“Actually, it’s very simple. The reason everyone is willing to respect and trust me from the bottom of their hearts isn't entirely because of strength, but more because of what I've done.”

Icarolfa said to Icarolya with a smile.

"What have you done?"

Icarolya couldn't help but fall into thought.

Icarolfa kept adding some dead branches to the bonfire. He didn't say much, just quietly let Icarolya think.

Some things she can only figure out for herself. No matter how much others advise, it's useless.

After a long time, Icarolya broke the silence and said to Icarolfa,

"Thank you, Father, for your guidance."

"Haha, we're all family, no need to be so formal. Actually, your mother is also just worried about you and cares about you. She lost her sense of propriety a little, so don't blame her."

"I know."

"Also, you don't need to pay too much attention to what she said. The world is so big, you can pursue whatever dreams you want. I will always support you."

Icarolfa said to Icarolya with a bright smile.

Hearing Icarolfa's words, Icarolya couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

...

New World Era, Year 112.

Universe Alliance Government, Top Secret Archives.

Icarolya put a broken stone slab back in its place.

Her eyes kept changing, revealing a hint of gloom between her brows.

Soon, Icarolya's expression returned to normal, and she couldn't see a trace of strangeness. Then, she left the archives directly.

After a long time, Icarolya appeared outside a white, shell-shaped building in the center of God's Creation City.

The defense force in the entire area was very strict. Six pure mechanical V-generation mechs, Anwei (Dark Guards), stood straight on both sides of the gate, and special wave-guide spheres floated in the sky.

Huge mechanical eyes kept turning, identifying everyone who approached.

Soon they locked onto Icarolya, who was walking straight over, and a prompt popped up on the internal image screen.

"Security personnel, alert canceled!"

At this time, the on-site guards, upon seeing Icarolya, saluted and made way for her.

Icarolya walked into the building expressionlessly!

A neat, clean, and futuristic hall came into view. Various virtual images of research and development products floated on each small booth in the hall.

Looking closely, these presented products not only involved weapons, communications, civilian use, and medical treatment, but also basically were not available on the market.

Each of these things, if they were to enter the market, would be enough to shock and drive every country crazy.

"Welcome to Heros Technology Group. Do you have an appointment?"

A very beautiful female android in a black uniform walked up to greet her.

"No."

Icarolya replied calmly.

Just as the female android was about to say something else, a cold voice sounded.

"Aline, step back."

"Yes."

Aline respectfully stepped aside and replied at the same time.

Icarolya followed the voice and looked up. A middle-aged man with glasses, a gloomy expression, and a white lab coat was walking over.

"Uncle Terrence!"

Icarolya saluted him.

"Well, it's rare to see you here. Did Icarolfa send you?"

Terrence asked indifferently.

"No, I wanted to come here myself. I wanted to take a look."

Icarolya shook her head and replied.

"Come with me, I'll take you on a tour of the Heros Technology Group's interior. There's nothing to see outside."

Terrence put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the interior expressionlessly.

Icarolya followed beside him.

Along the way, researchers and staff respectfully made way, stepping aside.

Terrence took Icarolya unimpeded to the core area inside Heros Technology Group. The soldiers in charge of guarding opened the entrance.

The two took a special elevator and descended continuously.

Icarolya didn't say a word of nonsense the whole time, just followed quietly. And Terrence didn't like to talk either, making the whole atmosphere very quiet and strange.

Before long, Terrence brought Icarolya to an openwork observation deck.

Standing on the observation deck, looking down, all that could be seen were various forbidden weapons.

Not to mention anything else, there were seven top-level VI-generation biological mechs parked here, each with a different shape and able to adapt to various combat environments. Although none of them were activated, they all exuded an extremely terrifying aura, making people feel suffocated.

In addition to the VI-generation biological mechs, there were also a large number of Future Messengers, as well as the Cosmic Federation government's newly developed pure mechanical VI-generation mech, Order Messenger. As for the V-generation series of mechs, there were even more varieties, dazzling the eyes.

In addition to the mech series, there were also various new and terrifying weapons that Icarolya had never seen before.

Terrence looked at the many weapons on display below and proudly introduced them to Icarolya.

"These are the weapons I've been involved in developing in recent years. The middle section is the mech series, the left side is various models of special main guns and missiles, which contain miniaturized weapons such as Collapse Heart, and the ones on the right are special devices, such as SOD-type Shadow series ship stealth devices, etc. Each of these things has its unique purpose, and its performance is beyond doubt."

Icarolya nodded slightly. She kept staring at these weapons and devices, watching them repeatedly.

"It's rare for you to come here, what weapon do you want? I'll give you one."

Terrence said indifferently.

However, to Terrence's surprise, Icarolya shook her head and replied.

"These weapons are not what I want."

"What, are these weapons not strong enough?"

Terrence turned to look at Icarolya and asked thoughtfully.

"No, these weapons are strong enough. But they're not what I want, because their power is fixed."

Icarolya responded very firmly.

"Then what do you want?"

Terrence seemed to be a little interested, and he continued to ask.

"What I want is something that can be extended and upgraded, preferably the older the better!"

Icarolya told Terrence roughly.

After listening to Icarolya's words, a hint of surprise appeared in Terrence's cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Interesting, I didn't expect you to have such great ambition, but I like it. You're much stronger than your father in this respect."

Icarolya was also slightly stunned. From the moment she was born, the people around her had always praised her father, and no one had ever said that. She couldn't help but fall silent.

Terrence then said to Icarolya.

"Although your request is relatively harsh, this is Heros Technology Group. There's always something that will satisfy you. I'll take you to a place where there are many interesting things and old objects."

"Okay!"

Icarolya replied immediately.

"Let's go!"

Terrence then took Icarolya towards the elevator.
