Chapter 1117 - 15 - 21

Chapter 15: Kill the skinny ones too!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be in the Mecha Department."

Female pilots were not uncommon. The existence of elite humans had allowed females to occupy a place on the mecha warrior teams in the Aslan Empire, but it was still relatively less common on Earth.

"Oh, you have forgotten what our family does?" Ye Zisu asked.

The Ye Family owned Asia's largest mecha manufacturing and maintenance company, OMG.

"Do you have anything to do this summer break?"

"Not much, work and training and waiting for school to open." Wang Zheng found no need to lie about his own situation. It was no secret anyway.

"Oh really, I want to practice too. Any interest in coming to OMG? You can get in touch with mecha assembly." Ye Zisu blinked. She knew that this offer was one that Wang Zheng could not reject.

It was not about pay. More importantly, she knew extremely clearly about Wang Zheng's liking for mecha.

To be patient for a day or a month was doable, but to fun-seeking youths, being patient for four years was unimaginable. Although Ye Zisu had to work hard to inherit her family's industry, she was a girl—vanity, meetups, shopping, and the like were not things she could forgo.

If not for her close attention, how could she remember Wang Zheng's name, and his shocking gene score of 28?

"If that's possible, then many thanks." Wang Zheng truly wanted to experience real mecha.

Ye Zisu laughed. "You're welcome. Take it as my apology. We are even."

Wang Zheng suddenly felt that it was quite nice when girls were kind-hearted.

An internship at OMG was much better than working at a restaurant.

OMG's headquarters was in Beijing. Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu had already been working here for three days. Nobody here knew who Ye Zisu was, and both of them came in as interns. This Miss OMG really came to learn.

There were a variety of mecha analysis charts, a variety of parts, and the main work was to analyse and repair. This implied an opportunity to fully understand the mecha. It has to be said that this was the best place Wang Zheng could think of.

Wang Zheng chose the testing department that dealt with mecha experiments. Of course, this would not be a job if one didn't get greasy and tired. Ye Zisu was in the design management department. A week passed and Wang Zheng was very fulfilled.

"Kid, is it cleaned yet? Be defter, there's still a lot behind!"

An old man in his sixties walked in. His spirit was very hale and hearty. Wang Zheng had completely become his coolie, working from early till late, sometimes even overtime, on all kinds of dirty work.

"Rest assured when I do things, Old Luo. Is this wrecked Demon Wolf Type V still fixable?"

"There is no mecha that I, Luo Mu, can't fix. Come over here to observe."

Wang Zheng slid down from atop the mech. "Isn't Asia's equipment too poor? I heard that the Moon Army no longer uses the four basic models anymore."

"Kid, do not underestimate the four basic mecha. They are the root of the mecha. All those so-called advanced things merely have additional weapons added on top of this basis; no variation will leave the basics. As long as you master the four types of mecha, the rest are a piece of cake."

Luo Mu was rather arrogant, but Wang Zheng knew that this stubborn old man truly had the chops.

Wang Zheng was suitable for Luo Mu's temper. He was not like the average youth with high standards but low ability. It could be seen that he had an inner love for mecha and was also diligent. Having been here for a week, as long as Luo Mu ordered, he would do it meticulously. As such, when there was time, Luo Mu did not bother Wang Zheng. There were detailed descriptions of mecha and parts here, so if one had an interest in mechas, there was truly no better place than here.

Wang Zheng had been sleeping in the warehouse throughout this week. The overall mecha design blueprint was not too difficult for him. Three-dimensional analysis and the understanding of the blueprints were his strong suits. All of the mecha parts could be found in the warehouse for easy reference as well, giving Wang Zheng the best opportunity possible in understanding the mecha.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Zheng had been chased away by Old Luo at this point. Weekends should be enjoyed and the young need not hurry, as there was a lot of time to learn.

Actually, Wang Zheng could not bear to part with the company's free meals, which was rather cost effective.

Brother's Net Café. The boss teared a little upon seeing Wang Zheng. Since Yan Xiaosu gave up on CT, the boss had suffered the loss of a big customer.

This boss even gave Wang Zheng a free bottle of drink. It was really not easy.

Not only could one battle in CT, there was also a community zone to facilitate player interactions. Actually, the virtual world was also another kind of life. There were lot of people chatting on the forums, getting to know new friends, but Wang Zheng had little interest in this, so he went straight into matchmaking mode.

He had finally found some time to play a round, but he hoped for a competent opponent. He did not want to waste the internet fees!

Student Wang prayed.

At this point, a group of people were in heated battle in a five versus five. The channel was even livelier. Suddenly, the best player on the other team surrendered. What was happening?

"Skeleton is online!"

"Who is this fellow? Is he very famous?"

"I heard that he is so amazing that it's like he abuses bugs! Why don't we go take a look?"

"How high can the standards in novice zone be?"

In the rookie zone, Skeleton's username was already very well known. Not only did his influence not drop after disappearing for a week, players were greatly anticipating him. Mainly, there were too few masters in this division.

Recently, Solon's headaches had come back. He sent a message but instead scared away the other party. What was this? The moment he heard that Skeleton was online, his headache subsided.

"Put up an official notice immediately. Give me A-grade advertisement publicity!" Solon started.

"Boss, this not a good idea. What if we are caught by the auditors for doing unauthorised actions and they have a handle on us …"

"Do it immediately!"

"Yes, Boss!"

The staff rushed out hurriedly. Student Wang seemed to be desperately waiting to be matched with an opponent. Why was it so slow today? Have there been fewer players recently?

Fewer?

The forums had already exploded. There was a big red banner. It was a sighting of Skeleton! Even the numerous Corps had been mobilized. Attention to him had increased several times! Apart from rookie level players, a few pros had also begun to take notice. Even though they still believed that this was someone's smurf, it had not been found out yet. But as the battles proceeded, he would definitely leak some clues.

Of course, if he lost, then there would be no need to find out anymore.

Ding dong.

Student Wang's opponent had finally been matched.

Due to four consecutive wins, although the points were very low, the matched opponent was already very strong.

ID: Red Flag

Mech: Wargod No. 1

Record: 15 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss. The reason for the one loss was because of an overly high winrate, resulting in getting matched with a high level mech. The mech was too well equipped and the disparity was huge, resulting in the loss.

Without a doubt, this was a smurf. Although it was not publicly admitted, everyone guessed that this was Justin from the diamond ranked corps, the Wild Corps.

The entire forums erupted in chatter. Very clearly, some people could not stand this. This method of garnering attention with smurfs was very hated. It had been trendy a few years ago, but no one did it anymore. Whoever did so would have a master coming to disrupt their games.

But this was nothing like that, it was a chance.

Solon���s heart sank. He really did not wish for Skeleton to run into such a strong opponent so early, but this was not something he could control.

He was very clear that this Red Flag was Justin. This fellow enjoyed sticking a flag onto the forts of the opponents he had defeated. He was a rather flashy player.

Ranked top ten in the European region, Justin stared at his screen and his mouth turned into a proud smile. D**n, I really hate it when people smurf. Of course, he himself smurfing was an exception.

Justin's specialty was incomprehensibly violent techniques. He was able to fully bring out a humanoid mech's full potential. To him, the human body was a mech and the mech was no different from a human body. He was extremely adept at controlling mecha.

He would rampage with a titanium knife. In battle, everyone's slogan was "do not fight with Justin at close range".

That was why Justin came back. This was because this person called Skeleton actually went with the same loadout as himself, a Wargod No.1 armed with a titanium knife. He had used such a tactic two years ago, and it came to an end eventually. This time, he would be the one to end this farce.

Of course, he would never admit that these were his true reasons for stepping up.

Skeleton VS Red Flag.

This would be interesting, both parties smurfing in battle. Who was more willing to be ruthless?

The officials sent out a notification saying: Who is the real god of war?

The number of clicks quickly broke ten thousand. One reason was because of Skeleton, and the other was because Red Flag was the character who shook things up two years ago.

"It's definitely Justin. That fella cannot bear to see someone more famous than him!"

"There's a good show to watch this time. Justin is in Europe's top ten, so if he doesn't win, his opponent will get incredible exposure!"

"Are you joking? Skeleton can't win. Justin's specialty is one versus one. The only reason why he's not ranked higher is that he is just too wild and violent! His skills are definitely in the Top 10 of Earth's players."

"Forget it, enough talk. I'm paying to watch this battle!"

Ma Xiao also stopped his training. His teammates gathered over. "Captain, is this Red Flag Justin?"

"Indeed. It's no secret within the circle anymore. Except what he doesn't know is that the opponent is a smurf as well, haha."

As Ma Xiao put it, this brat was just too much of a show off. There was a point in time where Red Flag was very famous. Even if his mech was weaker, with Justin's bug-abusing-like gameplay, he would still be able to bridge the difference in close quarters combat. However, if the opponent was of the same skill level but with a better mech, he would not be able to win. Although Justin realized that afterwards, he was still depressed and did not continue playing his smurf. However, after seeing this Skeleton, he still held a grudge about that time and thus came to find him to end things.

However, Justin was still very manly. Wargod No. 1 vs Wargod No. 1.

Wang Zheng took a look at his opponents' records. This opponent should be pretty good, and he even chose Wargod No. 1 too. He must have considerable self-confidence.

"Boss, we have broken through 2,000 paying viewers, and it's still rising in a straight line. Our duration to publicize was too short. If we had done it in accordance with our established practice for this kind of surprise situation, if we had prepared enough, we could at least break 5,000!" the staff member said excitedly, but Solon was not even a little bit excited.

