Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 317 Departure Time_2


At this moment, Feng Yi had changed into a tight-fitting outfit, the loose black battle suit glaringly was the Shadow's personal attire from young to old, fitting without losing the sense of explosive beauty. Even just walking down the street, people could feel a sliver of icy coldness emanating from this stern man.

"Brother, this is my good girlfriend, Anna."

Seeing Zi Mou, a fleeting tenderness appeared on Feng Yi's stern face, "Hehe, you just got here, are you tired? Let's find a place to rest." Feng Yi automatically filtered out Angelina.

This made the naturally prideful Angelina flash an odd look in her eyes. She probably had heard about Shadow from Zi'er, so other than the oddness, there weren't many changes. Instead, upon seeing this handsome man, a sly look appeared on her proud and pretty face.

The three of them quickly arrived at a soundproof hotel. As they walked into the room, Feng Yi immediately spread his mental power and re-surveyed the hotel. Only then did he shake his head and reveal his original face by rubbing his tightly stretched facial muscles back and forth with his fingers.

After entering the room, the faces of Zi Mou and Angelina suddenly changed too. Looking at this man who would be their future brother, they inevitably had some complex feelings...

"I haven't received a new plan." Feng Yi bluntly said straight out.

Angelina exhaled in disappointment. This guy was everything she wanted, only he would break out of character too quickly. She originally intended to tease him a bit.

"You're just making excuses for your negligence. You've been blocking Heavenly Communication all day and you're still saying that you didn't receive the notification of plan change." Zi Mou looked resentful and her voice was somewhat hoarse.

She couldn't believe that the upper echelons would send such a guy to execute such a special mission. While she did believe in his personal strength and intelligence, many things depend on one's attitude. In some aspects, what Feng Yi did could be deemed as treason, but he had repeatedly secured military victories and even been awarded the federal Hero Medal. Although it had not been made public yet, it was only a matter of time before he would become a national hero who attracted a lot of media attention, regardless of the political factors involved. If it were Feng Yi, he might indeed be able to reach that rank with his own power.

"This is my usual way of doing things. If you're used to binding yourself to the value of a task, then I admit defeat." Feng Yi knew he was at fault. Regarding his sister's criticism, he chose to let it in one ear and out the other. He inquired, "What's the new action plan?"

"Take a look at this." Zi Mou casually took out an electronic encrypted file from the Space Crystal, which recorded the specific arrangements for this action plan, issued by the Supreme Command.

Feng Yi glanced over it repeatedly. So that's what the matter was... He then asked Angelina in confusion, "If I remember correctly, the elite Red Cloak should have a spot for you."

"Huh huh. Not bad——aside from me, there are nine other people." After Feng Yi's inquiry, Angelina casually mentioned some names. They included herself, Sky Shadow, Mu Tou, the Charles brothers, Ophelia, Dovir, Cangmu, Kuang Qi, Hugo, and another mysterious person whose details even she wasn't clear about. Besides, she knew that the person's power was unfathomable, even capable of competing with ace-level fighters.

People like the chubby Zhang Xiaobo and Elvis will just have to step aside. The selection of the Red Cloak has already been filled. The dozens of people in the back will likely have to remain in the third and fourth tiers. After all, nobody can become fat with one bite. Although Elvis and the chubby Zhang Xiaobo had shown full battle power, they were far behind ordinary Red Cloak members, let alone those at elite level. At the very least, they needed time for validation; one or two years at a minimum, and if not, maybe in their next life. Everything depends on their destiny.

It's worth mentioning Dummy Mu Tou. During the Red Cloak's flood season, Angelina claimed that his abilities were so mediocre that even the weakest of the elite Red Cloaks could outperform him. Yet his shooting accuracy was incredibly high. His terrifying static shooting skill may even surpass that of ace pilot Grand. A good comparison would be the Revenge Shadow Rider. Feng Yi surely would have heard of the Revenge Shadow Rider and knew how good he was. Mu Tou's shooting skills were on par with his, indicating that Mu Tou's potential could certainly match anyone in the Red Cloak's elite.

Feng Yi felt particularly gratified to hear Angelina praising him like this. During Wind Thunder training, he had discerned Mu Tou's potential and had intentionally or unintentionally offered precisely timed guidance. He hadn't expected his protege to advance to such a high level.

However, Angelina ultimately expressed that good old blockhead Mu Tou could be obstinate. Despite his superb shooting skills, he was no match for Elvis or any other fatty under single combat conditions. He even revealed significant weaknesses when battling second-tier masters. The problem was his shallow foundation; opponents often wouldn't give him opportunities to aim and fire.

As she talked, Angelina suddenly broke into laughter. Just thinking about it made her laugh. Mu Tou was such a simpleton! According to Angelina, during tests at the proposed Red Cloak training base in Eden, the Capital, Mu Tou not only demonstrated his simple-mindedness but was also dazedly cute. Even many female soldiers liked to tease him. From private soldiers to senior military officers, every one of them had some social skills, but this guy was so out of place that it attracted the Military Department's attention. This caused a bunch of senior military officers to be green with envy.

The most critical thing was, during the tests, Mu Tou's skill level pretty much ranked him at the bottom. Sky Shadow Gundam, with a hand speed of 450 cards, ranked first—though he may have held back. Regardless of whether others did or not, she definitely did. The people who came next were many, like Ophelia, Hugo, and even herself. Even if most people couldn't reach the Red Cloak standard line of 300 cards, they could hover around 270 or 280. But Mu Tou was different—any excitement and his hand speed dropped, not increasing. At the most efficient, he could only maintain at 200, often significantly discounted by others' derisive laughter.

Then came the reaction tests, awareness tests, and so on... Anyway, Mu Tou was always at the bottom.

Thanks to Zi Mou and a few friends from Wind Thunder for this. If it wasn't for their encouragement, Mu Tou might have been even more demoralized. It's worth mentioning Sky Shadow, a person difficult to describe—he gave off a deceptive vibe and was completely inscrutable. Despite this, he was unusually close to Mu Tou, occasionally pointing out Mu Tou's weaknesses with either intent or no intent. After training, he often took Mu Tou to the bar for a couple of drinks. This was something she found incomprehensible.

She and Zi Mou both suspected that Sky Shadow might have plans to use Mu Tou. This remained a mystery.

As for the Super Mecha manufacturing project, it was already confirmed. However, manufacturing a Super Mecha was a slow process and would take at least six months. Therefore, she decided to go outside for some fresh air. As a backup Red Cloak, she was the only special person among the crowd. Her strength lay not in physical power but the mental ability attack, a unique ability highly valued.

Yet despite her significance, her value was lower than Mu Tou's. Angelina still couldn't comprehend what those military idiots were thinking—this knocked her confidence heavily.

As for politics, let the politicians handle it. This mission was partly to improve her latent capability. Since mental ability and battle were different, she could do it anywhere. Perhaps doing missions and sightseeing in her free time might have a better refining effect. Of course, with Angelina's professional skills, she was the best candidate to support this mission. Given all these factors and after the Military Department's discussion upon her application, they decided to change the original plan.

As for when to go, it was totally up to Feng Yi. After all, Feng Yi was her brother. Angelina said the last sentence in a teasing tone.

Feng Yi responded to Angelina with a threat, shrugging. "The journey to the Bermuda Galaxy is highly risky and expensive, and there's only one trip per week. The black market merchants won't fear death for money. Sister Anna, are you prepared for the possibility of not returning?"

Peals of laughter resounded through the hotel...
