Rewards in Hand

The Molten Gold Shop's words surprised everyone and left the Security Officer at a loss for what to do.

They originally arrested Old Wang and his group because of the plaintiff, but now that the plaintiff is gone, what's the point of arresting them?

"Thousand King, I'll open it for you!"

"Thank you so much President Jin!" Old Wang.

"You're too kind, you're too kind!"

President Jin's gratitude to Old Wang was absolutely genuine; if it weren't for them, not a single person on that boat would have survived.

There's no way Molten Gold Shop could suppress something like this; the damage to their reputation would be fatal.

What's even more dangerous is that if the enemy escapes because of their ships, General Zhang's men will not let them go.

Despite their Molten Gold Shop being scattered throughout the entire Human Star Domain, they are nothing compared to General Zhang's power.

The other party doesn't even need to do anything; just expressing their dissatisfaction will attract countless people to cause them trouble.

At that point, serious injuries might be the least of your worries; you could be completely shattered.

Therefore, his gratitude to the Future Guild was genuine.

After being released, Old Wang and the others went to Xun Min's place with President Jin.

They had been waiting for Old Wang and the others for quite some time, waiting for Old Wang to report on the situation.

Not only Xun Min was waiting, but also Zhang Ping'an, Li Yulong, and the wounded General Zhang.

The allure of power is immense; an elderly person, already so old and confined to a wheelchair due to injury, still comes to a meeting.

Old Wang truly admired his spirit.

However, Old Wang didn't want to get involved in these matters. He quickly explained the situation to everyone.

"Are you sure that thing drifted into the Void along with that Mutant Insect?" Xun Min asked.

"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but I'm certain it deviated from its course," Old Wang said.

"Then there's no problem. They took my full-force attack; it's unlikely they could survive if they deviated from Void flight path," General Zhang said.

He looked much more relaxed as he spoke, as if he had let go of something important.

Old Wang gave him a deep look, then said nothing.

He is now insignificant and has no influence; even if he wanted to stand up for General Huang and Huang Rui, he wouldn't have the chance.

"Alright, here's your reward, take it!" Xun Min said, handing the [Platinum Heart] to everyone.

Just as Old Wang was about to answer it, he heard a voice say:

"Wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Old Wang stopped what he was doing, because he recognized the voice as that of his Master, Old Luo.

"Let's change the reward!" Old Luo said to Xun Min as he entered the hall.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhang Ping'an and Li Yulong exchanged a smile, a slight upturn to their lips.

You're always thinking about those schemes and plots; this time, your attempt to steal a chicken backfired.

Their scheme failed, and they ended up offending the most important figure in the truly Neutral Faction.

Xun Min was also surprised by Old Luo's sudden arrival. Shouldn't he have gone to check on the situation on his Homeworld after just returning to the Homeworld Base? Why was he here?

Thinking of this, Xun Min looked at Old Wang carefully and then said with a smile:

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I've already solved the original problem with the [Platinum Heart]. Now, its evolution no longer requires absorbing much Gold Crystal energy!"

"Really?" Old Luo asked incredulously.

He had heard of the Platinum Heart engine before; it had a very serious flaw since its inception.

Although it can grow alongside Mecha owner, each growth requires a large amount of Gold Crystal.

The implication is that having the Valt Family raise him would be extremely difficult and costly.

This is something no single person can afford to raise; forcing someone to raise it will only bankrupt them.

However, to Old Luo's surprise, Xun Min actually solved this problem.

"Of course it's true. Although he still needs some Gold Crystal to evolve, it only costs 1 million to evolve to level 60!" Xun Min.

No one doubted his words, because everyone knew he would never lie about such a thing.

He actually managed to turn the tables. Did he know Carrot was coming all along?

"If it weren't for that flaw, this equipment would indeed be very powerful; you can take it," Old Luo said to Old Wang.

Old Wang nodded, looked at the attributes of the Platinum Heart, and then assigned it to Lin Qimeng.