This d**ned fellow, could he not wait to feed Skeleton a little fatter before the kill? This guy was just starting to get a few views, d**n it!

Solon waved his hand weakly. "Go, settle it well. Let me rest for a while. D**n it, my head is starting to hurt again."

Chapter 16: A Violent Kill

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Battle commence.

Random Map: Desert.

Justin naturally did not have to take advantage of Skeleton, yet it was as if God was on his side. As a master of close quarters combat, Justin was also one of the top few in adapting to various landscapes. To the average player, the desert represented hopelessness. Operating in such an environment was a whole other matter.

Skeleton VS Justin!

Both mecha appeared in the boundless desert simultaneously, but Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 clearly shook a little.

Some experienced players' hearts skipped a little. This shaking was a sign of lack of experience in the desert environment.

As long as one had not been promoted to bronze or higher, they were forever a noob. But noobs had dreams too. They wished that one noob could challenge those arrogant players.

But dreams were dreams, and no one believed that Skeleton was really a noob. But the truth was he actually was one.

The Wargod No. 1 staggered a few steps in the desert. This was an obvious sign that he was not comfortable. Anyone operating a mech in the desert for the first time was like this.

Justin was dumbfounded. D**n! Do not pretend to be a smurf like others if you have no skill. He still believed that his opponent had some chops, but in the end he turned out to be just a noob.

But after a few steps, the Wargod No. 1 stopped sinking into the desert. Justin's expression calmed down too.

It was easy to spot an expert. The opponent's stance suddenly became flawless again.

"D**n, interesting. Regardless of who you are, I will beat you until you show your true form!"

Justin laughed.

Both parties' stances were pretty much identical. One second … two seconds … three seconds. The atmosphere was very imposing; the players also felt that the atmosphere was a little different from the usual.

Almost at the same time, both Wargod No. 1 mecha rushed at each other.

The Wargod No. 1s soared in the desert, sweeping up sand in its flight. It seemed that Skeleton had already gotten used to the desert environment, but it was obvious that Justin's Wargod No. 1 was faster and more dexterous. He moved more freely and more easily. His nickname of "Violent Solo Mid" was not for nothing.

Bang …

Justin attacked. This demonstrated clear dominance in his operating prowess. His titanium knife stabbed downwards. So this was Violent Solo Mid?

Everyone understood what followed. A violent assault that left no room for the opponent to breath. His titanium knife wildly attacked, slicing death from all angles. They were using Wargod No. 1, which meant that it could be over in one attack. Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 could only try to parry.

The moment Justin attacked, his opponent might as well close their eyes already.

Ma Xiao and company looked at each other. They originally thought that they could watch a fierce fight, but it turned out to just be like this.

"Captain, this was a wipe-out. I can't even tell who's who yet and it's already about to end."

"Don't tell me this guy is losing intentionally because it's Justin."

"Very possible!"

Only Ma Xiao was silent. At the start, he also thought that the guy would lose, but something was not quite right. Justin's attack was ferocious, but Skeleton's defense was not out of position. The titanium knife took Justin's attack completely.

But this did not reverse the situation and still could not change the results. To let Justin simply engage spelled doom. Even he, who used a beast mech, did not dare to let Justin engage like that.

It was also Justin's first time meeting an opponent who was so resistant. Such a ferocious attack, yet his opponent did not lose his position!

If there was even the slightest shake, he could deal a heavy blow, but his opponent maintained his balance extremely well.

D**n it, who is this fellow!

Bonehead once said that losing one's centre of balance was losing one's life.

Whether it was the horse stance or the poles, a large part of it was for training his balance. At this moment, Wang Zheng had a deep realization that the sand would lead to imbalance in the mech's feet. If one exerted too much force, one would even get stuck deeper. But … it was really pretty interesting, and this opponent was interesting!

Patience!

Wang Zheng was extremely patient. He responded to Justin's attacks slash by slash, sparks flying from the contacting titanium knives. No one was sure how long it had been since such a battle like this has taken place in the novice zone.

The average player could not even dream of handling such an attack; it would either result in death, or both parties would be severely hurt. Against Red Flag's ferocious attack, Skeleton actually parried every hit.

The players clenched their fists, held their breaths, and silently endured. They could attack once their opponent made a mistake!

But Skeleton's opponent was Justin!

Justin's hurricane-like suppression was quite exhausting. If the opponent was rather resilient and the attacks were unable to achieve their results, then the result of battle would be hard to say. Some serious effort would be necessary.

He stabbed with his titanium knife three times in quick succession, attacking violently, immediately creating an opportunity which lasted less than a second.

Red Flag then swapped his knife grip to that of a reverse grip. Once this happened, even the inexperienced players could guess that this was Justin's specialty— Crazed Killer Fist!

Justin's Wargod No. 1 spun around wildly like a gyroscope towards Skeleton's Wargod No. 1!

Dang dang dang dang …

Kill kill kill kill kill!

Sparks lit the sky. Only Justin could find the space to spin in such a tight situation. The opponent had no means of escape.

Hong …

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 flew outwards.

Was it about to end?

Peng!

The Wargod No. 1 landed stably. Justin did not pursue, because the high-speed rotation had caused his mech's legs to sink in the sand. Aggressively pursuing would, on the contrary, give the opponent an opportunity.

Who was this fellow? He was so good at resisting!

=

The blowback from the ferocious streak of attacks had, on the contrary, been borrowed to leave the battle. Amongst the opponents he knew, not even a few could do this.

The battled returned to the beginning. All players had a suffocating feeling. D**n, since when had the novice zone seen such a battle!?

While there was no spectacle of high-level mecha, there was a sense of primal violence!

"Kid, I don't care who you are. You are going down today!" Justin said silently. This was a new secret move he had trained this year and had never planned to use it in such competition.

Wang Zheng could feel his opponent's murderous energy. He looked forward to the next move.

Almost at the same, both Wargod No. 1 mecha rumbled murderously towards each other.

20 meters … 15 meters … 10 meters …

In a moment, Red Flag's Wargod No. 1 made the first move. With a sudden stomp, yellow sand burst outwards and formed a dust cloud. It obscured the visibility of everything!

Supporters of Skeleton were stunned for a moment. D**n it, how shameless, using dirty tricks!

There was no right or wrong on the battlefield. Justin's close quarters combat was ferocious because he made use of his surroundings well, allowing him to make comebacks even when he was losing.

And Justin was already in the air. This was his newest move, the Spinning Killer Fist!

Due to the terrain, the technique's difficulty was increased by at least fifty percent. However, using half a year's time, Justin could finally use it deftly. It would even bring God to his knees.

But where was the target?

Suddenly, a mech appeared right in front of him!

It was Skeleton's Wargod No. 1!

D**n it, he was also using a reverse grip with his knife. Did he think that such a move was child's play?

Justin's immediately executed the Crazed Killer Fist, the titanium knife wildly chopping towards his opponent. However….

The opposing Wargod No. 1 utilised the Crazed Killer Fist too!

The clash between the two knives caused a flurry of sparks to erupt between the mecha. The exhaust emitted by the engine sputtered out in jets as the engines struggled to keep up with the movements of the mecha. Conversely, there was no trace of movement in the entire audience zone.

Both of the Wargod No. 1 mecha landed at the same time. After a brutal exchange like this, whoever made the first move would claim victory!

It was still Justin. He raised his titanium knife first.

This was the power of Europe's ace player, Violent Solo Mid!

However, Justin suddenly realized that the mech in front of him was getting bigger and bigger.

Hong …

The sky and earth spun. D**n, this was … a headbutt?

In the moment of landing, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 had not used his equipment but instead rammed straight on. Justin's titanium knife had only just been raised!

Hum …

The titanium knife slipped out of his mech's hand, then a chain of exploding sparks covered the mech and the head of Red Flag's mech flew away into the distance.

The sparks flying out from the neck were particularly dazzling.

Hong …

Exploding mech!

Skeleton WIN!

The audience zone fell silent. Europe's Violent Solo Mid, Justin, had been thrashed?

And this was by his own specialty, the reverse-grip knife!

Wang Zheng felt the Rubik's Cube on his chest finally heat up for a moment. It was rare for there to be some reaction.

After playing some exiting CT, he needed some time to reflect. Battle was experience, and what was important to realise and remember was that this opponent's close quarters combat was very unique. The spinning backhanded stroke could indeed drastically increase the attack speed, but this move was very taxing. It was basically an all-in, leaving oneself with not much leeway. It was okay for one versus one, but in a team fight, it was equivalent to giving a free kill.

A very risky move.

After reflecting for ten minutes or so, Wang Zheng opened his eyes. He was satisfied. It was time to go before the boss added to his fees.

Although basic seats were slightly cheaper, Wang Zheng had gotten used to the VIP zone's cleanliness, and the cockpits here were slightly better.

He left relaxed and carefree, without a trace. Everyone else was left thunderstruck.

Who was this person? He was too sick!

He even defeated Justin!

And he even used Justin's specialty, the Crazed Killer Fist!

Team Dragon God's little players were all in shock. This fellow could make a comeback?

"You guys take a good look at the replay, I'll go check up on Justin!"

Ma Xiao laughed and went out of the door, dialing on his Skylink.

Justin was in a daze. How was this possible???

Who was this expert? He ran through the opponents he knew mentally. Yet amongst those he knew, there was totally no one who had such skills!

Suddenly, Skylink rang … it was Ma Xiao. Don't tell me…

"Ma Xiao, don't tell me that was you. Are you on steroids?" Justin scorned.

