All the necessary tasks were completed, and Lu Wanqing settled down to wait for Zhong Li Feiyu and little Zhong Li Yi to return home. She hesitated several times, wondering if she should contact Steward Xiao and tell them she had found Zhong Li Feiyu.
However, Lu Wanqing quickly dismissed the idea. She didn't know what the situation was like with the Zhong Li family. If Steward Xiao's optical computer was being monitored, then sending him a message would undoubtedly expose her and Zhong Li Feiyu's whereabouts, and invite trouble.
Since there were things she shouldn't do, Lu Wanqing decided to take out her blueprints again and continue drawing. Although she had finished selling the blueprints, she still had two unfinished ones: the mini mechs for little Shushu and the space pirate cub.
Thinking of the other two cubs, Lu Wanqing felt a softness in her heart; she loved them very much.
Lu Wanqing had already learned about little Yu Shu's personality through the interstellar net a while ago and finally decided to make a cute little fox mech for the child. Yes, the one that many people from ancient Earth times were familiar with, the one that liked to hide in bushes in games and could instantly defeat opponents!
Little Yu Shu's personality was quiet and well-behaved. Fighting, or being too flashy, might not suit the child's temperament. Conversely, Yu Nong worked in the Academy of Sciences and researched ancient Earth plants. Little Yu Shu also seemed to like ancient Earth plants, influenced by her father. It was because of this that Lu Wanqing immediately thought of the familiar crouching fox, which matched little Shu Shu so well!
Perhaps because she had a goal in mind, Lu Wanqing drew the design very smoothly. A particularly cute fiery red little fox unknowingly leaped onto the paper, looking very beautiful!
In the evening, when little Zhong Li Yi returned home with his father after a day of hunting and selling their prey, Lu Wanqing's hand-drawn blueprints were still out. The little boy saw the hand-drawn picture of the fox, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he said, "This is a fox!"
Lu Wanqing looked up at little Yi and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's a fox."
"Is this the mini mech designed for sister Shushu?" the little boy quickly asked.
Lu Wanqing nodded, "Yes."
Little Zhong Li Yi looked at the fox on the blueprint for a moment, then said seriously, "The fox is also very beautiful!"
Lu Wanqing stopped and raised her hand to rub little Zhong Li Yi's head, "Mm!"
Lu Wanqing finished drawing the inspiration she had for the mech's internal structure before looking up at Zhong Li Feiyu.
Zhong Li Feiyu said, "The harvest was very good today. Xiao Yi and I caught quite a bit of prey. We sold it for three hundred interstellar coins!"
Three hundred?
That wasn't a small amount!
Lu Wanqing thought about it and then voiced her idea.
Zhong Li Feiyu listened to her plan and was very surprised, "You plan to build a mech yourself and then sell it on the black market?"
Lu Wanqing nodded, "Yes, mechs are very valuable. Selling one mech would definitely be enough to pay for your medical treatment."
Not only would it be enough, but after paying for Zhong Li Feiyu's treatment, there would likely be a significant amount left, enough for them to live a comfortable life.
Zhong Li Feiyu looked at Lu Wanqing, never expecting that one day he would be living off a woman's earnings.
However, selling mechs was indeed profitable.
"Won't building a mech be too hard for you?" Zhong Li Feiyu hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"No, if it's just an ordinary A-class mech, it's very easy," Lu Wanqing said.
She wasn't bragging. She had built several super SSS-class mechs before. An A-class mech was incredibly easy for her.
"Dad, Mommy is super good at building mechs, even better than Uncle Mu!" little Zhong Li Yi pulled Zhong Li Feiyu's hand and said.
Of course, she was very good. He had gone hunting with Xiao Yi today, and Xiao Yi had told him a lot. It turned out that Lu Wanqing really did build all the super SSS-class mechs. And Xiao Yi's panda mech, despite being so small, was incredibly powerful and had been a great help in the forest today.
"Alright, I'll go check out the black market tonight and see if I can buy the materials," Zhong Li Feiyu said the next moment.
Although relying on a woman felt strange, he understood the current situation better. The Marshal's Mansion was under immense pressure every day, and he had to recover his memories and return to handle matters as soon as possible to calm everything down.
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Wanqing also felt relieved and nodded, "Okay."
Since there were plans for the evening, dinner had to be made earlier. Lu Wanqing quickly put away the blueprint she was drawing and stood up, saying, "I'll go make dinner."
Lu Wanqing said this and went to get busy.
Zhong Li Feiyu didn't stand idle either. He couldn't cook, but he had watched Lu Wanqing clean the prey yesterday, so he roughly knew how to clean it. Therefore, he took charge of cleaning the prey, and Lu Wanqing only needed to cook the meat into the desired dishes.
With the three of them working together, their efficiency was very high. Dinner was soon ready, and they all sat at the same table and ate dinner together.
After eating their fill, Lu Wanqing had another question: where was the black market?
However, this was not a concern for her, as Zhong Li Feiyu seemed to have a good grasp of such matters and could handle it.
Lu Wanqing also wanted to go to the black market, but Zhong Li Feiyu refused. The reason was that the black market was too dangerous, and it would be difficult for him to protect both Lu Wanqing and Xiao Yi at the same time.
Lu Wanqing herself didn't mind, but thinking of Xiao Yi, she agreed with Zhong Li Feiyu's decision. Xiao Yi was still young, and if anything dangerous or accidental were to happen at the black market, it would be truly unfortunate.
"Write down the materials you need, and I'll go buy them," Zhong Li Feiyu said to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing thought it was a good idea, so she took out paper and pen and wrote down all the materials she needed. Not only that, but Lu Wanqing also looked up the information on her optical computer, so Zhong Li Feiyu could identify the materials and ensure there were no mistakes before he left with three optical computers.
Zhong Li Feiyu left, and only Lu Wanqing and little Zhong Li Yi remained at home.
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and then asked little Zhong Li Yi about his hunting trip in the forest with his father that day.
In fact, when they were at the Marshal's Mansion before, Lu Wanqing had already asked the Marshal to find a professional mech instructor for the child, and he had trained for a while. However, that was all training. This was the first time he had gone out for practical experience, accompanying his father.
When little Zhong Li Yi mentioned the hunting trip in the forest that day, his eyes lit up, and he immediately happily described all the situations he encountered in the forest to Lu Wanqing.
Zhong Li Feiyu was more experienced than Lu Wanqing in finding mutated animals. Compared to Lu Wanqing's previous fruitless trip into the forest with the child, Zhong Li Feiyu and the child had a much smoother time after entering the forest, and they quickly found mutated animals.
Zhong Li Feiyu intentionally wanted to see the super SSS-class mini mech's combat performance, so he let the child take the lead, with him commanding from the side and only stepping in to help if the child couldn't handle it.
However, he didn't let the child fight entirely alone. For some more dangerous mutated animals, Zhong Li Feiyu would also fight alongside the child.
"Mommy, the panda is really powerful! Those mutated animals couldn't defeat the panda. When they attacked, I didn't feel any pain, and the panda wasn't damaged. And when I caught them, those mutated animals couldn't move anymore. The panda's strength is also immense, so powerful!" little Zhong Li Yi said excitedly to Lu Wanqing, his eyes shining brightly!
