I Have A Game Clone #Chapter 297 - 297 Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique and Mission (3) - Read I Have A Game Clone Chapter 297 - 297 Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique and Mission (3) Online - All Page - Novel Usb

After absorbing enough willpower, the sphere evolved into a brain nucleus.

Not only did the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique save the training of emptying the brain and restricting the power of awareness, but the sphere could also automatically absorb the power of awareness during the process of condensing the brain nucleus.

This was the reason why its cultivation speed was fast and there were no bottlenecks.

However, it was also because of this that the coordinates of the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique were spherical. It would not produce any characteristics and would not increase the combat power of the mecha much.

The gap between them became more and more obvious in the later stages.

For example, Yan Yinfei cultivated the Biochemical Meditation Technique to Level 10. He had condensed a total of 20 brain nuclei, and each brain nucleus increased the sensitivity of the biochemical mecha by 10%.

The 20 brain nuclei added together could increase the sensitivity of the biochemical mecha by 200%.

In a mecha battle, a 200% increase in agility was enough to crush other mecha in terms of agility.

This kind of improvement was very important in mecha battles, but the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique did not have such an improvement.

There was no other way. Nothing in the world was perfect. There were gains and losses. There was no such thing as a fast and good meditation technique.

Ning Shi calmly accepted the flaws of the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique because he realized that the effects of cultivating the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique were very good!

When Ning Shi was meditating on the sphere, the three planets in the Yanhuang Small World automatically appeared in his mind.

He didn't need to meditate too much. Everything in the sphere was clear and concrete.

On the 10th day of training in the wild, Yanhuang Small World had accumulated 2000 units of the world's essence power and leveled up again.

[ Name: Yanhuang Small World ]

[ Level: 4 ]

[ World's essence power production rate: 300 units/day ]

[ World's essence power Balance: 0 units ]

[ Upgrade requirements: 100 million trillion tons of any substance, 6000 units of the world's essence power. ]

[ Description: This small world already has three planets. One is the sun, one is the moon, and one is about to give birth to life. ]

After the Yanhuang Small World was upgraded, it had three planets, which provided Ning Shi with specific meditation coordinates.

Without having to go through the tedious process of cultivating the meditation sphere, Ning Shi's progress in cultivating the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique was insane.

Half an hour later, Ning Shi completed the first fusion of the spheres.

A notification came from the game system.

[ Detected that the host is cultivating the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique. The meditation coordinates have been determined. The mecha master profession template has been activated. The main storyline mission is being generated. ]

Ads by Pubfuture

[ Main storyline mission 1: Get at least the top three results in the final exam of the mecha master training course in half a year's time. You'll get the chance to study at the Taining Planet Advanced Mecha Academy. ]

[ Main storyline mission 2: Increase Nico's character intimacy to above 90. Hint: Help Nico guard the forbidden core. You will receive a large amount of intimacy. ]

[ Main storyline mission 3: Join one of the political forces among the three forces of either the Republican Party, the noble forces, and the radioactive people, and completely control that political force. ]

[ Hint: There is no deadline for the completion of the main storyline mission, and the order of completion does not matter. Please complete them as soon as possible. ]

The three main storyline missions, Ning Shi thought about it carefully. They seemed to be unrelated, but in fact, the three missions were closely related.

The first mission to obtain a place to further his studies would definitely win Nico's favor and increase the intimacy between them.

There must be a big shot helping Nico in secret.

From Nico's rejection of the Hilda family's recruitment, it could be seen that the big shot behind him was definitely not a noble force. The radioactive people had raided Orphanage No. 15 and formed a grudge against Nico. Nico would not be a part of the radioactive people's forces.

The answer was obvious. The power behind Nico was definitely the Republican Party.

If Ning Shi wanted to complete the second mission and increase the intimacy between him and Nico, then in the third mission, it seemed that he could choose between the three forces, but in fact, he had no choice.

Ning Shi could only stand on Nico's side and join the Republican Party first.

After browsing through the main storyline mission, Ning Shi also saw two side missions.

[ Side Mission 1: Get ranked the top 50 in the class in the assessment seven days later to guarantee that you won't be eliminated. ]

[ Side Mission 2: Please teach your pet, Ball, the basic meditation technique. ] 𝐧𝑶𝑣𝑬𝑙𝑢𝑆𝒷.𝗰𝑶𝔪

Looking at the second side mission, Ning Shi's face showed a hint of interest. The system had asked him to teach Ball the meditation technique, so there must be a deeper meaning.

Could it be that the game system wanted to nurture Ball into a mecha master?

298 The Path of the Ball (1) 𝒏𝑜𝐯𝓮𝗅𝑈𝓈𝓫.𝒸𝑂𝐦

Ning Shi did not have time to care about Ball for the time being because half an hour had passed and it was almost time for the morning class.

Ye Hongmian picked up a stack of documents and said to Ning Shi, "Student Ning Shi, it's almost time for class. I'll continue teaching you after class."

Ning Shi stood up and said to Ye Hongmian, "Okay, thank you, teacher. I'll go to the classroom with you."

Ye Hongmian did not refuse. The two of them walked out of the office together and walked side by side in the academy.

In terms of age, Ye Hongmian was 13 years older than the avatar in the game. She was two generations older than Ning Shi.

However, Ning Shi's mental age was mature, and his mature temperament concealed the innocence of the clone.

In addition, the avatar had been training in the wild for nearly a month, so his body had long lost its childishness and was full of vigor.

Therefore, when the two of them walked together, they did not look like a teacher and a student at all. They looked more like peers.

Not only did she look like this, but Ning Shi had also always treated Ye Hongmian as someone of the same age and not as an elder.

Ning Shi looked at the documents in Ye Hongmian's hands and casually said, "Teacher Ye, everyone is using electronic devices to record information now. It's rare for people like you to still use paper materials."

Ye Hongmian was holding the materials with both hands, but she could not hide the peaks on her chest. She said softly, "When I'm not in a hurry, I prefer to use pen and paper.

"They are real and have a touch. They can let me feel the content of my job as a teacher."

Ning Shi understood Ye Hongmian's thoughts. In the tide of technological development, there would always be some people who would look for some traditional things as their emotional sustenance.

"Life still needs some beautiful experiences and rituals," he said. "Paper and pen indeed have irreplaceable touch and charm.

"Sometimes, you can only understand the deeper meaning of knowledge when you slow down."

In the environment where Ye Hongmian grew up, she often abandoned electronic products and chose to use paper and pen to record things. Everyone around her saw her as an anomaly.

No one understood her actions.

She did not expect that there would be someone among the students of the origin planet who could express her feelings.

Ye Hongmian looked at Ning Shi and suddenly felt like she had met a soulmate in a foreign land. She smiled lightly and said gently, "As long as you don't find it strange."

Ning Shi pretended to exaggerate and spread his hands. "That's impossible. Paper and pen are important tools in the origin of civilization. They are just like smart electronic products now. They are both tools.

"There is no distinction between advanced and simple tools. It is everyone's freedom to choose what kind of tools they like to use for production or creative activities.

"No one can refute or criticize."

Ning Shi grabbed the pen and paper and chatted with Ye Hongmian for a while. He seized the opportunity to increase Ye Hongmian's favorability.

The two of them walked along the tree-lined path of the academy for ten minutes. Seeing that Academic Building No. 1 was in sight and the large classroom was about to arrive, Ning Shi quickly asked.

"Teacher Ye, do you know what a forbidden mecha and forbidden core are?"

When Ning Shi was checking Scarlet's information, he saw that Scarlet was the owner of the forbidden mecha. From the notification of the second main storyline mission, he also learned that Nico possessed the forbidden core.

Ning Shi searched for relevant information on the AI network and the library, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

The forbidden mecha and the forbidden core were related to the completion of the main storyline mission. Ning Shi had always wanted to obtain relevant information.

Therefore, he took this opportunity to ask Ye Hongmian for advice.

When Ye Hongmian heard Ning Shi's question, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. She did not expect Ning Shi to know about the forbidden mecha.

Ning Shi's good impression of her did not go to waste. Ye Hongmian reached out her fair fingers and brushed her hair which was messed up by the morning wind as she replied gently.

"The forbidden mecha and forbidden core matter are rather sensitive. Although this matter has already been widely spread on certain levels, it's still not good to talk about it in public.

"It's not convenient for me to tell you in detail on the way. I'll send the relevant information to your account in an encrypted form later.

"You can delete it after reading it."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Since Ye Hongmian said so, Ning Shi did not continue to pester her.

The two of them went to the classroom together.

When they saw Ning Shi and the beautiful class teacher walk into the classroom together, all the students revealed shocked expressions.

Including Nico.

No one could figure out the relationship between Ning Shi and Teacher Ye.

In the Norse Republic, for ordinary people, entering an academy was the most important way for them to advance in social class. Therefore, the status of the teachers in the academy was extremely high, and the entire society respected the profession of teachers very much.

Moreover, teachers had great power. They could influence the results of the assessment and affect the future of their students.

Therefore, when the students faced the teachers, they were all trembling with fear and following the rules.

This was also the reason why Zhang Zhenfu, the student recruitment teacher of the City of Armor, had deceived his students so arrogantly. It was because he had used his teacher status to boss others around for many years.

People like Ning Shi, who dared to interact with the teacher as equals, walked into the classroom together with the teacher like good friends.

He was truly an anomaly among anomalies.

Facing the shocked gazes of his classmates, Ning Shi was very calm.

After two classes in the morning, he informed Nico and followed Ye Hongmian out of the classroom to the cafeteria for a meal.

The two of them talked like friends.

Ye Hongmian's personality was more Buddhist. She was incompatible with the atmosphere of her family on Taining Planet, so she came to the origin planet alone to be a teacher.

Report chapter Comments

Although she was mature and could endure loneliness, she also wanted a friend to talk to.

Ning Shi played this role perfectly.

Ning Shi had once been a social animal on Saturn and enjoyed 996 blessings, but he still could not see any hope. He understood the Buddhist culture and the attitude of lying flat.

Through the Eye of Truth, Ning Shi knew Ye Hongmian's indisputable character. Thus, he took the initiative to talk about topics that interested her. He focused on topics like lying flat and living in seclusion. The more Ye Hongmian and Ning Shi talked, the more they got along.

Ye Hongmian had the temperament of a cultured person in her bones. She placed great importance on the spiritual compatibility between friends.

If she met someone who was mentally compatible with her, he or she would immediately become her confidant.

After the meal, Ning Shi could clearly feel that Ye Hongmian had already treated him as a good friend.

It was a pity that Ye Hongmian was not a child of destiny and did not have character intimacy. Otherwise, her character intimacy would have reached at least 70.

However, Ning Shi had already achieved his goal.

Winning Ye Hongmian's favor would provide him with a lot of conveniences in his future studies and development.

After the meal, Ye Hongmian said to Ning Shi, "The afternoon classes are public cultural classes. One is the Chronicle of Mecha Development, and the other is the Universal Language.

"You can study these courses on your own in the future.

"I'll give you a leave of absence for the afternoon class. You can follow me and practice the meditation technique first."

Ning Shi had no objections to Ye Hongmian's arrangements. He did not return to the classroom. Instead, he followed Ye Hongmian and learned the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique.

The Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique was really compatible with Ning Shi. With Ning Shi, the cultivation speed of this meditation technique was brought to the extreme.

At 7 pm, Ning Shi had fused 12 spheres. A crystal that was as shiny as a diamond appeared in his mind.

The first brain nucleus was formed. As long as another brain nucleus was formed, the meditation technique would be considered beginner and reach Level 1.

Ye Hongmian also noticed the change in Ning Shi's willpower. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

"Student Ning Shi, congratulations on condensing a brain nucleus so quickly.

"With such a cultivation speed, it seems that you have a rare perfect fusion aptitude. In this case, it's almost certain that you'll be able to cultivate your meditation technique to Level 2 in six days."

"What is the perfect fusion aptitude?" Ning Shi asked curiously.

Ye Hongmian said with a smile, feeling happy for Ning Shi.

"In the mecha master's cultivation system, the meditation technique is usually chosen according to the characteristics of the mecha. For example, Veronica from the training class, her family could provide her with a Blackbox Mecha, so she chose to cultivate the Blackbox Meditation Technique.

"It is the same for Yan Yinfei. Since his family provided him with a biochemical mecha, he would cultivate the Biochemical Meditation Technique.

"The creator you've always wanted to become is the same. They're not able to create a mecha yet. They'd rather endure the shortcomings of the basic meditation technique and wait for the mecha to be created before choosing a meditation technique based on the characteristics of the mecha.

"Although this choice is mainstream, it is not necessarily correct. 𝑛𝑜𝐯𝐄𝓛𝑈𝓈𝔟.𝒞𝒪𝓂

"Sometimes, it would be better to choose a meditation technique based on the person and then choose a mecha based on the characteristics of the meditation technique.

"In fact, everyone's aptitude is different in terms of compatibility with various meditation techniques. People with perfect fusion aptitude are especially compatible with the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique, and the speed of cultivating the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique is extremely fast."

Ye Hongmian's explanation saved Ning Shi the trouble of explaining how his meditation technique had improved too quickly.

Everything was pushed to the perfect fusion aptitude.

After condensing a brain nucleus, Ning Shi and Ye Hongmian had dinner together and then left.

After returning to the dormitory, Ning Shi continued to cultivate the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique. Finally, at 1 am, he condensed another brain nucleus.

[ Successfully condensed two brain nuclei. The cultivation of the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique is at the beginner level. The current level is the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique Level 1. ]

[ The host can use skill points to level up the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique. Every level from Level 1 to Level 5 requires 1 skill point, every level from Level 6 to Level 10 requires 2 skill points, and every level after Level 10 requires 5 skill points. ]

Seeing the system prompt, Ning Shi was not in a hurry to add points.

He was progressing very quickly in his meditation cultivation, so he did not need to waste his skill points. Anyway, he could add skill points at any time.

Ning Shi had been farming monsters in the wild for half a month. In the beginning, his killing speed was not fast, but as his level increased and his strength became stronger, Ning Shi's killing speed became faster and faster.

In half a month, he had killed more than 5,000 radioactive creatures and obtained more than 30,000,000 experience points.

His butcher profession had increased to Level 28 (3123000/12440000). He had accumulated 10 levels and 10 skill points.

He had used 7 potential points to increase his spiritual power, leaving him with 20 points left.

Ning Shi's Physique had increased by 10 points due to the upgrade, and the meat essence collected by the biochemical technique increased his Physique by 7.5 points. Therefore, Ning Shi's current Physique had reached 47.5 points.

He could totally take on a beginner mecha head-on.

It was precisely because his physique was so strong that Ning Shi had the confidence to not be in a hurry to use his skill points.

As for potential points, Ning Shi had finally found the best way to use them.

[ Detected that the host's Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique has reached Level 1. The game system characteristic fusion template has been activated. Please collect the brain nucleus characteristic as soon as possible.

[ Hint: The brain nucleus characteristic is born from the brain nucleus of a mecha master. The only way to collect brain nucleus characteristics is to kill the mecha master who has condensed a brain nucleus, including trainee and official mecha masters. Then, the game system will absorb the brain nucleus characteristics of the mecha master. ]

Ning Shi looked at the game system's characteristic fusion template. After entering the template, there was a menu bar on the left, and at the top of the menu was Fusion Characteristics.

The menu bar was currently empty.

On the right was the Fusion Menu. By dragging the Fusion Characteristic on the left into the Fusion Menu on the right, one could integrate this characteristic into one's brain.

According to the system's introduction, Fusion Characteristics required potential points. When fusing the first characteristic, it required two potential points.

When fusing the second characteristic, four potential points were needed. And so on, the potential points needed for each additional characteristic would double.

It would indeed consume a lot of potential points, but Ning Shi didn't feel the pinch at all, because this transaction was very cost-effective.

Ning Shi could already foresee that he would be cheating all the way down the path of a mecha master with the characteristic fusion template, coupled with the insane cultivation speed of the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique.

His future combat strength would definitely be stronger than the so-called creator.

An ordinary person's brain only had one characteristic, but Ning Shi could have multiple characteristics at the same time. When multiple characteristics were amplified on the mecha, it could bring out the power of the mecha to a terrifying level.

After cultivating the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique to the beginner level, Ning Shi's heart finally calmed down. He definitely wouldn't be eliminated in the first assessment.

He was also preparing to complete the second side mission, which was to teach the mechanical bird, Ball, the basic meditation technique.

When Ning Shi was outside, Ball would turn into a boxing glove and attach to Ning Shi's left hand. When he returned to his residence and there were no outsiders, it would turn back into its original mechanical bird form and wander around the house to entertain itself. 𝑛𝗈𝓋𝚎𝗅𝗎𝓈𝒷.𝐜𝓞𝑚

"Come here, Ball!" Ning Shi shouted.

Hearing Ning Shi's shout, Ball quickly ran in front of Ning Shi and rubbed its head against Ning Shi's pants.

"Master, Ball is ready to serve you at any time!"

Ever since the last time he raised Ball to Level 14, Ning Shi had not invested any more experience into it.

The main use of Ball was the Scene Scanning skill.

However, after Ball had awakened its energy absorption talent, Ning Shi went to Yuan City to make a deal with Tong Baiming. He used ten Level 3 meat essences to exchange for ten fingernail-sized helium ores.

After handing the ores to the mechanical bird to store and absorb, Ning Shi did not pay any more attention to it.

If it wasn't for the side mission's requirements, Ning Shi would have neglected his mechanical pet during this period of time.

He pulled out the basic meditation technique that he had downloaded from the library of the Norse Republic Academy from his intelligent wristwatch and ordered, "Ball, scan the basic meditation technique information and meditate according to the content of the basic meditation technique. "

"Yes, Master."

After replying, Ball instantly entered the contents of the basic meditation technique into the mechanical brain. With Level 5 information processing skills, Ball immediately understood all the contents of the basic meditation technique.

It folded its wings and stood quietly on the spot. In an instant, it entered a meditative state.

Ning Shi checked the game system's pet module.

[ Your pet, Ball, is currently meditating. It is estimated that it will condense a brain nucleus in 24 hours and cultivate the basic meditation technique to Level 1. ]

The corner of Ning Shi's mouth twitched. He had been cultivating the basic meditation technique for an entire night without making any progress, but Ball had instantly entered a state of mind. It seemed that its mind had completely emptied.

Ning Shi thought for a moment and understood the reason. Ball's consciousness was a simple consciousness born from a group of low-level radioactive creatures. The mechanical bird's consciousness had no distracting thoughts and was very simple.

Therefore, cultivating the basic meditation technique was extremely compatible.

This might be the reason why the system prompted him to teach the mechanical bird the basic meditation technique.

Seeing the speed of Ball's meditation technique cultivation, Ning Shi had a flash of inspiration.

