Chapter 127: The Dream of Humans is to Let Machines Work for Them!

It was a performance worthy of praise.

Kang De held the dash recorder and looked at the scene. He listened to the voice and nodded repeatedly.

His child clearly had the talent to scare others.

The human in the video was clearly extremely frightened and completely scared out of his wits. After all, human courage had a limit. The enemy was even such a ferocious steel giant that he had never seen before and had super powerful combat strength. He even shouted that he wanted to eat people and chew them… Anyone would tremble.

He put the recorder aside.

In his panic, the other party had already confessed everything.

Although the Autobot could not understand the foreign language, the car recorder faithfully recorded everything.

They were the lackeys of the Empire’s Eldest Prince, Alex.

After all, the dignified prince of the Empire would not care too much about a small fry like him. However, the beauty of a superior was that he did not have to personally ask about the punishment. With just a word or even a frown, countless people would guess his thoughts and treat this insignificant matter as the most important thing.

When he discovered the clown who had destroyed Glory Sand and caused the Eldest Prince to fall into this passive situation, he would definitely anxiously start to hunt and capture him and offer him to make his master happy.

“However, your attitude is a little strange… Logically speaking, even if you want to capture me alive, there’s no need to be so wary, right? You even said that you would guarantee my safety. As long as I surrender…”

Kang De said gently, “May I ask why you’re so obsessed with capturing me alive?”

The captured knight’s guard had already given up. After all, he had already confessed and did not mind saying more.

He said extremely quickly, “A small figure like me only needs to listen to orders and doesn’t need to know the reason. However, I heard from Mage Lisak casually that Princess Tina has put the Empire in a very sorry state these past few days. The Eldest Prince has been very passive recently and is difficult to deal with. Things are very tricky, and I accidentally discovered your traces and discovered that you’re not dead. This is good news. After all, you’re Princess Tina’s husband…”

Kang De’s voice rose an octave. “—What?”

That person said weakly, “Her… husband… don’t you know? Princess Tina said that she’s already married to you. Although you’ve already passed away, you’ll remain as a couple forever…”

D*mn—

Not only was he suddenly a father, but he was also suddenly a husband.

Tina’s beautiful face and tempting figure appeared in his mind. After all, every man who had heard fairy tales when he was young more or less had a princess complex. He had a good impression of Tina, and she was a peerless beauty. At the thought of such a beauty publicly announcing that she was his wife…

Kang De subconsciously smiled.

However, in the next moment, he was indignant.

D*mn, what wife? He had never rubbed her chest or kissed her. What kind of wife was this?

No, he had to find Tina quickly and talk to her.

—You have to be responsible for publicly announcing something groundless!

He took out a map he had bought from the city with worrying precision and said, “The last news you heard, where’s the princess?”

That person carefully pointed at the map. “Pearl City of Garin. It’s close to the border between the Empire and Goethe. The most recent news I heard was that Princess Tina has led her followers to advance here. If we go further and leave the Empire’s border and enter Goethe’s territory, we’ll have to… face the elves head-on.”

Kang De was slightly shocked.

War.

He had never experienced war, but he would definitely not underestimate it.

It was not a small fight, but a battle between thousands of people. There were countless blood and deaths, lives were as small as dust, and people were filled with fear, pain, filth, and blood.

As for that pure and beautiful girl, she had to take the initiative to fight the most terrifying monster in the world.

“One last question…”

He slowly said, “Have you heard of the Vidal family? Are they related to this?”

The captured knight clenched his fists imperceptibly. He looked at Kang De in front of him and recalled this person’s battle results and reputation. Then, he said, “…It’s related. They sent the information.”

Kang De said, “Oh.”

He looked at the person in front of him quietly until sweat rolled down the other party’s face.

“I have to tell you something.”

Kang De said seriously, “Apart from you, I’ve also captured another person. Next, I’ll ask him the same question. If the answer is different from yours…”

That person’s expression suddenly twisted and was filled with fear. He screamed, “No, no, no, I’m wrong. It has nothing to do with the Vidal family. I…”

Kang De pulled out his pistol and pressed it to his forehead.

“Unfortunate.” He said.

The captive recognized this thing. He had seen Kang De shoot and kill. Moreover, when that cold thing pressed against his forehead, extreme fear arose in his heart… because guns were made to kill.

He begged, “Spare me, please spare me. I… I didn’t lie on purpose. I…”

Kang De sighed.

“I have to tell you something else that might make you feel better…”

He said, “No matter if you’re lying or not, the outcome is only death. This is because I’m very afraid of death and feel insecure, let alone die in this f*cking world. Therefore, I have to make my enemies feel fear and let all potential enemies recognize the outcome of being my enemy. Since you’ve chosen to attack me, you have to be prepared to bear the consequences… It’s such a simple matter.”

