Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "So long-winded!" Ling Lan turned off the mainframe's voice system and focused on operating her mecha. On the mecha's control panel, Ling Lan's fingers once again began to rapidly produce overlapping shadows. Those overlapping shadows combined together like water lilies that had awakened, floating yet incomparably beautiful.
The rabbit mecha's entire body bent abruptly, its blade-wielding forelimbs sinking slightly. It was this minuscule change that allowed Regretless to swiftly dodge the vicious fangs of the giant python, slicing past the python's lower jaw. When it reached the vital point, it abruptly tilted back. At the same time, the crouching rabbit mecha had long been prepared to kick back forcefully.
A white rabbit rose from the ground, flying high into the air. Daylight seeped in through the treetops, illuminating the mecha's body, causing the entire mecha to sparkle, dazzling the eyes. This flash also caused [No Mecha Unrepaired], who had been closely observing the rabbit mecha, to suddenly see a blur on his screen. For a moment, he was actually blinded.
"Hiss!" The giant python let out a tragic hiss. [No Mecha Unrepaired], who had already regained his vision, saw the giant python's head suddenly fall off its body as it howled at the sky. A large pillar of blood gushed out from the cut, drenching the ground within a dozen metres of it into a pool of blood. And then, the giant python's body finally collapsed to the ground...
Ling Lan controlled the rabbit mecha to stand more than ten metres away from the python's corpse, untouched by the blood. Her mecha's cold gaze suddenly swept towards a certain spot — it was a patch of grass. This abrupt movement caused the grass to move slightly, and then there was no more movement.
Ling Lan retracted her gaze, satisfied. As long as they did not hinder her from completing her mission, she did not want to kill all of these savage beasts. After all, she had no intention of collecting savage beast materials to accumulate points. Controlling the rabbit mecha to leap, she came directly before [No Mecha Unrepaired] and reached out to hand the weapon back to the other. "Thank you. This weapon is very powerful. Now, I'm returning it to you!"
Although the weapon was good, Ling Lan had no intention of keeping it. As long as she switched to a higher level mecha, the standard weapons and equipment of the mecha would already be enough for Ling Lan to use.
Hearing this, [No Mecha Unrepaired] was taken aback. He had not expected that [Lingtian First-String], who had witnessed the might of Regretless, would actually be unmoved, still choosing to return the weapon to him. From the other's tone, [No Mecha Unrepaired] was very sure that this was not an act, but that the other really did not want it. This filled [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s heart with a myriad of emotions. It should be known that in Mecha World, for the sake of making the mecha one operated stronger, some top-grade weapons would often cause the strong to fight over them, sometimes even resorting to forceful and tyrannical methods to snatch them from the hands of the weak.
This made [No Mecha Unrepaired] even more determined to give Regretless to [Lingtian First-String]. He said, "You don't have to return it to me. This weapon is a gift from me to you."
"Give it to me? The mission reward doesn't seem to have this. "Although this weapon was very good, Ling Lan did not want to owe [No Mecha Unrepaired] a favour for no reason.
"This is extra, just a small token of my appreciation," said [No Mecha Unrepaired] with a smile. Just those rewards alone were not enough for him to hire a special-class operator.
"Since we've already agreed on the mission reward, you don't need to take out any more compensation." Ling Lan raised an eyebrow, as if understanding [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s concern. Thus, she continued to say, "Don't worry, I will send you safely to Suncreed City. I won't break any rules, nor will I ask for anything extra."
Ling Lan's words made [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s face flush red. He waved his hands fiercely and said, "It's not like that. I've never suspected that you would go against our agreement. This weapon... to me, is special, because I made it. " [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s voice became very soft. "Although many people want to buy it, I've always been reluctant to sell it. I just hoped that one day, there would be someone who understood it who would be able to bring it into battle with them, fulfilling the dreams I've entrusted to it."
[No Mecha Unrepaired] raised his head and said resolutely, "It's called Regretless, so I hope that there will be a strong person who can make it so that it will not have any regrets in battle. And during this period of time, I feel that you can fulfill my dream, so I want to give this weapon to you."
[No Mecha Unrepaired]'s words made Ling Lan examine the information of the weapon in her hands seriously. Sure enough, the data stated that weapon name: Regretless (Weapon embedded in the back of mecha). Characteristics: Tough, Sharp. Weight: 206 kg. Maker: [No Mecha Unrepaired] Quality: Superior
Little Four explained to Ling Lan in the mindspace. A cold weapon like this, which was of superior quality and had both the characteristics of toughness and sharpness, was extremely hard to come by. Additionally, the weapon itself was heavy enough, so it could be used as a heavy weapon at critical moments. Regretless, which did not have any obvious weaknesses, could be used for a long period of time as long as it was not damaged, even up to the point of being an ace operator. And in Mecha World, the familiarity of a mecha's weapon was completely reflected in the mecha's combat power. Thus, this type of weapon that could be used for a long period of time was something that all mecha operators loved and cherished greatly. It could be said that if this weapon was put up for auction, it would attract the attention of all mecha operators below the level of ace operator.
