The discussion about the president on Starnet was getting more and more heated. The public support that the president had regained a while ago quickly dissipated, and then to make matters worse, it was suddenly revealed on the forum that the president's wife had snatched an indigenous patent when she was young.
This year, Chu Huai had been cleaning up the protection of indigenous patents. The Xiang family had sensed something was wrong early on, and reluctantly cleaned up all of their own patents. They were smart enough not to fight against Chu Huai, and instead switched concepts to gain a good reputation of "taking the lead in responding to policies to pay attention to indigenous students."
The president was happy to see them fighting among themselves and weakening each other, and he also wanted to sow discord between them, so he leaned towards Chu Huai on this policy, allowing Chu Huai's cleanup operation to proceed smoothly.
Now that the cleanup activity has come to an end and a year is almost over, everyone's attention has long been diverted away from this matter, but unexpectedly the Chu family struck back and turned the dying fire towards the president.
He didn't get to see the excitement among the four major families of the president, nor did he win the hearts of the people. He was also beaten and abandoned by the Xiang and Wei families. Now, he was unexpectedly stepped into the mud by the Chu family, which made him so angry that his liver rage rose and directly broke the illusion of friendliness - of course, he was still rational and knew to only lose his temper at home.
"Why did you do such a shameful thing in the first place! Why didn't you tell me? You are really incapable of helping anyone but is more likely to cause trouble!" He pointed at his still charming wife and roared, his expression almost ferocious.
You Susu had never been scolded like this by her husband before. The Long family was not prominent, and Long Ruifeng was able to climb to the position of president thanks to the support of the Xiang and Wei families and the military support of the You family. Therefore, she had lived a very comfortable life over the years and always put on a high profile in front of her husband.
This is the first time that she has been scolded by her husband. No, it’s the second time. The first time was when Long Baorou was in trouble. That time, she didn’t even give Long Ruifeng a chance to get angry and sent her daughter to another A-level planet to enjoy a good life. How could she tolerate it this time?
"Tell you? I don't even remember this incident myself, how can I tell you! This is not a shameful thing, it's just a scented tea recipe, it's used, which family doesn't have this kind of thing nowadays? Can't you see that the Chu family is obviously trying to cause trouble? Instead of getting angry here, you might as well go and find a way to solve it!"
She retorted without any hesitation, her voice higher than his, her reasoning more straightforward than his, accusing: "If you hadn't been too high-profile before and hadn't taken advantage of Chu Rong's disappearance to step on the Chu family, would Chu Huai have suddenly dug up such an insignificant past?"
Long Ruifeng was choked by her words and was speechless for a moment. If it were any other time, he would have admitted his mistake and made a small move, but now he only felt even angrier and shouted, "You still think you're justified after doing such an ugly thing? I'm being high-profile for this family. Next year is the term of office, and I—"
"What do you mean by you? You are just a waste!" You Susu retorted before he could finish his words. Her face darkened and she said, "Back then, I asked you to support the You family and not always rely on the Xiang and Wei families. You were on guard against me, afraid that the You family would become too big, and you always pretended to obey me but secretly disobeyed me. Did I say a word? Did my dad support you when he should have? Did I tell you afterwards that since you were determined to follow the Xiang and Wei families, you should stay out of trouble and be honest and continue to be your president in peace. It was you who was greedy and had to provoke the Chu family and mess up the situation. Those two younger generations of the Chu family have been playing the other three families whose elders are still alive like fools over the years. Why can't you see it? You should not get involved with those two people!"
As she spoke, the grievances she had suppressed for many years came to the surface. Looking at her husband who was becoming more and more unfamiliar to her, she raised her hand to gather her shawl, unwilling to talk to him about the same old things that she had said countless times. She said in a cold voice: "I am responsible for what I did myself. Similarly, please be responsible for what you did yourself. Don't drag Xuyang into it. I have been with you for decades. I didn't despise you when you were poor, and I didn't abandon you when you were suppressed. I always encouraged and supported you when you wanted to retreat because of the war. Long Ruifeng, I have done my best for you. Since you are wary of me and my family, and think that I have tarnished your resume, then it's up to you. Let's part ways in peace."
Long Ruifeng was shocked when he heard this and said, "What do you mean? Are you threatening me? At this critical moment, don't cause trouble for me!"
