The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa made a quick decision. After noting down the location of the close-in weapon system, she left the bridge as fast as she could and headed there.

Close-in weapon systems (CIWS) are certainly not inside the warship, so Valensa left the warship through the hatch closest to the CIWS and went outside.

She had expected the environment outside the warship to be harsh, and was even prepared to suffocate.

Unexpectedly, the natural environment of this planet is quite good. Although it cannot compare to the land of Frenoia, which is blessed by the Sun Goddess, it is much fresher than the air in her previous life, which was severely polluted by industry.

After carefully observing her surroundings and confirming that there were no other moving objects nearby, Valensa ran across the outer armor of the warship and finally arrived at the location of her desired close-in weapon system.

This close-in weapon system looks very imposing. Each barrel is about three meters long and has a caliber of about 50 millimeters. It has an eight-barrel rotary structure.

After careful observation, Valensa easily discovered how to fire the cannon manually and also found the ammunition magazine, estimating that there were around 10,000 rounds remaining.

Ten thousand sounds like a lot, but for this kind of rotary high-speed close-in weapon system, it may not even last a minute.

Bang bang bang!

Valensa even fired a few shots to confirm that the close-in weapon system was indeed in good working order, which made her even more delighted.

But then came a problem... Valencia's industrial knowledge was limited, and she had no idea how to disassemble the close-in weapon system.

The close-in weapon system and the main material of this warship are both some kind of alloy, and their properties should be similar to Valencia's alloy longsword.

Although it was very strong, it was still no match for the sharpness of the Moon-class dragon's fang. It could definitely be dismantled with that dragon fang short sword... but Valensa dared not do it casually, for fear of damaging the near-defense cannon.

She could only continue to observe, hoping to find the connection between the close-in weapon system and the warship, and disassemble the close-in weapon system in the correct way.

Just as she was touching the gun barrel and examining the close-in weapon system base, a burst of fighting sounds suddenly came from a distance toward the warship.

Valensa immediately became alert and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Soon, two figures appeared in sight, one chasing and the other fleeing... The one chasing was a monster, and the one fleeing was a young woman.

Chapter 74: There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Valensa would naturally observe the woman carefully first.

The woman was quite pretty, with a great figure, shoulder-length orange short hair, and wearing a tight tank top and hot pants.

She clearly belongs to a technologically advanced civilization, with various weapons installed in many places on her limbs, and a centipede-shaped metal implant on her back.

This made Valensa temporarily suppress her idea of ​​playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress... because the woman being chased might be a survivor from the warship, and she, as a female knight who suddenly appeared, had no way to explain herself. She would most likely be beaten by the woman after rescuing her.

So let's observe for a while longer.

Valensa looked at the monster again.

The monster was about the size of a small car, clearly belonging to the Zerg race, with a hard carapace and very sharp forelimbs.

The monster is very fast, estimated to reach speeds of over 500 kilometers per hour when sprinting in a straight line. Even if a woman had some kind of jet booster installed on her legs, she would have a hard time outrunning it.

However, at crucial moments, the woman would accelerate explosively at an extremely high speed. Even though Valensa enhanced her dynamic vision with mental power, she could only barely see her clearly. It was estimated to be about three times the speed of sound.

Every time the woman is about to be caught by the monster, she will unleash a counterattack like this, widening the distance again.

However, this kind of burst of energy is obviously extremely taxing. After each use, the woman would have to catch her breath for a while, and the intervals between uses were getting longer and longer. She even injected herself with a drug in her neck.

She uses two weapons to attack monsters: a shotgun held in her left hand and a small wave cannon attached to her right palm.

Both of these weapons are quite powerful, capable of knocking monsters back a great distance with each shot, but they lack penetration and are unlikely to cause fatal damage.

Especially that shotgun; every time it hit the monster, sparks flew everywhere, but it didn't leave a single scratch.

The monster's carapace was incredibly hard, probably no less strong than the alloy used for the outer armor of a warship. Its vitality was also exceptionally strong; it seemed unaffected by a barrage of shots from shotguns and palm-sized wave cannons.

The battle was drawing ever closer to the warship. Valensa was still observing, but she estimated that the woman wouldn't last much longer.