"Haha, it would be awesome if that was me. I've come to ask, losing as Europe's Violent Solo Mid, how does that feel?"

"F**k, scram, be careful, because I might PK[1] you in real life!"

They were both old rivals, and they were actually on pretty good personal terms.

"Don't be sad anymore. You are not the first to lose to him." Ma Xiao laughed bitterly.

"…Was that Dragon God 007 was really you?"

"D**n it, I originally wanted to show off a little in front of the new additions to the team, but I ended up getting butchered. This fellow really does have some chops; it seems as if he's really good at imitating others."

"We must find him regardless of who he is. I must get my revenge. The Wargod No. 1 doesn't allow me to demonstrate my full capabilities!"

Justin was upset. Most depressingly, his opponent had used his own move to end him.

"Oh, let me know if you find out."

Solon was in his office massaging his head. He had to think of a new plan already, but all possible tricks had been used before. New ideas do not come easily; otherwise, he could spend money. But the finance department's control was powerful, so approval for big sums of money would be difficult.

[1] Slang for Player Kill. It means to kill someone's character in a game.

Chapter 17: Nervous

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Boss, he won, he won!"

"So what if he won? Justin winning is very normal. This fellow could have chosen any time to show up, but he had to choose this time,"

Solon hummed. Thinking about this made his head hurt.

"No, Boss. Skeleton won. And he even used Justin's move to beat him. The live stream view count broke 5,000. The forums are exploding; the click rate is already more than 100,000!"

Solon sprang from his seat. His old waist seemed to have returned to the time when he was 18.

How was this possible?

Truly, how was this possible?

As if hit by an underwater grenade, many people had been blown away. This was different from the Dragon God 007 fight, where everyone had no idea who the player could have been. Many moves were imitable by players, and although Red Flag's moves were well-known, only Justin was able to use the Crazed Killer Fist to this level. This fellow's personality was not easy-going; even with friends he did not hold back.

However, Justin was done in by a nameless player.

The channel was being watched by countless players. Very clearly, this person was not used to the desert environment at the start. His movements were like those experienced by new players. Initially, when they first entered the desert, one foot would be deeper than the other, and falling was not uncommon.

But Skeleton seemed to have adapted immediately. What kind of ability to adapt was this???

Was he only pretending to be a noob?

If this was the case, it was too real. It could win the Milky Way Oscars!

The slow motion cam of the Crazed Killer Fist was even more brutal. Such a violent attack was rare to see even in the high level zones. Both players had taken the ability of Wargod No. 1 to its limits.

And the final response was even more unimaginable, a headbutt …

Justin, known for his reflexes, had been killed by a blow like this.

Skeleton had replicated Violent Solo Mid's secret technique!

His latest move—Spinning Crazed Killer Fist!

The legend had begun. Who was next?

Who could stop Skeleton's advance!?

Student Wang was eating instant noodles and checking his Skylink bill at the same time. D**n, not a single cent. What was going on?

At this rate, he could not even afford instant noodles anymore.

Skylink beeped and rang. It was Ye Zisu.

"What's up, Zisu?"

Ye Zisu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Wang Zheng's mouth was stuffed full of instant noodles. This was what he ate at home?

"Can't I talk you even if there's nothing up? Little Jing is not around and I'm bored on my own, so let's go sing!"

Wang Zheng sweated. "Cough cough. That is very dangerous."

"What's the matter?"

"When I was younger, my singing caused my neighbor's pet to faint."

Ye Zisu could not hold in her laughter. "Rest assured, my tolerance is strong. Besides, I sing very well."

Needless to say, after having interacted a bit, Wang Zheng felt like Ye Zisu was not bad. It was normal for girls to be a little haughty. After understanding this, they could still be friends. Besides, they were school mates in the same department. Someone from the same middle school and same college— it was pretty hard to come by.

In the end, the proof was out. Student Wang was truly not suitable for singing. Even though he kind of liked to hum, he left Ye Zisu in laughing fits. Whatever semblance of her lady-like image had been tossed into cloud nine.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, especially for Wang Zheng, whose life was incomparably filled. Ares College would have a physical test upon school opening, specifically targeted at students of the Military Department. If one performed too poorly, they would be immediately eliminated. Wang Zheng also did not dare to slack off. After all, his means of entry was not exactly conventional, so he could not afford to mess up.

At the OMG headquarters in Beijing, more than a hundred employees were cheering ten young maintenance technicians on.

"Uncle Luo Mu, Wang Zheng has only been learning for a month. Is this too rushed?" Ye Zisu asked worriedly in the crowd. OMG regularly held maintenance competitions in order to encourage technicians. Although there was no restrictions against interns participating, the outcome was predictable. This time, however, Luo Mu registered Wang Zheng.

Luo Mu glanced at Ye Zisu unexpectedly. "Silly head, you spent so much effort trying to get him in, yet you don't know his capabilities?"

Ye Zisu was slightly startled. Wang Zheng's capabilities? She felt that Wang Zheng was a hardworking and serious person, but this had no relation with talent. Besides, his gene score was …

"Silly head, don't obsess over gene scores; that's just a reference!" Luo Mu said. Initially, he didn't really want to take Wang Zheng in, but he could not put off silly Ye Zisu's earnest pleas. Who would have thought that he would actually uncover a gem?

The competition began. The ten competitors were all the best technicians from Beijing and the surrounding areas. Wang Zheng was considered to be one of the greenhorns amongst them. This time, the competition was about the dismantling of the core parts of the training machine.

The ten of them quickly boarded the ladder. They were all around thirty years old. Wang Zheng was indeed very young and inexperienced amongst them, but he was not at all slow.

Ye Zisu was also watching. Wang Zheng was fast like a veteran, quickly dismantling. Luo Mu stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly. This fellow was not at all like a rookie. Crucially, he did not fluster under pressure. Some people did well during training but got too nervous during competitions. Wang Zheng was, on the contrary, more enthusiastic in this competition.

"Silly head, this kid has potential, but it would be a waste for him to be a technician. Although I have not seen the world, I dare to say that this kid is made for great things!"

Luo Mu was really very satisfied with Wang Zheng. Ye Zisu's heart was also beating fast. What did he mean by having not seen the world? In terms of solving difficult mecha problems, Luo Mu was an expert. He was OMG's trump card and it was easy for him not to show up. Actually, Luo Mu could have retired long ago, but he stayed at OMG because he liked it. In fact, Ares College once invited him to be a guest professor to teach an elective at the Mecha Department.

"Uncle, you should really consider Ares College's idea. You can pass down more skills and techniques."

"Oh, you think I don't understand you youngsters these days? High ambitions, low skills, afraid of dirt and sweat. When it comes to action, one person can do the jobs of two of you," Luo Mu said.

"Uncle, don't you still have students like Wang Zheng? You need to nurture and bring this part of them out!"

Ye Zisu continued persuading. An experienced technician like Luo Mu held considerable influence. If he could teach at Ares College, it would benefit OMG's brand image.

"Gee, silly head, don't think I don't know what you're planning … but you do have a point. Let me ponder over it."

It has to be said that Wang Zheng made Luo Mu begin to view these "gifted students" differently.

Time ticked by. Wang Zheng was the first to hop down from the mech. 19 minutes and 5 seconds, a new shop record.

Luo Mu laughed heartily and nodded. "Impressive. This kid's best is usually 25 minutes. He's broken through in a competition!"

The judge had already began testing with his assembly apparatus, raising an OK hand sign shortly after. The applause below roared louder.

"A great teacher produces a great protég��!" Ye Zisu also clapped. This was indeed an unexpected outcome.

Student Wang heaved a big sigh of relief. He had finally done it. Combining the internship pay and prize money, it was enough for school fees!

Solon was flustered like an ant on a hot pot recently. He had sent Skeleton numerous messages, but they had all disappeared like rocks in a big ocean. He kept wondering where he had gone wrong, but he never dreamed that it was because of the insufficient prize money!

CT's first sum of prize money was instantly sent, but subsequently it had to pass a certain threshold before it would be transferred. He would never have thought that someone was waiting so eagerly.

Wang Zheng was wholly engaged, and Luo Mu also put in a lot of effort to teach. A hardworking, enduring youth like him who was not afraid of dirt or tiredness, who could dislike him? Most importantly, Luo Mu could see that this kid was truly passionate from the inside.

Finally, Wang Zheng became the champion of the maintenance technician competition, and even broke Luo Mu's own lasting record of 1 hour and 13 minutes. Wang Zheng spent 50 minutes, breaking the 1 hour barrier for the first time. Wang Zheng's mobility was not something the average person could match up to.

What made Wang Zheng the happiest was that this whole month of rising early and sleeping late had been worthwhile. He finally no longer had to worry about school fees. The time was short, but the rewards were huge. Wang Zheng had gained an understanding of the basic makeup of a mech and understood the hows and whys. He even found a friend in Ye Zisu. In fact, she was not as she appeared to be—all lofty; her friendship still depended on feelings.

A square-faced fatty had once said before: fate!

Yan Xiaosu and Xie Yuxin had also returned. In this period of time after leaving school, everyone had changed.

Yan Xiaosu's face had become chubbier, but his change in character was more significant. This trip to Mars had been eye-opening. Yan Xiaosu now, on the contrary, was a little grateful to Yue Jing—if not for her, he would still be groping around without direction.

Xie Yuxin, however, did not talk much about his experiences; he had always been like this. But it could be seen that this trip out had also filled him up with more drive.

School had opened at Ares College!

The entrance of Ares College was flooded with people. All kinds of gorgeous maglev cars filled the streets. There were enthusiastic seniors everywhere.

