Chapter 40

Seeing the pile of dirty mecha parts inside, everyone lost interest. They had hoped to see shiny mobile suits, even if they couldn't operate them, just looking would have been fine. But the situation turned out to be like this.

Where's the professor?

After waiting for a while, everyone became somewhat impatient, and then an old man wobbled in.

Wang Zheng was stunned when he saw him... it was Rom!

Rom clearly saw everyone's expressions—impatience, disgust at the dirt. When he saw Wang Zheng in the crowd, Rom finally showed a smile. Because of Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu's persuasion, Rom decided to take on the role of a visiting professor here, adding this elective course. He wanted to pass on his skills.

"I am your teacher, Rom. For today's first class, let's get to know each other. Clean up a bit, wipe the parts, and then you can leave."

After saying that, Rom leisurely went to watch TV in a room next to the mechanical warehouse.

Everyone looked at each other, is this a teacher?

If it were mobile suits in front of them, they would be happy to do it, but this pile of greasy things, just looking at them made them feel nauseous, let alone wiping them.

Ye Zisu and Meng Tian also exchanged glances. The situation at the War God Academy was bad, but not to this extent, right?

Ye Zisu had a hunch; it was likely Rom's doing.

While everyone was still hesitating, Wang Zheng had already picked up the tools and started wiping the parts.

Rom poked his head out of the window, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Then he continued watching TV. Inside, Lin Huiyin's new song was playing, and Rom nodded, "This one is good, not just soft and sweet, it has a bit of power."

Even with gloves on, it was hard to avoid getting dirty. The boys were a bit better, but the girls couldn't even stand the smell.

Ye Zisu skillfully changed her tools and started working with Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was very focused. Soon, he discovered that these dirty mecha parts were actually...

A model number quickly appeared: ASL-23556, "This is Aslan's thruster!"

Wang Zheng had only seen it in pictures; it was a work of art!

There was no doubt that in mecha technology, Aslan was top-notch in the Galactic Alliance. Their mechas were known for their complex and superior functions, making them both inside and out excellent. For a mechanic, this was a dream come true.

Ye Zisu was also surprised. Could these be Rom's treasures?

She knew Rom liked to collect parts from various countries' mechas, especially those with unique features. These things should be Rom's collection!

Rom, in the room, was tapping his foot. To those who loved them, these things were priceless treasures, but to those who didn't, they were just scrap metal.

Wang Zheng carefully wiped the parts, following the steps, but even so, it took him half an hour to clean one.

The Aslan high-end mecha's Eagle Mobile Suit thruster, shining brightly.

Most people were just going through the motions. They wanted to be mobile suit pilots, not repair technicians. No wonder this was an elective course.

If they had known it would be so boring, they wouldn't have chosen it. But Wang Zheng was enjoying it.

Actually, these tasks didn't need to be done by students, but Rom had a purpose. Only by doing it themselves and discovering things bit by bit would they have a deep memory and a genuine understanding.

This was also the condition he set for accepting the invitation, that the course format would be chosen by him.

When the break time came, almost everyone ran off, leaving only Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu, Meng Tian, and about ten others. Then Rom wobbled out.

In the warehouse, three parts had been cleaned. Rom nodded, "This is your achievement for today. I'll introduce the pros and cons of these three items."

"Wang Zheng, this Aslan Eagle thruster is one of Aslan's mainstream products. The propulsion effect is indeed top-notch, and the explosion resistance is also excellent. Many countries have taken inspiration from it, but in combat, this thruster has a fatal flaw."

Rom said, some things only warriors knew, and some only experienced mechanics knew.

Wang Zheng pondered, "Is it the braking?"

Rom's eyes lit up, "Exactly. To ensure propulsion, the braking is slightly delayed compared to others. In battle, this can be a point to exploit. Of course, with Aslan pilots' skills, they don't consider this a problem."

Wang Zheng smiled slightly. That's because they haven't met a real expert.

The remaining students finally understood. The course was just beginning. Rom wasn't teaching them how to repair mechas, which wasn't a pilot's job. He would cover some basic mechanical issues but focus on analyzing the pros and cons of mechas from a mechanic's perspective, from engines, power sources, weapons, and more. This was a completely different angle.

Rom had never been to the battlefield, but he was a unique theoretical expert.

The dozen or so dirty students were completely engrossed, almost without time to ask questions. Other courses talked about the external aspects of mechas, but this course delved into the essence and analysis of mechas.

"This mechanical arm has excellent flexibility, but its explosion resistance is slightly worse. In close combat, you can apply pressure, and the opponent will definitely break first."

