Chapter 180 Use the Manual to Turn on the Mecha

Six people in total.

The four wore full-coverage exoskeleton armor. Only the eyes of the helmet were a blue display screen, and they held heavy weapons half a person's height in their hands;

Two people control a three-meter-tall small mecha.

In addition, there are six mechanical creatures that look like scorpions, which are very similar to the one that attacked Li Changzhou at the beginning, but they are not the same model.

These mechanical creatures set up a barrier and surrounded the entire house. If they escaped from any angle, they would be discovered - even stealth and blocking signals would not work.

As expected, Wan Caroline was of great status. The six soldiers were stopped outside by a maid, and the other maid seemed to have gone to ask for instructions from the master who had not yet gotten up.

"Chicken bones of this level can be chopped off completely." Li Changzhou confirmed.

"Don't worry yet." Yang Qinglan muttered, "The soldiers outside are nothing. The most important thing is how not to reveal your identity."

"What do you think we should do?" Li Changzhou asked.

There is no way to escape without fighting. The only way is to quickly resolve the battle and escape into the wild.

"Just thinking about it."

On the bed, Beja Tris asked Li Qianxia: "The small team outside has weapons that can defeat a five-meter mecha, and the armor can also withstand the missiles of a six-meter mecha. Can you deal with them?"

"Of course! We are the Shaolin football team and we know kung fu! Those car mechanics are no match for us!" Li Qianxia replied.

"."

In fact, so far, Beatrice has not understood what "Shaolin" is, a school?

She does understand football. In this world, there are also games and competitions where "mechas shoot missiles into the opponent's base." In front of the base, there are also mechas responsible for intercepting missiles.

"Turn on the mecha, the one in the garage." Yang Qinglan said suddenly.

"Um?"

"These people did not rush in directly, which proves that our identity has not been exposed. Killing them with mecha can delay it for a while, and -"

She glanced at Beja Tris and continued to explain: "Mechas can also be used to withstand bullets - the four of us are okay. Once the princess is hit, she may die directly and there will be no time for treatment."

"No, no, no." Li Qianxia said quickly, "If I get hit in the head, I won't be able to get treatment in time."

"Can't you not get hit?" Li Changzhou said to her as if he was disgusted.

"What you are saying here is the same as 'Why don't you rent out your house?'"

Li Changzhou ignored Li Qianxia's teasing and thought along Yang Qinglan's train of thought.

He said: "The mecha riots are also very eye-catching, but at least they will not be immediately associated with us. At the critical moment, if you encounter an imperial mecha, you can still temporarily resist it - just do it!"

Putting away the Emerald Bee Sword and King Cobra, he and Yang Qinglan walked out of the room.

"Let's go, princess." Li Qianxia said to Beatrice sitting on the bed.

Beatrice looked at her strangely.

"You have personally faced Imperial mechas, do you think you can defeat them?"

"Should...not be possible." Li Qianxia answered hesitantly.

"Then why." Beatrice softened her tone, "Then why are you still so active? Why aren't you desperate? I don't understand."

"What's not to understand?" Li Qianxia smiled brightly, "Of course I don't want to die."

Beatrice opened her lips and fell silent again.

They don't want to die because as long as they complete the task, they can return to their previous lives.

But for herself, even if her mission is completed and she marries the heir to the empire, it is not the life she wants.

She wanted to die on the way there.

But no, the principality needs her alive.

Beatrice took a deep breath and got off the bed: "Let's go!"

Li Qianxia slowly put away her smile. Because she had no parents and was poor, she had been sensitive to other people's thoughts since she was a child.

She looked at the girl about her own age standing in front of her.

On earth, any girl or boy who refuses to study and resolutely becomes a scumbag when faced with parents who are urging them to get married can spend their entire lives without getting married or having children.

And the princess of a principality in front of me

[Trigger side mission: Princess Knight]

[Mission content: Save the princess]

[Note: There are many ways to save. Depending on the method, the rewards are different - death is the simplest rescue]

【.】

[Tasks are not repeated]

[Based on the player's instinct - "Twin" and origin - "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", this side task is now shared with the other son of "Twins" and the leader of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves"]

"Well"

"What's wrong?" Bea Tris looked at Li Qianxia doubtfully.

".I might have to get scolded by my brother."

The side missions didn't matter. What was important was that Li Changzhou had clearly told her not to have too much affection for any character in history - she didn't know about ships at that time.

The two came to the living room. Yang Qinglan was talking to Yaochi who had just woken up. Li Changzhou who was standing aside did not scold her, but just glanced at her one more time.

Li Qianxia shrank her shoulders, as if a long time ago, she accidentally spilled water on her brother's math summer homework while copying it.

Yaochi also agreed with the strategy of turning on the mecha and asked for the key - the bracelet - from Win Caroline.

While Wan Caroline was dealing with the soldiers at the door, the five of them quietly sneaked to the garage.

The eight-meter-tall mecha is nearly three stories high. People standing directly underneath need to raise their heads completely.

Press the cockpit opening button, there will be a squeezing sound of air, and the cockpit will open.

The cockpit is not small, but it is not too big either. If one person sits in the driver's seat, the other four people cannot fit in even if they huddle up in a circle around the driver's seat.

Unless one is sitting on the driver's lap.

Holding a girl and controlling a mecha is a routine operation (in the anime), so it’s not a big deal at all.

It's a pity that the driver is not Li Changzhou.

"Which one of you will open it?" Li Changzhou asked Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia and Yaochi.

The three of them looked at each other, and Yaochi said, "I can't."

"Um?"

"Neither can I." Li Qianxia said.

"What?"

"Me too." Yang Qinglan said.

"At the critical moment, the enemy is outside, can you please stop joking?" Li Changzhou was anxious.

"Believe it or not, hum!" Yaochi looked like his girlfriend was angry.

