Chapter 133: The Fairy’s Lair
Letting “Wang Tianxian” directly show off her “creative ability”... is not possible just yet.
She first needs to lose some weight.
Having skin like congealed fat is a blessing, but if that fat is stored in barrels, that won’t do.
After the hand-to-hand combat, Boss Li took the “Jing Jinji” trio to one of his private training centers—a newly acquired place, not even half a month under his belt, now filled with all sorts of equipment.
Outside the training center, a wall was built, and a rubber running track was being laid, making it convenient for jogging.
“First, get rid of the double chin. Over there is a vocal room prepared for you to practice new songs. You don’t need to sing perfectly, just put your heart into it.”
“‘Remember’?”
“Take your time practicing.”
Li Jie wasn’t keen on staying with the masochistic “Wang Tianxian.” She was always begging for punishment and humiliation—what if she ended up completely wrecked?
She had to learn to control herself, so today, accompanying “Wang Tianxian” wasn’t Jing Wanqiu or Jin Momo, but Su Mengyao.
Mengyao sat nearby, eating fruit and supervising Wang Tianxian’s weight loss and singing practice, while casually chatting.
Meanwhile, Boss Li was busy writing code, having rented an AI coding assistant from Jianye University in the neighboring district for a month, which saved him a lot of trouble.
The progress on modifying the hybrid motorcycle was excellent; only the last part remained—obstacle detection and automatic avoidance during low-altitude flight.
The sensor suite existed in plenty on the market, but these were designed for cars. High-end vehicles constantly avoided skyscrapers, for example.
Besides, high-end LiDAR systems were not sold separately—you either had to be the manufacturer or buy a whole vehicle to dismantle.
Buying parts separately was even more expensive than original factory parts.
To tackle this, Boss Li had established a “Wu Di” brand motorcycle shop that didn’t operate publicly but made periodic orders to the manufacturer to keep things smooth.
Selling motorcycle parts was a reasonable cover.
Next steps were to write “radar ground-penetrating data code” and “radar simulation data code” by himself.
There were ready-made options on the market, but as always, with a three-billion budget, he could open a military industry company in the Japanese-controlled zone and have no worries.
Even though Sanjiang Industrial University in the neighboring district had a dedicated research institute for sonar and radar with plenty of results, could Boss Li just casually get his hands on them?
Not a chance.
So, he had to rely on himself and simultaneously strengthen the AI dog system’s smart brain.
【Reward for filming “Apocalypse Guard”: Talent skills used during filming can be purchased.】
【Reputation shop is now open.】
【Available talent skills include: Sniper skills (intermediate), rapid-fire skills (intermediate), encapsulation technology for a high-explosive six-crystal configuration explosive (beginner), synthesis technology for a high-temperature resistant alloy (beginner), enrichment technology for marine cobalt compounds (beginner)...】
Boss Li had no interest in sniper rifles or pistols, but that explosive with a detonation velocity of 9,500 meters per second caught his eye.
Though only beginner level, it indicated the ability to encapsulate it in a lab environment without blowing oneself up.
According to the details, just 0.2 grams could turn “Tianwai Feixian” into a scattering of petals.
Perfect.
He didn’t plan to go around blowing things up because among the six crystal configurations, only two were less sensitive; without proper equipment, it would self-destruct. So, he set that aside for now.
But the “synthesis technology for a high-temperature resistant alloy” was a gem.
Electric furnaces were cheap, and as long as there was electricity, the rest was just stirring.
If stirring alone didn’t work, add some reducing agents and stir again; if still no progress, find a catalyst, add it, and stir some more...
Of course, if the equipment cost was too high, that’d bring him back to square one: “Hairy Crab Industry”—initiate!
Besides that, the “enrichment technology for marine cobalt compounds” was also excellent. With this, he could upgrade the alloy synthesis technology from lab-scale to small-batch trial production.
Cobalt-based alloys were valuable—they could make the motorcycle fly higher and faster.
To truly achieve “individual soldier atmospheric entry,” aside from outsourcing the high-temperature insulating tiles, he had to rely on cobalt-based alloys to perform.
To be fair, the AI dog system was thoughtful; each technology was worth hundreds of billions, but Boss Li could only watch helplessly. Without money, he had to play with the less sophisticated stuff first.

Especially when the digital controller was interfered with, it had to quickly switch to conventional automatic mode, allowing manual operation to take over.
These were small safety measures needed during automatic cruise or low-altitude hovering modes when interference occurred.
In the vocal room, “Wang Tianxian” was earnestly learning from Su Mengyao.
“Sister Shiyin, listen to me, don’t rush to lose weight. As the old saying goes, lose your chest first; Brother Jie likes that the most.”
Mengyao spoke from experience, “You’re at your best now, so aim to seize the moment!”
“Mm, mm, mm...” Wang Tianxian nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking rice, but she was a bit puzzled. “Mengyao, don’t you mind?”
“Why should I? As long as Brother Jie still protects me, I don’t care how many he protects. Besides, Brother Jie... well, let’s not talk about that now. Once you have slept with Brother Jie, you’ll understand what I mean.”
