Chapter 360: The Guest Takes Over the Host (Five-in-One)
by SunflowerSu Feng, the patriarch who was currently entertaining everyone, was also stunned by this scene, completely unsure of what was happening.
Deputy Clan Leader Su was dumbfounded when he saw Commander Su Ming take a seat at the table, his chopsticks nearly falling onto the table.
Su Tianhao’s heart skipped a beat, and he had an inexplicably bad feeling.
At this moment, Su Yao also noticed Commander Su Ming, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. This main table was not for just anyone.
Even family members had rules; for example, Su Ze, the grandson of Deputy Clan Leader Su, had not taken a seat at the table.
Su Yuan, who was sitting next to Su Yao, had a bewildered expression. He had no impression of Commander Su Ming at all and was full of confusion, completely unable to figure out who this person was. Grandfather had actually brought him to the table.
Just then, Su Zhentian also saw Commander Su Ming being pulled over and was startled. He quickly asked,
“Father, Commander Su Ming, what happened to him?”
“Damn it, how dare you ask me that!”
Su Mulong was furious when he heard Su Zhentian’s words and retorted angrily.
Su Zhentian immediately fell silent.
Commander Su Ming also looked helpless at this scene.
After scolding Su Zhentian, Su Mulong turned to Farsad and Berudo, who were discussing something in low voices, and said in a very good mood,
“My two old friends, quickly look, who is this?”
Farsad and Berudo stopped their conversation when they heard Su Mulong call them, then looked up.
When they saw Commander Su Ming, both of them showed very surprised expressions.
Farsad spoke in astonishment,
“This, isn’t this the young man who was awarded at the council that day?”
“Yes, it’s him!”
Berudo still had a very deep impression of Commander Su Ming. At the award ceremony, Commander Su Ming stood in the center, right next to Major General Vickers.
“Haha, that’s right! Let me introduce him to you, this is my great-grandson, Commander Su Ming!”
Su Mulong introduced him with a loud laugh.
“Goodness, you old worm, you can really endure! At the council award ceremony that day, you really sat still, pretending not to know him, and didn’t go find him afterward!”
Berudo was also stunned, then reacted and scolded Su Mulong.
“Exactly, I thought it was strange at the time that this young man also had the surname Su. Looking at the entire Federation, besides your Su Family, who else could cultivate such an outstanding talent?”
Farsad also followed with a complaint.
“Haha, this is all a misunderstanding. I really didn’t recognize him that day. I only found out today that he is my great-grandson!”
Su Mulong explained with a smile.
Su Yao immediately reacted when she heard them mention the council and asked with interest,
“Grandfather, is Cousin Su Ming from the Thirteenth Corps?”
“From the Thirteenth Corps? Isn’t he from the First Legion’s Light of Hope Laboratory?”
Su Yiyang was completely confused.
“Are you from the Thirteenth Corps?”
Su Zhentian asked even more in astonishment.
“Hehe, yes.”
Commander Su Ming forced a smile, nodded, and admitted that he was from the Thirteenth Corps.
Everyone gasped.
At this moment, Farsad looked at the major’s military uniform on Commander Su Ming and asked very puzzled,
“Brother Su Ming, I remember you were already a major when you were on the council platform. You must have made a lot of military achievements during the expedition, right? Why are you still a major? Did you encounter any problems when reporting your military merits?”
“That’s right, if they’re holding up your military merits, tell us, and we’ll help you clear it up!”
Berudo also chimed in.
Commander Su Ming was also stunned when he heard their words, not expecting them to ask this.
Su Mulong then said to Commander Su Ming,
“Commander Su Ming, let me formally introduce you. Farsad! The boss of Fallenka Interstellar Heavy Industry, one of the seven major arms dealers of the Federation, and a senior honorary member of the Federation Council. Berudo! The boss of Ximake Interstellar Heavy Industry, one of the seven major arms dealers of the Federation, and a senior honorary member of the Federation Council! They both have great influence in the council and the military! If you encounter any problems or difficulties, don’t hide them, just tell them!”
“Your Grandfather is right, just say it, don’t worry!”
Berudo and the other person said kindly.
“Thank you for your concern, Lord Farsad and Lord Berudo. My military merits have already been reported, there’s no problem, it’s all good!”
