An LX-21 armored vehicle was towed into the operation area managed by Ji Xinghe. Unlike other operation areas, his was empty except for him. Some thought he was slacking off due to dissatisfaction with his work arrangement, but in fact, he was simply trying to save money.“The special instructor in the training area earns thirty thousand contribution points a month, basic auto repair salary is ten thousand contribution points a month, and completing basic tasks in a standalone operation area earns twenty thousand contribution points a month, with additional task contribution points calculated separately…”Ji Xinghe began his repair work while mentally calculating the figures. His salary had increased in the training area, as he was now not only a top-notch expert but also a Level 1 Mecha Warrior with twelve gold stars. The salary for other duties also exceeded the normal level, serving as compensation for his transfer to the regular repair zone.From a certain perspective, Ji Xinghe w
“Beep beep beep…”The urgent alert sounded suddenly from the wristbands of all mecha warriors at Base Six. Whether stationed at Base Six, resting and adjusting, or receiving treatment for injuries, all of them heard the sound.Trained as they were, they quickly rose and were about to rush to the standby area to assemble. However, during their movement, they saw the message on their wristbands.“Federal Level 1 Mecha Warrior Sergeant Ji Xinghe is about to conduct personal training on the surface. Those interested can watch on the wristband, or come to the observation windows or standby area to view. Those not interested can stay where they are.”Damn, that startled me.At this moment, with over 500 mecha warriors at Base Six, more than three-quarters cursed aloud. They had relaxed a bit after coming to the base, and the sudden scare made them fully alert.Perhaps because of this, or perhaps because of Ji Xinghe’s name, none of the mecha warriors chose to stay where they were. Instead,
At 1:30 AM, Jixinghe had only slept for four and a half hours, but his condition was fully restored. On the other hand, reporter Su He, who had stayed up with him, failed to wake up on time. This wasn't due to a lack of professionalism; Su He’s average sleep time while following Jixinghe had been only six hours a night. If he weren't able to catch up on sleep during the day while filming, he would have collapsed long ago.After practicing martial arts outside Jixinghe's room for half an hour, his granddaughter, who went to bed early and thus could wake up early, went for breakfast. By 7:30 AM, they arrived at the regular repair area to begin work. As usual, Jixinghe Rongxin entered the Starry Moon’s cockpit for his daily study session."Study for an hour, then come out to stretch and relax your eyes.""Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll have Starry Moon remind me.""Good, off you go.""Okay, Grandpa. You should also make sure to rest."The morning passed quickly. Su He arrived at 8:30 AM, qui
The routine and orderly life might seem uneventful to Ji Xinghe, but for the mech warriors in the training area, each day brings a storm of challenges.Su He was right in his observation. The day after Ji Xinghe demonstrated Tai Chi, the young mech warriors came to understand that they were indeed too young. During the regular one-against-three combat training, Ji Xinghe, who had promised to use Tai Chi, took down three mech warriors faster than usual. The onlooking mech warriors and soldiers who had come for combat training couldn’t even react in time.“Again.”Ji Xinghe stood still, signaling for the three mech warriors to step back. The instructor nearby quickly arranged for three new mech warriors to step in, but their outcome was no different. In the blink of an eye, all three were down on the ground.This time, because everyone was focused, the mech warriors in the front row managed to see a bit more clearly, which only increased their shock. One person threw a punch at Ji Xingh
The Imperial gorilla had consistently failed to provide the Federation with the intelligence they wanted. Despite employing various interrogation methods, no significant results were achieved. When the crisis at Base Six was resolved and subsequent surveillance showed no unusual activity, the relevant personnel had given up on further interrogation.However, at that moment, the Imperial gorilla suddenly requested to meet Jing Xinghe. It didn’t know Jing Xinghe personally, so it referred to the mech warrior who had defeated it.Base Six’s personnel did not send a stand-in for Jing Xinghe. They had prevented Jing Xinghe from leaving solely for his safety. Being inside the base ensured his safety and provided valuable footage for the documentary. Thus, Jing Xinghe met the live Imperial gorilla once more—the same one.Inside a somewhat crude but very sturdy iron cage, the Imperial gorilla, covered in gruesome wounds, sat calmly on the floor. There were no chairs or beds inside the cage, o
The Imperial gorilla bit off its own tongue. While this wasn’t fatal, it meant that it could no longer speak, and the interrogation was once again interrupted.At the Mech Warrior standby area of Base Six, over five hundred mech warriors had assembled. Jing Xinghe was also present. No one stopped him or told him what to do; he could only wait nervously like the others.Indeed, Jing Xinghe was anxious. He saw over five hundred mech warriors and the two hundred seventy mechs in the hangar. This was a formidable military force that a living base shouldn’t have. It indicated that Base Six had far more mechs for combat than what was apparent.It was clear from the earlier battle around Base Six during the dust storm that the Federation had mobilized substantial defensive forces both inside and outside Base Six. But the Empire’s target wasn’t Base Six; it was Base Three. They had somehow discovered the locations of the Federation’s living bases on both sides of the Sanliu Grand Canyon.“Ser
On the barren alien planet, a convoy was moving slowly. At the front and rear were three armed armored vehicles each, with four transport vehicles and a trailer in the middle. On the trailer sat a bulky-looking mech, while mechs followed on either side. Ahead, a reconnaissance vehicle was scouting the way."Attention all units, we are about to leave the safe zone. No enemy activity detected so far. We will rendezvous with our supporting mech warriors in thirty minutes."The voice from the reconnaissance vehicle echoed over the communication channel. Not only did they have to drive the reconnaissance vehicle at the forefront, but they also had to control unmanned drones to monitor the surroundings. The Federation had numerous reconnaissance satellites in the near-space of the alien planet, but the crisis at Base Three and other battle zones required support from these satellites."I wish we had aircraft. Sitting in this vehicle is making my backside sore," Shen Mu complained over the i
Here's the translation with scene-setting and paragraph breaks included:“Finally going to see Old Jing, it's been almost a month since I last saw him. I really miss him.”“Old Jing? Su Chuanyun, I’m recording this.”“Andrei, you’re really shameless. You should learn from the Blind and the Lame. Otherwise, you’ll end up with no friends.”“If I could become Old Jing’s most valued disciple, I’d rather have no friends.”“Dream on.” The Lame mocked, “Old Jing’s most valued disciple definitely isn’t you.”“I’m the best fighter among us four. Even though I haven’t seen the Blind or the Lame, I’m sure I’m better than them,” Andrei argued. “Who else could it be besides me?”“Being the best fighter doesn’t necessarily mean being the most valued. Moreover, if you’re counting, Major Han Li is also Old Jing’s disciple, and Major Jackson also mentioned wanting to become Old Jing’s disciple.” The Deaf spoke calmly, “Do you think you’re better than those two?”“You three from Longzhou are bullying m
