Within the mech academy.
Lin Mu Nian was lost in thought, while the little rabbit secretly crouched in her desk drawer. Looking at her host's face, which was so beautiful it could induce a trance, the little rabbit silently pondered whether her host was in the least bit worried.
This class was mech class.
It required testing everyone's psychic strength to select suitable mechs.
The Central Planet, being the heart of the human race, naturally had students here who were carefully selected from each star system. Their psychic strength was at least S-class!
And the simulated mechs available for selection here were the entire mech inventory of the Central Planet.
As long as their psychic strength could control them, even divine-grade mechs.
They could obtain them and make them their own combat mechs!
There were still twenty to thirty people ahead of Lin Mu Nian. They walked up to the instrument and attempted to control the simulated mechs before them. Most of them managed to achieve a satisfactory result from the teachers and select a decent mech.
As the available mechs dwindled, the remaining students grew somewhat anxious.
"The mechs we can choose from are getting fewer and fewer..."
"What do we do? If the powerful mechs are all taken, our subsequent operation classes will be troublesome!"
"Also, I've inquired from the senior students. I heard that once a mech is chosen, it becomes your exclusive mech within the academy. Unless there are special circumstances, it absolutely cannot be replaced."
"So, this mech will most likely accompany my entire academy life. How can I choose a mech that isn't good enough?"
Precisely because the mechs, once chosen, could not be replaced, these students were practically giving it their all.
And because today was the grand day for selecting mechs, no one noticed that a new person, Lin Mu Nian, had appeared in the classroom.
She wore a shielding device that could conceal her identity, and others couldn't sense her beastly aura.
At most, they thought a new unfamiliar girl had joined the academy. Furthermore, her face had been altered by the shielding device. In the eyes of these students, this newcomer looked unremarkable, not particularly beautiful, and they wouldn't pay her much attention.
Only the teacher on the podium cast a cautious glance at Lin Mu Nian.
Then immediately retracted his gaze.
He dared not look any further.
The dean had said that this girl must not have her true identity discovered by anyone else.
"You can come up."
Lin Mu Nian nodded, picked up the rabbit from the drawer, and then walked onto the podium.
She looked up at the psychic strength testing instrument before her. Without any hesitation, she poured her own psychic strength into it and began to attempt to control the virtual mech.
The little rabbit snuggled in Lin Mu Nian's arms, not worried in the slightest about Lin Mu Nian's psychic strength being too weak.
It understood its host the best.
Although the host appeared weak, it was because her host was a female beast in this world, so her superficial combat power was not strong, appearing exceptionally fragile.
But—if it came to psychic strength, the little system even suspected that the host's psychic strength was on par with that top-tier pervert, Ling Qian He.
One must know that the host was the reincarnation of that peerless genius female scientist of the human race!
And that genius was the one who created the Master, and who even exchanged her life for the continuation of the human race. Such an incredibly talented and extraordinary figure, no matter what, could not have ordinary psychic strength.
As the host's reincarnation, she was naturally bound to be extremely powerful!
With this thought in mind, the little rabbit slowly nodded. Its three-lobed mouth moved, suddenly anticipating what kind of result the host would produce.
Lin Mu Nian walked forward directly. She put on the testing device, which looked like a pair of glasses. She placed it on the bridge of her nose, and immediately, a stereoscopic holographic image appeared before her eyes.
Different mechs flashed before her. She had to try and control these mechs.
However—
Lin Mu Nian discovered that compared to the previous students who were sweating profusely, manipulating these mechs was almost effortless for her. These mechs completely obeyed her commands; she could operate them however she wished.
Only at the very end was there a small, sleek, silver-white mech, quietly waiting there.
This mech had smooth lines and an extremely exquisite appearance, being a full circle smaller than the other mechs.
Lin Mu Nian thought that perhaps because of this, other students felt this mech wasn't imposing enough, so they left it for last.
She used her psychic energy to approach this mech.
Then, in an instant, a surge of silver-white strange fire appeared before her eyes!
That silver-white strange fire was fierce and aggressive, almost burning fiercely above this mech, blocking her approach.
Lin Mu Nian snorted lightly but without any hesitation, she took a large step forward.
Then the flames gradually extinguished.
She reached out and touched this mech.
Previously, the little system had given her a medical mech, but there was a significant difference between a medical mech and a combat mech. At least, a medical mech would never exert such a powerful oppressive force on her.
She extended her hand, and a shimmering light passed over the silver mech, then it returned to tranquility.
However, Lin Mu Nian had a certain thought in her heart; she could arbitrarily command this mech!
She raised her head. This mech had her psychic imprint placed upon it.
And the instrument she was wearing also displayed the shadow of that mech, clearly indicating that this mech had soul-bond recognition!
...
All the students below, seeing the silver-white mech appearing on the testing instrument she wore, gasped in unison.
"How is that possible?"
"That mech, wasn't it fundamentally impossible for us to select it?"
"That is... Destiny!"
"That is the Destiny that has never been chosen since the opening of the mech academy!"
"It's actually Destiny... How is that possible? Did you see Destiny?"
Everyone was both surprised and shocked!
"Destiny cannot be chosen, this is common knowledge for all of us... This mech is the only one on the Central Planet that fundamentally cannot have an owner. It is said that this mech was personally built by a genius scientist many years ago, incorporating the only piece of special meteoric iron from interstellar space-time..."
"It was named Destiny, and it is said that only by awakening the power of Destiny, this high-level ability, could one have a chance to control this mech."
"But isn't this just a rumor? And it's an acknowledged, albeit legendary, rumor that is impossible in reality. In this world, how could anyone possibly control the power of Destiny? The power of Destiny lies precisely in its unfathomability..."
"Are these legends true?"
"It's impossible for them to be true. But this mech, Destiny, after being sealed for so many years, has actually found a master?"
"Who is she?"
"Why haven't we seen her before?"
"Who is it that can control the Destiny mech?"
