Chapter 873: Five Mechas That Cost 1.6 Billion in Total Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Beta Planet, inside the Li Family"s manor.
This was a super gigantic manor on Beta Planet with all kinds of structures that were a thousand meters high and all kinds of expensive s.p.a.cecraft. Countless servants walked about the manor. It was really a flouris.h.i.+ng sight to behold.
But for this gigantic manor that occupied a landma.s.s of 600,000 plus square kilometers, it had only six true masters.
This was the strength of the Li Family. On this Beta Planet, there weren"t many gigantic manors like this. After all, the landma.s.s of Beta Planet wasn"t very big, most of it was covered by the sea which had all kinds and sorts of King-level beasts in it. Even those powerful people on Beta Planet didn"t dare to risk venturing into the ocean.
And now, in a large conference room inside the manor.
Li Tianxing"s father Li Hanhong was looking at Li Tianxing with a proud smile on his face. "Tianxing, this times" matter is considered over now, but you must be more mindful in the future. If this kind of situation happens again next time, at least make it look better on the surface, don"t be so rash. For example, during the battle with the Zergs this time, the enemy"s number is too large, you can suggest fighting while leaving. Then send some death squads to attract the Zergs attention. Then, once you increase your distance with the Zergs, you can leave and return home. This way, the result is that you weren"t a match for their numbers and retreated strategically. I will help to put in some words for you and you might even gain an honorary reward such as a brave warrior or something. Wouldn"t that be much better than the situation now?"
It must be said that Li Hanhong"s words were quite insightful.
Towards the battle with the Zergs, it was normal to have both victory and defeat. It was a fact that the Zergs won through their numbers, so there were too many situations where humans lost to the Zergs because of the difference in numbers. At such a time, as long as they could do a good escape battle and send death squads to attract the Zerg army"s attention, who could say anything against them? No one could expect them to stay and wait for death, right?
Therefore, the mistake that Li Tianxing made this time was to leave too early. If not, this situation wouldn"t have happened.
"I understand, Father." His father had, after all, saved him this time, so the normally arrogant Li Tianxing was truly grateful this time. He said in a deep voice, "I will be more mindful next time."
"Yup, that"s good." Li Hanhong smiled and patted Li Tianxing on the shoulder lightly. "Work hard, this times" Galaxy Super Mecha Wars may appear to be just a normal entertainment project like last time, but from the final reward for the champion, I sensed something very interesting."
"Hm? What is it?" Li Tianxing"s curiosity was instantly aroused.
The Galaxy Super Mecha Wars was held a few times every year, but why did his father say that this times" war was interesting?
"The Azure Root Bones-Forging Gra.s.s is indeed very rare." Li Hanhong smiled and said, "In the past wars, the normal rewards were mainly cash. The Main City-level victory reward is normally 200 million cash, this has always been the case. But this time, the reward is actually the Azure Root Bones-Forging Gra.s.s. Why is that?"
Mentioning this, Li Tianxing frowned and pondered on this too.
That"s true. The usual Mecha Wars were normally split into district-level small scale battles. It was basically just entertainment.
But this time, it was directly a Main City-level war, and the reward changed from money to this Azure Root Bones-Forging Gra.s.s. One must know that this thing was a resource owned by the High n.o.bles of Dimu Star Sector and they wouldn"t easily give it out. Therefore, it was difficult for even the Galaxy Aristocrats to obtain it. But this time…
"Could it be that Dimu Star Sector is up to something?" Li Tianxing frowned and said.
"Haha, you are indeed my genius son." Li Hanhong laughed and said, "That"s right, that"s probably the case. Do you still remember the genius who got past all 30 levels in the Tower of Trials?"
"Yes, I remember." Li Tianxing nodded and asked, "Could it be that this reward is because of him?"
"Most likely so." Li Hanhong touched his chin, smiled and said, "According to my latest news, in the entire Dimu Star Sector which has over 2,000 galaxies, only six people got past all 30 levels in the Tower of Trials. The other five have all been found, and four of them were recruited by the High n.o.bles and are being groomed now. Although the last one didn"t join them, he also built quite a good relations.h.i.+p with the High n.o.bles."
Li Hanhong said in a deep voice, "Only the one in our Milky Way is still unknown until now! There"s not a single bit of information on him! This person seems to have vanished into thin air, no one knows where he is, who he is. Therefore, this time, the Dimu Star Sector High n.o.bles changed the reward with the purpose of finding this person!"
Such a big compet.i.tion for the purpose of finding one person! What kind of resources were being spent on this!?
Mentioning this, Li Tianxing was more or less a bit dejected. "But what has this got to do with this, I am not that person."