Threat? Causing trouble? After being married for decades, her words of breaking up were only exchanged for these words.
You Susu's heart completely sank. She glanced at him indifferently and turned away.
Long Ruifeng thought she was acting like a spoiled brat again and was unwilling to serve her, so he snorted coldly and let her leave.
A few minutes later, the butler of the Presidential Palace rushed in and said anxiously: "Sir, the lady has returned to her parents' home and took Master Xuyang away with her!"
Long Ruifeng was stunned, his mood became worse, he waved his hand and said: "Let her go! You think I will bow my head if you take Xuyang away? Impossible! You think the current situation is not chaotic enough!"
The butler looked at him worriedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Judging from the lady's expression just now, it doesn't look like she just wants to use the matter of returning to her parents' home to force her husband to surrender.
The day after the scandal broke out, the old man of the You family personally took You Susu to hold a press conference to explain the matter of the flower tea patent. He also invited the indigenous aunt whose patent was occupied and personally apologized to the aunt in front of the media.
The native aunt was rescued by the You family and has been taken care of by the family over the years. The formula for the scented tea was the one that You Susu took away from her on an impulse when she was angry with her younger sisters when she was young. She has always known about it but never thought of taking it back, and You Susu has never made money with this patent, so this is actually just a small matter.
She immediately expressed her forgiveness and explained the reason for the incident to the reporter.
The scandal became a lovely story between a grateful aunt and a young girl. Everyone expressed their understanding and praised the first lady for her responsibility and for correcting her mistakes as soon as she realized them.
Just when everyone thought that the press conference had said everything that needed to be said and was about to end, You Susu suddenly stood up and dropped a bombshell - she was planning to divorce President Long Ruifeng.
She said that because of what Long Baorou had done to the two younger generations of the Chu family, as well as what she had done when she was young, she felt that she was not a qualified mother, nor a person worthy of being a role model for everyone, so she decided to divorce the president, reflect on herself, and finally advised the young people of the federation not to learn from her.
Long Xuyang stood beside her the whole time. After she finished speaking, he walked up to her, hugged her, apologized to the public again on her behalf, then announced the end of the press conference and left with his great-grandfather and mother.
The reporters were stunned, then exploded, and then the federal spectators were also exploded.
This press conference was broadcast live throughout the federation, and everyone heard it—the president was divorcing his wife because of a small mistake the wife made when she was young!
No wonder this press conference was held by Mr. You and the first lady, and the president didn't show up at all. It turned out to be because of this! They thought it was strange before.
In the Presidential Palace, Long Ruifeng, who was thinking about how to cover up this scandal, stood up in disbelief after hearing the news. He hurriedly found the video of the press conference and watched it. When he heard You Susu say the word divorce and his son Long Xuyang standing aside to express his support, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fainted.
But he couldn't faint. If even the You family was going to abandon him, what would he have left?
He hurriedly took out his communicator and called You Susu, but the call was transferred to an incoming call reminder. It was obvious that he was blocked by You Susu. He turned to call Long Xuyang, who answered the call, but his attitude was a little polite. He clearly stated that he wanted to spend some time with his mother and would not return to the Presidential Palace for the time being.
His son, who was always docile and obedient in front of him, hung up on him for the first time. His wife and son all left him. He finally couldn't bear the blow. His mental strength became chaotic and he fainted with his eyes rolled back.
Upon learning that the president had collapsed, the four major families rushed to the presidential palace to deliver medicine and good things. On the surface, they were concerned, but their hidden intentions were frighteningly cold-blooded - the end of power will not begin until next year, and the president cannot collapse now, and he has to hold on until then even if he doesn't want to.
While the entire federation was in a frenzy over the president's divorce scandal, the fifth round of the StarNet Mecha Manufacturing Competition began. This time the competition was about making mecha limb skeletons, which was relatively simple and tested the contestants' ability to handle materials and the speed of making parts.
These are Georgia's strengths. After asking the competition officials for enough materials, he immediately started making them.
Everyone has gradually gained confidence in his ability, and the odds for this round of games have finally become more balanced.
