117: 117.

Battle Uniform 117: 117.

Battle Uniform After activating the “Cross-border” Divine Skills, it only took a blink of an eye for Lu Li to return to the garage of the villa.

This side was in the evening, and just as he was about to send a message to Jessica with his phone, he heard some noise from the swimming pool.

Stepping out of the garage for a look, he saw two girls frolicking in the water.

Jessica, clad in a red bikini, kept scooping up big splashes of water to douse the other girl.

The other girl, wearing a white bikini, maintained an elegant and poised demeanor while splashing around, none other than Teresa.

“The two of you seem to get along quite well.”

Lu Li walked over at a leisurely pace, and Jessica spotted him from afar.

“Lu Li, you’re back!”

Jessica quickly ran out from the swimming pool, laughing and going in for a hug.

After more than a month, the young girl had grown even more vivacious and slender.

Despite being covered in water droplets, she was so alluring that she could make one’s mouth parched and tongue swelter.

Lu Li held her and weighed her, saying with a smile, “You’ve gained quite a bit of weight, seems like you’re doing well.”

“I’ve gained weight because I’ve grown taller~”

Jessica hurriedly jumped down, standing straight to let Lu Li see, and indeed, she had grown a centimeter or two taller.

Lu Li ruffled her hair and said to Teresa, “Long time no see.”

“Lu Li, hello.”

Teresa emerged from the swimming pool, greeting him calmly and naturally.

Her legs stood straight, her hands crossed over her navel—serene and graceful.

It was as if she wasn’t wearing a bikini, but an evening gown.

Faced with his mentor, Lu Li couldn’t quite think of what to say for a moment.

At this time, Jessica, with her arm around Teresa’s shoulder, squeezed her eyebrows and said,

“Miss Canary, you should stay over tonight~”

Teresa’s expression remained calm, but she averted her gaze and spoke softly, “I would need my mother’s consent…”

“Then call her quickly~”

Jessica ran to the lounge chairs to pick up two phones, giving one to Teresa and the other to Lu Li:

“Mr.

Liu looked for you this morning.”

Hearing it was Academician Liu Jiang who had been looking for him, Lu Li quickly took the phone to check.

“The experimental version of the ‘Terminator’ has been made!

That was fast, good thing I came back early.”

With motivation, one tends to work extra assertively.

Academician Liu had sent design drawings for the “experimental version,” along with a 360-degree panoramic view, indicating it had already been shipped over via UPS international express.

Having communicated countless times before, Lu Li couldn’t find any faults and simply waited for the delivery.

At that moment, Teresa had also finished her call and came over, saying with a smile,

“My mother has agreed, I will be imposing tonight.”

Jessica giggled, “You should call the school to ask for leave too, are you sure you can attend school tomorrow?”

Teresa remained composed, replying, “I can handle it, I’m not a frail person.”

“Then…

let’s go make some delicious and nutritious food to prepare for the challenging night ahead~”

Jessica pushed Teresa toward the villa and gave Lu Li a wink.

Lu Li was about to stop this absurd behavior with righteous words, but at that moment, a message came through, preventing him from making that justified move.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The message was from “Professor Wei,” whom he had previously added on WeChat.

Lu Li had long since had no recollection of this person and had even forgotten the name, only remembering that he was an old acquaintance of his father, a professor from Xigong University.

However, the message he sent this time was quite interesting: a “Declaration”:

“Resolutely opposed to the implementation of network attacks in any form.”

Lu Li clicked in and saw that it was the National Security Agency of the Star Alliance Country, which had invaded Xigong University’s internal system, attempting to steal important data.

“The Star Alliance Country is making such a big fuss over a university?”

Having been away from his homeland for a long time, Lu Li was unfamiliar with this school, so he opened his browser to do a search.

This search was quite revealing; it turned out that the designers of the flying devices showcased at the military parade two days ago were all alumni of this school.

And Professor Wei, who had sent the message, his name could also be found on the official website—Wei Wenqi, an expert in metal materials.

“Metal materials…”

Lu Li suddenly remembered that this person had once hinted at wanting to take on some work related to the Terminator.

“Xiao Cha’s steel armor might as well be tested with him.”

One shouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket; he also needed to pave a few more paths for himself.

Lu Li directly made a phone call.

There was a 13-hour time difference between them, and it should have been around 10 a.m.

there.

The other party picked up instantly.

“Wow, Young Master Lu, what a rare visitor.”

Professor Wei was obviously much more lively, cracking a joke as soon as he spoke.

Lu Li said with a smile, “Professor Wei, I just saw the ‘Declaration’ you sent.”

“How deplorable, they stole our 140T of materials.

They even took our administrative notice of the postponed exam.

Please help me spread the word in the overseas community…

Eh~ Did you call especially for some other matter?”

“That’s right.” Lu Li was straightforward, “I’d like to ask you to make a big toy for me.

Have you seen ‘Iron Man’?”

“Of course, I’ve seen it.

You’re not thinking of making Iron Armor, are you?”

“That’s right!

Sturdy and durable.

It’s okay if it’s heavy, just don’t exceed 500 kilograms.

It must be able to withstand close-range strafing from armor-piercing rounds of heavy machine guns, and also easy to carry, preferably like the true Iron Armor with modular assembly…”

Listening to Lu Li’s list of requirements, Professor Wei wasn’t too surprised.

Since the movie became a hit, people all over the world had been curious about imitating it; you could even find replicas for sale on Taobao.

But without that ark reactor, it was nothing but a large toy.

Just then, Lu Li added, “No need for a power source, just make it look nice and comfortable.”

Hearing this, Professor Wei was even more convinced it was a wealthy person wanting to make a large toy, so he intended to be a bit more reserved…

But Lu Li had already said, “If it can be done before the end of the month, I’m willing to pay a service fee of a million dollars.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Wei’s response turned into:

“I’m also quite interested in the Iron Armor.

How to tightly fit the metal material to the contours of the human body is a very worthy research topic.”

“Then I’ll be in your care.

Please send me the payment details.”

A million dollars was nothing to Lu Li now; even ten million wouldn’t faze him.

Because this money wasn’t hard-earned or saved by him, it was hard to treat it with any sense of importance.

But it was different for Wei Wenqi.

Within the span of smoking a cigarette after hanging up the phone, his mobile chimed—the money had already been deposited!

“Good lad, I’m impressed!

Whoever blabbers that Lu Hongbing is down and out, they’re talking nonsense!”

He stubbed out his cigarette butt and listed several project timelines on paper, musing:

“With an existing reference and calling upon those doctoral students who are still watching cartoons at their age, 12 days should do it.”

~~~~~~~~~~~

Money paves the way, problems perfectly solved.

Jessica also called Lu Li to dine.

The dinner consisted of steak rich in protein and amino acids; the three ate quietly, the atmosphere somewhat eerie.

Jessica glanced around, then quickly wiped her mouth and giggled, “I’m full, I’m going to sleep~”

After finishing, she disappeared without a trace.

The atmosphere grew even weirder, Lu Li quickly finished eating, then stood up and said:

“Teresa, if you’re tired…

there’s no need to strain yourself, get some rest early.”

Teresa took a sip of red wine and chuckled, “I’m not straining myself.

Please wait for me for 10 minutes.”
