Chapter 991: Chapter 764: No Entry Allowed

New Moon City is a highly tech-savvy area.

The entire city is like a Rubik’s cube situated on Yunmei Star, but upon closer inspection, it’s actually the robust magnetic levitation technology that has combined countless buildings together.

Vibrant clouds swirl around, reflecting colorful rays of light and encircling the giant cube as if it were a mythical heavenly realm.

New Moon Auction, shaped like half an egg overturned on the ground, is a structure that doesn’t match its name in reality.

Moreover, it is not sitting in the soil, but rather suspended in mid-air along with a base below. In front of the New Moon Auction, there’s a huge aerial platform covered in green plants, adding a unique touch to the building.

A floating car swiftly travels through the dense floating lanes, quickly reaching the New Moon Platform.

“Gentlemen, we’ve arrived.”

A driver with a big head and small body, skin like a blade of grass, said with a smile.

White Hair nodded, stopping Mu Fan and Fatty from paying, casually swiping Hinchlo credit points for the fare, 177 points, plus a 50-point tip.

As the three stepped into the empty New Moon Square, White Hair said, “The currency here is the Hinchlo Business Alliance credit points, with an exchange rate of 1:3 to the Federation Star Coins.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan and Fatty exchanged glances, just feeling their hearts bleed, “The price level here is at least five times that of Blue Capital Star… We might really need your support when the time comes, I hope your families can understand. I will definitely pay it back!”

This time, Mu Fan spoke firmly because the registered Black Fire Weapons Company is the treasure basin in Mu Fan’s vision. As long as he can open the market, with the industrial standards of Shadow Island, he could definitely occupy a niche, and with the cash flow gathered, he wouldn’t be so strapped for cash.

White Hair grinned and said, “No problem, if my father knew his young master made such a profitable deal, he wouldn’t have time to laugh, why wouldn’t he understand.”

Just Mu Fan alone is worth investing in, not to mention the previous act of piloting the Thunderhawk and taking down the Tang family in front of a billion people, which added a Thunderhawk behind this investment target.

This is simply a major boon!

Fatty pounded his own chest, thumping loudly, Mu Fan’s business was his business. The bond between the two was such that the little Fatty would even mortgage his underwear.

Seeing his two companions showing no pretense, Mu Fan felt moved, took a deep breath, since he came here, he cannot return empty-handed.

No matter what, Sky Net Teeth, he must get it!

The three immediately hurry to the auction house. As there’s no invitation, they will use this as their breakthrough point.

Yin Shuai, born an heir to a conglomerate, is adept at these matters.

To force a path out of a desperate situation is the challenge people like them enjoy.

Mu Fan squinted his eyes, examining the structure with a height akin to the bone-faced insect beast from before, using a tiered design and multi-layer reflection to project natural light clearly onto the square, making it bright yet not hot.

“We split up, targeting staff, guards, and auctioneers from these three angles.”

White Hair made the decision after surveying the area, his experience here was the richest.

Mu Fan nodded, setting his sights on the shell building’s left side and walked directly towards it.

There, a quiet open passageway awaited, with a mechanical guard stationed at its entrance.

While halfway there, Black had already begun hacking into the New Moon City network of Yunmei Star. However, without any hardware resources to support it, and no longer having the superb Light Computer cluster gained from Dingchuan Academy as a foundation, Black’s calculation speed significantly slowed.

After all, it is only an intelligent life program, not a hardware computational collective.

“The compilation language of Yunmei Star’s network is completely different from that of the Galaxy Federation. It’s a program that normal humans could never write, some languages aren’t even in my database. Incorporating other species’ languages into the compilation program increased the decryption difficulty tenfold. The system’s developer is quite the oddball, akin to a cosmic species buffet.”

“If this is typical for the Hinchlo Business Alliance, I might need some time to officially crack it.”

“How long approximately?” Mu Fan asked softly, as he got closer to the mechanical guard.

“Twelve to twenty days… at least half a month!” Black gave a conservative estimate, then emphasized, “First, you need to find the data center for me.”

“No way,” Mu Fan directly refused.

“Then let’s use extreme measures, first attempt to interfere with the mechanical guard at a close distance, making a point breakthrough, let me control several routers first.”

Mu Fan agreed to this suggestion, then tried to walk into the entrance.

With a clack, the mechanical guard’s eyes lit up with blue light, stepping to the entryway when Mu Fan was still ten meters away.

Each step’s heavy pressuring sound allowed Mu Fan to clearly judge the mechanical guard’s weight, definitely not less than a ton!

This was something Mu Fan had never encountered in his experience, definitely not a simple mechanical guard.

“Identity verification failed, please state your identity.”

The heavy arm barred Mu Fan, the blue electronic eye projected a three-dimensional light screen, enveloping Mu Fan, then quickly spoke. Although the sound was mechanical, it was exceptionally smooth.

“I want to see your staff.”

“Verification failed,” the other party mechanically repeated, only the tone seemed more emphatic.

Mu Fan held his tongue, thought for a moment, and attempted to take a small step forward.

Thud!

The heavy ground trembled. The mechanical guard took a step before him.

This speed…

Mu Fan’s pupils involuntarily tightened.

So fast!

A powerful and heavy footstep locked down Mu Fan’s route.

And then the blue electron eye began to glow a dangerous red.

Mu Fan stopped, trying to slowly back up a step, then the other’s step retreated a step.

The two parties returned to this stalemate state.

“This AI robot isn’t in full-automatic mode, it has a visual acquisition function and is transmitting to somewhere, don’t make movements too obvious, get within 2 meters, best with physical contact, then inquire a few more times,” Black suggested its viewpoint. With sparse resources here, its local intrusion needed close proximity.

So Mu Fan attempted to take another small half-step, and the mechanical guard simultaneously stepped forward a small step, repeating: “Identity verification failed, please present membership proof or leave the New Moon Channel.”

Then Mu Fan maintained this position standing there.

“This is the New Moon Auction, the New Moon Channel is an internal channel not open to the public. Who are you?”

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a lanyard monocle walked out, square-faced with neatly trimmed mustache and the flat top hairstyle about a little finger high seemed to give him a stodgy look. At the passage entrance on the steps, he looked down and asked.

The gaze behind the monocle had a faint scrutiny.

Mu Fan didn’t rashly counter or trigger conflict like a naive boy but politely nodded and greeted, then asked, “I came from another planet because of its reputation. I want to participate in tomorrow’s auction, may I ask how to enter?”

The stodgy middle-aged man removed his lanyard monocle and looked at Mu Fan with a faint smile, coldly refusing:

“Membership invitation system is implemented here, uninvited guests are strictly prohibited from entering. Sir, please go back.”

For a business person, there wasn’t a bit of enthusiasm, and he answered decisively.

The mechanical guard simultaneously pressed forward slightly, enveloping Mu Fan’s figure in its bulky shadow.
