Chapter 12

Qin Huang was slightly surprised and said, "Teacher, you figured it out?"

Sha Zhenghai snorted and scolded, "Is there anything in this school that I don't know about? You, you little rascal, it's good to work hard, but you don't have to exhaust yourself, do you? Luo Tianxiong's whip isn't easy to endure! If I don't intervene, you might have to drop out next time!"

"Also, don't think that just because you won Xiao Pingyue with a trick, you really have the strength of a junior mobile warrior! Hey! A mobile warrior who can only last for more than five minutes won't be wanted by any commander in the army!"

"..." The young man's face turned red, realizing that this teacher was very well-informed. Nothing about him had escaped his notice, not even the mech battle this morning.

"Alright! I'm not blaming you," Sha Zhenghai softened his tone and said, "As the old saying goes: haste makes waste. Everything has a process, and overdoing it is never good! You're young, willing to work hard, and not lacking in luck. Your future achievements won't be bad! Why rush?"

"Yes, I understand!" Qin Huang could only respond honestly.

Sha Zhenghai nodded in satisfaction and added, "Remember, when you meet her, no matter what that woman says, just keep praising her... beauty, and you'll be fine! Don't forget, or if you anger her, something bad might happen, and no one can save you!"

"..."

"Why?"

"Why so many questions? Just do as I say!" He said irritably, "Once you're done, come back to me quickly. This component might still need your help to complete!"

"Alright!" The young man had no choice but to agree.

...

Back in the dormitory, Wu De excitedly greeted him, grabbing his shoulder and saying, "Boss, you really made a name for yourself this time! The video about you on the campus forum has already spread far and wide!"

"Really?" Qin Huang was somewhat surprised. It was just a regular virtual battle, and he didn't expect it to receive so much attention. It sounded unbelievable.

Wu Neng, who was lounging on the sofa, also laughed, "That's right. Your current fame is no less than that of the few elite students! Don't believe me? Check it out yourself."

The young man nodded, sat down, and opened the personal light computer on his wrist. He easily entered the campus forum and found that there were indeed many discussions about him. The cause was the battle video, which had been leaked by someone and gained astonishing attention in just a few hours! Even many students from other schools who were just browsing were interested.

"Strange, Xiao Pingyue's strength isn't fake. I saw him pass the mobile warrior test with my own eyes! This guy named Qin Huang doesn't look like much, so how did he win twice? Could he have cheated?"

"Nonsense? Who can cheat in front of the central computer? I've studied this video many times, and it's definitely not fake! Xiao Pingyue must have been careless and lost to this guy who doesn't even qualify for a mech!"

"Two consecutive losses can't be explained by carelessness alone. We have to admit that Qin Huang has the strength to face off with Xiao Pingyue. This can't be faked!" Most people's evaluations were relatively fair.

"Even if that's true, so what? He just got lucky! If he had dragged it out a bit longer, he would have been forced off by the central computer, and he would have lost anyway!" Many were defending Xiao Pingyue.

"Alright! We can acknowledge Qin Huang's outstanding performance, but that doesn't mean much. If his physical shortcomings aren't resolved, he will never have the chance to become a formal mobile warrior..."

"Unfortunately, this requires a lot of training resources, which students without a solid economic foundation can't afford! I think Qin Huang comes from a civilian background, and without special circumstances, this problem is basically unsolvable!"

"Um! That is indeed a problem..."

Qin Huang browsed through the numerous comments under the video. Although he didn't say anything, he acknowledged some people's views. Relying on luck and tricks wasn't a long-term solution. Xiao Pingyue had only lost because he was overly arrogant and underestimated his opponent. If he had been more shameless and just dragged out the battle, there would have been no way for Qin Huang to win!

This was just a virtual battle. In a real battlefield, the consequences he would face would be even more severe. Enemies wouldn't adhere to any principles of fair combat!

So, he still needed to work hard to improve his strength!

The A赖耶识 (A赖耶识) mind method would naturally optimize and enhance his physical attributes with continuous practice, but the lack of training resources was a significant problem.

Qin Huang silently estimated that his current meal consumption was equivalent to that of ten strong men in the military. As he advanced in his training, it would only increase! This meant that the cost of organic nutrients alone would reach an unbelievable amount!

His bank card had 1,500 star coins "given" to him by Xiao Pingyue, plus the 1,000 star coins his teacher Sha Zhenghai had just transferred to him, which would only last about a month. If he didn't want to starve, he would have to find another way.

To train and become stronger, he needed resources, a lot of resources. In the end, it all came down to one word: money!

Money isn't everything, but without money, nothing is possible.

"Do you have any way to earn a lot of income in a short time?" he asked Wu De.

Wu De chuckled, "Sure! Turn left out of the bank, and take as much as you want!"

"Damn! Are you asking for a beating? I'm being serious!" Qin Huang's eyebrows furrowed, and his tone was slightly displeased.

Wu Neng glared at his brother and said seriously, "Boss, this is difficult! Although there are some part-time job opportunities in the school, they aren't very challenging, and the pay isn't much, just enough for basic living. It's really impossible to meet the huge consumption required for training."

He had already seen through Qin Huang's intentions, but there was no good solution to this problem! A bottle of high-quality organic biological recovery agent alone costs at least 100 star coins, and the prices of those agents that can continuously optimize the body, stimulate potential, and accelerate training are even more astonishing, far beyond what ordinary students can afford.

To become stronger, apart from talent, there are two decisive factors: one's own effort and sufficient training resources, both of which are indispensable!

Even in the Earth era, elite special forces would have their dietary standards significantly improved during high-intensity training, and medical and health resources must be in place. Otherwise, within a few days, soldiers might suffer from malnutrition, leading to hematuria, weakness, fainting, and other adverse consequences!

The naive idea that one can become a super-strong person just by working hard and having a strong will, relying solely on instant noodles, is just a dream! Without sufficient training resources, simply increasing the intensity of training will only overburden the body and lead to its premature collapse. Qin Huang had suffered from this before and wouldn't make the same mistake again.

After considering all the options in his mind, the young man found that he had few choices. Perhaps seeking out the mysterious teacher Sha Zhenghai was the most feasible path, and the other methods wouldn't meet his expectations.

He sighed softly in his heart, put the problem aside for the moment, chatted with his brothers for a while, and then returned to his room to continue his daily training.
