Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 1108: The Show Begins

    

r to grind things.Ripple stretched and then got up to go to another cave to rustle up dinner. After the three of them had eaten their fill, Ripple decided to rest here for two days. It was cool and dr...With a "click," the power went out in the district where the ripples lived. The backup power would take at least three minutes to start up, and in those three minutes, many things could happen.

Ripples flashed and hid in the shadows by the window, and the next second someone broke in through the window, and it wasn't just one person but three.

The first person rushed straight to the training chamber, while the second went straight out of the room, seemingly wanting to deal with the household bio-mechanical robot as quickly as possible. After all, the other party wouldn't shut down and would immediately alert the authorities if a stranger entered. The nearby federal police would arrive at the scene first.

The third person was the most alert, and after scanning the room upon entering, they spotted Ripples hiding in the shadows.

The ripples didn't intend to hide for long anyway, so after being discovered, she took the initiative and attacked, swinging her staff at the third person who entered.

The collapsible staff in her hand was the only weapon her parents had left her, the weapon she had used since she began her training, the only weapon she could currently wield, and the only remaining memory of them.

This staff utilizes alloy technology, allowing for adjustment of length and weight to suit the user. It also enhances attack power, making it ideal for users like Ripple who have a foundation in combat. Most importantly, this staff can be upgraded. As long as energy crystals are plentiful, it can be equipped onto mechs.

In her past life, the original owner had barely survived thanks to this weapon, but lost an arm in the process. This only worsened her already precarious financial situation.

Now, using ripples instead amplifies the power of the staff, because ripples themselves are more powerful. Coupled with the staff's boost, if the ripples aren't controlled, it's essentially like a mech striking out with one blow. Imagine what the outcome would be in a fight between a mech and a human.

The newcomer hadn't seen ripples' strike in his eyes, to him ripples was at most a Boy Scout. However, until he was sent flying, smashing the room's walls and warping them, his eyes changed.

The ripples wouldn't give the enemy a chance to breathe, it was definitely taking advantage of their weakness. With a flying kick from his staff, he sent the second person who came to support flying. Then, the staff struck again, targeting the man collecting the cultivation chambers with spatial buttons.

The ripple attack slammed down in an instant, not only sending the man flying but also shattering the cultivation chamber in half.

At this point, the three of them were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected that a young girl who had just turned eighteen could be so powerful. The three of them looked at each other, drew out their laser guns, and began firing.

Ripple effects are just like this. If these people don't fire their guns, it's fine. The moment they pull the trigger, alarms go off all around.

Who told you to fire the gun

"Completing the task is the top priority!"

"Let's go!"

The man who retrieved the cultivation chamber was still cut in half, the sparks flashing cultivation chamber almost becoming scrap metal was taken into the spatial button, he decisively decided to leave.

Ripples took off her own neural implant bracelet, using it as a weapon and throwing it out. Then her bracelet was hit by a laser gun and destroyed beyond repair.

The first person to be hit immediately realized something was wrong. They scrambled to their feet and rushed toward the window, rolling to the ground just as a ripple of laser fire passed by. They shot out with a staff, knocking the laser gun from the third person's hand, then with a flick of the wrist, retracted the staff.

At this moment, the first person had already jumped out of the window. There should be someone waiting to receive him outside. Ripples turned her wrist, sweeping a stick horizontally, knocking the man who had dropped his laser gun to the ground, then rushed up and choked the opponent's neck.

"Go!"

The man only had time to utter a word before the ripples snapped his neck. Then, as the second man leaped out the window, he shot a deadly silk thread from his wrist, yanking him back to life.

Meanwhile, power was restored to the entire complex, and flashing police lights of federal patrol cars sped toward the floor where Ripples resided.

Seeing this situation, the person outside could only drive the hovercraft away immediately, and the federal police were also very capable, a patrol car directly spun in place and chased after the fleeing hovercraft.

Another police hovercar pulled up directly outside Ripple's window, and two fully armed federal officers immediately entered through the window, taking control of everyone in the room, including Ripple himself.

Ripple, seeing the Federal Police, immediately retracted her Deadly Silk and staff, shouting loudly:

"I am the owner of this room, He Lianyi. I'm calling the police, these people illegally broke into my residence, stole my newly purchased cultivation chamber, and attacked me!"

My home robot has been destroyed by them, and even my smart wristband was shattered. They must be repeat offenders, otherwise they wouldn't have found me here so accurately and cut off all my alert channels immediately.

Two officers had already handcuffed the living man, while another went to check on the one whose head had been twisted off by the ripple.

"Did you do this"

The patrol officer asked Lianyi.

"Yes, but I was acting in self-defense, and I am still a minor."

Liàn yī said, not blushing at all.

After all, her thirtieth birthday was still a week away. She had frugally saved up to buy the cultivation chamber as a birthday gift for herself. Another reason was to train in advance and prepare for the first academy's assessment.

The entire cultivation chamber had been completely destroyed. After all, they resorted to gunfire. The perpetrators were even minors. This situation was quite severe, so the two patrolling officers immediately called for backup from headquarters.

One of them, who seemed to be the leader, walked over. He raised his hand and pressed it against his ear, and his visor went up. He bowed to Ripple first, then said politely:

"Ms. He, considering your smart brain bracelet is damaged, I need to verify your identity first. Please cooperate."

"Okay, no problem."

Ripples agreed readily.

A man took out a palm-sized device from his waist bag and pricked the tip of Ripples' finger, taking a drop of blood which he put into the device. After a moment, the light screen on the instrument displayed Ripple's identity information in great detail.

Because interstellar technology is advanced, facial features can be disguised, and genes can naturally be replicated. However, the Interstellar Federation government strictly enforces a law prohibiting the replication of genes.

Even if gene replication is required for special circumstances, an application must be submitted to the federal government. Only after passing the review can gene replication be conducted in institutions designated by the government. Moreover, replicants will also be marked, and each legal citizen of the Intergalactic Federation has only one such opportunity.

Given that the average lifespan is now 300 years, some people strongly oppose cloning themselves because no matter how similar it is, it's not them. The original person's parents are in this situation; they chose to join the military but do not support using genetic cloning to resurrect another version of themselves.

"Identity verification, you are the owner of this house, I deeply sympathize with your experience, we will definitely catch the thief as soon as possible."

After confirming Ripple's identity, the patrol officer became much more polite in his speech.aby had been brought to her face by the leader of the masked men, who reported flatly:"The princess, she's a boy!"Xiangyi's gaze swept over the infant, the child's cries grew louder because he had bee...
