Chapter 128: The Birth of the Cybertron Capitalist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Isn’t it very easy? It’s not difficult, right? Come, there are 200 9mm bullets here…”

“Enchant them all with the Flame Roar? No, no, no, you’re thinking too much. There’s no need to make so many.”

“A hundred enchantments are enough for the time being. The remaining 100 enchantments are the Divine Sharpness that increases penetration and lethality. Come, show me the USB port and I’ll give you this design.”

“Hmm? Why do you think so?”

“I’m teaching you this knowledge to help you learn these two enchantments. You can completely enchant and strengthen your ammunition to increase your combat strength. This is a skill I selflessly taught you. Knowledge is priceless. You’re only helping me do some repetitive work. Is there a problem?”

“Child, I think you’ve fallen into a misunderstanding. What remaining value? If I hadn’t provided the production information, would you have had the chance to unleash any remaining value? Knowledge is priceless. Child, it seems that I have to explain to you the evil apprentice system of the old society. You don’t know how lucky you are…”

“Do you know what you did wrong?”

“Alright, I’m going to set off. Can you multitask? You can definitely do it. Even a computer can do it. There’s no reason why you can’t. I mean, I’ll drive and you process the ammunition, okay?”

Then, the night passed until the sun rose and there were pedestrians on the road.

As usual, Kang De drove the Hummer to a wilderness and prepared to rest. He had already become a night owl who went out at night in the day for safety reasons.

After all, a car was still too eye-catching.

After investigating the surrounding environment and doing some concealment, Kang De put down the car seat and knocked on the steering wheel. “Can you cover all the windows?”

The Humvee hummed softly. The disintegrating parts turned into a hard shell that enveloped in all directions. The car fell into darkness. A mechanical arm handed the blanket and pillow to Kang De.

“Oh, thank you,” Kang De said. “I’ll leave the guarding to you.”

A low voice sounded from the car’s stereo. “Yes, Father.”

The kind old father smiled and said, “There are still many things to deal with. You can’t rest now.”

“…”

The Autobot was silent for a moment before saying, “Father.”

Kang De lay comfortably on the extended and wide seat and covered himself with the blanket. In the absolute darkness, there was no light, only the souls of humans and machines conversing, “Yes?”

“In theory, I don’t need to sleep for a long time like you. As long as I have enough energy, I can continue to move, but that’s only the theory.”

There was a trace of confusion in the Autobot’s voice, “But I’ll be confused, especially when I repeat this delicate and boring work. Father is happily singing and even using his phone, so much so that I have to divert my attention to help Father control his direction and speed… This makes me confused.”

Kang De made a tired and weak sound.

“Son…”

He sighed, “You only see me singing happily, but you don’t see the crying of my soul. Child, you don’t know how I got here before you were born. I was alone and trekked through this other world alone. Everything around me is completely unfamiliar. The humans here have huge malice towards me. I have to travel on tenterhooks every day and turn a blind eye when I sleep…”

He covered his face and sobbed, “Apart from that, under such high psychological pressure, I still have to take the time and energy to enchant and strengthen my bullets to increase my combat strength and self-preservation ability to resist the possible dangers in this world. Child, do you know how hard I work…”

At this point, Kang De’s tone choked, “I’m human. I have a weak heart and a fragile soul. My mental fortitude is not high, and I’m under a lot of mental pressure. My physiological structure determines that I’m not suitable for boring repetitive work, but even so, I gritted my teeth and did it…”

“Then, you appeared.”

“Do you know how happy I am? From now on, I’m no longer lonely. I can sleep soundly. I also have companions to accompany me and face danger and difficulties together. You can even help me share a portion of the work because I’m really too tired and want to rest…”

“After all, you’re a… robot. Compared to my flesh and blood, you’re more suitable to do this repetitive and boring work, right? I only want you to temporarily help me share the burden…”

Kang De sighed. “However, you’re right. I’m indeed too selfish. I shouldn’t have handed all my work to you. This is unfair to you. I don’t have the right to do this. After all, I’m only your creator, spirit awakener, mentor, and breeder…”

He pushed the blanket aside and said shakily, “Help, help me up. I’ll help you work…”

“…”

A mechanical arm gently pressed Kang De down. The Autobot’s ashamed voice sounded. Kang De even heard the sound of the engine power increasing. “Father, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said this. You’re so good to me. It’s only right for me to do something for you. I’m sorry, I’m too childish and naive…”

It indeed looked very agitated and ashamed.

Kang De was silent for a moment.

“You’re too agitated. The temperature in the car has risen. Please turn on the air conditioner…”

“…Oh.”

The cold wind resolved the problem of the rising temperature in the car caused by the emotional turmoil.

