Who is Playing the Love Development Game in Gundam

"So, you went to see Lacus just to tell her to halt my genetic marriage testing?" In the living room, Su Lei's expression was complex. She had insisted on asking why He Kui met with Lacus, but hearing his answer brought a flutter to her heart. Despite their growing workloads that had dulled their initial spark, that old warmth between them began to ignite again.

"Some sectors have started anti-war protests recently," Su Lei mentioned.

"That's understandable, especially since Chairman Malchio is coming up soon," He Kui replied. "But with the strategic campaign preparations underway, we'll have to wait and see how it all turns out."

"True. Are you really planning to meet with Malchio?"

"Yes, why not?" he asked, curious.

"Malchio is a powerful figure—rumor has it he can see through fate."

"See through fate?" He Kui thought of the wise, blind man he'd seen on television, wondering if this was just exaggerated legend or if he was underestimating Malchio's insight.

"Even within PLANT, he has many devoted followers," Su Lei warned. "Just be careful."

It wasn't that Malchio himself was a danger, but his charisma and influence were undeniable. His followers often found themselves inspired by his ideals, and it seemed Lacus had inherited some of this influence. It wasn't so much seduction as an ability to persuade others naturally.

"Are you worried about me, Lei Lei?" He Kui teased, lounging on the sofa as he playfully held Su Lei's delicate, porcelain toes in his hand.

"No, don't flatter yourself!" she retorted, giving him a small glare, but she made no effort to pull her foot away. Her gaze, warm and alluring, held a hint of reserved affection that only made him smile.

"Are you sure?" He Kui leaned down to kiss her delicate foot.

"Can Coordinators alter their genetics for such a specific trait?" he asked mischievously.

"I wouldn't know, but it seems they can't remove certain... perverted genes," she replied, pretending to push him away with disdain. Her soft resistance, however, only added to her charm.

"Well, I don't mind," he said, leaving a faint red mark on her foot.

Seeing it, Su Lei looked embarrassed. "That's not going away easily!"

"Don't worry; it's our little secret," he said, pulling her closer.

"Stop!" Su Lei laughed, covering his mouth with her hand in mock irritation.

"Come on, I don't mind, but you do?" He Kui chuckled, removing her hand and kissing her gently before she could respond.

"See, I told you, you're sweet," he teased, which only made her blush even deeper, a warm pink that mirrored the setting sun.

In no time, the two found themselves drawn into a long and passionate exchange, one that lasted well into the night, leaving them both breathless and satisfied. The stars outside shone brightly through the high windows as He Kui sat back on the sofa, his contentment palpable.

"Never thought your blanket would be used this way, Lei Lei," he joked.

"Quiet, it's ruined now!" She glared at him playfully, but couldn't stop a shy smile from appearing as she looked at the blanket on the floor.

He Kui watched her, his gaze drifting to the notifications on his virtual interface.

[You and Su Lei shared an unforgettable moment]

[Su Lei's Affection: 165]

[Experience Boost: 8]

[Information Engineering, Level A: (66,012/100,000)]

[Academic Progress: Quantum Firewall (13,260/20,000)]

[Unlock Academic: Field Modulation (0/20,000)]

The concept of Field Modulation sparked an idea. This advanced technology related closely to quantum mechanics and could potentially enhance his Light Shield System, which was a form of field technology. Through precise adjustments in field parameters like potential energy, charge distribution, and atomic spacing, it might boost energy output efficiency significantly, even improving energy density to several times that of current batteries.

If implemented across PLANT, this technology could increase total energy production by about 10%, a staggering amount when scaled to the needs of the colony. Additionally, it might extend the operational time of MS units—his experimental Gates model, limited to three minutes of high-powered activity, could potentially reach ten minutes or more with this tech.

Though costly and requiring precision machinery, field modulation was undoubtedly powerful. Its potential in energy applications alone justified the effort.

"Hey, you seem lost in thought!" Su Lei waved her hand in front of his face, pulling him back to the present.

"Nothing important," he replied with a smile. "I should go; make sure to clean that carpet."

"Of course I will!" she huffed, though her expression softened into a smile as she looked at him.

Back in his office, He Kui began organizing his notes on the nano-robotics technology. He'd managed to conceptualize part of the knowledge needed, though there was still a long way to go before it would be complete.

The next day, Su Lei came to his office as usual.

"The assistant at your door is quite the beauty," Su Lei teased, not worried about Mei Ling overhearing since the door was soundproof.

He Kui shrugged, "She's skilled in electronic tech; maybe you could give her some guidance."

"Maybe," Su Lei replied dismissively.

"So, when will you be heading over to Clark Design Bureau as its director?" she asked.

"Technically, the unified design bureau headquarters will still be here. If I take the director role, I'll oversee both the Clark and Werner design bureaus," he explained.

"So, you're not leaving?" She gave him a teasing look.

"Are you hoping I will?"

"Yes," she replied, laughing softly as she looked down, a playful smile on her lips.

Seeing her expression, He Kui couldn't help but glance at her foot, now wrapped in white lace stockings. He wondered if his little mark was still there.

"It's gone!" she said, catching him staring and blushing with mock indignation.

"Maybe I should check for myself."

"Not with your assistant just outside!" she warned, shaking her head.

"Right, I'll save it for later," he chuckled, earning a playful glare from Su Lei.

They shared a few more lighthearted words before Su Lei briefed him on the latest radar developments and left.

Shortly after, an email popped up on He Kui's computer, simple yet momentous:

---

[By resolution of the PLANT Supreme Council, and in accordance with PLANT regulations and policies, the position of Director of the Unified Design Bureau is hereby appointed to He Kui.]

[In this role, Director He Kui will oversee the Clark and Werner branches of the Unified Design Bureau, encompassing Mobile Suit development, weapon design, materials research, and technical integration. We trust Director He Kui will employ his expertise and leadership to drive PLANT's technological advancements forward.]

-PLANT Supreme Council

---

He Kui stared at the message, blinking. He'd imagined this announcement many times, but somehow, receiving it as an ordinary email felt anticlimactic.

His gaze drifted upwards, as if he could see all the way to April City through the ceiling above. By now, the Supreme Council meeting had likely concluded, sealing his new position.

Director—the goal he had pursued was now achieved, though he wondered how soon he might reach an even higher rank. Perhaps district head in another sector?

For now, he would celebrate this achievement.

More emails soon followed, congratulations from Erin, the district head, and even the ten council members of May City. In the scientific community, he had reached the peak of his profession. Although there were still political figures like the district head

s and council members, those roles were highly political.

As a researcher, he had reached a pinnacle few others had ever attained
