Chapter 351 Transmigrating into an Interstellar Novel and Winning Over the Male and Female Protagonists (3)

Aside from the time they spend learning their professional skills, Jin Shu and Ling Xiao spend almost 18 hours a day together.

The original owner was once arrogant because she had been surrounded by countless halos since childhood, and she was still the center of attention even when she went to military school.

Having been accustomed to being unconventional since childhood, the original owner rarely took the initiative to understand or care about others, even her own repairman, she rarely took the initiative to communicate with him.

The two maintained a distant yet close relationship, participating together in various mecha competitions on campus and representing the school in the Alliance Military Academy Competition.

Because of her privileged upbringing, the original owner of this body was inevitably arrogant and had her own opinions on combat techniques. However, Ling Xiao, the female protagonist who is a repairman, does not approve of the original owner's actions over the years.

In her view, the original owner had always treated her as a dispensable assistant, an accessory that could be summoned and dismissed at will. So, before the last practical operation before graduation, she stopped the original owner and asked to talk to her about the upcoming graduation practical operation.

Ling Xiao believes that real combat is not like the competitions of the past, which require piloting mechs into a real battlefield to fight. This time, the real combat map they were selected is Insect Planet.

The details of the actual battle have not yet been released, but based on past experience, the battle will most likely involve killing the Queen Insect on the Insect Planet.

Ling Xiao believed that this battle was no small matter, so she volunteered to enter the cockpit and fight alongside Jin Shu. After all, the school also had two-person piloted mechs, but this was usually for couples or family members. After all, two-person combat was a great test of the teamwork between the two, and the slightest carelessness could result in both of them being seriously injured. Failure in battle was secondary; the most serious consequence could even be nerve damage.

Clearly, Jin Shu didn't feel there was any tacit understanding between her and Ling Xiao, and she didn't want to violate the rules by letting a repairman who hadn't received any formal training operate the mecha.

So she rejected the suggestion without hesitation, and said that she would have no problem with the final graduation battle.

Ling Xiao didn't say much, only leaving a blank sentence.

"You will pay the price for your arrogance and haughtiness sooner or later."

The original owner frowned and remained silent. She couldn't understand why Ling Xiao would say such hurtful things. It was one thing if others didn't understand her, but as a friend who had lived and eaten with her for five years, she never said anything when Ling Xiao secretly practiced with her mecha or even messed up her mecha's operating system. Whenever Ling Xiao was bullied by other students at the Alliance Military Academy because she had no background, she would take the initiative to stand up for her. In fact, Ling Xiao was the first friend she had ever brought home since childhood.

The original owner couldn't understand why Ling Xiao would say such hurtful things because of a request that was impossible to grant.

But with the finals approaching, the original owner had no time to dwell on it and turned to more intense training.

On the day of the finals, she piloted her mech into the interior of the insect planet and attacked the queen's nest. Suddenly, the mech's tail fin exploded and malfunctioned, instantly putting Jin Shu, who had previously held the advantage, into danger.

However, although the tail fin explosion was serious, it was not fatal. The mechanic would definitely have a spare tail fin. She just needed to leave enough firepower and retreat to a relatively safe area to wait for Ling Xiao to replace the tail fin.

However, when Jin Shu finally managed to break through all her firepower and find a relatively safe area to wait for rescue, Ling Xiao only said one sentence.

“You’ve always treated me like a lackey and assistant, like a dog to be used by you. Today I’m going to tell you something: even dogs bite.”

After Jin Shu finished speaking, all communication devices inside her mech were cut off, her firepower was exhausted and her tail fins were damaged. With the Zerg closing in, there was no possibility of retreat.

Mechs are equipment that warriors must protect with their lives. Each mech contains the secrets of the Alliance Legion's equipment, and if they fall into the hands of foreign races, it will inevitably lead to the leakage of these secrets.

Once trapped, a soldier's first choice is never to escape, but to destroy the mech and leave no trace.

The original owner pressed the self-destruct button on the mecha immediately, but the button, which should never fail under any circumstances, just wouldn't press at that moment.

And so, the original owner was captured, and the mecha was stolen by the Zerg.

This had never happened before in the Allied Legion, yet it was happening to Jin Shu, who was least likely to fail.

Overnight, Jin Shu became a disgrace to the alliance and the military academy. Everyone thought that she didn't press the self-destruct button immediately because she was afraid of death.

The original owner's father, feeling helpless and heartbroken, risked punishment to break into the Zerg's territory and rescue the dying Jin Shu.

But at this point, it was impossible for Jin Shu to return to the Alliance Military Academy or join the Alliance Army.

Not wanting to implicate her family, the original owner chose to leave and came to live alone on a small, nameless planet.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. The original owner was forcibly stripped of his mecha by the Zerg, which caused his mental power to be completely damaged. He became a useless person who could no longer pilot a mecha. His life value also dropped from tens of thousands to a thousand. He lived a life of poverty and despair for several years.

Finally, on this day, she was bullied by thugs on the planet and suffered a head injury. She died from excessive blood loss because no one was there to treat her.

The once brilliant and dazzling genius died quietly on a dark planet, and no one in the galaxy remembered her anymore.

Inheriting the original owner's resentment and despair, Jin Shu took over her body.

A broken and battered body.

A warrior with a noble spirit of alliance.

A useless person who can no longer control the mecha with his mental power.

The female protagonist of this story, Ling Xiao, was held accountable after failing in the final battle after graduation. However, considering that she had taken the initiative to heal other soldiers during the final battle, and that her classmate was the commander of the Third Legion of the Alliance, the commander granted her special privileges, allowing her to enter the Alliance Legion and directly changing her status from a repairman to a trainee mecha warrior.

Over the years, Ling Xiao has repeatedly achieved remarkable feats in battles large and small, and quickly rose from a reserve soldier to the captain of an elite squad, directly under the command of the Third Legion Commander. He has consistently ranked among the elites of the Alliance Legion, becoming the first dual-talented warrior in the Alliance's history who is skilled in both repair and mecha.

At this point in the story, Jin Shu didn't want to watch anymore.

The only thing she's certain of now is that the mechs used in the final battle back then were tampered with; otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have failed, much less become a disgrace to the Alliance Legion.

The suspect is also very clear.

That's Ling Xiao.

As the female protagonist of this story, who is both righteous and evil, and ruthless in achieving her goals by any means necessary, she not only has outstanding combat power, but also remarkable intelligence and luck.

Jin Shu has never had any feelings about this kind of person; after all, what kind of people aren't there in this world?

But if it were you being stepped on, that wouldn't work.