Commander Su Ming replied gratefully.
“No problem is good. Then, may I ask, what is your current military rank?”
Farsad asked with great interest.
Whoosh!
Instantly, Su Mulong and the others’ gazes all focused on Commander Su Ming.
Commander Su Ming suddenly felt a headache. Although reporting his military rank was not a problem, he found it difficult.
Today’s banquet was for his eldest cousin. Wouldn’t speaking up now be equivalent to the guest taking over the host?
“How about, let’s not.”
Commander Su Ming said with difficulty.
Seeing that Commander Su Ming was reluctant to speak, Su Mulong asked,
“Is it against regulations, so you can’t say?”
“That’s not the case.”
Commander Su Ming shook his head and replied.
“Then don’t worry and just say it. Everyone here is family, it’s fine.”
Su Mulong comforted Commander Su Ming.
“That’s right, let’s hear it.”
“There’s no one else here!”
Farsad and Berudo asked with great interest.
Su Yao, Belise, Gunnite, and others also had their eyes fixed on Commander Su Ming.
Commander Su Ming was pressed by everyone and had no choice but to reply with a forced smile.
“Brigadier General!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire main table fell into a dead silence, as if time had frozen at that moment.
Su Yuan and the other younger generation were all startled.
Su Zhentian’s eyes widened, utterly shocked.
Su Feng and Su Yiyang looked at each other, appearing at a loss.
Su Tianhao’s face instantly turned as black as charcoal, and the muscles in his face twitched involuntarily.
Farsad and Berudo also looked at each other.
“Commander Su Ming, are you really a Brigadier General?”
Su Mulong took a deep breath, suppressing his surprise, and asked.
“Yes.”
Commander Su Ming nodded calmly.
“Commander Su Ming, please don’t joke around. How could it be a Brigadier General? It’s impossible to be promoted that quickly!”
Su Zhentian felt as if he was dreaming.
At this moment, Su Mulong angrily scolded Su Zhentian,
“Damn it, you don’t even know what’s going on with your own grandson. What are you doing all day long?”
Su Zhentian was instantly stunned by Su Mulong’s scolding and didn’t know how to respond.
Commander Su Ming’s expression suddenly became very interesting when he heard Su Mulong scolding Su Zhentian. Wasn’t this what he had scolded his own father with back then?
He finally knew who his Grandfather inherited from. As expected of father and son, not only are their temperaments identical, but they also scold people in the exact same way.
After Su Mulong finished scolding Su Zhentian, he immediately turned to Commander Su Ming and asked seriously,
“Then when will you go for advanced studies?”
“Sometime soon, I’m waiting for the notice.”
Commander Su Ming explained to Su Mulong.
“Then wouldn’t that be the same period as Su Yuan?”
“Probably.”
“Good, this is great! You and Su Yuan must help each other.”
Su Mulong said to Commander Su Ming very happily.
“Okay.”
Commander Su Ming nodded.
Su Mulong then turned to Su Yuan and said,
“Su Yuan, you must learn more from your cousin in the future. This is your role model, you know what I mean.”
Patriarch Su Feng was about to say something for his grandson, but Su Mulong glared at him, forcing him to shut his mouth.
In fact, Su Mulong knew better than anyone that Su Yuan’s promotion to Brigadier General had some water in it; some of the military merits he received were given to him by Su Yao.
They thought they had done it seamlessly, but in fact, those old fogies in the military and the council had already seen through it, they just turned a blind eye out of respect for him.
But Commander Su Ming’s situation was different; he had not received any support, and his merits were obtained from the expedition, which were all hard-earned military achievements.
That’s why he insisted that Su Yuan must learn from Commander Su Ming.
“Yes.”
Su Yuan responded with a somewhat unnatural expression.
At this moment, Farsad and Berudo also recovered from their astonishment.
Farsad quickly asked,
“Su Mulong, how old is your great-grandson this year?”
“How old are you?”
Su Mulong turned to Commander Su Ming and asked.
“20 years old.”
Commander Su Ming hesitated before replying.
“Good heavens, promoted to Brigadier General at 20, the youngest general in history!”
Berudo’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Commander Su Ming differently.
Everyone at the main table was even more shocked.
Su Yao became increasingly interested in her cousin. How strong must one be to be promoted to Brigadier General at 20?
