Ye Ling stood in the empty work area, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

She glanced around from time to time, her heart so anxious that it seemed as if it was about to burst into flames.

After Duan Yu left, only she and Orianna were left here, and the whole space was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Every time Ye Ling heard footsteps outside the door, her heart would skip a beat, but she was always disappointed.

Parts, parts, where are they?

Just then, Orianna hurried in from outside, her face pale and her expression nervous.

Ye Ling immediately went up to her and asked with concern, "Oliana, what's wrong with you?"

Orianna's eyes flickered, and she was obviously a little flustered. "Ye Ling, I... I may not be able to help you anymore." She swallowed and said fearfully, "Jace's people found me and threatened me that if I continued to help you, I would be in danger."

Ye Ling suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, but she did not show too much surprise. She just patted Orianna's shoulder gently and comforted her: "I understand your difficulties. You don't have to worry anymore. Be careful." Her words were gentle and firm, but her heart felt more lonely and helpless.

The oppressive feeling around her seemed to grow even stronger. She stood there in silence for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued to mutter to herself, "I can't fall down. I must find a way."

Victor's words echoed in her ears again, as if mocking her powerlessness.

She gritted her teeth and looked out the window. The sky was getting dark, but there was a determined fire burning in her eyes.

She checked the blueprint again, hoping to find a new breakthrough.

Just when she was about to get back to work, the door was suddenly pushed open and a familiar figure appeared at the door.

There was a hint of reluctance on Jinx's face, but there was a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

"Yeling," Jinx said in a low voice,

Ye Ling's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled faintly: "Really? Tell me about it."

Jinx took a deep breath, as if making a final decision, then stepped into the work area and left a message that surprised everyone: "This time, I'm willing to take the risk."

A warm feeling surged in Ye Ling's heart, but her face still maintained that calm expression.

She clenched the design in her hand, a determined glint in her eyes.

No matter what, she will not give up. This time, she will use her own strength to break through all doubts and difficulties.

Just when Ye Ling felt that she was about to be finished, Jinx suddenly appeared like a different person with an expression that said "I'm forced to work" on his face.

It turned out to be Duan Yu, who got some leverage on Jinx from somewhere and directly threatened her to provide parts to Ye Ling. This move was simply amazing!

Ye Ling looked at Jinx's ugly face, feeling secretly happy, but still remained calm on the surface. Sure enough, it was right to not take the usual path!

As soon as the parts were in place, Ye Ling was resurrected on the spot, as if full of energy.

Her hands were like robotic arms endowed with magical powers. Various parts flipped rapidly in her hands, making people dazzled.

While operating, she hummed a little tune with pride. The rhythm was simply an improvisation in the world of mecha modification.

When the people around her saw her amazing operation, their jaws almost dropped, and they exclaimed: "Is this girl using cheats?" Ye Ling was very happy in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be a lonely master. This series of operations must be given full marks.

After some operations, Ye Ling's mecha was completely new, full of futuristic and technological feeling, and it was simply the representative of appearance in the mecha world.

She looked at her masterpiece and smiled with satisfaction. This feeling was like she had created a peerless beauty with her own hands, and she was full of a sense of accomplishment.

She clapped her hands and was about to finish her work when she suddenly felt an inexplicable gaze.

She turned her head suddenly and found Victor standing at the edge of the arena, staring intently at his mecha with a complicated expression and a furrowed brow, as if he had seen something incredible.

Ye Ling's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Why, Judge Victor, are you amazed by my talent?" Victor walked to Ye Ling's mecha with a constipated look on his face, adjusted his glasses, and looked at her with a "you are hopeless" look: "Ye Ling, your modification method is too radical, completely contrary to the traditional concept of mecha! This is simply nonsense!"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and retorted without showing any weakness: "Judge Victor, the times are advancing, and concepts must also be updated and iterated! Traditional concepts? That stuff is already outdated! My modification concept is leading the trend!"

"Leading the trend? I think you're just trying to attract attention!" Victor blew his beard and glared, looking like he was about to explode. "You're making a joke of the competition!"

"Are you kidding? I'm more serious than anyone else!" Ye Ling's eyes were filled with confidence. "My mecha is not just for show. It has powerful combat capabilities!"

The surrounding contestants and audiences were attracted by the commotion here and gathered to watch and eat onlookers. The atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense, even more exciting than the talent show.

At that moment, Braum rushed out of the crowd like a superman, blocking Ye Ling and yelling at Viktor: "Judge Viktor, what gives you the right to say that about Ye Ling? Her modification ideas may be unconventional, but they are full of innovation and vitality! You are stifling a genius!"

Bron's voice pushed the atmosphere to a climax. The audience applauded and praised Ye Ling and Bron for their courage.

Ye Ling felt warm in her heart when she saw Braun defending her. He is indeed a good brother and very loyal!

Viktor was speechless after being confronted by Braum, his face turned pale and he walked away in anger.

Although the parts problem was solved and Victor was driven away, Ye Ling knew that the game was far from over.

She looked down at the parts in her hand, took a deep breath, and her eyes were full of determination: "The game has just begun!"

At this moment, a staff member hurried over, looking panicked: "Ms. Ye Ling, this is bad! The other contestants have already..."
