[However, when Shinomiya Un'taka received the notification from the military this morning, he initially thought he was dreaming and that he was actually working on a project.]
Although he was told that he could only equip weapons and not perform analysis, it was enough for Shinomiya Un'taka.
"This is truly eye-opening. How did you manage to get an Iron Man suit from that stingy Zhuge Cong?"
[When Hachiman Hikigaya heard what Shinomiya Un'ei said, his good friend Zhuge Cong frowned and glared at Shinomiya Un'ei with hostility.]
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Hachiman Hikigaya, I forgot you were Zhuge Cong's good friend. I apologize for offending your friend in your presence."
[Shinomiya Un'taka also noticed the unfriendly look in Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes and said...]
"Shinomiya Un'yō, I want to know what you've done for us?"
[Hachiman Hikigaya crossed his arms and looked at Shinomiya Un'taka, saying that he wouldn't forgive Shinomiya Un'taka just because of his insincere apology.]
[Shinomiya Un'yō already had a bad impression of Hachiman Hikigaya, and his recent slander of Zhuge Cong in front of him further lowered Hachiman's opinion of him.]
"What I can do for you is what I am capable of doing."
"First, I can upgrade your system, and then..."
"That's not what I was asking, Shinomiya Un'taka."
"I'm asking about firepower weapons."
[Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Un'taka Shinomiya and said, "The situation is beyond my control now, so I might as well optimize my battle suit to the greatest extent possible."]
[After all, although Hachiman Hikigaya disliked Untaka Shinomiya, it must be said that after Zhuge Cong stopped weapons research and supply, Untaka Shinomiya's Shinomiya Industries was the best.]
"No problem, Lieutenant Colonel Hachiman Hikigaya will satisfy you."
[Then, Shinomiya Un'taka signaled his men to bring up all the weapons they had prepared beforehand, and then had a professional salesman demonstrate Shinomiya Industries' weapons to Hachiman Hikigaya and the other officers.]
"Clarich high-tech, semi-automatic, 9mm pistol, how about that? It's small, I think so too. Let's look at the next one."
"M24 shotgun, pump-action machine gun, five-round magazine, okay, looks like I don't like it."
[After placing the Clarity high-tech pistol on the table, Shinomiya Un'taka's subordinates took out a new weapon, sensing Hachiman Hikigaya's dissatisfaction from his expression.]
[After all, if he hadn't handled the weapons sales matter well today, he felt that before he even got back, his boss, Shinomiya Mitsuaki, would kick him out of the car and fire him.]
"This is an FN2000, 850 rounds per second, 5.56mm bullets, effective range 500 meters, with a 1.6x optical sight."
"The Mirkol 40mm grenade launcher is easily handled, capable of firing tear gas, smoke grenades, and stun grenades. It can hold six rounds at a time and fire all six in three seconds for fire support or cover."
"The Minigun M134 7.62mm machine gun, with its six independent barrels and terrifying rate of fire, can easily mow down a large group of enemies, tearing them all to shreds."
"awesome."
Outside the light screen, Hirano Toda, the Rhino Man, stared wide-eyed at the guns and weapons the salesman was displaying, not daring to blink for a moment, afraid that he would miss some exciting scene if he blinked.
As a military enthusiast, Hirano Toda's favorite thing is these firearms.
So I was quite excited when I saw all those cool guns.
"This is a truly prized possession, like a Cuban cigar in the world of cigars."
The salesman, seeing the unmoved officer and then glancing at his boss, felt a pang of unease and had no choice but to pull out his trump card.
"This is the carrier of the kinetic kill Sidewinder missile, and it also contains a second-stage cyclotrimethylene nitrosamine RDX bomb, capable of breaching the bunker beneath it."
The salesman then handed the rattlesnake to Hachiman Hikigaya so he could feel it.
"This weapon also has a very elegant name: 'Ex-Wife.'"
[Hachiman Hikigaya felt a strange unease hearing the name of his ex-wife.]
"This is already the best, so, Lieutenant Colonel Hachiman Hikigaya, what would you like to ask for?"
The salesman looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with sincere eyes, as if afraid that Hachiman might say he wasn't interested.
"I'll take it."
"You have excellent taste, Lieutenant Colonel Hikigaya Hachiman. So, which one do you need?"
The salesman breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Hachiman Hikigaya needed help; his high-paying job was safe.
"Only children make choices; I want them all."
[Hachiman Hikigaya drew a circle around all the weapons the salesman had just taken out.]
