The deafening cheers had not yet faded away when Ye Ling suddenly stood up from the celebration banquet with a serious expression.
She held the communicator tightly in her hand, on which was displayed an anonymous message: "The Jinx family will not give up, so take care of yourself." Humph, this threat is so childish!
Ye Ling was not brought up to be scared.
Back in the mecha modification workshop, the dim light reflected on her tense face.
Various parts and tools were scattered around, and the air was filled with the smell of oil and metal.
Ye Ling scratched her hair irritably.
The Jinx family is a group of guys who act tyrannically because of their ancestors' wealth.
In this mecha show, she defeated Jinx, the "little princess" of the Jinx family head-on, and slapped them hard in the face. The feud was completely settled.
"Just relying on them, you think you can deal with me?" Ye Ling sneered, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
But the next second, her smile disappeared.
She was very clear about the power of the Jinx family. Although they were not good at it openly, they had many means in secret.
More importantly, her own mecha technology is far from perfect, and this victory was somewhat due to luck.
Ye Ling walked to a half-finished mecha and gently stroked the cold metal shell.
If the Jinx family wants to take revenge, they will definitely exploit the weakness of her mecha.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling's heart sank.
Fate always seemed to like to deal her a heavy blow when she was just a little proud.
She felt like a dancer dancing on the edge of a cliff, and if she wasn't careful she would fall into the abyss.
"Oh, can't people just take a break?" Ye Ling sighed and rubbed his swollen temples.
Suddenly, the door of the workshop was pushed open and Orianna walked in with a hint of anxiety on her face.
"Ye Ling, you..." Orianna walked quickly to Ye Ling's side, her expression anxious. "Ye Ling, your 'Dawnbreaker'... during the demonstration just now, there was a slight crack in the thruster connecting shaft! Now we're short of a special alloy material, and we can't find a replacement for it for the time being."
Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat.
Dawn is the mecha that she has poured countless efforts into, just like her child.
This propeller connecting shaft is the core component she carefully designed.
Without it, Dawnbreak would be a lame duck, let alone any chance of revenge against the Jinx family.
She walked quickly to Dawn and followed Orianna's instructions, carefully examining the damaged area.
Sure enough, at the root of the propeller connecting shaft, a tiny crack was lurking like a poisonous snake, as if it would spread at any time and completely destroy the entire connecting shaft.
"Damn it!" Ye Ling cursed under her breath and scratched her hair in annoyance.
It's really a double whammy when it rains!
The air in the workshop seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Ye Ling felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.
"Do I... do I really have to admit defeat?" This thought circled in Ye Ling's mind like a ghost, making her feel powerless.
She was unwilling to give up. She had finally won the championship of the mecha show. Was she going to give up like this?
At this moment, Braun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Ye Ling, I... I might know where to find this alloy."
Ye Ling suddenly raised her head and looked at Bron, "Really? Where did you hear that?"
Bron stammered, "I... I heard there's a mysterious parts dealer in the black market who has all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Maybe... maybe he can help you."
black market?
Mysterious businessman?
Ye Ling's heart moved.
The black market is not a good place. It is a mixed bag of people and full of dangers.
However, in order to repair Dawn and fight against the Jinx family, she could no longer care about so much.
"Okay! Let's go now!" Ye Ling's eyes were firm and his tone was decisive.
Bron seemed startled by Ye Ling's decisiveness. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded silently.
"Wait a minute," Orianna suddenly stopped them, "The black market is no joke, you must be careful!"
Ye Ling smiled, patted Orianna on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will be fine."
After saying that, Ye Ling and Bron turned and left the workshop, disappearing into the dim night.
"I hope... this time it will go smoothly..." Orianna muttered to herself as she watched the two people leaving.
On the street, Bron took Ye Ling and walked towards the black market. The night wind blew the corners of their clothes, and a tense atmosphere spread between them.
"That businessman... can he really help us?" Ye Ling broke the silence.
Bron didn't answer immediately, but stopped and turned to look at Ye Ling, with an elusive look in his eyes...
The night breeze was blowing gently, and Bron took Ye Ling through the dim alleys and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated warehouse.
The iron door of the warehouse was covered with rust, and the light at the door flickered, as if it would go out at any time.
Ye Ling tightened her coat and felt a chill penetrate her bones.
"This is it." Braun's voice was a little nervous, but his eyes were firm.
Ye Ling nodded, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door of the warehouse.
Behind the door was darkness, with only a few dim light bulbs hanging on the ceiling, casting flickering light and shadows.
The air was filled with a smell mixed with engine oil and rust, which made people feel alert.
