"Then what do you have in mind?"
Butashka simply stopped worrying about the question and tossed it back to Li Xin, letting him make his own request.

The Milky Way Galaxy was enough for now, but as he and the Mechanical Empire grew stronger, they would need more and more energy, and naturally, more and more Energy Pyramids. He was planning ahead.
