Chapter 228 - First Battle Victory (Second Update)

The first time, Xia Chujian could only jump one meter high.

But after that sparring robot showed her how to exert force, and how to coordinate the various parts of her body, she was able to jump one and a half meters on her second try!

Not only was Meng Guanghui impressed, but even the sparring robot she called "Xia Yi" gave her a mechanical thumbs up.

However, it took her a full six hours to improve from one and a half meters to two meters two.

She tirelessly worked with the sparring robot, running, jumping, and then exerting force, leaping! Over and over again, tirelessly.

She didn't find the monotonous repetition boring at all. Instead, with each jump, she felt the coordination and cooperation of her body, and even felt that her body was much lighter.

Xia Yuanfang observed her for a while, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart.

If Xia Chujian could apply this kind of patience to her studies, how could her grades be so bad…

She, Si Xi, and Wu Fu only watched the first half hour of training, and then they didn't want to watch anymore.

They returned to the lounge. Wu Fu played with his toys alone, and Si Xi wandered around. As a Small Dog, the robots in the Special Security Bureau were used to it.

Xia Yuanfang, on the other hand, was seizing the time to read documents.

Xia Chujian only returned to the lounge once all day, had lunch with her family, rested for half an hour, and then returned to the training ground.

Her efforts were not in vain, and her sweat was not shed in vain.

After six hours of training, she really went from only being able to jump one meter to two meters two!

By three o'clock in the afternoon, she was able to easily jump into the cockpit in the chest of that mechanical mecha.

When she stomped her feet with a smile in the two-meter-high cockpit of the mechanical mecha, the action was so infectious that Meng Guanghui couldn't help but stomp his feet as well.

Then, the sparring robot also stomped its feet, and even all the standing robots in the robot warehouse next to the hall began to stomp their feet.

*Dong! Dong! Dong!* The entire training hall was about to resonate.

It was the Small Dog Si Xi's cry of "Wu Er Fu" and a few random jumps that broke the terrifying *dong dong* sound that was approaching the resonant frequency.

Xia Yuanfang didn't know what was going on. Holding Wu Fu, she walked towards the training hall.

Si Xi trotted along beside Xia Yuanfang, its short legs running haphazardly.

When they stood at the entrance of the training hall, Xia Chujian and the others had already stopped stomping their feet.

Meng Guanghui's recorder had completely recorded the scene just now.

Xia Chujian stood at the entrance of the mecha's cockpit and saw Xia Yuanfang, Wu Fu, and Si Xi.

She waved her hand and said loudly, "Aunt! Si Xi! Wu Fu! I can jump in!"

As she spoke, she jumped down, and after landing on the ground, she turned around, took two steps back, and started running again.

Her slender and athletic body was instantly in a strange rhythm. With her knees slightly bent, her legs burst out with great force, and her whole body soared into the air, leaping into the cockpit in the chest of the mechanical mecha in the blink of an eye.

After standing still, she turned around and waved to Xia Yuanfang, saying, "Aunt! Look! I jumped in!"

Xia Yuanfang praised her with a smile, "Chujian is really amazing! I knew it wouldn't be difficult for you! If you could put this patience into your studies…"

Xia Chujian immediately let out an exaggerated burst of laughter, stopping Xia Yuanfang from continuing.

Xia Yuanfang understood and smiled without saying a word.

Wu Fu clapped his little hands and smiled like a little flower.

The Small Dog Si Xi also jumped up and down, wishing he could jump in with Xia Chujian.

Xia Chujian looked back at the control cabin and asked Meng Guanghui, "Can I start learning how to pilot this mecha next week?"

Meng Guanghui said, "You can learn now if you want."

But it was already past three o'clock, and by the time they got home, it would be four o'clock.

The sky no longer turned completely dark by four o'clock, but dusk was falling, and it was much darker than during the day.

Xia Yuanfang felt that her family was all women and children (and a dog), so it was best to go home before dark.

Therefore, she said gently, "Let's wait until next week. It's getting late. If we go out now, we can still catch the next Suspension Train."

Meng Guanghui didn't insist, and said, "Then see you next week."

After Xia Chujian and Xia Yuanfang left, Meng Guanghui sent the video from earlier to Huo Yushen.

[Meng Guanghui]: Marshal Huo, it's such a pity about this Xia Chujian. If she were a Gene Evolver, that would be perfect!

On Beichen Star, it was a little after 3:00 AM. Meng Guanghui thought Huo Yushen would still be sleeping at this hour.

But Huo Yushen replied to him five minutes later.

[Huo Yushen]: Is this her first training? Not bad. In the future, use mechanical mecha so she can experience the application of power.

[Huo Yushen]: If she were a Gene Evolver, you should be crying.

Meng Guanghui was extremely excited to see the reply.

[Meng Guanghui]: Marshal Huo, you're still not asleep so late?! Are you working overtime again? Huo Yushen: "..."

He wasn't asleep at 3:00 AM, of course he was working overtime, what else would he be doing?

Huo Yushen was too lazy to bother with him, stopped replying, and continued reading the reports from his subordinates regarding the great purge of the Royal Family Guard, the Inner Guard, and the Hidden Guard.

Meng Guanghui waited for a while, and seeing that Huo Yushen wasn't responding, he assumed he had fallen asleep, and closed the chat window.

...

By the following Saturday, Xia Yuanfang was relieved and decided not to go.

She said to Xia Chujian, "Chujian, it's too inconvenient for us to bring the whole family. Besides, today I plan to take Si Xi and Wu Fu to see San Zong, Aunt Chen, and Yingying outside the city. You go to training by yourself."

