Chapter 8, 008 "Did you watch today's match?"
"Just like all political dramas, the current ruler is old and incompetent, while the heirs - the eldest prince, an Alpha, is dull and unambitious; the second prince, a Beta, is brave and cunning but has been deemed to possess violent genes; and the remaining princess, gentle and kind-hearted, is an Omega without inheritance rights.
Inside the white-walled and golden-tiled capital city, the situation is ambiguous. Officials scheme against each other, though it may not be apparent on the surface, it is exposed in this mecha competition. Even the common people on distant planets with low political sensitivity can sense that something is amiss.
"Strange, I've never seen this model of mecha before," a shabby bearded man in a bar pointed at the promotional video playing on the TV, featuring the handsome Feng Du standing next to two powerful mechas known as the Ten Stellar Guardians.
"I've never seen this model before," someone nearby chuckled. "You're just a repairman who has never left this starry sea. How would you know what mechas are popular among the elites in the capital city?"
The repairman replied seriously, "Although I haven't been outside, I am a competent mecha repairman. For us in this profession, knowing mecha models is like knowing what chopsticks and bowls we use for eating. Look at this one, it's majestic in white, with a slender figure. Under the left wing is the DSY-circular jet nozzle, which is a quark-level energy outlet that can block all prying senses when activated. And if you look closely, you'll see a one-inch hidden Mokelis sword on its foot."
"Ah! The Mokelis sword! That's. . ." The Mokelis sword is taken from an ancient fairy tale on the Blue Star.
In the original fairy tale, in an ancient country, a minister envied the emperor's status as Mokelis. So the emperor let the minister sit on the emperor's throne to experience it. The minister found a sword hanging above his head, suspended by a single strand of hair, and finally understood.
After the birth of the new humans, in order to teach future generations the importance of being vigilant and unyielding, the engineers involved in the production of the Ten Stellar Guardians installed the unique Mokelis sword on each mecha. Since then, the Mokelis sword has become one of the symbols of the Ten Stellar Guardians.
"That's right, it's one of our Ten Stellar Guardians. If I'm not mistaken, this is the 'Concealment' mecha, named 'Luohe'," said the bearded man, who was also a well-known repairman on the K-33666 planet. When he stopped joking, everyone felt that what he said made sense.
Feng Wu sat in the corner of the bar, glanced at the elegant Wei Zhouchi standing next to 'Luohe', smiled, and continued watching TV.
On the highly anticipated arena, the commentator enthusiastically introduced the match between the fifteenth and sixteenth ranked contestants. Feng Wu glanced at the leaderboard and saw that the top-ranked Wei Zhouchi was far ahead. As a user of Luohe, he possessed excellent physical and potential abilities, so it was expected that he would be in the lead. Below him was Duan Shaoxiu.
Strictly speaking, Duan Shaoxiu was not one of the ten noble heirs, nor did he possess the flashy and powerful Ten Stellar Guardians. However, his exceptional talent and diligent training placed him in this position without a doubt.
Next was the female protagonist, Song Jiaojiao. In the original book, Song Jiaojiao had a sensitive and studious personality. If the top Alphas in the empire had a talent level of five in mecha piloting, she had a talent level of nine, with one point deducted by the author to prevent her from becoming arrogant.
Scattered throughout the leaderboard were several names that Feng Wu found familiar but couldn't quite match with their titles. She continued scrolling down and finally saw Feng Du's name near the end of the top sixteen. He had spent his childhood wandering and had not received the education befitting a noble, nor had he systematically studied mecha piloting. Compared to others who showcased flashy attack techniques, his attacks were simple yet deadly.
