Shan Jingsheng flew into a rage. "Xia Chujian! How dare you sow discord?!"
Xia Chujian shrugged. "These days, telling the truth counts as sowing discord. You're such a nitpicker—do you really need anyone else to sow discord?"

It refused to admit that there might be Mechanical Intelligence more advanced than itself.
Xia Chujian did not think someone could have been doing farm work while invisible either.
Even if there were a mecha with stealth capabilities more advanced than the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, it could not possibly harvest those
