The beautiful purple reflects a dreamy brilliance on the snow. The scattered energy formed a suspended mist above the flames, and the monstrous ice butterfly limbs and excessively bright red were burned away in the bright-colored fire.

It was like a cinematic art shot that was cleverly constructed and presented on the giant screen. At this moment, there was only the noise of energy, wind, and ice in the snowy plains, but everyone seemed to still be able to hear the roar of the mecha engines, and the howling of the ice butterflies.

They were all still immersed in the thrilling battle just now.

Above the desolate star, the wind and snow were getting stronger, mixed with ice particles containing special energy, which made a crackling sound and scratched the shell of the mecha.

Rong Mi's thoughts quickly turned away from the group of ice butterflies he had just encountered.

Killing a few low-level ice butterflies is really easy. In Rong Mi's opinion, the desolate star is more troublesome than the ice butterfly now.

The planet's storm energy is so terrifying that it can even destroy the outer shell of the mecha.

In a few moments, the high-energy ice fragments caught in the wind would do more than just leave scratches on the armor's shell; 80% of them would also smash dents or even cracks in the shell.

After all, C-class mechas are indeed not very robust.

This place is desolate. There is no mecha repair station nearby, and the damage cannot be repaired in a short time.

Rong Mi: I have to find a place to hide.

The black mecha turned lightly, its thrusters burned and passed through the gradually extinguishing energy flames.

The sound of the mecha's engine sounded again, reactivating the comment area that had just been quiet.

“……”

"Awesome." A new reply appeared in the comment area that had been stagnant for a while.

"Rong Mi's operation is amazing. It's so detailed! It doesn't matter whether there is a script or not. His handling of the mecha... I can't even compare to it."

The nickname of the commenter is followed by a copper-colored flashing badge with the word AA on it, proving that this person has the qualification of a professional mecha master certified by the All Human Federation, and is a rare double A-level mecha master.

The certification of professional mecha masters ranges from level F to level 3A. There are no further divisions from level 3A upwards.

Double A and Triple A level certifications are extremely difficult to obtain. The top mecha divisions in the federal civilian fleet are usually only A-level, and double-A and 3A-level mecha divisions usually only exist in the military headquarters.

"Ahem, I originally wanted to say that if I have a script, I can practice it in advance..." After a moment, someone below replied, "But the boss suddenly appeared upstairs. The boss said no... I didn't dare to say it. "

"This cannot be accomplished by assault training, nor is it a level that can be achieved after one or two years of training." The double-A mecha master explained carefully, "After Rong Mi removes the weight from the mecha, he needs to rely on experience to re-estimate the strength of the mecha. Maximum speed. This can be achieved with 'script'."

"But in the subsequent high-speed movements, his mastery of the balance of the Mecha Hiramori was perfect. Every turn driven by the power system of his hands and feet was clean and neat, and the timing of every knife move was just right... …”

"These things cannot be achieved through a short period of dead training. What is needed is tens of millions of mecha combat training stacks, understanding and thinking about combat, and the talent to pilot mechas."

"What's more, Rong Mi also used his mental power to perform mecha-assisted operations."

"His mental power is freely retractable and works perfectly with the weapons and power systems of the mecha.  If I didn't know that he was using a standard C-class mech equipped for the competition, I would have assumed that he was fighting with one of the top A-class mechs from the military ministry.”

The double-A mecha master typed quickly, and after a moment's pause, he threw out another bomb.

"In addition, I personally believe that the Ice Butterfly Zerg on the screen is not fake."

“……”

“……”

“……”

The comment section was quiet for a moment.

"...Boss, this is nonsense." Someone said weakly, "It is the Safe Star Territory! How could it not be fake? How can Rong Mi act so calmly if the Ice Butterflies were not fake?"

"I just came back from a rotation in the war zone." The double-A boss spoke calmly, "The ice butterflies Rong Mi encountered... their behavior when attacked, and the wavelength of energy waves they emitted... were all precisely the same as what I had seen in the war zone. "

"I don't know if the program team has reported the situation to the police and the military, but I have informed my superiors and sent a signal to the patrol team near the barren star to investigate in advance."

"It looks like there is going to be a snowstorm on the deserted star during the competition. Snowstorms are the favorite activity environment of ice butterflies. Generally speaking, Ice Butterflies will leave their underground lairs and start hunting during snowstorms....... The situation on the Desolate Planet is very dangerous right now.”