He smiled and said, “Be optimistic. On the bright side, your death will also shock a group of reckless idiots and make them give up on the idea of attacking me. From there, you can indirectly save some lives. This can be considered your merit. This is a good thing. Your death is not meaningless, right?”

That person’s eyes widened and he wanted to continue begging.

Bang.

The bullet had already pierced his head.

“There’s no pain. He was caught off guard. I’m already very humane.”

Kang De placed his hand on his head, thought for a moment, then retracted it.

“Since my whereabouts have been exposed, there’s no need to destroy the evidence.”

He closed his eyes for the deceased, “Rest in peace and pray that someone will collect your corpse and bring you back to your hometown. If you’re a ghost, remember to instruct your relatives not to take revenge on me.”

Kang De stood up and walked to the other unconscious captive with the gun.

Bang.

Two gunshots sounded. The Autobot sitting at the side and eating only looked up.

“You don’t feel anything?”

Kang De walked over. “About me killing them.”

The Autobot thought for a moment and said seriously, “Firstly, they should have died in the previous battle. Secondly, Father did not torture and insult them. Secondly, Father did not agree to let them go. Therefore, I don’t feel anything. They’re only paying the price for their actions.”

Kang De was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and smiled, “You’re right. I’m in the right.”

At the root of it, this karma originated from Glory Sand’s betrayal. The Eldest Prince instigated the Goode family to change sides and betray Goethe. The reason why he attacked the diplomatic mission was also on Kang De’s side.

“The Eldest Prince… Heh.”

He smiled to himself.

The Autobot looked at him and said in a low voice, “Father, although I don’t understand your conversation, I guess you already have the next step.”

Kang De nodded, then looked at the Autobot.

The Autobot was sitting on a huge rock. He held the oil barrel and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, he pulled the armor and weapon beside him over and ate them.

It was a little cute.

He could not help but laugh—did the Kantai wives eat like this too?

Just now, Kang De had brought back supplies for his new son from the white fog world.

There was gasoline everywhere. He could just extract it from the car. He had made preparations in advance and stocked up a lot of gasoline for driving and combat. Needless to say, there was more metal than gasoline.

As for the ammunition, he carried two boxes of .22 sports bullets from the shooting club.

The shooting club was not small and often held competitions. There was a large number of bullets, but because it was an indoor shooting range and because of safety factors and the venue, it had a fatal injury.

—There were no large-caliber rifle bullets or powerful firearms.

There were only two main types of ammunition, the .22 sports bullet and the 9mm bullet.

Kang De had always felt that the boss of this shooting range would secretly collect some very powerful treasures. After all, to be able to open such a restaurant in the city, not only was he rich, his methods were definitely wild.

He did not expect the other party to be law-abiding.

He turned the gun room and office upside down and could not find anything good. He could not help but feel discouraged.

This way, the gains were not as great as he had imagined. Although .22-caliber guns could be used in battle, the power of a single shot was very small. If he wanted to unleash the power of a military-grade weapon, he had to use a gun with an extremely high firing speed to shoot continuously. The rifles in the shooting gallery were all semi-automatic.

The greatest gain was three 9mm foreign military pistols and a large number of bullets that could be used to sprinkle water… Not to mention anything else, there was really a lot of ammunition.

However, that was all.

In his previous battle with Lost, he had realized the inadequacy of the power and firepower of police and small-caliber firearms. He had thought that he could find more powerful firearms in the shooting club, but the outcome was disappointing—but it was not completely fruitless. At the very least, he had almost endless bullets in a short period of time.

It was not like before when he shot them one after another.

There was no need to use a nail gun to make up the numbers.

Since he could not find a more powerful firearm, for the time being, he could only start with his current equipment and consider enchanting to increase its power. Enchanting the bullet was a good choice. Of course, he had a better idea, such as dismantling the firearm and enchanting the parts one by one…

Those small and useless .22-caliber guns were the best experimental subjects. He did not have to worry about accidentally breaking them—if they were broken, so be it.

However, there was another technical problem.

For example, Kang De could enchant the bullets with flames to strengthen them, causing the bullets he shot to have the power of demonic flames and deal both physical and magic damage. However, enchanting every bullet was really too tiring. The ideal effect was to directly enchant parts like the gun barrel. If he pulled the trigger and fired ordinary bullets, he could deal fire damage.

However, there was a problem here.

Kang De did not know any related enchantments.

Although he had learned flame enchantment strengthening from the Crimson Blood Flame Edge, it did not mean that this enchantment could be directly used on the gun barrel. Of course, it could be used, but he could only obtain a gun barrel that could stab people and burn them.

