114: The Strange King Zhao

Although Qi Huaiyi still couldn't prove the true relationship between Long Yuan and Prince Fu, he leaked the information that Long Yuan was of royal Bloodline to Prince Zhao.

His Merit was secured, but Long Yuan also entered the royal family's line of sight from then on!

He was speechless with Qi Huaiyi now.

First, this guy sold himself to Geng Yun, Yu Xun, and Sabado, and now he sold himself to Prince Zhao, truly achieving the feat of 'one fish, multiple meals'.

It seems that next time, it will be impossible not to collect some interest from this guy.

After being 'one fish, multiple meals' by Qi Huaiyi, Long Yuan's path to continue being an ordinary Mortal was no longer viable.

What should he do next?

He thought carefully and realized that he had actually anticipated this outcome, but he just didn't expect it to come so soon.

Ever since he detected and Awakened his mental Physique talent, the entire situation's changes were beyond his control as a weak individual.

And when he started working hard to earn money because he didn't want to use the supreme black ring, he inevitably exposed some of his abilities, and these abilities, in the eyes of some discerning people, would accelerate his exposure...

"Actually, there's no need to worry too much, because they only see me as a young Genius with multiple talents right now.

Perhaps they'll be a little surprised, but they're looking at the future, not the present.

If they knew that I was the one who guided Qi Huaiyi and the others to crack Night Hawk's scheme, find the secret passage, and capture that group of Fusang People and Snow Eagle People, as well as my current hidden strength, then they would truly be shocked...

So, I should still be able to lie low for a while..." Long Yuan analyzed objectively.

He couldn't see Prince Zhao now because the Heavenly Dao Eye couldn't capture information from Shuntian Prefecture in the Northern Capital yet.

Therefore, even if he put Prince Zhao on the blacklist, he couldn't track him in real-time.

He could only search through existing data, and soon, he discovered something interesting: Prince Zhao was actually a technology enthusiast.

Not only did he extremely enjoy scientific research, but he also founded the Tiangong Group, recruiting a large number of Geniuses and eccentrics from across the country who loved scientific research...

"Huh? This Prince Zhao is quite interesting!" Long Yuan exclaimed.

From publicly available information, Prince Zhao was very different from many other princes.

He wasn't keen on power, wealth, procreation, and enjoyment.

Instead, he did the opposite, lavishly spending money, recruiting talents, forming research groups, and delving into military technology.

In recent years, he had made considerable achievements in both civilian and military technology Domains...

"How did such an oddball prince appear in Great Ming? Could he also be a Transmigration?" Long Yuan wondered, muttering to himself.

This Prince Zhao was exactly like Long Yuan's diligent self on Earth.

At that time, he was also extremely passionate about studying astrophysics, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

After unremitting efforts, he finally became the youngest expert in the field of astrophysics in China.

However, less than a month after taking office, he became a tragic Transmigration.

Long Yuan had seen many technology enthusiasts like Prince Zhao when he was in China.

These people could strive for a lifetime for a hypothesis, just to obtain a formula or law that conformed to the Universe's rules.

Some people, even if they knew they would be harmed by experimental items, would continue the experiments.

For them, that light of technology was the greatest belief in their hearts.

Even if it required the sacrifice of their lives, they would move forward relentlessly and persevere!

This situation was like many Dao seekers in the Immortal Realm.

They spent their entire lives pursuing the Great Dao in their hearts.

No matter how rugged, dangerous, or torturous the road ahead, they would persist in their search.

Perhaps he would fall at some point, but his path of pursuit was destined to nourish those who came after him, becoming one of their motivations to continue the search!

Their sacrifices were all valuable!

Technology enthusiasts and Dao seekers, seemingly two completely unrelated types of people, gave Long Yuan a sense of déjà vu.

This was also why he speculated whether Prince Zhao might also be a Transmigration from Earth.

However, after carefully reading Prince Zhao's brief experience, Long Yuan overturned his conjecture, because he finally understood why Prince Zhao would embark on such a unique path.

This was related to the influence he received during his youthful studies in Snow Eagle Country and Flying Lion Country!

Among the major countries on Blue Star, Great Ming's technological level is relatively backward, especially in military technology.

However, the three great nations of Snow Eagle Country, Flying Lion Country, and War Bear Country have made significant progress in military technology.

They have developed firearms that can threaten high-level Xuan Practitioners, and they have also invented mechs and established mech combat teams, which are like the steel warriors of Earth's Transformers.

Of course, these mechs are not Transformers, but a type of battle armor, with a Xuan Practitioner hidden inside to control the battle armor's movements.

The cost of such a mech is quite expensive, but its combat power is also extremely terrifying, basically equivalent to a small Xuan Practitioner combat team.

Moreover, a formation composed of multiple mechs has more flexible tactics, and the combat power it can exert will far exceed that of ordinary Xuan Practitioner combat teams.

In addition, these three great nations have also developed gene potions, which help Xuan Practitioners or Mortals break through the human gene lock and transform them into gene humans or gene warriors.

Such warriors, whether in Physique or Martial Skill, will far surpass ordinary people and ordinary Xuan Practitioners, and can exert extremely powerful combat power on the battlefield.

Based solely on these two technological forces, the comprehensive combat power of these three great nations has far surpassed Great Ming!

But why hasn't Great Ming been attacked by them yet?

This question is not difficult to understand.

The key lies with the mutated beasts, especially the large number of marine alien beasts, which makes all countries dare not easily provoke large-scale wars among themselves.

On the one hand, the sea separates the countries, and no country can cross the ocean to attack other countries.

On the other hand, internal wars among the Human Race will inevitably attract the covetousness of alien beasts.

At that time, the side that finally wins with great difficulty will probably also be attacked by alien beasts, becoming a wedding dress for others.

The only threat to Great Ming is War Bear Country, because parts of their borders are adjacent, located in the north, northeast, and northwest of Great Ming.

Therefore, to prevent invasion from War Bear Country, Great Ming has constructed three defense lines across the entire north: high walls and giant cities, guarded by Xuan Practitioner combat teams year-round.

Of course, Great Ming can only be on the defensive; it's impossible to launch an offensive.

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of War Bear Country's military technological strength, the situation in the north has also shown a precarious trend, which is worrying...

Long Yuan naturally wasn't concerned about the northern front now.

He already understood Prince Zhao's experience.

Presumably, Prince Zhao saw the technological power of those great nations after studying abroad, which is why he wanted to lead Great Ming's Geniuses to also take such a path.

It's just a pity that the difficulty of this Dao is far beyond what he could imagine.

Not only were the things created difficult to meet his expectations, but they also often caused many jokes, becoming topics of conversation for others after meals...

"Hehe, Prince Zhao is quite interesting, but your Tiangong Group needs to be careful.

As long as this young master makes a move, your group will collapse!!!" Long Yuan's face revealed a sinister smile.
