Chapter 289

At most, this is the extent to which Kafka can be restored.

After giving it some thought.

Lin Qi did not let Kafka begin her next life immediately.

Instead, he sent a message to the "Stellaron Essence."

【Lin's Curios: Are you busy right now?】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Σ(? Д?)?】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Big Boss, you need me for something? Even if I were busy, I'd have to say I'm not!】

【Lin's Curios: Seeing how you've been grinding away, I'm a bit worried you might drop dead from exhaustion, so I'm checking in on you. By the way, I'm giving you some rewards in advance.】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Really? Thank you, Doctor! But the reward... what is it? It's a mech, right? I'm not greedy; I don't need one as powerful as Seele's. Just give me one that can transform, okay?】

【Lin's Curios: If you wanted Seele's set, you wouldn't be able to adapt to it without training for a few years, and you simply don't have the time for that—unless you stop being a Trailblazer. Don't worry, I'm giving you the elite armor of the Jarilo Iron Cavalry, the kind that transforms with a single click. It's portable and efficient.】

【Galaxy Baseballer: NICE! That sounds great too, just thinking about it makes it look cool!】

The Jarilo Iron Cavalry, although built based on Firefly's Glamoth Iron Cavalry.

But how many years old are those Glamoth Iron Cavalry antiques?

With Lin Qi's current technology, he has long since iterated on them countless times.

Only then was the current version finalized.

And subsequently mass-produced.

Ultimately.

The Iron Cavalry is composed mostly of standard-issue combat armor.

Then equipped with higher-performance elite armor as a supplement to the Iron Cavalry's combat power.

Plus a small number of special models.

Thus.

This constitutes the entirety of the Jarilo Iron Cavalry.

And the combat capability of the elite Iron Cavalry armor is already on par with Firefly without her special state activated.

Of course.

This refers to the time before Firefly joined the Stellaron Hunters and had not yet joined Jarilo.

Now, it certainly cannot compare.

But then again.

The combat power of the elite Iron Cavalry reaching the level of a conventional Sam is already quite rare.

Star has seen the Jarilo Iron Cavalry.

And not just once.

She even remembers the ultimatum the Iron Cavalry issues before launching an attack on a target very clearly.

"Leave now, and no one will get hurt."

"Otherwise..."

"You will all die!"

So cool!

At this moment.

Star feels that her grinding is worth it; once she gets her hands on the armor, she will definitely make March 7th incredibly envious.

As Star was thinking this.

A message came through again.

Seeing it was still Lin Qi, Star quickly gathered her focus to watch.

No choice.

This is a Big Boss; she must be attentive and hold onto his thigh tightly.

【Lin's Curios: Any interest in taking on the next task?】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Doctor! I'm the type of person who loves helping others. No matter how many tasks there are, you can safely leave them to me. I guarantee they will be completed successfully!】

A task?

Star's heart was filled with joy; she loves doing tasks the most.

Especially the tasks sent by Lin Qi, she loves them even more.

Because the rewards are too good.

And they are exactly what she wants.

However, seeing the message Lin Qi sent again, Star panicked a little.

【Lin's Curios: Loves helping others? Then if there's no reward, will you still take it?】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Well... Big Boss, no matter how much one loves helping others, one still has to eat...】

【Lin's Curios: I'm just teasing you.】

【Lin's Curios: Relax, as long as you complete the task with heart, I won't treat you unfairly.】

【Lin's Curios: You still remember Kafka, right?】

【Galaxy Baseballer: I remember. You might not believe this, but after I woke up at the space station, the first two people I could think of were you and Kafka. For a moment, I even thought you and she were my mom and dad! Hahaha~】

【Lin's Curios:...】

Seeing the reply, Lin Qi couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

Could he say that the upcoming task is related to this misunderstanding?

After thinking about it.

Lin Qi still felt it was better not to tell her.

Because with her flighty personality, if her memory wasn't sealed, the "script" probably wouldn't be able to continue.

So, it's better not to tell her everything.

【Lin's Curios: Kafka is here with me receiving treatment for her condition, but a small problem has arisen, and the progress is stuck. I need you to join in as a variable.】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Uh-huh, what should I do?】

【Lin's Curios: You don't need to do anything, just "take a nap." Because of the special nature of the experiment, your consciousness will enter a synesthetic dream, and your memory will be sealed. Once you wake up, the task will be completed.】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Is it that simple?】

Star felt a bit strange because the task was too simple.

According to Lin Qi, she only needed to sleep.

【Lin's Curios: I just simplified the treatment process. What? Do you want to hear a theory that wouldn't finish even after three days and three nights?】

【Galaxy Baseballer: No, no, I'm just curious why you chose me. This task should be something anyone could complete, right?】

【Lin's Curios: It has to be you; no one else will do.】

【Galaxy Baseballer: Really? Am I that special?】

【Lin's Curios:...】

Lin Qi was a bit speechless.

The Stellaron is inside her body; to people from other worlds, this is a walking bomb, and the kind that can overturn an entire civilization.

And she's actually asking if she's that special.

But even setting aside the Stellaron factor, this candidate truly had to be her.

Because she also holds a special significance for Kafka.

Anyway, as far as Lin Qi knows.

Kafka has invested quite a lot of energy into her.

So.

If one really had to find someone to play Kafka's "child," besides the Stellaron Essence, no one else could be found.

Others probably wouldn't have that effect.

In fact.

Lin Qi's initial idea was to find Silver Wolf.

But this idea only existed for an instant before Lin Qi cast it aside.

Although she is very familiar with Kafka, as a "child," activating the fear in Kafka's heart would still not be intense enough.

Taking a step back.

Even if Silver Wolf could, Silver Wolf herself probably couldn't play the part.