Ling Lan agreed wholeheartedly with Little Four's words. It was just like how she had spent a long period of time practising with that carrot weapon back then. Later on, she had switched to other mecha. Compared to the simplicity of firearms, she had spent the most time on cold weapons. This was because cold weapon combat was extremely dangerous — just the slightest bit of carelessness could bring disaster upon oneself.
Ling Lan, who had initially not been moved by Regretless, was now truly somewhat moved. For a mecha operator, finding a main cold weapon that suited them well was an extremely crucial matter. Initially, Ling Lan had wanted to wait until she had switched mecha before considering this problem, but now, such an excellent main cold weapon had appeared. Ling Lan had no choice but to begin considering this point.
Ling Lan did not dwell on this for long. She took back Regretless and hung it in the only weapon slot on her back, and then said, "Thank you. This weapon is indeed very excellent, just what I need. It would be impolite of me to refuse. However, you don't have to give me the other rewards we agreed on back then. " At this point, Ling Lan suddenly remembered that without those 200 points, she would not have been able to gather 1010 points. Thus, she added sheepishly, "That, the points are still needed. To make up for your loss, I can accept another commission from you in future. Of course, that commission must be something I can accomplish. "
Ling Lan decided to end this favour once and for all. She did not like to drag things out, so she made things clear beforehand so that in the future, the two of them would not get into an argument because they could not come to an agreement, wasting the camaraderie of this gift of a saber today.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] had initially not intended to make Ling Lan pay any price. He had sincerely wanted to hand over the best weapon he had created to the other. Hearing Ling Lan say this, he did not take Ling Lan's promise to heart, only nodding happily in agreement. Right now, he did not know that it was precisely because of this promise from Ling Lan that his future would no longer be ordinary...
Ling Lan very quickly came to the place Little Four had pointed out and picked up an extremely ordinary stone. Seeing this, [No Mecha Unrepaired] asked in disdain, "What is this? Could it be that this is your mission? " This greyish stone could be seen everywhere here, but Ling Lan picked this stone up very seriously from the pile of stones.
"Yes, this is the Starlight Conversion Power Core," replied Ling Lan.
"What? This is that legendary Starlight Conversion Power Core?" exclaimed [No Mecha Unrepaired] in shock.
"Legendary?" Ling Lan looked at [No Mecha Unrepaired] in confusion, unsure why the other was so shocked.
"[Lingtian First-String]. This is the only main storyline mission in Three-Seas Town. Although many people have accepted it before, they have never found it. Many people think that because the Starlight Conversion Power Core has not appeared yet, it is a mission that cannot be completed at present," explained [No Mecha Unrepaired].
"Is that so? I only accepted it because I saw that the points were not bad, "replied Ling Lan noncommittally.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] almost burst into tears. Was this the difference between the strong and the average person? A mission that they did not even dare to think about, the other had simply accepted it because the points were relatively high. [No Mecha Unrepaired] suddenly reacted, "How did you know that there was a Starlight Conversion Power Core here? You can complete this mission? "
Ling Lan replied calmly, "I've been here before and seen this before. However, I didn't know what it was for, so I left it here and didn't take it..."
Didn't take it? [No Mecha Unrepaired] almost vomited blood. So the other had come to this dangerous place before? Thinking of how the other was extremely familiar with this place, as if she had come to his own back garden, [No Mecha Unrepaired] understood.
Ling Lan placed the Starlight Conversion Power Core into her mecha's equipment storage, and then said, "Alright, let's go."
[No Mecha Unrepaired], who had been dealt a series of blows by Ling Lan, naturally had no objections and followed Ling Lan out of this place.
The two of them walked back for about ten minutes when Ling Lan suddenly glanced at [No Mecha Unrepaired] and asked, "Did you offend someone?"
Back at the west gate of the town, those people had kept their eyes on [No Mecha Unrepaired], making Ling Lan understand that her client might have offended some people. However, Ling Lan did not mind this. As long as she could get points, she would still accept the mission of escorting the other.
[No Mecha Unrepaired]'s heart skipped a beat, and he asked hoarsely, "Why do you ask?"
"These mecha should have followed you here, but it seems like they weren't strong enough and were killed by savage beasts." Ling Lan pointed at the dense forest ahead, indicating that [No Mecha Unrepaired] could go check it out.
[No Mecha Unrepaired]'s expression changed, and he quickly operated his mecha to rush over. After a few moments of landing, he saw several mecha glowing grey, lying on an empty patch of ground. This meant that these mecha were already in a state of death. Even if they chose to revive, the mecha would only disappear after 20 minutes. During this time, anyone could pick up the equipment, weapons, or other props the other party had dropped.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] saw the familiar lightning symbol on the chest of his mecha, and instantly gritted his teeth and said, "It's them again, the Thunder King's faction."
"Thunder King?" Following behind [No Mecha Unrepaired], Ling Lan heard this name and could not help but think to herself that it was very familiar.
