The Astounding Imperial Technology

Zu-zu-zu-zu-zu-zu…

The noise from the plane’s engine woke Mo Yanqui up. She struggled to lift her eyelids, and what greeted her after was the roof of the military green tent and a shadowless lamp over her head.

Where is… this place?

Faltering, Mo Yanqui tried to raise her hands. The simple action that was originally very easy, has now become a very difficult task for her. As she attempted to do so, her hands trembled violently.

What’s going on?

Is this really my own body?

This unfamiliar feeling… What the heck is this?

“You’re awake.” Just then, Yiyi opened the tent and walked in. She was wearing a blue-gray padded military trench coat, long boots on her feet, and a field cap of the same color as her coat. She had an amiable smile on her face. Through the gap in the tent, Mo Yanqui managed to see the golden sand outside.

“Ah… ak…” Mo Yanqui stretched her head with such difficulty, opened her mouth, and tried to utter words, but it was no avail. The only thing she could spit out were some meaningless sounds.

“Don’t waste your energy. That is the after-effect of the neural transfiguration. It will take you some time to slowly get used to it.” Yiyi said while looking at Mo Yanqui.

“Th… en…”

“Looks like you don’t really know how bad your situation is, do you?” Yiyi spread her hand, and then pulled out a small notebook from her coat’s pocket. She opened it and read it to her, “Shattered left eyeball, extensive burns all over your body, crushed right leg, fractured skull, as well as brain contusion, etc etc… So to speak, it’s a miracle that you’re still alive despite all that.”

“Of course, in order not to affect our next cooperation, we had to carry out a major overhaul to your body. At the same time, as the payment to our rescue, we took it upon ourselves to conduct experiments… on your body using the newest technologies. You can consider it as a product of a group of mad scientists’ brilliant ideas. To put it simply, the transfiguration is successful. First, look at your own appearance.” With that, Yiyi picked up a mirror from the side table and put it in front of Mo Yanqui, who also saw her new appearance.

Fortunately, it was just a “little” different from her previous look. Only her left eye has become a mechanical eye with a golden pupil and black sclera instead of white. Her original waist-length silver hair was also cut short to the ear-length.

By her side, Yiyi started her introducing each part: “This mechanical eye is the company’s latest <Single Soldier Battlefield Auxiliary Equipment> that can help you scan, analyze the battle situation, mark the enemy, find their weaknesses, assist in shooting, enter the battlefield map, change the field vision, and so on and so forth.

“At the same time, we use the biotechnology provided by our shareholders to modify your nerves, muscles, and brain cells— so that your reaction speed and physical strength can rise up to another new level.

“In consideration of your poor skeletal condition, we also used special techniques to reshape the bones in your body, enhancing their strength and toughness.

“As your skin is combined with the company’s latest nanotechnology, not only it will restore your skin like the original one, but it also greatly improves its resistance to fire, corrosion, and radiation… Of course, the side effect is that the current data of your body is completely different from the data in your memory, which is also the reason why it will take some time to slowly adapt to your new body.”

After the lecture, Mo Yanqui did not say anything and only closed her eyes. When Yiyi saw this, she revealed a mysterious smile, and said in a gentle manner, “I wish you good rest.” Then she exited the tent.

……

As Yiyi had said, Mo Yanqui needed some time to get used to her new body. After about two months, Mo Yanqui can finally talk normally and walk on the ground. And from Horton’s mouth, she also learned what happened and the outcome of it. Yi Yi’s people brought them to a desert country called Mercenary Paradise. For the sake of their own safety, Horton found a team of mercenaries he knew from the past and asked them to protect both him and Mo Yanqui. Not long after, Yiyi arrived. However, no matter how much Horton questioned Yiyi about her identity, the latter only said that she was Mo Yanqui’s partner. After Mo Yanqui fully recovered, Yiyi came again to find her.

“It’s good to see you healthy again, Miss Mo.” Yiyi greeted as she bowed to Mo Yanqui.

“This lady is no longer the eldest miss of the Mo family.” Mo Yanqui put on an eye patch of her left eye, matching her cold face, which looked a little more sinister than before.

She then said to Yiyi, “By the way, this lady has a question for you.”

“Go ahead.” Yiyi answered with a smile.

“Who exactly are you?” Mo Yanqui asked as she looked at Yiyi coldly. No matter how much she thought about it, Yiyi—, or the power of the forces behind her rather, was simply too unbelievable.

Upon hearing her question, Yiyi casually answered as if she had expected it: “My name is Yiyi. I’m a dispatched high-ranking agent under Ouroboros Mercenary and Armed Security Company. My employee code is 484-8748-5146. I can serve as a private escort and a military trainer. I can also infiltrate behind enemy lines, carry out terrorist activities, and do many other jobs. My special code name is  “Outsider” with a mission to cultivate agents, develop markets, sell weapons, and expand the company’s profits. Any more questions?”

Mo Yanqui thought for a moment before she asked her second question, “…Why did you choose this lady? With your power alone, it should be easy for you to expand your company’s business, right?”

“The answer is very simple.” Yiyi answered.  “Because the officer in charge of this mission was eliminated after underestimating the local natives too much, in desperation, the company had to use me as a backup plan. And to execute this mission, the only suitable person around that could help me was you. Therefore, I choose you.”#pleasereadthischapteratfanstranslation.com

“That…” Just when Mo Yanqui was about to ask her third question, Yiyi promptly interrupted her.

“It looks like the support from the company has finally arrived. Why don’t you go and have a look? There are many surprises.” Yiyi said as she raised her head to the sky, and then whistled. Mo Yanqui followed Yiyi’s line of sight. A transport plane flew towards the camp they were staying at and landed easily on the improvised flight line under the close watch of the mercenaries. As the hatch of the plane opened, the contents inside immediately attracted Mo Yanqui’s attention.

It was a platinum and gold mechanical robot with six-meter height and was covered with thick armor. Its left hand was equipped with a huge kite-shape shield adorned with gorgeous patterns, while on its right hand was a rapid-fire machine gun. The huge thruster on its back was enough proof that it was very powerful.

Looking at Mo Yanqui’s expression, Yiyi started introducing the masterpiece in front of them. “The “Paladin”. This is an infantry mechanical robot, weighing 69 tons and standing 6.24 meters tall. It is made of super titanium alloy and is equipped with a “Gringar” rapid-fire gun, a photon long sword, and a concealed anti-aircraft missile with a head machine gun. Its maximum flight speed can reach up to 1,569 kilometers per hour. It was equipped with a Chameleon System that allows it to change its body coating to any color at any point in time. It is the pride of the Armament Science and Technology Research Department, and now, it’s yours.”

“Then… how is this lady going to pay for this?” Mo Yanqui asked.

“Get the highest prestige at the fastest speed, and use the name of Ouroboros Company to attract more people to buy our military equipment and weapons.” Yiyi said as her eyes flashed a glint of light.

Mo Yanqiu stared at Yiyi’s eyes, trying to find something different in them, but she finally gave up.

“Very well, this lady promises… it’s not like this has a choice anyway.”
