As Principal Yang spoke, his eyes turned red.

An old man, who has worked diligently in Luocheng No. 8 Middle School for many years, was so outstanding that every year when students evaluated teachers, his approval rate was over 99%. He never complained even when he was seriously injured in the attack by King Jin's army. He was actually moved to tears because of attending an event held by Luocheng itself.

Zhou You was silent and didn't say anything.

There are still many things that I need to understand, especially the game among the high-level officials in Los Angeles. I am a complete layman and now I just need to be a good listener.

The head teacher, Mr. Li, patted Principal Yang on the shoulder with emotion, said, "I don't blame you," and then turned to look at Zhou You.

"Zhou You, you are now the most outstanding student in our Luocheng Eighth Class. You have never touched a mecha before, but you can control it to this level. Even among the mecha schools in the northern cities, you are second to none."

The head teacher, Mr. Li, took a sip of wine, his eyes full of pride.

He was very sure that Zhou You was a talented mecha master, and this must be Zhou You's first time touching a mecha. Although Los Angeles lagged behind other cities in other aspects, it was very strict in security, especially in the protection of mechas.

Some medium-sized and even small cities have mecha accessories and weapons for sale. Many people who have received a certain amount of education can even assemble mechas with their bare hands. Although the failure rate of mechas is very high and they are basically unable to be used in combat, at least they can touch mechas and modify them.

There is also a group of people who can purchase weapons for mechas, but these people will not equip the weapons on the mechas. Instead, they run around with the weapons, and various incidents of injuries caused by weapons occur frequently.

These problems also existed when Luocheng was managed by the previous city lord, and it was no different from other small cities. As long as a medium-sized city sells to Luocheng, Luocheng will buy it even if it has to hold its nose, and the price can only be set by the medium-sized city.

It's OK to buy once or twice, but buying in large quantities, more than ten times or even dozens of times a year. Even if you are rich, you can't afford it! So the financial deficit of Luocheng during that period was very serious. Later, the old city lord couldn't stand the pressure and simply sold these weapons directly. The wool comes from the sheep, and the sale of these weapons will naturally ease the financial pressure of Luocheng.

It would have been better if they didn't sell them. After the old city lord sold them, he found that weapons and mecha accessories were particularly popular. After all, who doesn't like a mecha that is the crystallization of technology, full of control, and superior to everyone else? The hot sales of mecha accessories far exceeded everyone's imagination. The batch of accessories that the old city lord Luo released experimentally were quickly sold out, and the supply was in short supply. The price on the black market once increased by dozens of times.

Dozens of times! Even though the purchase price of Old Luo City Lord is much higher than that of medium-sized cities, the price is high. The profit here is at least nearly a hundred times! If there is a 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere; with a 20% profit, capital will be active; with a 50% profit, capital will take risks; for 100% profit, capital will dare to trample on all Blue Star laws; with a profit of more than 300%, capital will dare to commit any crime, even risking death.

Putting aside the price on the black market, even if it is sold normally, it is at least 600%-800% in net profit! Nothing else has this level of value.

Countless large groups approached the Lord of Los Angeles, and even some large groups spanning multiple cities could not resist the temptation.

The old Lord of Luo City was naturally pleased that someone was helping him take over the mess, so he happily provided these mecha parts according to the purchasing standards of the large group, and the Luo City Finance and the old Lord himself could each share a certain percentage of the profits.

Within three months, the old Lord of Luo City discovered that some of the mecha parts that were about to be scrapped and piled up in the Luo City warehouse were replaced with mecha parts that were despised even when sold as scrap in big cities. They were actually all sold out, and 80% of the cost was recovered.

Having tasted the sweetness, the Lord of Luo City soon began to provide some excellent goods purchased in recent years. The quality of these goods could be regarded as the minimum standard for making mechas. Although the old Lord of Luo City knew about it, how could the residents of Luo City, who had never seen a mecha in their life, let alone mecha accessories, know about it.

These residents, some so-called mecha fanatics, mecha hackers, and old mecha people, were ecstatic about the sudden improvement in the quality of the materials. The mecha groups took the opportunity to increase the prices several times, and as a result, the number of buyers increased instead of decreased, and they flocked to it.

Old Lord Luo was overjoyed, as what was once a burden became a hot commodity overnight, and it directly made up for his finances which were already almost in deficit. With the introduction of new accessories, Luo City's finances for that year were still far ahead, and even the highest during all the years that Old Lord Luo was in office.

However, such a prosperous and unlimited era of mechas and weapons has also caused serious problems: public security!

Before these weapons appeared, everyone could still restrain themselves. After all, you could tell whether the opponent was easy to mess with or not just by looking at his size. Or everyone would get hurt in a fight. As long as the Law Enforcement Agency came, they would basically give everyone fifty lashes. Anyone who dared to mess with the Law Enforcement Agency would suffer a huge loss.

But now this destructive power is in our own hands, it's completely different. A big mecha is running directly on the road. Some people can't control the mecha, and there is no guarantee for the mecha they made. They often break down on the roadside or explode in serious cases. These mechas are not small models. There was no compression technology like today. Those mechas are big and beautiful, and they are often compared to giant trucks. Once that kind of thing breaks down or blocks the road, it will take one or two days to clean it up. Secondly, the most important thing is that everyone has no sense of security, especially the mecha group sees the benefits, and doesn't care whether you are a mecha weapon or not. They just sell it to people in the name of mecha weapons. Some mini handheld weapons, in order to cater to the female group, some lipstick-sized weapons that can make a big hole in a person's chest have also appeared.

Now when I walk on the road and meet someone I normally wouldn't dare to mess with, I see that the other person is more than two meters tall. So what? What's so great about being two meters tall? What does it mean that all beings are equal under weapons?
