He was a seasoned veteran, having navigated the ups and downs of life for years. Even with a subtle unease gnawing at him, he managed to play his part flawlessly, hosting a lively and successful celebration.

Nothing untoward happened until the banquet concluded.

Black Beard finally let out a sigh of relief upon returning to the internal quarters of the Wolf's Den staff.

Finally, safety!

The robot exhibition concluded swiftly amidst the lingering fascination of all the visitors. As dawn broke, every single robot vanished without a trace, and the venue was completely transformed; the exhibition hall bore no resemblance to how it looked when the robots were on display.

The mecha exhibition—everything was forged from steel beams and metal plates, even the customer service personnel had been replaced by mecha service units, uniformly shaped like crows...

The primary visitors for this exhibition were entirely different from those who attended the robot show.

Attendees of the robot exhibition, whether experts or novices, could feast their eyes regardless of age—from centenarians to three-year-olds could operate them.

Mechas were vastly different from robots; they demanded the discerning eye of an insider.

The Wolf's Den had been developing at an astonishing pace recently, and many were eager to probe their true depth. Developers and purchasers from various legions and conglomerates were watching closely, charging into the exhibition hall the moment the doors opened.

At the entrance to the exhibition hall, two metal conveyor belts flanked the sides. Airships slid out in sequence from within, stopping before the visitors for their use.

The crowd was immense.

The stream of airships was endless.

Some visitors stared at the metallic wall, dozens of meters high, flanking the entry gates, their minds starting to race. "Something's not right. Why are there so many airships? Is the area behind that wall completely filled with them?"

The curiosity of everyone present was piqued.

It was indeed peculiar.

The number of airships dispatched was nearly equal to the entire fleet held by the small legions, yet the supply line continued. They couldn't help but wonder how many airships the space station actually possessed.

Most of them were quite capable, and someone immediately activated a detector, aiming it at the metal.

The metal was merely a thin layer of Tritanium alloy. Since there were no specific anti-detection measures in place, the person who scanned it gasped, "Behind this metal wall is a large transport vessel. The Wolf's Den has quite the outlay."

A ripple of astonishment went through the surrounding crowd.

The customer service mecha at the entrance broadcasted an announcement: "Following the Mecha Exhibition will be the Wolf's Den grand finale: the Warship Exhibition. If you are interested in the Wolf's Den warships, feel free to come and admire them anytime; all our staff welcome you, dear ones."

Only then did everyone recall the main agenda and hurried onto the airships, flying toward the exhibition hall.

The overall standard of Wolf's Den mechas was considered average in the interstellar community, primarily due to the upgraded energy plates. Thanks to the sheer power of these plates, the Wolf's Den mechas had demonstrably risen an entire tier in capability.

Of course, this wasn't the crucial part.

Because the Angelic Domain had launched this powerful energy plate half a year prior, and currently, three manufacturers across the galaxy could independently develop and produce it; the Wolf's Den possessing one was not surprising.

What was truly rare was the mecha cockpit.

The inclusion of a self-repair system in the cockpit had elevated the overall level of the mecha by a full three tiers.

One could never have too much of this kind of life-saving equipment.

But the real shock was yet to come.

When visitors entered the mecha exhibition hall, they accidentally discovered, positioned prominently in the very center of the hall, a mecha so striking it was the White Horse they had seen during the opening ceremony—the one with immense white wings!

Holy crap!

This was the unspoken sentiment of countless people.

The most terrifying thing was that the White Horse could change its form at will. When its wings were spread, the horse form stood only a little over ten meters tall. When the wings retracted and it morphed into a humanoid shape, it suddenly transformed into a humanoid mecha towering over twenty meters high.

The transition from horse form to humanoid form took less than thirty seconds.

The military reporters' eyes nearly shot out like bullets, and as soon as they could speak, they couldn't suppress an aria of praise: "This will absolutely become a major revolution in the mecha world! So magnificent, I can hardly believe my eyes!"

Before the Wolf's Den had even activated its sales platform, countless people flooded forward to ask: "How much is this mecha?"

In a single day, the mecha customer service received this question no less than a million times.

As the Wolf's Den mecha spokesperson, Yun Lan accepted the reporters' interviews with a smiling composure: "You will know the answer to that question when the sales platform goes live."

The reporters pressed relentlessly: "When will the sales platform go live?"

Yun Lan replied: "In two days."

Consequently, everyone waited with bated breath for the sales platform two days later. Their eagerness surpassed even the urgency of waiting for a groom to bring his bride into their new home.

Amidst the public anticipation, the sales platform launched exactly on schedule.

However, the moment many saw the platform, several short-tempered individuals immediately erupted in curses: "Damn it, why isn't the White Horse mecha listed?"

Having waited to the point of madness, they became enraged, brandishing their fists, ready to fight.

Halley, the chief supervisor of the mecha exhibition, received the news and reported his distress to Zi Ye: "What if they tear down the sales platform?"

Zi Ye countered with a question instead of an answer: "If they tear down the sales platform, what will you do?"

Halley choked, "I—I won't give them the chance to do so."

Zi Ye smiled sweetly, "Good boy, that is the best solution."

Halley sighed, "If I had known this kind of problem would arise..."

Zi Ye interjected, "You never intended to display that mecha at all, did you?" She slowly raised her glass to toast Tang Wan beside her, drained the tea in one gulp, smiled again, and continued, "Our goal was simply to let them see it, let them touch it, but never let them have it."

"You two are truly wicked," Tang Wan remarked, adding, "It's a good thing I'm on your side."

Zi Ye chuckled, then spoke to Halley via the comms: "Our objective is achieved. Go ahead and turn the mecha into a white metallic sphere and place it in its spot as decoration."

Halley had no choice but to comply.

Tang Wan asked, "Aren't you afraid Bai Lanxue will come to snatch it?"

The fundamental purpose of exhibiting this mecha was to attract Bai Lanxue.

A small trinket wouldn't capture Bai Lanxue's attention; exhibiting this mecha was intended to ensure she made a move. This mecha was precisely the Renwei mecha that Zi Ye usually piloted.

The wings and other modifications were achieved by extracting key substances from Little Sprout's baba, fusing those substances with Neo-Silver Supermetal, Yin Xiao Stone, Supernova Zircon Ore, and other white metals, effectively adding wings to the Renwei mecha and doubling its size to achieve the effect seen at the exhibition.

Zi Ye stated, "Bai Lanxue won't make a move now. Their focus is currently on the whereabouts of the mecha and how they might acquire this model."

Tang Wan inquired, "Where do you get such confidence?"

Zi Ye smiled: "The robot exhibition already opened her eyes, and the mecha exhibition gave her a massive shock. She will certainly be even more expectant for the upcoming warship exhibition. Before she sees the warships, she won't pay such a high price for just one mecha."

In short, they were leading Bai Lanxue step-by-step, drawing her into the trap!