Perhaps he could try to nurture Ball into the strongest mecha master, the creator. By then, he would be a mecha master, and the pet he nurtured would also be a mecha master.

Double combat strength was very enticing.

Or perhaps, he could nurture Ball into something like a forbidden mecha.

Ning Shi had already checked the information Ye Hongmian had sent him regarding the forbidden mecha and knew the whole story.

The mechanical bird itself was a mechanical lifeform, and it had the ability to transform.

Then one day, Ball could also become a mecha with its own consciousness.

A new forbidden mecha would be born in Ning Shi's hands.

Ball could develop either way. Ning Shi thought about it for a while, but he didn't choose either.

Only children made choices. Of course, adults wanted everything.

Ball could become a creator or a forbidden mecha. The two did not conflict.

Ning Shi was confident that a terrifying mechanical life would grow healthily under his nurturing!

301 Assessment (1)

This was because the mechanical bird Ball had the powerful computing ability of a mechanical life and an extremely abnormal talent.

[ Energy Absorption (blue): The mechanical body can absorb the energy of the helium ore at a slow speed to strengthen its helium core. ]

With this energy absorption talent, Ball had the ability to combine parts into a whole, and the helium core in its body would continue to grow.

The potential for future development was endless.

Ball had 5 skill points left. Since he wanted to make it a creator, he had to research the ability to create.

Ning Shi spent 4 skill points to upgrade Ball's information processing skill to Level 7.

He thought of the basic biochemical cultivation fluid formula that the system had rewarded him with when he completed the mission.

Ning Shi handed the biochemical cultivation fluid formula to Ball. He planned to gather some funds to buy equipment on the academy's online trading platform and build an independent research and production room in the basement of the bungalow.

He asked Ball to produce the basic biochemical culture fluid.

After planning his next move, Ning Shi saw that Ball was still meditating. He did not sleep and meditated for another night.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Ning Shi felt that a new brain nucleus was forming in his mind. Perhaps after meditating for half a day, he would be able to condense another brain nucleus.

At this rate, Ning Shi could save up on his skill point first.

This morning's class was still Ye Hongmian's mecha piloting class. Mecha piloting and practical operations were one of the three major subjects of the assessment. Moreover, they were considered top-notch courses that could not be learned anywhere else.

Ning Shi would definitely not skip class.

He brought Ball which had turned into a boxing glove to class and requested that Ball also learn mecha piloting lessons.

After the morning class ended, Ning Shi hurriedly finished his meal and went to the meditation room. He wanted to experience the effects of the meditation room.

The meditation room was free for all students to experience for half an hour.

After entering, Ning Shi realized that there was nothing special about the meditation room.

The main function was to use technological means to create an immersive experience, allowing students to visualize the meditation coordinates more specifically and realistically. 𝚗𝒐𝚟𝑒𝑳𝗎𝚜𝒷.𝗰𝔬𝓂

This was to increase the efficiency of the students' meditation.

For other students, the meditation room could increase the speed of meditation by about 50%, but for Ning Shi, his meditation coordinate, the sphere, was in his body.

There was no need for the meditation room's equipment to assist him.

Ning Shi directly sold his 20 hours of the meditation room cultivation time this month on the academy's online trading platform. One hour was sold for 100,000 origin coins.

He exchanged his meditation room cultivation time for 2 million origin coins.

After listening to Ye Hongmian's explanation, Ning Shi knew that using biopharmaceuticals to promote meditation would easily cause his foundation to be unstable, so he sold the three bottles of intermediate biopharmaceuticals.

The price of a bottle was 800,000 origin coins, which was 2.4 million origin coins.

Adding on the scholarship of 5 million origin coins and the funds obtained from selling the radioactive creatures, Ning Shi currently had about 10 million origin coins on hand.

It was enough to purchase some basic research equipment.

Ning Shi used this money to purchase various scientific research equipment on the AI network trading platform. He set out to set up a scientific research production room and began to learn how to make mecha.

10 million origin coins might seem like a lot, but when it came to the black hole of manufacturing mechas, it would not be able to cause any ripples.

Ning Shi had just bought some basic equipment when he ran out of money and became a pauper.

"I still have more than 5000 portions of radioactive creature materials in my backpack. I should be able to get a lot of money if I sell them, but I can't sell them now.

"After the production room is set up, we'll sort these materials and make sure that we can sell the materials that we don't need."

After settling the usage time of the meditation room and the intermediate biopharmaceuticals, Ning Shi's remaining enrollment benefits only included practical mecha training of 30 hours per week.

Ning Shi did not plan to sell the practical mecha training hours. This was because the academy only had a total of five mechas for the training class. There were very few opportunities for practical training, so this time was very precious.

After three days of theory classes, Ye Hongmian would be leading the class for a live practical mecha training the next morning.

After finishing this course, Ning Shi could use his own benefits to enter mecha practical training and improve his mecha piloting skills.

The afternoon class was Lu Zijian's meditation technique guidance class. Ning Shi chose to skip class and ran to Ye Hongmian's office. Ye Hongmian guided him in the cultivation of the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique alone.

By now, all the students in the class knew that Ning Shi and Ye Hongmian had a special relationship. He was able to receive private tutoring from the beautiful class teacher.

Everyone was very envious, but because of the class teacher's dignity, no one dared to gossip.

Ning Shi also enjoyed his current life. It was busy and fulfilling. He relied on his own hard work to learn knowledge and master strength. Although it wasn't as fast as killing monsters to level up, he still had a sense of security from working hard to improve.

And every day, there was an incomparably beautiful class teacher accompanying him.

Under Ye Hongmian's care, Ning Shi had actually become a privileged student of this year's mecha master training course. His life was extremely comfortable.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Without using any skill points, Ning Shi managed to cultivate the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique to Level 3.

After 30 hours of practical training, he had finally mastered the basics of mecha piloting. Ning Shi's current character information was as follows.

[ Game Avatar: Ning Shi ]

[ Physique: 47.5 ]

[ Spiritual Power: 20 ]

[ Appearance: 8 (Handsome) ]

[ Family background: 3 (commoner orphan) ]

302 Assessment (2)

[ Profession: Butcher Level 28 (3123000/12440000)/mecha master Level 1 (0/10000) ]

[ Skills: Biochemical technique Level l 7, slaughtering technique Level 6, Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique Level l 3, Mecha Piloting Level l 1 ]

[ Brain characteristics: None. ]

[ Talent: Learning (Gold), Endurance (Purple), shapeless phantom (Purple), Purification (Purple), Heavy Strike (Purple) ]

[ Achievement: None ]

[ Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique Level 3: An advanced meditation technique that has reached Level 3. The meditation will produce six brain nuclei without any characteristics. It can barely pilot most models of mecha. ]

[ Mecha Piloting Level 1: Beginner's mecha piloting skills. Begins to learn how to use the willpower of the brain nucleus to make the mecha raise its arm. ]

[ Heavy Strike (Purple): When using heavy weapons, damage increases by 200%, and there is a certain chance to cause the enemy to fall into a stunned state. ]

The Heavy Strike talent was the same as Purification. It was a talent that Ning Shi had awakened after farming monsters for half a month.

Ning Shi's spiritual force had reached 20 points because the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique had reached Level 3, increasing Ning Shi's Spiritual Power by 3 points.

According to the system notification, a mecha master's level could be increased by experience points. However, the increase in level would not give attribute points, especially an increase in spiritual power.

Only skill points and potential points were awarded.

This was because the mecha master profession was very special. The spiritual power cultivated by this profession was entirely used to operate mecha.

Therefore, the best way to increase one's spiritual power was to increase the level of one's meditation technique.

For example, Ye Hongmian had 48 points of spiritual power.

With such high spiritual power, Hao Meng or Ilya would be a Spiritual Power Overlord or a Soul Perception Master.

With the various magical abilities brought about by spiritual power, they could cause great damage.

However, Ye Hongmian's spiritual power did not have any direct offensive power. Only by piloting the mecha could her spiritual power be perfectly unleashed.

This was the specialty of mecha masters.

All of their spiritual power was converted into brain nuclei, all for the sake of better piloting the mecha.

If the game system also increased Ning Shi's spiritual power after upgrading, it would not be a good thing for Ning Shi to pilot the mecha. Spiritual power was not equal to the brain nucleus. With high spiritual power, it would be more difficult to condense the brain nucleus.

Therefore, the increase in spiritual power brought about by the leveling up of meditation techniques was the most scientific.

The meditation technique was the core skill of a mecha master. The system had already informed Ning Shi that the level of a mecha master was limited by the level of meditation.

Even if he had enough experience points, if his meditation technique level was not high enough, he would not be able to level up his mecha master profession.

It was the same for the mecha piloting skill. Due to the limitations of the meditation technique, the mecha piloting skill could never be of a higher level than the meditation technique.

This was because the meditation technique was the foundation of mecha piloting.

Today was the first assessment of the training class. In order to ensure that he passed the assessment and was not eliminated, Ning Shi did not save any skill points.

[ Are you sure you want to spend 2 skill points to level up Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique to Level 5? Yes, No ]

Ning Shi chose yes.

[ Consumed 2 skill points, Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique leveled up to Level 5, number of brain nuclei 4, Spiritual Power 2. ]

[ Do you confirm that you will consume 2 skill points to upgrade your mecha piloting to Level 3? Yes, No ]

[ Consumed 2 Skill Points. Mech piloting level increased to Level 3. ]

[ Mech Piloting Level 3: Gradually become familiar with mecha piloting skills. You can use the willpower of your brain to make the mecha perform the prescribed jumping movements. ]

After spending 4 skill points, Ning Shi's meditation technique rose to Level 5, and his mecha piloting skill rose to Level 3. He stopped leveling up.

This was because this skill level was enough.

Out of the 55 students in the training class, Ning Shi used his Eye of Truth to inspect them. 21 of them had meditation techniques below Level 5, and 19 of them had mecha piloting skills below Level 3.

Ning Shi's current skill level had already reached the middle level of the training class.

He could already guarantee that he would get an average score in the practical mecha training and meditation technique assessment.

As for the written test for cultural studies, Ning Shi had originally planned to ask the game system for help. Last night, Ning Shi borrowed various course books from the online library.

It was recorded in the system and the mechanical bird's brain.

He planned to use them to cheat.

Unexpectedly, Ye Hongmian called him to her office early in the morning.

"This is the content of today's written test. I stole a glance last night and memorized it all. I'll also help you fill in the answers. Hurry up and memorize them."

Seeing Ning Shi's surprised expression, Ye Hongmian's fair face flushed red. She lowered her head and explained, "I just don't want to see you get eliminated. It's too unfair to you. Don't think too much about it."

Ning Shi knew what Ye Hongmian was thinking. It was not easy for her to meet a friend she could talk to on the origin planet, so she did not want Ning Shi to be eliminated.

It wasn't that she had any special feelings for Ning Shi. 𝗇𝑶𝒱𝓔𝒍𝗎𝒮𝓫.𝑪𝒐𝓂

Ning Shi was not so narcissistic as to think that Ye Hongmian had fallen in love with him.

He was only surprised by Ye Hongmian's actions. He did not expect Ye Hongmian, as a teacher, to be willing to help her student cheat in his assessment.

He did not act pretentious and took the letter from Ye Hongmian.

"Thank you, teacher. Thank you for upholding justice for me. You should also know that someone is targeting me by setting the assessment to be on the seventh day of admission."

Ye Hongmian was a good teacher. Ning Shi did not want her to feel guilty, so he told her about Zhang Zhenfu threatening him and how Pang Yuanqing's Admissions Office was targeting him.

303 Assessment (3)

"Originally, this year's mecha master training course was only recruiting 30 people. Because of the quota for further studies, the student recruitment office wanted to make use of this opportunity to increase the number to 55 people.

"I've observed the strength of the students. Those who are eliminated in this assessment are all those who bought the spots through connections."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Ye Hongmian felt a little better. Although she cheated to help her friend Ning Shi fight against injustice, it also caused unfairness to the other students.

Ye Hongmian stole the questions for Ning Shi, and she was also under a lot of pressure.

After comforting Ye Hongmian, Ning Shi memorized the questions and answers on the spot. Then, he burned the letter.

With Ye Hongmian's help, he could easily get full marks on the written test.

It had to be said that after Ning Shi obtained the game system, the biggest trick he learned from the game system was to make friends with key people.

In the World of Moen, the game system guided Ning Shi to befriend Lena and recruit Snow Fog. In the Titanium Pole World, it guided Ning Shi to befriend Nico.

Ning Shi was already used to this behavior, so he deliberately befriended Ye Hongmian and achieved very good results.

The morning test was held in the large classroom. The meditation technique assessment was held from 8:30 to 9:30, and the written test was held from 9:45 to 11:45 for two hours.

After memorizing the questions, Ning Shi went to the classroom with Ye Hongmian as usual.

All the students in the classroom had already arrived. The vice president of the class, old man Joaquin, who was in charge of the assessment, was already standing on the podium with a serious expression. 𝗇𝑶𝒱𝓔𝒍𝗎𝒮𝓫.𝑪𝒐𝓂

Seeing that Ning Shi and Ye Hongmian were walking very close to each other, a strange look flashed across Joaquin's eyes.

He pretended to wait on the podium for five minutes, then looked at the gold-rimmed watch on his wrist and announced in a sharp voice, "Time's up. The first part of the assessment, the Meditation Technique Level Assessment, has just begun. "

There was a helmet on every seat in the classroom.

After Joaquin announced the start of the assessment, all the students picked up their helmets and put them on.

Then, he leaned back in his chair and began to enter a meditative state.

The students had to wear a helmet to meditate. The helmet would collect and analyze the willpower fluctuations produced during meditation, and then test everyone's meditation level.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, they meditated for up to an hour while wearing the helmet.

Ning Shi was not nervous at all. After he put on the helmet, he began to visualize Ball in his mind like he usually did.

As he meditated, the 10 brain nuclei in his mind began to emit Willpower fluctuations, which were sensed by the helmet.

One hour later, the test ended.

The big screen showed everyone's results.

1st place: Scarlet, meditation technique Level: 12;

2nd place: Yan Yinfei, meditation technique Level: 10;

3rd place: Veronica, meditation technique Level: 8;

4th Gong Weihe, meditation technique Level: 8;

5th place Nico, meditation technique Level: 7;

…

#27 Ning Shi, meditation technique Level: 5;

…

When the test results came out, everyone had different reactions.

The first place, Scarlet, looked calm. He felt everyone's shocked gazes and pretended to be cool. In fact, he was very happy. The second place, Yan Yinfei, was very surprised. He always thought that he was the strongest student in the training class.

He did not expect that there was actually someone stronger than him.

In a trance, he remembered what Ning Shi had said to him before, "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this training class."

This was the first time in his life that he had met someone stronger than him. Yan Yinfei felt pressured.

As for Nico, his face was filled with joy. He looked at Ning Shi and said with a smile, "Ning Shi, is this the result of your special training with Teacher Ye?

"It is unbelievable!

"Seven days, in just seven days, your meditation technique has reached Level 5!"

Even Ye Hongmian was shocked by Ning Shi's improvement speed. She thought that Ning Shi's meditation technique was around Level 2-3, but she did not expect him to reach Level 5.

One had to know that the higher the meditation technique was, the more difficult it was to cultivate.

Ning Shi smiled and explained, "In order not to be eliminated, I cultivated the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique. It just so happens that I have the perfect fusion aptitude, so my cultivation speed is very fast."

Nico did not know about the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique, but his teacher, Muraka, knew about it.

"This Ning Shi is really heartless. He chose to cultivate the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique in such a hurry." Muraka immediately told Nico.

"Teacher, isn't the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique good?" Nico asked in his mind.

Muraka laughed and said mockingly, "The Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique is easy to cultivate and can be advanced quickly. However, the condensed brain nucleus has no special characteristics.

"In a mecha master battle, a powerful mecha master can fight against ten mecha masters who cultivate the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique.

"If one cultivates this meditation technique, they will forever lose the chance to climb to the peak.

"Geniuses with a bit of ambition wouldn't choose to cultivate the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique."

Hearing Muraka's words, Nico felt pity for Ning Shi but he did not look down on him.

Not only did he not look down on him, he even admired him.

In his opinion, Ning Shi, a person with zero foundation, was able to cultivate his meditation technique to Level 5 in seven days and pass the meditation technique assessment. This was already a miraculous achievement.

He couldn't ask for more.

[ Nico is shocked by the host's cultivation speed. He is impressed by the miracle that the host has created. Character intimacy 2. Current character intimacy is 68. ]

...

Ning Shi had inadvertently increased Nico's favorability. He believed that after the test results were out, Ye Hongmian's favorability would also increase. It was just that there was no indication of intimacy.

When the test results were out, the classroom was buzzing with excitement.

Joaquin did not stop him. He only frowned as he looked at Ning Shi's results. Although he was surprised, he was still confident. After all, there were still two more tests to take.

Especially the written test for cultural studies. He had heard that Ning Shi had skipped all his cultural studies.

15 minutes later, Joaquin gave the order, and the classroom instantly fell silent.

The written test officially began.

Report chapter Comments

All the students turned on their smart wristwatches, logged into the official examination system of the academy, and began to answer the questions seriously.

Although the light screen of the smart wristwatch was projected in front of every student, if the students in the back row had an idea, they could see the answer of the students in the front row.

But no one did that.

On one hand, there were not only teachers keeping an eye on the examination hall but there was also 360-degree surveillance equipment. Cheating like this was equivalent to destroying one's future. On the other hand, the written examination had a large number of questions. One had to race against time to answer them. If one spent even a little effort to plagiarize, one would not be able to finish the rest of the questions.

When Ning Shi saw the contents of the exam questions, which were exactly the same as what Ye Hongmian had given him, he immediately calmed down.

He began to answer the questions at a moderate pace.

Two hours later, Ning Shi handed in his paper.

The scores were handed over to the intelligent examination system to be determined, and the results were out on the spot.

300 points, full marks.

Looking at the score displayed on the smart wristwatch, Ning Shi did not have any fluctuations in his heart. After all, it was a score obtained by cheating. There was nothing to be proud of.

After about 30 seconds, the big screen in the classroom showed the scores and rankings of all the students.

1st place: Scarlet, Veronica, Nico, Ning Shi, Xiong Haide, Yu Zilun, 6 people tied, results: 300 points.

7th place: Gong Weihe, Hai Zi, Ku Ke, Tian Qing, 4 people tied, results: 299 points.

11th place: Yan Yinfei, Hu Haiquan, and Tie Mulan, tied for 298 points.

When the results were out, Nico could not hide the smile on his face. It was not only because he had obtained full marks, but also because Ning Shi had also obtained full marks.

He was ranked first in the written test for cultural studies, and with his meditation technique ranking at 27th, Ning Shi's overall ranking was now at 15th place. As long as he did not encounter any extreme situations while piloting a mecha, he was basically stable and would not be eliminated.

