At first, the marshal was not quite in favor, thinking that even if he gave it to Lia, she might not be able to use it. But now, after sensing Lia's Spiritual Power, he felt that giving her the mecha was not an unreasonable thing to do.

The New Moon is the creation of mecha engineer Klein. It is a legendary S-class mecha, and among all known interstellar mechas, very few people possess S-class Spiritual Power and can successfully pilot an S-class mecha. Even the top students at the War Academy can only pilot A-class mechas at most.

Lia only just discovered that her mother-in-law is actually a famous mecha maker!

Because mechs require more than just Spiritual Power; physical fitness is also essential, as is the talent to pilot one. Just being able to fly one doesn't mean you know how to fly one; you also need to obtain a mech pilot's license.

Looking at the stars in my wife's eyes, and remembering the two agricultural stars I gave her last night, I suddenly felt a little overshadowed.

While Lia was happy, she also noticed Quinn's sudden drop in mood.

He reached out and patted his head. "I really like the one you gave me last night..."

Quinn continued in a coquettish tone, "Wife..."

marshal. "..."

Klein: "..."

The couple couldn't bear to look at the clingy young lovers in front of them! They simply couldn't stand it!

"Cough cough cough!" The Marshal's sudden cough interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Quinn gave a displeased snort.

Realizing she had embarrassed herself in front of her elders, Lia's ears turned red. "Mom and Dad, I also have a gift for you."

The two elders were surprised to receive a gift themselves, and their excitement grew even more.

Klein: "Oh, what is our little Lia going to give her mother?"

Lia took out a book on women's clothing and a book on clothing making, which contained many patterns. He thought they looked very nice, and he had also heard that his mother was a great beauty.

"These are family heirloom books, and they're in fairly good condition. They have different types of outfit ideas in them. Take a look and see if you like them. If not, I can give you another gift."

Quinn, standing to the side, was about to cry. Lia hadn't given him a gift yet!

Quinn and the Marshal, secretly jealous, could only watch quietly.

Klein surprise, but as soon as she opened it, her eyes lit up as if she had seen some priceless treasure.

" Lia, you're such a cutie! The legend that the hamster family is the richest is definitely true. If you take these designs out and make money, you could become the richest person in a day!" Klein was overjoyed.

Lia lowered her head somewhat shyly. "These two books are for you. As for whether to publish them, that's entirely up to you. I won't ask for any patent fees."

Klein hearing this. He knew his son was also very wealthy, but he hadn't expected that even a casual item his daughter-in-law owned would be of supreme value.

"Honey, since that's the case, how about we donate the royalties from these clothes in your name after they're put on the shelves?"

Lia paused, then slowly nodded. "If possible, let's use this money to establish a fashion design college. More jobs will create income for people..."

Klein increasingly fond of the little guy; he was simply a little angel.

"Mom, you have such a great figure, you're practically a walking clothes hanger. I'm sure you'd look amazing in this outfit in social circles, they'd all be so envious. Also, you don't need to wear styles that are too different from the space-themed look, you have to take it slow..."

Upon hearing this, the marshal's eyes welled up with tears. This child, so young, spoke with such maturity and composure, just like A-Xiao. He always planned ten steps ahead before doing anything.

After Klein and Lia discussed for a while, it was time for their father to speak.

Lia took a sip of water, sighed, and then took out a thick stack of newly printed books, placing them in front of her father.

"Dad, it contains ' The Art of War,' ' On Strategy,' and ' Stratagems '... I thought they would be useful to you, so I translated them in advance."

Upon hearing this, the air fell silent instantly. Not only the marshal, but also the other two rubbed their eyes.

Quinn: "Honey, you're just giving it to him like that, it's such a rip-off! We have to negotiate with him!"

Lia was somewhat amused and exasperated. "I already said, this is a gift, you don't need to repay me with anything. These useful things are of no use to me."

The marshal's hand trembled, and he swallowed hard. "Really? This is a book that has been lost for thousands of years. You're really willing to give it to me?"

Lia nodded slowly. "Well, it's not a big deal. I think you need it, Dad. You work so hard protecting the people. I heard about your many glorious battles when I was on the Edge Star. I admire you very much."

The marshal's heart melted at that moment, and a hint of pride crept onto his face. He gave a knowing look. "Son, did you hear that? I'm the person your daughter-in-law admires the most!"

" Emilia, from now on, Daddy's got your back. If that A-Xiao, I'll be the first to break his legs!"

Quinn: "..."

Klein, the mother, finally recovered from her shock. "My dear, you're so brave! It's so unlike your animalistic nature. Aren't you afraid we might be bad people?"

Lia shook her head and looked at the three of them from side to side. "If you are all bad people, then there are no good people in the world."

Quinn clutched his pounding heart; he felt like it was about to run away from home.

Lia trusted him unconditionally, and not only did he produce something that terrified capitalists across the entire galaxy, but she also spoke with such composure.

He gently pulled her into his arms. "Wife, you're much more reliable than me."

Lia smiled brightly and said gently, "In short, it's best to let them shine in their respective roles."

Actually, there are also recipes. I plan to have you promote machine-grown plants after the first batch, which will help reduce your workload.

This can divert the beastmen's attention and gain their widespread support; even if the tamers eventually protest in the streets, it won't affect your plans.

Fortunately, Quinn booked the entire restaurant today, otherwise every word Lia might have become headline news.

Lia could understand why her mother's clan had passed these things down from generation to generation without handing them over. They knew that if they were exposed and they didn't have the strength to protect these things, it would be futile and would even lead to their deaths.

He has Quinn now, and he believes Quinn will protect him for life, but if he is betrayed, it's his own fault, and he won't regret it.

My only worry is that good things will be exploited by bad people.

But if it were the Quinn family, he wouldn't be afraid and would like to give it a try.

In fact, his things were not only hidden in the spatial lock, but also in a tattered shoe. The shoe was also a treasure lock, and only members of the Emilia Family could open it.

Lia recalled the winding treasure path and truly admired her family's orcs for their skill in hiding things. Even if they lost their shoes, they could still sense their location.

Lia alone managed to arrange Baibai perfectly for the three of them.

Even the marshal's dignity was gone; now he looked at his daughter-in-law like a teacher. Klein was getting impatient; she loved the clothes in the book and was already thinking about what to wear to the ladies at the next tea party.

And the dishes were finally about to be served.

Lia looked at Quinn's innocent, expectant expression and almost couldn't suppress a smile.

He wouldn't have known if he hadn't ordered takeout from this restaurant a few days ago; he just wanted to know how expressive Quinn's face would be in a moment.
