Chapter 553 - 492: A Not-So-Easy World for Two
A new truce period began at the front line. Mos and his siblings heard that their mother had brought their younger brothers and sisters over for a visit, so they took some time off from the battlefield to hurry back.
They came in such a hurry that they didn’t even change out of their military uniforms, flying straight over in their fighter mechas. This was quite a feast for the eyes for Little Qi and the others!
Hele Tomanie, seeing how interested the children were in the Mechas, smiled and explained, "The Prince and Princess’s exclusive Mechas were all designed and manufactured by my hand. They utilize cutting-edge technology and are forged from 573 different types of Space Crystal Alloy, capable of unleashing the formidable power of one against a hundred in battle!"
"For example, the eldest prince’s Black Scorpion Battle Armor is a medium-sized assault-type close-combat Mecha. It’s used for mobile vanguard actions and is also the most common Mecha model on the battlefield."
She then led the children to a black-and-white Mecha nearby, which stood over ten meters tall.
"This is the Mecha of His Highness, the Second Prince Mos: Sky Hunt."
A tall, slender young man jumped out of the cockpit. He had long, silver-gray hair and turquoise eyes. The slight downturn of his eyes made him look beautiful, with an indescribable hint of melancholy. Light silver patterns extended from his neck up to his jawline, a clear inheritance of the gorgeous and bewitching appearance of the Butterfly Clan.
Mos raised an eyebrow at Little Qi and the others, seemingly surprised. ’His older siblings are this young?!’
He scratched his head, took out a few Qiankun Bags from his personal space, and handed them over with a grin.
"Long time no see! Welcome, come and hang out~~"
From the other two Mechas, a young man and a young woman jumped out respectively. They looked to be in their late teens, around seventeen or eighteen, having just recently come of age.
The young woman had dazzling, long, platinum-blonde curly hair that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight. She had light-orange, sunset-colored eyes, a delicate nose, and rosy cherry-like lips. She stepped on the Mecha’s elbow and knee, then lightly leaped back to the ground in two elegant and beautiful moves.
The other young man was, of course, the youngest son, Yolanda. His features were somewhat similar to his older brother and sister, making him very handsome. However, he had unique short hair, black with gold highlights. He had sharp eyebrows and bright, star-like eyes with golden pupils.
Yolanda was the only little spider among the four Insect Clan children. When he was born, his body was the frailest, and he was the child Anubia had worried over the most. Now grown up, compared to his two tall and slender older brothers, his physique was more agile and robust.
Anubia had said that Yolanda had poor health as a child. His classmates at school didn’t dare do anything to him openly, but they often mocked him behind his back. He overheard their malicious gossip, and from then on, the youngest son steeled his resolve to train and cultivate. He endured a great deal of hardship to finally catch up to his older siblings.
Sen Chuan and Yolanda had also prepared gifts.
Even though Little Qi and the others were younger in appearance, they were still the older siblings, so naturally, they couldn’t just accept gifts without giving anything back. They also presented extremely precious gifts in return.
The children hadn’t seen each other in a long time, but they had played together when they were little. They were a bit distant at first, but after exchanging a few words, they were soon chatting away.
What made Mos and the others happiest was that their mother had returned. A childhood without a mother’s companionship would always have some regrets; they had yearned and longed for her.
Little Senchuan was so excited that she transformed into her original form. However, she deliberately shrank her body, turning into a palm-sized platinum butterfly. She flew into Sang Luo’s palm, her antennae gently brushing against her fingers.
"Mother, do you still remember your daughter?" When she was little, she loved to lie in her mother’s palm like this. It was a warm place, full of her mother’s scent.
"..." Sang Luo’s heart melted completely. She lowered her head and planted a soft kiss on her small wings. "I’m sorry. I wasn’t able to be by your side."
"I heard from Father. He said Mother was in a coma for many years. As long as you’re okay now, that’s all that matters!"
