The Undying Mecha Emperor-Chapter 132 Chatting With Bunkmates

That moment was an incredible one for me.

My "devour capacity" had increased tremendously due to the advancement of my red energy quality caused by the Ancestor's serum, as well as due to the sharp spike in red energy volume caused by the emotional roller coaster I was on for the past few days.

And with all the "digesting" done, I was finally ready to do more devouring.

Blue mechas, white mechas, anything. All I needed was targets.

"I need to find the strongest white mechas and devour them secretly!" I thought to myself. "If possible, IF I could somehow find a golden mecha…"

I remember feeling extremely exhilarated at the thought.

"Hey guys!" I said very loudly to interrupt Roland and Jack who were arguing quite heatedly about how quickly the Long Family would be overtaken by the Whitefrosts as the premier family in the Federation now that I had completely thrashed their youngest and brightest generation.

And also to wake Barrick Rui up who was already snoring loudly on his bed.

"What do you know about golden mechas?" I asked them as soon as I had gotten their attention.

"Golden mechas? The most powerful mechas in all of creation?" Roland Hu's voice rose to a high pitch in surprise and reverence.

"Yes, those golden mechas. Do we have them in the Federation?" I asked him eagerly.

"Of course… not!" Jack Yang said with a rueful laugh. "If we had a golden mecha, we would not be bullied by the Americans and the Europeans this way! The reason why they are the only two countries to call themselves superpowers in this world with no other country bold enough to call themselves that is simply because they are in possession of golden mechas."

"Golden mechas are that powerful? How exactly do they make America and Europe superpowers?" I asked curiously.

"A single LIGHT golden mecha is worth a thousand HEAVY white mechas. And that is a modest estimate." Barrick Rui said with a huge yawn.

"A squad of ten golden mechas can sit in ten different cities in this Federation and hold the citizens of the entire country hostage, and we would have absolutely NO way to dislodge them apart from detonating all of our nuclear arsenal.

But that would defeat the purpose of detonating them in the first place since the nuclear blast would kill all of our citizens.

Golden mechas are, in short, the backbone of superpowers.

The only reason why America and Europe are not in full control of the entire world is simply because they are wary of each other, and are very aggressively checking each other's powers.

This world is in a stalemate of their making, and the fate of our freedom is at the whim of their decisions." Barrick Rui said heavily and instantly destroyed the slightly fun mood which the room was in.

"I have never heard of our situation phrased that way before." Jack Yang finally said quietly after several long seconds had passed.

"It sucks big time." Roland Hu added bitterly.

"Your parents have been foolishly shielding you from the truth." Barrick Rui said rather unkindly, but in a gentle tone to take the edge off his words.

Roland Hu and Jack Yang merely sighed.

"You must be a nobleman's son." Roland Hu said to Barrick Rui. "Only noblemen teach such heavy stuff to their children. Just what does the Rui family do anyway? I have never heard of you guys."

I looked at Barrick Rui with great interest. Although I wasn't done asking my questions about golden mechas, I was quite interested in Barrick Rui's family background. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

His words, his thinking and his actions had been pretty impressive thus far.

"Of course you have never heard of us. We are not very high profile, and we are not very powerful like the Longs and the Whitefrosts." Barrick Rui said with a chuckle. "We are content to just live comfortably, mind our own business, and merely act to safeguard our interests."

His words sounded extremely reasonable, and we all instantly believed him.

"He is probably the son of a middle-high class nobleman who is extremely well educated and very updated with the world's situation. Probably dealing with foreign relations or something." We all thought, and left it at that.

I would later learn just how powerful the Rui Family actually was, and just how ridiculously wide ranging the words "act to safeguard our interests" were, which as you know is their favorite narrative.

"Aren't you a nobleman's son too, Roland?" Jack Yang asked. "Your physical enhancements are quite impressive. Most kids would have fainted after getting hit by my uppercut earlier. But you weren't even injured!"

"Oh that. My father got a gift from one of his nobleman clients whom he had helped very tremendously. It was a powerful physical enhancement serum, and he gave it to me to eliminate my physical weakness." Roland Hu said dismissively, but with pride clearly oozing out of his voice.

"Lucky you." Jack Yang said with a regretful sigh. "Would be great if I could get my hands on a physical enhancement serum as well."

? "Why the interest in golden mechas anyway? For us, even being the elites of the country doesn't place us any closer to being able to see a golden mecha, much less ride in one, much, much less pilot one." Barrick Rui asked me to steer the conversation to more interesting stuff. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

"They are the most powerful mechas in existence. Of course he is interested. I am too!" Roland Hu said as he answered Barrick Rui's question automatically for me.

"Yes, I really would like to see one if possible. It'll be such an awesome experience." I sighed with great yearning. "And a FILLING experience too!" I thought to myself.

"If you just want to see one, it isn't impossible." Jack Yang said suddenly.

"What? What do you mean? Where can I see a golden mecha? Tell me quick!" Roland Hu, ever my spokesperson whether intentionally or not, shouted all the questions that I wanted to ask with great fervor.
