Arknights is too real, right?

After returning to the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng immediately entered "working mode". After being away for a while, he had to quickly grasp the current situation.

Through reports from Nancy, Franka, Lao Pu, and Tang Hua, Xia Feng learned some information.

First of all, the previous batch of orders from the Sargon government has been successfully completed. A total of 5,000 rough stones have been delivered one by one, and the money has been received in full.

This matter was done in cooperation with the Glasgow Gang, so Xia Feng had already known about it from Wei Na.

This cooperation is tantamount to giving timely help to King Sargon. Daring to take such a big risk for cross-border transactions has nothing to do with business and is considered a big favor.

For a government that had just suppressed the rebellion, 5,000 finished Origin Stones were the foundation of the country.

Sargon's order almost emptied Black Feather's previous inventory, but the Scourge Action Team led by Froststar and Franka also had abundant loot.

With the intelligence support of Penguin Logistics, this operation once again swept through several natural disaster areas, and also conducted strategic cooperation with Black Steel in the process.

A large number of plundered Origin Stones were transported back to the processing factory in Hapi City, waiting for Lao Pu to turn them into finished Origin Stones.

Meanwhile, Casimir’s acquisition went as expected.

As Kuroyu's influence in the circle grows, "retail investors" who were hesitant before finally put down their guard and chose to cooperate with Kuroyu in Originium processing.

Faced with the extremely high purchase price, most customers chose to directly exchange Originium for cash after a short consideration.

Coupled with the goods accumulated by the Haimen Gang from stowaways and the monopoly acquisitions of the Sami Snow Emperor Group, Black Feather's Origin Stone inventory was once again pushed to an unprecedented level in a very short period of time.

Looking at Tang Hua's statistics on the finished product warehouse, Xia Feng counted with some uncertainty.

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, more than 20,000?"

Xia Feng's surprise was completely within everyone's expectation. To be honest, this number was outrageous.

Lao Pu lit up a cigarette and said leisurely.

"If all ongoing orders are completed, the total inventory should exceed 25,000 pieces."

Xia Feng frowned.

"Why are there so many?"

"Xia Feng, there is no need to be surprised. If you think about it carefully, this is inevitable. Our current inventory can be considered as the total amount of underground source stones that unified the entire eastern Terra within a specific period of time."

After hearing what Lao Pu said, Xia Feng seemed to understand.

Because Black Feather's influence among the infected has increased, it has also increased its overall influence in disguise. Many foreign organizations that were unfamiliar and uncertain before have "fallen into the trap" this time.

Just like a new public beta mobile game, as long as the publicity is in place and the reputation is good, the revenue in the first month of the public beta will definitely explode, which will instantly accumulate resources beyond imagination.

Then, the income will gradually decrease over time and gradually stabilize.

Black Feather's current Origin Stone reserve gave Xia Feng immediate confidence. It might be too much to describe it as "rich enough to rival a country," but it was more than enough to defeat a small, backward country.

In this way, no matter how high Yin Hui's need for Origin Stones is in the future, he can satisfy it effortlessly and transport a lot of them to Boss Yin.

If he can't defeat Kjelag anymore, it's Yin Hui's own problem.

In the afternoon, Xia Feng went to visit Mel's exclusive laboratory next door to the barbecue restaurant.

Over a period of time, the laboratory has begun to take shape. In Meier's own words, it has entered the research and development stage from the debugging stage.

In addition to "toys" such as drones and electronic dogs, Mel is now devoted to the development of a great weapon.

This is an Originium-powered, mechanical compound weapon, which Mel calls [Lightning Cutter].

This name sounds completely meaningless and is pretty average, but when Xia Feng saw the entity of Lightning Cutter, he was amazed.

This is a complex and extremely huge sword blade with an S-level source stone inlaid in the center of the hilt. The sword body can transform into many forms.

After listening to Mel's explanation of the functions of the Lightning Cutter, Xia Feng had a feeling.

Huang Xuanshan can also forge swords and is a master swordsmith, but if you compare the swords made by Huang Xuanshan with the lightning cutter developed by Mel.

That's equivalent to the difference between the Undocumented Knight and Genos, the difference between Kokudaiyo and Angel, and the difference between Teletubbies and Iron-Blooded Gundam.

According to Meier, the Lightning Cutter is made of special composite metal, and its overall weight is so light that even two dogs can move it.

At the same time, the front end of the sword blade can automatically replenish high-pressure gas, and the explosion can occur through the control of the sword hilt.

Not only that, the Lightning Cutter can also change into several forms, such as a flamethrower, an ice condenser, it can also release smoke, launch flares, locate areas, and even simply use it as a flashlight.

After passing the test of the three wolf brothers, everyone unanimously agreed that this is the first choice artifact for natural disaster travel and single-on-group fights.

The Lightning Cutter has not yet been officially completed, because the cost is high and mass production is difficult to achieve. The most that can be done is to give one to each of Black Feather's core members in need.

Xia Feng himself has little expectations. For him, the Shenyue Sword's ability to store Source Stone energy is irreplaceable.

Moreover, he felt embarrassed carrying a giant sword like the Lightning Cutter that looked like a movie prop.

Of course, Mel's starting point is good, in order to allow everyone to have a higher error tolerance rate when facing various dangerous environments in the future.

In order to show his support, Xia Feng specifically allowed her to use the source stones in the finished product library for research at will, and he could still afford to spend this money.

Standing at the door of the laboratory, Xia Feng nodded like a big boss with his hands behind his back.

"Well done, great Engineer Mel, well done."

Mel is anything but humble.

"This is nothing. Just wait. I also plan to develop a super-large mobile ship for you. By then, all members can go to the deck to bask in the sun."

Xia Feng coughed lightly.

"Ahem, I think we should not aim too high and set a small goal first."

"This is a small goal."

"All right."

Due to the full take-off of various businesses, Heiyu now has no shortage of money, and all needs can be met in an all-round way.

Over time, the medical department has also made great progress.

Doctors Hemmer and Kane optimized the previous ore disease-inhibiting solvents and produced and formulated a considerable number of finished products.

Yi Nanxue's supply of medicines is very stable, and Xia Feng is not worried about shortages, so he decided to hold another charity event to deliver medicines to infected people.

Dr. Kane was very pleased with this decision, and Helmer, a student, also smiled in agreement.

The medical department on the second floor.

Dr. Kane was wearing a white coat and said solemnly to Xia Feng.

"Xia Feng, those who are willing to give selflessly deserve more. You are a competent leader and the hope of the infected."

If it were in the past, Xia Feng might be a little embarrassed about this compliment and said to keep working hard, but now, his smile is a little complicated.

Perhaps, he is not as great as Dr. Kane says.

At this moment, he was suddenly afraid of giving the name Xia Feng a special meaning, such as the hope of the infected.

Because bearing this kind of responsibility imposed on him by others may cause him to have unnecessary hesitation in the future when faced with certain choices.

Only he knows in his heart that he is not the faith of the infected, nor the hope of the infected. He is just an ordinary person.
