181: Chapter 181 History in Cycles

If it were just about size, it would be too easy to manufacture. You have to realize, mechas are meant to deal with interstellar warships.

Those interstellar warships that are tens of thousands of meters long or even larger.

However, for now, I still need to get all the mecha Materials from the three major groups, then communicate with the other three races to find a channel to obtain wreckage. If I could directly get the wreckage of a king-class mecha, all the problems would be solved.

But this should be very difficult. Other races will also fight for this wreckage; they won't really give you a chance to pick up a bargain.

"Caiyi..."

"Hmm?" She reacted and looked at him.

"Never mind... let's talk about it when we get back!"

She nodded, acknowledging that it was a relatively important matter that couldn't be discussed here.

The car drove all the way to the small building.

As soon as they entered the tea room, Lu Qingfeng asked: "Have we had any dealings with the other major races?"

"Yes... we've had some dealings with basically every race."

"Then, regarding the Intelligent Humans, the Three-Eyed Race, and the Mohren Race, can we contact any core figures? Can we borrow their channels to enter the battlefield and collect wreckage?"

Lian Caiyi frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Actually, I had this idea a long time ago, but it won't work. We haven't been established here for long enough. Moreover, these three major races in Chaos City are not like us in the Human Race. Although they also have too many criminals, they are actually ruled by people dispatched by their respective official governments, so they are difficult to communicate with. They don't trust us, unlike the other three major factions that have been established for over a hundred years..."

Lu Qingfeng nodded in understanding. There were too many spies from the Human Race here, so it was normal for them not to be trusted.

"I see. Do we have any spies in the Triad Society and the Brotherhood Group? Can you find out the locations of Tony and Lei Peng? Preferably not in a situation where they are out in public."

He wanted to kill them secretly and arrange for his own controllable people to take over, secretly controlling the entire South City and concentrating the resources.

As for controlling a King-level Esper, that was just a pipe dream. Not to mention that they were human-shaped bombers, the chip bombs posed no threat to them at all; they couldn't even scratch their skin.

"I can't find out..." Lian Caiyi looked a bit embarrassed: "We have quite a few spies, but there's no way to reach their top level. Am I useless?"

Lu Qingfeng looked at her and comforted her: "We've only been here for five years, and you've already done very well. By the way, find an opportunity to get that fatty and Old Wolf—is that what they're called? I don't think I remembered wrong—arrange a meeting with them, and I'll meet them."

"Hmm... we've always been in contact with both of them. They count as mid-to-high-level members of the Brotherhood Group. Also, the year before last, Old Wolf advanced to Level 5, and the fatty advanced to Level 5 last year. They are now considered half-core members. They can often see Brother Zha, but it seems they haven't seen Tony."

Lu Qingfeng smiled: "It doesn't matter. I just need Brother Zha's whereabouts."

Lian Caiyi suddenly realized: "You mean finding Tony through Brother Zha?"

"Yes... preferably when the three brothers are together, to wipe them all out at once." Lu Qingfeng said casually.

"Kill them all? Do you mean to let Old Wolf and the fatty take over the Brotherhood Group? Are they capable?" Lian Caiyi was a bit doubtful about them.

"Caiyi... you underestimate people. Circumstances create heroes. There is no such thing as an unsuitable person; as long as you put them in a position, they will naturally become suitable. You know? Gao Qiqiang was originally just a fishmonger. He could even impulsively yell at people over a plasma TV, eventually getting beaten up. If he could succeed, why do you think others can't?"

Hearing Lu Qingfeng's words, Lian Caiyi thought for a while and smiled: "I fell into a misconception. It's just like the Great Ming Taizu in ancient times; a single village could produce so many battle-hardened generals. Circumstances create heroes."

"That's right... it's just that the class structure in Chaos City has solidified. If one day Chaos City becomes completely chaotic, you will discover that a whole bunch of once-unknown people have become the trendsetters here."

After saying this, Lu Qingfeng picked up his tea and took a sip.

And Lian Caiyi stared at him with bright, beautiful eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You've changed... you've become deep and scheming, and you've become grander..."

"Is that good, or bad?"

Lian Caiyi didn't answer immediately, but propped her chin on her hand and watched him for a while before saying:

"I don't know... for now, it's good. I'm very curious now: why have you changed so much? Can the slums really change a person this much?"

Lu Qingfeng didn't answer her but looked out the window, sighed, and then said self-deprecatingly: "I'm thinking... how stupid I was back then..."

"Stupid enough to actually say I wanted to wipe out the Noble Families... Do you know? I once said those words, and I said them right in front of Shen Qianxun. Don't you think that's childish?"

"Pfft..." Lian Caiyi laughed until she was leaning back and forth: "Lu Qingfeng, hahaha, saying you wanted to wipe out their family right in front of them... You aren't just stupid, you're reckless... Hahaha."

After laughing for a while, she said seriously: "Did you really have that thought back then?"

Lu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

She was silent for a while and said: "What about now?"

"I don't know?"

"So that means you still have this thought?" Lian Caiyi sighed: "It's not that I'm trying to advise you, but you should bury this thought in your heart for now..."

"Hmm... that's why I said how childish I was back then. It's just like someone in the slums saying they want to wipe out the Brotherhood Group now; isn't that laughable?" Lu Qingfeng shook his head, feeling that he was really like a reckless youth back then.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingfeng asked with a smile: "Caiyi, if one day—I'm saying if—I really become strong enough to overthrow them, what would you do?"

Lian Caiyi said without the slightest hesitation: "Can I help them collect their ashes?"

"Pfft... hahaha, that works!" Lu Qingfeng suddenly felt very happy.

"But have you ever thought that in a few hundred years, or a thousand years, new Noble Families will form again? History is always in Reincarnation. If it goes on like this, when will it ever end?" She propped her chin on her hand and looked at him.

"Hmm... actually, there are many ways. I'm just afraid the system won't be able to hold up in the end; that's the root of human nature. However, there will definitely be a way by then... won't there?"

"Hmm... I'm just afraid people won't be willing to execute them. There are too many methods."

Hearing this, Lu Qingfeng's killing intent surged: "If they don't execute it, then they die..."

"Then have you ever thought about whether you can keep your original intention, or whether the people around you can keep their original intention?"

Lu Qingfeng was somewhat silent. Thinking about these things, he felt his original thoughts were even more childish.

After a long while, he said:

"Caiyi... I have no choice, do you understand?"

"Hmm... I know that. If you compare the three major factions to the Noble Families, they won't sit back and watch you grow strong. As long as you can threaten their rule, you will die without a burial place. Once the martial arts are used up, they will also disappear completely into the long river of time..."

Ps: When you feel that the things you did and said in the past were very childish and stupid, it proves that you have matured...
