Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 182 - 92 Finally, My Lord, You’ve Come Online (Congratulations to the Alliance Hierarch on 1 Billion Light-Years)

"Thanks for the generous 100,000 Star Coin tip from the capricious Alliance Hierarch ’Daring to Teach the Holy Saints to Bow Their Heads’ this afternoon! Eight extra chapters for the two Hierarchs, and now presenting the second update for the ’Ten Billion Light Years’ Hierarch! My hands are about to fall off..."

"Do you know?" Fat Brother looked at Mu Fan in surprise.

"I don’t know." Mu Fan answered honestly.

"Like this," Fat Brother continued, "as the sole heir to the Fowen family, Young Master here will soon depart from Purple Jade Star. Dad also plans to go to Blue Capital Star but doesn’t want to be restricted everywhere. So, he decided it’s time to broaden our business scope and increase our bargaining chips for negotiations with the Sherry Family."

Sherry?

The girl with a strong sense of justice and good looks, her smiling face blooming like a flower, suddenly filled Mu Fan’s mind. Wondering how she was doing now.

"So, this means your father wants to negotiate with your mother’s family; what does this have to do with Loki Heavy Industry? I’ve never heard of this company."

"You don’t know—in the edge of the Fourth Administrative District, the quality of the ore is better than in other regions. Loki Heavy Industry is based on Purple Jade Star and is now the largest supplier of special materials and Reactive Armor in the Fourth Administrative District. Many Mecha, warships, and other military equipment bear the mark of Loki Heavy Industry. They have a big project underway and it so happens that our Fowen Consortium can get involved. We can’t miss this great opportunity!"

Mu Fan was confused, but he knew that Fat Brother’s family business didn’t seem related to any ores, armor, or military equipment, so he asked out of curiosity, "That... How does your family’s business...?"

"How could it be connected to Loki Heavy Industry, right?" Fat Brother downed another glass of water, burped contentedly, and went on, "Of course, we can’t be part of Loki Heavy Industry’s big project, but their subsidiary projects are huge business for the Fowen Consortium!"

"What kind of big business?"

"Packing boxes!" Fat Brother said dreamily, "Imagine all of Loki Heavy Industry’s products transported using Fowen Consortium’s packing boxes this year. That would be a huge deal."

Alright, still couldn’t understand. Business matters were beyond Mu Fan’s comprehension, but he didn’t ask any further, seeing Fat Brother’s face lost in reverie.

In any case, it seemed like a happy occasion!

"Well, it seems I don’t need to tag along for that. After all, it’s a legitimate business." Mu Fan considered from Fat Brother’s perspective.

"It’s not a formal negotiation, just kind of a banquet. We’ll eat and chat. We just happen to have three spots, and my father suggested inviting you."

Mr. Wayne’s proposal? A touch of gratitude flashed in Mu Fan’s eyes.

The kindness the Harry father and son had shown him was far beyond ordinary human relations.

So Mu Fan decided he would go, rubbing his nose sheepishly, "Uh, that is, is the food going to be better than what I had at your house?"

Fat Brother flopped forward, pointing to the ceiling.

"Five-star Maple Leaf Hotel on Purple Jade Star, a true noble’s hotel. It’s two notches above the dining standards at Fowen Manor. Rest assured, eat to your heart’s content!"

"Great! I won’t disrupt your business talks." With a radiant smile on his face, Mu Fan was extremely satisfied with Fat Brother’s reply.

It meant saving money on a lavish meal!

"Let’s go then. Tomorrow’s luncheon, we need to enter before 11 a.m. I’ve booked a room for you; you should go back and rest tonight."

Tossing over an access card carelessly, Fat Brother took Mu Fan out of the hall.

As for the three ladies who had scrambled out just now, they hadn’t paid them any mind.

"I’m so angry, so angry!" A curly-haired beauty fumed as she paced.

"Rongrong, slow down, where are you heading to?" Her two winded companions asked from behind.

