Chapter 297: Chapter 295 Continuing the Unfinished Journey
“Sorry,” Sally looked into his eyes, her mind filled with memories of her past with Zulu.
“It’s okay, being forcibly kissed by a Variant Human woman is something to boast about,” he knew she must have mistaken him for a substitute.
“Heh~” Sally chuckled, removed her white bracelet, took his hand, and placed it in his palm, “I’m giving this to you, take good care of yourself. I have some things to handle, so I’m going to leave first.”
Mecha was just her hobby, something she could immerse herself in for fun, but when real trouble came, relying on it could become a hindrance instead.
She had her own Innate Secret Technique, which was more than enough to deal with the Insect Beasts. Especially her Fire Elemental Power, which was even more effective than the shells.
Rather than study mecha, it would be better to open all those scrolls in her space that upgraded innate abilities and improve her own Secret Technique.
As for Luky, no matter how much he resembled Zulu, he was not Zulu. She couldn’t look for a substitute just because she missed someone; it wasn’t fair to anyone.
She teleported away.
When she reappeared, she was standing in a higher void, overlooking the entire Belman Planet.
The areas where the Insect Beasts appeared were dull and desolate, while the areas without them were lush and vibrant, the contrast was quite clear.
[Xiaomei?]Sally called out.
[Here.] Xiaomei responded.
Sally was taken aback; she had just called out of habit.
[Aren’t you updating?]
[I have finished updating. Host, there is good news.] Xiaomei sounded very happy.
[What’s the good news?]
[Xiaomei killed a System original virus, obtaining a large amount of data source blocks. The Time-Space Conveyance Machine has been copied; you can proceed to Earth World again.]
[How did you kill it?]
[That Laxia.]
[Laxia? What happened to him? Oh right, he shouldn’t be the real Laxia.]
[Yes, it is a System virus.]
[…Tell me the details.]
[All right. Please eat more, host. Your sixteenth offspring has begun to develop. Don’t starve him anymore.]
[Okay.] Sally ate two Chaos Fruits. This act of eating surprisingly triggered her appetite, and a surge of hunger came upon her…
[Why am I suddenly hungry?]
[Previously, due to your unstable emotions, you were in a very down state, and the fetus did not develop. Your desire for Luky has caused the fetus to be affected by your positive emotions and hence begin its development.]
[Is it really because of my emotions?] Sally suddenly felt very sorry for the child.
[The host should maintain a very pleasant mood, which is not only good for the host’s body but also for the fetus.]
[I know.] Sally tried not to let her mood worsen and began to take food from her space to eat, [Talk about the System now.]
It turned out that Sally’s arrival, especially Xiaomei’s data collecting, had released System information.
The System virus hidden deep within the planet was activated.
The so-called Insect Emperor was the System`s original virus. It wanted to capture Xiaomei and devour her, so it released many virus Insect Beasts.
After Laxia hugged Xiaoba, Xiaomei scanned him with data. Laxia thought Xiaoba was Xiaomei and repeatedly probed Xiaoba, even contacting the Insect Emperor to confirm if Xiaoba was the Xiaomei the Insect Emperor was after.
Instead, Xiaomei made use of the situation by following the connection between Laxia and the Insect Emperor, successfully locating the Insect Emperor.
Xiaomei invaded the body of the Insect Emperor and fought fiercely with it. To avoid distracting Sally, the System temporarily displayed a ‘system update’ status.
In the end, Xiaomei triumphed, obtaining a rich data source block and finishing the Time-Space Conveyance Machine, thereby gaining the strength to continue the journey toward Earth.
[You’ve worked hard, Xiaomei.] Sally felt deeply moved. Xiaomei had risked so much, braving the lair of the Insect Emperor, just to complete the Time-Space Conveyance Machine and send her back to Earth.
[Xiaomei promised the host and delivered. Shall we leave now?] Xiaomei asked.
Sally saw many mechas flying away in succession, while the dark spread from the Insect Beasts’ side had also stopped spreading.
She teleported to where the spread of the Insect Beasts had halted and saw that all the Insect Beasts were dead.
[These were virus Insect Beasts, also a type of system virus, but far less formidable than those of the Beast World, though of the same nature.] Xiaomei replied.
Sally responded, [Just like the Offspring Virus you killed in the Dark Continent.]
[Yes, Host. However, this Insect Emperor had been lurking with the planetary virus for many years, accumulating a lot of energy, worthy of a battle.]
Sally laughed, [You decided to take action when you saw the opportunity for profit, didn’t you?]
[Hehe~ It’s also like helping the Star World by removing a major threat. The baby in the Host’s womb will receive quite a lot of virtue from living creatures.] Xiaomei’s voice was very cheerful, clearly looking forward to the progeny from her own System.
[Oh? Why isn’t it me who receives the virtue when I have you bound to me?]
[Xiaomei is the Offspring System, naturally fighting the Insect Emperor to protect the offspring in the host’s womb. Any virtue gained is for the offspring.]
[I wonder what kind of innate talent a baby with virtue will have?] Sally was secretly expectant, hoping it wouldn’t be like Xiaoba—a stubborn egg, reluctant to emerge from its shell.
[Unfortunately, there are no point rewards anymore.]
[It doesn’t matter. I really like the civilization of this world. I want to explore this Star World a bit more.]
[Is it because you can’t bear to leave Luky? Host, if you wish to mate with him, that’s also possible, and a good mood is beneficial for the fetus’s development.]
[Since I’m going to leave, I certainly will not stir up any more trouble. I just want to walk around with Xiaoba, enjoying a good mood without necessarily needing passion.]
[But passion can bring about an extreme pleasure for the Host and the body will produce a breeding enzyme, which can protect the fetus and promote better development.]
[I’m carrying Zi Qi’s child and will only be with him. Luky, he was someone I mistook for Zulu in a moment of emotional turmoil.]
[If the Host desires it, Xiaomei will support it entirely.]
[…Three months! In three months, we will continue on to Earth World.]
[Okay, Host.]
Sally took Xiaoba out of the space, embraced him, and left Belman Planet. She traveled around the vast Aslanda Star System.
In the meantime, the Yago Cup competition resumed on Belman Star shortly after the brief Insect Beast surge.
Some members of the Imperial Military District’s team sustained serious injuries due to the Insect Beast surge. After replenishing their ranks, Luky, a student from a Tier 7 planet who joined Xinghuang Military School, piloted the White Angel and, along with the other teammates, secured the championship of the Yago Cup competition for Xinghuang Military School.
However, during the global live broadcast, Luky mentioned a name—Sally.
He told the world he had fallen in love with her at first sight and hoped she would find him at Remist Military Academy…
Upon hearing his words, the expression of Chexus Aslanda, the ninth Prince of the Empire, turned particularly dark.
Those in the know revealed that this girl named Sally was originally a competitor from the independent sector in the Yago Cup competition, a Variant Human woman, and a Mecha Soldier with a Sensing Power of B grade. At the very beginning of the Insect Beast surge, amidst the chaos, she fearlessly fought the Beasts and saved people.
The Federal President’s only daughter—never before publicly acknowledged—was also saved by Sally and had her rescue publicly recognized by the First Lady.
In gratitude to this lifesaver and to commend her heroic actions and thoughts, the Federal President specially honored Sally as a Heroine and erected a statue for her in Hero Square, praised and admired by the world.]
