I'm a Mecha Engineer Just for Fun

[Find me on Weibo: Fuguangque] They say the Third Military Academy managed to rise again thanks entirely to the extraordinary students in this graduating class. Li Xu, the league's top solo fighter. Zhuo Ling, the crossbow gunner with an explosive flair for art. Xie Zhiwei, an archer with incredible close-combat skills. And the mysterious Student A! At last, one day, a reporter cornered the mysterious Student A outside the arena, eager to reveal her true identity to the audience. "Everyone has seen this student's outstanding performance in the arena." "She can use a recurve bow, wield a pair of long blades, and operate a mortar! Her profession is..." "...Uh, a logistics mech technician?" The reporter stared in disbelief. "Why would someone with such incredible abilities be content to work as a lowly logistics technician???" Mai Sui pondered for a long time, then answered with a solemn expression. "Because it's my passion." Mai Sui has severe face blindness. She can tell every mech apart, but she can't recognize a single human face. Except Li Xu's. The first time she remembered him was at the league. The young man slaughtered the insect beasts, savage and arrogant, his fierce edge untamed. The second time she remembered him was inside the mech cockpit. The young man gripped the back of her neck and laughed with a muffled groan. "Take a good look. What does the person you've marked look like now?" Petite, sweet, and soft, an adorable Alpha girl x a hard-hitting warrior Omega man [Please do not mention other works in the comments. Please do not mention other works in the comments. Please do not mention other works in the comments.] A gender-bender story. Female Alpha, male Omega. A strong partnership in the career storyline; in the romance, the male lead is the dominant one and the female lead is the submissive one. In this story's setting, secondary gender differentiation means adulthood. There are many other original worldbuilding details, too. This is my take on a cyberpunk world. This is not a story about an overpowered heroine or a female lead who dominates everything. The author is simply indulging a personal kink, so please read the tags carefully instead of judging the story for tags it doesn't have. Thank you. A passionate, level-up story. Leveling up. The progression picks up in the middle and later parts. The heroine doesn't start out invincible, and her main roles are "command and logistics." If you don't enjoy ensemble casts where everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, or can't accept that the heroine is the smartest but not especially muscular, this story may not be for you. There are some family-life scenes, totaling fewer than four chapters. They are included for my sake and for people like me, in the hope of helping us move beyond the shadows of our families of origin. I hope you'll be considerate of those who relate to this. Please don't argue. Comments that ignore this content warning and come in to lecture me about writing will be deleted to prevent arguments. Please read the warnings before starting. Don't put any labels on the author. This is an ABO story centered on women. The male lead is an Omega, but please don't gender-swap him. There is no two-women-fighting-over-one-man plot, so please don't see some female characters at odds and criticize it as women competing for a man. If you can't accept women opposing one another for the sake of their country and their work, this story isn't for you. The story contains game easter eggs. I'll send a red envelope to anyone who finds one! There are more content warnings in the author's note to Chapter 1. Please read them before starting. A recommendation for my upcoming story. "Dancing on the Edge of a Yandere's Obsession" Blurb: Ming Que is bound to the [Anti-Player System] and transmigrates into a scheming female side character in a cultivation novel where readers can choose their romantic interest. Not only does she bully the heroine and covet the male lead, she's also a sickly girl who has to rely on her cheap brother's blood from his heart every month to stay alive. The day she transmigrates is the day she's supposed to take blood from her brother, Ming Xiao. Amid thunder and lightning, the young man stands in white stained with blood. In the novel, he's a sacred, fragile lotus flower, but the look he gives her is sharper than a blade and more sinister than a demon's. System: [Host, please choose a male character to pursue.] Seeing the blood-red "Affection: -100" above Ming Xiao's head, Ming Que decisively chooses the most approachable male lead as her target. * Later. Just as Ming Que finally raises the male lead's affection to 50, the System suddenly sounds an alarm: [Warning: Character "Ming Xiao" has surpassed your target's affection level. Host, please bring it down as soon as possible or the mission will fail.] Ming Que: ??? What did I even do? Ming Que: Can't I raise two people's affection levels at once? System: No. We're the Anti-Player System. Ming Que: ... Ming Que: How about this? My brother hates betrayal more than anything. I'll make sure he keeps trusting me for now, then betray him during the next life-or-death plot point. His affection level is sure to drop back into the negatives. * Later still. Ming Xiao goes mad. He locks her in a dark room. The sacred, untouchable lotus flower reveals the back of his neck, the tear mole beneath his eye captivating her. "Go ahead and bully me, humiliate me, do whatever you like. Ruin me completely." "But you'll never leave me in this lifetime." Theme: There are 360 trades, and every trade has its champion.