Without those weird and incomprehensible "nonsense" operations, Georgia's production process has become pleasing to the eye again. Of course, what is even more pleasing to the eye is Georgia's movements of climbing up and down on large parts such as the limbs of the mecha.
“Ahhh, did you see that? The little cutie’s action of climbing onto the material just now was so adorable!”
"Wow, Jojo's jumping ability is amazing! So cool!"
"Hehehe, when the little cutie reached out just now, the hem of his shirt lifted up, and I saw his waist, it was so white and thin."
…
Chu Yan, who was "fortunate" to sit next to Chu Rong this time, silently turned off the audience block, secretly glanced at Chu Rong who was staring at the stage with a dark face, and wiped his sweat - fortunately, the second brother turned on the audience block as soon as he came in, otherwise...
Before he could finish his sigh, Georgia on the stage suddenly raised her hand and tied up her bangs, revealing her forehead.
The audience was stunned, staring at the small whip on Georgia's head and her face that looked even more delicate and beautiful after her forehead was exposed for a few seconds, and then they screamed even more crazily with their breath held high.
Crack, Chu Yan felt as if he heard the sound of his second brother's finger joints rubbing against each other.
——Although they couldn’t hear the sound, they could still see the expressions of the audience.
"Um... the bangs block your view and hinder the production. It's normal for Qiao to be like this. Second brother, you..."
Chu Rong turned his head to look at him, with a cold face, and asked faintly: "What about me?"
"...No, it's okay. It seems that Qiao's Star Network image should be changed. Maybe he can cut his bangs a little shorter?" Chu Yan suggested timidly.
Chu Rong sneered with an ambiguous tone, turned his gaze to look at the audience around him who were obviously more excited, and snorted softly through his nose.
Chu Yan shuddered, feeling that it was too stressful to sit and watch the game with his second brother. He missed Yuan Xiu so much, who skipped the game to cram on family management knowledge.
Although the skeleton of the limbs was simple to make and easy to modify, due to the large number of parts, it still took Georgia an hour and forty minutes to complete it. He checked it again at the end for safety reasons.
Five minutes before the end of the game, the system popped up a prompt that he had successfully advanced again.
The audience cheered, Georgia bowed and went offline, and then the onlookers discovered that Chu Rong did not go offline with him, but was teleported to the mecha driving square, dragged Chu Sanshao to beat him for a few games, and then challenged the mecha warriors who were still online on the leaderboard one by one.
The spectators were excited - after watching the game, they could watch the match, and the match was open to the public and they could pay to watch. Today, the Marshal couple teamed up to give out benefits!
Everyone rushed into Chu Rong's fighting room, and then found that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong - Chu Rong was too quick to decide the battle, too cold, and too murderous.
Bang!
The opponent was dealt with within three moves.
Bang!
Opponent Two only survived for ten seconds.
Crackling!
The third opponent was slightly stronger and lived for two minutes, but he also died the most miserably.
The battles were carried out at a high-efficiency pace, one after another, and the masters who were usually mighty and domineering all became noobs under Chu Rong's hands. Among them, a contestant with the id "Your Slender Waist" suffered the most. Although he was not the most powerful, he was challenged the most by Chu Rong.
The audience held their frightened hearts, feeling as if they understood something.
boom!
Brother with the slender waist fell to the ground again, and the system determined that Chu Rong won. Just when the audience thought there would be another game, Chu Rong turned off the challenge, then operated the mecha to coldly scan the audience seats, turned on the sound, and said coldly: "Does your waist look good?" After that, he went offline directly.
The audience was stunned, agitated for a few seconds, and then cautiously guessed - the marshal had a rare fight today, and he abused the slim waisted guy again and again. Was it because he was jealous? And the object of his jealousy seemed to be the audience...
…
The audience was silent, then they looked up at the sky pretending to be serious - Well, today's marshal is really... Oh no, no, it's the moonlight tonight that is really nice.
Five days later, the president and his wife officially announced their divorce. That evening, the sixth round of the StarNet Mecha Manufacturing Competition began on time - from this competition on, primary parts would no longer appear on the contestants' operating tables.
Georgia glanced at the parts and accessories of several wrist joints on the operating table, went over the modification process in her mind, and took out a small hammer.
In the audience, the audience looked at Georgia's shorter bangs and her new overalls, glanced at each other knowingly, put on serious faces and started watching the game.
