Chapter 904 - 902: The Last Line of Defense

"Boss, you’re the best at talking, I love hearing it."

Saying this, Zero patted her small chest confidently and said:

"With me around, nothing will go wrong."

Seeing the boss’s smile, Zero knew that the flattery was enough for now.

Then, Zero excitedly rubbed her hands together and looked up at Mo Jingchun, eagerly asking:

"Boss, you see, for the safety of you and Candy, shouldn’t my body be upgraded too? Many electronic components inside have started to deteriorate, and my combat power is far less than before."

Mo Jingchun looked seriously at the eager Zero, his gaze was truly remarkable.

If one didn’t know the background, it would likely fool anyone.

Little did they know, beneath this cute exterior, the combat power is off the charts.

But Mo Jingchun thought about it, and Zero’s point was quite valid.

He replaces his phone every year.

And all the electronic components within Zero are running 24/7, aging is quite normal.

After all, it’s been several years.

It just so happens that recent sales of spacecraft have started to generate funds, so there’s no need to be stingy with Zero.

Just as Zero suggested, it’s time for an upgrade, it’s best to apply the technology from the past few years that has not been disclosed to the public to Zero’s new body, maybe it can give the enemy a surprise.

But when this surprise is delivered, it might come with unexpected consequences!

Under the eager gaze of Zero, Mo Jingchun nodded.

"Yay! The boss agreed, I can finally grow taller."

The joyful Zero hugged Candy and jumped up directly.

Jumping more than three meters high with Zero, Candy was scared and clung tightly to Zero’s hands, not daring to move a bit, fearing that any larger movement would cause Zero to throw her out.

It was terrifying, while it was happiness, what’s the point of jumping that high, and taking her along?

Even Mo Jingchun was startled by Zero.

When he saw the two little ones land safely and then bounce back, Mo Jingchun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s enough, in my view, your combat power isn’t low."

Instantly, Zero stopped.

Kidding, how can she let the boss feel this body still has enough combat power! She barely managed to fool the boss into approving the funds.

The next morning, after seeing Candy off to the school bus, Mo Jingchun was about to head to the office, when Zero’s voice came through the Bluetooth headset.

"Boss, I’ve already submitted the funding request, could you approve it? I finished designing the new body blueprints last night, just waiting to procure materials for production."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun halted under the puzzled gazes of Li Xuanyu and Zhou Yaling.

Mo Jingchun glanced back at the school bus, pursed his lips.

"Understood, remember, can’t waste, and don’t stash it in your own pocket like last time."

"If I catch you again, don’t think about using the upgrade excuse to seek funding approval from me next time."

"Received, over."

Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun smiled, saying: "It’s just Zero, let’s continue on."

The three continued towards the office building, with Li Xuanyu beside Mo Jingchun curiously asking:

"Just now, you said Zero was stashing money in her pocket? What does that mean?"

"It literally means she put the excess money into her piggy bank."

Piggy bank... isn’t that just private money? Li Xuanyu’s mouth slightly lifted, finding it intriguing.

"Shouldn’t be much, right? If she took it, she took it, anyway it’s still yours, just a matter of left pocket to right pocket."

Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes, saying irritably: "It’s quite a few million, my private stash isn’t even as much as Zero’s."

Moreover, once the money is in Zero’s pocket, apart from Candy, even I can’t pry it out.

At this point, Li Xuanyu was a little puzzled.

"So, why is Zero saving so much money, it seems like she doesn’t need money."

Speaking of which, in the past three years, I’ve never seen Zero spend a penny."

At this moment, Zhou Yaling, who hadn’t spoken, laughed and chimed in: "That I know, Zero purely started saving because she saw Candy saved a lot of money."

"But big brother is right, it’s only when Candy occasionally wants toys or snacks, Zero actually spends her private money."

Li Xuanyu was full of helplessness, wondering what kind of hobby that is.

"That said, is Zero’s body expensive? Otherwise, how could she stash a few million?"

Walking into the lobby, Mo Jingchun smiled and nodded toward the greeting receptionist.

Faced with Li Xuanyu’s query, Mo Jingchun smiled softly, explained:

"Without exaggeration, even Zero’s current body, its technological advancement ranks third among all our company’s tech products, the cost is naturally steep."

"Does it seem insignificant? Then let me tell you, our newly developed spacecraft’s technological advancement ranks fourth."

Li Xuanyu was stunned.

So many secrets in the lab? The spacecraft ranks only fourth.

Seeing Li Xuanyu’s expression, Mo Jingchun mysteriously said:

"Aren’t you curious about what’s first and second?"

Li Xuanyu nodded, then shook her head.

"I’m indeed curious, but I don’t want to ask, nor know. If I’m guessing right, little sister probably doesn’t know either."

Zhou Yaling shrugged, "I indeed don’t know, but I guess the first and second mentioned by big brother, aside from Zero, should only be known by big brother and Candy, maybe not even Candy."

Mo Jingchun looked at Zhou Yaling with approval, Zhou Yaling was right.

Ranked first is the microcomputer, even Candy isn’t aware of the microcomputer’s existence.

And this advanced thing is just placed in an inconspicuous spot in his office.

Apart from him and Zero, no one knows that’s Zero’s home, possessing terrifying computing power.

As for the second, Candy is most familiar with it, that is the Battle Armor that hasn’t left his private lab.

Mo Jingchun had considered replicating the Battle Armor, but even the most basic nanobot technology isn’t something he can overcome now.

Entering the elevator, Mo Jingchun felt more at ease speaking.

In this exclusive elevator, everyone is his own.

"Just remember, first and second are our last line of defense."

Li Xuanyu glanced sideways at the bodyguards behind and in front, wisely choosing not to ask further.

............

In the lounge, relaxing bodyguards sat inside taking a break.

The inherently curious Xiaofeixia grinned, curiously asked:

"Captain, what do you think the boss means by first and second?"

Wild Wolf, wiping his dagger, glared at Xiaofeixia, sternly warning him:

"Don’t discuss things you shouldn’t."

"Today’s heard things, I hope you don’t spread them to others’ ears. It’s best if we pretend not to hear, swallowing the words."

"The boss said it’s the last line of defense for the boss’s family, actually reminding us not to leak it."
