Qin Huang, after careful consideration, ultimately did not accept Sha Zhenghai's proposal; he only agreed to consider it.

Although he was not clear about the background and origins of this unscrupulous teacher, he understood that owing him a favor was not something to be taken lightly. One day, he might inadvertently become the other party's indentured laborer, being exploited to the point of having nothing left!

Moreover, the old dog Xu Tingfeng was unaware of his relationship with Sha Zhenghai and did not know that he had already seen through his plot. Therefore, there would be no new moves in the short term!

Taking advantage of the information asymmetry, as long as he carefully planned, he might be able to deal with Xu Tingfeng on his own. Qin Huang always believed in the principle that "it's better to rely on oneself than to rely on others." He would never delegate a problem that he could solve himself.

"… Alright! Since you've made your decision, I won't say more." Sha Zhenghai said, "What do you plan to do next? Do you have any ideas?"

Qin Huang thought for a moment and said, "This mecha cannot be wasted! Fortunately, I still have some star coins in my account, so I can buy a batch of materials from you to comprehensively optimize and enhance these functional modules! What do you think?"

"Of course, no problem!"

Thus, over the next few days, Qin Huang continued to attend classes with a normal expression. When facing Xu Dezhi and the others, he did not show any unusual behavior. In his free time, he was completely immersed in Sha Zhenghai's laboratory.

Apart from replacing the problematic components through Sha Zhenghai's channels, he optimized and modified almost all the functional modules of the entire mecha to the best of his ability!

To fundamentally address the issues of the Gargoyle mecha's excessive weight and slow movement, Qin Huang painstakingly etched the entire body with source energy matrix patterns that had levitation field functions. This reduced the mecha's weight to only two-thirds of the standard model without activating the anti-gravity engine!

After the optimization and modification, the power module's output power was already close to the level of a Bronze Rank 2 mecha. The toughness of the energy shield increased by 20%, and the agility and mobility speed were 15% faster than the Void Hunter. The maximum range and sensitivity of the detection module also saw significant improvements...

In short, this Gargoyle Type 3 mecha, known for its robust defense, had been transformed by the young man's efforts into a high-attack, high-defense, high-speed, and highly mobile all-rounder war machine! Its overall combat power even surpassed the Bronze Rank 2 "Cloud Splitter Leopard" mecha. Even when facing the Bronze Rank 3 "Dragon Blood Titan," there was no need to be overly cautious.

Not to mention, when this mecha was combined with his own cultivation techniques, the destructive power it could unleash on the battlefield would become an indelible nightmare for the enemy!

By the time all the modifications were completed and the mecha was fine-tuned, nearly a million star coins in Qin Huang's account had been depleted, and he even owed Sha Zhenghai a debt.

Of course, this was not a problem. Now, his ID "Nebula Master" was gradually gaining a reputation on the photon network sales platform of Dinas Star. Any mecha parts he posted for sale were quickly snapped up, and he did not have to worry about a lack of buyers!

With a steady stream of business, the money came in quickly!

At the same time, he began to gather intelligence on Xu Tingfeng, including his personal preferences, living habits, financial status, interpersonal relationships, and his position and factions within the family.

With the full assistance of the hacker expert Wu Neng, the progress was smooth. After more than ten days, Qin Huang had obtained most of the information he needed.

"… The security measures inside the military academy are quite thorough, so any actions we take must be outside the school to avoid detection!" Wu Neng flipped through the data on his optical brain and said to him:

"According to observations, Xu has been embezzling and misusing the school's public resources for a long time! For example, he prematurely recycles equipment and weapons that have not yet reached their retirement period, or reports functional mecha spare parts as scrap, and actually resells them through black market channels to underground organizations!"

"From this alone, he earns several million star coins annually! Additionally, he has been squeezing and withholding the students' cultivation resources, and has unclear relationships with some female students. These are just the parts we can investigate! What other illegal activities he engages in secretly, we do not know!"

Wu De asked, "What should we do now? Should we directly report him to the school authorities?"

Qin Huang pondered and said, "This guy wouldn't dare to act so recklessly without a backing! If the news leaks prematurely, it will likely backfire and expose us!"

"Besides, even if it has an effect, these things alone won't be enough to bring him down. If someone vouches for him, the final result will likely be a dead end!"

