From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 189: Use small things to make big things happen
Lin Yu did not do his usual morning exercises today.

He just had a simple breakfast and then set off with Mo Dexian.

I hailed an unmanned taxi that was everywhere, drove smoothly all the way, and soon stopped at a familiar place.

【Happy Family Senior Apartment】

"Why are you here? Not...?"

Mo Dexian followed Lin Yu out of the car and looked at the conspicuous sign, feeling a little confused.

"This makes the medicine more effective."

Lin Yu smiled slightly, swiped the card with ease, and led Mo Dexian inside.

Although this is considered a nursing home, the structure of a senior apartment is actually no different from that of a normal residential community. There are still individual households, but there are many more management and service staff to provide convenience and safety in life.

Lin Yu led Mo Dexian, an old man, to walk in the community that was green like a garden, and they didn't look out of place at all.

"Do you come often?"

Mo Dexian was very surprised when he saw Lin Yu's skillful appearance.

"Not often, but I was recommended by a senior and came here to visit a few of his acquaintances."

Lin Yu explained with a smile, and they soon arrived at the familiar small park while talking.

It is still early morning, the perfect time for morning exercises.

Old men and women often wake up early and many of them start to exercise, so naturally there are many people doing morning exercises here.

It’s just that most people here have some connection with the mecha group, so the style of morning exercises is a little different.

For example, in the upper left corner, an old man is concentrating on hitting a tree. The huge tree, which is so thick that two people can hug it, is groaning continuously after being hit.

For example, in the center, two muscular old men with tendons all over their bodies are fighting, and it is unclear whether it is daily training or just a pure brawl.

There were also a number of old ladies with graceful looks gathered around, some cheering, some chatting and discussing, or doing chest expansion exercises and strolling around.

Then there are those who exercise while playing chess using large millstone chess pieces, and those who fight in the metaverse game early in the morning.

Oh, there are also quite a few kids who may still be childish at heart, controlling small robots to play the mecha duel that the kids in the downtown area are so keen on.

In short, each painting style is quite unique and strange.

When Lin Yu saw those old men gathered together to play mecha duel, he immediately became interested.

How dare you duel in front of me, the uncrowned king who swept across Block Street and Barak Street, the great devil Lu Bu in the mecha duel world?

It’s just a fool’s errand!

Outrageous!

"Mr. Mo, I'll leave it to you from now on. Follow the instructions and there will be no problem keeping it safe."

Lin Yu patted Mo Dexian's shoulder earnestly, then left him and went over to the old men who were playing mecha duel.

Only Mo Dexian was left, at a loss and disheveled in the wind.

Lin Yu brought him here to "help", and it was not difficult to guess what the help was for.

The answer is obvious.

Selling medicine.

After all, the mission of being effective in all cases requires nine consecutive people to give high praise from the bottom of their hearts.

If there really were some risky drugs, he might have spent money to find some volunteers or catch a few criminals.

But this is a medicine for strengthening the body and consolidating the foundation. It is a real good thing for nourishing the body and does not need to be verified.

This is a formula that I deduced using my fourth-level medical, third-level pharmacy, and bioengineering knowledge through the Hua Tuo personality mimicry process, so there will definitely be no mistakes.

Since it is a good thing, it is natural to give back to old acquaintances.

It can also be regarded as compensation to these victims on behalf of his ignorant subordinate named Xue.

Well, in short, it is definitely not considering that these old guys are likely to have functional defects, and it is easier for them to give positive comments on the efficacy of the medicine after they have lost it and recovered it.

But here is the problem.

He sincerely wanted to compensate these elderly people by strengthening their bodies and prolonging their lives.

But people may not think so.

Although this "body-strengthening" medicine is effective and has no harm but only benefits, it is ultimately a "three-no" product without any certification or inspection.

Just like Mo Dexian was reluctant to take the medicine at first, it is even more unlikely that other people would take these medicines of unknown origin.

Especially the old men and women in Huanle Family Nursing Home, they are all retired people who have seen many ups and downs.

They may not be very powerful, but their life experiences are definitely exciting enough.

If he really goes there to sell these three-no drugs, people will definitely ignore him. They might even report him and ask the apartment management to kick him out.

But human nature is often universal and unified.

