Pacific Rim Godzilla Beats Up Monsters

"But in front of Xiao Yun, you must be strong, Luo Jun. You are already Xiao Yun's last pillar of support."

Back in those days, the young girl dressed in white had said this with a serious expression to the pale, helpless boy on the sickbed, whose eyes were out of focus.

Luo Bing still remembered last month, when Koizumi Junko came to the base for an exchange and announced to him that she was a Sakura Saber Pilot, the sweet look on her face, her smile carrying a hint of confidence.

If Junko had been as radiant as the sun back then, she was now as gloomy as a storm cloud.

Walking all alone behind the Lin Sisters and the Li Family Siblings, her solitary figure appeared desolate and lonely.

"Junko!"

Luo Bing called out to her from afar.

He bypassed the others, even getting ahead of Old Luo, and shouted toward Junko.

After she looked up, he waved his hand, trying his best to put on a bright smile, hoping it would reach her.

Koizumi Junko watched this scene, her expression changing involuntarily.

She wanted to say something, but then lowered her head again:

"Trying so hard to force a smile is still too difficult for you, Luo Jun."

Since that year, Junko had not seen Luo Bing smile.

Junko could tell that the smile just now had been deliberately put on.

However, she didn't find it silly at all; she only felt a warmth in her heart, something very comforting.

Lin Wange glanced back, and upon seeing this scene, her first reaction was to tug on her younger sister's clothes, flashing a mischievous grin:

"Little sister, you're in danger."

As someone who had maintained a deep memory connection with her younger sister for years, Lin Wange was still able to perceive the subtle thoughts hidden deep within her sister's heart.

No matter how calm and cold she appeared on the surface, there would always be some fluctuations deep inside.

If there were no reaction at all, how would she be any different from a robot?

Hearing her older sister's playful voice, Lin Changge looked up, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face.

Seeing this, Lin Wange shook her head and said nothing.

Her sister's personality was just like that; she was used to it.

Off to the side, the two pilots who had just climbed down from the Blue Blood Blade, Li Chuyi and Li Shiwu, exchanged a glance, looking at each other in bewilderment.

They had come to see Old Luo.

As for Luo Bing, they might have heard the name, but this was their first time meeting him in person.

The two didn't say a word; they quickened their pace to reach Old Luo and offered a military salute.

"General Luo, Commander Lan instructed us that upon arriving at the Sakura Island Sub-base, we are to follow your arrangements in everything!"

"You are the pilot of the first-generation mecha, Thousand Jun Bedrock, and have experienced countless battles. We are at ease with you in command!"

Li Chuyi started off by showering Old Luo with praise, but this was just a light drizzle to Old Luo; it didn't stir his emotions in the slightest.

However, the customary pleasantries were unavoidable.

"Chuyi, and Shiwu, General Li's two children have grown up so much. Seeing you young people grow up gives us old folks peace of mind..."

While they were talking, Luo Bing had already arrived in front of Koizumi Junko. Looking at her dejected expression, he asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong? Scared to tears by a monster in your first battle?"

Junko shook her head vigorously.

"No, I wasn't scared to tears by the monster!"

"It's just... it's just that I still let you down, Luo Jun."

Junko's expression was filled with disappointment.

"Because of my cowardice, I almost harmed countless people... I also let everyone down. Even though I acted so proud after becoming a pilot, looking back on it now, I just want to find a hole to crawl into!"

Luo Bing comforted her.

"It's alright, everything is fine now. From now on, just stay by my side."

"As for your co-pilot, he's going to get what's coming to him! But the Sakura Saber still needs a pilot, so I stepped in on short notice. From now on, you'll be my co-pilot, and we'll work hard together!"

Junko was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"I'm happy to be able to fight side-by-side with Luo Jun!"

Nearby, Old Luo waved his hand, signaling the two who were whispering to come over.

After Luo Bing and Junko walked over, Old Luo introduced them with a smile on his face.

"These two are Luo Bing and Koizumi Junko. From now on, they will be the pilot and co-pilot of the Sakura Saber."

"Wange and Changge will pilot the Wulei, Chuyi and Shiwu will pilot the Blue Blood Blade, and Little Bing and Junko will pilot the Sakura Saber!"

"With brave and intelligent young people like you, combined with the logistical support we provide here at the base, if we all work hard and fight side by side, we can definitely hold the Sakurajima Defense Line!"

Old Luo cheered everyone on.

"Although the coastline Sakurajima is exposed to is quite vast, I believe that as long as we work together, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome!"

Li Chuyi was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

After Old Luo finished speaking, he looked at Luo Bing in astonishment:

"You are Luo Bing?"

Luo Bing raised an eyebrow:

"It's me. Brother Chuyi, this should be our first time meeting today, why do you look so surprised?"

Li Chuyi scratched his head:

"It is indeed our first time meeting, but your name, Luo Bing, is like thunder to the ears among our batches of trainees."

