Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In the female dormitory district of the logistician camp, female JMCs were dolling themselves up carefully as they were going to welcome an ace mecha clan in the welcoming dinner. This mecha clan was just a normal ace mecha clan but there were still some ace mecha masters inside it. Even if these ace mecha masters just newly advanced, they should be at least at the rank of senior captain. These ladies felt their hearts fluttering when they thought about this. All of them hoped to find a powerful officer as their boyfriends or maybe potential future husbands.

However, only one lady appeared out of place. She wore a military uniform and didn’t put on any makeup. She had an unhappy expression on her face as she was upset about the behavior of her friends.

“Lady Mei, stop putting on your stern face. Even if you don’t like those ace operators, we need them.” One of the female soldiers purposely wore a smaller sized military uniform which displayed her curves more prominently. She seemed determined to find a good boyfriend this time.

“She already has Major Zhou. Of course, she wouldn’t care about the new ace mecha masters.” Another female soldier covered her mouth and smiled with her eyes, but there was envy in her eyes. Major Zhou had been chasing Lady Mei for the past few days. They were touched by all the things he did for her but Lady Mei’s heart was rock solid. She was not moved at all.

“What do you mean by mine? If you want him, you can take him.” Lady Mei frowned. She had no feelings towards Major Zhou at all. His identity and his oppressive behaviors caused her to remember her mother’s sufferings.

Lady Mei’s name was Mei Gu (‘Gu’ here means lonely). The female soldiers felt that her name was not so nice to call her so they called her Lady Mei. Lady Mei liked to take care of them like an elder so this nickname suited her quite well.

Lady Mei was an illegitimate child. She didn’t know who her father was. Her mother also didn’t want to tell her who he was. However, after years of probing, she found out when her mother was a JMC, she got played by a high-ranking officer. The high-ranking officer abandoned her after a while and even threw her out of the military so that he could cover up what he did, destroying her mother’s life. Lady Mei couldn’t even imagine what her mother felt when she gave birth to her.

“If Major Zhou likes me and gives me what I want, I will willingly let myself fall in love with him. I don’t understand what you are thinking. He is such a sincere and loving man,” The female soldier said with a tone filled with jealousy. She felt she was good-looking too. Why did Major Zhou fell for Lady Mei and not her?

“I will not rely on a man for my needs,” Lady Mei replied with a dark expression.

“What is wrong with relying on a man?” The female soldier stood up instantly. The two of them were about to start a fight, but the other female soldiers pulled them apart.

Lady Mei looked at the bunch of innocent ladies and sighed. She said coldly, “With the exception of talented monsters, all ace mecha masters are at least 30 years old and above. Most of them will have families already at that age. 250 Mecha Clan is just a normal ace mecha clan, so there will probably not be any talented people in it. It will be difficult for you all want to find someone you like.”

“There will definitely be fish that escaped the net.” The female soldier who was dressed sexily smiled. They could accept older men as long as they were not married. The average lifespan in the Federation was 150 years old so a 20 years old age gap meant nothing.

“That’s right. Even if those talented and powerful people come to our base, we won’t have any chance too.” Another female soldier said, “Only a goddess like Li Yinfei will be able to…”

“It is not impossible too. General Ling Xiao’s wife was a JMC, right?” One female soldier didn’t agree with her friend. She started to appear as if she was dreaming and said, “I believe that my Ling Xiao will come and look for me.”

“Stop dreaming!” The other female soldier laughed. They were all excited and anticipating this welcoming dinner while Lady Mei sat dejectedly at the corner. She didn’t want to talk to these stupid ladies whose mind was filled with blind love.

Lan Luofeng was a lucky person. However, how many Lan Luofengs was there in the military? Most ladies were tricked and played by the officers. Her mother was one of them.

“Fine, fine, Lady Mei, don’t be angry!” A beautiful female soldier saw the sadness in Lady Mei’s face and rushed over. She hugged Lady Mei’s shoulder and patted her. “I know that you are afraid that we will be fooled by the men. You want to climb up using your own abilities. However, we just don’t have that kind of ambition. We just want to marry a good husband and have a child with him.”

“But…” Lady Mei looked at the excited ladies. She was worried. There were so many cases of female JMCs getting tricked. Why couldn’t they wake up?

“Don’t worry. We will keep our eyes sharp.” The beautiful female soldier knew what Lady Mei was worried about. But, they still thought that they were able to meet the man of their dreams.

Lady Mei knew that her persuasions were useless now, so she sighed and let them do what they wanted.

Soon, the female soldier finished dressing themselves up. They went to the canteen together, which looked entirely different. It had been cleaned up and the tables had been rearranged. Each mecha clan was assigned to a table or an area. The JMC female soldiers were the attendants for this welcoming dinner. They would serve the officers their foods and drinks.

Many officers were already seated at the cafeteria. They were either resting in their seats or chatting with the person beside them. When the JMCs walked in, their eyes lit up. Although they might not have any untoward thoughts about these women, it was still only natural for them to admire beautiful ladies.

A bunch of young junior officers around 30 years old were sitting at a table near the stage saw the female soldiers entering, and instantly got excited.

“Brother Zhou, the woman you like came too,” a fair young man said to the handsome man he was sitting next to. He was the person that had been chasing Lady Mei. His name was Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen turned and saw Lady Mei’s cold face. He was elated. The moment he entered this base, he was entranced by this cold and arrogant lady. However, no matter what he did, she didn’t fall for him. This just perked his desire to conquer her even more. Until now, he didn’t know if he really liked her or he just wanted to satisfy his desires.

He stood up immediately and walked towards the JMCs. The people around him followed behind him.

“Lady Mei, long time no see!” Zhou Chen shouted with a bright smile.

The female soldiers beside Lady Mei pushed her forward, so Lady Mei had no choice but to reply, “Major Zhou, we just met yesterday.”
