Lu Wanqing looked at Shushu and said, "Let's go together!"
Xiao Yu Shu immediately nodded, "Mm!"
Thus, the two foxes went out together. Each took on a set and managed to drain ninety-nine percent of the mutant ant's health.
Only one percent remained. What to do?
Lu Wanqing pondered for a moment, then grabbed a wrench and charged forward, bringing it down with a single strike. A basic attack!
Still not dead?
Then another strike!
Still not dead after two hits?
Xiao Yu Shu bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and smashed it hard onto the mutant ant. Another basic attack. The mutant ant fell, dropping a treasure chest!
Lu Wanqing's eyes lit up. She immediately said, "Shushu, come quickly, let's pick up the treasure chest!"
Xiao Yu Shu was also super happy and hurried over.
Xiao Yu Shu didn't even know how to open a treasure chest. Lu Wanqing had to teach her hand-in-hand, showing the little one how to pick it up, open it, and store any excess equipment or medicine obtained from the chest into the system's built-in backpack. In the words of the interstellar era, that was a spatial buckle!
Xiao Yu Shu learned quickly. After putting away the medicine, her entire being, oh wait, her entire little fox's eyes sparkled. She was incredibly happy!
The treasure chest was secured. Lu Wanqing glanced around and quickly led Xiao Yu Shu further ahead.
As they walked, a mech with critically low health suddenly appeared around a corner. Lu Wanqing was startled. Before her brain could even process, her body reacted reflexively, unleashing a full combo on the opponent!
Xiao Yu Shu was also frightened. The little fox instinctively retreated, moving far away.
After the opponent's mech fell, Lu Wanqing came back to her senses. Xiao Yu Shu, who had dodged, also recovered and quickly returned to her mother's side.
Lu Wanqing calmed down and cautiously looked at the fallen comrade before her. However, her caution only lasted a second. She quickly reacted and took out her tools, ready to dismantle the mech cockpit!
Inside the cockpit, Xiao He stared at the game name above Lu Wanqing's head in disbelief. It was her again, that rogue from this morning!!!
Seeing Lu Wanqing already holding tools to dismantle the mech, he quickly exclaimed, "Hey, don't dismantle it, don't dismantle it! Bro, brother, oh no, sister, please don't bother. I'll come out myself. I'll give you all my stuff!"
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Lu Wanqing was surprised, then watched as the cockpit door of the mech opened by itself. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth emerged.
This youth…
Good, Lu Wanqing remembered him. He was the first one who had robbed her and Xiao Yi that morning!
Xiao He scrambled out of the mech cockpit and quickly looked at the fox mech in front of him. He stared at its name many times.
Yes, there was no spacebar, no punctuation, no random symbols, and no suffix. This was the person who had robbed him that morning, no, the person he had robbed, and then who had robbed him back.
When they were in the game, he had a hunch that such skillful operations from this big shot would definitely become popular if they were streamed.
But Xiao He hadn't expected the big shot to become famous so quickly, even faster than he had predicted. In just one morning, he had watched in amazement as the big shot appeared on the forum, then followed the forum videos to watch various streamers, becoming more engrossed and addicted with each watch. He couldn't help but laugh like an idiot alone in his star net pod.
However, the joy he felt that morning was replaced by despair when he entered the game that afternoon. After the big shot became famous, the rogues in the game had multiplied.
He fell into traps with every step, and was ambushed around every corner. A clump of grass by the roadside, a tree, a large rock – anything could scare him half to death.
In just two hours, he had died five times. It was despairing!
But fortunately, under such devilish ambushes, he had also improved.
His reaction time was now more sensitive, and his actions were more cautious than before.
Just now, he had successfully dodged the sneak attacks of two rogues!
Even though he was left with only a sliver of health, he had managed to escape!
If it weren't for that corner, and encountering the big shot again, he would have been fine after drinking a health potion!
This youth was a bit strange, but why would he refuse a mech and equipment that were already in his grasp?
Lu Wanqing went to examine the mech cockpit. But upon looking, her eyes narrowed. She turned back, looking at the youth with suspicion.
Seeing Lu Wanqing's gaze, Xiao He quickly raised his hands and said loudly, "I swear, I don't have any equipment on me."
"And no health potions either!" he quickly added.
After saying this, Xiao He couldn't help but complain, "Big shot, it's not my fault, really. Your skills are so amazing, you're already famous online. Now, many people are imitating you. As soon as we enter the game, it's full of rogues. I've died five times in the five matches I've played this afternoon..."
Lu Wanqing also fell silent. If the youth had found other excuses, she might not have believed him. But this excuse was truly irrefutable.
She and Shushu had been ambushed right after logging in. It was too cowardly, she didn't want to mention it!
"I'll be taking the mech too," Lu Wanqing said after a moment of silence.
Although the mech was damaged, some parts could still be salvaged after dismantling.
Xiao He immediately reacted and nodded eagerly, "Okay, yes, fine. Big shot, please go ahead!"
As he spoke, Xiao He made an inviting gesture.
Lu Wanqing: "..." It was just strange.
Although it was strange, she had defeated him herself, and it was only right to collect the spoils of war.
Lu Wanqing squatted down and continued to dismantle the mech.
Xiao He immediately squatted beside her, watching curiously. This was a big shot, a legendary mech pilot. He had never seen a mech pilot like this before, and now he was meeting one in a game.
While watching, Xiao He babbled, "Big shot, can we be friends?"
"You see, we met this morning, and we met again this afternoon. This is fate, isn't it?"
"If you like mechs, I can buy a few more for you. We can play together sometime."
As he spoke, Xiao He couldn't help but look at the other little fox beside them – Xiao Shushu.
"Hi, Big Shot 2, hello! Were you the one using the panda mech this morning? You hit me a few times, it really hurt."
"But you were so amazing! With just a few hits, you flattened me. I was at full health then, and I had a lot of equipment! I thought I was super powerful, that no one could beat me!"
Xiao Yu Shu was a little bewildered when suddenly addressed. "I... I wasn't playing the game this morning."
Lu Wanqing also turned to look at the youth and said, "It wasn't her this morning."
"Ah?" The youth was confused. He looked at Lu Wanqing's little fox, then back at Xiao Yu Shu's little fox, utterly bewildered.
The youth quickly recovered. He looked at Lu Wanqing, his eyes shining, "So, Big Shot, you just changed companions in half a day?"
"Then, do you think I could be your companion?"
"Me! I also want to team up with you. How about we play together next match?"
The youth excitedly recommended himself. Even if he wasn't streaming, playing games with a big shot would be awesome, right? At least he could secretly record it and show it to his friends later, boasting for half a year, no, a year!
With the big shot's amazing moves, teaming up with her would surely allow him to brag to his friends for at least a year!
This was absolutely excellent!!!
