Chapter 173 Why Can She Do It
In the Federal stadium, the champagne bottle that was opened at halftime broke, and the wine was spilled all over the floor. The cleaning robots came to clean it up diligently, and they were the only ones moving in the entire stadium.
Tan Sen Meilin sat in the cocoon cabin, unable to muster the strength to stand up and walk out. Cold sweat adhered to his forehead, and the scene he saw in the cabin kept replaying in his mind.
Xu Lingqu was a lunatic. To a normal person, that meteorite swarm looked like tens of thousands of giant fireballs moving at high speed and without any regularity. No one would have rushed in like she did if they weren't looking for death. Not to mention using battleships' guns to blast those fireballs and navigate through the rubble.
His hands trembled. How on earth had she done it? How dare she?
The situation inside the Imperial Stadium was not much better. Colonel Ren and Professor Zhuang in the commentary booth were speechless and remained silent. Everyone was in shock.
Xu Lingqu, on the other hand, was like nothing had happened. She withdrew from the cocoon cabin and went straight back to Moye's commander's lounge as usual. This time, everyone was in shock and no one came to bother her with random questions. She was happy and at ease.
After about five minutes, Colonel Ren spoke with difficulty, "Just now, Xu Lingqu broke the Merlin family's years-long monopoly on this speedrunning map with a time of 30 minutes and 56 seconds. Finally, the Moye Military Academy also won the Space Team's strong point, the United Nations, with an absolute advantage... almost completely annihilating them."
In the end, it was not counted as a complete annihilation because Tansen Meilin was still alive. Xu Lingqu spared his life and entered the speed race map to watch her closely and set a record for 30 minutes.
For Xu Lingqu, if he really wanted to humiliate someone, there were too many ways to do it, and simply annihilating them was too boring.
The few people in the VIP viewing seats also came to their senses. Xu Lingqu had just delivered an almost perfect starship driving combat performance.
"30 minutes! That's 50 minutes faster than an hour and 20 minutes," Black Hawk muttered. "Are those records you found really from Xu Lingqu? I don't believe it."
30 minutes is a dimensionality reduction blow to any current results.
"I don't know." Jin Fang Taibai shook his head, his eyes a little dull. "Xu Lingqu...how did he dare to drive the Wanderer into the meteorite group?"
I can’t imagine how scary the first-person perspective is. Seventy percent of the pain, what’s the difference between this and a person actively running into a fire?
Jiang You shook his head: "Their Moye Military Academy is a huge mental hospital."
Everyone was seriously ill, but Xu Lingqu had the most serious condition but the least obvious symptoms, so she was the attending physician.
What did I see? What did I just see?
You saw Xu Lingqu smashing a meteorite cluster across the most dangerous driving route in space, a 30-minute pure enjoyment version. I saw it too. For a moment, I thought I had eaten something poisonous and was hallucinating.
"No, no one told me I could get through this way, did they? Didn't the Merlin family insist that this map could only be traversed by their route, or by taking a humbler detour from the side?"
[I can only say that the Merlin family fooled us, and at the same time, they also fooled themselves.]
I actually considered crossing directly, but I couldn't time my artillery fire accurately on the meteorites while driving the battleship at full speed... I could still use the automatic lock-on system to deal with meteorites coming directly from the front, but meteorites from the side had to rely entirely on my own prediction. So, I finally gave in and looked up the Merlin family's routes and techniques... I never thought someone would actually demonstrate this one day...
Various comments flashed by quickly, some praising, some exclaiming in amazement, which made Liuming feel very comfortable.
It witnessed Xu Lingqu's entire journey of learning starships from scratch. In the beginning, he couldn't even do simple wing-swinging evasive techniques, but in the end, he achieved his current results. Lumen was not surprised at all.
Due to her abilities, IQ and mental strength, Xu Lingqu needs much less time than ordinary people to master something, but that doesn't mean she can get everything easily without any effort.
Liuming still remembered that when Xu Lingqu first encountered this scene, she had her ship destroyed and her crew killed at least 20 times in a single day. Liuming was almost fed up with it, but she still insisted on her own way of breaking through. She was too stubborn and would not give up until she achieved her goal.
The first record she left in the simulation room was the first time she passed it in her own way. The second and third times, she started to consider saving firepower while passing the level, so those records had a large deviation from her actual level.
She was not influenced by other people's ideas throughout the whole process. She decided on her own what to do and went all the way to the end. If she encountered a wall, she would simply tear it down. The next time she would go on, she would have a smooth journey.
This is the most dangerous driving route map in space. When everyone enters it, whether they are from the Federation or the Empire, a prompt will pop up, asking them to watch the Merlin family's driving video first.
Xu Lingqu simply closed the prompt without looking at it.
The Merlin family, a family that has absolute power in the Federation and whose influence radiates throughout the galaxy, almost all interstellar humans will have some powerful and fearful filters towards them.
What the Merlin family says = truth, what the Merlin family does = the only right thing, and no one will question the so-called correct route set by the Merlin family and the records they maintain.
They are the authority of this world, covering everyone like a shadow, and this most dangerous driving map in space is a point that they radiate outward.
In fact, it was originally just a map with maximum difficulty created by a star map designer to relieve stress. It is not a true reproduction of space, and its nature is just entertainment. Most people explore it with a smile.
But when the Merlin family intervened, the nature of this Setu changed.
It inexplicably became the "ceiling" of starship driving, and then for decades the records were in the hands of the Merlin family, showing all interstellar humans that the Merlin family would give birth to a starship genius every year and was the strongest family in the galaxy.
This concept was continuously instilled into everyone, gradually influencing them, and the final result was that everyone tacitly accepted that only the Merlin family could pass the Setu, or if you wanted to challenge them, you had to study them, follow their path, and acknowledge their strength and authority.
The most dangerous driving route in space is a vast maze, with meteorites acting as tens of thousands of high-speed, dangerous walls. The Merlin family boasts they've found the correct route and declares it the only way out.
Everyone was trapped in the maze of the Merlin family's power and authority, and they were wandering around in the maze like a ghost following their complicated route, including the Merlin family themselves. After several decades, Xu Lingqu appeared.
She carried her weapon in an unstoppable manner, traversing the entire maze by directly destroying the maze wall, breaking the Merlin family's self-woven record inheritance myth.
Why was Xu Lingqu able to do it? First, she had strong enough abilities, and second, she never believed in authority.
From her perspective, what would it matter even if the sky was pierced?
