Lu Ming and Xiao Yousheng quietly mingled among the crowd.
There are so many people coming here, most of them are family members of the Grand Master, and no one knows each other. As long as he keeps a low profile, there is no chance of anyone discovering him...
"Lu Ming?"
A voice came.
Why?
Lu Ming's body suddenly stiffened. He turned around and saw that it was an unknown girl.
"Who are you……"
Lu Ming was confused.
"I'm your fan!"
The girl was very excited, "Can you sign your name for me?"
Said.
She took out a photo of Lu Ming and said sheepishly, "I, I came here with my grandpa. I didn't expect to see you."
Lu Ming: "..."
have to.
Pretty face...
Lu Ming smiled bitterly, yes, but he had forgotten this. With his appearance and identity, he is the absolute center of attention no matter where he is...
worry.
Lu Ming was a little worried, maybe he wasn't discovered, right?
…
at this time.
Somewhere in the Winter Refuge Villa.
Zhao Jianye took a sip of tea and felt very comfortable: "How many people are here?"
"Only part of it."
The old man next to him sighed, "Although we have sent invitation letters to all industry elites, it is a pity that only a few are willing to come in person."
"and……"
"Most of them are masters from the older generation who want to take their children to see the world."
The old man was also helpless.
Although the Zhao Group's current status is something that most people don't dare to underestimate, but for those masters, they really don't think highly of them.
in this era.
in this world.
Business is the lowest profession.
Even if——
To Zhao Jianye's current status.
"snort!"
Zhao Jianye just smiled coldly, "It was the same when my grandfather Zhao was in business. Even if he was as rich as anyone in the country, he was looked down upon by the scholars... Hehe, in this era, I have the same achievements, but I still can't achieve the same results as the practitioners.
recognition.”
"You are already very powerful."
The old man smiled and said, "At least some masters have recognized you and are willing to associate with you."
"This is not enough."
Zhao Jianye narrowed his eyes, "But..."
"never mind."
"soon……"
"I'll let them remember me."
Zhao Jianye said coldly.
"Over there at Yunshan..."
The old man was a little worried.
"Let him calm down."
Zhao Jianye waved his hand and said, "Let him out after the overall situation has been decided."
"yes!"
The old man nodded slightly.
However.
at this time.
Zhao Jianye looked somewhere in the villa and suddenly paused because he saw the young man who was as dazzling as a lighthouse in the dark night.
Lu Ming...is actually here.
"Do you want to ask him out?"
The old man whispered.
"Need not."
Zhao Jianye looked indifferent, "It's fate that we're here, there's no need to waste energy. Everything will be executed as planned. This time, I won't allow any mistakes."
"clear."
The old man smiled slightly.
"do not worry……"
"Everything went smoothly."
…
And at this moment.
Lu Ming, who had just signed an autograph with a young fan, was very worried, "Am I not discovered?"
"What do you think?"
Xiao Xiaojian glanced around for a week.
At the same time, at least forty or fifty spiritual thoughts swept over Lu Ming's body.
Um……
Most of them are girls.
"You are really not suitable for investigation work."
Xiao Xiaojian's tone was faint.
"I know."
Lu Ming sighed.
What can he do if he is so handsome?!
If you asked the young Daniel Wu to go to the university and see if he would be peeked at by the students, you would know Lu Ming's current situation...
"Check to see if there's anything malicious?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Let me see."
Xiao Xiaojian examined the thoughts that swept towards Lu Ming.
Um……
Some are adoration, amazement, admiration, and wonder from women...and some are disgust and rejection from men...and some are hunger, greed, and desire?
"Lu Ming."
"Um?"
"Excuse me...are you opposed to happy balls?"
"???"
Lu Ming was confused.
Then I quickly understood something, and my face suddenly darkened.
Ganli Niang!
You learn the formal cultural words taught in textbooks very slowly, but you learn the Internet words that occasionally come to my mind very quickly?!
Can you still apply what you have learned?
"That is."
Xiao Xiaojian was very proud.
Extracting useful things from messy memories is its specialty.
And this time.
A female master suddenly came over.
"Hello."
The female master spoke.
"Not interested in!"
"Physically weak!"
"Easy to die suddenly!"
Lu Ming introduced himself decisively.
"???"
The female grandmaster looked confused, looked at Lu Ming with some confusion, and then glanced at Xiao Yousheng, "Is this little girl your child?"
"yes."
Lu Ming scratched his head.
oh.
Turns out she's not a rich woman...
"biological?"
The Grandmaster frowned.
"yes."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.
What does it have to do with you whether you are biological or not?
"Then she won't have to carry so many things!"
