The group arrived at Xita Star. They did not stay in a hotel. With the help of Ying Xingjue, they successfully stayed at the training ground.
However, before entering the Xita competition ground, several people had to prepare the necessary items. Fortunately, this was not a competition, so there was no restriction on items and they could bring anything.
Wei San brought nutrient solution and energy, while the Shan Gong brothers and sisters prepared a lot of mecha materials in case they needed to repair the mecha in the competition ground.
"If you want me to help you repair the mecha, you have to pay for it." Wei San said, looking at their combat kits.
The Yamamiya siblings didn't know much about Wei San's nature, after all, they didn't deal with him often, so they asked honestly: "How much do you want?"
Wei San looked at their list, picked and chose from it, and asked for a shield material: "This."
"This is our best shield material." Yamamiya Yunan said.
"With your strength, the shield won't be that effective." Wei San analyzed seriously, "I believe in your ability to deal with most star beasts, no problem at all."
Yamamiya Ha Ren and Yamamiya Yunan looked at each other and felt a little relieved. Others praised them, and they didn't care much, but why did these words sound so good when they came out of Wei San's mouth?
"If you really encounter a star beast that can hurt you, this shield material will be useless and not worth it." Wei San continued to lobby, "It's better to give it to me as labor fee."
After hesitating for a while, Yamamiya Ha Ren came to his senses: "Since we can't use it, what do you want it for?"
Wei San sighed: "I'm poor and have never seen any good materials. You also know how much material a mecha pilot uses in a year, and it costs money, so..."
Yamamiya Yongnan actually felt some sympathy for Wei San. He poked her brother quietly and whispered: "Why not give it to her? We really can't use it much." Thinking that a single soldier relying on a shield will only restrict his own hands and feet.
Yamamiya Haroren: “…Okay.”
“Then I will help you modify the mecha a little bit.” Wei San immediately stood up and said, they have to go into the sea to deal with the unknown star beast in the West Tower arena, and the mecha needs to be adjusted.
It is not difficult to modify this, and it does not take much time, mainly it is to replace parts.
There was no one in the entire training ground, and the original person in charge of patrol was also transferred by Ying Xingjue. After Wei San helped the two people change, the Yamamiya siblings went to the training ground for warm-up trials. After she modified her own mecha, she did not leave, but waited for Ying Xingjue to come over.
Wei San looked at the protective shield material given by the Yamamiya siblings in the studio. It was a star beast shell unique to the Nanpasi star. It was hard but light, suitable for making a protective shield.
"Have you finished modifying your mecha?" Ying Xingjue rushed to the studio after taking care of the details of going to the competition venue, and saw only Wei San inside.
Wei San turned around and said, "Give me your mecha."
Ying Xingjue took off the mecha ring from his right index finger and handed it to Wei San, and then took out replacement parts.
"I've seen your mecha before." Wei San took it, released the mecha and said, "It's not particularly suitable for you."
The golden armor is considered qualified for a 3s-level commander, but Ying Xingjue is not an ordinary commander. In Wei San's opinion, the protective ability of the golden armor is still weak.
Wei San began to replace the parts of the golden armor. She stood in front of the mecha and said, "But the Federation should not have a mecha suitable for you at present."
The Federation did not have a mecha beyond the 3s level, and even Wuchang was just barely on the edge, lacking high-level materials.
"After this time, maybe you can see if there are any materials on the star beast that are suitable for you." Wei San said as he picked up the protective shield material he had just asked for.
Ying Xingjue stood beside, with black hair, black eyes, and skin like cold jade. Under the incandescent light, his handsome features were too distinct. His eyes fell quietly on the man next to the mecha, and he said casually, "Gong Yi feels that super 3S-level materials cannot be used."
Wei San was thinking about how to put the protective shield materials in his hand on Ying Xingjue's mecha. Hearing this, he said casually, "I'll help you."
Ying Xingjue retracted his eyes and lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."
"I'll help you remove the protective shield near the mecha cabin and replace it with this." Wei San turned his head and pointed to a piece of material in his hand, "In addition, the attack power of the golden armor will be reduced, you just need to protect yourself."
"Okay." Ying Xingjue did not reject any of Wei San's changes.
After Wei San finished modifying the mecha, he had almost no time to rest. It was night, and the shield was about to be opened, and they had to rush over.
...
"So, you even got the ship?" Yamamiya Ha Ren looked up at the star ship by the sea, and looked at Ying Xingjue in shock.
Didn't they sneak in? Why did it feel like the entire Xita arena was open to them? Not only did they get in smoothly, but now they even got the ship.
"Go on board." Ying Xingjue didn't think this was difficult.
The four of them got on the ship and set off for the sea.
It felt a little strange that there were only a few people in a large star ship. Yamamiya Ha Ren and Yamamiya Yunan were even a little worried, and they patrolled back and forth before they were done.
"Can you find where the star beast is?" Wei San stood on the deck and asked Ying Xingjue.
"This is the full view of the West Tower Arena." Ying Xingjue turned on the computer and showed her a map, pointing to a circled area on it, "This area was not open in previous years, but when we came here before, the end point was set here, and the star beast should be nearby."
"It will take two days for the star ship to go there." Wei San looked down at the map and calculated the distance.
"Don't worry about other star beasts on the way, we will go directly there, it will be faster."
