Objects from the Ancient Ruins

At that moment, two sounds of Helmet being put down came from the side.

Mu Fan looked over and saw Qing Jiang and Qibu Man, who had just put down their Helmet.

They both looked at Mu Fan with curious eyes.

"Uh, you guys are done?" Mu Fan immediately put on a poker face, his expressionless demeanor making sure the two of them didn't notice anything unusual about his face.

"Yeah, I'm done... What happened to you just now?" Qing Jiang, who was closest, adjusted his speech and asked.

"Uh, it's nothing. I just finished playing, and I'm feeling quite emotional." Mu Fan's face was expressionless.

"Haha, we just finished playing too. I lost two matches in a row, only narrowly winning one of them. These mechs are really too difficult to operate." Qing Jiang replied excitedly as soon as Mu Fan mentioned the intranet battle.

"I only won one game, and I think my opponent in that game was a newcomer. I got crushed by the others," said Qibu Man, a sturdy young man, honestly.

"And you, Mu Fan? You're so strong, you'll definitely be fine, right?" Both of them knew about Mu Fan's feats on Planet 131 and on the Star-borne Ship.

Mu Fan indicated that he didn't want to talk to the two of them right now, but when he saw those two pairs of longing eyes, Mu Fan coughed.

"I'm okay. The game was very intense, and I'm a little overwhelmed."

"Yes, I found the battles here to be much more intense than on the PO Battle Network. As expected, the people from the Dingchuan Academy are not to be underestimated. Those mecha majors are much stronger than a half-baked amateur like me," Qibu Man agreed.

Seeing that he had finally managed to steer the conversation away from the topic, Mu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He would be absolutely embarrassed to admit that he hadn't won a single game.

At Villa No. 7 in Blue Moon Bay, three people are enjoying tea in a pavilion located beside a mountain stream. A tall maid is bending down to fill the teacup with water.

In the center, a young man with a slightly pale face raised his eyebrows and blew on the tea. Behind him, two soft, boneless hands were kneading it just right, which made him look like he was enjoying himself.

The two people beside him were dressed in a refined retro shirt and a dashing casual suit.

The seemingly refined young man slowly spoke, "Every time I come here, I envy Brother Gaoling. I really regret not making a move to win over the women of the Jigu Race back then."

The young man enjoying a massage from behind laughed and said, "Young Master Tang, if you like it, feel free to take it. Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs."

The woman behind him, whose body was partially obscured and whose face was exquisite, moved her hands without any distortion, only revealing a faint smile on her lips.

As a female slave of the Jigu Race, obeying her master's orders was the most basic quality.

"Never mind, a gentleman doesn't take what others like. Brother Gaoling, you should be careful to restrain yourself, haha." The seemingly refined young man was none other than Tang Nashiu, who picked up a cup of tea and slowly drank it all.

"Excellent tea. Young Master Lin, wouldn't you like a cup?"

The dashing young man next to him smiled upon hearing this, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Young Master Lin is indeed generous. This unpretentious spirit is truly rare. Who would have thought that a financial tycoon from Landu Star would have such a carefree side? In comparison, your younger brother is far inferior." Gao Lingze gave a thumbs up.

Lin Wu waved his hand dismissively, "Lin An is still young, let him live the life of a normal spoiled young master."

"No one in the Lin family can compete with you now. It seems the position of the Lin Family Head can be decided in advance, haha," Gao Lingze praised.

Tang Nashiu glanced at Lin Wu, who remained indifferent, and smiled, "The Lin family is only with Young Master Wu around. If Young Master Wu were to establish his own family, then Young Master Wu himself would be the Lin family."

This flattery subtly defused Gao Lingze's careless remarks and finally brought a smile to Lin Wu's face.

With a keen understanding of human nature, Tang Nashiu has always served as Gao Lingze's strategist. His ability to subtly shift his words at crucial moments always gets to the heart of the matter. With the easygoing Gao Lingze leading the charge, Tang Nashiu is better able to analyze and formulate countermeasures.

Their goal today is complex, yet also simple.

The complexity lies in the seemingly cumbersome details, while the simplicity lies in the ultimate goal of truly bringing Lin Wu into their small group.

The Lin family, a financial family, possesses astonishing wealth, yet they have always intentionally or unintentionally remained outside of various circles. Coincidentally, the Lin family also has hidden support within the Two Houses of Parliament of the Capital Star.

Therefore, coercion and bribery were completely ineffective, and each family used its own quiet methods to win over the Lin family.

What should have been the most effective marriage alliance was instead blocked by Lin Wu's inexplicable assignment of a fiancée, thus obstructing everyone's path.

From this perspective, Lin Wu seems to possess a mysterious perfection. Apart from his occasional womanizing, he spends almost all his time traveling between different planets.

Judging from this alone, it seems to be flawless.

So this time they tried a different approach to win over Lin Wu.

Fortunately, they were all childhood playmates, and they could still chat together quite often, which was their biggest advantage.

Lin Wu's last attempt to woo a girl coincided with theirs, which further strengthened their connection.

"Alright, so what's up this time? I've been really down lately because I haven't been able to pick up any girls."

Lin Wu spoke, but his face showed no other expression.

This made Tang Nashiu feel that Lin Wu was a tough nut to crack.

"Last time at the mecha exhibition hall, although our plan for them failed, we did get some strange information." Tang Nashiu smiled, he didn't believe Lin Wu wasn't interested.

This is probably one of Lin Wu's few failed attempts at seduction, and for such a proud and arrogant person, it is something he will never forget.

Sure enough, Lin Wu raised an eyebrow. "Oh, what information?"

"We bribed a special person and finally got hold of the leaked information. First, I'd like to ask if Young Master Wu is interested in entering the mecha field? If so, we can discuss it together." Tang Nashiu nodded calmly to Gao Lingze. At least for now, everything was still under their control.

Lin Wu listened without comment, then raised his head with a smile, "I never refuse anything that can make money."

"It's like this... The mech engine from Luoqi Heavy Industries has quite a history. According to our analysis, it's very likely a product of Ancient Ruins!" Tang Nashiu carefully chose his words and said cautiously, determined not to reveal any more information before receiving Lin Wu's promise.

Ancient Ruins!?

No one noticed the sudden contraction in Lin Wu's pupils, but he asked nonchalantly, "So what if it's Ancient Ruins?"

Tang Nashiu laughed heartily. It seemed that Lin Wu had already shown some interest, even though he didn't understand what Ancient Ruins meant. But that didn't stop him from proceeding to the next step in order.

"Ancient Ruins are just occasional, turbulent areas. You might find an Ancient Ruins in any random Meteorite Belt. Influenced by specific cosmic turbulence, you can often find extraterrestrial objects that transcend time and space. These objects either contain some unique power or possess technology that we cannot replicate to this day."

Lin Wu raised an eyebrow. "And then?"

"The engine of that Luoqi Heavy Industries mech is very likely from an unknown civilization! Currently, no Supergravity Engine have been found in actual use within the Federation!"

Tang Nashiu revealed his ultimate goal little by little—the engine that contained infinite possibilities!

If Wang Nuonuo or Mu Fan were here, they would definitely say the same thing in unison.

Meteorite No. 3!

P. S.: I recommend my friend Pang Dafu's masterpiece, "Hong Kong Dynasty". There are very few good novels about Hong Kong (HK) on Starting Point, and this is definitely one of the best!

Synopsis: After reading countless online rebirth novels, this story follows a dinosaur who transmigrates into the body of Diao Chan, and is reborn in Hong Kong.

If you want to see Hong Kong entertainment, beautiful women, money, and movies, then this is the place for you!
