Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

Chapter 348: The Useless Lady vs. the Federal General 1

Quan Jiuxi opened his eyes again and found that the place he was in was neither the familiar modern one nor the ancient and simple charm of the past.

Looking up, I saw that the dome of the training ground was made up of tens of thousands of transparent energy panels. The sunlight refracted through the energy panels, emitting a pale golden halo, illuminating the ground as bright as day.

[Sir, you are in the interstellar world. This world was the end of the Earth thousands of years ago. Humans have moved to other planets. Technology has improved so much that humans use mechas when they go out.

But there are also dangers, that is the Zerg, they look strange, but their attack power is very high. 】

Xiaoyi's voice sounded in Quan Jiuxi's mind.

While listening to Xiaoyi's words, Quan Jiuxi felt his surroundings.

Wow, in this world, her spiritual awareness can actually cover the entire small world.

This also proves that in this world, her divine power can be fully utilized.

She could even "see" the giant cargo ships shuttling back and forth on the interstellar routes outside the planet. The energy shields mounted on the ships were flashing with a lavender light. They were the last line of defense against meteorites and interstellar pirates.

Xiaoyi obviously didn't know about Quan Jiuxi's change, and frowned with a worried look on his face.

Although it is more advanced than the main brain that everyone has in this world, this is interstellar after all, and it is quite dangerous.

"Plot." Quan Jiuxi said in a calm voice.

[Yes, you are the eldest daughter of the Quan family. The Quan family is one of the most powerful families in the Federation. The research and development of mechas has been the core of their business for generations. The subsidiary Quan Heavy Industry controls 30% of the Federation's mecha production lines. From civilian mechas to military heavy combat mechas, they are all branded with the Quan family's unique star pattern forging technology.

But you are a rare exception in the Quan family—your mental strength tested at birth was only D-level, unable to even activate the most basic civilian mecha, and the entire federation dubbed you "the useless young lady."

Xiaoyi's electronic voice was somewhat solemn, and a virtual image unfolded a holographic projection in the air, showing exactly what the original owner had done:

You are the typical vicious cannon fodder in the original plot. You rely on your family's power to run rampant in the military academy, never bringing textbooks to class, smashing the mecha control cabin like a toy, and burning the training simulation system three times, but you can avoid punishment because of your family connections.

The protagonist, Wen Zhan, comes from the abandoned mining planet "Gray Feather" in the Seventh Star Region. His parents died in a Zerg raid, and he saves enough money for tuition by scavenging mecha wreckage to piece together parts. However, he possesses a rare SS-level psychic talent, which is masked by his impoverished environment.

The projection screen switched, and a girl in a pink uniform appeared.

[The heroine Tang Qing is the only pharmacy genius of this generation in the Tang family. It is said that she can prepare primary physical potions at the age of 5.

The Tang family is a member of the Federal Pharmacy Association and holds the core formula of military first aid medicine. Tang Qing is even hailed as the "Pearl of the Stars".

In the original plot, you and she were the open control group at the military academy—when she won the gold medal in the potion competition, you were smashing the mecha training cabin;

When she was following the medical team to support the front, you flirted with the instructor at the dance;

While she and Wen Zhan were cooperating well in the simulated battle, you were hiring someone to fill Wen Zhan's mecha tank with low-quality fuel.]

The holographic image suddenly froze on an interstellar newspaper. The headline was written in glaring red font: "The eldest daughter of the Quan family maliciously damaged the military water tank, resulting in the interruption of supply to the third line of defense. The Zerg broke through the line of defense and caused 732 casualties."

[This was the fuse that led to the original owner's final outcome.]

Because you were jealous of Tang Qing receiving the 'Federal Youth Medal', you deliberately destroyed the front-line supplies and were sentenced to life imprisonment by the military court. The Quan family's stock price plummeted, and you were forced to hand over 30% of the mecha production line to preserve the family foundation.

Wen Zhan and Tang Qing, one becoming the youngest mecha commander in the Federation and the other developing a drug to fight against Zerg toxins, are known as the "Interstellar Twins."

Xiaoyi put away the projection, his transparent face full of worry:

[What's even more troublesome is that the original owner had just placed a micro-bomb in Wen Zhan's mecha core three days ago. According to the plot, it will be detonated during the practical class this afternoon. At that time, you will pretend to be concerned, but in fact put the blame on Tang Qing, but you will be caught red-handed by the surveillance camera...]

