Chapter 17

"Boss, we won, we won!"

"Your face is a win, Justin winning is very normal. This guy always shows up at the wrong time, and now he’s here to show off."

Solen grunted, his head aching at the thought.

"No, boss, the skeleton won, and he even used Justin's moves to beat him. The live stream has over five thousand viewers, the forum is about to explode, and the click rate has already surpassed ten thousand!"

Solen almost jumped out of his chair, his old back feeling like it was back to his youthful days.

How could this be?

Indeed, how could this be!

It was like a deep-water bomb, shocking many people. Unlike the battle with Dragon God 007, where everyone was just guessing and many moves could be imitated, many people knew about the Red Flag. Using the Mad Executioner to this extent could only be Justin, who had a straightforward personality and didn’t hide it even with friends.

Yet Justin was taken down by an unknown player.

The video was being watched by countless players. Clearly, the person was not initially adapted to the desert environment, with some actions that even new players would experience. When they first entered the desert, they also had one foot deep and one foot shallow, and many fell.

But the skeleton seemed to adapt, what kind of adaptability was this??

Was it an act?

If so, it was too realistic, worthy of a Galactic Oscar.

The slow-motion Mad Executioner’s attack was even more violent. Such an intense counterattack was rare even in high-level areas, and both players pushed the functions of War God 1 to the limit.

The final move was even more unexpected, a headbutt...

The headbutt killed Justin, known for his adaptability.

The violent mid-laner, the skeleton’s godly move reappeared!

The latest move — the Top Spin Mad Executioner, analyzed!

Who will be the next legend on the top lane?

Who can stop the skeleton’s advance!

………………

Wang classmate was eating instant noodles while checking his SkyNet bill. Damn, not a single cent, what’s going on?

At this rate, he won’t even be able to afford instant noodles.

The SkyNet notification beeped, it was Ye Zisu.

"What’s up, Zisu?"

Ye Zisu was speechless, seeing Wang Zheng with a mouth full of noodles. Was he eating this at home?

"Can’t I just call you for no reason? Xiao Jing isn’t here, and I’m bored. Let’s go sing!"

Wang Zheng broke out in a sweat, "Cough, cough, this is dangerous."

"What’s wrong?"

"When I was a kid, my singing scared the neighborhood animals into fainting."

Ye Zisu couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, I have a strong resistance, and I sing very well."

To be honest, after interacting with her, Wang Zheng found Ye Zisu to be quite nice. A bit of pride in girls was normal, and after getting to know her, they could be friends, especially since they were in the same department, from middle school to college, it wasn’t easy.

As it turned out, Wang classmate was indeed not suited for singing. Despite his love for humming, he made Ye Zisu laugh so hard that all her ladylike demeanor was thrown to the wind.

A month passed in a blink, especially for Wang Zheng, whose life was incredibly fulfilling. The War God Academy started with a physical test, especially for military students. Those who performed poorly would be directly eliminated, so Wang Zheng didn’t dare to slack off, especially since he was still a non-regular student like Xue.

At the OMG Beijing headquarters, over a hundred employees were cheering for ten young repair technicians.

"Uncle Rom, Wang Zheng has only been learning for a month, isn’t it a bit too rushed?"

In the crowd, Ye Zisu said worriedly. OMG regularly held repair competitions to motivate the technicians. Although interns were not prohibited from participating, the results were predictable. This time, Rom had registered Wang Zheng.

Rom glanced at Ye Zisu, "Little girl, if you went to such lengths to get him in, don’t you know his capabilities?"

Ye Zisu was slightly taken aback. Wang Zheng’s capabilities? She thought he was hardworking and serious, but that had nothing to do with talent, especially given his gene count...

"Girl, don’t be too fixated on gene counts, they’re just a reference!" Rom said. Initially, he was reluctant to take on Wang Zheng, but he couldn’t resist Ye Zisu’s pleading, and it turned out he had found a gem.

The competition began. The ten participants were all excellent technicians from Beijing and the surrounding areas. Wang Zheng was the least familiar among them. This time, the competition was about disassembling the core components of a training mech.

The ten quickly climbed the ladders, all around thirty years old. Wang Zheng was indeed the youngest, but his speed was not slow at all.

Ye Zisu watched, seeing Wang Zheng handle the task like a seasoned pro, quickly disassembling the components. Rom stroked his beard, nodding frequently. This kid didn’t act like a beginner, and the key was that he wasn’t nervous. Some people could train well but would freeze up during the competition, but Wang Zheng seemed more excited.

"Little girl, this kid is a promising talent, but it’s a waste for him to be a technician. Though I haven’t seen much of the world, I can say this kid is no ordinary person!"

