Atop the NXT Element Company Building

Another week has passed since the accident with Shi Anne Li and her losing her memory. She stayed with Shin Jiao and Susan Tang inside the NXT Element Company building.

This time, Shin Jiao has decided to turn the company building into a fortress. They have already bought the land with a hefty price and of course with come coercion and a little threat. But since they already owned the land, they decided to make it their home.

This week the whole company building was redesigned. What baffled the employees is the speed that the building was reconstructed. Little by little for 5 days, the building changes its shape turning it into a 10 story steel fortress-like building. The dark gray hue which does not reflect the sun rays looks like an imposing gray block of metal.

However, inside the building, everything looks like it\'s made of transparent glass as they can see the outside without any obstructions. This has baffled a lot of the employees inside the company as they marveled at the technology used at the place they are working in.

At night, the whole building illuminates its surroundings. Like a beacon of light.

This design has attracted many people as people would flock on the other side of the street while taking a picture of the building. Plus the walls can show advertisements for the products that the company is launching and other information.

The construction which is usually undertaken at night has attracted a lot of bystanders as they watch flying robots transform the old building into a new one.

Atop the metal-like fortress structure is a huge garden filled with flowers and trees. It literally looks like a small park, which many of the employees of the company like to visit during their break time. The parking area has been turned into a garden and the cars or vehicles of the employees are parked under it.

The transformation of the NXT Element Building and area has already gained the media\'s attention. Susan Tang was able to quell this along with the PR team as they introduce the new building and how it was constructed.

The appearance of the basic Mech Frame and their usefulness was shown to the country right at this time which made the whole country abuzz once again. Not only can the basic Mech Frame be used as a military tool, but it can also be used for civilian purposes.

But of course, these basic mech frames for civilian use are not as sturdy as the Mech Frames used for war and battles.

Amidst this busy time for the company, Shin Jiao and Shi Anne Li are sitting atop the park of the company building.

"This is place is really nice… but I still can\'t accept that I have lost half of my life\'s memories… I am happy to have made friends good people." Shi Anne Li said while taking a sip of her canned tea.

"So what have you decided to do now?" Shin Jiao asked.

"Well, since I can\'t do anything about the situation, I would like to get a job here." She said with a smile.

"You\'re already a part of this company you know. Haha…" Shin Jiao chuckled.

"I know… but I want to start all over… I seem to remember that I wanted to be a soldier because I\'m angry at my parents… but now… I regretted everything. I… I want to know how they are doing right now." She muttered with a tinge of sadness in her eyes.

"Hey, don\'t worry too much. If my guesses are not wrong, then your parents are in the capital with the Li Clan. But we can\'t go head to head with that clan of yours. We discovered that they held tremendous power."

"I know… that\'s one of the reasons I wanted to be a soldier. I wanted to go against my father and the clan\'s wishes."

"Anyway, revenge would not do you good. So be at ease in here, alright?"

"Thank you, Brother Shin…" Shi Anne Li said with a burning face.

In fact, she didn\'t know why, but whenever she is near Shin Jiao she can feel her heart beats faster as if feeling excited upon seeing the young and handsome looking guy. Plus she felt quite familiar to the guy as if her body is at ease whenever she is around him.

Central walks towards the two and handed Shin Jiao a computer tablet. On the screen, six women are being shown.

Shin Jiao knew that Central means and nodded his head.

"Take care of them…" he said with a smile.

Central immediately turn around and walked away.

"What\'s wrong brother Shin?" Shi Anne Li asked in confusion.

The change in Shin Jiao\'s facial expression was a little quick but she caught sight of it and knew that there is something wrong. This sharp sense of Shi Anne Li is one of the reasons why she was accepted in the military and became a spy.

Although she has forgotten that time already, her innate talent is still there.

"No worries, those are just small problems… let\'s go, I will show you something amazing." Shin Jiao said as he took Shi Anne Li towards the underground workshop.

This time, due to the huge amount of spiritual stones and beasts core inside his ring, he decided to create a two-way gate for a person to travel from the surface to the underground workshop. As it would only consume a single spirit stone per month if used 24 hours a day, it is very convenient for Shin Jiao as he didn\'t need to wait for the elevator. Of course, the materials still use elevator lifts for transfer.

As the two arrived inside the workshop, Shi Anne Li immediately saw Park Jiyong who is busy designing his new project. Shin Jiao taught Park Jiyong the ropes in designing products. But since he is not a cultivator or a mage, he is still having a hard time. However, his effort is commendable.

Meanwhile, another figure enters Shi Anne Li\'s eyes. It was the little figure of Duan Ying.

Duan Ying decided to stay for a while and stop himself from wanting to die. This is not because he is afraid that his soul would be banished by the deity due to the soul memories he has devoured for thousands of years, but instead, he became amused of the workshop and also an agreement with Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao agreed to help him get rid of all the soul memory inside his soul essence. This way he can finally enter his rest after thousands of years of torment.

Duan Ying\'s figure is small and Shin Jiao has already made many improvements in his mechanical body. To get rid of that huge amount of memory data inside his essence core he will use it to power up the cores of the newly made SLIA personal figures.

This is because Duan Ying\'s soul essence contains millions of soul memory. If a single memory contains a huge amount of data and if that can be converted to energy, then it is enough to power a single small city for years. As memories, they are not harmful or useful. But once data are turned to energy, and then it is different.

Shin Jiao knew the process, and also want to help Duan Ying to be able to rest in peace once and for all. So this was the plan they came up with. Duan Ying is also willing to do this because he found it amusing to see small figures just like him.

And each of these figures is programmed to be able to connect to their owner\'s SLIA. But they are not designed to replace phones but more of a personal assistant.

When the two enter the workshop Shi Anne Li began to walk around the check things up with interest in her eyes.

"Brother Shin, I want one of these!" she shouted as she held one of the thumb size SLIA figures that look like a toy robot.

"No… I… I want to make one with my own design." She said with a happy smile.

"Well, if you want you can temporarily work here with the others." Shin Jiao suggested.

"Really! Thank you… but you must teach me first what to do…" she said excitedly.

That day Shi Anne Li spends her time inside the workshop and began learning from Shin Jiao and sometimes Park Jiyong.

At night, 5 people and a small figure are sitting at a dinner table. They are happily discussing their days and experiences with a peaceful atmosphere. On the side, Duan Ying looks at the group and if he can cry, he would already be in tears.

Seeing this scene made him remember his childhood in ancient times before his father went crazy and turned his soul into a soul essence. His happy memory with his mother and siblings ran through his little mind as he suddenly heaves a heavy sigh.

He turns towards Shin Jiao who gave him a smile.

Duan Ying knew that if he wanted to see his mother on the other side, he needed the help of this young man who seems to look ordinary yet has extraordinary abilities.

Suddenly a voice enters his mind.

\'My child, you seem to be doing good… keep up the good work and return with honor.\'

When Duan Ying heard the voice, he was stunned. He turns his gaze around to search the source of the voice but found no one.

"Who… who are you?" he asked mentally.

But then he receives no reply. But then found his soul feeling happy. This feeling made him realize who the voice belongs to. This made him look up unconsciously. If his small face has expressions, then the people around the table can see him grinning happily right at this moment.
