Chapter 64 The Unlucky Younger Brother Goes on a Rampage
Dream Mech is selling out fast.
There were already many people interested in the Dream Mech, but apart from a few people who were not short of money, there were also quite a few people who were watching and wanted to see if this so-called Dream Mech was as powerful as the advertisements claimed.
After Rainbowfish's unboxing livestream came out, all his fans were hooked and rushed to the Dream Mech official website to place orders.
Those are mechs that even B-level mental power users can pilot without taking damage. Even if such mechs can't match the performance of god-level mental power users' mechs and might not be able to go to the battlefield to kill the Zerg, as long as they can pilot the mechs freely, that's fine.
With the surge in mecha sales, Qi Wang naturally made a fortune.
His decision to leave the capital star was the right one. There aren't that many powerful families in other star systems, and god-level mental power users are extremely rare. Even A-level mental power users aren't that many; there are more B-level mental power users.
Qi Wang led his team to the Angel Galaxy. He didn't need to waste any words; he simply showed off his mecha and gained the help of several major families in the Angel Galaxy.
The Dream Mech Company was established, and mechs were produced one after another, arming the members of several major families.
The performance of the Dream Mech is not much different from that of the God-level Mech. When it is deployed on the battlefield, it can fight against the Zerg. Those ordinary people who were once looked down upon now have the right to communicate with God-level mental power users.
Unfortunately, just as these people bypassed Qi Wang to produce the Dream Mech, their production stopped, and even B-level mental power users were still unable to pilot the mechs they produced.
It was only at this moment that they realized that Qi Wang was the irreplaceable one, and that without Qi Wang, they simply could not produce the Dream Mech.
The mechs those people produced were just scrap metal, so naturally they had to go to Qi Wang to ask for forgiveness.
However, Qi Wang directly severed the cooperation with those families, and they were even unable to pilot the Dream Mechs they had purchased from others.
No one knows exactly how Qi Wang did it, but he did it.
This move was undeniably ruthless. In this way, those families were completely bound to Qi Wang. If they offended Qi Wang, they wouldn't be able to produce or even pilot the Dream Mechs, let alone produce them.
Qi Wang's position was unshakeable, and these families were closely united because of him and because of the technology he possessed.
Unlike Qi Wang's thriving forces, the situation on the capital planet is getting worse and worse.
Starting with Marshal Tang, an unknown virus swept across the entire capital planet, infecting countless powerful spiritual beings from prominent families, causing their spiritual power levels to plummet to terrifying levels.
At first, these powerful families tried their best to keep the news a secret, but the truth couldn't be hidden forever. As more and more people's spiritual power levels dropped, the news eventually got out.
The news of so many god-level mental power users dropping in rank caused a huge uproar. People on the capital planet and throughout the entire Scorpion Empire were in a state of panic, fearing that all god-level mental power users would be infected by the virus. If there were no god-level mental power users, who would be able to pilot the mechs and protect the Scorpion Empire?
The leadership of the Scorpion Empire was also in a state of panic. They couldn't even find the source of the virus, nor did they know how to prevent or treat it. Even if those god-level mental power users were allowed to leave the capital planet, they would still be infected, and their mental power level would drop to between C and F levels.
God-level mental power users are the backbone of the Scorpio Empire. If they are all gone, what will become of the Scorpio Empire?
Just when things were heading in the worst possible direction, Dream Mech Company emerged out of nowhere, pulling the Scorpion Empire back from the brink of collapse.
The fact that even a B-level mental power user can pilot a mecha speaks volumes.
The leaders of the Scorpion Empire immediately sent people to contact the head of the Dream Mecha Company, wanting to bring this technology into the hands of the state.
The newcomer was an A-level mental power user. He was a diplomat from a prestigious family, and was arrogant and conceited.
After arriving at the headquarters of Dream Mech Company, Du Zeyu didn't waste any words and directly demanded that Qi Wang hand over the core technology.
"It's your honor to cooperate with the country. It's your good fortune that we've taken a liking to your technology. So hurry up and show us your technology!"
How could such incredible technology be placed in the hands of an ordinary person? Naturally, it should be handed over to the state for unified planning and allocation. It is absolutely unacceptable for a mere B-level mental power user to attempt to shake the foundations of the empire by mastering a skill.
Faced with such an arrogant person, Qi Wang naturally wouldn't give him a good look. He was kicked out before he even saw Qi Wang's face.
Du Zeyu attempted to use his power to pressure Qi Wang, but the powerful families of the Angel Galaxy were not to be trifled with.
The Dream Mechs had long since tied them to Qi Wang; Qi Wang's affairs were their affairs. How could they allow anyone to bully Qi Wang like this?
So what if they came from the capital planet? So what if they represented the Scorpio Empire's royal family? They'd deal with them just the same way.
Even powerful families are not monolithic; there are many people with god-level mental strength, but there are also many ordinary people with low mental strength levels.
With the levels of Saniwa-level spiritual power users dropping one after another, ordinary people who have been suppressed for a long time have also seen hope.
The sudden appearance of the Dream Mech made them even more excited. They used various methods to secretly buy the Dream Mech. After confirming that B-level mental power users could pilot the mech and that its combat capabilities were no less than those of god-level mental power users, these people could no longer suppress their ulterior motives.
They contacted Qi Wang through various means, extending goodwill and expressing their desire to cooperate with him.
Qi Wang knew, of course, what the technology he possessed meant. Countless people extended olive branches to him, and he naturally accepted them all.
Among the forces searching for him were members of the Scorpion Empire's royal family. These princes were all low-level mental power users. Previously, due to level restrictions, they had been firmly excluded from the selection of heirs. Now, with Qi Wang's Dream Mech, they also had the power to fight.
