After the car had gone far, Philip put a hood over the boss’ head and walked to Jack and Jess’ house. “Philip, you’re back!” Jack opened the door for Philip before he turned and called out to Jess, “Jess, I told you Philip will be able to help!” The siblings led Philip into the house, only to find a man with a cloth bag over his head following behind him. “Who’s this?” Jess asked. “Don't worry about it. Is there someone more influential in this area?” Philip asked. “Yes, of course!” Jack replied quickly. Seeing that Jack was about to blurt out the man's name, Philip put his hand over his mouth. “Shush.” He glanced at the person wriggling to and fro beside him. Jack understood instantly, and Philip said, “Take me to him.” On the way, Philip took off the boss' communicator. To prevent the GPS function, Philip turned it off and put it into his space ring. Jack took Philip to an old house at the end of the village that looked fortified with defense equipment. He p
Before leaving, Philip came to the dimly lit room and said to the boss sitting in the corner, “As long as you cooperate, you’ll be fine.” After a few more reminders, Jack and Philip returned home. It was getting late. Philip called the siblings to the only table, took out a photo of their family of four, and handed it to Jess. Jess was stunned for a while before she burst into tears with the photo in both hands. Jack stepped forward to comfort his sister and also saw the photo. Although Jack was young, he understood the significance of finding this photo, so he burst into tears too. The siblings hugged each other and sobbed bitterly. Philip looked at the two who only had each other to depend on for the rest of their lives and did not know how to comfort them for a while, so he just watched and waited for them to calm down. Jess stopped crying first and asked Philip with red eyes, “Did you find the remains of my parents?” As she spoke, she sobbed again. Philip nodded. Af
Then, he said seriously, “If you want to repay your benefactor with this method, it’ll only cheapen you and your benefactor at the same time.” The girl lowered her head and did not speak for a long time. Philip patted her on the head and said, “Never do such a stupid thing again, no matter who it is—unless you meet someone worth entrusting your life to for the rest of your life.” “Can’t you be the one?” the girl asked with wide eyes. “Uh, another girl has entrusted her life to me.” Philip smiled and said, “What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself and your brother. When your brother grows up, you can leave this place too.” “Yeah.” The girl was a little lost. Walking to the window, Philip stared at the moon outside the rust-stained window for a while and said to the girl behind him, “You should go back to sleep.” Soon, Philip heard the sound of the door closing. Early the next morning, Philip left without saying goodbye and only left a short letter. He a
There was a huge venue similar to Square Cage that caught Philip's attention—a robot battle. A huge screen introduced the contestants in a loop. This was the first time Philip saw this kind of venue. It piqued his interest, so he bought a ticket and went in. As soon as he entered, he saw a row of damaged robots. According to the venue’s introduction, as long as a robot was good enough, it could even be used as a mass-produced robot on the battlefield. It seemed that this sort of venue was available in every city. Following a robot’s direction, Philip came to the auditorium. The next two robots due for the next match were being tested. The seats weren’t filled yet, so this should not be an important match. After waiting for about half an hour, the match started per schedule, and the two robots went into the square cage. This battle was very simple with no gorgeous moves. The robots were designed to use all their strength to blast the opponent into pieces. However, judg
This also led to a great increase in the labor force in society. People did not have to work but simply left it to the robots at home. Philip lamented that the gap between the rich and the poor was not so big here, and traces of happiness could be found on the faces of people on the street. However, if that was the case, such a good thing should be promoted across all continents, so why was it not? After finding a tour guide robot, Philip expressed his doubts. The robot replied, “The green ox royal family actively reformed because this place was in an infinite crisis. Other royal families including the upper echelons rejected this reform because it would destroy their collective interests, so they joined forces and collectively boycotted the robots produced by the green ox royal family on the grounds that they were trying to use robots to rule over the continents.” “What crisis?” Philip asked. To Philip’s surprise, the robot warned Philip, “Insufficient authority, consultat
Seeing that Philip was an imposing young man, this person said quite politely, “We’ve already issued a war notice. Why are you here with your hover car?” Philip did not receive any notice, so he took out his temporary pass and replied, “I just arrived here yesterday. I’m not a local.” Seeing this, the officer asked his subordinates to take Philip to make a statement before letting him go. A brown-haired female officer who was five feet nine and wearing a dark gray combat uniform brought Philip to make a statement. This person had exotic features. “You can leave after making a statement. Do you need someone to lead you out of this area?” the female officer said. Feeling the pressure around, Philip shook his head and said, “That's not necessary. I can still protect myself.” The following routine questions included his name, where he came from, what his occupation was, and what he was doing on the fifth continent. Before Philip finished answering patiently, the battleship sh
“You should reconsider. You have great potential,” the woman tried to persuade Philip. Philip thought to himself, ‘Are the people of this battle group selected this way?’ After shooting down a few enemy planes, the first wave of offensive launched by the two parties ended, and the opponent’s remaining aircraft retreated. As survivors, Philip's aircraft also flew back. However, the situation was not optimistic. One battleship of the green ox royal family made an emergency landing while another one out of three had a hull billowing with thick smoke. There were few surviving aircraft here, and it was likely that everyone would be wiped out in the next wave of attack. In the command room, a middle-aged man with gray sideburns said, “In the next wave, we’ll send all the flying robots through the forest and catch them by surprise.” “But we don’t have enough manpower for the maintenance,” a young man next to him said. The middle-aged man pondered before asking, “When will reinfo
Philip hurriedly used the rules of space to block the electromagnetic cannonball, but it was too late. The space barrier only blocked the front part, but other parts of the aircraft were burned by the ultra-high temperature. The woman wondered how she survived this attack when Philip opened the hatch. The aircraft was falling rapidly on the nearby mountain. The woman came back to her senses and was about to put on the evacuation equipment when Philip pulled her and jumped off the aircraft. “What are you doing? We’ll die!” In the air, the woman closed her eyes and screamed. Philip ignored her but controlled the wind and slowly landed in an open area. The woman came back to her senses when her toes touched the ground. She looked at Philip in shock. To fly like this, other than using some secret methods, one must at least be a six-star wind elemental practitioner. “You!” The woman was so startled that she could not speak for a while. After finally calming down, she bowed a
