Having received intelligence from Anthony, how could Xu Lie possibly step out of the UFO and allow someone to aim a Sniper Rifle at him? Although he had taken the Gene Serum, which significantly enhanced his physical attributes and reflexes, allowing him to dodge bullets, this was only effective against direct shots. If the Special Forces targeted him from his blind spots, it wouldn’t matter how fast his reflexes were.
Moreover, the bullets from a Sniper Rifle traveled at speeds of at least several hundred meters per second, making it nearly impossible for Xu Lie to evade them. As long as he remained within the realm of Carbon-Based Life, it was fundamentally improbable to withstand such weaponry. Therefore, Xu Lie had no intention of trying to endure the attack or engage in any reckless display of strength. The Military-Industrial Complex that warmly welcomed him was the perfect tool for his purposes.
Faced with such a warm reception, it would be somewhat disrespectful not to show himself. Thus, the UFO easily hacked into the building's computer systems and swiftly accessed the surveillance equipment, locating several Arms Tycoons.
The Arms Tycoons were surprisingly coordinated; instead of being in their individual offices, they had gathered in a large conference room. Several computers were set up in the room, displaying live footage from the first floor. One of the computers exited its current screen and replaced it with Xu Lie’s image: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to human customs, I should thank you for your warm welcome."
This time he did not use a mechanical voice; after all, with the UFO present, others would naturally assume it was an Alien Life technology and would not doubt Xu Lie himself. The Arms Tycoons were startled and exchanged glances, each reading the same message in one another's eyes: the technology of Alien Life was far superior to their own when it came to cybersecurity.
How long had it been? In mere moments, they had silently infiltrated the building's computers without triggering even a single alert from their firewalls. The Arms Tycoons dared not be complacent; despite their shock, they had finally attracted Alien Life’s attention and could not remain silent simply because they were startled.
A few seconds of silent communication was enough for them to gather their wits. A middle-aged man named Grat, who had been previously discussed among them, stepped forward to address Xu Lie: "Esteemed one, honored Lie."
Xu Lie had casually assigned himself a long string of numbers earlier that he could hardly remember, but Grat recalled them clearly. His eloquence indicated that they must have practiced this exchange extensively behind closed doors.
Xu Lie waved his hand dismissively: "Just call me Lie. Our numbers hold no significance for you humans."
Using the vocabulary of humanity, it was merely a conversion expression of the elemental metal from my hometown.
However, none of the Arms Tycoons understood what Xu Lie was talking about. The term "elemental metal conversion expression" sounded sophisticated and high-end, but they lacked the technology to grasp its meaning completely.
Due to the privilege of being an actor, the camera followed Xu Lie closely, and the audience was eager to join in on the excitement.
"Impressive! I can't understand a word. Is there anyone with a good brain who can analyze this?"
"Don't rely on the experts for everything; what if they don't understand either?"
Seeing these comments filled with confusion, Xu Lie could only think that it was perfectly fine not to know. In fact, he himself had no idea what it was all about; if someone did understand, that would truly be a miracle.
Coughing lightly, Xu Lie noted that since he had stated that numbers held no meaning for humanity, there was no need to dwell on it. The immediate priority was to win over Alien Life: "Respected Grat, I..."
Before Grat could receive more expressions of respect, Xu Lie suddenly introduced a new topic: "However, your way of expressing welcome is quite enthusiastic."
The Hot Weaponry had brought so much with them. Initially, Grat and several Arms Tycoons wore smiles on their faces.
Enthusiasm was good; they felt they had conducted the highest level of welcoming ceremony, with hundreds of banners and even utilizing stock from their warehouses.
This was the effect they had arranged.
