Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Actually, the Bureau Chief’s mood was quite good today. His boss personally inviting Hong Dali for a meal, after the meal, whatever the situation, Hong Dali would be considered to be his boss’ favored person. If this was the ancient times, their relationship would be like Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin, Wu Zetian and Xue Huaiyi, Kang Xi and Wei Xiaobao, Qian Long and He Shen 1...
But this little rascal was seeking death. He actually asked for the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, that’s 108 dishes! If his boss knew about this, he would skin Hong Dali alive!
“Little rascal, do you believe that I am going to strangle you to death!” The Bureau Chief angrily jumped on his feet. “Do you actually know who you are going to be eating with? Do you actually have any idea!?”
“Who I am eating with?” Hong Dali grinned and said, “It’s fine as long as he’s human, why would I be concerned with his exact identity?”
Seeing Hong Dali’s crafty-eyed expression, the Bureau Chief knew that he was pretending not to understand. He chided. “When you meet him, watch your mouth. Do what you should do and don’t do what you shouldn’t do, you hear me?”
“So many rules...” Hong Dali twitched his lips. “Isn’t it just a meal? Relax, nothing will happen!”
Although Hong Dali said that nothing would happen, why did the Bureau Chief had an uneasy feeling about it?
...
Merika.
Being a super sci-fi lover, Peter was extremely excited today.
The Young Master over at Heavenly State came up with the Mechanical Man, this caused Peter to be so excited that he didn’t sleep properly for a few days. His thinking was very simple—as long as he liked it, it was enough. As for what the appearance of the Mechanical Man would represent—those were issues that the military had to worry about, what had it got to do with him?
Once he got out of bed today, Peter immediately turned on the computer, searching for the latest news about the Mechanical Man.
But very quickly, a video on Merika’s largest video-sharing website, YouTob, completely attracted his eyes.
The headline was very direct—”Merika’s latest weapon exposed, Heavenly State has the Mechanical Man, we have the Iron Warrior!”
Iron Warrior!
Seeing this headline, Peter became totally excited. Their Merika had also developed an Iron Warrior!?
Excitedly clicking into the video, Peter eagerly watched on.
The shooting was done very simply, looking like a video taken by an amateur using a phone. The location should be at one of Merika’s airbases—there were quite a lot of new-modeled fighter jets around. Of course, that wasn’t the main focus. The main focus was a Merika warrior that looked quite similar to Hong Dali’s Mechanical Man!
That Merika warrior wore an iron armor, only exposing his face, and was talking to a few soldiers. Of course, the video was taken too far away, it was unsure what he was saying.
Luckily, very quickly, the Merika warrior used his hand to pull down his mask and covered his face. Then, with both hand raised, he aimed at a tank parked about 30 meters away. Seeing this, Peter’s eyes went big. Could this Iron Warrior be preparing to blast that tank!?
As expected, a faint light came from the Iron Warrior’s raised hands and grew stronger and stronger. Shortly later, the light suddenly erupted and a blue-white light ray shot towards the tank.
BOOM!
After the light ray hit the tank, the whole body of the tank was burned red and with a blast, it exploded, turning into shattered bits.
“This... Is this... Is this real!?” Peter was stunned. Merika had an Iron Warrior that didn’t lose out to Mechanical Man!? This... This was totally...
“Hahaha!” Peter was so excited that he jumped. “Our country has an Iron Warrior too now!”

“Well done.” Itra looked at the video on his computer screen, laughed, and said, “It’s only an afternoon’s time and there’s already 10 million-plus downloads, and the number of viewers has even exceeded 50 million.”
James stood respectful at one side, smiled, and said, “You flatter me, Chief Itra. Computer effects are our specialty in the first place. Making such a low-quality video is even simpler. I believe that with this video, the Mechanical Man won’t be as sensational now.”
“Yup. Haha, with this, we can better negotiate with Heavenly State now!” Itra excitedly licked his lips. “Publicize this matter continuously, let its influence spread to Heavenly State! Once the people there know that we have this thing too, we shall contact their foreign affairs minister!”
“Of course, Chief Itra.” James gentlemanly bowed and said, “Then, with regards to the ‘Magic Age’ box office...”
