Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 778: 673


Even the intense heat and brightness of the explosion were so overwhelming that Sky Eye couldn't see inside what exactly happened. Wait, Greedy Wolf thought of someone, the only one who possibly could have caused this - someone whom Roland didn't mention before he left. Upon this thought, Greedy Wolf promptly stubbed out his cigarette and called Heavenly Communication.

In the urgency of the situation, Feng Yi had forgotten about Heavenly Communication. As he saw the number, he paused for a moment, then answered the call only to say that he was busy, and promptly ended it after saying goodbye.

That's all the information Greedy Wolf needed. He didn't ask for more because the response he hoped for was something even he himself was uncertain.

However, life goes on, and people still need to work hard every day, earning a living to support their families. The interrupted program was resumed with Xiao Ba's singing after a delay of five minutes. As it happened the general public was eager to hear it. But the incident involving the Revenge Shadow Rider overshadowed it.

Boom...

In the middle of Xiao Ba's performance, a familiar presence descended from the sky - it was none other than the Revenge Shadow Rider. Despite the visible injuries, it was still alive, watching silently as Xiao Tian sang with his ethereal voice, breaking all boundaries. The Revenge Shadow Rider seemed to step forward and begin to ascend, quietly listening.

Although the scene was separated by a pane of glass, people inside were unaware of what was happening outside and vice versa. However, due to the size of the Revenge Shadow Rider, people outside could clearly see it, suspended above, attentively listening to Xiao Ba break the limits with his song.

The Military Department was the first to receive the news of the Revenge Shadow Rider's second appearance. They ordered their super soldiers to prepare for intervention, but the orders were quickly overridden by a direct command from Greedy Wolf, a general in the Capital's Military Department. He instructed them not to harass the Revenge Shadow Rider, after all, it had helped the federation.

That was the humanitarian explanation, but Greedy Wolf, as a politician, would not let the government be slandered for being ungrateful. To him, the Revenge Shadow Rider was not an enemy that needed to be immediately captured. The officials seemed to overlook this fact. They could not act against the Revenge Shadow Rider now, they needed proper justification to do so.

What? The Revenge Shadow Rider appeared again? The news of its second appearance spread quickly. It was a huge story: a live Shadow Rider was spotted. In no time, the news of the Revenge Shadow Rider appearing in the skies above Icebird spread like wildfire across social media platforms, forums, and major campus websites. Thanks to the photographs as proof.

People who heard the news quickly dropped their work to come and see. In the past, seeing the Revenge Shadow Rider in a game was one thing, but seeing it in real life was a totally different experience, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The passersby around started taking out their Light Screen cameras to capture the scene. Some attractive ladies were asking strangers to help them take photos, but the point was, everyone wanted a selfie with the Revenge Shadow Rider. They even wanted short videos with the Revenge Shadow Rider in the background.

Aside from those taken by acquaintances, the area was swept up in a selfie craze...

As for Feng Yi, he just wanted to quietly listen to the song - the song that Xiao Ba was singing to the audience. When he saw Xiao Ba, he was reminded of the past; he remembered Guo Guo, who always had an innocent smile on her face. She was always a bit clumsy, just like Xiao Ba, these attributes have been directly extracted by Eggy.

But, it was enough for him to watch from afar and listen to the voice he wanted to hear. He wasn't going to make an effort to contact anyone, even Xiao Ba. Xiao Ba had her own happy family. It was an ordinary family, not particularly rich, but it was full of warmth and happiness.

Unlike himself, he was silent, solitary, constantly at war, a nomad. Apart from his comrades, he had few real friends to rely on. He would pilot his mecha alone, embodying what others misconstrued as strength. Even Francis and Xiu Yi deliberately dodged him. He knew his existence was fraught with unknown dangers, which would inconvenience him and those he cared about.

Francis, they'd formed a true friendship through shared trials and tribulations since childhood. That camaraderie was clear as a spring, rich as ink, or potent as an aged wine, becoming simple upon consumption. The subtle charm of friendship between gentlemen was such. They were companions who had experienced life and death together as children. Although they chose different paths as they grew up, their hearts remained the same.

As for Xiu Yi, he was an enviable rascal who resembled his past self. Full of curiosity and longing for the unknown world, he hoped to ride a mecha to explore the starry sea one day. Sadly, Xiu Yi was still too young.

However, age did not chain an individual. Xiu Yi was different from him. He had companions and comrades, Xixi, and Red Ghost, they depended on each other. Their eyes were full of fighting spirit and bodies brimming with courage. They were not as lonely as he was.

Every time he saw Xiu Yi, Feng Yi felt like he was looking at his younger self. He kept observing Xiu Yi without interruption but in silence. As time flew by, years had passed, and the two kids probably had matured by now.

He and Xiu Yi had always stayed in touch. They never broke off communication. However, it was only through letters. Due to the remoteness and economic backwardness of the Bull Planet, communication between starfields was near impossible. Xiu Yi, as a child, lacked suitable communication devices, so other than sending letters, there weren't any other means to communicate.

Feng Yi began to lose himself in his thoughts until the singing ceased. Seeing the Revenge Shadow Rider gazing skywards before dashing towards the sky with a blast from the engine, the people found that after the Mecha left, it shot into the atmosphere like a meteor before disappearing into the endless cosmos…

Who'd have thought that the Revenge Shadow Rider would specifically come to listen to a little girl's singing? Francis felt a profound and moving sensation watching from his light screen. Who else but Shadow Rider would do such a thing in this world full of ordinary people? The answer was none! Even if there was, Francis believed it would be with ulterior motives.

Regardless, the fact that Xiao Ba supported the Revenge Shadow Rider would not change, no matter what others said. After all, Revenge Shadow Rider proved he listened to songs. This wasn't fake.

People said that Xiao Ba's family was financially average. After giving it some thoughts, even if her family were a bit well-off, they would not end up living on a border planet engulfed in war. Considering the Revenge Shadow Rider listened to Xiao Ba's songs, what excuses would he, the second Shadow Rider, have for not doing the same? On the contrary, Hans would follow the will of Shadow Rider. He believed what he witnessed was what Shadow Rider wanted everyone to see.

However, Hans knew the Revenge Shadow Rider better than anyone else. As Xiao Ba's show came to an end, he intended to make immediate contact. But he felt that would be too abrupt, so he decided to wait until the next day.

The olive branch he extended was intended for Xiao Ba. He harbored the idea of producing a children's cover song with her to break boundaries. After all, Xiao Ba had a beautiful voice. Although not as mellow as an adult's, it radiated sincerity.

It was crucial to understand that there weren't any commercial interests mixed in; everything was free. It was for Xiao Ba's dream and for the Revenge Shadow Rider. The public adored Xiao Ba, and as a condition, the Star Wars company would be responsible for all her expenses until she became an adult. These included tuition, living expenses, and a key element - a property on the Capital Planet.

It is known that the price of property on the Capital Planet was worth its weight in gold, one square meter equates to the three-year wage of an average man. Not including utilities, purchasing during a loan crunch was even more difficult. Many disabled veterans returning from the frontlines lived in cramped spaces. Thanks to their great homeland, they didn't starve to death on the streets, at the very least they had a roof over their heads.
