113: Chapter 114 The Astonished Scientist

"What is this...?"

Someone groaned in a low, hoarse voice.

"How can a mecha be this flexible? Impossible... We tested it with hundreds of adult men and women—even Formal Warriors. No one could make it move this flexibly. Now it... it's like it's come alive..."

Lu Chen ignored their fuss.

He pulled the sixteen-meter giant sword from the mecha's back.

Then.

He practiced a few sword moves.

Every movement was clean and sharp.

Without any hesitation.

As if carefully considered, yet also like a sudden stroke of Genius.

The feeling was indescribable.

Inside the cockpit connected to the mecha, Luo Nianwei experienced everything from a first-person perspective.

She couldn't help but be as mesmerized as Lu Chen.

She thought.

It would be wonderful if she could go hunting in the wild with Lu Chen while piloting the mecha.

After a while.

Lu Chen disconnected the power.

The hatch opened.

They stepped out from inside.

The scientists' expressions still looked incredibly dazed.

They couldn't believe everything they had seen.

Huang Mengsong was the first to find his voice.

"Young Master Lu Chen, as expected of a peerless Genius. Your first practical operation is even more professional than the professionals."

Lu Chen liked this kind of praise.

He tilted his head.

His expression was expectant.

As if saying, continue.

The scientists continued.

They showered him with praise for three consecutive minutes.

When they finally stopped.

The corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch.

They had a new understanding of this Genius's thick skin.

Then Lu Chen asked.

"Can this big guy officially enter the battlefield? If it's ready, I want to pilot it to the wilderness for hunting."

The scientists immediately beamed with joy.

This was great.

No one had dared to test its performance in actual combat yet.

Huang Mengsong was so excited he started to stutter.

"Young Master Lu Chen, are you sure? Of course you can, it's ready for hunting right away. Everything has been prepared for a long time. We've just been lacking a pilot."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Good. We'll go tomorrow."

"Good, good, that's wonderful!"

After bidding farewell to Huang Mengsong and the others.

Lu Chen turned to look at Luo Nianwei.

"Madam, do you want to go hunting with me?"

Luo Nianwei nodded repeatedly.

Sparks of excitement flashed in her eyes.

Lu Chen smiled.

"Then it's a deal. Tomorrow, we will enter the wilderness."

Next, they shared dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant.

Ending this romantic night.

Afterward, Lu Chen dropped Luo Nianwei off at her villa.

Then he returned home.

When he walked in.

Song Yue couldn't help but look at him strangely.

Why did he come back so quickly?

Her heart sank.

Could it be that my perfect son... has a deficiency in that area?

No, no, no—how could that be?

His father is excellent—the son definitely won't be lacking, right, right?

Lu Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Mom, what's with that look?"

Song Yue coughed awkwardly.

"Son, weren't you out on a date with Luo Nianwei? Why are you back?"

Lu Chen was speechless.

"If I don't come home, where should I go?"

"Then... didn't you book a hotel or something?"

"Why would I go to a hotel? I just went out to walk the streets and get some fresh air. Anyway, I have something to ask Great-Grandfather. I'll stop talking to you now, see you later, Mom."

Watching his retreating back.

Song Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The worry in her heart dissipated.

Then she became somewhat annoyed.

This stinky brat.

She wanted a grandson—didn't he understand?

She should probably have Lu Yuan talk to him.

Then she sighed again.

She felt even more annoyed.

That scientific research maniac hadn't come home yet.

Song Yue was all alone.

Feeling both frustrated and angry.

On the other side.

Lu Chen was about to knock on Lu Daohong's door.

A deep, aged voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Lu Chen pushed the door and entered.

Lu Daohong was sitting in a chair reading a book.

Seeing him enter.

He looked up.

With a gentle smile, he said.

"Ending your seclusion so quickly, it seems you have made some gains."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Great-Grandfather, I want to ask you something."

Lu Daohong closed the book.

Curiosity couldn't help but show in his eyes.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Do you know what Realm comes after B-rank?"

Lu Daohong raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He had been prepared.

He thought the question Lu Chen wanted to ask.

Might be about Elemental Skills, the D-rank Breakthrough method, or details of the Trial Tower's trials.

But he hadn't expected it to be this question.

He leaned back with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"We actually don't know much about the Realms after B-rank."

He said slowly.

"From the clues we've found in Ancient Ruins and Secret Realms, as well as the trial settings of the Trial Tower, there is indeed a higher Realm after B-rank, and it is called A-rank."

"But besides that, we haven't discovered much more knowledge about this Realm. Perhaps the Chairman or Vice Chairman knows more than I do."

"However, one thing is certain—just like E-rank to D-rank, the Realm after B-rank is absolutely a completely different Domain. It should be related to the Spiritual Vein."

Lu Chen nodded.

He had suspected this for a long time.

After all.

The human body has limits.

And the Spiritual Vein space is too mysterious.

Only through it is it possible to lead to a higher level of the path of life.

So my guess was right.

Lu Chen thought to himself.

There shouldn't be much information about A-rank in the Wasteland.

Maybe the answer lies within that Secret Realm.

But before actively exposing his cultivation.

He needed to ensure he had enough strength to handle any situation.
