Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

Yue Buqun, Huang Feihong, and Zhang Sanfeng also expressed the same interest.

Kuina excitedly shouted that she wanted to buy some, while the young master wanted to prepare a few for his relatives and friends.

Connor, as a dragon, expressed his incomprehension of everyone's pursuit of immortality, stating "643".

Guina explained that Connor didn't understand the short-lived species' desire for longevity and sent her to buy food.

Gu Beichen smiled and said that Connor really didn't need to worry about his lifespan.

Gu Beichen reminded everyone that the longevity drug is still in the research and development stage, and the key is whether an alternative formula can be found.

The life essence within Tianxing is limited and may not be able to meet everyone's needs.

After hearing this, everyone calmed down.

Tony and the others encouraged Gu Beichen, expressing their belief that he could succeed.

Gabriel suddenly interrupted, expressing her disdain for everyone's desire for immortality in her capacity as an angel.

Saeko Busujima points out that she, as an angel, is also an immortal being.

Gabriel waved her hand dismissively: "Anyway, we don't have to worry about lifespan anymore. As long as we meet our performance targets, we might be able to live on forever!"

Her attitude is really carefree.

Tony snorted defiantly, "So what if you were lucky enough to be born into a good family? What's there to be proud of?"

“That’s right,”

Gabriel blinked. "I'm sure there are plenty of people on your Earth who think that way about you too!"

She added pointedly, "If you hadn't been born into a good family, you might still be begging on the streets right now!"

Tony was speechless, and could only helplessly continue to bury himself in his experiments.

He recently collaborated with Maya and Zhao Hailun on research into the dead virus. Although an antidote has not yet been successfully developed, they have made some breakthrough progress.

Gu Beichen interjected at the opportune moment: "That's why I say, comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."

Sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and animals!

Zhang Sanfeng sighed, "Humans are always greedy."

Having something good, they always want something better; they're never satisfied.

True happiness comes from contentment.

Gabriel replied with dissatisfaction: "Group owner, does that sound like you're insulting me?"

Gu Beichen said indifferently, "There's nothing I can do if that's how you interpret it."

I've never seen anyone deliberately seek out being insulted.

Gabriel sent a string of ellipses to express her speechlessness.

Gu Beichen continued, "We'll have to wait a bit longer regarding the elixir of immortality."

If we can find a material to replace Tianxing, that would be best, otherwise…”

At this moment, Tony suddenly interjected: "Everyone, the Mark 1-3 armors are now available! Group admin, the armor you ordered is finished and will be sent to you soon."

The system notified Gu Beichen that he had received a red envelope from Tony.

"interesting."

Gu Beichen clicked to claim, and a briefcase-sized portable battle suit and a complete set of steel battle suits immediately appeared in front of him.

Cynthia walked over curiously: "What is this? A robot?"

"This is an Iron Man suit."

Gu Beichen explained the origin and function of the armor in detail, then put his arm around her waist and asked, "Interested in trying it out?"

Cynthia shook her head and refused: "Forget it, this thing is just a toy, and it's not very practical."

"Only you guys like these metal lumps."

After saying that, she broke free from Gu Beichen's embrace, grabbed a piece of cake, and went upstairs.

"This girl..."

Gu Beichen smiled as he put away his armor.

He himself doesn't really know how to use it; at most, he uses it to play around or just for show.

The armor he's wearing now is practically useless to him; his own fists are much more effective.

Gu Beichen was more interested in the Ark Reactor and planned to study the technology in his spare time.

If it can be improved and promoted to the main world, it should become a good clean energy project.

Yue Buqun readily ordered a Mark 3 armor.

500 points isn't expensive for him; he mainly values ​​its flight function.

With his current strength, no one in the martial arts world can rival him, and the imperial court will soon be no threat to him either.

For him, armor was more like a means of transportation, since transportation in ancient times was extremely inconvenient.

Cars need good roads, and helicopters are difficult to control, so this kind of intelligent assisted combat armor is the most practical.

Zhu Youjian also ordered a No. 3 armored vehicle, intending to use it to deal with the restless foreign tribes outside the Great Wall.

He was planning to lead three thousand eunuch warriors equipped with submachine guns to the front lines, and the addition of armor would make them even more formidable.

These martial artists already possess acquired cultivation levels, and when combined with modern weapons, their combat power is not simply a matter of adding them together.

Ying Zheng also placed an order for the No. 3 armor.

He planned to have the Gongshu family study and learn from his experience to develop new combat equipment.

Moreover, with this, it will be more convenient and safer to travel incognito in the future.

Li Yunlong wanted to buy them, but his points were limited, so he decided to stockpile more weapons first.

With these few hundred points, you can buy all sorts of weapons from Tony.

Once he has more points, he wants to get a fighter jet, which would be perfect for carrying out precision strikes.

Ip Man sent a message in the group: "I'll order a Mark III suit too! The Japanese are going to reach Foshan in eight days. I had prepared a lot of plans, but now that I see the Iron Man suit, I feel relieved."

