"Was the land bought?"
"Yes, the agreement was signed last night. It's located north of Lake Michigan, near Indiana, a secluded location that would be ideal as a base."
"Tell Barry everything is arranged and I'll be there this afternoon."
Chapter 1487 Immortality
The spring night was fleeting, and after everyone had settled down, Xu Fu reluctantly got out of bed at Diana's insistence. By the time he had washed his face and Diana had dressed and was ready to leave, the room was already filled with...
"Where are you going?"
“Let’s go back to the museum. I haven’t worked for two months and there are still a lot of artifacts to deal with.”
"Wait a moment, I'll take you there."
You don't have to do that.
Diane smiled and shook her head. "It's best not to make our relationship public until we've resolved Linda and Carol's issues."
Xu Fu felt a warmth in his heart, an indescribable sense of happiness. He walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her firm waist.
Extend your left hand.
Diana was at a loss for what to do, so she had no choice but to agree to his request. Xu Fu then produced a beautifully shaped platinum ring engraved with mysterious symbols, as if by magic.
"What kind of high-tech is this?"
"It's not high-tech, it's just a ring, which I made myself."
Xu Fu took her left hand and put the ring on her middle finger. "The symbols on it are ancient magic spells, symbolizing eternal life. The frosted lines are our names engraved with a photolithography machine. Guess how many there are?"
Diana forced herself to tremble with excitement: "How much?"
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine"
Xu Fu smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Add 890 to you and me, and that makes ten thousand."
Diana could no longer hold back; it felt as if she had no bones left in her body. Xu Fu stopped her and led her towards the bedroom.
"No, I have to go to work."
"Let them wait, you're not going anywhere today."
...
The next morning, Diana reluctantly left the hotel. On her way back, she continued to examine the ring, occasionally raising the corners of her mouth. She went to the museum as before, but her eyes were only on the ring, and she could not see anything else. She was so focused on her work that she did not even notice the person in front of her until they were face to face.
"Barbara?"
"You...are very good."
Barbara Minerva rubbed her sore arms and couldn't help but complain, "I didn't expect you to be so strong."
"This is a subconscious reaction."
Diana helped her best friend up: "Why are you standing in front of me without saying a word?"
I called you twice, but you ignored me.
As he spoke, he squinted at the platinum ring on Diana's left hand and rubbed his eyes.
"What a beautiful ring, such an exquisite design, it's so cute!"
I also think it's beautiful.
Diana happily held up her fingers to check, but seeing her friend's outstretched hand, she quickly withdrew her fingers, and then...
"It's time to get to work."
Barbara was unwilling to give up so easily, and chased after him in her high heels: "Let me see, just one look, just one look."
"No"
"Then tell me who sent him."
I bought it myself.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Who would buy themselves a ring?"
Diana paused, then chuckled softly, "I will."
As soon as she finished speaking, she gracefully walked up to the second floor. Her beautiful figure attracted the attention of a group of employees, who all cast sidelong glances at her. In the end, they could only sigh helplessly. Beauty is good, but it doesn't belong to them.
Barbara stamped her foot in frustration, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes, and turned her gaze to the people around her.
Compared to the beautiful, elegant, and stunning Diana, she was like an unkempt ugly duckling who, even in the most expensive gowns and with the most exquisite makeup, could not attract the attention of the opposite sex.
Whether she was a child or an adult, she was indispensable.
A flicker of resentment crossed her mind. Barbara clenched her fists and muttered to herself.
"Diana, I really want to be like you."
...
In northern Indiana, in a mountainous region near a lake.
With the signing of the purchase agreement, the Justice League will be based within a 25-kilometer radius of Xu Fu's land.
When Xu Fu arrived, Barry was leading a team of engineers to cut down trees in the mountains.
"Boss, you're finally here! I've been so busy these past few days!"
Xu Fu looked around, nodded, and surveyed his surroundings.
"The scenery is beautiful. It's a secluded place with canyons, rivers, and hills. We'll hollow out the rocks there and build an underground base."
Barry remarked, "This is the place I personally chose. Clark and everyone else think it's great, but there are some issues that can't be resolved."
"Any questions?"
Barry turned around and said in a low voice.
“Surface buildings can be handled by construction teams, but what about underground buildings? I’m worried about information leaks.”
"Just sign a confidentiality agreement."
"There's no way around it. Underground bases are too much trouble. The workers will definitely find problems, and I don't want this to become headline news."
"what do you say?"
Barry hesitated for a moment, "Could we manufacture a batch of construction robots?"
Xu Fu thought for a few seconds and then slowly nodded.
“Construction robots alone are not enough; we also need demolition workers, excavators, and 3D printers.”
Barry wanted to know: "What is a 3D printer?"
"The new technology of replacing traditional housing construction with 3D printing technology can be dozens of times faster."
"really?"
You'll find out in a month.
Xu Fu circled around several times, modifying the design according to the terrain, until it was perfect before leaving. The base was naturally left to Barry, as he was the only one in the team who had the time.
For the next two weeks, Xu Fu worked at the Deep Sea Factory in the eastern part of the metropolis, creating construction robots and designing 3D printers for Linda and Carol....
To be honest, it's difficult.
Everything is now public; there's no way to lie to one side and hide to the other. To be a master of time management and keep the main flag flying high while the secondary flags are flying low, the only way is to move forward together.
In terms of difficulty, it is comparable to climbing Mount Everest. Hard work alone is not enough; opportunity and luck are also required.
Xu Fu lacked luck; he lacked opportunity.
...
OAStar, Green Lantern Corps.
Hal Jordan, blinded by rage, ignored the guards' attempts to stop him and stormed into the headquarters lobby, yelling at Kigvor, who was examining information about the "meteorite."
"The spacetime nodes near the solar system were prepared by you."
Kiergefoe nodded: "To be precise, it's for Senesto."
You need to use the Earth as bait to lure him in.
"Yes"
Kiefer did not defend himself, but answered directly: "This is the Guardian's decision, and it is also the best way to capture Senesto."
Hal angrily said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to Earth if a great war broke out? Billions of people might die there."
“I understand your concerns, but…” He changed the subject, his tone becoming extremely serious, “We did nothing wrong. Sinestro will definitely go to Earth. These spacetime nodes can prevent unexpected situations from happening and protect Earth’s inhabitants as much as possible.”
Hal suddenly stood up.
"How many times have I told you, Parallax is not on Earth, not on Earth, why don't you believe me?"
Kigvar took a few steps forward, stroked Hal's head, and then...
"This is the Guardian's decision, not my will. The Central Intelligence Agency has the latest information on Seneca. Go and take a look; you'll understand after you've read it."
