Cold Shelter Villa.
Lu Ming and Little You Sheng mingled in the crowd in a low-key manner.
There were many people here. Most of them were the family members of grandmasters. They did not know each other. As long as he kept a low profile, no one would notice him …
"Lu Ming?"
A voice came.
Eh?
Lu Ming's body stiffened. He turned his head and saw an unknown girl.
"You are …"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"I'm your fan!"
The girl was very excited. "Can … can you sign this for me?"
With that …
She took out a photo of Lu Ming and said embarrassedly, "I … I followed my grandfather here. I didn't expect to see you."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Fine.
A fan of his looks …
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. He had forgotten about this. With his looks and status, he would be the center of attention no matter where he went …
He was worried.
Lu Ming was a little worried. He should not have been discovered, right?
…
Right then.
Somewhere in Cold Shelter Villa.
Zhao Jianye sipped his tea, feeling very comfortable. "How many people came?"
"Only a part of them."
The old man next to him sighed. "Although we have sent invitations to all the elites in the industry, unfortunately, only a small portion of them are willing to come in person.
"Furthermore …
"Most of them are the older generation of grandmasters who want to bring their children to see the world."
The old man felt very helpless.
Although the Zhao Corporation's current status was not something that ordinary people dared to belittle, to those grandmasters, they did not think highly of them.
In this era.
In this world.
Business was the lowest industry.
Even if —
At Zhao Jianye's current status …
"Humph!"
Zhao Jianye just sneered. "When my grandfather was doing business, he was also like this. Even though he was as rich as a country, he was still looked down upon by scholars … Ha, in this era, I have the same achievements, but I still can't get the recognition of cultivators.
"You are already very good."
The old man smiled. "At least, some of the grandmasters have recognized you and are willing to interact with you."
"This is far from enough."
Zhao Jianye squinted his eyes. "But …
"It doesn't matter.
"Soon …
"I will let them remember me."
Zhao Jianye said coldly.
"Cloud Mountain …"
The old man was a little worried.
"Let him calm down."
Zhao Jianye waved his hand. "Let him out when the situation is settled."
"Yes!"
The old man nodded slightly.
However …
At this moment.
Zhao Jianye looked at a certain place in the villa, and his body suddenly froze. This was because he saw a youth that was as dazzling as a lighthouse in the dark night.
Lu Ming … had actually come.
"Should I ask him out?"
The old man said softly.
"No need."
Zhao Jianye's expression was indifferent. "It's fate that you're here. Don't waste your energy. Follow the plan. This time, I won't allow any mistakes. "
"Understood."
The old man smiled.
"Don't worry …"
"Everything is going smoothly."
…
At this very moment …
Lu Ming, who had just signed an autograph with a fan, was very worried. "I haven't been discovered, have I?"
"What do you think?"
Xiao-Xiaojian scanned its surroundings.
At the same time, at least forty to fifty Divine Wills scanned Lu Ming.
Hmm …
Most of them were girls.
"You're really not suited for investigative work."
Xiao-Xiaojian's tone was gloomy.
"I know."
Lu Ming sighed.
He was so handsome. What else could he do?!
One could ask the young Daniel Wu to walk around the university and see if the students would peek at him. Then, one would know the situation that Lu Ming was in now …
"Check if there are any malicious intents?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Let me take a look."
Xiao-Xiaojian scrutinized the thoughts that swept toward Lu Ming.
Well …
Some of the admiration, amazement, appreciation, and amazement from females … as well as some of the disgust and rejection from males … and some of the hunger, greed, and desire?
"Lu Ming."
"Yes?"
"Excuse me … Are you repulsed by the Ball of Pleasure?"
“？？？”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Very quickly, he understood something and his face instantly darkened.
Damn it!
You're slow at learning the formal cultural terms taught in the textbook. But you're very fast at learning the internet terms that occasionally appear in my mind?!
You can even apply what you learn?
"Of course."