The reason why god-level mental power users can have such a high status is because they can pilot mechs, right? Now that they are no longer special, that position is naturally available to everyone.
Qi Wang was simply too lazy to play these schemes and tricks, but that didn't mean he couldn't. Even when navigating between countless forces, Qi Wang remained completely at ease, showing no signs of making a mistake.
Furthermore, relying on these forces, Qi Wang's Dream Mecha Company continued to grow and expand, quickly becoming an undeniable force in the Scorpio Empire.
The emergence of the Dream Mech directly rewrote the landscape of the Scorpion Empire. As more and more Dream Mechs went to the battlefield, ordinary people were no longer suppressed by god-level mental power users, and they also had the power to fight back.
The number of ordinary people far exceeded that of those with god-level mental power. As more and more ordinary people went to the battlefield, the situation gradually changed.
Humans began to overwhelm the Zerg, and the Zerg entrenched within the Scorpion Empire's territory even showed signs of fleeing.
After all, the two sides were evenly matched before, with humans only barely having the upper hand. Now that more and more humans are able to pilot mechs, the Zerg's situation is naturally getting worse and worse.
Although the Zerg are a low-intelligence race, the Zerg Queen is not low in intelligence. When she realized that the Zerg were no longer able to resist the Scorpion Empire's attack, the Zerg Queen chose to relocate the entire race.
As the situation gradually stabilized, Qi Wang stepped into the limelight, and all the citizens of the Scorpion Empire immediately learned who the founder of the Dream Mecha Company was, the one who gave all ordinary people the ability to pilot mechas.
The name Qi Wang, and his appearance, were remembered by all the citizens of the Scorpion Empire.
Five years later, Qi Wang's family members learned of his whereabouts again.
At this moment, those high-ranking, god-level mental power users had become useless.
However, Qi Wang also publicly stated that C-level mental power users are the lowest level; any lower, and a person's mental power simply cannot support the consumption of the mecha.
Qi Nanping and Qin Zhen are both D-level, so they cannot pilot the Dream Mech.
Even those who were once the pride of heaven have gradually accepted this reality after five years.
However, all four of their children had disappeared without a trace. Qi Nanping and Qin Zhen tried everything they could to find them, but to no avail. The couple was devastated and remained depressed.
Until they saw Qi Wang on television.
The founder of Dream Mech? He's actually their son.
The couple went to great lengths to finally get in touch with Qi Wang.
Despite the couple's unusually enthusiastic attitude, Qi Wang remained indifferent.
He simply gave the couple an unlimited black card and some gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and gemstones.
Then he said he was very busy and probably didn't have time to spend with them, and then hung up the phone.
When the two tried to call back, they couldn't reach Qi Wang at all.
In a daze, they recalled what they had done in the past. It seemed that every time Qi Wang came to them, they said they were very busy and spent very little time with Qi Wang. Now, the tables have turned, and they are the ones who have been left behind.
Angry? Not really, just a strange sense of sadness.
Five years is enough time for the Tang family to fall from a top-tier aristocratic family to become virtually unknown.
After Marshal Tang became an F-level mental power user, the entire Tang family collapsed one after another like dominoes being toppled.
After Marshal Tang was crippled, he had no interest in finding Qi Wen and her two siblings.
The Qi siblings successfully escaped, but not long after their escape, before they could even find their way back to the Qi family, they were kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to a black mine on a garbage planet.
Three exceptionally talented young men became mining slaves in a black market mine, locked deep inside the pit, where they mined day and night.
In the sunless mine, there was no distinction between day and night; each day stretched out infinitely, and they had no idea how much time had passed.
They were tortured beyond recognition, all their spirit was worn away, and the three of them were like walking corpses, constantly digging in the mine.
Later, when they were tortured to the point of near death, they heard news of Qi Wang.
Qi Wang's face appeared on that small virtual screen.
He seemed to have become a hero of the Scorpion Empire, and even the unscrupulous overseers at the black mines were praising him.
It is said that he changed the history of the Scorpion Empire and ushered in a new era of equality for all. It is said that because of his appearance, the Zerg were completely driven out of the Scorpion Empire, and the war between humans and Zerg that lasted for thousands of years came to an end.
Qi Wen and the others, with their last breaths, roared that Qi Wang was their younger brother.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"You lot are the lowest of slaves, how dare you compare yourselves to the hero Qi Wang? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves in the mirror!"
"Unworthy! You lowly ants dare to compare yourselves to gods? You are truly shameless..."
No one believed the three of them. How could Qi Wang have three older brothers and sisters mining in the black mines for a mission like that?
They must be talking nonsense and trying to extort money from Qi Wang.
The three siblings were treated as madmen. The people at the illegal mine were unwilling to treat these miners in the first place. Now that the three of them were acting crazy and accusing Qi Wang, it gave the overseers a good reason to throw them into the garbage dump and leave them to fend for themselves.
Qi Wen and the other two were completely exhausted. They lay paralyzed on the garbage mountain, unable to move, staring blankly at the torrential rain pouring down from above.
In their final moments, out of fear of death, they finally regretted their actions.
If they had known Qi Wang had such abilities, they shouldn't have treated him the way they did.
Qi Wang is now a hero praised by everyone, but they have become trash thrown into the garbage dump.
If everything could be done over again... they would definitely treat Qi Wang kindly.
The three siblings stared wide-eyed, and breathed their last amidst their deep resentment.
Meanwhile, Qi Wang sat in his luxurious office, enjoying the coffee his secretary brought him.
Coffee in the interstellar era seems to be not much different from Nestlé, and Nestlé may even be better.
Hmm, next time I should put some Nestlé in the space.
