Chapter 312: Pinpointing Targets [Part 1]
Cillin didn’t set out to look for Moon’s black box immediately because of two reasons: one, Guan Feng’s business was more urgent and two, Cillin wanted to lie low for a bit before making his next move . Figuratively speaking, he had started quite the fire in the empire recently, and practically everyone was keeping an eye on him right now . It would be bad if someone found out about the black box because he was too hasty .
Just like Sigma’s master had said while he was still alive, some secrets were best left in the dark . In this case, he didn’t even know if he could find the black box or whether he could use it to reopen Shortcut again, so it benefited no one to reveal its existence .
Cillin and Guan Feng spent nearly the whole day in the latter’s workshop while Wheeze and Moon fooled around outside . Wheeze was happy that it finally found someone who would play ball with it .
The moment Moon caught the ball Wheeze threw at his direction, he knew instantly that it was made from the scales of that little snake from a long time ago . While they were playing, Wheeze told Moon about their meeting with the Black Viper .
Not many people earned the trust of the Black Viper itself, much less a gift . If Moon wasn’t sure if Wheeze and Cillin were trustworthy before, he was now . At the very least, they were a lot trustworthy than the Xi Family right now .
Xi Kai would be vomiting blood if Xi Kai could read Moon’s mind . Since when did their creation trust an outsider more than they trusted the family of their own creator?
By showing the Black Viper’s gift to Moon, Wheeze had unknowingly improved the robot’s impression of itself and Cillin by a lot . Moreover, their strong relationship reminded Moon of the good old times when all five of them and their master were still living together .
While Cillin and Guan Feng were busying themselves, Moon also took some materials from Guan Feng’s workshop and upgraded his parts . He switched out the old parts with new parts, and he even installed a concealed weapon in his body . Neither Cillin nor Guan Feng were exactly sure what kind of weapon it was because Wheeze was the only who was around when Moon was performing the self-upgrade . Whatever it was, it couldn’t be good for its victims considering that it was the combined creation of Moon and Wheeze .
Cillin had to invest all of his energy in Guan Feng’s project, and he was so busy that he literally couldn’t afford the time to attend his courses despite having returned to AF1 . Thankfully, none of the lecturers complained not only because Guan Feng had informed them of Cillin’s unavailability beforehand, but also because the young man himself was a special person right now . He had the privilege not to attend their courses without consequences, and they couldn’t even pretend not to know him since he was famous—or infamous—in the academic circle right now .
Cillin had said what many people dared not say, and done what many dared not done in their lifetime . Even now, the storm he started still hadn’t subsided completely, and the status of some established theories had never been as threatened as they were now . While everyone was Meanwhile, the culprit behind everything and his mentor was working overnight on a certain engineering project that had garnered an exceptional amount of attention from the army . A lot of people had probably forgotten that Cillin was officially accepted into the RAS as a member of the engineering department, not the virology department…
Finally, after a grueling period of almost non-stop working, Cillin finally completed the most important and complicated component of Guan Feng’s project . Guan Feng had also or or less returned to full health, so Cillin didn’t need to handle everything by himself anymore . The remaining tasks was more or less a piece of cake to finish, so Guan Feng gave Cillin the permission to leave the workshop and catch his breath a little .
It had been days since he was stuck inside the workshop, and when Cillin emerged he didn’t find Wheeze or Moon anywhere . He had no doubt that the naughty duo had left to cause some trouble somewhere .
Cillin ate himself to full and stretched out his stiffened muscles a little . Just when he was about to go back to the workshop and help Guan Feng finish the rest of the work, he suddenly received a call from someone in AF1, more specifically the supervisor who was responsible for looking after the animals . Cillin knew immediately that Wheeze and Moon were behind this the moment the person introduced himself, and he was right . The supervisor told him that a brawl had broken out at the animals’ dwelling—which was nothing new—but when he arrived at the scene, he was surprised to find two unfamiliar faces . Well, maybe not Wheeze, but Moon was definitely a stranger no one had ever seen before . By now everyone knows that Cillin was Wheeze’s caretaker, so the supervisor had contacted Cillin immediately .
When Cillin arrived, the animals were receiving a stern lecture from the supervisor . The gigantic King Kong was bowing its head and wearing an aggrieved expression on its face . Almost everyone else was more or less wearing the same expression as well; everyone except Wheeze and Moon . Those two were standing at the side and glaring at the supervisors as if it was their fault for interfering with the brawl, Cillin could spotted claw marks on the faces of two other supervisors . It was obviously Wheeze’s handiwork .