Xiao-Xiaojian was very proud of itself.
Extracting useful things from messy memories was its specialty.
Right then.
A female grandmaster suddenly walked over.
"Hello."
The female grandmaster spoke.
"Not interested!
"Weak physique!
"Prone to sudden death!"
Lu Ming introduced himself decisively.
“？？？”
The female grandmaster looked puzzled. She looked at Lu Ming and then glanced at Little You Sheng. "Is this young lady your child?"
"Yes."
Lu Ming scratched his head.
Oh.
It turned out that she was not a rich lady …
"Biological?"
The grandmaster frowned.
"Yes."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.
What did it have to do with him whether she was biological or not?
"But there is no need for her to carry so many things!"
The female grandmaster pointed at Little You Sheng's back with dissatisfaction. The school bag that was taller than a child. She knew that children were under a lot of pressure now …
However …
The school bag of a primary school student …
Wasn't it a little too much?!
She was shocked when she passed by earlier.
If she had not seen Little You Sheng, she would have thought that the school bag had become a spirit and was walking on its own …
Lu Ming: → _ →
Oh.
It turned out that this was the reason.
This was what Xiao Bai had prepared before they came.
Lu Ming had repeated that this was just an ordinary annual meeting and that he and Little You Sheng were just there to meet the Zhao family and understand the situation …
But?
Xiao Bai was still worried. She insisted on preparing the school bag.
Lu Ming felt very helpless.
Wasn't this a strategic weapon?
Why did he have to carry it when he was visiting?
However …
Since Xiao Bai had said so, Lu Ming could only carry it.
When he came, he was the one who carried it. He was afraid that people would question him when he entered the house. Therefore, he asked Little You Sheng to carry it. He did not expect to be lectured.
"I will carry it."
Lu Ming took the school bag.
"…"
Little You Sheng blinked her eyes. She was very obedient.
The female grandmaster's gaze softened a little. She lectured Lu Ming for a while before leaving.
Lu Ming was speechless.
This was the glory of motherly love …
…
After a long time …
Night fell.
The annual meeting banquet was about to begin.
For Lu Ming, this was really a daily event.
He only needed to wait for the Zhao family to finish their speech and then go over to ask a few of them about the situation. It would be best if he could meet Zhao Yunshan.
That was all.
The security guards of the Zhao family entered and led them to a venue.
"The chairman is discussing business with the grandmasters."
The Zhao family said, "You can wait here."
In the venue, there was food and drink. The grandmasters' family members were very happy. After all, they were here to be bystanders.
"President."
The teenager in white was also there.
"How do you feel?"
Lu Ming smiled.
"It's different from what I imagined."
The teenager in white scratched his head.
"Oh?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
The Zhao family's annual meeting was considered to be of the highest standard. The teenager in white was not satisfied?
"Before I came."
The teenager in white was very regretful. "They told me that in such crowded places, there will be a banquet. It's a pity that I didn't find it."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Wait a minute.
What the hell are you young people doing?!
You guys came here for the XX banquet?!
To hell with it!
Do you think that everywhere is like the sea and the sky?
"Get lost!"
Lu Ming lifted his leg and kicked.
"President."
A shadow flashed.
The teenager in black appeared behind the teenager in white.
"You're here too?"
Lu Ming was surprised. "What identity did you come in with?"
"My girlfriend!"
The teenager in white said proudly.
"They believed you?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
"Of course not."
The teenager in white was proud of himself. "But I kissed her in front of them and they believed me."
"…"
The teenager in black was expressionless. He seemed to have something difficult to say.
Lu Ming was speechless.
You guys can do it.
"It's good that you guys are here."
Lu Ming rubbed his head. "Help me see if the Zhao family came out."
"Okay."
The two of them understood.
After a long time …
They were back.
He did not find the Zhao family, but he found piles of various electronic equipment and some electric scooters in the mountains behind the villa.
？？？
Lu Ming was puzzled.
Electronic equipment?
Electric scooters?
