After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Leng Ran stepped out of the cockpit and followed Instructor Ouyang onto the base's dedicated commuter vehicle.

After some time, the commuter vehicle entered the starship launch site and stopped in front of a giant door on the first floor of the base.

Leng Ran then realized their current location: "Mech warehouse? Instructor Ouyang, why did you bring me here?"

"Let me show you around." Instructor Ouyang walked to the giant gate, looked at the camera, and performed iris verification. "Anning, open the mecha warehouse."

An Ning: "Verification successful, warehouse open. Welcome, Major Ouyang."

The giant gate opened automatically to both sides, and tens of thousands of neatly arranged mechs of different models burst into Leng Ran's view.

Instructor Ouyang: "Come in."

This was Leng Ran's first time entering a mecha warehouse within a base. Following behind Instructor Ouyang, she looked around.

The mechs here are arranged on both sides according to their level and model, while the middle is a passageway for the mechs to enter and exit. There are optical projections above it, with different colors representing different mech levels.

White, green, blue, purple, and gold represent the beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, and marshal-level general-purpose mechs, respectively.

As for the higher-level King and God-level mechs, they only exist as custom-made mechs and are not uniformly stored in the mech warehouse.

The mech warehouse was empty at the moment, except for the logistics robots that were quickly moving among the mechs, carrying out maintenance and repair work.

In today's world, most logistical work can be done by artificial intelligence, so the number of logistical personnel in each base is very small.

Leng Ran watched as a robot pulled a wire from its head and connected it to the control panel inside the mech's cockpit. Countless data flashed on the display screen on its chest, allowing other support personnel to observe.

After the robot confirmed that there were no abnormal parameters, he left the cockpit and began to inspect the next mech.

It must be said that the emergence of artificial intelligence has greatly saved human labor and improved work efficiency.

In the interstellar age, the development speed of artificial intelligence is somewhat astonishing. Leng Ran often wonders, if artificial intelligence really develops its own thoughts, will it still choose to unconditionally obey human commands?

Instructor Ouyang's voice brought Leng Ran back to her senses: "Why don't you ask why I brought you here alone?"

Leng Ran snapped back to reality and looked at Instructor Ouyang: "If you want to tell me, you will naturally do so."

“You’re young but shrewd, so I’ll be blunt.” Instructor Ouyang stopped at the entrance to the green zone. “Your situation is pretty much what we instructors predicted. The training we’ve prepared for the freshmen is too easy for you.”

"I originally thought that since it was your first time in the mecha, you would need some time to adjust, but I underestimated your ability to adapt."

Leng Ran didn't respond, waiting for Instructor Ouyang to continue.

This level of freshman training was practically like a vacation for her. But judging from Instructor Ouyang's words, was he going to change her training content? Something more intense?

“Starting today, your training regimen needs to be changed.” Instructor Ouyang pointed to the intermediate guard behind him. “Go up and try it out first.”

Leng Ran used the ladder next to him to enter the cockpit, connected the sensors, and started the mecha.

This time, she could clearly feel that the pressure on her shoulders had increased by an order of magnitude, but it was still within an acceptable range and did not put too much strain on her body.

Instructor Ouyang below: "How are you feeling? If you feel overwhelmed, don't push yourself."

Leng Ran clenched her fist. She didn't feel any obvious discomfort, but the space here was too small to move around freely. So, she drove the guard onto the central aisle, jumped a few times, turned around, and did a somersault.

There are no problems.

Leng Ran then replied, "There shouldn't be any problem, but it's a pity this place is a bit small, and there's not much room to move around. Instructor, if you're worried, how about we play rock-paper-scissors? We can test our reaction speed again? If I win, how about you reduce my training load a bit?"

Instructor Ouyang gained a new understanding of Leng Ran's terrifying talent in mecha: "...Alright, stop playing around, get down and go to the advanced area."

"Oh." Leng Ran piloted the mecha back. "Really not going to play a round?"

Instructor Ouyang: "If you keep talking nonsense, the training volume will be doubled."

