After hearing what Ren Xiaosu said, Jiang Xu's interest was piqued. "I wonder where we can find these nanomachines again. You should know that the Li Consortium and the Yang Clan have both been wiped out."
"The Kyung Clan." Ren Xiaosu said matter-of-factly, "Luo Lan said that the Kyung Clan has already developed the nanomachines and is already using them."
"I know that," Jiang Xu said. The Kyung Clan did not treat this as a secret either. Hope Media had even reported about it before.
Luo Lan said that everyone knew that the Li Consortium and the Yang Clan had nanomachines. Now that the Kyung Clan had replaced those two clans, they could no longer keep the nanomachines in their possession a secret.
In any case, it was just used to strengthen the physical fitness of ordinary soldiers. Moreover, Qing Zhen was still not allowing the use of nanomachines on a large scale. On one hand, there was not enough production, and on the other hand, he was worried that the soldiers would become dependent on the nanomachines.
A lot of training would become much easier to complete.
Qing Zhen believed that the most important thing in an army was not their strength but their willpower, a willpower that could not be defeated.
Therefore, the nanomachines that the Li Consortium and the Yang Clan treated like treasures were just like ordinary tools in Qing Zhen's hands.
Perhaps one day, when war really descended on the Kyung Clan again, Ren Xiaosu would be able to see nanosoldiers on a large scale again.
But next time, he probably wouldn't be hunting these nanosoldiers anymore.
Jiang Xu continued to ask, "So only the Kyung Clan has the nanomachines technology now?"
Ren Xiaosu wondered, "It's good as long as it's usable. Do you need me to help you get some nanomachines from the Kyung Clan?"
"There's no need." Jiang Xu shook his head with a smile.
"Why?" Ren Xiaosu was even more puzzled. "Don't you want to be able to move around freely?"
"No." Jiang Xu explained with a smile, "Who would want to walk with a limp? Many people admire me because of my leg, but I'd rather the world not admire me. I'd rather it be like a normal person."
"What do you think of the Kyung Clan?" Ren Xiaosu asked again.
"No." Jiang Xu shook his head. "On the contrary, I think that among the consortiums, the Kyung Clan is the one I admire the most. Of course, all consortiums in the world look the same. There's no difference in essence."
"Then why aren't you willing to ask the Kyung Clan for the nanomachines?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Because I want to record the truth, so I can't accept gifts from the consortiums. Besides, the Yang Clan and the Li Consortium have also proven that the nanomachines can control human thoughts. For example, when Stronghold 88 was destroyed, the nanosoldiers were already under their control." Jiang Xu said, "Even if the Kyung Clan doesn't control me or set up any background programs, how can I make the world believe that the truth I record is the truth?"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. In order to record the truth, Ren Xiaosu insisted on continuing even after his leg was broken.
In order to make the truth reliable enough, he would rather not have the chance to reattach his broken leg.
This was probably the reason why everyone admired him.
There were very few people who were willing to use their entire lives to uphold a principle. Such people were so rare that they seemed to have a natural glow about them.
Therefore, if only the Kyung Clan could produce nanomachines in this world, then even if Ren Xiaosu took the nanomachines from him and gave them to Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu would not agree to it.
This was because Jiang Xu wanted to avoid arousing suspicion. How would others know where he got the nanomachines from?
Jiang Xu patted Ren Xiaosu on the shoulder. "You're also a part of the truth. At least when you become the commander of Fortress 178 in the future, I can record what the seventh commander of Fortress 178 is like. You might not realize it yet, but you'll also become a part of this history and won't be lost in the long river of time anymore."
"Is the truth that important?" Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice, "But what if everyone doesn't care what the truth is?"
Jiang Xu laughed and continued walking towards the cafeteria. "That's their business."
Although Ren Xiaosu was starting to admire Jiang Xu a little, he did not stand on ceremony during lunch. He ate until Jiang Xu was dumbfounded before patting his stomach and asking if he wanted to have lunch together again tomorrow.
Jiang Xu indicated that he would not be coming to school until his next class.
The chef in the staff cafeteria was dumbfounded. He thought that Teacher Jiang Xu was really kind. He even specially brought a poor student to school for lunch.
…
At night, Ren Xiaosu quietly left the library and passed through the cordoned sentry post to get out of school. Then he walked across a dozen streets and headed towards a secluded residence.
This was the place Qin Sheng had agreed to meet him for a Knight's dinner.
Before entering the stronghold, Qin Sheng had said he would be meeting Xu Ke, the current head of the Qinghe Group, for a meal as a way to make friends.
Ren Xiaosu had intended to stand Qin Sheng up, but he did not expect Qin Sheng to call him seven times in one day.
He had no choice. Since Ren Xiaosu was treating him to a meal, he couldn't possibly not give him face. It wasn't like he was some big shot.
The residence was not luxurious, and there were not many people inside.
Ren Xiaosu knocked on the door a few times, and Qin Sheng opened the door to let him in. There were only four people in the residence. Qin Sheng, Old Li, and someone he did not know were cooking in the kitchen. When the last person saw Ren Xiaosu, he was stunned. "It's you?"
Ren Xiaosu was also amused. "Oh, it's you."
Zhang Qingxi was the Knight Ren Xiaosu had met at Stronghold 73's East Lake. At that time, Ren Xiaosu was jogging by the East Lake, and Zhang Qingxi had even tried to persuade him to leave.
Ren Xiaosu still clearly remembered that Zhang Qingxi had tried to persuade the middle-aged women who were dancing in the plaza to leave, but he was even blackmailed by them.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Qingxi realized Ren Xiaosu was also at Stronghold 73 at that time.
But Zhang Qingxi was a little puzzled. "You were also at Stronghold 73 at that time. Was that person in the white mask you?"
With just a little clue, Zhang Qingxi immediately linked it to Ren Xiaosu. During the battle at East Lake, Old Xu, who was wearing the white mask, had slaughtered everyone. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu seemed to have disappeared and no one paid any attention to him.
These were all suspicious points.
Meanwhile, Old Li and Qin Sheng looked at each other. As a matter of fact, when they were defending Stronghold 74, White Mask had also appeared, and Ren Xiaosu happened to be there as well.
There were some things that couldn't be thought through …
Ren Xiaosu said, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me."
"Don't worry, we Knight have our own principles. We won't reveal your identity. Moreover, since you've come to help us this time, we won't betray our friends," Zhang Qingxi said.
Ren Xiaosu said innocently, "It really wasn't me."
"Then where did you go that day?" Zhang Qingxi stared at Ren Xiaosu.
"Oh." Ren Xiaosu lied through his teeth. "You were the one who advised me to leave. I went back and thought about it carefully. I felt you were right, so I left."
Zhang Qingxi was speechless. 'Who are you trying to bluff?!'
At this moment, Xu Ke walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron. He said with a smile, "Let's not argue about this for now. Wash your hands and get ready to eat. Hello, I'm Xu Ke."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. The leader of the Qinghe Group was cooking for him personally?