"Brother, we really don't know how." Li Qianxia is very obedient now, just like she took the initiative to give snacks to her brother after spilling water on her homework. "The mechas of the three of us use neural connection devices, but this one ——”

This one has a keyboard and a joystick, but it doesn't have the familiar neural connections.

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan, who nodded in confirmation.

He looked at the princess again.

Beatrice said:

"Manually operated mechas have been eliminated from the battlefield. The military uses drones and mechas equipped with neural connection systems. However, manually operated mechas are very popular among civilians. Some people even think that manual mechas are romantic and very Sought after.”

"No one asked you this, would you?"

"I remember there was an operating manual." Beja Tris leaned down and pressed a few times on the keyboard, which was expected to have more than 300 keys.

A manual pops up on the monitor, titled: "MH-60LK Operating Instructions and Basic Maintenance Manual".

After opening the instruction manual, Beatrice stepped aside, like a gentleman pulling out a chair for a lady. People couldn't help but want to say thank you to her.

"..." Li Changzhou looked at Yaochi, "Call Caroline over. Now is not the time to consider whether it will affect the civilians."

"I asked her to do her best to cope with the soldiers' search, and if she didn't hurry up, the soldiers would break into the garage."

"How fast?" Li Changzhou asked.

Yang Qinglan's blue eyes swept away, and Li Changzhou fell into the cockpit: "It's better to read the instructions quickly to waste time."

"Me?" Li Changzhou pointed at himself and looked up at the four beautiful women outside the cockpit.

He felt like he was being forced to go into the well to pick up iron balls that had sunk to the bottom of the water, or like a death squad sent to blow up cow dung, while these four people were outside, watching indifferently from a distance.

"It doesn't require you to be very skilled, as long as you can run."

After a pause, Yang Qinglan added: "If you can learn it, I will sit on your lap."

"Actually, I've wanted to try operating a mecha for a long time." Li Changzhou looked at the manual.

Fortunately, the game at least gives them the language and writing of this world.

Yang Qinglan pressed the corner of her mouth, a little disgusted, but also wanted to laugh.

Li Qianxia opened her mouth, but still didn't say 'you're just lustful', fearing that her brother, who was definitely not in a good mood right now, would scold her.

"It doesn't matter whether you learn it or not. Facing the Imperial mecha, no matter how strong your control skills are, it's all in vain." Beatrice's negative thoughts came back again.

"You don't understand men, princess." Li Changzhou quickly matched the controls in the manual with the buttons on the machine.

Fingers rise and fall on the buttons, setting some conventional controls into the simplest and most convenient way, a bit like playing "League of Legends" and setting quick upgrade keys, allowing players to complete skill upgrades in a fleeting battle.

The principle is roughly the same, except that the mecha's shortcut keys are more complicated, and it's not just a matter of fingers.

"Self-test program starts"

"Energy reserve 100%"

"What's over there?" The voice of a mecha walked in.

"The machine's readiness is 85%. Warning: The main weapon is missing! 』

"Nothing, just the garage." Win Caroline answered.

For civilian mechas, just missing the main weapon is not a problem at all.

"Open!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll get the keys."

"key?"

"Yes, the smart recognition system has been broken recently, and people have been coming to repair it, but the people at the repair shop have been pushing it away, saying they need to repair military equipment."

"Stop talking nonsense and go get the key!"

"Self-test completed"

"Okay!" Li Changzhou put away the keyboard and held the joystick with both hands, "Come in!"

"Really?" Yaochi didn't believe it.

Yang Qinglan jumped in and sat across Li Changzhou's lap. Li Qianxia also jumped in with Bea Tris in her arms.

Yaochi had no choice but to squeeze in.

Looking in from the outside, the driver's seat can no longer be seen, and Li Changzhou is completely wrapped in the crowd of women.

But he wasn't in the mood to feel that right now.

When you step on the pedal, the power furnace outputs power like the heart pumping blood, and you push the joystick with both hands.

Boom!

The mech stumbled forward.

"Someone is inside!" The soldiers outside were alerted.

"This door can isolate detection and laser cutting! Hurry!"

Boom!

The mecha took another step forward.

"Is it possible? If not, we'll just run away!"

Rather than believing in technology, Yaochi actually cares more about style. She would rather be exposed than squeeze into a small cockpit like a cotton swab picking out her ears.

The worst possible outcome is that the princess is killed and the main mission fails. Together with two other white card players, they go to kill a black card player who failed the same mission.

"Zi——"

The garage door was penetrated by a laser.

Li Changzhou took a short breath, stopped being cautious, and pushed the joystick firmly.

Boom! Boom!

The mecha took a big step.

Li Changzhou glanced around, and the optical sensor moved with his gaze. On the display were two cars in the garage.

He muttered: "To control both hands, release the buttons, swing the joystick, and at the same time."

Yaochi wanted to say something again, but was afraid of disturbing him, so in the end she could only ask Li Qianxia, ​​whose body was half stacked with hers.

"Is your brother okay?"

“I don’t know either, I only know that he can repair radios, TVs, washing machines, and Bully game consoles.

“When I was a kid, a boy from the same village had his game console broken by his father. My brother worked on it for a week and repaired it. However, he was too lazy to sew the casing of the game console, leaving only a motherboard, so when inserting the card, he needed to... "

Bang!

The mecha waved its hands, and the car and off-road vehicle crashed down in front of the garage door, blocking the door.

"Get to the exit!" the soldier shouted.

Boom, boom, boom. Boom! Boom!

As Li Changzhou increased the output of the power furnace, the mecha ran slightly, and the heavy exit door was directly pushed away.

Bang!

The gate fell on the road.

The brown mecha stood in front of the garage door like a giant, shining with dazzling golden light under the rising sun.
