Phantom limb pain. When it flared up, it was excruciating. Bai Ling calculated the time. It had been just over a month since his amputation. His severed nerves didn't know the flesh was gone and continued to transmit pain signals to his brain, day and night. That terrifying, burning sensation... if he ignored it, the pain would only get worse, perhaps even to the point where he'd lose his mobility entirely. He had to find some painkillers. The Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, so it wasn't…-

When Bai Ling woke again, he was already bound in a straitjacket. He looked down. A rusty iron muzzle pressed hard against the bridge of his nose, the metal straps binding him so tightly he could barely breathe, so he tilted his head back slightly and rested it against the wall. The occasional vibrations of the vehicle told him he was being transported, racing against time, to the execution ground. The supervisor was sitting opposite him, puffing on a cigarette. His sticky gaze slid down…

Those dark eyes were lost for a rare moment. After a long time, Qin Zhilu finally asked in a low voice, "Where does that confidence come from?" "This isn’t confidence. It’s analysis and..." An Yu paused, lightly pressing his lips together. "Intuition, Commander." He lowered his gaze and whispered, "Perhaps just like 21, I’ve also started trying to compute the information I receive." When traversing the Commander's memories, he had only seen his youth, but missed District 95. But…-

Bai Ling lowered his eyelids slightly, deliberately slowing his fingers to let him hear the crisp click of a bullet loading, asking as if casually: "Where did you get those bone-ash bullets from?" Clutching his bleeding neck, Kaide looked like an octopus thrown onto the ground when a seafood stall closed, answering half-dead: "Those aren't my bullets; they belong to the Swordfish Duke." The Swordfish Duke—excellent, another entry added to the…

6:00 PM. Amidst the twinkling lights of countless homes and the return of fledgling birds to their nests, resting upon the dense black reef bordering the bay, was the Palace of Abydos—symbol of royal authority—stood towering and grand. Viewed from afar, the light and shadows from its circular glass windows shone brilliantly like a pillar of light, holding up the orange-pink canopy of heaven from high above. "According to the protocol, prior to the official commencement of the…

Taking advantage of the 7:00 AM morning sunlight, Bai Ling deftly applied the tape. Next, they had to spend 10 hours waiting for the adhesive to emulsify, fusing seamlessly with the broken glass aperture. "Alright, mission accomplished." Wiping the adhesive from his hands, Bai Ling pondered back and forth, feeling that this broken hole looked far too obvious from the outside and that it was best to find something to cover it up. He simply fetched a roll of ultra-wide…

At dawn, as the thick night mist dissipated, the faint white horizon shot forth thousands of golden beams. Right at this moment, a flock of bird swept across the sea surface, their flapping wings stirring up exquisite ripples. Behind them, a massive and spectacular red sun rose slowly over the ocean. Upon closer inspection, one would see that those were three fully loaded mechas. Sava marveled: "You actually have spare mechas." Bai Ling offered a quiet "Mn." He…

The blood-red text slowly faded from mid-air. Jiang Qi looked at Gu Ming'en, whose face had turned paper-white, and asked, "Is your hand alright?" "It's fine. I probably just didn't rest well last night." Gu Ming'en tightly gripped the inner pocket of his clothes. "See, it's not shaking anymore." Jiang Qi glanced at his hand and pretended not to have guessed his skill, refraining from pressing further. Compared to Gu Ming'en, the other two reacted with extreme excitement. Yu Siwei asked, "Did you…-

Jiang Qi was awakened the next morning by knocking at his door. Opening it with a displeased expression, he found several people standing outside. Gu Siyu, at the front, looked somewhat awkward. "They said it's almost breakfast time, and we need to start preparing food." "What breakfast? Can't we just grab some cornflakes from the fridge and soak them in milk for her?" Jiang Qi's eyes were half-closed, looking entirely half-asleep. "Ah... but if we do that..." "Mary's from abroad, right? They…

How many steps does it take to start a Mothership class vessel? "The flight log states that it takes a mere three steps: walk into the cockpit, press the small red button on the console, pull out a chair to sit down, and wait for the self-check to complete." Sava summarized using his grandfather's phrasing: "A dummy's guide." So here comes the question: where is the cockpit? The small robot enthusiastically led the way, bringing them to stand before a completely blank, tiled wall in the…
