We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Did I disturb you?"

"No! No... Dr. Mei, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Mei chuckled and shook her head, flicking Xi'er's forehead with her finger and saying, "Check your phone later, there might be new instructions. Don't get so caught up in playing that you forget about important matters."

"Oh……"

After Dr. Mei left, Celine, who had been sitting quietly to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... finally gone. Seele, who exactly is that Dr. Mei? She had such a powerful aura! And... why does she remind me so much of Mei-neechan?"

No need to feel it, she is your Mei-neechan.

Seele didn't explain much, after all, there were some things that were not easy to tell Sirin.

However, judging from Dr. Mei's attitude just now...

Seele narrowed her eyes slightly—was there going to be a combat mission?

926. Let them see, Theresa.

The day of fun in Nagasaki came to an end quickly.

It's not fair to say that some are happy while others are sad; it's just that some people have had a good time these past few days, while others haven't even had a sip of soup.

Bronya understood immediately when she saw the expressions on Mei's and the other two's faces at noon.

So I'm the only one who didn't get to eat any?

“You and Xu Qi ate at Xier’s house before you left, don’t think we didn’t know.”

Well, Mei's eyes still see right through things.

Around 1 or 2 p.m., employees began returning to the cruise ship one after another, and Kevin and his team also sped back.

"How was the speed?"

In response to Xu Qi's question, Kevin replied, "It was alright. The GTR I was racing was too heavy at the front, so I easily overtook it by using inertia to corner."

You must be driving an 86...

As the group chatted, Kosmo returned with Desdobia.

Xu Qi, with a teasing look, joked, "How was your night, Kosmo?"

"Hmm?" Kosmo tilted his head, completely baffled as to why Xu Qi was asking that question. Desdobia, standing beside him, clearly understood.

The girl, her face flushed, waved her hand and said in a tone that was hard to tell whether it was relief or resentment, "We booked two rooms last night..."

Tsk... I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it...

Su said helplessly, "Don't set a bad example for the kids, Xu Qi. You're probably not even a girlfriend at your age."

The group chatted and laughed, and before long, the Thousand Tribulations arrived.

Thinking of what Rita had said earlier, Xu Qi couldn't help but shrug.

"Brother Jie, the tail wasn't dealt with properly~~"

"Don't bother me... those mice are pretty good at hiding."

"Once the ship leaves the post, leave it to me. Brother Jie will cook some good food."

Qianjie waved his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and walked impatiently toward the ship.

Seeing this, Kevin couldn't help but ask, "What happened last night?"

"It was a coincidence, I suppose. I just happened to run into the fish I wanted to catch, so I'll just consider Qianjie as bait."

Your bait is quite effective.

Kosmo frowned and asked, "Do you need me to pilot 00?"

"No need, it's not a big deal after all." Xu Qi stretched his body and joked, "I haven't done anything for a while, so this is just... a good way to stretch my muscles."

······

As the cruise ship slowly sailed away from the port, Seele looked back from the balcony outside her room. Seeing that she could no longer see the shore, she murmured something.

"Cirin, I'm going to the stern deck."

"Oh? Oh, do you want me to come with you?"

"Hmm...is that okay?"

The two girls went to the deck at the stern of the cruise ship together. Clearly... the communication she received in the villa earlier was not a combat mission.

It simply stated that she should go to the stern of the boat.

Does this kind of thing really need to be discussed on an internal channel? It seems Dr. Mei is becoming increasingly casual.

On the way, they happened to run into Bronya, who was on her way to the stern to hold a meeting with the employees.

That's more like it! This is what team building should be like!

Can a team-building activity without a meeting be called a team-building activity?

It seems that even President Bronya is not immune to the common pitfalls.

So Seele and Sirin were also called along, and all the employees of Seed Studio gathered on the deck at the stern of the ship to listen to Bronya's remarks at the meeting.

"Seele, what a terrible idea you came up with! Why did you have to come to the stern of the ship for no reason..."

Hearing Sirin's complaints, Seele could only offer an apologetic smile.

There was no way she could say that this was a combat mission arranged by Dr. Mei.

