Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao hadn't paid attention to anything for a while, Hu Yue asked Mingmei about the setting of Jinyi.
"Melee combat?"
Hu Yue hadn't expected that the mechs designed for this era would primarily be designed for close combat.
"They don't have any weapons on them? Like, the kind for ranged attacks?"
"without……"
Mingmei shook her head honestly, explaining that installing various weapons inside the mecha would affect its overall agility.
In addition, due to the special nature of close combat in Jinyi, the edges of its limbs are made into sharp blades, and the materials used are naturally extremely precious and plentiful. In order to ensure the fit of these materials, the mecha itself has been simplified to the most extreme.
Let the weapons synthesized from these materials, combined with Mingliang's skill, unleash their maximum power.
"If the Zerg knew you weren't good at ranged attacks, wouldn't they be useless if they kept their distance from you?"
"That's unlikely..."
Mingmei thought about the mecha carrying those insect cores, and she felt that was enough.
She couldn't tell anyone about this. Although it might not be a secret for long, the thought of being the center of attention wherever she went made her feel socially anxious again.
"Leave the ranged attacks to me." Mu Chen stood beside Mingmei, taking her hand without any hesitation. He then looked at the others and said, "We're all teammates; teamwork and cooperation are the most important things."
"That's right!"
Lu Xiaoyao always played along, and she could also help Mingmei end a topic that she didn't really want to continue, which made Mu Chen have a little more appreciation for Lu Xiaoyao.
Sun Yunzhong was at the control panel, constantly exchanging information with his companions on the neighboring starship. They were also busy "bluffing" about their next destination.
"Would I lie to you? As long as we all work together and follow instructions, I guarantee I'll help you earn points!"
When Madison sent a voice message in the public channel, he didn't forget to mention Sun Yunzhong's command ability at the end. Besides being able to command with an aura of authority, Sun Yunzhong felt a little embarrassed when he heard others praising him.
"Well done."
Just as Sun Yunzhong turned down the microphone volume, intending to cool down his already red ears, Mu Chen walked over with Mingmei.
"Ah... Mu..." Just as Sun Yunzhong was about to call out to Mu Chen, he met Mu Chen's gaze and immediately shut up, changing the subject to say, "Uncle, thank you for the compliment, Uncle."
Seeing Mu Chen nod slightly, seemingly recognizing him, he chuckled and scratched his head. Before he could say anything more, Mu Chen asked, "Does your mother know you joined the Sixth Legion?"
"..."
Seeing that Sun Yunzhong suddenly stopped talking and nervously gripped the hem of his pants, even Mingmei could tell that Sun Yunzhong probably hadn't told his family yet.
"Are you planning to wait until you actually join the Sixth Legion before telling your mother?"
"I……"
Mingmei looked at Sun Yunzhong, who was being reprimanded by Mu Chen in a slightly stern tone. Although the other party was not much younger than Mu Chen, he was indeed inferior to Mu Chen in terms of aura at this moment.
"Your mother only has you left."
"Uncle, why are you saying that too?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yunzhong immediately became agitated. Clearly, someone around him had tried to persuade him in this way, but to no avail.
“That’s the truth.” Regardless of whether the other party was angry or not, Mu Chen had to say what he needed to say. “My sister has the right to know everything. Whether she’s encouraging you or scolding you, since you’ve made this choice, you should face it.”
“But…” Sun Yunzhong’s lips trembled slightly as he mentioned his mother, and his voice trailed off at the end. “I’m afraid she’ll be sad… I don’t want to see the look of reluctance in my mother’s eyes. I’m afraid that if she cries, I’ll soften my heart.”
"So, if your older sister didn't support you, why do you think you were able to get into military academy and keep studying?" Mu Chen thought the boy in front of him was quite clever at times, and he was so clear-headed when he was in command, so why couldn't he understand this?
"Your older sister moved away from the Mu family a long time ago for your sake, raising you while guarding the things your father left behind when he passed away. Do you think she doesn't understand you? Do you think she doesn't know what you want to do?"
“I…” Sun Yunzhong was drawn into deep memories by Mu Chen’s words.
"Yun Zhong, will you come with me to visit your maternal grandfather and his family at the Mu family's house during the Spring Festival this year?"
“One of your cousins is in the Imperial Central Military Academy, in the same class as you. He’s very capable, and you can get to know him.”
"There's also a child from one of my great-aunts' families who works in the military on Hualan Star. If you want..."
His mother cheered him up and helped him get to know many relatives he had never met before.
“Last night, I dreamt of your father. He was still so young, but I seemed to have aged a lot…”
“Yunzhong, now that you’ve passed the exam, go study. Young man, you should always go out and see the world.”
“I’m doing fine at home alone. I visit your grandparents often, and everyone is doing well… Yunzhong, are you doing okay out there? You’re going to serve in the military soon, so please be careful while you’re away alone…”
His mother's words echoed in his mind once again. It was as if, just as Mu Chen had said, his mother seemed to know everything, yet she never said anything.
Seeing that Sun Yunzhong was about to cry, Mu Chen suddenly called him back to his senses. When Sun Yunzhong looked at him, Mu Chen simply said, "It's not too late to talk to your mother after the game is over."
"yes……"
