The man with glasses stepped out of the shadows and approached the conference table.
He took a metal sphere from his person.
"What is this? A damn metal ball, and you specifically took it out?"
"Take a good look at it. Has anyone seen this kind of metal before?"
"Let me see."
A woman, dressed in a revealing outfit, was rare in the apocalypse.
"Yes, yes, let Sister Na take a look. When it comes to these metal things, Sister Na is the one."
Scarface glanced greedily at Sister Na's chest, but his words were flattering.
Sister Na was a metal-element ability user, and her level had already reached the eighth tier.
Ordinary ability users could hardly gravely injure her, and she could create a suit of metal armor for herself at any time, making it impossible for others to get close to her.
Therefore, everyone present dared not underestimate this woman.
The woman picked up the metal sphere placed on the table and activated her ability, trying to change the shape of the metal sphere.
However, after several attempts, the metal sphere remained unchanged.
The people around were unaware of this, thinking the woman was analyzing the composition of the metal sphere. They all waited silently, not daring to disturb her.
But as time passed, beads of sweat began to form on the woman's forehead.
She was consuming her body's energy, constantly probing, trying to decompose the metal in her hands with her known metal abilities.
"Sister Na, why don't you take a break?"
At this point, everyone noticed something was wrong, realizing that this eighth-tier metal-element ability user was helpless against the metallic substance before her.
"Bang!" Sister Na slammed the metal onto the table with a dark expression, and the entire metal sphere embedded itself into the wooden table.
"What the hell is this? Where did you get it, Lin Chongshan?"
After sitting down, Sister Na took a level four crystal to restore her lost energy.
The embarrassment flashed across her face.
However, if everyone in this room, including her, was helpless against this metal sphere, then no one else could figure it out.
Lin Chongshan smiled and dug the metal sphere out of the table. He pushed up his glasses and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Don't you see yet? This thing doesn't belong to Blue Star. It's an extraterrestrial object."
"What? Extraterrestrial? A meteorite?"
At this moment, a man sitting in the middle of the room beckoned to Lin Chongshan. "Bring it here for me to see."
If it was a meteorite, it could be melted. As a fire-element ability user, it wouldn't be difficult for him to melt such a thing.
Earlier, someone had presented him with a meteorite, which he had melted and had a blacksmith forge into a metal axe.
Seeing that someone else wanted to try, Lin Chongshan smiled and pushed the metal sphere in his hand over.
The man grabbed the sphere rolling on the table, flipped his palm, and held the metal sphere in his palm.
Immediately, he activated his ability, and a red flame shot up from his hand, continuously heating the metal sphere.
Seeing this, everyone got up and retreated, moving the table away from the man.
Just in case the high temperature burned the table.
As the flame in the man's hand became extremely hot, the metal sphere also glowed red in response.
But the red glow was not the state of the metal melting, but merely the halo reflected on the outer layer of the metal sphere by the surrounding flames.
"Damn it, where did you get this? I can't do anything with it either."
The flame in the man's hand extinguished, and he threw the metal sphere onto the ground.
A water-element ability user beside him quickly shot a stream of water at the metal sphere.
The outer shell of the metal sphere made sizzling sounds, and its temperature also decreased.
Seeing this, Lin Chongshan produced a vine from his hand. The vine dragged the metal sphere on the ground and returned it to his hand.
"It seems everyone is helpless and doesn't know what kind of metal this is."
Lin Chongshan looked at everyone with a hint of pride. He paused, holding the metal sphere and showing it to everyone again.
"This is truly an extraterrestrial object, but not what you think. Do you know about alien technology?"
"You... you mean this is a product of aliens?"
Hearing Lin Chongshan's words, everyone in the room gasped. 138 Reading Network
"Don't scare us. It's chaotic enough out there. Now we have to face aliens in addition to zombies?"
"Yeah, aliens have come to Blue Star."
Lin Chongshan looked at the metal sphere through his glasses.
He found this thing in Lin Yu's room. At first, he thought it was a bit special and might be worth some money, so he took it.
Later, after much investigation, he finally learned that this was an alien artifact.
However, he didn't understand its specific usage and had tried many methods to open it without success.
Since his relationship with Lin Yu became strained, Lin Chongshan had been increasingly neglected by Lin Yu. Every time he went to see Lin Yu, he would be discovered and kicked out.
Moreover, apart from providing him with basic living expenses, Lin Yu offered him nothing more.
His life in Dragon City became increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, he had saved some money in the past and, through some privileges, still had some crystals.
But this was far from enough; he wanted more.
He felt that his son, as the lord of a city, did not take care of him at all and treated him worse than an ordinary person in an unnamed city.
After several encounters, his mind became twisted.
He wanted to cause some trouble to teach Lin Yu a lesson.
He felt that as Lin Yu's father, no matter how big the trouble he caused, Lin Yu would not kill him.
After hearing that Lin Yu planned to annex the surrounding bases and expand the scale of the Nameless City base, he began to act.
Leveraging his identity as the father of the lord of Nameless City, he became very active in several nearby small bases and shelters.
At this moment, he was discussing a plan to deal with Nameless City with the leaders of two bases who did not want to move and were negotiating with Nameless City.
He took out the sphere he had "borrowed" from Lin Yu, wanting to make these people value him again.
"Since Blue Star has aliens, we can cooperate with them.
Think about it, why did the aliens come to Blue Star?
It's to rule us humans, but they can't possibly rule humans alone.
The aliens will definitely use us natives. Only we people can serve them better and manage the others on Blue Star."
It must be said that Lin Chongshan's mind sometimes thought in very strange ways.
He could even come up with these methods, similar to those of traitors during the warlord era.
"Ah, I think it's a good idea. Brother Lin's idea is effective. If we can get noticed by the aliens, we'll surely get some official positions, haha..."
Scarface's eyes rolled, and his mindless laughter echoed in the room.
"Idiot!" Sister Na glanced at Scarface.