One must know that she had been serving in the most dangerous front lines and only reached Brigadier General in her thirties.
“Damn it, haven’t you heard that heroes have emerged from a young age since ancient times?”
Su Mulong replied with a laugh.
“Well said. By the way, Brother Su Ming, are you married?”
Berudo asked directly.
“Uh, no.”
Commander Su Ming was also surprised, then replied.
“Hey, old friend, why are you asking that?”
Su Mulong looked at Berudo with a smile.
“Nothing, I just thought that Belise and Commander Su Ming are not far apart in age, so they might have a chance to learn from each other!”
Berudo said to Su Mulong with a smile.
Su Yuan’s expression was also a little surprised when he heard Berudo’s words.
Belise was Berudo’s beloved daughter, and also his sister’s best friend. She was outstanding in terms of appearance, talent, and family background.
The number of people who wanted to get close to Belise could line up from here to outside the city.
Their family had hinted to Berudo many times if there were any young talents he admired.
But Berudo never responded, always finding various excuses to prevaricate, but today he uncharacteristically took the initiative to set them up.
This clearly showed that he had taken a liking to Commander Su Ming.
Su Mulong heard this and said with a laughing scold,
“Old man, you finally let go!”
“Look at you, I’ve always been willing, and it doesn’t hurt for young people to interact more.”
Berudo replied with a beaming smile.
“Alright, Commander Su Ming, you can learn more from Belise when you have time.”
Su Mulong said to Commander Su Ming in a very good mood.
“Yes.”
Although Commander Su Ming had a bit of a headache, he still knew his place and responded politely.
“Good, today is truly too happy!”
After Su Mulong finished speaking, he stood up directly.
Everyone looked at Su Mulong in astonishment, only to see him walk directly onto the podium, clap his hands, and shout at the top of his voice,
“Everyone quiet down, everyone listen to me for a moment!”
Whoosh!
In an instant, the noisy hall immediately fell silent, and everyone’s gaze focused on Su Mulong.
“Damn it, I’m really happy today. My Su Family’s younger generation has produced two Brigadier Generals, one is my great-grandson Su Yuan, and the other is my great-grandson Commander Su Ming!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire venue erupted.
“Did I hear that right? The Su Family has produced two Brigadier Generals?”
“No way?”
“Who is this Commander Su Ming?”
“Wait, this Commander Su Ming sounds so familiar, like the second prize winner of the Three School League. Is he also from the Su Family?”
At this moment, Su Yao and the others were also stunned, and said in a daze,
“Is Commander Su Ming a Brigadier General?”
“Su Yuan, Zhao Ning, do you know?”
“How would I know? How could my son be a Brigadier General?”
Su Yuan was trembling a little. He had never seen a general-level officer in his life, and now his son was a Brigadier General.
Zhao Ning was also startled. Although she had guessed something, she never expected Commander Su Ming to be a Brigadier General.
That was a person she never even dared to imagine before.
“Everyone quiet!”
Su Mulong shouted at the boisterous guests.
The noise in the venue gradually subsided.
“Today, all the distinguished guests are present, so everyone can be my witness! I am now announcing two things. The first is that my Su Family will establish an additional position of Deputy Patriarch, to be held by my son, Su Zhentian!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Yao and the others immediately erupted in excitement, their faces filled with joy.
“Father has become the Deputy Patriarch!”
“That’s great!”
There’s a saying that goes, “When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.” With Su Zhentian returning to the family as Deputy Patriarch, the status of Su Yao and others would also rise accordingly.
Of course, part of the reason Su Zhentian was able to become Deputy Patriarch was that the Old Patriarch wanted him to return to the family.
Another part of the reason was thanks to Su Ming, somewhat like a mother gaining status through her son.
Of course, while some were happy, others were naturally displeased.
Su Mulong had quite a few wives, and most of his half-siblings had been separated from the main family and established their own households. They were also present at the banquet.
Upon hearing that Su Zhentian was appointed Deputy Patriarch, their expressions turned very sour.
At the main table, Patriarch Su Feng and Deputy Clan Leader Su fell silent after hearing their father’s announcement.
Su Tianhao’s hand, placed under the table, involuntarily clenched into a fist, his knuckles cracking.
As for Su Zhentian, he was filled with mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. The pent-up frustration that had been accumulating in his chest for years finally dissipated.