Rom was extremely satisfied with Wang Zheng, and Ye Zisu’s heart was pounding. What did he mean by not seeing much of the world? In solving mech problems, Rom was an expert and a key figure at OMG. He could have retired long ago but stayed because of his passion. The War God Academy had once invited him to be a guest professor for an elective course in the mech department.

"Uncle, you should really consider the War God Academy’s offer. You can pass on more of your skills."

"Heh, do you think I don’t know today’s young people? They’re all high-minded and low-handed, afraid of dirt and fatigue, and eager for fame."

Rom said.

"Uncle, isn’t there a student like Wang Zheng? You need to cultivate these kinds of talents!"

Ye Zisu continued to persuade. A senior technician like Rom, with significant influence in the industry and a stake in OMG, would be a great asset to the War God Academy’s brand if he became a professor.

"Tsk, little girl, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to... but you have a point, let me think about it."

Wang Zheng indeed made Rom look at these "high-caliber students" differently.

Time ticked by, and Wang Zheng was the first to jump down from the mech, with a time of eighteen minutes and sixty-five seconds, setting a new record for the Beijing store.

Rom laughed and nodded, "Impressive, this kid’s best time was usually twenty-five minutes, a classic case of peak performance under pressure!"

The referee was already checking the assembly with instruments and soon gave the OK sign, prompting even more applause.

"A great teacher produces great students!" Ye Zisu clapped, this was indeed an unexpected result.

Wang classmate breathed a huge sigh of relief, finally securing the win. The internship salary plus the bonus would cover his tuition!

Solen was like an ant on a hot pan, sending countless messages to the skeleton, but to no avail. He had been racking his brain, never imagining it was because of the insignificant bonus!

The first CT bonus was paid immediately, but the subsequent ones were accumulated and paid out in one lump sum. He had no idea that someone was in dire need.

Wang Zheng was fully committed, and Rom taught him with great dedication. Who wouldn’t like a hardworking, unafraid of dirt and fatigue young man, especially one who genuinely loved it?

In the end, Wang Zheng won the training mech repair competition and broke Rom’s own record of one hour and thirteen minutes, completing it in fifty-nine minutes, the first to break the one-hour mark. Wang classmate’s agility was truly unmatched.

What made Wang Zheng happiest was that his early mornings and late nights were worth it. He no longer had to worry about tuition. In a short time, he gained a lot, understanding the basic structure of mechs and making a friend in Ye Zisu. Goddesses weren’t as unapproachable as they seemed, and friendship was about chemistry.

As a square-faced fat man once said: Fate!

Yan Xiaosu and Xie Yuxin also returned. During their time away from school, everyone had changed.

Yan Xiaosu’s face had become more square, but his transformation was significant. The Mars trip broadened his horizons, and he now felt grateful to Yue Jing. Without her, he might have continued living aimlessly.

Xie Yuxin didn’t say much about his experience, but it was clear that the trip had filled him with determination.

The War God Military Academy opened!

The entrance to the War God Academy was packed with people, and the streets were lined with luxurious maglev cars. Enthusiastic seniors were everywhere.

Especially the male seniors, who were bursting with unprecedented passion, their eyes scanning the crowd like laser guns. Once they spotted a target, they immediately rushed over.

What beautiful and vibrant freshmen! In this era, the early bird gets the worm, and the latecomer gets the leftovers. No wonder there were so many volunteers.

But Wang Zheng, Yan Xiaosu, and Xie Yuxin stood there for a long time without anyone paying them any attention.

The three looked at the War God Academy’s gate, "This gate is too shabby. When I have money, I’ll replace it with the most luxurious one in the galaxy!"

Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin exchanged a smile, "Wang Zheng, I don’t believe you always score sixty by chance. I hope we can compete fairly this time!"

Xie Yuxin suddenly said.

Wang Zheng was taken aback, "Bring it on!"

The three went their separate ways to register. Wang Zheng arrived at the mech department, and the admissions officer adjusted his glasses, "Are you sure you’re in the mech department? Your name isn’t here."

Wang Zheng was stunned, this couldn’t be a joke, right?

"Teacher, could you check again?"

"Is your name Wang Zheng? Let me check... You’re in the physics department, you’ve come to the wrong place. Turn right at the door, go straight for three blocks, and it’s the next one."

Wang Zheng was confused, what was going on? Wasn’t it supposed to be a dual degree in mech and physics? Could it be...

Wang Zheng found the physics department building and asked many people before finding Xiao Fei.

"Doctor, why am I not in the mech department?" Wang Zheng stared at Xiao Fei, somewhat anxious. He didn’t want to spend his days dealing with numbers.

Xiao Fei looked up and smiled, "Calm down, take a seat."

"Doctor, this isn’t a joke. I remember you promised that I could study in both departments. I’ve already missed the military registration."

(Calling for the freshest Monday votes at midnight, thank you all!!)
