This is Franks.

Standing on the platform, looking at the mecha in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Although he had seen many mechas, including biochemical ones like EVA and purely mechanical ones like Gundam, to be honest, this was the first time Fang Zheng had seen such a "cute" mecha.

Yes, cute.

How should I put it? Rather than calling it a mecha, it's more like a magnified Q version of Mega Man, with a big head, a thin body, and small limbs. To be honest, Fang Zheng even suspected that this thing was something that appeared in a children's animation. After all, the style of this thing was too Q, and it really made people a little confused.

At least compared to EVA, Gundam, or even VF, this thing feels a little too cute.

"Okay, I want to see if you are bragging. Come up!"

At this moment, the girl with twin ponytails had already put on her pilot's suit and came to her own machine, pointing at him menacingly. Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and walked into the cockpit with the girl.

The entire cockpit didn't look too narrow, but it wasn't too spacious either. The girl with twin ponytails sat in her own driver's seat, then turned around and stared at Fang Zheng.

"Well, the reciprocity test won't lie, so now is the only time you can brag!"

"Whether I am bragging or not, you will know if you try it."

Looking at the twin-tailed girl in front of him, Fang Zheng revealed a strange smile.

Before coming here, Fang Zheng had already learned about the production and operation of the Franks mecha through network intrusion. Strictly speaking, the Franks is actually a biological mecha similar to EVA, a new mecha created by humans imitating the genetic modification of a dragon.

Of course, this is not surprising. There are many examples of enemies and us having the same origin in animations, games and novels.

What's interesting is the way Franks drives.

Generally speaking, two-man mechas are rare. Although Fang Zheng had previously driven the Demon Slayer, it was also driven by him and Al. However, Al, as the Book of the Dead, actually played a role similar to an "operating system" in the Demon Slayer, and Fang Zheng was the operator of this system.

This is also the reason why the overbearing chaebol could not find the magic book and could not activate the Demon Slayer - no matter how advanced your computer hardware is, without a system it is just a pile of scrap metal, right?

Franks's manipulation method is similar to that of the Demon Slayer, but also somewhat different.

Franks's method of manipulation is to synchronize the pistil with the body, and then the stamens manipulate the pistil.

So to put it simply, what Fang Zheng was controlling was not the mecha Franks, but the twin-tailed girl who was synchronized with Franks.

This is the difference from the Demon Slayer. In the Demon Slayer, Al is the control center and server of the system, responsible for reporting and processing data. However, in Franks, the pistil is equivalent to assimilating itself with Franks and becoming a part of Franks' nervous system.

If this wasn't a person, then Fang Zheng was actually no different from grabbing the other person's nerve core and manipulating them.

But having said that... this scene is really pleasing to the eyes.

Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng was also amazed. In the driving position of Franks, the female driver's position was similar to a motorcycle, with the pistil sitting on it, then raising her hips and facing the male stamen. Then the operating handles on both sides of the female's hips would pop out, and the male stamen would hold these two handles to control the pistil.

Since the male driver's seat is just above and behind the female driver, from a certain angle, this posture is exactly the same as the 20th hand-held posture, one of the Forty-O Hands of Oedo!

It's obvious that the person who designed this operating system was not a serious person.

But it’s a really good job for men!

Looking at the round curves in front of him, Fang Zheng silently nodded in his heart. That's right, if it's a humanoid mecha like this, it's not impossible for me to accept it even if I'm reluctant, right?

While thinking, Fang Zheng reached out and grasped the handle. At the same time, the twin-tailed girl's helmet also started up, and the flat screen behind the helmet showed the numbers and images.

The next thing to do is to enter the deep consciousness of the pistil.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and closed his eyes.

At the same time, a mechanical sound was heard.

【First connection starts】

[Measured capability value, concave factor pulse confirmed. Convex factor pulse on standby, ready... 3, 2, 1... Connection started]

“…It’s a lie.”

At this moment, the children watching the training outside were looking at the numbers displayed on the screen in surprise.

"Breaking through 100%?"

“You must be lying!”