The Autobot continued, “Father, rest well. Leave these things to me… Be it enchanting bullets, recasting ammunition, or modifying gun caliber…”

Kang De said uneasily, “I’ll do it myself. Don’t tire you out…”

The Autobot dissuaded, “Father, I won’t be tired. Really, as long as there’s enough energy. In fact, I was only puzzled previously. Now that the confusion has been resolved, I’m too selfish. I should consider more for Father, help you share your burdens, and share some work…”

Kang De sighed, “Although that’s the case, I’m your master and you’re my child. Exploiting you… I mean asking you to do things for me. I can’t bear to let you do things for me. It’s only a temporary measure. What I mean is, should we think of a more win-win method?”

The Autobot asked curiously, “What do you mean by win-win?”

Kang De said, “Of course, it means that you don’t have to tire yourself out, and I don’t have to either. We can exploit together… I mean provide precious jobs to others.”

“Think about it. When you complete the enchantment, I’ll provide the fire elements. Then, you can use devices like probes to draw diagrams on the ammunition to achieve the effect of enchantment. In fact, intelligent creatures can also do the last step. What they lack is only the probe device to store and output the elements…”

“Think about it with your smart mechanical brain. Can you be responsible for producing some kind of probe device and element storage equipment that can be repeatedly filled? You can hand the boring enchantment drawing work to others…”

In fact, the automatic enchantment that Kang De had previously imagined using machines like the engraving machine was actually very difficult. Due to the huge bonus brought by the Fire Thief talent, he felt that this matter was very easy. However, according to the Autobot, element enchantment required a certain amount of mental guidance. Mechanized rigid work was very easy to fail. In the end, it still required intelligent creatures to operate.

“We can even take another step forward and hand this job to the machines to finally achieve large-scale industrial production… However, this requires a large number of technological breakthroughs. We also have to rely on you.”

“How is it, my child?”

Kang De encouraged gently, “The source of human technology’s progress is the nature of opportunism. I suggest you work hard in this direction and become a promoter and researcher of technology. After all…”

The evil Earthling made a capitalist sound.

“Compared to being exhausted and busy, it’s more comfortable to watch others work tirelessly for you while you can manage leisurely…”

The Autobot’s tone revealed uncertainty, “Is, is that so?”

After all, it was still a pure and honest child now. “This kind of work is boring and exhausting. If I hand it to others, won’t it transfer this pain?”

Kang De smiled meaningfully, “What are you talking about? We won’t let others work for free. We can pay them and let them earn money so that they can change their lives, obtain happiness, and obtain respect… Look, isn’t this a good thing?”

When the Autobot heard this, it felt that it made sense, “That’s, that’s true… As expected of Father. I understand. Then, I’ll think about how to resolve the problem of the storage and output of elements…”

Kang De smiled in relief.

He was not lying. It was indeed the truth.

However, there was one thing he did not tell the naive child.

Even if he paid the workers generously, compared to the value created by these workers, these so-called generous rewards were only a drop in the bucket.

Was it unfair?

It looked unfair.

After all, the value created by the workers was far greater than the reward they received.

However, the enchantment tools were provided by Kang De. The enchantment technique was provided by Kang De, and even the raw materials for enchantment were provided by him. How should this part be priced? How much profit could he obtain?

According to this train of thought, this distribution seemed to be fair.

In any case, the other world operated according to this rule. Patents, positions, shares, contracts, promises… All of this formed a new and hidden form of exploitation. Most people had no objections to this. Those who had objections could scram. There were so many people who needed money to support their families, and the workmanship was not inferior to yours.

This was the true appearance of the world.

Right and wrong, benefits and disadvantages. In the past and present, many people had quarreled. Many people were worried, and most people were indifferent to this… All of this had nothing to do with the current Kang De.

His surname was Kang and his given name was De. He was not that philosopher and did not want to think about such a topic of human civilization.

To the current him, these were too distant and general.

He had something right in front of him to resolve—help Goethe defeat the overlord of the world, the elves, and settle scores with the eldest prince of the Empire of the human world.

For this, he needed strength. He needed all the strength he could mobilize. Any strength was fine… Black and white cats were good cats. He did not mind releasing some ferocious beasts.

At the very least, if his idea succeeded, he could easily create a large number of enchanted weapons to support Goethe or export them to earn gold coins as an arms dealer.

“Then, I’ll leave it to you.”

He lay in the seat, covered by the blanket, propped up on a pillow, his eyes closed.

His tone was very light.

“To be honest, I’m really happy to have you around. I truly am.”

