Chapter 620

As for the quantity, there were only six units, because he didn't need them at all, so he was too lazy to forge them.

If he hurried, ten units would not be a big problem.

"Okay, but time is limited. I can make at most ten cannon vehicles, and if I control them, the combined firing power of the ten cannon vehicles will be no less than a full-strength blow of an early seventh-rank."

"Okay, what about the super soldiers?" Ji Xia nodded and asked about the abilities of the super soldiers.

"Powerful attack and defense capabilities, poor mobility, and slow attack frequency, but the defensive performance can withstand the attacks of seventh-rank powerhouses. As for the attack, it only has the strength of the sixth rank. You can refer to siege equipment."

"That's also very good. How many are there?"

"One?"

Not to mention Ji Xia, even Li Chang'an and the three of Iron Fist couldn't help but frown.

This was too few.

There should be at least seven or eight units.

Lin Cheng could vaguely guess something from their unanimous expressions!

"Please, I'm just a blacksmith, not a prophet. Besides, I don't intend to sell these, so naturally, I didn't craft many."

"Even this one is a sample on my display cabinet, and I still have to perfect it. You should be content."

Li Chang'an had to face reality. Even if she rushed to make them now, it would probably be too late. Not everyone could have such abnormal talent like Lin Cheng.

"Then Prince... the plan is for us to go and support?" Ji Xia looked at Li Chang'an to confirm again.

"No... okay, it seems there are no other better ideas." Li Chang'an looked around helplessly, having to admit that this was the most reliable method she had heard so far. "Can I still try the Divine Might General? But he may not necessarily send troops."

If Wu Wu Hongtian refused to send troops, she seemed to have no way.

She could only be prepared for the other side not sending troops.

Even so, their manpower was really too small. If there could be more, it would be better. Unfortunately, this was just Li Chang'an's wishful thinking.

Afterward, the three discussed the details and the specific departure time, which was set for three days later. As a price, Li Chang'an had to pay Lin Cheng a commission, which could be paid in rare materials. Whether he was satisfied would depend on Lin Cheng's assessment.

Very helpless, but there was no way. Currently, Li Chang'an could only ask Lin Cheng, who could create miracles, for help.

"Thank you very much for General Ji Xia's help. Can I talk to Master Lin Cheng alone for a while later?" Li Chang'an's words clearly hinted at Ji Xia.

"Oh, okay, you guys talk, I'll go back to the shop and get busy." After saying that, Ji Xia left directly.

Li Chang'an also gave a hint with her eyes to her three subordinates. The three understood and left the room one after another, but waited outside the door.

"Master Lin Cheng, you shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?" With only the two of them left in the room, Li Chang'an let go a bit, and her gaze swept directly over Lin Cheng.

"Hmm, once a descendant of nobility." Lin Cheng admitted it generously!

Facing Li Chang'an's unscrupulous gaze.

"I'm not talking about Master Lin Cheng's background, but Master Lin Cheng's ability!" Li Chang'an emphasized the tone of these two words.

"Hmm, self-taught." Lin Cheng shamelessly admitted it again, and then looked at Li Chang'an as usual.

"Hmm, and then?"

He did have a system, but this thing was something the natives couldn't understand.

What did Lin Cheng hear?

A dignified Prince actually spoke vulgar words. Was this appropriate? This was not good. Young people should speak with virtue!

So, Lin Cheng immediately gave some good advice.

"Why? Are you not convinced?"

For some reason, Li Chang'an suddenly felt her right hand trembling uncontrollably, very much wanting to pick up the teacup and throw it at Lin Cheng's face, but she was suppressed by her own reason.

Lin Cheng didn't know why, but he just felt that the guy in front of him was inexplicably annoying, so arrogant that he didn't even want to say his own name.

Even if you are a Prince, so what? I have the Blacksmith Guild behind me, and the Second Prince Li Li Jian. What can you do to me?

Blehh.

"Let's get straight to the point." Li Chang'an was really afraid that if she continued to talk to Lin Cheng like this, she would be unable to resist letting the three of Iron Fist beat him to death.

"Do you know about transmigrators?"

Instantly, Lin Cheng's lazy appearance became upright. His gaze was sharp, and after looking at Li Chang'an meaningfully, he shook his head. "Don't know."

"Hey, you clearly already know with that look, right? Is there any need to pretend?"

Li Chang'an suddenly had a feeling that her heart was very tired.

It was the first time she felt that communicating with people was so difficult. No, he wasn't a person at all.

"Spring sleep, not aware of dawn!"

Just as Li Chang'an was heartbroken, Lin Cheng suddenly attacked with words.

Li Chang'an answered instinctively.

"Everywhere mosquitoes bite!"

"At night, a big bear!"

"No one can escape."

That moment! The moment the two nodded, it was as if they had finally confirmed the look in each other's eyes!

The next second.

The two hugged each other.

"Brother!"

"Relative!"

"Finally found family."

