100: Natural disaster, activated!

Dragon Country Special Disaster Response War Zone.

It was lunchtime.

Many people always gathered around Shui Meng because her good luck was like a large, special magnetic field; the closer one was, the deeper the influence.

Just then, her phone rang with a cheerful tune.

"Your good friend Ji Xue is calling you..." "Sorry, I need to take this call first."

Shui Meng jogged to an empty area and picked up the call.

"Meng Meng, quickly help me draw a prize!"

"Miss, aren't you playing the Star Sea virtual game recently? What prize do you need to draw now?"

"It's the Star Sea lottery! If I win, I can touch the cockpit of a mecha model!"

"Oh, and I can also go up into space to look at the stars!"

"Send me your account and password."

Shui Meng returned to her single dormitory, opened her computer, and performed the operation... [Congratulations! Esteemed player [Ji Xue Is Not Chuunibyou], you have successfully obtained a one-day experience qualification for the [Mecha Dream Carnival] and one ticket for a single person space trip. Please verify your information as soon as possible...]

Ji Xue: "Did I win?"

Shui Meng: "You won."

... The next day.

space elevator Hub Center.

Two mechas stood on either side of the eastern plaza.

On the left: [seraph], [Azure Dragon].

On the right: [Black Tortoise], [Heavenly Calamity].

Compared to the mecha models in the game, these four mechas looked exactly like the real thing in the eyes of tens of thousands of tourists...

Especially the [seraph], which had eight-winged thrusters, dark paint, and emitted a special faint green particle stream all over its body. Its popularity was extremely high, and the queue of players waiting to experience it was almost spilling out onto the road.

The [Heavenly Calamity] had the lowest popularity because it had never appeared in the game, and its background information only contained a short description: This is a super mecha that can bring heavenly calamity upon the enemy.

Compared to the other three mechas, the [Heavenly Calamity] appeared much slimmer, painted in ink black, covered entirely in hidden missile bays. It looked like countless scars, and its design was indeed somewhat unappealing.

He Ming stood in front of the [Heavenly Calamity], deep in thought.

The importance of this mecha was no less than that of the [Kunpeng]; in fact, to some extent, it was considered the most crucial strategic mecha.

He abandoned all defense and close-combat tactical weapons, arming his firepower to the teeth. Even the interior of the external thrusters was filled with special heavy particle explosive bombs capable of destroying a city.

If just one [Heavenly Calamity] could break into the core of the Hai Star fleet, the war could be declared over ahead of schedule.

However, the success rate given by the notebook was only 3.5%.

It was also currently the only mecha without a perfectly matched pilot.

The highest compatibility was only 73%, belonging to Ji Xue, the direct daughter of the Ancient Martial Arts Families, Ji Family.

The second-highest compatible pilot showed a sharp drop, possessing only 34.7%.

Therefore, He Ming planned to use the [Heavenly Calamity] as a drone, handing it over entirely to Bai Ze for control, or deploying it in future wars using a drone control model.

As long as it could inflict 1% damage on the Hai Star fleet, it would definitely be a huge profit.

In four years, at most, ten more could be built.

Because the cost was simply too high, one [Heavenly Calamity] was equivalent to ten [Seraphs].

The [Heavenly Calamity] in front of He Ming could only be considered a semi-finished product because the 144 heavy particle explosive bombs inside had not yet been formally loaded, requiring sufficient resources to be collected from Jupiter before they could be manufactured.

"Hey, big brother."

He Ming's shoulder was lightly patted. He turned sideways and looked at the twin-tailed girl wearing a fiery red mecha battlesuit.

"You're that person who gets lost, right?"

Ji Xue seemed to have been struck where it hurt and quickly retorted, "You're the one who gets lost!"

He Ming scoffed lightly.

"In the age of information, if you still need to ask for directions, what else would you be but someone who gets lost?"

Ji Xue also scoffed lightly and looked up at the [Heavenly Calamity] right in front of her.

"This mecha is so pitiful."

He Ming: "Why do you say that?"

Ji Xue: "Because he is very lonely."

He Ming turned sideways and glanced at the long lines for the other three mechas. Looking at it this way, it was indeed a little lonely...

Ji Xue shook her head, her blue and pink gradient long hair swaying slightly.

"It's not that kind of loneliness. I can hear it; this mecha is crying."

Huh?

He Ming frowned slightly and sized up Ji Xue's attire. He could understand now.

She was just a pure chuunibyou girl.

"Big brother, since you chose to come here for the experience, you must have felt it too, right?"

He Ming looked at Ji Xue's bright, expectant eyes and replied softly, "I can't feel it."

"Then why did you choose this mecha?"

He Ming: "Because there's no need to queue."

Ji Xue: "..."

Just then, a staff member walked over.

"Hello, are you the players who want to experience the [Heavenly Calamity] cockpit?"

Ji Xue: "Wow, what a cool name! It sounds really powerful!"

He Ming was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Ji Xue grabbed his wrist and excitedly rushed toward the lift platform.

"What are you doing!"

"Let's go together!"

"Hello, can we enter the cockpit together for the experience?"

The staff member showed a knowing expression and kindly reminded them, "It's not impossible, but you need to be aware that there are built-in cameras inside the cockpit."

He Ming's face darkened. It seemed he had been misunderstood.

He wanted to pull his hand back, but the voice of jarvis sounded in his ear.

"Sir, this woman is Ji Xue, the direct daughter of the Ji Family, and her compatibility with the [Heavenly Calamity] has reached 73%."

He Ming raised an eyebrow slightly, subtly stopped resisting, and allowed Ji Xue to pull his arm toward the lift platform.

When the height perfectly aligned with the cockpit door, Ji Xue jumped in impatiently.

She was like a child who had received candy for the New Year, her eyes shining brightly as she lovingly stroked the control stick, treating it like a first love.

"You must be very lonely. I wish I could become your pilot!"

He Ming stood outside the lift platform, not planning to enter, as it was quite cramped inside.

A streak of blood-red light suddenly illuminated without warning right before his eyes!

He Ming was startled and sharply looked up at the eyes of the [Heavenly Calamity].

Hmm?

"jarvis, what's going on?"

"Sir, no abnormalities have been detected."

"Bai Ze?"

"Master, no abnormalities have been detected."

He Ming was confused. If there were no abnormalities, how did the [Heavenly Calamity]'s blood-red eyes light up automatically?

"Is it because of Ji Xue?"

Carrying his doubts, He Ming stepped across and entered the cockpit.

"Big brother, watch me activate the [Heavenly Calamity] and take you for a ride!"

Ji Xue skillfully pulled down the handle to close the hatch and slapped the smart palm print recognition system for one-key activation.
