The male supporting character was actually myself.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Rescue! Rescue!

"Host, when are you finally coming?!" As a system, Xiaobai could naturally move freely in space, but being timid and afraid of its life, it was still trembling with fear, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless.

A moment later, a massive, all-black mech came hurtling through the air!

Little White jumped up excitedly and waved its little paws vigorously, "Host, I'm here!"

"Whoosh!"

Leaving behind a black afterimage, Jiang Chen piloted his super mecha swiftly towards the battlefield.

"Meow... I rushed here ahead of time to set things up, I was so scared!" Finally able to curl up on its host's shoulder, Little White curled up and found a sense of security, its voice no longer trembling. "Host, the recording equipment we used to exchange for in the store is of purple quality."

It can monitor and broadcast any corner of the entire interstellar battlefield in all directions!

This tool is probably used for live streaming tasks. It has a full range of functions, from recording video to capturing sound, editing, and publishing, all of which can be set up to work automatically.

But why... did you insist that I adjust the signal to be bad?

The live streams were intermittent; the short videos were also casually shot and had no cinematic quality whatsoever.

They even need to set up some delayed releases. I really don't understand why they have to do so many strange things.

Jiang Chen, piloting his mecha, replied briefly: "Complete the mission and make the protagonist famous throughout the galaxy."

"Huh?" Little White was completely bewildered. After thinking for a while, it still couldn't figure it out, so it could only slowly lick its paws and prepare to eat and drink for free and wait to win.

The storm has been encircled for ten hours.

Blood trickled from the corner of Tang Xiaoqi's mouth as she desperately piloted the mecha to fight and hold on.

She can't fall!

This is a super mech that the boss gave me, to maintain peace in the galaxy!

Behind him lay his sister's safety; his weary comrades; countless planets; countless races; and innumerable living beings!

The boss is on his way, just wait a little longer!

From the day he left the home planet, he piloted his starship to patrol the edge of the galaxy, wanting to protect the safety of the galaxy.

However, the war broke out without warning, and the boss was too far away; he needed time.

Before that, his mech was the only shield!

If we can't hold on, our comrades behind us will have to die...

Tang Xiaoqi was already relying on instinct to pilot the mecha. A jumble of incoherent voices kept echoing in her mind, and her head was throbbing with pain!

A beat too slow to react, she was attacked from behind and violently jolted in the pilot's seat, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

I'm so...tired...

She strained to look back at the rescue team struggling in the distance, but it seemed... they wouldn't make it...

"I...can't go back..." Tang Xiaoqi felt dazed, and when she spoke, her throat, which hadn't had a drop of water for a long time, felt like it was about to tear apart, hoarse and rough, "Please, take good care of my sister..."

Heavy breathing echoed in the command center. General Su Lan's cloudy eyes blurred instantly. She snatched the communicator and shouted, "Xiao Qi, hold on! We're rescuing you! Hold on!"

"No, don't let them come any closer..." Tang Xiaoqi waved her numb arms, straining to say, "The Storm has a final button. Once pressed... it will enter a self-destruct countdown."

I guess... this is the only way I can help everyone hold on for a while...

"Wait...wait until the boss gets here, please tell him...I'm sorry, I didn't do what he ordered..."

Pretending to be weak, Lin Fan lay in bed drinking specially supplied nutritional supplements, enjoying the massage from a beautiful nurse.

Upon suddenly hearing Tang Xiaoqi's words over the communicator, he immediately jumped up!

That mech can self-destruct?

No, no!

Damn Tang Xiaoqi, you dragged Feng Bao down with you when you died!

That's the mecha I've always dreamed of...

System, is there any way to stop Tang Xiaoqi from self-destructing? I need that mecha!

Sorry, the distance is too far; there are currently no usable items available.

Lin Fan paced anxiously in the lounge. Damn it, if only he had known, he wouldn't have slacked off!

With the help of the system, there must be a way to bring the storm back down.

This is a complete disaster!

"I'm sorry, farewell everyone..." Tang Xiaoqi murmured, reaching out to press the red button that she had reserved for herself as a last resort.

The moment her slender, bony fingers touched the cold button, a furious roar suddenly came from the communicator, "Tang Xiaoqi, you better hold on!"

boss?

Am I hallucinating?

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Tang Xiaoqi felt as if she had been given a shot of adrenaline, and her eyes immediately brightened.

Looking up ahead, I saw bursts of laser flames exploding, dismantling and blasting away enemy mechs, clearing a wide road!

On that brightly lit road, a black mech was like a sword drawn from its sheath or a roaring beast, unstoppable!

"Boss!" Tang Xiaoqi's pale face was covered in blood, but she couldn't help but laugh. As she laughed, tears blurred her vision.

This time... I can finally rest...

"They saved her! Oh my god, I'm so excited!"

"I was moved to tears when I saw the hero Tang Xiaoqi being taken to the advanced medical pod! He is a hero worthy of the respect of the entire galaxy!"

