Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Lin Luoran blinks her eyes. Staying in the alloy wall feels like getting stuck in the mud. It’s very uncomfortable.

Taking another breath, she merges with the wall again.

The matte silver wall goes back to normal without even a scratch. The winding aisle outside the warehouse is empty. Lin Luoran strolls in the wall, passing through several alloy walls. An arsenal stands in front of her.

Some equipment requires so much scientific knowledge that she doesn’t even know how to use.

But it doesn’t matter. Lin Luoran can still take them away. She sweeps around with the sacred pearl. As soon as the siren turns on, the lizard soldiers arrive.

However, the arsenal has already been robbed, clean and empty, like a joke on their slow pace!

“Oh no, the mecha!”

In the central control room, the Three-eyed Colonel suddenly stands up. His strong figure brings a lot of oppression to the lizard soldiers. Gaut Sutherland looks gloomed. “Go to the mecha room now!”

Several squads go out to the flanks. The mechas are stored in the largest warehouse on the starship, just under the central control room. Soldiers arrive in the blink of an eye.

As they approach, they hear something inside— Maybe there are too many mechas that the enemy hasn’t finished moving?

As fast as Lin Luoran is, she totally has the time to finish her job. But the neatly arranged mechas in rows remind Lin Luoran of Transformers she watched in her childhood. The mechas in the room look like thousands of transformed “Optimus Primes”. The smooth figure and detailed joints show her the charm of mecha!

Looking at the mecha for only a few seconds, Lin Luoran decides to take them all!

Thousands of mechas are moved into space and piled up until the space is full. The three monsters including fire phoenix come to talk with each other about these iron blocks… When the lizard soldiers rush in, there is only one new type of mecha in the room and woman in green.

What they heard was Lin Luoran curiously tapping the outer hatch of the mecha.

“You are late again…” Lin Luoran’s mumble is covered by heavy shooting sound.

She disappears in front of everyone and shows up inside the mecha.

The weapons only leave some slight white marks on the surface. After all, those are high-quality products. But Lin Luoran is still having a problem with the buttons inside. She has never learned how to operate mechas.

Suddenly, the indicating light in the operating cabin flashes. A virtual screen lights up.

“Please enter the password: ——”

Why is it a six-digit password? It’s not for the bank card. And how do I know what the password is!

“Please enter your password.”

This time it is a mechanical sound. Lin Luoran has heard it a few times when she enters the starship. She remembers the Alliance garrison called it the intelligent brain program. Has the Alpha Alliance already developed artificial intelligence? Lin Luoran is a bit excited. She shapes her spiritual mind into strings of threads, extending them into the mecha’s operating panel.

She first sees the delicate parts inside. The placement of the parts emerges in her mind like a draft.

Is it the mecha’s operation center? Lin Luoran is busy remembering what’s inside, regardless of the danger outside. Taking a closer look, she finds a small chip similar to a computer’s CPU. Silver lights flow on it like cables.

What a pity that I couldn’t have a clearer look. Lin Luoran can’t figure out this chip no matter how hard she tries. However, as she is to get out, something goes wrong in her ocean of consciousness. There seems to be light spilling over the eyes of the Fly Apsaras painted sculpture. Lin Luoran feels some pain in her eyes. When she opens them again, she can see the chip’s inside crystal clear!

Lines of figures composed of “0” and “1” show up in regular order. Lin Luoran doesn’t major in programming, and she hasn’t studied like forever. Yet she still realizes something in one second… Is this machine language?

Lin Luoran almost cries. If she had known that the Alpha Alliance also used the “binary system”, she would have learned it hard! Now even as a cultivator in the last stage of Bearing Essence, she still has no clue what the figures are about. It’s like robbing a bank with no gun.

“It is not fun at all.”

Her spiritual mind has not been collected. The few words in her mind seem to frighten the well-arranged figures.

Lin Luoran suddenly hears a timid child’s voice doubting. “Isn’t it fun?”

She freezes for a moment. The voice keeps asking. “Isn’t it fun?”

Lin Luoran nods without thinking. “It’s not fun, because I don’t know the password.”

The child’s voice sounds happier and prouder. “I know the password. Let me tell you.”

“But who are you?” The silver light on the chip circulates. “0”s and “1”s are flashing. Is this mecha chatting with her?