"Hey! Seele, Sirin, long time no see!"

The sudden greeting startled the two little girls, who turned around to see—Susana?

"Hehe~~" The little bear girl grabbed two of the company's most valuable concept artists and asked with a grin, "Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you around."

"Ah...we..."

"Is it with Supervisor Xu?"

"well!?"

The two girls were startled and were about to say something to cover it up when Su Shana said, "I saw Manager Xu's WeChat Moments yesterday, and there was a photo of the two of you in it."

So this is where they were exposed?!

Xi'er asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking at Xu Qi's WeChat Moments for no reason?"

"Huh? He's my boss?"

These self-evident words left Seele speechless for a moment.

That's right... that's the mindset a working person should have: always paying attention to the boss's activities.

Xier and Xilin both lowered their heads guiltily—it's how the atmosphere is corrupted by people like the two of them who are always thinking about how to get into the boss's bed.

Just as Seele was about to say something more, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she looked behind her.

Sirin was the first to notice that Seele was acting strangely, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Seele?"

This feeling... is like an exoskeleton armor!?

Ignoring the shouts of those around her, Seele immediately tried to run into the cabin, but before she could get back, she saw Dr. Mei leading everyone from the courtyard to the stern.

"Doctor? What happened to you..."

Mei raised a finger and touched Seele's lips.

"Find a spot, this is a rare treat."

A good show?

Soon, not only Seele, but also other people on the deck began to see several dark shadows flying over from the horizon.

What are those?

There were quite a few shadowy figures, and Seele couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Although she fully trusted Dr. Mei's judgment, why...?

Wait a minute? Where's Mr. Xu Qi?

"The cruise ship where the target is located has been located."

"Prepare to board the ship."

In the sky, communication between the exoskeleton armors was completely imperceptible to Seele's mental power.

She no longer harbored any illusions; their target was the cruise ship!

"Dr. Mei!"

"coming."

They're here? What's here?

"Boom!!"

A deafening roar exploded overhead, and Seele quickly looked up to see a blue and white figure rapidly ascending into the air! Powerful mental energy, coupled with unparalleled horsepower, propelled it head-on towards several exoskeleton armors flying through the sky!

That familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy...

"what is that?"

"The intelligence didn't say they had anything like that!"

Seele heard the other party's voice communication again.

At the same time, the blue and white figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the mechanical wings behind it detached, forming eight floating cannons.

This scene, reminiscent of a movie, left the employees of the underground Seed studio completely stunned. They were all die-hard fans of mecha, otherwise they wouldn't have come to create Alahato.

What's right in front of you... is a living, breathing exoskeleton armor!

"Let them see what Theresa has to offer!"

It really is Xu Qi's voice!

As soon as the words were spoken, another pure white armor appeared in the sky, its outer armor covered with green spiritual energy stripes.

There will always be a way.

"It's an exoskeleton armor!?"

927. Can you escape Xu Qi's clutches? Kafka?

Earlier, when Xu Qi sat in his long-unused car, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

"How is it? The seat shouldn't be uncomfortable, right?"

Mebius's voice came through, and Xu Qi laughed, "It's more like it's too comfortable. It's completely different from the V2V I drove before..."

"Of course! This Haiwei design is very user-friendly, just go for it!"

Wearing a thin black bra, holding a micro-terminal in her hand, she looked relaxed and happy.

"So, next... Moonlight System integration!"

As Velvet finished speaking, a tiny figure formed entirely of mental energy slowly materialized before Xu Qi's eyes—Kiana…

"Hmph! ~~ Finally, you've gotten on board. Last time, it wasn't fully tested yet, but this time it's the complete Hi-V2V, incorporating 100% of the Moonlight system!"

"Kiana..."

"Sigh! You can't be thinking about Sese right now..."

Xu Qi smiled but remained silent.

Inside the preparation room, Mebius once again witnessed what 200% adaptability truly means.

She now knows it's because of Kiana's existence.

"And on the other hand... Theresa, how's your unicorn?"

"No problem, everything is normal."