*

The blizzard has arrived.

Rong Mi let go of his mental energy and scanned the nearby terrain, then operated the mecha to leave the snowfield where the cocoon lair was located, and quickly ran towards the distant mountains.

He moved forward against the wind, gradually increasing his power propulsion in order to maintain his speed.

Despite this, the mecha eventually slowed down, and it took half an hour to finally enter the outer reaches of the mountains.

Rong Mi leaned against a boulder with his back to the wind, breathed a sigh of relief, and used his mental power to scan the surrounding scenery.

Rong Mi: Safe for now

He relaxed his body, opened the pilot's helmet, and pushed open the mecha holder.

After being reborn, Rong Mi finally had the time to catch his breath.

The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat back in the driver's seat, and rubbed his temples vigorously.

The mental realm that had been in great pain since regaining consciousness finally gradually calmed down, and what surged up at the same time was this body's past.

A steady stream of memories flooded his mind.

After a while, Rong Mi finally understood what was going on.

He had indeed died and been reborn in the old era known as the Glorious Years, one hundred years before the beginning of humanity's interstellar nomadic period.

Because a large amount of historical data has been lost, Rong Mi actually doesn't know much about the old era.

But he knew that the old era ended with a raid by the Ice Butterflies on humans.

Rong Mi: It seems that the merits I have accumulated for many years have finally exploded, and I have reached a good time to be reborn.

He went back to before the raid that displaced humanity.

Glorious old times.

At this time, humans are also facing the threat of the Ice Butterfly Zerg, but they have a galaxy to live in, stable energy and survival resources, and natural healers that have not yet completely gone "extinct".

The Rong family to which he originally belonged was the most famous family of healers in this era.

Rong Mi happens to have the same name as the original owner of this body.

The original mental strength was C, and he was a low-level D-level therapist.

Instead of becoming a therapist, he became an artist on StarNet, joining a boy band called “Phantom Chords”.

Because his parents are senior therapists in the family, they spent money and connections to protect him along the way. Soon the original owner also had his own exclusive virtual stage and music space on Star Network. He attended various virtual music festivals and his life was going smoothly.

Until half a year ago, the war zone where the original owner's parents were serving was raided by Ice Butterfly. Both of them died in the war, and the original owner's situation took a turn for the worse.

After being retaliated against in the circle and receiving negative press, life was difficult and his StarNet music space and virtual stage were forced to close.

Three months ago, the head of the Rong family recalled Rong Mi and asked him to go to the Lu family and serve as the therapist for the current head of the Lu family.

Although the original owner grew up in the Rong family, he used to do whatever he wanted under the protection of his parents. He didn't pay much attention to the legions, war zones, and federal families. He didn't even know the name of the current head of the Lu family.

He only knew that the head of the Lu family was a federal general and the commander of the First Legion of the Border Army. His mental strength reached 2S+, which was the peak of mental strength recorded in human history.

In such a mental realm, even the most advanced S-class therapists currently owned by the Federation cannot enter and treat him. It should not be possible for D-class therapists like the original owner to be able to treat him.

However, the opponent was seriously injured while repelling the Zerg raid. His mental condition was in danger and he continued to fall into a coma.

After the Lu family invited several S-level therapists to no avail, they began to rely on a therapist with a high matching degree of divine power ripples to be able to help.

They entered the mental power ripple library for expression matching, and the only therapist they found who matched more than 50% of the Lu family's mental power was the original owner with a matching degree of 51.

Rong Mi:......

The matching rate between the original body and the legion commander has just reached 50%. It is not impossible to be treated beyond their own level, but a crossing of so many levels... is indulging in a fantasy.

The Lu family was clearly indiscriminately seeking treatment for an acute illness.

This family has a good reputation in the Federation.

Although they were anxious, they were not unreasonable. After contacting the Rong family, they first asked about the wishes of the Rong family and the original owner.

The original owner initially agreed.

Rong Yan, the head of the Rong family, promised that if the original person was willing to go to the war zone to try to treat Lu Yi, even if it only made the general's mental condition slightly better, he would help him solve all the troubles in his current life and give him enough financial support. No matter whether the treatment is effective or not, he can continue to be a star network singer again.

For the sake of his musical dream, the original owner reluctantly nodded in agreement but felt very uneasy inside.

But before he was waiting to leave for the war zone, he heard a lot of "gossip" that outsiders didn't know.