At this moment, Su Mulong addressed the guests.
“Now for the second announcement. I, Su Mulong, have always kept my word and treated all my children equally. I previously stated that whoever could be promoted to brigadier general, as long as they collected the materials for a Pseudo V-generation Mecha, the family would unconditionally produce a Pseudo V-generation Mecha – Yu Lei Shen for them! I now officially announce that the family will reserve one production slot each for Su Yuan and Su Ming.”
Upon hearing Su Mulong’s words, Su Ming was also overjoyed. He hadn’t expected such a good thing.
Clap, clap!
Everyone present applauded enthusiastically.
“Awesome, two production slots!”
“Oh my god! A Pseudo V-generation Mecha! There’s simply no channel to buy one.”
“This is the rhythm of soaring.”
“Alright, thank you all for witnessing. Please continue to enjoy your meal.”
After Su Mulong finished his announcement, he stepped down from the stage and returned to the main table.
Su Ming immediately thanked Su Mulong.
“Thank you, Grandfather!”
“We’re all family, no need for thanks! Actually, under normal circumstances, I should have directly prepared a Pseudo V-generation Mecha – Yu Lei Shen for you and Su Yuan. However, the materials for a V Generation Mecha are simply too scarce. The mining in the Three Great Forbidden Zones has been very unsuccessful in recent years, and all the Pseudo V-generation Mecha produced from the hard-won materials have been forcibly requisitioned by the Federation. Therefore, you can only find the materials yourselves.”
Su Mulong said to Su Ming in a deep voice.
“What your Grandfather said is correct. The materials for a V Generation Mecha are very scarce now. Not only can the Lei Shen Group not produce them, but neither can we.”
Berudo and the other person agreed.
“Understood, I will collect the materials myself.”
Su Ming hadn’t expected the situation to be so bad.
“Take your time collecting, don’t be too anxious! These materials are not easy to gather. Producing a Pseudo V-generation Mecha requires a large amount of Level 5 Titanium Chromite. You should know that Level 5 Titanium Chromite is sold by the gram on the market, but the quantity needed for one mecha is calculated in tons. You can imagine its value. The reason your Grandfather left the family back then was because he lost a large batch of Level 5 Titanium Chromite.”
Su Mulong said to Su Ming in a deep voice.
“I understand.”
Su Ming nodded seriously in response.
Su Mulong then continued.
“And it’s not just Level 5 Titanium Chromite that’s difficult to obtain for producing a Pseudo V-generation Mecha; the most troublesome material is Eternal Metal!”
“Pseudo V-generation Mecha also needs Eternal Metal?”
Su Ming asked in surprise.
“Of course it needs to be added, it just depends on whether you add a lot or a little. Anyway, the more materials you collect, the stronger the mecha produced will be! I will have Butler Xilun send you the specific material list.”
Su Mulong explained to Su Ming.
“Okay!”
Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s head ached even more.
He did have a bottle of Eternal Metal, but the quantity was pitifully small.
At this moment, Su Zhentian, after a long pause, spoke.
“Father, I would like to apply for two Fourth Generation Mecha-Thunder Control.”
“For whom?”
“One for Major Su Rui, and one for Su Ming.”
“Then you can take one. Su Ming, you should have your own Four-Generation Mecha, right?”
Su Mulong turned to look at Su Ming and asked.
Under normal circumstances, someone who could be promoted to brigadier general would definitely have a good Fourth Generation Mecha.
“Yes, but it was damaged and is currently being repaired by the military.”
Su Ming replied truthfully to Su Mulong.
“Don’t bother repairing it. Those guys in the military might fix your mecha, but the materials they use definitely won’t be good, it’ll just be a normal repair. Have your mecha transported back. The family will help you extensively modify and strengthen it. We’ll definitely use the best materials for our own people.”
Su Mulong also didn’t think highly of the military’s repairs, so he directly told Su Ming.
“Okay, Grandfather.”
Su Ming was also very surprised, but he immediately agreed.
Su Mulong then proceeded to arrange.
“Xilun, later, add Su Ming to the family group. Also, from today onwards, Su Ming will enjoy the family’s general’s subsidy and a series of benefits!”
“Yes, Master!”
Xilun responded respectfully.
