He looked up, looking at Chu Rong’s relaxed and gentle appearance with a daze. He arched into his arms, and hugged him tightly — fortunately, this man survived and got better and better.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Rong immediately hugged him, touched the back of his head, and asked, “Did you sleep well?”
“No.” He shook his head, tilted his head and put his ears against his chest to listen to his heartbeat, and said seriously, “Chu Rong, you’re right, manually-piloted mecha is necessary. It’s imperative to produce for the masses..”
Humans are evolving, but the enemy is also evolving. It’s not enough for humans to rely on their current tech to fight against them. If.. if that time the Chu family had a manually-piloted mechas and could use them skillfully, of course, the results of the war might not be so bad.
Yes, the Zerg is really gone now, but who can guarantee that there will not be a second coming of Zerg in the future?
Even if Zergs aren’t in the equation, there’s still the rampant conspiracy among humans. When human beings want to hurt someone else, even the stupid people know that it is better to start wrecking their opponent’s spiritual power first, just like the attack that Chu Rong faced as a teen back then…
He thought it was too simple before. Chu Rong was thinking about longer-term things, which is an important thing to pay attention to.
“I will help you.” He added, feeling stronger than ever before, promising, “I will help you to completely improve the manually-piloted mecha and promote its popularity.” Of course, he would do it without harming the alien beasts as a population.
Chu Rong heard his declaration, and wordlessly touched his nape, bowed his head, then kissed his eyes; all in silent thanks.
Qiao Zhiya got spirited, and immediately after breakfast, he wanted to continue his research in the laboratory. Chu Rong saw all of this with a dark expression, and successfully dragged him into a hover car and drove out.

“Where are we going?” Qiao Zhiya wondered, holding the electronic book in his hands, a little unwilling. “I was going to continue my…”
–he was going to make the mecha in the Star Network into reality.

Chu Rong frowned, took his e-book, pushed up his bangs, and said, “Go to the exhibition area, there is an event in the Celebration Plaza today.”
Qiao Zhiya was stunned, and then he remembered that the festival was still under way. He looked at him embarrassedly, then secretly hid his e-book into his storage ring.
Chu Rong pretended that he didn’t see his sneaky movements. He hugged him and pinched his ears. He said, “The Stone Grass medicine will be distributed today. Because of the Ning family’s targeting, the creator’s identity is hidden. Remember not to tip them off. The distribution of this medicine is only the first step. The rectification of the pharmaceutical industry must also be carried out with the help of the Gu family. In short, you should pay more attention to this time, keep a distance from the Ning family, and don’t let them discover anything.”
The Gu family is Gu Yanan’s natal family, who has been engaged in basic medicine business since a long time ago. It has always been relatively low-key. Their development focus is outside of the Capital Planet, avoiding key areas of the Ning family’s influence.
Qiao Zhiya understood that the Chu family was about to make a big move, and nodded obediently, indicating that he remembered his orders.
This city’s festival celebration plaza is not special, it’s just a general name for such a plaza. Chu Rong refers to the main plaza, which is a large area in the center of the largest and most prosperous area of the whole planet. The main branch of the Four Great Families and the Presidential Palace’s exhibition areas are here.
The place is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, and is connected by an escalator that surrounds the plaza. There are also some artificial floating islands floating above it. Each island has different entertainment facilities, and all connected by cloud-like bridges. The bottom of the island and the cloud bridge are painted with different patterns. From the bottom to the top, it looks like a beautiful big balloon connected by ribbons, majestic and festive.

The main exhibition area is located on the third floor, all sectioned in different areas. The public can use their communicator to enter for free. Everyone can take a pot of medicinal plants back before leaving, making it a freebie.

