Hot Crystals

Tom had just walked out of the courtyard when he saw the purple electric four wheeled car painted with a coquettish aura driving in.

This is Ouyang Haotian's car, but he seemed very anxious and didn't see Tom, so he drove over directly.

Tom turned around and shouted loudly to him. The purple electric four wheeled car suddenly came to a stop, and due to its light weight, it brake too quickly, causing the car's buttocks to jump up.

A head of yellow hair peeked out of the car window, and after recognizing Tom, the face beneath the yellow hair burst into a joyful smile. Then the electric bike quickly retreated and stopped steadily next to Tom, "Hey, An Shitou, you're back. Xiao Gao and I take turns coming to guard you after work every day. It looks like we're missing arms and legs."

Tom opened the car door and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back."

The car made a neat turn and drove out of the security department courtyard, heading straight to the hospital.

Ouyang Haotian insisted that he undergo a physical examination after seeing him covered in bruises.

On the way, Ouyang Haotian twitched his nose and sniffed, "What's that fishy smell on you?"

"Is there anything?" Tom grabbed his collar and sniffed around, "No, there isn't."

"Wait a moment," Ouyang Haotian shouted, grabbing Tom's hand and leaning towards his nose, "Hmm... poop... An Shitou, you've grown up too, haha."

"What?" Tom was confused as he sniffed his palm. It turned out that the faint fishy smell came from his palm. "After digging out the crystals in Black Dog's body, I remember taking a shower. Hey, I need to find a place to wash my hands later."

"Hahaha, you don't know what this is, but I do."

The car quickly arrived at the hospital, and when Xiaomei had an accident last time, Ouyang Haotian and Liu Lian were eager to bring her over, leaving a deep impression on the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Especially afterwards, General Manager Shen Jiayi personally came to inquire about the injury, and they were even more attentive.

So the examination of Tom's injury was quickly completed, and there was no problem. The doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs and fall medicine wine, and it was all settled.

According to the female doctor, Tom's physical condition is extremely good, and these minor injuries cannot harm him at all.

After the examination, Tom went to the ICU ward to visit Xiaomei, who was still unconscious.

Unconsciously, Xiaomei has been unconscious for over two months, but it seems that there is no sign of awakening.

Ouyang Haotian came to see her every day and became accustomed to it.

Afterwards, he took Tom to the private kitchen to rest, while he went everywhere to inform others and report Tom's safety to them.

Dinner was all familiar dishes, with hot dishes and soup that made Tom, who had been out for three days, very comfortable. What moved him even more was that during the three days he went out, Cheng Fuhua and others were still very concerned about him. Every day after work, they would go to the task hall of the security department to inquire about the situation.

The orphan who was once suddenly covered in clothes now has the care of friends, and all these friendships were won by Tom.

Tom told everyone about the process of this mission and also explained Yuan Feipeng's situation thoroughly.

"Well, the second generation official who committed the rape case earlier is indeed named Yuan Feipeng," Ouyang Haotian said thoughtfully. "I have heard from the security department privately that the case was done a bit haphazardly. It turns out that this haphazard means that the framing methods are too rough."

"I have heard a little about Yuan Shao's situation," Cheng Fuhua added, "There are indeed people in the internal affairs department who have come into contact with him before. They all say that that kid was a bad rascal before the disaster. He has a set of tricks for causing trouble, but his ability to handle things is rotten."

"Haozi, please help me pay attention to that woman named Ni Peiyun, who used to work as a maid in Yuan Feixing's house."

Ouyang Haotian's reaction was quick: "The person who took your sister's pendant?"

Tom nodded and said, "Well, she used to be the CEO of some state-owned enterprise. When she came in, she owed a debt and used my sister's pendant to scare Zhang Chengjiang with a high price. Later, it was discovered that Zhang Fatty had tricked her into a debt, which is why she worked at Yuan Feipeng's house."

"That female celebrity..." Ouyang Haotian thought for a moment and then looked at Tom's hand. He couldn't help but laugh again, causing everyone else to be confused. Then he suppressed his smile and said, "She promised to ask that woman for the origin of the pendant for you? So easy to talk about? How can I remember the last time you and Brother Hua entered her house, he really pulled you into the closet and played the role of the neighboring old Wang?"

It's okay not to mention it, but when it comes to Tom, his head gets bigger. He regretted sharing this detail with them, which would probably become a stain that he couldn't wash away in his lifetime. "I took care of her while fighting outside, and she felt my sincerity. Naturally, she was more talkative, after all, she wasn't a bad person herself, let alone the kind of woman who would use her brain."

Zhao Yingying, who was standing beside her, took a sip of tea and said with deep emotion, "Of course, our An Ge team leader is brave and fearless, prioritizing others over others. When faced with danger, it's all up to us. For such a leader, even the most selfish person should be grateful. How can a female celebrity escape?"

Cheng Fuhua and Xiao Gao all agreed. Initially, they escaped from the rental building all the way, and in the end, they entered a shelter and boarded a plane. Tom has always been at the forefront, undertaking the most dangerous battles, and providing advice, making various weapons and props to help everyone escape.