Just then, the woman also spotted Valensa standing beside the close-in weapon system, and her face lit up with joy:

"Hey beautiful! Please help me!"

Standard Mandarin spoken in the Celestial Empire with clear and distinct pronunciation.

Valensa breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the short-haired beauty in the tank top and hot pants was from her hometown, it was obvious what to do next.

Valensa first tried to aim at the monster with her close-in weapon system, but found it wasn't working... Both the monster and the hot pants-clad woman were very fast and often engaged in close combat, making it difficult to lock onto them.

So Valencia jumped off the warship, took out her steel round shield, and smashed it at the monster.

After being enhanced at the Dimensional Hardware Store, Valensa's power increased significantly, and her steel shield struck the monster's head with a whooshing sound.

Bang!

Just as the monster was about to catch up with the hot pants-clad beauty, it suddenly stumbled, and the distance between them widened again, causing the shield to bounce back into Valensa's hand.

"Great!"

The hot pants-clad beauty immediately gave Valensa a thumbs up:

"Wow, that's a pretty good shield throw, lady... Did you copy Captain America's style?"

Valensa simply smiled and didn't say anything. Then she drew her Dragon Fang Short Sword and thrust it at the monster, which was frozen in place after being hit on the head.

This caused the woman in hot pants to change her expression again:

"Be careful, lady. That monster has a very high level of armor, and its forelimbs can cut through iron like mud. It's very dangerous for you to fight it in close combat like this... uh."

Even as the hot pants-clad woman kindly reminded her, Valensa had already made her move.

With her agility attribute boosted once again, Valensa no longer needs the second-stage acceleration from her military boots; she can unleash a supersonic strike simply through the explosive enhancement of her mental power.

Supersonic Spike Sword!

puff!

The armor that remained unscathed despite being fired at by shotguns and palm-wave cannons was as fragile as tofu under the sharpness of the Dragon Fang Short Sword, and was easily pierced.

The second wave of sharp power from the spiked sword also erupted, completely piercing through the monster's body from head to tail, and even destroying some of the rocks beneath the monster.

Surely he's dead now?

Seeing that the monster remained motionless after being pierced, Valensa breathed a sigh of relief and turned to smile at the woman in hot pants:

"Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

As a result, she saw the hot pants beauty's expression change drastically. She seemed to want to use that explosive speed to rush over, but because her body had reached its limit, she failed and only coughed twice before kneeling on the ground.

Valensa's alarm bells rang in her mind. Without thinking, she ducked and rolled, narrowly avoiding the monster's sharp forelimbs that were about to decapitate her, losing only a few strands of hair in the process.

I really shouldn't have said that! Saying it almost made me look like a senior student!

Valensa smiled wryly and quickly distanced herself from the monster, while curiously looking over... This monster's vitality is too tenacious! It's been pierced through from head to toe, and it's still not dead?

The monster was indeed not dead. Although its movements had slowed considerably, indicating that it was seriously injured, it could still swing its forelimbs to attack, and its eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness.

"This...this kind of monster has no obvious weaknesses, it has no heart or brain...to kill them completely, you must completely destroy their body structure."

The woman in hot pants breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Valencia hadn't turned around. She quickly walked over to Valencia and handed her something that looked like a canned drink.

"This is a bomb that can blow up a 30-story building in one shot. Try to find a way to put it inside the bomb."

"……Understood."

Judging from the hot pants girl's previous behavior, this fellow countrywoman seemed quite friendly, and Valensa, after a brief hesitation, decided to trust her.

The injured monster was no match for Valensa in terms of speed. Valensa quickly used her Dragon Fang Dagger to dig a hole in the monster's body, inserted a bomb, then used her steel shield to block the wound, and finally kicked the shield with all her might.

Bang!

The shield flew out along with the monster, and Valensa used the momentum to jump back, instantly creating a distance of tens of meters between herself and the monster.

"Get down."

The woman in hot pants shouted a warning and then decisively detonated the bomb.

boom!

The bomb was indeed incredibly powerful, instantly shattering the monster from the inside.

But fragments of the monster's shell also flew in all directions like shrapnel from a grenade, and the shockwave from the explosion shot towards Valensa and the hot-pants beauty.