He shut his mouth and got out of the cockpit. He followed Instructor Ouyang to the advanced area of ​​the blue landmark and, as usual, chose an advanced ward.

Instructor Ouyang gave a special reminder: "Your physique has only recently reached level five, so piloting an advanced mecha might be a bit strenuous. If you can't hold on, be sure to exit sensor mode immediately!"

As soon as Leng Ran connected to the sensor device in the cockpit, she felt an invisible pressure pressing down on her, making her unable to move for a moment.

She suddenly understood why so many of the freshmen had collapsed; the overwhelming pressure was indeed making her feel terrible too.

"You can still stand? Not bad, Mo Li." Instructor Ouyang's eyes were full of admiration. "No need to rush, just hold on a little longer."

Inside the cockpit, Leng Ran gritted her teeth, trying her best not to fall. After a moment, her body seemed to gradually adapt to the pressure brought by the mecha, and Leng Ran suddenly found that she could move.

Seeing this, Leng Ran took a step forward steadily, walked into the aisle, and stood in front of Instructor Ouyang.

Leng Ran: "Instructor Ouyang, can I go play on the training field?"

"You adapted very quickly, Mo Li. Come and stand in this blue area."

Instructor Ouyang, who was sitting to the side watching Anning's live broadcast of the new students' situation, stood up, waved to a passing robot, and took a card from its hand.

"Transport us to Training Ground Two."

The robot replied truthfully, "Major Ouyang, the Nirvana Mech Regiment is currently training at Training Ground Two."

"Nirvana is here too. Are there any other training grounds available?"

Robot: "No. Because we just recruited a batch of new soldiers yesterday, and the various teams are working hard to get them used to each other."

Instructor Ouyang: "Then forget it, number two will do."

Robot: "Okay, the transport is about to begin."

Leng Ran saw a blue indicator light light up above the mech bay where the guard was located, and the floor tiles beneath her feet suddenly moved, carrying her to Training Ground No. 2.

It turns out that the area with the optically projected color is not simply a passageway for the mechs to enter and exit, but a conveyor belt that can quickly transport the mechs to their desired destination.

Instructor Ouyang stood beside the cold-faced guard and accompanied her to the training ground.

Leng Ran asked curiously, "Judging from the instructor's tone, do you know the Nirvana Mech Regiment?"

Instructor Ouyang: "The Nirvana Mech Regiment is an old combat regiment stationed on Anning Star. Their main force is composed entirely of master-level members, making them very powerful. Their most famous achievement is killing an S-class alien beast on the battlefield."

Leng Ran was taken aback: "The main team only has Master-level members, yet they killed an S-class alien beast that only a King-level mech could handle?"

The existing alien beasts can be divided into several levels according to their grades: E, D, C, B, A, A+, and S. However, the Spirit Eye and Dream Weaver that Leng Ran had seen before have already deviated from the evaluation standards of conventional alien beasts and can be classified as True God SSS level.

Among them, B-level and above alien beasts usually act as squad leaders in the beast tide, A-level are the commanders-in-chief and are few in number, while S-level are accompanied by mountains of corpses and seas of blood every time they appear, and they are beings that only a single King-level mech can kill.

In a one-on-one situation, the Federation classifies strength ratings as follows: D (Beginner), C (Intermediate), B (Advanced), A (Master), A+ (Marquis), S (King), and Incalculable (God).

This is why Leng Ran's killing of a C-level alien beast with his bare hands using the Eight Desolations technique caused such a sensation.

Instructor Ouyang continued, "In order to kill the suddenly appearing S-class alien beast, their team paid an extremely heavy price. The main force was almost completely wiped out, and the total number of casualties in the regiment reached 90%. At that time, they were just an ordinary numbered mecha regiment."

"Nirvana... that name was given after that battle. I hope they can be reborn like a phoenix."

After hearing the story of the Nirvana Mech Team, Leng Ran suddenly began to look forward to meeting such a legendary team.
