Chapter 22

Mad dog

A certain name just flashed through his mind, but when he tried to confirm it carefully, he couldn't recall.

He had seen too many mecha files in the KID Base, some he recognized, others he didn't. A lot of information was mixed together, and he remembered that particular file only because of that incident.

He recalled that in KID's mecha Artillery file, something seemed to be annotated with an electronic pen.

What was it? He pondered with a lowered head.

Others pursued Shen Xingtang, asking who the new mecha Artillery was. Shen Xingtang simply stated that they would find out tomorrow, adding an air of mystery.

"I always found that last mecha Artillery mysterious. Is it the one Sister Tang mentioned?" Ji Qingfeng said, pulling Jiang Simiao into gossip.

Jiang Simiao forced a smile, "Maybe it's him."

Lin Yao excitedly exclaimed, "That person is amazing! I feel like he's more reliable than Xu Yaojun!"

Ji Qingfeng: "Has that brother played in our league before? Last time I checked the transfer window news, it seemed like all the mecha pilots transferred to the Dawn Star System on our side have been confirmed. Could it be players from other star domains or systems?"

Jiang Simiao didn't know how to explain to them, so he had to say, "The new mecha pilot is not from another star system; he's a compatriot from Huaxia. He used to be a mecha pilot in the Dawn Star System but retired for some reasons. That's why there was no news about him in the transfer window."

Ji Qingfeng: "Retired? Sister Tang wouldn't find someone older, would she?"

Jiang Simiao: "...Are you discriminating against older people?"

"Of course not. I didn't even mention Old Huo being 28; men get better with age," Ji Qingfeng smoothly continued, "It's just unfortunate for him to re-employ here."

"He's only 24." Jiang Simiao felt a headache. "Never mind, you'll know when he arrives tomorrow."

Ying Chenlin sat nearby listening to their conversation, and soon his light brain rang. It was time for his medication, so he excused himself and returned to his room.

This kind of leaving without saying a word happened many times. In recent days, Ying Chenlin either stayed in the maintenance room or the dormitory in the base. Everyone in the base was familiar with each other, and encountering such a reserved and quiet maintenance worker was a bit unusual for Ji Qingfeng: "Does Lin Di seem to be having trouble adjusting to the pace here?"

Jiang Simiao couldn't hold back: "You're even calling him 'Di' now?"

Ji Qingfeng: "He's younger than me. I even call Lin Yao 'baby.' Speaking of which, is he not in good health? We don't have a doctor in our base, and I saw him injecting medication last time."

Jiang Simiao didn't say anything. Regarding Ying Chenlin's background, he and Shen Xingtang also had suspicions. But considering that he was willing to provide such important technical components, his sincerity was already commendable. Suspecting others would be ungrateful.

Moreover, in the days they spent together recently, Ying Chenlin was not someone who spoke much.

Shen Xingtang had also specifically instructed them to take care of the young KID. "The medication he injects should be a neural stabilizer. Changing prosthetics is not as easy as you imagine. If the fusion is not high, the pain at the amputation site is constant." Jiang Simiao warned, "You two big strong men, try not to bump into him, okay?"
