Ling Lan pointed at the various mecha parts in the shop and asked curiously, "There are people who play with mechas here too?"
Military mechas were all taken care of by the military due to the technology involved. As for the bodyguard mechas of the aristocratic families, most of them would be taken care of by the mecha companies. Even if there were outsourced services, they wouldn't be given to a small mecha shop like the Wang family. Thus, the customers of the Wang family's mecha shop could only use normal mechas that didn't have any destructive power.
Grandpa Wang smiled but didn't reply. On the other hand, Wang Qi replied without hesitation, "We have underground mecha arena battles here. Those people like to come here to modify their mechas."
Grandpa Wang could only shake his head and sigh inwardly when he saw that his grandson was being honest.
"There are underground mecha arena battles here too?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect the seemingly peaceful and primitive Planet Muyang to have an underground casino that only existed on prosperous planets. Moreover, it was a top-class mecha battle arena.
"Of course. As long as you can become the champion on Planet Muyang, you will be able to enter Mairfa's mecha arena." Wang Qi looked forward to it. He really wanted to see the most famous casino planet in human society.
Mai 'er Fa was an independent planet at the edge of human society. This planet was very prosperous and only engaged in the gambling industry. The most famous gambling industry was the mecha battle arena. From low-level mecha operators to top-level imperial operators, there were all sorts of people on this planet. Of course, these imperial operators were exiled mecha operators. They didn't belong to any country. However, these mecha operators weren't welcomed by any country. They were forbidden from entering the country so they could only move around in the lawless areas.
Mairfa entertained hundreds of millions of tourists and gamblers every day. It was the holy land that all the mecha operators wanted to go to. As long as they entered Mairfa, they would be able to reach the top instantly. The commission from every battle would allow them to live a good life for two to three years. Even if they died in the arena, they would still receive a large sum of money. Their wives and children wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.
Due to the pressure of life, a portion of the poor who had no chance of entering the military chose this dangerous path. There were also some who chose to become mercenaries for interstellar adventures. However, it was undeniable that they all wanted to give their families a better life. For this, even if their lives were in danger, they still wanted to fight for a future.
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and do your job." Grandpa Wang's expression changed when he heard his grandson talking about Mairfa. He was furious.
Seeing the expressions of the Wang grandfather and grandson, Ling Lan seemed to understand something. She didn't stay any longer. She arranged a time to go home with Liu Aihua, and then walked out of the shop to continue walking around this quaint little town that was not much different from the pictures in her previous life.
Only when the sun was setting did Ling Lan return to the mecha shop to pick up Liu Aihua. The moment she reached home, a white ball pounced at her.
Little White's eyes were filled with tears as it whined pitifully.
"Master, you actually left me here. You're so heartless." Little White complained.
"Didn't I find you a toy?" Ling Lan said irresponsibly.
"Rawr …" Little White shouted angrily. Wasn't it that little brat's toy? It was already crippled.
"Alright, alright. I'll bring you along next time. I know my Little White is very obedient." Ling Lan comforted Little White.
"Rawr!" Little White shyly cupped its chubby face with its two tentacles. Master praised me for being obedient. I'm so happy and excited. Waah … If Little White could shake its butt, it would definitely shake its butt a few times to express its happiness.
Just like that, the adorable Little White was coaxed by Ling Lan's insincere words. It no longer minded that it had become a little brat's toy.
"Elder Sister, you're back. Elder Brother Jiang Hui, Mummy cooked a lot of delicious food. We're waiting for you to come back so that we can eat together." Liu Aijun swallowed a mouthful of saliva. No wonder he kept waiting at the door. He was already craving for food and was waiting for Ling Lan to come home so that he could eat.
"Then let's go eat. After shopping for the whole afternoon, I'm also hungry." Ling Lan of course would not let the little boy down. She smiled and replied.
Walking into the Liu family's small dining room, they saw that the small table for four was already filled with a sumptuous dinner. Originally, Mrs. Liu wanted to send Ling Lan's food to Ling Lan's room. However, Ling Lan refused. She said that she had been away from home for too long and wanted to eat together to feel the warmth of home. Mrs. Liu accepted it.
The Liu family's upbringing was very good. Before the guests came to the table, Liu Aihua and Liu Aijun had been standing at the side. After Ling Lan sat down and called them, they sat down excitedly.
Liu Aijun was still young and did not know how to hide his desire. He looked at Ling Lan longingly. He was waiting for Ling Lan to say that it was time to eat so that he could pick up his chopsticks and eat.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she could not help but scold in a low voice, "Aijun, don't be rude."
Liu Aijun's eyes darkened and he lowered his head in grievance. If Liu Aijun did not really treat Ling Lan as his family, he would not be so obvious. It could only be said that Ling Lan's aura was too warm and friendly. Liu Aihua and Liu Aijun had let down their guard.
"Aunt Liu, if you treat Jiang Hui as a guest again, Jiang Hui will not be able to stay here anymore." Ling Lan pretended to be unhappy. She picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of meat in Liu Aijun's bowl. She said, "Aijun, come, let's eat together. Don't worry about your mother." After he finished speaking, he winked at Liu Aijun. It was as if they were in cahoots, which made Liu Aijun beam with joy.
"And you, Aihua." Of course, Ling Lan did not forget the little girl, Liu Aihua. In order to reduce the burden of the family, this little girl went out to work at such a young age. Ling Lan felt sorry for her.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang Hui." Even so, Liu Aihua and Liu Aijun did not forget to thank Ling Lan. It could be seen that this family's culture was deeply ingrained in their bones. This was not something that a poor family could have. Ling Lan lowered her head and ate. She hid all the questions in her mind.
When Mama Liu saw that the three of them had become accomplices, she smiled helplessly. However, the trace of melancholy that she originally had disappeared quietly.
In the next few days, Ling Lan took the hover bus and traveled even further. However, she would always rush back to the town to fetch Liu Aihua home before sunset. As time passed, Grandpa Wang became less wary of Ling Lan. He started to be willing to talk to her about the interesting things on Planet Muyang. This attracted Wang Qi and Liu Aihua's interest. Every time this happened, they would bring chairs over and sit at the side to listen.
PS: I was too tired last night. I slept all the way until dawn when I was trying to coax Xiao Bao. Sob!