In other words, if he wanted the firearms to automatically strengthen the bullets shot, the enchantment needed was not “strengthen”, but “grant”—he had not found similar equipment for the time being.

In other words, in order to ensure firepower, he still had to enchant bullets one by one.

It was super tiring. It was fine if he randomly enchanted it, but he could just pour the elements in. However, in this case, the utilization of the elements was not high, but seriously enchanting it was really more a test of patience than embroidery…

However, that was already a thing of the past.

Kang De looked lovingly at the Autobot who was eating and drinking.

The .22 sports bullet was simply useless to him, but when the child saw this thing, he was very happy, because the structure principle of the bullets was the same. The difference in power was only the amount of charge. Although the power of the .22 bullet was very small, it had a way to break it down and reorganize it to create a stronger large-caliber bullet.

This was clearly a delicate job.

Enchanted bullets were also delicate work…

The dream of humans was to let machines work for them!

In any case, enchantment only used elements to draw complicated array diagrams, just like laser carving. When Kang De returned to the white fog world, he also absorbed the mixed elements in the white fog and successfully transmitted them to the Autobot. In other words, the Autobot could absorb the elements, or at least the elements transmitted from Kang De.

There was also a high chance that he could use these elements…

In other words, if he’s in charge of extracting the fire elements, would it be able to help him produce fire bullets by transmitting and completing the enchantment diagram of the Flame Roar drawn by CAD?

At this moment, the Autobot suddenly shivered.

God knew why he felt cold when he was clearly a mechanical lifeform and his face was not covered in liquid nitrogen.

He looked up uneasily and saw his father’s kind gaze.

“…Father.” The Autobot hesitated, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Kang De said gently, “It’s fine. I’m happy to see you eating well. Eat more, eat more, and make sure you’re full. You can have as much as you want. Only when you’re full can you have the strength to 996… I mean work hard.”

The Autobot became even more uneasy.

Although he had just been born and was ignorant, he still had sharp intuition. As a lifeform that had been personally awakened by his father, he had a full understanding of his creator… For example, now, when his father displayed extremely deliberate kindness to him, it could basically be interpreted as ill intentions.

It could not be said to be malice, but it definitely had to be evil.

—Do you think I ate too much?

The Autobot felt uneasy. He put down the half-empty bucket of gasoline and said, “Father, I’ll use my actions to prove my value. I won’t let you feed me for nothing.”

When Kang De heard this, his smile became even brighter.

What a good son…

He smiled and said, “We’re all family. Don’t be so calculative and distinguish so clearly. The so-called family is you helping me and me helping you, right?”

“…”

The Autobot did not know what to do and sighed that he was thinking too much. It was really wrong to suspect his father. He was very touched and said, “Yes, Father is right. As a family, we have to help each other.”

Kang De smiled even more happily. He said, “Child…”

“I’m here.”

His kind and gentle father asked, “What do you think of the name Kong Ming?”

“…”

“What about Doctor?”

“…”

“I think, why don’t you stop calling me father and let’s be brothers?”

“…Father, don’t be like this,” the Autobot stammered. “I’m a little, a little afraid.”

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. How can I harm you if you call me father? Even if you do something you can’t understand for a moment, you have to remember that I’m doing this for your own good…”

Kang De said earnestly, “Because you’re young and too simple now. You have to improve yourself. Learn more, work harder, exercise more, work harder…”

The Autobot was indeed naive. At this moment, he was tongue-tied and did not know how to deal with it. He only nodded slowly.

Kang De changed the topic, “You said earlier that you can only do some simple processing now and need more blueprints and knowledge to upgrade, right?”

The Autobot nodded in a daze. “…Yes, yes.”

Kang De touched his chin with a serious expression. He indeed looked like a father who was considering buying a tutorial for his child. He thought for a moment and said, “At least a portion of the things you need can be found on the Internet. I can get them when I return to Earth.”

“The question is, how can I give it to you? Do you want me to print it out for you to see?”

The Autobot smiled when he heard this, “Father, my previous self was a modern creation, so I also have a certain data storage and processing function…”

He stretched out his hand and opened his palm, revealing a USB port. “The USB drive is fine.”

Kang De revealed a surprised and happy expression and clapped, “Impressive!”

The Autobot had just been born. Sometimes, it was too young and did not know that there was a word in this world called hypocrisy, nor did it know that there was a type of praise called politeness. He blushed and said, “It’s nothing.”

Without a word, Kang De took out his laptop from his backpack and opened it. He took out a USB flash drive from his bag. “Although I don’t have any blueprint information on my computer, I have another relatively simple blueprint and homework. Do you want to try it and practice?”

The Autobot was completely unaware of his upcoming fate. He nodded and said, “Sure.”

“Come, I’ll pass you the USB drive and teach you how to do it…”
