Chapter 244 The Death Penalty

"Let's go," Zhong Li Feiyu said to Lu Wanqing and Xiao Zhong Liyi after handling matters.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Zhong Liyi immediately agreed, feeling delighted.

Lu Wanqing raised her hand and ruffled Xiao Zhong Liyi's hair. For some reason, her mood was rather complex now.

They went to the training room together. Lu Wanqing and Xiao Zhong Liyi entered the training room. The little one practiced diligently, and Lu Wanqing also enjoyed her "game" playing.

After this day, life returned to its normal rhythm from the second day onward. Xiao Zhong Liyi went to school every day, and Lu Wanqing, as before, seized the time to go to the Mu Corporation. Using the various high-tech equipment of the Mu Corporation, she crafted the super 3s mechs, the Fox and the Qilin. She was already very skilled in making small mechs and did not spend too much time. In about half a month, both small mechs were completed and installed.

Mu Sijie was also very happy. The two of them inspected the two small mechs again, made minor repairs to any unfinished parts, and then took the two small mechs for testing.

Apart from the performance design of the two mechs being different from other mechs, everything else was fine, just like the Little Phoenix at the beginning.

After both small mechs were completed, Lu Wanqing first contacted Yu Nong. She wanted Yu Nong to bring Xiao Yu Shu over so she could give the small mech to Xiao Shushu first.

The communication connected quickly, but the projection behind Yu Nong surprised Lu Wanqing. It was a lush forest, which didn't seem to be at home.

Although Lu Wanqing was curious, she didn't ask any more questions. She quickly stated her purpose.

Yu Nong nodded, then slowly replied, "I'm out collecting plants recently... I don't have time to go back for now."

Lu Wanqing was slightly surprised and quickly said, "If you don't have time, I can deliver it to Xiao Shushu myself."

Among the children she could contact, everyone had a small mech, but Xiao Shushu didn't. Lu Wanqing worried that the child would be sad if she gave it too late.

Yu Nong frowned, "No need. My home... my family situation is a bit complicated. If you go alone, it might be troublesome. Let's talk about it after I get back."

Lu Wanqing: "???"

Lu Wanqing was a bit bewildered. She had investigated before and thought the Yu family might have the simplest relationship among these families, but she didn't expect their situation to be complicated too?

However, since Yu Nong said so, Lu Wanqing couldn't say anything more and could only agree for the time being.

The matter of the small mechs was temporarily put aside. Lu Wanqing also handed over the design blueprints of the five small mechs to Mu Sijie, letting the Mu family research them. She had promised before that these small mechs would be released as a series.

When Mu Sijie received the blueprints, he told Lu Wanqing about another matter, which was about mech levels.

Making a super 3s level mech was not difficult for Lu Wanqing, but it was not easy for others at all. Even for Mu Sijie, he had tried to replicate the super 3s mechs Lu Wanqing made before, but he found it very difficult.

The mechs' threads, details, and many other delicate parts – even using his mental power to its limit, he could hardly achieve the same results as Lu Wanqing. The differences in details ultimately manifested directly in the level of the mechs produced.

Even with the same design blueprints, the details Lu Wanqing made were more refined. This was the key to becoming a particularly powerful super 3s mech when the mech was finally tested for its level.

Sometimes Mu Sijie had to smile bitterly. He had always been researching mechs and wanted to develop more advanced mechs. But in the end, he realized that in this field, besides effort, talent was also important. To make a super 3s mech, one probably needed a terrifying mental power like Wanqing's. For people like them... being able to make a 3s mech would probably be the limit.

"So, you mean that to make a super 3s mech, it's likely to require mental power like mine?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask after hearing Mu Sijie's explanation.

Mu Sijie nodded, "Yes."

Mu Sijie paused for a second and then said, "Not entirely. With mental power like mine, if I go all out, I can barely make a super 3s mech, but the production process is far from as easy as yours. Perhaps you can make one in a month, or even finish both small mechs in half a month, but I..."

Mu Sijie took a deep breath and then said seriously, "I tried before, but it took me nearly half a year to barely make one super 3s mech. And I tested it. The quality of the mech I made still has a huge gap compared to yours."

The implication was that even if he made a super 3s mech with all his might, there was still a significant difference in quality between the super 3s mech he made and the super 3s mech Lu Wanqing made.

"I've thought about the release of the small mech series for a long time. If all of them are made into super 3s mechs, the difficulty will be too high. I want to reduce the level of some mechs, such as ordinary B-class mechs, A-class mechs, or better ones like S-class mechs. These mechs can be made by general mech masters and are more affordable for the public, so more people would buy them," Mu Sijie said.

Lu Wanqing nodded, "Yes."

Mu Sijie thought for a moment and then added, "I also want to have the exterior of the mechs adjusted. The mechs you designed for the children are very cute, which is also your affection for them. Releasing the exact same mechs might cause some disappointment in the children's hearts."

Lu Wanqing quickly understood Mu Sijie's meaning and nodded, "This is simple."

It was indeed simple. For example, the Phoenix, which she designed for Xiao Cuicui, had the appearance of a divine beast and was very beautiful. But for release, it could be replaced with other ordinary small birds, such as sparrows, white cranes, or other birds; they were all similar.

The other mechs were similar. The core structure remained unchanged, and the exterior of the mechs could be modified casually, adopting a more ordinary appearance. This would not affect the experience of the five children while also achieving the goal of releasing the small mech series.

"Okay." Mu Sijie nodded.

"If you have no other objections, I'll have people make arrangements. If we switch to ordinary types of mechs, the first batch of small mechs should be released within a short time," Mu Sijie said in the next moment.

Lu Wanqing nodded, "Alright."

With the matter of the small mechs arranged, Lu Wanqing quickly threw herself into the next phase of her work. She had joined the Federation's Supreme Weapons Bureau before but had not researched the weapons inside. Now that she had time, she could start learning diligently.

She had previously designed a blueprint for a super 3s mech for Mu Sijie, and she had also promised to design a super 3s mech for each of the other military regions. This promise could not be broken. She also had to quickly understand weapons and then quickly make the mechs for everyone and deliver them.

Lu Wanqing felt that since she was receiving a salary from the Federation, she had to be responsible. Promises made must be kept.

Life became busy again unconsciously. Lu Wanqing began her routine of sending Xiao Zhong Liyi to kindergarten every day and then heading from the military dependents' area to the Federation's Supreme Weapons Bureau to study weapons. It was a bit tough, but it was fulfilling and happy. She loved to learn!

Two months passed by unconsciously. During these two months, Song Yan visited the military dependents' area to find Zhong Li Feiyu several times, wanting Zhong Li Feiyu to intercede for her parents and help them get released.

However, some things could not be agreed to. This time, the Presidential Palace planned behind the scenes and directly targeted the Zhong Li family's lives. Zhong Li Feiyu was lucky to survive and resolve this crisis and save the Zhong Li family and the Seventh Legion. Now that the truth was out, how could he let the President and his wife go?

The President and his wife were executed with the highest penalty – death!
