"Mommy, can I try it now?" Little Zhong Li Yi asked, unable to contain himself after watching for a while.
He really wanted to get into the mecha immediately and experience it. The child's eyes were sparkling.
Lu Wan Qing shook her head. "No, this mecha hasn't been tested yet, so there might be safety hazards. We'll talk about it after testing tomorrow."
Little Zhong Li Yi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly nodded obediently. "Okay!"
Zhong Li Fei Yu was also in a good mood. Although Lu Wan Qing had long said she would design a mecha for Xiao Yi, and he had seen how busy she had been recently, he still felt it was incredible that the mecha had actually been made.
Half an hour passed quickly. Lu Wan Qing stored the mecha back into her spatial button and said with a smile, "Alright, we'll talk about the mecha tomorrow. Shouldn't we go for training now?"
Hearing Lu Wan Qing say this, everyone reacted. Zhong Li Fei Yu smiled and nodded. "Yes."
Little Zhong Li Yi was also happy. He nodded. "Mhm!"
The three of them agreed and set off together for the training room. Song Yan sat alone in the living room, ignored by everyone. Seeing Zhong Li Fei Yu about to leave, she subconsciously stood up to follow. However, as they walked to the training room, her unease grew.
At the entrance to the training room, Song Yan finally stopped. She watched Lu Wan Qing and Zhong Li Fei Yu lead little Zhong Li Yi inside. Finally, she gritted her teeth and walked away.
It had been a month, and despite her efforts, there had been no effect. If she still felt confident before today, seeing the super 3S mecha Lu Wan Qing had brought out today had shattered that confidence.
A super 3S mecha was not a stray cat or dog. If Lu Wan Qing truly had this capability, whether she designed it herself or utilized her relationship with the Mu family to have them design it, it would be extremely important to the Zhong Li family.
For the first time, Song Yan saw a threat in Lu Wan Qing, the threat that Zhong Li Fei Yu might actually choose to marry Lu Wan Qing instead of forming a political alliance with her.
Song Yan left the military family area and quickly took a hovercar back to the Presidential Palace.
Presidential Palace.
Lena was surprised to see her daughter return and hurried downstairs, asking with concern, "Why are you back?"
Song Yan's face was grim. Seeing her mother, she couldn't help but say, "Mom, Lu Wan Qing is a super 3S mecha master. Today, she brought out another super 3S mecha, designed for Xiao Yi. It's very small, and they say it's a super 3S mecha."
Designing mechas for children that were super 3S meant that if the Zhong Li family wasn't foolish, they would choose Lu Wan Qing over her, wouldn't they? After all, for the military, nothing was more important than actual weaponry!
If the Seventh Legion eventually had a super 3S mecha for every soldier, Song Yan couldn't imagine the scene. The Seventh Legion would then become the most powerful army in the entire federation, no, in the entire galaxy!
"Super 3S mecha?" Lena was shocked.
Song Yan nodded. "Yes."
Song Yan worried, "Mom, I think the General might truly not want to form a political alliance with me anymore."
"Yan Yan, don't worry. Let Mom think," Lena also became flustered. She rubbed her forehead and said.
Song Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn't.
In the evening, the President returned. Lena quickly pulled her husband into the study, and the couple anxiously discussed the matter.
They had originally been certain of securing the Seventh Legion, but now, inside the study, both of them looked extremely grim.
"If we absolutely cannot obtain it, then we must not let him marry Lu Wan Qing," Lena said coldly after a long discussion.
If they couldn't be teammates, they would eventually become opponents, or even potential enemies. They couldn't let Zhong Li Fei Yu marry Lu Wan Qing. If Zhong Li Fei Yu truly married Lu Wan Qing and gained the support of super 3S mechas, then the entire federation would be controlled by the Seventh Legion, something they absolutely could not allow.
President Song Kuo did not speak, or rather, he implicitly agreed with Lena's words.
No one knew about the conversation in the President's study. At this moment, in the military family area, Lu Wan Qing and Xiao Yi were training in the simulated Zerg battlefield training room. Xiao Yi had already reached the sixty-sixth level, and Lu Wan Qing had also reached the sixty-sixth level, no more, no less.
Mother and son were simultaneously tackling the same level, competing to see who could pass first.
However, this level was clearly not easy. Little Zhong Li Yi was only five years old, and his predictions were often inaccurate. He was frequently ambushed by small bugs, and the health bar above his head dropped little by little, while he only managed to kill a small portion of the Zerg.
Although Lu Wan Qing's prediction ability was strong and she wasn't afraid of the Zerg, her physical fitness was too poor, even worse than Xiao Yi's. The early levels were nothing compared to the later ones. The Zerg in the later levels were not only fast but also intelligent!
They would fly in the air and suddenly dive down to attack her when Lu Wan Qing wasn't paying attention. Lu Wan Qing's health bar also dropped rapidly. Like Xiao Yi, she hadn't killed many Zerg on the sixty-sixth level before the health bar above her head was depleted by the Zerg, forcing her to admit defeat. It was infuriating!
Lu Wan Qing was too exhausted to continue to the next level. She went to the control room. Although helpless, she still chose to stop training.
The door of the training room opened, and she stepped out.
As she walked out of the room, Lu Wan Qing instinctively glanced to her side. She wanted to see if Xiao Yi had come out. As she looked, she happened to see the door of the adjacent training room open, and Xiao Yi also emerged. Could it be that Xiao Yi had also failed so quickly?
Little Zhong Li Yi came out of the training room and also looked towards Lu Wan Qing's training room first. Then he saw Lu Wan Qing and was stunned.
Zhong Li Fei Yu walked over and said, "Let's go rest over there for a while."
Lu Wan Qing was indeed tired. She nodded. "Okay."
Lu Wan Qing took little Zhong Li Yi to rest nearby.
Zhong Li Fei Yu accompanied them until they had rested, and then they all went home together.
Upon returning home, Butler Xiao came to report that Song Yan had left. They were all surprised.
However, Song Yan's departure was a good thing. Zhong Li Fei Yu and little Zhong Li Yi were relieved, and father and son were visibly happy.
But it was getting late. Lu Wan Qing took Xiao Yi upstairs. Mother and son bathed early. Lu Wan Qing read bedtime stories to the little one. However, while telling the story, she suddenly thought, could she add a story-reading function to the child's mecha?
Mechas were powerful and could be used for combat, but when not fighting, could they also accompany the child like a nanny robot, telling stories?
As soon as this thought arose, Lu Wan Qing felt it was very feasible. With the technology of the interstellar era, loading such a function would be very easy. Moreover...
The time she could spend with her child was actually very limited. If she could record her voice telling stories during her free time and save it in the mecha, then even if she wasn't around, when the child asked the mecha to tell them stories, it would still give them a sense of their mommy being nearby?
