47: Chapter 47 Test Invitation!! New Millet Particle Rifle

...

Meme Encyclopedia:

mini-mega particle rifle: Scientific name: Small Mega Particle Beam Cannon, from 'Mobile Suit Gundam' One Year War.

This meme originated from the Chinese Civil War, the meme of 'planes and cannons couldn't beat millet plus rifles,' meaning our army is using Gundam-specific Mega Particle Cannons, used to express reverence for our army's astonishing combat power.

This meme goes well with the 'How can the Communist army have Gundams?' meme for a better taste.

'Elia, what's wrong with you? Ever since we left the training ground, you've seemed a bit off.'

Elia was startled by Laya's direct question. She raised her eyes to meet Laya's clear gaze, pursed her lips, and seemed hesitant.

After a moment of hesitation, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

She didn't answer Laya, but walked straight to Li Yuan instead. Leaning down to face Li Yuan, her expression was solemn.

'Li Yuan, I've discovered a fatal weakness of mine!' She spoke quickly. 'My close-quarters combat ability is too poor! Facing an opponent like Sai Wei, who can quickly close the distance to me, I might not even have a chance to use my talent! It's like a stationary, idiotic mage; this is too passive! Absolutely not!'

Perhaps because of her sudden movement, the collar of her silk pajamas swelled slightly, outlining a breathtaking curve. That faint, deep cleavage seemed to possess infinite magic under the soft light of the living room.

Li Yuan's brain instantly crashed.

As a veteran programmer and otaku, when had he ever experienced such a situation? The visual impact was too powerful, leaving his mind blank. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Elia didn't seem to realize her 'powerful lethality.' She pressed her hands on the back of the sofa next to Li Yuan, forming a slightly oppressive posture, and requested:

'Please guide me. I've observed many times; your Light Guardian, their combat techniques are very practical!' A flame of desire to become stronger flickered in Elia's eyes. 'So, Li Yuan, please train me, okay?'

She leaned forward slightly, and a scent mixed with a faint, cool fragrance rushed towards him.

However, before Li Yuan could struggle out of that deep abyss and compose a response, a coquettish 'protest' sounded from the side.

'No, no!'

Like a kitten protecting its food, Laya pounced over, hugged Elia from behind, and with a clever tug, 'pulled' her away from Li Yuan. The two fell onto another sofa nearby.

Laya hung on Elia like a koala, puffing out her cheeks, her obsidian-like eyes glaring at Elia, her tone sour:

'Sister Elia, are you looking for a coach? Who looks for a coach like this! Hmph...' Laya gestured at the collar, and only then did Elia realize that her actions had been too reckless again.

'Close-quarters combat or whatever, no need to trouble Master Li Yuan~' Laya continued: 'Just look for me, I'm very strong!'

Elia's pretty face flushed slightly at Laya's sudden 'accusation' and action. She retorted indignantly: 'Laya! Stop messing around! I'm being serious! You're a 'healer,' what do you know about combat techniques?'

Her face was full of expressions that said 'Don't make trouble' and 'Who are you trying to fool?'

Laya chuckled craftily, revealing a sharp little tiger tooth, looking lively and cunning: 'Why don't we try and see?'

The two were currently leaning sideways on the sofa talking. Suddenly, Laya twisted her lithe body, grabbed Elia's hand, and used a 'Golden Thread Entanglement' move.

Elia ended up face-down on the sofa, firmly suppressed by Laya. The name of the Angel of Hope as an all-rounder was truly well-deserved.

'Laya, you little girl, you ambushed me! If you have the guts, let go, and let's have a fair fight!' Elia shouted, unconvinced.

Let go? Fine, I'm the Angel of Hope, I'm afraid of you?

Two hours later —

Elia lay on the bed, lifeless, her face buried in the quilt. Laya was sitting on Elia's waist, pinning her hands behind her back. She was still muttering softly: 'Still dare to snatch the abbot from me? Hmph hmph.'

A strong sense of powerlessness and... shame, instantly swept over Elia's whole body.

Two hours, from the living room to the bedroom. She, Elia, a super combat genius, had been abused in every way, without any blind spots, by a recognized healer! Without any power to fight back!

She buried her burning face deep into the soft quilt, letting out a muffled, desperate, and ashamed moan: 'Wuwu... I can't go on... I actually... I actually got bullied by a healer...'

In the living room, Li Yuan had long since recovered from the initial visual impact. He listened to the commotion coming from the bedroom and smiled helplessly.

Laya, oh Laya! You're an all-around angel, and you're still bullying a mortal...

Do you have to be so mischievous?

...

The night had fallen. Deep inside the North Star Military Academy, a heavily guarded building was still brightly lit. Countless staff members were still working overtime on a '007' schedule, with slogans like 'As long as you don't die, work until you die' posted on the walls.

Among them, the door to the 'Void Engine Miniaturization' project laboratory was pushed open violently.

It was the man in grey who had been secretly observing at the training ground earlier. His face was flushed with irrepressible excitement. He rushed into the laboratory and shouted to a group of researchers who were arguing over complex holographic drawings and energy models:

'Found it! Everyone! I found it! The mini-mega particle rifle, we can start testing!'

The laboratory fell silent instantly, and all the researchers' eyes focused on him.

The project leader, an old man with grey hair but high spirits, pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice: 'Xiao Zhang, don't rush, speak slowly. What did you find?'

The man in grey, known as Xiao Zhang, took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his speech was still very fast: 'This year's freshman, Li Yuan! B-rank talent, Light Messenger, his summoned unit, Light Guardian!'

He quickly projected his observation records onto the main holographic screen in the center of the laboratory, explaining in detail while pointing at the data:

'High intelligence, high execution! Super damage tolerance, repeatable summoning, can perfectly meet the test requirements of the mini-mega particle rifle! Basically no risk!'

After he finished speaking, sounds of admiration rang out in the laboratory.

'It's rare for a summoned creature to have such high intelligence and adaptability.'

'A perfect testing platform! Much more flexible than the clumsy engineering robots we found before! It seems even better than the robot from Chen Jingyi that we considered before.'

The researchers whispered to each other, their faces filled with excitement.

The leader stared at the data on the holographic screen, his fingers tapping quickly on the virtual keyboard to bring up the files of Li Yuan and Chen Jingyi.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded: 'Indeed, judging from the description, student Li Yuan's Light Guardian is a very ideal initial practical test carrier. By the way, bring over the girl Chen Jingyi that we considered before, just in case of other special circumstances!'

He looked around, and seeing that no one had any objections, he made the final decision.

'Good! Then send a test invitation to these two students.'
