Chapter 259: Delighted to the utmost, Miss

"(SSS) Song of Fire and Steel: After undergoing the baptism of blazing fire and steel, you have comprehended the art of steel and blazing fire! From now on, your mecha will be just like you, no longer fearing any baptism of blazing fire! It can convert all thermal energy into a comprehensive boost for your mecha! And you will obtain the mecha-exclusive form 'Crimson Refined Vajra' (I will play the Song of Fire and Steel!)."

"I got the Crimson Refined Vajra form!"

"Zhang Jie could already imagine himself piloting a crimson mecha radiating heat all over, cutting down one little insect disaster with each slash."

"This feeling is great! By then, maybe I can also combine it with my own talent 'Flame Embodiment'?"

"Zhang Jie thought so, and sped up his absorption of stellar heat, all of which Yunxiao outside was watching."

'"118.... No, is Zhang Jie about to wake up?"'

"Yunxiao's eyes were full of anticipation, while at this moment Zhang Jie turned his gaze to his second talent reward."

"(S) Indestructible: Before the lifespan you gained from the simulator runs out, your probability of death is greatly reduced, your life will become extremely tenacious, and your resistance to various abnormal environments will greatly increase!"

"Hmm...."

"No wonder it's only S-rank; this effect feels not very good."

"Hiss.... Wrong!"

"Zhang Jie suddenly became alert, suddenly recalling the solitary watch during the final period of this simulation."

"The previously mentioned lifespan gained from cosmic heat death is still fine; worst case, if I don't want to live, I can just kick the bucket."

"And now with this Indestructible added, will I possibly get another solitary watch later?"

"Zhang Jie seriously suspects that, given how much trouble this simulator of his likes to cause, this is very likely to happen!"

'"Mr. Zhang Jie, who knows what the future holds; it\'s better not to make wild guesses."'

'"Hehe, why wouldn\'t I believe it?"'

"Also, this mark I obtained this time is said to grant the right to choose another ending; just hearing about it sounds suspicious."

'"You wouldn\'t want to knife me, would you?"'

'"(òωó?)"'

'"Nothing of the sort, hahaha...."'

'"Besides, you haven\'t been spared from knives either."'

"Zhang Jie:....."

"Now there's no escaping..."

'"Forget it, thinking about all this now is useless."'

'"I now want to see what this Crimson Refined Vajra is all about."'

"Zhang Jie recalled the huge mecha Vajra he previously piloted, its whole body burned red-hot, and he felt an itch in his heart."

"Through the scorching star, Zhang Jie could faintly see a small dot outside; that should be Yunxiao."

"I don't know how long she's been waiting."

"And now, this situation... To be honest, Zhang Jie hasn't figured out his opening line yet."

"After all, Yunxiao is not quite the same; she watched me grow up, and back then I was still a machine."

"Back then I was machinery, so I naturally didn't understand Yunxiao's thoughts, but now that the simulation has ended, Zhang Jie can see from past events that Yunxiao indeed has different feelings toward me."

"I hope it's familial affection...."

"Zhang Jie sighed; fortunately his talent also protected his clothes, otherwise going out bare-assed would be embarrassingly deadly."

'"Let\'s leave it at that for now."'

"Outside, Yunxiao had been waiting a long time; at this moment, a fireball rose from the blue giant star and slowly flew toward Yunxiao."

"She stared unblinking at that scorching fireball; the blazing light reflected in her clear eyes, and she actively added a highlight to it."

"Yunxiao suddenly recalled what she had seen about Zhang Jie during this boring period."

"The story of him throwing himself into the star left a deep mark in her heart; she still hasn't forgotten that story."

"At the same time, she also learned what happened between Zhang Jie and Lin Ran: first, a low-level employee of an interstellar company crashed his aircraft and suddenly got involved with the League Empress, directly becoming a deputy leader—does this indicate something?"

"Could Zhang Jie possibly remember me?"

"Yunxiao eagerly watched as that fireball gradually approached her, until it hovered before her eyes."

"Sometimes fate is this miraculous: a skin personally chosen by Yun Sheng for his old comrade-in-arms countless years ago now miraculously coincides with the person before her."

"Even exactly the same...."

"The two gazed at each other for a long time; in the end, it was Zhang Jie who first showed a smile."

'"Yunxiao, long time no see."'

"Zhang Jie's smile and the natural, warm smile Yunxiao saw when she last left 118 are exactly the same."

"However, Yunxiao did not rush into Zhang Jie's arms like a little girl."

"Instead, she merely reddened her eyes and lowered her head."

"She is no longer a child; she has grown up and is now a mature chief."

"But...."

"Yunxiao turned her head, wiped her tears with her arm, then turned back to Zhang Jie and flashed a brilliant smile."

'"Brother, long time no see."'

'"Would you... like to pilot a mecha together with me?"'

"Looking at Yunxiao's extremely eager appearance, Zhang Jie helplessly smiled, just as he had countless times before, and agreed to her request."

'"Delighted to the utmost, Miss."'

'"Not sis, you still haven\'t found any news about Zhang Jie?"'

"Liu Delie looked at Yu Xiaomo utterly speechless: 'You, such a big game company, looking for a person is this troublesome?'"

'"All that user data you have is for nothing? Or is it that your shares aren\'t attractive?"'

"Yu Xiaomo also had a black line across her face; well, that feeling of incompetence is back again."

Yu Xiaomo angrily slammed her small fists on the table; their game had already covered 90% of the civilizations in the universe, yet she couldn't believe that a civilization with such a massive Mecha legion had never played her game.

But in fact, such a huge Mecha civilization had appeared out of the blue, with no signs or information whatsoever, and Yu Xiaomo couldn't find them at all.

"Could it be some reclusive top-tier civilization?"

Yu Xiaomo could only think of that possibility; it couldn't be a bunch of natives who hadn't even made contact with the Star Sea, could it!

She, Yu Xiaomo, from the beginning till now, just damn hugged Zhang Jie once, and after that she's been sneaking around, only able to touch Zhang Jie's hand when lucky.

It's unbearable!

She swore she would first find Zhang Jie, then get everything that needed to be done done!!!

Thump thump thump, the knocking sounded, and the irritable Yu Xiaomo had no choice but to straighten her posture, lowering her voice as she spoke.

"Please come in."

A man in uniform walked into the office and looked at Yu Xiaomo sitting in the chair.

"President, the Alliance sent a message saying the person you're looking for has been found, saying you don't need to bother."

"The League Empress told me to deliver this message verbatim; I didn't add any embellishments."

"What!!!!!!"
