Chapter 001: A "Sister Lin" Falls from the Sky

Fang Shi had long been accustomed to the almost unchanging gray-white sky, with that hazy spot of light indicating the position of the sun, yet with his naked eye, he truly could not discern its specific shape. In his childhood, he had once imagined it to be square, flat... Later, however, textbooks provided him with a definitive answer— the sun is round

A few seconds later, there was still no response from within the cabin

Click, click ... ...

Meteor

Fang Shi, somewhat discontent, fantasized that as a mechanic with grand dreams, installing a booster at the tail of the black phantom would certainly not be a difficult task. However, the fuel for the booster was something that a poor kid like him could not afford.

Mecha

Fang Shi bent down and extended his head into the cockpit, where he saw a faint red light flickering. Next to the control seat, a pilot was curled up on the floor, emitting heavy gasps, seemingly unable to move.

Watching the trajectory of the meteorite, Fang Shi's expression suddenly changed. The impact point of the meteorite seemed to be either near him or exactly where he was currently standing

The fleeting thought of fear crossed Fang Shi's mind, and at the same time, he felt a scorching whirlwind sweep over his head. Shortly thereafter, he heard a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and the ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly

Subsequently, the damaged mechanical arm began to slowly rise.

Fang Shi was momentarily taken aback, as if there was a sudden short circuit in his mind

Hmm?

Because of the first kiss

On the K 3 Intercontinental Highway, a V-shaped vehicle raced wildly like a black phantom

Sizzle

Having obtained relatively satisfactory test results, Fang Shi did not continue to accelerate recklessly, but instead gradually eased off the throttle, bringing the black phantom to a stop on the far right side of the emergency parking lane next to the library. He removed the heavy car cap and got out of the vehicle

Fang Shi looked at the speedometer, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. This black phantom was the result of his own modifications and numerous improvements. It was only on this desolate interstate highway that he dared to press the accelerator to the floor.

The tone of the blue-haired girl appeared extremely decisive

Suddenly, a small spot of light appeared in the grayish-white sky, trailing behind it a shadow resembling a tadpole.

After a few seconds, Fang Shi seemed to have found a way to accommodate the situation and was about to guide the panicked You | Wu when he suddenly felt his body being forcefully pushed away, and the blue-haired girl in his arms took the opportunity to escape.

Fang Shi immediately realized the intention of the mechanical arm, so he quickly moved away from the area covered by the mechanical hand.

A long plume of grayish-white smoke was exhaled, and Fang Shi's somewhat oppressive chest seemed to ease a bit as he comfortably gazed up at the grayish-white sky

Meteorite

If a booster were to be installed on the tail wing, would it fly directly into the sky

Fang Shimei furrowed her brow slightly and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look at the hatch that had been opened halfway. Seeing that it was barely large enough for a person of medium build to enter and exit, she let out a slight sigh of relief. Then, she called out to the control cabin, "Is everything alright? Can you come out?"

Did the robotic arm open the cabin cover

Bang

After thoroughly consuming half of the cigarette, Fang Shi contentedly raised his head to gaze at the sky. The sky of K 3 was a grayish-white, as if shrouded in a thick layer of haze, dark and oppressive. It is said that decades ago, the people living on K 3 could still occasionally see bright sunshine, but that has now become a luxury.

Upon seeing this, Fang Shi did not hesitate to dive into the somewhat cramped cabin

Moved!

Before Fang Shi could react, the blue-haired girl said somewhat anxiously: "You should leave quickly. This is a highly classified military test, and the military personnel will arrive soon. If they discover you, it is likely that you won't be able to leave."

The blue-haired woman slightly furrowed her brows and parted her thin lips, "Shana."

After completing all of this, Fang Shi finally let out a long sigh and looked down at the pilot half cradled in her arms. She was dressed in a silver-white, form-fitting jumpsuit that accentuated her exquisite figure to the fullest. Her delicate features were beautiful, with long blue hair cascading down to her waist, and her small mouth slightly parted as she gasped for breath

Are you injured

Fang Shi nodded slightly and immediately turned to leave. Since it involved military secrets, he did not want to get further involved. Who knows, in order to maintain confidentiality, he might really be placed under house arrest for life, and that would be the end of it. However, after walking more than ten steps, he turned around and said seriously, "My name is Fang Shi, what about you?"

No response was heard from the cabin; instead, a soft moan was emitted.

I am fine. You, please go quickly

The girl with blue hair nodded and explained: "For the sake of confidentiality, the military is very likely to imprison you for life. Therefore, please leave quickly"

Looking at the severely deformed hatch, Fang Shi's expression turned grave as he attempted to locate the manual release mechanism for the cabin, only to find that the mechanism was utterly unrecognizable and completely ineffective. Consequently, he struck the deformed hatch twice with force and shouted loudly, "Are you still alive?"

