Not long after, another two women and a man walked towards Qin Yue.
"Hello, Qin Yue. We are Sister Ling Ru's friends. My Name is Wang Jun but everyone calls me Cold Face or Junzi. From now on, since we are all friends. You can also call me that."
Qin Yue looked at him and shook his hand with a smile. True to his nickname, he was expressionless the entire time.
"Hello, my name is Tang Lin. You can call me Xiao Lin."
"Hello Handsome, my name is Li Yanyan. You can call me Xiao Yan, or just Yan."
Qin Yue shook hands with them one by one and greeted them. From their introductions, he also roughly understood their temperaments.
Wang Jun called himself a cold face and rarely spoke. He seemed to always be in a daze and was a loner.
As for Tang Lin, she had a bun on her head and seemed like a very shy girl.
On the contrary, Li Yanyan was the type of girl who was, cheerful, careless, and carefree. A complete opposite from Tang Lin.
As for Ling Ru, who spoke to her in the beginning, Qin Yue had yet to understand her.
Just as the few of them finished their introductions, the careless Li Yanyan spoke.
"Little Brother Qin Yue, when we have the chance to go out to the desolate star for training, let's form a squad together. What do you think?"
Qin Yue did not reply so she hurriedly added on,
"We're all very strong. If we form a squad, we'll have a high chance of survival if we encounter Alien Beasts or other hostile forces."
No matter where they were, there was a law that applied everywhere. Only the strong survived. Naturally, that meant the strongest would band together to improve their chances.
Qin Yue was clear about the purpose and utility of their friendship.
However, he did not dislike them. After all, they were not bad-hearted so Qin Yue had a good impression of them
Without much hesitation, Qin Yue nodded and agreed, "If there's a chance, I have no problem with that."
At that moment, an old man dressed in white with a white beard strolled into the classroom.
Lin Ru, who stood beside Qin Yue, hissed coldly when they saw the old man. Then, they immediately returned to their seats, their eyes filled with a mixture of respect and fear.
Just when Qin Yue had wondered why they were so afraid, the old man gently knocked on the table and spoke.
"Students, it's time for class. Please sit down!"
The old man's voice was not loud, but his words seemed to penetrate straight into people's souls which forced them to obey his commands.
Even Qin Yue, who sat at the corner, subconsciously listened to the old man's words and shut his mouth.
At that moment, Qin Yue understood...
'The man is strong! That old man was definitely someone with very strong Mental Strength.'
"I am Wang Yangming, the instructor for you brats.
"I don't want to say anything more than necessary. As for your names, if any of you lasts until graduation, perhaps I will remember them."
As the sound of his voice faded, the old man's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Before class starts, as my students, remember these words!"
"This world... isn't peaceful. There are all kinds of federations, clans, and civil wars happening everywhere.
"The war between humans and Alien Beasts has lasted for tens of thousands of years!
"As for you 'geniuses', all you need to do is to live on and grow stronger with each fight!"
As he spoke, the old man's gaze paused on Qin Yue for a few seconds.
'33 points of mental strength, and there are no signs of an Alien Beast Core cultivating within him. He really is a genius,' Wang Yangming thought to himself.
The old man had formed an impression of Qin Yue after he watched his entrance trial. After all, among his latest batch of geniuses, he could be considered to be the strongest, and also the most talented.
When Qin Yue saw the old man staring at him, he subconsciously shivered.
At the same time, he could not help but have a strange feeling in his heart. It was as if the old man's eyes could see through him.
However, Qin Yue did not care. As long as the Raffle System was not exposed, he did not have anything to hide.
"I'm sorry," the old man said again after he looked away.
"These books, in addition to your class schedules, are very important to you. Please read up and understand them."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the dark desk in front of Qin Yue suddenly opened up. More than ten thick books appeared.
Qin Yue felt as if he had opened the door to a new world when he saw the names of the books in front of him. He started to read the names of these books curiously.
"Basic Mecha Operating System Programming", "The Mechtionary: The Complete Source Code of the Mecha Operating System", "Introduction to Mecha Maintenance", "100,000 Examples of Mecha Failures".
"Weapon System Modification", "Mecha Power System Modification Case", "An Illustrated Guide to Identifying Alien Beasts".
After casually flipping through the books on mecha maintenance, Qin Yue immediately lost interest. These were too simple for someone like him who had mastered Godly Mecha Maintenance.
Among those books, he was slightly more interested in the books on the topic of modification of mecha weapons, as well as improving mecha power levels.
What caught his eye the most was the book about identifying Alien Beasts.
"I'll explain these books to you later. Today's first lesson is to understand the uses of the Alien Beast Core!"
As soon as Wang Yangming spoke, many people in the classroom hurriedly closed the books in their hands and listened attentively, Qin Yue included.
It was not for any other reason other than because they did not understand the topic at all. They did not even know what the Alien Beast Core was used for.
"The Alien Beast Core is something that contains a tremendous amount of energy.
"Ten thousand years ago, after thousands of years of research, the Alien Beast Core finally became the core component in piloting a mecha. It was also an indispensable prerequisite for the cultivation of Mental Strength.
"According to the level of all the mecha, their driving energy source is the core of the beast of various levels.
"In addition to allowing us to pilot the Mecha, the Alien Beast Core also contains a small amount of energy, which can be used for us to meditate and increase our Mental Strength."
The term 'Alien Beast' was just a generalized term. There were countless races of beasts, so they had all sorts of names.
However, humans divided them into different levels regardless, just like the mechas.
The first four levels were: Disaster, Plague, Catastrophe, and Obliterate. These were the four major levels for more commonly encountered beasts.
Beasts were born from livestock, and the lowest level of strength was at the Disaster level.
In other words, a newborn Alien Beast was equipped with the strength of a Bodyguard class Mecha.
As for the last three levels of Alien Beasts, they were divided into Commander, Calamity, and Extinction!
These three types of Alien Beasts were extremely powerful.
Any existence of a beast at that level on a planet inhabited by humans could easily wipe the entire population.
"Is this the world that I couldn't understand before?"
"It really is a world where danger and excitement go hand in hand!"
Qin Yue only felt that this ten-minute lesson seemed to have opened the door to a new world for him so that he wouldn't be filled with fear towards the unknown.
Just as Qin Yue turned his head slightly.
She suddenly saw Ling Ru and the others in a daze with their chins propped up. It was as if they were not interested in this knowledge.
Qin Yue estimated that they had a good family background and had already learned of those beasts before they entered the mecha academy.
"It seems like my understanding of this new world is still very shallow!"
Qin Yue could not help but make up his mind. He must speed up his understanding of this world and catch up with those true geniuses in every aspect as soon as possible!
