Snow Star Airspace

The rebel ranks were in chaos.

First, their morale was toyed with by Rong Shi, then they suffered a fatal blow from Song Yu. The commanders, including Lin Quan, were all on the verge of a mental breakdown, completely unable to remain calm.

They called for an emergency war council, but aside from arguments, nothing was discussed.

Lu Youqi frequently glanced at the surveillance screen, his heart in his throat.

The Lu family was already on the edge of a cliff. If they couldn’t turn the tables, he and his son would likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.

He was old, so it didn’t matter, but his son was only eighteen, his life just beginning.

“Lu Youqi!”

In a daze, he suddenly heard Lin Quan’s angry shout. Lu Youqi snapped back to reality.

Lin Quan’s brow was furrowed, his face grim and ugly. “This is what a struggle for power is like. Isn’t it a bit too late for regrets now?”

At this point, his life was on the line. He had nothing left to fear and no desire to hold back any longer.

“Winner takes all, loser is wrong. There’s indeed nothing to regret. I just suddenly can’t remember why I chose to cooperate with you. It’s practically led the Lu family into a pit of fire.”

“You—!” Lin Quan was furious. “You’re a good-for-nothing yourself, yet you blame others. The people of the Lu family are truly something else!”

Lu Youqi’s face darkened. Just as he was about to retort, he saw a flash of white in the corner of his eye. He turned his head to look, his face showing astonishment.

The others saw his expression and followed his gaze, instantly dumbfounded.

Among the majestic mechas and fighter jets, a tender white bunny had suddenly appeared?!

At the same time, many in the student legion also noticed this.

The public channel was filled with gasps.

“Isn’t that the toy mecha the beautiful Song gave to the Chairman?!”

“A bunny is so cute. Is it appropriate for the Chairman to pilot it?”

“What the fuck! Why did the Chairman bring out the bunny?!”

“Protect our Chairman!”

The bunny’s shell was round and smooth, with no sharp edges. With its cute appearance, it traversed the battlefield with a deadpan expression.

Thinking that the person piloting it was the Chairman, everyone felt a strong sense of dissonance.

If they weren’t on a battlefield, they would have been taking pictures.

At the same time, Song Yu watched the flying bunny mecha on the screen, his mood excellent.

The enemy was in constant retreat. He was even in the mood to interact with the audience in the live stream.

Seeing a stream of disbelief in the comment section, Song Yu chuckled. “Don’t you think he and this mecha are a perfect match?”

Comment Section—

“Not at all!”

“Chairman Rong: My wife’s aesthetic sense is worrying.”

“The Chairman is such a domineering alpha. Why is he piloting such a soft and cute mecha? Is it really not a toy?”

“It doesn’t look sturdy at all.”

“Tell him to come back quickly. This is a battlefield!”

“Your Highness, a ten-thousand-person petition, we kneel and beg you to give the Chairman a Z_MAX999!”

“No taste.” Seeing so much opposition, Song Yu rested his chin on his hand, his gaze following the bunny on the screen. “He doesn’t know how much I love it.”

Qin Luo, who had just entered the command cabin: “…”

There’s a kind of love called ‘you think he loves it.’

Rong Shi didn’t know how much attention his actions had drawn. He locked onto Lu Ming and flew at full speed.

Lu Ming had just damaged a mecha. Hearing the system warning, he spun around sharply, only to see a bunny as tall as his own mecha standing behind him, looking over with a blank expression.

He was stunned for a moment, then lost his mind with rage. A row of cannon muzzles on the mecha’s arms all opened, and twenty tracking missiles flew toward Rong Shi simultaneously.

If it weren’t for Rong Shi, he wouldn’t be in this situation!

It was all Rong Shi’s fault!

“Fuck!” Liu Hong couldn’t sit still. He fired a few tracking missiles at Lu Ming and rushed over at full speed.

The Chairman’s lifelong reputation can’t be ruined by this toy mecha.

