Most importantly, whether by coincidence or not, this mecha's codename is "Black Yama," which is the same as the name of the powerful weapon she once used, the Black Yama Spear.
Right after she finished choosing her mecha, Lu Yuan revealed the decision he had already made.
"We don't have time for you to slowly adapt to the mecha. Tomorrow I will spread the word that you have entered the combat system, which will disrupt his plans. I will replace your training with actual combat and arrange suitable opponents for you in the second module arena. With your strength, you should be able to adapt quickly. At the same time, starting from the first match tomorrow, I will allow the media to broadcast it live. Don't worry, I will make sure you keep winning."
The game is unpredictable, but if it's Lu Yuan, then this isn't a problem.
Xia Yixin understood Lu Yuan's meaning. He wanted her to become famous, and at the same time, he wanted to get the whole nation involved in this "crisis." To put it nicely, it was called rallying public support; to put it bluntly, it was incitement.
Even if Qian Dahai gains power in the future, the people in Zone B will not stand on his side.
However, there is a fatal problem.
“Qian Dahai can’t just obediently watch us get the people in Zone B to stand on our side.” Xia Yixin frowned slightly.
"Of course he can't, but the combat system can't be modified from the outside. We're racing against time, and as long as you appear in public in your mech, we've already won. Once the battle begins, I need you to go to the preparation area with the media's 'eyes' and state the information of 'rebellion' definitively."
Lu Yuan's plan seemed flawless, but Xia Yixin always felt that something was missing, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Instead, Lu Yuan mistakenly thought that her furrowed brows indicated she was worried about something else, and changed the subject, "After this battle, I will revise the Allied laws regarding the third type of affection. Together, we will build a brand new Allied nation."
Xia Yixin didn't understand at first, but she realized what Lu Yuan meant after he finished speaking.
He really listened to her advice and decided to amend the laws of the Alliance, which is a major event that could shake up all aspects of the Alliance!
Meeting his earnest gaze, Xia Yixin felt inexplicably hesitant, especially by his use of the word "we".
"The Commander-in-Chief is truly dedicated to the people; I knew I hadn't misjudged him." She ultimately decided to laugh it off.
Lu Yuan didn't press further, but simply looked at her with deep eyes.
The atmosphere was eerily calm on the way back to the Consul General's residence that day. Xia Yixin noticed that Lu Yuan seemed to be in a bad mood, but she pretended not to notice.
Night fell over the entire planet. Against the backdrop of darkness in Area B, the nine Sky Cities shone even brighter. Flying vehicles shuttled back and forth, neon lights flashed, and giant, ever-changing laser signs illuminated the sky cities. Even though it was past midnight, the people in the Sky Cities were still bustling about.
Looking at the pretty girl reflected in the glass, there was hesitation in her eyes, but gradually only determination remained.
She knew that running away was wrong.
But even if she reveals the truth, the situation might get worse. Besides, she has already placed the chip in the "safe zone" today, so she might get the answer she wants tonight.
Whether this place is real or an illusion, she cannot be with him.
She didn't want to one day find herself unable to distinguish whether she truly loved him or was experiencing the same "transference" as him, as that would be unfair to both of them.
Moreover, he and Lu Yan were originally two different people.
Xia Yixin gradually calmed herself down and regained her composure.
As for Lu Yuan, he saw her rejection and understood why she rejected him. It was because of the virtual Lu Yan in that "experimental system." If someone had told him a few months ago that he would be jealous of a virtual character, he would have thought they were joking.
But now, even though they are very close, he feels a sense of distance.
He finally understood what he was feeling: jealousy and anger.
Even so, he will not give up.
His primary purpose in lifting the third category of affection laws was for his own benefit.
Lu Yuan's idea was simple: once he dealt with Qian Dahai's matter, he would keep her by his side even if he had to use force.
Even if she hates him.
The two returned to the Consul General's residence, each with their own thoughts.
The next day.
As expected, a piece of news appeared on the front page of major media outlets.
[Breaking News! The Alliance's first B-grade gene user and 3S mental power user may break the default rules of many eras!]
The report detailed how Lu Yuan took Xia Yixin to choose a mecha, verified her as a 3S-level mental power user, and that she would enter the combat system for the first time that day.
Upon seeing this news, everyone's first reaction was shock and disbelief.
"How is this possible! How could a B-grade gene user have 3S-level mental strength? Wasn't his data from the Alliance University supposed to be A+?!"
"I think this must be false advertising. Even if she is Commander Lu's matchmaker, she could never be a 3S-level mental power user! Absolutely impossible!"
On Sky City, A-level gene users from various industries posted their opinions on social media. Some were shocked, some were skeptical, and surprisingly, there was also a large group of supporters, most of whom, like Wang Cheng, were graduates of the Alliance University.
"How is that impossible! Our senior is the only B-grade gene user in an entire era to graduate from the Alliance University!"
"Support the Alliance University! Long live the Queen Mother!"
...
Many A-level gene users were still very curious, and almost everyone with access to the combat system went to watch the excitement.
It almost caused the system to crash at one point. It was only after traffic throttling was implemented that things improved somewhat. Even so, more than 10,000 people still went in to watch that day.
Although the report said that Xia Yixin would enter the combat system that day, it did not specify the time, and everyone was waiting inside.
What surprised everyone the most was that news media actually got the right to broadcast the first live, so many mecha warriors labeled with a certain live streaming platform appeared in the crowd watching the spectacle.