Although some people died midway, those sitting believed that this was already the best outcome, and other people might not be able to achieve this level.

Even selfish little bosses like Li Zexin, who keep playing around all day, would now respectfully shout "An Ge" when they see Tom. Why? Because when Tom led the team, taking care of each team member was a selfless effort, and if he didn't accept this feeling, he wouldn't have to deal with him anymore.

"Come on, Brother Jing'an has won again and returned!" Liu Lian raised his glass high, "I also hope that Brother An can find his sister soon and reunite with his siblings."

"Thank you." Tom's heart was warm, and the feeling of being trusted and respected was quite good.

After six people clinked their glasses and finished drinking, Ouyang Haotian suddenly burst into laughter. Tom was puzzled and said, "With the blue crystal, we can plan to enter the security department to retrieve his crystal. Come, An Shitou, take out your precious treasure that you have worked so hard to obtain from the beauty's embrace."

The crystal remained stuck in Tom's pocket, and since Ouyang Haotian suggested to take a look, he generously took it out.

"You said before that the female celebrity secretly brought her into the shelter, right?"

Ouyang Haotian's strange smile gave Tom a bad premonition, but Tom instinctively nodded and answered his words.

"Are you surprised how she brought it in?"

Tom nodded again and said, "We hid two level 5 ones outside, one green and one blue. If we had known she had this ability, we would have hidden them all in."

"Hahaha." Ouyang Haotian laughed, and Cheng Fuhua beside him had already guessed roughly. He also chuckled, making Liu Lian and Zhao Yingying confused.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Lian asked.

"Take a smell of the crystal and see."

Liu Lian picked up the crystal, which was the size of a pebble, smelled it for a moment, then pondered for a moment, and was immediately stunned. "This... this... is it..."

"What?" Zhao Yingying became even more strange. She grabbed the crystal and sniffed it again. "This smell... hidden..." Her face immediately turned red.

Tom remained confused, "What's wrong with you? What's the problem with this crystal?"

"There's no problem with the crystal, Brother An," Cheng Fuhua said. "But it's just such a big crystal. Miss Yang can bring it in, and if it's even bigger, it's just... there's nothing we can do, let alone level five."

"Why?" Tom still couldn't understand.

At this point, Xiaogao finally understood and laughed along, "Brother An, haha, I got it. Haha... Think about it, how those drug dealers hid drugs into customs, like women."

"Hiding drugs?" Tom was taken aback. "This..." He thought for a moment and immediately understood. The crystal he had just received slammed onto the table, as if it was also a hot potato. At the same time, his face turned red like a monkey's butt.

"Ahahaha, look at his face, hahaha." Ouyang Haotian bent over with a smile, his voice the loudest. The others also laughed heartily, causing Tom to get up and run to the restroom in the private room to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, he realized the key to the problem and quickly grabbed the hot blue crystal and ran in to wash it again.

Loud laughter echoed from the dinner table again.

Due to the strict inspection mechanism of the factory, after dinner, Ouyang Haotian sent Tom back, while the blue crystal was entrusted to Ouyang Haotian for safekeeping. Otherwise, it's easy for Tom to bring it in, but it's difficult to bring it out.

Last time he brought out the large knife with a temporary crystal storage handle, it was also because he had previously discussed with manager Zhang Guangliang about a blank crystal as a cover, so that blank yellow crystal was already his personal item, otherwise it would have been impossible to bring it out.

Returning to the factory, Tom rested all night and started working normally the next day.

In theory, with Yuan Feixing's relationship, even if he sleeps in the factory for three days after returning from this mission, Zhang Guangliang will not have any objections.

But now that Tom has returned from his previous work and returned to work normally, his diligent spirit, not to mention other workers, even Zhang Guangliang couldn't find any flaws, and he even felt that Tom was a bit foolish.

Is Tom foolish?

Of course not. After going out this time, Tom tested that his strength had actually doubled. He felt that this was somewhat related to his work of using green crystal dry metal shaping and brushing experience points during this period.

Since he plans to go out and search for his younger sister, he certainly seizes the time to do more shaping work and exercise his abilities.

In fact, on the day of construction, he noticed something was wrong.

With the same workload, the time he needs to complete it has significantly shortened. After working for two days, he found that the consumption of green crystals has also decreased significantly.

This is a good sign that although the increase in strength and speed has not increased, the efficiency of metal shaping has been improved and consumption has decreased. This means that his metal shaping ability has been upgraded.

This also has an advantage, which is that manufacturing armor requires the use of metal shaping, which means it needs to consume the green crystal provided by the factory.

I secretly made a deformed big knife, but I still can't see it. Replacing it with a complete set of armor would consume a huge amount of green crystal.

So Tom must sneak in and take his time. Nowadays, the efficiency of metal shaping has improved and consumption has decreased, which undoubtedly allows for less time and relatively less consumption in production.

That evening, Tom began drawing blueprints in the dormitory and began making his larger armor.
