Chapter 111 Aaaaah!

"Aaaaah!"

Lu Xiaoyao now just wanted to pay a fortune for a pair of eyes that hadn't seen that trypophobia-inducing image of insect eyes!

She was so dumb!

Why did she subconsciously switch to the view behind the mecha?

While screaming, Lu Xiaoyao heard Mingmei's reminder to quickly eat the bento. So, in the gap where Julian accelerated away from the Zerg behind them, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Lu Xiaoyao stuffing rice into her mouth as fast as she could after screaming, not even bothering to close her mouth.

Julian: Is that even possible?

"Anti-tree monk hon?" (Are you okay?)

With her mouth full of rice, Lu Xiaoyao keenly noticed that Julian in the driver's seat was distracted.

"I'm fine…"

Unable to help but curl the corners of his lips, Julian continued to focus his attention on the insects chasing relentlessly behind them, as well as the other mechas that had been fighting together and were now forced to flee together.

With the large and small intestine bento down the hatch, Julian and Lu Xiaoyao’s two-person mecha returned to its best condition. At this point, Julian had some ideas about the Zerg, which were much smaller than the mecha in size but astonishing in number.

"Lu Xiaoyao."

"What?"

Suddenly hearing the other party call her name, Lu Xiaoyao, who had been eating her bento too quickly and was now choking on the last mouthful of rice, didn't have a very good tone.

"Want more points?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Lu Xiaoyao snorted. That bento was all her previous points. She was back to square one, and she was also thinking about more points.

"Later, I guarantee you can earn five points or more."

"Really?"

"Yeah, as long as you listen to me."

"Haven't I been listening to you all along?" Lu Xiaoyao felt wronged and glared fiercely at Julian. "I was willing to buy you a bento even when I only had two points!"

Julian thought to himself that this was his fault, obediently admitted his mistake, and then said, "When I turn back later, you have to first use the two credits you earn to buy the Beer Duck Bento and eat it, then activate Invincible Mode when I say so."

"Huh?"

What did she hear?

"You're going back?"

Lu Xiaoyao switched the mecha's view. Behind them were dozens or hundreds of Zerg!

Perhaps her expression when she looked at the Zerg was too vivid, Julian directly said, "One insect is one point. Behind us are dozens or hundreds of points!"

Lu Xiaoyao: Damn it!

Why was she suddenly tempted?

"Okay!"

…

Julian wasn't the only one on the field with that idea. The other students in the two-person mechas had also realized what was behind them.

Those were points!

That was an opportunity!

One person fights, the other eats a bento. As long as they coordinate well, this wave is a sure win!

However, Mingmei, who was driving a single-person mecha, was feeling unusually aggrieved at the moment!

She couldn't possibly control the mecha with one hand and stuff the bento into her mouth with the other, could she?

The bento wasn't like a pancake that she could just shove into her mouth along with the container!

Was she just going to watch the two-person mechas turn back and slaughter the Zerg, getting rich and running away? m..oΓg

"Ghostie…"

[No credit, thank you.]

Ghostie immediately saw through what its host wanted to do and ruthlessly rejected the idea she hadn't even spoken, coldly saying, [Right now, you are just a player. Players don't have the privileges that NPCs have.]

"Are you telling me that I should realize that being a player is not as good as being an NPC?"

[That's right.]

"Heh~ Then you should tell that to my uncle~ What's the use of telling me?"

Ghostie: […]

Mingmei turned the mecha around, looked back at the backs of the several two-person mechas charging towards the Zerg, and had another thought. Then she would just lie low for a while, snag a couple of Zerg, buy a Beer Duck Bento to eat, and then go on a rampage and run away invincibly!

Plan complete!

After thinking it through, Mingmei also quietly followed with her mecha. According to her plan, everything went smoothly, except that the only thing that wasn't going her way was that the two-person mechas that had previously had ideas about her still had ideas.

And so, two mechas ended up following her.

These two mechas in front of her were the kind that were ruthless and didn't talk much. As soon as Mingmei's one-minute invincibility ended, they charged up without any intention of communicating.

They deeply understood the essence of "villains die from talking too much."

Mingmei really had no temper at all this time.

"Tsk!"

Mingmei couldn't help but click her tongue. She could be sure that she didn't know any of the students in these two mechas.

Their style and attitude were different from everyone she had met before.

"As expected, the Eight Schools Exchange is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers…"

Mingmei frowned, dodging the attacks of these two mechas while muttering softly, "Why haven't I met any very powerful players in the game before?"

Ghostie: [It's metaphysics~]

"Wow, you, a product of high technology, actually believe in that?" Mingmei didn't expect Ghostie to comfort her in this way.

[You, who came from a world of cultivation, still believe in science!]

It had to be said that Ghostie was extremely talented at arguing. Usually, it was timid and submissive, but once it stood up, it was really unmatched when it came to spraying people!

If only it wasn't directed at its host.

While bickering with Ghostie, Mingmei suddenly noticed that the boundary lines on the electronic map were starting to change again. This time, the range was visibly smaller, and the shape was becoming more and more bizarre.

However, before she could worry about the boundary lines, Mingmei thought of a new plan.

Although the two mechas in front of her were targeting her together, weren't both of their goals to get the points from her "head"?

…

The reaction of the single-person mecha in front of them seemed to be slower.

As soon as Nanami Aoi noticed this, she told her observations to the temporary teammate who was controlling the mecha to fight.

"Ah, really?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yu controlled the mecha to kick the opposing mecha. Sure enough, the mecha that should have been able to defend against his kick was actually a step slow in blocking and was directly kicked away by his mecha!

"Wow, really!"

Lin Yu showed infinite goodwill to his teammate, who had barely said a word at the beginning but was now saying key things!

Being burned by the bright, sparkling eyes that Lin Yu suddenly looked at her with, Nanami Aoi, who was not used to this kind of gaze, turned her face away and continued to focus her attention on the mecha, adding in a stuttering voice, "Be careful of other sneak attacks."

"Okay~"

Lin Yu, who immediately understood what Nanami Aoi meant, indeed noticed that another two-person mecha that had been chasing after them was planning to finish the job and take the head of this single-person mecha.

Lin Yu was immediately amused by the other party's sneaky behavior: "You… don't even think about it!"

…

In the second before Mingmei was kicked away, Mingmei released her blocking action and secretly diverted the mecha's energy to defense, enduring the kick.

One kick took away 60% of her "health," and with the previous damage, the inside of her control room was shaking violently at the moment the mecha was attacked, and the bento in her arms was stuck to her face!

But at this time, Mingmei didn't care. She had to eat quickly! She had no intention of continuing to control the mecha at all.

The remaining health, the mecha's lack of struggle, looked from the outside like it had been crippled, as if it was saying, "I'm just one breath away from death, come and kill me~".

Therefore, seeing that this single-person mecha had "lost" its ability to move, now was the "best moment" for these two two-person mechas to turn against each other!
