Shi Lang nced at the content of the message and then he froze. The others caught the change in his expressions and Lucas asked carefully, “What is it? Is everything okay?”
The young man did not reply, he was still frozen. Jane ran out of her patience and quickly came to his side. She nced at themunicator from over his shoulder and asked, “Is this serious?”
Shi Lang, stuck in a daze nodded, and suddenly he sensed pain at the back of his head. Jane looked at him with eyes wide open and said, “What are you fucking dazing out for, you need to check what is going on.”
Shi Lang had no other options and nodded his head like a mechanical chicken. He was simply not able to digest this thing. He dropped the welding can from his hand and then he rushed back to his room.
Lucas asked, “Where are you going?”
“I am going to check something first and then I will tell you what is happening.”, that said, the young man rushed back to his room.
Shi Lang was quickly running through the crowd, whizzing past the people, and when he reached his room. He looked at OB-One and asked, “Did you confirm what was going on?”
The bot nodded to him and said, “The news is confirmed. The jade chips have manifested a primary spirit.”
Shi Lang has dazed again and then he fell down on his bed. He sighed. The earlier text came from the bot. These days Shi Lang had asked the bot to check if the behavior recorded in the suits can be used to influence the spirit data recorded in the jade chips. This was not something that they had done before.
The mechanical data in form of spirit data was not a simple thing. They did not have any prior knowledge. However, yesterday when Shing found El using a technique to manipte the behavior of the people, he gave this hint to OB-One, and finally, they seeded. The bot was capable of manipting spirit energy without being able to cultivate it.
The jade chip manifested a primary spirit that will be able to have some reflex reactions if sent to battle because of the data used to create it. Shi Lang was happy and asked, “Where are the chips?”
OB-One said, “Here, Sire.”
The bot pointed at a box filled with ten jade chips. Shi Lang nodded and took the box. He said, “Come over, we need to connect it to the mecha brain center. The others do not understand this process.”
OB-One nodded and said, “Yes, Sire.”
The two people came back to the mecha bay and found a group of people standing in front of the tech team. Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and walking closer he asked, “Jane what is it?”
Jane replied, “These people said that their mechas were damaged too much in the battle yesterday and they needed some parts.”
She shrugged her shoulders, and looking at the man in front of him, she said, “Our leader is here, please consult him over this thing.”
Shi Lang sighed and passed the box to OB-One before walking over, and he said, “Go prepare the slots.”
The bot nodded and then walked around with the rest of the team. They definitely threw Shi Lang under the bus, and have him face a group of alien humanoids. Shi Lang stood in front of the people and asked, “I do not know whether you can understand mynguage or not, but can you tell me what is the matter?”
The aliens in front of him looked a bit paler but they were all extremely closer to Terrans. They also had anguage, and the man replied, “Sir, we can understand you. We are the natives of the Estixa empire. Yesterday in the battle our mechas were a bit too damaged and one of themcked a joint coupling. The part we use is not avable on the market, and we noticed that your mechas are the closest to our design, if you can lend them to us, then we will be grateful.”
Shi Lang smiled and said, “Why did you not bring a few more with you?”
The man was embarrassed and he red at a timid-looking girl on the side. He said, “Sir, this is Erma, she was responsible for that mecha, but she forgot to make an inventory log. All ten of our mechas are different from each other.”
Shi Lang was surprised and asked, “Are they based on the personality of your pilots?”
The aliens were surprised and they nodded. Shi Lang sighed, “I am impressed. You know I also wanted to design a specific mecha, but some dreamse trueter than necessary. Well, you can take the coupler.”
The young general turned around and hollered, “Lucas! Give this man a coupler.”
Then he turned around and said, “You can collect the coupler, I wish you all the best. Please forgive me, but I have a few things to deal with.”
The other party nodded, and said, “My name is Walton. I am the leader of the Estixa team. Nice to meet you.”
Shi Lang gave a little self-introduction before he walked away. Lucas then handed the people the part they needed and they began to work.
Matthew suddenly asked, “Boss, did you not give them that part a bit too easily?”
Shi Lang replied, “They were shivering from fear. I feared they might have died if I had said anything more. Another thing was that these people had swallowed their pride toe to an opponent team, and they were sincere. We are Terrans, we value virtue.”
The mood suddenly became solemn. OB-One said, “Sire, things are ready.”
They began to install the jade chips to the mechas.
…
Walton and his team hade to their mecha bay, and they all slumped on the ground. Theposure they were maintaining earlier suddenly crumbled. They were so scared that they were panting and shivering. The frontal forces of their team were waiting for them, when they saw this scene they were simply shocked.
They ran over and asked, “Captain, what happened? Did they do something overboard?”
Walton shook his head, as the captain, his mental fortitude was better, he was not as shaken as the rest of the people. He said, “They gave us the part with ease, but the aura from each one of them was horrible. Imagine one of those old relics standing in front of us, it was just like that. If we meet them in thepetition, choose the warship face off, and move away.”
Although the team found it hard to believe the technician team and their leader were currently slumped on the floor. Erma said, “If you face their leader, you might get away, if he is in the mood, but do not trust it for a second, he will not stand for you to push him too much. His crimson eyes, seem to be filled with blood.”
The team agreed and after calming down they all began to pay attention to their work.
…
The next day, all the two hundred and fifty teams were gathered in the hall again, and El was hovering over their heads on a disc. However, she was wearing a dress that could excite all the humanoids in the hall. She said in her charming voice, “Hello friends, today we continue topete with each other, but today the teams can only have ground battles with each other. You have to be prepared. I wish you all the best. However, if the toss-winning teams are willing to give up the ranks points they have won yesterday, they will be able to select the mode on their own.”
That said, theputer began to arrange names, and Shi Lang said, “They have barred us from selecting the battle mode. Fine then, let us go and deal with it.”
The team nodded and soon the federal team was paired and they won the toss. This toss allowed them to choose a map setting of their own desire. Shi Lang asked, “What do we choose?”
Jane said, “Anything that can top the Tartarus?”
The rest of the people trembled and Shing said, “I will not be revealing that to the gxy. Be sensible. Tell me your abilities and the catch behind them, then we will set the map ordingly.”
The team reported things to him with utmost trust. Shi Lang thought and said, “We can fight in the forest and set diversions and distractions for the enemy using these abilities. What do you say?”
The people nodded and they all agreed, the map was settled and Shi Lang was eager to fight with people. They were given ten minutes to get ready, and the young man changed his sword to a narrow and shorter de, it looked like a long sword. The prep was done and Shi Lang asked, ‘Ready?”
“Hoorah!” said the team.
