230: Chapter 230: The Fleet is Executed by Cannon Fire, Golden Light Flashes, and the Empress Steals the Job?

Luo Yunwei lifted her face, her breathing not yet fully steady, but she proactively offered her chin up.

Chen Chen reached out and pinched her chin.

The moment his fingertips pressed against that delicate skin, a blue panel popped up on his retina.

[Ding! Target locked: Luo Yunwei.]

[Beauty assessment: 99 points (Top-tier).]

[Identity verification: Stunning Diva (Carries extremely high public faith and group emotion guidance weight).]

[Can be bound.]

Luo Yunwei did not dodge.

She even leaned forward by half an inch, her voice lowering.

"If the Lord needs me, I can start learning all the rules here from tonight."

Shen Wanxing hugged her scented pillow tightly, muttering sourly.

"It's over... Not only is she here to steal my job, but she also looks like a high-level power bank..."

Su Xiaoqi emerged from the side, holding a half-gnawed bone, and comforted her earnestly.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Wanxing."

"She doesn't look as soft as you, and she definitely isn't as good at looting corpses as you are."

Luo Yunwei's perfectly maintained posture finally glitched for a moment.

She turned her head slowly, looking at Su Xiaoqi.

"Looting... corpses?"

Shen Wanxing blushed so hard she wanted to crawl into a hole.

"Don't explain! The more you explain, the weirder it gets!"

Chen Chen ignored their fuss and gave a direct order.

"Bind Luo Yunwei."

[Binding successful!]

[Congratulations to the host for extracting the golden affix — Faith Furnace / Fanatical Echo (Lv.1)!]

[affix effect: Can collect emotions such as awe, worship, and fanaticism generated by the territory's population towards the host, smelting them into a tangible defensive shield.]

[Additional effect: When faith value is sufficient, can temporarily increase the host's Mental Power limit.]

A golden slot appeared on the edge of Chen Chen's panel.

[Current faith value: 127430 / 500000.]

The next second, the emotions from the Lower Deck, commercial district, and artisan district, which had just accumulated due to the main cannon's victory and the Tier-6 beheading, were forcibly integrated by the system.

The golden slot jumped up a notch.

Shen Wanbing's communication came in at the same time.

"Chen Chen, there is a new type of shield on the outer layer of the territory."

"The source is not the energy furnace."

"It is population emotion."

Mio's projection rushed out from the channel.

"This works too?"

"You can even use human hearts to charge shields now?"

The sound of the abacus in the Boss Lady's remote channel stopped.

"Can human hearts be entered into the point system? I think this thing has trade value."

Yi Chang's voice immediately cut in.

"Private trading of faith is prohibited."

The Boss Lady quickly changed her tone.

"I was just exploring the market boundaries."

Hearing these reports, Luo Yunwei's fingers hanging by her sides tightened slightly.

Since entering this fortress, she had already been shocked three times.

The first time was that Chen Chen actually managed to pull her out of the battlefield all by himself.

The second time was that every woman in this city did not look like a normal survivor.

The third time was that just as she knelt down, her core value was squeezed into a territorial shield.

This was not taking her in.

This was eating everything, wiping the plate clean, and then tossing the bones into the system.

Luo Yunwei breathed a sigh of relief instead.

A man like this would not be fooled by a few soft words from her.

Nor would he do anything stupid just because she was beautiful.

She liked this sense of security.

Luo Yunwei raised her hands and first took off the silver musical note pendant hanging on her chest.

The pendant opened, and inside lay half a scroll glowing with starlight.

"This is the portable core of the second scroll."

"There is another shell and camouflage array in the stage base, but the true scroll fluctuation is here."

She then took off the high-tier space ring on her right index finger and offered it with both hands.

"In the ring are the things I collected along the way."

"Sixty stage-grade energy amplifier towers."

"A set of SS-grade Spirit stabilization music stands."

"Twelve S-grade emotion amplification crystals."

"And over four thousand advanced vehicle cores, three hundred tons of A-grade alloy."

Luo Yunwei paused, lifted her face, and her tone was completely straightforward.

