Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

Having already adopted Sherlock Holmes's mindset, Sangmei immediately followed her grandfather's train of thought, her gaze lingering for a few seconds on a passing mannequin production line.

Watching himself, Morty, Beth, Jerry, and Grandpa's androids being created one by one.

Although asking this now might disrupt Grandpa's serious conversation, Sangmei couldn't help but ask about the role of those androids.

Grandpa rolled his eyes at someone for slacking off, but he still explained that these androids were there to protect them from disaster.

Since the Hermuel incident, assassinations by the Galactic Empire have been ongoing throughout the multiverse, after all, the capital of the mighty Galactic Empire had been bombed like that.

If we don't kill off a bunch of restless fools, where will the empire's authority be?

Are we supposed to hold the hands of those ambitious people and sit down for a casual chat?

C137 and Rick's grandfather, who were key targets, made frequent appearances during this incident, and naturally, they couldn't escape assassination attempts.

so...

"How many androids have been assassinated?"

"About 30,000 to 40,000 fake families have already been destroyed. The assassinations are getting more and more intense every day. I'll have to open another production line to meet the needs of those assassins."

"..."

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. The so-called battle of wits is actually never that difficult. The simplest and most practical, yet also the most difficult, operation is to point out the direction to him and make him obediently follow that path."

When Grandpa saw this, he noticed Sangmei's expression, which seemed to understand, but not quite.

He casually picked up an alloy steel pipe from the assembly line, gestured for Sang Mei to hold it, and then asked again, "I asked you to hold this steel pipe because I wanted you to do that. Isn't that a bit too deliberate?"

"So, suppose you want to kill me, I've brought you here, and the closest weapon to you is a steel pipe. If you're confident in your fighting skills, wouldn't you pick up the steel pipe and try to stab me?"

"Yes...yes! Because if I'm confident, I will definitely do it!" Sang Mei hesitated for a second, but after thinking it through completely, she grasped the core of the battle of wits.

Seeing that she understood, Grandpa didn't say anything more. He continued to take Sangmei to inspect the entire production line, and then they prepared to leave.

As for the commander, Grandpa was just joking. Although he doesn't understand how space warfare is fought, Stein has plenty of space war commanders who are eager for a chance to return to Earth.

Therefore, they don't need to worry about battlefield command.

On the contrary, ever since Sang Mei turned misfortune into blessing and gained the ability to think in the mind of anyone, her value has been rising steadily. She is no longer the little girl who could be easily discarded.

On the contrary, she deserves to be nurtured by myself.

However, unlike Morty's path of constantly developing in terms of combat power, Sangmi's positioning is to take the route of strategic combat. For example, when she encounters an old rival, and both sides are very familiar with each other's routines, and a new generation of power is needed to create new routines, that's when Sangmi steps in.

That's why Grandpa is now teaching Sangmei how to outsmart her.

Because Rick in a suit isn't really a loser; he just focuses too much on his collection. If he starts to shift his attention, then this guy who rose to power by stepping on countless Ricks before the establishment of Rick City will show his strength from back then.

This is tricky~

Grandpa stopped and asked Sangmei, who was still pondering the words "battle of wits". He then asked her, "If it were her who had to outwit Rick in the suit this time, what would you do?"

"Um... should we send an assassin to kill him?"

"Did I just waste my breath talking to you?!"

"No, I was just kidding." Having realized that her grandfather seemed to be really starting to value her, Sangmei immediately smiled, and then she immediately got into a serious state.

Now that they know that Rick in a suit has eliminated his informant and declared him a traitor, the others around Rick in a suit will certainly not dare to take too much risk to do the same.

Therefore, our side is currently unable to obtain any intelligence from Rick in the suit.

Given Rick's understanding of Morty's importance, he must know that Grandpa wouldn't let it go so easily and would go back to take Morty back.

So the current situation is that Rick in the suit knows that Grandpa will go and steal Morty, so he has likely moved Morty to a place that no ordinary person would know about, a place that only he or a few other people know about.

In fact, in order to launch another counterattack, he might even create a fake Morty to lure Grandpa and give him a fierce counterattack.

This results in the fact that there are actually not many optimal strategies for one's own side.

"Stop with the nonsense, so what are you going to do?"

Hearing Sang Mei ramble on and on, Grandpa rolled his eyes in annoyance. He didn't want any analysts; he wanted people who could solve problems.

So you, Sangmei...

"Go and capture Rick in the suit! Keep squeezing his space! Let him lose his composure under repeated attacks, and eventually flee like an animal to the place where he feels safest!"

"Yes! Arrest him! But that's not enough!"

Chapter 418 Smearing

As the space-age ground warfare commanders recruited by Stein took their places, the top platform of Mirror City, a space building with multiple functions, slowly opened to both sides along the central axis.

Beneath the semi-circular alloy cover, large and medium-sized troop transport ships and heavy laser tanks, along with other cannon fodder suitable for assault battles, carrying their respective vehicles, began to fly out of the Mirror City.

At this moment, two thick cannons extended from the flanks of the Mirror City. After adjusting the angle upwards, two streams of oily green energy shot out into the starry sky at the same time, and then converged at a certain point.

boom! ! !

After a small explosion, a giant portal nearly 100 meters long and wide appeared in space.

A large number of spaceships that had already taken off and reached maximum speed immediately flew into the portal. As soon as they passed through the portal, they arrived in a tropical rainforest with a large swamp.