The most common thing he heard was eldest brother Rong Yu lamenting and regretting.

It was said that the legion commander's mental realm was almost out of order, and he would break out and hurt people from time to time. The guards around him had changed several rounds in the past few months, and they were probably accidentally killed by him when he lost control of his mental power.

It is also said that the other party was already cold in character and became even more wary after being seriously injured.  Because of his strange sobriety when he was raided in the war zone, the general is now very wary of strangers. If he behaves slightly wrong, he will be sent to the interrogation room for mental interrogation.

It was also said that the silver wolf raised by the admiral was eager to protect his master, and therefore became more aggressive, biting anyone he saw, seriously injuring several S-class healers.

Frightened, the original owner fled in the night before leaving for the war zone.

The Lu family was furious as a result, and the head of the Rong family was so enraged that he wanted to capture the original owner and escort him back to the Lu family's starship while punishing him at the same time.

However, it was the injured legion commander who finally woke up from his coma and made it clear that he would comply with his original wishes, which only then caused the Rong family to cave in.

It's just that the original person has been struggling ever since, running into obstacles everywhere.

He borrowed money from everywhere to live but couldn't pay back the money. When he was being chased and beaten, his cousin Rong Yu went to see him. He relied on his cousin's relationship to get into such a mecha competition survival variety show.

"It's a bit hard, but the contract amount is high, and you can make a lot of money by running a live broadcast room during the competition! This time the program team is going to create a cross-border mecha division team, and now they have decided to hire Yu Tiantian. He's also a singer. Didn't you like him before? Just go in as a team and hang out until the end. It's not as dangerous as you think."

"It's a sure profit!"

Rong Mi: "..."

In competitive mecha competitions, the audience comes to watch the competition of skills.

This kind of mecha project is now highly competitive, and the competition program team took a different approach this time, trying to get Star Network singers to participate in the program to attract some external traffic.

But things went counterproductive. Yuan Shen and Yu Tiantian didn't bring much traffic when they appeared on the show. Instead, they were teased and abused by the audience.

The original body is indeed not suitable for this kind of competition.

He was even more unlucky to be dragged down by his pig teammates, fell into the ice butterfly's cocoon fluid, and died of panic and suffocation.

Then when he opened his eyes again, it was Rong Mi who came from the interstellar nomadic era.

Rong Mi: "..."

Rong Mi was in a complicated mood.

It can't be said that the original’s fate was a bad one, it can only be said that he was unlucky.

But for Rong Mi, he had nothing to complain about being able to live again.

The original background was complicated, leaving behind a mess of betrayal with the commander of the First Legion, and he was heavily in debt.

It's not even that difficult.

"...It's wrong to go back on your word." Rong Mi said to himself and had a one-line communication with the original owner, "And why did you stand him up? Why don't you even remember the name of this regiment commander or what he looks like..."

Rong Mi didn't need to think too much, he knew that he would join the army in the future.

Becoming a military mecha division is the lifestyle he is most accustomed to and the most comfortable with.

He will definitely not go to the First Army, but he can't guarantee when he will meet the commander of the First Army.

If he didn't recognize him at that time, wouldn't he step on a big mine!

Fortunately, Rong Mi still had some vague impressions of the last military officials of the old era.

He vaguely remembered that the last commander of the First Legion was named Lu. He was quite young and had gray hair.

In the photo, he looks serious, and he looks very uncomfortable to talk to. According to the records, this legion commander had outstanding military exploits, but had a bad temper and had a bad habit of nepotism.

Rong Mi was too lazy to deal with the trouble. The original owner had offended this big boss named Lu, so Rong Mi would just stay away from him from now on.

According to his memory, the other party should have lived before the ice butterflies attacked humans. That assuredly means finding the right therapist.

Rong Mi: At least the First Army Commander doesn’t have to worry about him anymore.

He relaxed his body, thought carefully, and continued the one-way communication with his original body.

"Before I came here, you must have suffocated to death in the ice butterfly energy liquid...it felt uncomfortable. I'll help you find out what happened."

"I will help you live the rest of your life."

"Oh yes, there is also this competition..."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched his waist.

Relying on his original memory, Rong Mi found the panoramic live broadcast camera embedded in the waist of the mecha uniform issued by the program, took it off, and took a look at it.

In front of the audience, Rong Mi's face suddenly zoomed in on the camera.

