Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 97: A Stuffy Old Panda

With spiritual power alone, a soul could pilot a Mecha, but the physical body couldn’t withstand the ’pressure’ it exerted. Therefore, in the Federation, only those who had awakened both their spiritual power and their Genes could pilot a Mecha, making Mecha Warriors an extremely scarce resource.

The third type were ordinary people.

Throughout the long river of evolution, they had retained their original Genes, which should have been a good thing—

But stagnation meant a lack of evolution. Without strength or talent, they were inferior to others in every way. These people were gradually exiled to low-level star systems, swept aside by the tides of time.

Mo Chengyu was a classic example of the second type. Before even reaching adulthood, she had demonstrated astonishing talent by awakening Level 2S spiritual power. Unfortunately, she had only awakened her spiritual power and had not inherited her family’s Beast Clan Genes.

Thus, she was brilliant but frail. Unable to fulfill her childhood dream of joining the army to fight, she carved out a new path for herself. She skipped grades to enter the Federal Military Academy’s Mecha design program, graduated at twenty, and joined the Federation Army’s Mecha Design Department. Within a little over a decade, she had risen to the top spot in the department, becoming a core ’asset’ for the Federation.

In recent years, Mo Chengyu had overused her spiritual power, working day and night on Mecha designs. After her spiritual power had suffered a few minor collapses, her superiors forced her to take a vacation to relax.

Who would have thought that even on vacation, a workaholic like her would just have to take a peek at some blueprints, making her injuries even worse.

Mo Chengyu looked guilty at the mention of this. "How was I supposed to know? I was just taking a look, fiddling with a few parts. I thought I’d just dabble a little, but who knew—"

’I got completely absorbed and pushed myself to the breaking point.’

"Don’t be angry. I’ll send a message to your Admiral Mo right now. He’s on vacation in the Federation recently, so he should be free."

According to the principles of spiritual power recovery, someone with high spiritual power could guide someone with lower spiritual power, accelerating their recovery from a spiritual power collapse.

"I’ll ask him to come stay for a while. We can even discuss Mecha together, which would help me recover faster."

"!"

"If you can get Admiral Mo to come, Director, that would be wonderful, of course!"

--Mo Chengyu: Bro, bro, bro! Your little sister is about to keel over! I’m at the usual spot in Starry Sky Wander, on my last breath, waiting for you to save me from this fiery pit of despair! Don’t you abandon me!

--Mo Chengyu: You absolutely must get here within three days! I’m waiting for you!

--Mo Chengyu: If you don’t want to come, just remember that I am the brain of the Federation Army! If I’m not well, a whole bunch of Mecha projects can’t get started! Come on, come on, come on!

Mo Si received the messages.

"..."

’The same old theatrics.’

He often wondered how his flighty, mercurial sister could design such exquisitely brilliant Mecha for the battlefield.

’Their styles were completely at odds.’

--Mo Si: I was coming even if you hadn’t messaged me.

--Mo Si: You have no regard for your own body. You’re a soldier too. Obeying orders is your duty, yet you defy it, refusing to learn your lesson time and time again.

--Mo Chengyu: Bro, are you coming just to lecture me???

--Mo Si: Yes.

--Mo Chengyu: ...

--Mo Chengyu: Fine, fine, lecture away. When are you coming?

Mo Si planned to go after watching the next livestream, so he replied: In two days.

Mo Chengyu traded a few more messages with him. Then, as a fragrant aroma wafted past her nose, she excitedly left another message: If you come to Starry Sky Wander this time, I have a surprise for you! Someone amazing moved into our community. Her cooking is seriously the best in the entire Federation. Big Bro, you have to come try it!

Mo Si: No need.

Mo Chengyu: ???

Mo Si: I doubt her cooking is the best in the entire Federation.

Mo Si: Focus on recovering. Don’t indulge in gluttony. Your status is unique; be wary of the people who appear around you. Don’t carelessly eat food from unknown sources. Cherish your life. You still have a duty to serve the Federation.

Mo Chengyu: ...

Mo Chengyu: Big Bro, you’re no fun at all. In two days, just send your spiritual power over. Leave your mouth at home. I don’t want to hear it.

Mo Si: Hard truths are hard to hear. Sweet words are empty flattery.

...

’This conversation was going nowhere.’

’Damn that stuffy old panda!!!’