Only an experienced mechanic would understand these specific data. As for how to use them and when to face such situations, that would only be known in battle and depend on the pilot's skills.

For Wang Zheng, it was like a thirst quenched. It turned out Rom had more to offer.

Almost no one who left after the second class came back, but those who stayed benefited greatly.

Each person absorbed what they could. After the class, Wang Zheng stayed to ask many questions until Rom, annoyed, chased him away, "You're too talkative. I still have a few years here, don't ask too much at once!"

Wang Zheng chuckled, "I'm just a slow learner."

"Ye girl, take him away. This is overtime work, I need to rest!"

Ye Zisu laughed and dragged Wang Zheng away, "Did something happen between you and Meng Tian?"

"Nothing much."

"This girl came back and asked me about you, like she was investigating your family tree. Could it be she's interested in you? Want me to help you set up a date?"

Ye Zisu asked casually.

Wang Zheng smiled, "No, she's Zhang Shan's target in our dorm."

"Tsk tsk, you have high standards, even Meng Tian doesn't meet them!"

Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly. He was pretty calm about such things; it had to feel right.

Regardless, Ye Zisu was quite satisfied with Wang Zheng's answer.

Wang Zheng didn't go back to the dorm but headed straight to the Brother Net Cafe. In battle, he would subconsciously pay attention to his mecha's condition, but he couldn't understand the opponent's mecha. If he could grasp both sides' mechas, it would be another step forward for him.

Only a madman like Wang Zheng would have such an idea. This was a high-level task based on theoretical knowledge and practical insight. Just thinking about it would make anyone's head spin, but Wang Zheng felt like he had discovered a new continent.

This would help him grasp the battle situation more accurately. If integrated into his combat instincts, it would at least improve his control of the battle by ten percent.

Unfortunately, Wang Zheng lacked someone to discuss with. If Skeleton were here, it would be great. Although he was good at criticizing, his judgment was much more accurate.

Wang Zheng went to the Brother Net Cafe, checked his email, and found no new tasks. He directly entered the ranked matches.

Many people had added him as a friend and set up notifications for when he was online. Wang Zheng didn't know how to go invisible, so many IDs started ringing.

Wang Zheng didn't waste time and directly entered the match.

Not only did the players get notifications, but the official staff also got alerts, which popped up almost immediately.

Wang Zheng had six consecutive wins. Although his level was low, with a 100% win rate, 5v5 was manageable, but 1v1 would only face stronger opponents.

High-level experts were limited, but they would rise in rank, and the restrictions on mechas would be lifted.

"Skull" matched "Rainbow"

In a net cafe, a man was laughing loudly, "It's my time to shine!"

War God One vs. Storm Eagle (with Luo Luo A positioning system)

After several rounds, the official website quickly responded, and of course, our famous commentator, Xiaolu, was there.

Xiaolu was commentating on a high-level match when he suddenly apologized to the audience, "This match is already decided. I'm sorry, everyone, but I have a match I must attend. I'm sure you know which one."

At this moment, many students quietly opened their tablets in class. Skipping class in front of the professor was suicide, but sneaking a peek was possible.

But when everyone saw the opponent, they were stunned. This match...

This Rainbow was definitely a rich second generation. Storm Eagle was Aslan's high-end, rich, and handsome fighter, enhanced by the system to reduce operation, making it a bug-like fighter with terrifying mobility and long-range burst. It was the type that could kill from a distance and then leave, and even more frustrating, it had the Luo Luo A positioning system.

This positioning system made players with poor skills stronger. In simple terms, it was an auxiliary tool that allowed average players to perform like ace pilots, and it was expensive. If chosen, it had to be noted, and it could be banned in some high-level matches.

But at this level, it wouldn't be banned.

Storm Eagle plus the Luo Luo positioning system was a god in the beginner zone, brutally slaughtering without mercy.

Rainbow, at the Bronze level, was also somewhat famous, known for the Rainbow Flow of Brutal Killing, which was essentially money overpowering everything. The mecha's performance was virtually invincible, surpassing what could be countered by skill.

Since high-level matches banned auxiliary systems, Rainbow firmly chose to dominate in the beginner zone, being virtually invincible.

Some people did invite high-level players to challenge him, but it was useless. When Storm Eagle was paired with this system, it was indeed invincible, unless you used the same level of equipment, which was charged daily and not affordable for most people.

Some players who were brutally slaughtered gave Rainbow a nickname: "Cabbage Rainbow."
