Chapter 218: Chapter 147: This Life is Getting More and More Worthy of a Sentence

"What are you doing...?" Shu Chao Yu was horrified when a laser gun suddenly appeared in her hand. He’d never seen a model like it, but it looked terrifyingly real. "What are you doing!?"

Shu Yao aimed the gun at the "Big Bee." Ignoring his attempts to stop her, she fired without hesitation.

PEW!

A brilliant white laser beam shot toward the Big Bee, looking as if it was about to pierce right through the Flying Machine’s fuselage.

The Big Bee automatically activated its defense system. A protective barrier, like an energy shield, rose around it, blocking the laser beam. It was completely unscathed.

The other three—everyone but Shu Yao—stared, their jaws hanging open.

Shu Yao retracted the laser gun into her personal space. Taking in their expressions with her dark, gleaming eyes, she couldn’t resist boasting a little, "I’m the one who modified it. Not bad, huh?"

’Not bad? You call this "not bad"?’

Even if Song Xiaoxing went and bragged to his friends, he doubted any of them would believe what he’d seen today.

’How can anyone be this ridiculously amazing?!’

Shu Chao Yu finally managed to snap his jaw shut. He demanded with righteous indignation, "Why aren’t my Flying Machine and your eldest uncle’s this incredible!?"

Shu Yao offered a comparison. "If I have 100 points of spiritual power, modifying a Flying Machine like this costs me 70. I’ll work on yours and Eldest Uncle’s after I’ve had some time to recover."

Song Xiaoxing muttered a curse under his breath. "With skills this insane, why the hell are you applying to the Agricultural College?!"

’I just don’t get it!’

Shu Yao fretted, "It would be a shame to destroy it, but keeping it is basically criminal evidence. What am I going to do...?"

Shu Chao Yu remembered the day Shu Yao had used some kind of Magic to make a Flying Machine and the Austin family’s Mecha vanish without a trace.

"That Magic of yours—can you still use it?"

Gazing at the "Big Bee," Shu Yao shook her head and sighed. "I can’t anymore. It’s like us now. It has life and an independent consciousness. It’s a living organism."

Her personal space couldn’t store living things that had their own consciousness.

"Holy shit!" Song Xiaoxing exclaimed. "Don’t tell me you gave it a dual system!"

Civilian Flying Machines all had single-system piloting.

Shu Yao covered her face and nodded weakly.

Song Xiaoxing gasped and gave her a thumbs-up, his admiration coming from the bottom of his heart. "You’re a genius!"

Ke Dancheng also found it unbelievable. ’Sister Yao holed up in an abandoned school warehouse for one day and managed to pull off a project this massive!’

"This is too intense!" Shu Chao Yu clutched at his wildly pounding heart. "Are there any other surprises? Can’t you just tell me everything at once?"

The corner of Shu Yao’s mouth twitched. "That’s about it, I think."

’This alone was enough to get her a life sentence!’

Shu Chao Yu, still clutching his chest, said helplessly, "My dear girl, your uncle is useless. I really can’t get you out of this one!"

"Let me fly it away!" Song Xiaoxing said, his heart racing with temptation. "I’ll give you my Flying Machine in exchange!"

When he saw Shu Chao Yu raise his hand with a fierce look on his face as if to strike him, he instinctively ducked.

"I haven’t even made that offer yet! Who the hell are you? Get outta here!"

Shu Yao looked at Song Xiaoxing. "The main system is the original. The secondary system is hard-bound to me. You couldn’t steal it even if you tried."

Song Xiaoxing looked disappointed, but he wasn’t ready to give up just yet.

"Don’t worry, I’ll take the secret of you modifying this Flying Machine to my grave! And as for getting into the Agricultural College, leave it to me!" He sidled closer, shamelessly trying to butter her up. "It’s just... about my Flying Machine... when do you think you could give it an upgrade, huh?"

"We’ll see," Shu Yao said. "I just modified this one a couple of days ago. My spiritual power still hasn’t recovered."

"Great, great!" Song Xiaoxing was ecstatic. "Don’t you forget our deal!"

Shu Yao said, "Let’s just worry about getting through our current crisis first."

Song Xiaoxing started racking his brain, trying to help think of a solution.

Just then, Shu Chao Yu received a message from Chu Jiang, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"The people from the Zone One Traffic Police Headquarters are definitely coming for us," he relayed grimly. "Chu Jiang is doing his best to stall them, but they have a direct dispatch order from headquarters. He probably can’t hold them off for much longer."

Ke Dancheng seemed unwilling to give up. He stepped forward and slapped a Space Talisman he’d taken out onto the Big Bee’s fuselage. He only accepted defeat when he found it truly couldn’t be stored away.

Shu Chao Yu and Song Xiaoxing had no idea what he was trying to do.

"Go find your husband."

Ke Dancheng and Song Xiaoxing: "???"

The uncle was obviously talking to Shu Yao, not to them.

There was an intriguing look in Shu Chao Yu’s eyes. "Your husband is with Military Department One; he should have a solution. Even if he just gets a Military Department One license plate for it, when the people from the Zone One Traffic Police Headquarters get here, they won’t dare to touch it, even if they can tell it’s been modified."

"Your husband is a badass too!" Song Xiaoxing said with envy. "A license plate from Military Department One is a green plate! It gives you clearance across the entire zone. The Zone One Traffic Police Headquarters wouldn’t dare to touch it!"