Not only the children looked at each other in bewilderment, but even the staff in charge of the test were stunned and shocked. The reason is simple. Because they need to enter the depths of consciousness to perform the fusion operation, the trust between the male and female "pilots" must be very high. Not only must the two have similar personalities, but they also need to have a good relationship. Because of this, even if there is a little awkwardness or quarrel in daily life, it is easy to cause fluctuations and changes in the values ​​between the pilots.

But no one expected that Fang Zheng and the twin-tailed girl would be able to break through 100% in their first cooperation. You have to know that it was not only the first time for the two of them to meet, but the twin-tailed girl was even quite unconvinced by Fang Zheng. So in the eyes of everyone, even if the twin-tailed girl could cooperate, it would be difficult for the two to synchronize their spirits.

However, now, their values ​​have directly exceeded 100%?

You know, even if the twin-tailed girl and her original partner cooperate, the highest value is only 70%!

【Test End】

Soon, the test was over, and the hatch opened. Then, the girl with twin ponytails staggered down from it.

"future!!"

Seeing the girl's appearance, the others hurried over and surrounded her.

"Are you okay, Mirai?"

Mei, the captain of the 13th squad, codenamed 015, looked at the girl with twin ponytails. At this moment, she was sweating profusely, her face flushed, her eyes were hazy and blurry. She was originally strong and lively, but now she was panting as if she had gone through a lot of exercise. There was a blush on her fair and cute face, which made the girls around her feel a little itchy.

"future?"

"I, I'm fine."

Wei Li shook her head and stood up straight. At this moment, she had an unwilling expression on her face, while another girl next to her was looking at her.

"Future, are you really okay? Do you want to go to the infirmary for a checkup?"

"No, I think it should be fine..."

At this point, the twin-tailed girl suddenly clenched her fists, and then her face showed a rather excited and agitated expression. It was as if she had experienced some kind of stimulating pleasure.

“Amazing!”

"good……"

"……sharp?"

"Yes, this is the first time I have had this feeling. I didn't expect that I could actually do this...ah, I'm not very good at explaining it, you will know when you try it yourself. This feeling is absolutely beyond imagination!!"

Although what the girl with twin ponytails said was a bit irrelevant, she looked harmless. This also made the other girls curious. After all, although they didn't know Fang Zheng, they were very familiar with their companion who grew up with them. They knew that she was a girl with a strong personality and was difficult to humble. But now she said such a straightforward thing... Is it really completely different from driving with that man?

After that, several other girls also took simulated driving tests with Fang Zheng out of curiosity, including the glasses girl 196 who was originally planned to be his partner. The result was that everyone's value exceeded 100%, without any delay at all. This also shocked the staff of the test center, and they hurriedly reported the result.

"Is there such a thing?"

Looking at the data in front of him, a bald old man with a white beard narrowed his eyes solemnly. Half of his face was covered by steel, so his expression could not be seen, but the look on the other half of his face was quite solemn. He was the inventor of the Franks mecha - Dr. Franks.

"Being able to ignore all obstacles and reach 100% with all partners... is this really possible?"

Looking at the data on the screen, the white-bearded old man frowned. This record reminded him of another person... No, strictly speaking, that person was not a human being.

So, what about this driver?

Thinking of this, the white-bearded old man opened the database and began to investigate the information about this mysterious driver.

"CODE: X is a survivor of the destroyed city No. 24... He was transferred from Cosmos, which is directly under the Seven Sages, to the 13th city as a replacement driver? By the way, why is the number X?"

Staring at the information, the white-bearded old man had a serious expression. To be honest, there were people who could inspire the ability of the mailman, and there was one beside him. But that came at a price. Any mailman who cooperated with her would have his life taken away by her and eventually die.

However, this was not the case with the pilot. According to the medical team's subsequent examination results, both the pilot codenamed X and the girls who were pistils had normal physiological characteristics and there was nothing special about them.

Such a powerful ability has no cost and can be used at will?

Is this possible?

Or is this also a move by the Seven Sages?

Thinking of this, Dr. Franks stood up.

Anyway - it seems like it's time to go to City 13 to take a look at the situation.
