Gundam: From Piece to Player

"I don't know. I'm not my father's biological son. I should actually call him my fifth uncle. My biological father is Kiran Zabi."

Just moments before, Sima was in a state of excitement and ecstasy. Upon hearing this name, it felt as if dry ice had been placed inside her brain, as the name evoked a great deal of unpleasant memories.

"……How old are you this year."

"I am 10 years old this year."

"At such a young age, instead of learning good things, they learn bad things to scare people."

She was 10 years old. When Kiran Zabi died, this child was only 3 years old. She was probably an illegitimate child. Although she was related to the Zabi family, Sima had no reason to hold a grudge. She is only alive now because of Kiran Zabi's brother.

Sima rolled her eyes at Elubie, got up from the ground and crossed her arms: "If you're worried about my health, don't worry about it. I know my body very well now."

"Aunt Sima, you're bleeding from your nose." Eloby covered her mouth with her hand, looking very surprised.

What? Could it be a side effect?

Sima quickly rubbed the area under her nose with her finger, but found nothing there.

"You've been tricked, Aunt Sima is so stupid. Only an idiot would fall for such a trick."

This brat, at such a young age, she doesn't learn anything good, and instead likes to tease others—how did Lord Karma raise her?

"You brat, you tricked me!"

Sima was about to rush over and teach the brat a lesson when she didn't notice the puddle on the ground and slipped and fell to the ground during her sprint... But in the instant she lost her balance, she used her waist and feet to push off and instinctively did a backflip.

"Wow, 10 points!" Eloby clapped her hands.

After completing the action, Sima was somewhat incredulous. Was this the power of the new human body?

Chapter 316 Anna's Weakness

The Shangri-La lookout set up the long-range telescope equipment and showed Aronnax the footage of what had just happened, the one that nearly beat Grax to a pulp.

Of course, Anna also inevitably plays the role of her "mother" to scare people.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now?"

Aronnax nodded: "It's just a pity about that base."

"It was going to be scrapped anyway. It's just that it's a hassle to go and get the machine from somewhere. Since we managed to trick your father-in-law, he definitely won't want to throw it away and will definitely want to get it back."

"The Minovsky propulsion system... Can Grax really develop it? Could it negatively impact our plans?"

"That thing can only be used for traveling, to catch up with the Space Alliance's light sails. We definitely need to have an extra layer of insurance, don't we?"

"Professor, can't you just be frank with him?"

"Are you willing to take the bet? The plan is almost complete, and we absolutely cannot afford to falter at this crucial moment."

Aronnax nodded; he had been too complacent and it was time to tighten up.

"Professor, are you going to see Kalmar again at the end of the year?"

"Go ahead, why not?"

"You'd better be careful, you might be under house arrest."

“Then you underestimate me,” Anna said. “Don’t underestimate my mind control.”

"Just call me to rescue you if the car overturns."

At the end of 0087, Kalma received another call from Anna.

To avoid any unpleasantness, he arranged to meet Anna at von Braun... which is currently the only neutral zone between the major powers.

To avoid being recognized, Kalma still used optical camouflage.

But Anna was only wearing sunglasses, a baseball cap, a shirt, and jeans... Wasn't she afraid of being recognized?

But think about it, there are people in the world who look like celebrities, and besides, I have my own protection, so what if I get recognized?

Upon arrival, the two held hands.

"do you miss me?"

"About a billion."

"Let's go."

What are we playing this time?

"Let's go check out the film studio, and also the Akihabara town on the moon."

"Urban tourism theme?"

Do you like it?

I like doing anything with you.

Karma felt as if she had eaten honey, and wished this moment could last forever.

“Anna, I’ve found the elixir of immortality. Your illness can definitely be cured too.”

"An elixir of immortality?" Anna's smile froze for a moment. "What elixir of immortality?"

"Simply put, it's a way to achieve immortality by constantly changing bodies..."

Anna held up a finger and placed it in front of his lips: "Let's not talk about this today."

