A sudden sense of alertness changed Qin Huang's expression immediately.

At first, he thought there was a malfunction inside the mecha and was about to take emergency measures. However, after waiting for several seconds, he did not hear any alarm sounds in the cockpit. All the operational modules were running extremely stably, and the mecha's flight posture remained as steady as ever, with no abnormalities at all!

"Strange, could it be that I'm just being overly sensitive..." He muttered in confusion, carefully and meticulously checking the equipment modules several times, but found nothing.

The Gargoyle mecha had already returned to the large energy shield above the city, and the military academy's warehouse area was clearly visible in the distance.

Just as he was about to relax, that indescribable sense of danger suddenly reappeared in his heart, and this time it was even more pronounced. It felt as if he was being watched by a terrifying beast, making his hair stand on end.

"...Damn! What's going on here?"

The young man's face darkened, and he issued several commands. The mecha's detection modules were powered up to full capacity, and he focused his mind using the Alaya-vijnana technique to scan the surrounding airspace. Still, he found no suspicious situations, proving that no one was secretly following him.

However, since practicing the Alaya-vijnana technique, Qin Huang's perception had become extremely sharp, and his instinctive intuition about certain things was incredibly precise! So he felt that he should trust himself this time; the sense of danger could not be baseless.

With extreme caution, he operated the mecha to land smoothly and return to the warehouse. Only after the engine was shut off did Qin Huang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Outside, two instructors and Xu Tingfeng came up to greet him.

"Student Qin Huang, how did it feel? Was it satisfactory?" Xu Tingfeng asked with a smile.

He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Very good!"

"Then, please sign here!" He cheerfully handed over a document:

"From now on, it will be your exclusive mecha! Along with various spare parts and maintenance tools, this is a total of twelve million star coins, all hard-earned money from the federation's taxpayers. I hope you will take good care of it!"

Qin Huang silently took the pen and signed his name on the acceptance document, and the sense of danger reappeared in his heart.

Then, Mu Liya, as a witness, also signed, officially completing the transfer of the Gargoyle Type 3 mecha.

"Two instructors, I plan to visit Teacher Sha Zhenghai and take the mecha with me. Is that okay?" The young man weighed it for a few seconds and finally couldn't help but ask.

Luo Tianxiong smiled, "Of course, it's yours now!"

...

The tall and imposing, entirely black Gargoyle mecha flew low over the campus, drawing the attention of the students below, who stopped to look up and point and discuss.

Upon landing at the destination, he directly operated the mecha into the maintenance center hall.

"Hey! It's you, kid!" A familiar voice called out from a group of mechanics who had gathered.

The armor protection plates of the cockpit were open, so the people below could easily see the young figure inside.

Qin Huang nodded, "Uncle Ma Qin, it's me! This mecha was just issued to me!"

Mechanic Ma Qin wiped the oil and sweat from his face, incredulously shouting, "Ah, you hardworking little guy has really made it? An exclusive mecha! This is a treatment reserved for military second-class and above mobile warriors! You really have it..."

"It's this kid, I recognize him!"

"Yep! A likable and very hardworking kid!"

"So, this year's top student is him? Not bad, not bad, the kid has a bright future..."

The mechanics chattered away. They, of course, understood what an exclusive mecha meant for a mobile warrior. For Qin Huang to receive such treatment at such a young age, his future was naturally bright.

After chatting with them for a while, Qin Huang politely excused himself and came to Sha Zhenghai's work area.

At that moment, the unscrupulous teacher was identifying a batch of rare metal materials that had just been delivered. Seeing the young man silently rush in, he immediately called out:

"Kid, you came just in time, quickly help me check these things! That old guy Medel has been getting more and more outrageous lately, even daring to pass off inferior goods to me. Next time, I'll have to..."

"Teacher, let's talk about this later! Please help me check this mecha first!" Qin Huang said urgently.

Sha Zhenghai was taken aback, put down his work, and followed him out. Seeing the Gargoyle Type 3 mecha parked outside, he asked, "This seems to be the exclusive mecha you just received. Is there a problem?"

Qin Huang worriedly said, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong on the surface, but that's exactly why I feel uneasy..."

