The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Even…

Within the mission, there’s a task related to collaborating with the mecha manufacturing team to complete the mecha testing.

This task involves quite a few combat trials, after all… a truly reliable combat mecha must go through the tempering of blood and fire.

After browsing for a while.

Qin Jin’s gaze stopped on one particular mission.

Sweeping his eyes across it, Qin Jin spoke: “This is the one.”

“Alright.”

Candle Kite floated to the front of the light screen, performing several operations.

[Task target submission in progress…]

[Task personnel confirmed]

“Qin Jin, it’s all set.”

“We can depart at any time, do you need to return to your residence to prepare?”

“No need.”

Qin Jin shook his head.

With the Personal Base now in place, the items he needed to carry were all stored within it and could be accessed anytime.

Accompanied by Candle Kite, Qin Jin took a vehicle to the academy’s docking area.

During the mission period, the academy’s docking area was quite empty.

Under Candle Kite’s guidance, Qin Jin arrived in front of a small starship.

The starship had a streamlined exterior with a black and blue color scheme, looking rather deep; on both sides of the hull, there were no martial abyss symbols.

Regarding this point, Qin Jin was well aware.

In some missions, the identity of Wuyuan students must also remain undisclosed, hence this starship bore no obvious markings.

Standing beside the hull, Qin Jin extracted an identity card.

In that instant.

Information flashed across the small screen at the top of the identity card’s front.

[Identity information verification in progress]

[Verification complete]

[Cadet Qin Jin, wish you smooth sailing in your interstellar journey]

Information flashed past.

The hatch opened.

Qin Jin boarded the starship, accompanied by Candle Kite, taking a brief tour.

Small as it was, the starship from Martial Abyss was no ordinary vessel; its interior was neatly divided into cultivation zones, living spaces, and piloting areas, all well-organized, with plenty of provisions supplied.

In the foremost cockpit, various instruments were in simplified mode; if the pilot needed, they could also switch modes for manual control.

At the top of the cockpit was a star map, containing publicly accessible Federation star domain information, scalable for route updates.

Qin Jin entered the starship cockpit for the first time.

Beside him, Candle Kite’s introduction echoed: “This starship was produced by the starship manufacturing factory under our Martial Abyss.”

“Because it’s not a combat starship, its armament configuration is relatively weak, but its defense capabilities and other performances are quite excellent.”

“Its original factory name was [Xingzhou]. You can change it if you’re not satisfied.”

“Let’s stick with this one.”

Not confident in his naming skills, Qin Jin glanced at Candle Kite, eager and expectant, with a slight smile: “Candle Kite, the piloting work is entrusted to you.”

The starship itself boasts automatic piloting functionalities.

Yet…

The top-tier artificial intelligence from Martial Abyss is undeniably more trustworthy.

“Got it!”

Candle Kite eagerly connected through a personal terminal to the starship’s built-in computer, taking over the helm.

The next instant.

The starship powered up.

“Captain Qin Jin.”

“Pilot Candle Kite, reporting to you.”

Her voice resonated through the starship’s broadcast system, full of delight.

“It seems that the Candle Kite doppelganger responsible for interacting with me really loves piloting starships.”

With such a thought flashing across Qin Jin’s mind, his tone grew more earnest: “Set off!”

Roaring sounds reverberated outside the starship.

Energy surged, and the starship began ascending rapidly.

Standing within the cockpit, Qin Jin gazed out at the scene beyond.

Though it wasn’t his first time on a starship, it was truly his first solo Star Sea voyage, accompanied solely by Candle Kite, which inevitably felt novel.

“After truly reaching the High Realm of Martial Arts, solo traversing the Star Sea becomes a commonplace matter.”

“Still need to strive for further improvement.”

With Candle Kite at the helm, Qin Jin felt confident, sitting in the cockpit, raising his wrist, extracting his mission information from the personal terminal.

[Mission Source]: Federation designated release

[Mission Location]: Unnamed planet in the eastern star domain of the Weiyang Star System

[Mission Objective]: Clear special conditions and biological threats within the planet

[Mission Overview]: After the clearance of giant class Star Sea Phenomenon within the Star Sea Phenomenon, the Federation discovered a special Life Planet. You are to proceed to the designated location for the next task.

Planetary clearance task.

Within the Federation, this was not an unprecedented occurrence; some Life Planets have habitable environments but may contain special conditions unsuitable for migration.

Early in the Federation’s expansion, established Federation legions undertook the opening, naturally accompanied by adventurous individuals and organizations exploring the vast Star Sea. Often cooperating and forming an unwritten tradition, in smaller events, the Federation would issue missions, inviting greater participation.

Through Candle Kite, Qin Jin learned that this type of mission was combat-intensive. Moreover… the Star Sea Phenomenon left a profound impression on him within the Martial Saint Stele, leading him to choose upon seeing related task information.

Qin Jin meticulously reviewed the mission-related information while calling Candle Kite to assist in searching more detailed information regarding the task location.

In the office.

Martial Abyss’s vice principal, Fang Hanmei, was reviewing the documents on the light screen.