"How is this unrelated?" Li Hanhong laughed and said, "The Galaxy Super Mecha Wars this time has received the main attention of the High n.o.bles, especially our Shenluo City! You don"t know yet, right? There is a High n.o.ble in our Shenluo City right now. His name is Malone. According to my insider news, he will be watching the compet.i.tion this time personally! Do you know what that signifies?"
"This… This…" This time, Li Tianxing was totally excited!
A High n.o.ble personally watching the compet.i.tion! If he could become the champion for such a compet.i.tion…
Even if he wasn"t the super-genius who pa.s.sed 30 levels in the Tower of Trials, he could at least attract the attention of this High n.o.ble too!
By that time, if his father helped to introduce him to the High n.o.ble and he was able to receive the heavy grooming of the High n.o.bles—if that happened, he would be on a totally different level from the Galaxy Aristocrats, from Jiang Qianxue, from Hong Dali.
By that time, he could play that annoying guy Hong Dali in whatever ways he wanted to!
"Father, I understand!" Li Tianxing clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "I know what I should do now!"
"Hahaha, you are indeed my son!" Li Tianxing laughed loudly and patted Li Tianxing on the shoulder heavily. "Do your best. This time, I spent 1.6 billion on your compet.i.tion. I have helped you set a good foundation!"
1.6 billion!
Just hearing this figure alone caused Li Tianxing"s heart to jump heavily. Mechas built with 1.6 billion…
How terrifying would such mechas be!?
"Come with me." Since he had already instructed his son on what to do, Li Hanhong brought Li Tianxing to see the mecha he had prepared for him. This was his biological son, after all. Therefore, Li Hanhong had invested heavily in him this time.
Very quickly, the two of them came to the manor"s large-sized mecha warehouse.
There were already four people waiting in front of the warehouse, three males and one female. Upon seeing Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing, they instantly bowed and greeted. "Master!"
Li Tianxing knew these four people.
The male with blue hair on the left was Bessimo, Fifth-Order Planet Warrior. All of his attributes were very strong, and he was a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat. Being the Li Family"s subordinate, his loyalty to the Li Family was not a problem. Even Li Tianxing could only slightly win over him on one-to-one combat—which means to say that Bessimo"s combat ability was practically on par with that of Feng Wuhen!
The second person from the left was a woman about 26 or 27 years old. She was very beautiful, had long pink hair, and looked very amiable. Her name was Harman, quite a good name. Of course, her strength was quite good too… Fifth-Order Planet Warrior, only slightly weaker than Bessimo, and a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat too. If Bessimo"s strength was 95, then her strength would be 94. Just very slightly weaker.
The third was a male about 30 years old called Mark. He looked like a very honest and simple person, but he was a Fifth-Order Planet Warrior too. Also a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat. His strength was akin to 93.
The fourth was a young man about 25 to 26 years old with purple short hair and a scar on his face. His name was Nelson, Fifth-Order Planet Warrior, Black-level Honorary Aristocrat, strength akin to 92.
These four people were currently the strongest combat force in the Li Family. Compared to Li Tianxing, the only difference between them was their ident.i.ty. They were considered to be of normal birth, not as n.o.ble as Li Tianxing who was a Galaxy Aristocrat. That"s all.
Other than that, they were practically the same.
"Haha, with the help from you guys, it definitely won"t be a problem this time!" Li Tianxing had at least 80% confidence in winning the compet.i.tion with these four people on his team!
"Yup, this chance is hard to come, after all." Li Hanhong smiled and said, "If not, I am really reluctant to ask them to join the compet.i.tion. After all, they are the core strength of our Li Family. We can"t expose their strength to outsiders easily."
After saying this, Li Hanhong opened the warehouse door. Inside, five terrifying super-mechas stood inside!
Each of these five mechas was at least 40 meters tall. Their colors varied, and the only similarity about them was that they all looked very formidable!
"This… This is…" Just one look at them and Li Tianxing was completely astonished. Now, he finally understood that his father had really invested heavily this time!
"How is it? These five mechas can be said to be the highest technology in the Milky Way Alliance now." Li Hanhong stood in front of the mechas and looked like an ant. He lightly patted one, smiled and said, "These five mechas were all built with the strongest metal in the universe, Immium alloy. On them are installed all kinds of super weapons that we, the Galaxy Aristocrats, developed! It isn"t an overstatement to say that the main cannons of a s.p.a.ce carrier are incomparable to the weapons on these five mechas!"
Even the main cannon of a s.p.a.ce carrier was incomparable to the weapons on these five mechas! Such a thing…
"Come, let me explain to you what kind of power these five mechas possess!" Li Hanhong smiled and started to introduce the terrifying power of these five mechas!
