Looking at his daughter who was maturing day by day and the stubbornness deep inside her eyes that was more and more like her mother and his wife, what could Gu Zhengyang say except for chuckling and nodding his head?
"Dad, look —"
Standing on her tiptoes, Coloured Glaze pointed at the boxes of precise components in the unloading area of the crystal warships not far away. "Those are the components of the 'climate balance system', the special drugs to purge the soil polluted by the radiation, and the new fertilizers provided by the biochemical specialists of the Federation. With those things, not only will the climate in the Land of Sins be stabilized again, but the land that has been polluted by the radiation will also gradually become clean and fertile. There will be plenty of crops, but at the very least, the Gold Barley should be able to grow and survive on a large scale.
"Mom tried her whole life to grow a large area of Gold Barley and restore peace and tranquility to the Land of Sins, didn't she?
"It's a pity that mom's dream did not come true in the end. Even if she did grow a large area of Gold Barley, the tiny Gold Barley could not bring real peace in the cannibalistic Land of Sins.
"But right now, with the help of Grandpa Yao, His Majesty, and Mr. A Boxing Champion, it is really possible for us to grow Gold Barley all over the Land of Sins and the entire planet!
"Before long, the tough bandits before our eyes will all become self-supporting laborers. The hands that waved blades and brutalized each other in the past will be able to manipulate the agricultural and engineering magical equipment to change the world, clear the pollution, and grow crops. Even if they can only harvest one Gold Barley, it will still be better than harvesting other people's lives and their own, right, Dad?"
"Yes … Yes …"
Gu Zhengyang gazed at the busy unloading and assembly before his eyes. The abundant spiritual puppets were reflecting the sunlight like jumping sparks, igniting a brand-new brilliance.
He rubbed his eyes, still feeling that the scene before his eyes was too unreal. It was as if he, or all the people in the Land of Sins, had a nightmare that was hundreds of years long.
Right now, the dream was over.
Hope was right ahead.
…
While Gu Zhengyang and Coloured Glaze were looking at hope on the city wall, on a hill not far away from the Village of Peace, Han Te pulled A Boxing Champion aside mysteriously.
After swallowing Fuxi's data pieces, A Boxing Champion's level had improved to a higher level. It was not a problem for him to manipulate a hundred spiritual puppets at the same time. He could suppress the bandits with Great Iron City 2.0 while he summoned a common spiritual puppet more than two meters tall to listen to Han Te.
"Seriously, Master A Boxing Champion, how can you be like this? Didn't we agree at the beginning that I would jump down first and show off in front of the parents in my hometown?"
Han Te looked at A Boxing Champion sadly. "Li Jialing had stolen all the limelight in the battle to protect the capital. I was crushed by him to the point that there was nothing left of me. Now that I've finally returned to my hometown, I was hoping to make a grand comeback. Can't you satisfy such a tiny request of mine? How embarrassing! "
"I could've let you show off for a while."
A Boxing Champion said casually, "But the bandits were attacking the city at that time, and the situation was dire. One more second of delay might've meant the death of one more person. Life is precious, so I had to take action in advance. Sorry about that."
"Well …"
Han Te scratched his head. Other than his flirtatiousness, shamelessness, and excessive self-satisfaction, he was still the kind-hearted young man from the Land of Sins after all. Now that A Boxing Champion had used the reason that life was precious and even apologized to him solemnly, he was too embarrassed to say anything more. Rolling his eyes, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it. It's just unimportant. Let's not talk about it. I just didn't expect that Master A Boxing Champion would return to the Land of Sins with us. As a powerful and dominating big shot like you, you can play a critical role in the tripartite talks among the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League, as well as in the battles to pacify the Imperium and clean up the Holy League. But you left everything behind and came back with us. How loyal you are!"
"The Land of Sins is your hometown, and it is also my hometown."
A Boxing Champion said, "My first understanding of this world was from the Land of Sins. Now that the Land of Sins is in trouble, of course I have to come back to save it."
"Yes, yes. That's why I said that Master A Boxing Champion is the most loyal of all!"
Han Te rubbed his hands and said with a cunning smile, "Well, Master A Boxing Champion, there shouldn't be any problem with the thing that we talked about last time, right?"
A Boxing Champion was silent for a moment.
His crystal processor was beeping nonstop.
"What thing?"
He asked, seemingly peacefully.