If you offer it with a smug look on your face, people will most likely suspect that you have bad intentions.

But if they have worked hard to find out or even begged for it, then the attitude is different.

Most scams are based on this principle.

Therefore, at times like this, Mo Dexian naturally has to take action.

Only people of the same age as Mo Dexian can have a common language and be more persuasive.

Lin Yu had already laid out the general plan early on.

In short, he relied on his age advantage as an old man and pretended to be a newcomer in the senior apartment. He first got along well with the old men and women, and then inadvertently leaked the news about the health-enhancing medicine.

But... just as the plan began, Mo Dexian found himself in trouble.

He is usually eccentric and strange, a well-known weird old man who uses his head to mingle with others.

Physically, we are pretty close.

So he moved here and there, and wandered around in all the small circles of old men's activities, but he couldn't utter a word.

His face became darker and darker.

"You look unfamiliar, are you new here?"

Finally, it was an old lady who dressed herself meticulously who saw how out of place he looked and kindly took the initiative to talk to him.

"Ah."

Mo Dexian nodded reluctantly with a gloomy face.

The old lady asked again: "Which mecha group did you just retire from?"

"Ah."

Mo Dexian paused for a moment and nodded again.

"What did you do before?"

The old lady continued to ask questions while doing her aerobics.

"Mecha engineer."

Mentioning his proud profession, Mo Dexian straightened his back a little, and added: "Chief."

"That's great. Look, those people over there are all retired engineers. You should have something in common with them. Never mind. I'll take you there."

The old lady stopped her aerobics and took Mo Dexian to the group of old men who were gathered together to play mecha duel, and introduced them to him.

However, the other old men were all focused on the duel between the small and medium-sized mechas on the scene, and they were all very excited, so the old lady's introduction did not cause any response.

However, Mo Dexian found an acquaintance here.

Forest language.

At this moment, he had borrowed a small mecha from someone and was welcoming the challenges from these old men like a defender.

...Or you could say they were taking turns bullying these people.

"This kid..."

Mo Dexian's mouth twitched when he saw it.

A mecha duel is nothing more than a comparison of operation and the performance of the mecha toys.

These old men seemed to be mainly engineers, so they were naturally competing more on the performance of their respective mecha toys. Many of them carried tools and micro parts with them, and would make changes on the spot if they lost or found something that needed to be optimized.

But... none of these people can compare with me in engineering skills, so how can they possibly compare with this evil kid?

As for comparing operational skills, there is no need to compare. This guy is a real pilot, the successor of Thunder Strike. Anyone without some strength would not dare to take this position.

In addition, young people are energetic and quick to react, so they can be said to be completely crushed in all aspects.

It is indeed a bit immoral to come here and bully these old guys.

In particular, he saw that this kid was very treacherous. He always pretended to be just a little bit short of winning and won by a narrow margin every time, which made these old men so angry that they cried out in anger, but they were unwilling to admit defeat and made modifications or replaced people.

"You won't be able to win with this modification. This guy is a pilot. You can't win by competing with him in operation. You can only take an unconventional approach and use the performance of the machine to crush him. You can do this..."

With a bit of professional instinct, a bit of showing off, and a plan that needed to be integrated into, Mo Dexian couldn't help but give instructions after watching for a while.

At first, few people cared.

But his level was indeed very high, and his various analyses and designs were well-founded, which soon attracted the attention of these old men who were also retired engineers.

After his opinions were adopted several times and he showed more and more strength, he immediately became a favorite of those defeated old men, who pulled him aside one by one to ask him for advice.

As for Lin Yu, he naturally cooperated by letting the opponent win a little, making it more and more difficult for him to win each time, but he always won by chance, which made the old men more angry and united against the enemy.

In the end, this group of old men even called for help and invited retired pilots to take their place.

However, in the end it was still very close and unfortunately we lost.

"Ahhh, I'm so angry. If this kid hadn't been so lucky as to fall, I would have killed him with that one blow of my sword just now!"

"No, I don't accept it, come again!"

"What kind of crooked trick is this? Come on!"

A group of retired old pilots who were invited to come as rescuers were also howling with anger.

There's no way around it. Lin Yu's luck-based ways of winning are really infuriating.

