Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a night of rest.

Early the next morning, Qin Yue and the others woke up early.

Only Reina, that little girl still slept soundly on the bed after everyone had woken up. Qin Yue figured that she had not had a chance to rest that well for a long time.

Tang Ling grinned as she tugged Qin Yue’s sleeve and asked with a curious expression, “Little Brother Qin Yue, you didn’t do anything to that little girl last night, right?”

Qin Yue covered his face with his palm as he felt speechless.

Although he knew Tang Lin’s personality, he did not expect to hear such vicious words from her mouth.

“What are you thinking about!”

Qin Yue immediately exploded, and he flicked her head.

“It hurts so much. Little Brother Qin Yue, you really don’t know how to treat beautiful women.” Tang Lin immediately let go of her hand and deliberately covered the spot where she had been flicked.

Qin Yue shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly.

“Alright, stop messing around. Get ready to work.”

As he spoke, Qin Yue walked in front of his mecha.

He silently used the system to check on the extent of Sky Hunter’s damage.

[Sky Hunter: Comprehensive Mecha]

[Mecha condition: Defects detected. Damage to the body has reached 40%. Please repair promptly]

[Energy status: 20%]

[Mecha height: 30 meters]

[Basic strength: 27]

[Basic speed: 27]

[Basic defense: 27]

[Basic firepower: 27]

[Tonnage: 400 tons]

“It seems that the two battles yesterday have caused quite a bit of damage to Sky Hunter!”

Following that, Qin Yue used the system to check on the mecha of his squadmates.

The results were all similar, there were reports of damage across all of them. The degree of damage even surpassed Qin Yue’s Sky Hunter mecha.

Fortunately, it was all within Qin Yue’s expectations.

With the equipment in the maintenance room, Qin Yue could thoroughly repair and modify them.

“You guys put on the exoskeleton armor and move these parts to the operating table.”

When Ling Ru and the other three heard his instructions, they acted according to Qin Yue’s instructions.

Following that, Qin Yue also put on the exoskeleton armor and began to dismantle, repair, and modify Sky Hunter.

Six hours had passed and under Qin Yue’s command, the repair of the five damaged mecha was completed.

“Repair completed!”

“The next main event is modification!” Qin Yue let out a long breath.

As she stood at the side, Ling Ru said apologetically, “Qin Yue, I’m really sorry. I can’t help you with anything else. I can only help you carry things around and perform some menial tasks.”

They all saw Qin Yue’s effort, and they could not help but feel a little guilty.

“When did you guys become so pretentious? If I were that calculative, I would be an accountant! Alright, stop feeling sorry for yourselves. Let’s get to work!”

Seeing how easygoing Qin Yue was, Ling Ru and the others did not bring up the doubts they also had.

When there was an opportunity in the future, they would help Qin Yue without hesitation!

“Junzi, disassemble Sky Hunter’s Scarlet Pike and the XA-Wolf Talons hidden in its fists for me. First, we’ll carry out the simplest weapon modification!”

Under Qin Yue’s lead, the four of them quickly disassembled Sky Hunter’s two most important close-combat weapons.

The XA-Wolf Talon has an unparalleled cutting ability. Even a Guardian-class mecha would be instantly dismembered if struck by it.

Qin Yue first modified the materials, which increased the sharpness, and durability.

The Scarlet Pike had extremely strong close-range attack capability. Other than being used as a melee weapon, the head can also fire beam cannons. Qin Yue had defeated the interstellar pirates Military-grade mecha with such a move.

However, Qin Yue was very dissatisfied with the power of its beam cannon. With the modification of the Scarlet Pike, Qin Yue planned to completely upgrade. He believed that the next time he used it, it would be a real God-slaying Scarlet Pike!

With the help of four people, it was completed a few hours earlier than Qin Yue had expected.

Not long after, Sky Hunter’s modification was completed.

That time, Qin Yue did not use the system to check on the condition of the mecha. Instead, he took out the testing equipment from the maintenance room and tested Sky Hunter.

[Sky Hunter: Assault-type mecha]

[Energy status: 100%]

[Mecha height: 30 meters]

[Basic strength: 30]

[Basic speed: 29]

[Basic defense: 29]

[Basic firepower: 30]

[Tonnage: 380 tons]

Beside them, Ling Ru and the others saw Sky Hunter’s attributes and were shocked.

“His basic attributes have reached 30 points? So strong!”

“I remember that our mecha’s highest basic attributes are only 24…” Ling Ru swallowed her saliva and said in disbelief.

“As expected, Little Brother Qin Yue is really strong. There is nothing that you can’t do!”

The few of them looked at Qin Yue with respect.

What they did not know was that just as they were praising him…

Qin Yue secretly complained in his heart.

There were many parts that Qin Yue could not work on due to the lack of materials.

Although the final modification results were very satisfactory, they still only barely met his expectations.

Next, Qin Yue was not in a hurry to experiment with the newly modified Sky Hunter.

Instead, he moved on to the mecha of Ling Ru and the other two.

Time passed quickly, and soon an entire day had passed.

It was already late at night by then but the reassembly of the four mecha was finally completed!

Qin Yue, who was drenched in sweat, took off the exoskeleton armor and gulped down a mouthful of water.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

“Alright, we’re done!”

“All the basic functions have been strengthened for you guys, and the tonnage of the mecha has also been reduced by quite a bit.”

Qin Yue wiped the sweat off his forehead. The busy day had made him extremely tired.

“How is it? Let’s go give it a try.”

Ling Ru and the others did not hesitate either. They went to their mechas and arrived at the huge arena specially prepared by the maintenance room.

Qin Yue followed closely behind and piloted Sky Hunter to the spacious arena.

For a moment, the sound of Ling Ru and the others piloting their mechas could be heard in the arena.

“If we were to meet that group of interstellar pirates today, with our modified mechas, we might be able to defeat them.”

“I really want to test these improvements against some Alien Beasts.”

From their communicators, a few people let their thoughts be heard one after another.

Hearing that, Qin Yue immediately dispelled their thoughts.

“Although your current mecha can easily fight against Alien Beasts of the same level or even against a Guardian-class mecha, your battle experience is still lacking a little.”

“Right now, we’ve just experienced two great battles, so we won’t be out hunting Alien Beasts for some time. During this period of time, we’ll get some rest and recuperate.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yue’s tone suddenly changed as he continued,

“Although we get to rest, after today, your skills in battle must be improved! We also need to get all of you more experience in a real battle!”

As she heard Qin Yue’s serious voice, Ling Ru carefully asked, “Qin Yue, who will be our training opponent?”

“Naturally, it’ll be me.”

Qin Yue’s laughter was mixed with a trace of a smile. The four people who heard it subconsciously shivered.

Following that, Qin Yue piloted Sky Hunter and practiced with its new upgrades before he returned to his room to rest.

It was already late at night, plus they all had a busy day, so Ling Ru and the other two did not practice for long either. They each returned to their rooms to rest soon after..