“Okay.” Could Karma clearly sense Anna’s wavering, or was this something she hadn’t expected?

However, one thing is certain: the "elixir of immortality" is definitely an important part of Anna's secret.

For example, is Ms. Al, the founder of Al Pharmaceuticals, the same person as Anna?

Let's assume Anna also possesses a similar elixir of immortality technology.

Her limited lifespan may only refer to the lifespan of this physical body.

It's really hard to say who is older between the two. Maybe the girl in front of us is actually an immortal being who has lived for hundreds of years?

"Senior, why can't I read your thoughts?"

"It's just a little prop, you don't like it?"

"No... Senior has also grown into a man I can't see through. Do you want to take the initiative?"

"The initiative will be mine."

Karma reminisces about the past, when Anna seemed to be able to read her mind at will, no wonder nothing escaped her notice. But things are different now. Karma wants to prove that the old humans can also defeat the chosen ones who have awakened the power of the new-type through self-modification without side effects.

Just as humans did not defeat wild beasts by growing claws and fangs ten thousand years ago, but by learning to use stone tools and fire.

When making purchases locally, Kalmar can swipe whenever he wants and switch to another if he's not satisfied; this reflects the relaxed mindset that comes with having control over resources and means of production.

I checked into the second most expensive hotel in the area. Looking out from the presidential suite on the top floor, the entire von Braun complex was right in front of me.

What was Anna's accommodation like in Shangri-La?

After she entered the room, she sat down at the desk and began writing and drawing something on a piece of white paper. When Karma went over to look, she discovered that the paper was filled with formulas that she couldn't understand.

"what is this?"

"Wait until I finish writing."

After drawing for about ten minutes, Anna handed the blank paper to Karma: "Senior, if you can understand all the formulas inside, you will be able to solve the mystery of my life."

"Isn't this still a kind of riddle?"

"But researching this subject itself can also drive scientific progress, can't it? The thirst for knowledge and curiosity are the greatest driving forces for human progress."

Kalma scanned the contents of the paper with a scanner on his arm and then asked, "Knowledge-based artificial intelligence."

Some of these formulas are incomprehensible, but others are quite clear—the absolute position of the solar system relative to the background pulsars (millisecond pulsar array) of the Milky Way.

Are we trying to protect the solar system and defend against Ellis's attack through a wormhole generated from Jupiter?

It seems like UC Technology can't stop them.

Just as Karma was pondering the problem, Anna stretched and stood up: "I'm so tired from sitting in the spaceship, I need to take a shower first."

"Then go ahead."

"Senior, aren't you coming along?"

"We're going out to play later."

Taking advantage of Anna's inattention, Karma suddenly pulled her close and kissed her on the forehead.

And then something strange happened: Anna, who had been so composed just moments before, suddenly blushed, as if her defenses had been completely breached.

It was even more exaggerated than the fight he had with her at the Catalan villa.

Kalmar wanted to confirm something.

"Senior, what are you suddenly doing... what are you doing?"

"To conduct experiments."

Karma continued kissing her forehead, and Anna went limp, unable to stand, her breathing becoming heavy.

"Anna, is there some strange button on your forehead?"

"You're so mean, I'll hit you... I'm going to take a shower."

Karma laughed and let go of Anna after she punched him a few times in the chest with her little pink fists.

Could it be that powerful new humans like Anna have a perception ability of certain acupoints on their heads that is hundreds or even thousands of times greater?

It's true that the brain, as the organ for transmitting and receiving brainwaves in modern humans, is like a hunting dog's nose—it must be exceptionally sensitive.

Karma suddenly came up with a lot of ideas, and this time she was determined to show Anna how powerful she was.

The room service call suddenly came in—odd, I hadn't called for service.

"Guest, we just received your order, and the drone is now delivering the purchased goods to you."

Kalma took the item that was lowered from the drone's platform, opened it, and saw... it was a women's sports headband.

Chapter 317 "Extramarital Affair"

Karma found it somewhat amusing to see Anna wearing a headband after her shower, looking all puffed up in a huff.
