The Seventh Base

Chapter 477: Chapter 82: A Turning Point in History_2

Tan Taiming had been impressed with Zero standing next to Ye Xi.

Initially, if Zero hadn’t piloted an S-level monster to drive away the monsters in Steel Dome City, the monster swarm would have caused unimaginable destruction.

When Zero saw Tan Taiming looking towards her, she blinked, unsure of what title to use at the moment.

“Zero, since Xu Mo used to call your teacher ‘teacher,’ you can call his teacher ‘teacher’ too,” Ye Xi said from the side.

“Uh…” Xu Mo showed an awkward expression. The elder beside him gave him a look, and Xu Mo could only play dead.

“Teacher.”

Zero didn’t know much, so she sincerely called out.

Calling Xu Mo’s teacher ‘teacher’ should be correct, right?

“Ah!” Elder Tantai replied with a smile, looking kindly at Zero, “Xu Mo hasn’t bullied you, has he?”

Zero remembered the Memory Crystal Xu Mo had given her, rolled her eyes, looked at Xu Mo, and then said, “Yes!”

Xu Mo: “…”

“How did he bully you? I’ll stand up for you,” Tan Taiming said.

“Two gifts, the same, mixed up,” Zero said.

Tan Taiming understood Zero’s words, then paused for a moment, looking towards Xu Mo.

Ye Xi did the same. She and Xu Mo had stayed on the warship, seemingly knowing what Zero was referring to.

Playing both sides?

Xu Mo felt like dying of embarrassment.

“There’s more,” Zero added.

“…” Xu Mo looked at Zero and whispered, “Female demon, the teacher was just asking casually. Don’t take it so seriously.”

Zero looked at Xu Mo, then at Tan Taiming.

“Ignore him. I’m serious,” Tan Taiming said.

“My mom asked him to come over for dinner when he’s free, and he said he’d wait until my mom wasn’t home,” Zero explained. Why wait until her mom wasn’t home?

Seeing the expressions of Tan Taiming and Ye Xi, Xu Mo wanted to die.

“You little rascal…” Elder Tantai’s palm flew towards Xu Mo’s head, and Xu Mo, clutching his head, didn’t dare to retaliate…

Watching this scene, the usually quiet Zero showed a slight smile in her eyes, seemingly a bit mischievous.

“If there’s a need, I’ll go with you,” the elder said.

“Uh!” Xu Mo’s eyes shifted, his teacher accompanying him, what did that mean?

Meeting the parents?

“Go together for a meal?” Zero’s clear eyes looked towards the elder.

“Yes, go together for a meal,” the elder replied with a smile, “This girl, isn’t she a bit silly? But, it’s quite nice.”

Zero’s eyes shifted, seemingly hesitating.

“What, you don’t want to?” the elder asked, seeing Zero’s expression.

Zero shook her head and softly said, “Then, should we practice first? The food at home isn’t very tasty.”

The elder paused for a moment, then laughed.

Ye Xi laughed as well.

“Definitely.” Xu Mo looked at Zero seriously and nodded, only to be slapped again by the elder, which made Xu Mo wonder, who was the student here?

…

Xu Mo was cultivating at the Divine Sword Bureau, but the situation outside was exceptionally tense.

The tensions between the aliens and the Federation Government grew more intense, continuously pressuring the Federation Government.

Meanwhile, the Federation Government was also pressuring the Divine Sword Bureau. Knowing that they could not take Xu Mo away, they then demanded to send someone into the Divine Sword Bureau. They had received news that the Divine Sword Bureau was urgently assembling a powerful scientific research team. The Federation Government was extremely dissatisfied with this, as the Divine Sword Bureau was conducting research independently without involving the Federation Government.

At the same time, Stark Group was also working overtime. As a leading technology group, Stark Group always had a top team. The group pursued profits, which required continuous breakthroughs in technology to develop better products.

But even so, this time it was still not enough.

Xu Mo received a communication from Stark Hao.

“How is the progress?” Xu Mo asked.

“Unclear. Dad has tight information lockdown, and he’s in closed-door research. Even I can’t find out the exact process,” Stark Hao said. “However, the equipment you brought is groundbreaking. Dad says that if we can achieve a technical breakthrough this time, Byron Star’s overall weaponry equipment will make a leap forward and perhaps we might even be able to compete with alien civilizations like those from Lancelot Star.”

“Not to mention the Mecha and the Energy Balls you brought, even the equipment you provided for Sister Ye and the others contains small Energy Reactors with extremely terrifying destructive power. If used in war, breaking through the Mechanical Bodies of Lancelot Star people wouldn’t be a problem,” Stark Hao said.

“Hmm,” Xu Mo nodded and asked, “Do you have any ideas?”

“Ideas?” Stark Hao asked, puzzled.

“Increase the payment!” Xu Mo said.

“…” Stark Hao replied with disdain, “Can money really measure this? If this brings a technological breakthrough, you’ll be the savior of Byron Star.”

“I still prefer money,” said Xu Mo, “Don’t waste time on useless talk.”

“You have no sense of honor. I look down on you!” Stark Hao said. “I’m thinking about one thing.”

“What?” Xu Mo asked.

“How could someone like you hand over all the good stuff? Be honest, have you hidden something else inside the warship?” Stark Hao seriously doubted.

“Get lost!” Xu Mo hung up the communicator.

Seeing Xu Mo hang up, Stark Hao grew even more suspicious. Was this kid feeling guilty about something?

He must have hidden some treasures.

He wouldn’t have gotten hold of the Super Energy Body, would he?

Otherwise, how could Xu Mo have survived?

The more Stark Hao thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.

Xu Mo never expected that the person who understood him best would be Stark Hao…

However, the Divine Sword Bureau did not suspect anything else, because Ye Xi was also there.

Ye Xi was with him, they couldn’t both be hiding something together.

But this matter was too important, Xu Mo couldn’t possibly reveal it. Since he returned, Lancelot Star had been restless, and the Federation Government here had also been wanting someone. If the outside world knew that he had control over a warship, what would happen? No one knew.

However, he would definitely become the target of many.

While Xu Mo was cultivating at the Divine Sword Bureau.

A major incident occurred in Chuanxing City.

That day, a group of protestors stormed into the Lancelot Star’s leased district. The armed forces of Lancelot Star opened fire, killing the civilians who breached the leased area, and even those outside were caught in the gunfire, leading to heavy casualties and deaths.

The people of Chuanxing City, upon seeing this scene on the screens, were stirred dramatically. Countless people spontaneously gathered at the Lancelot Star’s leased district, some even armed themselves. At the same time, the citizens demanded that the government deploy armed forces immediately and arrest all Lancelot Star people.

A single stone can stir up a thousand waves, this vicious incident greatly agitated the people of Chuanxing City. In their own capital on Byron Star, aliens dared to raise their weapons and commit slaughter on their land, which was absurd.

The Chuanxing City Government and the Federation Government were informed immediately.

In the City Government office, Mayor Liu Feng looked at the screen, his eyes bloodshot, knowing that an era had ended.

The honeymoon period between Byron Star and the aliens was completely over. He did not know what the future held or where Byron Star would head.

But those who orchestrated this event and the Lancelot Star people who opened fire, they all deserved to die. However, who would judge them?

The history of Byron Star might turn at this very moment!