Xia Chujian was happy that her aunt finally trusted her and gave her more freedom, but also sad that she couldn't go outside the city to see her land.

When she was about to leave in the morning, she kept chattering.

"Aunt, remember to take videos, I want to see the progress over there."

"They said last time that it would be done in four weeks, and a week has already passed, so at least a quarter should be done, right?"

"Aunt, also, about building the house, see what you think of the Bai Li Family, if we can use them..."

"Aunt, remember to bring something for San Zong. I bought him a few sets of clothes on the Star Network, all for spring and summer. And shoes, he doesn't seem used to wearing shoes..."

Small Si Xi heard the name "San Zong" and quickly jumped up, calling "Wu Er Fu, Wu Er Fu."

Xia Chujian picked it up, cuddled it, and said, "Si Xi, do you miss San Zong? Don't worry, once we build the house there, we'll all move over!"

Anyway, she would take the National Higher Education Entrance Examination in the summer, and after that, she wouldn't need to live in that small house in the city every day.

Wu Fu followed over, circling around Xia Chujian, also wanting her to hold him, but he was too shy to say it.

Xia Chujian noticed, picked him up as well, and kept giving instructions, until Xia Yuanfang found her annoying.

"Hurry up and go, don't be late for training." Xia Yuanfang pushed her out the door.

Xia Chujian bared her teeth and turned to leave.

She walked to the elevator door and ran into Mr. Yu, the neighbor across the hall, who was walking his dog.

Mr. Yu smiled and said, "Chujian, are you going to tutoring?"

Xia Chujian was carrying a backpack, about the size of a schoolbag.

Going out at this time on the weekend, and being a senior in high school, it was easy to misunderstand.

Xia Chujian neither admitted nor denied it, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yu, are you walking the dog again? Where's Wang You?"

Mr. Yu said proudly, "Our Wang You is very fond of studying. She got up early in the morning and has already done two sets of test papers."

Xia Chujian: "..."

She suddenly felt a little awkward.

She forced a smile, walked into the elevator alone, and headed to the Special Security Bureau's Mulan City branch.

...

She came alone today.

When Meng Guanghui saw her walk in, he subconsciously looked behind her, but didn't see the large group of "family" from last week.

"Huh? Your aunt agreed to let you come out alone?" Meng Guanghui asked, curious and gossipy.

Xia Chujian took off her backpack, stretched her shoulders, and said, "Yes, my aunt trusts Leader Meng very much, so she let me come alone."

Meng Guanghui was happy to hear that, but also felt it was weird, as if something was off.

But when Xia Chujian walked into the training hall, jumped up, and entered the control room of the mechanical mecha, Meng Guanghui threw the fleeting feeling he had just had to the back of his mind.

He followed by calling over the sparring robot and ordering it, "Use your D-Rank strength to fight that mechanical mecha."

Then he also jumped into the mecha's control room and said to Xia Chujian, who was looking around, "I'll give you a demonstration."

Xia Chujian sat in the co-pilot seat next to him, while Meng Guanghui sat in the mecha's pilot seat, closed the hatch, and gripped the control stick.

He explained to Xia Chujian, "If a Gene Evolver operates this mecha, they will directly use the Brain-Computer Interface's sensor system and control the mecha with their Mental Strength. It will be more convenient and faster."

"But the mecha can also be piloted by ordinary people, so there is also an ordinary person's operating system."

"Putting on these virtual reality glasses will allow you to see the mecha's external view."

"And these two control sticks, as well as the two pedals below."

"The two control sticks above control the mecha's arms, the pedals below control the legs, and the instrument panel in front of you controls the mecha's head. I'll show you first."

Then, Meng Guanghui stepped on his left foot, and the mecha immediately soared into the air, flying into the middle of the hall.

The sparring robot also flew up and kicked the huge mecha directly.

Meng Guanghui used the control stick to dodge nimbly, while sweeping his right arm back, almost breaking the sparring robot in half.

Xia Chujian watched with rapt attention, wishing her whole body and mind could merge with the operating system.

After Meng Guanghui demonstrated all the functions, he asked her, "Want to try?"

Xia Chujian immediately became eager to try: "I will!"

The two switched seats.

Xia Chujian also put on a pair of cool virtual reality glasses, gripped the control sticks with both hands, and then stepped on the two pedals.

She was five centimeters shorter than Meng Guanghui, but she had long legs. She only needed to adjust the two pedals forward by one centimeter to step on them perfectly.

Then she suddenly pulled the control stick and stomped on the left pedal.

The three-meter-tall mechanical mecha suddenly whooshed upwards.

When it was about to reach the starry sky map on the ceiling, she pulled the control stick with her right arm, making a beautiful right turn. The mechanical mecha almost grazed the starry sky map on the hall's dome.

As it swooped down, the sparring robot caught up.

Xia Chujian directly hooked the pedal with her right foot and pulled it back, then quickly kicked it forward.

From the outside, it looked like the three-meter-tall mecha's two-meter-long leg hooked back, gathered strength, and then kicked forward fiercely.

The sparring robot that was chasing after her was caught off guard and was kicked away by the mecha controlled by Xia Chujian, falling heavily to the ground.

Then, she quickly followed and flew down, landing on one leg, and stretched out the mechanical mecha's right arm to grab the sparring robot's throat.

Meng Guanghui was dumbfounded.

He said in surprise, "...Have you really never practiced with mechas before?"

Xia Chujian thought, the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha shouldn't count as this kind of mechanical mecha, right?

The power system and operating system were completely different.

So she calmly said, "No, this is the first time I've played with this type of mecha."

She emphasized the words "this type" heavily.

There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
