Chapter 295

Boom—

The laboratory door slid open at Lucy White's lightest touch.

Dr. Roland was busy packing equipment with two assistants, while Sam Wilson lounged nearby with crossed legs.

"Aren't you helping?" Lucy arched an eyebrow.

Sam shrugged. "These hands only know keyboards. Manual labor? Hard pass."

"Ah, nepotism perks." Lucy smirked.

"Resource optimization," Sam corrected, leaning closer. "But you—hacking biometric locks? Should I call you Shadow now?"

Lucy narrowed her eyes. "Your own security locks you out?"

Sam avoided her gaze. "Well... the administrator turned zombie. Who saw that coming?"

Three hours later...

Lieutenant Leo scratched his head at the overloaded helicopter. "Miss White, need a favor."

"Evacuation run?" Lucy instantly understood. "Doable. But—"

"Got it!" Leo cut in. "Standard rate—one point per team!"

On the tarmac, international contestants gaped as Team China returned.

"Lockpick service. One point per use." Lucy cheerfully raised one finger.

Captain Rex of Team One twitched. "Since when did China become middlemen?"

"Mutual benefit." Lucy tapped the control panel. Ding. The gate obediently opened.

Everyone: "......"

This counted as "complex operation"?

By the bookshelf, Lucy suddenly announced: "One box per person."

"Impossible!" someone scoffed.

The next second, after Captain Rex took a box, another materialized on the shelf.

"What sorcery?!" a voice shrieked.

Every captain swiveled to stare at Lucy like she'd grown horns.

This woman was definitely cheating!
