Lu Manman looked on expectantly, "Grandpa Qi Chao, can you take me to see him?"

"sure."

Qi Chao got up and said he would lead Lu Manman to the warehouse, and the others followed without stopping.

Lu Manman was led to the warehouse where the mechs were stored. Five mechs of different colors and shapes were neatly arranged in a row.

These should be the five most advanced mechs on this planet. Apart from being covered in dust, the long years have left no trace on the mechs.

Qi Chao, who enjoys tinkering with these machines, explained to the mecha, "They're a bit dirty because they haven't been maintained for a year yet, but we're not sure if they're still usable."

Lu Manman nodded. "How do I use this? Is there a tutorial?"

Qi Chao picked up an electronic device. "There are some notes from our ancestors in here, but we've tried all the methods described, and they don't work at all. Maybe you can."

Lu Manman took the electronic device and looked at it carefully. After reading the notes of her predecessor, she had a general idea and took the lead in challenging the first mecha.

Soon, Lu Manman entered the mecha effortlessly, and everyone cheered after she successfully entered.

"That's wonderful! After all these years, someone can finally enter the mecha again!" Qi Chao held his ancestor's notes and wept bitterly.

The record above states that the last time someone was able to enter the mech was 398 years ago, and that was merely entering.

"I never thought I'd live to see a mecha activated..."

"Haha, I knew the kid could do it, he's practically omnipotent."

"..."

A group of people were so excited that tears streamed down their faces.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Lu Manman controlled her mecha and walked out of the warehouse. The sudden sluggishness in piloting the mecha disappeared completely as Lu Manman walked outside step by step.

Lu Manman happily controlled the mecha to run, jump, spin, and somersault.

The series of actions not only dazzled the crowd but also filled them with hope for the future.

They felt even more strongly that this child was sent by God to save them out of pity.

Seeing the tears welling up in everyone's eyes, Lu Manman stepped out of the mecha. "Maybe I used to pilot mechas. Once I got on, I felt a strange sense of familiarity."

"Great! That's wonderful!" Gu Lin was thrilled, but he didn't dare to say the rest of his sentence, wondering if the mecha could take them off this planet.

I was afraid that if I waited too long, Lu Manman would get worried again, causing her unnecessary burden.

They've already benefited so much from the long journey; they shouldn't be too greedy. Let's wait until the child wants to go out on his own before considering it.

The others also tacitly avoided mentioning the matter.

Chen Hua: "It's good to know how to use mechs. These mechs won't have to sit here collecting dust anymore. You can use them however you want, but you must make sure you are safe."

Qu Fu nodded. "That's good. I hope this mecha can bring you a different kind of surprise and experience, but safety comes first."

Lu Manman smiled slightly, "Grandpas, please rest assured, I know what I'm doing and I will definitely take good care of myself."

That's good, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhong Lizhong, however, was a little curious. "Kid, tell Grandpa what it feels like to pilot a mecha. And is the mecha more powerful or are you more powerful?"

Lu Manman thought about it carefully, "The view is very open, the field of vision is completely different, and there are more buttons..."

Lu Manman talked on and on, and everyone listened with longing, as if it were really cool. They wished they could pilot mechs too.

Sure enough, regardless of age or gender, everyone is drawn to the allure of mechs.

Lu Manman concluded, "No matter how much I say, it's not as good as you experiencing it for yourselves. Tomorrow, I'll take you all to experience piloting a mecha."

Everyone was moved to tears, saying, "Good child, it's all thanks to you."

Gu Lin: "This won't affect you, will it?"

Lu Manman patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, it's as simple as stimulating plant growth, and it's right here, so there's absolutely no need to worry about safety."

However, everyone was still a little worried. After repeated questioning, Lu Manman assured everyone that it would not have any negative impact on her, and everyone finally happily agreed.

It was getting late; it was time for dinner.

After a period of comparison, everyone discovered that Shi Tu had the most talent in cooking, so Shi Tu was basically in charge of preparing the meals.

In his joy, Shi Tu prepared a huge feast.

Braised pork ribs, boiled fish fillets, stir-fried pork kidneys, old duck soup, eggplant with minced meat, green beans with garlic, stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, cucumber salad, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

Serve with fragrant rice and mango juice.

Zhong Lizhong's mouth watered, and he took a deep sniff. "Shi Tu's cooking skills are getting better and better. I can't wait to try it!"

Then he looked at the others and said, "Brothers, hurry up, I'll start eating once everyone's here."

Everyone washed their hands properly, then sat down in a circle.

During this period, everyone has transformed into avid learners, watching cooking tutorial videos on electronic devices every day.

Learn as you watch.

Shi Tu was responsible for learning to cook; Qu Fu was responsible for finding the corresponding plants needed; Qi Chao and Feng Zhi were responsible for providing some of the necessary equipment and tools; Gu Lin, Chen Hua, and Zhong Lizhong were responsible for taking care of and killing the mutated beasts, while Lu Manman was responsible for capturing the mutated beasts and promoting the growth of plants.

With clear division of labor, the results are amazing. We can unlock new recipes and get new delicious food every day.

The number of recipes people use has increased dramatically at an alarming rate.

They're tired of saying "delicious" all the time; now, the thing they look forward to most every day is eating.

Just like now, everyone is very satisfied with a meal.

"Burp! I feel like I've wasted so much time before. We've missed out on such a delicious meal for so long."

"It's not exactly a waste, after all, we didn't have the means to eat it before, since plants are all poisonous and we couldn't beat the mutated beasts."

As they spoke, everyone looked at Lu Manman, who was still working hard.

Lu Manman noticed everyone's gaze, looked up from her bowl, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

Gu Lin smiled kindly, "It's alright, eat well, eat more, you've worked hard these past few days."

In short, it's all thanks to the children.

...

Lu Manman kept her word and took each grandfather for a ride in the mecha. When they came out, they were all dizzy, partly from excitement and partly because they seemed to suffer from mecha sickness...

Maybe I haven't sat in them enough, I'm not used to it.

With the help of the mecha, Lu Manman has finally ended her days of measuring the earth on foot and can now explore more distant places with the mecha.

However, Lu Manman still dared not fly too high, for fear of attracting the attention of the Zerg, and flew almost close to the trees at low altitude.

As usual, Lu Manman piloted her beloved little mecha and continued her exploration.

Suddenly, a place caught Lu Manman's attention.

Huh! Why does this place look so strange?
