Looking at the tightly closed doors of the mecha hall, Shi Xi felt a rare surge of curiosity.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Shi Xi looked at Chi Zaiqing, who was waiting for his answer.
"May I go in?"
"Of course," Chi Zaiqing said with a smile.
As he spoke, he pressed the button for the main door, and the heavy door slowly slid open to both sides.
The first thing you see is a long, straight corridor with more than a dozen high-tech, assembled mechs on both sides.
Each mech is equipped with a variety of weapons, and it seems they can be deployed into battle at any moment.
That's truly amazing.
Shi Xi looked at the scene before her and paused for a moment.
Chi Zaiqing pulled him aside and whispered the introduction in his ear, making Shi Xi feel like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden.
"The one with metal wings is the speed type, the largest one has the best defense, the red one can breathe fire, and the white one is a reconnaissance mech."
"The black mech at the very front is an all-around model custom-made by Jiang Yichen..."
Shi Xi's gaze was immediately drawn to it; upon hearing Jiang Yichen's name, she knew that the aircraft was a key prop—
Gao Buran died in this mecha.
The original plot was that the Empire and the Zerg were locked in a stalemate, and Jiang Yichen went deep into the Zerg's lair alone, severely damaging the Zerg Queen, but was trapped in the Zerg camp due to the betrayal of his confidants.
When this news spread, the empire was thrown into chaos, and the people were filled with fear.
Upon learning the news, Chi Zaiqing disregarded Chi Yan'an's repeated objections and piloted his mecha to the front lines.
After much deliberation, the original owner finally decided to go with him and take his place when she unexpectedly learned that Chi Zaiqing planned to pilot the mecha to rescue Jiang Yichen.
Finally, Jiang Yichen fled the Zerg stronghold with his corpse.
The original owner was covered in wounds, but his heart was intact.
Jiang Yichen respected his will and gave his heart to Gao Tingyu.
"It's not finished yet," Chi Yan'an said.
He stood next to the mecha, wearing a silver monocle and a black suit, which, combined with his short blond hair, made his features appear even more deep and handsome.
Chi Yan'an pushed up his mirror, and his cold, deep blue eyes suddenly darkened when he saw Chi Zaiqing standing next to Shi Xi.
He looked at Shi Xi.
This beta is surprisingly clingy; I just saw it at the dinner table.
Now they've come looking for him again.
I can't be without him for a moment.
Tsk.
This is really troublesome.
"Would you like to take a look around the driver's cab?" Chi Yan'an asked. "I can give you a brief introduction."
Shi Xi was overjoyed.
Familiarize yourself with it beforehand, and you'll be more at ease when the time comes.
"Okay," Shi Xi said. "Thank you for your help."
Chi Yan'an nodded slightly and said to Chi Zaiqing, who wanted to follow, "The driver's seat can only hold two people. You stay here."
...
Chi Yan'an entered the password and opened the cockpit.
Shi Xi entered and found rows of colorful buttons and seven or eight virtual screens. Standing there, one could have a clear view of the outside world.
Chi Yan'an stood behind Shi Xi, pointing to the button that controlled the motherboard—
"The red one is the start button." He pressed it, and an electronic voice immediately came from inside the mech—
"The Source Eater is now operational. It's a pleasure to serve you."
Shi Xi's eyes brightened slightly as she listened intently to Chi Yan'an's words.
With limited space in the cockpit, Chi Yan'an bent over and placed his hands on the control panel to better explain, practically embracing Shi Xi completely beneath him.
Because they were so close, his hand would occasionally touch Shi Xi's arm and elbow.
"Can you remember it?" Chi Yan'an couldn't help but ask, looking at Shi Xi who was listening attentively.
"Yes." Shi Xi nodded.
Chi Yan'an was somewhat uncertain. There were hundreds of buttons here, and very few people could remember them all after just one explanation.
He lowered his eyes, considering whether he should introduce it again.
Shi Xi felt that his introduction was very detailed, not at all like a simple introduction.
He raised his wrist and glanced at it, realizing that an hour had passed.
Chi Yan'an noticed his actions and thought that Shi Xi was getting impatient because he had talked too much.
He straightened up, adjusted his glasses, pursed his lips, and said, "Actually, there's another simple way."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi's eyes lit up immediately. "What method?"
Chi Yan'an merely glanced down at him, then took a step forward, reached out, grasped Shi Xi's hand, and pressed it onto a panel emitting white light.
"Connect directly using mental power."
The warm, smooth touch made Chi Yan'an's fingertips tremble slightly. He released his grip and said, "However, this method is quite dangerous, so very few people use it."
The next second, a holographic screen suddenly popped up in the cockpit.
[Beep beep beep - An excessively fast heart rate of 180 beats per minute has been detected in the cockpit. It is recommended that you exit the cockpit.]
Upon hearing the notification sound, Chi Yan'an waved his hand, and the holographic screen in front of him vanished instantly.
Shi Xi looked at him curiously.
"The function is not perfect and occasionally there will be detection errors." After a three-second pause, Chi Yan'an answered.
Shi Xi didn't care, after all, Chi Yan'an had said from the beginning that the mecha was not yet completed and was still a semi-finished product.
I didn't expect Chi Yan'an to be so easy to get along with, and to be able to patiently talk to him for an hour.
Shi Xi sighed inwardly.
He really loves mecha.
...
After the introductions were completed, the two men exited the cockpit.
Chi Yan'an hesitated for a moment, then said to Shi Xi, "I've been quite busy lately, but I'll spend time with you when I'm done."
Now that he's decided to be with Shi Xi, he should spend more time with her.
It can't always be Shi Xi coming to find him.
"？？？" Shi Xi.
Will you stay with me?
Does this mean that once things are done, they'll settle scores later?
\"Need not.\"
"If you have something to do, go ahead and do it." Please, have mercy and let me go.
Chi Yan'an looked calmly at Shi Xi—
This person is quite sensible.
Shi Xi felt that his deathly gaze was a little unbearable, but his expression did not change at all, only his back was sweating profusely.
"Aran."
For the first time, Shi Xi felt that the pampered young master's voice was like heavenly music.
Ignoring Chi Yan'an standing to the side, Chi Zaiqing pulled Shi Xi over and wrapped her arm around hers. "Why did you take so long?"
"It's my first time seeing a mecha, and I'm very curious," Shi Xi said, glancing at Chi Yan'an.
He just stood there, his face expressionless.
"Next time, I won't trouble you, brother. I'll explain it to you." Chi Zaiqing deliberately raised his voice and said to Shi Xi.
"No trouble at all, it's nothing." Chi Yan'an said in a cold tone.
As for what should be done and why...
Chi Yan'an didn't say it explicitly, and Chi Zaiqing knew it perfectly well but didn't point it out.
Unable to understand what the two brothers were talking about, Shi Xi glanced at the time and simply took her leave.
"I have tasks to complete tomorrow, so I'll take my leave now."
Chi Yan'an and Chi Zaiqing exchanged a glance. "How about you stay tonight, and we'll send you away tomorrow morning?"
Chi Zaiqing grabbed Shi Xi's arm directly, "Aran, stay here~"
