“Headquarters? Receptionist?”
Nnd Lee observed the holographic image through Magic Vision, his eyes slightly lighting up.
The virtual figure that appeared in Magic Vision—could it be the receptionist from Metal Creation Group Headquarters?
This was quite the coincidence.
Nnd Lee shifted his gaze toward the spaceship’s control console.
...
After the bone-materialized fingernail was inserted into the slot of the control console, the console automatically activated its holographic projection function and establishedmunication with Metal Creation Group Headquarters.
This indicated that the bone-materialized fingernail was an integrated plugin with encryptedmunication capabilities, readable by devices with interstermunication functions.
But whether such a small and exquisite object could be used by him was another question.
For instance, using Passive Deconstruction Technique to ess itsmunication channel and encryption method, then breaking into the Metal Creation Group Headquarters’ local areawork.
At that thought, Nnd Lee suddenly realized he had a critical shoring.
He didn’t understandputers!
To be precise, he didn’t understand the information technology of this era.
Even if he managed to acquire the encrypted information within the fingernail, he wouldn’t be able to break through the targetwork’s firewall, simply because he hadn’t mastered any hacking techniques…
What to do now?
Should he find some yers knowledgeable in hacking to assist him?
“If only I could trante this problem in the field of information technology into a problem within the realm of magic…”
Nnd Lee pondered while remaining focused on Magic Vision.
The bone material seemed to have had quite a few interactions with the receptionist.
After the receptionist appeared, the bone material spoke in a tone filled with resentment:
“My king might have been deceived, overestimating the abilities of yourpany. It was just a box of bone material sent out from the Staff Tip ck Hole, and yet you managed to lose it.”
The receptionist, in the form of a white silhouette, responded calmly and politely in a female voice:
“We deeply apologize for this unpleasant experience you’ve had, and we will do our utmost topensate for your loss. May I ask if you are currently in Mach’s Trusted Star System? Have you personally used a Deep Space Scanner to scan for the vacuum bubble safe’s spatial signal?”
“Nonsense!”
The bone material lowered its voice and barked angrily:
“I’m certain there is no spatial signal from any vacuum bubble safe here! Those idiots upying Mach’s Trusted Star System must have transported the safe away!”
“We regret your unforeseen loss. Please wait patiently for our response. Within three days at thetest, we will provide you with a detailedpensation n.”
The receptionist spoke unhurriedly.
The bone material interrupted the other party coldly:
“Enough! Time and again, you dy thepensation owed to us! Is this how Metal Creation Group treats its VIPs? We demand an equivalent amount of bone material aspensation, and we want it now!”
The receptionist paused for a few seconds, then spoke again:
“We have received your suggestion. We are seriously considering apensation n tailored to you. Considering that you chose Mach’s Trusted Star System as the delivery destination for the vacuum bubble safe, we might slightly adjust the quantity of materials in thepensation n.”
The Vacuum Bubble Emitter had sent the safe, and its destination was determined by the Tomb King.
It was the Tomb King who chose to set the delivery location in the chaotic Mach’s Trusted Star System—not the Metal Creation Group.
In this incident, Metal Creation Group merely yed the role of a logisticspany, coordinating in Outer Space.
As for why the Tomb King chose Mach’s Trusted Star System as the delivery destination…
Well…
That’s a question up for interpretation.
The Tomb King’s reasoning was unbeknownst to Metal Creation Group.
But from Metal Creation Group’s perspective, if the other party deliberately chose a chaotic area as the destination while purchasing thepany’s Special VIP logistics service, they were likely trying to set up thepany for a fall.
Didn’t the bone material im that the safe was missing?
Could it be possible that the Tomb King’s people conspired with the Star Thieves of Mach’s Trusted Star System, took the safe first, destroyed Metal Creation Group’s satellites and Synthetic Engineers, and then aimed to extortpensation from the Group?
Such a series of actions was entirely feasible.
The members hidden behind the receptionist at headquarters had also taken this into consideration, which is why they instructed the receptionist to mention the possibility of “slightly lowering the quantity ofpensation materials.”
Of course, the bone material would not ept the other party’s statement.
The objects weren’t lost by him, so why shouldn’t he receive fullpensation?
A verbal spat was on the verge of breaking out, engulfing the spaceship’s cockpit.
Seeing that the two would not conclude theirmunication anytime soon, Nnd Lee diverted a part of his attention to the “Heart of Magic.”
“Search for magic simr to hacking techniques.”
Nnd Lee inquired inwardly.
A secondter, “Heart of Magic” responded through System Text:
[Your description is too vague. Please specify your question.]
Nnd Lee pondered over the characters, then mentally sent out another message:
“I have discovered amunication plugin with amunication identification code and channel encryption key. I want to listen in on the encryptedmunication channel based on the information recorded on thismunication plugin, or even find the other end of themunication channel’s spatial coordinates in the Material World. Is there any spell that can help me achieve this?”
After this message was sent, nearly half a minute passed before “Heart of Magic” gave a reply:
[It is rmended tobine Magic Messenger with the casting of the ‘Magic Web Dao’ spell.]