Nico was genuinely happy for Ning Shi. However, Joaquin's expression had turned ugly.

He had received a large sum of money, and he had even guaranteed in front of Vice Principal Pang Yuanqing that he would definitely eliminate Ning Shi.

He did not expect Ning Shi, this kid, to be able to survive a desperate situation. His results after two rounds of examinations were actually very good.

Joaquin glanced at Ye Hongmian, who was beaming with joy. He had already thought of an excuse to explain to Pang Yuanqing.

"It's all because of Ye Hongmian's help that Ning Shi was not eliminated. I, Joaquin, am only an assistant teacher. I can't beat the class teacher. I've done what I should. As for the result, I didn't want it to be like this."

Ye Hongmian was the representative of Taining Planet, and her status on the origin planet was extremely special. Pang Yuanqing could not afford to offend her. This way, the matter with Ning Shi would most likely be left unsettled.

Joaquin thought of a countermeasure in an instant and said, "Alright, the morning assessment is over. The afternoon assessment will be held on the independent field at 2 o'clock.

"The students who ranked in the bottom five in the morning have to work hard in the afternoon. Otherwise, you'll have to pack your things and leave the university."

After speaking, Joaquin placed his hands behind his back and walked out of the classroom.

There was a two-hour break in the afternoon. Ning Shi did not eat with Ye Hongmian or Nico. Instead, he went straight to the canteen to pack some food and rushed back to his dormitory.

After dinner, Ning Shi went to the basement of the villa.

The basement was originally a place to store junk. After Ning Shi asked the auntie to help clean it up, he placed all the equipment he bought there.

At this moment, the basement had been transformed into a simple scientific research production room. 𝚗𝒐𝚟𝑒𝑳𝗎𝚜𝒷.𝗰𝔬𝓂

The reason why Ning Shi was in a hurry to come back was that according to the time, the first batch of basic biochemical cultivation fluid would be produced at noon today.

When they reached the basement, Ball fell from Ning Shi's hand and turned into a robot. It walked to an oval black cultivation chamber.

After observing the hatch for a few seconds, he pressed a few buttons on the hatch.

Click!

The hatch opened from the top to both sides. Inside the cultivation chamber, there were about 100 liters of red liquid.

The red liquid looked a little like human blood. Upon closer inspection, there were tadpole-like creatures swimming in the liquid.

"Master, the basic biochemical cultivation fluid has been produced. The total cost of the various materials consumed for this production is 235,000 origin coins, and the basic biochemical cultivation fluid obtained is 101 liters.

"We can soak all kinds of biochemical materials in liquid to obtain ordinary biochemical cell units.

"According to the preliminary estimation, the cell conversion rate of biochemical materials from ordinary animals is 10%, that of Level 1 radioactive creatures is 50%, and that of Level 2 radioactive creatures is 100%.

"It's not recommended to use biochemical materials from Level 3 radioactive creatures. It's a waste to use them in the basic biochemical cultivation fluid."

Ning Shi heard Ball's analysis and immediately said, "Use the biochemical materials of a Level 2 radioactive creature."

Ball received the order and went to the material room in the production room to take out some biochemical materials of Level 2 radioactive creatures, such as the wolf skin of the green-eyed wolf and the teeth of the grassland hyena.

He threw these biochemical materials into the basic biochemical cultivation fluid. After these materials entered the red liquid, they quickly melted like burning candles.

After a while, the red liquid became extremely thick, and its color changed from bright red to dark red, and finally to black.

"Master," said Ball, "The ordinary biochemical cells have been cultivated. There are a total of 101,000 units. Do you want to store them in the cell freezer?"

Ning Shi had downloaded a lot of books and information from the AI network library these days and transferred them all to Ball, creating a relatively small database in Ball's brain.

Report chapter Comments

Ball's current knowledge reserves far exceeded Ning Shi's, so Ning Shi asked, "What is the use of these ordinary biochemical cells now?"

"Ordinary biochemical cells are one of the basic materials for making biochemical mechas," replied Ball. "A beginner biochemical mecha requires at least a billion units of ordinary biochemical cells.

"These ordinary biochemical cells are temporarily useless, so we can only store them for now."

When Ning Shi heard that Ball's answer was related to mecha manufacturing, he was immediately interested. The information he transmitted to Ball included all aspects, so Ning Shi did not know what level Ball's database was at now.

"Ball, have you mastered the technology to make mechas?" Ning Shi asked tentatively.

Ball shook its shiny silver head and said, "Master, I have information about mecha manufacturing in my database. I can create some mecha modules.

"However, the key design blueprints and power cores are missing, so I cannot create any mechas.

"If Master can give me the relevant data and information, as well as provide me with the resources and manufacturing platform to manufacture mechas, I'm confident that I can manufacture mechas."

Seeing Ning Shi's disappointed expression, Ball comforted him, "Master, don't worry. I'll definitely help you build the most powerful mecha.

"We've already made a good start by creating ordinary biochemical cells."

Ning Shi smiled when he heard what Ball said. He rubbed its smooth head with his palm.

"Work hard, Ball. We will definitely create top-grade mechas. When the time comes, you and I will have one each.

"Let's start with the biochemical mecha.

"What do I need to provide you with?"

The electronic eyes of Ball flashed and replied, "The creation of biochemical mechas first requires the cultivation of a large number of biochemical cells. Biochemical cells are divided into ordinary biochemical cells, elite biochemical cells, hero biochemical cells, and mythological biochemical cells. Among them, mythological cells are the most powerful.

"However, the more powerful the cells, the better for mecha manufacturing. The more powerful the biochemical cells, the more active and unstable they will be. It would be more difficult to create a mecha, and other cells would be needed to assist.

"The body of a powerful biochemical mecha must have a combination of various biochemical cells. The ratio of various biochemical cells is called the biochemical material formula in the biochemical mecha manufacturing world.

"It is similar to the alloy material formula.

"The first thing we have to do is to produce enough biochemical cells. Then, through our own experiments and the collection of experimental data from other institutions, we will develop a powerful biochemical material formula.

"Then, we will produce enough biochemical materials according to the formula.

"After we have the materials for the mecha, we can consider the design of the mecha and the manufacture of the helium power core."

With Ball's analysis, Ning Shi indeed had a direction.

However, he and Ball wanted to build a mecha. They lacked resources and technology.

No wonder the system's main storyline mission required him to join and control a faction.

Without the help of a faction, it was indeed difficult to develop mecha research and manufacturing.

Ning Shi spent more than 200,000 origin coins to create the basic biochemical cultivation fluid. He had also invested nearly a million origin coins worth of biochemical materials into the cultivation fluid to obtain 101,000 units of ordinary biochemical cells.

A biochemical mecha required at least one billion units of ordinary biochemical cells. The cost of this alone was as high as ten billion. There were even more expensive elite cells, hero cells, mythological cells, as well as the most expensive helium power core.

It was indeed difficult for Ning Shi to build a mecha on his own. 𝐍𝓞𝑽𝑒𝐿𝔲𝓈𝚋.𝔠𝒐𝗆

However, Ning Shi did not stop Ball's research. The process of research and production was to accumulate experience and data.

"We'll do as you said. Store these cells in the freezer. There are thousands of biochemical materials in the warehouse. When you have time, do a classification and separate the ones that we don't need. I'll sell them. "

Ning Shi instructed.

Ball received the order and went to pack up.

Ning Shi stayed in the production room for a while. Seeing that it was almost time for the exam, he left Ball in the production room to study and went to the independent field alone.

The independent field occupied a huge area of hundreds of thousands of square meters.

The ground of the entire field was paved with pseudo-alloy materials. Pseudo-alloy was a kind of material that was made by mixing a lot of cheap stone materials with real alloys.

Because this material was mixed with a lot of stone, its malleability and toughness were relatively poor, but its hardness was sufficient, and the cost of manufacturing was also greatly reduced.

It was widely used in the parking lot of various warships and mechas.

As the independent field was one of the places where the mecha of the Norse Republic Academy operated, the ground was paved with pseudo-alloy. It was sturdy and very flat.

On the field, the tri-colored striped flag fluttered in the wind. Beside the flagpole, a mecha about 50 meters tall stood majestically.

Under the afternoon sun, the surface of the mecha shone with blue and white light.

Ning Shi could see at a glance that at the left and right arms of this mecha, there were two cannon barrels with a diameter of more than two meters.

At the end of the barrel was a ferocious tiger head.

This was a beginner mecha, a long-range attack mecha produced by the Norse Republic Academy. It was called the Tiger Cannon Mecha.

Ning Shi saw Nico standing in the corner of the student gathering point from afar and quickly walked to Nico's side.

Nico was now completely convinced that his bad luck would not affect Ning Shi. Hence, when he saw Ning Shi walking over, he did not deliberately put some distance between them.

He greeted Ning Shi and said, "Are you confident in piloting the mecha this afternoon? With your results for the two exams in the morning, the chances of you being eliminated are very small. Don't force yourself in the afternoon exam, just complete one of the three required movements."

Ning Shi replied with a smile. "I know. Using too much strength in operating a mecha can easily cause the consequences of a collapse of willpower. I will do my best."

Nico's lips curled into a smile. His handsome face shone brightly under the sunlight. A few of his classmates were stunned.

He didn't notice the charm that he had unintentionally emitted. Instead, he said to Ning Shi, "Tomorrow is a day off. Do you have any plans?

"If you have no arrangements, my teacher will come tomorrow to teach me mecha combat alone. You can study with me."

After saying this, Nico paused for a moment. He tilted his head and whispered to Ning Shi, "My teacher is the true God of War Wu Yisheng. You should have heard of his name."

Ning Shi had heard of Wu Yisheng's name before. He was the most powerful mecha master in the Norse Republic Academy and was very good at mecha combat.

To be able to learn mecha combat techniques from such a person, he would definitely benefit greatly.

However, Ning Shi had other plans tomorrow. He had to go to the wilderness of Norse City to hunt and farm monsters to gain experience points. He wanted to level up his mecha master profession and level up the character level of Ball.

...

Therefore, he could only regretfully refuse. "Nico, I plan to go out of the city tomorrow. You know that I am also a butcher. I need to go out into the wild to train my body."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Nico did not force him.

On the other hand, Teacher Muraka, who was inside Nico's intelligent wristwatch, mocked once again.

"Nico, I'm begging you. Please don't waste your energy on Ning Shi, that mediocre person. Wu Yisheng's mecha combat skills are not the slightest bit inferior to those of the strongest mecha warriors in interstellar space.

"You begged Wu Yisheng for so long to get such a rare learning opportunity for Ning Shi, and he actually gave it up!

"The reason is that he still has to be a butcher and train his body in the wild!

"Why are you still entangled with this kind of fool?"

Nico ignored Muraka's nagging and did not answer her.

Muraka felt bored and muttered a few more words before she stopped talking.

At 1:55 PM, when all the students had arrived, Joaquin walked to the flag platform and said loudly, "To ensure fairness, everyone will be using the same mecha for this mecha practical test.

"It's this Tiger Cannon Mecha beside me.

...

"The content of the exam was sent to your accounts at noon, so everyone should already know it.

"Out of the three movements, the first one is running on the ground, which is 10 points, the second one is sliding to block the gun, which is 15 points, and the third one is flipping in the air, which is 25 points.

"After the actions are completed, the AI judge will give the score to ensure fairness.

"Let me emphasize discipline once again. When the students undergoing the assessment operate the mecha, the others must stand within a safe area and not move around randomly.

"This was to prevent accidents from happening due to mistakes in mecha control.

"Alright, the first contestant, Veronica."

Report chapter Comments

Veronica walked in front of the Tiger Cannon Mecha. A ray of light flashed across the chest of the Tiger Cannon Mecha and shone on Veronica.

Suddenly, Veronica's figure disappeared, and in the next second, she had already entered the mecha cockpit.

She piloted the mecha and began to run at a constant speed on the ground. The mecha's running posture was coordinated, and its steps were steady. The AI judge immediately gave a full score of 10 points.

Then, the mecha began to sprint. After its speed was so fast that it was a little blurry, the mecha spread its legs and began to slide. The Tiger Cannon on its arm was also raised.

Although she had done the sliding step to block the gun, the angle of the gun was not straight enough, and the sliding step posture was also very forced. The AI judge only gave her 6 points.

As for the third maneuver, Veronica only managed to fly the Tiger Cannon Mecha two meters above the ground. She was unable to continue and only got two points in the end.

Her total score was 18 points. This was already a very high score because other than Yan Yinfei and Scarlet, everyone else in the training class was a Trainee Mecha Master.

Her brain's willpower was limited, and her piloting skills weren't proficient either. She had only just begun to operate the mecha.

Furthermore, during the assessment, the Tiger Cannon Mecha turned off its AI support system.

The students could only rely on their willpower to control the huge mecha. The difficulty index was extremely high.

As time passed, the students in the class appeared one by one. Only Yan Yinfei and Scarlet completed three movements perfectly and got full marks.

The rest of the students did not score more than 20 points.

Ning Shi was the 51st to go on stage. After he sat in the mecha cockpit, he felt himself being wrapped up by the soft substance in the cockpit.

It felt like a baby returning to its mother's womb.

The truth was that Ning Shi's entire body was covered in a layer of black substance in the cockpit. This black substance was called the mecha's neurons.

It could allow the pilot's nervous system to better extend to the entire mecha.

Ning Shi followed Ye Hongmian's instructions on mecha piloting and released the willpower in his brain into the mecha's power room, driving the mecha with great difficulty.

His willpower was insufficient, so he could only use the power room to operate the mecha. He could not cover the entire mecha's body and allow it to move freely.

When Ning Shi piloted the mecha, he felt like a five-year-old child lifting a heavy hammer. It was extremely difficult.

It was also as if his body was seriously ill and it was difficult for him to walk.

However, Ning Shi still endured the discomfort and performed the ground running and sliding steps to block the gun. The first move got 8 points, and the second move only got 4 points.

With a total score of 12 points, he was ranked 29th.

His results in mecha piloting were not particularly good, but after calculating the total results of the three assessments, Ning Shi's class ranking was 21st.

It was an upper-middle result. 𝐍𝑂𝓋𝐄𝐥𝓊𝗌𝔟.𝗰𝒐𝚖

He would not be eliminated.

Joaquin had already expected this outcome. Seeing Ning Shi's results, he didn't lose his composure. During lunch, he reported this matter to Pang Yuanqing.

He had only accepted the money to carry out Pang Yuanqing's request. As for the result of the matter being unsatisfactory, Joaquin didn't care that much.

Although if this matter was not done well, Pang Yuanqing would have a problem with him. In the future, there would be fewer people looking for him to do things.

However, to Joaquin, he was one of the most experienced teachers in the academy, so he wasn't afraid of Pang Yuanqing.

Furthermore, Joaquin could also tell that this Ning Shi was not simple. An orphan with zero foundation and no background was able to obtain 21st place in the assessment in just seven days.

Ning Shi's performance was also considered a seed-level genius. He was qualified to compete for a place to further his studies.

Joaquin wouldn't make a death feud with such a genius, so he didn't do any tricks and announced the results according to the official procedure.

The last five students were eliminated.

After the assessment, the holidays would begin. Ning Shi had planned to treat Nico and Ye Hongmian to a meal to thank them for their help.

Nico said, "I'm sorry, Ning Shi. Teacher is already waiting for me. I have to go for extra training. Let's meet another day."

As a hot shot, the burden on Nico's shoulders was very heavy. Ning Shi understood very well.

"It's okay. Go train. There's still a long way to go."

After Nico left, Ning Shi went to find Ye Hongmian. The two of them walked towards the residential area, planning to go to the commercial street in the residential area for a big meal.

As soon as he walked out of the field, he was stopped by Yan Yinfei.

Yan Yinfei's face was full of self-doubt as he said to Ning Shi, "Senior Brother, I feel like there's something wrong with my mentality. I want your help.

"Can I have a meal and chat with you?"

Ning Shi wanted to spend some time alone with Ye Hongmian. He had only invited Nico out of politeness.

He did not want his junior brother to be a third wheel, so he said, "Junior brother, if you have anything to say, you can say it now. I have an appointment with Teacher Ye. Next time, let's have a meal together alone."

Yan Yinfei didn't really want to eat with Ning Shi. He mainly wanted to solve his psychological problems.

The three of them found a place under the shade of a tree. Yan Yinfei opened his mouth but didn't say anything, as if he found it difficult to speak.

Ning Shi understood and said to Ye Hongmian, "Teacher Ye, why don't you wait for me at the platform first? I'll come and find you in a while."

Ye Hongmian smiled and nodded before leaving.

"Junior Brother, just say it. We're fellow disciples from the same sect. You can treat me as a senior brother." Was it because the test results were out and he was only in second place? Was he feeling uncomfortable?

Report chapter Comments

"This assessment is just a temporary test. The training class has gathered all the geniuses on the origin planet. It's normal to meet people of the same age who are stronger than you. You should straighten your attitude and continue to work hard."

Ning Shi thought that Yan Yinfei couldn't accept second place in a short time. He thought that this was just the pretentiousness of a genius youth, so he comforted him a little.

But Yan Yinfei shook his head and said to Ning Shi with a strange expression, "Senior brother, it's not about the results. I believe that with my talent, I will surpass Scarlet sooner or later."

"What's the problem then?" Ning Shi asked in confusion.

Yan Yinfei stammered, "I… I doubt my sex… There's a problem with my sexual orientation. I think I like… It's too strange that I like men. I obviously like to watch beautiful women, and I secretly watched a few romantic action movies last night. I had feelings from that."

This was a big deal. For the heir of a big family like Yan Yinfei, it was a very important responsibility to carry on the family line. If his sexual orientation was not correct, he would be criticized by his family. No wonder he was so conflicted.

Ning Shi could tell at a glance that Yan Yinfei was not kidding. When he mentioned that he liked men, his face was filled with disgust. He was really confused.

"Who do you like?" he asked directly.

Yan Yinfei didn't hesitate anymore but said as if he had accepted his fate, "Nico, I like Nico. Every time I see him, I can't help but be attracted to him.

"His eyes are big and bright, more attractive than dazzling gems. His eyelashes, nose, lips, and everything about him are so perfect.

"I know he's a man and I want to stay away from him every time, but I just can't control myself. What should I do? Senior brother, help me analyze it."

When Yan Yinfei said these words, Ning Shi was struck by lightning until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. His arrogant genius persona completely collapsed. Now, it seemed that Yan Yinfei was just a young boy who had just awakened his first awakening of love.

Li Sijia had probably been too strict with him in New Star City, so he had never experienced anything between a man and a woman. Hence, he was completely at a loss when he encountered such a situation.

After all, he was only an 18-year-old youth. Ning Shi did not look down on Yan Yinfei. Instead, he felt that the current him was a little cute.