——Well, they are a couple, so it’s normal to be a little nervous. They didn’t realize the marshal’s little thoughts at all.
Two hours later, Georgia's sixth round of competition ended successfully and he advanced again. The strength he showed was completely unlike that of a first-year mecha manufacturing student who had just been admitted to a senior college.
Master Shang looked at Georgia who was bowing to thank the audience, and he was pleased and emotional: "This kind of tight and high-pressure rhythm is obviously more suitable for him. In just over a month, he has improved from being very careful when making elementary parts in the first round of the competition to being able to make intermediate parts easily now. The learning progress in school is really too slow for him. Maybe soon, he will skip a grade again."
It’s hard to imagine that more than a month ago, Georgia was still worried about whether it would be eliminated in the first round.
Ronnie felt the same way. Thinking of Georgia's recent performance in class, he nodded and agreed, "He is always the first to finish every practical class, and then spends the rest of the time self-studying intermediate and advanced parts. The school has become a platform that simply provides him with learning materials. In terms of teaching, the teachers really can't keep up with his pace. More than one teacher has come to me and said that teaching him is completely delaying each other."
Master Shang frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll find a chance to talk to him. If he really can't fit in with the first-year curriculum, I'll let him follow me directly in the future."
Are you preparing to officially accept a disciple?
Ronnie side-turned his head to glance at him, squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin - I heard that this cheap junior brother was once a disciple under the name of Master Ren Mo Ze before he met the master. Now that the master wants to officially snatch him away, has he asked the previous nominal master?
After the sixth round of the competition, Georgia came down from the Star Network and immediately took out the mecha design drawings and Chu's mother's notes and began to study the mecha engine.
This will be the most difficult part for him to overcome. He can make the main frame of the mecha by following the production method of the magic puppet and then modify the existing mecha parts so as to master the production as soon as possible, but he has no reference for the engine and can only start from scratch.
According to the current progress of the game, the production of the engine will be completed in one and a half months at most, so we must hurry up.
He turned to the part about engines in Chu's mother's notes. After reading a few lines, he found something wrong with the notes. There were actually faint power fluctuations on them.
This kind of electronic notebook only has a recording function and has no energy response itself. There is only one possibility for the power fluctuations that appear on it, and that is that this power fluctuation was left there intentionally by someone.
The owner of the electronic book is Chu's mother, so could it be Chu's mother who left behind the power?
He became serious, and touched the electronic book up and down with his hands. He then flipped through the previous and next few lines of the directory to check, but there was no power response. Finally, he determined that the power fluctuation was only in the engine.
Was it left behind by Chu’s mother by chance?
He guessed and carefully extended his magic power to spread a layer on the electronic book. Soon, the power fluctuations on the electronic book responded to him, gradually gathering and glowing, condensing into a line of "ssss" letters.
What was even more terrifying was that he saw large stains of blood on the line of letters.
Electronics will automatically remove stains. Bloodstains are a type of stain and will be automatically cleaned away. However, the fluctuations of life in the bloodstains will remain. Perhaps spiritual power and various modern instruments cannot detect them, but magic, the power that communicates with the vitality of all things in nature, can easily sense them and make them visible.
His heart trembled, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. He took out his communicator and called Chu Rong.
Half an hour later, Chu Rong hurried over in a hovercraft and took him back to the Chu residence.
Everyone in the Chu family gathered in the living room, looking at the electronic book he took out with serious expressions.
"You should all be able to sense the power fluctuations above, but this..." He once again spread his magic power over the electronic notebook. Soon, a large area of dark red appeared faintly, which was very dazzling.
He withdrew his hand, glanced at Chu Rong, and replied: "This is a blood reaction. My power can sense it."
The auras of Chu Huai and Chu Rong changed immediately. Chu Yan also looked gloomy and said, "I remember that this relic was found in my mother's office. She didn't carry it with her. Why is there blood on it?"
This is exactly the reason why Chu Huai and Chu Rong's aura changed - such a large amount of bloodstains did not seem to be accidentally stained.