Especially male seniors. They exploded with unprecedented passion, eyes sweeping like laser guns across the crowd. Once they found their target, they pounced.

So many youthful and beautiful juniors. Whoever made the first move had the advantage and whoever was late would lose out. Thus, there were many volunteers.

But nobody cared about Wang Zheng, Yan Xiaosu, and Xie Yuxin as the three of them stood there.

The three of them looked at Ares College's main entrance. "This entrance is too broken already. Wait till I am rich, I'll replace it with the most gorgeous in the Milky Way!"

Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin looked at each other and laughed. "Wang Zheng, I don't believe that it's a coincidence that your score is 60. I hope to compete with you fairly this time," Xie Yuxin said suddenly.

Wang Zheng paused. "Bring it on!"

The three split up and reported to their departments. When Wang Zheng arrived at the Mecha Department, the enrolment teacher adjusted her glasses. "Are you sure you are in the Mecha Department? Your name isn't here."

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment. This was not a prank, right?

"Teacher, could I trouble you to check again?"

"Wang Zheng, right? Let me check … you belong to the Physics Department. You've come to the wrong place. Exit the door, turn right, go straight past three intersections."

Wang Zheng was a little dazed. What was going on? Had it not been agreed upon that he would be in both the Physics Department and the Mecha Department? Don't tell me …

Wang Zheng found the Physic Department building and asked a lot of people before managing to find Xiao Fei.

"Doctor, why is my name not under the Mecha Department?" Wang Zheng stared at Xiao Fei. He was a little nervous. He did not want to spend his days dealing with numbers.

Xiao Fei raised her head and smiled. "Calm down a little, sit."

"Doctor, this is not a joking matter. I remember you promising that I could study at two departments." Wang Zheng felt dizzy. He had already missed the registration for the army.

Chapter 18: School Starts for Little Children

"Oh, since when have I, Xiao Fei, not kept my promises? You are entering as a Physics Department student. The old head has allowed you to listen in for Mecha Department lessons."

Xiao Fei gazed at Wang Zheng as if he was a delicious prey.

Wang Zheng was stunned. D**n, without the graduation certificate from the Mecha Department, how could he join the military after graduating?

"Are there any other options?"

"Student Wang, don't be rash, think carefully. You have no other paths to turn to, and the school fees will not be refunded. Besides, this year's military recruitment is already over. Oh, right, even if it wasn't over, I also have my ways of not letting you go. So just stay obediently as my helper, and if you're good enough, I will then let the Mecha Department enroll you as a student."

Xiao Fei laughed rather sinisterly. This gifted doctor was known to be ruthless. It was a pity that Wang Zheng had been enchanted by her appearances. It was also Xiao Fei's first time finding a student who she could communicate with, completely different from those stupid fellows. How could she let this go?

Wang Zheng was speechless. What was this? He had absolutely no interest in physics. In the past, he had only done it to accompany the elderly in conversation; after all, the Old Merchant was rather pitiful.

"Student Wang, actually, the principal and I have put in a lot of effort. Think about who would want you based on your circumstances. I have used my status as a professor to specially recruit you, but the Mecha Department has no one specially recruiting you. You have to prove your worth through your own actions. I have taken on a huge risk in this matter. You don't seem like someone who is irresponsible," Xiao Fei said with melancholy, as if Wang Zheng had done something against the heavens.

Wang Zheng understood. He was already on board, and there was no getting off. The good thing was that there was still a chance.

"Cough cough. Thanks, teacher. I will definitely work hard!"

"Very good. That is the attitude a student should have. Your macro ideas are pretty good, but the micro details are a little rough. Study well, you'll definitely have a bright future," Xiao Fei said in a senior fashion.

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded. D**n it, he definitely did not want to have a future in physics.

Wang Zheng resigned and found his dormitory. Three of his roommates had already arrived, except they were nowhere to be seen. After Wang Zheng tossed his luggage onto the only empty bed, his Skylink beeped and rang.

"Boss, meet at the flower beds at the school entrance. College's first gathering has begun!"

Yan Xiaosu had already thoroughly felt the waves of youth; his voice was so passionate.

By the time Wang Zheng arrived, Yan Xiaosu and Xie Yuxin were already waiting. "How is it? Feels pretty good, right?" Xie Yuxin said.

" Did you already know beforehand that I'm in the Physics Department?"

Xie Yuxin shrugged. "No choice. Only professors have the power to specially recruit people. Isn't it pretty good that Xiao Fei sees something in you? Anyway, you have the opportunity to listen in at the Mecha Department. You'll be alright if you grasp the opportunity."

Wang Zheng also knew that it was truly already pretty good.

"Little Yu, you are too secretive. Why didn't you tell us that Gu Te was a relative of yours? It would have been great to spend all that donation money!"

Yan Xiaosu sighed.

"The school is not my family's property. I merely made use of an opportunity. Based on Wang Zheng's capability, he deserves to enter. Don't look for me for matters of special rights."

"Gee, impressive. His reputation as one of the four school princes surely holds up," Yan Xiaosu said while smiling.

"What's that?"

"Are you guys lagging? Our friend here, Little Yu, is the principal's grandson. He was Dawn Middle School's top student. He is not only tall but handsome; he has already been named a school prince."

"You take these kinds of lame things seriously." Xie Yuxin had an expression of indifference. He was never interested in these things.

"Tsk, I knew you would have this kind of response. It must be really easy to flirt with girls with a reputation like yours. Remember to introduce a few to us brothers next time, and organize more gatherings. Boss' and my futures are in your hands!"

"Xiao Su, don't drag me along with your wishes."

"D**n, you guys are all so upright and gentlemanly. What's college without flirting?"

Yan Xiaosu's mood was rather urgent. Opening Skylink, an ad popped up. "Oh, I'm counting on you two. I'm definitely going to be a bachelor for life. Ye Zisu has already been rated as the No. 1 freshman. If she can introduce one or two, they'd definitely be pretty good. Luckily, we're schoolmates with her."

Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin were very helpless. Although food and sex were basic needs, this fellow was too anxious. It seemed like Yue Jing had vanished from his life, and that was actually pretty good.

Wherever there were people, there were circles. School was a circle too. Ares College was one of the top three colleges on Earth, so it naturally attracted exceptional students from all over. A new place, a new battlefield. Those that were good naturally wanted to have a good fight in their own areas of strengths.

However, even amongst the exceptional, it was still easy to pick out those that were outstanding and those that were heaven's treasures.

Xie Yuxin, genetic evaluation of A, full marks. Note: Principal's grandson, son of a rich family, family has influence on both the education world and the military.

Masasi, from the Moon, genetic evaluation of A, full marks. Note: This person rejected an invitation from Atlan College, the best on the moon, to come to Earth.

Carl: From Mars, genetic evaluation of A, full marks. Note: Principal went to Mars three times for this person.

Masasi and Carl were the principal's ultimate weapons. He activated a considerable amount of connections and favors in order to get these two students. He had definitely offended Atlan College. This was the most classic way to poach.

While one of the top three colleges on Earth, it had been in a disadvantageous state in recent years in the competition for survival. Europe's Zeus Military College and the America's Apollo Military College were stably in first and second place. Gu Te had run out of options—instead of sitting and waiting, why not dig from stronger places?!

Only results could attract outstanding students. Gu Te did not want the mighty name of Ares Military College to fail under his watch.

Photos tell the truth. Amongst the three freshmen, appearance wise, Xie Yuxin definitely beat Masasi and Carl by a few levels. This also made Yan Xiaosu very proud—he could use Little Yu's name when he hit on girls.

"To think there are really so many lame people!"

"True, now's the era of speedy communications!"

"Is that it? It's not that fast, right? At least Wang Zheng has not gone up," Xie Yuxin said. He was rather interested in sizing Wang Zheng up. He had always felt that something was up with Wang Zheng, but the kid was very calm and he simply could find out.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. "Don't get me involved. Low profile, low profile."

"Hehe, sometimes you can't keep a low profile even if you want to."

"I plan to join the photography club, to capture beautiful life. What are your plans?"

"I don't mind. I haven't thought about it. Basically, I don't intend to waste my time," Xie Yuxin said.

"I'm afraid it depends on how things turn out. Xiao Fei wants me as her assistant."

"Doctor Xiao? Xiao Fei? Wait up!"

Yan Xiaosu swiped the window on his Skylink wildly. A photo of Xiao Fei surfaced.

"Boss, is this her?"

Wang Zheng nodded. Yan Xiaosu seemed very passionate.

"F***, f***, f***. I haven't even found my footing here, and you're already ahead. Teacher Xiao Fei is the top beauty in school. In a dark laboratory, one man and one woman, dry firewood and flames, teacher and student …"

Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin gave Yan Xiaosu a severe look of disdain at almost the same time. This fellow could associate anything with that thing. How desperate.

"Cough cough. However, I heard that this great beauty, Xiao Fei, is a little chili pepper. The students who have been done in by her are not just one or two. People say that she is not much older than us, so how are her brains so smart?"

"Oh, Teacher Xiao Fei's gene evaluation is S-grade, belonging to the classified range. Naturally, she is different from normal people like us," Xie Yuxin said. Grandfather had put in huge amounts of effort to make her stay that year, because at that time, the Aslan Empire had already extended their invitation.

"In the Milky Way, it's very rare for anyone to reject the Aslan Empire's invitation since it represents the most exquisite treatment and the best benefits. That's the world that belongs to elites.