But no matter how fast he was, he wasn’t as fast as the tracking missiles.

As the bunny mecha was about to be blown to bits, the hearts of the onlookers were in their throats.

But Rong Shi showed no awareness of being hunted. He glanced at the control panel and unhurriedly activated the mecha’s shield.

Following his command, the bunny mecha crouched down, its two long ears drooping to cover its front, turning it into a giant ball.

The tracking missiles bombarded it, and dust filled the air.

A gust of wind blew by, and the bunny mecha was completely unscathed.

Public Channel—

“It can actually block twenty tracking missiles from a Z_MAX999! This bunny is something else!”

“It looks so soft, but it’s really hard!”

“Something given by the beautiful Song is indeed not simple!”

“Hahaha, the bunny is depressed.”

Lu Ming’s first attack failed. He drew his long sword and lunged.

The long sword was made with the most advanced metal synthesis technology and was the hardest and most offensive weapon on this mecha.

Rong Shi could check the mecha’s overall form and the operational status of each part through the mecha system.

Seeing the bunny crouch down, he shook his head and chuckled.

This was like making the bunny’s ears act as a propeller. It must have been little kitten Song’s idea.

Just as he stood up, the tip of the sword was already in front of him.

Rong Shi quickly sidestepped to dodge.

---

In front of the live stream screen, during a lull in the attack, Song Yu acted as a battle commentator.

“Lu Ming stabs straight with his long sword, brother retreats to dodge… Lu Ming spins and counter-stabs, brother sidesteps to dodge… brother dodges… brother dodges again… brother is still dodging…”

Towards the end, his tone grew cold.

Comment Section—

“Awoooo, I can actually hear His Highness the Prince commentating!”

“Heavens! His Highness’s voice is so nice to listen to!”

“I feel like there’s no need for commentary. The Chairman has no fighting spirit at all.”

“Chairman, if you don’t fight back, His Highness is going to get angry, hahaha—”

Song Yu watched Rong Shi lead Lu Ming on a chase, his face cold. He didn’t want to lose his temper at him, but he didn’t want to hold it in either. He turned and found a punching bag.

“Why does that warship look like a mouse? Blow it up.”

[00: Roger!]

A few minutes later, the viewers in the live stream saw a flash of light on the screen. A small warship on the surveillance footage exploded into cosmic dust.

Song Zheng had just finished a meeting with Qian Li and the others. Seeing this scene, he was both shocked and helpless.

This son of his is truly unrestrained when he gets wild.

But it had to be said, not everyone had this kind of魄力 (guts/daring).

Snow Star

Lu Ming had used every trick he could, but he couldn’t harm Rong Shi in the slightest.

His mentality shattered.

“Stop wasting time with him! Break through! Find Ji Ming!”

The urgent voice of his father, Lu Youqi, came through his earpiece. Lu Ming said, exasperated, “Lin Quan’s plan has completely failed. What’s the use of finding Ji Ming now?!”

“The battle on the Imperial Capital Star isn’t over yet! We haven’t lost!” Lu Youqi said sternly. “As long as we win, we are the side of justice!”

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and turned his mecha towards the military academy.

Rong Shi’s warship had been to the military academy. It was highly likely that Ji Ming was hidden there by him.

Just as he flew out, the mecha issued a warning.

The screen in front of him shook. He braked urgently and raised his sword to block.

Clang! A loud noise echoed.

Lu Ming’s hand on the control stick went numb from the vibration.

A long orange object appeared before him. He took a closer look and saw that it was a carrot.

“Is this all you’ve got?”

Rong Shi’s clear, cold voice came from the bunny mecha.

Lu Ming let out a low roar and fought back with all his might.

With the carrot long sword in hand, Rong Shi unleashed a series of combos that caught Lu Ming completely off guard.

The students on the battlefield who saw this were stunned.

“The Chairman is fighting back with a carrot!”

“What a fierce bunny! Go, Chairman!”

