It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains? - Page 413

So I have to do it myself, and I hope to help in any way I can.

Everyone's well-being is the real good, and he doesn't want to see Pan Feng fall into any vicious circle.

"Cough cough!"

While he was thinking, a cough interrupted his train of thought.

Both of them looked a little embarrassed - Gu Yi was covered in dust and looked like he was dying from exhaustion.

Xia Wuyou was not much better off. The most surprising thing was that the "Suwei" suit she was wearing had several damages.

The smoke and dust in the field gradually dissipated, revealing large and small holes of varying depths and a mess of wreckage, which were obviously caused by the previous confrontation.

Gu Yi's small mecha "Mingshi" remained seated, lying quietly in the center of the training ground.

This is a manifestation of operational overload, which is enough to show how fierce the fight just now was.

"A tie?"

Boss Xu's eyes twitched and he asked half-questioningly and half-statingly.

"Did I let her?"

Gu Yi did not deny this statement. The other party had said at the beginning that he would try his best to restrain himself from using his abilities. Otherwise, once Xia Xiaomao really opened fire at full power and performed a collapse operation on the mecha itself, it would be no problem to crush her.

In the previous confrontation, the little black rabbit had felt the horror of the gravity field at close range several times.

But in this case, the two of them maintained a similar level, and it would not be too much to say that it was a draw.

"I take back what I said before. The mecha is indeed unique."

"Of course, I spent money on it!"

Gu Yi put her hands on her hips proudly, "Xiaofen is the best!"

...Is Xiaofen okay? Are you being a little perfunctory, little puppy?

"How about a normal name?"

"What's wrong? Why isn't Pink a good name?"

Gu Yi was so angry. Xiaofen is such a cute name, why did you change it just like that?

But since it sounds good... let's just call it that.

Humph.

And Xia Xiaomao's praise was not perfunctory. This might be the first time she gave praise to a heavy mecha.

This might be because the previous heavy mechas were not as strong as "Mingshi", but in any case, there were very few weapons that could fight her to a draw.

Even if she didn't use her full strength - you have to know that her combat power is basically in the top 5% of the world class, yes, world class. Even though more and more areas are being discovered and joined or incorporated into the alliance, her combat power is still far ahead.

Only some newly emerged SS can suppress her, and she can even be on par with some weaker SS.

Hearing her say this, not only Gu Yi was happy, but Jiang Chengcheng also enjoyed it.

Whether it is "Mingshi" or "Suwei", they are all her creations after all. The collision between the two, to be frank, is like the sharpest spear and the strongest shield. She will be happy whoever wins.

"But it looks like it still needs some reinforcement."

She carefully saved the data of "Mingshi", and then looked at Xia Wuyou, "Wuyou, your "Suwei" can also be upgraded by taking this opportunity."

Xia Wuyou nodded, took the coat that Pan Feng handed over and put it on - this battle-damaged outfit was a bit indecent, and it was all exposed...

Fortunately, there was only one man here, and his attention didn't seem to be on him.

He just looked at Pan Feng and gave her a look.

Let me tell you, your master is young and not a stubborn old man, and form is never something worth worrying about.

"But having said that, having a strong heart is not enough."

Xu Shi reminded him at the right time, "This is not some hot-blooded comic... Besides, just because your master doesn't like to drive a mecha doesn't mean she can't drive one."

"Hey?"

Pan Feng was stunned, obviously unaware that Xia Wuyou had this trick.

Gu Yi was the top student in this session, while Xia Wuyou was the top student many years ago.

"Do you still want to learn how to drive a mecha?"

Xia Wuyou also noticed it and asked Pan Feng casually.

"Well...but I can't learn it well, Master, please don't think I'm stupid."

Xia Wuyou laughed, "It's just that everyone has their own specialties... If you want to learn, go back to school and the master will give you special training."

"real?!"

Pan Feng was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master!"

The two of them became kind to each other and filial to each other.

Isn’t that the bastard man sitting opposite you?