“Easy. I will let the special forces take a break and all go watch this movie.” Itra expressed that there wasn’t any need to worry about that. “Also, I will ask all the people from different sectors to help out, too. I think they will be very willing to help you.”
“That’s good. I shall take my leave, then.”
“Goodbye.”
...
8 PM that night. The Iron Warrior video’s download count exceeded 30 million, and the number of viewers exceeded 100 million. All Merika citizens knew that Merika had made their own Iron Warrior, too.
Then, a debate was sparked about who was the stronger one between the Mechanical Man and the Iron Warrior.
...
While people at Merika was cheering, this video was spread over to Heavenly State too, appearing on all the major video-sharing websites. After publicization by some people with special intentions, this video spread like wildfire and rose to rank number one on the charts!
The headline was—”Mechanical Man’s in danger, Iron Warrior appeared in Merika!”
...
By 8 AM the next day, this became the hottest topic in the entire Heavenly State. The debate of who was stronger appeared on all the major social media—Xinhai Weibo, Turkey Messenger, Sangle, etc.
Turkey Software, between friends and families—
“What the heck, did you see that Iron Warrior video? It’s so cool! I wonder whether he’s stronger than Young Master’s Mechanical Man.”
“I saw it. The tank was completely gone with one blast, incredible! Although Young Master’s Mechanical Man is very strong too, I feel that the Iron Warrior seemed a little stronger.”
“That’s right. Merika’s technology is really powerful, they managed to develop the Iron Warrior so fast after the Mechanical Man appeared. It’s no wonder that their technology is always in the lead, they really have the capability.”
“I wonder if the Young Master is able to win him. It would be great if the Mechanical Man can have a battle with the Iron Warrior...”
Xinhai Weibo—
A New Name: “Young Master is in danger, the Mechanical Man has met a strong rival! The Iron Warrior destroyed a tank with one blast!”
Doing Somersaults Naked in the Snow: “The Iron Warrior doesn’t seem to lose to the Mechanical Man. It’s really dangerous now, we are unable to be in the lead again!”
I Am Eating Ham: “Press on, Young Master. I believe that the Mechanical Man is the best! This die-hard fan will always support Young Lord!”

Small genius Wen Wen looked at the Iron Warrior in the video and called for her two suitors. “Ah, quick, come and look at this. Merika actually made an Iron Warrior too, and it doesn’t seem to be any weaker than Young Master’s Mechanical Man!”
Her two suitors looked at the video meticulously and resolutely nodded. “That’s true, it does seem quite powerful! Young Master has really met his match this time!”
...
2 PM in the afternoon, the Merika military opened a press conference.
At the conference, the Defense Minister made an important speech.
Firstly, Merika’s military technology was definitely not weaker than the Heavenly State’s, maybe even stronger. The Heavenly State had Mechanical Man, Merika had Iron Warrior too. Currently, from experts’ analysis, Iron Warrior wasn’t any weaker than Mechanical Man. He wished that the Merikans would rest their minds, their military would be able to protect their safety perfectly.
Secondly, the technology for the Iron Warrior still had a few minor flaws, so they wished that Heavenly State would let go of their differences and share their technology so that both the Mechanical Man and the Iron Warrior would become more perfect.
Once these two pieces of news were released, they instantly got on the headlines and covers of all the newspapers, magazines, and news websites.
Because of this, the popularity of the Iron Warrior video continued to rise.
...
4 PM in the afternoon, large groups of people flooded into Merika’s military forum, hoping that they would release more information regarding the Iron Warrior. The spokesperson for the military expressed that for the peace of humanity, the creation of the Iron Warrior would be limited. At the same time, he also expressed that the Iron Warrior was already enough to protect the world’s peace because the military was researching into a new energy system now. If they succeeded, the Iron Warrior would be able to fly.
Merika citizens’ enthusiasm was totally ignited. Then, very quickly, a post saying that the Iron Warrior would be able to fly also appeared on the Internet at Heavenly State.
...
As the hype about the Iron Warrior carried on, at 8 PM that night, Jaban State’s ambassador and Merika’s ambassador secretly entered Heavenly State’s department of foreign affairs. A secret meeting between the three started...