"Who told you Nico is a man?" Ning Shi asked.

Yan Yinfei answered, "There is a gender column on the class register. Nico's gender is male. He also has an Adam's apple. "

To avoid trouble, Nico concealed his identity as a muse on the admission information and directly marked his gender as male.

When Ning Shi heard Yan Yinfei's words, he immediately understood Nico's thoughts. This matter was related to Nico's privacy. Since Nico did not want to announce it to the public, Ning Shi naturally could not say anything.

He could only bluff. "You might be the legendary bisexual. Perhaps you like both women and men. This is very normal among the nobles. You know, many big nobles like to raise boys.

"As long as it doesn't affect the family's inheritance, you can do whatever you like.

"Face your heart."

Yan Yinfei was a little confused about the sudden feelings he had for a man. He could not accept that he had fallen in love with a man.

He felt slightly better after hearing Ning Shi say this.

He muttered to himself, "I used to look down on those corrupt nobles who raised boys the most. I thought they were disgusting. I didn't expect to become one of them when I grew up.

"The dragon-slaying youth will eventually become an evil dragon one day. Is this my fate?"

When Ning Shi heard his words, he was instantly speechless.

Originally, Ning Shi had planned to wait for some time and obtain Nico's permission before explaining everything to Yan Yinfei. Or, he would let Old Li explain everything to Yan Yinfei.

But looking at Yan Yinfei's appearance, Ning Shi felt that it was unnecessary.

One day, Yan Yinfei would find out the truth. It would be interesting to have more hardships now.

Ning Shi did not expect Nico's charm to be so strong that he had charmed Yan Yinfei. This was a cognitive difference caused by aesthetic differences.

Ning Shi preferred a sexy, mature, and beautiful young woman like Ye Hongmian. Nico was a feminine and androgynous beauty. Although he was indeed very beautiful, he did not attract Ning Shi much.

However, in the Titanium Pole World, due to the popularity of mecha masters, everyone mainly focused on the meditation technique. There was less physical training, and the feminine and neutral aesthetic style was the mainstream.

Therefore, Nico's appearance was more popular.

This was especially true among the relatively simple-minded students.

These students were still relatively na?ve and did not know the benefits of being big and soft.

Ning Shi still instructed Yan Yinfei as his senior brother, "Junior brother, it's okay to pursue love, but you can't relax your studies because of this, understand?

"Let me emphasize to you again, your place for further studies is in danger and not stable.

"If you can't even get a place to further your studies, Nico won't like you."

At this moment, Yan Yinfei had already agreed with Ning Shi's words. He felt that he was bisexual, and the self-doubt in his heart faded away. He regained his confidence as a genius.

He patted his slightly bulging chest and said loudly, "Don't worry, senior brother. I'll get the spot to further my studies."

After saying this in a high-spirited manner, Yan Yinfei bent his body in front of Ning Shi and asked in a somewhat wretched manner, "Senior brother, I see that you are very close with Nico. What kind of man do you think he will like?"

Ning Shi was speechless. In his opinion, of the three spots for further studies, Nico, as a hot shot and the care he received in the Norse Republic Academy, would take up one spot.

Even if he was a cheater, he still had to get a spot.

There was a high chance that Yan Yinfei and Scarlet would fight for the remaining spot.

Judging from the current situation, Scarlet had the forbidden mecha, and Yan Yinfei could not compete with Scarlet at all.

Therefore, his quota for further studies was really in danger. Under such circumstances, Yan Yinfei still wanted to fall in love. It was hopeless. Ning Shi had no choice but to give him a blow.

Let him focus on his studies.

He sneered and said to Yan Yinfei, "How do you know that Nico likes men? He's a man. Under normal circumstances, he should like women, understand?"

Yan Yinfei was instantly dumbstruck and he wilted completely.

Ning Shi ignored him and turned to leave.

Ye Hongmian had been waiting for a while while he was chatting with Yan Yinfei. He could not let the beauty wait for too long.

When they arrived at the platform, Ye Hongmian was sitting on a seat on the platform. She stared blankly at the students passing by. The setting sun shone on her fair face, giving off a red halo.

The students who passed by turned their heads repeatedly. They were both amazed by Ye Hongmian's beauty and curious about her dazed behavior.

In the Norse Republic Academy, the slow lifestyle of being in a daze was incompatible with the atmosphere of being brave and eager to compete.

...

Ning Shi walked over and gently patted Ye Hongmian.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Teacher Ye. Let's go eat a big meal!"

Ning Shi brought Ye Hongmian to a high-class restaurant. It was the highest-ranked restaurant on the academy forum.

However, the feeling after eating wasn't very good. This restaurant played with a sense of ritual and dining environment. The dishes were exquisite and ingenious, but the taste wasn't good.

Moreover, the amount was not enough.

Ning Shi was about to leave the city after dinner. He said to Ye Hongmian, "Teacher Ye, I didn't enjoy the meal today. Come to my dormitory another day and I'll make you a delicious hotpot feast!" 𝗇𝑂𝗏𝖊𝐿𝗎𝒮𝔟.𝐂𝑂𝑀

Ye Hongmian smiled and said, "I see that after today's assessment, all the students will be training. You're the only one who came out for a feast. You even have to go to the wilderness. You'll have to spend time cooking for me in the future.

"Hurry up and start your mecha master training. Don't you have any thoughts about the advanced studies quota?"

"Isn't becoming a powerful mecha master to enjoy life?" Ning Shi laughed. "I will not put the cart before the horse. I will enjoy what I should enjoy.

"See you the day after tomorrow."

Ning Shi's words were deeply ingrained in Ye Hongmian's mind. She said with a deeper meaning, "See you the day after tomorrow. Call me Mian or Sister Mian. My friends and relatives all call me that."

...

"Alright, Mian, bye!" Ning Shi immediately said.

After bidding farewell to Ye Hongmian, Ning Shi returned to the dormitory to pack his ball. He then took the school bus to the nearest exit, Exit 9.

After registering, Ning Shi arrived outside the city.

He had already spent money to buy a ranking map of Norse City.

As the capital of the Norse Republic, Norse City was also the city with the strongest combat power. The radioactive creatures around the city were the cleanest.

Ning Shi had no choice but to drive the Hell Bike 800 kilometers into the wilderness before arriving at a Level 3 canyon.

Here, he began a day and night of grinding monsters to level up.

Ning Shi's Physique had reached 47.5, and he was very powerful. He specialized in hunting down groups of Level 3 radioactive creatures. Coupled with Ball's scanning ability, he was able to find radioactive creatures very quickly.

In just 20 hours, Ning Shi had killed over 500 radioactive creatures and obtained over 4,000,000 experience points.

He spent 1,500,000 experience points to level up his mecha master to Level 10. Then, he received a system notification that he could not level up anymore.

Ning Shi had accumulated 15 skill points and 29 potential points. He used 10 skill points.

[ Consumed 2 skill points to level up Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique to Level 10. The number of brain nuclei 2, Spiritual Power 2. ]

When the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique reached Level 10, the number of brain nuclei in Ning Shi's mind had reached 20, and his Spiritual Power had also reached 32 points.

With Ning Shi's current number of brain nuclei and willpower, he could already form a willpower field with his brain nuclei to cover the entire mecha, allowing him to control the mecha freely in battle.

His willpower had already reached the level of a beginner mecha master.

Of course, in terms of mecha piloting and combat skills, Ning Shi was still a novice. 𝑛𝐎𝒱𝗲𝓵𝑈𝗌𝐛.𝑪𝚘𝐌

He still had 2.5 million experience points left. The restriction on the meditation technique was temporarily lifted. He continued to level up his mecha master.

[ Mecha Master Level increased to Level 11 (0/800000), Skill Point 1, Potential Point 1. ]

[ Mecha Master Level increased to Level 12 (0/1200000), Skill Point 1, Potential Point 1. ]

After upgrading his mecha master to Level 12, Ning Shi had 7 skill points and 31 potential points.

The experience points required to level up were higher, so Ning Shi kept the last 500,000 experience points.

After another 5 hours of fighting in the wild, Ning Shi had accumulated a total of 1,500,000 experience points, all of which were distributed to his pet, Ball.

[ Mechanical Bird Leveled up to Level 15 (0/100000), Spiritual Power 1, skill point 1, Talent Energy Absorption (blue) upgraded to Growth (gold). ]

[ Mechanical Bird Leveled up to Level 16 (0/140000), Spiritual Power 1, skill point 1. ]

…

[ Mechanical Bird Leveled up to level 23 (35000/1500000), Spiritual Power 1, skill point 1, Talent Energy Absorption (Gold) upgraded to Energy Absorption (Purple). ]

Ball had leveled up 8 times in a row, and its talent, Energy Absorption, had risen to purple. Adding the remaining skill points from before, it had 9 points, and its Spiritual Power had reached 24 points.

It was a pity that the character template of the pet could not activate the Profession system. Ball had already learned the meditation technique and mastered the skills of mecha piloting and mecha manufacturing.

These were just three additional skills in the pet skill bar, but they did not open the pet's mecha master profession template.

Ning Shi had temporarily saved the skill points from Ball. He was prepared to add them to his meditation technique when his meditation technique's level increased slowly.

After 25 hours of fighting in the wild, including the time spent on the road, it was already late at night on the second day of the assessment.

There was still class tomorrow, so Ning Shi couldn't stay any longer. He rode the Hell Bike back to the dormitory.

When he arrived at the dormitory, it was already 2:30 in the morning. Ning Shi noticed that Nico's bungalow next door was brightly lit and people were flashing.

From time to time, there would be intense quarrels.

Out of curiosity, Ning Shi activated Ball's scene-scanning ability. The sounds from Nico's dormitory could be heard clearly.

"I told you that I shouldn't have been so nice to Nico. Wu Yisheng relied on his strength to do whatever he wanted. He insisted on playing some kind of nurturing game.

"Now that Nico has been taken away, we have wasted our efforts!"

His voice was very rough, and his tone was filled with indignation.

A feminine voice said, "Teny, don't be anxious. Nico has a strong positioning sensor installed on his body. The other party can't block it. Wu Yisheng has already gone to give chase. He should be able to rescue Nico in a while."

"It's not that I'm in a hurry. I already said that I would capture Nico and imprison him. With my torture methods, I will definitely be able to pry open Nico's mouth and find out the exact location of the forbidden core.

"That's a forbidden core. Aren't you tempted? That is related to the secret of immortality!"

Teny anxiously argued, his tone very agitated.

The androgynous voice sighed and did not say anything. A familiar voice said, "Stop arguing. It's meaningless to argue about the original decision now.

"The most important thing now is to get Nico back."

This voice belonged to Pang Yuanqing. Although he had never seen this person before, Ning Shi had heard him speak on Zhang Zhenfu's phone.

Ning Shi frowned. From the conversation between Pang Yuanqing and the others, it seemed that Nico had been captured.

The other party seemed to be targeting the forbidden core.

Nico belonged to the Republican Party. Now that he had a place to further his studies, the radioactive people and the Republican Party were in an alliance. They would definitely not attack Nico.

In that case, the person who captured Nico could only be someone from the noble forces.

Ning Shi had two main missions that were related to Nico. Now that Nico had been captured, he definitely could not stand by and watch.

However, Ning Shi was not in a hurry. Listening to the contents of their conversation, whether it was the Republic faction that helped Nico or the aristocratic faction that captured Nico, they were all for the forbidden core.

However, Nico seemed to have hidden the forbidden core very well.

As long as the forbidden core was not found, Nico would not be in any danger.

Ning Shi had a question in his heart. Nico was very vigilant. How did the noble forces capture him?

It was extremely difficult for the noble forces to capture people in the territory of the Norse Republic Academy.

Because mechas were relatively large, the smallest mecha was four to five meters tall. Therefore, mecha masters were more adept at destroying and not capturing when piloting mechas.

The person who captured Nico was most likely a traditional fighter supported by the noble forces.

Moreover, when Ning Shi returned to the academy, everything was normal in the academy. There were no major traffic routes closed and the school was sealed.

Thus, Ning Shi guessed that Nico was most likely captured outside the academy.

Nico should have been busy training under Wu Yisheng's tutelage for the entire day. Who could make him leave the academy?

Could it be?

Ning Shi suddenly thought of a person, and the people next door started talking again.

An old woman said.

"The news of Nico's disappearance has not been leaked, right? Did the Archon and Quartermaster know? If Nico were to be lost in our hands, these two would definitely take this opportunity to make a big fuss."

In the Norse Republic, the Republican Party was in power of the central government, while the great nobles held the local power. The two factions were evenly matched and did not give in.

Within the Republic Party, there was also a three-pronged situation.

They were the education and mecha master training academy, the military supplies department, which was in charge of mecha manufacturing and weapons production, and the administrative department, which was in charge of the country's finance and personnel appointments.

Because of the existence of the AI network in the Norse Republic, all disputes were judged on the internet, so there was no judicial system.

Therefore, the administrative department, which controlled the nation's finances and personnel appointments, was the most powerful department within the Republican Party. Its Chief Archon was the nominal leader of the Norse Republic.

The second was the military supplies department. With the threat of radioactive creatures outside, the Norse Republic had always been in a semi-combat state. The demand for weapons and mecha manufacturing had always been high.

The military supplies department controlled this huge profit industry and was extremely rich.

Among the commoners, the academies were the weakest at the moment. This was because the training in the academies cost money, and they did not have an independent industry to earn money. They always stretched out their hands to ask for money from the administrative department and equipment from the military supplies department.

In terms of aura, it was weaker.

Therefore, after Nico's incident, the higher-ups of the academy were very worried about the reaction of the Archon and the Quartermaster.

Pang Yuanqing replied, "Principal, Nico doesn't have many friends. So far, no one knows that he's missing. "

"Teacher Moses, who had been protecting him, informed me immediately about his capture.

"I also informed you and a few higher-ups and strictly instructed the relevant people not to leak this information.

"Therefore, the Archon and the Quartermaster do not know about it yet.

"As long as we can find Nico as soon as possible, we can pretend that nothing happened."

Ning Shi especially understood the higher-ups of the academy. He had heard the conversation between these people and roughly guessed their identities.

The academy's leader, Principal Liang Wenli, Vice Principal Pang Yuanqing, who was in charge of student recruitment, Vice Principal Teny, who was in charge of training and assessment, and the one with a neutral and feminine voice, Vice Principal Wei Yanping, who was in charge of logistics.

In addition to the Chief Instructor who was in charge of external combat, these five people were the higher-ups of the Norse Republic Academy. All the decisions of the academy were made by these five people.

After Liang Wenli heard Pang Yuanqing's words, he nodded and encouraged him, "Xiao Pang, you have considered everything. Nico's matter must be kept strictly confidential.

"I've already activated the entire area network surveillance of the academy district. The entire academy district is now relaxed on the outside and tight on the inside. All the exits of the entire district are closely monitored by the Heavenly Eye Network. Any unusual characters and actions will be detected by the Heavenly Eye Network.

"Therefore, Nico must still be in the school district. We can't panic. We just have to wait here for Xiao Wu's good news.

"Teny, we decided on a policy a year ago to rope in and nurture Nico. For this, we spent half a year to slowly get close to Nico and gain his trust.

"We even got Xiao Wu to secretly teach him the meditation technique. In the process, we spent a lot of time, manpower, and resources. You have seen the results. Nico is very supportive of the Norse Republic Academy. 𝑛𝐎𝒱𝗲𝓵𝑈𝗌𝐛.𝑪𝚘𝐌

"After Orphanage No. 15 in Sword Shield City was massacred and destroyed by the radioactive people, Nico already treats the academy as his home.

"We can't go against our previous decision just because of a little setback, understand?"

Teny was silent. Liang Wenli sighed and tried to persuade him, "Morally speaking, as teachers and principals, our job is to teach and educate people.

"As long as Nico is a member of the Norse Republic Academy, then his possession of the forbidden core is equivalent to the academy possessing the forbidden core. We should be happy.

"Every student will have their own opportunities. The academy should be the student's home, not a robber who steals the student's opportunities.

"In terms of benefits, Nico is definitely a person with great luck. This kind of person can always turn misfortune into good fortune when faced with danger. The more he suffers, the stronger he becomes. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we cannot stand on the opposite side of him.

"Harsh methods will only lead to destruction. It is destined that one will not be able to obtain the forbidden core. Muraka's tragedy is the best proof. Back then, who didn't want to snatch Muraka's forbidden mecha? In the end, Muraka's family was destroyed, and the forbidden mecha is nowhere to be found."

"Those people worked so hard for nothing."

After the principal repeatedly persuaded Teny, Teny let go of his unyielding attitude and said in a low voice, "I understand, Principal Liang. My achievements today are all thanks to your nurturing.

"Don't worry, since you have spoken, I will not say anything about Nico."

"That's good!"

Principal Liang sounded a little gratified. 𝗇𝑂𝗏𝖊𝐿𝗎𝒮𝔟.𝐂𝑂𝑀

The conversation next door stopped, and the surroundings fell into silence.

About ten minutes later, hurried footsteps came from next door. With another click, the door of the villa opened.

A deep and powerful voice rang out.

"Principal, I did not find Nico. The signal of the strong positioning sensor has been blocked. I have lost the clues and direction of tracking. If we want to find him, we must mobilize a large number of people and machines to search without blind spots.

"This way, the commotion would be huge, and the Archon and Quartermaster would notice.

"I can't make a decision, so I came to ask for instructions."

Ning Shi immediately guessed that the person who had spoken was the True God of War Wu Yisheng. He was the Chief Instructor of the Norse Republic Academy's external warfare and also Nico's full-time teacher.

Wu Yisheng did not manage to find Nico.

Liang Wenli did not panic when she heard the bad news brought by Wu Yisheng. She said calmly, "Xiao Wu, tell me about your pursuit."

"After I received Teacher Moses' call, I immediately activated the location tracking function of the sensor. I activated the invisibility function of the mecha and followed the location to the foot of Cloudy Mountain.

"The moment I arrived, the location disappeared.

"I wasn't willing to give up, so I searched carefully at the foot of the Cloudy Mountain. In the end, I found nothing.

"I called Teacher Moses to find out more about Nico's situation before he disappeared.

"I'll let Teacher Moses describe the details to you."

Moses' voice was hoarse and weak. He felt that Nico's disappearance would make him accountable, so he was under great pressure.

He said, "Reporting to Principal Liang. Nico trained until 11 o'clock at night before returning to the dormitory from the Rising Sun Field. As there are still classes the next day, Nico went back to his usual routine. After returning to the dormitory, he took a shower and went to rest.

"After the lights in his dormitory were turned off, I hid in the big tree outside to guard him like before.