"Shopping, of course! I need to buy a dress, shoes—there’s a banquet at the Maple Leaf Hotel tomorrow, and it’s quite upscale." Xiao Rongrong snapped back, her companions having dared to mock her earlier, and now that little boy had put her on the spot, it was embarrassing.

"Can we come with you?" The two companions’ eyes twinkled at the mention.

A banquet that even Xiao Rongrong claimed was high-class would undoubtedly have many important figures present.

"No, you can’t come. I’m riding on my uncle’s coattails; he gave me a flexible invitation for tomorrow. I need to socialize on his behalf." Xiao Rongrong didn’t look back as she responded.

Hmph, even if I could go, I wouldn’t take you with me.

Women’s thoughts are truly the world’s most mysterious.

Finally reaching the luxury store closest to the Maple Leaf Hotel, Xiao Rongrong stepped in with an elegant stride.

...

After bidding Fat Brother farewell, Mu Fan swiped the card and entered his room.

Next to each other, the two rooms featured a perfect blend of wood and textile design, giving the interior decoration a tasteful look. Located on the thirty-fourth floor, Mu Fan could enjoy an unobstructed view of the central city district.

I really am short on cash!

Mu Fan sighed as he stood behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Because right behind him was a table full of gourmet food that even Fat Brother found heart-wrenching—a six-person meal worth a whopping 40,000 Star Coins.

But Fat Brother had simply swept his hand and said it was a celebration for Mu Fan, so he half-heartedly accepted.

Twenty minutes later, Mu Fan was lying on the soft big bed, belching and looking bewildered.

It had been several days, and finally, he had eaten to his heart’s content!

Now that it was evening, Mu Fan’s tense nerves finally began to relax on the comfortable big bed.

There was still some time before bedtime, so he decided to check out the Battle Net first.

As soon as Mu Fan donned the Light Computer helmet, the chilly laughter of Lord Black finally rang in his ears.

"Young man, your voicemail box is full."

Lord Black, who had patiently waited until now, finally struck with sharp timing.

Huh?

Mu Fan went online, and his character, dressed in flashy underwear and a vest, once again stood in the newbie dueling arena.

Ignoring the bustling crowd around him, Mu Fan turned on the personal shield mode and opened the voicemail.

A crisp voice came through—it was the little chubby girl.

"Egg Lord, how did your exam go today? You don’t know, I went to a super bloody Fighting match and just couldn’t stand it."

"Lord! It’s the second day already, why haven’t you taken me to shoot yet? My Begonia Corps is so restless and eager."

"Big Egg Man! It’s the second afternoon, aren’t you trying to shirk? It’s rare for this lady to wait so patiently for you!"

"Stupid, bulky... It’s the third day, and yesterday I was terribly beaten up, plus a lot of people, who I don’t recognize, came up and cursed at me. Health Beauty Mean Wench, such a nasty name, 55555~~"

...

He scrolled through more than ten messages, all from the little chubby girl, which amused Mu Fan.

His friends from Battle Net actually cared about his exam results, which moved him, but he probably guessed she had been losing badly these past two days.

What’s this "Health Beauty Mean Wench" about?

Lord Black’s spherical carrier flew out, shook a couple of times, and then spoke in a rare formal tone, "Looking at your expression, my Lord knows you’re questioning something? You might not know about the fame you two now have in the Battle Net forums..."

"Don’t thank me; it’s what I should do."

With a swish, he disappeared.

Leaving Mu Fan absolutely clueless.

What’s up with Black?

With a beep, Mu Fan saw a new message notification.

"Eh, Lord, you’re actually online?"

Beep, another sound.

"Egg Lord, you’ve finally logged on! I’ve been starving these past two days! Quickly come and talk to me."

Your friend "Beautiful Girl Nuonuo" invites you to join the cross-region team mode (expenses paid by the other party), do you accept?

Yes, Mu Fan confirmed.
