Jiang Xinghe was spray-painting golden stars onto his mech. It wasn’t Xingyue this time; this was a standard Federation 16th-generation mech, with only the core engine and nuclear fuel cells replaced. While its performance parameters didn’t quite match the one that Shen Mu had personally modified, the difference wasn’t too significant.

Xingyue still couldn’t be deployed for now. Compared to this modified Federation 16th-generation mech, Xingyue’s overall performance was lacking, to say the least. Although Xingyue’s overclock mode was powerful, it greatly reduced both endurance and defense capabilities, making this standard mech a better option for the time being. But it wouldn’t be long now, only thirty million to go.

"Old Ji, how’s Xinxin?"

"She’s fine. After venting her emotions on you all last time, she’s been much better. She’s also grown another month older, and she’s more understanding now. She agreed to let me go and even supports me."

Grown another month...

    From Base No. 5 to Base No. 6, after replenishing energy and resting briefly, Ji Xinghe, accompanied by Brother Left Hand, set off for Base No. 3 without delay. They chose to travel through the Great Canyon, which was much safer than moving on the surface, but as always, unexpected events occurred.They discovered traces of Imperial mechs.“Lao Ji, I seriously suspect you’re the main character here,” Brother Left Hand said with a very serious tone. “Do you know why?”“I know.”“You know that at your age?”“I was born in 2022, not the last century. Even in my era, I was part of the new generation. I was young once too.”Ji Xinghe repeated this explanation. He was also quite tense, as there were only two mechs—his and Brother Left Hand’s—while there were already ten Imperial mechs on the other side, which looked like a complete Imperial mech unit.Even though ten mechs were manageable, if there were thirty, even if Ji Xinghe’s skills had improved as he hoped, he would have no chance but

    “Hey, Lao Ji, why didn’t you finish them off?”Left Hand had easily dealt with an imperial mech. After the tactical orbital missile bombardment, only three of the intact imperial mechs were barely operational. Given the strength of the two members of the Galaxy Squad, Left Hand was responsible for one of them, while Ji Xinghe was tasked with the remaining two.But when Left Hand finished the battle, Ji Xinghe, who should have wrapped things up much earlier, hadn’t completed the fight. He had merely damaged the leg joints of the two imperial mechs, rendering them effectively non-combatant.In fact, more than half of the imperial mechs in the canyon were still combat-capable; they hadn’t been damaged to the point of being immobile by the bombardment. However, by the time Ji Xinghe arrived, only three were able to move, because the rest of the imperial mechs’ occupants had been stunned or killed by the explosions.“Leaving it to you.”Ji Xinghe replied and started moving his mech. He app

    When the Dongfeng-67 orbital tactical missile from the Federation’s Longzhou was launched from the Xinyue Fox starship, which was orbiting Mars, related orders were also transmitted via Base No. 3 to the other six mecha warriors of the Xinghe Mecha Squad.The entire strike process took only thirty seconds, and the predicted impact results were promptly communicated."It seems we won’t be able to save Old Ji.""It’s better if we don’t have to save him. What, are you hoping Old Ji encounters danger?""Stop trying to sow discord; you’re a traitor to the sect.""Yeah, let the master kick him out of the sect.""Uh... Actually, I’m regretful too, but it’s not about not being able to save Old Ji. I regret not being able to ask him that question.""Yes, I regret that too.""Though I regret it, I hope I’ll never have to ask that question.""Agreed."The Xinghe Squad didn’t slow down despite the successful precision strike by the Xinyue Fox. They continued forward, as the situation in the canyo

  • MECH WARRIO   Chapter 130: Run? Charge!

    Should he run?Ji Xinghe looked at the Federation-standard mecha that had already begun charging, thinking of the Federation mecha warrior inside, Left Hand, who was about the same age as his son. He hesitated for a moment. He should have turned and run without looking back in this situation because he had once told his son:“You must run. If the time comes when you need to run, you must run.”More than half a year ago, during the physical test for enlistment, as he ran those ten kilometers, he told his son in his heart more than once:“You should have run, son.”Back then, as he ran, it was as if he was running for his son, who hadn’t chosen to run. With every step, he got a little closer to his son. And now he needed to run because this was a time when running was necessary.His son should have run because his son still had him, and he still had Ji Rong Xinyue. Whether his son knew of Ji Rong Xinyue’s existence or not, he should have run.He should run now because he still had Ji Ro

