Dragons Should Get to Pilot Mechs Too!

[The twice-a-week story "The Goofy Spirit Beast Spills the Beans" is teased at the end. Feel free to check it out in my author profile!]

[Updates every other day, at 3 p.m. on odd-numbered days.]

After crawling out of a dragon egg, Yao Zhen discovered that it was now the interstellar era. The dragon race had gone extinct, and humanity had risen to the top of the galaxy with the help of mechs.

"What's this mech thing? Let me take a look." Yao Zhen picked up a mech textbook and flipped through it casually.

After half a month of studying day and night, the dark-circled dragon rubbed her eyes. "Rawr, this is actually pretty great!"

She transformed into human form and entered the Imperial Military Academy under a fake identity, with a double-B physique.

Then, in the academy tournament, her powerful dragon bloodline let her crush students with double-A and even double-S physiques.

Her defeated opponents: "This makes no sense. Is her physique really only double-B? T-T"

Yao Zhen clutched her secret identity close. "It is double-B, really! I'm just an ordinary human, please don't mind me QAQ"

To keep her secret identity from being exposed, Yao Zhen decided to hold back a little during the tournament.

During the tournament, which was being livestreamed across the galaxy, the media secretly installed cameras inside the competitors' mech cockpits, letting viewers see exactly how they operated during their matches.

[That B-rank who can go toe to toe with a double-S standout, what is she doing?]

The viewers then saw Yao Zhen sitting in her mech, apparently locked in a fierce battle with her opponent, while secretly operating the mech with just one hand and even yawning.

Viewers: [...I'm numb. Completely numb...]

[We thought she was an inspiring student taking on someone a whole rank above her. Turns out she was just acting the whole time...]

The next day, every interstellar news outlet was calling her the strongest, and the biggest actor in the galaxy.

Yao Zhen: [So what if I was acting? QAQ]

Coming soon: "The Goofy Spirit Beast Spills the Beans"

Synopsis:

After Yao Miao transmigrated into a cultivation novel about a destined hero, she became the arrogant and domineering daughter of the sect leader, otherwise known as the fiancee of the male lead in an annulment plot.

She planned to follow the story properly, but somehow gained the ability to understand spirit beasts. From then on, the spirit beasts let slip all kinds of secrets from the cultivation world, forcing her to discover that every cultivator in her sect had something seriously wrong with their head!

Take the aloof senior brother, who never gets involved in important sect affairs.

Behind the scenes, he's constantly fretting over his junior brothers and sisters, and spends every day chatting about his daily life with the spirit lion he keeps. As a result, the lion is still a cub, but has already developed frown lines.

Little spirit lion: Life's tough, and this little lion can only sigh QAQ

Then there's the elegant elder, who smiles while hiding his blade and excels at strategy.

Behind the scenes, he's actually obsessed with reading other people's expressions. His spirit dog has picked up the same habit, but its owner can't stand it, saying that looking at the dog is like looking at himself, and that the poor thing seems exhausted just from being itself???

Spirit dog: Is being too smart my fault? Whimper.

And then there's the sweet and kind senior sister, the perfect goddess in public.

In private, she nearly turned evil because she couldn't stomach the sect's food. Every day, she forces the spirit bird in the dining hall to add sugar to her dishes, just to slow down her plans to leave the sect.

The spirit bird, forced into submission, complains: Who puts sugar in tomato and egg stir-fry? It completely ruins the meal!

Last is the young senior brother, the destined hero of the story, elegant and unflappable in public.

In private, he's a deranged yandere, and for some reason, he's set his sights on her?

Yao Miao, who has only ever talked to his spirit rabbit: ???

P.S. This is a goofy story, a goofy story, a story where I let my imagination run wild.

Theme: Pursue scientific progress and never stop exploring
