Chapter 157: Chapter 123 My Love Flew Away (Two in One)

After settling in the underground fortress, Qin Shou returned to his room and didn’t go looking for Leng Wanbai.

The cosmic creature metal still required Mark’s involvement, so Leng Wanbai obviously wouldn’t stir up trouble at this time.

As for what happened earlier, it was just a spur-of-the-moment bluff when Qin Shou ran into Fang Bao here, and it somehow worked out.

With his current wealth, he certainly didn’t care about such petty gains, but he still did it anyway.

This particular quirk of his would flare up from time to time, and Qin Shou was helpless about it.

"I just want to be a good person!"

Qin Shou sighed and immediately dived into a brutal and ruthless training regimen.

...

A week later.

Mechanical Ruins, East City.

Fang Bao and his group piloted a variety of mechas, flying over the Mechanical Valley and crashing down with a thunderous impact.

"Crunch... crunch..."

They jumped out of their cockpits and stood looking down at the Mechanical Valley from above.

"Fang Bao, is that mechanical giant really hiding here?"

Bai Ke pointed at the valley, looking puzzled.

Fang Bao nodded, "That’s right. Trust my intel.

The energy source inside that mechanical giant is top-grade material for building mechas, and it’s perfect for both your and Xuewei’s mechas."

Nearby, a girl in a green battle armor crossed her arms and said coldly, "Call me by my full name. It feels weird when you call me Xuewei."

Fang Bao scratched the back of his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, isn’t it just to sound a little closer?"

Nan Xuewei turned away, "Stop talking nonsense. Let’s move. We need to find that..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden deafening roar came from the depths of the Mechanical Valley.

"Roaarrr..."

Fang Bao’s face changed, "Oh no, someone beat us to it! Quick..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nan Xuewei and Bai Ke had already leaped into their cockpits and piloted their mechas toward the valley.

Fang Bao froze, then hurriedly jumped back into his cockpit.

"Hey, hey... wait for me, you guys, come on...!"

...

"Boom...!"

The Mechanical Valley erupted as a blast of violent energy exploded, scattering countless mechanical fragments in all directions, wreaking havoc throughout the valley.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The trio’s mechas landed in the valley, the flying mechanical fragments colliding with their steel bodies, sparking densely packed showers of sparks.

Fang Bao and the others didn’t activate their mechas’ defensive shields, as such small fragments posed no threat to their mechas.

Moments later, the flying debris and dust settled, and the energy’s radiant glow gradually dissipated.

At the center of the explosion, the trio saw a wine-red figure appear in their line of sight.

The wine-red battle armor looked quite different from ordinary battle armors, especially its striking red horn atop its head.

As for the mechanical giant, only half of its body remained, lying on the ground and barely hanging on.

On seeing the design of the battle armor, Fang Bao was suddenly reminded of Qin Shou’s Flame Dragon Armor.

Only Qin Shou would be so obsessed with such a semi-covered-style battle armor.

In the nearby white mech’s cockpit, Nan Xuewei’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Fang Bao, this guy actually found the mechanical giant before us. Do you know him?"

Fang Bao’s expression turned a bit sour as he recalled letting something slip yesterday while freeloading Qin Shou’s dinner.

Now it seemed that this guy was undoubtedly Qin Shou.

But there was no way he was going to admit it outright. If Nan Xuewei found out this was his fault, he’d never get a chance to ask her out again.

"No, I don’t know. I’m just as puzzled as you are..."

Fang Bao said this while hurriedly dialing Qin Shou’s battle armor communicator.

"Qin Shou, where are you right now?"

Just then, the wine-red figure raised a hand and pointed skyward, and Qin Shou’s voice came through.

"What do you think?"

"Damn it, it really is you."

Fang Bao froze for a moment, then grinned shamelessly, "Qin, my friend, could you do me a favor?

Let me beat you up in front of them. The price is negotiable.

Come on, help me out—my lifelong happiness depends on you."

He had already steeled himself; no matter how outrageous Qin Shou’s price, this deal had to happen.

After all, for a man, face was everything!

But unexpectedly, Qin Shou, contrary to his usual style, didn’t even mention money.

"Hey, with our bond, who’s talking about money? That’s just hurtful.

Go ahead, I’ll turn around and won’t fight back."

Qin Shou smiled sincerely and then pretended to turn and walk away.

Fang Bao, hearing this, couldn’t help but feel something was off.

But time wasn’t on his side, and he didn’t have the luxury to think it through.

Right away, he pointed at Qin Shou and shouted angrily, "How dare you steal Xuewei’s monster? Watch me take care of you!"

With that, he piloted the tiger-shaped mecha and lunged at Qin Shou.

"Wait, Fang...!"

Bai Ke and Nan Xuewei were about to stop him, but the tiger-shaped mecha had already pounced, and it was too late.

With his full-vision interface active, Qin Shou watched the tiger-shaped mecha charge at him, his smile gradually fading.

Fatty Fang, I’m sorry. I just want to be a good person.

The way you’re going about chasing girls is truly disgraceful.

To set you on the right path, I have no choice but to do this.

Sigh, being a good person is just so hard.

Suddenly, Qin Shou reached for the insect instrument at his waist, arcs of electricity rippling across his body. A mechanical synthesized voice sounded instantly.

"Knight Kick!"

Turn. Kick!

"Boom!!"

In that instant, energy burst forth violently. Taken by surprise, Fang Bao saw his interface engulfed by blinding energy and began cursing.

"Qin Shou, you bastard...!"

"Bang!!"

The tiger-shaped mecha fell backward dozens of meters, crashing headfirst into the mechanical ruins and being buried in debris.

Bai Ke and Nan Xuewei, seeing this, were about to rush over to check on Fang Bao, only to watch him crawl out of the ruins, furious and storming toward the wine-red figure.

"Qin Shou, you liar! You promised not to hit me...!"

Qin Shou waved him off, "I didn’t lie. I never laid a hand on you."

Fang Bao: "..."

Meanwhile, Bai Ke and Nan Xuewei exchanged glances.

This guy is Qin Shou, which means he...
