Everyone quickly looked up and saw Chen Yan, dressed in mecha, hanging motionless high in the air. They couldn't help but sigh, thank goodness she had stopped.

Then everyone looked at Gu Xixi, Chu Feng, and Elder Su with shock and anxiety.

After all, the three of them are the decision-makers here.

At first, Old Su thought Chen Yu was being impolite, asking how he could speak like that. But the next second, he looked up at the sky and let out a sharp bang, "Who told you to go up there? Huh! I didn't even give any instructions. How could you act on your own? Chen Yan, what exactly did you press?"

Chen Yan's trembling voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Teacher, what do we do now? It's so high! I'm so scared! Luckily it's not cold up there. What kind of material is this? The insulation is so good."

"Teacher, I already asked you." Chen Yan said, sounding aggrieved, but then became serious. "I pressed the escape function, and there are icons for up, down, left, and right controls. I pressed up to 1000 meters, and there's also a free-flight descent mode... Now, should I press the 'down' icon?"

Based on the current pattern, this should be possible.

"Wait, hang there for now. Let the people below take some precautions. Who knows how you'll fall down, or at what speed?" If you fall and die, today's accident would be a disaster.

Old Su was worried, shocked, and excited all at the same time.

Although this mecha is small, it is fully equipped and full of surprises. Many of its functions are still unknown, making it of great research value.

Medium and large mechs are even more unimaginable to him; he's already looking forward to meeting them.

Chen Yan hummed in agreement and then remained suspended in the air, looking like a large ornament.

Chen Yu and Xu Yue were taking pictures, believing that Chen Yan would definitely want the photos after she came down.

Gu Xixi clasped her hands together, praying, "Please, please, nothing bad should happen: [Brother Tongzi, if she falls, can you catch her?]"

[Only applicable to hosts with external protection mechanisms]

Oh yeah, I should have known better.

Who would have thought there would be a protection mechanism for her like this? It's truly comprehensive. Chen Yan is really going all out, for a paper, is it really worth it?

Chu Feng immediately arranged for people to prepare a fixed-point rescue air cushion, an anti-gravity net to catch people, and a mobile air cushion on the ground, ready to go.

After confirming, Su then communicated with Chen Yan, "Okay, press descent. If the descent value can be entered, try 999 meters."

"Okay." Chen Yan replied weakly, started pressing the buttons, selected the input value, and even found a descent speed option. Hmm, she decided to choose constant speed.

After making her selection, Chen Yan waited for a steady descent. The next second, the scene before her eyes plummeted, but she didn't feel weightlessness. She only felt it for the first second when the descent began, which was enough for her to gasp in surprise.

This mech actually calls this uniform speed?

In just five seconds, everyone saw Chen Yan, wearing a mecha, hovering in the air one meter above the ground, with a faint blue-white flame visible beneath her feet.

Similar to the flames produced by the burning of massive propellant fuel launched from a rocket booster.

But it didn't appear when it was rising, but it did appear when it was falling...

Old Su noticed this too. After observing for a moment and confirming that Chen Yan was unharmed, he suddenly became serious. "Go up again in a bit, you can also try the free flight mode..."

Now that Chen Yan felt more confident, she was no longer so afraid and nodded in agreement.

Gu Xixi wanted to say that she could also give it a try, but she swallowed the words back.

"Chu Feng, does it have thermal imaging observation and shooting capabilities?" Old Su asked, pointing to the video recorder responsible for recording the entire test. Even if it couldn't be seen with the naked eye before, perhaps it could be observed in other modes.

Chu Feng nodded, and several machines began to be adjusted.

After adjusting, Chen Yan soared into the sky again and began flying various distances in all directions. In less than ten minutes, Chen Yan had mastered how to control the mecha for free flight, flying short distances in the air.

"Teacher, this is so easy to operate, even simpler than the equipment in our institute. It's so much fun!" Chen Yan's tone had turned excited. "However, this small mecha only has close-range attack and flight escape functions. If it could also shoot from a distance, like a combination of Superman and a fighter jet, that would be awesome."

As Gu Xixi listened, she also began to look forward to other types of mechs.

Such a small mech is indeed suitable as a gift. Its attack power is not great, and it looks nice. Even in the event of a natural disaster, its speed and functions could actually save a life.

"It has a top speed of 180 kilometers per hour, enough to be used as an aircraft! There's still a lot we haven't figured out yet, Miss Gu. I was truly blind to its power earlier, and I apologize. So, could I take this mecha back to study it? I promise I won't dismantle it for you..."

Old Su clearly lacked confidence in the last half of his sentence; he just wanted to dismantle the mecha right now.

Gu Xixi could tell that this was a gift from Jade, and it wouldn't be good if she couldn't produce it when Jade asked...

"Mr. Su, I'm afraid I can't agree to that, and are you really not willing to dismantle it?" Gu Xixi refused. "Tomorrow, Emerald will send me some small, medium, and large mechs. Can you start researching them tomorrow?"

“Yes, you can dismantle it as you please then.” Chu Feng chimed in from the side, “Miss Gu’s things are private, and you’ll have to pay if you dismantle them. We don’t have enough funds. Some of the things we’ll be dismantling tomorrow belong to the state, so they’ll be free.”

As a veteran experimenter, Old Su understood this well. He suppressed his inner turmoil and nodded, smiling as he raised his phone, "Alright, Miss Gu, let's add each other as friends."

He even looked like he was afraid of being rejected.

Chen Yan and her junior brother Jiang Xu immediately followed suit, handing over their phones. Miss Gu, who got the mecha, is no ordinary powerful figure!

She also said that she graduated with a bachelor's degree, which is impossible; it must be a smokescreen to conceal her true identity.

Gu Xixi added them all as friends and gave them nicknames.

She glanced at Chu Feng, who then gestured, "Mr. Su, let's go to the office to discuss this in detail—about the mecha, about the jade, about Miss Gu, and about our project."

Old Su was now extremely eager to figure out what was going on, and immediately wanted to follow them.

Chen Yan chose to deactivate the defense mechanism and wear function, and the mecha instantly shrank and transformed back into a pendant. She handed it back to Gu Xixi, very reluctantly.

Chen Yu's eyes gleamed with greed, and he put his palms up, pleading, "Little boss, let me play with you, please."

Chen Mo was also watching intently from the side; he wanted to give it a try too. Many people present were watching and wanted to try as well.

Gu Xixi also wanted to try... so she looked at Chu Feng and said, "I won't be in any trouble. You forgot about the security mechanism I mentioned before? I just found out that this is included too."

"Ten minutes is the time limit." Chu Feng relented, and Old Su smiled shyly, "Hehe, then give me one minute too."

So, in the next three minutes, Gu Xixi learned how to operate the small mecha. The others—Professor Su, junior brother, Chen Yu, Chen Mo, Grandpa Chen, Xu Yue, and Chu Feng—each tried it out before the group left.

Back at the Fa Da Cai Supermarket, just as we arrived at the entrance, Old Xu rushed out.

He merely glanced at Old Su indifferently, "You've been arrested too, huh? Dream on. Gu Xixi, I've been looking for you for ages. Come with me, I have a surprise for you."