Qiao Zhiya listened to Chu Rong’s general introduction. After getting out of the car, he looked up at the “big balloons” above his head and asked, “The third floor is the exhibition area. What about the second floor? Is it also the exhibition area?”
“No, it’s a leisure area, there are all kinds of entertainment facilities, all of which are open to the public for free. If you want to play, I will accompany you around.” Chu Rong explained, holding his hand and taking him towards the plaza. “Don’t run around now. There are many people and it’s easy to get separated.”
Qiao Zhiya looked around at the landing site where few people were present, and he was puzzled by the words “many people” in his mouth. Soon, he saw what was called “many people.”
After passing through the passage, the sight of the plaza spread out in front of him – countless small houses and plants stretched to the end of the line of sight, among which were dotted by countless people. The noise of the crowd came along with the brisk music in the square, full of celebratory atmosphere that put a smile on his face.
A child ran by holding a plant-shaped balloon. When Qiao Zhiya and Chu Rong came out of the passage, he turned around curiously, and the young mother who followed the child also followed, and was shocked after seeing Qiao Zhiya.
“Qiao–”
Chu Rong immediately stepped forward and blocked Qiao Zhiya behind him, glancing at the young mother sharply.
Then the young mother’s eyes widened, covering her mouth and staring at him wordlessly. Chu Rong’s face turned black, and he promptly took Qiao Zhiya to the sightseeing elevator by the aisle.

Outside the elevator, the young mother finally squealed. This led the security patrol to think that there was an emergency accident and ran over.
Qiao Zhiya’s ear twitched as he pulled Chu Rong’s hand gently, asking, “Are we going to cover our faces?”

Chu Rong frowned, then he tightened his grip on Qiao Zhiya’s hand and replied, “No need. Let’s wait for the event to begin. No one will be able to pay attention to us then.”
Qiao Zhiya nodded indifferently, and his attention was quickly taken away by the lively scene outside the elevator.
The exhibition area on the third floor of the plaza is not open yet, and it’s cordoned to the public, so it’s pretty empty. But for the sake of insurance, Chu Rong took Qiao Zhiya from the special passage to the Chu family exhibition area, and found Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu who were being dragged by Zhuang Yu for free physical labor.
“Qiao, you are finally here.”
Chu Yan couldn’t help but yell out, busy pulling Yuan Xiu to stand up, and said, “I’ll leave this place to you and Erge, Yuan Xiu and I will go down to play.” After saying that, he pulled Yuan Xiu and ran away, completely not giving Chu Rong a chance to stop him.
“They really can’t sit still.” Zhuang Yu muttered amusedly, sorted out the freshly placed grass, greeted Chu Rong and Qiao Zhiya, and said, “All are ready, but I have a… bad news here.”
Chu Rong first set Qiao Zhiya aside and sat down, then asked, “What’s the news?”

“The Ning family seems to be preparing to launch a new drug while taking advantage of this event.” Zhuang Yu said what she found in the morning, adding in detail, “I smelled a little bit of the drug when I passed the Ning family exhibition area before. It’s a bit special, I have never smelled it before. Then I went to the manager of the exhibition area to check it a bit, and found that the Ning family suddenly shipped a large number of medicine boxes on the record.”
It wasn’t filed until this morning. This means that this batch of drugs was either a temporary decision to launch in a hurry, or it was intentionally done so in order to catch a few other competitors off-guard.
However, this year’s festival theme was something that the Ning family won. They have no need to launch a surprise attack, so this could only mean that this move was a “counterattack” they use to suppress the Chu family’s new drug release. It’s a targeted move.
The Chu family’s actions in preparing to launch the Stone Grass medicine isn’t a tightly-guarded secret. Those who are interested can speculate with a little effort.
Sitting next to Qiao Zhiya, Chu Rong heard and thought for a while, then asked back, “Can you find out what type of medicine the Ning family launched this time?”
Zhuang Yu knew that he was going to ask this, pointed at her nose and nodded. “If my sense of smell didn’t lie to me, then Ning’s new potion should use withered grass. It has a calming, meditative property, so the new drug that the Ning family launched should be for spiritual power soothing.”
Qiao Zhiya, who had been quietly listening to them, frowned.
Withered grass, he knows that it is a poisonous herb with very tenacious vitality. It does have the effect of meditative calmness, but this effect is more like a short-term stimulus after usage. After the effect of the medicine disappears, it can make the brain feel “foggy”, with other side-effects.

Of course, it still can be used as a medicine. However, the cost to isolate it from its toxic compounds is great. Now that there are milder and better-made soothing medicines on the market, why would the Ning family launch such a drug in a saturated market? Aren’t they afraid of losing money?
He looked up, looking at Chu Rong’s relaxed and gentle appearance with a daze. He arched into his arms, and hugged him tightly — fortunately, this man survived and got better and better.