"Oh no... uh."

The hot pants girl's face fell, and she was prepared to get hurt, but then she saw Valensa suddenly pull out a new shield out of thin air. She even used the shield to activate an airflow shield, which firmly covered the two of them and blocked all the shell fragments that were shot at her.

hot pants beauty "..."

What a reliable female knight!

Chapter 75 Activating the Friend System

After confirming that the monster that had been blown to pieces was truly dead, Valensa and the hot pants-clad beauty quickly retreated to the safe zone near the warship.

Next, of course, is the time for discussion.

"Hello, beautiful knight, my name is Wei, and I come from a near-future sci-fi world... Did you play Cyberpunk 2077 or watch Edgewalker when you were back in your hometown? My world is similar, a cyberpunk world where corporate dogs are the norm... By the way, I'm a corporate dog myself."

The woman in hot pants smiled warmly and extended her hand to Valensa:

"The city I live in isn't called Night City, but rather Ever Dark City, and the monopolistic corporation there is the Arasaka Group."

However, my boss isn't Saburo Arasaka, nor is it that filial son Yorinobu Arasaka, but a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair named Miyuki Arasaka. Working for her is quite enjoyable.

"Then your world must be very interesting. At least you're technologically advanced and have no shortage of entertainment options, unlike me, who's practically dying to have all sorts of electronic gadgets..."

Valensa also extended her hand, smiling as she shook hands with the hot pants-clad beauty, Vivi:

"So you're the famous V... Nice to meet you. My name is Valensa Bader, from a fantasy world full of swords and magic, a common theme in light novels... There are dragons, churches, sages, and all that..."

However, unlike the churches in many novels that exploit and oppress ordinary people, the churches in my world were quite good, and they almost truly practiced universal love for all beings.

I am now a paladin in the church, and my superiors and partners are a succubus and a vampire, both of whom are paladins as well.

"A succubus paladin and a vampire paladin? That's quite interesting... It seems your world must be very interesting too. You'd better treat me well when I come to visit you," Wei laughed.

"Want to play in my world?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow:

"I would certainly welcome you if you could come... but how would you do it? Does your technology already allow you to travel between worlds? Or do you have some special tools?"

"Huh? You don't know?"

Wei paused for a moment before realizing:

"Oh, I see... Valencia, this must be your first time drawing a Chance Card, and also your first time meeting a fellow countryman and colleague like me, right?"

"Quickly...quickly open your Dimensional Hardware Store member terminal and activate the friend function. This function is a great thing, and it's the greatest asset of the Chance Card."

"Oh, alright."

Valensa quickly opened the interface of the Dimensional Hardware Store member terminal and, sure enough, saw a huge pop-up window in the center, prompting her to activate the friend function.

Valensa nodded.

Immediately, a drop-down menu appeared in the upper right corner of the screen in front of her, much like a chat software she used in her previous life, with functions such as adding friends and a friend list.

"Come on, add me as a friend, I'll send you a request."

Vivian, quite naturally, hugged Valensa, put her arms around Valensa's waist, and even pinched the soft flesh under Valensa's black stockings, while whistling.

"you……!"

Valensa was just hesitating whether she should act reserved here when a new pop-up appeared on the screen:

[Wei has requested to add you as a friend. Are you sure you want to?]

...Does sending a friend request mean you're flirting with the other person?

Thinking of the third way that rewarded blind box draws at the Dimensional Hardware Store, Valensa naturally assumed it was the same way and didn't pursue Wei's frivolity any further, instead clicking "confirm."

"Have you added me as a friend? You can click to take a look, but remember not to use it."

Vivian then jokingly taught Valencia how to use the friend feature:

"See that option to request support from friends? That's the main function of friends. It can summon friends from your list to your world to help you fight, exchange resources, or simply enjoy the game."

Unfortunately, this feature has significant limitations: it can only be used once a month for half an hour, and all friends' summons share the same cooldown time.

Therefore, except for the day at the end of the month when the cooldown resets, this function should not be used carelessly; it can be used as a trump card to turn the tide of battle in crucial moments.

"I get it, thank."

Valensa nodded, thanked Vivi for her enthusiastic teaching, and then asked curiously:
