Yu Nong and Wei Xingzhou reached an agreement, and the two decided to work together to "steal" Lu Wanqing out.
In the outer rim of the galaxy.
A four-year-old boy with red hair was squatting in front of a dilapidated star net pod, impatiently urging the middle-aged man who was repairing it, "Hurry up and fix it, or I'll throw you into space to feed the Zerg!"
The middle-aged man's face turned pale upon hearing this, and he quickly agreed, "Okay, it'll be ready soon." His trembling voice revealed his fear.
The middle-aged man was indeed terrified. The hand holding the tools was shaking as he anxiously repaired the broken star net pod. In front of him squatted a little boy with red hair, and behind the boy stood four tall men. They were space pirates!
Guy Harvey pursed his lips, his small brow furrowed tightly. From time to time, he raised his wrist to check the time on his optical terminal.
A long time had passed. It had been nearly an hour since the Mu family's Super 3S mech launch conference began. He was extremely anxious and wanted to go online.
When he went out to buy snacks today, he saw huge holographic advertisements on the roadside. The Mu family was holding a press conference today to officially launch their Super 3S mech – the King. And this mech was designed by his mommy!
As time ticked by, after an unknown period, the middle-aged man finally put down his tools.
The red-haired little boy quickly asked, "Is it done?"
The middle-aged man trembled with fear and quickly nodded, "Yes, it's done!"
The red-haired little boy grinned and said happily, "I'm going to try it!"
Little Harvey, as he spoke, reached out and opened the star net pod, then impatiently lay inside. The middle-aged man stood by, watching nervously as the little pirate closed the star net pod.
The middle-aged man was very scared now. His calves were trembling, and he cautiously and furtively glanced at the big pirates beside him who were protecting the little pirate. Cold sweat was already breaking out on his back.
What if it wasn't fixed?
What if something went wrong?
Would these pirates kill him?
The four adult space pirates who had been following behind did not move. They simply stood guard nearby, watching their young master log into the star net.
Space pirates were different from ordinary people. They could not reveal their identities, otherwise, if discovered by the Federation, they would send an army to arrest them, or even annihilate them!
Their pirate crew also had star net pods. Those star net pods were specially modified to avoid the Federation's main brain's ID detection. Unfortunately, due to an accident a while ago, they were accidentally damaged, so they couldn't get online even on their own spaceship.
Originally, everyone felt it was no big deal. It's just a few days without the star net, no harm done. But today, seeing the news related to his mommy on the roadside, little Harvey became excited. He couldn't hold back at all. He wanted to log into the star net immediately; he wanted to watch the live broadcast!
Was that the mech designed by his mommy?
His mommy was so amazing!
Meanwhile, Lu Wanqing was also browsing the star net in her avatar. She had been eating and traveling around happily during this period, but despite her happiness, she always felt something was missing.
Lu Wanqing felt an emptiness in her heart, but upon careful thought, she couldn't pinpoint what it was. Could it be a boyfriend?
She thought blankly, wandering aimlessly on the street. Suddenly, a little child with red hair rushed over and bumped into her hard.
Lu Wanqing stumbled, and her body was sent flying to the side.
The red-haired little boy seemed to sense something, stopped, and glanced at her. However, it was only a glance, and he quickly ran away!
Lu Wanqing was stunned, then became angry. Hey, you bumped into me and didn't apologize. Don't think I won't hold you accountable just because you're a child!
"Hey! Stop!"
Lu Wanqing shouted and chased after him.
Actually, it wasn't entirely about the apology. This child was small, about the same size as Mu Lan. Lu Wanqing guessed he was probably also four years old this year. Seeing him alone on the star net, running around erratically, her heart was inexplicably touched, and she felt worried.
What were this child's parents thinking?
How could they let such a young child log into the star net alone?
Although everything on the star net was virtual and would not harm the person even if injured, everything here was too real. What if the child was deceived by someone?
The boy, though small, ran very fast. Lu Wanqing saw that she was about to lose him and felt an instinctive urgency. She gritted her teeth, summoning all her strength, and chased after him desperately.
Fortunately, at the next intersection, she saw the little boy again and didn't lose him.
At the same time, Lu Wanqing confirmed that this child was indeed alone. There were no other adults accompanying him. She was extremely worried!
This area was all mech malls. The screens on the roadside were now broadcasting the live scene of the press conference. The red-haired little boy rushed into the crowd and looked up at the broadcast, his eyes wide open, nervously watching the Super 3S mech in the testing segment of the press conference battle other mechs!
"Wow! Amazing!" Seeing the Super 3S mech easily defeat its opponent with one move, the little guy immediately jumped up excitedly, his whole body bouncing. He was extremely thrilled!
Lu Wanqing anxiously chased after him and finally reached the little boy, panting heavily.
But seeing the little guy staring excitedly at the live broadcast of the Super 3S mech defeating other mechs, she inexplicably felt like smiling.
How old was this child? Yet he loved Super 3S mechs.
"So powerful! Beat him to death!" The red-haired little boy stared at the broadcast, a small child gesturing with his hands and raising his little fists in a striking pose, desperately trying to direct the Super 3S mech in the live broadcast.
Lu Wanqing inexplicably stopped being anxious. After a moment of thought, seeing the little boy engrossed in the broadcast, she took out a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.
Lu Wanqing ate the virtual candy on the star net while watching the four-year-old child get excited about the Super 3S mech.
She actually didn't quite understand. Were Super 3S mechs really that powerful? Even four-year-old children liked them so much!
As time passed, Lu Wanqing grew tired of standing. She thought for a moment and decided to borrow a stool from a nearby shop, placed it next to the child, and then gently tugged at the little boy.
Harvey's body immediately tensed instinctively when he was suddenly pulled, and he looked at Lu Wanqing warily.
Seeing the child's defensive posture, Lu Wanqing found it amusing. She ruffled the child's red hair and smiled, saying, "Do you want to sit down and watch together?"
This child had been standing for a long time. Was he tired?
Little Harvey hadn't felt tired before, but looking at this "big sister," he didn't sense any malice in her eyes. He also remembered that this was the star net, and no one here knew him. After hesitating for a moment, he finally sat down on the "big sister's" stool.
"That Super 3S mech was designed by my mommy!" Little Harvey couldn't help but say, as soon as he sat down, boasting to the "big sister" beside him.