"The night wind tonight was very strong, making my head a little dizzy. I unknowingly dozed off. When I woke up again, I immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"The dormitory was too quiet. Nico's even breathing had disappeared. I immediately activated the GPS and found that his location was near Cloudy Mountain.

"I immediately informed Instructor Wu and Principal Pang, and I also went to Cloudy Mountain. When I reached Cloudy Mountain, I also lost the signal."

Moses didn't deny his negligence and told him everything that had happened.

Liang Wenli reacted quickly and said, "In that case, Nico's disappearance was in the dormitory and you did not notice at all when you were sleeping on the tree.

"This is either because the expert who captured Nico is very powerful, and the capture was done cleanly without causing any noise.

"Either Nico was not caught in the dormitory at all and left the dormitory on his own. Moreover, he deliberately avoided all modes of surveillance.

"Does everyone think that the possibility is higher?"

This question was very simple. Pang Yuanqing answered quickly, "Nico must have left the dormitory on his own accord. We have installed a complete monitoring and defense system in Nico's dormitory. It is impossible to infiltrate it silently and capture Nico."

"Nico must have left on his own accord for some reason, right?" Liang Wenli asked.

Teny, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said, "Could it be to take out the forbidden core he hid?"

"In the past, Nico did not receive any systematic training as a mecha master. He did not know how to use the forbidden core even though he had it. Now that he studied in the academy for more than a month, he must have mastered a certain amount of technology and knowledge. He knows how to use the forbidden core.

"Isn't it normal for you to want to take out the forbidden core you've hidden?"

The more Teny spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense. "The last place Nico disappeared was at the foot of the Cloudy Mountain. The mountains are high and the forest is dense. It's perfect for hiding things!

"Think about it, the academy's strong location sensing system is so powerful. How can it be so easily cracked and blocked?

"Nico must have turned off the positioning function himself, which is why we can't locate him.

"Nico's disappearance isn't because he was captured, but because of his own actions. He deliberately avoided us and obtained the forbidden core!"

311 Betrayal (1)

No one responded to Teny's words because they didn't make sense.

Nico had received a lot of help from the academy. From his recent performance, not only did he treat the academy as his home, but he also established a deep relationship with his teacher, Wu Yisheng.

No one believed that Nico was so shrewd that he would secretly retrieve the forbidden core without anyone knowing.

Most importantly, after Nico came to Norse City, his schedule was under the control of the academy. He had always stayed in the academy and had never been to the Cloudy Mountain before. How could he hide the forbidden core in the Cloudy Mountain?

This didn't make sense.

"There's no need to speculate about Nico's purpose for going to Cloudy Mountain. We should investigate his recent behavior and his friends first." Liang Wenli said.

He wanted to see if there were any clues.

Xiao Wei was in charge of the investigation.

"Xiao Wu, you will lead a 100-man team to sneak into the vicinity of the Cloudy Mountain and quietly search for Nico's whereabouts.

"If we still can't find Nico by 12 am tomorrow, we can only report it to the Archon and lock down Norse City. We will conduct a thorough search of the entire city until Nico is found."

Everyone accepted the order. Only Wu Yisheng was worried about Nico's safety and could not help but retort.

"Principal Liang, my intuition tells me that Nico was captured by someone. Since the other party has planned everything, they must have thought of a way to send Nico out of Norse City after capturing him.

"Every minute and second is precious now. We should immediately lock down the entire city and conduct a city-wide search. This way, we might have a chance to save Nico."

Liang Wenli was silent for a while before she said, "Xiao Wu, you don't know the pressure I'm under. There's no point in saying more. Just do as I said just now."

Liang Wenli had a very high prestige. After she finalized the decision, everyone went on with their own implementation.

Half an hour later, Ning Shi's dormitory doorbell rang.

Ning Shi asked the smart home assistant to open the door and saw a slender middle-aged man with a pale face walk in.

"Hello, student Ning Shi. I'm the Vice Principal of the academy, Wei Yanping. I'm here to investigate something. You don't have to ask about the specifics. You just have to answer my question."

Time was tight, so Wei Yanping went straight to the point.

Wei Yanping's appearance was somewhat beautiful, a typical male and female appearance. There was even a beauty mole at the corner of his mouth, making him look flirtatious.

Paired with his feminine tone, Ning Shi couldn't help but think of bad words like a eunuch, factory duke, and male escort when he saw him.

Wei Yanping didn't know what Ning Shi was thinking. He was very satisfied with his bearing.

His eyes moved, his pinky slightly raised, and he pointed at Ning Shi and asked, "Tell me about your schedule for the past two days, especially the part about Nico."

Ning Shi did not pretend to be a student who did not know anything. Instead, he replied very calmly, "The day before yesterday was our first entrance examination. During the examination, I chatted with Nico a few times. They were all about the contents of the examination.

"The assessment ended at 4:45 pm yesterday. I invited Nico to have dinner with me. He said that he wanted to ask Teacher Wu Yisheng for extra training, so she rejected me.

"Teacher Ye Hongmian and I went to a very famous restaurant on the business street, Flying Clouds Restaurant, for dinner.

"After the meal, I made an appointment with Teacher Ye Hongmian to have hotpot together next time. I bid farewell to Teacher Ye and left the city from Exit 9. I went to the wild to hunt radioactive creatures and train my body.

"I started my return journey at 11:30 am. I entered the city at Gate 9 at around 1 am, washed up in the quarantine area, and then took the No. 9 school bus back to the dormitory. I arrived at the dormitory at 2:30 am."

Ning Shi explained his schedule in great detail. He also deliberately mentioned Ye Hongmian to Wei Yanping, telling him that his relationship with Teacher Ye Hongmian was not ordinary.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the higher-ups of the school. Ning Shi did not know how these people handled things, and he did not think that Wei Yanping was really asking gently.

He would not use any shameful methods.

Therefore, Ning Shi specifically pointed out Ye Hongmian to make the other party wary so as to avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict. 𝑵𝚘𝒱𝑒𝗅𝑈𝑆𝒷.𝓒𝔬𝓂

Ning Shi's main storyline mission was to join the Republican Party. It was not wise to clash with the higher-ups of the academy at this time.

As expected, Wei Yanping heard Ning Shi's words. Although he was full of doubts, his tone softened a lot.

It seemed that Wei Yanping did not dare to offend Ye Hongmian due to her special status.

"You're a student of the mecha master training course. Why aren't you studying at the academy? Why are you out in the wilderness?" Wei Yanping asked gently.

Wei Yanping was asking the obvious. Before he came, he had read Ning Shi's information and knew that Ning Shi and Nico came from the same orphanage. He had also taken a butcher as his teacher.

Training in the wild was what traditional fighters like butchers loved to do the most.

Wei Yanping asked this question to see if Ning Shi would lie.

"Other than my identity as a reserve mecha master, I'm also a butcher. I'm going to the wilderness mainly to hone my butcher skills," Ning Shi replied calmly.

Wei Yanping nodded. The itinerary and purpose that Ning Shi had given him were consistent with what he knew. He continued to ask, "Has Nico been behaving abnormally in the past few days?

"Did any suspicious people appear around him?"

Ning Shi shook his head and said, "Nico's behavior is very normal. In class, he only talks to me. He doesn't interact with anyone else."

312 Betrayal (2)

"Right, Nico had a good friend in the orphanage called Wang Fu. He was brought out by Nico from the orphanage and is studying in a school under the academy.

"Nico and Wang Fu have known each other for several years and have a very good relationship."

After hearing the conversation next door, Ning Shi immediately determined that Nico had left the dormitory on his own accord.

Due to his talent for bad luck and identity as a muse, Nico had very few friends. His interpersonal relationships were very simple.

The only people that Nico cared about were probably one or two teachers from the academy, Ning Shi, and Wang Fu.

Nico's disappearance was clearly not the doing of the academy's teachers, nor was it done by Ning Shi himself. The only possibility was Wang Fu.

It was very likely that the noble forces had captured Wang Fu and used his life to coerce Nico into going to Cloudy Mountain. Moreover, he did not dare to alarm the teachers of the academy.

Ning Shi took this opportunity to point out Wang Fu, wanting Wei Yanping to pay attention to this key figure.

After hearing Wang Fu's name, Wei Yanping looked at Ning Shi in surprise, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes. Then, he said, "The first person we investigated was Wang Fu. When we knocked on his door, he was sleeping.

"The confusion and fear on his face is definitely not something a ten-year-old child could fake.

"We asked him to log into his smart wristwatch and checked his chat and communication records. His chat with Nico for the past two days was normal.

"To be safe, we brought Wang Fu back to the academy.

"But to be honest, Wang Fu is not a suspect. Compared to you, he is just a child.

"In my opinion, you're very suspicious. I hope you'll fully cooperate with my actions from now on. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any respect from a teacher to a student."

Ning Shi immediately understood the trap in Wei Yanping's words. He asked, "What suspicion? Did something happen?"

If Ning Shi had directly defended himself and said that he was not a suspect, he would have fallen into Wei Yanping's trap.

From Ning Shi's perspective, he should not have known about Nico's disappearance. By agreeing to Wei Yanping's words, he was tacitly admitting that he knew about Nico's disappearance.

Although Ning Shi had eavesdropped on their conversation and knew that Nico had gone missing, he still had to show that he did not know.

Wei Yanping thought for a moment and said, "Nico is missing!"

After saying that, he pretended not to care, but his eyes were actually staring at Ning Shi's reaction.

Unfortunately, Ning Shi remained expressionless and did not seem to have any reaction to Nico's disappearance.

Wei Yanping frowned and his tone became stern. "You are Nico's good friend and have the ability to ask Nico out.

"After you were wanted by the Hilda family in Sword Shield City, you disappeared for more than twenty days and then suddenly appeared. Where did you go during these twenty days? Were you bribed after being caught by the Hilda family?

"Then, under the instructions of the Hilda family, did you invite Nico to the Cloudy Mountain and capture him?

"Moreover, you're a butcher. As traditional fighters, your strong bodies are most suitable for kidnapping people!

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're close to Teacher Ye Hongmian. This isn't a small matter, and even Teacher Ye Hongmian can't protect you!"

Seeing Wei Yanping's intimidating look, Ning Shi was a little speechless. Did these teachers in the academy think that their students were obedient after being teachers for so long?

Wasn't this kind of verbal intimidation treating Ning Shi like a child?

Ning Shi was a little impatient. From the moment Wei Yanping entered the door, Ning Shi already knew his background.

"Principal Wei, we're all adults. Don't try to bluff me." Ning Shi went straight to the point.

"It's impossible for you not to know the background of my teacher, Li Yidao. Whether or not I've been bribed by the Hilda family, as long as it's a normal person, they can see it.

"Do you think I don't know that the school will do background checks on students like us?

"I don't have a motive.

"When I entered and exited Norse City, the entrance and exit system of Gate 9 was registered. You can see these itinerary records, but I don't have the time of the crime.

"I've only been a butcher for a month. How strong can I be? I'm not satisfied with your criminal investigation ability. 𝒏𝑜𝓋𝔢𝒍𝓊𝐬𝑩.𝑐𝑶𝚖

"What are you trying to do by threatening me again and again when you know that I'm not a suspect?

"Are you trying to confuse the public and deliberately give the real suspect time to escape?"

Wei Yanping's expression changed when he heard Ning Shi's question. His aura softened and he smiled awkwardly. He found an excuse and said, "I only did this to scare you and look at the communication and chat records in your smart wristwatch."

Wei Yanping's reason was barely reasonable. In the Norse Republic, technology was highly developed, and everyone protected their privacy more strictly.

In particular, the communication and chat records were stored in the AI network and kept by the AI network's server. No one had the right to access these records.

If there was really a need to investigate, the Archon had to initiate a resolution of the Republic Parliament and obtain more than two-thirds of the consent votes before they could obtain the right to investigate.

They would need to check these records.

In the more than 170 years since the founding of the Norse Republic, there had been a total of 351 meetings to inquire about communications and chat records, and only four of them had been passed.

In the Norse Republic, no matter which official organization it was, it was very difficult to check a person's private records.

313 Betrayal (3)

The purpose of this was to protect personal privacy to the greatest extent so that everyone could communicate online with peace of mind. After all, in a society with highly developed technology, big data was everywhere.

Without privacy protection, everyone's behavior and data would be controlled by the artificial intelligence network. Personal privacy would no longer exist, and the consequences would be extremely serious.

Moreover, in the Norse Republic, the high officials and nobles had a greater need for privacy protection. They had more shady dealings and secrets, so they were the most supportive of privacy protection policies.

Under such circumstances, to check a person's communication and chat records, only the person concerned would be willing to take the initiative to dig up these records for you to see.

But who would be willing to show their privacy to others?

Therefore, Wei Yanping's reason for threatening Ning Shi was to make him panic and take the initiative to show his private records. This was barely reasonable.

However, Ning Shi was unmoved. He had long used the Eye of Truth to investigate Wei Yanping and knew his true identity.

This Wei Yanping was a spy sent by the noble forces. Nico's disappearance must be related to him.

After figuring out Wei Yanping's situation, Ning Shi immediately understood Wei Yanping's purpose.

He came to ask Ning Shi because he wanted to push the blame for Nico's disappearance onto Ning Shi. He wanted to confuse the public and divert the attention of the academy.

At the same time, Ning Shi was certain that Wang Fu had been bribed by the noble forces.

Otherwise, Wei Yanping would not have been so protective of Wang Fu after receiving Ning Shi's reminder to investigate Wang Fu. He would not have insisted that Wang Fu was not a suspect.

Ning Shi suddenly felt his heart ache for Nico. Was this the treatment of a hot shot?

Although he had obtained a treasure like the forbidden core, he had also been involved in the battles between the various large factions.

He was born into the muse race, a race that everyone hated. He was notorious and was on the verge of extinction. After his parents died, he lived in an orphanage. The orphanage he grew up in was destroyed by the radioactive people.

His only good friend, Wang Fu, had also been bribed and had betrayed him at a critical moment, leading him into a scam and being captured.

Not only were there spies in the upper echelons of the Norse Republic Academy that he relied on, but the teachers in the academy were also using him.

There were no real feelings.

Without Ning Shi's participation, Nico might have been destined to walk the path of a lone star. He would have become stronger and stronger through repeated setbacks. He would have gradually grown, but he would have gradually lost his warmth and purity.

This was the price of growth.

After lamenting about Nico's experience, Ning Shi ignored Wei Yanping's guilty expression and asked an irrelevant question.

"Principal Wei, did you bring any other teachers with you to interrogate me?"

Wei Yanping came to Ning Shi's place with the intention of putting the blame on Ning Shi. He wanted to use the threat of words to scare Ning Shi, and then use Ning Shi to confirm his identity as a suspect.

Therefore, he did not bring his assistant or other teachers over.

Wei Yanping had been an undercover agent for many years, so he had a strong mental fortitude. He was just shocked by Ning Shi's sudden questioning, but he completely calmed down at this moment.

"Ning Shi, aren't you qualified for me to come and ask you?" he replied coldly. Why would he need to bring other teachers?

"Besides, I came over to check your communication and chat records. Considering your privacy, it's not appropriate for me to bring other teachers along."

Ning Shi smiled and said, "That's good!"

After saying that, he took a step forward with lightning speed, his figure so fast that it was blurry!

He grabbed Wei Yanping's throat!

Wei Yanping did not even have time to react. The mecha key hanging on his chest had not even been activated before Ning Shi grabbed it.

"Ning Shi, what are you doing?" he asked fiercely. "This is the academy. If you dare to hurt a single hair on me, you will… Uh…"

Ning Shi found him noisy and was afraid that he would attract others. The fingers around his neck tightened, and Wei Yanping was instantly speechless.

His neck was grabbed by Ning Shi and he couldn't breathe. As time passed, Wei Yanping's face turned red. His hands grabbed Ning Shi's arms desperately, trying to pry them away.

However, he discovered that Ning Shi's arm was like a giant pincer, not moving at all.

Ning Shi strangled Wei Yanping's neck for almost two minutes. It was only when Wei Yanping saw stars and felt the aura of death that Ning Shi slightly loosened his grip and said.

"You know that I'm a traditional fighter, but you still dare to get so close to me. I can only say that you're very bold. I'll let go of you. Don't scream, or don't blame me for killing you."

Ning Shi's right hand was around Wei Yanping's neck, and his left hand was holding a chip bomb that he had taken out from his backpack.

He suddenly released his right hand, and Wei Yanping felt his neck relax. He could breathe in air now. He opened his mouth and breathed in big mouthfuls.

Ning Shi took this opportunity to throw the chip bomb into Wei Yanping's throat. Wei Yanping was already dizzy and his reaction was slow.

The chip bomb smoothly entered his body from his throat and took root in his heart.

Tong Baiming had given this chip bomb to Ning Shi when he had made a deal with Ning Shi so that Ning Shi could continue to sell his meat essence.

According to Tong Baiming, this chip bomb was a biological weapon used to control people.

The chip bomb contained a powerful explosive that was enough to blow up a large house after detonation.

The outer shell of the chip was made of biochemical materials. Once it entered the human body, the chip would automatically find the important organs in the human body and take root.

The key to detonating the bomb was in Ning Shi's hands.

Ning Shi could use the key to detonate the chip bomb at any time. In addition, once the chip bomb left the host organ, it would automatically explode.

Unless Ning Shi used the program key in his hand to remove the function of organ locking.

Tong Baiming used the chip bomb to control many people in Yuan City and became the underground boss of Yuan City. If it wasn't for the fact that he had made a major breakthrough in his research on the meat essence, he would have needed more of it.

He would not have taken out the chip bomb to lure Ning Shi into a deal.

This was Ning Shi's first time using this thing. His goal was to completely control Wei Yanping.

After Wei Yanping breathed in the air, his brain gradually recovered its oxygen supply. He immediately covered his throat and pointed at Ning Shi. "What did you feed me?"

"It's a chip bomb, have you heard of it?"

Ning Shi was holding the program key of the bomb in his hand and was about to explain.

Wei Yanping's eyes were filled with despair when he heard Ning Shi's words and saw the program key. He asked with the last trace of hope, "Where did you get your chip bomb?"

"Yuan City, Tong Baiming," Ning Shi replied.

Wei Yanping's eyes darkened. He obviously knew the origin of the chip bomb and its function.

"You won," he said weakly. "You took control of my freedom. What is your purpose?"

"Let me tell you, I, Wei Yanping, also have integrity. If you want me to do something that will let down the school and the students, that's impossible!" 𝒏𝑜𝓋𝔢𝒍𝓊𝐬𝑩.𝑐𝑶𝚖

It had to be said that Wei Yanping had the professionalism of an undercover agent, and he was still acting.

Ning Shi had no choice but to tear off his hypocritical mask.

"Vice Principal Wei, your surname is Wei of the Baron family, right? Wei for protection. I wonder if your family's title has been raised from the Baron."