“The bunny’s combos are so smooth! As expected of Father Rong!”

“His fighting posture is so cool!”

“Fuck! Lu Ming’s left forearm has already short-circuited!”

“What the fuck! Lu Ming’s right hand has been severed!”

A chorus of screams echoed through the public channel. Everyone was fired up by this bunny’s fighting.

As if testing the mecha’s performance, Rong Shi didn’t rush to attack vital points. The carrot long sword in his hand left scars on Lu Ming’s mecha at a rate of two strikes per second.

It was as if he was trying to shave it down piece by piece.

Lu Ming activated the highest defense mode, but Rong Shi still found a breakthrough in an instant, shattering his defense with one hit. He was forced back again and again, with no room to fight back.

---

On the high platform in Training Hall Number One, Chen Chen and Hu Feng continuously sent summarized information to Rong Shi. Chen Mu was dedicated to hacking into the enemy warships’ AI, looking for opportunities to cause trouble.

Seeing the battle on the virtual screen, Hu Feng said, “This fighting style really messes with your head.”

Chen Chen shook his head and sighed lightly. “The Chairman is too ruthless. If you piss him off, I don’t know if you’ll be crippled, but your mentality will definitely shatter, and you’ll have no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy.”

Chen Mu’s hands never stopped typing on the keyboard. He casually interjected, “I think the Chairman is doing the right thing. There’s no need to be soft on the enemy. You should fight back in the most painful way possible.”

For someone like Lu Ming, knocking him to the ground wasn’t the most painful thing. His arrogant pride should be trampled on the ground, ground under the tip of a shoe bit by bit.

On the battlefield, seeing that the situation with Lu Ming was not right, three enemy mechas flew over.

Liu Hong cursed and was about to rush over to support Rong Shi, but was stopped by Qiu Tianhao.

Qiu Tianhao: “Carry out your own mission. We don’t need to worry about the Chairman.”

Liu Hong gritted his teeth and followed Qiu Tianhao in another direction.

He understood the logic, he just couldn’t stand seeing the enemy outnumbering and bullying them!

But soon, he took back his words.

No matter how many of them there were, against Rong Shi, they were the ones who would be bullied.

Rong Shi landed with his sword. Behind him, three mechas fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground. Their main circuits had all been severed, and they could no longer move.

He continued to walk towards Lu Ming.

The circuits in Lu Ming’s mecha’s arms and legs had all been severed, and he could no longer move.

Rong Shi raised his sword and swept it horizontally, severing the joints on his mecha’s knees.

The mecha lost its balance and fell to its knees.

Rong Shi’s gaze swept over the fighters and mechas flying towards him from all directions, then fell on Lu Ming’s mecha.

“I’ve already given you a chance.”

Lu Ming desperately smashed the control panel. “Move! Move for me!”

Seeing Rong Shi’s sword stabbing towards him, his heart pounded, and he reached for the rope of the emergency escape pod.

The cockpit tilted downwards and was loaded into the escape pod, ejecting the moment the hatch closed.

But just as it ejected from the mecha, the escape pod was pierced by a sword.

Rong Shi held the escape pod up in front of him, looking at Lu Ming inside, who was pale and trembling all over. He suddenly felt very bored.

A person like this was not worthy of being his opponent.

If he had to say, only little kitten Song met his requirements for an opponent.

Unfortunately, he was already his wife.

Laser beams rained down. Rong Shi deliberately used Lu Ming’s escape pod to block the attacks, causing a circle of enemy forces to surround them, but no one dared to move.

This was the young master of the Lu family inside. Who would dare to shoot?!

Rong Shi carried the escape pod and swaggered out of the encirclement, blowing up a dozen fighters along the way.

He fought and commanded at the same time. The bunny mecha swept across the battlefield, unstoppable.

The student legion’s morale was boosted by Rong Shi’s fighting style, and they gradually found their own rhythm.