“I thought of many things last night and had many ideas. With you around, there are many ideas that can be implemented… Be it the elves or the Empire, I can always see the hope of victory. I was a little worried earlier…”

He muttered, “Speaking of which, what should I do after winning…”

As he whispered, Kang De slowly fell asleep.

He was indeed very tired.

These few days, he had been traveling alone and had been tense in his heart. He was filled with wariness and vigilance toward everything around him. He could not sleep well and did not communicate with the people of the other world… This state lasted for a long time.

Moreover, the opponent was a behemoth like the elves and the Empire.

How could a mere person interfere in this huge war?

However, today, after the birth of the Autobot, everything finally changed.

There was silence in the car.

There was only Kang De’s even breathing.

After a long time, the Autobot’s whisper sounded.

“Father, don’t worry. No matter what you want to do, I’ll help you…”

At the same time.

The scout of the Vidal family discovered the corpses of two knights… the two captured people.

Leona rushed over with her men. She did not care about the ferocious corpse at all and even went up to examine it personally, “Yes, there’s a smaller wound on the head. A huge hole exploded in the back of the head, and there’s the residue of fire elements in the wound. It’s the same attack method… There’s still fear on the victim’s face, but there are no signs of torture on his body. Clearly, he was executed after intense mental intimidation and torture…”

The silver-haired girl nodded and said, “He’s really a f*cking talent. He should go to the Empire’s Judgment Court to work. Those perverts who make the scene bloody and disgusting all day should really learn the work of the Cathayan. It’s the same interrogation, but he made it clean and dignified… D*mn, I’m getting more and more envious of Tina. She’s so stupid to come to the Empire and actually encounter such a top-notch man…”

The old butler said indifferently, “Miss, please be more dignified…”

“What’s wrong?”

Leona glared at him. “I can’t even praise him? I didn’t say that I wanted to snatch Tina’s girlfriend. Am I that kind of person? What a joke. Am I that useless?”

“Besides, who in the entire Empire doesn’t know that I, Leona, am the most loyal friend? Do you know what loyalty is? It’s loyalty. Even if all the men in the world are dead, even if I don’t get married for the rest of my life, no matter how powerful and fierce that Cathayan is, I won’t snatch a man from Tina!”

Since Miss had said so, there was basically no problem.

After all, the old butler was very confident in Miss’s pride and vision.

However, for some reason, he still felt a trace of uneasiness.

Leona said, “However… the news was leaked in the end. This Cathayan is still alive.”

The old butler nodded silently.

The Eldest Prince’s people were not stupid. Although the pursuit last night was a private operation, he had still sent someone to send the news before he deployed it. This could not be stopped.

In other words, although he had failed this time, the Eldest Prince would definitely not let the matter rest.

In fact, it was not only him. Now, Princess Tina’s actions could be said to have attracted the attention of the entire Empire and even the world. The troops she had pulled up were essentially slapping the Empire’s face. Her ultimate goal was to bring these increasingly huge reinforcements into Goethe and fight the elves. In other words, the current Tina was almost fighting the two most powerful countries in this world.

Due to her ingenious methods and scheming, her enemies could not do anything to her for a moment, but Kang De was alone… Tina had previously declared that the Cathayan was her husband who had been engaged to her.

“There’s going to be a storm in the entire west of the Empire…”

Leona said, “With the intelligence Kang De displayed earlier, he will definitely expect this. Therefore, he won’t go north to find Tina because this means layers of obstruction and danger. After all, he’s in the Empire all the way… If I’m not wrong, he’ll still continue to travel west until he leaves the Empire’s border and enters Goethe. Then, he’ll go north from Goethe and catch up to Tina’s army.”

The old butler nodded.

It was a reasonable analysis.

“Therefore, I can almost confirm his route… Especially since he’s from Cathay and doesn’t have an accurate map. He doesn’t know the terrain here, so his next destination is even clearer.”

Leona said, “Let’s go first and wait for him there or find him!”

The old butler said, “Where’s that group of green-skinned people?”

Leona revealed a smile, “Of course, I told them to go over themselves… They don’t doubt that prophecy now. I have a feeling that they might be of great use…”

“After all…”

A worried expression appeared on the girl’s face, “Kang De needs all the power he can unite and use now… His current situation is really not good.”

She thought of another piece of information she had received this morning.

The old butler asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

The girl sighed, “I just received the information this morning. Someone is putting a bounty on Kang De. It’s a mercenary group that has risen in the past two months. It’s filled with some noble disciples, wandering warriors, slave gladiators, and wild mages. They’re very strong and have a lot of connections. These messy people are asking about the whereabouts of the Cathayan through those complicated and wide channels. It’s said that their ferocious and terrifying boss has specifically asked for this person…”