But they did not descend. Only a small number of special combat robots, tasked with blasting out space anchor points, leaped from the troop transport ships downwards, landing in trees or swamps.

Immediately afterwards, the special operations robots, which were preparing to act according to plan, became the first victims of this war.

A large number of machine gun emplacements that had been lying in wait below rose up from the swamp, a place that most people would consider almost impossible to ambush.

The laser, seemingly capable of cutting through anything, easily destroyed these robots, but the missile strikes from high altitudes also caused them heavy losses.

A fierce battle immediately broke out between the two sides in their struggle to control and protect the space anchor point.

But this is only one place...

Apart from the spatial anchor point, all of Suit Rick's properties outside of Ruicheng were attacked by large mixed legions.

The bio-engineered crocodile man, wielding an energy shield and an acceleration axe, roared as he charged towards the defensive line.

Then there's the sniper robot, which has a simple structure, low cost, but amazing killing power.

Even some humans who have undergone biological or mechanical modification surgery.

Wave after wave relentlessly crushed all businesses related to Rick in his suits, even the restaurants he had visited on a whim were set ablaze with gasoline by his grandfather's cannon fodder.

Rick in a suit was naturally aware of such a large-scale attack. As the leader of the Rick City Syndicate, he showed no intention of backing down, even when facing other Ricks of similar status.

Or rather... he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Because he had never liked his grandfather since he was young. He thought his grandfather was a piece of trash, worse than a dog, who only knew how to play those dirty little tricks.

Since he wants to fight a fair and square battle.

Then let's fight!

Instead of deploying the Ruicheng Commando Unit to the war, Rick in a suit gave the order for military organizations scattered across thousands of universes to begin assembling.

Target?

Protect all his properties until his grandfather's forces are exhausted.

And they sent out a legion of over 100,000 men, using Morty as bait, to lure Grandpa into a trap, and then... kill him!

To Grandpa and Sangmei, Rick's response in the suit was nothing unusual.

With almost half of its military force deployed in this battle to cripple Rick's business empire, Rick would inevitably have to send people to protect his assets.

Otherwise, even if he wins.

His actions in this war will also tear away the facade of benevolence between him and his cronies.

You take out your conflicts and disputes on us subordinates, and you don't even send a single person to protect us?

If Rick in a suit can't afford the cost, then he will inevitably have to send people to protect the property and the elite core members of the organization who have no ability to protect themselves in this great war.

This was the first step in Sangmei's plan, guided by her grandfather.

Launch a full-scale war, launch a multi-pronged attack, cut off Rick in his suit's wings, and then use deceptive tactics to mislead the enemy commanders about which front is the main attack.

Once the muddy waters are stirred up, Rick in his suit will inevitably set a trap to lure Grandpa and her into it.

But if we follow the path left to us by the enemy, wouldn't we be at their mercy?

Therefore, Sammy chose to negotiate!

But the negotiation wasn't with Rick in a suit; it was with another powerful Rick within the syndicate, since not everyone wanted to get involved in a pointless war.

“P850, don’t worry. The organization is very dissatisfied with Rick in the suit’s actions this time. If you’re willing to eliminate him for us, then of course we’re willing to unilaterally cease fire with you.”

In a coffee shop with a history of over a hundred years located in a parallel universe.

The room, which had been cleared out by the bodyguards Rick, was empty of anyone of interest; even the coffee was brewed by Rick and his bodyguards themselves.

Sitting opposite Sammy, Rick was also wearing a suit, but compared to Rick's flamboyant and extravagant style, his dark suit appeared understated and mysterious.

The mysterious Rick, wearing a white silk scarf with brown cloud and mist patterns around his neck, accepted his grandfather's suggestion in its entirety. As he picked up his coffee cup with his right hand, he also glanced sideways at Sangmei.

"Your Sangmei seems quite intelligent. Do you have so many resources around you that you even have the resources to cultivate someone like Sangmei?"

"She benefited from a misfortune, it has little to do with me. Besides, she's too naive. She's just entered this cruel world and hasn't really learned her first lesson yet. Alright! Now that we've finished discussing things, let's initiate the internal sanctions procedure!"

Grandpa, who wasn't in the mood for idle chatter today, urged the other party to hurry back and conduct an internal vote to ensure that Rick in a suit could be abandoned by the Syndicate as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll head back right away."

Knowing that his grandfather wasn't really interested in chatting, the mysterious Rick got up, took out his teleportation gun, opened a portal, and led the way inside...

Then this powerful figure within the Ruicheng Syndicate was completely torn to shreds by the shredder. The silk that Sang Mei thought was quite beautiful fell heavily to the ground after being stained red with blood in mid-air.

Rick's bodyguards turned pale instantly.

boom! boom! boom!

Grandpa and Sangmei started opening cans one after another until the coffee shop, which had been understated yet luxurious just moments before, was completely filled with red and white.

"Jesus!!! What's going on!!!" Sang Mei screamed in despair.

But Grandpa remained calm. He took out a bottle of liquor from his clothes, took a slow sip, then got up and smashed the guy's teleportation gun, destroying all the chips and storage components inside.

"You did this? Why would you do this? Didn't we already negotiate? He wanted to get rid of that person!"

In response to Sang Mei's angry questioning, Grandpa slowly made a "two" gesture with his right hand. "Lesson Two in the Battle of Wits: Sometimes, when you try to smear someone, you don't necessarily have to throw the mud at them, but the mud will still get back at them."

"Welcome to the cruel real world, where you have no friends, no love, no warmth, only eternal struggle!"