Su Ming was even more surprised when he heard this, that there were even welfare benefits.
“Also, Su Ming, if you encounter any trouble outside in the future, just mention the Lei Shen Group. The family will handle any problems for you.”
Su Mulong continued to instruct Su Ming.
“Okay!”
Su Ming nodded.
“Alright, that’s all for now. It’s rare to be this happy today, so everyone drink to your heart’s content. Don’t leave tonight, everyone stay here!”
Su Mulong picked up his wine glass and said heartily.
“Good!”
Berudo and the others responded with smiles.
Late at night.
In a luxurious room with classical patterned carpets on the floor, black vintage sofas, world-famous paintings hanging on the walls, and a carved rosewood bed in the corner.
Su Ming stood awkwardly in front of the vintage sofa, with Su Yuan standing beside him, at a loss.
At this moment, Zhao Ning sat on a vintage armchair, looking at Su Ming with a very serious expression.
Su Ming’s head ached terribly as he looked at his mother’s anger. It seemed tonight would be very difficult to get through. This suppression from the bloodline was simply unresolvable.
“Su Ming, you are truly getting bolder and bolder, daring to lie to us like this. I just thought those badges didn’t look fake at all.”
Zhao Ning reprimanded him with a stern face, very annoyed.
“Exactly, this kid is really dishonest now!”
Su Yuan timidly echoed.
“Uh, I just didn’t want you to worry.”
Su Ming replied, feeling a bit guilty.
“Aren’t we even more worried now? You really went on the expedition?”
Zhao Ning asked with concern.
“I did, but I’m back now and fine, see how well I am!”
Su Ming quickly said.
“You really scared us to death. Those Imperial Army soldiers are so brutal.”
Zhao Ning’s face instantly turned pale at the thought.
“It was alright.”
Su Ming replied awkwardly.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Thump, thump~
Upon hearing it, Su Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ning then stood up, pulled Su Ming to sit on the sofa, and then said.
“The door’s not locked, come in!”
The door was then opened, and Su Zhentian, Su Yao, Su Ying, and the others all walked in.
“Grandpa, you’re all here.”
Su Ming quickly stood up from the sofa and asked.
“En! You’re all here!”
Su Zhentian nodded in response.
“Father!”
Su Yuan and Zhao Ning also quickly responded.
At this moment, Su Zhentian walked in front of Su Ming, raised his hand, and heavily patted Su Ming’s shoulder, saying with great emotion.
“Damn it, you really are something, kid. I was shocked today. It still feels unreal. You’re actually a brigadier general now. I fought my whole life and never got promoted that high.”
“Just good luck.”
Su Ming replied humbly.
“Su Ming, you are too modest. You are the youngest brigadier general in the history of the Federation. You have a bright future ahead of you!”
Su Bin immediately complimented him.
He used to be very unconvinced by Su Ming, but now Su Ming had grown to a point he could never reach, only look up to.
So Su Bin unhesitatingly chose to flatter Su Ming.
“You flatter me.”
Su Ming smiled and responded after hearing Su Bin’s words.
Although Su Ming didn’t like Su Bin and knew his character, there’s a saying, “Don’t hit a smiling face.” So he didn’t bother to argue with him.
Su Zhentian said with great satisfaction.
“I never thought! The ideal I failed to achieve was finally realized by you. But this is good too. The future will definitely be the world of you young people. You all must learn well from Su Ming!”
“Okay!”
Everyone responded in unison.
Meanwhile, in another room.
Patriarch Su Feng, Deputy Clan Leader Su, and Vice Patriarch Su Tianhao sat around an exquisite carved wooden table.
Su Tianhao smiled and said to Su Feng.
“I say, Big Brother, Father is truly biased. He quietly brought Su Zhentian back to the family and even gave him the position of Deputy Patriarch. I feel like he’s up to no good, don’t let it affect you later! And you said this promotion banquet today was clearly prepared for Su Yuan, but in the end, all the limelight was stolen by that kid Su Ming! You say they didn’t come home early, didn’t come home late, but they just had to come back at this time. I think it was intentional.”
Su Feng’s expression also turned very unpleasant after hearing Su Tianhao’s words.
He had been busy preparing this promotion banquet, but Su Ming had stolen his thunder, taking all the attention.