The female grandmaster pointed dissatisfiedly at the schoolbag behind Xiao Yousheng, which was almost taller than a child. She knew that children are under a lot of pressure nowadays...
but……
This schoolbag for primary school students...
Isn’t that a little too much?!
She was scared when she passed by just now.
If I hadn't seen Xiao Yousheng, I would have thought that the schoolbag had become a spirit and he was walking away...
Lu Ming:→_→
oh.
That's what it was for.
This was prepared by Xiaobai when he arrived.
Even though Lu Ming repeated again and again, this was just an ordinary annual meeting. He and Xiao Yousheng were just here to make some fun and meet the Zhao family to understand the situation...
but?
Xiaobai was still worried and decided to prepare his schoolbag.
Lu Ming was also helpless.
Shouldn't this thing be a strategic weapon?
Do I still have to carry it when I visit a house?
but.
When Xiaobai spoke, Lu Ming could only take it with him.
He was actually carrying it when he came in. He was afraid of people asking questions when he came in for inspection, so he asked Xiao Yousheng to carry it. Unexpectedly, he was also educated.
"I'll carry it."
Lu Ming took the schoolbag.
"..."
Xiao Yousheng blinked her eyes, very well-behaved.
The female grandmaster's gaze softened a bit, and she said a few words to Lu Ming before leaving.
Lu Ming: "..."
Mother's love is glorious...
…
for a long time.
Night falls.
The annual meeting dinner is about to begin.
For Lu Ming, this is really a daily activity.
He only needs to wait for the Zhao family to finish speaking, and then go over to find a few Zhao family members to ask about the situation. Of course it would be best if he could meet Zhao Yunshan.
that is it.
The Zhao family's security guards came in and led them to a venue.
"The chairman is discussing business with the masters."
The Zhao family said, "You can wait here first."
In the venue, there was everything to eat, drink, and have fun, and the Grandmaster’s family members were all very happy. After all, they came here just for fun.
"President."
The boy in white is also here.
"How does it feel?"
Lu Ming smiled.
“It’s not quite what I imagined.”
The boy in white scratched his head.
"oh?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
The annual meeting of the Zhao family is considered to be of the highest standard. The boy in white is not satisfied with this?
"Before I come."
The young man in white was very sorry, "They told me that in places with many people like this, there will usually be XX feasts and the like. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them."
Lu Ming:???
etc.
What the hell are you young people doing?
You guys are here just for the xx feast?!
Damn it!
Why do you think it’s all sea and sky?
"Get out!"
Lu Ming raised his leg and kicked it.
"President."
A shadow flashed past.
The boy in black appeared from behind the boy in white.
"Are you here too?"
Lu Ming was surprised, "What identity did you come in with?"
"My partner!"
The boy in white said proudly.
"Did they believe it?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
"Of course I don't believe it."
The boy in white was proud, "But I kissed him in front of them, and they believed me."
"..."
The young man in black had no expression on his face, as if he had something to hide.
Lu Ming: "..."
You can do it.
"It's okay if you come."
Lu Ming rubbed his head and said, "Help me find if any of the Zhao family members have come out."
"good."
The two of them understood.
for a long time.
They are back.
He didn't find the Zhao family, but he found mountains of various electronic equipment and some electric vehicles in the mountains behind the villa.
???
Lu Ming was confused.
Electronic equipment?
Electric car?
The Zhao family's business covers all walks of life, and it's not surprising that they have any products, but electric cars... why are there such things in this era?
Isn’t this era all driven by energy?!
"have no idea."
Xiao Xiaojian looked confused. He had never heard of electric cars.
"There are some."
Xiao Yousheng blinked and suddenly said, "Yesterday's history class, Aunt Xiaobai told me that when energy was not utilized in the early days, there was also a process of converting oil into electricity."
"Um……"
"At that time, the Transportation Association provided a large amount of subsidies in the hope of developing new energy sources, and a large number of subsidizing companies were born. It was not until the emergence of energy modules that ushered in the energy era that the chaos ended."
Xiao Yousheng imitated Xiao Bai's tone very seriously.
"good."
Lu Ming touched her little head.
Ah.
My little Yousheng is still smart, and by the way, she also despises Xiaoxiaojian, a loser.
Spicy chicken.
Xiao Xiaojian: "..."
The history books it read obviously didn’t include this paragraph!
"so……"
"Does the Zhao family actually take this step?"
Lu Ming was amazed.
Cheating...
He thought it was a special ranking in his previous life.
especially--
tram.
What is cheating?
The cost of building a tram is 20,000 yuan, the selling price is 150,000 yuan, and the state subsidy is 50,000 yuan. You see, you can make a net profit of 30,000 yuan without doing anything!
therefore.