"As long as the Lord needs it, everything I have, along with my life, belongs to you."

Shen Wanxing felt her scalp tingle listening to this.

"She really knows how to play the game..."

Blood Rose smiled and added salt to the wound.

"Your sense of crisis is spot on."

Shen Wanxing pulled the blanket over her head.

"I don't want to hear it!"

Chen Chen took the scroll and the ring, and casually tossed them to Shen Wanbing's mechanical arm transfer port.

"Verify them first."

Shen Wanbing responded quickly.

"The scroll is real."

"The space ring has no traps, and the material data matches."

"She didn't hold anything back."

Luo Yunwei lowered her head gently.

"I wouldn't dare."

Chen Chen raised his hand and opened the external battlefield view.

"Then let's see the cleanup."

In the distance of the wasteland.

The Third Disassembly Fleet was in complete chaos.

The SS-grade logic virus had rendered the Battlefield Learning Core useless.

After Shen Wanbing accessed the scroll coordinate camouflage jammer, every time the twelve Star-Splitting Main Cannons fired, they would create a bunch of fake trajectories.

The grayish-white warships tried to collect models, but they only collected dirty data.

Jiang Jiuyou stood before the secondary command console, her right hand pressing down for the third volley.

"Three on the left wing, lock their thrusters."

"Qin Hongye, hit the core."

Qin Hongye lay on the calibration console, the bandage on her shoulder not yet removed.

"Got it."

The Meteor Sniper Cannon fired twice in quick succession.

Two auxiliary rounds drilled into the cracks of the grayish-white warship's shield.

The Star-Splitting Main Cannon immediately fired.

Boom!

The chest cavity of the half-step Tier-6 command machine was pierced, and the Battlefield Learning Core on its back exploded into a ball of black fire.

Su Xiaoqi cheered in the main control room while holding a pot.

"The big one is down!"

Mio held back for a long time, but couldn't help it anymore.

"That's a command machine! Not a big chicken leg!"

Shen Wanbing reported the numbers.

"Half-step Tier-6 command machine life signal zeroed."

"Seven warships remain, three out of control, four fleeing."

Jiang Jiuyou raised her hand.

"Leave none."

The secondary cannons, side cannons, and mobile artillery vehicles took over fire control simultaneously.

The four fleeing warships had just opened up distance when they were surrounded by fake trajectories, and real cannon beams drilled in from blind spots, piercing their engine rooms one by one.

Balls of light lit up across the wasteland.

Chen Chen glanced at the screen, turned around, and grabbed Shen Wanxing, who was quietly retreating.

Shen Wanxing froze.

"I'm not running."

"I'm just tactically moving away from the corpses."

"Get to work."

Chen Chen placed her on the tractor platform.

Shen Wanxing hugged her scented pillow, her face full of despair.

"I was still on vacation just a moment ago!"

Su Xiaoqi cheered her on while holding her bone basin.

"Go for it, Sister Wanxing! Maybe you'll get a pot after looting!"

"I don't want a pot!"

Luo Yunwei stood by, watching this girl who was protected by everyone yet urged by everyone to work, and for the first time, she couldn't find a response.

This national goddess, who seemed so fragile that she might cry at any moment, was thrown by Chen Chen directly into the ruins of the half-step Tier-6 battlefield.

She had originally thought everyone would protect Shen Wanxing.

As it turned out, Jiang Jiuyou was still urging her in the channel.

"Hurry up, the grayish-white wreckage still has a risk of self-destruction."

Shen Wanbing added.

"Wanxing, loot the command machine core first, don't touch the edge fragments."

Shen Wanxing was so aggrieved she was about to explode.

"You are so cold!"

Chen Chen spoke calmly.

"Three days of vacation preserved."

Shen Wanxing immediately wiped away non-existent tears.

"Then I'll loot faster."

She was sent above the ruins by the tractor beam.

The wasteland was still steaming.

The wreckage of the half-step Tier-6 command machine lay on the ground like a small building, with grayish-white electricity still jumping on its shell.

Shen Wanxing closed her eyes, extended a finger, and lightly poked the core fragment.