As he was speaking, a beautiful figure came over.

Here, here comes the silly disciple.

Damn, how come I fell asleep while writing the last thousand words...

Chapter 334: Children like you will not suffer

2023-12-10

Seeing Pan Ling rushing over, everyone smiled in amusement.

There's no way. She came up as soon as I talked about the topic of "silly apprentice". If I don't laugh at you, who else should I laugh at?

"Ah, nothing."

Xu Shi restrained his smile and asked as calmly as possible, "Is the meeting over? What was the result?"

"all the best."

When Pan Ling heard the master asking about serious matters, even though she had a lot of questions in her mind, she could only put them aside and answer seriously.

"To be specific, the 'Mirror Lake County' has a high-concentration liquid 'Rust Mist' ore vein similar to the Hualan Empire. I have negotiated for the priority mining rights for a part of it. The other 'Liuyun Country' has some unique plants and animals, including the supernatural powers that the locals are good at, which tend to be natural forms... I have already said hello to Mr. Ning Wei and Qin Yiyan, and they will be responsible for these parts."

"As for the issue of the 'protagonist', according to the people who came to negotiate, no such existence has been found so far, but they will keep a close eye on it and report to us if they find any signs."

She continued, "As for the people of Heavenly Law... we have always dealt with this ourselves, so they don't need to worry too much."

Xu Shi nodded slightly.

However, the silly apprentice's report also hit the nail on the head - by now they already have their own set of standards for accepting new members into the alliance.

What matters are nothing more than these: comprehensive strength, resources, and the "protagonist".

Comprehensive strength is naturally the most important criterion for judgment. Whether it is the overall strength of the "Upgraders" or the individual SS "Upgraders", this part can always well reflect the value of an area's existence.

It is no exaggeration to say that once SS exists in a certain area, it will basically be ranked in the top A-level city-state. Even if these people may have strange personalities, or are unwilling to get involved in alliances and diplomatic affairs, they will basically not sit idly by once any major situation occurs.

If the situation wasn't really that serious, or if there was such a potential crisis, how could those SS or extremely powerful beings agree to form a group, right?

Xu Shi still remembers three years ago, when he was just preparing to develop the alliance. It was indeed much more difficult than it is now. It was true that Yu Xingchuan led the team to be responsible for overseas diplomacy, but eight out of ten times he had to do it himself, using the collected evidence to present facts and reason with them.

Even so, there are still many people who are suspicious and think that this is a despicable trick used by outsiders... Until those "supervisors" of "heavenly justice" were caught, these people realized that Xu Shi and others were not exaggerating.

But as the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Only when the foundation is laid firmly, the act of breaking through barriers and presenting the complete world to everyone will become simpler and easier to accept.

Besides, SS weren't the only ones they looked up to - a year ago they had encountered a peculiar city-state, a high-level martial arts world where everyone had skills and was full of strong men. Although there were no SS, there were a lot of A- and A+-level "upgraders", and even quite a few S-level ones.

Finally, everyone gave the same rating for the region, A. This cannot be said to be a case of ants killing elephants. It should be said that when wolves gather in large groups, lions and tigers will also be a little wary.

Then there is the issue of resources. Joining the alliance means the opening of the foreign trade system, which requires mutual exchange of resources. Otherwise, why would people help you when they have no connection with you? This is probably a more detailed assessment under the rough classification of ABC. There are also differences between regions with the same rating.

To give the simplest example, the mineral resources of Nightsin City itself are not actually that rich. Even after obtaining the high-concentration "Rust Mist" ores from the "Forsaken", the resource level still remains in the medium or even lower-medium range.

It can only be said that some people are born to be wealthy. In recent years, there are many A-level city-states with rich resources... Night Sin City is now more inclined to take the path of a virtuous cycle of exchanging technology for resources, and then relying on resources to develop technology. It is not shameful to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.

Are there any regions that are not very strong but have abundant resources?

Of course there is.
