Chapter 618 Sailing on the High Seas
Chapter 618 Sailing on the High Seas
He Chenguang reported the situation to Gao Shiwei with a serious expression.
Gao Shiwei sighed.
He knew that the organization Jiang Nian had joined was very mysterious. Even when Jiang Nian was video calling him from the organization's base, he couldn't pinpoint her location.
Gao Shiwei had originally thought that He Chenguang could follow Jiang Nian in Bharata, and if possible, find out the exact location of the organization Jiang Nian belonged to.
But now, the other party is sailing on the high seas. The ocean is so vast that Jiang Nian could go anywhere, and He Chenguang also has other missions on his shoulders.
On his cargo ship, there was still so much gold that Jiang Nian had specially sent back. If something were to happen to it at sea, it would truly be a loss.
After hesitating for a long time, Gao Shiwei had no choice but to give up and then asked He Chenguang to bring the gold back first.
While sailing at sea, Jiang Nian stayed in his room to rest.
On the return trip, Jiang Nian was the only one on the entire cruise ship who seemed to be of high status, so he had a lot of peace and quiet.
It was the same small island, and the same entrance. Jiang Nian saw that An Yi was already respectfully waiting for him at the door when he walked over.
After entering the steel gate, Jiang Nian saw An Yang sitting in the hall drinking red wine in the distance, with An Ying sitting next to him.
However, Dark Eagle didn't drink any alcohol; he was just fiddling with a wine glass in his hand, lost in thought.
Besides Dark Eagle and Dark Ocean, there was another person sitting next to them. The mask on this person's face told Jiang Nian that this must be another leader of the Shadow Organization.
Now, the three powerful figures are sitting in this hall, seemingly waiting for him.
Jiang Nian didn't think she had that much influence.
"You're back?" When Jiang Nian walked up to the three of them, An Yang put down his wine glass and said to Jiang Nian in a very enthusiastic tone.
"All the gold we acquired this time has been transported back."
His tone was flat, revealing no emotion. Jiang Nian sat down next to An Yang, now thankful that he hadn't rushed to remove his mask when he came in. Now, the mask proved useful, successfully concealing his face and expression.
"These are the blueprints you brought over earlier. We've already made our first sniper rifle based on these blueprints. Would you like to give it a try?"
An Yang laughed, seemingly unconcerned about the amount of gold. He simply pushed the sniper rifle on the table aside and then changed the subject to Jiang Nian.
The sniper rifle is finished!
Jiang Nian was not surprised at all by the news about the Dark Ocean.
After all, given the capabilities the Shadow Organization has demonstrated so far, obtaining blueprints, especially a disassembled blueprint, and making a sniper rifle would be no difficult task at all.
My trip to Bharata has lasted for more than a month. If I can't even make a sniper rifle, wouldn't that mean that the Shadow organization is too weak?
That is absolutely impossible.
"There's no need for a test shot. I know the blueprints I came up with myself, and there will absolutely be no problems."
Shaking his head, Jiang Nian rejected An Yang's suggestion.
He had no interest in testing the gun.
Jiang Nian had already tried out the sniper rifle that An Yi had brought over in the lab.
The sniper rifle modified by Jiang Nian has seen a significant improvement in all its specifications compared to before.
However, in that case, Jiang Nian would not be able to bring it up on his own initiative.
"What? You made this sniper rifle from the blueprints you modified yourself, but you don't even dare to test fire it. Are you afraid that we'll find out the flaws in your sniper rifle and discover that your skills aren't as good as the legends say?"
Dark Eagle said to Jiang Nian with a mocking tone.
The group of them were originally sitting here to wait for Jiang Nian so that he could test the sniper rifle.
Actually, Dark Hawk tested the sniper rifle as soon as it was made. It was because he tested it that he was somewhat incredulous at its power.
The prototype of this sniper rifle had already been made long ago.