The Zhao family's business covered all industries. It was not strange for them to have all kinds of products. However, electric scooters … Why did they exist in this era?
Wasn't this era driven by energy?!
"I don't know."
Xiao-Xiaojian looked confused. It had never heard of electric scooters.
"There are."
Little You Sheng blinked and suddenly said, "In yesterday's history lesson, Auntie Xiao Bai mentioned that in the early days when energy was not used, there was a process of converting oil to electricity.
"Well …
"At that time, the Transportation Association provided a lot of subsidies in hopes of developing new energy sources. Hence, a large number of subsidized enterprises were born. It was not until the appearance of energy modules that the era of energy started and chaos ended."
Little You Sheng imitated Xiao Bai's tone seriously.
"Good."
Lu Ming touched her little head.
Heh.
Little You Sheng was smart. She also looked down on Xiao-Xiaojian.
Rubbish.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
The history books that it had read clearly did not mention this!
"So …
"The Zhao family actually took this step as well?"
Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.
Subsidies scammed …
He thought that this was a ranking used in his previous life.
Especially —
Trams.
What was subsidies scammed?
The cost of building a tram was twenty thousand yuan. The selling price was one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. The state subsidized fifty thousand yuan. Did you see that? They did not do anything and they could make a net profit of thirty thousand yuan!
Therefore …
There were countless automobile companies in the market.
The only thing they did was to use a pile of rubbish, paste the brand, approve it and then destroy it.
That was right.
There was no need to sell these cars.
They created a new energy company with their left hand and an acquisition company with their right hand. They bought the cars in bulk and sent them to the landfill …
Simple.
Brutal.
It did not matter if the car was good or not. It did not even matter if it could be driven! Of course, there were some companies that were more impressive. They could scam subsidies while selling some cars at a low price.
After all …
Cars priced at one hundred and fifty thousand yuan could be sold at fifteen thousand yuan. You would make a killing!
This also led to the emergence of a large number of 'mobile coffins' in the market. It was just a shell and could be moved. That was all. It was not as technical as the Audi four-wheel drive racing car …
This —
This was the scandal of subsidies scammed in his previous life.
What Lu Ming did not expect was that in this life, there was actually such a thing!!!
Furthermore —
It was still the Zhao family.
"Are there a lot of cars?"
Lu Ming said in a low voice.
"Yes."
The teenager in black nodded fiercely. "There are still hundreds of thousands of cars."
Ss — —
Lu Ming's heart trembled.
Hundreds of thousands of cars …
The Zhao family was really ruthless back then!
However …
Lu Ming immediately shook his head. These were all old stories. Later on, the Zhao family carried out various charity activities and gave away billions of yuan. They had already returned the favor.
Objectively speaking …
The Zhao family's corporation was a qualified enterprise. The employees were well treated. When they were sick, they would take care of them. When they resigned, they could get 2N. Every year, there were many charity activities …
As for the past …
The Transportation Association did not pursue the matter. Naturally, they had no right to do anything.
However …
The teenager in black insisted on pulling Lu Ming over. "Master, you'd better go and take a look. Those cars are a little strange."
"What's strange?"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"It looks like …
"The material.
"And …"
The teenager in black pondered doubtfully. "The headlights."
"Headlights?!"
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
It was just a tram. It was not Senior Qiu. What was so strange about the headlights?!
"You'd better go and take a look."
The teenager in black had a serious expression.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Lu Ming sighed.
This was the first time that the teenager in black took the initiative to make a request of him. He thought about it. As a qualified president, he had to comfort his disciples.
Hence …
He got up and left the venue quietly with Little You Sheng.
…
In the dark.
The figure of the teenager in black was erratic.
Lu Ming followed him and the teenager in white. Very soon, they arrived at the mountain behind the so-called Cold Shelter Villa.
Over there.
True enough, he saw a large number of electronic products.
Yes.
It was not just the electric scooters.