Although he understood Su Zhentian’s temperament and knew he wasn’t aware of this matter, his heart was definitely uncomfortable that the banquet was disrupted.
However, Su Feng also knew that the most displeased person was Su Tianhao.
Su Zhentian’s return would definitely not be over with him.
This guy just wanted to provoke him and use his hand to deal with Su Zhentian.
Thinking of this, Su Feng then said calmly.
“I unconditionally agree with any decision Father makes. As for Su Ming stealing the limelight, it’s not a big deal. Would I, an elder, argue with a junior? Moreover, our family has gained such an excellent genius. This is a good thing.”
“Good, in that case, consider it unsaid. I’m leaving!”
Su Tianhao’s face immediately darkened upon hearing Su Feng’s words, and he then got up and left.
After Su Tianhao left, Deputy Clan Leader Su looked at Su Feng and said.
“Big Brother, I didn’t expect Father to bring Zhentian back home, and even give him the position of Deputy Patriarch.”
“No matter, Zhentian’s return won’t affect anything. He’s been wandering outside, and the Thunder Group he founded is merely a second-rate company, not very capable. The only one we need to pay attention to is Su Ming. Although he disrupted my grandson’s banquet today, to be fair, this guy is not to be trifled with. To survive the expedition and even be promoted to brigadier general, he’s quite a character!”
“You mean?”
“Let’s try to win him over first.”
Su Feng said in a deep voice.
“Okay!”
Deputy Clan Leader Su nodded in response.
The next morning.
Quiet sunlight streamed through the glazed windows, spilling into the room.
Su Ming lay fast asleep on the soft bed when he suddenly heard an unusual movement. He immediately opened his eyes wide and sat up.
“Who!”
He saw two rows of beautiful maids in red qipaos, carrying clothes, basins, towels, and toiletries, standing on either side of the large bed.
They almost laughed when they saw Su Ming’s strong reaction, but they held it in and respectfully called out.
“Young Master!”
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that these must be here to serve him as he got up.
“Young master, we are here to help you change and wash up!” The maid in front of him said with a smile.
“No need, I’ll do it myself!” Su Ming quickly refused.
“But, this is our job.” The maids said with some difficulty.
“It’s fine, I’ll do it myself, you just put them down!” Su Ming said with a very firm attitude.
“Yes, Young Master.” The maids present looked at each other and could only helplessly put down their things and withdraw.
A moment later, Su Ming walked out of the room and headed towards the outside of the castle.
Not long after, Su Ming arrived at the observation deck.
The leisure table on the observation deck was filled with various sumptuous breakfast items, including caviar, high-quality bread, and exquisite vegetable salads.
He saw Miss Su Yao wearing a black lace cheongsam, sitting by the leisure table like a night elf. The black lace cheongsam perfectly accentuated her figure and curves, and her long, fair legs were faintly visible.
Belise, sitting to Miss Su Yao’s left, was wearing a cream-colored long dress with elegant patterns embroidered on the outermost lace, which perfectly matched her innocent face. Gunnite, on the right, was wearing a white shirt and a black custom suit, leisurely sipping coffee.
As for Su Ze and the others, they were sitting at the leisure table next to Miss Su Yao, while Su Bin and Su Qiu were seated at the very edge, as if they couldn’t quite fit in.
At this moment, Su Ze saw Su Ming approaching and enthusiastically raised his hand to greet him.
“Su Ming, over here!” Su Ming thought for a second, then walked towards Su Ze and the others, greeting them.
“You’re all here.”
“Sit down, have some breakfast, and let’s chat.” Su Ze said enthusiastically.
“Okay!” Su Ming then sat down next to Su Ze.
At this moment, Belise, sitting next to Miss Su Yao, couldn’t help but glance at Su Ming. However, she had no intention of making small talk with Su Ming; she was merely curious.
At this moment, the custom Fourth Generation Mecha, Dark Fang, flying high in the distance, circled in the sky and then elegantly landed on the metal platform on the lawn.
Click!
The cockpit opened.
Su Yuan jumped down and walked directly towards the observation deck.
Su Ming was also a little surprised to see this scene; training had started so early.
Soon, Su Yuan arrived at the observation deck. He sat down opposite Miss Su Yao and complained discontentedly.
