The Micro-Mechanism replaces entire blocks of metal, allowing for localized movement during actions like being stabbed by a sword. This mechanism can create an empty space at the point of impact, catching the blade and preventing it from penetrating further. Originally developed for construction, it was unexpectedly adapted by Jiang Xue for use in mechs.
Undoubtedly, this is a bold innovation; the recent battle has proven that this innovation achieved unexpected results.
Watching the star stand unharmed not far away, Cao Ke couldn't help but smile wryly.
His smile was one of joy for Jiang Xue's brilliance, but the bitterness contained within was multifaceted.
He slowly stood up, stretched the shoulders of his mech, checked its damage, and then addressed Civilization.
"I admit, you've done more than I have. I've never even witnessed a battle involving you; aside from knowing you're a Crimson Rank, my understanding of you is limited to superficial information."
"But even so, what does it matter?"
Civilization paused at his words, and in the Data Room, Jiang Xue's smile froze on her face.
"Thank you for making me take you seriously enough to relive the tension from years ago, but that won't change the outcome. From now on, I won't let you succeed."
"You've watched thousands of my battles; have you ever seen me repair my mech during a fight? Now I'll show you that for a Mid-Level Red Rank, I will never run out of ideas."
Cao Ke said this as he controlled another intact arm to begin repairs on his injured shoulder. The mech came equipped with some basic repair tools for emergencies.
However, no one had ever dared to start self-repairing in the midst of battle without regard for their opponent.
This was an insult to his adversary, and murmurs of shock rippled through the venue as Jiang Xue's delicate face tightened.
Civilization was seasoned and would not be disturbed by such a provocative act. However, he could not allow Cao Ke to fix his shoulder; if he did, wouldn't that undermine the unexpected advantage he had created?
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly surged forward.
Cao Ke piloted the War God, ascending into the sky at the first opportunity. Faced with the oncoming civilization, he did not respond head-on but instead chose to evade.
Thus, the two mechs began a chase against the backdrop of a clear blue sky.
The maximum speed of a mech has its limits; as long as one reaches Crimson Rank, they can achieve that top speed. However, the agility at maximum speed varies; the difference between mid-tier and lower-tier is akin to that between the Olympics and the National Games.
No matter how relentlessly the civilization pursued, they always brushed past each other, sometimes only a few meters apart.
At this point, using Shells was the only option. However, at high speeds, close-range Shells could cause self-harm, forcing him to resort to some interference rounds. But for Cao Ke, interference rounds felt like mere tickles. Moreover, he was far more adept at combining Shell launches than the civilization. So if Cao Ke continued to flee like this, the civilization would be left powerless.
The scene fell into a stalemate; it seemed there would be no new developments until Cao Ke finished repairing his shoulder.
In the Data Room, Shangguan Wangyu wore a kingly smile as usual, while Jufeng and Jiang Xue couldn't help but furrow their brows.
...
Where there is laughter, there is also sorrow; where there is prosperity, there is also desolation.
Six kilometers away from Universal Building, in another commercial center, there lay a serene estate amidst bustling surroundings. At this moment, this estate had only one inhabitant—the Music Goddess, Wen Yun, blessed with a captivating voice and extraordinary talent.
Since Wen Yun entered the music scene, it seemed all previous musicians had faded into obscurity, leaving her as the sole star in this situation. This trend continued to expand because her talent appeared to have only just begun to reveal its brilliance; every time she gently unearthed a bit more of it, it shocked the world. Yet it remained like an unfathomable treasure that seemed impossible to fully explore.
However, now this goddess who should have been enjoying her coronation under the moonlight wore a sorrowful expression, with traces of tears still visible on her cheeks.
The second young master of the Universal Energy Corporation, Cao Shuang, had committed a grave offense by imprisoning Wen Yun here, and naturally, there would be some backlash from the world. However, under the vast wings of his family background, coupled with Cao Ke's constraints on Cao Shuang, even the slight murmurs of those in the know were hidden in the darkness.
Outsiders merely assumed that Wen Yun was in seclusion, fully engrossed in her creative work, and they were filled with anticipation.
Among Sister Five, Wen Yun was the most proud and strong-willed. She never concealed her emotions, which made her the most distant from Jufeng.
A goddess should possess such an aura.
Yet it was precisely this aura that had led Wen Yun into her current situation.
With a creak, the serene wooden door was pushed open from the outside, revealing a leering Cao Shuang accompanied by a muscular middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was a bodyguard sent by Cao Ke to protect or monitor Cao Shuang. With an exceptionally high combat rating, he had been waiting in this courtyard. He looked down on someone like Cao Shuang and was naturally reluctant to protect him. Fortunately, this arrangement would soon come to an end tonight.
Because Cao Ke had mentioned that someone would come to rescue this seemingly untouchable woman, and at that time, as long as he crushed whoever came for her, he could finally leave this useless super-rich second generation behind.
Casting a disdainful glance at Cao Shuang as he approached Wen Yun, he was already weary of the upcoming act. It was always the same performance repeated endlessly; he couldn't understand why this fool never grew tired of it.
Cao Shuang approached Wen Yun with narrowed eyes but stopped abruptly five meters away when he saw her holding a brooch. The sharp tip of the pin gleamed coldly as it pointed at her fair and supple throat.
Looking into Wen Yun's defiant gaze, Cao Shuang immediately deflated and hurriedly exclaimed, "No, no! I won't come near you! Just put that thing down. It would be such a pity if something happened to such a flawless beauty."
Cao Shuang wore a pitiful expression mixed with lewdness; his words combined with his face made one feel even more nauseated.
Wen Yun's face flushed with anger at Cao Shuang's words. How shameless and debauched could he be! To compare her to an object of play! In her fury, Wen Yun thought about ending it all just to escape this beast's vile words.
However, with parents at home and sisters and relatives around, how could Wen Yun accept that her prime years would wither away because of this scoundrel?
Wen Yun was a perfectionist who did not want her death to occur under such circumstances. For reasons unknown, she had not acted rashly yet; if she were truly forced into a corner, she would rather die than submit.
Cao Shuang looked at the food right before him but could not taste it, feeling an unusual discomfort inside. If it weren't for the brother he feared giving orders, he would have countless ways to make this woman obediently lie in his bed.
His gaze dropped, taking in her fair skin, the rounded fullness of her bosom, and her smooth, tender legs. Cao Shuang couldn't help but swallow hard.
Wen Yun felt an overwhelming sense of shame as she witnessed the blatant violation before her, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
At that moment, suddenly, the lights in the room of the manor dimmed unexpectedly.
The middle-aged man standing at the door was taken aback! A piercing scream echoed through the darkness!