These years I have been really too difficult. If I didn't have some luck, I might have died in the palace. A moment later, it was Li Chang'an who felt that men and women should not touch, so she pushed Lin Cheng away, her face slightly red.

Lin Cheng also seemed to have sensed something.

"You're acting strange!"

"How so?" Li Chang'an thought to herself, hoping the other party hadn't guessed her secret.

Should she just come out and say it?

Her face flushed red involuntarily.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng panicked even more.

What had he just smelled? A strange fragrance coming from the other person. But the person was a man, yet he was wearing such perfume and acting all shy.

Gulp...

Lin Cheng swallowed hard in fear.

"What?"

At first, Li Chang'an didn't react, but once she realized what Lin Cheng was saying, her face turned from a shy red to anger.

Hearing Li Chang'an's original voice, Lin Cheng gradually calmed down.

"Oh, why pretend to be a man for no reason, making people have wild thoughts? Even if you were pretending to be a man, nobody would spray perfume on themselves."

Lin Cheng’s snarky comment made Li Chang'an even more furious, and she splashed her tea right onto his face.

"What the... hell! Why are you suddenly going crazy?"

Hmph! Was she supposed to tell him this wasn't perfume, but her natural scent?

After finally wiping the water off his body, Lin Cheng decided to be the bigger person and let it slide.

"By the way, what are your abilities?"

Transmigrators always come with a golden finger; it is an eternal law of nature.

However, for Li Chang'an, this law might not quite apply—or perhaps it could.

"I am a princess, and I am very favored by my Imperial Father. Does that count?"

"That just means you have good luck and great reincarnation skills; it doesn't count as a golden finger at all... Don't you even have a system?"

Just as expected.

Li Chang'an felt helpless. She had thought that by reincarnating into another world, she could live the life of a 'Phoenix Overlord,' collecting beauties from all over the world. She even felt she could become a legendary Empress!

Yet the reality was that she had no talent, her cultivation aptitude was mediocre, and she didn't understand the rules of the harem, which led to her mother being killed by other concubines after giving birth to her.

Fortunately, the Emperor loved her mother dearly, and she inherited that affection, but it was only affection. As for golden fingers, systems, or heaven-defying talent, she had none.

Perhaps... she could only spend the rest of her life carefree.

She might be married off to some noble by her Imperial Father; she had accepted her fate over these years.

"Do you have one, then?"

"Of course. Call me 'Daddy,' and Daddy will take you to fly." Puffing out his chest and holding his head high, Lin Cheng almost cursed—they were kin.

He didn't even hide his pride on his face.

"Daddy, please let me cling to your thigh, please take me to fly."

"Damn, what happened to your dignity as an Imperial Princess?"

Looking at the Imperial Princess clinging to his leg, Lin Cheng suddenly felt it wasn't so great anymore. He had only wanted to show off.

"What use is dignity? I want to be a Phoenix Overlord! I want to have three thousand handsome men, and most importantly, I want to survive..." Li Chang'an sobbed to Lin Cheng.

"Do you know how I’ve lived these years? Do you know how dangerous it was living in the Imperial Palace before I came of age? Those concubines who gave birth to other princes all wanted me dead."

Li Chang'an held onto Lin Cheng’s leg, crying about the tragedies of these years. If she hadn't been cautious and meticulous, she would have been killed dozens of times over.

Don't let the fact that she was the Emperor's favorite daughter fool you; in reality, it was only a nominal favor. Because she was the only princess before, but now that she had come of age, the favor hardly reached her anymore.

In the years when Li Chang'an was growing up, other concubines also gave birth to princesses, and the Emperor's favor was no less for them than for anyone else.

This made her, a transmigrator, realize that the schemes and calculations in the Imperial Palace were as deep as the sea.

"Your Highness? Big sister?"

"Don't call me big sister. My name is Li Chang'an; before I transmigrated, my name was Li An. You can just call me An'an." Having poured out the bitterness in her heart, Li Chang'an gradually realized her disheveled state. She quickly sat up and tidied her appearance.

No matter how bad things were, she was still an Imperial Princess and had to maintain her dignity.

But precisely because she was an Imperial Princess, she had spent these years almost entirely alone. No one to confide in, the lonely, harsh winters made her shiver, and she often pondered what she should do. In the palace, even the maids who took care of her could betray her; she had to consider her own safety.

"Alright, An'an... you can just call me Lin Cheng, too. My original name sounds better."

"Alright, Lin Cheng."

Lin Cheng didn't stand on ceremony. After the two recognized each other and used their names, their relationship clearly grew closer, especially given their status as transmigrators, which allowed them to feel a rare sense of true kinship on this foreign continent.

If she had been born into an ordinary family, perhaps Li Chang'an wouldn't be so emotional, but the Imperial family was heartless; brothers could kill each other, and as a weak woman with no real ability—she had studied economics—she was helpless.

She had wanted to raise her status in the Emperor's heart, but she never had the opportunity.

"What is your ability? That golden finger?" Once they were familiar, Li Chang'an clearly opened up more and was curious about Lin Cheng's ability.