    In a communication blackout zone within the Three-Six Grand Canyon, two Federal mechas were battling thirteen Imperial mechas. Reinforcements for the Federal mechas would take some time to arrive, while Imperial reinforcements kept appearing one after another.It seemed inevitable that these two Federal mechas would be destroyed, yet they neither fled nor retreated. Instead, they chose to charge at the larger number of Imperial mechas.Left Hand faced two Imperial mechas. Judging by their models, they were just standard Imperial mechas, inferior in performance to the Federal standard mecha he was piloting. However, the physical prowess of the Imperial gorillas far exceeded that of Left Hand and other Federal mecha warriors. With four hands, these gorillas operated their mechas more efficiently than the Federal pilots.But Left Hand held his ground. The spear in his hand faced the two Imperial spears without fear. After charging and crossing paths with the two Imperial mechas, he stood

    “Old Ji, you should have run, really.”Left Hand stared at the three Imperial mechas two hundred meters away, which had stopped their charge, and the ten more mechas near the rhombus-shaped metallic structure further back. He still believed Ji Xinghe should have run.The two Imperial mechas he was holding off had been destroyed the moment Ji Xinghe joined the battle. Up to this point, the two of them had already taken down five Imperial mechas, and neither of their mechas had suffered any substantial damage. It was a rare and complete victory, but the number of Imperial mechas remained overwhelming, and they kept increasing.“We still have time to run,” Left Hand continued to persuade. “We’re right near Base No. 3. They’ve got heavy defenses there, and Blind and the others are ready to back us up. If we run together, we might be able to link up with them. By then, with eight mechas fighting together, they might just give up chasing us. Plus, once we get to a zone where communications

    As Ji Xinghe once again destroyed three Imperial mechas, the total number of Imperial mechas in the canyon didn't decrease; instead, it increased.Twenty-two, exactly matching the number of golden stars on Ji Xinghe's mecha."The warp gate has disappeared. They're gone. They've stopped."Left Hand exclaimed in surprise. In his sight, the diamond-shaped metal warp gate vanished suddenly, as if it had run out of energy, just as the thirtieth Imperial mecha descended from it. The diamond-shaped metal reverted to being an inert metal ingot.Their reinforcements were gone, and they had stopped moving.After breaking eight Imperial mechas in total, the third batch of four Imperial mechas chasing Ji Xinghe and Left Hand finally halted. They chose not to continue their charge, maintaining a safe pursuit distance from Ji Xinghe and Left Hand's mechas.The eighteen Imperial mechas guarding the diamond-shaped metal also remained motionless, as if their systems had shut down.But Ji Xinghe showed

    Six Federation mechas gathered together, now in full power mode, advancing quickly in an assault formation toward the depths of the canyon. The previously lively communication channel had fallen silent, with only the faint sound of each other’s breathing audible.They had already increased their speed once when they entered the canyon, shifting from reconnaissance mode to fast-advance mode. But when the signal flare's light pierced through the dark canyon and exploded in the night sky, their speed reached its peak.If they wanted to go faster, they would have to charge, but now was clearly not the time for that."We are about to enter the communication blackout zone. All units, take note: if the enemy's numbers are overwhelming, Niuma, Heavy Cannon, immediately retreat to maintain communication. If necessary, withdraw at full speed."Blind Man’s command was met with no objections, not even from Su Chuanyun, who had just become Niuma. Despite his personality, he didn’t argue. He knew v

    Having decided to participate in the orbital drop mech warrior test, Ji Xinghe did not leave Base Five immediately. It wasn’t that he had hesitated again; the “education” from Ji Rongxinyue had been very effective. The delay was simply because the necessary equipment required time to manufacture.“Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, we have reviewed your relevant physical data and estimate that it will take ten days to customize your orbital drop mech suite. Please confirm once again if you want to continue using the Federal standard 16th generation mech?”“Yes, I want to use the Federal standard 16th generation mech.”Ji Xinghe confirmed his choice. If possible, he would have preferred to pilot the Federal 1st generation standard mech, the one he first encountered and used the most. However, the initial models, still usable in the game Starry Glory, had long been phased out on alien battlefields. Therefore, he chose the 16th generation standard mech, which he was second most familiar with.In term

    Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe Squad finally returned to Base No. 6, but they didn’t have much time to reunite with Master Liu and the others. As soon as they arrived, the transfer convoy between Base No. 3 and Base No. 6 was already prepared, and they received orders to depart immediately.“Thank you, and take care.”Ji Xinghe accepted the gift they had prepared for Ji Rong Xinyue, waving goodbye without saying "see you again," because he knew that "goodbye" might mean "forever."The journey was uneventful, and the transfer convoy took three days to finally reach the relatively safe Base No. 5. Despite the sudden influx of people, Base No. 5 did not face any resource shortages as the Federation had already made preparations.Ji Rong Xinyue was very happy to receive the gift, but even happier to see that Ji Xinghe had returned unharmed.“Grandpa, what does orbital drop mean?”For many, this information was still classified, but Ji Xinghe revealed it to Ji Rong Xinyue without reservation, ev

    At the start of a video conference, all the elite mecha warriors participating watched footage from a battle recorder. The footage showed Ji Xinghe’s fight in the canyon.In this battle, he single-handedly destroyed fourteen Empire mechas, bringing his total number of gold stars to thirty-six, placing him at the middle rank among the Federation’s three hundred and twenty-seven active elite mecha warriors.The first scene depicted a pale blue energy shockwave bursting from a diamond-shaped metal object, sending Federation Level Two mecha warrior Zuo Qiyu flying. He then got up and chose to charge forward.The combat recorder’s audio had not been removed, so all 116 elite mecha warriors participating in the video conference could hear Left Hand’s voice: “Go, Old Ji, don’t look back, run, run fast, I can hold them off.”Through Ji Xinghe’s mecha’s perspective, the elite mecha warriors watched the Federation mecha charging at the Empire mechas and heard the pilot’s shout.

    Inside Base Six, many people were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the convoy from Base Three, hoping to reunite with familiar faces.The surface area of this alien planet couldn't compare to the Blue Planet, and the Federation's controlled area wasn't vast. But the extreme difficulty of transportation and the scarcity of resources meant that many people who met and became familiar on this alien planet might never see each other again after parting.They had promised to reunite on the Blue Planet after winning the war, but some would never return. Even their ashes could only remain on this alien planet, buried deeper and deeper under the orange-red dust, until no one would remember where they were buried.Perhaps one day, when humanity fully occupies this planet, technology will advance enough to change the planet's environment, creating a real atmosphere. Seeds will be scattered across the alien land, taking root and sprouting, carried by the wind to spread new life.When countless se

    A squad of nine mechas was moving swiftly through the canyon. They were a support unit, initially tasked with escorting a convoy to a designated area before returning. However, unexpected developments forced them to turn back.“Have we established contact yet?”“No, the Xinghe Squad is still out of contact.”“Damn it, what the hell are they doing? I could understand if Ji Xinghe and Left Hand went silent, but why did the support team, Blind Man’s group, also go dark? Couldn't they have left someone outside the blackout zone to maintain communication?”When the Xinyue Fox battleship bombarded the area from space, this mecha squad did not advance at full speed. But when a flare illuminated the alien night sky, they accelerated to maximum speed. The flare, following the bombardment, indicated ongoing enemy presence, necessitating immediate support.But they had no intel.“It's a new team after all, lack of experience is understandable. I heard that Blind Man and his group came from the R

    One, two, three.Faced with encirclement by eight Imperial mechas, Ji Xinghe seized every opportunity he could. After single-handedly taking down three Imperial mechas, he finally ran out of chances. There were still five mechas left in pursuit, with enough distance between them for him to take them out one by one, but the canyon held more dangers than just those five. While Ji Xinghe wasn’t sure how long it would take to completely destroy the rhomboid metal construct, the Imperial mechas’ previous caution suggested it wasn't invulnerable to mecha attacks.The six Imperial mechas assigned to destroy the construct could join the pursuit at any moment. If Ji Xinghe waited until they appeared, he would lose his chance to escape.He didn’t want to die, so he chose to run before the opportunity vanished completely.At full speed, the sixteenth-generation Federation standard mecha dashed through the dark canyon, kicking up a trail of dust. Behind him were eleven Imperial mechas that had al