He knew very well that there was no room for compromise with a greedy, treacherous, and shameless person like Xu Tingfeng. If he did not act, it would be fine, but once he did, it would be a matter of life and death! Therefore, he could not act rashly without sufficient confidence.

"Since this approach is not feasible, we can only resort to force!" Wu Neng continued:

"According to my observations, Xu secretly keeps two mistresses outside and visits them quietly every month. This is the best opportunity for us to act!"

Qin Huang's eyes lit up, and he said, "This plan is indeed feasible. Let's discuss it in detail…"

Although the plan sounded good, the actual execution was not easy. Xu Tingfeng was always cautious and had a fifth-stage source energy cultivation. He usually carried a gun. To kill him, they had to succeed when he was completely off guard.

After much discussion, they finally came up with a relatively feasible plan, including various possible variables and corresponding strategies. They then began to prepare separately.

...

"… Sister, what do you think Qin Huang's background is? His strength is so unreasonable, it's like that mysterious hermit on the internet, both of them are quite mysterious!"

In the bedroom, on the soft and luxurious large bed, Yuan Beibei nudged Cheng Shuhan, who was browsing the internet, and asked with some confusion.

Cheng Shuhan said indifferently, "It's not just like, but there is a high possibility that they are the same person!"

"The same person?" Yuan Beibei's face changed slightly, and she asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

"Even if not absolutely, there's a 60-70% chance!" Cheng Shuhan put down her mini optical brain, stretched lazily, and the thin nightgown suddenly tightened, outlining her beautiful curves, with her firm and round chest exposed.

Yuan Beibei immediately became excited and shook her cousin's arm, saying, "Then doesn't that mean his cultivation techniques are extraordinary! And his background is not simple?"

"I told you! Looking at him, he doesn't seem to come from a small family. He must have a significant background, maybe even higher than ours!"

Cheng Shuhan playfully tapped her head, "Even if that's true, what does it have to do with you? He's not your boyfriend!"

Yuan Beibei's face turned red, "Sister, you're teasing me again. I'm just curious!"

"Curious is fine!" Cheng Shuhan rolled her eyes, pulled the blanket over her, and said lazily, "If you want to get close to him, I must remind you not to try to pry into his secrets. If you anger him, you might not only lose a friend but also your life!"

"Hmph! Who said I want to get close to him? I just…" Yuan Beibei unhappily pinched her, and then also climbed into the bed.

The intelligent optical brain automatically turned off the light, and the luxurious bedroom gradually fell into darkness. After a moment, the two women's whispers slowly faded away.

...

In the office of the logistics department head.

"The matter is settled!" Xu Tingfeng sipped the tea in the blue-and-white porcelain cup leisurely and said to Xu Dezhi, "That kid is already in the trap. Just wait for the good news!"

Xu Dezhi was still somewhat worried, "That guy has always had good luck. If he notices something, it might…"

Xu Tingfeng sneered and said, "Don't worry! I set up a death trap for him, and even used my connections in the federal capital! Unless he is a senior expert in mecha manufacturing and has advanced technical detection methods, there's only a slim chance he could see through it!"

"Good to hear that!" Xu Dezhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "A mere poor kid from a humble background, how can he possibly compete with us?"

Xu Tingfeng chuckled, put down his teacup, and stood up, walking a few steps in the office with his hands behind his back, then said slowly,

"In about half a month, it will be the joint exercise day of the federal military academies. At that time, all the students in the class will be deployed to a primitive planet for wilderness survival training and live combat exercises! That kid is quite capable, but let's see if he can survive and come back alive!"

Xu Dezhi said happily, "He will definitely die there! But there are still Yuan Beibei and Tan Qiping. My nephew…"

Xu Tingfeng shook his head and sighed, "Both of these students have complicated backgrounds. It's not possible to use the same method to plot against them, so I can only help you so much!"

"To enter the Federal Central Military Academy, intrigue and trickery are just minor tactics. The key is still one's true abilities! The family has decided to increase resource investment in you, so you must seize the opportunity."

"Nephew, I am confident. My source energy index is already the highest in the class!" Xu Dezhi said with a smile, "As long as Qin Huang is dead, I can definitely secure one of the three admission slots for this class!"

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "The gift I promised you last time will be delivered to you soon! Hehe…"
