The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 399 - 174: Regional Cleanup, Nightmare Zone_3

"Mm."

The two of them completed the handover, and once everything was done, the staff member looked at Qin Jin, "Mr. Qin, according to base regulations, Martial Arts Family members who receive a top-level evaluation can be provided with a Manufactured Mecha by the base for their piloting."

"Some missions may require the use of a mecha, as physical combat may not be suitable."

"No need."

Qin Jin shook his head, "I have my own mecha."

Having become accustomed to piloting the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd, Qin Jin showed little interest in standard issue mechas.

Upon hearing this response, the staff member nodded, "There is a mecha maintenance workshop within the base. You may use it at any time during the mission."

"The base will also cover any wear and tear on the mecha during the mission."

With the staff seeing him off, Qin Jin left the premises.

On the streets, crowds were coming and going.

Planetary cleaning missions are not pre-scheduled. After evaluation, related tasks are released periodically.

Qin Jin turned back and headed towards the docking area.

In the Pioneer base, there are designated living quarters, but the conditions are fairly basic. Without missions, it’s preferable to stay aboard the Starship.

Retracing his steps, he arrived at the docking area.

The bustling scene remained the same, with people arriving and teams being recruited.

With a cursory glance, Qin Jin quickly withdrew his gaze, intending to return to the Starship.

Just then.

A broadcast resonated within the Pioneer base, repeating continuously.

[Regional Emergency Cleaning Mission Released]

[Individuals and teams rated Level 3 or above may participate]

As the broadcast sounded.

The personal terminal on Qin Jin’s wrist slightly vibrated, a message box popping up.

Recently, Qin Jin had already loaded the task program.

The message box contained little information.

[Regional Emergency Cleaning Mission]

[Required Level]: ≥ Level 3

[Mission Location]: [Map (click to open)]

[Mission Brief]: A region with remnants of the Star Sea Phenomenon has appeared within the planet. Please proceed to the nearest mission area to investigate and clear the phenomenon.

The mission was published.

As the mission was released, vehicles in the base started up, gathering people who wished to participate in the mission and preparing to head to the destination.

At the same time.

Some individuals chose to set off on their own.

"The Star Sea Phenomenon left remnants inside the planet, huh?"

Intrigued, Qin Jin glanced at the gathering vehicles in the distance, retracted his gaze, and softly whispered, "Candle Kite, assist with navigation."

"Okay."

Candle Kite’s response resounded, and a light screen manifested above the terminal, displaying a map along with continuous voice broadcasting.

At that moment, Qin Jin did not hesitate, Primordial Power surged, and he soared into the air.

He was already very skilled in flying, executing it with ease.

After surpassing the limits of life and becoming a Grandmaster, constructing an external circulation, the energy consumption for flying was minimal for him.

In Qin Jin’s assessment, as he continued to break through and enhance his life essence, flying might eventually become an inherent [ability], a true evolution of life.

The mission, being regionally assigned, wasn’t far from the base. Many others shared Qin Jin’s thought and ascended into the sky, traversing the light screen and vanishing into the distance.

On the ground.

The team with Qin Jiajia also received the mission.

Currently, they were preparing to embark together on a vehicle.

Just then, Qin Jiajia’s voice rang out, raising her hand to point at the sky, shouting, "Look over there."

The group turned their heads at the sound, noticing a familiar silhouette in the sky, recognizing a somewhat familiar outfit, Martial Arts Family members with keen eyesight also saw a somewhat familiar face.

"It’s that young man!"

Qin Jiajia’s tone wavered slightly, she turned back to others, "Who said my judgement is lacking? Walking through the air, that’s the act of a Grandmaster. This young man, like our Captain, is a Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

"Maybe even more."

A heavy voice rose beside her.

The Captain looked up, and in the brief exchange, Qin Jin’s figure had already disappeared. He said deeply, "A Five Shedding Grandmaster can fly, but only exceptional ones."

"This person is extraordinary."

"Indeed, it’s a pity."

The Captain shook his head, "If he were willing to join our team, our strength would increase dramatically."

"However, with such ability, it’s no wonder he doesn’t want to join us."

Saying this, he slightly turned his head to look beside him.

There, a shorter figure’s expression changed, remaining silent.

"Let’s not dwell on it, let’s move out."

...

Qin Jin’s figure raced through the air.

After leaving the defensive light barrier, swirling sand enveloped the sky but couldn’t approach Qin Jin himself, as Candle Kite’s navigational voice kept resonating.

In this endless sandstorm, most people would lose their way, but it certainly couldn’t hinder Candle Kite.

Initially, there were other figures alongside Qin Jin.

However, as he accelerated, all other figures fell behind, leaving only him amidst the silent wind and sand, as if he were alone.

His figure shot forward.

During his advance, at one point, Qin Jin’s gaze sharpened slightly.

Within the sheltering sandstorm, ahead, there was a brilliant display of varicolored radiance, shining through the sand and appearing quite mystical.

He increased his speed, advancing a few hundred meters further, as if breaching a barrier, the surrounding sandstorm froze entirely, contrasting with the previous tumult.

Qin Jin’s gaze landed ahead.

Within view was a spectacular array of colors, weaving a dreamlike scene, forming a zone.

Under Qin Jin’s watchful eye, these varicolored lights transformed into various shapes, at a glance, depicting scenes of Martial Artists earnestly practicing, resembling special places existing only in dreams, and even forming the shapes of mechas engaging in grand battles.
