The moment the mecha appeared, Wu Qingqing, Hu Ping, and Liu Xun all had the same expression.
Mouths agape, eyes wide open.
Stunned by the mechaâs appearance for three seconds.
So alluring, absolutely captivating, itâs a mecha masterâs dream come true.
On the ruins, a silver-black mecha stood tall, its lines smooth, each curve uniquely beautiful.
Four rows of "wings" folded on its back, their function unknown, but they integrated perfectly with the mecha.
Compare this mecha to Xue Huiyiâs.
Xue Huiyiâs new design is just an entry-level childâs plaything.
Su Xiaocaiâs mecha not only meets aesthetic standards but also radiates an innate sharpness.
At a glance, you can tell this mecha is incredibly swift and powerfully armed.
"What model is this mecha?"
"Itâs not any model. Itâs my creation, called Black Wing." Su Xiaocai wasnât fully satisfied with Black Wing, but no matter its flaws, she built it with her own hands.
The main issue was costâkilling ordinary Insect Men would be too wasteful; itâs worth using it to kill the Mother Body for a return on investment, and she would enjoy it too.
Liu Xun recalled their first few meetings when he asked Su Xiaocai about the model of the mecha inside the Space Button, and she said there wasnât one.
He mistakenly thought there was "no" mecha inside the Space Button.
Turns out Su Xiaocai misled him into thinking there were no mecha models.
So sneaky, really sneaky.
He already knew Su Xiaocai was devious, full of trickery, and her words had multiple layers.
She doesnât lie, but she can lead you astray and have you follow her train of thought.
From now on, heâll have to think carefully about everything Su Xiaocai says and look for loopholes in her language.
"Master, youâve been hiding this hard from me." Wu Qingqing always thought Su Xiaocai preferred the hoe-shaped mecha.
Turns out her aesthetic sense is normal, no wonder the mecha she modified on 022 Mechanical Planet is so good.
Su Xiaocai removed the slightly cumbersome gear and leaped into the mecha cockpit. Liu Xun and Hu Pingâs pupils shrank as they saw her special boarding method.
Although it was just a fleeting moment, they both saw clearly.
They saw her whole body covered in something, quite different from the current safety pods.
"What kind of technology is this? I want it too." Hu Ping intended to use his playboy way, "Iâll offer a billion, just for that kind of safety pod."
"Youâre dreaming. Even I, the senior sister, donât have it." If it were purchasable, all the pocket money she had in the bank may as well be handed over to Su Xiaocai.
Liu Xun, seeing this, refused to be outdone: "Sister Su, Iâm broke. Can I work to pay off my debt at your place?"
Wu Qingqing: "Poor guy, how much can you earn from working? Have some ambition." Trying to act pitiful to gain priority, shameless.
"The closer you are, the sooner you get the benefits. Maybe in the future, youâll have to call me Manager Liu." Liu Xunâs biggest worry was employment. Since meeting rich kids like Hu Ping and Wu Qingqing, he became ambitious.
Su Xiaocai chuckled softly, "Stop fooling around, weâre leaving. The three of you stick together, and if you lose contact, remember to obey Wisdom 03âs orders. If it tells you to retreat, you must retreat, donât think about saving anyone."
The three obediently said yes.
"What functions does Wisdom 03 have?" Hu Ping curiously poked at it.
Currently, Wisdom 03 was on Hu Pingâs mecha, in the same space, and he wasnât too accustomed to it.
Wisdom 03 transmitted a map to the three of them, "Hello, I am Wisdom 03, temporarily acting as your Navigator, providing you with nearby danger alerts and terrain conditions."
Hu Ping stared, unblinking, at the detailed map, like one mapped by a professional path-finding robot. They could even see a moving Insect Man approximately two kilometers away.
No wonder itâs called the Navigator; itâs another pair of eyes for a mecha master.
It can foresee the direction and distance of an Insect Manâs attack, not easily fooled like the naked eye.
Wu Qingqing and Liu Xun stared at the small map on the screen, their hearts calm.
Malicious, truly malicious, giving no living space for other students.
This is like the difference between a genius and a top student.
Ahead are custom new mecha, and behind is a smart Navigator.
No other studentâs scientific achievements would be able to shock them anymore.
Su Xiaocai reminded, "Donât rely too much on 03, observe more. There are situations not recorded by 03 that it canât analyze."
In short, Wisdom 03 is not omnipotent. Su Xiaocai demands that they use their utmost ability to survive.
"Sure, sure, Master Su, give us your instructions, whatever you say."
"Right, by the way, does ordering a custom mecha require a lottery? Do company shareholders have priority in the lottery?"
Su Xiaocai: "Do your job properly and as long as no one dies, Iâll consider it."
