Chapter 215: Chapter 124: The Little Cultivator and the Commander

"Actually, cough, it’s about Wang Zheng."

Fu Jian’s voice became much calmer:

"I might have deceived him a bit before, though it was a well-intentioned deception, to reduce the potential barriers in communication.

"Now, Zheng De, what do you think your grandfather should do to naturally transition and talk to him as an equal and become quite a good friend?

"Honestly, I quite like being with this young man. He always gives me the illusion of being more mature than me. It must be an illusion, and he has a tremendous treasure trove within him. We must forge a good relationship with him, both publicly and privately."

Zhou Zhengde:...

Isn’t this Wang Zheng going way beyond his years?

"Grandpa, what exactly do you mean? I’m a bit confused."

Fu Jian replied indifferently, "Previously, to study him directly, I disguised myself as Lao Hei and protected him for a while, making many astonishing discoveries and confirming that the absurd possibility you mentioned might indeed be real."

"Which absurd possibility?"

"We generally believe that the Blade Beasts are an alien civilization that arrived on our planet in a manner not yet understood by us."

Fu Jian said solemnly:

"Wang Zheng, originally named Mu Liang, witnessed a sky full of twinkling stars during an act of desperation.

"Then he received the complete civilization.

"This civilization is likely a resistance faction associated with the Blade Beast Civilization, hence it has various technological means targeted at the Blade Beasts.

"Now, I think this possibility is quite significant.

"Thus, we must gain his favor so that he confidently shares these alien technologies with the humans on our planet to collectively resist the Blade Beasts and allow human civilization to continue."

Zhou Zhengde scratched his head: "Grandpa, I understand all the reasons you’re giving, but you personally befriending Wang Zheng...

"Once my identity is exposed, I must return, otherwise, it would also be very awkward. Doesn’t an old man need face?"

Fu Jian chuckled:

"I intend, before I return, to leave a good impression on him.

"He doesn’t trust humans much... actually, putting myself in his shoes, I’d also have many concerns, especially since the Dominion Faction Spiritual Ability Users are continuously infiltrating us.

"So next, D5 must completely eliminate those spies."

Zhou Zhengde asked, "Are we not going to fight them yet?"

"If I hadn’t seen Wang Zheng, we would already be fighting, otherwise human civilization would just be slowly dying."

Fu Jian said cheerfully:

"But now, this old man wants to hold out for a few more years.

"His spiritual energy can continuously grow, do you understand what that means? He can grow, using spiritual energy to constantly become stronger.

"Next, those old things in Spiritual Ability City have reason to be worried. We must suppress the specific details of Mo Feng’s death without reporting them. Any details leaked would throw Spiritual Ability City into panic. Then they would frantically investigate what technology killed Mo Feng.

"What we need to do now is create a hype, making them think we are aiming for military independence, but in reality, it’s just about buying time.

"Zheng De, remember, don’t underestimate them, but don’t overestimate them either. They are just paper tigers that are inherently afraid of death."

"Yes!" Zhou Zhengde responded earnestly.

Fu Jian pondered for a moment: "Back to the main point, my great-grandson, how should I express myself so that he doesn’t mind my previous deception? His strategic importance is too great... You’re his best friend, aren’t you?"

"One of the best friends, one of the best friends."

Zhou Zhengde humbly responded:

"Actually, the method is quite simple, but... Grandpa might find it difficult to do."

"What?"

"Just a simple apology about deceiving him will do; he won’t mind."

Fu Jian’s mechanical old face fell: "As the last hero of the Fortress Era, I’m supposed to apologise to a stinking kid still wet behind the ears?"

"See! I told you you couldn’t do it!" Zhou Zhengde noted, "His strategic significance is too important."

"Absolutely impossible! Don’t I need to save face? Hang up! You better get married and have children earlier to pass on the genes!"

Fu Jian glared at Zhou Zhengde and casually ended the communication.

...

Two hours later.

Fu Jian secretly returned to the temporary supply station, sitting in his sand-submerged supply vehicle, he closed the window and began handling various affairs.

The organized photos of Mo Feng’s corpse, under his direction, had already started circulating in the command systems of various war zones.

Incidentally, the old man also released news that parts of Mo Feng’s corpse were available for collection in every war zone to facilitate the reverse-engineering by Spiritual Ability Users.

The value of Mo Feng’s corpse went far beyond this.

Fu Jian was also planning to go to Spiritual Ability City to taunt them in person.

Over the past dozen years, he had accumulated a belly full of grievances, and now he could finally release them slightly.

"It’s a pity, I only took one arm of that guy Xing Dian."

Fu Jian was busy handling documents when the radar built into his mechanical body detected the figures of Wang Jixuan and Mu Dan returning to the temporary supply station in their war armor.

"Lingtong didn’t follow? Good..."

Fu Jian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The mouthy but loyal subordinate Mu Dan was still complaining:

"Commander, Mu Dan’s hand skin is damaged, maintenance can only be done after three days, and it’s going to look terrible for these three days."

Oh? Is that so?

Commander Fu Jian, using his dark gray mechanical middle finger, pushed up the nonexistent glasses on his nose bridge, opened the military application management software, and searched for applications related to R99. He soon found the maintenance application sent by Mu Dan to the logistics department of the front-line General Command Center’s Special Armor Science division.