"The Aslan Empire has the strictest admission requirements in the Milky Way Galaxy. For talents immigrate there, their family needs to possess three generations of talent. Only the most indispensable elites can count as just one generation. You can count with your fingers how many times that has happened in the past decade, and Xiao Fei actually rejected them. It was a big hoo-ha then. Guess what reason she gave?"

"I've heard about this before too. It's said that Aslan's chief of immigrations vomited blood three times!" Yan Xiaosu laughed.

"… can't be that it was too far, right?" Wang Zheng casually said.

Yan Xiaosu and Xie Yuxin look at Wang Zheng in a daze. "You two surely have the same vocabulary!"

This counted as a reason too … however, this was really something completely unexpected, as people would die for the opportunity she was given. Yet it was not unbelievable with Xiao Fei's special personality.

"This incident made the Solar System Alliance very proud and also raised the prestige of Ares College. No one can reach her level of popularity in our school. It's a pity that she's only willing to take in 30 students each year. We must thank Wang Zheng. Whenever there are big lectures, everyone can admire her elegance," Xie Yuxin said. "Grandfather said to me earlier: he has never seen Xiao Fei appreciate someone like this ever before. In Xiao Fei's eyes, everyone in her generation, other than Alan Tucker, is a piece of trash!"

Xie Yuxin observed Wang Zheng. He somehow felt like this kid had a secret. Something was up, but he could not figure out what it was.

After their short gathering, they all returned to their dorms. With the start of school, there were still plenty of orientation activities running and the three were interested in taking a look.

Returning to Physics Department's dorms, the three roommates were already there. Wang Zheng was also very happy to be able to get to make new friends.

"Yao Ailun, from Madagascar. I came for Doctor Xiao Fei. She will become the greatest physics scientist of our time!"

Yao Ailun was of average height, bespectacled, a little childish, and spoke with his head slightly lowered and slightly shy. But there was a fanaticism when he spoke of Xiao Fei.

"Chen Xiu, Chongshan City. Three big brothers, please take care of me!" he said and then bowed.

"D**n, how am I in the same dorm as you people? Yao Ailun, the only middle schooler on Earth to win the top prize of the Alliance Physics Discovery Competition. Chen Xiu, prodigy of fourteen years old, youngest in the whole college. D**n it, my name is Zhang Shan, you all can call me Big Shan!"

Big Shan was close to two meters tall, and he really did not look like someone who studied physics.

Yao Ailun adjusted his spectacles. "Zhang Shan, Professor Zheng Deyu's son, always been Professor Zhang Deyu's assistant. And Professor Zhang Deyu was also Professor Xiao Fei's college teacher. This year he was involved in the publishing of 'The God Particle's Movement in Space.' Although the honor belongs to Professor Zhang Deyu, it's been said on the outside that you had involvement in it too, and even offered important insights. Interesting!"

Upon mention of this, Yao Ailun's little eyes sparkled.

Chapter 19: Everyone's an Expert

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Chen Xiu scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face. "I'm actually quite dumb. Dr Xiao Fei had already independently researched space penetration theory by the time she was my age."

The three of them turned to face Wang Zheng simultaneously. Wang Zheng was shocked dizzy just from hearing the backgrounds of these three.

What is this place? I'm just here to mingle around until my transfer to the Mecha Department is approved.

Cough "My name is Wang Zheng. I'm from the capital and I'm no one special."

At this point, the three stared intensely at Wang Zheng before shouting in unison, "YOU ARE THAT WANG ZHENG?!!"

"Uh, is there a problem?"

The three looked at each other in dismay. "F**k, who would have thought that the most mysterious individual to be specially recruited by the academy would be in our dormitory!?"

"Elder Brother Wang Zheng, I heard that you are Teacher Xiao Fei's special assistant. In the future, you must give us more guidance," Chen Xiu said, with a face of adoration as he looked at Wang Zheng.

Student Wang started to sweat. He knew himself the best, but these three individuals in front of him were the real deal.

Zhang Shan attentively sized up Wang Zheng. "That's great. My father said that the Doctor had found a rare genius. Who would have thought that he would be in our dormitory? We now have the opportunity to spend the next four years interacting with each other!"

"Wang Zheng, my aim will be to surpass you. Watch out, I will definitely become the Doctor's assistant; that is my sole meaning in life!"

Yao Ailun's small eyes began to sparkle with brilliance.

Wang Zheng had nothing to say. What in the world was happening? It turned out that his dormitory was a gathering place for the special individuals of the Physics Department, yet all he wanted to was to just get this over with!

Wang Zheng suddenly had a feeling that his university life would not be so relaxed.

When three fanatical scientists gathered together, the topic of conversation spiralled towards the direction in which the scientific world was heading. Wang Zheng tactfully excused himself. Hell, Xiao Fei must have done this on purpose. No matter how she arranged it, he was a warrior that lived to pilot mechs; everything else was just a hobby.

The school was bustling with activity. The numerous students' eyes burned with the passion of youth and their ambitions. Wang Zheng was no different, but he felt like he was just a bystander. It was all Bonehead's fault; he had trained him to become like this.

After checking the day's training schedule in his email…. Granny's leg, that liar (Solon) was indeed very persistent. He had actually sent over a hundred emails! With the mass select function, all of those messages were sent to the junk folder!

Wang Zheng did not even read a single message before getting rid of all of them. He had not battled for a period of time and he felt an urge to do so. He turned around and rushed to Brothers Net Cafe.

Wang Zheng was still considered an old customer, so the boss, who cherished old customers, gave him a 20% discount.

Recently, Solon felt as though each day was a year, and his hair had almost all fallen out. He had previously written innumerable sincere emails with the sincerity he had when he was writing love letters in university! Yet the other party did not even spare him a single look.

After Skeleton had beaten Justin, Solon had already made up his mind. This was his future; he would stake everything on it! If he failed, he would have been a martyr.

But the problem was that this gambling chip had disappeared, so what could he do?

It was really a headache!

At this point, the assistant rushed in through the door, giving Solon a fright. As Solon prepared to scold him, he saw that the assistant's face was a red as a pig's blood. "Boss, he's appeared!"

"GOD, you've finally appeared. I've waited till the yellow lily has gone cold. Immediately carry out the plan, advertise it in every way possible!"

"Yes, Boss! Everyone has been on standby and is ready to do so!"

Even the workers outside were excited. Among CT's achievements, even these eternally low level workers had finally gotten a sense of hope. CT's welfare was extremely good, but who could withstand the long working hours with lowpay?!

CT was an extremely large company, so publicity and operations were separately managed. Once you entered it, the company demanded that you produce results. If not, you would have to face the consequences. What made things worse was that the Beginner Arena was the most unpredictable one among the lot.

The previous time where Skeleton triumphed over Justin had already reinvigorated the silent Beginner Arena. Kids were even worshipping him now! However, whenever Skeleton disappeared, it was usually for a period of a month. This break also led the kids to wait for his return anxiously. It was a good thing that there would be a great show on the first day of school.

"Boss, an update. Although we have yet to start, the number of viewers has already exceeded 10,000!"

"Excellent, continue onwards. Once he makes a selection, immediately take action!"

As Solon drummed his fingers against the table, his face was full of excitement. What in the world was Skeleton thinking of?

An individual like him should not lack money or fame. If it was just for fame, then he did not have to start at the beginner arena.

What was he thinking of?

What needed to be done to secure a long term partnership with him? This was a headache-inducing issue!

If Wang Zheng was here, he would have definitely shouted out just one word: MONEY!!!!!!

Sometimes, the answer is very simple.

Wang Zheng did not opt to go for 1v1 this time around; he opted for the group battle, 5v5. The last time he participated in one, he was just watching Xiao Su play, but this time he would be able to try it for himself.

Individual battles did not possess a large amount of skill to learn from. However, in group battles, there were many learning opportunities.

Entering matchmaking.

Wang Zheng's choice had caused the technicians to scramble hurriedly. Their preparations had to be changed. Who would have expected that he would have chosen to engage in a 5v5?

20 seconds later, matchmaking was complete.

Wang Zheng entered the team mode.

Teammates: "Big Sister Zhou and I," "Donkey Looking for Mule," "It's a Trap," "Raincloud Dancer".

"Hello, everyone, I am a girl. I might make mistakes, so please bear with me," spoke Raincloud Dancer. Although one could not see her looks, her voice was pleasant to hear,

"Haha, little sister, no worries, brother here is an expert. Leave your contact here so I can carry you in future!" said Donkey Finding Mule before opening up his video link. He was indeed slightly handsome. Tilting his face at a 30 degree angle, he even knew how to present his face at an appropriate angle! He seemed to be an expert at wooing girls!

"How are we going to fight?" It's a Trap asked.

"Let's just do as we please; this is not even a high level fight," Big Sister Zhou and I replied.

"Okay, as we please then. Wreck them!"

"F**k me, what is this? Why did we get matched up with military guys?"

The beginner arena also had military teams participating in it. However, for above average military teams, they would have to climb their way to the top from the beginner arena, to the bronze arena, then to the silver arena, and so on.

Although the other side also consisted of beginners, it was unfortunate that they were from the Black Tortoise Corps. This was a famous diamond-ranked army corps, so your average joe would not be able to join them!

"Hey, the opposing side has an individual with a 100% win rate."

"Hehe, coming to the beginner arena to stomp noobs; he must be careful not to get struck by lightning!"

"Kill him!"

"I love to break the hymen."[1]

Game loading… 10%… 50%… 100%…

Map: Norton Star Twisted Jungle

"The opposing side is full of professional soldiers, so be careful, everyone. Our only aim is to lose gracefully. F**k, Skeleton, do you have a mental problem? Why did you pick the Brittleskin!?" It's a Trap exclaimed.