"My mother was a mecha maker, but she died in battle before my father. I suspected this back then." Chu Rong stepped forward and picked up the electronic book. His fingers trembled and he dared not touch the dark red shadow. He just held the border of the electronic book tightly and said solemnly, "Now it seems that my mother was probably not killed in battle, but was killed in the office. The murderer also faked her death in battle."
Back then, Chu's father and mother died in battle very quickly. No one expected the sudden attack of the Insect Mother. Chu's mother died first, and the other relatives of the Chu family followed. Rescue was slow in coming, and finally the young Chu Rong arrived alone and killed the Insect Mother with the intention of dying together.
At that time, only Chu's father was still alive on the battlefield, but he was too weak and died before he could even say a word to Chu Rong. So even if there was something strange about Chu's mother's death, under the circumstances at the time, no one had the opportunity to tell the truth.
Chu Huai sat on the sofa, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and whispered: "I organized everyone's funeral, and I also personally arranged the bodies bit by bit. Mother's fatal wound was on her back. I thought it was caused by a sneak attack by the Zerg, but now it seems... not necessarily."
Chu's mother's office is located in the center of the Chu family flagship. How could there be Zerg appearing in the center?
"I need to go to the flagship to check it out." Chu Rong closed the electronic notebook and put it into his space button. He didn't give it to Georgia again. He turned his head and looked at him and said, "I will make another copy of the notes for you. I want to keep this one."
Georgia nodded quickly, took a step forward and held his hand, silently comforting him.
Chu Rong immediately held his hand back, his Adam's apple moved, and he asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Can you still sense such traces after others have deliberately dealt with the blood traces?"
"Not necessarily. I need to try first," Georgia replied, moving closer to hug him comfortingly, and said, "But I will try my best."
Chu Rong hugged him back tightly and whispered, "Thank you."
Everyone went to the laboratory and first conducted experiments with animal blood. After completely processing the blood traces so that they could not be detected by any instruments, Georgia stepped forward and spread out her power. After a while, a layer of dark red traces appeared.
It works!
Georgia breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Chu Rong.
"Go to the flagship." Chu Rong said, his eyes colder than ever.
The Chu family's flagship has been stored in the Chu family's family safe. It takes the mental power of the three Chu brothers to open the safe. The flagship is very large, so it must be put out in a special place. So everyone got on the hovercraft and drove towards the Chu family's private training ground. On the way, Chu Rong asked Fan Xiangnan to clear the training ground and open the detection shield.
More than an hour later, the hovercraft landed at the edge of a large training ground. It was almost midnight, but no one was sleepy and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
After putting away the hovercraft, Chu Rong took out the black and gold space button containing the flagship and waved it towards the center of the training ground. Georgia felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and all the light disappeared. Everywhere within his field of vision was shrouded in thick black. Looking up, apart from the faint outline of the flagship, the starry sky was no longer visible.
His eyes widened, and he finally understood why Chu Rong had taken them to stop at the edge of the training ground to take out the flagship.
Because the flagship was so huge, he couldn't see the edge of the flagship when he stood here and looked out, nor could he estimate how tall and big the flagship was. As far as his field of vision was concerned, he could see nothing but the walls of the flagship. Standing under the flagship was like an ant standing in front of an elephant.
No wonder Chu Yan said before that the Chu family’s strength was greatly affected because their flagship had not been repaired. If the other three families also had such a big guy, then the Chu family, which was the only one without it, would be very weak indeed.
"Go up."
Chu Rong spoke up to pull everyone back from their distracted thoughts, suppressed the complicated feelings of seeing this old friend again after so many years, held Georgia's hand, and said, "It's getting late, hurry up."
In front of everyone was the head of the flagship. Chu Rong directly opened a hatch in the head, led everyone in, then boarded the elevator and headed towards the center of the flagship.
Georgia discovered that the internal structure of this flagship was very similar to that of the warship owned by Chu Rong. She was moved and turned her head to glance at Chu Rong's cold and hard profile, then tightened her hand that was clasped with his.
The atmosphere remained silent. As people walked in this huge creature, it was as if they were walking in the belly of a monster. There was a sense of silence like a funeral.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chu Rong stopped and said, "We're here."
Georgia came back to her senses and looked ahead.
Different from the cold and hard style of other areas of the flagship, the area they arrived at had obviously been renovated, with warm-toned decorations everywhere and even some children's graffiti hanging on the walls.
