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

That night, Star Wars.

Leng Ran logged in on time and, led by Gao Xiao, arrived at his secret research base.

Although it's called a secret base, it's actually a space that Star Wars created specifically for the mech designers. It's their own private space, containing basic equipment for designing and building mechs and weapons, as well as simulation equipment for testing mech performance.

Of course, the designers themselves had to obtain the various materials needed to create these devices. Since they lacked combat capabilities, most mech designers would choose to join a team and obtain experimental materials by helping their teammates complete missions.

Although Gao Xiao usually appears to be a carefree person, his research laboratory is very clean and tidy, with everything arranged in an orderly manner, showing that he has indeed put a lot of thought into it.

"Ah Li, over here!" Gao Xiao led Leng Ran to a weapon stand and opened the two boxes on it. "This is my latest weapon creation, the Yin Yang Orb!"

Inside the two boxes, one contained a dozen or so small black balls, and the other contained a dozen or so small white balls. In addition, there were two pistols on the table.

Leng Ran's pupils widened in shock. This was clearly one of the weapons that Snow Wolf had used in the apocalypse, and it was actually made by Gao Xiao!

"Your ball, could it be that if two of them collide, they'll explode violently, comparable to the strike of the heavy weapon 'Sky Cloud'?"

Gao Xiao asked in surprise, "Ali, how did you know?"

Leng Ran: "I just guessed, is that really true?"

Gao Xiao chuckled: "That's right! These two pistols can be equipped with Yin or Yang spheres and fired, but unfortunately the range is still relatively limited, otherwise they could really rival Tianyun."

"Of course, the Yin-Yang Spheres can also be used for ambushes. When you throw just one of the spheres, it won't cause any chemical reaction. But if you fire a Yang Sphere while the Yin Sphere is rolling to the enemy's feet... I guarantee that any mech below level four will be blown up on the spot."

Leng Ran nodded with deep feeling; she had witnessed the explosive power of this thing firsthand. Just two pairs of Yin-Yang spheres had blasted down the ground of the Four Seasons Shopping Center, reaching right up to the lair of the skeletal zombie beast.

Possessing terrifying explosive power, yet lacking the long charging time of conventional heavy weapons and a clearly visible trajectory, this pair of Yin-Yang spheres can be considered high-end.

Gao Xiao continued, "I won't go into the benefits with you, Ali, but the drawbacks of this thing are also obvious."

"First of all, although it can create a surprise explosion, it requires a high level of accuracy from the user's pistol. The two balls must be very close together to explode; they won't explode if they are even a centimeter apart. That's why I said this weapon is really suitable for Ali."

"Secondly, the core materials for making it—Black Night Ore and White Night Ore—are extremely rare and difficult to obtain, so they cannot be mass-produced. The fifteen spheres in the box are all we have right now."

Leng Ran continued, "So, in other words, it can no longer be modified into a weapon for mechas, and can only be used by humans?"

Gao Xiao nodded: "Yeah. Nowadays, mecha weapons are basically just ordinary combat weapons enlarged and their power increased before being mounted on mechas. The guns for the Yin-Yang Spheres are easy to get, but as for the spheres themselves, I don't have the materials to make any more."

"If the Yin-Yang Sphere could really be used in the proportion of a mecha, I feel that even a level seven mecha could be blown up on the spot!"

He gasped in shock. A Level 7 in Star Wars was roughly equivalent to a Marquis-level mech in reality. If it could really kill a Level 7 mech instantly, that would be terrifying.

Gao Xiao handed the gun and the two boxes to Leng Ran: "Here, Ali, these are for you. Make good use of them."

Leng Ran coldly added them all to his inventory: "No problem!"

Gao Xiao: "Then let me introduce some other mech parts. In Star Wars map competitions, only on-site modification of mechs is allowed, but this time all parts are available, so we don't need to use our own parts."

Leng Ran followed along and took a look around. Gao Xiao's mecha did indeed have a lot of accessories, including automatic aiming, increased jumping ability, increased defense, reduced energy consumption, and other auxiliary accessories. But what interested Leng Ran the most was a decorative accessory: a small fireworks launcher.

The fireworks launcher itself is very small and looks like a mushroom. Around the fireworks launch port at the top is a ring of metal thrusters that accelerate the fireworks.

Typically, this accessory is attached to the head of the mech, making it look like a mushroom sprouting from its head from a distance. Furthermore, fireworks themselves have no destructive power, so this accessory is primarily used in mech performances during celebrations.

However, the more secure something appears, the more likely the enemy is to underestimate it, thus achieving a surprise attack.

Leng Ran took the accessory in her hands, which were just the right size to hold in both.

She had a sudden inspiration: "Gao Xiao, will this accessory be provided during the competition?"

Gao Xiao was dumbfounded: "Yes, it exists, but what can it do? Create an atmosphere?"

"Of course, it's for celebrating our victory." He smiled coldly. "Only by combining reality with illusion and illusion with reality can we better confuse our opponents."

She whispered her idea to Gao Xiao, whose eyes lit up: "Maybe it really works! I'll look into it tonight and show you the finished product tomorrow!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Xiao decisively closed the door to visitors and was automatically teleported out of his secret base, returning to his mecha warehouse.

Compared to Gao Xiao's luxurious research and development lab, the cold and imposing mech warehouse appeared extremely rudimentary. Inside the silver-white warehouse were only two solitary mechs: the Level 2 Chaser and the Level 1 Falcon. In the real world, even the lowest-level basic mech could be equivalent to a Level 3 mech in Star Wars.

Based on Leng Ran's current physical level, she is fully capable of piloting a level 6 mech from Star Wars, but the one million points required to upgrade the mech to level 6 is simply too much for her to handle.

Leng Ran glanced at the points on his account. He only had 1,000 points, a reward for winning the Sky Battlefield, which was barely enough to level up Chasing Life to level three.

However, level 3 mechs can be used in arena battles, and the points earned are quite substantial. Each victory grants 100 points, and consecutive victories will provide additional points. For level 3 mechs, a five-win streak will grant an extra 500 points, a ten-win streak an extra 1000 points, and so on.

Reaching level four requires 10,000 points, so she only needs 25 consecutive wins to reach level four. If a level four mech participates in the arena, the winning streak reward will start from the beginning, and each victory will grant a reward of 1,000 points!

Therefore, it can be deduced that she only needs seventy-five matches to advance from level three to level six.

As for losing and ending her winning streak, resulting in a point deduction? That's really not something she's considering.

Leng Ran acted immediately. He went into the mech shop, used his points to upgrade Zhui Ming to level three, then logged into the upgraded Zhui Ming and opened the arena matchmaking interface to start a random match.

"Silver Moon Warrior, your current Arena Rank is: , Arena Level: Three. Matching you with an opponent... Match successful, you will soon enter the arena area."