At this moment, with the two sniper rifles placed side by side, after a stark comparison, Dark Eagle had to admit that Jiang Nian's talent in weapon research and design was indeed exceptionally high.
Even so, it is absolutely impossible to make Dark Eagle bow down to Jiang Nian.
But now, Jiang Nian directly refused, clearly slapping him in the face, which greatly displeased Dark Eagle. If he hadn't remembered the important matter, he would have already had Jiang Nian dragged away.
"I'm sure you've already experienced the power of a sniper rifle, so why would I need to test it again?"
Faced with Dark Eagle's mocking words, which even carried an angry tone, Jiang Nian remained much calmer. He picked up the wine glass on the table, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and then calmly said to Dark Eagle.
It was like punching an angry fist into a pane of glass, and the other side didn't react at all, which made Dark Hawk even angrier.
"Jiang Nian, don't think that just because you have An Yang protecting you, you can disregard me. After all, I am one of the three powerful figures. Even if I wanted to take your life right now, An Yang couldn't stop me."
This time, Dark Eagle was truly enraged by Jiang Nian. He spoke to Jiang Nian in a very irritable tone, stood up with a thud, pointed at Jiang Nian's mask, and seemed ready to attack at any moment.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became extremely awkward.
An Yang sat to the side drinking, seemingly oblivious to An Ying's words, remaining completely indifferent.
An Ye's expression changed slightly, but because he was wearing a mask, no one could tell that his expression had changed.
Before Jiang Nian could speak, An Ye stood up and slammed his hand hard on the table.
The wine glass on the table jolted, but An Yang quickly grabbed it. An Ying wasn't so lucky; his glass was knocked open, spilling wine all over him.
He was originally dressed in all black, and the red wine spilled on him shouldn't have been noticeable, but he was a germaphobe, so he immediately jumped up and down.
"Dark Night, what are you planning to do here?"
The finger was pointed directly at Dark Night. Dark Eagle felt that Dark Night was definitely doing it on purpose, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that a whole cup of wine was spilled on him?
"What are you doing? What are you doing? We're here to let Jiang Nian test the gun, not for you to lose your temper here. Even if you have a lot of complaints, you have to wait until Jiang Nian has finished testing the gun before you vent them."
Dark Eagle was furious, but Dark Night didn't back down either, lashing out at him in a very irritable manner.
Hearing the conversation between Dark Eagle and Dark Night, Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow. What was going on? Why did they insist on making him test the gun?
To put it bluntly, testing the gun is a minor matter, and it doesn't really concern me much. After all, my task is simply to develop and design the sniper rifle; what happens after that is none of my concern.
"My lords, please continue your discussion. I'll be leaving now."
Jiang Nian stood up, deciding he wasn't going to stay and drink any longer; the red wine tasted terrible. He declared he couldn't appreciate such high-class things.
After saying that, Jiang Nian turned and left.
Having lived here for so long, Jiang Nian was familiar with the general layout of the base, so he headed towards his room.
An Yang did not stop Jiang Nian from leaving. After Jiang Nian left, he put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked away leisurely.
Dark Eagle and Dark Night exchanged a glance, both seeing anger in each other's eyes.
"It's always like this. Can't you control your temper? You always ruin things."
Dark Night lashed out at Dark Eagle first.
They had already made preparations to take Jiang Nian to test the gun as soon as he returned.
But now that Dark Eagle has pulled this stunt, Jiang Nian went straight back to his room.
Although they were among those in power, they couldn't forcefully order Jiang Nian to test the gun. After all, if they took Jiang Nian to test the gun against his will, the final result might not be satisfactory.
"Heh, you're just a Monday morning quarterback. Now you're criticizing me. Why didn't you say anything before? I don't care, the test results for this sniper rifle aren't quite right. You have to find a way to get Jiang Nian to test it."
Dark Eagle merely sneered at Dark Night's attempt to shirk responsibility, and then his tone became less polite.
He grabbed the sniper rifle from the table, turned around, and walked out.