“……”

Because of the speculation from the double-A-level mecha master, the information in the comment area was refreshing rapidly.

Some people shouted that it could never be the real Ice Butterfly and suspected that the boss was invited by the program team to heighten the atmosphere. Some people were explaining to the boss about the latest holographic technology, and some people were feeling uneasy and afraid of what might happen. The boss is right, he is constantly calling the program team's contact office.

However, when Rong Mi's face suddenly came closer, the entire comment area froze for a second.

"...Why do you suddenly have such a big face...! Save your life! The old man was almost fainted by the handsome ...... cough.”

"Uh, the straight guy upstairs? You're embarrassed by a good-looking boy, aren't you?"

"Who knows, why do I think Rong Mi has become more handsome?! Did he have some plastic surgery? I can't tell. It seems that his facial features are more three-dimensional and the outline is more distinct... In other words, he is more handsome! He looks better when he smiles!"

"Don't talk about those things that are there or not! Rong Mi! Rong Mi, can you see the comments! A double-A mecha master from the military department said that the ice butterflies you encountered are all real...! Come back to the Safe Area! Run! If it’s a real ice butterfly, it’s dangerous for you to stay on the ice field!”

"Calm down upstairs. I think the double-A boss has not returned to the safe zone for too long and underestimated the technological progress of holographic projection in the past few years.  Not to say anything else, if the ice butterfly is real ......Can Rong Mi beat it?!”

"That's an ice butterfly! People like us who have never been out of the safe zone, although everyone has seen the images in the Zerg science class, but who has seen a real ice butterfly!  The kind that can move and kill! It's more like being stunned directly!”

"...When you said this upstairs, Yu Tiantian's fear of collapse suddenly seemed reasonable..."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what may happen! What if Rong Mi thinks it's fake but it's actually true! Rong Mi, look at the comment section!——"

Rong Mi had no intention of opening the comment area.

He is not very enthusiastic about interacting with strangers.

What's more, regarding the original owner's memory, although he was scolded in the comment section, some of the words were too dirty and it hurt his eyes. He didn't like to cause trouble for himself.

Rong Mi casually glanced at the camera, turned on the full shielding setting, and directly blocked the camera in the mecha's cockpit. Then he placed it upside down in the mecha's storage box, completely ignoring the live broadcast room.

Not to mention the wails of the live broadcast room crying out for him not to turn off the camera.

Rong Mi dealt with the camera and then calculated his debts and possible profits from this competition.

It is impossible to completely offset the original debt through the income from this competitive show, so we can only do our best.

Because the mecha competition is dangerous, the contract amount for signing up to participate in the competition is not low. The original owner has been live broadcasting for a while, and although he received mostly negative comments, the popularity was not too bad due to his black fans, and he received a lot of live broadcast bonuses.

In addition, the team owner who ranks first in the elimination round of the mecha competition show, as well as the top three individual players, will receive high bonuses set by the competition show.

The program team was afraid that the participating mecha pilots would adopt "turtle" tactics due to the dangerous competition environment, which would reduce the visibility of the program, so they set up a monetary temptation very straightforwardly.

There are three hundred contestants in the knockout round of the competition, and the original owner' ranking has been at the bottom. But after Rong Mi's indiscriminate killing of the Zergs just now, his ranking jumped up a lot. The competition system treats the ice butterfly as an ordinary low-level beast to calculate points, and Rong Mi entered the top 200 with these points.

"So killing Zerg is included in the points for killing alien beasts? The points for low-level bug races are so little?” Rong Yu was a little surprised, “It's worthy of being a glorious old era ah...... playing can be truly exciting. Could it be that there will be high-level ice butterflies appearing in a while?”

He muttered to himself while checking the rules of the match.

The way to earn points in the Ice and Fire competition is very simple.

Kill strange beasts and collect special plants. In addition, there is another way to get points quickly: grab other players' point cards.

Rong Mi clicked his tongue, not surprisingly, thinking that this was all a routine.

Rong Mi: Ice butterflies should be considered strange beasts.

He circled the location where he had just killed the ice butterfly on the map, thinking that he would go back to earn some scattered points when the snowstorm stopped.

While Rong Mi was thinking about the best strategy to gain points on the remaining day of the competition, he opened the resource panel to see how much of his mecha's energy reserves and nutrient solution reserves were left.

Rong Mi: "..."

He looked at a few single digits close to zero on the panel and fell silent.