"This seems to be an assignment I drew when I first entered junior college." Chu Yan walked to a painting, raised his hand to touch the parent's signature in the corner of the painting, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, lowered his head and said: "It turns out that this painting was brought here by my mother. No wonder I never saw it again."
There are too many memories of the past on this ship, and most of the people in those memories are no longer around. Ten years later, these deliberately suppressed memories are like a beast that has been lying in ambush for a long time, stretching out its claws towards them again, and any scratch will result in blood.
Chu Huai calmed down first, and smiled soothingly at Gu Yanan who was looking at him worriedly. Then he walked to a door and said, "This is my mother's office. Qiao, you..."
"I'll do it."
Georgia interrupted him, not wanting him to finish his request, so she turned sideways and hugged Chu Rong, then stepped forward and slowly spread out her strength.
Soon, dark red shadows appeared on the floor and the door in large areas, extending straight into the door. It was so tragic that it seemed like a scene from a horror movie.
Chu Huai and others no longer had time to recall the past. Their aura instantly sank, and murderous intent wavered faintly.
Georgia was also frightened by the brutality of the scene. She clenched her hands, avoided the bloody palm print on the door, opened the door, and extended her strength into the dim office.
More bloodstains and bloody footprints gradually appeared on the ground. For the first time, he felt that night vision was a very cruel ability.
Chu Rong appeared behind him at some point, raised his hands to cover his eyes, and looked towards the dim office where he could still see the tragic scene of the past. His mental power could not help but spread outwards, causing the lights in the corridor to flicker.
"There may have been a thief on the Chu family's flagship back then." He took out the electronic book again, looked at the four "s" on it, and said, "This is the clue my mother left for us. It's a pity that we have never been able to find it."
He even gave this electronic copy to Master Shang, who was heartbroken after losing his apprentice, as a souvenir.
The next day Georgia took a leave of absence. He was busy all night and checked the entire flagship center area. He finally determined that Chu's mother was attacked when she returned to the office after inspecting the mecha for Chu's father. The murderer's method was very cruel, but he did not take Chu's mother's life immediately. He just chased her into the office, as if he wanted to ask something from Chu's mother.
Georgia had not experienced that war, and he could not understand the discussion between Chu Huai and Chu Rong at all. Chu Rong made him sleep on the sofa, and when he woke up, he had returned to Chu's house.
The Xiang and Wei families found that the atmosphere of the Chu family was a little strange recently. They kept reorganizing and adjusting the army, and the personnel changes were also very frequent, as if they were going to make a big move. They investigated again and again, but they still couldn't find any clues. They could only raise a million thoughts and secretly fear, guarding against the big moves that the Chu family might make at any time.
The president lost the support of the You family and became completely obedient. At the same time, news came from the empire that the old king decided to recall Prince Antin and Princess Anlin because of the eldest prince's affairs, and to cultivate relationships with his remaining children.
A few days later, the news was confirmed. The old king asked Prince Antin and Princess Anlin to return to the empire after finishing the courses this semester, and several other children of the empire were also to leave with them.
This represented a complete breakdown of the alliance between the president and the empire. It was obvious that the president's previous move to get close to the eldest prince had angered the old king. After cleaning up internal affairs, the old king decided to sort out diplomacy.
On this day, Princess Anlin did not go to Starnet to watch the seventh round of the Mecha Manufacturing Competition. Instead, she sat in a hotel box in the military academy's trade zone with Prince Antin to discuss matters related to returning to the empire.
"We have finally come to this point."
An Lin, who looked much more mature than before, gently turned the teacup in front of her. Putting aside those luxurious clothes and accessories, she was only wearing a military academy uniform. With her long hair tied up, she looked like a different person. There was a hint of heroic spirit between her eyebrows that was not there before.
"I used to think that the Empire was the best, but now I find that the Federation is really good. I don't want to go back." She sighed, looking at her hands that had become rough from daily morning exercises, showing a trace of melancholy.
She once laughed at Long Baorou for being a fake princess, but now it seems that she is the ignorant one. Even if Long Baorou is a fake princess, she is better than her. She enjoys what she should enjoy, is freer than her, and does not have so many brothers and sisters who are kind on the surface but actually wish you to die.