"You are the first person in the last five years to reach a Spiritual Connection Index of 99!"

Li Chuyi's reminder naturally brought the memory back to the forefront of Luo Bing's mind.

Oh, so I'm a genius.

My hands are shaking uncontrollably right now, but I'm determined to keep up the three-chapter daily update without slacking off.

I beg you, dear readers, please give me some votes and some positive feedback.

020. The Vanishing Monster Carcass

Under the premise that a Spiritual Connection Index of 100 is impossible to achieve.

A Spiritual Connection Index of 99 is essentially the current limit for humanity.

A pilot with this aptitude, provided they pass their training and have some talent for combat, can unleash the majority of a Mecha's power!

Of course, there are also geniuses who have high aptitude but lack combat ability, losing every fight they get into.

Geniuses with this kind of negative status are eventually recommended to the Analysis Department or the Staff Department.

Unless they are at their wit's end and have no one else to use, desk jobs are better suited for them; it's best to leave the fighting and killing to the combat-oriented personnel.

Koizumi Junko is a typical negative example.

Sakurajima truly had no qualified pilots left, so they had no choice but to let Koizumi Junko serve as the primary pilot.

Even though the latter's personality was actually better suited for the role of a co-pilot.

But there was no helping it; this was a classic case of being forced into a role before one was ready.

As for Luo Bing, he was a genuine genius, a top-tier pilot with a Spiritual Connection Index of 99.

If it weren't for his youth, combined with the fact that his emotional fluctuations had been quite severe over the past few years due to the passing of his relatives—making him a high-risk, unstable factor.

This had caused some base commanders to have reservations, which was why Luo Bing's previous position had been as a substitute pilot for Wulei.

Had he performed consistently and kept his emotions from becoming extreme, he could have become a full-fledged pilot a year ago.

After Luo Bing transmigrated, he had constantly sighed in his heart that Luo Yun harbored such deep hatred at such a young age.

But clearly, before he transmigrated, the previous owner of this body had held the same attitude toward life.

Luo Yun had certainly been influenced, at least in part, by the original Luo Bing.

"Qualifications and such are in the past; from now on, we let our combat records do the talking."

Luo Bing extended his right hand to bump fists with Li Chuyi, saying with a smile:

"Here's to us winning every battle from here on out, and here's to seeing fewer and fewer monsters!"

Li Chuyi's words unlocked some memories that had been sealed deep within Luo Bing's mind.

This led Luo Bing to realize that the original owner of his body was someone who hid things very deeply; if he didn't carefully comb through those memories again, he was afraid there would still be oversights.

There was no helping that, either.

No one could read through another person's twenty-year life history in just a few days.

Not even a transmigrator with a cheat code... perhaps in isolated cases, one could accomplish everything while in a state of extreme rage.

One could only say that Luo Bing had embarrassed the vast community of transmigrators once again.

Li Chuyi nodded slightly, his response to Luo Bing's pleasantries stopping there.

Although he was somewhat surprised, his gaze was filled more with a thirst for victory and a fighting spirit.

The young man had a heart full of hot blood, and there was still a spirit of defiance within him.

Beside Li Chuyi was his youngest sister, Li Shiwu. Her name was a bit strange, but that didn't stop Li Shiwu from being a very down-to-earth little beauty.

Describing her as down-to-earth was because Luo Bing could tell she wasn't wearing a shred of makeup, yet her natural beauty shone through as she stood there. Paired with her ponytail, she stood quietly with a hint of an intellectual aura about her.

It was a stark contrast to the personality of someone like Lin Wange, who looked lively and playful at first glance.

At this moment, after hearing her brother's surprise regarding Luo Bing, her eyes also revealed a hint of curiosity, though she did not speak.

She simply acted as a quiet observer.

Lin Changge also remained silent, acting as an observer, but the impression she gave off was one of cold indifference.

Li Shiwu was different; she seemed to have the kind of personality that would just stand by your side and listen to you quietly.

Li Chuyi seemed to have other tasks to attend to. After offering an apologetic smile to Luo Bing, he took a stack of sealed documents from his coat.

He handed the documents to Old Luo and said in a deep voice:

"Before Commander Lan sent us siblings here, he had to argue with others at headquarters for quite some time before the decision to reinforce Sakurajima was made."

"In the end, when Commander Lan sent us off, he took out these documents and told me to hand them to General Luo."

"Commander Lan said that once you finish reading these top-secret documents, you will understand his intentions."

Old Luo's expression turned solemn, and he immediately took the documents.

Luo Bing stood to the side and took a glance as well.

Apart from seeing the two large characters for "Top Secret" on the outside of the sealed envelope, there was nothing else.

Old Luo did not open them immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and said:

"This mission happened to miss mealtime."

"I've arranged for the kitchen to prepare a special meal; let's treat it as a celebration."

"Although we didn't put in any effort today, the fact that two monsters were killed is real, and that's worth celebrating."

Good grief, you're using Godzilla's achievement to host a dinner party!