"Just one poke."

Golden light exploded.

Immediately after, a purple-gold beam of light shot into the sky.

[Lucky Critical triggered!]

[100x multiplier activated!]

[Reward quality limit leap!]

[Obtained: Half-step Tier-6 fleet computing core.]

[Obtained: SSS-grade blueprint - Battlefield Amplification Concert Stage.]

[Obtained: Grayish-white Battlefield Learning Core fragments × 300.]

[Obtained: High-tier disassembly warship outer armor material × 1200.]

[Obtained: Complete structural data for the scroll capture hook.]

The main control room was silent for half a second.

Mio's projection slowly turned toward Shen Wanxing.

"She just poked it once?"

Su Xiaoqi nodded earnestly.

"Sister Wanxing is very good at looting corpses."

Luo Yunwei stood in place, her chest heaving a bit more heavily.

She had seen too many talented people before.

Those who could sing, those who could inspire, those who could control the field, those who could kill.

But she had never seen someone who could turn a half-step Tier-6 ruin into a treasure trove with one finger.

Luo Yunwei lowered her eyes and rearranged her black dress.

She suddenly understood that relying solely on her status as a Diva would not get her a core position here.

There was no shortage of beautiful women here.

What was missing here were people who could make Chen Chen stronger.

After Shen Wanxing was tractor-beamed back, she immediately shrank into the corner of the sofa, hugging her pillow and playing dead.

Chen Chen scanned the new blueprint.

[SSS-grade blueprint - Battlefield Amplification Concert Stage]

[Effect: Can convert large-scale group emotions into an army-wide amplification aura, increasing morale, shield recovery, and Spirit resistance.]

Chen Chen tossed the blueprint to Luo Yunwei.

"You have your position."

Luo Yunwei caught it with both hands, and by the time she looked up, she had already recovered quickly.

"I will make sure everyone in this city who can make a sound, only makes sounds for you."

Yi Chang's projection popped up immediately.

"All propaganda, performances, and faith guidance projects must go through internal affairs approval."

Luo Yunwei answered quickly.

"Of course."

"The Deputy City Lord is responsible for the rules, and I am responsible for making people willing to follow them."

Yi Chang paused for a second.

"First, produce the execution plan."

Luo Yunwei did not back down.

"I will give it to you within ten minutes."

Jiang Jiuyou was watching the show from the side, her tone rarely carrying a hint of amusement.

"Interesting."

Jiang Yanxue wiped her blade and chuckled.

"This is more interesting than the fights in the Lower Deck."

Chen Chen opened the remaining scan of Luo Yunwei's convoy.

Out of more than thirty thousand people, only about seven hundred truly had technical tags.

The rest were mostly fanatical fans, accompanying personnel, speculators, and ordinary people dragging their families along.

"Shen Wanbing, filter them."

"Advanced technical artisans, equipment maintenance personnel, medical personnel, energy amplifier tower engineers, accept them."

"Take all supplies."

"For ordinary accompanying personnel, only give them a one-hour evacuation route and basic rations."

"Those who want to sneak in to freeload, do not accept."

Luo Yunwei looked up, not pleading for her fans.

"I can handle it."

Shen Wanxing couldn't help but look at her.

"You aren't saving them?"

Luo Yunwei turned her face, her voice steady.

"I cannot save thirty thousand people."

"I can leave useful people for the Lord."

Shen Wanxing hugged her pillow tightly and didn't say anything else.

Half an hour later.

Luo Yunwei's holographic projection appeared above the stage convoy.

She had changed into a black uniform jacket, and her torn long dress had been cut short, revealing a pair of straight, snow-white legs.

But when she spoke, there was none of the softness from the stage.

"Everyone listen up."

"Technical personnel, medical personnel, equipment engineering groups, board the ship immediately according to your numbers."

"The rest of the personnel, collect three days of rations and evacuate towards the south safety line."

The area below the convoy exploded instantly.

"Sister Yunwei! You don't want us anymore?"

"We are your fans!"

"We've followed you all the way!"

Luo Yunwei raised her hand.