Thinking of her aunt’s current ‘work one day, rest one day’ state, Mengyao felt that having another Jing Shengnan around was no big deal.
Gan Xingzhu, wearing headphones and watching dramas nearby, stayed out of the conversation, but when Su Mengyao asked for her work experience, she obediently described her working environment.
Wang Tianxian was stunned.
Wow, so intense?
I like it!
So far, the only macho man who could dominate her was thought to be married, so it would be difficult to steal him away. But now, everyone was “patients” together...
No problem then.
“Sister Shiyin, just pretend for now. Brother Jie told you to practice singing first, so focus on that. You can slack off on training secretly and eat and drink as you please—extend your advantage day by day. Listen, Brother Jie absolutely hates ‘skinny bones.’ He won’t even look at someone with no meat on their body.”
Patting Jing Shengnan’s belly admiringly, Mengyao praised, “Having some flesh is best. Brother Jie is the most faithful man.”
“...” Gan Xingzhu didn’t want to speak, silently putting on her headphones to keep watching her drama.
Recently, she found “Black Cat Hero Police” quite captivating. When she played “Little White Cat,” she didn’t feel much, but now immersed in the story, she had a secret thrill: Could she really get this kind of benefit every other day?
Awesome!
But “Little White Cat” now felt a bit anxious—if she hadn’t gotten pregnant yet, maybe she should work overtime?
The “work one day, rest one day” schedule had its pros and cons.
Especially for a woman like “Wang Tianxian,” who was far from simple.
Fighting against such a bad woman was incredibly stressful, meow~~
When Li Jie finished the last section of the tiltrotor’s balancing strategy code, an hour had passed, and “Wang Tianxian” came out in time to suggest a break.
“Miss.” “Sister.”
Jing Wanqiu and Jin Momo were particularly worried their young lady was being led astray by Su Mengyao, though Mengyao seemed harmless...
“This song will definitely be a hit!”
With confidence, “Wang Tianxian” ran over to Li Jie, who was assembling the group, and asked, “Boss Li, Boss Li, what do you think of the ‘riding position’?”
“I think of your mother. Get lost.”
“You’re so rough when you curse...” Jing Shengnan immediately wore a hurt and aggrieved expression, but in just 0.02 seconds, she looked at Li Jie tenderly, “But I really like it...”
“...”
Li Jie was utterly speechless, frowning as he said, “Teacher Wang, you’d better sing this ‘Remember’ well. Once it takes off, I’ll produce an album for you!”
“But I’m so upset right now...”
Wang Tianxian, all itchy and restless, ran her hands over Li Jie’s muscles, “If Teacher Li doesn’t personally point out where I lack... how am I supposed to land this shot...”
Her fingers slowly slid down, teasing Li Jie as if releasing her nature, biting her lower lip and staring blankly into his eyes, softly whispering into his ear with a bubbly voice, “This shot is so hard to make, Teacher Li...”
“...”
No need to think—it had to be Mengyao stirring up mischief.
Jing Wanqiu and Jin Momo wore dark faces, unsure what to say, but since they no longer had social security or housing funds, they didn’t care about reporting it.
Now that the young lady was earning and supporting the household, they all obeyed her.
Jin Momo quietly asked Jing Wanqiu, “Wanqiu, sis... are we just being used?”
“Actually, Momo, you should worry about yourself.”
“Huh? Why should I worry?”
Jin Momo looked baffled.
“Maybe the young lady will bring you along too?”
“...”
“After all, you’re the proper chambermaid.”
“You’re the maid!”
Jin Momo glared at Jing Wanqiu and suddenly remembered her own role: she had wanted to break free and become an independent modern woman, but after years of path dependence, she was always ready as a dowry. Changing now was too late.
So Jin Momo stood up, decisively headed to the vocal room, and called “Little White Cat” over for a chat.
Snap!
Opening her wallet, she pulled out a thousand yuan and handed it to Gan Xingzhu, “Xingzhu, I want to ask you some questions!”
“Yay~~”
Without hesitation, Gan Xingzhu accepted the money, crossed her arms proudly, and asked, “Ask away. If I know, I’ll definitely tell you!”
Jin Momo blushed and leaned close to Gan Xingzhu to ask quietly.
“Wow!”
Jin Momo’s eyes widened, then she leaned in again with another question.
“Ohhh, so that’s how it is... Mm-hmm, got it, got it...”
Jin Momo nodded repeatedly, studying seriously. She was preparing herself psychologically—if anything happened, at least she’d be ready.
After Jin Momo left with a look of satisfaction, “Little White Cat” obediently split the thousand yuan into three hundred and seven hundred.
The seven hundred had to be handed over, meow~~
Su Mengyao counted the seven hundred, nodded approvingly, then pulled out a bill and handed it to “Little White Cat,” “This hundred is a reward for being obedient.”
Yay~~
Then another bill, “This one is for being sensible.”
So good!!
Then another bill, again to “Little White Cat,” “Take this and buy yourself some snacks.”
Awesome!!!
The little kitty loved snacks!
Today, she caught sixteen big crucian carps in a row, fishing all afternoon—what a thrill, setting a personal record!
