Chapter 212 Distributing Items
Back in the central computer room, El and Triss had a long conversation with Lilith, exchanging information. The three spatial pendants they gave to Li Chenglong had unlocked the first layer of locks. Later, in their communication with Lilith, they decided to set Yunlan and Li Chenglong as the first layer of bound persons, granting them the highest authority. The second layer of bound persons would be chosen by either Li Chenglong or Yunlan, and then registered with Lilith.
The spatial pendant not only has a large capacity, but the surrounding walls also emit light to illuminate the interior. Even better, it can project a display screen in real time, controlled by the user's voice, showing the inventory of various items inside. However, the spatial pendant also has a few drawbacks. First, unlike Li Chenglong's or Yun Lan's storage areas or Han Xiaoling's storage space, time inside the spatial pendant still flows, but at a very slow pace, about one-fifth of the speed outside.
The second drawback of the spatial pendant is that it must be worn by people with supernatural abilities or awakened individuals, because in order to maintain its function, it needs to absorb a portion of spiritual energy or supernatural energy. Although the amount is relatively small, it is indispensable.
Li Chenglong and Yun Lan carefully considered how to distribute the three spatial pendants. They knew they didn't need them, so they decided to give one to Yun Qian, who was in charge of the logistics department. With this pendant, management would be much easier. The second pendant was given to Shen Menghua; the light and heavy industrial zones were often plagued by transportation problems, making it a perfect fit. The third pendant was finally given to Qin Fangyu of the Dawn Army's logistics department. The logistics department would be accompanying the combat troops, and a spatial pendant with such a large capacity would greatly improve the troops' mobility.
Without hesitation, they contacted the three women and asked them to come to the central computer room. These three pendants were actually just the front ornaments; they lacked cords. Li Chenglong retrieved some exotic silkworm silk from the storage area of his psionic space and, while they were there, prepared to weave three cords. Cui Si found it interesting and also took some silk from Li Chenglong to weave. In no time, she had finished a beautiful cord. She even held it up to Yun Lan's neck, made some adjustments, and then took a pendant from Li Chenglong, stringing it through the small ring at the back.
By the time the three arrived, Li Chenglong had already finished his work. He first introduced them to each other, then took out three pendants and handed them to the three women, explaining their functions in detail. The three women were naturally very happy. Yun Qian excitedly said, "With this, I feel that our logistics department's ability to collect and process supplies can be improved by at least 30% to 40%." Shen Menghua also said, "This is a rare treasure; I will definitely keep it safe and use it well."
Qin Fangyu had recently been busy with work, so she started coming every two days instead of every day. Later, after Yunlan's persuasion, she agreed to hire a nanny. Shen Menghua introduced a professional nanny who had been taking excellent care of the little one these past few days. Furthermore, Li Chenglong's house had surveillance cameras, so they could check on the child anytime via their crystal phones. Qin Fangyu said, "With this, large-scale military operations will be so much more convenient, especially with heavy artillery and various inconveniently carried equipment. I can send them over using the spatial pendant."
After distributing the pendants, Li Chenglong activated and re-bound them via the main control computer. From then on, these three pendants belonged to their department. Around noon, Li Chenglong wanted the three of them to stay for lunch, but they all said they had work to do and left.
They ate lunch in the central computer room. The nanny had prepared the meal in advance, and Li Chenglong also ordered some food from the government canteen on the 5th floor and asked them to bring it up. Yunlan went home. She had initially planned to breastfeed for three months, but later, for the sake of the child, on Erica's advice, she decided to breastfeed for at least six months.
The nanny's name was Song Yixin, and she was 35 years old. She originally worked at a kindergarten in Shuguang City, but after Shen Menghua mentioned it to her, she happily accepted the job. Because Li Chenglong did many things himself, and Qin Fangyu sometimes helped out, her workload wasn't heavy; she only needed to take care of the child and cook meals. Even vegetables and fruits didn't need to be bought; Li Chenglong would put them in the refrigerator every morning for the day's use.
After dinner, Li Chenglong told them to rest in a lounge set up behind the central computer room. It had several beds and even a separate wet and dry bathroom for washing up. The central computer room was already too large; although it housed sixty or seventy mainframes and a dozen monitors of varying sizes, it didn't need that much space. So Li Chenglong made some minor modifications, setting up a rest area and a bathroom.
Wang Jie sometimes comes over to rest at noon, and sometimes she rests at Han Xiaoling's or Li Xue's place on the 7th floor. For convenience, Han Xiaoling even gave her a key, saying that her house was too big and she could stay wherever she wanted, even if she came over at night. However, Wang Jie and her sister Wang Xiao usually go home at night. They don't live that far, only three bus stops away from Shuguang City.
In the afternoon, Li Chenglong led Cui Si and her brother, El, on a tour of various parts of Dawn City. The siblings bought many small souvenirs and sampled various delicacies in the food street. As evening approached, the three arrived at the Special Forces Team. Following Li Chenglong's plan, the Special Forces Team had expanded from 20 to 50 members. The team leader was Yang Liu, the deputy leader was Wang Shuang, the instructor was Jiang Cheng, and the liaison officer was Dong Meng. The 50 members were divided into 20 formal Special Forces members and 50 reserve Special Forces members.
The special forces members were all either superhumans or awakened individuals; even the reserve members were all at level 4 or above. There were 35 women and 15 men. Li Chenglong and his siblings saw them training in the special forces compound as soon as they entered. Under the guidance of Yang Liu and a few others, they were behaving quite well.
Upon seeing Li Chenglong enter, Yang Liu immediately said, "All assemble! Attention!" The special forces soldiers quickly assembled and formed a line to receive Li Chenglong's inspection. Li Chenglong smiled and said, "It's alright, just relax. I just brought two friends to visit."
Only then did they notice that Li Chenglong had brought two other people with him, but they didn't seem to be normal people. Yang Liu looked at the brother and sister with a pair of wings and small horns on their heads and asked in surprise, "Captain Li, who are these?" Li Chenglong introduced them, "These two are our alien friends, and also my teacher's grandson and granddaughter. Don't let their age of twelve fool you, they are very strong."
The siblings greeted the special forces soldiers and then smiled at Li Chenglong, saying, "It's quite interesting watching the older brothers and sisters train. I'd like to spar with them. I wonder if that's possible? I'll only use one-tenth of my strength. No matter how many of you there are, it'll be fine."
Seeing that the young man was small in stature but spoke arrogantly, Yang Liu immediately said, "Captain Li, we are willing to accept." Seeing that both sides were willing, Li Chenglong said, "Alright then, Yang Liu, you select five of the strongest from the special forces team to fight against El. Remember not to hold back just because he looks young; he is very strong."
Yang Liu immediately formed a five-person team with Han Xiaoling, Wang Shuang, Dong Meng, and Jiang Cheng, and surrounded El. The other special forces members had already retreated, ready to enjoy the battle.