Iron Wall's heavy machine gun in the back was placed directly on the platform.

She didn't raise her voice.

"I am the Lord's person now."

"This place does not support useless worship."

"If you want to live, get in line."

"If you want to make trouble, the machine gun will save me the words."

As these words fell, the crowd that had just gathered dispersed instantly.

Some cried, some cursed, but no one dared to cross the line again.

Iron Wall looked at the projection and clicked his tongue.

"This woman is truly ruthless."

Yi Chang watched the population diversion table and the speed of material entry, her fingertips resting on the data board.

Within ten minutes, Luo Yunwei had divided the convoy personnel into seven categories.

Available, Pending, Discard, Risk, Supplies, Equipment, Promotional Residual Value.

Every column was clearly written.

Yi Chang lifted her eyes.

"Have you managed this many people before?"

Luo Yunwei stood opposite her and smiled slightly.

"I used to manage fan emotions."

"When there are many people, it's more troublesome than mining slaves."

Jiang Jiuyou watched the two with her arms crossed.

Jiang Yanxue leaned to the side and laughed softly.

"Someone who knows how to steal work has arrived."

Yi Chang closed the data board.

"Here, people with low efficiency will be replaced."

Luo Yunwei replied quickly.

"Then I will try my best to ensure the Deputy City Lord has no chance to replace me."

The confrontation between the two had no gunpowder smell, but it made the Boss Lady's fox ears stand up.

"Can this betting pool be opened?"

Yi Chang and Luo Yunwei looked at her simultaneously.

The Boss Lady immediately hugged her abacus tightly.

"I'm joking."

At night.

The top floor of the City Lord Tower.

Chen Chen walked into the secret room with two Star Fortress scrolls.

The moment the first scroll and the second scroll were close, the isolation array on the table automatically lit up.

Shen Wanbing stood at the door.

"Fusion and interpretation will trigger fragments of the world's truth."

"I suggest only opening the outer layer."

Chen Chen nodded.

"No one is to be disturbed."

The door closed.

The secret room quieted down.

The two scrolls slowly joined together, and starlight began to flow along the fracture.

The system prompt had just popped up halfway —

Knock, knock.

The door was knocked on gently.

Chen Chen looked up.

"Who is it?"

Luo Yunwei's voice came from outside the door.

"Lord, it's me."

The door opened a crack.

Luo Yunwei stood outside, holding a late-night snack.

She had changed into an ice-silk deep-V nightdress, thin and form-fitting, with silver-white long hair hanging over her chest, snow-white shoulders and neck exposed under the light, long legs protruding from under the hem of the skirt, and ankles so thin they were dazzling.

"Enter."

Chen Chen leaned back on the sofa.

The door pushed open, and Luo Yunwei walked in.

The door closed quietly behind her.

The room lighting was dim, making the ice-silk deep-V nightdress she wore appear even more translucent.

The extremely smooth fabric clung to her perfect waist and hip curves, the V-neck in front was cut very deep, almost unable to contain those stunning snow-white curves, and her two long, fair legs alternated as she walked, appearing and disappearing.

She placed the tray on the table without stepping back.

"Lord, the remaining seven hundred technical personnel on the Lower Deck have all been grouped, and I have prepared the list."

Luo Yunwei leaned down and pushed the data board in front of Chen Chen.

The angle was chosen perfectly; as her neckline dipped slightly, the snow-white richness bumped directly into him.

A warm scent of roses immediately drilled into his nose.

Chen Chen looked at the data board without looking up.

Luo Yunwei didn't feel awkward.

She walked around the table, came behind Chen Chen, and gently placed her slightly cool hands on his shoulders.

"The slaughter during the day is too draining on the Spirit." Her fingers applied a little pressure, her voice soft and alluring, with a stickiness that made one's bones tingle,

"I learned a set of ancient massage techniques before the apocalypse, the pressure is just right, I can help you relax your muscles."

She stood very close, her breathing hitting Chen Chen's earlobe directly.

The two soft mounds on her chest delivered an extremely alluring sensation.

"Tell me if the pressure is too heavy."