“My Dark Fang Mecha still isn’t quite right after fine-tuning; it always feels like something is missing. Sister, could you lend me your Thunder God to try out? I really want to experience a Pseudo V-generation Mecha.”
Su Ming couldn’t help but look at Miss Su Yao when he heard Su Yuan’s words.
Miss Su Yao coldly refused.
“No, prematurely exposing yourself to more advanced mechas that you cannot possess can easily lead to a distorted mindset, or even a mental block.”
After hearing Miss Su Yao’s words, Su Ming secretly praised her, thinking that his elder cousin was indeed very clear-headed.
“Alright then!” Su Yuan was quite disappointed when Miss Su Yao refused.
At this moment, Su Ze asked with great curiosity.
“Su Ming, your Mecha should be very good too, right?”
“It’s alright.”
“Can we see it?”
“Uh, that might be a problem. My Mecha is damaged.” Su Ming said.
At this moment, Miss Su Yao, hearing the conversation between Su Ming and Su Ze, spoke coldly.
“Didn’t Grandfather say he would fix it for you? Haven’t you transferred it yet?”
“Not yet, I’ll make a call and ask.” Su Ming almost forgot about this matter, then raised his wristband and tried to connect to Master Acala’s communication.
A few seconds later, the communication successfully connected.
“Commander Su Ming, is there anything you need?”
“Master Acala, are you responsible for repairing my Mecha?”
“Yes, but your Mecha is severely damaged, and all the parts are from the Imperial Army, making them difficult to find. It will probably take some time to repair.” Master Acala explained apologetically to Su Ming.
“It’s fine, you don’t need to repair my Mecha for now.”
“Ah? No need to repair it? Are you sure? Military repairs are free, you know?”
“I’m sure. Can you find someone to help me transport the Mecha to Starlight City, L1 District, Su Family?” Su Ming asked politely.
“No problem, I’ll arrange for personnel to transport it for you right away. Please wait a moment.” Master Acala readily agreed.
“Thank you.” Su Ming then hung up the communication.
Su Ze said to Su Ming with a smile.
“Su Ming, I’m getting more and more excited about your Mecha!”
“There’s nothing to be excited about, it can’t compare to your Mechas.” Su Ming shook his head and replied.
“We don’t believe you. You’re definitely being modest again.” Su Ze replied teasingly.
“Exactly!” Many people present echoed.
“Alright, if you don’t mind wasting time, just wait here.” Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
“Not a waste, we’ll wait patiently.” Su Ze replied with a smile.
Although Miss Su Yao and the others didn’t say anything, none of them left; they all waited quietly.
More than three hours later.
Su Ming and the others were still sitting on the observation deck, waiting for the Mecha to be delivered.
At this moment, Su Mulong walked over, chatting and laughing with Berudo and Farsad, while Su Feng and Su Zhentian followed behind.
“Grandfather!”
“Lord Berudo!” Everyone stood up and greeted them.
“No need for so much formality, but why are so many of you gathered here?” Su Mulong asked curiously.
“Grandfather, we are waiting for Su Ming’s Mecha to be transported here. We want to see his Mecha.” Su Ze respectfully replied.
“Oh, I see. How much longer until it arrives?” Su Mulong and the others immediately became interested.
“It should be soon.” Su Ming replied, somewhat unsure.
Just then, a massive special transport vehicle drove in from a distance.
A giant mechanical sealed box was placed on the transport vehicle.
“It’s here!” Su Ze said with a smile.
“Good, let’s go and see.” Su Mulong said with his hands behind his back.
“Alright! I’m also quite curious about which company your great-grandson’s Mecha is from.” Berudo and the others replied with a smile.
So everyone left the observation deck and came to the metal platform that had risen from the lawn. And under everyone’s guidance, the transport vehicle also unloaded the mechanical sealed box onto the platform.
Su Mulong waved his hand, and a subordinate stepped forward, pressed the button on the mechanical sealed box, and then hastily retreated.
Beep beep!
As the warning sound rang out, the giant mechanical sealed box automatically split open.
Immediately, the heavily damaged Slayer appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“This…” Su Ze and the others were dumbfounded the moment they saw the Slayer.
Miss Su Yao’s cold eyes also showed a hint of surprise. She walked straight forward with Belise and Gunnite.
“How tragic, the left leg is completely severed.” Gunnite said gravely.
