Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 645: Section 641 - A One-Man Trade Show

Old Shen had never imagined that his daughter would lead a team to Cangqiong Star to talk business, and that little rascal Chen Fei would actually have the guts to follow her there, like an unshakable shadow!

"You must have flown over, right?"

Shen Fei forcefully hung up on her grumbling father.

But when she took out her own phone to look, her face fell again; this unreliable thing still didn't have a network signal.

"Little Chen, could I borrow your phone for a bit?"

With the network signal interrupted, anyone would want to handle many communication-related matters, even the big boss, Louis Landon, couldn't help but cast aside his pride and ask others for help.

After all, it seemed that Chen Fei's phone was the only one capable of making outside contact.

"Yours doesn't work?"

Chen Fei asked with confusion.

His phone was a customized satellite phone given by Boss Hana, supporting a wide range of signal frequencies. It could normally connect to terrestrial signal sources and be used like a regular phone. If there were no terrestrial communication base stations, it could also link directly to satellites in space, astonishingly powerful.

"Take a look at mine."

Shen Fei stuffed her phone into Chen Fei's hand.

"There is a signal, isn't there?"

The moment he took it, Teacher Shen's phone signal was at full bars; Chen Fei showed the screen to her.

Adam: Detected network device, now connected!

Shen Fei was somewhat incredulous as she took back her phone.

As soon as it changed hands, the signal was lost again.

Adam: Network device has been disconnected!

"Hey? It's, it's gone again!"

Teacher Shen: Phone, write a ten thousand-word self-criticism!

Phone: Is it my fault?

"How could it be? Wasn't it working fine in my hands?"

Chen Fei once again took Shen Fei's phone and dialed his own number.

As expected, the call went through with a ringing tone, undeniably connected to a signal.

When Shen Fei dialed herself, there was no network, the call couldn't go through, and she exclaimed in frustration, "Chen Fei, have you turned into a signal tower or something?"

Chen Fei's phone had a signal when in someone else's hands, and others' phones had a signal when in his hand, but as soon as they were taken back, the signal disappeared. Could it really be the phone's fault?!

Then there was only one truth, Chen Fei himself was the source of the signal.

"'Adam,' what's going on here?"

Chen Fei seemed to speak to himself.

Adam: Dog System is ISP (Internet Service Provider).

"Adam" couldn't find the cause, and naturally blamed it on the Dog System. According to its own logic, it couldn't reason out the issue without encountering a BUG because it simply wasn't scientific; it only needed to be used, that was all.

Chen Fei asked again, "Can you open it up to other devices?"

Everyone, including Shen Fei, Louis Landon, and the chief bodyguard Riva, was looking at him; this was incredibly important.

So many people urgently needed to contact the outside world, relying solely on Chen Fei's phone was insufficient.

Adam: Yes, you can fully open it, or would you prefer restricted authorization?

"Of course, open it, no, better make it restricted authorization!"

Chen Fei didn't want those inexplicable folks freeloading off his network, promptly correcting himself.

Adam: Please specify the relevant devices.

Louis Landon's eyes lit up, Chen Fei's muttering appeared to be a conversation with an Artificial Intelligence AI.

The AI's name was "Adam," which sounded somewhat familiar.

"Teacher Shen, your phone."

Chen Fei once again took Shen Fei's phone to complete the authorization confirmation.

Handing it back, the phone still maintained the best full bar signal.

"It really works now!"

Shen Fei cautiously opened her text messages and, sure enough, received new ones.

When she opened other internet-dependent apps, they also worked normally.

"Please, help me!"

Louis Landon handed over his mobile phone without hesitation.

He had planned to borrow Chen Fei's phone, but to use someone else's account to communicate or to log into his personal account would be somewhat awkward, even if it didn't arouse suspicion.

Chen Fei, authorization confirmed!

Another mobile phone was activated, followed by Chief Bodyguard Riva.

"It's working!"

After trying to call the Blue Star side, Louis Landon let out a long sigh of relief.

Managing the vast Louis Industrial Company among other enterprises, he could hardly spare a moment, and suddenly losing contact with the outside world could easily trigger many problems.

This time, Chen Fei really did him a big favor.

Taking advantage of the vendors' teams being busy rearranging the hotel conference center's exhibition booths, Chen Fei restored network signals for everyone's mobile phones, and various calls were made.

In such a crucial situation, being able to restore communication is truly life-saving, both publicly and privately!

However, even with the designated authorization allowing the sharing of the "Plane Communication System" skill's signal source, there were still limitations; the signal coverage was only 5 kilometers in radius, and leaving this distance would result in the loss of the signal, plummeting back into disconnection.

In addition, it could only connect to communication devices outside of Zhai Liuzhou, as the entire Zilu Continent's wireless signal network had been subjected to full-spectrum blocking, making it impossible for Chen Fei's "Plane Communication System" skill to break through the interference.

There was only one visitor, and time was pressing, so it was inevitable that the vendors' booths were a bit messy and unable to be further tidied up. Some trash was scattered on the ground, and only the products limited to this exhibition were displayed while other promotional materials remained in their respective Space System Alchemy Storage Devices.