The plan was agreed upon, and the four of them prepared to take turns to rest. The Shanmiya brothers and sisters were responsible for the first half of the night, and Wei San and Ying Xingjue were responsible for the second half of the night.
With the star ship, no star beasts followed, and the night was calm.
Yamamiya Yongnan walked around and came back and ran into Yamamiya Ha Ren.
"Brother, Master Yu wants us to come here just to build a good relationship with Wei San and let her help us design a mecha?"
Yamamiya Ha Ren shook his head: "Not only that, Master Yu and our teacher have always been at odds, and they are arguing again this time. It was a unanimous decision for them to let us get out and stay away from the dispute."
'Our teacher' refers to Yamamiya Yangling, who has been leading the Yamamiya brothers and sisters and personally instructing them.
In recent years, Master Yu and Yamamiya Yangling have had different ideologies and are considered representatives of two factions of the Independence Army. At first, the two were typical omni-killers, and they would kill anyone infected to prevent others from being injured or killed, but later, Master Yu began to use black insect mist and tried to apply it to mechas, and a crack began to appear in their relationship.
"There are many people who are more radical than Master Yu." Yamamiya Yunan said, "Didn't Jill Wood's faction also proceed after the general commander agreed? There is no need for you to keep arguing with Master Yu."
"These are just the people on the surface. There are people who are more radical in private. The black factory's Lie Que is dead." Yamamiya Bo Ren sneered.
"The person who was saved by Doctor Jing?" Yamamiya Yunan frowned. She had heard of Lie Que. He had an accident at the black factory on Shadu Star and was sent to Doctor Jingti. In the end, he was saved and handed over to the control of the Nanpasi black factory.
"Black insect mist was used on mechas and human bodies in private. It's a miracle that he is still alive today." Yamamiya Ha Ren said, "The independent army is now looking for Aful."
"Who?"
"A mecha master who transforms mechas and human bodies. He used to be involved in major black factories. Li Que colluded with him, which led to this end." Yamamiya Ha Ren didn't know the specific situation, but before coming, he heard Yamamiya Yang Ling talking to someone outside the door.
Now the competition is suspended, and all military regions are closed. The independent army seems to be planning other things, and the entire federation presents a kind of calm before the storm.
The two talked for a while, and then walked to the front of the deck to change shifts with Ying Xingjue and Wei San.
Wei San and Ying Xingjue had been resting on the deck. She had not slept very well to begin with. When she heard their footsteps, she opened her eyes immediately. Ying Xingjue, who was leaning against the wall beside her, also stood up.
"Let's go and rest first." Yamamiya Ha Ren and Wei San took over and went directly into the cabin. "
Okay." Wei San nodded.
"We'll probably be there tomorrow afternoon." Ying Xingjue looked at the current position of the starship and said.
Wei San stood in front of the deck, looking at the calm sea, and asked Ying Xingjue: "What do you think of Ying Youjin?"
Ying Xingjue stepped forward, stood side by side with her, and put his hands on the railing of the boat: "The commander-in-chief of the independent army."
Wei San lowered his head and laughed: "Your commander likes to label people."
The sea breeze blew over, and it felt a bit lazy on the face. It was hard to imagine that under the sea there were man-eating star monsters.
Ying Xingjue turned his head to look at her. His long hair was a little messy due to the wind, but it did not affect his appearance and temperament at all. He whispered: "Wei San, no matter what it is, there is always a way to deal with it."
Wei San raised his eyebrows and approached Ying Xingjue. The two turned sideways and faced each other. She raised her hand to help him tuck his long hair behind his ears, and her fingertips gently slid down along the tip of his ear.
Ying Xingjue's Adam's apple moved, but he did not turn his head away, and his dark eyes looked at the person opposite him quietly.
Wei San looked down, and his warm fingertips slowly slid across his earlobe, stroked his neck, and finally picked up the 'necklace' and said with a smile: "I've already given you the solution."
Ying Xingjue lowered his eyelashes, raised his hand and held her hand for a moment, and took back the 'necklace': "You know that's not what I meant."
"Whatever, I've been quite happy these years." Wei San turned his head back to look at the sea, "It's worth it to have met so many friends."
"...You only know those people of Damocles." Ying Xingjue suddenly said.
"What?" Wei San was stunned, not quite understanding what Ying Xingjue meant.
"There are still many people." Ying Xingjue raised his eyes to meet Wei San's, and said word by word, "You don't know them." There
was a silence on the deck. After a moment, Wei San nodded seriously, and said with some curiosity: "You are right. There are still many people I don't know."
At least like you, I have never seen you look like today.
...
The star ship was moving at a fast speed, and even arrived at their destination a few hours in advance. At noon, several people stopped at the sea surface where the star beast might exist.
"I'll go down first to see if the tentacle star beast is still there." Wei San looked at the island in front and said.
Ying Xingjue wanted to go with her, and Wei San thought about it and agreed.
The two of them were on the deck, released the mecha, quickly entered the mecha cabin, and jumped into the sea.
The brother and sister stood on the boat waiting for them. After a while, Yamamiya Yunan asked Yamamiya Hazin: "Brother, am I dazzled? Why do I feel that our shield material is on the Ying Xingjue mecha?"
Yamamiya Hazin: "... Maybe the Ying family bought it at a high price." Yamamiya
Yunan nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, the Ying family is rich." It's not surprising to have such a rare material. It can't be given by Wei San. She picked it up so hard.