The arrogant and distorted face of the original owner in the holographic projection had not yet disappeared. Quan Jiuxi raised his eyes and looked towards the mecha hangar on the east side of the training ground. His spiritual sense had already penetrated the three layers of alloy doors and accurately locked onto the shabby mecha numbered "Reverberation" - it was Wen Zhan's vehicle.

Sure enough, a silver bomb the size of a fingernail was stuck in the gap of the wiring in the core module of the mecha, and the timer was beating with bright red numbers: 03:47:21.

"Heh." Quan Jiuxi chuckled, his voice icy, "Idiot."

The original owner didn't even hide the bomb's detonator properly. The sensor embedded in the energy line interface would be triggered as long as the mental power fluctuation exceeded level B when the mecha was started.

Wouldn’t Wen Zhan’s concealed SS-level talent become a death warrant?

[Sir, it's still not too late to defuse the bomb! I can hack into the surveillance system and create a blind spot...] Xiaoyi was so anxious that he was spinning around, his transparent fingers jumping rapidly on the virtual keyboard.

Quan Jiuxi had already started walking, and the sound of his military boots stepping on the metal floor startled the mechanical bird perched outside the window.

"No need." She walked towards the mecha hangar, her back as straight as a pine tree. "Since I planted this 'surprise', it's natural for me to retrieve it myself."

When the access control system of the mecha hangar recognized the identity of "Quan Jiuxi", it issued a shrill alarm - the original owner had set fire to three training mechas here three months ago, and the system automatically listed her as a high-risk person.

Quan Jiuxi was too lazy to talk nonsense. A trace of imperceptible divine power popped out from his fingertips, like a thin needle piercing into the interface of the identifier. The alarm stopped abruptly and the alloy door slid open silently.

A strong smell of engine oil hit me in the face, and dozens of mechas stood silently in the shadows. Only the "reverberation" in the corner revealed a sense of dilapidated stubbornness.

This mecha was obviously pieced together with parts of different models. The left arm was the old-fashioned "Iron Wall" series of defensive armor, while the right leg was equipped with the latest "Wind Walker" thrusters. The welds at the joints were crooked, but extremely strong.

Quan Jiuxi walked to the foot of the mecha and looked up at the cockpit.

Wen Zhan didn't know when she came. He was lying on the mecha's shoulder armor to inspect the energy tube. When he heard the noise, he turned around suddenly.

When he saw it was her, his pupils suddenly contracted and his whole body tensed up like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "What are you doing here?"

The boy's cuffs were still stained with black oil, beads of sweat were on his forehead, and the wrench in his hand was so tight that it turned white.

Quan Jiuxi noticed that his other hand was hidden behind his back, and it was bulging, as if he was holding something - he knew with his spiritual sense that it was half a dry and hard nutrition bar, probably his lunch today.

"Your mecha," Quan Jiuxi raised his head and spoke, his voice clearly transmitted through the roar of the mecha, "there is something in the core module."

Wen Zhan's expression suddenly changed.

He discovered something was wrong with the wiring when he was inspecting it yesterday, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Being pointed out by Quan Jiuxi at this moment, a trace of panic flashed across the boy's eyes, but he stiffened his neck and refused to show weakness: "You don't need to pretend to be kind."

Quan Jiuxi didn't waste any more words. She tapped the ground lightly with her toes and leaped up like a willow catkin. She used the rusted hull of the mecha for leverage and landed at the cockpit door in an instant.

The index finger of his right hand pressed against the hatch interface, and divine power spread along his fingertips, wrapping around the bomb like a gentle stream of water, turning the timer back to zero little by little, and with a light twist, the bomb that was enough to blow up half of the mecha hangar turned into powder and fell to the ground through the gaps between his fingers.

The whole process took only three seconds, so fast that Wen Zhan thought it was an illusion.

Until he saw the silver powder falling from Quan Jiuxi's fingertips and an energy crystal she casually threw over - a star core fragment with a purity of up to 99%, emitting a soft blue light in the dim mecha hangar.

"This is..." Wen Zhan took it subconsciously, his fingertips trembling from the heat of the crystal. This level of energy crystal was enough to cover his tuition for half a year.

"I'll compensate you." Quan Jiuxi turned around and jumped off the mecha, his military boots making a crisp sound as they stepped on the broken iron chips.

Wen Zhan looked at her back and suddenly remembered that three days ago at the scrap yard, the original owner was laughing while stepping on the energy plate he had just repaired. She had the same arrogant attitude, but she lacked the calmness in her eyes that was as deep as the abyss.

Besides, isn’t Quan Jiuxi a well-known loser?

Her actions just now...

He asked in a mysterious way: "What do you want to do?"

Quan Jiuxi paused and left.
