Chương 100: Sequence Mechs

Although it is still unclear why there is such a difference in the relationship between the Ye family and Ye Lingyue.

But it doesn't seem that important now.

Just as he was about to savor the soft jade in his arms, he noticed Guan Yunyang's gaze and quickly pushed him away with a serious expression.

Ye Lingyue may have been blinded by guilt, but Guan Yunyang still remembered Yu Xin's existence.

"Let me start with the Ye family."

He cleared his throat and began.

Lin Shuxuan knew that Guan Yunyang wanted to reveal the Ye family's schemes and strategies, so he listened attentively.

"Lingyue is the Ye family's most important asset and their trump card for returning to the Federation's nine clans, so no accidents can be allowed."

"It was my plan for her to partner with you, and it was expected that you two would develop feelings for each other. But coincidentally, the Ye family will never accept this outcome."

Lin Shuxuan was stunned upon hearing this.

He really wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start.

Guan Yunyang added.

"Because I believe you can take her away from that fate."

Lin Shuxuan frowned, a surge of resentment rising in his heart for no reason. This had nothing to do with Ye Lingyue, but rather with Guan Yunyang's deception.

"You should have told me this a long time ago! Your leniency has allowed the Ye family to stab me in the back so many times!"

After realizing that Guan Yunyang did indeed have ulterior motives, he spoke with much more confidence.

Surprisingly, Guan Yunyang apologized very readily.

"I'm sorry, but this was a last resort. If you understood Ye Lingyue's significance to the Ye family and the potential consequences, would you still approach her?"

This is the truth... Lin Shuxuan doesn't think he's despicable; it's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm. He initially approached Ye Lingyue out of envy for the Ye family's power, but he never expected such a relationship behind the scenes.

The Ye family's attention to her was almost pathological.

Just because we got a little closer, we were targeted by various methods and means.

"But why?"

Lin Shuxuan was puzzled.

While Ye Lingyue possesses exceptional beauty and astonishing martial arts talent, she has a fatal flaw compared to other prodigies in the Federation.

Kindness.

Not ruthless enough to the enemy, and not ruthless enough to oneself.

The other geniuses in the Federation are not only exceptionally talented, but their pursuit of power is also insane. Whether it is Tang Qian with three hearts or Qin Feng with four arms, they are willing to give up their human form in order to become stronger.

While Ye Lingyue is indeed outstanding, she is probably not to the point where a major family would disregard everything.

Faced with this question, Guan Yunyang did not answer directly, but instead asked in return:

"You've seen Lu Xiaoguo's mecha, what did you think of it?"

He recalled the dragon-headed mech that descended upon the world and the punch that nearly destroyed everything.

"Very strong, stronger than can be imagined."

Gong Yuan and the others should all be at the peak of the Saint realm.

This is the limit of human martial arts strength that he knows; it seems that no stronger individuals have appeared in the Federation.

Even with the added weaponry, such a person would find it difficult to gain the upper hand against a star-level mech.

Even so, this mech, which embodies the pinnacle of human technology, is like a three-year-old child in front of that dragon-headed mech.

They were completely powerless to fight back.

Guan Yunyang then continued.

"The Ye family also has a mecha like that. For a thousand years, Ye Lingyue has been the only one who is suitable for it."

"Cosmic-level, sequence mech, the pinnacle of individual combat power known to human civilization, the pillar that has protected a family for thousands of years."

So that's how it is... Lin Shuxuan suddenly understood. In this way, the Ye family's concern about Ye Lingyue's illness became clear.

As the pilot of this mecha, she was not allowed to have any personal feelings; she could only live as the most loyal supporter of the Ye family.

Now that he knew this inside story, Lin Shuxuan had a new question.

"If that's the case, what's the difference between having me here and just feeding them kills?"

Ye Lingyue carries the hopes of the Ye family's revival on her shoulders. Lin Shuxuan has a system and is confident in his ultimate achievements, but why should Guan Yunyang bet on him?

"Because there is also a space-class mech in the military academy, codenamed 'Apollo'."

"I want you to be the pilot of that mech."

Lin Shuxuan immediately understood Guan Yunyang's scheme and the path he had planned.

If he could pilot that mecha, he would indeed have the right to speak on equal terms with the Ye family. Of course, in addition to that, status, honor, and wealth would be readily available.

Perhaps it also includes beauty...

"Why me?"

These kinds of mechs must have very strict requirements for pilots, otherwise the Ye family would only have produced one Ye Lingyue in a thousand years.

While his abilities are certainly impressive, that shouldn't be the reason Guan Yunyang chose him.

"Remember the trolley problem we discussed? Only the most virtuous and good person can drive Apollo."

Guan Yunyang smiled slightly as he said this.

Good people will be rewarded.

So, these kinds of mechs must meet specific conditions or perform certain specific behaviors in order to be piloted?

"One last thing, what happens to my Star Orbit Society membership?"

The Federation's attitude towards the Star Orbit Society was already very negative, and Li Rufeng had just thoroughly purged the military academy. Executing him now would be in line with the will of the people.

Especially since the Ye family might be pulling the strings behind the scenes.

"Don't worry, no matter what, you saved the military academy."

"Furthermore, those important figures are very interested in the power of the Star Orbit Society. You can go and negotiate with them yourself when you have the chance."

"Just don't publicize it too much; the trainees' bottom line isn't that flexible."

Lin Shuxuan remained silent.

Indeed, the Star Orbit Society's power path is completely different from martial arts, and he himself seems quite controllable. Compared to execution, communication is obviously more valuable.

Of course, there are many ways to do this.

Without Guan Yunyang's endorsement, being dissected and studied would have been a more likely outcome.

"If Lu Xiaoguo and I hadn't intervened, would Li Rufeng's plan have succeeded?"

Guan Yunyang shook his head and pointed upwards.

What he was referring to was clearly not the ceiling, but the kinetic orbit in space.

"In the worst-case scenario, the track could tear everything on the surface, and Li Rufeng's scheme would have been a complete failure from the very beginning."

Space-based kinetic orbits do indeed possess a formidable strike capability.

Within the virtual battle network, he was possessed by the dragon-headed mech, but he was annihilated inch by inch by the beams of light descending from the orbit.

The offensive power they displayed was indeed terrifying.

Even cosmic-level mechs cannot withstand the ultimate creations of human civilization.

Of course, this might be because he was controlled by the mecha. The Dragon Head Mecha piloted by Lu Xiaoguo was obviously much, much stronger.

After sorting out the events, Lin Shuxuan prepared to take his leave.

Having experienced so much, so many ups and downs, he was a little tired.

But Guan Yunyang stopped him again:

"That lord wishes to see you."

After saying that, he looked a little strange and added a sentence.

"It's Lu Xiaoguo."
