Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue shut up. Indeed, Ling Qingyu didn't need a reminder; she prepared everything from all angles, not leaving a spot..

What both didn't know was that Ling Qingyu's savings of trillion yuan hadn't reduced much in the recent spending, even if the amount reached more than 10 billion.

Sometimes, Ling Qingyu had a heartache—she had money but she didn't know where to spend wealth efficiently.

So, with the prospect of disclosing little by little some secrets to her subordinates, Ling Qingyu should have a plan.

Actually, she didn't. If Ling Qingyu heard their affirmation, she would roll on the floor and laugh miserably. Her sisters were thinking too highly of her.

Suddenly, Tang Ziyi began to talk and asked questions. Ling Qingyu and Xiao Yue were initially puzzled when more familiar and simple terminologies related to naval subjects appeared in her words, both knew Tang Ziyi was having a conversation with Elena.

"Alright, girls. Let's move." Tang Ziyi stood up.

"Move where?" Ling Qingyu asked.

"Where else but the submarine?" Tang Ziyi answered as a matter of fact. " We better check the sub earliest. The sooner we make a move, the more time we have to prepare."

Ling Qingyu admitted Tang Ziyi had a point. She was being lazy and didn't want to move a finger, today, after all shit happened.

Nonetheless, since she obtained new gifts from Miss System, it was impolite of her to remain nonchalant. She must reciprocate Miss System's hard feelings.

Miss System: so many excuses?

"Sure, as long as you girls aren't tired." Ling Qingyu shrugged at Xiao Yue, who also returned the same gesture. Out of three women, Tang Ziyi was the most unstable.

In fact, Xiao Yue was also curious about the epoch machine that might even drive another third world war, if someone leaked the important data of the submarine. Even an autonomous program like Elena would have a huge impact.

Hmm, wait. Elena shouldn't be the same as Athena, right? The latter had more computing cores and an unimaginable amount of support while Elena should be a program with self-awareness. That should be decided when she faced Elena in person. Ling Qingyu's mind ran in several different directions.

Ling Qingyu dressed up again in casual suits and followed Tang Ziyi's lead. The three reached the helipad, prompting Ling Qingyu to widen her eyes.

"Sister Tang, give me some rest, okay? I just suffered a heart attack." Azi pleaded in exaggeration.

Ling Qingyu wondered what made poor Azi so scared of Tang Ziyi. Though someone was acting, there was some truth in her words. Ling Qingyu could sense Azi's wariness.

Receiving Ling Qingyu's weird gaze, Tang Ziyi coughed and replied. "Peace, sister. Peace, you won't have a trauma."

Xiao Yue chuckled and slapped Ling Qingyu's shoulder. Azi, on the other hand, had a loveless expression, hearing Tang Ziyi's nonchalance.

Ling Qingyu felt good seeing Azi mingling pretty well around the girls. Not bad, that she had overcome her trauma.

Everyone got in. Tang Ziyi sat on copilot and Azi was still the pilot in charge. Xiao Yue and Ling Qingyu stayed behind as passengers. Inputting coordinates, apparently from Elena, Tang Ziyi marked the path on the GPS screen.

Azi stopped clicking buttons and asked: "Seriously? That's in the middle of nowhere. We're taking a vacation in the sea."

"I'm serious," said Tang Ziyi with a smile. "I know you sign a non-disclosure agreement, but I want to reiterate—what you're about to see next mustn't be spoken until we allow you. Can I trust you?"

Azi paused and didn't immediately reply. Her eyes lowered to her foot and looked upward again. She didn't give a reply but she resumed clicking buttons to start the engine.

"I'll take that as a yes." Tang Ziyi said.

"You better make my time worth it," Azi complained.

"Oh, you'll be glad that you're transporting us in the next hour." Tang Ziyi assured Azi.

The helicopter lifted in the air and followed Tang Ziyi's marker. Azi was about to report to the air command of Province N when Tang Ziyi stopped her. Any private or government aerial vehicles must report unless during a confidential mission which would need a report to explain the reasons.

"Athena will handle the process for us." Tang Ziyi said. "Nobody knows we're here."

30 minutes later. Only blue waves and the red sun on the horizon cascaded around the helicopter. Ling Qingyu lamented the beautiful sight. Both were natural beauty yet posed the deadliest threats to humankind while giving life.

10 minutes later, only the calm sea, a few birds, and a school of dolphins hopping around entered the view. Ling Qingyu yawned at the long hour flight but she sensed the flight slowing down until it hovered to a stop.

"So, now what?" Azi asked.

"Be patient. We have time. Just don't crash us because you're suddenly scared." Tang Ziyi reminded and warned with a tease.

Azi furrowed her brows and waited. Likewise, Ling Qingyu and Xiao Yue snapped their eyes close to the windows to observe. Unlike the pilot, they understood what was coming.

Sure enough a minute later, about when Azi nearly got impatient, a change was visible, clearly seen through the waves that something was punching out.

"Look at my 2 o'clock." Azi held her breath.

Everyone followed her guidance and took in a deep breath. A humongous black shadow slowly increased in size.

Boom!

A huge metal structure ejected out of the waves, displacing the rest of the water nearby. Waves rose in a circular ring and spread outward, originating from its position.

Boom!

The structure slammed back and jumped a few times, heightening the previous terror. A black giant submarine emerged.

Azi coughed and patted her chest to relieve herself. "We're waiting for this thing?" The shock was an understatement. "That's a fucking submarine and a giant one."

"I know." Tang Ziyi's voice trembled, as her nose took in several deep breaths.

Xiao Yue and Ling Qingyu gasped and hissed at the magnificent size. From the dimensions labeled on the paper, they already envisioned the size. But the reality still managed to stun the girls, excluding Azi.

The tremendous metallic size brought sheer terror and coldness. The missile launch silos, captured from above told everyone that this sub wasn't easy to be messed with. Of course, the railguns' position and anti-air system were hidden in weirdly shaped concealment structures, which Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi were attempting to discover.

They found suspicious locations but clearer explanations and the truth had to wait.

On the side, Azi went speechless, her brain almost numbed. She thought Tang Ziyi was pretty much improving to no longer play rock music on her flight. She hadn't praised for long, Tang Ziyi struck her wrong. One morning she was dealing with gangs and terrorists. Now she was dealing with a submarine. Please give her a break.

As an ex-military pilot, Azi read through relevant technologies of armed forces and differentiations in many branches. She knew from the sheer size of this submarine, that this wasn't a conventional machine. Only nuclear-powered engines could drive the sub effortless and the latter's premonition terrified Azi of her future prospects.

Her eyes begged for answers which her copilot happily answered but Tang Ziyi's next words froze her. "And this titan is ours."