Countless car companies are rapidly emerging on the market.
The only thing they do is take a bunch of garbage, label it, approve it, and then destroy it.
That's right.
There is no need to sell these cars at all.
The left hand creates a new energy company to build cars, the right hand creates an acquisition company, buys them in batches and sends them directly to the garbage dump...
Simple.
rough.
It doesn’t matter whether the car is good or not, or even whether it can be driven! Of course, there are some companies that are even better, cheating on subsidies and selling some at low prices.
after all.
We priced the car at 150,000, and now we sell it to you for 15,000. Do you get any profit from it?
This has also led to the emergence of a large number of 'mobile coffins' on the market, which are just covered in a shell and can move, and that's all. They are not as technologically advanced as Audi's double-diamond four-wheel drive racing car...
this--
It's the cheating and compensation situation in the previous life.
What Lu Ming didn't expect was that it would happen in this life!!!
and--
Or the Zhao family.
"is it a lot?"
Lu Ming whispered.
"many."
The boy in black nodded fiercely, "There are still hundreds of thousands of them."
hiss--
Lu Ming was shocked.
Hundreds of thousands of vehicles...
The Zhao family was really ruthless back then!
but.
Lu Ming immediately shook his head. These are all old things. The Zhao family's various charity activities and donations of billions and tens of billions have long since been repaid.
Looking at it objectively.
The Zhao family's group is a qualified enterprise. Its employees are well treated, they will help with retirement care when they are sick, and they can get 2n when they resign. A large number of charity activities are held every year...
As for the past...
The Transportation Association didn't pursue the case, so they certainly didn't have the right to take care of it.
but.
But the young man in black insisted on pulling Lu Ming over, "Master, you'd better go and have a look, those cars are a bit weird."
"What's weird?"
Lu Ming was confused.
"Look."
"Material."
"besides……"
The boy in black thought for a moment in confusion, "Headlight."
"Headlight?!"
Lu Ming couldn't laugh or cry.
It’s just a tram, not Senior Qiu, so what’s so weird about the headlights!
"You'd better go and have a look."
The young man in black looked serious.
"Okay, okay."
Lu Ming sighed.
This was the first time that the young man in black made such a request to himself. He thought about it, and as a qualified president, he still wanted to give some comfort to his disciples.
then.
He stood up and quietly left the venue with Xiao Yousheng.
…
in the dark.
The figure of the young man in black is erratic.
Lu Ming followed him and the boy in white and soon arrived at the back of the so-called Winter Refuge Villa.
over there.
Sure enough, I saw a lot of electronic products.
Yes.
Not just electric cars.
Before seeing electric vehicles, there are a large number of electronic products, including but not limited to various electronic watches, electronic cameras, electronic detectors, electronic panels, electronic hosts, lamps, purifiers, electronic sticks, coffee machines...
etc.
Piles like mountains.
Lu Ming took a look and was a little surprised.
In the early days of co-authorship, the Zhao family also had a smart home package.
certainly.
With the emergence of [Energy Modules], new energy swept everything, and these things were forcibly destroyed! As for whether they were cheated or not, it is not clear.
but.
Why does the Zhao family still keep these?
Lu Ming was curious.
If a normal enterprise was so stained, shouldn't it have been destroyed long ago?
In the midst of doubt.
They have arrived at their destination.
Lu Ming saw those abandoned electric cars, but after just one glance, he was confused and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
These cars...
It’s completely different from Lu Ming’s imagination of cheating trams!
These cars are huge.
Each one is quite like a heavily loaded truck!
And this look...
Sharp edges and corners...
Different shapes.
This style...
Tesla pickup truck?
Could it be that the designers of the Zhao family were hired by old horses?! When you were designing the car, did you lose the compass and only leave the triangle ruler...
Not a single rounded corner!
but.
If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter that the car was paid for through fraud.
Just as Lu Ming was about to leave, the young man in black pulled the corner of his clothes. Lu Ming raised his head in confusion, and his expression suddenly changed.
Buzz——
Those electric car lights suddenly flashed.
A piece of blood red.
The weird headlights were fully turned on, which made people feel frightened.
To know!
He is now a six-star beginner, as is the boy in black, and even they are frightened by these car lights. Once they are actually mass-produced...
This is not a car!
This is a weapon!!!
Lu Ming's face became serious.
etc.
If these cars really are weapons...
"quick!"
Lu Ming's face changed slightly, "Get out of here!"
"Um."
Several people planned to leave.
However.
Just at this moment.
boom!!!