"Screw it, a girl, a noob, the enemy is full of professionals; we are going to lose for sure. No need to be serious, just goof around," Big Sister Zhou and I replied indifferently. He activated his Demon Wolf Mark V and charged out without a second word.

"F**k, today has been full of useless people! I've lost the entire day! Now that school has started, why are there still so many kids playing around?!" groaned It's a Trap. Similarly, he rushed out with his Bata Type V.

The other two players also set off immediately after them, two to the top lane, two to the bottom lane. Only Wang Zheng went alone to the middle lane.

The mecha that spawned from the fort had already rushed out majestically. It was said that Norton Star had a gravity five times stronger than Earth's, which was also the case on this map.

However, Wang Zheng was not worried, as he had not discovered any enemies yet.

However, what the players didn't know was that this battle had a surprisingly large number of spectators! There were over 15,000 spectators watching, and the number of invitations to watch had exceeded 50,000!

Less than 5 minutes later, there was a system announcement:

Raincloud Dancer, destroyed!

Although she was a girl, the opponents did not know that. The moment she exposed herself, she was destroyed by the enemy's Hunter Type 3 with a headshot.

It's a Trap was also flabbergasted. He had reminded her a second too late and she was destroyed! Before he had the opportunity to react, the enemy's Bata Type V had already appeared, savagely slicing towards him with its titanium blade.

It's a Trap still had a few tricks up his sleeve, but the sniper hiding in the shadows had already fired another laser at him.

In a few breaths worth of time, another Hunter Type V rushed out to attack him. Three vs Two, he was done for; after all, It's a Trap was basically blind in one eye.

At the seventh minute, the red side had lost yet another mech. It's a Trap, destroyed!

Donkey Looking For Mule had nothing to say. "Everyone is a fraud! F**k! Your father doesn't care anymore! Killing one of them is enough for me!"

The top lane had three mecha, so the middle and bottom lanes would definitely only had one mech each. Big Sister Zhou and I along with Donkey Looking For Mule immediately increased their speed.

As expected, there was only one Wild Beast Type 3 defending! Would he even be able to defend?

The two in the protection of their mecha started to make preparations for their attack. However, this Wild Beast Type 3 was rather rude. He depended on the fort's fortifications to ward off attacks and did not care to do it properly. Paying attention to the battle fort and killing the Wild Beast Type 3 simultaneously did not seem realistic.

The three mecha on the top lane were retreating back to base at top speed. They were planning to carry out a blitzkrieg. If they didn't, they would really be annihilated! They would have to do it regardless of the effort it took.

While they were paying attention to the fort's intense battle, a Demon Wolf Type V rushed out.

Your granny! There's no one in the mid lane? Another trap!

"Skeleton, there is no one at mid, rush forward quickly! We cannot be beaten without having a single kill!" shouted Big Sister Zhou and I anxiously.

Yet what Wang Zheng really wanted to ask was if Big Sister Zhou was his sister or his girlfriend…

Top lane's Hunter Type 3 was not as fast and thus decided to cut through the middle lane. Demon Wolf and Bata, on the other hand, took the longer route from within the base to bottom lane.

Middle lane had a noob using a Brittleskin, so even though the Hunter Type 3 was an ambush-type mech, there was nothing to fear.

Wang Zheng did not rush in aggressively, as he could sense impending danger.

On the other hand, the fight at bottom lane had turned incredibly intense with large amounts of explosions and gunfire. Big Sister Zhou and I and Donkey Looking for Mule had been surrounded.

Although the two had the advantage in numbers, they were still destroyed.

Only Wang Zheng was left.

The four who had died did not think too much of the situation. After all, this was quite normal when encountering a trap, yet the problem was…

When the four quit, they had a shock. There were so many spectators! Were they all watching their competition?

Could it be that these people were sickos that derived pleasure from watching noobs get rolled?

Sister Zhou and I stared blankly … Skeleton?

Could that be THE Skeleton?

GOD!

At this point, It's a Trap could no longer stand it and shouted, "Why are you still delaying the fight!? Just surrender; don't waste time!"

He did not notice the number of viewers on the top right hand corner of the screen.

Bang

The enemy's Hunter Type 3 had been destroyed. He did not even notice where the Wargod No. 1 had come from. When he realized, it was already too late, as a titanium blade had lunged at him. He did not even have the opportunity to react.

"Hey, what's the situation? Old Hat has been destroyed by a Wargod No 1."

"This guy might be a sockpuppet. Be careful, everyone!"

"Definitely. So what if he's a diamond player? Wreck him, A!"

Four mecha rushed toward the red side's fort. Hunter was in charge of scouting, so he rushed forward at full speed. However, he did not notice even a shadow of the enemy. The rest had started to surround the fort; winning was just a matter of time.

Wang Zheng silently waited for the opportunity to strike, but the formation of the four mecha was extremely tight. So long as one was attacked, the other three would immediately be able to retaliate.

The four mecha began their assault. Explosions and ash riddled the air. At this rate, the fort would not be able to hold on any longer.

Time was slowly running out.

There was no way to salvage this. If an expert were to use a high level mech, there would still be a chance of victory, as the piloting ability and reaction time of these individuals were not high. However, the Wargod No. 1 was not capable of this; it would not be able to resist such an onslaught.

Could it be that the legend would end here?

Solon was about to burst out in tears. Granny's leg, he could have just fought a 1v1! Why a group battle!? Did he not know that the rivers were filled with vicious traps?

It was all over. Although a loss did not matter, the players' interest in Skeleton would dwindle, meaning Solon's future plans were meaningless.

Why in world is this happening!

Wang Zheng's Wargod No. 1 continued to hide in cover, silently waiting…

However, looking at humans in general, when one neared success, they would inevitably slack off, especially if one was in an extremely dominating position.

At this point in time, Old Hat, the one who had been previously destroyed, excitedly shouted out over the communication channel, "Brothers! Be careful, that Brittleskin is Skeleton. He is definitely hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity to strike. Don't be complacent; when we win this battle, we will be famous!"

F**k, this is why the opponent's ID seemed so familiar. It was actually Skeleton! Didn't he only play 1v1? We've struck a gold mine!

The four enemies who had initially slacked off immediately snapped to attention. They renewed their assault on the fort with greater effort and watched their surroundings more vigilantly.

Wang Zheng's four teammates sighed in sadness. If they had known this earlier, they would not have fought so recklessly. Hell, as of now, not even a god could save them.

———————————–

[1](Direct TL, meaning is actually to break his winning streak)

Chapter 20: Godly Pentakill!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Pity, he's been found out. There goes the only chance," Ma Xiao said sympathetically. The teammates around him also shook their heads.

It was almost impossible now for the opponent to not take his presence seriously. Now that the opponents were paying full attention, the chances of victory were almost zero.

"Justin, in a situation like this, how many do you think could you kill?" Ma Xiao asked. Justin was also watching while he was on his Skylink.

"Using Brittleskin? Two at most. No chance of killing more. But if I were using my own superior mech, there would be a forty percent chance of victory."

"C'mon, you're treating them as if they're idiots. They just need to stick together and play shamelessly. Still, there's no chance because time is running out!"

Ma Xiao laughed. Victory came either by fully eliminating the enemy team, or by destroying the enemy's fort.

And now the red team's fort was in a precarious state. Time was most precious.

Having uncovered Skeleton's identity, the opponents were not going to scatter and allow him the opportunity to sneak attack.

Surely enough, the Wargod No. 1 could not hide anymore; he had to move.

But movement meant death.

Under everyone's eyes, the Wargod No. 1 actually revealed his position immediately, rushing towards the four huddled mecha.

GOD, what was this???

At this moment, every staff member in the CT office stood up. Solon clenched his fist; he no longer had any paths of return!

The stats for this battle kept rising in a straight line. Most frighteningly, through word of mouth, more and more people gushed in. They were all here to witness Skeleton playing Brittleskin exceptionally well.

But the circumstances definitely left everyone feeling despair.

Four against one. The fort in danger. A desperate sprint. It was the final showdown!

Although the Wargod No. 1 was hiding very close to the four mecha, it was still 50 meters away, but this was a fatal 50 meters. Two Demon Wolf Type V's, one Bata Type V, and one Beast Type III against a suddenly rushing opponent. Their laser guns took aim at the same time.

Hong hong long long …

Light radiated in all directions.

The Wargod No. 1 rushed towards his opponents like a whirlwind. Everyone's mouths were agape … what was this speed???

Wang Zheng pushed the throttle to the maximum and accelerated from inside the cockpit. Under the pilot's control, the Wargod No. 1 let out a thunderous sound. With this high-speed advance, lasers brushed past the mech narrowly.

The lasers shot by the four mecha were either blocked by trees or dodged. Within an instant, the Wargod No. 1 pulled within the range of 20 meters.

The second bombardment of lasers was executed in close proximity.

Solon and company felt suffocated. This time there was no cover anymore.

At this moment, the straight-moving Wargod No. 1 pulled off an Arched Slide Step, a left arc … Lord!

Right arc!

The double arcs closed the distance between them immediately!

In an instant, he was within close quarters combat range. The four, seemingly also wanting to please the crowd, were not startled at all. The Beast Type III immediately advanced, using his body as a meat shield. Even if Wargod No. 1 had godly prowess, he probably didn't have much energy left after such a movement. The Bata Type III followed up while both Demon Wolf mecha flanked. Inescapable!

At this moment, the A.I. was eating through the fort's last line of defense. Given the current situation, it would only hold up for at most 20 seconds. Was 20 seconds enough to reverse the outcome dictated by the heavens?

