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

Just as Leng Ran turned off the Illuminati's quantum computer, Yang Guang's voice rang out.

"Your Highness, we have received a communication request from Zhao Fox."

Leng Ran was in a pretty good mood. Although she was injured, she felt a little excited when she thought about the space jump device in the hands of the other shore flower.

It's a great tool for killing thieves, robbing, and escaping—no, it's great equipment for carrying out missions.

"Connect me, Yangon!"

Yangon activated the projection mode, and Zhao Lesong's face appeared in front of Leng Ran.

"I've reviewed your action log. Mo Li, how are your injuries?" Zhao Lesong's tone was tinged with concern, which earned him a cold and surprised look.

"Boss, when did you start caring about people?"

Zhao Lesong smiled and looked at Leng Ran: "I do occasionally show consideration for my subordinates."

The experienced Leng Ran smiled and looked back: "Boss, instead of these empty words, let's get down to business. Considering I successfully completed the mission and got injured, how about giving me a mission reward?"

Zhao Lesong raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it?"

Leng Ran: "I need a Level 6 smart chip for Yangon."

Zhao Lesong thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Consider it a consolation prize for your near-heroic sacrifice this time."

He gave a cold snort: "I'd be happier if you removed the second half of the sentence."

"Just focus on recovering these next few days. I'll grant Yangon Level 6 chip access and let you know where to upgrade later."

"No problem!" Leng Ran was genuinely happy this time.

I got a few extra days off, Yangon can be upgraded, and the space jump device has been found.

Leng Ran took two sips of strawberry milk, sprawled on the soft bed, and opened the StarNet to start surfing the web.

"Cough cough..." Leng Ran almost spat out her milk when she saw the trending topic on the headline; she was choked.

Shocking! The person who blew up the Storm Star Dragon Sky Group building was actually Meng 0!

With a trembling hand, I clicked on the link. The first thing I saw was a blurry video of an eyewitness account.

The clip comes from a group of children who were stargazing at night. Their night-viewing drone happened to capture Leng Ran.

In the video, Leng Ran flies high into the air, throws a miniature bomb into the building, and then jumps inside. The building bursts into golden light, and a few minutes later, a violent explosion is heard, and the building begins to collapse.

Then, here is an excerpt from Baofeng Media's interview with An Liu today.

An Liu in the video says: "You mean the muscular guy? He's not a terrorist."

“He is Ling (0)... um—”

[First Floor]: Wow, this thing can fly, glow, and blow up buildings! I'd love to see it.

[Second Floor]: Isn't this An Liu, a senior from the fourth year of Storm Military Academy? I saw him in the Military Academy League!

[Third Floor]: Wow! Could it be...too exciting!

[Fourth Floor]: Um... could it be, Ling Yunjun?

[Fifth Floor]: Lingyun Army would come to this place to chase after the Blood Scale Disease madman? And even blow up the building? Who would believe that? Waiting for the Ninth Military Region's response.

Leng Ran: ...I really didn't blow it up! It was a spider lily!

After reading a string of comments, Leng Ran took a deep breath to calm himself down, his lips twitching.

Her Lingyun military vest seems to have been temporarily preserved in a strange way.

------------

Early the next morning.

The Ninth Military Region held a press conference regarding a series of changes that occurred in the Fourth District.

What reporters were particularly interested in was the identity of the mysterious person in the video revealed by the eyewitness.

"Major General Wang, is the mysterious person in the video circulating online yesterday a member of the Lingyun Army? Did they blow up the Longtian Group building?"

Wang Chang responded: "Lingyun Army did not participate in the operation. The building was detonated during a firefight between our soldiers and terrorists."

"Regarding the inappropriate remarks made by An, a student from Baofeng Military Academy, the military region has punished him and required him to issue a public apology."

An Liu, looking utterly dejected, was pushed forward: "I apologize! I reflect on my actions! I shouldn't have exposed my personal privacy!"

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Confirmed! A dominant 0!"

"I knew Lingyun Army wouldn't come."

"Senior Anliu: The Domineering and Fierce Bottom Falls in Love with Me!"

Leng Ran, who was watching TV, was thus given the nickname "fierce zero".

I turned off the TV calmly, out of sight, out of mind.

That's it for now, go to bed first.

Just as Leng Ran was lying on the bed, closing her eyes and wanting to take a nap, He Xiting's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Ah Li! My dear little brother! Big brother will take you on a mission today!"

