Ye Ling stood in the center of the Heroes' Conference venue. The audience seats around her were still bustling with people, and the cheers came like a tide, constantly hitting her eardrums.
Her mecha looked even more brilliant in this glorious light, and the metal surface reflected dazzling light, as if declaring her victory to the whole world.
"This young lady is so awesome! I love her!" In the audience, the villagers were talking about her in a flurry, their eyes full of envy and admiration.
Ye Ling lowered her head slightly, feeling the warmth brought by this honor, but a trace of uneasiness quietly grew in her heart.
She knew that this was just a new beginning, the road ahead was still long and the challenges would be even more arduous.
"Ye Ling, you must..." Duan Yu stood not far away, his eyes full of affection and encouragement.
His words were interrupted by the surging crowd, but Ye Ling could clearly feel his intention.
She nodded gently, a determined strength surging in her heart.
The joy of victory gradually dissipated, and Ye Ling began to think about the future direction.
On the one hand, she longed to enjoy the calm after the victory, have a good rest and adjust her state; on the other hand, new opportunities and challenges were already circling in her mind, making her feel anxious and uneasy.
She paced back and forth in the conference hall, her steps seemed a little hurried. The noise around her seemed to gradually fade away, leaving only the turmoil in her heart.
"Ye Ling, you really did it!" Kassa squeezed through the crowd and patted Ye Ling's shoulder excitedly.
Her smile was like warm sunshine, bringing a little comfort to Ye Ling's heart.
But Ye Ling just smiled slightly, her heart still full of contradictions.
"What should I do next?" Ye Ling whispered to herself, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.
She stopped and looked up at the starry sky, with a determined light in her eyes.
Suddenly, her communicator rang, and a voice sounded in her ear: "Ye Ling, we are waiting for you in the VIP lounge of the venue. We have something important to discuss with you."
Ye Ling's heart was shocked, but she quickly regained her composure, a confident smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
She took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the lounge, her steps firm and calm.
Ye Ling pushed open the door of the VIP lounge, and a luxurious atmosphere hit her in the face.
Soft lighting casts a shadow on the soft carpet, and the air is filled with a faint scent of incense.
Several high-ranking officials in Interstellar Alliance uniforms sat upright, their eyes all fixed on Ye Ling with a hint of scrutiny and expectation.
"Ye Ling, congratulations on your outstanding performance at the Heroes Conference." The leading official stood up and spoke in a solemn yet enthusiastic tone, "On behalf of the Interstellar Alliance, we formally invite you to join the 'Galaxy' project."
"Galaxy" project?
Ye Ling was shocked.
This mysterious interstellar exploration project is an opportunity that countless mecha masters dream of!
According to rumors, the goal of the "Galaxy" project is to explore unknown star regions, search for new energy sources and life forms, and may even come into contact with legendary advanced civilizations.
Ye Ling felt her heart beating faster, as if an electric current was rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
"Wuhu! Take off!" She almost shouted out loud, but fortunately she restrained herself in time. After all, she still had to maintain her image in front of the senior management.
The gazes from the other contestants around her were like searchlights, a mixture of envy, jealousy and hatred that almost melted her.
However, Ye Ling was not overwhelmed by the sudden surprise.
She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
"Excuse me, could you please give us a detailed introduction to the 'Galaxy' project?"
The senior officials were obviously a little surprised by Ye Ling's reaction. They exchanged glances, as if having some kind of silent communication.
Finally, the leading official smiled faintly. "Of course. The specific details of the 'Galaxy' project are confidential, and only members who join the project are authorized to know. However, I can assure you that this is a project full of challenges and opportunities. It will change your life and even the fate of the entire Interstellar Alliance."
There was a hint of mystery and tension in the air.
Ye Ling felt like she was standing at a fork in the road, with two completely different paths in front of her.
One is to join the "Galaxy" project and embark on a journey full of unknowns; the other is to reject the invitation and continue your original life.
"I..." Ye Ling was about to speak when she suddenly felt a warm big hand holding her hand.
She turned around and saw that it was Duan Yu.
He stood behind her, his eyes firm and gentle.
Duan Yu walked to Ye Ling and gently held her hand. The warm touch instantly spread throughout Ye Ling's body.
He looked at Ye Ling with deep eyes, his tone gentle but firm: "No matter what decision you make, I support you." Ye Ling held Duan Yu's hand again, feeling the warmth of his palm, as if a warm current flowed into her heart.
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with emotion and love.
The hustle and bustle around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the warm atmosphere between the two of them, and the air was filled with a sweet smell, like strawberry.
Ye Ling's heart was filled with a sense of security, as if with him, she had the whole world.
"I have decided to join the 'Galaxy' project." Ye Ling turned to look at the officials of the Interstellar Alliance, his tone firm and confident.
"Wuhu! The boss is awesome!" The surroundings exploded in an instant, and envious, jealous eyes shot towards Ye Ling like lasers.
This is the "Galaxy" project!
So many people are trying their best to get in!
The officials showed satisfied smiles on their faces and stood up to congratulate Ye Ling.
The flash lights kept flashing, recording this glorious moment.
Ye Ling once again became the focus of everyone's attention, and the light of glory once again enveloped her.
She felt like a rising star, with a future full of possibilities.
She was full of confidence in the future, as if she had already seen herself standing on the top of the galaxy, overlooking the magnificent scene of the entire universe.
However, in the next few days, Ye Ling discovered some abnormalities when preparing for project-related matters.
The information on some documents is unclear and even contradictory.
She asked the relevant personnel, but always received vague answers.
A feeling of unease spread in her heart, and the aura of danger was vague, like a beast lurking in the dark, ready to bare its fangs at any time.
One night, Ye Ling was alone in her room sorting out documents.
Suddenly, the communicator rang, and a strange voice sounded in her ears: "You'd better be careful, the 'Galaxy' plan... is not as simple as you think..." The communicator was suddenly disconnected, leaving only an uneasy silence.
Ye Ling stood up suddenly, walked to the window, looked at the deep starry sky outside, and muttered to herself: "It seems that this journey... is much more dangerous than I imagined..."
She turned and walked to the table, picked up a black metal box and slowly opened it.
Inside lay an ancient mecha core, emitting a faint light...
"Perhaps, it's time to let it... wake up..."
