Chapter 148: Gundam 00 Ends, Flowers Scatter

"I, Wang Liumei, voluntarily become Li Boyong's follower."

Enduring the shame, our belly-black loli, under Shihe's encouraging gaze, said the humiliating declaration.

This feeling, how should I put it?

It's a bit hard to describe...

If I had to compare it, it might be a bit like being encouraged by your closest relative to eat a mouthful of shit.

A very subtle metaphor, but that's roughly the feeling.

System: Congratulations, you have become Li Boyong's follower.

This kind of thing isn't happy at all...

Wang Liumei's mouth twitched, and then she realized that a line of text had suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

What is this situation?

She widened her eyes and looked at Shihe in surprise.

Looking at her somewhat cute reaction, Shihe could roughly understand some of her current thoughts; after all, she had had a similar experience back then.

"Shh, don't tell anyone."

Shihe blinked, then thanked Li Boyong, "Thanks, A-Yong."

"You're welcome; next is to find the captain and tell her," Li Boyong shrugged, "After all, I just told her Wang Liumei was staying."

Li Boyong connected to the bridge's communication.

"Did something happen?"

Sumeragi received the communication and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing major," Li Boyong said with a look of disdain and a bitter smile: "It's just that Wang Liumei, that girl, cried and shouted that she wanted to follow me, saying she was willing to be my maid, and I softened and agreed."

"I'm not following you; I'm following Sister Shihe, and I didn't say I wanted to be a maid!"

Wang Liumei protested loudly on the side.

Seeing Li Boyong tease the originally gloomy Wang Liumei into an intense emotional fluctuation in just a few sentences, Sumeragi showed a gratified smile: "That's fine, it seems more appropriate this way."

"OK, then let's hurry and set off," Li Boyong said, urging Shihe and Wang Liumei to get on the machine.

He took the Flag, while Shihe and Wang Liumei got on the Throne Gundam together.

After saying goodbye to the Ptolemaios members on the communication channel, the two MS left the Ptolemaios and gradually disappeared into the starry sky.

"Flag, Throne Gundam, reaction disappeared; they have left the current sector."

On the bridge, Christina reported to everyone, stretched, and complained: "Although he's a bit lecherous, that guy is unexpectedly a pretty good man."

"Indeed," Sumeragi replied.

"Eh, your taste has changed?" Lichtie, who had always been interested in Christina, showed a surprised expression, pointed at his own nose and asked Christina: "If that's the case, do I, who was once seen as his peer, have a chance?"

Looking at his expectant appearance, for some reason, Christina didn't refute him, but showed a thoughtful expression: "That depends on your performance."

"Really?" Hearing such a basically tacit answer, Lichtie was happy to death.

"I just said it's possible!"

"I will definitely work hard!"

"You're talking nonsense, hey!"

Looking at the two of them making a scene, Sumeragi showed a gratified expression again.

Young, just right!

On the other side, Lockon, after coming out of the Dynames Gundam, saw Felt waiting there holding Haro.

"What's wrong, staying here alone?" Lockon greeted.

"Wanted to talk to you," Felt was as concise as ever, and her face was still her usual plain appearance.

"Sure, it's my honor," Lockon laughed and tentatively reached out to block Felt's shoulder, "Let's go over there and talk."

"Mm," Felt was still plain-faced, obediently following Lockon, but this "Mm" had a slightly joyful meaning in it.

And Setsuna was in his room reading the suicide note he had written.

That was a suicide note written to Marina; there was no special content in the letter, just telling her his original intention for joining Celestial Being and his premonition that he might die in battle.

Originally, he had intended to give this suicide note to Marina when he went to Earth.

However, due to the change in plans, he didn't have the opportunity to send this suicide note.

Now, having successfully survived, it didn't seem appropriate for him to send this thing anymore.

Locking the suicide note in the drawer, Setsuna left the room and went to the infirmary.

There, he looked at the two Gundam Meisters who were injured but survived and showed a faint smile.

Ptolemaios, everyone survived, and they fully evacuated the sector.

And on the other side, Li Boyong and the others piloted their machines and left the Ptolemaios's detection range before the countdown ended.

"Why stop here?" Seeing the Flag and the Throne Gundam slowly stop, Wang Liumei asked suspiciously.

Also, what was that line of text in her field of vision just now?

System?

What kind of system can directly invade the human brain and retina?

But Wang Liumei didn't ask these questions directly, but waited for Shihe's answer with expectant eyes.

"This, the specific situation, actually I don't know too well either," Shihe faced the curious baby's gaze and asked Li Boyong for help with a bitter smile: "A-Yong, you explain it."

"So troublesome," Li Boyong muttered, then answered casually: "You'll know the specific situation later."

"What I want to tell you now is that from now on, you will truly become one of us, act with us, and experience some things you have never seen before."

"Weren't you once very keen on the transformation of the world?"

"In the upcoming journey, perhaps you will be able to see all kinds of transformations, and possibly encounter all kinds of dangers."

"But here, I promise you, dedicate your ability to me, and I will do my best to ensure your safety."

"This is a contract between you and me."

"Alright, time is almost up; I'll say this much for now."

Five, four, three, two, one.

Li Boyong's field of vision darkened, and he lost consciousness.

System: Congratulations to the host for surviving and completing the world—Gundam 00 (Part 1), and successfully unlocking Gundam 00 (Part 2).

System: Detected the host's two followers.

System: Detected that the host's intermediate mecha combat system development rate is below 50%.

System: System assessment, upgrade failed.

For some reason, this time Li Boyong didn't completely lose consciousness in this boundless darkness.

He couldn't see anything, couldn't touch anything, and couldn't even take any action.

But at least he heard the system's voice.

Unlike when he finished the CE Century before, where he lost consciousness directly and then arrived in the Gundam 00 world.

This progress perhaps meant that when he experienced more worlds and survived, he might have a chance to understand the face of the system on him better.

System: Next world is being randomly selected.

System: The random selection result is Full Metal Panic.

System: Starting to enter the world.

System: Deploying host.

System: Deploying followers.

System: Detected follower Wang Liumei's skill "Born Noble," increasing initial deployment items.

With a violent light dispelling the darkness, Li Boyong regained his consciousness.

He opened his eyes, and what came into view was the sky full of wind and sand, and the barren land under his feet. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
