"The machine spirit is pleased!"
"Learning and applying immediately, worthy of you."
"Everyone, think of the hidden meanings."
"This is the charm of a Vanguard-class Titan."
.....
"Protocol Two mission updated: replace the connection module."
Bt turned to Zhou Jie and said, "The module's slot is above the antenna. I'll throw you up, and then you climb up." 138 Reading Network
"Again?"
Zhou Jie's smile froze on her face. With a pout, she was about to give up.
But seeing Bt squatting on the ground in a standard throwing posture, Zhou Jie not only couldn't say the harsh words, but her legs moved towards Bt's palm as if guided by an unseen force.
This might be a classic case of "saying no but meaning yes," or rather, "saying no but wanting it to continue"!
"So slick!"
"Second round!"
"He's addicted to throwing!"
"The body is honest!"
.....
Click, click--!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!!
Bt's mechanical arm whirred, and before Zhou Jie could regain her senses, she was thrown.
"Wow!!"
"Damn!"
"You Bt, this time you didn't even test the wind resistance!!"
Zhou Jie's voice echoed through the sky, moving from near to far.
The only response she received was Bt's firm and powerful "Trust me."
Nothing else,
Just familiarity!
This throw wasn't particularly long, and Zhou Jie landed safely in her bewilderment.
"We're already here?"
Zhou Jie's expression froze; she clearly hadn't recovered.
Sloan: (Radio) "Brisc, this is Sloan."
"Go ahead."
Brisc's voice pulled Zhou Jie from her daze.
On the radio, Sloan told Brisc that Ken and Ash were dead and had detected their radio being monitored.
Upon hearing this, Brisc smiled brazenly, "Hey, Pilot... I'm Kuben Brisc."
"You're monitoring us, aren't you? You want to be a hero, right? Fine."
Brisc spoke directly to Zhou Jie, "Come on again, come on again!"
"If I were you, I wouldn't try so hard to be a hero; that way, you might live a little longer."
"I've never heard such a request in my life."
Zhou Jie kicked over a drone blocking her path, smiling, "Don't rush, take your time, one by one."
Beep--!
After the call ended, Zhou Jie no longer wasted time and quickly ran towards the antenna tower.
As she neared the target, Bt's connection reappeared: "Hypothesis: The antenna will automatically calibrate after the new module is installed."
Zhou Jie took out the old module and installed the brand new one.
Hiss, hiss---~~
Click, click---~~
Rumble!
The transmitter on top of the signal tower moved!
As long as it stayed still, it was fine, but this movement directly caused the entire platform to lose its center of gravity.
"Eh?"
Zhou Jie's feet slipped, and she slid directly into the abyss below---
"No, no, no~!!"
Zhou Jie flailed her hands in the air, but the platform's slope was too steep to stop the downward momentum.
"It's over!"
It wasn't until her feet left the edge and the strong sense of falling hit her forehead that Zhou Jie realized:
"Bt--!"
"Save me~~~~!!"
Zhou Jie's voice stretched long and far into the sky. Just as she was about to close her eyes and prepare to restart,
The massive steel figure below dashed from one side of the platform to the other, directly in Zhou Jie's falling path.
This... it shouldn't make it in time, right? Zhou Jie was deeply moved by Bt's agile and graceful movements, and she closed her eyes in pain.
But...
Did she really miss it?
At the last moment, Bt, with a reaction speed that surpassed human limits, grabbed Zhou Jie's flailing arm in mid-air.
"I've got you."
It even thoughtfully provided a small buffer for Zhou Jie, greatly reducing the impact of the high-altitude fall on her arm.
Hearing Bt's voice, Zhou Jie felt as if she had returned from another life.
Her wide eyes were filled with disbelief; she was completely stunned.
How much processing power would it take to achieve such perfect timing... She slowly raised her right hand and gave Bt a thumbs-up.
Words failed her; she could only give a big thumbs-up to express her excitement!
Meanwhile, the viewers outside the stream were ecstatic at this classic moment!
"Snot!!! (Loudly emphasized)"
"I'm calling Bt my wife (*ยดโ`)!"
"Bt: Detector shows you need to change your pants."
"Wife!!!!!!"
"What use do I have for a wife? Give me a Bt!"
.....
Crack, crack, crack!!
Bt looked at Zhou Jie's thumbs-up, then turned to its own four mechanical fingers, narrowing its single eye.
A moment later,
Snap! (Thumb)
"Hmm?"
Zhou Jie looked at Bt's raised thumb with surprise. Good heavens, this stiff yet familiar learning ability.
It was truly irresistible!
She felt completely smitten with this honest, simple fellow; it was so... adorable!
"You should have done an international gesture here, and then Bt would learn it and encourage you like this every day doge"
"The person above made me laugh so hard!"
"Confused for half a day by his four hands!"
"I just arrived, are these two in the stream flirting?"
"This one is even more of a heavyweight!"
.....
The bullet comments, true to form, were atmosphere killers, instantly turning a harmonious and beautiful scene into nothingness.
"Scat, scat!"
Zhou Jie pretended to be angry: "You guys just have too many slick remarks."
Immediately after, Bt scooped up Zhou Jie and placed her in the cockpit.
Mission successfully completed!
At the same time, Captain Cole's excited congratulations came through the radio. The heartfelt "Sir" made Zhou Jie feel incredibly refreshed.
She recalled that back when she emerged from the Pilot trial simulation pod, this guy had shoved a gun into her hand and called her a rookie.
Thirty years east, thirty years west; today he called her Sir!
It felt so damn good!
Boom, boom, boom!!
Zhou Jie's excitement was interrupted by several Titans descending from the sky.
"Damn it, are they deliberately trying to ruin my good mood?"
Zhou Jie switched to Flame Core: "Today, I'll let you all mummify on the spot!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!
Thermite spread across the ground!
Clang!
Rambo's ultimate paved the way!
Screech!!
Flame Core activated, and the battlefield in front of half the control room was engulfed in a sea of flames.
Since her skills didn't consume mana, Zhou Jie poured all her output into them.
"Aooo ooo!!"
"Ahhh ahh!!"
"So hot, so hot!!"
IMC's vanguard units wailed in agony in the sea of fire.
Soon, they fell silent.
"Tch!"
Zhou Jie sneered, "You little trash, how dare you ruin my mood."
Then she waved her hand and said, "Brothers, come on, let's keep the music playing and the dancing going!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!
As soon as she spoke, a loud noise echoed from the sky, and Richter made his grand entrance.
"Is this ever going to end?"
Zhou Jie was furious!
"Want to have a real fight?"
The camera gave Richter a very ostentatious close-up. He provocatively beckoned, "Let's see how you perform in close-quarters combat."
"Still acting tough in front of your daddy?"
Five minutes later, Zhou Jie kicked Richter and his mech, now resembling scrap metal, away.
"I have to say, Ronin Core is really useful!"
"Bt, what should we do next?"
Bt (expressionless): "Activate the signal tower, broadcast the data, and await a response."
As the signal tower's communication program started and the energy reached 100%, a response came through the radio:
"This is Sarah Briggs of the SRS Marauder Legion, the Militia. Please verify."