Sha Zhenghai's expression turned serious as he circled the mecha and pondered, "Though intuition is a subjective thing, since you mentioned it, I'll help you check! Hmm, that old fox Xu Tingfeng has always been a two-faced guy. Who knows if he's up to something—rumor has it that Xu Dezhi is his nephew!"

"So, there is a problem!" Qin Huang thought for a moment and understood. He and the fourth student in the class had a fight yesterday, and that guy was close to Zhu Yingxuan. The rest was self-evident.

When Sha Zhenghai got serious, he was still reliable. The brand new Gargoyle Type 3 was immediately dragged into a large enclosed workshop, and numerous engineering robots swarmed over it, disassembling it into individual functional modules in no time.

"Bring me the most advanced multi-band four-dimensional molecular scanner," he ordered:

"Also, the neutrino metal analyzer, cloud magnetic resonance imaging mirror, and ultra-miniature nanorobot workstation... conduct a comprehensive inspection of all functional modules according to the highest inspection standards, and then perform extreme performance tests on each one! If even this can't find any problems, I'll believe Xu Tingfeng has really changed his ways!"

One after another, high-end inspection equipment was pushed out by the engineering robots and activated.

Qin Huang's eyes twitched slightly. As a mecha creator, his knowledge of engineering mechanics was naturally not lacking. These expensive instruments represented the highest level of military manufacturing in the federation, and some were even imported from the superpower of the Trella star system, the Nirose Empire.

Even the original manufacturer of this mecha, the Youyan Heavy Industry Group in the federal capital, might not have such advanced equipment! A military academy on a remote planet having such high-spec, almost luxurious hardware configuration was truly thought-provoking.

Two hours later, all the inspection work was nearly complete, and Qin Huang finally understood the source of his dangerous intuition.

"There are mainly two problems! One is the energy module, and the other is the mecha's escape pod. Additionally, the quality of the particle oscillation blade is also subpar! That sly old dog..." Sha Zhenghai was seething with cold laughter.

After the most thorough inspection, three extremely subtle flaws were found in the energy matrix pattern inside the mecha's energy module. Although they didn't seem serious, they were all in critical nodes of the matrix pattern! The energy module usually operates without being affected, but if it runs at full power for a certain period, there could be a brief interruption in energy transmission!

Although it's only a negligible moment, the mecha's redundancy compensation program would quickly respond. However, the battlefield is unpredictable, and a split second can mean the difference between life and death! At a critical moment, this could be a fatal flaw!

The activation program of the mecha's escape pod contained an extremely hidden virus. If an accident occurs and the mecha is damaged, it might lock directly, cutting off the mobile warrior's escape chance!

As for the particle oscillation blade's excitation core, it could experience energy leakage during high-intensity combat, leading to a significant decrease in the energy blade's lethality, which is also an unacceptable flaw!

Qin Huang's eyes glinted with a hint of killing intent as he slowly said, "These problems are actually very hidden. Even a relatively experienced mecha repair technician would find it hard to spot them! And they don't affect the mecha's daily operation. They only manifest under extreme conditions! Xu Tingfeng is determined to see me dead!"

"You're right!" Sha Zhenghai nodded:

"In such a situation, you would have almost no chance of survival! Once you're dead, even if the school notices something is wrong, it would be hard to uncover the truth! Even if they have some evidence, that old devil could still shift the blame to the manufacturer and clear himself of any responsibility!"

Qin Huang asked straightforwardly, "What would be the consequences if I killed him?"

Sha Zhenghai was slightly surprised, looking at him deeply, and shook his head, "You really are bold, even thinking about such things. Xu Tingfeng is a powerful figure in the military academy with considerable family influence! If he suddenly dies, could you handle the Xu family's retaliation alone?"

"Then I can't just let them cut my head off, can I?" Qin Huang said coldly:

"Since it's already a matter of life and death, why should I care so much? At worst, I'll drag them down with me, and it won't be a loss!"

Since Xu Tingfeng has set up a death trap, he won't stop until Qin Huang is dead. Being constantly haunted by such a treacherous snake, he wouldn't even sleep well!

Therefore, only by taking preemptive action and eliminating that guy before he makes further moves can he ensure a permanent solution to the problem.

"Don't think like that!" Sha Zhenghai waved his hand:

"Your life is worth more than that disgusting old dog! If, and I mean if... you're willing to owe me a favor, perhaps I can help you find a way to resolve this! What do you think?"
