Chapter 171 Bait

Mingmei didn't have any particular aversion to being used as bait, but she wondered who knew about it and who had suggested it.

"Don't worry, your second brother will be with you."

Qie Xier thought Mingmei was worried about her safety, so she comforted her, saying that Mei Qiu would be coming this time.

Mei Qiu, the god of slaughter, should be a reassuring presence, right?

Qie Xier recalled the way the homeroom teacher of the class next door had looked when she said her student's older brother would also be coming this time.

[Although I don't like her brother very much, his arrival will increase our sense of security, so it should be good, right?]

It should be pretty good.

At least, that's what Qie Xier thought about Mei Qiu's arrival.

"That's not it... I was wondering..."

Since Mei Qiu was coming too, Mingmei felt it wasn't necessary to ask who knew about this. Her words trailed off as she nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Do you already have suspects? Is there a chance this plan will be leaked?"

"We already have suspects," Qie Xier nodded. "But we can't just arrest them every time we see them slip up. We need to know what they're trying to do."

Qie Xier told Mingmei that the Zerg spies caught by both the Empire and the Federation recently had all died very quickly.

A quick death that prevented them from obtaining any information.

That's why they planned to lure the snake out of its hole this time.

"Alright," Mingmei nodded, agreeing to cooperate with their plan.

But clearly, Mingmei alone wouldn't be enough as bait.

That afternoon, Mu Chen and Lu Gui were also called in by Qie Xier for talks.

Mu Chen agreed to be bait quite readily, but when he learned that Mingmei would also be participating in the operation, his reaction gave Qie Xier the same suffocating feeling Mei Qiu had experienced when he proposed the plan on Hua Lan Star and was chased and beaten by several family elders.

"Even so, this is too dangerous." Lu Gui, standing beside Mu Chen, twitched his lips at Mu Chen's double standard.

He had clearly seen the excitement in Mu Chen's eyes when it was his turn, but when it came to Mingmei, he suddenly looked worried and said it was too dangerous?

Her parents-in-law, who usually chanted the "the kids are grown, let them do as they please" mantra of laissez-faire parenting, weren't saying that this time.

They wanted to grab Mei Qiu and ask him what he was doing.

Her uncle, Ming Qi, who was usually a gentlemanly type who doted on his wife, also disagreed when this happened.

Although he didn't resort to violence, he produced a pile of documents about how treacherous and cunning the Zerg were and what terrible consequences could arise from unexpected events, and dragged Mei Qiu off to drink tea.

Ming Qi and Mei Qiu, the twins, repeatedly argued about whether to guarantee Mingmei's safety as bait or to prevent her from being bait at all.

Qie Xier even thought she and her husband would be kicked out of the house because of this ＿(：3 」∠)＿

Fortunately, the two uncles gave Mingmei the Jinyi mech in a timely manner, greatly increasing her sense of security.

Even if there was a one-in-ten-thousand chance of a flaw in the plan, it would ensure the safety of the students participating as bait.

"Mingmei has already agreed, and we've put a lot of effort into ensuring the students' safety this time."

Qie Xier met Mu Chen's bright "Really? I don't believe it" expression and truly believed Mei Qiu's previous reminder.

It was better to let Mu Chen do it himself than to say anything to him.

So she added, "I'll arrange for you to be in the same group later. Since you're so worried, why don't you do it yourself?"

"Alright~"

Qie Xier: "..."

Lu Gui: That works too?!

Lu Gui was a little doubtful about life.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyao wasn't in this plan, otherwise, he wouldn't agree even if he was arranged to be with Lu Xiaoyao!

He admitted that he was afraid of being led astray by his sister.

…

"So this is the virtual full view of Jinyi?"

After learning about the plan, Mingmei entered the mech virtual space of the Star Network that night, imported the data of Jinyi, and stood in front of this nearly twenty-meter-tall humanoid mech.

Under the spatial lighting adjusted by Mingmei, the faint luster reflected from the surface of the jet-black mech gave people a direct visual illusion.

From a distance, a thin layer of blue-black mist vaguely rose from the surface of the mech, making it look very hazy.

This was seen when Mingmei turned the background around the mech to a high-light white. If it was placed in the vast universe, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this guy could become invisible.

[So handsome!]

Even Gui Gui couldn't help but praise the excellence of this mech, and it felt extremely excited to put part of its consciousness into the mech to cooperate with Mingmei.