His current strength is not enough to fight against the well-equipped Japanese army single-handedly. He originally planned to lure the enemy into the city and then use explosives, but that would destroy his hometown.

With armor, things are different; you can also carry more ammunition and backup energy.

Others in the group urged, "Be extremely careful!"

"Remember to go live!"

"You must say something if you need to!"

Ip Man thanked them one by one.

After breakfast, Naz took Xiaoxue to handle company affairs.

Gu Beichen, along with Cynthia and Gadria, traveled by car to the newly renovated Water Cube to attend the founding ceremony of the Pokémon League.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the venue, I saw Wataru and Daigo waving.

Karuno suddenly appeared out of nowhere and gave Gu Beichen a warm hug: "I missed you so much!"

Gu Beichen replied with a smile, "I missed you too. Did you just arrive? I didn't see you yesterday."

Karuno shrugged helplessly: "The champion has been quite busy lately. This time, he's in charge of leading the Western European delegation to the founding ceremony of the Dragon Kingdom Alliance."

She released Gu Beichen's arm and nodded to Shirona and Cattleya.

"understand."

Gu Beichen gave a brief response, then suggested, "Let's go and meet up with Adu and the others."

After saying that, he led the three ladies in that direction.

As soon as they got closer, A-Du couldn't help but complain, "I knew I shouldn't have invited you. Showing off your love in public is too much, isn't it?"

Daigo chimed in from the side, "I warned you not to wait for him."

Gu Beichen laughed dismissively, "How about I introduce you to someone as an apology?"

"no!"

Adu resolutely refused; he knew all too well Gu Beichen's perverse sense of humor.

Besides, with Gu Beichen's looks, which girl would even notice someone else?

Daigo quickly waved his hand, saying, "My marriage is still up to my family to arrange."

As the heir to the Devon Group, his right to choose his own marriage partner is quite limited.

Gu Beichen, however, persisted, putting his arm around their shoulders and continuing to tease, "How about Miss Chestnut from the Matsuoka family?"

Seeing that the two remained silent, he changed his target: "What about Miss Orange from Carlos?"

Finally, she added, "Surely Ms. Fumio from Kanto is satisfied now?"

"Hey! You're not kidding us, are you?"

A-Du and Dai-Wu couldn't stand it anymore. They grabbed Gu Bei-Chen's shoulders on either side and glared at him irritably: "Chestnuts, oranges, pomelos, are you going to get some peaches and plums next? Do you think this is a fruit stand picking out produce?"

The three of them burst into laughter.

A-Du laughed and complained, "These families name their children so casually! Is it a collection of fruits?"

Daigo shrugged: "You bet! But the worst one is that kid Hokushin."

"That's right!"

A-du nodded repeatedly.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the staff led them to the champion's seat next to the podium.

After taking their seats, the group immediately stopped joking and became serious.

The opening ceremony started on time.

The host walked onto the stage and announced: "Welcome everyone to the founding ceremony of the Dragon Kingdom Elf Alliance... Now, please welcome the Grand Elder to give a speech..."

Amidst enthusiastic applause, the Grand Elder succinctly announced: "I hereby declare the Dragon Kingdom Elf Alliance officially established!"

"Next up is an exhibition match between the Elite Four and the Champion. The first match will be between Lorelei, the Ice-type Elite Four member from Kanto, and Arya, the Bug-type Elite Four member from Sinnoh!"

Upon hearing the match list, Gu Beichen and Adu exchanged a smile: "Aliu is going to suffer this time."

Despite her title of "King of the Hill," Kona's skill level is among the top of the King of the Hill category.

Her meticulously cultivated Ice-type Pokémon lineup was even a challenge for Lance, the champion—after all, most of his main Pokémon were countered by Ice-type.

The match unfolded exactly as expected, with A-Liu being completely dominated.

However, for the sake of the performance, Kona deliberately made the battle exciting and captivating, keeping the audience engrossed.

"Pokémon battles are so cool!"

"The skill combination is ingenious!"

"Kobe Bryant is so cool!"

"The Bug type is still not good enough."

"Championship-level battles are just different; every move is incredibly powerful."

"Times have really changed; from now on, it will be the era of Pokémon and their trainers."

"Isn't this great? Elves are so cute, and they can even help with chores."

"That's right! My Haoli helped me move bricks yesterday, and I earned 800 yuan in one day."

"You're really something..."

After the five exhibition matches concluded, the host announced: "Next up is the champion exhibition match. Please welcome former Sinnoh champion Gu Beichen and Chengdu champion Yu Longdu to the stage!"

Gu Beichen stood up and said to Adu, "Let's go, let me see how much you've improved this year. We haven't sparred in a long time."

A-Du responded with a smile: "Go easy on me, give me some face."

A-Du stood up helplessly, a bitter smile on his face.

He knew that Gu Beichen's strength far surpassed his own; he had been no match for him for over a year, and now he was even more unfathomable.