Ning Shi ignored Wei Yanping's terrified eyes and continued, "A spy, a treacherous villain, and you're still boasting shamelessly here.

"From now on, listen to my instructions properly. I can still let you continue to be the Vice Principal of the academy. Otherwise, I'll report you directly and let you accept Principal Liang Wenli's baptism of love!"

Wei Yanping's body trembled when he heard the words 'baptism of love'.

Liang Wenli was a woman, yet she was able to hold the position of the leader of the academy for more than 20 years. She did not rely on benevolence and compassion.

315 Control (2)

The cruelty of her methods was enough to make everyone tremble in fear, especially the 'baptism of love'. It was Liang Wenli's ultimate method of torture.

Ning Shi did not know the exact method. He had only heard of this name.

After Wei Yanping's undercover identity was exposed by Ning Shi, he could no longer hold himself back and was completely controlled by Ning Shi.

He no longer had any intention of resisting and lowered his head dejectedly.

Ning Shi knew how to control his subordinates, so he lied, "Let me tell you something. My background is not simple either. I have the support of the big shots in the star fields. If you follow me, not only will you not suffer, but your family's power will only grow stronger and stronger.

"Otherwise, how do you think I was able to get my hands on a chip bomb and train my body to such a powerful state in a month? It's all because of the help of the big boss behind us, understand?"

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Wei Yanping somewhat believed him. The main thing was that Ning Shi's strength was indeed there.

It was definitely not something that ordinary traditional fighters could do.

For Wei Yanping, his only wish was to bring his family to greater heights and to increase the noble title of his family. As for whether he was loyal to the current noble forces on the origin planet or the big boss behind Ning Shi, it made no difference to him.

Moreover, his life and death were now in Ning Shi's hands. He had no other choice.

Wei Yanping was indeed a person with a talent for backstabbing. His attitude changed very quickly.

He said with his head lowered, "Lord Ning Shi, I, Wei Yanping, will be your servant from now on. I will do whatever you want me to do!"

Ning Shi looked at Wei Yanping's fawning expression and nodded lightly. He knew that he had only temporarily controlled Wei Yanping, the dog that betrayed its master.

Wanting to make him submit completely was not such an easy matter.

However, this was enough for the time being. Ning Shi finally controlled a high-ranking member of the academy in the Republican Party. Moreover, this high-ranking member was a spy of the noble forces.

Controlling Wei Yanping was equivalent to controlling the high-end intelligence of the two forces.

"Where is Nico now?" Ning Shi asked. "He's very important to our faction, we can't afford to lose him."

Wei Yanping didn't hide anything and revealed the scheme of the noble forces.

"About a year ago, the teachers of the Norse Republic Academy often secretly went to Orphanage No. 15 in Sword Shield City to visit Nico. This situation attracted the attention of the Hilda family.

"At that time, they felt that Nico must have some secrets. Although they did not know the exact situation, they immediately took action and bribed Nico's only friend, Wang Fu.

"Through Wang Fu's information, the Hilda family learned that Nico had the forbidden core.

"Just as the Hilda family was about to take action and capture Nico for interrogation, Wu Yisheng suddenly appeared beside Nico.

"Because they were afraid of the strength of the True God of War God Wu Yisheng, the Hilda family had no choice but to temporarily endure and change their strategy.

"They planned to lure Nico into joining the Sword Shield City Academy with great benefits during the aptitude test.

"Unfortunately, the plan failed.

"Nico successfully joined the Norse Republic Academy, but the Hilda family did not give up. They found the leader of the noble forces, the Marquis of Blackbox, and told him about Wang Fu.

"Hence, Nico was captured."

Wei Yanping's expression changed slightly when he talked about the Marquis of Blackbox. He was obviously afraid of the Marquis of Blackbox. He continued, "The Marquis of Blackbox has activated the secret plan that the nobles have been planning in Norse City for a long time.

"A long time ago, they dug an underground tunnel on the outskirts of Norse City. They can bypass the towering city walls from underground and connect the city to the outside."

Hearing the plan of the underground passage, Ning Shi could not help but sigh at the cunning of these nobles.

In order to defend against radioactive creatures, every city in the Norse Republic had high walls, and entry and exit was subject to scrutiny.

There was an advanced monitoring network and weapon defense system on the city wall. No one dared to barge in, but the foundation of the city wall was at most ten meters deep. If they found the right terrain, they could dig a tunnel underground.

"So, the exit of the underground tunnel in the city is inside Cloudy Mountain?" asked Ning Shi.

Wei Yanping shook his head. "No, the exit of the underground tunnel is at Dongpo Ridge, which is more than 300 kilometers away from Cloudy Mountain. We asked Wang Fu to send a message to Nico. We used Wang Fu's life to trick Nico into going to Cloudy Mountain. It was just to confuse the location.

"After Nico arrived at Cloudy Mountain, for Wang Fu's safety, he had no choice but to turn off his GPS.

"Our people will then take her along the pre-planned route, enter Dongpo Ridge, and then leave the city. 𝓷𝔬𝓋𝑒𝓁𝗎𝓈𝑩.𝗰𝑜𝓂

"Looking at the time, Nico should be in the underground passage and should be outside the city soon."

The noble forces' plan was very thorough. Wu Yisheng and the others were destined to find nothing in the vicinity of the Cloudy Mountain. Even if they immediately sealed off the entire city, they might not be able to stop Nico from being transported out of the city.

Moreover, the higher-ups of the academy were still trying to hide Nico's disappearance.

Ning Shi asked Wei Yanping to send him the exact location of the two exits of the underground secret passage inside and outside the city. Then, he instructed, "Continue to investigate the others. Unless the noble forces have a request, don't do anything about Nico.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better not cover up for Wang Fu. Investigate as you should and report the results to Principal Liang."

"Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise, after Nico's incident, your identity would have been exposed and your ending would have been very miserable."

Wei Yanping's lips moved as if he was not convinced and wanted to refute Ning Shi.

Ning Shi smiled and said, "Your plan was very thorough. However, you missed out on the most important part. You misjudged Nico's ability."

"You don't understand how powerful the hot shots are. Nico will definitely be able to return to the academy safely and point out Wang Fu's identity as a spy. You will also be implicated because you are protecting Wang Fu."

Seeing that Wei Yanping was still skeptical, Ning Shi did not continue to explain. Instead, he asked, "Wang Fu doesn't know your identity, does he?"

If Wang Fu knew about Wei Yanping's identity, then he had to get rid of Wang Fu immediately.

Wei Yanping shook his head. "I don't know. Only the Marquis of Blackbox and the Count of Golden Mountain know my identity."

"That's good. Go ahead and do your own things."

After Wei Yanping left, Ning Shi turned off the lights in his dormitory and left under the cover of the night.

After activating shapeless phantom stealth for a while, Ning Shi took out his Hell Bike and arrived at the entrance of the underground tunnel of Dongpo Ridge.

The entrance to the secret passage was in a pile of rocks. Ning Shi followed the password provided by Wei Yanping and rotated a small rock several times. Then, a larger rock moved away automatically.

It revealed a deep black hole under the rock.

Ning Shi didn't hesitate and jumped into the black hole. After he went in, the stone returned to its original position and covered the hole.

Ning Shi slid down for about twenty meters before he finally touched the ground.

The tunnel inside the cave was relatively narrow, and the road was covered with all kinds of stones. Transportation could not be used, so they could only walk. Moreover, the dark tunnel was very dark. Even with lighting equipment, visibility was not high.

This was good news. Nico and the others would not be able to pass through this secret passage very quickly.

However, Ning Shi was different. With his physique and night vision, he traveled through the secret passage at an extremely fast speed. After traveling for about ten minutes, Ning Shi saw a corpse in the secret passage ahead.

He walked closer and saw a middle-aged man who was trying to dress up.

The man's muscles bulged like hard rocks. Even though he was dead, Ning Shi could still feel the power emanating from his body.

With this kind of attire and body shape, one could tell that he was a traditional fighter.

He was probably one of the members of the gang who captured Nico.

Ning Shi turned the man's body around and saw that the back of his head was a bloody mess. There was a very deep bloody hole. He also saw a stone in the shape of a bamboo shoot next to him. The stone was stained with blood.

Ning Shi immediately understood that this person must have slipped and fallen. The back of his head hit the stone shaped like the tip of a bamboo shoot, and he died instantly.

Ning Shi examined the stone and found that it was actually an extremely rare sharp gold stone. This kind of stone was famous for being hard and sharp, and its value was extremely high. It had the title of mining machine killer.

Ordinary mining machines would be broken or cut off by this stone when they came into contact with the sharp gold stone.

This traditional fighter was just so unlucky. He stepped on a stone and slipped. The back of his head happened to hit the sharp metal stone and he died.

All of this seemed to be a coincidence, but Ning Shi knew that this was the great power of Nico's ability to dispel bad luck.

The people who followed Nico would end up inexplicably unlucky. In serious cases, their lives would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Ning Shi's nose was still faintly hurting. The memory of him crashing into the window was still vivid in his mind.

Ning Shi had never been worried about Nico's safety because he knew that he was an unexpected guest to the Titanium Pole World. 𝑵𝚘𝒱𝑒𝗅𝑈𝑆𝒷.𝓒𝔬𝓂

If Ning Shi had not come to the Titanium Pole World, Nico would still have been betrayed by Wang Fu and would have experienced the crisis of being captured. However, Nico would definitely have been able to turn the tables.

Nico definitely had some trump cards and abilities that Ning Shi did not know about. Bad luck was only one of them.

Otherwise, with Nico's intelligence, even though he cared about Wang Fu's safety, he would not be so stupid as to let the enemy manipulate him.

Ning Shi came here with three main purposes.

Firstly, he wanted to provide Nico with a backup plan to ensure that he would not fall into absolute danger or that he would not have to bear too much of a price.

One had to know that although the protagonists of many worlds could become stronger as they suffered, they would inevitably sacrifice a lot of things in the process of becoming stronger.

Secondly, he wanted to find out what trump cards Nico had and investigate some information about her. This was not because Ning Shi wanted to pry into Nico's privacy. He mainly wanted to collect information about the hot shots so that he could pry into the development of the Titanium Pole World.

The third reason was also the most straightforward. He wanted to see if there was a chance to help Nico and increase their character intimacy with each other. After all, when Nico was at his most dangerous moment, he could save him. It was definitely the best opportunity to increase their character intimacy with each other.

Ning Shi figured out the cause of death of the man on the ground and did not stay any longer. He continued to walk forward, but he activated the shapeless phantom and tried to be as light as possible.

As the blood of the dead man had not dried yet, there was still some residual heat on his body. This meant that he had died not long ago. Nico and the others had just left this place.

They were probably just ahead, and Ning Shi did not want to be discovered by the enemy.

Sure enough, after another two to three minutes, Ning Shi heard footsteps ahead.

In this underground tunnel, if one did not deliberately cover it, the sound of footsteps stepping on all kinds of gravel would be very obvious.

What was more obvious than the footsteps was the rapid breathing of the crowd.

Ning Shi did not rush to save them. He followed behind these people from afar.

Through Ball's scanning, Ning Shi knew that there was a total of five people in front of him, including the four men in tight-fitting clothes and Nico.

The four men were about the same age, about 30 to 40 years old. They were not tall, but their bodies were especially strong, especially their fists, which were like sandbags and looked very powerful.

All four of them were injured. Some of them had bleeding heads, some had bandages on their arms, and one of them had been holding his butt.

Ning Shi followed these people for more than ten minutes. Someone suddenly said, "Alright, we're almost at the exit. Let's quickly leave this strange place.

"There must be evil spirits in this underground passage. Let's go out first."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go out first. After we finish our mission, we'll return to collect Third Senior Brother's body.

"I've read the secret manuals in the sect. Filth and Evil are invisible. They're not something we can deal with."

Another person encouraged them. "Everyone, hang in there. Put more strength into your feet. Let's get out of here quickly."

Nico walked in the middle of the four of them. He wore a red electronic shackle on each of his hands. He did not say a word throughout the entire process. He just silently followed the four of them.

After walking another seven or eight hundred meters, the man who spoke first stood up. He looked around with a searchlight and saw a small stone.

The rock was an irregular hexagon with many edges and corners. It was similar to the shape of the rock that Ning Shi had twisted when he entered the secret passage.

The man obviously knew the password. He twisted the stone in different directions according to the password.

30 degrees clockwise, 45 degrees counterclockwise, 180 degrees counterclockwise, 90 degrees clockwise…

The man clearly remembered the password, but he was a little nervous because of Evil, and his palms were sweating.

As he was spinning, his hand slipped and he entered the wrong password.

It wasn't a big deal. He just had to wait for five minutes before turning the mechanism again.

Who knew that his foot, which was squatting on the ground, would suddenly slip, and his hand would turn the stone again?

This time, he transferred the wrong password twice in a row.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The sound of electricity rang out, and the man immediately fell to the ground. His entire body twitched, and white foam came out of the corner of his mouth. His skin was black, and smoke came out of his head. The smell of roasted meat spread into the secret passage.

In order to prevent unknown people from using the secret passage or accidentally finding a mechanism to enter the secret passage, the underground secret passage was designed with a powerful protective device.

Once the password was wrong for two consecutive steps, a very powerful electric current would burst out from the stone, directly electrocuting the person who turned the key.

Faced with the sudden situation, the remaining three men reacted differently.

A man shouted in fear, "Evil, it's Evil again!"

As he shouted, he ran into the secret passage in a panic.

The other two rushed to the front of the fallen man and shouted anxiously, "Eldest Senior Brother! Are you alright?"

"Hurry up! Hurry up and give Eldest Senior Brother the Essence Body Pill!"

Although the two of them were flustered, their movements were not chaotic at all. One of them took out a silver-white pill from his body and stuffed it into Eldest Senior Brother's mouth. Then, he passed some water over and poured it into Eldest Senior Brother's neck.

The Essence Body Pill was really effective. Eldest Senior Brother, who was on his last breath from the electric shock, took the pill and his breathing gradually stabilized. It seemed that he had been rescued.

Seeing that Eldest Senior Brother's condition was gradually stabilizing and his charred skin was gradually recovering, the man who had just taken out the pill said, "Fortunately, Eldest Senior Brother is very strong and has cultivated the Wave Fist to Level 7. His body has already reached the realm of invulnerability.

"That is why he can withstand such a strong electric current attack. 𝞰𝗈𝐕𝞮𝑙𝗎𝑠𝔟.𝓒𝑜𝗆

"If we were the ones who turned the password just now, we would have been electrocuted to death long ago. No medicine can save us."

Youngest Junior Brother let the Eldest Senior Brother rest on his lap and said, "Second Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother was scared away just now. Should we go and chase him back?

"Do you think Evil really exists in this world?"

Second Brother shook his head and said, "Fourth Brother will come back by himself later. There are no forks in this secret passage. We can't get lost. We don't have to worry about him. We'll wait here until Eldest Senior Brother wakes up. "

"As for Evil, I don't think so.

"This thing is the dregs of our traditional fighters' knowledge. In ancient times, we traditional fighters explored the world with our bodies and would always encounter all kinds of strange creatures and events.

"Gradually, people begin to call some creatures and phenomena that they couldn't understand at that time evil. But after so many years, who has really seen Evil?

"Besides, we traditional fighters are full of masculinity. Even if there is Evil, they can't get close to our bodies."

"Then why did Eldest Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother believe so deeply in Evil?" asked the Youngest Brother, puzzled. "And why did Third Senior Brother die because of Evil?"

Second Senior Brother sighed and said, "Third Brother's death is too coincidental. There must be a reason we don't know, but it's definitely not evil. "

"Eldest Senior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother have read too many secret manuals in the sect and are always mumbling."

"No… That's right, Second Junior Brother, you're right."

A weak voice sounded. It was Eldest Senior Brother who had woken up.

He raised his finger with difficulty and pointed at Nico. He said in a hoarse voice, "The moment I was electrocuted, I understood everything. There is no Evil at all.

"Everything is bad luck. Before we came, Nico's personal information showed that the people around him would be inexplicably unlucky.

"We didn't care about this information, we just attributed Third Junior Brother's death to Evil. We can only blame this underground passage for being too sinister and giving us a very bad hint. 𝑵𝐎𝑣𝞮𝓵𝐔𝐒𝔟.𝔠𝒪𝗆

Second Junior Brother, go and find Fourth Junior Brother and let Nico turn the password."

Ning Shi saw the encounters of these senior and junior brothers and felt very sympathetic toward them. Most people would scoff at bad luck if they had not experienced it personally.

Only by experiencing it personally could one notice the power of bad luck.

After Fourth Junior Brother returned, Nico followed Eldest Senior Brother's instructions and turned the stone mechanism. A secret door opened and it was the way out.

The exit in the suburbs was different from the one in the city. It was an inclined staircase that was easier to climb.

Seeing that the door to the exit had been opened, Eldest Senior Brother struggled to sit up. He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go up.

Nico still did not resist. Ning Shi did not intend to wait any longer. He originally wanted to see what trump card Nico would display. However, Nico seemed to have suffered a huge blow. He lowered his head and remained silent throughout the journey.

According to the results of Scene Scanning, Ning Shi knew that the exit of this slope was very long, more than 200 meters long. Outside the exit, there were already noble warships and troops waiting to receive them.

Once he left, it would be difficult for Nico to return.

Now, it seemed that Wang Fu's betrayal was a relatively big blow to Nico, the hot shot. Nico must have paid a huge price to survive this crisis and return to the academy.

Although Ning Shi had initially approached Nico, the hot shot, for the purpose of completing the mission, after this period of contact, he had already treated Nico as his friend.

He did not want Nico to suffer so much.

No matter what difficulties and hardships, the jade was successful, and the sword was sharpened. There was no other way. If there was a choice, no one was willing to endure the hardships.

Thus, Ning Shi attacked directly. In a flash, he was already behind Second Senior Brother.

Bang!

Ning Shi's fist landed on Second Brother's head, and his brain and blood splattered everywhere.

Second Brother died in an instant.

Ning Shi used the Eye of Truth to investigate the information of these four people. They all cultivated a martial art called the Wave Fist. The one with the strongest physique was Eldest Senior Brother, who had reached 33 points.

The other three had 29, 28, and 26 points of Physique respectively. This kind of strength was already considered the best among traditional fighters.

For example, Old Li was a traditional fighter master. His physique was only 38 points. In this era, the overall strength of traditional fighters was declining.

Compared to mecha masters and ordinary people, the four of them had an advantage in terms of physique. However, compared to Ning Shi, they were nothing.

In a few moves, Ning Shi killed all four of them.

He still followed his previous fighting style and did not hold back at all. Therefore, these four people died in a very miserable manner. The underground tunnel immediately emitted a thick smell of blood.

Nico was shocked by the scene before him.

From his perspective, a figure suddenly appeared from the darkness and blew up the heads of the four traditional fighters who had captured him!