“It’s not just the left leg; the entire Mecha is covered in scars, and even the armor has melted and deformed. To what extent must it have been fought?” Belise exclaimed.
“Look at the spray paint on its shoulder.” Su Ze said, taking a deep breath.
Everyone heard Su Ze’s words, looked closely, and were instantly shocked, discussing in amazement.
“Three moons, three stars!”
“I’m not mistaken, am I? He has more moons than Big Sister.” Su Mulong looked at the Slayer in front of him, his brows tightly furrowed. This Mecha looked so familiar to him.
Then Su Mulong suddenly realized, wasn’t this the Mecha that defeated the Pseudo V Generation Mecha Golden Judge?
In fact, Su Mulong had also planted many informants in the Dark Star Empire. The video data they sent to Su Mulong included scenes of Su Ming fighting Korgis.
He immediately asked Su Ming.
“Su Ming! Was it you who destroyed that Pseudo V-generation Mecha in the Dark Star Empire?”
“Grandfather, how did you know?” Su Ming looked at Su Mulong in surprise.
“Damn it, I was right! This is indeed the one from the video that fought Korgis.” Su Mulong said excitedly.
Su Ming was also very surprised to hear Su Mulong’s words, not expecting that his Grandfather had even this intelligence. The methods of these magnates were truly astonishing.
However, Su Ming did not know that sometimes these magnates could obtain intelligence from within the Empire more easily than the Federation.
Upon hearing Su Mulong’s words, everyone looked at Su Ming, speaking in shock.
“You’re the one who used a Fourth Generation Mecha to destroy a Pseudo V-generation Mecha?”
“Yes.” Su Ming coughed and replied.
Su Yuan and the others were dumbfounded; this was too incredible.
If it weren’t for the facts before their eyes, they certainly wouldn’t believe it.
Miss Su Yao rarely showed a surprised expression, looking at her cousin. To fight a Pseudo V-generation Mecha with a Fourth Generation Mecha, how strong must one be?
“It’s such a shame that Korgis didn’t die!” Su Ze said with a sigh.
“There’s nothing that can be done about it. I even knocked him into a star, who knew he could still escape.” Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
Berudo also smiled and said to Su Mulong.
“Old friend, your great-grandson is simply a monster!”
“That’s right, I’m even a little jealous.” Farsad said with a smile.
“Haha, jealousy is useless! Let’s not talk about that anymore, Su Ming, I’ll take you to the underground factory to choose and modify a Fourth Generation Mecha configuration.” Su Mulong said very happily.
“Ah? I can even choose?” Su Ming was also very surprised.
“Custom Mecha, what does custom mean? It means whatever you like, that’s what we customize!” Su Mulong explained to Su Ming.
“Understood.” Su Ming was slightly shocked after hearing Su Mulong’s words. As expected of one of the seven major arms dealers, their confidence was truly abundant.
His Fourth Generation Mecha was still snatched from the Imperial Army and modified; it wasn’t something he legitimately acquired himself.
Su Ming remembered very clearly how difficult it was to get a super neural device back then; there were no channels at all, let alone the option to choose components freely.
“Stand still, everyone.” After Su Mulong finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.
Immediately, the metal platform beneath everyone’s feet began to descend.
Su Ming paused slightly and asked.
“Grandfather, the underground factory you mentioned, it wouldn’t happen to be down there, would it?”
“Exactly! The Lei Shen Group’s Mecha production factory is underground in the L District. Today, I’ll give you a good tour.” Su Mulong said proudly.
At this moment, the metal platform rapidly descended. Along the way, Su Ming clearly saw layers of armored isolation.
Approximately a few minutes later.
The metal platform landed at the bottom, and the surrounding space suddenly opened up.
Su Ming and the others appeared in a huge underground hangar. Inside the hangar, various models of Mechas were parked, with the most striking being an entire row of Fourth Generation Mecha-Thunder Control, which looked incredibly impressive from a distance.
However, Su Ming’s mood at this moment was a bit mixed. So many Four-Generation Mechas were sitting here gathering dust, while when they embarked on their expedition, there were hardly any Four-Generation Mechas available.
Yet these magnates held onto a large number of them, which was truly a bit ironic.
And he himself was one of them; Su Ming didn’t even know what to say.
