You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 108 Mecha Foundation Building (Thanks to 08a for the continuous donations over the past few days)

Liu Yi was somewhat surprised by Li Zhe's reaction.

But she persisted and continued to ask.

"Let's discuss some serious issues..." Liu Yi said in a deliberately serious tone, "Do you feel safer in battle when there is saturation firepower coverage that makes you feel 'bigger is better, more is better'?"

"Is it the ultimate speed and precise thrusts, where 'speed is the only way to break through all martial arts,' that really excite you?"

Is this question really serious?
Beyond the panel, Kazuko, who was standing next to Li Zhe, earnestly advised, "Is that even a question? Of course, it's giant ships and cannons."

"Caliber is justice, range is truth!"

"Commander, tell her that there is nothing that a 460mm main gun cannot solve."

"If so, then let's have another round!"

Li Zhe's lips curled slightly as he glanced at He Zi.

Then, looking at Liu Yi's projection, he slowly replied:

I want them all.

"We need both the brute force and endurance of the big things, and the flexibility and depth of the small things."

"Only by being able to control oneself and balance strength and gentleness can one experience true happiness, right?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of surprise flashed in Liu Yi's beautiful eyes, and her smile grew even brighter: "You're such a greedy person..."

"Okay, next question."

Her voice was lowered, with a hint of seductive panting: "When you conquer your opponent, do you enjoy their fierce resistance, allowing you to experience the thrill of conquest through repeated collisions and suppression?"

"Or do you prefer someone who is submissive and obedient, compliant to your every whim, and lets you do whatever you want with them?"

Kazuko frowned, realizing that something was amiss with these problems.

"Shameless! What nonsense is this woman spouting!" Kazuko's face flushed crimson with shame and indignation. "Commander, stop answering her lewd questions!"

Li Zhe smiled calmly and patted Hezi's head.

Then he said to Liu Yi, "The process and the result are equally important."

"I enjoy the process of taming an unruly beast into a docile kitten, and I also appreciate how adorable she is when she finally shows me her belly."

"Only truly powerful beings have the right to make their opponents completely submit."

"Whether in spirit or... in body."

His answer was full of double entendres, whether it was serious or not is up to your imagination.

Liu Yi listened intently, her eyes sparkling, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

"One last question..." She leaned close to Li Zhe's ear, her breath sweet as orchids, "Do you prefer the older sister or the younger sister?"

"This woman, she's finally giving up, huh?!" Kazuko was both ashamed and embarrassed, wishing she could break through the screen's limitations and rush to the other side of the universe to tear Liu Yi's mouth apart.

Li Zhe remained calm.

He looked at Liu Yi intently and replied:

"I like...sensible people."

Those few simple words instantly froze Liu Yi's smile.

She took two steps back and re-examined the man in front of her.

A hint of seriousness and apprehension crept into his eyes.

This man was far more difficult to deal with than she had imagined...

"Alright, Ms. Liu Yi," Li Zhe's tone turned serious, "the game of Truth or Dare ends here. Now, may you begin your performance?"

Liu Yi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding in her heart.

She knew that ordinary tests were no longer working on this man.

To gain his trust, you must demonstrate your true abilities.

Moreover, based on what I've just learned, the basic prerequisites for divination are met.

So that one's lifespan wouldn't be further shortened during the divination process...

"As you wish."

She closed her eyes and began the exhausting divination once more.

The data projection became extremely unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"puff--!"

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning ashen white.

But in her eyes, there was a kind of enlightenment and shock, as if she had seen the future.

“I… I saw…”

Her voice was hoarse from weakness.

But more than anything, there was an indescribable solemnity.

"Li Zhe, your fate... is shrouded in chaos, I cannot fully foresee it. "But I see an incredibly clear fragment of the future of your planet, Blue Star in Universe 7..."

She looked at Li Zhe and said, word by word:

"Recently, a massive catastrophe that will sweep across the seventh blue planet is about to erupt."

"This disaster may be a catastrophe for your world."

"But for you personally..."

Her eyes became incredibly complicated.

"But it was an unprecedented...great opportunity."

"Opportunity?"

"Yes." Liu Yi nodded, her tone carrying a strong suggestion, "I don't know exactly what that opportunity is."

"But I'm sure it's closely related to your breaking through your current bottleneck."

"It might even... allow you to touch upon the secrets of 'Foundation Building'."

Foundation building?

These two words made Li Zhe pause for a moment.

But then he thought of the combat power level classification system for the Star Mechs.

My current basic combat strength is still hovering below 10.

Although you can rampage through the Abyss Realm, Level 0, killing all sorts of monsters.

But in the end, he was just a lowly Qi Refining stage Karami who roamed the surface of a planet.

As for the Star Mech...

To reach the Golden Core level, one must possess the magnanimity to encompass an entire star.

At the Nascent Soul stage, one can traverse an entire spiral arm of the Milky Way.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one can even treat the Milky Way like a frisbee!

To embark on this extraordinary journey...

First, we must lay the foundation!

So, how exactly does one build a foundation...?

"I strongly advise you not to activate the beacon in the core area in the near future."

Liu Yi interrupted Li Zhe's thoughts in an extremely serious tone.

"Stay in your world, wait for the times to change, and seize this opportunity firmly."

"This, perhaps, is you..."

"This is also the only chance for your Universe 7 to catch up with the other universes."

After hearing these words, Li Zhe fell into a long silence.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of Liu Yi's tone and facial expressions, it can be determined that she was not lying.

At least she genuinely calculated this divination result, and she herself firmly believed in it.

The value of this prophecy is self-evident.

"Thank you."

Li Zhe solemnly stated that he had accepted the intelligence.

"Transaction complete."

Li Zhe, who had already prepared the illustrated and phonetic version of "Journey to the West," along with the accompanying CD and game, sent it to Liu Yi through the trading system.

Liu Yi was impressed upon seeing this brand-new mythological book and the rich information that came with it.

Her eyes instantly lit up with a light as if she had found a treasure.

She didn't even have time to examine it closely before eagerly accepting it.

"Thank you... thank you..." she murmured to herself, as if she had gained the whole world.

To express gratitude.

She used her last bit of strength to conjure a slightly blurry map in front of Li Zhe, yet with clearly marked coordinates.

"Your opportunity lies in the place indicated by the map..."

"According to my divination results..."

"If this place is not pacified, a certain inner demon will forever haunt the hearts of everyone in your homeland, and in the long run... this will prevent your entire Blue Star from ever achieving Foundation Establishment..."

"May you have great success in your military endeavors."

"I hope we'll meet again someday..."
