The entire family had a clear goal and soon left together. Sitting in the hovercar, Lu Wanqing could clearly feel the anticipation of Xiao Yi and Zhongli Feiyu. That kind of happy, hopeful emotion was truly infectious, making those around them feel happy and joyful as well.
Lu Wanqing’s lips curved into a smile. They unconsciously arrived at the Mu Corporation, and the hovercar stopped at the company entrance. The family of three alighted from the car.
Little Zhongli Yi looked up at the Mu Corporation’s signboard, full of curiosity.
Zhongli Feiyu also looked at the company before him, his heart filled with hope.
“Mommy, is this where the test is?” Little Zhongli Yi asked his mother, tilting his head.
Lu Wanqing rubbed her child’s head and smiled, nodding, “Yes, it’s here.”
“Let’s go in,” Lu Wanqing said.
Just as Lu Wanqing finished speaking, Mu Sijie emerged from the company. Seeing them, Mu Sijie’s face broke into a smile, “You’re here? Come in quickly.”
Zhongli Feiyu led them, and the group entered the company together. As they entered the elevator, Mu Sijie couldn’t help but lower his gaze to look at little Zhongli Yi, who was constantly by their side.
Although the result was as expected, seeing the light in Zhongli Yi’s eyes, different from before, still deeply shook him. Lu Wanqing was truly an extraordinary mother. Wherever she was, her children seemed to feel a boundless love, and their personalities became sunny and joyful.
“Would you like to rest for a while, or go directly for the test?” Mu Sijie asked.
Zhongli Feiyu and little Zhongli Yi both looked at Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing lowered her gaze and asked Xiao Yi, “Xiao Yi, are you tired? Do you want to rest a bit?”
“Not tired.” Little Zhongli Yi quickly shook his head, seeing his mommy’s concern.
Lu Wanqing smiled and looked up at Mu Sijie, saying, “Then let’s proceed directly to the test.”
The mecha had been built, and she was now eager to test it. If the mecha had no problems, it could be given to Xiao Yi to play with.
“Alright,” Mu Sijie nodded with a smile.
However, as he agreed, Mu Sijie subtly glanced at Zhongli Feiyu beside him, then back at Lu Wanqing. A while ago, Zhongli Feiyu had started a group chat, announcing his intention to marry Lu Wanqing, which he hadn’t forgotten. He couldn’t help but discreetly observe the relationship between Lu Wanqing and Zhongli Feiyu. Based on their interactions lately, surely Wanqing and Zhongli Feiyu hadn’t developed any romantic feelings yet?
Zhongli Feiyu and Lu Wanqing stood apart, not appearing intimate at all. Mu Sijie saw this and felt his mood lighten considerably.
The elevator soon stopped, and they reached the seventeenth floor. Mu Sijie said to Lu Wanqing and Zhongli Feiyu, “We’re here, let’s go out.”
Lu Wanqing nodded, “Mmm.”
Lu Wanqing’s heart also began to race. The test was about to begin. Surely the mecha would be fine, right?
The previous few mechas she had built had no issues. Logically, she shouldn’t be worried. She needed to be more confident in herself, but when faced with things, the brain often didn’t listen to reason, and she felt anxious.
Mu Sijie was more familiar with the internal workings here. They followed Mu Sijie and entered.
“How will the test be conducted?” Lu Wanqing finally asked the question on her mind.
“First, place the mecha on the platform,” Mu Sijie said, looking towards the training ground and turning to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing nodded quickly. She took out her space buckle, walked to the center of the training ground, and released the mecha.
Lu Wanqing released the Great Panda mecha and then looked up at Mu Sijie, “Should the Phoenix be released now as well?”
“Not for now. We’ll test one mecha at a time, in sequence,” Mu Sijie replied.
“Okay,” Lu Wanqing said.
Since there was nothing else for her to do, Lu Wanqing stood on the platform, suddenly unsure of what to do.
The training ground was suddenly filled with many people, presumably professional testing personnel from the Mu Corporation. Some testers began examining the Great Panda. After each check, they reported the findings, confirming no issues. Nearby, dedicated staff meticulously recorded the test results.
After the mecha inspection was complete, the actual testing began. Mu Sijie produced a space buckle and released a small robot. Lu Wanqing observed this small robot and noticed it was about the same height as Xiao Yi and Lan Lan, likely designed according to a child’s height proportions.
The cockpit of the Great Panda opened, and the small robot quickly crawled inside.
Mu Sijie then instructed the staff present, “Alright, everyone, please withdraw for now.”
After speaking, Mu Sijie turned to Lu Wanqing and Zhongli Feiyu, saying, “We’ll step out for a moment. Next, we’ll observe the mecha’s performance in the training ground.”
“Mmm,” Lu Wanqing nodded.
Lu Wanqing, accompanied by little Zhongli Yi, Zhongli Feiyu, Mu Sijie, and other Mu Corporation staff, all retreated from the training platform.
After they moved away, a transparent protective shield, resembling glass, quickly rose around the training platform to prevent the mecha from going out of control and harming the staff outside.
Outside the field, Lu Wanqing held little Zhongli Yi’s hand. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Great Panda mecha on the platform. As the small robot’s test program activated, the mecha on the platform began to move. It walked, turned, and leaped. Each movement was fluid, with no apparent issues. The internal systems of the mecha also remained safe, with the small robot emitting no alarm sounds.
After the basic performance tests were completed, the next phase was the strength, speed, and defense tests.
The glass shield was lowered, and in the next moment, several work robots pushed a strength testing instrument in.
Lu Wanqing watched intently until the robots escorting the equipment departed, the transparent glass shield was raised again, and the secondary testing commenced.
The Great Panda raised its hand and delivered a powerful punch to the strength testing instrument. Instantly, with a crack, the strength testing instrument shattered.
Mu Sijie shot to his feet, staring at the scene inside in utter shock.
“How is this possible?” Mu Sijie exclaimed incredulously.
Lu Wanqing’s heart pounded. When designing the mecha, she had considered the Great Panda’s personality and intentionally made some special modifications to enhance its offensive capabilities, particularly its power! In simple terms, its strength! A single punch from the Great Panda could knock an enemy down!
Although she had imagined this possibility, seeing it realized firsthand made Lu Wanqing’s lips curl into an irrepressible smile of joy.
Zhongli Feiyu was also stunned. Not for any other reason than the fact that his own mecha, the S-class Flying Eagle, could not achieve such a result! Was the mecha Lu Wanqing designed for Xiao Yi this formidable? Zhongli Feiyu's heart thumped. Don’t ask why; just know that he suddenly felt like snatching the mecha from his child!
“Mommy, the Great Panda is so amazing!!!” Little Zhongli Yi also reacted. Looking at the Great Panda mecha on the platform, his heart pounded, and he was overjoyed. This was a mecha designed and built by his mommy with her own hands. It was so powerful, and he loved it so much!
“Yes, the Great Panda is very powerful,” Lu Wanqing replied with a smile. She looked down at little Zhongli Yi, also feeling happy.
Little Zhongli Yi tilted his head and looked at his mommy, beaming, “Mommy, I really like the Great Panda!”
“Mr. Mu, what do we do now?” A Mu Corporation employee, witnessing this scene for the first time, asked Mu Sijie nervously and cautiously for his instructions.
Mu Sijie glanced at Lu Wanqing and then said, “Continue with the next test.”
