In the last round of the playoffs, Jack demonstrated astonishing strength by defeating his opponents in a 3-on-1 battle, leaving everyone in shock. What caught even more attention was his revelation of the evil deeds of the Black Shadow Company in front of the entire audience, rapidly spreading his name across major media outlets. This mysterious and brave warrior with a secretive past became the headline news, with various news programs competing to report on his deeds.
However, this sudden attention made Jack feel uneasy. He was accustomed to living a low-profile life, and suddenly becoming the center of attention increased the pressure on him. He was often surrounded by reporters, bombarded with questions, and even recognized by fans on the street, who requested photos and autographs. All of this made him inevitably recall his past life, the one he had always been trying to escape.
Lucy noticed Jack's distress and walked over to him, gently patting his shoulder. "Jack, you look tired. Maybe you should consider taking a long break and relax a bit."
Jack nodded with a wry smile, "I think I really need some time to clear my head."
Lucy smiled, "Perhaps during this time, you can travel around and maybe find more clues about your past."
Jack gazed into the distance quietly, pondering Lucy's suggestion. She made sense. Maybe he should find a way to uncover the past he had always avoided. His past memories had always been like fragments, unable to form a complete story, leaving him filled with doubt.
Lucy continued, "And also, your mecha 'Roc Wings' seems to need some repairs. I can do some preliminary repair work while you're away, and then we can proceed with a new round of modifications when you return."
Jack looked at Lucy gratefully and said, "Thank you, Lucy. I really appreciate your help."
Lucy smiled, "Don't mention it, we are teammates after all."
So, Jack began to pack his bags, preparing to head to Beta City. Lucy told him that Beta City is a place full of delicious food and attractions, where he can relax. Jack nodded, feeling very pleased with this suggestion.
A few days later, Jack rode his hoverbike and set out on a journey to Beta City. Along the way, he felt the cool breeze on his face, and his mood gradually lightened. He looked forward to this trip, hoping to find some clues about his past and to take a break to adjust his mindset.
In the streets of Beta City, towering skyscrapers and bustling scenes left Jack amazed. He casually strolled along the wide sidewalks, surrounded by various types of hover vehicles. The city's blend of high technology and human culture created astonishing harmony. This was a glimpse of the future, where the pulse and soul of the city exuded vitality in every corner.
Suddenly, a small alley caught his eye, as if it were a secret garden in the city. He walked into the alley and discovered a snack stand called "Time and Space Gourmet," with a menu full of creative dishes. Jack chose a "Feast of Time," and the waiter in the cooking area professionally reorganized the ingredients on a molecular level, creating amazing visual effects and a wonderful taste experience.
Sitting at a small table, Jack immersed himself in the aroma and texture of the food, as if he had forgotten that he was in the midst of a busy city. Suddenly, a figure quickly passed by, disappearing around the corner. Jack's alertness made him look up, and he immediately stood up, following the mysterious figure to a secluded corner.
In the shadows, a man with a strange expression stood there, his gaze constantly wandering, apparently a bit reckless, even a bit nervous. His attire seemed ordinary, but revealed a hint of peculiarity.
"Don't follow me anymore, stop following me! I know you're stalking me!" The man suddenly turned around, shouting anxiously.
Jack was taken aback, unable to understand why the man suddenly started yelling at him. He stopped in his tracks and looked at the man in confusion, saying, "What are you talking about? I wasn't following you at all."
The man seemed flustered, pointing at Jack with trembling hands, "You...don't deny it anymore, I know you've been following me!"
Jack just couldn't understand. He had simply followed the man by chance, without any hostility or intention. However, the man's nervous reaction made him feel amused and sympathetic.
"Alright, alright, I won't follow you anymore," Jack waved his hand gently, intending to leave the awkward situation.
However, the man suddenly became anxious and hastily grabbed Jack's sleeve, "Wait, don't leave, I... I have something to tell you."
Jack paused for a moment, looking at the anxious man. He could sense the other person's nervousness and sincerity. Perhaps this strange encounter had some unusual underlying reason.
"Okay, what do you have to tell me?" Jack asked calmly.
The man's expression softened slightly, and he coughed before speaking incoherently, "I... I can tell from your performance and... and your mecha that you are a skilled pilot. I... I need help, and I need a safe place."
Jack raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling even more confused. This nervous man seemed to have some special needs, and his words seemed somewhat disjointed.
"Do you need help? A safe place?" Jack asked, "Can you be more specific, maybe I can help you."
The man took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "I... I am a researcher, specializing in mecha technology. Recently, I... I accidentally obtained some important information related to the Black Shadow Company and their conspiracy. I... I believe they have noticed me, and I need to evade their pursuit and find allies to expose the truth together."
After hearing this, Jack couldn't help but be shaken. The conspiracy of the Black Shadow Company? He couldn't help but think that perhaps this strange encounter was some kind of fate. "The information you're talking about is very important, but how can I trust you?" Jack asked, "How do you know that I will help you instead of handing you over to the Black Shadow Company?"
The man looked at Jack nervously, his eyes filled with fear and hope. "I... I have seen your matches and I know you are a just person. Your performance makes me believe that you might be the only one who can help me. If you trust me, I am willing to provide you with more evidence."
"Alright, I am willing to help you," Jack said. He knew this was a risky adventure, but his inner desire for truth and justice drove him forward. "If you're willing, join my 'Grand competition' team! We already have an excellent engineer, but the pressure on her is too much. If you join us, we can work together and stay highly alert to find clues about Black Shadow Company."
In the man's eyes flashed surprise and gratitude. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Jack. I am very willing to join your team." He reached out his hand and introduced himself, "My name is Li Ang, and I am a mecha technology researcher."
Jack and Li Ang exchanged a sincere look, as if at this moment, their destinies were closely linked together.
