Every time this notion popped into Zhao Jun’s mind, he would find himself extremely baffled. It should be known that one’s core mecha should be the strongest mecha among all the mecha one possessed. Yet, his good friend, Li Lanfeng, went against the grain, choosing the weakest rabbit mecha as his core mecha. What hidden charisma did the rabbit mecha have? Enough to cause Li Lanfeng to be so fond of it, to the extent that he would do such an insane thing?

In response to his good friend’s questions, Li Lanfeng was as unforthcoming as usual.

Zhao Jun was already used to it by this point, and so did not really expect Li Lanfeng to suddenly have a fit of kindness and tell him his thoughts. He casually continued to say, “Lanfeng, that rabbit mecha operator’s abilities seem to be pretty good. Even in standby mode, he has set the rabbit mecha to rest in an extremely cute manner. Twitching its head and nibbling on a carrot, very interesting!”

Li Lanfeng jerked. “What?”

Zhao Jun sad, “Huh?”

“What did you just say?” Li Lanfeng did not seem to have heard what Zhao Jun had to say clearly, asking him to repeat himself.

Zhao Jun racked his brains to think back on what he had said, and then offered somewhat uncertainly, “About that rabbit mecha being interesting? How its standby action is to twitch its head and nibble a carrot?” Was this what he had said earlier?

Li Lanfeng only responded to this after a long while. “That is indeed very interesting!”

Zhao Jun glanced dubiously at Li Lanfeng. His good friend’s voice sounded a little hoarse — could it be that he had caught a cold from enjoying the breeze with him last night? Zhao Jun suddenly felt guilty. If he had not been so restless, he would not have pulled Li Lanfeng along with him to the top of the high tower to enjoy the night breeze.

Li Lanfeng did not know what Zhao Jun was thinking. Inside his mecha’s cockpit, his gaze became unfathomable, as if he were recalling something.

At this moment, Ling Lan had long arrived at the mission hall, and was currently resting with her eyes closed. Of course, she was not killing time — it was just that there was already a diligent little worker Little Four helping her sift through the hundreds and thousands of available missions to pick those most suited for her. Leaving Little Four to it was clearly much more professional and efficient than if she were to do it herself.

Like right now, it had only been 30 seconds when Little Four’s smug voice rang out within her mindspace. “Boss, I’ve found it.”

“What do you have?” said Ling Lan with an approving expression as she stroked Little Four’s head.

Little Four was all smiles as he basked in his boss’s affection, replying, “There is only one player-assigned mission, while there are three special missions from the system. They all suit us very well, and don’t seem to require much time or effort. Of course, the points given are also not bad.” With a wave of his hand, a sheet of white paper appeared in Little Four’s hand, which he then passed to Ling Lan. Little Four felt that the information was too detailed to explain clearly, so he decided to just use text to display what he had found.

Ling Lan accepted the paper and saw the following written on it:

Special System Mission:

1) Find the missing ‘starlight conversion power core’ of Three-Seas Town, allowing Three-Seas Town to possess night-time defensive ability! Reward — 1 mecha starlight conversion power core (equipment adapted for mecha use); 500 points.