Moreover, they were originally invited in as reinforcements and were placed with high hopes by everyone. Now they have lost to a young junior, so naturally they feel embarrassed.

There were many pretty old ladies nearby who had just finished their morning exercises and came over to watch the fun when they heard the noise.

"【Mecha Pilot】Upgrade Requirements - Small but Great: Win the battle against the experienced pilot. (Completed)"

It was just a joke, but it turned out to be an unexpected gain.

Fighting against experienced pilots, well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Looking at the sturdy old man with white hair opposite him, Lin Yu easily confirmed his qualifications.

Seniority is correct.

Battle is correct.

Victory is right.

It is reasonable to complete the requirement of upgrading the mecha driving to level 4.

Then glance at the other two requirements.

"【Mecha Pilot】Upgrade Requirements - Defeat the Strong with the Weak: Win a battle where the overall performance of the mecha is at a disadvantage."

"【Mecha Pilot】Upgrade Requirements - Win with Few: Win in a one-on-many pilot battle."

David and Goliath was not accomplished.

Apparently, it is limited to real mecha combat due to limitations such as "machine performance".

The mecha toys modified by these people after Mo Dexian's guidance are definitely more powerful than the borrowed one he has.

If it could be completed, it would have been completed just now.

but……

It’s impossible to defeat the strong with the weak, but you can try to defeat the many with the few.

After all, from a description point of view, it is no different from making a small profit with a big investment.

then……

"Oh, it's so boring. I thought I could learn something from you seniors, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even lose a game."

Lin Yu sighed with regret.

I'm not targeting anyone!

I want to say that everyone here is a loser!
Naturally, many old men were so angry when these words were spoken that they fumed and glared at the boy, some even wanted to roll up their sleeves and let the boy experience the physics education from their predecessors.

"It's no fun to fight alone, you two should come together."

Lin Yu uttered wild words again.

"How brave!"

"Let's go together, there's no need to talk about the code of conduct with this kid!"

"Let's teach this kid a lesson today!"

The old men were filled with indignation.

The old men all attacked.

The old men were defeated miserably.

"【Mecha Pilot】Upgrade Requirement——Winning with fewer troops: ... (Completed)"

Well, by the way, I have contributed another task requirement to Lin Yu.

"Damn it, kid, you're just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, right? Which mecha group is it from?"

At this time, no matter how stupid the old men and women were, they could see that Lin Yu was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

The previous narrow wins were due to various bad lucks, and they were just "controlling the points" and making fun of them.

The old men who participated in the battle became even more depressed and angry.

The old men and women watching were mostly surprised.

Whose freak boy is this? He is so powerful at such a young age.

The one who can enter the courtyard must be a descendant of a certain family.

Those with active minds have already started thinking about whether they can introduce their granddaughters to the young people so that they can get to know each other.

"Young man Zhang Wuji."

Of course, Lin Yu couldn't use his own name here, so he immediately borrowed a pseudonym.

Well, it can be considered as helping someone become famous. I don’t think Zhang Wuji will blame me.

"Zhang Wuji? I think I've heard of him..."

"Do you have a girlfriend, young man? Or would you mind changing your girlfriend? Having multiple girlfriends?"

"Would you like to go to grandma's house for lunch?"

A group of defeated old men were complaining about themselves, but Lin Yu became a favorite in the eyes of the old ladies, who wished they could pull him over to be their grandson-in-law or something.

Lin Yu suddenly felt that he could not resist any more, so he could only glare at Mo Dexian and then flee in panic.

"Hahaha, kid, don't run away if you have the guts. Let's fight for another 300 rounds."

The old men who were originally very angry were no longer angry when they saw this scene, and they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

As for Mo Dexian, he had already become familiar with everyone after some time, so it was natural for him to stay and chat with the old men.

He inadvertently revealed in his conversation that he is still as strong as ever.

I fought all night last night, just as hard as I did back then.

"Qi, Old Man Mo, you brag without thinking."

"Vulgar, so vulgar. You are already old, but you still care about such vulgar tastes."

"really."

"Old Mo, I admire your engineering skills, but you can't just lie..."

"You're saying that everyone is incapable of doing this. Just ask, who among those present here is not like this?"

"Yes, we just got away from vulgarity."

Mo Dexian's bragging aroused condemnation from many old men.
