Chapter 129

The classes continued as usual. After Professor Meng Ye became the team coach, Zhou Naiyi and the others trained with increased enthusiasm, because the principal was planning a campus battle.

In this era, school mech teams were like basketball or football teams of the past, but even more glamorous. Places like Tianjing Mecha Academy had arenas with five thousand seats for holographic battlefield combat, which was an absolute stage to show off. The time left for Zhou Naiyi's team was short. Fortunately, Wu Zang and Ye Tong’s strength began to show in team battles. The teamwork between members definitely needed to be honed. Even Zuo Xiaotang became diligent. There was no choice; if he didn't want to embarrass himself, he had to work hard. At this point, it was too late for Zuo Xiaopang to quit.

Li Hao, on the other hand, became free and accompanied A Youyou to her opera class, while A Youyou accompanied Li Hao to his mecha class.

Since Zhou Naiyi's team was formed, Professor Meng Ye seemed to have suddenly had his Ren and Du meridians opened. He began to abandon the NUP mechs and instead use USE mechs that suited the character of Earthlings. There were considerable differences in the thinking and physical qualities of different federations. The final reactions had errors because of the different planets, even with the same gene adjustment. It was okay to understand the opponent, but blindly imitating them clearly had no way out… anyway, it was the second team, so there was no pressure if they lost.

“What I mean is not to tell you all to use the Armor Tiger, Armor Dragon, or even Armor Leopard. There’s no need to dig out the old antiques, but everyone look at this player called Mu Ou (Puppet). His operation, his awareness, his judgment, he’s using practical actions to tell us that USE mechs are not weak at all. Not only that, but they pay more attention to the human body structure and can maximize the human mind.”

Meng Ye knocked on the blackboard. He liked battle analysis, but using an internet celebrity was a first.

“Everyone, you might think he’s an amateur, but I’m telling you here, he must have undergone quite harsh military training, one hundred percent!” Meng Ye said.

“Professor, we’re also undergoing strict training.”

“This student, you obviously have a misunderstanding of strict. Look at all of his battles, muscle habits, which is what we’ve always been demanding. Not only body muscle habits, but even more advanced, mecha muscle habits, which means that when making a move, the best judgment is made instinctively, not the instinct of a living being, but the instinct of battle. Take this recent match, Zi Shan (Purple Lightning). I still have an impression of this person. He was fifteenth in the light mecha solo competition last year. His level is quite good. It can be seen that his level has declined after graduation, but everyone see, when facing the fatal punch, he reacted, judged the direction of Mu Ou’s attack correctly, and even made the reaction of turning around to face it. The reaction of ordinary people facing an attack is an instinctive dodge, but he faced it, trying to make a counterattack or defense. Although he didn’t make it in the end, his muscle memory was right.”

Everyone didn't expect Meng Ye to praise the opponent. After the game, everyone discussed that Xiu (Mashu)'s level had dropped too quickly to become a user of concept mechs, and once they got used to concept mechs, their level would drop quickly. This was almost a curse.

“Professor, who exactly is Mu Ou? Could he be a big shot in the military, or from our USE ace unit?”

“I don’t know, and it’s not important. I said last time that everyone should find the characteristics and combat advantages of our USE mechs from it. This is definitely in line with our biological structure. Since someone can do it, why can’t we?”

The existence of Mu Ou seemed to have found an argument for Meng Ye’s consistent theory, and this person only used the backward Armor series, which completely verified Meng Ye’s ideas. The USE mecha system was very good, but it needed to be developed and adapted to new combat styles. Always following behind the Moon people, they would never be able to surpass them.

“Senior, Mu Ou is so amazing, who is more powerful, you or him?” A Youyou asked softly.

“Of course it’s me.” Li Hao would never back down in front of the girl he liked. “He just hasn’t met me yet, otherwise I’d hang him up and beat him.”

“You’re just bragging,” A Youyou said with a smile.

“Yo yo yo, what kind of boys do you like?” Li Hao asked. Of course, the answer he thought of was impossible.

“Charming ones, it’s better if they’re a little mysterious, like Superman,” A Youyou said with a smile.

Li Hao pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. Isn’t that describing himself?

Just as he was halfway through his smile, the Skylink vibrated with a message.

Li Hao calmed down. A Youyou, who was next to him, suddenly felt like the person next to her had disappeared.

Bleem Mission 129: Defend Earth’s honor, lead the Earth style.

If there was a Bleem standing in front of Li Hao, he could crush the guy to death. What did he take him for? He was just a commoner, a military academy student. Wasn’t this a dream?

Lead? With his big face?

Li Hao couldn’t help but frown. In the past, Bleem’s missions were very clear and direct, but recently the missions were becoming more and more strange and ethereal.

From the previous EMP score, limiting the Armor series, to this one, at least it pointed to one goal, which was to suppress the moon. This seemed to be reflected in the previous missions, like the Apocalypse Youth Class mission, which was also aimed at the moon.