A pillar of blood-colored light suddenly rose in Bihan Mountain Villa, and the terrifying bloody light swept around, covering Hanban Mountain Villa and dozens of kilometers around it!
"How brave!"
"You dare!"
Angry voices came out one after another.
The powerful auras of the grandmasters burst out in an instant. However, just for a moment, their auras were submerged again, and there was no more movement.
Buzz——
Buzz——
There was only the terrifying flash of blood.
world.
A piece of blood red.
…
"problem occurs!"
Lu Ming and others were shocked.
From their perspective, the entire Winter Refuge Villa turned red, without any breath coming out. It was very scary, you know...
Dozens of masters came this time!!!
And now...
Buzz——
Blood red light flashes.
It's like an alarm in times of crisis.
However.
The entire villa was filled with silence, which was eerie.
"President..."
The young man in white had a trembling voice.
His father is still in the villa!
As a card-making master, his father had no interest in the invitation at all. He begged his father to come with him. He never thought...
"Not urgent."
Lu Ming was also a little shocked, "Let's find out what happened first."
"Um."
The boy in white is sad.
And this time.
call out!
call out!
A faint breath emerges in the red light.
"somebody is coming."
The young man in black is alert.
"Hide it first."
Lu Ming whispered.
then.
Several people quickly hid somewhere in the mountains, and the young man in black activated his power to cover up everyone's aura quietly without being noticed.
soon.
Several security guards wearing Zhao family uniforms appeared.
They calmly pressed something on nearby electronic products for a long time. After they were done with their work, they quickly left the scene.
Lu Ming and others were full of doubts.
What are they doing?
Zhao family...
And just then.
Buzz——
Red light flashes.
The headlights shine again.
At the moment when Lu Ming and others were panicking, those vehicles that could only flash their lights actually moved at this moment. All the vehicles actually started at this moment!
Then……
stood up.
Lu Ming:???
Click!
Click!
Red light flashes.
Lu Ming and others watched helplessly as the vehicle stood upright, and the various components of the vehicle began to twist and change. When the reorganization was completed, it had completely changed its appearance!
The vehicle completely transformed into a human!
The blood-red headlight turned into eyes!
boom!
Trams transform people.
The body of nearly ten meters is frightening.
This is……
Lu Ming was shocked.
Change……
Transformers?!
…
Yes!
Transformers!
Lu Ming never imagined that after these changes, these trams would actually turn into Transformers! Turn into a real armed force!
"Is this the one you're talking about?"
Xiao Xiaojian was also shocked.
Lu Ming said every day that he was a straight man capable of transforming. He thought he was just a woman with metal properties, and never thought...
It’s actually this guy?!
He looked at the huge machine about ten meters away and was a little in disbelief, "Lu Ming, is this what you were doing in your hometown?"
Lu Ming: "..."
Can you please stop causing trouble?
Who?? wants to do this! I am not Orisha!
but.
at this time.
The red light is still changing, and the ground is shaking.
on the ground.
Those strange electronic products, those electronic products that Lu Ming thought were garbage, actually began to reorganize at this moment, and also began the journey of transformation!
"All alive!"
Lu Ming's heart was in a state of shock.
It turns out that it’s not just Transformers!
All the machinery and things made by the Zhao family came to life!
boom!
boom!
The machines moved.
All the electronic products, ranging from temperature and humidity detectors to large deformed trammen, got up and walked towards the cold mountain villa. They were densely packed.
Lu Ming and others lay flat on their stomachs, not daring to move at all.
for a long time.
After all the electronic products disappeared from their sight, they looked at each other in horror.
This situation...
So weird!
In the era of cultivation, who has ever seen this scene?!
…
"what to do?"
The boy in white is anxious.
"Follow up and have a look."
Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
Dozens of miles around were covered in blood, and it was impossible for them to escape! It was okay in this mountain range, but once they left the villa... they would probably be killed alive.
so.
Gotta figure out what's going on here!
then.
They followed the electronic products carefully.
Watch them step into the cold mountain villa step by step, watch the outer wall of their cold mountain villa be easily broken through by them, and watch all the products gather in the villa.
Then……
Kneel down!
There……
Surrounded by a group of security guards, they saw Zhao Jianye's figure, and in front of Zhao Jianye, a captured Seven-Star Grandmaster.
…
now.
Zhao Jianye stood up.
Step by step, ripples appeared under my feet.
Di——
A robot bent down, and its mechanical arms kept changing, turning into an electronic ladder for Zhao Jianye, helping him climb to the top step by step.
Like a king.
"strength……"
"It's wonderful, isn't it?"
Zhao Jianye smiled.
"You're looking for death!"
