Chapter 207 Murderous Intentions

Xu Lingqu did not end the topic, but continued talking about it.

"Also, I don't know if those people with low mental strength are watching this press conference. Whether you're resentful of me or resentful of the injustice of this world, my advice to you is, instead of pinning all your hopes on others, it's better to believe in yourself."

Xu Lingqu knew very well that she was not a god and could not take care of everything or resolve all conflicts. This was also an important reason why she directly refused His Majesty Andrew to inherit the empire.

She didn't really want to say some chicken soup or nice words to these people with low mental strength, because she herself was SS+, and no matter how many comforting words she said at this time, it would sound like sarcasm to these people.

"I just want to tell you some facts. The fact is that starships and mechas do have strict requirements on mental strength. For the sake of safety and higher combat effectiveness, the restrictions of military academies are reasonable. The current contradiction is that some people use this rationality to turn it into a legitimate reason to discriminate against others." Xu Lingqu glanced at the reporter just now.

He was sitting in his original position trembling, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"Discrimination and prejudice won't disappear just because of one exception. Even if my mental strength level is truly B, they won't change their view of you because of my existence." Xu Lingqu continued, "What you need isn't a role model or a spiritual pillar. What you need is an opportunity, a chance to attend military school.

In ancient Chinese society, what really gave opportunities to the lower classes was not Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's saying "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born of different species?" but the imperial examination system that broke the restrictions of the aristocratic families.

As more and more people reach high positions through this opportunity, the saying "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born of different races?" will become more and more thought-provoking and no longer just a spiritual encouragement and comfort.

"The six major military academies will lower the mental power level restrictions for some majors this year. At the same time, some mecha technicians have already started developing mechas without mental power restrictions." The reason for fighting at that time was actually to raise money for materials for Natata to participate in the competition. Xu Lingqu thought so, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't read the message sent by Natata for two days. He might as well go and check it out after the press conference.

"Finally, if I remember correctly, someone just did a count. In the league's mecha arena, none of those A+ and S-rank students lasted more than twenty moves against me, right?" Xu Lingqu blinked. "I can tell you directly that, so far, the person who has lasted the longest against mecha competitions is called Ming, and his mental strength level is C."

While virtual mechas aren't as valuable as replica mechas, they're still essentially mecha competitions. If those people were to fight Ming in the realm of virtual mechas, they wouldn't necessarily win.

The cup fell from his hand and the boiling hot soy milk spilled on his legs. Pei Ming had no reaction at this time, staring blankly at Xu Lingqu, as if a robot had crashed.

The real home robot quickly helped him wipe and clean up the mess, and applied medicine to the burned area to treat the wound. Pei Ming did not move during the whole process, and only stood up as if waking up from a dream after the press conference for the successor was over.

On his smart brain, several friends were frantically sending him messages and communication requests.

"Damn, the Ming that Xu Lingqu was talking about must be you! She actually still remembers you! She actually mentioned you at this moment!" This is a friend who used to fight underground boxing together. He is the only one who knows about Ming's fight in the virtual mecha arena.

"Pei Ming, is this Ming the one who was ranked number one in the virtual mecha arena? It seems like it's you with your name? Oh, never mind, did you hear that? Xu Lingqu said that the six major military academies will relax the restrictions! We have a chance!" This is a friend he met recently who also has the same dream of attending military school as him, but his mental strength is C.

"Although she keeps saying that equality is discrimination against everyone, I feel that every word she says is speaking for us." This is the moderator of the anti-spiritualism forum.

Ming trembled as he wiped the tears from his face. When he touched the scar, he could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

How could he have hated her for no reason before?

"I really want to meet her...at next year's league."

This press conference was not only watched by the people of the Empire, but was also being broadcasted by the Federation.

In Merlin Manor, Yude Merlin sat on the sofa, looking at the girl in the projection with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Linsou Meilin and Linduo Meilin stood aside.

Lin Somelin waited until the press conference was completely over before speaking, "Is her mental power level really SS+? This is just a smokescreen from the Empire. How could she really have such a level of mental power?"

Lin Duomeilin shook his head and said, "It's totally unheard of. I think Andrew just went crazy and made a target on purpose."

"Stupid." Yudmerlin suddenly spoke, as if he had come back to his senses from his memories, his eyes sharp again. "Would Andrew be so deceiving? If he just wanted to find an heir with a longer life, Shen Shouli would be enough. Would he fabricate Xu Lingqu to deceive the people of the empire? Once the war breaks out, if it is discovered that Xu Lingqu cannot drive the blade, the entire empire will collapse! Would Andrew do such a stupid thing?"

This was a rare moment when he was emotional, and it frightened the two brothers, Lin Suo and Lin Duo, so much so that they quickly leaned over to apologize: "I'm sorry."

Yude Meilin coughed several times, then let out a long breath. He glanced at Xu Lingqu again and asked, "How are the manpower we have deployed in the empire?"

"We cut ties with Xu Chengbi in time, so there wasn't much loss. Only one person, Tang Muwen, was captured alive by Ares's people, but he was very stubborn and those people from the Empire couldn't pry his mouth open." Lin Duomeilin replied.

"Let these people move, kill or destroy Xu Lingqu at all costs." Yude Meilin ordered.

Lin Suomelin was puzzled. These people had finally been saved, but now they were being mobilized for Xu Lingqu? At all costs? Was Xu Lingqu really that important?

But he didn't dare to refute Youde Meilin. He didn't know why the usually cautious and prudent patriarch had such strong murderous intent in the face of Xu Lingqu...

"Didn't Xu Chengbi give that to us when necessary? Let's abandon our original plan and include it in our backup plan for killing Xu Lingqu."
