Basic Mecha Are the Best!

Sword cultivator Qin Xiao transmigrates into the body of a useless girl in a futuristic world on the very day she inherits her sect. The original owner, whose mental power was rated at zero, had been abandoned by her family on a wasteland planet.

When Qin Xiao arrives, she hears someone mock her, saying she'll never be able to pilot a mech in her life and will have to make a living scavenging trash, poor until the day she dies.

Grieving over the vast fortune that has just slipped through her fingers, Qin Xiao flies into a rage and leaps into a mech. Her terrifying mental power surges through it. She swings its iron fist and smashes the other person's mech, along with three of their front teeth.

"You dare curse me to a life of poverty? This is what happens."

Everyone nearby: "!!!"

Her defeated opponent: "I... I messed up QAQ"

The competition for a place at the Imperial Star's First Military Academy begins, and when Qin Xiao and her mech make their entrance, a tidal wave of jeers breaks out.

"I'm dying laughing. This piece of junk is a mech?"

"It looks so rickety, I bet I could poke it apart with one finger."

"Qin Xiao, want us to crowdfund a Class C mech for you? Hahahahaha!"

The match begins.

Qin Xiao takes on four opponents at once and crushes them, easily smashing their mechs and knocking them flat on their backs.

"Basic mechs are the GOAT!"

Her opponents: "That came out of nowhere."

The spectators:

"Holy crap!!! She's cheating, she has to be cheating! Referee!"

"You've got to be kidding me. A junk mech beat Class A mechs?!"

"Great one, please accept my humble bow!"

Blurb: Xue Cha, a professional NPC whose role in games is healer, transmigrates into a futuristic world on the day her game shuts down.

The insectoid race invades, and everyone joins the resistance, with soldiers forming the main fighting force.

People take pride in becoming mental-power warriors and refuse to become healers, who are weak and have only limited healing abilities.

Xue Cha is judged incapable of ever becoming a warrior and abandoned by her family. She faces expulsion from school and the prospect of becoming homeless.

Xue Cha says: "No panic. Let's change classes and become a healer first."

At the military academy league, the Seventh Military Academy fields a healer, a class nobody has chosen for ten years.

Their opponents: "Did you run out of people?"

Netizens: "What even is this? Someone still chooses the healing class these days? Is she here to be part of the cheer squad?"

During the match, the opposing team focuses their attacks on Xue Cha's team, leaving them nearly defeated and on the verge of a total wipeout.

"I'm dying laughing. Look at that healer hiding in the back, too scared to move. She can't even be part of the cheer squad."

"The Seventh Military Academy really has fallen from grace."

The next second, the girl who had been standing at the rear raises her palm slightly. A dazzling, gentle white light rises from the ground.

The entire Seventh Military Academy team returns to full health.

Their opponents: "???"

The spectators: "Holy crap?!"

When the soldiers on the front lines battling the insectoid race hear that a healing genius has appeared, they scoff.

"Even if she's a genius, it won't matter. The insectoids are devastatingly powerful. A healer's little bit of treatment can't keep up, and she'll only slow us down."

"I'll bet a dime she won't last a day before crying for her parents and going home. If she stays, I'll call her Mom."

On the battlefield the next day, a delicate girl in a white lace dress sits calmly at the rear, reading and drinking tea. Every so often, she gently raises a hand.

A massive group healing spell pours down like a rainstorm, enveloping the entire army. Wounds from insectoid bites heal in an instant.

The soldiers: "Holy crap! Mom!"

Blurb:

Overnight, An Ning and her husky transmigrate into a large-scale survival game called Frozen World. In this gamified world, An Ning discovers that her stats are laughably weak: 80 stamina and 8 health. A gust of wind could knock her over, and she gets winded just from chopping down a tree.

Then she checks her husky's stats. What the heck? 1099 stamina, and MAX luck? Are you sure this isn't a bug in the game?

From then on, An Ning shamelessly lives off her dog.

An Ning: "Ah, I need an axe to chop down trees."

[Your companion, the husky, has found an iron chest.]

An Ning: "Ah, there's nothing to eat."

[Your companion, the husky, has found a rabbit grove, a great place to catch rabbits.]

Trust the husky, and live forever!

The heroine has a dog, the hero has a cat, and together they happily become a pair of pet moochers.

Lu An, the most useless male lead in history, discovers he's even less useful than a dog!
