Ling Feng saw that the few people were having fun and didn't intend to disturb them. He turned to leave.
In the room, Zhen spotted Ling Feng at the door, blinked, and a slight smile curved her lips. She spoke.
"Ling, is that you?"
Hearing Zhen's call, Ling Feng knew he had been discovered.
"Oh? Little brother at the door, is that the Administrator Ling Feng you've been telling us about, Zhen?"
"Little brother, do you want to come in and play with us!"
The white fox, Housai Gong, chuckled lightly. The latter part of her sentence sent shivers down Ling Feng's spine.
As expected of a shrine maiden fox from a grand shrine, her tone was almost identical to that of Yae Miko, that stinky fox!
Zhen was accustomed to Housai Gong's teasing nature.
Zhen got up and walked towards the door.
Then, Ling Feng was dragged in by Zhen to play hanafuda.
However, Ling Feng had never played before, and holding the cards, he had no idea how to play.
"Come..."
"I'll teach you, like this... and then like this..."
Just as Zhen was about to teach Ling Feng, Yae suddenly moved over, pointed at the cards in Ling Feng's hand, and began to instruct him.
"Pfft!"
Housai Gong suddenly burst into laughter, and Chiyo and Sasayuri beside her struggled to stifle theirs.
Yae: ???
"What are you laughing at?"
The three of them waved their hands in unison: Nothing, nothing, continue.
The more they said that, the more Yae felt something was amiss.
"Yae, you should hurry up and teach him how to play."
"Yes, like this, and then like this."
Watching Yae earnestly teach Ling Feng, Housai Gong couldn't help but laugh again.
Yae: Stinky fox, what exactly are you laughing at?
Housai Gong: Nothing, I just thought of something amusing.
Yae didn't look like she was lying, so she turned back, still confused, to continue teaching Ling Feng.
Beside Ling Feng, Zhen also had a smile on her face because she understood what Housai Gong and the others were laughing about.
After a few rounds, Ling Feng lost every single one, losing by a landslide.
Just like Yae.
Amidst the laughter and joy, Ling Feng's relationship with the others subtly deepened, as if he were becoming part of this group of five.
After playing hanafuda, at Zhen's request, Ling Feng went to prepare dinner, while she assisted him by his side.
As for Yae, she was still unwilling to accept defeat and lost miserably again.
Dinner time.
The four of them looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table with surprise, their mouths watering.
Housai Gong: Holy cow, so much food, and it smells so good! I'm digging in!
Yae: Hmm.
Chiyo: A master chef!
Sasayuri: ...
They all began to devour the food ravenously. In wartime, they had never eaten such delicious food.
...
In the middle of the night, Ling Feng had already asked Zhen for a day off, saying he was going to scout the surroundings.
Ling Feng lay on the bed, his eyes shining as he looked at the mission to break through to the Core Formation stage.
[Core Formation Breakthrough Mission: Pacific Rim 1]
Pacific Rim!
Mechs!
Gipsy Danger!
The romance of men!
"Quick, accept, accept!"
What otaku doesn't have a dream of piloting a mech?
He had wanted to pilot a mech for a long time; he had no resistance to those cool mechs.
As the system's countdown ended, Ling Feng vanished with a whoosh.
...
Off the coast of Alaska in the Pacific Ocean, Ling Feng noticed that this time the transmigration was different from usual.
He was enveloped in a ball of light. Although he couldn't escape from it, he could control its movement with his mind.
"Right, where is this?"
Ling Feng looked around.
It was dark, with strong winds and heavy rain, rough waves, and a fishing boat.
Despite the darkness and rain, which severely obstructed his vision, it was almost the same as daytime for him, at the early Core Formation stage, and his vision was not hindered.
Ling Feng scanned the surroundings and found the scene very familiar.
"I remember, isn't this where the plot begins?"
Since the fishing boat was nearby, where were Gipsy Danger and Knifehead?
As Ling Feng thought this, a colossal creature suddenly emerged from the sea.
It was enormous, even larger than the three-headed sea beast he had encountered on the Star Killer.
Since Knifehead had appeared, then...
Ling Feng looked in another direction, and he could see a bright light in the sea.
Just as he expected, Gipsy Danger rose from the sea.
Its mighty and imposing appearance, the nuclear reactor on its chest, the turbine processor.
Majestic and full of power!
Cool!
As expected of my favorite model!
However, Ling Feng also noticed that they couldn't see him, and he could pass through Gipsy Danger and the others.
While Ling Feng was pondering why,
Gipsy Danger moved, placing the fishing boat aside with one hand, then turning and unleashing a powerful punch to Knifehead's face as it leaped.
