Feng Yi could tell that the mechanic was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. He tried to understand why the mechanic sought his guidance, questioning if it was solely because of his strength?
Without elaborating much, Tuolei responded to Feng Yi's queries with a mysterious smile, "What's your answer, then?"
Damn! Thought Feng Yi, Guess I'll take this deal! He had already agreed to teach Xiu Yi basic fighting knowledge. Nonetheless, for a seasoned Rank 3 fighter like him, changing his ways was a herculean task. He shrugged and said, "Growth and experience are inseparable, and there are things that I can't pass on. As for guiding on major issues..."
"Straightforward answer, deal done," Tuolei cheekily chimed in.
Tuolei turned around with a faint smile, perhaps recalling the good old days when he was gallivanting around the globe…the moment he heard the Blade Warrior utter Feng Yi's name, and saw the special space crystal he carried, Tuolei was convinced it was the same person old Lasso often talked about.
This cunning brat always left him hanging, only half-spilling the beans. And so, Feng Yi stealthily beckoned him aside.
Feng Yi knew the mechanic was an unorthodox hermit, so the suspicion about his motivations didn't come as a surprise. Personal charisma could solve many problems. The fact that Tuolei chose to abandon material pursuits and retreat to a remote star to lead a pastoral life was a testament to his peace of mind.
Therefore, Feng Yi bluntly passed the burden of the biological mecha to Tuolei. He himself was clueless about it, and even the Blade Warrior, couldn't guarantee a successful dissection of the internal structure. Any miscalculation could lead to a catastrophe. After all, Feng Yi wanted Tuolei to solve the problem or provide useful clues, such as where to find a living mechanical artisan.
Unexpectedly, Tuolei willingly obliged and led him to a secret modification warehouse. He asked a few people to wait outside and let Feng Yi figure out where to place the Mecha.
With a ground-shaking thud, the humanoid mecha appeared right in front of them.
After a thorough examination, Tuolei frowned deeply, "This mecha..."
Feng Yi was extremely puzzled by Tuolei's unfinished sentence, "What about it, can you see what's wrong?"
Shaking his head without much conviction, Tuolei stated, "From the structure analysis, it seems to be a transforming mecha. If I'm not mistaken, considering the overall core, the designer definitely must have chosen ultra-gold liquid metal mixture as the basic skeleton. I really can't think of anyone who could have created this nowadays. I fear its combat performance surpasses other countries' super-Mecha. Unfortunately, some of its components are already obsolete."
Feng Yi never imagined that the biological mecha could have such outstanding features. He wasn't aiming very high with the mecha, as long as it wasn't too crappy. His main concern was whether the mecha could be operated or not?
"Whether it can be operated, is uncertain yet. But more importantly, would you like a cigarette?" Tuolei offering, holding out a cigarette of the grape brand.
"No thanks," replied Feng Yi, gently pushing away the cigarette and simultaneously handing him a mobile disk. "Here's a backup of the biological mecha's project parameters, you should be able to understand it, right?"
Tuolei stumbled, "Why didn't you give it to me earlier?"
"One needs to chew their food, and talk one word at a time. Besides, you didn't ask," replied Feng Yi. In reality, although he could understand the detailed Mecha parameters, he was stumped by the biology aspect. Having been out of touch for centuries, he wasn't sure whether this thing could actually be operated or not.
Tuolei excitedly examined the project parameters as if he'd discovered a treasure, "Great stuff, give me a few days to study it!" Suddenly remembering his manners, he quickly changed the topic, "Ahem, it's already late, young man, you should go home and rest."
So, on that night, Feng Yi and the Blade Warrior decided to stay over at Big Head Autoshop. The Autoshop, a three-tiered building, was a different kind of luxury to sleep under the stars.
By the time the dawn's bell tolled, the peace dove had already soared into the sky. As the refreshing air of Yatu filled their lungs, they woke up to chirping birds in the countryside...
A thread of morning light peeped through the screen window, gently awakening Xiu Yi. His place was just diagonally opposite the Motor Vehicle Maintenance Centre. The first words he uttered upon waking were "Damn, I'm going to be late!"
Xiu Yi, in a rush, hurried to the Maldives Manor dressed in a spruce attire. As he was approaching, he noticed an elegant silhouette gradually appearing in the distance. The woman was standing tall with a slender waist, wearing a black combat leather suit that perfectly fitted her. Xiu Yi was ecstatic at the sight of Red Ghost, hollering, "Sister Red Ghost..." As a budding hunter of Yatu, having the opportunity to train with Sister Red Ghost was a thrilling prospect.
However, Xiu Yi's ambitions were not limited to just this. From childhood, he had set a lofty goal for himself to become the unrivaled bounty hunter of the Bull Planet.
Red Ghost shot Xiu Yi a fleeting glance, "You're almost late."
Xiu Yi casually dismissed her point, "Hehehe, doesn't matter, Brother Feng isn't here yet."
"Suit yourself," Red Ghost sighed, the air laden with a sigh of exclamation!
"Sister Red Ghost, have you had your breakfast...by the way, why do you wear high heels during training?" Xiu Yi kept trying to engage her in conversation, but he never got a response from Red Ghost, who seemed reluctant to waste her energy on frivolous talks.
In all honesty, Red Ghost was both anticipating and taking seriously the upcoming events. She never thought she would be privileged enough to receive such high-level guidance one day. On the outside, she remained calm, but her heart was a whirlwind of emotions.
Visitors streamed in and out of Maldives Manor, and the trees casted a dense shade. Some folks were playing badminton, football, and some were golfing. But despite waiting for an hour, there was no sign of Feng Yi. Hence, Xiu Yi, who was feeling uncomfortable standing, was starting to lose his patience.
Red Ghost remained motionless throughout, with stoic resolve as ever. After all, as a warrior, she could stand all day without fatigue. As Yatu's cold beauty, she was reticent and barely acknowledged the cheeky advances of handsome guys, replying with 'no time' or just silence, as if she never heard them at all.
One hour, two hours, as the sun climbed to the zenith, they finally heard a familiar greeting: "Hey."
Turning around, they were met with Feng Yi's comments, "I've been here for a minute, you guys aren't very vigilant, huh?"
"Why did Brother Feng take such a long time to arrive?"
Feng Yi paused momentarily, "Oh...apologies for that, I wasn't familiar with the surroundings so it took me some time to find this place."
What kind of excuse was that? Maldives Manor was just a few hundred meters away from Uncle Lei's mechanic shop. Considering Feng Yi's speed, he could get there and back in an instant. Xiu Yi voiced his displeasure, "Brother Feng, that's a fib."
Red Ghost blinked her beautiful eyelashes, but said nothing.
"Come on, don't make a fuss about such insignificant matters," reconciled Feng Yi.
