If time could stop at this moment, then the principle would feel that the entire world has stopped operating at this moment.

In the past period of time, he actually never thought seriously about Gu Qi.

He actually felt that nothing had changed, and he was once again the only one left in his life picture.

That unique beauty disappeared like a shooting star, leaving no trace.

He thinks he is fine.

But everyone around him thinks he is not good.

It was not until this moment, when he heard that familiar voice, that he realized that his calm heart was surging. The uncontrollable joy of regaining what he had lost and the impulse made him steady himself.

"Where are you?"

"Seven Seven."

He tried his best to calm himself down and spoke calmly and simply, as if he had no emotion at all.

But only he himself knew how pleading and urgent he was at that moment. He wanted to get close to her quickly, to hug her, and even to bury himself deeply in her neck, to hold that familiarity and warmth tightly in his arms.

"I am in the Osna Empire."

After hearing the sound, Gu Qi felt as if something sharp had pierced his heart. It didn't hurt, but it was itchy.

She lowered her eyes to the ground and answered softly.

"Qiqi, wait for me."

Gu Qi understood those few short words. She could feel his heartbeat, she could clearly hear the urgency in his heart. She could detect the emotions he tried hard to hide from his words.

After taking a deep breath, she said, "No, wait for me. I will be back soon."

In fact, it is mainly based on principle. If you come to the Osna Empire, it will also be a trouble.

Although on the surface the Federation and Osner have reached a truce and are on good terms, everyone knows what the actual situation is.

and……

Gu Qi looked at Yuan Qingze who walked out of the room, a smile appearing on his lips.

"I have a surprise for you."

On the other side, Yuan Zeyi picked up the stool he had knocked over, walked to the window and gazed at the hanging moon in the night sky.

He sighed softly, "Qiqi, you are my surprise."

Gu Qi's face turned red all of a sudden. She stood there at a loss, not knowing what expression she should have, what actions she should take, or what words she should say.

She fanned her face with her hands, trying to dispel the sudden heat on her face.

He cleared his throat and said quickly, "Ahem... well... I'm sleepy. Let's contact each other tomorrow."

After saying this, she hung up the call without waiting for Yuan Ze to reply.

After taking a deep breath, he raised his eyes and met the smiling eyes of Hara Qingze across from him.

Suddenly she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, and even the air felt a little awkward.

"It seems like you two have a very good relationship!" Hara Qingze smiled, his tone as normal as ever.

Gu Qi scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "…After all, we are very good friends."

"By the way, uncle, you should have heard my conversation with Ryan."

"Um."

"I think after this game, we should be able to go back to the Federation."

In fact, Hara Qingze is not very anxious at this point, after all, so many years have passed.

But will things really go as smoothly as they imagined?

He was actually a little worried, but he looked up at Gu Qi, whose cheeks were still slightly red, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

Ryan's efficiency is higher than Gu Qi expected.

The next day he had already prepared a high-end studio and informed all participants of the content of the competition.

The top three floors of the hotel are set up as mechanical workshops for the contestants to use. Each workshop door is entered by the contestants' wristbands and iris recognition, so confidentiality is extremely high.

The duration of the competition is based on who can first create an S-class mecha. If no one has created one after half a year, the competition will automatically end.

When Gu Qi heard this rule, he was actually complaining madly in his heart.

She felt that the Osna Empire was indeed wealthy and powerful!

"Gu...Miss Laura." Ryan found Gu Qi in the crowd.

Gu Qi bowed according to the etiquette of the Osna Empire: "Prince Ryan."

"Ahem." To be honest, Ryan was not used to seeing Gu Qi pretending to be a lady in front of him. "Miss Laura, I have some questions for you. Please come with me."

"yes."

The two of them left one after the other with a very righteous expression. Behind them, Liz looked in the direction they left with a gloomy look.

"I have arranged for your studio to be on the top floor. You can take a look and see if there is anything missing. I will have someone prepare it."

After the two men opened the door, Gu Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he looked inside.

Too...too exaggerated!

This studio is even bigger than the one she saw at Master Ming's studio. Not only that, the decoration of the entire studio undoubtedly exudes refinement and luxury.

In addition, all the tools are quite complete, and two identical sets are prepared as spares.

There is also a lounge on one side for guests to use.

"Are you not prepared enough? Can you tell me what else you need?"

Ryan looked at her and asked seriously after she hadn't said anything for a long time.

"No... this is enough."

She suddenly remembered the simple environment at Hualuxing, and even wondered if Ryan had misunderstood something.

"Let's discuss the requirements of the mecha first."

