"Uncle, can you give me one? Just a small one, a model of a flying vehicle, please!"
Allen, a fifteen-year-old boy with a pitiful look, blinked his big, watery blue eyes and pleaded, "Uncle, just give me a small one. If not, I can trade you an Energy Crystal Mine! I have one at home!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Kai had already intended to compensate the boy, realizing he had gone a bit overboard. Giving him a smaller version wouldn't take much effort either.
However, upon hearing about the Energy Crystal Mine, his eyes lit up, and he adopted a more negotiable tone. "Don't worry, I'll buy it from you. How about a model of a flying vehicle plus one hundred robots?"
"Robots?" Allen was somewhat tempted.
He knew just how powerful a robot's energy could be, especially in this Dimension where the precision of rune engraving was far superior to manual work. Coupled with the weapon manufacturing data in his Quantum Intelligence Core, he figured he could quickly build a batch of armaments!
With a strong military force, what did he have to worry about!?
If worse came to worst, he could rise up and become a hero in chaotic times; who knows, he might even play at being an emperor!
As the old saying goes, "Are kings and nobles born with their status?"
Damn it, let's do this!
After all, there was no going back. He might as well work hard in this world and achieve something great to bring honor to Transmigrators!
"Uncle, could we exchange some technical data as well? You know how it is—being in a foreign land without a powerful backing or military strength can be quite difficult!"
Allen came from a prominent family, but he had never been fond of scheming and intrigue. However, after his soul was transported to this new world, he suddenly realized just how dangerous it truly was. Thus, he immediately racked his brain to find ways to improve his living conditions and ensure his safety.
But he wasn't foolish. He knew that although this uncle seemed amiable, the "Aerial Battleship" he mentioned was not just a ship; it was an entire fleet.
Even a single type of fleet was beyond what his current family could contend with!
Instead of hiding and playing tricks, it would be better to be straightforward and simply ask for what he needed. He didn't require much—just a workshop capable of maintaining a type of robot would suffice.
He truly wasn't greedy.
"How about an exchange?"
To be honest, Ye Kai was feeling somewhat heartfelt as well.
If he could nurture this kid and establish a super fortress here as a base, it might not be a bad idea!
Just imagine the various battleships, aircraft, and powerful beings clashing—it could be quite a spectacle!
"How about this? Let's collaborate. You can invest in the Energy Crystal Mine, and we can jointly develop this world. What do you think?" Ye Kai thought this was a golden opportunity and had no doubt the kid would agree.
"Really?"
Allen exclaimed with great joy, excitement bubbling over as he said, "No problem! I'll make the decision right now. From this moment on, the Energy Crystal Mine belongs to you, Uncle! I'm not greedy; just give me half the profits!"
Half the profits?
Ye Kai raised an eyebrow, feeling increasingly fond of this young man. Although he appeared quite immature at the moment, he had a good understanding of the bigger picture, possessed insight, and knew the value of sacrifice. More importantly, this young man had boundless potential!
With the support of the Quantum Intelligence Core, all he needed was an opportunity, and he would undoubtedly rise quickly.
Whether pursuing the path of a wizard or combining science with magic, as long as he focused in the early stages and maintained stability, he would surely grow to SS rank in the later stages!
Watching the young man rush off to discuss matters with his father, Ye Kai couldn't help but smile and think to himself, was he not essentially playing "Otherworld SS Fast-Track Training Class"?
He wasn't worried at all that Bari, the Big Bear, would refuse. Despite his rugged appearance resembling a barren desert, when it came to shrewdness, he would easily outsmart Allen.
Such a straightforward matter, and a guaranteed profitable deal at that—how could he possibly refuse?

"I was thinking..."
After organizing his thoughts, Ye Kai activated three projections for Bari and Allen. "Based on the geographical environment of this area, I propose we build the base inside that large mountain behind the castle, effectively constructing it within the Mountain System."
He then pointed towards a massive lake several dozen kilometers away and gestured towards the continuous mountain range nearby. "This location is also quite useful. I observed that this large lake has abundant drinking water and food sources. Establishing our base within the mountains will help us avoid detection."
"Building the base inside the Mountain Body? Uncle, why do you have such an idea?" Allen asked curiously, astonished by the enormity of such an undertaking.
Ye Kai glanced at Bari, who looked utterly confused, and decided to ignore him. He directly explained to Allen, "I don't know if you've noticed, but the rocks on that mountain emit a peculiar infrared wave. According to my technical team’s research, it can effectively block sonar detection and Artificial Satellite scans. This way, the chances of our military base being discovered will be significantly reduced."
"Wow! I had no idea such a thing existed! This is my first time hearing about it!" Allen exclaimed in shock.
"But digging into the Mountain Body, that must be a massive project, especially since we need to establish a secret base inside the Mountain Body!" Bari finally snapped back to reality. The idea of building a base within the Mountain Body was simply fantastic!
Although he didn't understand everything else, Bari could at least be certain of one thing: the Montague Family was truly on the verge of rising.
However, for Ye Kai, this was hardly a concern. With a relaxed expression, he said to Bari, "Don't worry, partner. It might take some time, but it should only be a matter of months. My Heavy Construction Robots are all equipped with powerful firepower."
Allen's eyes lit up again. With that in mind, he suddenly remembered that as long as there were explosives and heavy-duty weapons, breaking through the mountains could be much simpler.
"That's great! After all, those mountains belong to the Montague Family. If those heavy robots are equipped with weaponry, then we can let them use their own weapons to dig into the Mountain Body. It will be much easier." Thinking of this made Allen smile with relief.
This was truly amazing!
Even though his son seemed to have transformed into a different person overnight, Bari still felt familiar with him. Moreover, he had already tested it through special means and confirmed that his son was still his son.
Though it sounded awkward, it genuinely allowed Bari to relax completely.
If he couldn't understand it, then he wouldn't think about it. As long as he was his biological son, that was enough. Let him do as he wished!
The Montague Family had been passed down for nine generations; in his own generation, the lineage almost faced extinction. Terrified, he had never dared to let his son roam freely again. Yet unexpectedly, after just going out for a hunt, he brought back such a powerful partner!
Truly a blessing for the Montague Family!
Looking at the two still engrossed in conversation, Bari smiled and quietly left the study. He should go prepare dinner!
Ye Kai felt a mix of envy and melancholy towards Allen.
After all, he once had parents who loved him dearly.
He pondered what it was that made him view Allen in a different light.
Were they both compatriots from Huaxia?
Perhaps!
And his father was also a significant factor!
Never mind, never mind, he thought.
He decided to focus on how to establish a stronghold while developing this Dimensional World, and to complete the mission as quickly as possible.
After all, the current situation had changed somewhat. If his earlier assumptions were correct, then the Spatial Passage could very well become a ticking time bomb, and he needed to know when it would explode.