Watching Dark Eagle leave, a hint of helplessness flashed across Dark Night's eyes.
This guy talks a good game, but in the end he'll still dump this mess on me.
After Jiang Nian left, he naturally had no idea what happened next. As long as no one bothered him, he felt fine, so he simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
I don’t know if it’s because this place is not like the military region, but when we were at the Shadow Base, Jiang Nian’s sleep was never very good.
Even though he had spent so long on the cruise ship and was extremely exhausted, he still felt very light sleepy after lying down in bed.
Even when he's asleep, the slightest noise will instantly wake him up completely.
Jiang Nian had been lying in bed for less than half an hour when he heard soft footsteps. He was very familiar with this sound – An Yi always made this very soft sound when he walked.
What is An Yi doing standing at his room door right now?
The thought flashed through Jiang Nian's mind instantly.
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he simply sat up.
Jiang Nian got up and walked to the door. He pulled the door open and saw An Yi standing outside his room like a doorman.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang Nian!" An Yi seemed surprised to see Jiang Nian come out of the room before he greeted him respectfully.
It must be said that the robots within the Shadow Organization are designed with remarkable human-like ingenuity. Or perhaps it should be said that the intelligent systems within the Dark One are simply too sophisticated.
"Is there a problem?"
Jiang Nian asked with a stern face and an unfriendly tone.
“Mr. Jiang Nian, it’s like this. The master has invited you to the conference room; he’s waiting for you there.”
An Yi's attitude was very respectful, conveying An Yang's meaning word by word.
Earlier in the lobby, An Yang hadn't shown any particular reaction. After all, within this organization, An Yang was his direct superior. Jiang Nian thought carefully for a moment before speaking, "I understand. I'll go to the meeting room myself. You can go now."
After seeing An Yi off, Jiang Nian returned to his room and began to ponder the current situation.
He wanted to know what went wrong that made An Yang and the others insist on making him test the gun.
The key point is that the drawings provided by the system will absolutely not have any problems.
I didn't even make this sniper rifle, so why are these people acting like they're stalking me?
The fact that he has the ability to improve the performance of a sniper rifle by 30% is something that, apart from a very small number of people in the military, probably no one else knows.
So, does that mean someone within the Shadow Organization knows about this?
Besides that, Jiang Nian really couldn't understand why the other party insisted on having him test the gun.
An Yang's attitude has always been ambiguous, leaving people unsure of his intentions, which makes Jiang Nian a little confused about what he really wants.
People like Dark Eagle might be easier for Jiang Nian to deal with. But people like Dark Ocean, who are calm, expressionless, and impossible to guess or attack, are truly difficult to handle.
He went back to his room to sleep, and An Yang probably didn't know when he would come out. Did he expect An Yi to be waiting at the door because he knew An Yi wouldn't sleep well there? Or did he just want An Yi to wait there until he opened the door and saw An Yi?
The sound of An Yi's approaching footsteps made no attempt to conceal anything.
Jiang Nian's mind was working very fast.
Even if I'm really asleep, given my alertness, I'll still hear An Yi's voice.
Therefore, the only possible explanation is the first one—An Yang knows he can't sleep well here.
Regardless of how things turned out, during this trip to Bharata, An Yang ultimately gave Jiang Nian a huge amount of gold.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Jiang Nian still felt that he had to give An Yang face.
After making up his mind, Jiang Nian went straight to the conference room.
The conference room is exactly the same as when Jiang Nian first came here.
An Yang sat there quietly, his back to the door and facing a white wall, lost in thought. Even when Jiang Nian walked in, An Yang didn't react at all.
Jiang Nian didn't believe that with An Yang's abilities, he wouldn't have missed the sound of her coming in.
He didn't say anything, just pulled over a chair and sat down.
"When you come back this time, the sniper rifle you were working on has already been built. You have to test it. Just name your conditions."
After a long while, An Yang finally spoke. (End of Chapter)