Ma Xiao shrugged helplessly. It was a pity that Skeleton would die so terribly after demonstrating a technique like consecutive Arced Slide Steps. At their level, losing itself was not scary—it was more important to find out how one lost.

Hong …

The Beast Type III … was sent flying?

The Wargod No. 1 sprang out from the gap in an instant, his titanium knife breaking through. The Bata Type II that followed completely had no idea what had happened to the Beast mech. The opponent suddenly appeared in front of his eyes right after.

The alloy blade cut into the cockpit. Sparks were flying everywhere, but in this period of at least one second, there was not enough time to pull out the titanium knife anymore.

Both Demon Wolf Type V mecha were already assaulting.

DOUBLE KILL!

The Bata exploded, but the Bata player still revealed a bright smile. Someone had to be sacrificed anyway.

However, what surprised everyone was that the Wargod No. 1 suddenly pulled back and the mech swayed strongly. It was as if the two Demon Wolf mecha had made a mistake and missed. Their two titanium blades criss crossed and fell on each other instead of on their target.

At this moment, there was absolutely no time to activate energy shields. Both Demon Wolf Type V players watched as their own teammate stabbed towards themselves. They wanted to activate their energy shields, but their fingers pressed the buttons a tenth of a second too late. So close yet so far!

Hong …

TRIPLE KILL!

The system hyped!

… QUADRA KILL!

The system announced!

At this time, the battle fort only had a bit of defense left. The Wargod No. 1 instantly drew his own titanium knife, landing on the Beast Type III with a backflip. Norton Star's two suns were shining brightly at this time, causing the titanium knife to dazzle blindingly as it stabbed towards the Beast Type III's head!

Hong …

PENTA KILL! (Five kills)

Team kill!

Red Team WIN!

Global notification. Congratulations, Skeleton. Pentakill. Reward of one hundred points and one Warrior's Medal. Keep it up!

The system sounded incomparably fierce and solemn, and there was utter silence everywhere.

In CT's work hall, all of the staff members were stunned. What kind of operation was this?

This was the rhythm of a god!

Solon's hand trembled like a pendulum. His cigarette had already burnt his finger, but he was not aware of it. All of the staff members looked towards Solon with expressions of worship. This director on the verge of transfer had actually made a judgment of godly accuracy.

Solon waved his hand, calmly indicating for everyone to continue working. Legend has it that everyone heard the chairman burst into tears behind his office's locked door.

The spectator zone was already boiling at this time. Even in the final ten seconds, people were still coming in. Of course, some had come to watch the myth of Skeleton extinguish, but they instead saw the godlike operation.

In CT, only a mech that was at least 80% destroyed counted as a kill. A triple kill was already incredible. A Pentakill was a miracle.

Pentakill under extreme conditions!

Godly operation!

Godly knowledge!

Godly rhythm!

After the previous slaughter of Justin, Skeleton had performed yet another miracle.

Wang Zheng removed his touch sensors and quietly reminisced the battle. His decision was rather accurate. He expected the opponent to be relaxed; not that the enemies would be completed flawed, but rather relaxed due to the absolute confidence they would have. With that kind of mentality, the opponents' shooting would only be about seventy to eighty percent serious. Their formation was also completely within his expectations. Foresight in battle was of utmost importance.

Seeing that his own operations were passable against noobs, Wang Zheng was not at all complacent. He knew that he was still in CT's lowest levels, yet this sort of battle definitely taught him many lessons.

Nimble footwork was also extremely important. In random situations, one had to depend entirely on instincts. If he had insisted on holding on to the titanium knife, the outcome could have been disastrous.

Fortunately, there were no weapons under Bonehead's training. Every part of the body was a weapon, and the opponents' weapons were, even more so, weapons, so why not use them?

There was a warmth in his chest, it was quite a comfortable feeling. This indicated that the Rubik's Cube also approved of his realization. He did not battle merely in large amounts—quality and proper reflection was more important.

Student Wang was a good kid who loved learning.

Wang Zheng finished off his drink before leaving. He could not waste the boss' act of sincerity.

The CT forums in Asia were already exploding. Although the battle had ended, the mood of the players online was still fervent. Some battles were worth reminiscing.

Their blood was still burning.

When the replay of the battle was released, the forums erupted into discussions that were led by the experienced players. They were trying to compete with the official sources to release a quicker analysis.

There truly existed crouching tigers and hidden dragons amongst the newbies!

Most of the match was almost completely neglected by everyone. The last half a minute was the essence of the essence.

The legendary penta kill, and it was a penta kill by a Wargod No. 1.

Regardless of what level, what equipment, and what situation, anyone who did a penta kill would be one to watch, even more so when it occurred during such a counterattack.

"This kid is too sick!" Justin was also reviewing the replay and was already at the stage of awe. "He purposely waited until the fort was about to fall before he acted!"

Ma Xiao was also watching. It was not necessary for them to analyse, but the more they watched, the more shocked they became. They were definitely overlooking many details in their current state.

"Hiding in wait like a poisonous snake, such endurance!"

"Oh, no matter who it was, they would think that victory was within their grasp. This fellow's close quarters combat skill is absolutely first class. Oh, I really can't wait for him to enter our world already."

Justin and Ma Xiao looked at each other before turning off the video. This person was bound to enter their world, and then there could be a bloody revolution.

Relax?

How?

The video analysis was released.

The dodge at the start had already become a classic, but the four opponents still had an eighty percent chance at victory. However, when Beast Type III lose his defensive position, it was fatal. In the team fight, this had no use whatsoever. The rush was too aggressive; they were thinking that the opponent would not dodge, and they wanted to overthrow the opponent immediately. But they did not expect that the Wargod No. 1 would fly so stably

The task seemed simple. Although the Wargod No. 1 was faced with a big assault, from start to end, he did not lose his centeredness.

The Bata Type V was a completely tragedy. Its only purpose was to keep Skeleton's knife stuck, and there was no room for the two Demon Wolf mecha to complain. In an instant, the Wargod No. 1 made continuous displacements, and while it appeared to not move, it completely shook the centeredness of the two Demon Wolf mecha. Their attacks were crooked, and the Wargod No. 1's subsequent operation was divine.

当战神一号带着光芒干掉狂兽的时候,他已经成神!

When the Wargod No. 1 brought the light and killed the Beast, he had already become a god!

This was the consensus of all the players viewing.

This was a flawless battle!

Skeleton godly penta kill!

Master of battle techniques, master of control. A new generation of a Wargod was rising!

Perhaps the novice zone had really been dull for too long. When a blockbuster like this happened, a strong chain reaction started.

A review usually maintained high levels of attention for about ten minutes, after which it would decline rapidly with time. But not this review. The increasing speed had already frightened staff.

This was not your ordinary battle; it should not even occur by chance! Most frighteningly, every viewing would uncover new discoveries, more things that had previously been overlooked.

The opponents were considered pretty good. The battle techniques and potential of the newbie squad trained by Team Black Tortoise was certainly outstanding. No one would believe that a team of such caliber was penta killed.

Chapter 21: Dormitory 007

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

In the office, a fully concentrated Solon began to write sincere emails to all of the ranked players. If a hundred emails were not enough, he would write a thousand!

Wang Zheng had just left Brothers Net Cafe when his Skylink began to ring incessantly.

It was Ye Zisu.

"What's up, Zisu?"

"I hope your dormitory isn't too shabby, but on behalf of my dormitory roommates, I would like to invite you to join us for a gathering!"

Ye Zisu seemed pretty embarrassed. It seemed as though she was being coerced into doing so.

Wang Zheng paused to consider the offer. "Today's girls were pretty enthusiastic," he thought to himself, before replying, "Your offer is pretty enticing."

"Alright, then it's settled. I will be there this weekend to organize this."

After saying so, she hung up the Skylink call, yet in the background, sounds of excitement coming from numerous girls could be heard.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. He could feel the callings of a university life from this invitation.

这方面王同学还是比较淡定的,偶尔也会想起那可爱的身影,应该已经远在万万里之外了.

With regards to this aspect, Student Wang was pretty cool about it. Having such adorable thoughts was something he rarely had nowadays.

At night, the dormitory was ablaze with chatter, a common occurrence.

Firstly, they had to decide who would serve as the dormitory head. Yao Ailun gently adjusted his spectacles and said, "In the future, we will all become brothers in arms. Naturally, the dormitory head will have to be the most capable individual. I am a meticulous individual, and with regards to lesson curriculum and information gathering, I am an expert."

A glimmer of light could be seen in Yao Ailun's eyes.

Zhang Shan gave a slight smile. "I was my intermediate school's MMA champion. I will ensure everyone's safety!"

Similarly, Chen Xiu bashfully said, "I'm the youngest here and hope to serve the rest of you."

The three of them then looked in Wang Zheng's direction. Wang Zheng was sincerely disinterested in this competition for the role of dormitory head.

"Wang Zheng, although you might hail from the capital, this alone is not a legitimate reason for you to become the dormitory head," spoke Yao Ailun. Wang Zheng was a student that was specially admitted into the academy. Furthermore, he was the Doctor's personal assistant. He could be considered an individual with significant "influence."

Coughs "I have no strong points so as to speak. However, what I would like to say is that for this weekend, the Mecha Department's girls would like to have a friendly gathering. Are you interested?" Wang Zheng asked.

Zhang Shan's eyebrows creased. "The Mecha Department? Do you intend to feed us to dinosaurs?!"

