Su Ming cautiously observed Su Mulong’s expression and spoke.
After listening to Su Ming, Su Mulong frowned but quickly calmed down and said seriously.
"Su Ming, I understand what you mean. However, the strongest mecha weapon the family currently produces is the Fake V Generation Mecha·Thunder God, and there is no weapon with better performance."
"I know, which is why I’m considering looking for other channels to purchase."
Su Ming pondered for a moment and said.
After hearing Su Ming’s words, not only did Su Mulong not get angry, but he spoke to him seriously.
"Su Ming, I don’t mind you purchasing through other channels. But you might not be aware that even the Kovan Group, their weapons are only slightly better in performance than ours, not significantly stronger. To meet your standards, only those capable of producing V Generation Mechas could do it!"
"Who can produce V Generation Mechas?"
Su Ming asked curiously upon hearing this.
"In this world, the only ones capable of producing V Generation Mechas are the Federation, Tianqi, Dark Star, and Saint Qiao. All V Generation Mechas are controlled and produced by them. However, they absolutely do not produce for individuals, only distribute to subordinates. In other words, the highest level of weapons individuals can own in this world are Fake V Generation Mechas. If you want to custom-make a high-level Fake V Generation Mecha, frankly speaking, you’re touching on these entities, and there’s no way they’d take your order. Therefore, you should consider the family’s Thunder God seriously."
Su Mulong spoke earnestly to Su Ming.
After listening to Su Mulong, Su Ming felt a bit moved. Indeed, the world’s top weapons are all in the hands of the four major powers.
If he guessed correctly, Shabask’s V Generation Mecha likely was also obtained at a great cost from one of these powers.
For a moment, Su Ming’s brows furrowed tightly. Although using those materials to build Thunder God was quite good, it wasn’t the perfect solution, leaving him somewhat unwilling.
At this time, Su Mulong also noticed Su Ming’s reluctance, aiming for better mecha, and said.
"Su Ming, if you really want a better mecha, you’ll have to go to the Dragon Pattern Group."
"Dragon Pattern Group?"
Su Ming responded with a slight startle.
"The Dragon Pattern Group is the head of the Federation’s seven major arms dealers, and their Fake V Generation Mecha is considered the best. I have some connections with the Clan Leader of the Dragon Pattern Group, and if I pull my old face to ask, he should agree."
Su Mulong said in a deep voice to Su Ming.
"That would trouble Grandpa too much, actually, I was thinking of trying my luck at Xi Guang Laboratory."
Su Ming took a deep breath and replied.
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Su Mulong’s face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in shock.
"Xi Guang Laboratory? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Xi Guang Laboratory is directly under the Council Chairman, and they don’t give face to anyone. I’ve never heard of them custom-making a mecha for anyone; they will definitely not take your order."
"I know it’s very difficult, but I still want to try. If it doesn’t work, I’ll come back to trouble you."
Su Ming contemplated for a moment and said, leaving a bit of room for himself without speaking too definitively.
Hearing Su Ming’s words, Su Mulong became increasingly astonished. His great-grandson’s vision wasn’t ordinary, far exceeding his expectations.
Su Mulong’s expression shifted, he took a deep breath, then slapped the table and said.
"Damn it, since you’ve decided, go ahead and do it. Having a genius like you in the family is a blessing for the Su Family. If you need any help, just come back and tell me!"
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Su Ming said with great gratitude.
"No need to be so polite, are you hungry?"
"No."
"Come on, let’s go eat together and have a drink with me."
"Okay!"
Su Ming replied with a smile.

------------------------------------------------
The next morning.
At the entrance of Starlight City·S District.
Su Ming drove a black sports car over.
The guarding soldier raised his hand to stop the vehicle and said in a deep voice to Su Ming.
"Sir, the S District is a special controlled area, and without specific permission and a pass card, entry is not possible."
Su Ming directly presented the identity card of Xi Guang Laboratory.
The soldier in charge of guarding verified it and immediately saluted.
"Sir, please proceed!"
Su Ming then drove in, arriving at Xi Guang Laboratory’s Building 1.
He got out of the car carrying a metal box and then passed through the security gate, smoothly entering the building and arriving at the lobby of Building 1.
The lobby was round and very spacious, with the floor and walls made of silver metal, giving off a very cold feeling.
All around, researchers dressed in white lab coats, carrying various documents in their hands, hurried by.
Su Ming glanced around and walked to the nearby guide desk.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
A girl dressed in a white work outfit, with a delicate appearance and bright eyes, asked politely.
"I’d like to know if Dr. Blakes is in the laboratory, and where exactly?"
The girl in front was stunned to hear Su Ming’s words.
Su Ming could even see a trace of panic in her expression, clearly not knowing how to respond.
"Ahem, I am a formal member of Xi Guang Laboratory, with the authorization to meet the doctor."
Su Ming lifted his black pass card for a moment.
Upon seeing it, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said.
"The doctor is in the laboratory, on the seventh floor. You can take that elevator and swipe the card to go up!"