Before seeing the electric scooters, there were also a large number of electronic products, including but not limited to various electronic watches, electronic cameras, electronic detectors, electronic panels, electronic mainframes, electric lights, air purifiers, electronic sticks, coffee machines …
Wait a minute.
There were mountains of them.
Lu Ming took a look and was somewhat surprised.
It turned out that the Zhao family also had a smart home in the early days.
Of course.
With the appearance of the "Energy Module", the new energy swept away everything and these things were destroyed forcefully! As for whether it was a scam, he was not sure.
However …
Why did the Zhao family still keep these until now?
Lu Ming was curious.
If it was a normal enterprise with such a stain, shouldn't it have been destroyed a long time ago?
Just as he was feeling puzzled …
They had already reached their destination.
Lu Ming saw those abandoned electric scooters. However, he was dumbstruck after taking just one look. He could not come to his senses for a long time.
These cars …
They were completely different from the tram scam that Lu Ming had imagined!
These cars were very big.
Each of them was equivalent to a heavy-duty truck!
And the design …
The edges and corners were distinct …
The design was different.
This style …
Tesla pickup truck?
Could it be that the designer of the Zhao family hired Old Ma?! When they were designing the car, did they throw away the compass and only keep the triangular ruler …
There was not a single smooth corner!
However …
On second thought, it did not matter that these cars were scammed.
Just as Lu Ming was preparing to leave, the teenager in black tugged at the corner of his clothes. Lu Ming looked up doubtfully and his expression changed drastically.
Buzz —
The lights of the electric scooters suddenly flashed.
There was a patch of red.
The strange and mysterious headlights were fully switched on. It was terrifying.
One had to know!
He was now a beginner Six Stars and so was the teenager in black. Even they were terrified of these lights. Once they were mass-produced …
These were not cars!
These were weapons!!!
Lu Ming's expression turned grave.
Wait a minute.
If these cars were really weapons …
"Hurry!"
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly. "Let's leave this place!"
"Yes."
The few of them planned to leave.
However …
At this moment …
Bang!!!
A blood-colored beam of light suddenly rose from the Cold Shelter Villa. Terrifying blood-colored lights swept the surroundings, covering the Cold Shelter Villa and the surrounding tens of kilometers!
"How dare you!
"How dare you!"
Many furious voices could be heard.
The powerful auras of the grandmasters erupted in an instant. However, in the blink of an eye, their auras were drowned and there was no more movement.
Buzz —
Buzz —
There was only a terrifying blood-colored flash.
Heaven and earth.
It was a patch of blood-red.
…
"Something has happened!"
Lu Ming and the group were shocked.
From their point of view, the entire Cold Shelter Villa had turned red and there was no aura coming from it. It was very terrifying. One should know that …
There were dozens of grandmasters this time!!!
And now …
Buzz —
Blood-Red lights flashed.
It was like a warning during a crisis.
However …
However, the entire villa was silent, and it was frightening.
"President …"
The teenager in white's voice was trembling.
His father was still in the villa!
As a Card Creator Grandmaster, his father was initially not interested in this invitation. He was the one who begged his father to bring him along. Unexpectedly …
"There's no hurry."
Lu Ming was also shocked. "Let's figure out what happened first."
"Yes."
The teenager in white was in grief.
Right then.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
A faint aura emerged from the red lights.
"Someone is coming."
The teenager in black was alarmed.
"Hide first."
Lu Ming said in a low voice.
Hence …
The few of them quickly hid somewhere in the mountain range. The teenager in black activated his ability and covered everyone's aura silently. No one noticed them.
Very soon …
A few security guards dressed in the Zhao family's uniform appeared.
They were calmly pressing something on the electronic products nearby. After a long while, when they were done with their work, they quickly left the scene.
Lu Ming and the group were filled with doubts.
What were they doing?
The Zhao family …
At this very moment …
Buzz —
Red lights flashed.
The car lights flashed again.
Just as Lu Ming and the group were palpitating, the cars that only knew how to flash their lights actually moved at this moment. All the cars actually started to move at this moment!
Afterward …
They stood up.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Click!
Click!
Red lights flashed.
Lu Ming and the group watched as the cars stood upright. The various components of the cars began to distort and change. When they were done reassembling, they actually changed completely!
The cars had completely turned into the appearance of humans!
The blood-red headlights had actually turned into eyes!
Bang!
The cars had turned into humans.
Their bodies that were nearly ten meters tall sent chills down one's spine.
This was …
Lu Ming's entire body trembled.
Change …
Transformers?!
…
That was right!
Transformers!
Lu Ming would never have expected that after these cars changed, they would actually turn into Transformers! They had turned into real armed forces!
"Is this the one that you were talking about?"
Xiao-Xiaojian was also stunned.
Lu Ming always said that he was a straight man who could transform. It thought that he was a woman with metal attributes. Unexpectedly …
It was actually this guy?!
He looked at the huge machine that was about ten meters in disbelief. "Lu Ming, is this what you do in your hometown?"
Lu Ming was speechless.
Could he not create trouble!
Who?? He wanted to do this! He was not Orisha!
However …
At this moment.
The red lights were still changing and the ground was shaking.
On the ground.
Those strange electronic products, those electronic products that Lu Ming thought were rubbish, actually began to reorganize at this moment and also began the journey of transformation!
"All of them are alive!"
Lu Ming's heart trembled violently.
It turned out that it was not just Transformers!
All the machines that were manufactured by the Zhao family actually came to life!
Bang!
Bang!
The machines moved.
From the temperature and humidity detectors to the big ones that had transformed into trams, all the electronic products stood up and walked towards the Cold Mountain Villa. There were many of them.
Lu Ming and the group lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.
After a long time …
When all the electronic products disappeared from their field of vision, they glanced at each other in fear.
This situation …
It was too … It was strange and mysterious!
In the cultivation era, who had ever seen such a scene?!
…
"What should we do?"
The teenager in white was anxious.
"Let's follow them and take a look."
Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
The area within a radius of tens of miles was covered in blood. There was no way for them to escape! It was still alright in this mountain range. Once they left the villa … they reckoned that they would be tortured to death.
Therefore …
They had to figure out what was happening here!
Hence …
They followed behind the electronic products gingerly.
They watched as they stepped into the Cold Mountain Villa step by step. They watched as the outer walls of the villa were easily trampled and all the products gathered in the villa.
Afterward …
They knelt down!
Over there …
Surrounded by a group of security guards, they saw Zhao Jianye's figure. In front of Zhao Jianye, there was a seven-star grandmaster who had been captured.
…
At this moment …
Zhao Jianye got up.
He took one step at a time. There were layers of ripples under his feet.
Dee —
A robot bent down. Its mechanical arm kept changing, turning into an electronic ladder for Zhao Jianye, helping him to walk to the top step by step.
He was like a king.
"Strength …
"It's wonderful, isn't it?"
Zhao Jianye smiled faintly.
"You're courting death!"
The grandmaster was furious. "Zhao Jianye!!! Do you think that these toys can defeat a grandmaster? It's ridiculous! So what if you can deal with a seven-star?!
"The cultivation lineage can constantly become stronger!
"And these metal scraps of yours …
"It's just a joke!
"Wait and see.
"When those old seniors find out …"
"You will definitely die!"
The grandmaster sneered.
"I know."
Zhao Jianye was very calm. "Therefore, I need all of you. Only with your help will they become stronger and be able to challenge eight-stars!"
？？？
The grandmaster was bewildered. Stronger …
"Heh."
Zhao Jianye chuckled. "Do you know? I've known since a long time ago that robots can't defeat cultivators. Of course, everyone knows this fact.
"So …
"Who told you that they are robots?"
？？？
The grandmaster looked at those machines and those huge things.
These …
What were they if not robots?
"Silly child."