’Such a sensible child!’ Sang Luo felt even more guilty and decided to stay at the Star Vortex Insect Nest for a few more years to accompany them.
Little Song opened his gift bag to take a look. It was filled with many Energy Gathering Crystal Stones and lots of high-quality materials, all of which had been extracted from the bodies of Exotic Beasts on the battlefield and were extremely valuable!
"Wow, younger brother Mos and the others are amazing! They must have killed at least ten thousand King Rank or higher life forms for this!"
Hele Tomanie explained gently, "Yes. The Prince and Princess are of noble status, so they generally don’t go to the battlefield in their true forms. The second prince’s Mecha is a Lightweight Long-range Sniper Armor. It has an extremely high attack speed and is equipped with Group Attack Equipment, allowing it to instantly reap heads on the battlefield. In three years of service, it has eliminated over 250,000 enemies!"
"Its only weakness is its low defense, making it just as easy for enemies to ’reap’ it. That’s why Princess Little Senchuan usually deploys with the second prince."
Little Yuan turned his head to look at the huge Mecha not far away. "That’s younger sister Sen Chuan’s Mecha!"
"Yes, this Mecha is named ’Guardian.’ It’s the latest model of Super Heavy Armor Shield Guard Mecha. The material used is the strongest Space Alloy available today. It sacrifices mobility for extremely high defense! It can transform into a fixed turret, balancing offense and defense to create the most suitable output environment for the second prince."
Hele Tomanie hugged the little white snake, contentedly stroking the beast cub while continuing her explanation. "Then there’s the fourth prince’s Mecha, which is a Lightweight Agile Mobile Battle Armor, a type of Reconnaissance Flying Mecha. Over 80% of its body is made from Ultra-light High-strength Alloy. Its attack equipment has been removed to maximize mobility, making it suitable for scouting enemy positions..."
"If the Young Masters have any requests for the Mecha styles they like, you can also tell me."
"Okay~"
The beast cubs replied obediently.
Hele Tomanie squealed internally: ’So adorable!’
’Maybe I should find a Beast Clan partner too, and have a few beast cubs of my own to play with!’
...
After Hele Tomanie finished taking body measurements for Little Qi and the others, she and her team designed the most suitable exclusive Mechas for the children. They could be manufactured in three months at the earliest.
The Mecha data was uploaded to the terminal, allowing the children to enter a virtual battlefield to pilot the Mechas and conduct basic training.
Little Senchuan and the others were there to help guide them one-on-one.
Little Qi and Little Yuan got a Medium-sized Twin Mecha. It can switch weapons for long-range and close-quarters combat: a Longsword for close combat, and a Laser Pistol for long-range. The Mecha’s stats are balanced, allowing it to reach its maximum potential on the battlefield.
Little Song, being playful, chose a Heavy Close Combat Fighting Mecha. Unlike a heavy shield guard type, its defense is average, but its mobility and Attack Power are enhanced, making it invincible in close combat!
Little Jin chose a Light Flying Fighter Mecha, with an appearance similar to her true form, a Fire Phoenix. Its weapon is a Photon Bow and Arrow. It specializes in long-range group attacks and wars of attrition, making it the most infuriating type of Mecha for the enemy to face!
The cubs had a blast playing in the virtual battlefield, completely forgetting about their dear mother.
Sang Luo was relaxed and carefree, free from babysitting duties.
No one was happier than Anubia. He had finally found an opportunity to be intimate with his wife. He stuck to her like glue every day and was impossible to shake off!
"Luoluo~"
"I love you!"
"I like you so, so much. I love you to death..."
"Do you love me?"
"Ugh~"
Day and night, he pestered her for affection, calling her name over and over again. With his boundless energy, Sang Luo’s back became unbearably sore.
’Oof~ You can’t let a dog of a man starve for too long. I guess I’ll have to feed him a few more scraps of "meat" in the future!’
