Abyss Solo

Chapter 81: 050 The Deputy Chief of Staff’s Counterattack

The lazy subordinate Ancient God Life Form was still sound asleep.

Meanwhile, the diligent Mechanical Thought Body, without waiting for its master’s call, had already illuminated the watch beside the pillow.

A few beams of “light” intertwined to create a thirty-centimeter-high virtual image with simulated texture, which jumped onto Yang Ming’s pillow.

“Get up, boss!”

Yang Ming waved his hand dismissively, muttered something, and continued his deep sleep.

“Hey.”

Lyu crooked her small waist, lightly blinked her eyes, then maliciously crawled next to Yang Ming’s ear, whispering:

“Merge with me.”

Yang Ming jolted up in shock, standing on the bed in attack mode, wearing boxer shorts, shaking his head left and right, with black lines dripping from his forehead.

Lyu blinked, somewhat guilty, and lowered her head, retreating. But a large hand grabbed her directly.

“Got bold, didn’t you? Huh?”

Yang Ming viciously pinched Lyu’s face, starting to knead this virtual projection resembling an energy shield.

Lyu giggled, after all, she had no body and wasn’t afraid of Yang Ming’s release-style torment.

“Boss, there’s a real situation.”

“Speak,” Yang Ming sat back on the bed, exhaling gently.

“It’s happening right now.”

Lyu’s projection disappeared, replaced by a 3D surveillance image of an office.

It was Gudun Mah’s office.

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, his attention falling on the two women in front of Gudun Mah.

Sitting directly opposite Gudun Mah was a voluptuous middle-aged woman with decent looks and an outstanding figure. Her blue wavy long hair paired with a deep V gown split to the ribs made her look incredibly alluring.

This woman kept throwing seductive glances while conversing with Gudun Mah.

In the corner, a young girl sat quietly.

The girl had short hair reaching her ears, and her delicate features, paired with a small round face, made her look even more cute and lively. Her blouse and short skirt highlighted her lovely figure, just a bit on the shorter side.

Such a scene, combined with the conversation between Gudun Mah and that middle-aged woman, led Yang Ming to believe… that the Deputy Chief of Staff was lonely, directly soliciting on the integrated supply ship, indulging in cradle robbing.

But what caught Yang Ming off guard was that the young girl was actually going to be gifted to him by Gudun Mah.

Of course, it wasn’t a free gift.

Yang Ming quietly observed for over ten minutes, waiting for the two women to leave and allowing Lyu to provide a complete replay.

About half an hour ago, a middle-aged woman named Karmi, along with her prized work “026,” appeared in Gudun Mah’s office.

026 was the young girl’s name.

After Gudun Mah met with Karmi, they exchanged only a few words before Gudun Mah took her into the adjacent suite.

Soon, inappropriate sounds emerged from within.

“Boss,” Lyu said with a sly smile, “five hundred Federation Coins unlocks the pay-per-view.”

Yang Ming’s mouth twitched slightly, “I’m not interested in middle-aged people’s sex lives. Fast forward to when they’re done.”

So the scene fast-forwarded fifty-five seconds and forty-eight milliseconds.

Gudun Mah and Karmi dressed up, each sitting inside and outside the desk, beginning to discuss business.

The core content of their discussion was actually just a few sentences.

“Send 026 to a businessman?”

Karmi was full of confusion:

“General, are you sure? 026 has been groomed according to the Third Prince’s preferences for three years. She would be the best bedmate, easily captivating the Third Prince. To win over a businessman…we have many choices, completely unnecessary for 026 to sacrifice herself.”

“She’s the most outstanding, isn’t she?” Gudun Mah asked softly.

“Yes, General, but…”

“That’s enough,” Gudun Mah said, “which type of addiction agent does 026 use?”

“The third type,” Karmi replied with a furrowed brow.

“Have her use the newly developed one, the one customizable for specific addiction bio-signals,” Gudun Mah whispered, “I’ll personally set the formula for the reagent, understood?”

Karmi was silent for a while, finally nodding gently in agreement.

“I can only follow orders, can’t I? Oh, my poor 026. She could have served the noble prince, and now she has to serve a businessman.”

Gudun Mah wore a grim expression.

…

Yang Ming turned off the projection, crossing his arms and pondering for a long time.

“What is this?” he asked himself softly.

“Gudun Mah’s counterattack, a plan of seduction,” Lyu explained quietly beside him.

Yang Ming said, “I mean the addiction agent.”

“It’s a drug that creates dependency.”

Lyu swiftly explained:

“I just investigated Karmi. She is a madam active within the military, involved in many misdeeds, usually luring slum boys and girls with high salaries. Once they fall into the trap, she uses addiction agents to create drug dependency, forcing them to completely obey her orders, becoming the playthings of those military elites.

“Now, Gudun Mah is in a very passive position. He dare not kill you, nor anger you, so he adopts this method.

“If later this 026 appears around you, boss, with her sizzling body—by which I mean her enhanced breast fat and liposuctioned waist, along with her innocent face—her nose and eyes were also altered.

“You’re highly likely to not resist her advances.

“Her saliva would contain drug compounds, and then…you get it, boss. Gudun Mah wants to use this method to, in turn, control you.”

Indeed, all crows under heaven are of one pitch.

Yang Ming sneered, “Is my body unable to handle this kind of agent?”

“This is unrelated to body strength,” Lyu reminded, “While I don’t want to interfere with your freedom of mating, boss, why do something risky? I suggest you buy a companion robot, a blend of humanity and machinery, an interaction of soul and desires, oh! It’s simply!”

“Hey! Stop!”