“Senior, senior, what’s wrong?” A Youyou, who was next to him, tugged on Li Hao. Li Hao woke up.

“It’s nothing, just a creditor.”

“Ah, do you owe money? I have some, I can lend it to you.” A Youyou blurted out. Li Hao couldn’t help but smile and subconsciously pulled A Youyou’s hand. “Thank you, it’s not that kind of debt.”

A Youyou blushed instantly and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Li Hao wasn’t stupid. He had already pulled it, so he held A Youyou’s hand tightly. A Youyou pulled a few times but didn’t use too much force. The two of them held hands like this. Professor Meng Ye on the podium was still high-spirited and spouting wildly, but the minds of these two had long flown elsewhere.

Class was over. Li Hao felt for the first time that time passed so quickly. A Youyou had a professional class later, and he couldn’t get in.

“Senior, I’ll give you a gift.” A Youyou said as she was leaving. “Remember to check it.”

Looking at A Youyou’s happy departure, Li Hao smiled like an idiot. He felt free inside. This meant that A Youyou didn’t hate him, and even gave him a gift. Good omen!

Of course, he wouldn’t be like Ma Long and strike while the iron was hot and pounce on her. He felt that A Youyou had a good impression of him, but hadn’t reached that step yet. This was already very good… Holding her hand at that moment, he felt his brain buzzing and his heart was about to jump out.

“Ai ya, really stupid, I should have prepared a gift too, stupid, I have to go back and ask Teacher Ma for advice.”

Although the three other roommates and Teacher Ma had different values, Teacher Ma still crushed them on a technical level. From his own personal experience, Li Hao also knew that in this regard, Ma Long really left them in the dust. Not only in experience, but also the gap in realm was very different.

At noon, the four members of 4396 gathered in the cafeteria. Zuo Xiaotang looked a little sad.

“What’s wrong, Zuo Xiaopang, you look like a cooked crab, did you lose your love?”

“Is he the type to lose his love? The tickets for Arths’ concert are really impossible to get. Even scalpers don’t have any. The number is too small. They’ve all been internally reserved by various supernatural powers. Even if someone is willing to let go of one, it’s at a sky-high price. This kind of small concert is too rare. It was originally in our Tianjing, damn it, people are flying in from all over the solar system. How can these people be so free!” Ma Long said helplessly.

“Don’t blame Ma Long, even the president of the USE fan club only has one ticket. There are too few, alas.”

“Then just watch at the door?”

“The problem is there’s no outer field. This time, it’s just a private gathering. It’s said that there are also many big shots. Considering security and other aspects, large-scale rejection is not allowed. Really, as long as Arths starts singing, put up a holographic screen outside, and gathering hundreds of thousands of people wouldn’t be a problem.”

The other three looked at each other, not quite understanding. It was nice to listen to, but Li Hao and Wu Zang weren’t these kind of people. Ma Long’s star-chasing was the rational type. He had to consider the cost performance. Isn’t it better to pick up girls if you have money?

Everyone started eating. “Teacher Ma, what kind of gift is more sincere to give to a girl?”

“Yo, yo, Brother Hao, there’s progress, did you confess?” Ma Long was excited.

“No, I think I should be more proactive. A Youyou said she was going to give me a gift, and I don’t know what to give back.”

“Wow, there are girls like this? Unbelievable, she definitely has a good impression of you. Then it depends on what gift she gives you. We have to be targeted. At least it can’t be cheaper than what she gives, and secondly, it has to suit her preferences.” In this regard, Teacher Ma’s experience was particularly rich.

“I don’t know yet, she told me to pay attention to checking my mailbox.” Li Hao nodded desperately. It didn’t matter if he didn’t understand, what Teacher Ma said was all right.

“Oh, then it should be some kind of greeting card or sharing. That’s normal. It seems like everything is going smoothly. The next step is more important, it concerns success or failure!” Teacher Ma took a sip of soup lightly, and suddenly stopped.

“Old Three, stop showing off, speak quickly, you’re stuck at a critical moment!”

“Well, at this time, girls are generally of two types, one is the proactive probing type, and the other is the passive waiting type. For example, if she suddenly asks you, do you like her, how do you answer?”

“I like her, what’s wrong with that!”

“Nonono, you can’t. Girls’ minds are delicate. If you answer like that, it’s basically not challenging, and the score in the girl’s heart will decrease. You have to say it like this, jump out of the question: Do you often ask other people this question? She will definitely say, no, I’m just asking you, then at this time you counter-ask, then do you like me? This way, no matter how the other party answers, you are in an invincible position. Love is a war, it can be compared to EMP, team battles must be drawn out, as a brave knight, you must take the initiative!” At this moment, Ma Long’s face was glowing. If he had a head ring, he could be a cult leader.
