Elsewhere, Xu Wen escaped with his sister. Although he's far inferior to you, he's now at least grown into a "garbage king" capable of controlling half of the garbage disposal area.

[Using the old, unpainted, and uncloaked War Dragon 8 that you abandoned, he was able to get Xu Yan to safety.]

After all, everyone's eyes are on you right now, and...

[Eighty million, one hundred million, one hundred and fifty million...]

In garbage dump No. 161, Xu Wen knocked out a subordinate of the local garbage kingpin, staring in disbelief at the contents of his communicator.

That's a bounty on the three of you.

[His and his sister's bounty credits were both ten million, which Xu Wen originally thought was an unimaginable astronomical sum.]

But now, your bounty has skyrocketed, exceeding 100 million!

When the exoskeleton army under the Sixth Branch of the conglomerate was completely wiped out, the bounty skyrocketed to 500 million!

[We can create five world-class, specialized exoskeletons with nearly 100 functions!]

[You can indulge in unrestrained pleasures for the rest of your life, frequently visiting the most expensive pleasure quarters, without ever worrying about running out of money!]

[You could build your own exoskeleton army, occupy over a dozen garbage dumps, and instantly become a powerful garbage king!]

In addition to the 500 million credits, there are also lifetime benefits and various guarantees from the conglomerate.

All wealth and glory are concentrated in your hands!

The garbage kings of almost half the abandoned mining planet have gone mad; based on the location provided by the consortium, they are swarming towards you.

Hundreds of high-end armored vehicles streaked across the sky, while many more raced across the land!

Admittedly, they knew that such a high bounty meant stronger opponents, and that they had no chance of killing the target on their own; they would be easily crushed.

But... they weren't alone!

So many people are hunting you down; they could easily follow behind and pick up the scraps.

[The bounty states that you are an Inner Manipulator, and the manipulating power within your body can even withstand the energy consumption of a "mecha".]

[But that doesn't mean your manipulative power is inexhaustible... Even if you truly have an inexhaustible amount of manipulative power, you can't be piloting a mecha, can you?]

[The mechs are creations far exceeding the limits of this planet, but exoskeletons can ultimately be dealt with!]

[At the conglomerate headquarters, during a meeting, a high-ranking figure raised a question.]

"Even our second-tier legion has been defeated. Do those pack of rabid dogs, who rushed to the scene at the first sign of trouble, really have any hope of dealing with that 'Yun Shou'?"

[Another person replied with a laugh: "Of course not, they're just a swarm of flies, their main purpose is to harass the target and give us plenty of time to prepare."]

"Preparing? Is it about mobilizing a top-tier legion for an absolute annihilation?"

"No, it's about activating those 'things,' summoning those forbidden objects..." one of them said quietly.

He seemed to be talking to himself, yet also communicating with you from afar: "You're too young. Relying on your extraordinary talent, you think you can overthrow everything, oppose the conglomerates, and destroy us all."

"However, the abandoned mining planet has been thirteen hundred years old, while the conglomerate took shape thirteen hundred years ago and began to rule over everything on this planet."

"Thousands of years of accumulation have given us too many trump cards! When our true strength is unleashed, it will be a burden you cannot bear!"

[...]

You stand amidst hundreds of wrecked structures, your surroundings forming a hellish tapestry.

[A communication message came through your ear; it was from the independent communication line you had previously established. With your manipulation abilities, the communication range can be extended to three thousand kilometers.]

"Boss, I saw the bounty on you, five hundred million!" Xu Wen said anxiously, "Now the whole world is really against you, can you really handle it?"

"Are you going to come and help me?"

"Uh... what I mean is, Xiaoyan and I will definitely help you get revenge in the future," Xu Wen said awkwardly. He wasn't the kind of hot-blooded male protagonist who would knowingly rush into a life-or-death situation despite knowing it was impossible.

He excels at stealth and hiding, waiting until he's strong enough to seek revenge.

"Brother!" Xu Yan's dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the line again: "If you won't go, I will! Get out and let me drive!"

"It's not Xiaoyan, you're only at the Power Realm, you can't pilot this eighth-generation fighter."

"I'm already at five times my original level, what's so difficult about activating my exoskeleton beyond my current level?"

"Alright, alright," you interrupt the siblings' argument. "Don't come any closer. Protect yourselves and stay quietly in a corner where no one will notice."

[Xu Yan anxiously: "But—"]

[Your tone softened: "Don't worry, you need to understand why I have such a high bounty."]

"Of course, I fought my way through them one by one!"

[Xu Wen chimed in in agreement: "Being able to negotiate down to that price already means that our boss is the strongest on this planet. We don't need to worry about him anymore..."]

[Your expression instantly changed, a forced smile on your face: "And you, little Wenzi, I remember I confirmed with you before, I'm already invincible, right?" (Chapter 561)]

Xu Wen: "..."

That's because he was young at the time and thought the conglomerate was nothing special. In reality, he had already felt fear when the higher-ups in the conglomerate said, "His authority has been suppressed; this is a test for you."

[Furthermore, after observing the artillery fire, his perspective completely changed. Having fully grasped the power of the conglomerate, he realized that even if you were a so-called reborn mecha king, you had only been reborn for a year and still couldn't contend with that power.]

[Similar to when you first learned about Newton from your elementary school textbook, your impression of him was just that of a guy who got hit on the head by an apple, and you thought that the top student in the class would eventually have a chance to surpass him.]

[Only after truly understanding his achievements... will one realize that he was a figure of unparalleled stature in the history of science, who even successfully erased his arch-rival Hooke from ancient history.]

“The representative of the academic clique burned all of Hooke’s portraits after his death, which in a sense erased him from history.”

"Your distrust of the boss is your first crime, and your thought of running away in the face of danger is your second crime... All crimes combined, once I get back, you can expect to be punished severely for a year!"

[Xu Wen was in despair. He suddenly had an overwhelming desire for you to die there... no, for you to be beaten into amnesia by the enemy in your moment of victory, and forget everything.]

[More than a year of wandering and running away has given you and your siblings a very deep understanding of each other. Xu Wen's most profound impression of you is your petty nature!]