His Core Engine doesn't need to be replaced, because it's only slightly better than the Mystic Phoenix Engine.

Keep in mind that the Mystic Phoenix Engine is only Perfect now; once it's upgraded to Legendary, it will definitely surpass others.

And he'll be level 40 soon, Mystic Phoenix Engine will be upgraded soon, so it would be a waste for him to take it; it would just be a waste of an Epic item.

At the same time, he can't participate in the League Tournament now, and their team actually lacks damage output. If Lin Qimeng has better equipment, their matches will be easier.

The Platinum Star is a pure damage-dealing engine, so it's only suitable for Lin Qimeng to equip.

"You don't want it? Right, you have the Mystic Phoenix Engine, so you really don't need it!" Old Luo said after seeing Old Wang distribute the equipment to Lin Qimeng.

"The Mystic Phoenix Engine? Are there any Mecha that can still operate that thing?"

"Then his Mecha is a natural-born Unit Zero. I've never heard of anyone like that at the Academy?"

Seeing the whispers and discussions among the crowd, Old Wang realized that it wasn't just the Player who did this; even these high-level NPCs did it.

"You guys continue your conversation, I'm going back!" General Zhang suddenly said, watching the scene unfold.

The remaining three people smiled slightly at him and watched him leave.

In their eyes, this person had already lost the right to compete; it was truly a case of misfortune befalling someone who was sitting at home!

"Master, what exactly is the purpose of those Mutant Insect? What exactly is this so-called Divine Artifact they're talking about?"

After Old Wang left with Old Luo, he couldn't contain his curiosity and asked a question.

"That was an Otherworldly Stone whose purpose we didn't know. It was seized from the incarnation of the Leviathan King during the battle when our regiment intercepted them!"

We didn't know what that thing was for, but after we captured it, the Swarm attacked us like crazy.

In the end, it was only through the intervention of Humanity's Number One Expert that the Swarm calmed down.

Although we don't know what it's for, we know it must be very important to the Insectoid, so we sealed it away on our Homeworld.

The Insectoid have never given up searching for this thing over the years, and this time they somehow found out its location.

"It just so happens that I'm not at the Homeworld Base, which is why this happened..."

"Is that so? Then, Master, can humans transform into Insectoid?" Old Wang asked again.

"Why do you ask that? Do you know something?" Old Luo asked.

"Of the five Insectoid members in this operation, one looks very much like Huang Rui," Old Wang said.

"Are you sure?" Old Luo.

"Confirmed!" Wang Qianduo.

"We've always known that the Insectoid have the ability to transform other races into Mutant Insect, but we've never heard of them transforming humans."

Our strength as humans lies in our brains powered by Mana Mech; unless it's Legendary feat, our physical abilities are simply no match for other races.

Even if they are Legendary, they are only comparable to the elites of some Normal races.

They gain nothing from converting us unless they've mastered the technology to preserve the Mecha.

But that doesn't make sense. If they had that kind of technology, they wouldn't have only converted Huang Rui!

Old Luo was very puzzled. He didn't doubt Old Wang's words, but he just didn't understand what the Insectoid were trying to do.

"Could it be that Huang Rui is special? Even after becoming Insectoid, he can still summon Mecha. I've seen it!" Old Wang.

"No, although Huang Rui is very talented, there are at least eight or ten thousand naturally gifted people in the entire human race."

There are quite a few people among them who are more talented than Huang Rui; she is nothing special!

Even your talent is better than hers. If I were Mutant Insect, I would definitely choose to capture you! Old Luo.

Old Wang: "..."

Thank you for your compliment!

However, it seems that Huang Rui has indeed hidden her talent very well; even Old Luo didn't discover it.

"Although I don't know why, I will have someone investigate the possibility that Huang Rui was transformed into Insectoid!"

"Old Huang spent his whole life fighting against the Insectoid, he shouldn't have ended up like this!" Old Luo said.

"Should I go check?" Old Wang.

"I have something more important for you to do!"

"What's up?"