Leng Ran was then pulled out by He Xiting and taken to the training room outside the room.

"Ah Li, how was your first time riding a mech?" He Xiting asked excitedly. "When you leave the newbie camp, you have to tell your brother! I'll take you to meet your teammates and we can form a team together!"

"Brother Ting, I've already completed the beginner's camp."

"So fast?" He Xiting was shocked at first, but then quickly accepted the fact. "Ali, I knew you would be fine! I'll take you on a mission tomorrow, so you can level up to level two mechs very quickly!"

"Um, I did a quest while I was at it..." I'm already level two.

"Oh? That's perfect, I'll do a mission with my brother today!"

"Okay..." Leng Ran ultimately didn't say the rest of the sentence.

"Oh right, I'll show you something!"

He Xiting handed Leng Ran a bottle of strawberry milk, then turned on the computer's screen projection function. After carefully reviewing the video content, Leng Ran was almost killed by the milk again.

This is a top-down video of Leng Ran breaking through in the close combat zone!

"Ah Li, I saw on the Star Wars forum a few days ago that a master player named Chasing Life appeared in the newbie camp. I wonder if you went to see his clear record in person."

"No." Of course, she had no way of watching her own progress.

"That's perfect. Let's take a look together. There are also some explanatory videos made by bloggers on StarNet that we can learn from."

He Xiting opened a video commentary by a blogger named Zifeiyu, which had over ten million views.

Leng Ran was also curious about how these professionals would comment, so the two of them watched it together.

"Good evening, everyone watching on screen. I'm your old friend Zifeiyu. In this episode, I'll be providing commentary on the wildly popular 'Chasing Life Master's Breakthrough Battle'."

"The pilot of the Chasing Life chose a one-handed short dagger, which does not consume energy, as a weapon, a wise choice. The short dagger also fits the characteristics of the Chasing Life mech very well, and the pilot's daily dagger training should be very thorough."

He nodded in approval.

"...A clean and swift fatal blow. The driver is very adept at finding gaps in the defenses and delivering a clean and swift strike to the attacker while dodging the attack, killing them instantly."

"...With no breakthrough point and completely surrounded, he decisively traded injury for life, tearing an opening to break through the encirclement."

"...In reality, the basic skill of an intermediate mech pilot is: irregular flashing. Unfortunately, this move puts too much strain on the trainee mech, causing severe damage, so it's not worth it. The pilot probably lacks experience in this area."

"...Faced with the sudden appearance of the energy cannon, I chose to use my hand blade to throw a dagger to sever the energy core, which was a very fast reaction. Some people asked why I didn't continue to use the Irregular Flash. This is because the mech was too badly damaged. If I forced it to be used, the mech would naturally disintegrate before entering the safe zone."

Regarding this suddenly appearing energy cannon, the official Star Wars explanation is: it is a reasonable improvement based on feedback from previous players. The rules can be changed, so adventurers must not let their guard down at any time.

"The driver of the Chasing Life was very lucky. Although he failed to penetrate the energy center, he slowed down its power accumulation speed and gained valuable time to cross the finish line."

"Overall, the Chaser pilot's combat style is very distinctive. It should be a unique fighting style that he has developed through long-term training. His proficiency is beyond that of a novice. He has brought the Chaser assassin-type mech to its fullest potential. His keen insight, ruthless methods, and decisive decisions are all commendable."

"If this video gets over 500,000 likes, we'll continue with other walkthrough videos for this 'Chasing Death' pilot. I'm Zifeiyu, follow me to learn more mech piloting skills!"

He Xiting silently gave a thumbs up, then looked at Leng Ran who was still drinking milk, "Ali, this person and you both use daggers, what do you think?"

"It's alright... but forcibly using skills beyond one's level is too unwise. There are actually better ways to break through with less damage." Leng Ran said honestly. She didn't know the outcome of doing so; she just had an itch to try it out, thinking of the demonstration in the tutorial.

“Breaking through head-on is possible, we might get injured, but it’s definitely better than falling apart.” He Xiting agreed. “Come on, let’s go do the mission! I have to introduce you to the other teammates today!”

Leng Ran: "How shall we meet?"

He Xiting looked at Leng Ran with feigned mystery: "I have a way, I guarantee you'll be able to find me!"
