Chapter 97

Chen Jie briefly explained his purpose.

It turned out that he hoped Qin Huang would transfer the order signed by General Xu Yunlong to him, as his own source energy index had also reached the level of a fourth-rank mobile warrior, and he urgently needed a custom-made bronze four-star mech.

"… Senior Qin Huang, although your current strength is formidable, your source energy index is still slightly low. Even if you get a bronze four-star mech, you won't be able to fully utilize its capabilities for the time being!"

"So my proposal is: you transfer this exchange order to me, and I will transfer 70 million star coins to you in one go. This amount is enough for you to buy a bronze three-star mech and fully upgrade and optimize it!"

"As compensation, I will give you this high-level resource exchange card and ten Starlight Essence Pills. Additionally, I will owe you a favor. If you need any help in the Central Military Academy in the future, just let me know! What do you think?"

"Hmm, it sounds like a good idea!" Qin Huang pondered.

He understood Chen Jie's intention. According to the current market situation, a brand new bronze three-star mech costs 50 million star coins, and the overall optimization and modification costs about 15 million star coins.

A bronze four-star mech, on the other hand, costs 75 million star coins, and with the optimization and modification costs, the total value exceeds 100 million star coins!

Given Qin Huang's current source energy level, even if he took the Star Source Body Tempering Pill, he couldn't break through two ranks at once. Therefore, he could only choose a bronze three-star mech, making the use of this exchange order somewhat wasteful.

So Chen Jie planned to exchange Qin Huang's order through this method. If he agreed, he could save at least 30 million star coins. After all, the high-level resource exchange card and the Starlight Essence Pills were rewards from the military, and he hadn't spent a single penny on them.

Of course, Qin Huang wouldn't lose out either. Besides getting the mech he needed, he would also receive a high-level resource exchange card and ten Starlight Essence Pills, which was a pleasant surprise.

Moreover, Chen Jie had promised to owe him a favor. The various challenges and competitions he would face in the Central Military Academy would not be few, and having a powerful and influential classmate like Chen Jie as an ally would certainly be beneficial.

After considering for a while, Qin Huang found it feasible. After discussing with instructors Luo Tianxiong and Muliya, he finally agreed to Chen Jie's request.

Chen Jie immediately completed the transfer through his personal optical brain, giving Qin Huang a glimpse of what a true rich and handsome guy looked like. Compared to the top families in the federal capital, the so-called wealthy families on Dinaan Star were just a bunch of insignificant local tycoons.

Finally, he smiled and said, "The real entrance exam for the Central Military Academy is just a month away. Although this exam is more dangerous, the rewards will be even greater! I believe Senior Qin Huang will also perform outstandingly, right?"

Qin Huang's heart stirred, and he said, "If at that time, Chen Mengxuan..."

Chen Jie understood and immediately said, "Don't worry! I will definitely help you deal with her, and she still owes me a large debt! Perhaps I should remind her to think of ways to pay it back as soon as possible, rather than thinking about those bad things!"

The two smiled at each other.

...

"… What is that boy doing now?"

In a luxuriously decorated private living room, General Yang Shiqi asked his adjutant coldly, his face dark.

The adjutant replied, "They are still attending the buffet, and they might leave soon!"

Yang Shiqi's eyes turned cold, and a chilling murderous intent surged, "Since that's the case, can we arrange for that boy to disappear?"

"No, General!" The adjutant looked troubled, "The Minister is still here, along with those few who are not close to you. We can't act without being noticed!"

"Moreover, that boy is very cautious, and there are several capable instructors watching him. We didn't bring suitable personnel this time, so we can't guarantee the success of the operation!"

Yang Shiqi's face became even uglier, though his mind was still clear. He knew that if anything happened to the first-place winner of this trial, it definitely wouldn't escape General Xu Yunlong's notice!

Although he was powerful, he was still no match for this true military heavyweight. Therefore, he couldn't act recklessly and risk bringing disaster upon himself!

However, the hatred for his son's death could not be left unavenged. No matter how much the boy was favored by the higher-ups, Yang Shiqi would not let him off easily.

"Since it's difficult to act here, we can wait until the Dinaan Military Academy's transport ship returns and intercept it with a fleet from our jurisdiction, along with a few silver mech pilots, and secretly assassinate him on the way," Yang Shiqi thought for a moment and said.

The adjutant still shook his head, "It's still difficult! Our Qinghui Military District is too far from here, over ten thousand light-years away, and the time is too short. Moreover, the confidentiality issue is hard to solve!"

The general could no longer hold back, slamming his hand on the table and roaring with a livid face, "Are we just going to let that damn brat continue to run wild? If you can't even solve such a simple problem, what am I feeding you all for?"

"Yes, yes..."

The adjutant wiped his sweat and said timidly, "General, although we can't act openly, he will eventually go to the battlefield, especially for the entrance exam of the Central Military Academy. We can arrange some capable personnel to secretly take him out during the exam!"

"Hmm?"

Yang Shiqi's eyes narrowed, and after careful consideration, he found the plan feasible, and his expression finally softened.

"You're right. Dying in actual combat is a common occurrence, and even if he is the first-place winner, he can still have an accident!"

The general slowly nodded, "Since that's the case, you will be responsible for arranging this! Remember to clean up thoroughly, hmpf! Let that boy live a few more days!"

...

After the buffet ended, the students from various schools gradually returned to their respective transport ships to rest.

After three days of intense combat, even elite mobile warriors felt physically and mentally drained, so a good rest was necessary.

Qin Huang had just returned to his rest area when an armed guard from his school came to report that a female student from another school named Chen Mengxuan was looking for him and wanted to talk.

"What tricks is this woman up to now?" he thought, instructing the guard to lead her to the reception area and informing Muliya through his optical brain.

Since this was on his military academy's territory, he wasn't afraid she would dare to cause trouble.

Chen Mengxuan came alone this time.

When she saw Qin Huang enter, she gracefully stood up, a restrained and proper smile on her beautiful face, and said warmly, "Classmate Qin Huang, we meet again."

He nodded and said calmly, "It's quite late. I wonder what Senior Chen needs from me?"

Chen Mengxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a proposal. Could you transfer the Star Source Body Tempering Pill to me? This item is very important to me!"

"Transfer?"

Qin Huang raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone still calm, "Well... it's not out of the question. What do you plan to offer in return?"

Chen Mengxuan took out a silver signal jammer the size of a button and placed it on the coffee table in front of her, then whispered, "I can't give you many star coins now, but you don't lack money either. So my proposal is: let you observe a copy of the Moonlight Bone Washing Scripture for two hours. This is a high-level cultivation technique, a top-secret technique of my family! What do you think?"

Qin Huang was slightly surprised and then smiled lightly, "A high-level cultivation technique? You're really generous!"

High-level cultivation techniques are crucial to a family's foundation, so the inheritance of such techniques is a top priority. Only the core members of the family have a chance to see them.

Chen Mengxuan said frankly, "Yes! This is our family's most precious cultivation technique, a treasure that will never be passed on to outsiders! So after you observe it, you must keep it confidential, or you will definitely face the family's pursuit and assassination!"

"How about this condition to exchange for your Star Source Body Tempering Pill?"