The unknown voice is a bit slow. But it finally feels something strange. It asks Lin Luoran. “Why can you talk with me?”

Mecha? Is it really this mecha talking to her?

Lin Luoran wants to roll her eyes. She has heard of plants becoming monsters, but how can a mecha have consciousness? Is she just chatting with a program? Lin Luoran is about to leave the mecha. Suddenly someone taps the keyboard. The six blanks on the virtual screen are filled.

The password is correct? — What is going on?

…

“Attention. Target No. 1… is operating a mecha to the central control room!”

Lizard soldiers have perfect tongues to speak. They are just surprised that an earth cultivator can operate the mecha… Interstellar technology and cultivation civilization are two different systems. How can they coexist?!

Lin Luoran “operates” the mecha all the way to the central control room.

Lizard soldiers do have powerful weapons, but the mecha she is in is made of rare metal on earth. It is as hard as the alloy starship. Unfortunately, it has been taken by Lin Luoran before shipped back to the alliance.

“When did you find me?” Lin Luoran asks.

“Since you got in the alloy wall. Why did you do that?” The child-like voice asks her in return. It seems to have tons of questions.

Lin Luoran is speechless.

How should she explain whether it is fun to get in the wall, especially to this unknown being with an insanely high IQ and an insanely low EQ?

Speaking of it, why does she feel herself playing with a child?

Stop it. She comes to cause trouble!

…

“Colonel! Four thousand eight hundred mechas in five arsenals have gone missing…” Gaut Sutherland has never been so frustrated.

The Alpha Alliance has acquired a lot of cultivators’ stuff like the Storage Bag and the Storage Bracelet. With certain authority, anyone in the alliance can have access to these materials. The problem is Gaut Sutherland has never expected that an earth cultivator can create an item and take it with her which is big enough to accommodate thousands of mechas in five arsenals.

Isn’t this a nightmare? Gaut Sutherland trusts the technology of the alliance. The world is also dominated by technology.

They can cross the galaxy, destroy stars, and even create black holes. Why can’t they deal with a cultivator from Earth the rabble planet?

“Intelligent brain program, cut off the mecha operating system!”

This batch of mechas is made independently by the starship. There has always been an emergency order. The three-eyed colonel calms down.

Gaut Sutherland blushes. His pupils spread apart. That’s what aliens from Caesar Star are like when they feel ashamed.

As an alliance soldier, he still has a lot to learn!

“……Roger that.”

The program’s answer is a bit slow. The colonel wonders. But this program of the starship has been running for many years without making mistakes. He quickly forgets about it.

The mecha is blocked outside the alloy gate to the central control room. The Alpha Alliance has studied cultivators for years. It knows how to deal with them to some degree. A net completely covers the mecha. It is extremely extensible, for the material comes from a plant of the lizardmen’s home planet. It is said that it can eliminate cultivators’ Wakan— “Wakan” is such an attractive and unreachable thing for the Alpha Alliance.

If you can’t get it, you can restrict the use of it.

If you can never get it, then wipe out the “owners”.

That is the unchanging law of the universe.

As the light inside the mecha goes out, the colonel orders to pull the net.

Held in a net, the bulky mecha hangs upside down.

“Intelligent brain program, melt the net and open the mecha hatch!”

After a long period of silence, there is a mechanical reply.

“……Roger that.”

The net that can eliminate cultivators’ Wakan melts into liquid. While the mecha hatch opens, the liquid flows into it.

Why hasn’t the cultivator resisted? Three-eyed colonel waits patiently for five minutes before allowing the robot to open the hatch and take the restrained cultivator out.

With her eyes shut, Lin Luoran is brought out by two robots.

Gaut Sutherland finally gets to see the female cultivator, the girl who made him lose face at the town hall dinner. The colonel also smiles. This plant extract does work.

Taken close to the two delighted men, Lin Luoran suddenly opens her eyes.

Her gorgeous eyes shine like stars. Lin Luoran seems to smile with them.

Gaut Sutherland hears her holding back a burst of laughter and says, “Xiaozhi, arrest them.”

“Roger that.” The program answers without hesitation. Even the mechanical voice sounds a bit naughty.

White smoke suddenly leaks out above the central control room. Including lizard soldiers, the colonel, and Captain Gaut, no one escapes it—They all fall into sleep.
