202: Chapter 201 Testing the Various Races

"Alright, don't overthink it. Let's go to the factory to find Yang Lei and have him build a Level 4 mecha first."

Lu Qingfeng looked up, paused, and patted her shoulder.

"Mhm..."

The two went down the mountain and arrived at the pit in the center of Green Mountain, the Mecha Center.

Zero Three and his men were guarding the entrance.

"Greetings, Lord! Miss Lian!"

"Call Master Yang over. Tell him I have something to discuss."

"Yes..."

Before long, Yang Lei followed Zero Three over with a look of displeasure.

Lu Qingfeng pulled out a cigarette case, quickly handed him a cigarette, and said with a smile, "Old Yang, sorry for interrupting your work."

One does not strike a smiling face. Yang Lei had been interrupted while researching Materials for the Intelligent Humans' warships, but seeing Boss Lu like this, his mood immediately improved.

Taking the cigarette, he also smiled and said:

"It's no bother, Boss Lu... Now that you're here, just give me your orders."

He had a very good impression of Lu Qingfeng.

"It's like this: we've basically unified Chaos City now, but to maintain our rule, we urgently need a mecha. A Level 4 will do. Do you think you can build it as quickly as possible?"

Yang Lei smoked skillfully, frowning as he thought.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry and waited for him quietly.

After a long while, he took a deep drag and said, "Three days, I suppose. Its performance might be slightly worse than a standard mecha, but it'll definitely be usable. It'll be much stronger than what we had before, and stronger than a small warship."

Lu Qingfeng was a bit surprised. "So fast? Is that enough time?"

"We have enough manpower now. If those brats dare to slack off, I'll give them a thrashing. We'll work overtime and piece it together; it'll be quick."

"Alright... then I'll leave it to you, Old Yang. Let me know if you need anything."

"I actually do have one request..." After saying this, Yang Lei glanced at Lian Caiyi, looking a bit uneasy.

Lian Caiyi understood and turned to leave, giving the two of them some space.

"What is it?"

Yang Lei felt a bit embarrassed. He stubbed out his cigarette, his face flushing slightly. "Well, Lord Lu... I'm still quite young, and I don't know when I'll be able to go back. Do you think you could...?"

Lu Qingfeng understood instantly. He laughed loudly, patted his shoulder, and leaned in to whisper, "Women, right? Tell me, which race do you want? I can get any of them for you!"

"Ahem..." Yang Lei threw caution to the wind and whispered, "Are there any from the Three-Eyed Race or the Mohren Race? I want both..."

"Hehehe... I didn't realize you were like this, Old Yang... No problem!" Lu Qingfeng also chuckled.

Going to school together, fighting in the trenches together, and visiting brothels together... these are the things that forge the firmest revolutionary friendships.

This was a skill he had learned back in the slums. The best way to bond with men was smoking, drinking, and playing... hehehe.

Although they couldn't play together... talking about women together could also bring them closer.

And so, Old Yang grinned lewdly. "Boss Lu, I've heard that women from those two races—especially the Three-Eyed Race—really know how to have a good time. As for the Mo People, I've just never tried them and want to see what it's like..."

"As for the Elf Race, forget it. I can't handle them... completely can't handle them. I don't know why those little bodies of theirs are like vacuum cleaners. Too fierce... my poor lower back..."

As he spoke, he rubbed his lower back with a helpless expression.

Lu Qingfeng allowed certain personnel to go out. There were no foreign women here, so Yang Lei often went out to enjoy himself.

Now he didn't even need to worry about them going out. Lu Qingfeng even planned to build some villas near Green Mountain for the core technical staff to live in.

"Fine... By the way, do you want me to arrange a house for you outside?"

Lu Qingfeng gave him a 'you know what I mean' look.

"That would be great... But Boss Lu, I promise you, nothing will affect my work. Mechas are my greatest passion!" Yang Lei said firmly.

Lu Qingfeng believed him. He had known since he saw the light in Yang Lei's eyes whenever he looked at mechas.

Mechas were his life; women were just the seasoning.

Of course, he still cared about his family, but people... they can't live in the past forever. They have to look forward.

Lu Qingfeng could understand.

"Alright, I trust you, Old Yang. Once the mecha is finished, just notify Miss Lian... Use her DNA."

"Okay, mission guaranteed!"

"Mhm, go get to work then."

"Will do..." Yang Lei hurried back excitedly.

Lu Qingfeng shook his head with a smile and turned to leave the factory.

Outside, Lian Caiyi looked at him with confusion.

"What were you talking about? Keeping secrets from me?"

"Just man talk. It wasn't convenient to say with you there..."

Lian Caiyi glared at him. "I'm curious. Can't you tell me?"

Lu Qingfeng nudged her toward the exit. "This... ahem, he wants women. He can't exactly tell you that, can he? A man's got to have some dignity!"

"Are all you men like this? Just life, work, and women? I heard he still has a wife and kids back on Blue Star!"

Lu Qingfeng said solemnly, "Don't tar everyone with the same brush... Besides, talented people always have their hobbies. He certainly can't go back for now. If he can't go back for his whole life, he can't stay celibate for his wife forever, can he? It could be hundreds of years..."

Lian Caiyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Then why do you never go to entertainment venues? Who are you staying celibate for?"

Hearing this, Lu Qingfeng dazed for a moment as a figure flickered in his mind.

He shook his head. "Let's not talk about that. Let's head back."

With that, he called out, "San Dao, get the car ready!"

"Right away!"

Lian Caiyi stood there watching his back, then suddenly smiled and jogged after him.

"Wait for me..."

...

The next day.

At ten in the morning, a long line formed at the Ax Gang.

There was one man and one woman from over a hundred different races in total.

They found it strange. Why were they called here just to have someone touch their hand for 500 rainbow coins?

But the opportunity was too good to pass up, so they scrambled to sign up.

This Ax Gang was simply a bunch of suckers.

Lu Qingfeng sat at the front of the line, completing each test in a matter of seconds.

As time passed, he had nearly finished the testing.

Soon, the last man, from the Diaoren Race, reached out his hand.

Lu Qingfeng avoided looking at his face, afraid he would burst out laughing.

This race had the Human Race's private organs growing on their faces.

He gripped the hand, and within seconds, he confirmed: no Meridians.

As everyone left, Lu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He went to the third floor and ordered some food. Before long, Lian Caiyi walked in and asked, "How was it?"

"Just as I expected. No Meridians—none of them had any. Only the Human Race has them. It seems Martial Arts can only be practiced by humans. No wonder the Three-Eyed Race said their genes couldn't be developed; I suspect it's precisely because they lack Meridians."

"Mhm... In that case, we can trade with the Intelligent Humans without worry. However, there's one problem. From what I know, the children born to Intelligent Humans are genuine humans. They should have Meridians, right?"

Lu Qingfeng took a sip of wine and narrowed his eyes. "By the time the children grow up and succeed in their practice, do you think I won't be able to suppress them? And besides... will the humans tolerate them? They didn't let the children undergo Cancerous Mutation either; instead, they kill them at birth to cultivate them into a new generation of Intelligent Humans."
