Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 388: The Aspirations in a Young Boy's Heart_1


"Really?"

"Of course, big sister can guarantee that to you." The Blade Warrior winked: "Isn't that right, Feng Yi?"

"Uh huh, yeah, that's how it is." Feng Yi sighed, knowing that he had to hold his ground with the topic growing tense.

At this moment, Bigfoot was furiously speeding along, racing through the undulating woodland like it was uncharted terrain. The car was just too cool, with tires as tall as a person, a superb suspension system, and an engine that roared as it echoed through the Beast Forest...

The bespectacled boy was shaking with excitement. He had never ridden in a vehicle like this before, and the feeling of looking down from above was more than a little enjoyable.

The Beast Forest, with its myriad of flowers and bird songs, was a place where bounty hunters set out hunting every day. Despite the dangers of the night and the intense heat, there were still many who chose to hunt during the pleasant evenings of the blistering summer days.

Private cars and pedestrians were seen frequently, their eyes full of undisguised fervor as they gazed at this steel behemoth.

Indeed, while Bigfoot may not be comparable to a battle vehicle, its performance with extra armor was no less than that of an armed jeep. With its exceptional off-road ability, it not only shields from the wind and rain but also serves as the best means to transport monsters.

They continued to drive unimpeded, and the number of hunters they passed along the road gradually decreased. They finally stopped at the edge of the Beast Forest twenty minutes later.

The sky was gradually darkening. In the depths of the jungle, the flickering torchlights were barely visible. According to the electronic map, the sand dunes beneath them were a usual haunt of the Seven-colored Birds. Looking out, the yellow stone forest, bathed in the last rays of the setting sun, exuded an air of ancient and mysterious charm, as if whispering tales of a distant and forgotten past...

With a few crisp clicks, the Red Ghost quickly loaded bullets into an old 10.5-caliber sniper rifle and slung it over her shoulder. The items she rented temporarily from the hunter's office included cables, grenades, and various other combat supplies.

She casually handed Xixi and the bespectacled boy a 5.56-caliber pistol each, along with some bullets, and warned them to use them only in dire need. The value of a single bullet could pay for a meal on Bull Planet.

Ah, was this the simple and fulfilling primitive way of life on Bull Planet? It seemed quite backward. The Blade Warrior shook his head and started rummaging through the Space Crystal without a second thought: "This one, and this, and this, and this one too, take them."

After some searching, she had a selection of dazzling equipment scattered all over the ground...

What exactly had the kid gathered during his years on Death Planet? High-pressure rollers, laser guns, electromagnetic hand cannons, rapid-fire crossbows, in addition to 020 rockets, flying dragon fire, and other equipment that even Feng Yi hadn't seen or heard of before. Many of them had been modified by the Blade Warrior.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Hunting. There are lots of Gold-Eating Beasts on Death Planet. How can we go without some heavy gear? These are the things I tinkered with in my free time. Look, nice, right?"

Far from merely 'nice', the Red Ghost's eyes practically glowed green. If she could have just one of these pieces of equipment, her hunting efficiency would skyrocket.

"Everyone, feel free to pick whatever you want. Don't be shy."

Before the Blade Warrior could finish her sentence, a hawk's cry rang out in her ears. In an instant, a shadow took to the sky, covering half of it.

The Blade Warrior swiftly pulled on her night vision goggles and muttered under her breath, "It'll hurt for a moment, but it's for a good cause. I'm sorry, but you'll have to die." She effortlessly picked up the nearest high-pressure stick, and with the flick of a finger, the heat reactive device locked onto the colossal creature in the sky.

The high-pressure stick was about the thickness of an arm. Inside, a thin wire shot out, piercing the bird's body. With a pained cry, within seconds, the poor bird was transformed into a ready-to-eat roast meat, a slight smell of burning reaching them from afar...

The Red Ghost also wanted to give it a shot and chose a rapid-firing crossbow. She opted for a high spot and waited impatiently. Half an hour later, another Seven-colored Bird came by, and the moment she pulled the trigger, all 200 steel needles were unloaded. The recoil was so powerful that she almost lost her grip. It was only thanks to Feng Yi, who quickly stepped in, that a tragedy was avoided.

This rapid-fire crossbow was terrifying. With its firing speed, its combat power far exceeded that of a mecha. Who needs Feng Yi anymore?

The group had never seen such equipment. It was well-known that the Gundams used on Bull Planet were essentially retrofitted obsolete products. Other than their sturdy armor and durability, they couldn't hold a candle to this equipment.

An hour later, the third Seven-colored Bird appeared. The group wanted to try out the other equipment again, but Feng Yi quickly stopped them. He flicked a blade of wind that cut the bird's crown from a distance, catching sight of it as it sailed through the air. Guided by his Storm Stance, the crown flew straight into Feng Yi's hands.

"Ahem, we have already gained a lot today. Let's call it a day, shall we?" Feng Yi was mindful of the late hour and suggested they head back to clean up and go to bed. If they continued, he feared the innocent villagers might be led astray by the Blade Warrior.

The Blade Warrior wanted to keep playing. Unfortunately, she was outnumbered, and the group got back into Bigfoot to head home. As they drove off, two noticeable Seven-colored Bird carcasses hung from the back of the vehicle, attracting attention as they entered the town lit by street lamps.

Before parting, the Blade Warrior graciously handed the rapid-fire crossbow to the Red Ghost. "You like this, right? You can have it."

"I... I don't."

"You've been eyeing my equipment for a while now, don't deny it." The Blade Warrior made a knowing expression. "Don't be shy, I rarely use it anyway."

"In that case... thanks!" The Red Ghost almost snatched the crossbow away without further ado.

Xixi was expressionless, blinking her innocent eyes, looking unbearably cute. The bespectacled boy, on the other hand, couldn't hide his eagerness. "Sister, what about me?"

"You're still young. These things are dangerous and can hinder your growth."

"But I..." He was abruptly cut off by the Blade Warrior's adamant refusal.

"But I... I want to become a man like Brother Feng." The bespectacled boy was desperate to become a powerful bounty hunter. Now, with a clear goal in mind but lacking the resources, he was devastated to lose this rare opportunity. As he spoke, tears began to roll down his cheeks.

"A real man doesn't cry easily. If you want to surpass me, there's a shortcut."

"What's the shortcut?"

"It's a long story. First, you need a wealth of cognition to arm yourself, to enhance yourself with knowledge and physical strength. All miracles gradually come true, as long as you have a constant heart."

"Really?"

"Of course, your life is still long. I believe that one day, you will catch up with me."

"Then, Brother Feng, can you teach me some basic combat skills?"

"Well, of course, no problem." Feng Yi realized, too late, that he had inadvertently committed himself.