"No, it's still not enough. How can such a small amount of weapons be called a war machine? We need to add at least a few more of these weapons."
"Then you also need to prepare a backup, as well as a backup in case the backup is lost."
"It would be best if we could prepare a few more sets of battle suits."
Ryuguuin Seiya watched with great care as Hikigaya Hachiman selected a weapon on the light screen.
Ryuguuin Seiya felt that these weapons were far from enough.
"Let me see what's inside."
[Having no way to leave for the time being, Zhuge Cong asked Nishikata to call a few people to carry him to the underground work laboratory.]
The first thing Zhuge Cong found after opening the box was a blueprint, on which He Ran had written two names.
[Ark Reactor: Zhuge Yunhai, Qiuyue Sifeng.]
After unfolding the blueprint, Zhuge Cong carefully examined it and, finding nothing particularly noteworthy, tossed it aside.
Then Zhuge Cong discovered a USB drive and several notebooks.
[Then Zhuge Cong reviewed all the notes and watched the videos on the USB drive one by one, but still gained nothing. By the time he watched the last video, Zhuge Cong had given up all hope.]
"Cong, by the time you see this video, I may no longer be alive, but that doesn't matter; everyone dies eventually."
"I built this for you. You might not see anything special about it now, but I believe that one day you will understand that it is far more than what you see now."
"I may not be able to solve this problem in my remaining years, but I believe you can."
"Then you can change the world."
147: Zhuge Cong: The gears of fate have begun to turn.
Zhuge Cong stared blankly at the words of his father, Zhuge Yunhai, in the video on the screen in front of him.
Then some thoughts began to arise in my mind.
A few days later, Nishikata and the others left Zhuge Cong's house, also taking the opportunity to act as supervisors, helping Zhuge Cong oversee the progress of the renovation workers' work on the mansion.
[It has to be said that having seven or eight men in suits there was quite intimidating; the renovation workers probably couldn't stand it and started the repairs very quickly without any delay.]
After changing his clothes, Zhuge Cong got into his luxury car and drove towards the Zhuge Group.
"Uncle, give me the most luxurious Jianbing Guozi."
[While driving, Zhuge Cong happened to see a vendor selling jianbing (Chinese crepes) and suddenly felt hungry, so he stopped the car in front of the stall and said...]
"Okay, just a moment, it'll be ready soon. 20 yuan."
The pancake vendor deftly prepared a pancake and handed it to Zhuge Cong, then looked at Zhuge Cong and said, "He looks familiar."
"Are you Iron Man?"
Sometimes, I'll scan it for you.
[Zhuge Cong took the jianbing guozi and then scanned the vendor's payment code with his modified watch, saying...]
"Come again next time!"
The pancake vendor, watching Zhuge Cong drive away, remarked that he hadn't expected to serve such a remarkable person as Iron Man today, and felt a surge of pride.
"I thought you weren't coming out of your mansion, Mr. Vanished Iron Man."
[Inside a luxurious office at the Zhuge Group, Shiho Miyano looked at Zhuge Cong, who was walking in with a jianbing (Chinese crepe) in his mouth, and said...]
"Zhuge Group, Zhuge Group, my surname is Zhuge, why can't I come?"
As Zhuge Cong spoke, he plopped down opposite Shiho Miyano.
"Someone just called to tell me that Shinomiya Un'taka will be attending the Zhuge exhibition tomorrow night, and asked me to check with you to see if you'll be going."
"I think I'll go. I'm still very curious about what kind of things Shinomiya Un'taka will bring to the exhibition. I'll probably have the steam engine that's been improved three times."
[After throwing the empty wrapper of his jianbing (Chinese crepe) into the trash can, Zhuge Cong overheard Shinomiya Un'ei complaining about attending the expo.]
"How are you feeling...?"
"How far have we gone?"
[Shiho Miyano suddenly spoke up and asked.]
[Shiho Miyano was prepared to hear Zhuge Cong say that the data was over 95%.]
"My health is great, I'm in excellent shape and have a great appetite."
"That's not what I'm asking, don't change the subject. I'm asking about the percentage of corrosion caused by the mini arc reactor on your chest."
[Shiho Miyano looked at the cunning Zhuge Cong and said, "But seeing that Zhuge Cong still has the mind to play tricks, his health probably isn't too bad."]
"Sixty percent."
"Sixty percent! I remember it was almost ninety percent before?"
[When Shiho Miyano heard Zhuge Cong say 60%, a look of surprise and delight appeared on her face.]
