We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi looked up, and for a moment, he was speechless...

In mid-air, a civilian helicopter was slowly descending, and standing on it—were none other than Möbius and Eden!?

As the helicopter descended halfway down, a rope ladder came down.

"Come on up! The V2V is right here in the helicopter!"

……

Chief Engineer Xia, who was walking out with them, seemed to realize something. He looked at Xu Qi, hesitated for a long time, and then said loudly, "That kid Xia Ya! He's in your hands now!"

Xu Qi nodded emphatically.

"I will stop him... I will!"

Mei suddenly rushed to Xu Qi and, without caring that they were in front of everyone, threw herself into Xu Qi's arms.

Her frail body embraced Xu Qi tightly, the young girl's love unreserved.

Xu Qi's raised hand paused in mid-air, then he also hugged Mei tightly, as if he wanted to merge Mei into his own body.

They looked into each other's eyes and kissed.

Sakura decisively covered Fu Hua and Pado's eyes.

Chief Engineer Xia was also taken aback. His previously ashen expression turned into a hearty smile.

Those who witnessed this scene were more or less moved—what it means to share a final kiss before parting ways in life and death.

As their lips parted, Mei was already in tears. She looked at Xu Qi and said...

"Live."

Xu Qi said half-jokingly, "If you survive, remember to give me a reward in the crowdfunding group 456127940."

"If I survive, I'll give you my body."

Mei's loving words even made Xu Qi consider giving up for a moment.

"Go, my... great hero."

Mei released Xu Qi.

Xu Qi didn't hesitate any longer, grabbed the rope ladder, and left with the helicopter.

Live on... You must... Live on!

······

On the helicopter, Mebius opened the rear cabin, where a black and white V2V armor, about one and a half times the height of a person, stood quietly on the maintenance platform.

"Char's heavy exoskeleton armor is definitely military-grade, but ours is just as good. Just like Vilvie's online name—V2V isn't just for looks!"

Xu Qi stared at the armor in front of him. Just as he took a deep breath and was about to step forward, Eden beside him suddenly spoke.

Xu Qi.

"Sister Eden, what is it?"

"Just like Char created all of this simply to ask a question. The actions of everyone in the Golden Garden are actually... also hoping that you can provide the answer to this question."

Eden, who hadn't had time to change out of her dress, looked stunningly beautiful at that moment.

She stepped forward, placed her hands on Xu Qi's shoulders, and said solemnly.

"Survive! Don't let the expectations of so many people turn into disappointment."

"must."

Eden smiled.

“Go ahead, just like I said the other day, I hope that when I return to the Golden Courtyard, there will be fourteen people gathered together for dinner.”

"Ha! I won't die so easily without Mei's reward!"

Having said that, he strode out, and the V2V seemed to sense Xu Qi's arrival, its exoskeleton armor unfolding to reveal the installation pod inside.

He turned around and entered the V2V space.

The black breastplate, tinged with dark blue, clung tightly to Xu Qi's chest. At the same time, his pure white limbs also came together, his visor was pulled down, and his green eyes suddenly shone with a light like stars.

At this moment, the helicopter had already reached the airspace above the underground passage leading to the substation's closing area.

V2V后背的太阳炉高速运转！HK粒子只是一刹那，便包裹住了整个V2V装甲，这个机体的性能……至少7倍领先于GD-78-2！

The price, of course, is the terrifying gravitational acceleration that the driver must endure—15G.

But now, Xu Qi's body is able to control this gravity.

Char, you said that the human soul is bound by gravity, and therefore needs purification and cleansing. Well then, let me use V2V, freed from the shackles of gravity, to correct you!

"V2V armor! Launch!"

The ejection track was ready, the rear door of the helicopter opened, and the V2V armored vehicle was ejected from the helicopter!

At the same time, the high power generated by the HK particles made the V2V fall towards the ground almost as if it were flying in mid-air!

From now on...

"I am V2V!"

······

"The last glimmer of light in those eyes—Mebius, did you have Gretsch paint on the V2V?"

Watching Xu Qi leave, Eden asked softly.

“That’s right. Gretchen’s paintings are like stars shining on the world, bringing spiritual comfort and hope to everyone. I think... if it were Xu Qi, he would definitely be able to realize something from them.”

Eden nodded.

"Indeed, if it were Xu Qi, he definitely could."

······

Inside the empty, dark underground tunnel, the massive Shazabi stood quietly beside the power switch, while at his feet lay the unconscious power company employee.

That's right, Char did not kill the opponent.

He stood there quietly, seemingly waiting for something to happen.

On the monitor panel in front of him, a small portion of the image showed that bus 956 had reached Lujiabang Road, meaning that... half of the journey had passed.