Zhao Jianye patted his face. "All these years, I've set up hundreds of real estate companies and invested in various legacy sites. I've obtained a quota to develop them …
"Of course.
"In the name of charity, we're helping you develop them for free …
"We've rebuilt various legacy sites.
"We've left a back door.
"It's there.
"I've gotten everything that I wanted."
？？？
The grandmaster was still puzzled.
Legacy sites?
Development?
Back door?
Wait a minute.
He suddenly thought of something. All these years, as the environment became better and more geniuses appeared, the number of grandmasters did not increase …
He used to think that it was difficult to break through. Now it seemed …
"In that case …
"There will be a prize-winning quiz."
Zhao Jianye smiled faintly. "Where did the geniuses go?
"Could it be …"
The grandmaster's expression changed drastically.
"Congratulations …"
"Bingo."
Zhao Jianye smiled faintly.
"All these years, I've tried all kinds of methods to drive them.
"Some people say that water and electricity are warm and gentle. I've tried it. Some people say that thermal electricity is passionate and unrestrained. I've tried it. Some people say that nuclear electricity is stimulating. I've tried it too.
"It's a pity.
"Too weak!
"I've even tried borrowing lightning from the sky. The power of lightning can only increase the combat power of the robots to Six Stars!
"Too weak!
"Therefore, I've invested trillions in research and development. I've finally discovered electricity that can unleash their strongest combat power — artificial electricity.
"That is to say …
"You guys!"
Shush!
As Zhao Jianye raised his hand …
All the towering huge robots came to a halt in unison.
In front of their chests.
The cold metal plate fell slowly, revealing the energy core. There was actually a seven-star grandmaster connected by various circuits!!!
Shush!
Shush!
One by one, the robots revealed their cores.
Inside …
All of them were grandmasters!!!
At this moment, all the grandmasters were in a comatose state. They were connected by circuits and used as energy sources and cores to drive the huge robots.
"No!
"Impossible!"
The grandmaster screamed in horror. He saw many familiar figures.
A young and famous Six Stars genius who went to the legacy site to break through …
A cultivator in his sixties or seventies who had yet to break through and finally decided to push his limits …
Some grandmasters who brought their children out to train …
And so on.
Those grandmasters who thought that they had 'failed to break through' or 'died in the legacy site' were all here!
They actually …
All of them were alive!!!
In fact …
He saw his biological younger brother!
Back then, the idiot who stepped into the ruins to prove himself in PlayerUnknown's Battleground!
"You!
"You're a devil …"
The grandmaster was terrified.
"Haha."
Zhao Jianye laughed loudly. "I like this title. Don't worry. You'll be my best buddy."
Hence …
He waved his hands.
Two robots grabbed him and stuffed him into an empty shell that had yet to become a grandmaster.
"No!
I don't want to! "
The grandmaster's terrified voice gradually disappeared.
After a long while …
The huge robot suddenly opened its eyes.
It was blood red.
A new machine was born!
Combat power …
Grandmaster!!!
"Hahahahaha!"
Zhao Jianye laughed maniacally. "Didn't you guys look down on us? Didn't you guys humiliate us at will?! If not for you guys, she wouldn't have died!!!
If not for you guys …
Yunshan …
How would I not have a mother!
You guys …
"Damn it!"
Zhao Jianye's eyes were bloodshot.
"I used to be powerless against you guys.
"Now …
"I'm … back …"
Bang!
Bang!
A special and huge robot appeared.
Bloody lights flashed.
The robot slowly opened its chest.
Its limbs and torso shone faintly. There were actually four to five grandmaster-level energy condensed. There was a special cabin in its chest.
At this moment …
It squatted in front of Zhao Jianye.
Shush!
Step by step, Zhao Jianye stepped into the cabin and sat on the throne like a king.
Buzz —
The robot was activated.
There was a dazzling bloody light in its eyes.
Shush!
All the surrounding robots half-knelt on the ground, as if welcoming their king.
