Chapter 62: It's over, the truth has been revealed.
Qiao Mei wiped the blood from her nose and ears with her hand, and honestly replied while wiping it with a wet tissue:
"It's not a big problem. It's probably because I used too much mental energy to use the Ghost Assassin mech's stealth function. I used this stealth function, which makes me immune to any touch or damage, to dodge the artillery shells."
After saying that, Qiao Mei didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it. She looked at Xingxing, whose expression had become blank, with a puzzled look, wiped the blood that had seeped out of her ear, and continued, "Since you can recognize the Forest Assassin Mech, you should know that it has this function, right?"
Shu Qingqing and the viewers in the live stream were also watching Qiao Mei closely, wanting to see how she managed to dodge those fifteen artillery shells.
They had considered many possibilities, but they never imagined that Qiao Mei could actually use the stealth function of the Ghost Assassin mech!
Xingxing lifted his jaw, which was about to drop in shock, with her hand, swallowed hard, and said in a complicated tone, "Of course I know, but do you know that this function is an A-level function? Generally, only those with the strength of a Saint Beast Venerable can use it!!"
Qiao Mei was stunned. As the Ghost Assassin mech continued toward the location of the star, she opened the instruction manual and finally found the answer in a line of text so small it was almost invisible.
[Note: Mech functions are divided into four levels from highest to lowest: S, A, B, and C. The higher the level, the less mental energy is required. It is recommended that pilots start with the most basic level, C, otherwise there is a high chance of wasting a lot of energy and being unable to use the mech functions.]
The font was not only small, but it was also printed in a scattered manner, similar to the production date. Qiao Mei glanced at it at the time, and because the font was so small, she subconsciously thought it was something unimportant. In addition, she rarely had the opportunity to operate interstellar mechs, and none of the books she had read about mechs specifically mentioned this, so she had no idea that this thing existed.
In other words, she had unintentionally shown off a little and revealed some of the limits of her abilities.
Xingxing looked at the silent Qiao Mei and said in disbelief, "You don't know this? Didn't you read the instruction manual properly?!"
Qiao Mei remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Afterwards, he felt a strong bloody taste in his mouth and couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
But she didn't really feel much pain; at most, it felt like she had just been sitting in a car for a long time and had gotten carsick and vomited.
Seeing Qiao Mei's condition, Xingxing's expression turned worried, and he asked her where she was. He had a supply pack there, and she could drink some recovery potion later. Her overused mental energy should recover a lot.
The Ghost Assassin mech is an A+ grade mech, and it's very fast. Just as Qiao Mei was about to check where she was, she saw the Goddess mech on the cockpit screen.
So he landed the mech and got out of the cockpit.
After she came out, she uncontrollably vomited several mouthfuls of blood, which looked terrifying.
Xingxing quickly handed her a large vial of recovery fluid. After seeing that her complexion improved after drinking it, he asked another question that he had been wanting to ask.
"Hey Rose, tell me honestly, do you work for the Federal Army in real life?"
Qiao Mei put the empty recovery fluid test tube into her computer space, frowned and looked at Xingxing: "No, why do you ask?"
Watching this scene from outside the live stream screen, Shu Qingqing muttered speechlessly, "Is that even a question? Of course it's about you being able to pilot two mechs at once. It's like you've witnessed some kind of history..."
Xingxing replied in the same way, which left Qiao Mei bewildered again, her golden eyes filled with great confusion.
Are there limitations to dual-user mechs?
She genuinely didn't see it in the original book's plot, nor in the mecha knowledge she had read.
Xingxing's expression remained complicated: "Yes, don't tell me you're only finding out now. Dual-armor mechs require a very high level of mental strength. In the history of interstellar space, only Grandpa Xu, who was once the Deputy Marshal of the Federation, has ever done it. After that, it was you."
Qiao Mei: "......."
Oh no, we're exposed! If she really knew, she definitely wouldn't have been so high-profile!
But now... in her panic, Qiao Mei saw a reflection of her current appearance on the computer screen.
Not only is he male, but he also has white hair and golden eyes, and is the same height as an eight-year-old child. He is completely unrelated to the real-life woman.
So he breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's hurry up and run from the poison gas. The safe zone is going to shrink again soon. If we can survive until we get into this zone, we can make it to the finals."
As Qiao Mei's voice fell, the elimination notification sound in the arena continued to ring out. The number of survivors remaining had been reduced from more than two thousand to just over eight hundred.
Xingxing noticed Qiao Mei's reluctance to discuss the matter further, so she wisely refrained from pressing the issue. After Qiao Mei had rested, they resumed their previous stealthy tactics, putting away the mecha and taking some more secluded paths.
The rest of the journey was relatively smooth. There weren't many contestants left, and most of them were busy fighting each other. No one noticed Qiao Mei and her companion, who were only the size of ants.
After watching Rose No. 233 and Star No. 555 successfully enter the last safe zone from outside the live broadcast screen, Shu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief for them and then launched another poll in the live broadcast room.
But this vote is about whether Rose and Star can successfully survive to the final round.
The viewers in the live stream witnessed the bizarre behavior of the two, and since Shu Qingqing had already won the vote twice in a row, most viewers chose to follow Shu Qingqing's choice this time, betting that Qiao Mei and her team could successfully advance to the finals.
On the screen, Qiao Mei looked at the counting light screen projected by the official flying robot in the night sky. She glanced at the numbers that were decreasing rapidly and the countdown time. She wondered if she had used too much mental energy, but when she looked at those numbers, she felt like she was seeing double.
He could only drink another vial of recovery potion to adjust his condition. After the poisonous fog had completely covered the outer poison circle, he only released the Flying Ape Mech and the Star Goddess Mech back to back, keeping a close watch on their surroundings.
Whether she can get one step closer to winning the 50,000 Star Coins prize and unban her banned account depends on these last two hours.
Inside the Federal Legion Building.
An enlarged screen was playing a scene showing Qiao Mei on high alert.
The middle-aged man, watching the content on the screen, stubbed out his cigar and said in a deep voice, "Now adjust the location of this 'Plant a Rose' for me. I want to see who it is."
With such outstanding talent, it would be best to use it for their benefit, otherwise...
The man's eyes grew colder, and when he looked at the "cute boy" on the screen again, his eyes revealed murderous intent.
Star: What kind of powerful person did I just manage to latch onto? (Star's adoring eyes)
Qiao Mei: ...She really didn't mean to show off!