All vendor representatives were rubbing their hands eagerly looking at Chen Fei, who intended to freeload, yet they agreed gladly. What kind of world was this?

Of course, it was a chaotic world!

The best showcase is actual combat, especially high-intensity confrontations. If someone dared to enter the battlefield, the vendors certainly wouldn't mind the cost of some samples.

Chen Fei had a thick stack of catalogs in his hand, and at every booth, a person was assigned to introduce him to the products, and it was okay even if he took everything on display.

There was almost no chance for the boss of Louis Industries, Mr. Louis Landon, to foot the bill, as Shen Fei had obtained formal authorization from the headquarters of Northern Weapons Industry Group to provide Chen Fei with all available tactical equipment for free. After all, this wasn't the first time they collaborated, and with a relatively high level of trust, authorization was given swiftly and decisively without much hesitation.

With Northern Weapons Industry Group setting an example, other vendors followed suit, generously allowing him to take whatever he wanted.

If the Rebel Army got their hands on these items, it would be like casting pearls before swine; it was better to give them to Chen Fei for free so that they could be put to the best use. They were willing to give because someone was willing to use them.

"I'll take this one, and this one..."

Chen Fei was not at all polite; his space series alchemy storage magical artifact had such a large capacity that even if he packed up all the exhibits from the conference center, it could accommodate them.

The main battle armors from the Rhein Company could be turned into remote-controlled big toys with artificial intelligence AI operation, impervious to death—the kind of cannon fodder that was a must-have.

The humanoid combat mechs from the Tesla Robotics Company numbered exactly a dozen, a very standard tactical squad, equipped with both light and heavy weapons, with clear division of tasks for long-range sniping, close combat, and medium-range mortars. Unfortunately, the control AI was a "Cybertrom" high-performance derivative loaded with combat modules. It wasn't structured like "Adam," and even after its local computational power had been enhanced, it still partially depended on cloud support and remote command assistance, inherently limiting its autonomy. The battlefield conditions were complex and rapidly changing, and with Chen Fei as the sole person in charge, there simply wasn't spare energy to command such a mech tactical squad, and he didn't trust anyone else with the task, either.

So, he simply took a "Universal Data Transceiver," gave it a smack, and forcibly wiped the "Cybertrom" high-performance derivative system clean, installing a basic platform system instead, set up a virtual machine, and then uploaded a copy of the artificial intelligence AI "Adam." Not only was the autonomy significantly improved and the dependency on network signals reduced, it didn't even fear losing connection—saving trouble and providing peace of mind.

Perfect!

When the technicians from the Tesla Robotics Company realized what Chen Fei was doing as soon as he plugged in the data cable, their faces looked like they had just been slapped hard.

Accompanying Teacher Shen indicated that Chen Xiao'er's victim wasn't the first to be tormented by his meddlesome ways. There were others who had it worse, with whole research and development teams getting kicked into a ditch from which they couldn't climb out.

Although the Northern Weapons Industry Group could provide two "Canglong" advanced fighters, considering that the upcoming actions would likely be focused on ground warfare, fighters were sharp and ammunition was not lacking, but they were more suited for offensive operations than defense. Hit-and-run tactics didn't hold much significance.

However, just in case, he took one anyway. A lack of a takeoff and landing runway wasn't a problem; anywhere with two to three hundred meters of a wide four-lane road, clean and neat, was sufficient for takeoff and landing. If the magic array was activated, it could even achieve vertical takeoff and landing, strictly following the design scheme originally provided by Chen Fei, only with many improvements on small details. It looked like the "Canglong" project team had been pushed over and resigned to their fate.

After some selective picking, Chen Fei added more than a dozen tactical pieces of equipment to his bracelet-type spatial alchemy storage magical artifact, not only for his own use but also for the three teams handed over by Mr. Louis Landon. He had successfully contacted the intelligence squad and obtained the latest intelligence.

As expected, large forces of the rebel army began to gather near the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation on the outskirts of Nandu City, plotting evil schemes.

"Is this... also a combat weapon?"

Chen Fei pointed to the mechanical dragon in the center of the exhibition hall, which stood seven meters tall and was infused with an industrial punk style from snout to tail to wings. With claws on the ground and wings spread, it struck a posture ready to pounce.

Looking at the manufacturer's LOGO, it turned out to be a product of the Louis Industrial Company.

Yilan was circling this big guy, hesitating whether to take a bite; it looked very tasty.

"This is a concept design for a Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor, which primarily relies on AI automated control, while also featuring an integrated man-machine cockpit and a high-efficiency crystal energy furnace..."

A salesperson from the tactical weapons department of Louis Industries handed over a promotional flyer to Chen Fei, and started to introduce it with a barrage of words.

That's the leading giant of the industry for you—not short of talent, money, or technology, with solid strength and everything else they need to indulge in grand luxuries. They claimed the best spot in the conference center for such a showpiece, its ostentatious purpose far outweighing its practical use.

Since it was a concept design and not for sale, the promotional material was full of praise, making it sound as though it could really contend with a dragon.

"Genuine Fragrance…" Yilan seemed greedy as she sized up the mechanical dragon.
