Chapter 1836 - 943: Coast Announcement_2

"Sorry, sorry, moved too much stuff and got confused."

"It's okay, it's okay, go ahead and be busy." Lu Ling patted her belongings, ensuring her phone was still there before smiling again and waving goodbye.

She watched as the grateful employee walked away.

Amidst the crowds, under the scorching sun, the employee sweated profusely, changed outfits after rounding a corner, and walked into the hotel hosting exhibitors in New Spring.

The hallway was bustling with people frequently transporting various equipment back and forth.

He knocked on a door and slipped in through the crack, breathing heavily.

"What's going on, Ahyong?"

The man in the room glanced at his tense expression with caution: "Weren't you supposed to blend into the venue? Did something happen?"

"No, no, Brother Huang, rest assured, it's nothing, just a bit off."

Li Yong wiped his cold sweat and instinctively lowered his voice: "There are a lot of new security measures, besides identification tags, some places require iris and fingerprint verification. If I weren't part of the Vortex System, I might have been exposed!"

"What did you expect?"

Huang Ming sneered: "With an exhibition of this scale, size, and number of people, if the security were lax, we should be running. What's with the panic?"

He raised his hand, revealing the ring on his finger. A diamond remained clear and transparent.

The internal meme hadn't been disturbed in the slightest.

This is the key.

"Do you see it?" he said, "If the Coast were able to confirm we have ulterior motives, this diamond would change now."

The whole team entered New Spring in separate batches with legitimate identities, never using electronic devices for communication among themselves; all contact was under various rightful procedures and names. Otherwise, they were strangers from all over the world, never met before.

Furthermore, there's the covering by the upper ether.

Sixteen diamonds worn by different individuals; once the entrusted [Name] is disturbed by events, an immediate reaction would naturally occur.

Simply put, if someone questions their identity during the observation, the ring will immediately turn black. Moreover, the stronger the Chosen One is, the more astounding the disturbances they can cause during event changes, and the response will be quicker.

This is the most direct reaction and change, even the Tong family can't conceal it.

The diamond's current tranquility precisely indicates that they remain under protection, the enemy is bright, we are dark, the advantage is ours!

"Just do your part, Ahyong, no need to worry, understand?" Huang Ming's voice sounded, deep and unbelievably magnetic, soothing Li Yong's constantly stirred fear, restoring him to tranquility and peace.

"I, I understand."

Li Yong nodded, once again smiling.

Turned around and left.

Feeling the Seed of Mind drifting farther away, Huang Ming in the room pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote on it: [The situation has changed; New Spring's defenses have increased, should we delay?]

[Everything is normal; no worries, proceed according to plan.]

Soon, the other side's reply appeared on the parchment: [Prioritize self-preservation, regardless of other parts' success or failure, just coordinate with Tian Shan and Baininger's teams.]

Huang Ming closed the parchment, picked up the suitcase prepared earlier, changed his disguise, and whistled, merging into the crowd outside the hotel.

Disappeared.

Just like that, invisible Seeds of Mind spread silently along with the twist of the whistle, in the surging crowd, rising and falling quietly, one by one, taking root and sprouting.

Meanwhile, at Coastal Industry's central cafeteria, a group of security guards who just finished their shift rotation were so hungry they were about to bang their trays, lining up impatiently.

"Hey, no rush, it's coming together, why hurry!"

The sweating head chef was directing his staff to quickly dish out the food from the pot, delivering plate after plate to the front only for them to come back empty after a hungry scramble.

The kitchen was bustling with heat.

"Fruit? Where's the fruit!" The head chef looked around, furiously: "Fruit hasn't arrived yet???"

"Coming, coming!!!"

A hoarse shout came from outside, as a man dragging a large cart ran, pushing open the kitchen door, already soaked in sweat, almost faint from heat.

Suddenly, other employees who'd been waiting swarmed in to quickly unpack the boxes from the cart, cleaning fruits before tossing them into machines, soon sending fresh trays out again.

After all the dishes were served, the kitchen finally had a short break before the next shift arrived, sitting on chairs and enjoying some cool air, chatting and clowning around.

Outside, they heard cheers and shouts; it was the prelude to the press conference, a majestic melody echoing through layers of walls, with some peeping out the window to watch the huge screen outside.

As the prelude to the press conference, the highly anticipated sporting event: boxing!

Two retired boxers due to disability and paralysis, thanks to Paradise interface, fought through the qualifiers and will use the lightweight exoskeleton provided by the Coast to determine the winner in front of all spectators!

Just the entrance brought cheers and shouts, even those in the kitchen clicked their tongues in admiration.

"Damn, did you see that muscle?"
