No Money to Build a Mech? No Worries, I Will Help

"Shocking! Rising superstar Zhou Chuchu was spotted having a secret meeting with a suspected scammer at a villa. Is this true or not? We hope the two goddesses can respond." In just a few minutes, this super eye-catching hot topic quickly pushed aside other trending topics and made its way to the top ten headlines, causing a heated discussion among netizens. Netizens speculated about what kind of scumbag could deceive two A-list national goddesses, not only swindling their fortunes but also exposing their secret meetings. Zhou Chuchu: Xiao Yuyao, I'm sorry. I don't have much money left. This is all I can give you. I hope you won't be disappointed. Yang Mimi: You really are a gold digger. You spent all the money from my last pay so quickly. Well, all my money is here. Take it. Suddenly, Xiao Yuyao had a thought, and a cold light flashed. A dark-colored hilt appeared in his hand, with a faint blue light shining at the center of the hilt, seemingly an energy cube for storing power. Buzz. The hilt made a buzzing sound, and a bright white energy beam formed at the front end, condensing into a sword-like shape under everyone's gaze. The unstable slight fluctuations of the beam quickly stabilized, forming a unique lightsaber with a freely adjustable form. It was about one meter long with a 10-centimeter-wide blade of light, and its power was yet to be determined. Xiao Yuyao tilted his head to look at the lightsaber, something extremely cool that only appeared in science fiction movies and was possessed by the protagonist. He lightly swung it, a smirk appearing on his lips. A cold voice resounded from above: "Energy storage remaining: 99%. Stability: 80%."

Xiao Yuyao wasn't aware of the commotion outside, nor did he want to know.

He was busy focusing on his laser gun. According to his recent theory and research method, he would be able to make the laser gun successfully. 

Each part needed to be inserted in a very precise angle, so he couldn't be careless. He put his whole heart and soul into it.

Zhou Chuchu saw that Xiao Yuyao was already in the middle of something important, so she helped him wherever she could.

She was getting better at being a helper. Sometimes, she didn't even need Xiao Yuyao to say anything and she would know what tool to pass him.

With a simple glance, she handed the right tool to him.

Xiao Yuyao was very satisfied.

In the middle of production, an accident occurred, causing a temporary pause in their work.

This made Xiao Yuyao a little unhappy, but Zhou Chuchu comforted him, "It was just an accident. It's not a big problem. Let's start over."

Xiao Yuyao nodded. He took a deep breath and started again.

He was so sure that he would succeed the second time. According to his calculations, there would not be any problems moving forward.

While the two of them were busy working inside, the outside world was bustling with news.

The people from the research institute were shocked when Xiao Yuyao said he had a new ongoing invention that was going to be released soon. They didn't expect Xiao Yuyao to produce something new so quickly.

It had only been a short time before a new product was released!

At the same time, they were also guessing what kind of product it was. What they wanted to know the most was whether they could go over and take a look.

Moreover, this kind of visit could improve their scientific research level.

Hence, those researchers kept bombarding Zhou Chuchu's private message platform.

Of course, this action was naturally discovered by some netizens and caused backlash.

The only one who could make that many big shots grovel was Xiao Yuyao.

Although the big shots knew what they were doing, they had no choice.

As long as they could watch the development process up close, they would agree to any conditions.

Still, there were some live streaming platforms and some big shots had not given up on trying to poach him. They were still bombarding him with private messages.

They were all talking about their prices. Unfortunately, Zhou Chuchu and Xiao Yuyao didn't know about this.

After all, they didn't have time to rest, let alone check their phones. They were both focused on the task at hand.

The citizens were ecstatic and shocked at the same time. Only streamers like them were allowed to have such lavish treatment.

Soon, posts appeared on the internet one after another.

At the same time, some celebrities were also taking advantage of this wave of traffic to create assumptions on what it would be. They wondered if Xiao Yuyao would come up with something eye-catching. 

Everyone waited in anticipation. However, some fans did not believe it because it was ridiculous to come up with something that quickly in such a short time.

Xiao Yuyao stretched his body after finishing half of the content. Then, he saw that the trending searches were already in full swing.

Xiao Yuyao frowned after reading the whole story.

Zhou Chuchu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Xiao Yuyao, what should we do? Should we say no? If they keep sending messages like this, it might end up affecting us."

"It's okay for them to be skeptical about it."

Xiao Yuyao nodded along.

In reality, he wanted to reject them all. However,no matter how many times he rejected them, they kept sucking up to him like parasites.

He had no way to shake them off.

However, if he didn't respond, he would be attacked again if someone with ulterior motives caught him.

Even so, he didn't want to be tied down because he knew that once he cooperated with these people, whether it was the livestream platform or the research institutes, his freedom would be limited.

He would be forced to constantly develop new projects he didn't want to.

If they said that they didn't agree or didn't want to do it, then whatever he made would have to be scrapped.

This was especially true for these platforms.

As long as there was something that went against their wishes, it would be troublesome to go against it.

"Hmph, he's just not taking us seriously. We're one of the top scientific research institutes. He'll come around soon."

"We've stooped so low. What else can we do?"

"I only asked to look at it, yet he didn't even bother replying. He doesn't care."

An old man who was the president spoke freely.

"It's his choice to join us. Besides, do we have a leverage on him that would entice him to work with us? What reason do we have to force him to let us observe his research and inventions?

"We're just not up to his standard. If we were just as good as him, we would definitely refuse to cooperate and refuse to share a piece of the pie with others. That's just the reality of the world."

Those platforms were busy throwing a fuss. They had already offered astronomical contracts and sparkling treatments, but Xiao Yuyao was unmoved.

Speaking of Xiao Yuyao, he was busy pacing around instead of replying to those platforms. He had to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it would affect his future plans.

However, he couldn't agree or disagree with anyone right now.

Zhou Chuchu was also thinking of ways to avoid this whole mess.

Before she could speak up, Xiao Yuyao's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a solution.

Since he couldn't agree with anyone, why not start his own research institute so that he could do whatever he wanted?

No matter what he did, he would have the final say.

He would be the head of his own research institute, even if it was a small one.

Moreover, even if others refused to cooperate, he wouldn't be unreasonable and fire them or anything.

Xiao Yuyao smiled when he thought of this. Everything will go his way if he does this.

At the end of the day, he just didn't have a solid reputation. He was still unspecialized and an amateur. Even so, with his own research institute, it would provide a foundation for him to grow. Everything could be classified.

Outsiders won't be allowed in at will.

It could solve the current situation and future projects. Moreover, no one would be able to control him

After deciding on this, he told Zhou Chuchu his plan.

Zhou Chuchu was happy to hear this. This was the safest method to keep their autonomy.

After that, the two of them finalized their plans. 

The early stages would be complicated. However, as long as it was done, everything else would be smooth sailing and there would be no more future trouble.
