Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

289-291

Russell knew that these people had a boss whom they answered to. When she was constructing the 3D map of the tsunami, she overheard Yi Bing calling his boss multiple times but wasn't his boss a he? She was fairly certain of this as the voice she heard from the other end of the line was a man's voice.

But did Yi Bing's man just mention Miss Gu?

Russell rose from her seat and ventured outside to see just who this person was. She was impressed by how quickly her arrival had raised the morale of Yi Bing and his team.

Before she could exit the room however, a crowd surrounding a feminine figure squeezed through the door. Yi Tong was standing next to her, gesturing with his hands as he explained the situation. The sullen expression he was initially wearing had been exchanged with one of hope and determination.

Russell was surprised by how quickly their attitude has shifted. Her eyes moved over to Gu Xiqiao's skinny frame.

She headed straight for the middle of the room. Upon closer look, her expression was extremely calm considering the predicament they were in and no one Russell had ever met even came close to how delicate her face was. It was just that... she was too young. This girl was way too young to be their boss.

Russell had no idea why Yi Bing and his men suddenly retrieved their backbones the moment this young lady appeared.

"Miss Gu, this is the amount of time we have left." Yi Tong set the computer down in front of Gu Xiqiao. He pointed at the countdown timer as he explained the situation.

Gu Xiqiao narrowed her eyes. The digits on the timer were 00:52:04.

There was less than an hour's worth left. Gu Xiqiao sat down in front of the computer and began hammering away on the keyboard. "Let me see to what extent things have developed first."

"Let me help..." Russell thought Gu Xiqiao wanted to see the current condition of Town W and immediately offered her assistance as such data could only be understood by a professional. She walked up to Gu Xiqiao and was about to reach out her hand when it was held back by Yi Tong.

Quietly, he whispered to her: "Please refrain from disturbing Miss Gu."

At the end of his stay at Baixing Village, Yi Tong had more or less a firm understanding of how god-like Gu Xiqiao was. She was the founder of the international company, Nine Heavens and as he had suspected, was also the one behind the virtual helmet's invention.

He had a lot of respect for Gu Xiqiao.

Russell and several other researchers looked at each other with their eyebrows twisted up in a knot. They were puzzled. They were merely concerned about Gu Xiqiao messing up the data which they had meticulously collected over the past few days. Dealing with the aftermath of that would be a major pain in the butt.

Before they could fully absorb what was going on however, Gu Xiqiao's fingers had already started typing away on the keyboard.

A string of digits appeared on the screen, which was showing the 3D map of the tsunami. A second later, yet another 3D map popped up. This time, it was showing a map of Town W which was then wiped out by a column of water so high that it stretched up into the sky.

Russell had already given Yi Bing and his men a description of what was to come but it wasn't as terrifying as when it was shown on the 3D map.

Yi Bing and co went silent upon watching the simulation of the disaster.

Russell and her team however, were the ones who were the most shocked about this. What the hell? That 3D map from before was created by the collective effort of their entire team over the course of ten days. They were already plenty impressed with themselves when they were able to construct a miniature model of the town. Seems like Miss Gu didn't think the same thing. After entering a bunch of data, she was able to come up with a new 3D map right then and there.