"Thanks to this website, we can see videos from the front lines. War is cruel, aggression is shameful, and our heroes are great!"

"Does anyone know whose black mech is? What's its name? It's so cool!"

"For your information: Tang Xiaoqi comes from the most barren planet, Desolate Prison. Her younger sister was kidnapped by human traffickers; her only remaining blank chip was stolen by Lin Fan from Desolate Prison."

A boy named Xia Jiangchen saved him and led him out of the desolate planet, helping him grow into a mecha genius!

Even his Storm was a gift from Xia Jiangchen!

He's the boss Tang Xiaoqi was talking about!

"There's new information about the battle in the live stream! Go check it out!"

"OMG, I'm going crazy! There's a super starship battle ambush over there on the live stream, it's so awesome and super exciting!"

……

Scenes from the front lines were recorded as videos and simultaneously updated on the website, with clear visuals and perfect sound capture.

Almost everyone in the entire galaxy who had the opportunity to watch witnessed the hero Tang Xiaoqi's "last words" and the entire process of the black mecha's powerful rescue.

Imira's expression was grave. He ordered, "Investigate how the internal communications were being intercepted. Immediately switch to encrypted communication lines. The video can be broadcast live, but our internal audio must never appear on the StarNet!"

The deputy took the order and left. The commander-in-chief, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was now on edge again. The internal communications had been deciphered, which was no small matter!

Jiang Chen arrived just in time.

Upon discovering an enemy ambush en route, he ordered the starship to engage while he piloted his mech to rescue Tang Xiaoqi ahead of time.

I'm quite satisfied with the result.

Tang Xiaoqi was severely exhausted in terms of mental and physical strength, but her life was not in danger.

Once you enter the highest-level medical ward and rest for a while, you'll recover.

The storm damage is a bit severe, and Mandy needs to help with the repairs;

The enemy's ambush force was utterly annihilated by the ship girls, shattering their series of follow-up plans.

Jiang Chen piloted the black mecha, the Xiaolong, and crushed his opponents on the battlefield with his strength. At first, the enemy even tried to trap Tang Xiaoqi and fight him in a war of attrition.

Unexpectedly, the delay wasn't too long before a series of advanced warships arrived to provide support, leaving the enemy's elite mech squad with no chance to retreat, and they were all destroyed!

The battlefield finally calmed down.

Both sides withdrew their troops and needed to catch their breath and redeploy.

Only then did the seven beautiful ship girls make their official appearance.

Aircraft carrier Amy; battleship Night Misa; battlecruiser Snow Night; supply ship Mandy; light cruiser Fei; destroyer Christine; heavy cruiser Edith—each with her own unique beauty, the ship girls filed in one after another, attracting the attention of all the soldiers and creating an unprecedented spectacle on the StarNet!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: A huge pit was dug to lure the enemy in.

“Our situation is not optimistic.” Jiang Chen said from the conference room. “The Serpent Galaxy has been plotting for a long time, and with the recent discovery of the bionic skin incident, I am very worried that even with a super starship, it will be difficult to deal with the conspiracy.”

Moreover, guns and cannons are indiscriminate, and the situation on the battlefield can change in an instant.

During this period, I will pilot the JF-17 in place of the Storm in battle, and the Super Starship will also launch a devastating attack on the enemy.

However, I worry that if something happens to me, the lack of command on the starship will have a significant impact on the battle situation.

"Ship girls need a contractor to activate, which is a big problem..."

Xiao Bai, who was dozing off during the boring meeting, suddenly perked up. "Host, what do you mean? Why did you have an accident? You were just trying to scare them, weren't you?"

Jiang Chen patted Xiao Bai's shoulder naturally and then ruffled its soft fur to calm it down.

"I knew it! How could my host possibly risk his life?" It yawned, stretched, curled into a fluffy ball, and purred. "You guys continue, I'm going to take a nap."

into the night.

Jiang Chen was having a serious discussion with the ship girls in the starship's conference room;

In a room at the headquarters, Luo Jiaxun and Lin Fan sat facing each other.

“A super starship… From Xia Jiangchen’s words today, I vaguely sensed that if he dies, there’s still a possibility that others could contract a super starship?” Luo Jiaxun sipped his tea slowly and sighed, “How wonderful it would be if we had such a powerful weapon on the battlefield.”

Lin Fan paused slightly as he poured tea. "Yes. Tang Xiaoqi's mental power is injured and won't recover for a while, so she's not a threat. But if Xia Jiangchen encounters any mishap on the battlefield, I can still give my A-level mental power a try."

“It’s a coincidence that you have the ability and I have the right to speak.” Luo Jiaxun smiled. “Opportunities will definitely come; it’s up to you whether you can seize them.”

Lin Fan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed!

If Xia Jiangchen were to encounter any mishap on the battlefield, the ship girls would be ownerless. With the Luo family's influence, they could definitely secure a chance for Xia Jiangchen to try contracting ship girls, since none of their younger generation possessed even a B+ level of telekinesis.