*Duang!*
After being knocked back by the punch, Knifehead immediately recovered and was about to counterattack.
But Gipsy Danger was expertly piloted. After the first punch, it delivered another left punch to Knifehead's right face.
Knifehead felt a bit... no, the entire beast felt dizzy.
Knifehead: Who am I? Where am I? What do I need to do?
*Bang!*
As it was dazed, Gipsy Danger raised both hands and slammed down heavily.
Knifehead, which had just lifted its head, was smashed back into the sea.
"Beautiful!"
Ling Feng exclaimed.
These bone-jarring, heavy-sounding blows, this was a mech!
Watching the fight between Gipsy Danger and Knifehead from this perspective was far more exhilarating than watching a movie.
He couldn't wait to pilot a mech himself and spar with this Kaiju. He had to admit, Knifehead's tenacious spirit was commendable.
Knocked down, it stood up again.
*Crack.*
As Knifehead lifted its head, it first collided with Gipsy Danger, then was grabbed by its large horns. Gipsy Danger's right hand readied its plasma cannon.
Seeing this, Ling Feng suddenly thought of Tiga, the horn-breaking maniac.
No matter who it was, break its horns first!
*Boom! Boom!*
Two plasma cannon blasts later, Knifehead was blasted to pieces, its blue blood spraying into the ocean.
Knifehead fell heavily into the sea.
"Finish it! Finish it!"
Watching Gipsy Danger stand there calmly, Ling Feng wanted to remind them, but enveloped in the ball of light, he was as if he didn't exist in this world.
Ling Feng phased into Gipsy Danger's cockpit and heard the Colonel shouting at Raleigh and Yancy to retreat.
Seeing their inaction, Ling Feng really wanted to slap each of them.
Showing off?
Showing off will cost them their lives!
Unfortunately, he couldn't even touch the two of them.
*Boom!*
Knifehead suddenly lunged out of the sea behind Gipsy Danger and delivered a heavy blow to Gipsy Danger's face.
Gipsy Danger's cockpit shook violently.
Serves them right!
Didn't they know when to stop?
After being ambushed, they intended to use the plasma cannon to destroy Knifehead directly, as they had before.
But Knifehead had learned its lesson. Using its sharp horns as a weapon, it grabbed Gipsy Danger's left arm and rammed its head forward.
*Bang!*
Gipsy Danger's entire left arm was pierced by the sharp horns, rendering it useless.
At the same time, because of the neural link, the pilots, suffering from Gipsy Danger's severe injuries, also cried out in pain.
As the two wailed, Knifehead suddenly ripped open the right side of the cockpit, and pilot Yancy died on the spot.
With the supporting character dead, it was time for the protagonist.
Admittedly, Raleigh's willpower as a mortal was quite strong.
Using sheer willpower, he piloted Gipsy Danger to counterattack, but he was still beaten badly.
The mech's right chest was directly pierced.
Ling Feng suddenly understood something.
It was correct for Tiga to break the horns first; if the enemy's horns weren't broken, the result would be similar to Gipsy Danger's.
Gipsy Danger was gnawed at by Knifehead, and mechanical parts were falling off.
At the critical moment, the plasma cannon finally finished charging and fired.
*Boo*
[Hidden Mission: ???]
"Wait, System, where's my mech!"
Before Ling Feng could finish speaking, the ball of light emitted a dazzling glow, blinding Ling Feng.
When Ling Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself on an island.
"Where is this?"
Ling Feng opened the system map in confusion and zoomed out, discovering he was on a small island.
This island was very close to Hong Kong.
"Is this my spawn point?"
Although he didn't understand why the system had teleported him here,
In his memory, he was near the Shattered Firmament base near Hong Kong.
"Never mind, let me check my items first."
As before, the system space was temporarily closed during breakthrough missions, leaving only five system slots.
Since it was Pacific Rim, and the enemy was a giant monster,
Ling Feng had brought the following items this time:
Blade of the War God, Star Pattern Armor, Mist Wind, a bottle of Resurrection Pills, and the Arc Reactor.
The reason for bringing the Arc Reactor was that Ling Feng felt it might come in handy.
"Alright, next, no matter what, I have to get a mech."
Ling Feng was prepared to sneak into the Shattered Firmament base and steal a mech.
No one could stop his dream of piloting a mech!
Coming to Pacific Rim and not piloting a mech felt like a huge disservice to himself!
As for monsters, even without a mech, he could kill them with the Blade of the War God, albeit with some effort.
But piloting a mech was still the most important thing.