"By the way, what exactly is Jinyi's killing weapon?"

Mingmei stared at Jinyi for a long time, and was finally about to enter the mech's cockpit to start familiarizing herself with Jinyi, and by the way, see what kind of killing weapon it had.

As a result, as soon as she entered the cockpit and looked at the weapon data of Jinyi, Mingmei suddenly felt that her uncle really offended the Zerg to death with this wave.

Jinyi is equipped with the insect core of the Zerg queen.

Jinyi comes with a built-in function, a powerful Zerg mental jammer.

As long as the pilot's mental strength is strong enough, the mental energy of the Zerg queen's insect core can be used to directly destroy the entire Zerg army in front of them.

Especially the race where this insect core belonged.

The Zerg queen's orders, the insects of their race will not hesitate to die on the spot even if they are asked to die!

And Jinyi is equipped with nearly eight kinds of insect cores of the Zerg queen.

"I'll go! Where did you get them?"

Mingmei looked at the insect cores of these insects that often appeared on the battlefield, and her mind crashed for a while.

Wasn't it said that the number of this insect core of the Zerg queen was very few in the entire interstellar space?

She had eight inlaid on one mech!

To take a step back, even if the mental interference didn't work, just take these insect cores and self-destruct, Mingmei was confident that she could blow up a small galaxy with them ＿(：3 」∠)＿

No wonder the staff were so scared when she went to get the mech last time.

Mingmei felt that it was necessary to share such a powerful Jinyi with Mu Chen. Mu Chen, who was already worried that Mingmei's participation in the capture plan was dangerous, had a very complicated expression when he heard that Mingmei also had such a heaven-defying mech that attracted hatred.

The mech was good, and safety was guaranteed.

But such a mech was also a proper hatred attractor.

Although she didn't know how high Mei Qiu could rank on the Zerg's assassination list, Mu Chen suspected that Mingmei would probably be on the list as soon as this mech was unveiled, maybe even more fiercely than her brother.

This was like you were fighting with your enemy, you took a very powerful dagger, and then said: "Hey, this dagger is made of your mother's ribs, is it good-looking?"

The scene was imaginable.

"Where did so many insect cores come from?"

Mu Chen was sure that Mei Qiu couldn't do so much alone.

"Dad got four before, my second brother got one from a battle, another one was bought by my uncle, and the other two were given by the main brain."

When Mingmei said this, she suddenly realized a problem: "Isn't my dad... always traveling around with my mom? Where did he have time to do these things?"

"I remember you said that your father helped your second brother catch insects and provide materials when he was hiding..." Mu Chen reminded slightly, "Maybe it was just then?"

…

"Probably by the way, as you also know, the higher the level of these ethnic groups in the Zerg's gathering place, the closer the place of residence is to the innermost royal insect queen. In order to catch a hidden Zerg, my dad took a turn around the Zerg gathering place. He heard from the main brain that this thing was very valuable."

Not only were young couples video chatting late at night, but even young couples living in different places were also video chatting at this time.

Looking at Mei Qiu, who didn't even have time to take off his combat uniform, knew how late he had been working these days. .oΓg

"You don't know, how flustered the staff at the Central Starport were when my uncle sent the mech to my sister, although they couldn't access the internal core information of the mech at all, but even so, my father contacted me overnight afterwards."

"Pfft~ How did you comfort them?"

"I told them not to be afraid, anyway, it's useless to be afraid." Qie Xier spread her hands helplessly, "The Zerg should be afraid of this thing. The insect core device in Jinyi's body can hold at least a dozen kinds of insect cores, and only eight are installed now..."

Qie Xier couldn't help but admit that she was inflated, how about her father-in-law's level...

"My dad said that the Zerg's luck hasn't come to an end yet."

In Ming Yi's opinion, races whose luck has not come to an end cannot be destroyed just by saying they will be destroyed, and may even cause a rebound.

"Yeah. I'll go to your place in a few days when I'm done, you can help me apply for the mech flight permit in advance."

Mei Qiu hadn't finished the things in his hands these days, and according to the normal speed of the starship, Mei Qiu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to arrive on time, so he planned to fly over directly in the mech.

In this regard, a blue vein bulged visibly on Qie Xier's forehead.

"Mei Qiu, don't you have any idea how much commotion you've caused by driving mechs all these years?"