The grandmaster was furious, "Zhao Jianye!!! Do you think these toys can defeat the grandmaster? That's ridiculous! Even if you can deal with Qixing, what can you do?!"
"Practice one lineage and you can continue to become stronger!"
"And you metal scraps..."
"It's just a joke!"
"You wait."
"Wait until those old timers find out..."
"You will die!"
The Grandmaster sneered.
"I know."
Zhao Jianye was very calm, "So, I need you. Only with your help can they become stronger and challenge the Eight Stars!"
???
Grandmaster is confused, more...stronger?
"Ah."
Zhao Jianye chuckled, "Did you know? I have known for a long time that robots cannot defeat practitioners. Of course, everyone knows this fact."
"so……"
"Who told you they were robots?"
???
The Grandmaster looked at those machines and those huge things.
These……
What is it if it's not a robot?
"Silly boy."
Zhao Jianye patted his face and said, "Over the years, I have established hundreds of real estate companies, invested in various relics, and obtained development quotas..."
"certainly."
"We help you develop it for free in the name of charity..."
"We rebuild various ruins."
"Leave a back door."
"over there."
"I got everything I wanted."
???
The Grandmaster was still confused.
remains?
Development?
back door?
etc.
He suddenly remembered something. Over the years, as the general environment has improved and as geniuses have continued to appear, the number of grandmasters has never increased...
He used to think that it would be difficult to break through, but now it seems...
"So……"
"Pop quiz."
Zhao Jianye smiled slightly, "Where have the geniuses gone?"
"Could it be..."
The grandmaster's expression changed drastically.
"congratulations……"
"bingo."
Zhao Jianye smiled slightly.
"I've tried everything over the years to drive them."
"Some people say that hydropower is warm and soft, and I have tried it. Some people say that thermal power is passionate and unrestrained, and I have tried it. Some people say that nuclear power is straightforward and exciting, and I have tried it, too."
"pity."
"Too weak!"
"Even if I tried borrowing lightning from the sky, the power of lightning can only increase the robot's combat effectiveness to six stars!"
"Too weak!"
"So, I invested trillions in research and development, and finally discovered the electricity that can exert their strongest combat effectiveness - that is artificial electricity."
"That is..."
"you!"
brush!
As Zhao Jianye raised his hand.
The giant robots standing one by one stopped collectively.
chest.
The cold metal plate slowly fell, revealing the energy core. There, there turned out to be a Seven-Star Grandmaster penetrated by various lines!!!
brush!
brush!
One by one, the robots reveal their cores.
in……
They are all masters!!!
At this moment, all the Grandmasters are in a coma, connected by lines, and serve as energy sources and cores to drive huge robot activities.
"No!"
"impossible!"
The grandmaster screamed in horror as he saw many familiar figures.
A genius who reached the peak of six-star fame at a young age and made a breakthrough in the ruins...
A cultivator who is sixty or seventy years old and has yet to break through the final sprint limit...
Some masters who practice with their children...
Etc., etc.
Those grandmasters who once thought they would die in various ways such as "failed to break through" or "fallen in the ruins" are actually all here!
it turns out……
All alive!!!
even.
He saw his biological brother!
Back then, that idiot who stepped into the ruins of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and wanted to prove himself!
"you!"
"You devil..."
The master was frightened.
"Ha ha."
Zhao Jianye laughed, "I like this title. Don't worry, you will also be my best buddy."
then.
He waved his hand.
Two robots took action, captured him, and stuffed him into an empty shell without a Grandmaster.
"No!"
"I do not want!"
The master's horrified voice gradually disappeared.
for a long time.
The huge robot suddenly opened its eyes.
A bloody color.
A new machine is born!
Combat power...
Grandmaster!!!
"Hahahahaha!"
Zhao Jianye laughed wildly, "Don't you look down on us? Aren't you free to humiliate us?! If it weren't for you, how could she die!!!"
"If it weren't for you..."
"Yunshan..."
"How can there be no mother!"
"you……"
"Damn it!"
Zhao Jianye's eyes were blood red.
"There was a time when I was powerless against you."
"Now"
"I'm back……"
boom!
boom!
A special giant robot appears.
The blood glowed.
The robot slowly opened its chest.
Its limbs and torso were shimmering with light, and it actually contained four or five master-level energies. There was also a special cabin inside its chest.
now.
It squatted in front of Zhao Jianye.
brush!
Zhao Jianye stepped out step by step, stepped into the cabin, and sat on the seat like a king.
Buzz——
The robot starts.
His eyes flashed with dazzling blood.
brush!
All the robots around him were half-kneeling on the ground, as if to welcome their king.
