Lu Ye was well aware of the impact of this.

He once watched an isekai anime where, when the protagonist created tanks and went to the battlefield, the isekai natives wielding knives and spears were terrified and fled in panic.

Although the plot is absurd, the massive weapons and the fear of the unknown will definitely overwhelm the soldiers' psychological defenses in an instant.

This is an inherent human trait etched into our genes, such as the fear of darkness and the awe of giant creatures...

"After the defeat, the Western powers will be reshuffled. The strength and status of the southern countries, led by Leidenscheft, will plummet, while Verdon will seize the opportunity to rise to the top. At that time, they will be eager to show their strength to the whole West. That will be the time for us to make our move."

“I see…” Lu Ye understood. “The reason Verdon was able to mass-produce these mechs is mainly because of the neural connection technology, and this technology is in the hands of Feymond, who possesses the Protoss fragments… So you want to use the fragments to exchange for my help?”

"It was thanks to you and that girl's help. Before meeting you, I had already given up hope, because this was a war I was destined to lose." The colonel drank his wine. "But after seeing that girl, hope was rekindled in my heart, because my plan needed just such a person, and I had been searching for her for a long time..."

“I have a ‘patriotic heart,’ which is the source of my actions. I am willing to pay any price for this country,” the colonel said. “I know what you are worried about, and to show my sincerity, I can give it to you now.”

As he spoke, the colonel took out his pocket watch and showed the side that concealed the "Protoss fragment".

"Aren't you afraid I'll take it and run away?"

“I also know the whereabouts of the third fragment,” the colonel said with a smile.

"What did you say?"

"Isn't it incredible? Don't worry, our interests are aligned. You help me save Leiden, and I will give you what you want," the colonel said. "You have to give something to get something..."

"That's not right. You actually only want Violet. She's the key to your plan."

Lu Ye astutely pointed out the colonel's intention.

“Of course, but judging from her behavior the other night, she’s quite dependent on you and probably won’t follow anyone else’s orders. Also, her language is different from ours, which means she can only communicate with you,” the colonel smiled. “Time is running out for this country, and we’ll have to rely on you to get her to understand our commands. But don’t worry, going to the battlefield isn’t your responsibility, but I need this girl for the new aircraft, and you can make her obey.”

"You want to use her as an experiment?!"

Seeing Lu Ye's angry expression, the colonel actually laughed.

"Yes, but don't worry, there won't be any harm. What I value is her physical condition and mental state. After we arrive on land, you can go and experience it first to confirm if there is any danger, and then have the girl come... It's getting late, staying up late is bad for your health, go back and think it over carefully."

The colonel issued an order to leave.

Lu Ye didn't linger and went straight out the door.

A moment later, there was another knock on the door.

“Colonel,” Dietfried said.

"Why did you come back?"

"The pirate has lost too much blood and is dead."

"Throw it into the sea."

“I re-examined the scene carefully and questioned every one of my men. No one approached the lower decks before the incident,” Dietfried said. “You released that pirate?”

"Yes."

"But why is there only one bullet in the gun?"

“Initially, I wanted to kill him, but then I changed my mind,” the colonel said calmly. “Didn’t you notice? He said he came here after a shipwreck, but there are no shipwrecks nearby. Even if he was brought here by ocean currents, it’s impossible. Did you notice the wooden hut he built? He knows how to build a house, but he doesn’t know how to choose a location. Although that place has a wide view, it is more humid than other places due to the sea breeze. If you live there for a long time, the wood will get infested with insects and rot.”

"What does this have to do with killing him? He said he only recently arrived on the island, right?"

"He arrived on the island recently, but the girl with him isn't," the colonel said. "The girl isn't stupid, she just lacks education."

"After saying all that, you still haven't answered my question."

“After that girl obeyed his orders and killed Lu Ye, rebuilding a trusting relationship with her again would be too troublesome…” the colonel chuckled. “Besides, he’s quite good to that child…”

……

Lu Ye was walking back to her room.

He walked while he pondered.

The colonel's proposal was certainly very appealing.

But after what happened with the pirates, he couldn't easily trust the colonel.

As the colonel said before, "The lion has no need to make promises to the rabbit."

