Chapter 360: His Thoughts

As summer arrives, the capital of Tianxiu Star has been experiencing continuous rain, making the air both stuffy and hot.

"Looks like it's going to rain today."

Molly looked at the dark clouds overhead with a troubled expression and said to Anno, who was busy organizing his toolbox beside her, "Anno, isn't it too dangerous to compete in this weather?"

“Natural obstacles are exactly what the competition organizers want.”

With a crisp click, Anno closed the toolbox lid and walked forward with the toolbox in his hand.

Molly quickly followed behind her.

In front of them was a wide platform where many aircraft were parked. These were all aircraft used to prepare for the competition, and many competition members were gathered together chatting or doing pre-competition warm-ups.

Further ahead in the line of sight, there is an endless blue ocean.

Waves crashed against the high platform, and dark clouds had completely covered the sea. The weather forecast also indicated that a storm was coming, urging ships to take precautions.

The waves grew increasingly turbulent, like a ferocious trapped beast roaring.

The team members on the platform, however, were full of energy and eager to try.

This is the summer league of various colleges on Tianxiu Star. All the participating teams are the best flight teams from each college. Flight competitions like this are all about being as exciting as possible. Flat flight tracks are boring to them; they are just for testing speed and performance.

The most challenging obstacle courses are where they truly shine.

Anno stopped in front of a black and white aircraft, and the team members who were talking fell silent and all looked at her.

The girl in front of them was wearing a vest and cargo pants. She was tall and slender, with long chestnut curly hair tied into a ponytail. A few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, adding a touch of playfulness to her beautiful face.

In this gloomy weather, she was like a ray of light shining in, instantly brightening the space.

"Xiao Nuo, you're here."

The members of the Star Team greeted her with smiles.

Anno nodded to them and prepared to conduct a routine inspection of their aircraft.

Seeing her soften her cold expression, Xi Mo wanted to help her take the heavy toolbox.

Anno avoided his hand, placed the toolbox on the ground, and turned on the instruments to help him inspect the aircraft.

Xi Mo was used to her coldness and didn't care about her attitude; the other members were also used to it.

Anno usually focuses all her attention on the aircraft in the team and doesn't care much about anything else.

In the past two years, their Star Team has been reorganized twice, and the original engineer in the team was also transferred. He invited Anno to join his team.

With Anno around, their aircraft performance is always guaranteed to be at its best.

Depending on the venue of each competition, she would analyze the venue with them, discuss strategies, and adjust the performance of their aircraft.

She genuinely loves mechanical modification. In just two years at the academy, she has already been able to assemble aircraft independently and is now starting to build mechs.

Their team aims to become a professional team, and they need engineers with strong professional skills like Anno.

Molly greeted Xi Mo and then joined Anno in inspecting the Star Team's aircraft. She also planned to become an engineer, so she was happy to work alongside Anno as an intern engineer.

Her grades are the best in their major, and you can learn a lot from her.

Xi Mo walked over to An Nuo, who was squatting on the ground working on a small part. Xi Mo put her hand above An Nuo's head and said to her, "An Nuo, after the competition today, let's go to that restaurant on East Street last time. You said their crispy pork is delicious."

Anno looked up at him and said, "Not today. I'm going home to eat today."

Seeing her refusal, Xi Mo asked curiously, "Have we had guests?"

After a match, they usually go out for a meal together, and Anuo almost always goes.

After adjusting the parts, Anno stood up and clapped his hands. "They're not guests, they're family."

Xi Mo understood. "From Gemini?"

Anno paused for a moment, then nodded and continued to check the next team member's aircraft.

With a deafening roar, a dazzling bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

Then, large raindrops began to fall from the sky with a pattering sound. Xi Mo opened the aircraft, nimbly flipped onto it, and took out a raincoat from the storage compartment under the seat.

He unfolded his raincoat and draped it over Anuo. Anuo had planned to check all the team members' aircraft before the rain started, and then go back indoors to check on them. Unexpectedly, the rain started without warning, and she hadn't prepared a raincoat.

Xi Mo helped her put on her hat and buttoned up her raincoat. She put on the raincoat and thanked him.

Xi Mo looked down at her, his clear, dark eyes reflecting her face. "You don't need to thank me."

The thunder continued to rumble, and the rain poured down, drowning out his voice.

"Ahhh, the rain is too heavy!"

Molly took the raincoat from her teammate and hurriedly put it on.

Upon seeing Anuo, she pointed at Anuo's raincoat and laughed, "Nuo Nuo, your raincoat is so cute!"

Anuo watched her pointing at her raincoat and laughing. Looking down, he saw that the raincoat's skirt was like an inverted funnel, rounded to make it easier to block rain and leaks. The orange-yellow raincoat had several cute cartoon patterns on it, and those patterns looked somewhat familiar.

"Why does your raincoat have rabbit ears and a rabbit tail?"

Molly smiled and touched the two rabbit ears hanging from the hood of her raincoat, as well as the round rabbit tail at the back.

Anno touched the rabbit ears on both sides with both hands, glanced back at Xi Mo, and said to Molly, "This is Xi Mo's raincoat."

Xi Mo was leaning against the aircraft. Despite the heavy rain, he didn't go inside to take shelter. When he saw An Nuo turn around to look at him, he was holding onto the rabbit ears hanging down his head. Wearing a somewhat round raincoat, he looked incredibly cute and adorable.

He couldn't help but smile, brushed the wet hair from his forehead back, and focused his gaze on the huge electronic screen in front of him.

Five minutes to go, and the teams will be waiting in the wings.

He will bring back another championship, put the medal around Anno's neck, and take a picture with her.

"How could Xi Mo have such an adorable raincoat?"

Molly looked puzzled, wiped the rain off her face, and continued to finish the remaining tests.

Without giving it much thought, Anno turned around and quickly checked the team members' aircraft with Molly.

The platform outside was completely exposed, with strong winds whipping up waves that surged onto it. The gloomy sky, torrential rain, lightning, and raging waves were terrifying to behold, yet the various flight teams had to compete in such weather.

The race track is on the sea, with several small islands along the route. However, aircraft cannot land on these islands. Landing on any island other than the finish line will result in a deduction of points, which will be detrimental to the race.

Unless the aircraft malfunctions, it's best to fly all the way to the destination.

The weather is both the biggest obstacle and the biggest highlight of this competition.
