"What I just sent you is a knowledge called Gun Kata. Simply put, it's a combat system that uses firearms as weapons. It combines many physical techniques and shooting skills and theories.

It can be used as a means of self-defense and confrontation during your initial stages of cultivation. After your job change, you all have your own storage space now.

You can usually store some firearms and ammunition in it. Use plastic bullets and paintballs during training. Remember to wear protective gear. Little Wu has them in the armory.

Oh, right ~"

As he spoke, Liang Yue paused, and with a flip of his hand, he took out five black, round communicator devices.

After much research and integration by the intelligent AI, Little Wu, these communicators can now transmit information from the panoramic sandbox by connecting to satellites.

In addition, these communicators have also been equipped with quantum communication functions, enabling long-distance communication in the universe.

Of course, if the communication distance is too far, it will still be necessary to use some special signal towers or similar relay devices for transit.

During his trip, Liang Yue will also take the opportunity to deploy signal transmitters along the way.

After explaining the functions of the communicator to everyone, Liang Yue left the stronghold world directly.

At this time, the real-world time was only a little after 3 PM, during the sunny and bright summer afternoon. So, he turned around and asked Little Wu to call Stark.

"Hey ~ Where are you right now?"

"At Stark Industries, what's up?"

"I want to ask you something, I'm coming over ~"

After speaking, Liang Yue hung up the communicator directly.

The next moment, a space channel connected directly to the interior of the top floor of Stark Tower.

Stepping into it, he looked around and found that Stark was leisurely half-lying on the inside of the bar, holding a bottle and pouring wine into a glass.

Seeing Liang Yue arrive, this dog tycoon, who looked more than ten years younger, raised his eyebrows at him casually, and then gestured to the seat next to him.

By the way, he pushed the wine glass in front of him over.

"Speak, what do you want to ask?"

"You should know some channels to the black market, right?"

After sitting down, Liang Yue picked up the wine glass and said, then subconsciously took a sip.

"Black market? What do you want to buy?"

Stark heard this, and a look of interest suddenly appeared on his face.

"Vibranium, you should know about it ~"

"You want to buy Vibranium? That stuff is very expensive, and it's usually hard to find even if you have the money. What do you want to use it for?"

"Refining artifacts."

"What's that? Another mystical side ~ gameplay?"

"A manufacturing method different from magical alchemy, often found in our Chinese Xianxia cultivation system."

"Is that the kind of ~ method for making magical treasures and some magical objects?"

"Yes."

"Wow ~! Even I find it a bit exciting. But, don't you already have that Iridium metal? Can't that be used?"

"For the first time refining artifacts, I naturally have to prepare more fully. In fact ~ besides some Iridium metal, I have also prepared many strange things.

But refining artifacts requires constant experimentation and practice. I plan to take a long trip recently, and it just so happens that I can use it to pass the time on the way."

Stark heard this, his old face twitched, and two bright lights suddenly appeared in his eyes, staring at him intently.

"Taking a long trip? Don't tell me you're planning a space trip!"

"Yes, it's not hard to guess what I mean by taking a long trip."

"Do you have a specific itinerary?"

"No, it's my first space voyage, I plan to wander around."

"Then you must bring a professional ~"

As he spoke, Stark suddenly leaned back tactically, spreading his hands with an expectant look on his face.

"What, can't the Earth hold you anymore?"

"Anyway, the group is running well recently, and there's nothing going on around me. By the way, how long do you plan to last this trip? I can make some arrangements in advance."

"I can come back anytime, you know ~ besides spaceships, I also have some other ways to travel, but it's my first space voyage, and without a star map, it's not good to set any coordinates casually."

"Then there's no problem. How about taking me with you? I've recently developed a replica of that spacesuit. Remember, it's the one you gave me last Christmas."

"Taking you along isn't impossible ~"

"That's good!"

Looking at the dog tycoon opposite him, rubbing his hands and eager to try, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a little empathy.

Just as Stark was holding his virtual display screen notebook, walking back and forth, writing and drawing, Liang Yue dialed the communicator again.

The person he contacted this time was Sister Lu Yao, who was far away in China ~

Because Aunt Liu was busy taking care of the hospital on the American side, as well as the newly established gene therapy industry, Lu Yao was currently helping to manage his investments in China.

To a certain extent, this woman seemed to have become Liang Yue's spokesperson, housekeeper, and intermediary in some aspects in China.

Of course, in order to facilitate his overall planning and management of his industries, a clone of the intelligent AI, Little Wu, was also sent to China by him.

With such an important identity blessing, his Sister Lu Yao naturally received a special round communicator from Liang Yue, to facilitate communication between each other.

Soon, the video communication was connected ~

At this time, Sister Lu Yao on the other side seemed to be in a research room. Not far away, there was a group of people dressed meticulously.

Looking at their image, attire, and style, it was estimated that it was a small branch of unknown leaders who were coming to inspect…

At this time, after the virtual communication was connected, Liang Yue could also feel the curious gazes from the other people through the video window.

But he didn't care about it ~

"Sister Lu Yao ~"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"I'm looking for you this time to ask you to help buy a batch of raw materials from China."

Rare metals, and the periodic table of elements or something ~

Naturally, it would be more convenient to buy from the world's largest industrial producer.

After all, rare earths have always been a strength of China.

"What materials do you need?"

Afterwards, Liang Yue told Lu Yao about his needs this time. During the process, this sister didn't take it seriously.

After all, in her eyes, someone's research laboratory in the basement was already high-end enough, even reaching a mysterious level.

It was not surprising to need any raw materials.

However, even though she had already thought in her heart that Liang Yue's request was a matter of course, after listening to his words, Lu Yao still frowned slightly and asked him.

"Pure periodic table of elements, and the demand is not small. Some of these substances are very troublesome to prepare. What do you want these things for?"

"To practice magic weapons. Didn't I just get a refining secret book recently, so I wanted to try it out? But I don't have much experience in refining, so I have to explore it."

"… I understand, when do you need it specifically?"

Hearing his words, Lu Yao on the other side suddenly widened her eyes, and a hint of cuteness rarely appeared on her originally slightly cold and glamorous face, and it took a while to react.

"The sooner the better, recently I plan to run around in the universe. It just so happens that I can use it to refine artifacts on the way."

"Space voyage? Are you serious?"

"Of course ~"

"Are you going on the road alone?"

"That's what I planned before, but Stark just joined in."

"Then can we add another person from China?"

"That depends on who it is ~"
