Your Versailles is just too... something!

"So, boss, how many bugs did you kill after you left with Meimei in the second half?"

"More than a hundred."

Everyone: "...!!"

Suddenly I didn't want to talk anymore.

It feels like we're from different worlds.

How could someone pilot a mech and single-handedly kill over a hundred Zerg?

What kind of bug is it?

Insect eggs?

Even Waldo, a veteran, could hardly bear to listen anymore.

Help!

There are two oddballs among this batch of new recruits!

While Mingmei's group could still learn something from what they heard, Mu Chen's group was like a newbie asking a professional gamer how they could play so well, only to be told that it was like playing with their hands.

Mingmei breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed that most of the people around her had been drawn to Mu Chen. At the same time, she glanced at the long list of rankings.

I and Mu Chen were in the top two, and the third and fourth place seemed to be the twins Ruian and Duolun that Hu Yue had mentioned. Although their scores were only half of Mingmei's, their scores were still very impressive.

Mingmei, who came in fifth, was also surprised.

"Is this the Jian family member you mentioned?"

When Lu Xiaoyao heard Mingmei call her name, she followed Mingmei's gaze and saw that the fifth person was none other than Jian Yunhe, whom Lu Xiaoyao had mentioned!

"Is she really that amazing?!"

...

"What do you think? That I'm just like you, only knowing how to eat and drink?"

Lu Xiaoyao lay in the game pod, watching the crowds coming and going outside the starship. At this moment, their starship was parked at a transit starport that was about to enter the Canglan Starfield.

Remembering the game from before, Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but call Lu Gui, who was still at home after his afternoon nap.

Upon hearing that Lu Xiaoyao was playing games on her way to the Sixth Theater Troupe, and that she even encountered Jian Yunhe in the game, as well as the final score, Lu Gui was not surprised at all.

“That girl from the Jian family was raised with elite education from a young age. Although she is arrogant, she is capable.”

"Are you saying I was raised in a rough and carefree manner?" Lu Xiaoyao asked quietly. Hearing her unforgiving tone, Lu Gui said, "That's not what I meant. I just said she is indeed very capable."

"Oh~ I guess I'm just bad at it~"

"yes."

Lu Xiaoyao: ??

Shouldn't you be comforting your cute and adorable little sister right now?

Lu Xiaoyao's eyes widened in disbelief. What on earth was wrong with her brother?!

Hearing that Lu Xiaoyao seemed to be arguing with Lu Gui, Mingmei lifted her eyelids and glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, but the next second Mingmei silently turned her back.

Based on her experience, Lu Xiaoyao was no match for Lu Gui; usually, if she even glanced at her again at this point, Lu Gui would be in trouble—*

"Huh, is Meimei asleep?" Mingmei heard Lu Xiaoyao's voice suddenly become softer, and decided to pretend to be asleep.

Pretending to be asleep can actually make you fall asleep eventually.

I closed my eyes and opened them again, and it was dark.

"Um?"

Mingmei opened her eyes, then closed them again, and opened them once more, confirming one thing—

"The starship has lost power?"

"Ah! What's going on?"

Someone, seemingly just like Mingmei, discovered this terrible truth and couldn't help but shout it out again.

Seeing this, Mingmei quickly turned on her personal computer to illuminate the area around her. Then she saw that everyone in the game pods around her sat up one by one and turned on their personal computers. Everyone looked completely bewildered.

"What happened? Why is it so dark?"

"Hello!"

Someone shouted, but the surroundings remained eerily dark; it seemed the entire starship was without power.

"We were left behind."

Just as Mingmei was about to ask Guigui what had happened, Mu Chen's voice came from the starship's hatch. Everyone turned their heads and saw that Mu Chen was holding a piece of paper that looked like a draft.

Mu Chen held up the paper in his hand and said, "It says that we are 3.6 light-years away from Qilan Star. All the energy on the starship has been taken away. We will have to get to Qilan Star ourselves."

"What?!" Everyone was stunned. They looked around again as if they had seen a ghost, only to find that Waldo's game pod was also empty. Had he really just abandoned them all here and run away?

"Rely on ourselves? How?"

"How many people here have mechs? Let's see if we can gather enough people to take them away?" a player suggested. Mingmei, Mu Chen, and Lu Xiaoyao were the first to attract attention, but unfortunately, the three of them and their three mechs only had five seats in total.

The remaining players gradually gathered about ten more mechs, but it was still far from enough to take away all the people.

"They left us all here just to test us so we could leave together, right?" one player said, adding, "Is this starship really out of energy?"

"There really isn't any, otherwise we wouldn't be unable to turn on the lights here."

Although Hu Yue knew this would happen, she was still apprehensive when she actually faced it.

The group of people were dumbfounded. They walked blankly to the interstellar window and looked out at the pitch-black night. A few luminous planets, some some distance away, emitted a faint glow that slightly illuminated the view outside.

This was completely different from the bustling starports they had seen before.

There were no buildings or huge warehouses outside, nothing at all, except for the deep blue earth that reflected the light.

It was desolate and eerie, just like the set of a horror movie.