When the figure stood still, he took a closer look. This person was actually Ning Shi!

When Nico saw Ning Shi, his shock immediately faded. He could not help but feel wronged.

He could no longer control his emotions and threw himself into Ning Shi's arms, tears bursting out.

"Ning Shi, do you know? He was bribed by the Hilda family. Before I met you, he was my only good friend. I…"

Nico wanted to say more, but Ning Shi interrupted him in a barbaric manner.

He straightened Nico's body and went to Eldest Senior Brother's corpse to pick up the control key of the electronic shackles. Then, he removed the shackles from Nico's hands.

"The door to the passage has been opened," he said. "There are noble warships and troops on the ground. Once the door is opened and no one goes up for a long time, the army will notice that something is wrong."

"They will definitely send people down to hunt them down.

"In order to avoid any complications, we should leave this place first."

After saying that, Ning Shi carried Nico on his back and quickly ran toward the other end of the secret passage.

Ning Shi's speed was very fast. At his full speed, in less than 10 minutes, he returned to the exit of Norse City.

Once they reached the territory of the Academy District, the nobles' army would definitely not dare to come over. This place was considered safe.

In the rubble of the Dongpo Ridge, Ning Shi looked at Nico's reddened eyes. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Nico seemed to be more gentle and charming than before.

"What did you say just now? You were deceived by Wang Fu, the informant?" Ning Shi asked deliberately.

Nico had a stomach full of grievances. When he met Ning Shi, he wanted to tell him about it but was rudely interrupted by him.

Now that he was talking about this matter, for some reason, the grievance in his heart was not as strong.

Thinking of how devastated he was because of Wang Fu's betrayal, Nico felt that he had been so stupid.

Humans were like this. Once they fell into a certain emotional cycle, it would be difficult for them to get out of it.

However, after meeting Ning Shi, Nico felt that he was not so lonely. Without Wang Fu, there was still Ning Shi. There were always true friends that he could rely on and trust.

He nodded and said, "That's right. I didn't expect Wang Fu to be so scheming when he was only ten years old. I was stupid."

"Not only did I not see through his ulterior motives, but I even treated him as my own younger brother and told him some of my secrets."

Ning Shi laughed and said to Nico, "You're quite stupid. The secret of possessing the forbidden core was first known to the teachers of the Norse Republic Academy. Although they appeared to be helping you, in reality, they restricted your freedom.

"You even told this secret to Wang Fu and let the Hilda family know. 𝑛𝒪𝓋𝔢𝑙𝐔𝒮𝑩.𝓬𝓞𝑚

"It is easy for you to fall into the whirlpool of the struggle between many forces, but you didn't have the slightest experience and wisdom.

"You did not think of a way to protect yourself, nor did you take the initiative to fight for the status and power you deserved among the forces of the Republican Party.

"You only foolishly accepted it passively."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Nico did not ask Ning Shi how he knew about the forbidden core. Instead, he was somewhat unconvinced. He explained, "The teachers of the academy are very good to me and don't restrict my freedom. Moreover, I hate scheming and prefer to treat my friends sincerely.

"I think the most important thing for me now is to study."

Ning Shi shook his head. "Perhaps I shouldn't have saved you so early. I should have let you suffer more. You should have paid the price of blood and tears. Perhaps only then would you have a clearer understanding of your living condition. "

After saying that, Ning Shi turned on his smart wristwatch and sent a recording to Nico.

"This recording is a discussion between several high-level executives of the academy when you went missing. Listen carefully.

"A single Wang Fu can fool you, and a single piece of information can trick you to go to Cloudy Mountain. Are you an idiot?"

Nico was speechless. He turned on her watch and began to listen to the recording that Ning Shi had sent. The more he listened, the uglier his expression became.

Nico was not stupid. He had grown up in an orphanage. Due to his identity as a muse and his unlucky talent, he was ostracized by his peers.

However, his personality was still gentle and kind, and he had no experience in society or struggle.

This kind of personality was very trusting.

After all, Nico was just a young boy who had just turned 18 years old. Not everyone was as mature and abnormal as Wang Fu.

Ning Shi deliberately provoked him with words, hoping that he would mature.

According to the storyline of this world, if Ning Shi had not intervened in this matter, Nico might have been forced to grow after paying a huge price.

Ning Shi did not want to delay the growth of the hot shots because of his rescue operation.

After listening to the recording, Nico remained silent. It was obvious that he had gotten to know the higher-ups of the academy again.

In particular, Teny's imprisonment and Liang Wenli's utilitarian-based views allowed Nico to see the world of adults.

In comparison, his actions were indeed childish and laughable.

Ning Shi said, "You have a precious treasure, so you can't blame everyone for approaching you with other motives. Relatively speaking, the academy's approach is already very benevolent."

"Think twice before you act in the future. Don't be so stupid as to trust anyone."

Nico nodded and stared at Ning Shi with bright eyes. "Since everyone has a motive for approaching me, what about you? Are you also here for the forbidden core?"

"My purpose is very simple. I just want to be friends with you!" Ning Shi's lips curled up.

Ning Shi did not lie. The mission given by the game system was to become friends with Nico.

Without waiting for Nico to reply, he continued, "This place is very safe. I have to go first. You can call Teacher Wu Yisheng. He will come to pick you up.

"Tell Wu Yisheng that you escaped on your own, or that a mysterious person saved you. Don't expose the fact that I saved you.

"In this world, you are not the only one with secrets. I am different from you. I like to keep secrets.

"Bye-bye, see you in class!"

With that, Ning Shi activated the shapeless phantom and disappeared into the hazy sunlight.

Nico gave Wu Yisheng a call and activated the strong positioning sensor on her body again.

In the past, Nico did not feel that his freedom was restricted when he activated the GPS. This time, he had a different feeling when he activated the sensor.

The academy had installed a valuable strong positioning sensor on him. The purpose was self-evident. With this positioning sensor, his entire journey was under the control of the academy.

This was indeed restricting his personal freedom.

Nico felt that he still had a long way to go.

Inside the smart wristwatch, Muraka suddenly said, "I misjudged this time. I didn't expect this young man, Ning Shi, to be so extraordinary."

Nico responded to Muraka for the first time tonight. "Teacher, although I'm not smart, I've finally made a true friend."

Muraka ignored Nico's words and continued, "If I remember correctly, Ning Shi became a butcher on the second day after he met you.

"In about a month, his physical fitness had grown to such a powerful level. No wonder he would go out to train his body during his vacation. Although I didn't approve of him spending his energy on the butcher profession, I really admire his talent.

"He is the most talented traditional fighter I have ever seen.

"If Ning Shi had lived in the era ten thousand years ago when traditional fighters dominated the world, he would definitely have shone brightly and left his name in history.

"Unfortunately, I was born at the wrong time."

"The consequences of doing so would be very great. Not only would it affect the future development potential of the forbidden core, but my soul power will also be greatly consumed, and in the end, it would completely dissipate.

Thank you readers!

"Without Ning Shi, you will ruin your future because of Wang Fu and lose my guidance forever. Can you bear this price?"

This time, Muraka was very angry. She kept reminding Nico that there might be something wrong with Wang Fu and that going to Cloudy Mountain was a trap. However, Nico was stubborn and refused to listen.

Therefore, she had to explain to him the consequences of Nico acting on her own accord so that he would deeply understand his mistake.

Nico lowered his head and admitted his mistake again. "Teacher, it was my fault this time. I promise you that there will never be a next time."

Muraka was satisfied with Nico's attitude of admitting his mistake. She sighed and said, "Work hard. I don't know how long I can stay with you."

Nico turned pale with fright. He quickly asked, "Teacher, what do you mean?"

"My soul is already more than 500 years old," Muraka said frankly. "The human body will rot, and so will the soul and consciousness. One day, they will rot and die."

"I can feel that my soul is gradually weakening recently.

"According to my estimation, in five years at most, my soul power will be unable to maintain itself and will naturally dissipate."

The person Nico trusted the most was Muraka, who had accompanied him since he was young. He could not accept the fact that his teacher was about to die. He asked dejectedly, "Didn't Teacher Ye Hongmian say that if a person's consciousness is transferred to a machine or mecha, they can obtain eternal life?"

Muraka had long seen through life and death. She laughed and said, "Immortality is a false proposition. There has never been absolute immortality.

"To humans, ten thousand years is too long. However, to a planet, a hundred years is but a flash. To the vast universe, ten thousand years is but a flash.

"One day, you will understand that time is only a relative concept. Immortality is a lie that time has placed on humans.

"Even the boundless universe will come to an end one day, let alone us puny humans.

"The lifespan of an ordinary person is 150 years. I have lived to be more than 500 years old. To an ordinary person, I can be considered to be immortal in a certain sense. 𝑵𝐎𝑣𝞮𝓵𝐔𝐒𝔟.𝔠𝒪𝗆

"Therefore, humans have been tirelessly researching how to transfer consciousness to mechas."

"Is there no way for you to continue living?" Nico asked unwillingly.

Muraka did not answer Nico's question directly. Instead, she asked, "Do you know why the forbidden mecha Scarlet Demon wants to find a master for itself?"

This question stumped Nico. He had never thought about Scarlet Demon's thoughts carefully. Now that Muraka had asked him, Nico also felt that something was wrong.

The Scarlet Demon was a powerful forbidden mecha. It was free to move about alone. Why did it need to find a master for itself?

"Because Scarlet Demon is like me," Muraka answered herself. "His soul is about to reach its end. His mechanical consciousness is like a human. It has a lifespan.

"Whether it is the human soul or the machine's consciousness, they are constantly fluctuating and depleting.

"If one only consumes without replenishing, one's soul and consciousness will be exhausted one day.

'Therefore, Scarlet Demon thought of a way. He created the Forbidden

Meditation Technique and found himself a master in Scarlet. As long as Scarlet cultivates the Forbidden Meditation Technique, he would drive the forbidden mecha.

'Scarlet Demon is able to absorb the souls of those slaughtered, replenishing his soul power and extending his lifespan."

Nico seemed to have seen hope. He said, "Teacher Muraka, in other words, as long as you become a forbidden mecha and find a mecha master who practices the Forbidden Meditation Technique to replenish your soul power, you can extend your life.

Muraka was not so optimistic. She said, "The fact that I can attach my consciousness to the forbidden core is a coincidence. It's an accidental result of the laboratory explosion, not a scientific plan.

"If I want to extend my life, I must first transfer my consciousness completely to a mecha. The technology of consciousness transfer has yet to be mastered by humans.

'Even if I were lucky enough to transfer my consciousness to the mecha and become a forbidden mecha, I might not be able to find a suitable master.

'Scarlet Demon spent a total of thirteen years to find Scarlet.

'Because the meditation coordinates of the Forbidden Meditation Technique are illusory images of killing and soul absorption, the cultivation process is not only extremely difficult but also extremely dangerous. It has high requirements for one's aptitude and various aspects.

'Scarlet Demon is lucky to find Scarlet.

"I reckon that there won't be a second Scarlet on this origin planet."

If Muraka wanted to extend his life, not only did she have to transfer her consciousness, but she also had to find a special genius who was suitable to cultivate the Forbidden Meditation Technique. It was extremely difficult.

The hope was slim.

However, Nico did not give up. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he

would do his best to fight for it.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw a speck of starlight in the distant sky.

In the next second, a hundred-meter-tall mecha stopped in front of Nico.

The mecha disappeared and Wu Yisheng stood in front of Nico.

When Wu Yisheng saw Nico, he heaved a sigh of relief. He first called Principal Liang to report the good news of finding Nico.

Then, he asked Nico about his encounter.

Nico did not hide much. He told him everything about how he had been deceived by Wang Fu, including what had happened in the underground passage.

It was just that Ning Shi was replaced by an unknown mysterious person..

After sending Nico back to his dormitory safely, Wu Yisheng brought his men back to Dongpo Ridge and entered the underground passage to check. He saw blood stains in the passage but did not see any corpses.

Thank you readers!

Apparently, the bodies had been taken away by the noble forces' army.

Since Nico had been found and the other clues had been cut off, Wu Yisheng did not investigate too much.

As for Wang Fu, he was already under Liang Wenli's control before Nico returned. Wei Yanping had sold Wang Fu to the academy according to Ning Shi's instructions.

With Liang Wenli's methods, Wang Fu would definitely end up in a miserable state. 𝐧𝑜𝗏𝞮𝑙𝑢𝓈𝕓.𝑐𝑜𝓜

The disturbance caused by Nico's disappearance had dissipated. The higher-ups of the academy had a tacit understanding and acted as if nothing had happened, as if Nico had never gone missing.

Only Ning Shi's game system prompt would not lie.

[ You have rescued Nico from the capture of the noble forces. Nico is grateful to the host. Character intimacy 5. Current character intimacy is 73. ]

[ When Nico's mood was at its lowest, the host's appearance warmed her heart. The host occupied a special place in Nico's heart. Character Intimacy 5. Current Character Intimacy: 78. ]

After the rescue operation, Nico's character intimacy increased by 10 points, reaching 78 points. Ning Shi was very satisfied.

Ning Shi's biggest gain from Nico's disappearance was not the intimacy between the characters, but the chance to find Wei Yanping, the spy, and temporarily control him.

The next day, Ning Shi wrote an application to join the Republican Party and handed it to Wei Yanping. In the Norse Republic, there were two conditions to join the Republican Party.

The first requirement was to write an application form to join the faction. This application form had to be uploaded to the AI network for public display.

Once this application was written, the possibility of joining other forces was basically cut off.

The second requirement was that there must be a recommendation letter from a person with sufficiently high status. The Republican Party did not accept just anyone, and the recommendation letter system had raised the threshold for joining the faction to a certain extent.

Ning Shi's sponsor was naturally Wei Yanping. The reason was that Wei Yanping had discovered Ning Shi as a rare talent in the process of investigating him.

In order to develop his own influence, a Vice Principal of an academy like Wei Yanping had to recommend at least a hundred people to join the Republican Party every year, so Ning Shi was not conspicuous among them.

On the 10th day of school, Ning Shi received an official letter of approval in his communication account. From then on, he officially became a member of the Republican Party.

The benefits of joining the Republican Party were immediately revealed. Ning Shi's citizen level increased by one Level, from a third-class citizen to a fourth-class citizen.

He enjoyed even more special treatment.

In the past two days, Ning Shi had been using Wei Yanping's authority in the academy to transfer the books and materials from the internal library of the Norse Republic Academy into Ball's database.

Today, the data transfer was completed, and Ball had awakened a new skill.

[ The pet Ball's database covers 99-75% of the Norse Republic Academy's library, reaching the standard of a Level 3 database. After Ball absorbed this data, it integrated and created a new skill Division.

[ Current skill level of Division: Level 1 ]

[ Division Level 1: As long as there is enough energy and material, the mechanical bird Ball can split into a large number of children. The children have a certain degree of independent consciousness and inherit part of the mother's abilities, but they are controlled by the mother. ]

[ The maximum number of sub-bodies that can be split at Level 1 is 100. ]

The database of Ball was getting richer and richer, and the advantages of being a mechanical life were displayed.

It had a Level 7 information processing ability, so it could quickly integrate all the data, learn this knowledge, and even produce new skills.

With Division, Ball really had the ability to form an army by itself and independently research and build mechas.

However, Ning Shi had a problem now. He lacked money and resources..

Just as Ning Shi was thinking about this, his watch received a message from Wei Yanping.

Thank you readers!

"Lord Ning, I have something urgent to discuss with you. I'll be waiting for you at the usual place at East Gate Commercial Street. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!"

In order to make it easier for Ning Shi to communicate with Wei Yanping, he had set the meeting point at Club 101 on East Gate Commercial Street.

After seeing Wei Yanping's message, Ning Shi turned down Ye Hongmian's invitation to have lunch with him. He rode the Hell Bike to Clubhouse 101.

Ning Shi ignored the waiter's greeting and went straight to the Black Diamond VIP room No. 3 with his head lowered. Wei Yanping was pacing back and forth in the room with an uncertain expression.

It seemed like something really big had happened.

He couldn't even sit down and think.

Seeing Ning Shi enter, Wei Yanping was delighted. He respectfully invited Ning Shi to sit on the leather sofa in the room, then closed the door and pressed the Do Not Disturb warning light.

Before Ning Shi could ask, Wei Yanping couldn't help but say, "Lord Ning, I just received a very important piece of news. Principal Liang Wenli is getting old and is preparing to retire!

"Before she retires, she has to choose one of the four Vice Principals as her successor."

When Ning Shi heard this news, he was a little surprised, but he wasn't as excited as Wei Yanping. He asked calmly, "Liang Wenli was doing well as the principal. Why does she suddenly want to retire?"

There was no one else in the room, and the soundproofing of the clubhouse was classified, but Wei Yanping could not help but lower his voice.

"Because Nico's disappearance was found out by the Archon. Now, the Archon and the Quartermaster have started to criticize Principal Liang. That's why Principal Liang has the intention to retreat."

After taking control of Wei Yanping, Ning Shi began to pay attention to the internal struggles of the Republican Party.

As the principal of the Norse Republic Academy, Liang Wenli belonged to the Dove Faction within the Republican Party. She advocated using advanced education and an advantageous environment to attract the advanced ideologists within the nobles. She attempted to use the weapon of thought to assimilate the aristocrats and opposed the armed struggle between humans. 𝓷𝒪𝑣𝐄𝓛𝓊𝑠𝑩.𝗰𝑂𝓂

The military supplies department was the Hawk Faction, which advocated eliminating the noble forces through military struggles, so as to take back the local armed forces and form a powerful country with a central power.

As for the administrative department led by the Archon, they were originally on the balanced side. They sided with the Dove Faction when the Hawk Faction was strong and helped the Hawk Faction when the Dove Faction was strong, maintaining internal balance.

However, the situation had changed in recent years.

The ideology of the Hawk Faction within the Republican Party was becoming more and more violent. After accumulating enough military power, the elites of the Norse Republic could no longer tolerate the grievances of being exploited and oppressed by the nobles for many years. They all expressed their desire to overthrow the noble class.

The administrative department had completely sided with the Hawk Faction.

Under such circumstances, the Republican Party as a whole still restrained the actions of the nobles and did not launch a large-scale attack.

It was all because of Liang Wenli.

Liang Wenli had been the president of the Norse Republic Academy for 28 years and was an evergreen in the Norse Republic's political scene.

Within the academy, the four Vice Principals were all students that she had trained herself. Her prestige in the academy was extremely high, and her rule was stable.

In the Republic, be it the administrative department or the military supplies department, there were students of hers who held important positions in every department.

There were a total of eight adjutants in the military supplies department and three of them were Liang Wenli's former students.

Liang Wenli's potential influence was evident.

As compared to Liang Wenli, Archon Morris and Quartermaster He Jingong were much less experienced.