Gu Qi felt that if he didn't divert his attention, he might have to add some gorgeous but impractical things to this studio.

Back to the point, Ryan obviously no longer mentioned the issue just mentioned.

"Let's test your overall data sometime."

This was also the first time that Gu Qi made a mecha for someone else. Since she had agreed to do it, she had to do it well.

Master Ming once taught her that when making a mecha for someone else, it must closely follow the operator's data.

As for how to read the data, Master Ming had not yet had the time to tell her in detail.

However, Gu Qi thought about the method he used to make a mecha for himself on Hualu Star, and perhaps this was the only way.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and asked, "Ryan, do you have any secret training grounds?"

Ryan was stunned for a moment when he saw her serious expression, then nodded.

"Well, let's have a fight."

Ryan saw that she wasn't joking at all, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

But he knew that he... couldn't beat her.

But he also knew that Gu Qi probably had his own intentions, so he sighed slightly and said, "Okay, come with me."

The two of them went down from his private elevator, but did not notice a glimpse of sight around the corner.

Only after the figure completely disappeared did the shadow at the corner turn around and leave.

——

Ryan's training ground was in the castle. In order to prevent outsiders from seeing Gu Qi, the prince's exclusive suspension vehicle always stopped at the door of his training room.

"All of you, step back." Ryan got out of the car first and withdrew the soldiers guarding the door of the training room.

He let Gu Qi out of the car only after everyone had left.

"This training room was built specifically for me by my father. It uses the strongest defensive materials in the Osna Empire, so you don't have to worry about the mecha testing phase."

Gu Qi touched the wall and raised his eyebrows.

I didn't expect that this material is not inferior to Master Ming's test room at all.

"Okay, use the mecha that you are most familiar with first."

Gu Qi took out the new mecha she made on Hualu Star.

It just so happens that today I can let her test whether the new mecha is successful or not.

Ryan took a closer look. Although they were both black mechas, this one was obviously different from the previous one, and from the feeling, this mecha looked a little ordinary.

He asked, "Where is the black mecha you had earlier?"

Gu Qi: "Sacrificed."

Ryan's eyes flashed with regret, "That is also an S-class mecha, right?"

Gu Qi nodded without hiding anything: "It's called the Vanguard, and it was the first S-class mecha made by Master Ming."

After both of you are ready, stand facing each other.

Gu Qi spoke up: "Let me make it clear, please attack me with all your strength, and show no mercy."

Only in this way could she sense his most thorough power.

Ryan frowned: "Although I am not as strong as you, if I use all my strength, you will still get hurt."

Gu Qi smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

The confidence in her tone made Ryan feel as if he was being looked down upon, and he could not help but snort coldly.

If Gu Qi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.

She chose to take out the new mecha because she thought Ryan was very strong. Otherwise, she would have used the A-class mecha that Gu Yuan prepared for her a long time ago.

"Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite."

Ryan was eager to try. When he knew that Gu Qi was very strong, he had long wanted to fight her.

He wanted to know how big the gap was between them since they were both S-level.

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over there impatiently.

Half an hour later, Ryan lay on the ground, panting, and glanced silently at Gu Qi who had just come out of the mecha cabin opposite him.

Seeing her relaxed look, he was so angry that he was speechless.

In the past half hour, he had tried his best to deal with her, but she kept dodging his attacks and was always able to easily resolve them.

He went from being full of passion at the beginning to being shocked, despairing, and finally numb. He even began to doubt his own abilities.

He is the second prince of the Osna Empire.

Is it really a double S?

"Well, what did you say? Of course it's true." Gu Qi looked down at the exhausted man in confusion.

Ryan raised his hands to shield himself, and before he knew it he had spoken out what was in his heart.

"Really, you are very strong."

Gu Qi was seriously evaluating Ryan's abilities.

Because her level is so high, she can actually always sense the level of everyone around her.

Even S-class.

From the double S's she had seen, Ryan and Principle One should be equally powerful.

The next ones are Lu Zhifeng and Yuan Mo.

Apart from their generation, she thinks the strongest person should be Hara Kiyosawa.

I heard that Hara Kiyosawa was only Double A before, but after so many years, his strength seems to have improved a lot.

Ryan thought she was probably trying to comfort herself, and said weakly, "Well, I really appreciate your compliment."

Gu Qi smiled and replied, "You're welcome."

Ryan sighed deeply.

Suddenly I feel that the peace agreement signed between the Osna Empire and the Federation is really good.

He moved his hand away and glanced at Gu Qi who was packing up.

Looks solemn.

The strength of the person in front of him is truly unfathomable!
