Kayne suddenly initiated a blink move, circling to the rear of Sally’s Mecha.
Sally stared, gaping at the now empty space in front of her, a sense of crisis rising from her back.
She should dodge, but she was still unfamiliar with operating the Mecha. She couldn’t move; her hands wouldn’t respond…
[Host, let me do it.] Xiaomei took over for Sally, controlling the console. The towering Mecha took a massive step forward, and in almost the same instant Kayne launched his attack, it executed a perfect turn.
Sally quickly regained her composure and released a Capture Net towards Kayne.
Kayne’s Mecha, unable to dodge, was enveloped by the Capture Net.
Xiaomei reminded the host [0 seconds.]
Sally breathed a sigh of relief, [Thank you, Xiaomei. I didn’t know what to do for a moment there.]
Xiaomei replied, [Practice makes perfect. Host, with more practice, make the Mecha a part of your body so that you can instinctively counterattack without your brain having to issue commands.]
Kayne also knew that time was up and allowed himself to be covered by the Capture Net, saying to Sally, “Your Sensing Power is very fast.”
“You were letting me win.” It wasn’t hers, it was Xiaomei’s. Xiaomei was a System, unaffected by any emotions in her judgments.
Controlling the Mecha, Sally turned to Instructor Willy, “Does this count as a win for me?”
“It counts.” Instructor Willy was still somewhat in disbelief. A duel that was utterly impossible to win had been won by her, especially that last move with the Capture Net, which showed Sensing Power of at least A-grade.
Sensing Power could be Innate or could evolve over time, with a standardized grading from low to high, respectively F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.
The higher the Sensing Power, the more precise and sensitive the control of the Mecha.
Corresponding to Sensing Power was the commander’s spiritual power, graded on the same scale.
“Sally, have you measured your Sensing Power before?”
“What’s Sensing Power?”
“Aren’t you a Mecha Soldier? You should measure your Sensing Power first. Based on Sensing Power, you are allocated the type of Mecha you can use. To operate practice Mechas at Xinghuang Military School, you need at least C-grade Sensing Power.”
Laxia crossed his arms, speaking somewhat indignantly. He was sure that Sally was just messing with him, pretending to understand nothing when she knew everything.
Sally had Xiaomei restore the Mecha to its original data, took off her helmet, and left the Mecha pod.
Instructor Willy ordered someone to bring in the machine to test Sensing Power.
Are they going to test her Sensing Power right here? 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Sally was also curious about what her Sensing Power was.
“Wear the Sensing Helmet, and a virtual scenario will appear. Just use your Sensing Power to attack the light points in the scenario, for one minute,” Instructor Willy told Sally.
Sally picked up the Sensing Power testing helmet, which was not much different from the Mecha helmet.
Once she put it on, indeed a virtual scenario appeared before her eyes… a desert, where her Sensing Power had turned into a small white mouse.
Seeing her beastly body, Sally was quite surprised, then controlled the little white mouse to capture those light points.
However, the light points were very responsive, some fleeing before she could even get close.
One minute had elapsed, and Sally had only caught six light points.
She removed the helmet from her head and looked at the detection machine, “I feel like it’s just a C-grade.” She said this because Laxia had mentioned that one needed at least a C-grade to operate the practice mechas at Xinghuang Military School.
“Sensing Power level is B-grade,” the detection machine announced Sally’s Sensing Power level.
Sally was somewhat surprised, “Not too bad.”
The virtual scenario on the detection machine was public, and everyone could see it.
Instructor Willy watched Sally with a serious gaze and asked solemnly, “Is Student Sally a Variant Human or an ordinary person?”
“A Variant Human,” she replied accurately. To be exact, a Beastman.
Sally immediately realized their gaze towards her had changed, slightly perplexed, “Is there something wrong? Aren’t you also Variant Humans?”
Since they had lost the support of the Main System’s data strength, Xiaomei saw no need to scan the surrounding information anymore.
At the moment, they were clearly missing some essential data.
Xiaomei immediately started an information scan.
It turned out that, in the Star World, female Variant Humans were a very special existence.
For nearly three hundred years, the number of female Variant Humans had been on the decline. They were frail and weak, unable to naturally conceive children and could only extract eggs for artificial external gestation.
If an ordinary family had a female Variant Human, they could look forward to glorifying their family and soaring to great heights. Even down-and-out noble families could make a huge comeback.
Chexus approached Sally, “Whose family do you belong to?”
Typically, female Variant Humans were treasured like jewels within their families, hardly ever allowed outside. And with such an excellent physical constitution, they were even rarer.
Xiaomei excitedly relayed the information about female Variant Humans to Sally.
Sally understood, this was just another Beast World. Female Variant Humans, similar to females with high Fertility Strength.
No wonder Xiaomei suddenly became so excited and active, the Offspring System only showed great enthusiasm in worlds with fertility issues.
“I’m wild,” Sally replied. “You do keep your word, don’t you? If I win, you give us the mechas and supplies.”
As for Kayne, although he had lost and was initially slightly frustrated, he now felt immensely relieved. If he had seriously hurt Sally, that would mean injuring a female Variant Human.
He would have been vilified by public opinion, since female Variant Humans were just too precious and beyond imagination.
“Your Highness, her beastly form… it kind of resembles that little white rat you found on the garbage star,” someone remarked.
Chexus looked at Sally but said nothing.
Suddenly, Doronite coughed and straightened his training uniform. For the first time, he found it ugly, believing it couldn’t showcase his handsome features, “I saw that Sally’s Sensing Power was of a rodent form, but after mutation, is it still a rodent?”
Rodents are great!
One of the species with the strongest fertility, no wonder her physical constitution was so good. If he could have her and bear several Variant Human offspring with her, the Prince title would surely be his.
Not only was he thinking this way, but even Akaya Toru, who had spoken out of turn earlier, was filled with regret and slapped himself on the mouth.
“Yes,” Sally hadn’t expected the Sensing Power detector to also analyze beast forms, a real oversight. Nor had she anticipated the special status of female Variant Humans.
Laxia finally snapped out of her shock, glanced at Sally, then at the practice mechas, a sly look flickering in her eyes, “In order to protect a precious female Variant Human, shouldn’t Xinghuang Military School send us a set of your latest model practice mechas along with the materials and supplies we require?”
Laxia printed out a list of supplies using her light-brain and handed it over to Sally.
“I should clarify, I don’t need anyone’s protection,” Sally said, glancing at the list, which included many mecha parts and even items that could be used with the Blue Crystal T7, before happily passing it to Instructor Willy, “Instructor Willy, please have a look. If there are no issues, I’d like to have these sent to the independent military district’s station.”