The imperial royal family maintained the ancient tradition that the king could have multiple wives. She and Antin's mother were just commoner girls who were taken in by the old king on a whim, with no power or influence. She once thought that she was the most noble among all the sisters because she was favored by the old king, but the facts slapped her hard in the face.
In order to win over the new nobles, her father actually wanted her to marry an uncle who was several generations older than her. It can be said that this trip to the Federation saved her. This was also part of the reason why she pursued Chu Rong so aggressively.
"Brother, you are right. We have no way out. This time when I go back, my father will definitely marry me off, and you..." She looked at An Ting with sad eyes: "We have lost the eldest prince, and there are still the second, third, and fourth princes. What should you do, brother..."
An Ting, who had also become much more mature, reached out and held her hand, and said with certainty: "No, you won't marry someone casually, and I won't be in trouble. I was confused before and always acted like a prince. Don't worry, there will be a way out, and everyone will be fine."
An Lin was stunned when she heard this, then realized something and asked anxiously, "Brother, what do you want to do? Don't be impulsive."
"Nothing to do, just go and apologize to the Chu family." Prince An Ting held her hand tightly, laughed at himself, and said, "I have carefully observed the situation of the major families in the Federation recently, and found that your choice is not wrong. Chu Rong is indeed the most worthy target to win over, but our previous methods were wrong and we also put ourselves in the wrong position."
"Brother?" An Lin became more worried.
An Ting smiled at her, stood up and hugged her, lowered his eyes and said: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
The content of the seventh round of the competition was the mecha's hand parts. This part was very important as it was the key to whether the mecha could use weapons flexibly. Georgia did it very seriously and finished the competition before the end, successfully advancing again.
This time Chu Rong did not watch the entire game. He just placed a bet to show his support and then logged off - he has been too busy recently.
A few days later, news came from the Ning family that Grandpa Ning's old illness relapsed and his health deteriorated. As the grandson, Ning Kongan decided to stay in the Ning family to fulfill his filial duties for his mother and not return to the empire for the time being.
Upon learning of this, the old king praised his filial piety and gave a batch of rare medicinal herbs to Mr. Ning.
Soon after, Jane also chose to stay in the Federation on the grounds that she was in poor health and it was inconvenient for her to travel back and forth. This reason was too careless, but the old king still agreed, indirectly expressing his goodwill to the national teacher.
The final list of people who would go back was finalized. Prince An Ting and Princess An Lin, Jie Xiu who had challenged Chu Yan many times but failed every time, and Cha Mi who had secretly participated in the Star Network Mecha Manufacturing Competition but only lasted three rounds decided to go back, while Ning Kongan and Jian stayed.
Time slipped away slowly as the federal situation changed secretly and the competition continued to advance.
Georgia passed the next few rounds of competition on intermediate and advanced parts and parts modification without any trouble, constantly refreshing the audience's perception of his strength.
As autumn turns to winter, the StarNet Mecha Manufacturing Competition ushered in the most important round of competition before the finals - engine production.
The countdown ended, and a large number of accessories and spare materials appeared on the operating table. Georgia took a look at the odds that had widened again after a few months, stood up and bowed to the audience as usual.
Having been with him till now, the audience looks at him as if he were their own child. They understand that making an engine is not easy, so they don't want him to feel any pressure. While he hasn't turned on the shield yet, they are busy encouraging and comforting him, telling him to just do his best and not feel any pressure, and that it's not shameful to be eliminated.
Georgia felt a little touched and smiled at them, then looked at Chu Rong who was sitting in the front row and said something other than thank you for the first time.

Master Shang's face turned dark. He turned his head to glare at him, then remained silent with a sullen face.
Ronnie couldn't help but laugh with schadenfreude. See, he said it wasn't that easy to poach people. That old man Ren Moze was not easy to deal with.
The engine that Georgia wants to make is also larger than the standard size, and because this part of the engine is too important, it cannot be fed with other accessories, so he plans to build the engine from scratch starting from processing materials. This also means that he cannot use any of the official accessories.
At first, the audience saw him processing materials and thought he was making "feed" for parts like before, so they were very calm. But as they watched, they began to wonder - why is Georgia always making accessories?
