Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Don't Hesitate, Just Kiss Me
According to common knowledge, the influence of a Swarm Disaster is roughly divided into three areas.
From outside to inside, they are the outer zone, the heavy disaster zone, and the core zone.
As the Cosmic Superman advanced rapidly, Chu Ze and Robin soon entered the territory of the outer zone.
Swarms of small bugs had already appeared in the void, and occasionally, a small true Swarm would lead a rampage.
Scattered wreckage of destroyed starships could also be seen along the way, indicating that the people inside had been devoured clean by the bugs.
But of course, Chu Ze was not worried at all.
The bugs in the outer zone alone were not worth his effort. Killing bugs of this level was not satisfying at all.
So he directly handed over the starship to Xiao Yi's control.
Lasers shot out, machine guns roared.
With the orderly activation of various ship-borne weapons, all the small bugs that approached the starship were blasted into smithereens, and their advance was not hindered in the slightest.
And in the main control room...
"Ms. Little Bird, come watch an exciting show with me!"
Chu Ze raised his wine glass slightly: "Let the music play, let the dancing continue!"
With the beat of the strong music, the puppets danced with their limbs, their bodies swaying back and forth, performing the latest popular dance on the internet.
A few other puppets surrounded Chu Ze, some responsible for feeding him fruit, others for massaging his muscles.
Even if Chu Ze so much as pouted, a puppet would extend a tissue to help him wipe his mouth.
Robin was completely stunned.
Is this guy really here to defeat the Swarm King?
Even the supreme VIP service of those famous tour groups isn't this thorough!
"What's wrong, Ms. Little Bird? Do you not like the show?"
Seeing Robin in a daze, Chu Ze took the initiative to take out a dumbbell. On the surface of the dumbbell was a long string of terrifying gravity numbers:
"If you're interested, you can also train your muscles with me, you know?"
Robin waved her hands repeatedly:
"That's not necessary. I'm just a little unused to this sense of contrast..."
It was a difficult mission to defeat the Swarm King and save the star system.
How did Chu Ze turn it into a country bumpkin's outing, with such a relaxed atmosphere?
Chu Ze moved his arms up and down, training with the dumbbell as he spoke:
"So what? Isn't it good for life to be a little easier?"
"My old mom once said: Don't worry about a vague future, just be happy for the clear present."
"That is to say... uh... mhm..."
As he spoke, he himself started to falter, forgetting the rest.
Robin was stunned as she watched.
Can you really be lecturing someone and forget your own words?
But soon Chu Ze reacted and forcefully saved himself:
"A day of laughter is a day, a day of tears is also a day."
"Instead of facing the future with a frown, it's better to learn to adjust your own mentality."
"This attitude towards life is very comfortable for a thick-skinned person like me."
Listening to Chu Ze's words, although they weren't the well-phrased profound truths like her brother's, this colloquial expression made Robin feel even more moved:
"Your mentality is truly open-minded."
"I think this should also be considered a kind of strength."
Perhaps influenced by Chu Ze's easygoing attitude, or perhaps because she was less restrained in front of a stranger, looking at the increasing number of bug corpses outside the starship and the warm and harmonious comfortable scene inside, after a slight hesitation, Robin took the initiative to speak of the troubles in her heart:
"Actually, I am a moderately famous singer. I happened to be holding a solo concert in this star system."
"I originally thought that my singing could heal everyone and bring them new hope."
"But in the face of the massive Swarm Disaster, my singing had no effect at all. On the contrary, because I held a concert, many fans made a special trip here, only to become victims of the disaster."
Robin sighed softly:
"Perhaps influenced by these things, I've begun to doubt my own singing, and thus I can't be as confident and open-minded as you..."
Looking at the girl's sighing appearance, Chu Ze moved his arms and expressed his thoughts:
"In my opinion, this is just pure mental self-consumption."
"A singer's duty is to sing well. You can't expect a singer to swing a microphone and go fight a true Swarm."
With that, he pointed to his own face:
"How about this, I'll teach you a good way to solve this self-consumption. Come, give me a kiss."
Robin was suddenly a little dazed:
"...Why should I kiss you?"
"Because after kissing, you'll be shy and won't have the mind to continue consuming yourself."
"I'll be shy even if I don't kiss you! In fact, why can you make such an outrageous request so nonchalantly!"
Robin complained a little loudly.
Lured by Chu Ze's powerful ability to be roasted, she finally let go of her reserved side and showed a little of the nature a girl of her age should have.
"And to be honest, your singing does have an indescribable power, like an auxiliary character in an RPG game."
Chu Ze lifted the dumbbell in his hand:
"Originally, with this weight of dumbbell, I would be slightly out of breath after a thousand flat pushes."
"But this time, listening to your voice, I've done twelve hundred and I'm not tired at all."
"Everyone has weaknesses, but everyone also has strengths. What we need to do is use our strengths to plug our weaknesses and make up for them, so that we can live a life without regrets."
Robin was thoughtful:
"Once I accept my own weakness, I am... invincible?"
"Perfect!"
Chu Ze put down the dumbbell and threw his transformation device over:
"Come on, since the atmosphere is already here, let me give you a taste of the mecha's power."
"...Eh? A mecha?"
"Right, there's a button on your hand. Just press it."
Subconsciously listening to Chu Ze's words, Robin pressed her finger, and the entire transformation device burst into a dazzling light.
A cool black and gold mecha emerged from the periphery of her body. In the blink of an eye, the young woman became a mighty and domineering Light Chaser mecha test pilot.
[Warning! Multiple identity verification failed, mecha automatically beginning to detach!]
[Three consecutive verification failures will lock the transformation device. Forcible cracking will result in a counterattack from the mecha!]
The power did not last long.
Just a few seconds later, the mecha automatically detached from Robin's body.
But even in those few seconds, she had truly experienced a different kind of power, completely different from her singing.
Unlike the all-encompassing Harmony, this power represented violence, represented destruction.
This was a power that allowed people to fight head-on, a power that allowed people to experience the thrill of fist-to-flesh combat.
But this kind of power was not suitable for her, nor was it what she wanted.
"...I think I understand what you mean now."
Returning the transformation device to Chu Ze, a faint smile appeared on Robin's face:
"Singing is the most suitable, and also the most proficient weapon for me."
"If even I don't believe in myself, then of course my voice won't have any effect."
Chu Ze repeatedly expressed his approval.
In fact, he didn't even know what he was trying to express.
But since Robin had figured out the principle herself, he just went along with it and expressed his agreement.
"Thank you, Chu Ze."
Robin said sincerely: "After chatting with you and confiding my troubles, I feel much better."
Chu Ze shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing. I just have a small request."
"What request?"
"Can I take a photo with you and get your autograph, Miss Robin?"
"Of course, no problem."
Robin smiled and took out her phone.
But suddenly, she reacted, and the small wings on the sides of her head trembled slightly.
"Eh? What... what did you just say?"
"Robin? Who-who's Robin? I have no idea what you're talking about..."