Fang Shi was about to dial the emergency number for the government rescue department at hetushu.com, when he heard a series of cracking sounds behind him. Turning around, he saw the broken arm of a mech slowly rising, then stopping above his head.

After a few seconds of daze, Fang Shi finally regained his senses, staring in astonishment at a massive newly formed sinkhole several hundred meters away from the interstate highway. He then tossed aside the cheap cigarette he had in his mouth, crossed the highway guardrail, and hurriedly walked towards the meteorite crater out of curiosity. However, when he reached the edge of the crater, he was left utterly speechless; what he saw was not a meteorite from outer space, but rather a machine resembling a human form lying at the bottom of the sinkhole.

Fang Shi was just about to turn his head to conceal his embarrassment when unexpectedly, one of the girl's hands suddenly wrapped around his neck. Then, his mouth was sealed by two soft lips, and before he could savor the taste, his mouth had already been breached. A warm, moist object slipped into his mouth, seemingly searching for something, appearing somewhat flustered. However, Fang Shi was even more flustered, unsure of how to respond to the tongue in his mouth.

However, Fang Shi was even more flustered, unsure of how to respond to the tongue in his mouth.

Hearing the soft moan and feeling the softness in his hand, Fang Shi immediately realized that his hand seemed to be in the wrong position. He quickly withdrew his hand and, looking into the girl's beautiful eyes, felt a sense of nervousness arise in his heart

Fang Shi reached the pilot's side, swiftly grasped her body, and carefully moved her near the exit. He then crawled out first, before slowly pulling the pilot out of the cockpit.

After a few breaths, Fang Shi let out a slight sigh of relief, and the mechanical arm began to move slowly at a speed of approximately one centimeter. Meanwhile, a corner of the cabin cover was gradually pulled open, and the gap was slowly widening

The mechanical hand fell heavily onto the hatch cover, and the damaged mechanical fingers quickly secured themselves to the contour of the hatch edge.

When the robotic arm acted on the hatch, the lifting speed seemed to come to a sudden halt. Clearly, even using the robotic arm to open the hatch was not an easy task. However, from the sound of the clanking, Fang Shi knew that the robotic arm was straining to pull the hatch.

Suddenly, the damaged mechanical arm slowed its movements, emitting a series of buzzing electrical sounds from within. Then, the entire arm fell down helplessly, clearly indicating that the mechanical arm had malfunctioned

Fang Shi felt a faint fragrance wafting in, causing his breathing to become somewhat heavier, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the woman. The woman, however, immediately let out a soft moan, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her half-closed eyes slowly opened.

Fang Shi had a clean-cut head of short black hair and a pair of glossy, captivating eyes, which barely added some luster to his otherwise ordinary long face. Leaning against the car body, he fished out a pack of cheap cigarettes from his pocket, deftly pulled one out, lit it, and then took a deep, greedy drag.

After a few seconds of pause, Fang Shi realized a critically important issue: the pilot in the control cabin was likely in grave danger due to such a violent impact. Nevertheless, he immediately jumped into the sinkhole and quickly located the position of the control cabin

No

Fang Shi appeared somewhat worried; judging by the voice, the other party was a woman who seemed to be injured

Click, click ... ...

Inside the cabin, the vision is blurred

Fang Shi quickly dismissed the previous conjecture; the light spot resembled a meteorite from beyond the heavens. However, it did not seem very large. The meteorite moved at an extremely high speed, crossing nearly half the sky in an instant, and its outline became increasingly clear.

Yes, he is a downright poor boy

Fang Shi's expression changed slightly as he recalled the strange mech of unknown model beneath his feet. He immediately understood the blue-haired girl's intention, but he was somewhat puzzled as to why she would do such a thing. However, considering the implications, he quickly stood up and asked with a hint of concern: "Then what about you?"

K 3 is an inconspicuous deep crystal mining planet located at the edge of the star domain. After nearly a thousand years of exploitation by the Empire, the deep crystal mines on K 3 have been completely depleted, and now it resembles a dying old man, barely clinging to life. Those capable of leaving K 3 have long since departed. The remaining inhabitants are mostly individuals lacking both skills and wealth; in comparison to the people of the central star region, they are akin to impoverished rural folk living in a remote and desolate area

A brief glance, fire and ice.

Fang Shi squinted his eyes curiously as he observed the light spot, randomly speculating in his mind

Oh no

The light spot gradually enlarged, and before long, it reached the size of half a fist.

The military? Fang Shi slightly regained his composure

The material of the control cabin's hatch is not ordinary; it is made of high-density synthetic metal. Fang Shi does not believe that he can move it merely with his hands. With a flicker of thought, he immediately took out the Tianxun he always carries with him

Fang Shi was taken aback. Although the mech in front of him was severely damaged and deformed, as an auxiliary technician who dreamed of becoming the Empire's top female mech pilot, he immediately recognized that what lay at the bottom of the pit was a genuine mech, and moreover, a model he had never seen before.

Not bad, three hundred and fifty