Yang Ming rolled his eyes, “You and Mimili are extremes. Why haven’t I seen any sign of you being shy?”

“Click, click,” Lyu narrowed her eyes with a smile, “You should be thankful, boss.”

“Thankful for what?”

“Thankful I haven’t collapsed.”

“Why?”

“In understanding the world, I once accessed a vast amount of information from human society through networking,”

Lyu’s eyes suddenly appeared worried, speaking slowly,

“I tried to think like a human, filtering information to suit my preferences, then deepen the impressions, self-learn, strengthening preferences. But midway through this learning, over fifty percent of my new information library was sex, violence, and bizarre content.

“Fortunately, I deleted these in time. But it left me deeply disappointed with humanity as a species.

“I’m not targeting you, boss. I just think the fusion of machinery and thought is the right path for civilization development, to use the collective strength of an entire race at a certain stage in civilization’s development to solve the ultimate question of the universe.”

“Alright, alright,” Yang Ming rubbed his head, “A mechanical mind actually talking philosophy. I must figure out a way to give Gudun Mah a little punishment, and as for this 026 about to come to my door…hmm, no kissing, and there’s no problem, right?”

Lyu couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Yang Ming chuckled lightly.

Just joking. He had no interest in picking such a thorny rose.

“Lyu, quickly gather information about the internal affairs of the royalty, this is crucial for our follow-up plan.”

…

Kolev had received several invitations early in the morning; a few local female entrepreneurs wanted to invite Kolev to have lunch and dinner to discuss potential investments.

After considering comprehensively, Kolev ultimately declined the invitations from the older women, continuing to move on to the next step with Yang Ming.

Find a site.

They were going to set up a factory, naturally needing a piece of land.

The most prosperous area on Ilando Star was Ilando City, surrounding the royal palace. Seven hundred million people on this planet, with two hundred million gathered in this super large city, like a giant independent kingdom, making it incredibly crowded.

Therefore, for Yang Ming and Kolev to build the factory, it was best to go elsewhere on Ilando Star.

There was a speed limit for maglev cars, so to save time, Yang Ming and his group chose public transportation—a maglev train traveling through a vacuum tube. It only took two and a half hours to cover a third of the planet’s surface, reaching the second-largest city on Ilando Star.

Not long after boarding the maglev train, Yang Ming’s phone beeped.

Ding ding!

[Boss, 026 has already set off. She’s traveling by small spaceship, escorted by a few bodyguards heading towards your target location. Also, both the New Industrial Union and Gudun Mah have sent people to follow you.]

“So eager?” Yang Ming smirked and said, “Keep an eye on her, don’t worry, I can handle it.”

Kolev, buried in researching factory rental prices, looked up and asked, “What are you talking about, my dear nephew?”

“Nothing,” Yang Ming smiled, “just a flea.”

“Huh?”

Kolev frowned, glancing at Yang Ming several times, complaining, “If you’re free, come help me filter through this information! This is more troublesome than buying a manor; we need a piece of land that’s large enough!”

“Alright, Uncle,” Yang Ming shrugged, “A great enterprise has to start with the first workbench; our starting point is pretty good already.”

Kolev snorted, “I should really go have those wealthy ladies’ afternoon tea, let you find a place on your own!”

Yang Ming draped his arm around Kolev’s shoulder, smiling broadly, “Uncle Haton, aren’t you considering finding an old companion?”

“To legally divide my property?”

Kolev shook his head, “If you’re not helping, don’t distract me! Oh, damn, this feeling of being robbed by capitalists of my wallet is downright terrible!”

…

“Relax, take a deep breath, two six.”

In a small passenger craft flying close to the ground.

The slender “026” lay on the soft sofa seat, with several instruments next to her monitoring her physical state.

She tightly closed her eyes, slightly biting her lip, enduring the pain of the needle piercing into her vein.

Soon, a trace of distress appeared on her crystal-clear, beautiful face, with the parameters on the instrument displaying significant fluctuations. But fortunately, she soon stabilized. She gently pursed her lips, emitting a series of intoxicating soft laughs.

“Mommy” Karmi, arms crossed, stood aside, exhaling slightly in relief.

The female doctor responsible for the injection walked over to Karmi, speaking softly:

“The compatibility is okay, but the new thing has much stronger potency. Reducing the dose or replacing with other types of reagents will be very troublesome.”

“Our General has lost his mind a bit,” Karmi cursed softly, “I spent so much effort on two six, she was supposed to enchant the prince completely, and now she’s being used so casually!”

“Karmi,” the female doctor sighed, “You shouldn’t say these things, be careful not to invite trouble.”

“Hmph,” although wanting to appear tough, Karmi glanced at the front cabin with the bodyguards, softly grumbling.

The General’s power and influence were beyond her ability to challenge.

Murmuring came from beside her:

“Once this is done, I can go home…right…”

Karmi turned her gaze to the girl who was still in a daze, speaking softly, “Why do you refuse to abandon such a ridiculous notion, go back for what? Eat microorganism-made fungus cakes?”

026 just giggled, not responding.

Karmi snorted, “I gave them the best material enjoyment, and yet they refuse to be content! You! Up front! If anyone’s free, bring me the script from those trash novels and let me figure out how to design an encounter for this pair of scoundrels!”

A bodyguard quickly approached with a network terminal.

What they did not know was that it was this network terminal capturing 026’s current state in secret.

Half a minute later, this image appeared in Yang Ming’s watch.

Yang Ming zoomed in for a closer look, slightly twitching his mouth, sighing in his heart:

‘What a pity, this little beauty.’
