Chapter 1 "Ah, ah, ah, don't come over here!"

Mingmei watched the six mecha units suddenly flying towards her, launching their primary attacks. Her pupils shook as she instantly activated the one-minute invincibility effect from the beer duck boxed lunch she had just eaten.

The moment it activated, Mingmei's mecha became transparent. The attacks from the six mecha units passed right through her body, blasting a Zerg unit behind her that was about to "transform" into smithereens!

"Huh! A girl?"

Someone in the public channel remembered Mingmei's terrified scream from earlier. Sounded like a young lady!

"Woo-hoo~ It's a girl~"

"Damn it! Girls deserve to die even more!"

Mingmei: "Huh? What's wrong with girls?"

"Girls! The bane of pick-up teams! No girls, no pick-up teams!"

"What the heck?"

Mingmei didn't understand this explanation. Subconsciously, she dodged an attack that wouldn't harm her right now, while glaring angrily at the six mecha units that were still chasing her relentlessly, even in her mecha's ethereal state.

Indignantly, Mingmei retorted, "Can you guys not be so sexist? Who says girls are the bane of pick-up teams?! It was clearly me who was blinded by good looks and forced my way onto the team! If you want to fight, why not fight the handsome guys!"

Mu Chen, who was rushing to save his girlfriend: ???

Other players: "..."

"Hmph! You're the only defensive mecha here. Who else would we target, so obvious?!"

Finally, the players ganging up on Mingmei revealed their true intentions and stopped pretending!

All that talk about girls being the root of all evil was just an excuse.

They were just afraid of attacking the wrong person again!

While they were arguing, Mingmei's invincibility timer ran out. Unable to continue scolding them, Mingmei, like Li Yuan before her, turned and ran. At that moment, Mu Chen's voice came again, "Meimei, you go first. Leave the rest to me!"

"Be careful!"

Breaking through a Zerg that was trying to sneak attack, Mingmei didn't hesitate. Trusting Mu Chen with her back, she flew away as fast as she could.

Mu Chen looked at the few mecha units of the same model who still wanted to chase after her, and a villainous smile appeared on his lips.

Hu Yue had recognized who the two mecha units who had teamed up were!

Oh dear!

This was truly…

So, under the puzzled gazes of the other mecha units, Hu Yue also ran.

She flew away in the opposite direction from Mingmei, leaving behind a sentence: "Mu Chen, sorry, I didn't mean to earlier. Now I'm leaving them to you. I'm out of here!"

"Damn! There's someone who knows the other side!"

"Don't! Let's go together!"

The other five mecha units cleverly followed Hu Yue's mecha, attempting to confuse the situation. That way, the opposing mecha wouldn't be able to tell who the acquaintance was, hahaha!

Hu Yue was so angered by these five mecha units that she almost rolled her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "Can't the five of you beat him one-on-one? Why are you running?"

Logically, what Hu Yue said made sense, but one of the other five mecha units said, "If we could beat him, why would you be running? Looking at you, that guy must be very strong. Even if we win five-on-one, we might lose a few of us. We're not really a team anyway. Who would feel bad for those who get taken out~"

"That's right!"

"Exactly!"

"So, running is definitely the right choice!"

Hu Yue: !!!

Damn! You guys are really little smart alecks!

Mu Chen looked at the six mecha units flying away, observed the electronic map, and without thinking, accelerated towards the six mecha units.

Today, none of them would escape!

…

Compared to Mu Chen's rhythm of one person intercepting six people, Mingmei didn't know if she was just unlucky, but after escaping, she first ran into two dual-pilot mecha units and a large group of Zerg behind them!

The opposing mecha units clearly saw Mingmei's single-pilot mecha suddenly rushing out, but they were currently troubled by a large group of Zerg behind them, and had no intention of attacking Mingmei at all. Seeing this, Mingmei naturally ran away in the direction away from the two dual-pilot mecha units.

She didn't want to encounter either the dual-pilot mecha units or the Zerg, okay?

Unfortunately, after Mingmei changed direction, what flew towards her were five dual-pilot mecha units fighting in a chaotic mess.

She didn't want to get involved, but someone in one of the dual-pilot mecha units directly picked up a meteorite flying beside them and smashed it towards another mecha unit. The other party dodged, causing the meteorite to fly straight towards Mingmei.

Mingmei: !!

The most deadly thing was that the high-speed flying meteorite actually transformed into a Zerg midway!

Mingmei launched an attack skill, but the other party dodged it with a sidestep. Unexpectedly, that attack hit the dual-pilot mecha unit that had just dodged the meteorite.

The hit mecha unit instantly froze in mid-air for half a second, giving the opposing mecha a chance to launch several attacks in a row!

"Sneak-attacking villain!"

A clear and familiar voice instantly made Mingmei realize who she had just hit.

Wasn't that Lu Xiaoyao?

Before Mingmei could even say hello, Lu Xiaoyao, while blocking the opposing mecha's attack, took the time to throw another attack towards Mingmei. While dodging, Mingmei rolled into a pile of three other dual-pilot mecha units fighting nearby!

Mingmei: 0.0

Other players: ???

Before Mingmei could run away, she saw one of the dual-pilot mecha units directly make a gesture. She had learned that gesture in school – [Stop! Switch targets.]

Ming, new target, Mei: 0.0!!!

"Lu Xiaoyao!"

Angered, Mingmei shouted in the public channel. Since there were mecha units in front and behind her anyway, and there were Zerg trying to sneak attack, Mingmei didn't mind making the scene even more chaotic. She led the three mecha units and the Zerg straight towards Lu Xiaoyao and them!

"Waah, ah, ah, ah, Meimei, you can't do this!"

Hearing Mingmei's voice, Lu Xiaoyao's face also revealed a painful expression. At that moment, the mecha was completely controlled by Zhu Li'an. Seeing this sudden change, his face instantly darkened. He directly said to Lu Xiaoyao, "Hurry up and eat your boxed lunch. Leave the rest to me!"

Having been sneak attacked earlier and hit several times head-on, the mecha's integrity was only 40%. If they took a few more hits, he and Lu Xiaoyao would be done for!

"Then drive steadily! I'm still…"

Before she could finish speaking, the cockpit shook violently again. If Lu Xiaoyao hadn't been quick to grab the boxed lunch she had just taken out, it would have spilled.

"I'm going to die!"

Mingmei rushed in front of them and suddenly made a sharp turn, dodging an attack from behind. Once again, Lu Xiaoyao's mecha was hit.

The entire mecha crashed into a huge meteorite next to it, smashing out a, uh, a pile of Zerg!

The huge and unremarkable meteorite seemed to be activated the moment it was smashed by the mecha. Countless Zerg eyes suddenly opened on the rock behind Lu Xiaoyao's mecha.

The dense mass of Zerg eyes instantly startled the mecha units that were still trying to take advantage of the situation to stop in their tracks!

Players: Crap? Are you kidding me?!

"Boxed lunch! Beer duck boxed lunch!"

Mingmei didn't care about Lu Xiaoyao dragging her into the battle earlier. She directly opened the public channel and shouted, "You guys get up and eat your boxed lunch!"
