Chapter 291 – Recognized
Young Master Qi’s admiration had reached its peak. He wished he could be at the scene right now to ask for an autograph.
The skill, the speed, and the tech-filled mecha—it was the kind of scene he had only dreamed of as a child.
It was so cool! So awesome! Even cooler than his job as an executive department guard!
In contrast to Young Master Qi, who couldn’t hold back his excitement, Li Wenchuan, sitting three rows behind, remained steady in his seat, his gaze fixed firmly on the mecha in the footage. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
These moves… seemed familiar.
They were very similar to “his.”
They hadn’t been watching from the beginning of the live stream. By the time they entered the screening room, Ye Hongci had already led her team toward the third wave of alien beasts.
So they hadn’t seen the one and only time Tu Ran had crawled out of the mecha.
However, others in the live stream had seen it.
At that moment, the live stream was flooded with all kinds of comments.
From the moment Tu Ran crawled out of the mech and revealed her face, the comment section was filled entirely with congratulatory messages.
[Congratulations to General Ye for adding another powerful general to her ranks.]
[Congratulations to our Haenden Star System for gaining another fierce warrior.]
[Congratulations to our Haenden Star System, victory is within reach!]
…
These congratulatory messages, along with emoji of [ribbons] and [fireworks], had flooded the screen, overtaking the original discussion of the battle.
Tu Ran’s performance became more and more unexpected, attracting more and more cameras. At the audience’s request, the cameras were specially focused on her, and her moves were displayed without reservation in the live stream.
Like a soaring eagle, like a swift cheetah, her murderous aura was overwhelming. Her moves intertwined, exuding a ruthless and decisive energy that didn’t belong to this world. The ordinary mecha was brought to life with a dazzling brilliance, the result of meticulous design and refinement.
Li Wenchuan stared at the move where the white mecha slashed the alien beast’s throat, and he was certain that it was Tu Ran inside.
He had been caught off guard by this move before.
Xie Xu had once used this very move to subdue him and make him his subordinate.
…
Meanwhile, on 4344 Star, Tu Ran was fully focused on killing alien beasts. As she watched the energy bar continuously rise, she became even more energetic, as though she were tireless.
“19999, 888, 66666, 9999, 68888…”
The mental power values of the alien beasts here were generally higher than those of the ones she had encountered the previous two times.
However, the energy bar was no longer growing as noticeably as before.
The [Tally Board] indicated that the rate of energy bar increase would continue to slow, and later on, it might take one hundred million mental power to increase by just one percent.
Tu Ran wasn’t expecting to reach 100%.
Eighty percent was already enough for her to use for a while.
She pushed forward toward her goal!
Tu Ran swiftly slashed the neck of an alien beast.
[Mental Power +6666]
[Mental Power collection progress 26%]
The panel stayed in front of her for two seconds before disappearing, only for the next panel to appear.
[Mental Power +9999]
[Mental Power collection progress 26%]
Tu Ran’s speed was incredibly fast. In the live stream, only a white afterimage could be seen. One moment, it was in the lower right corner of the battlefield, and the next, it had flashed to the upper left corner. Wherever the white afterimage passed, alien beasts were decapitated, their heads rolling around like a harvesting machine.
Tu Ran had mastered the technique of killing alien beasts. She didn’t rely solely on the mecha; at the moment of striking, she would inject a small amount of her abilities to help the blade pierce through the thick skin of the alien beasts. Once the strike was made, she would quickly withdraw her abilities, leaving the rest to the mecha’s own strength.
Though this approach consumed nearly a third of the mental power she had accumulated, she spent less time on each alien beast, allowing her to kill more. In the end, her mental power actually increased.
