Lu Wanqing had never played a game in the interstellar era before. Apart from secretly researching this game online by herself, this was probably her first time genuinely playing it.
After logging in, she felt a strange sense of excitement.
"Mommy, Daddy played this with me before, I know how to play," Xiao Yi said happily as soon as she appeared in the origin space, teleporting to her side.
Zhong Li Feiyu had played before too?
Lu Wanqing was surprised but then thought about it. A game related to mechas, and one that's a collaboration with the Little Mecha series, it was normal for Zhong Li Feiyu to have entered and experienced it first.
"Mhm, mhm," Lu Wanqing nodded happily, rubbing Xiao Yi's head.
Xiao Yi's in-game operations were exceptionally skilled, so much so that Lu Wanqing's eyelids twitched. Without her even needing to do anything, he took her hand and they immediately formed a team, then teleported straight into the game.
"Mommy, what mecha do you want to use?" In the main space before the game started, little Zhong Li Yi turned his head and asked his mommy.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Lu Wanqing fell silent for a long moment, then raised her hand and placed it on Xiao Yi's head, unable to resist advising him earnestly, "Xiao Yi, games are fun, but you can't get too addicted."
She remembered that when she first visited the Zhong Li family, they had been very strict with Xiao Yi. The little one didn't even understand basic operations when he went on the Star Net, but it had only been a short while, and now his movements were more skilled than hers.
Little Zhong Li Yi looked up, bewildered by what his mommy was saying.
Lu Wanqing looked at the child's eyes, her mood growing more complex. She felt that the child's significant changes couldn't solely be her responsibility.
"Daddy said this game is very good. Playing it more can train reaction and thinking," little Zhong Li Yi explained.
Zhong Li Feiyu said he could play more? Now it was Lu Wanqing's turn to be surprised.
But on closer thought, it did make sense, didn't it?
For most children, this might just be a game. But for Xiao Yi, it could be like a more agile and realistic simulated training.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed.
Little Zhong Li Yi's eyes curved slightly, then he opened the panel, letting Lu Wanqing choose, "Mommy, which mecha do you want to choose?"
Which one to choose?
Lu Wanqing had no idea at the moment. The mecha panel had many mechas, but her favorites were still the ones she had designed herself.
"Mommy, why don't you choose the Giant Panda mecha like me? The Giant Panda mecha is super powerful!!!" Little Zhong Li Yi looked at the top five little mechas on the main page, his gaze fixed on the Giant Panda mecha that belonged to him. He excitedly turned to Lu Wanqing and said.
Lu Wanqing raised her hand and chose the Little Fox mecha.
"I'll use the fox. We'll team up later. Xiao Yi, you protect Mommy, and Mommy will deal damage, how about that?" Lu Wanqing said, looking down at little Zhong Li Yi after choosing her mecha.
Little Zhong Li Yi frowned as he looked at the mecha his mommy had chosen. He was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips and said worriedly, "Mommy, this mecha isn't good?"
"Hm?
"Why?"
Lu Wanqing was surprised and looked at Xiao Yi curiously.
Little Zhong Li Yi took a deep breath and said, "Mommy, this mecha's defense is too weak, it's easy to die. I secretly tried it a few times before, and I... died very quickly."
"Pfft." Lu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh.
She raised her hand and dotingly rubbed the little one's head, saying with a smile, "It's okay, Mommy will try it first. If it's not fun, Mommy will switch to another one later."
Little Zhong Li Yi looked at his mommy, his small brow furrowed. He was very worried. Although Mommy had said before when she designed these mechas that the Little Fox and Little Phoenix operated differently from other mechas, and would be very powerful if used well, but... he had tried it, and it died very quickly!
"Okay then," little Zhong Li Yi said after a long hesitation.
Mommy seemed to really like those uniquely designed mechas. He couldn't dampen Mommy's confidence. At worst, he would protect Mommy more later. He could do it!
Xiao Yi's gaze was a little strange. Lu Wanqing couldn't help but reach out and rub the little one's head, then said with a smile, "Alright, let's begin."
"Mhm, mhm," little Zhong Li Yi nodded quickly, extremely happy.
The game start didn't require matchmaking; one could directly click to teleport into the battlefield.
Although it was Lu Wanqing's first time entering, she had watched some video materials before, so she wasn't completely unfamiliar with the game. Especially with the special hero she had chosen, the moment she landed, she immediately turned and dashed into the bushes, then activated the Little Fox mecha's bush mode to hide and test its effect.
Beside her, the Giant Panda mecha landed and instinctively turned to look beside it. He had entered as a team with Mommy, so they should appear together.
However, in the instant the Giant Panda mecha turned its head, a fluffy fox tail flashed past its eyes, and the next moment, Mommy was gone!
Little Zhong Li Yi was stunned. Where was Mommy?
The Giant Panda mecha looked around in confusion. It was looking for Mommy!
Lu Wanqing, hiding in the bushes, watched the bewildered Giant Panda ahead and felt the cub was even cuter!
"Mommy?" the Panda suddenly called out, its voice childish and incredibly cute.
Lu Wanqing, hiding in the bushes not far from little Zhong Li Yi, watched the Giant Panda mecha anxiously searching for Mommy. It didn't see her, and her heart was put at ease.
Yes, the Little Fox mecha's bush stealth effect was quite good.
But the next second, the Giant Panda mecha charged into the bushes and then saw the Little Fox mecha hiding inside. It was Mommy!
"Mommy!" little Zhong Li Yi called out happily.
Although little Zhong Li Yi hadn't reacted immediately at the start, he quickly remembered the Little Fox mecha's characteristics: concealment. Combined with what Mommy had said many times about the Little Fox mecha's ability to hide in bushes, he immediately thought of the bushes, which was why he ran towards them and then saw Mommy in the bushes!
So happy!
"Shh, don't speak," Lu Wanqing's voice came from inside the Little Fox mecha. She reminded Xiao Yi.
The Giant Panda mecha nodded, and little Zhong Li Yi's happy voice lowered, "Mhm."
He knew that talking could be heard by others. If there were others nearby, they might rush over and destroy them.
As they were talking, a Zerg suddenly approached. It was a mutated lizard.
The Giant Panda mecha turned and glanced at the Little Fox mecha beside it.
The Little Fox mecha wagged its tail, its eyes slightly narrowed, staring nervously at the mutated lizard outside.
This is a game!
It's not real!
It's playable!!!
Don't worry!
Lu Wanqing reminded herself mentally, while also thinking about how the Little Fox mecha's entire set of attacks was executed.
It's worth mentioning that as a "rogue" mecha, the Little Fox mecha's operation was simpler than other mechas. At least it didn't require as much emphasis on footwork as melee mechas. All she needed to do was...
Raise the weapon and aim!