"Hey, Master A Boxing Champion, you haven't forgotten it, have you? That's — that's it. We made a deal a long time ago! "
Han Te scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "Look, the tripartite balance of power has just taken shape, and peace is gradually returning to the universe. Even if there is going to be a war, it will be a long time in the future. Also, I've been listening to your teachings obediently over the past half year. I haven't even touched my own hands, much less flirting with those lascivious men.
"I've thought about it. I'm sincere about Coloured Glaze. I really like her. I don't just regard her as my childhood sweetheart. However, my competitor is so strong. Damn it. My rival in love is actually the emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings! Is — is there any justice in this? Is there any justice in this world? Is the heavens playing a joke on me?
"Thankfully, thankfully, I have the advantage of being in a favorable position. Now that Liu Li and I have returned to our hometown in glory and that young man is far away, I will make the first move and confess my love to Liu Li in a super romantic and grand manner, winning her heart in one fell swoop! Hehehehe. Even if that kid is furious, he can't do anything to me, can he?
"So, you must help me, Master A Boxing Champion!
"Coloured Glaze has been with you every day. She calls you 'Master A Boxing Champion' and 'Master A Boxing Champion'. She listens to you most of all. It won't be a problem for you to arrange such a grand and romantic confession for me.
"I've talked to you about it many times when I was in the Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs. You always agreed and asked me not to confess to Coloured Glaze in private. You said that you would keep an eye on Coloured Glaze's whereabouts for me and find the best opportunity. Of course, it was indeed not the best time because of the chaos back then. But everything is fine now. Why don't I confess to Coloured Glaze today? Do you think it's appropriate, Master A Boxing Champion?"
A Boxing Champion was silent for a long time again.
The crystal processor was humming, as if a swarm of bees had been raised inside its iron skull.
"It's not appropriate."
He said casually.
"Why?"
Han Te was greatly disappointed. "I've thought about it for a long time. This is the best opportunity. Without the golden-haired kid harassing me, you and my master will help me. Then, everything in my hometown will evoke the beautiful memories of Coloured Glaze and me. If that doesn't work, I — I have absolutely no chance!"
"Don't you think it's a bit shameless?"
A Boxing Champion said, "You're only doing it in secret because you're scared of competing with Li Jialing. That's definitely not what a man should do. Even if Coloured Glaze agrees right now, she will certainly be disappointed by your cowardice when she discovers what you're doing one day."
"Well —"
As if struck by lightning, Han Te's face was pale. "I — I'm scared of Li Jialing? I'm a coward? Coloured Glaze will be disappointed in me? "
A Boxing Champion's words were exactly what he was worried about.
Faced with the brilliance of the emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings, how could he, a young man from the Land of Sins who had nothing, not be scared, frustrated, and cowardly?
"Besides, you won't succeed."
A Boxing Champion said coldly, "As the saying goes, a confession is not a bugle call to initiate a battle but a song of triumph after a victory. Coloured Glaze is a naïve, pure, and kind-hearted girl. She treats you as her brother wholeheartedly and does not have any other thoughts. Do you have a 5% chance of success when you confess to her so simply and violently? You're asking to be killed by your idiocy! "
"I … I …"
Stunned for a long time, Han Te sniffed and squatted with his head in his hands. He sighed and said, "I know that I was too reckless, but my rival in love is too tough. I can't miss this opportunity. After we return to the stars, what if the wretched golden-haired brat asks Liu Li to be the queen of the Imperium? Do — do I have any chance? "
"If that's what you think, you really don't have any chance."
A Boxing Champion said casually, "If you really love Coloured Glaze, even if your rival in love is His Majesty, you will have to train yourself to be stronger than him and blow up the brilliant stars around him one after another. Only with such determination will you be qualified to be Coloured Glaze's guardian, right?"
"That's — that's true. I've been training hard, too, but I'm a fire control officer. However strong a fire control officer can be, even if I can become a fleet commander, I'm still far from His Majesty, right?"
Han Te felt like crying. "Master A Boxing Champion, what should I do to surpass the golden-haired kid? I, I don't see any hope at all. Why don't I just throw caution to the wind and confess to Liu Li now? Call me a coward or a shameless person, but I don't care. I'll just give it a shot. What if? "
"Don't. Don't be hasty. Don't be reckless. Didn't I promise that I would help you?"
A Boxing Champion's crystal cameras were flashing quickly. "Even if your rival in love is His Majesty of the Imperium of True Human Beings, it's not like you don't have a way to surpass him. Everything depends on your courage, determination, and most importantly, patience.
"Tell me, Han Te, do you … want to learn magic?"
"What?"
Han Te was dumbfounded.
"Learn magic and become the first grand sorcerer since the Pangu universe was created."