[01: Master, holding this little brother hostage is draining a lot of energy. My reserves are low.]

Rong Shi handed the fainted Lu Ming over to his subordinates for custody. His gaze swept over the enemy’s main warships, his voice low. “Use it freely. I’ll go steal some food for you.”

In the command cabin, Lin Quan suddenly shuddered.

In these five hours, the battle situation had become increasingly unfavorable for them. If this dragged on, energy supply, reinforcements, and medical care would all become problems.

“Warning! Energy system malfunction! Energy consumption is too fast. Please perform maintenance or a system self-check immediately.”

The warship AI’s warning suddenly sounded.

During the holographic conference call, Lin Yue also heard this warning. He sneered, “This trick again. Ignore it, it’s fake!”

The entire allied army had suffered from a false warning before. This time, none of them believed it.

The alarms sounded one after another, the intervals becoming shorter each time.

Lin Quan felt something was wrong and still sent someone to check.

The maintenance personnel walked unhurriedly towards the energy bay. Just as they opened the hatch, the first two were sucked out of the warship by a huge gust of air.

The person at the back fell to the ground in fright and crawled out on all fours.

“N-not good!” he stumbled into the command cabin. “There’s a huge hole in our energy bay!”

“What?!”

All the commanders looked over in unison.

Lin Quan’s face was grim. He slammed his fist heavily on the conference table.

“What about the energy?!”

The maintenance personnel: “I-I didn’t see clearly. Probably four reactors were sucked out!”

There were six large reactors in total, and four were gone!

Lin Quan had his men bring up the surveillance footage of the undamaged energy bay. When he saw the bunny mecha flying in through the breach, he gritted his teeth in anger.

“Everyone, move! Full search! If you find the enemy, kill them on the spot!”

---

Rong Shi flew towards the ground, carrying four stolen energy stone reactors on his back.

[01: Four, four! There are still two more I didn’t have time to grab, but I’m very satisfied with four! Ehehehe—]

“There’s at least four tons here. You can’t eat this much,” Rong Shi’s voice was faint.

[01: Then I’ll eat three and leave one for my brother.]

Just as he finished, 00’s voice sounded in Rong Shi’s mind.

[00: Grandpa 00 wants three too.]

[01: QuQ Then we’ll split them evenly. I can’t go any lower.]

[00: Mhm!]

Rong Shi: “…”

If this continues, 01 is going to be completely dominated by 00.

Just as he penetrated the atmosphere, 01’s warning sounded.

[01: Master, be careful! A heavy particle cannon is aimed this way!]

Even a grazing hit from that thing could disintegrate a mecha.

Rong Shi increased his power and flew forward at full speed.

Lu Youqi’s gaze was fixed on the bunny carrying four giant blue rocks on the screen. He waved his hand and gave the order.

“Fire!”

The particle cannon broke through the atmosphere and shot straight towards the bunny mecha.

But before it could hit the mecha, it was intercepted midway.

Lu Youqi was stunned. He quickly searched through the various virtual screens for the object that had intercepted the particle cannon.

Three medium-sized warships in the fleet suddenly exploded. In less than five seconds, another ten small warships exploded.

The command cabin was in chaos.

“Above!”

A programmer at the console zoomed in on a certain coordinate and finally saw the target.

A vast fleet was speeding towards them, pressing down on them from above.

Seeing the insignia on the fleet’s hulls, Lu Youqi’s expression turned gloomy, and he grew more irritable.

It’s the First Legion, the legion he hated the most!

Noticing the commotion behind him, Rong Shi stopped and turned his perspective to look.

A communication request came in. He accepted it with a thought.

A virtual screen showed an alpha in a military uniform. He bore some resemblance to him, only older.

Rong Guang sat in the command seat of the First Legion, looking at his son on the screen, the corners of his lips turning up.

“Yo, son. That’s a nice outfit.”

Rong Shi’s face was expressionless, his voice faint. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