Lu Ye's current status is not equal to that of the colonel, so the rabbit needs to become stronger, and in a short period of time...

The key is the special item in the shop – [Chuang Chuang Zi].

If I can get the 4000 points from the side quest, I can buy the dump truck...

While he might not be able to stand up to a colonel, he could at least quickly get going in crucial moments.

Lu Ye turned into the passageway on the side of the ship and suddenly clapped his hands in the darkness.

Then he stretched out his hands, as if to catch something.

The next moment, a dark shadow fell from above.

Lu Ye caught her steadily, feeling the soft touch of the girl's body on his fingertips, and a faint floral fragrance wafted through the air.

Violet nestled in Lu Ye's arms, her azure eyes fixed on him as if asking a question.

Girls' bodies are so soft... Lu Ye thought sincerely.

It feels much better than the big-breasted anime girl body pillow I have at home.

"Well done!"

Lu Ye put her down and gently patted Violet's head like he was bouncing a ball.

Violet nodded twice along with Lu Ye's palm, her eyes sparkling with life.

Children are always especially happy when they are praised by their parents.

Just like when Lu Ye first learned to wipe his own bottom, his cousins, stepmother, second aunt, and third aunt would happily pinch his bottom and say, "Little Ye is so good!"

Lu Ye thought Violet was great too, it was just a pity he couldn't pinch her butt, that's something only weirdos and perverts would do.

He certainly didn't come to meet the colonel alone.

He brought Violet with him before he came.

Care and caution are necessary.

This is another world, not my own bedroom where I can do whatever I want.

Chapter 45 Neural Connection Technology

The next morning.

After breakfast, Lu Ye took Violet back to her room.

He's teaching Violet the language of this world.

With Chinese as her language foundation, she will be able to learn other languages ​​more quickly.

The requirements are still not high; being able to communicate simply is sufficient.

After a morning of learning, Violet gained a basic understanding of the languages ​​of this world.

She is indeed smart. With a foundation in Chinese, she figured out the grammatical structure in just five hours. Her learning efficiency is both fast and good. It seems that all she needs to do next is learn and accumulate vocabulary, and supplement it with conversations in daily life. She should be able to learn the language very quickly.

A cool sea breeze blew across the deck, and everyone on board was especially happy that night.

After dinner, they went for a drive on the deck and caught a glimpse of the city lights in the distance.

Although they are very small, like fireflies flickering in the dark, it means they have returned home.

Violet was lying by the railing watching the dolphins on the boat. She had been there for 40 minutes and didn't seem to get tired of it.

Considering her skills, Lu Ye didn't stop her.

“At this rate, we should arrive at the port by noon tomorrow,” Hawkins remarked casually.

"Tomorrow at noon?" Lu Ye was taken aback.

"Yes, didn't you know that at sea, the distance you see is actually an illusion? You think it's very close, but in fact it's very far."

"But I once read a report that said the human eye can only see about 16 kilometers above the sea surface..."

"I don't know that. All I know is that the main reason we won't reach the port until noon tomorrow is that the ship is running out of power," Hawkins said. "Haven't you noticed that the ship's speed has been slowing down since yesterday?"

"really."

Lu Ye nodded, his expression calm, but he was actually a little uneasy inside.

If my guess is correct, then it's time to distribute the reward.

He stared at the faint light in the darkness, waiting silently.

Sudden.

The heartwarming light blue background brightened up.

Side Quest: Escape from the Island Completed

[Reward: 4000 points]

Lu Ye's heart pounded wildly; it was finally here.

Almost immediately, he opened the online store, scrolled down, and went from the page of frequently visited products to the page that refreshes regularly.

Select 【ChuangChuangZi】.

[To purchase or not?]

He clicked "Yes" and watched as his 5000 points were instantly wiped out, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction.

Is this what it feels like to shop till you drop?

Don't prick it with a needle.

Just then, a soldier called out to him from behind.

"Mr. Lu, the colonel is looking for you."

“It must be about ships bound for the East,” Hawkins said. “Go quickly.”

Lu Ye secretly gave Violet a wink.

The latter understood and walked towards the passageway on the side of the ship.