Yao Ailun laughed mischievously. "Being uncultured is truly frightening. The girls from the Mecha Department might not necessarily be pilots. Wang Zheng, are they beauties? Don't throw us into the fire!"

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment…. If all the girls were of the same caliber as Ye Zisu…. "I have not met these girls personally before, but they ought to be beauties. One of them was known as the school's flower in my previous school."

The three of them then looked at each other momentarily. Zhang Shan suddenly reached out to grab Wang Zheng. "Even if you're a tyrant, it's fine! I strongly recommend Wang Zheng to serve as our dormitory head! In the future, we three brothers will rely on you!"

"Ah, a school flower? It's my favourite kind of flower," Yao Ailun said as he gracefully wiped his spectacles, his eyes full of vigor."

"But… what about me?" a pitiful Chen Xiu said as he pointed at himself. Sometimes, being the youngest was not an advantage.

"Little Xiu, don't be anxious. We will take up and share your burden, so rest assured!" Zhang Shan said as he patted Chen Xiu vigorously, almost knocking him to the floor.

Thus, Student Wang was chosen to be the dormitory head. Sometimes, the reasons men come up with are nonsensical. However, Wang Zheng had a feeling that if Ye Zisu's friends were indeed dinosaurs, these chaps would definitely have him overthrown.

And this was how Ares College's first day of chatter had unfolded. Wang Zheng was a good listener and these three had interesting backgrounds. Zhang Shan had chosen the Physics Department over the Mecha Department, the exact opposite of what Wang Zheng would have chosen. There were indeed people from all sorts of background here!

To Zhang Shan, physical exercise was just a hobby that was incomparable to the greatness of the scientific realm. Developing the mind was a never-ending journey.

Just by looking at his large frame, one could not see at first glance that he was indeed an intelligent and refined modern youth.

However, in Wang Zheng's case, he was mulling over how he could quickly get rid of his attachment to the Physics Department and return to the embrace of the Mecha Department! That day would come eventually!

Despite Wang Zheng going to sleep with these lovely thoughts in his head, that night, he had a nightmare. He did not dream of Bonehead. No. It was worse. Xiao Fei was using his face to sharpen a sword[1]…

"Boy, while you live, your body belongs to me. When you die, your soul will belong to me. No matter how vast and wide the universe might be, you will always be a part of the Physics Department…"

In his dreams, Wang Zheng repeatedly reassured himself that this was only a dream, and that it will all be over once he awakens.

As the first rays of light lit up the sky, Wang Zheng opened his eyes. Last night, the other three had thoroughly talked about all of the beauties they could conquer under the cosmos[2]. It seemed that even those of the Physics Department were extremely passionate about such matters.

However, Wang Zheng was not the sole one to wake up early. Zhang Shan's bed, the one opposite his, was already empty. When Wang Zheng arrived at the gym court, he understood. He was not the only early bird; there were already numerous individuals carrying out their own forms of morning exercise. Zhang Shan's size was too eye-catching. He was only wearing a short sleeved sweatshirt, so one could see the muscles rippling explosively underneath as he did his single-armed chin ups. He looked extremely relaxed as he executed his chin ups smoothly.

Without paying any attention to the stares of those around him, Zhang Shan leaped to the ground with a single somersault. If there were any girls around, they would surely scream in excitement.

Seeing Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan was slightly surprised. "I did not expect you to have the habit of training in the morning."

Wang Zheng gave him a smile and replied, "My aim is to be a mech pilot after all. I have to keep on training."

Zhang Shan looked at Student Wang's "small" physique. "Looking at your body size, I think you should just give up. You might still have a chance to enter the Officer's Department. A mech pilot would suffer a large burden on the body and thus not everyone is eligible. This is why the Earth's forces are insufficient. You should instead focus on your strengths and develop them."

Wang Zheng noncommittally replied, "Your body's toughness and flexibility is excellent, yet you're wasting your talent by not being a mech pilot. "

Zhang Shan laughed loudly. He now saw Wang Zheng in a different light. Wang Zheng did not mention his muscles but rather the flexibility of his body as though he was trying to hint at something.

"Do you want to compete?" Zhang Shan asked without thinking.

Wang Zheng waved his hands. "I think you should continue training. If the opportunity arises, we will exchange pointers."

Wang Zheng's first step was to cultivate the first level of his breathing art. The best effects were produced when this was done facing the morning sun. However, this was not taught by Bonehead but rather his father. This breathing technique allowed him to be one with the heavens. A newborn fetus is able to absorb the Heaven and Earth spiritual qi, but once one grows older, they will be less and less able to do so. Thus, this breathing technique allowed one to condition themselves to achieve such a state and absorb the qi. Wang Zheng had previously thought that this was a load of nonsense, but after cultivating the first level of the art, he had felt that it seemed slightly reasonable.

He sat down facing the morning son after finding an empty space. The first level of the breathing technique began to slowly circulate within his body.

On the outside, it seemed as though the first level of the breathing art's operation was more difficult than the Rubik's Cube. However, the effects were slightly superior. Wang Zheng understood that the reason his father had tricked him into learning it was not ill-intentioned. Yet if he had not encountered the Rubik's Cube, perhaps he might not have had this opportunity to develop.

After the qi finished circulating around his body, Wang Zheng felt utterly refreshed and reinvigorated. The morning sun's energy had left his body by now. Although the vast majority of it had returned back to nature, a trace amount still remained inside Wang Zheng's body.

"Wang Zheng, are you actually part of an evil cult?"

A delicate, smiling-faced Ye Zisu entered his field of vision. When did she arrive?

Wang Zheng stood up and blinked his eyes. "I was praying for my luck to improve, to enter the Mecha Department, and for us to become classmates again. That would be the dawn of a better era."

Ye Zisu clicked her tongue. "You're not as simple as I thought; you're making me the butt of a joke."

As the two laughed and chatted, they did not notice that the attention of the surrounding people was focused on them. When Ye Zisu entered the school, she was the center of attention. Her profile picture on Ares College's website placed her in the top 10 of the most popular individuals. Furthermore, she was a beauty and was OMG's little princess.

"Who is that shifty-looking individual? He dares to stand next to Ye Zisu and chat with her for almost 30 minutes!"

"I don't recognize him, but he should also be a student. I have never heard of him."

"F**k, the wolves are numerous and the meat is limited[3]; we will have to do something."

As there was an innumerable amount of senior students, the new male students had to give a 120% to show off their fighting spirit.

There weren't many girls who liked to exercise in the morning. Ye Zisu was definitely the crane in a flock of chicken[4]. Wearing a white T- shirt and azure hotpants, coupled with her white sports shoes, she was the very definition of an unparalleled beautiful youth. Her looks had excited the hormones of numerous male students as they stared at her.

"Wang Zheng, are you going to introduce me? Who might this be?"

He had not noticed that Zhang Shan had walked over.

"This is my classmate from Dawn Middle School, Ye Zisu, also known as Beauty Ye."

Before Wang Zheng could finish his introduction, Zhang Shan had already stretched his hand out towards Ye Zisu. "Name's Zhang Shan, Wang Zheng's dormitory roommate. If anyone bothers you in the future, do not hesitate to find me."

Ye Zisu raised her hand and shook his hand lightly. "I have been looking forward to meeting you for some time. Dormitory 007 of the Physics Department is the pride of our school."

"Hehe, well, somewhat. Actually, if you knew me better, you would already know that I am a person full of good points."

Wang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. This brother of his was indeed slightly shameless. He had thought that those from the Physics Department were more low profile. However, contrary to what he thought, Zhang Shan even took the initiative to stand out.

Zhang Shan hurriedly gave Wang Zheng a wink and then secretly gave him a thumbs up. This situation was one of a kind, so he could not wait for the upcoming gathering.

Wang Zheng helplessly shrugged his shoulders. It looked like they would not overthrow him from his position of dormitory head any time soon.

"Does our dormitory have such a name?" Wang Zheng asked.

Ye Zisu looked at Wang Zheng in surprise. Zhang Shan, who was also standing at the side, looked at Wang Zheng as though he was an alien.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I want to faint[5]. I don't understand why Doctor Xiao Fei would hold you in such high regard. The Physics Department's 007's four special individuals, along with Masasi and Carl, are considered the pride of the school for this year. Under my guidance, the Ares College will definitely achieve new heights!"

Zhang Shan was completely unashamed.

Wang Zheng scratched his nose. He had always struggled in poverty, so he didn't understand Zhang Shan's lofty ambitions and aspirations.

"Excellent, the Physics Department will be left in your hands. I will tell Dr. Xiao Fei to let you replace me as her assistant."

Zhang Shan was excited. Why would he not be satisfied with this?

A shocked Ye Zisu stood there, mouth agape. Although she knew that Wang Zheng loved mecha, she did not expect such a situation to occur. Ares College's sole specialty was Xiao Fei's space physics research. She was the Milky Way's pinnacle expert in this field. The other departments may be top tier on Earth, but compared to the rest of the galaxy? They could not even hold a candle to them.

"Brother, thank you for giving me face, I will continue to strive harder!" Zhang Shan heavily patted Wang Zheng's back.

Wang Zheng nonchalantly nodded his head. To him, being able to be rid of Xiao Fei was a brilliant thing. He had always told himself that Xiao Fei was nothing but trouble.

Zhang Shan's eyes shone with curiosity. He had spared no force when he patted Wang Zheng's back, but he did not even budge. In fact, he felt an extremely strong recoiling force from his shoulders.

He clicked his tongue. There was meaning to this now. This year's batch of students from Ares College still contained some crouching tigers and hidden dragons[6].
