The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Tang... Forget it, I'll just call you Xiao Rao, yelling 'Instructor' and all feels a bit awkward." In the study, Zhao Bingchuan pulled up a chair for Tang Rao.

"Okay." Tang Rao nodded.

"By the way, what did you want to ask me?" Zhao Bingchuan poured a cup of hot tea for Tang Rao.

Tang Rao didn't stand on ceremony, lifted it up, and took a slight sip.

"Uncle Zhao, what area do you mainly research?" Tang Rao asked.

"War weapons," Zhao Bingchuan uttered four words.

Tang Rao nodded. It could be said that the research on war weapons was the top priority of the Super Technology Research Institute.

Tang Rao was actually clear about various progressions, but it's always better to ask the person involved.

"What stage has it reached now?" Tang Rao inquired.

"Well, I'm not sure what exactly you want to know, Xiao Rao? The destructive power or degree of integration between the two technologies," Zhao Bingchuan said as he looked at Tang Rao.

He always felt that Tang Rao meant something else.

"I'm not interested in the degree of integration, I'm concerned about the destructive power. You should also be aware of the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains; our Blue Star is currently at a disadvantage. If we want to secure our position, we must first develop high-powered weapons just like Yan Country did in the past," Tang Rao stated.

Tang Rao knew a bit about the history of Yan Country.

Back then, Yan Country was weakened and held a very low international status, but it was because they developed nuclear weapons that they were able to stabilize.

Now facing the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, in order not to be devoured by those jackals, it is necessary to have weapons that can threaten them.

"Actually... I can hardly access these core materials. Your aunt and I are considered authorities in the field, but... currently, all the battle tech of the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains is controlled by Doctor Jin, and we're unaware of some crucial things," Zhao Bingchuan said.

Regarding this, he also had some complaints about Jin Shengqiao, that person... well, it's not that he's bad, but he holds onto everything too tightly, keeping everything secretive.

Hiding and hoarding, how can we advance like this?

And in terms of research capabilities, Zhao Bingchuan could responsibly say, he and his wife were superior to Jin Shengqiao.

Tang Rao nodded. He arranged for Jin Doctor to be one of the people receiving the technologies of the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains.

"In that case, I'll give you a share of the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains technology, but you have to promise me one condition," Tang Rao said, looking at Zhao Bingchuan.

"What condition?" Zhao Bingchuan's eyes filled with hope, as getting those core materials would definitely speed up his research tremendously.

"Leave the Special Ninth Department," Tang Rao stated.

What!

Zhao Bingchuan looked at Tang Rao incredulously, leave the Special Ninth Department? Why?

Aren't you the leading figure in the Special Ninth Department's theoretical work? Why would you want me to leave the Special Ninth Department?

"Xiao Rao, I don't understand, all the things I research are for the Special Ninth Department. You hold significant power there, you can access all the research materials…"

"Your specialty is researching technology, mine is studying people. Sometimes, the human heart can be much more powerful than any weapon," Tang Rao shrugged and said with a smile.

As super technology progresses, Blue Star will definitely enter a phase of rapid development.

He didn't know how the situation would evolve, but he, for sure, would face pressures from various sides.

Even from Yan Country.

Nobody would want the Special Ninth Department to be under his control, not even the First Brother, who probably also wants to completely control it.

It's not about breaking the bridge after crossing, when ambitions grow, this is just how it is.

Just like when he first met Mei Fanghua, Tang Rao was already at the peak of Transcending Tribulations, and at that time Mei Fanghua was merely at the Golden Core Stage. Could Mei Fanghua dare to harm him during the Golden Core Stage? Of course not.

But once she also entered Transcending Tribulations, her ambition grew, and with greater ambition comes greater desires.

"Is this really necessary? Won't the upper echelons question you?" Zhao Bingchuan said.

"Remember this well, I, Tang Rao, answer to no one, not even Tiandu," Tang Rao said indifferently, being a Cultivator, if one still thinks there's a higher power, then one can't go far.

Cultivation is about creating one's fate, seizing the creation of heaven and earth.

"If you agree, I will give you the materials; if you don't want to agree, then it's fine too, let's pretend this conversation never happened," Tang Rao said with a smile.

He was just making preparations in advance, everything is more reassuring when well-prepared.

"Okay." Zhao Bingchuan wasn't hesitant, after thinking it over, he agreed.

"But let it be clear, I won't do anything that harms Yan Country," Zhao Bingchuan added.

"Of course, I trust the character of First Brother, what I'm guarding against is some other people," Tang Rao laughed.

...

When Tang Rao left Zhao Xuerui's home, it was already close to evening, and as he still had matters to attend to, he didn't stay for dinner.

"Ah, another day just passed like this." Tang Rao said helplessly, rarity giving himself a break, yet feeling like he achieved nothing.

...