Xu Qi...

"Um!?"

Char's eyes sharpened; he seemed to sense something. The massive Sazabi looked behind him at the passage connecting to the outside.

Something... there's definitely something! It's approaching at high speed!

And—what incredible mental strength! Who is it? Is it you!? Xu Qi!

"Char!"

Xia looked closely and saw a fierce black and white exoskeleton rushing towards him at high speed! Although the pilot controlling this exoskeleton was skilled, some of his inexperience could still be seen.

After all, I'm getting older...

"Xu Qi!"

Char drew the hilt of his sword, and a high-heat beam composed of HK particles instantly formed!

Xu Qi drew his beam saber the moment he saw Sazabi!

The lightsabers clashed in the dark corridor! The sparks and beams that erupted illuminated their respective exoskeleton armor.

The bright red Sazabi, the black and white V2V!

Testimonials

This is my first book published on Dimension Princess, and I'm quite happy about it.

I didn't think of writing any reflections, so I'll just share some thoughts on this book.

In essence, this book will still develop in the direction of daily life, but with one small story after another, just like what happened between Char and others in this volume.

Daily life scenes make up the majority of the story, because I need to use daily life to develop the characters, and then integrate those developed characters into the story. So don't worry, the excitement will continue.

I'm also searching for a way to combine the slow pace of everyday life with the fast pace of a dramatic storyline.

Let's talk about Volume 1 again.

The first volume mainly introduces the important characters, provides a general world view, and portrays the character of the protagonist, Xu Qi.

The focus is still on Xu Qi, since he is the main character.

The next volume will naturally focus on the female lead. Hmm... wanna guess who the female lead is? (laughs)

The next volume will undoubtedly focus on the romantic relationship between Mei and Xu Qi, and then... another heavyweight character in the book will be introduced—Theresa.

You can look forward to it. Here are a few lines I've roughly drafted.

"I'm sorry I didn't meet you sooner. But now, I'm right here beside you."

“You have done enough. Now, please hand Theresa over to me.”

The inspiration for portraying Theresa came from a friend of mine who really liked her, and coincidentally, I liked her too (although my favorite character is Mei).

By now, you should have realized that, since this is fan-made content, everyone has a different understanding of the characters.

I will adapt the characters I create according to my own ideas and try my best to avoid being out of character (OOC). But if you want to say that it does not conform to the original setting, I can only say - follow my book.

Finally, let's talk about... things related to sex. After all, this is Dimension Princess (it feels a bit like website discrimination, just kidding).

I personally really dislike it when the male and female leads are already in a relationship but still engage in ambiguous flirting.

To be frank, we're all men. In reality, I can't say that I've dated a girlfriend for a year and then just hold hands, kiss, and play around with flirting.

When I write, I do it as soon as the emotion comes to me, without any procrastination. Since it's something that "naturally happens," then that "channel" must "be completed."

I don't really like most romance light novels because they're too drawn out.

A little bit of ambiguity is fine, but if the plot has progressed to the middle and he's still having ambiguous relationships with so many female characters, I have to wonder if the male lead has a problem with his sexual performance.

That's about it.

Thank you all for reading this far, whether it's this book or this personal reflection.

I'm writing this book purely out of interest, so I will finish it seriously, regardless of the results. I also hope everyone will support me.

37. These are the blessings bestowed upon me by everyone in the Golden Courtyard.

"The scene is here!"

Inside the Meilong command center, the previously dark monitoring screen finally displayed images at this moment!

Of course, it wasn't because the information security department had made any breakthrough. In fact, these images weren't even obtained from the Shanghai subway; the source of the images is...

"Please everyone, pray for Xu Qi, pray for him, and pray for all our fellow human beings suffering on Train 956, pray that they can survive..."

This is a live stream from a VTuber named [Alicia].

The adorable pink-haired chibi character is located in the bottom left corner of the live stream, and the live stream is showing the battle between V2V and Sazabi!

As for who discovered the live stream?

Of course, it's everyone in the Golden Garden... Even the computer connected to the lobby is Sakura's own.

As Mei watched the perilous battle unfold on screen, she couldn't help but clasp her hands together. She remembered what Alicia had told her—"We can't let Xu Qi's efforts go unnoticed..."

We need to make sure everyone sees what Xu Qi is doing!

Since we can't stop him or help him, at least let's pray for him.

······

"Is that all the strength you have, Char?!"

The lightsaber's swing restricted Sazabi's movements, and Xu Qi kicked Sazabi, who was half a head taller than V2V, flying away!

However, after kicking out that kick, Xu Qi clearly felt the heaviness and difficulty of lifting his leg at that moment.

This damn gravity!