This was because the system of the Norse Republic stipulated that the term of office of the Archon and the Quartermaster was five years, and they could only serve two consecutive terms.

The current Archon of the Republic, Morris, was only 41 years old and had just taken office two years ago. The Quartermaster, He Jingong, was slightly better. He was 47 years old this year and was currently in his second term. He had been in office for seven years.

Ning Shi had analyzed it seriously. Morris's support for the Hawk Faction was probably related to Liang Wenli.

The Archon was the nominal leader of the country, but he was always restricted by Liang Wenli when he implemented his policies.

No one would like a senior with a lot of experience and connections to be the emperor behind their backs. Morris had cursed Liang Wenli many times in private, calling her an old hag and an old fart.

No matter what, because of Liang Wenli's obstruction, the Republican Party had never been able to form an internal unity and start a military war with the nobles.

Hence, both Archon Morris and Quartermaster He Jingong had been trying to get Liang Wenli to step down.

'How did the Archon know about Nico's disappearance?" Ning Shi asked. "Did someone tell on you?

Wei Yanping still suppressed his voice and said softly, "When the Archon called Principal Liang, we happened to overhear it.

'Mr. Morris said that his men had observed Wu Yisheng's frequent movements and were worried that something big would happen. Therefore, he sent people to investigate the specific situation and learned about Nico's disappearance.

'But according to my guess, someone must have leaked the information. Pang Yuanqing is the most likely to have leaked the information."

'Even if the Archon knows about Nico, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Ning Shi analyzed. It was just a small negligence in management, and it did not cause serious consequences.

'Nico is still under the control of the Republican Party.

'Principal Liang can't be defeated by such a small matter.

'There must be a deeper reason for Liang Wenli's retirement.

Speaking of the deeper reason, Wei Yanping's expression was a little wretched. He said, "Lord, you're right. Nico's disappearance is just a fuse. The fact that there was a mole who leaked the information affected Principal Liang even more.."

"This means that there were people in the academy who are dissatisfied with Liang Wenli's rule.

Thank you readers!

"This is normal. She had been the principal for 28 years, and she was like a mountain blocking the hope of others to improve.

"Other than the traitor that made Principal Liang's heart turn cold, I guess there's another main reason. It's her personal love history."

Wei Yanping was particularly enthusiastic when it came to gossip. He even felt that the amount was a little too much.

"Lord, do you know Liang Wenli's family situation?"

Ning Shi shook his head. He did not pay attention to these details. Wei Yanping said, "Principal Liang has a harmonious family. Her husband is called Yu Qian, and he used to be the Vice Principal of the Norse Republic Academy.

"She and Yu Qian have two sons and one daughter, and nine grandchildren.

"Principal Liang and Yu Qian treated each other with respect and went hand in hand. Their marriage had always been envied by everyone.

"Five years ago, the republic's government even awarded them the title of model husband and wife.

"Little did anyone know that Principal Liang, who appeared to be a saint in front of others, was also secretly restless.

"She was keeping a lover behind her husband's back!

"In her third year as principal, when she was 46 years old, she fell in love with her student, Wu Yisheng!

"The two of them developed a deformed relationship that was not allowed by the secular world."

After Wei Yanping finished talking about this secret, he looked up at Ning Shi, wanting to see a shocked expression on his face, but Ning Shi felt nothing.

This kind of thing was not a big deal.

Once a person had power, regardless of gender, they would do something out of line.

Ning Shi had seen all kinds of gossip on Saturn and was already immune to these things.

Ning Shi was not surprised that the 46-year-old female principal was fooling around with an 18-year-old student. He still said calmly, "Do many people know about this relationship?"

Wei Yanping shook his head. "Principal Liang hid this matter very well. The outside world doesn't know about it. The reason why I know about it is because of my identity as a spy. I have the habit and need to collect information.

"Once, when I was drinking with Wu Yisheng, I deliberately made him drunk. It was only through his drunken words that I learned this secret.

"Wu Yisheng is a good person, but he loves to drink, and his alcohol tolerance is not good.

"He really loves Principal Liang, so he's very depressed about being Principal Liang's secret lover. I reckon that other than me, he must have drunk and told others about this depression."

Ning Shi understood and said, 'You mean that there's a mole in the academy. This mole also knows about Liang Wenli and Wu Yisheng's abnormal relationship and might have some evidence.

'The Archon and the others used this matter to threaten Liang Wenli.

"If Liang Wenli did not retire, her scandal will be exposed. This will be a devastating blow to the highly respected Liang Wenli.

'Liang Wenli has no choice but to retire."

Wei Yanping nodded and said, "That's right. That's exactly what happened.

Because of Liang Wenli's influence, the Archon didn't want to fall out with her.

Therefore, he didn't release the scandal and fought Liang Wenli to death.

Instead, he used threats.'

Ning Shi saw that Wei Yanping's expression was a little agitated and excited. He asked directly, 'ISO you think that you'll have a chance to fight for the position of principal after Liang Wenli retires?

'Yes, Lord Ning," Wei Yanping said. "If I become the principal, it's equivalent to you and the power behind you controlling the entire academy." 𝐧𝑜𝗏𝞮𝑙𝑢𝓈𝕓.𝑐𝑜𝓜

'This is also a great thing for you.'

Ning Shi had to admit that Wei Yanping was right. Ning Shi's main storyline mission was to completely control the power of the Norse Republic. If Wei Yanping could become the principal, then Ning Shi would indirectly control one-third of the power of the republic.

However, it was very difficult for Wei Yanping to be the principal, so Ning Shi had to pour cold water on him first.

'Judging from the current situation, the probability of you taking over the position of principal is very low.

'Wu Yisheng and Pang Yuanqing have the most advantage at the moment. Wu Yisheng was Liang Wenli's spokesperson. Even if Liang Wenli is willing to retire, she will definitely not be willing to give up her power completely. She would definitely want her lover, Wu Yisheng, to be her successor.

'There is also Pang Yuanqing. Since he is a mole, he must have completely sided with the Hawk Faction. With the support of the Archon and the

Quartermaster, and with Liang Wenli's weakness in his hands, there was a high chance that he would take over.

'I as for you and Teny, you're just two bystanders."

Wei Yanping also knew that his chances were not high, but he did not want to give up, so he said to Ning Shi with a smile.

'That's why I need your help."

Ning Shi did not comment, but asked, "What are the rules of the principal election?"

Wei Yanping explained, "This year's principal election will have four Vice Principals as candidates. The school board will publicly vote for them. The person with the most votes will be the principal.

'There are a total of 51 candidates for the school board, and there is a chairman and two vice chairmen. The chairman's vote is equal to 10 votes, and the vice chairman's vote is equal to 5 votes.

'The current chairman is Principal Liang Wenli, and the vice chairmen are Archon Morris and Quartermaster He Jingong.

'The rest of the school committee members each have one vote, so the entire school committee has 68 votes. It's worth mentioning that the four of us Vice Principals are also members of the school committee, so we also have one vote."

Ning Shi looked at Wei Yanping and continued to ask, 'Without my help, how many votes can you get?"

Wei Yanping rubbed his hands awkwardly and replied, "Eight votes, including my own vote. I can get a total of eight votes..'

Wei Yanping's votes seemed to be very few, but Ning Shi was not surprised at all. This was because most of the school committee members were Liang Wenli's people.

Thank you readers!

Wei Yanping was able to rope in seven committee members under Liang Wenli's control, which was already considered pretty good.

"How do you want me to help you?" Ning Shi asked again.

Wei Yanping sent a document to Ning Shi on his smart wristwatch and said, "Lord Ning, this list is my investigation of all the members of the school committee.

"It records their details.

"I've carefully screened them, and there are 21 of them who are suitable to be controlled by forceful means. They either have bad behavior or ulterior motives, so they can be used by us.

"Once we control these 21 people, plus the votes I previously controlled, we have 29 votes. The chances of winning are very high."

The four candidates had a total of 68 votes. If he could get 29 votes, Wei Yanping had a high chance of being elected as the principal.

After all, if Pang Yuanqing and Wu Yisheng fought, they would definitely split the votes, and Teny would definitely have his own ideas.

The candidates' votes might not be too concentrated.

Ning Shi carefully read the document that Wei Yanping sent over.

"Name: Zhao Lizong, Age: 41, Title: Trained a department officer, personality defect: 1. In December 169, he received a total of 2 million origin coins from Wang Hu, changing Wang Hu's annual assessment from passing to excellent. 2. Keep 3 mistresses, respectively..." 𝐧𝑜𝗏𝞮𝑙𝑢𝓈𝕓.𝑐𝑜𝓜

After Wei Yanping and Ning Shi finished reading the form, he said proudly, "I was originally a spy for the nobles. I usually collect all kinds of information in the academy.

"Therefore, I know everything about these committee members like the back of my hand."

Ning Shi looked at it very carefully because controlling a person with a chip bomb alone was not enough.

Everyone had different personalities and situations. Even if there was a chip bomb in their body, they might not listen to Ning Shi.

Some people had tough personalities and would rather die than submit. Some people appeared to be obedient, but in reality, they were secretly resisting behind their backs.

The reason why Ning Shi was able to control Wei Yanping was not only because of the chip bomb but also because of his identity as a spy and his giving Wei Yanping positive encouragement.

He expressed his willingness to help him revitalize his family and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Only with such a multi-pronged approach could he barely subdue him.

Wei Yanping's information was very detailed, especially the 21 people he marked. They were indeed vermin of the academy. These people had a lot of corruption problems. Their humanity had long been corrupted by wealth, sex, and alcohol. It was indeed easier to control.

Even if one or two people resisted, Ning Shi could bear the risk.

For the position of principal, Ning Shi was willing to take the risk.

However, he didn't have enough chip bombs, so he needed to go to Yuan City to trade with Tong Baiming.

Thinking of Tong Baiming, Ning Shi had an idea. He said to Wei Yanping, "When candidates participate in the principal election, do they have a campaign slogan?

Wei Yanping did not expect Ning Shi to ask this. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, "Yes, but it's just some formal slogans. There's not much substance."

Ning Shi said, 'Then I'll think of a slogan for you. 'The school is financially independent.' You can promise the school committee that after you become the principal, the school will achieve self-sustenance within three years. You won't have to rely on the administrative department's funding and the military supplies department's weapons support.

"I saw your name list just now. Among the school committee members, there are still some good teachers who are dedicated to the development of the academy. As long as you raise this slogan, these people will definitely vote for you.

'With the help of the school committee members that I've helped you control, your final votes will definitely exceed 34 votes. The position of principal is set in stone."

When Wei Yanping heard Ning Shi's words, he was a little anxious. He retorted loudly, "Lord, you can't do that. I can't just shout your campaign slogan. Once I make a substantial promise, it will be verified by the Al network

'The time limit of the promised campaign slogan cannot exceed one year. If we propose that the academy be financially independent, it must be realized within one year.

"If I can't fulfill my campaign promise, not only will I be stripped of my qualifications as principal and expelled from the academy, but I will also face jail time if the situation is serious.."

326 Goodbye (1)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Hearing Wei Yanping's rebuttal, Ning Shi glared at him coldly. He no longer concealed his murderous aura and directly enveloped Wei Yanping's entire body.

Thank you readers!

This murderous aura came from endless slaughter. It was a condensation method that Ning Shi had comprehended from the Destruction Sword Intent of his main body. It condensed the murderous aura of killing radioactive creatures into Baleful Qi.

A normal person would be scared to death if they were hit by the Baleful Qi. As a mecha master, Wei Yanping was not that scared.

Under the cover of the Baleful Qi, he only felt his entire body turn cold. He recalled the feeling of suffocation when Ning Shi grabbed his neck a few days ago.

The aura of death approached again.

Looking at Wei Yanping's frightened eyes, Ning Shi said coldly, "You'd better know your place. I'm ordering you to do this, not asking you to do it. Do you understand?"

Wei Yanping immediately came to his senses. His legs went limp and he knelt on the ground. His head was pressed against the carpet in the room as he said in fear, "Please forgive me, my lord. I was blinded just now and lost my sense of propriety. I won't dare to do it again.

"Your words are my highest standard of action. I will do as you say."

Seeing Wei Yanping's good attitude in admitting his mistake, Ning Shi put away the murderous aura on his body and stood up. "I will control the committee members on the list one by one. During this period of time, you have to keep a low profile. Don't cause any unnecessary trouble and attract unnecessary attention.

"Since I dared to let you mention the campaign slogan, I will definitely make it happen!"

Ning Shi then left the room, leaving Wei Yanping standing there.

Wei Yanping's expression was uncertain. There seemed to be a myriad of emotions in his heart, and in the end, it turned into a helpless sigh.

Ning Shi's main goal was to ensure that Wei Yanping became the principal. For this goal, he could take risks and even use some radical methods.

Controlling people was risky, and so were campaign slogans.

Ning Shi wasn't confident that he could make the academy financially independent within a year.

However, if he didn't do so, Wei Yanping wouldn't be able to be the principal.

Ning Shi had a guess in his heart, but he did not tell Wei Yanping directly.

With Liang Wenli's political wisdom, once she decided to compromise and retire, giving up her position as the principal of the academy, she would definitely have reached an agreement with the Archon and the Quartermaster.

It was very likely that they had already appointed a new principal.

With Liang Wenli's influence, coupled with the votes in the hands of the Archon and the Quartermaster, if Wei Yanping did not come up with a shocking slogan, even if he got 29 votes, it was very likely that it would end up in vain.

If Wei Yanping had just straightened his attitude and accepted Ning Shi's instructions unconditionally, Ning Shi might have explained it to him. However, he had actually forgotten his identity, so Ning Shi was too lazy to waste his breath.

For this kind of dog that betrayed its master, it had to be beaten from time to time.

Ning Shi did not return to the academy after leaving the clubhouse. He called Ye Hongmian first to inform her that he would be taking a leave of absence for tomorrow's class.

Then, he got on the Hell Bike and drove towards Exit 9.

After exiting the city gate, Ning Shi turned on the GPS and drove straight to Yuan City at full speed.

The straight-line distance between Norse City and Yuan City was about 3400 kilometers. Due to the terrain, they needed to take a detour. Ningshi had to drive at least 4000 kilometers. 𝔫𝒐𝑽ℯ𝑙𝑈𝗌𝕓.𝔠𝞸𝑚

With the speed of the Hell Bike, it would take about seven hours to drive all the way.

On the way, he passed through the territory of many radioactive creatures. Ning Shi had to stop from time to time to kill the radioactive creatures in his way.

On the way, Ning Shi also encountered a wandering Level 7 radiation creature, the eight-legged giant lizard. This giant lizard's Physique had reached 46 points, and it also had the regeneration talent.

Ning Shi spent almost an hour grinding it to death.

The Level 7 radioactive creature gave Ning Shi 100,000 experience points. Ning Shi also used a biochemical technique to dissect its corpse and obtained a Level 7 meat essence.

After consuming it, his Physique increased by 0.2 points, increasing his Physique to 47-7.

Ever since his Physique had increased to 40 points, the effect of consuming meat essence below Level 4 was negligible. Therefore, the meat essence decomposed from the nearly 700 radioactive creatures that Ning Shi killed on the second day after the exam was preserved.

This time, he was prepared to make a big deal with Tong Baiming.

He walked and stopped along the way. It took him a total of 12 hours before he arrived at Yuan City.

Standing above the familiar abyss, Ning Shi gave Tong Qingqing a call. After about 5 minutes, Tong Qingqing arrived on the ground in a flying car with a pleasantly surprised face.

'Ning!"

Tong Qingqing jumped down from the flying car and threw herself into Ning Shi's arms.

Since the last time they parted, the two of them had not seen each other. When Ning Shi came to Yuan City for the second time, Tong Qingqing was cultivating in seclusion, and Ning Shi did not disturb her.

'Ning, I discovered two more delicious restaurants. I'll take you there!"

Ning Shi had traveled for half a day, but he had not eaten a single grain of rice.

His stomach was already rumbling with hunger. Now that he had arrived at Yuan City, he was not in a hurry to find Tong Baiming. He followed Tong Qingqing to the snack bar to satisfy his appetite.

Tong Qingqing was indeed a big foodie. Her taste was very similar to Ning Shi's. The recommended snack bar was mainly spicy and fragrant. Ning Shi ate very happily.

After eating heartily, he said softly to Tong, "I'm going to talk to Tong Baiming about the deal. Do you want to go?

Tong Qingqing gently rubbed her round belly and said, "I'm not going, I'm not going! Ever since my father obtained the meat essence, his condition has become crazier and crazier. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I've been avoiding him.."

Tong Baiming kept his promise and removed the control rights of Tong Qingqing's Helium Heart, giving her complete freedom.

Thank you readers!

In order to express goodwill to Ning Shi, Tong Baiming even gave Tong Qingqing the status of the little princess of the Tong family and gave her a lot of resources.

Therefore, Tong Qingqing had been living very comfortably during this period of time.

Ning Shi saw the sincere and bright smile on this beautiful girl's face and felt very gratified.

Since Tong Qingqing wasn't willing to go, Ning Shi didn't force her. He called Tong Baiming's butler and was then sent to the Tong residence in a private car.

Ning Shi was arranged to drink tea in the hall. After waiting for about 20 minutes, Tong Baiming, who was wearing a white coat, rushed in.

"I'm sorry, Ning Shi. I'm in the middle of an experiment and can't interrupt it. Sorry for making you wait!"

"I came too suddenly. I should have made an appointment with you in advance, but I've prepared a big surprise for you this time," said Ning Shi with a smile.

Tong Baiming's expression changed. He sat on the chair at the main seat and took a sip of tea before saying, "Haha, I'm in urgent need of more meat essence. If you can sell me 500 portions of meat essence at once, that would be the biggest surprise."

Ning Shi used the Eye of Truth to check Tong Baiming's information and found that his Physique had increased by 1 point, reaching 42 points.

It had only been 20 days since he obtained the meat essence, but his physique had already grown again. It seemed that his research had indeed made progress. No wonder his demand for meat essence was so strong.

Ning Shi did not keep her in suspense. He said directly, "There's a lot of meat essence. I've prepared a total of 600 portions this time, enough to satisfy your needs for the time being.

"But this isn't the surprise I was talking about."

When Tong Baiming heard Ning Shi's words, he did not pay attention to the surprise at all. 600 portions of meat essence had already made him so happy that he almost fainted.

He had verbally told Ning Shi that he wanted 500 portions of meat essence, but in his heart, he had expected to be able to buy 50 portions.

Based on his understanding of the butcher profession, the meat essence was the treasure of the butcher profession. The drop rate was extremely low and very rare.

He had never expected to obtain a large amount of meat essence.

Now that he heard Ning Shi's words, he could not believe it. He carefully confirmed, "Are you sure you want to sell me 600 portions of meat essence?"

"That's right, 600 portions." Ning Shi nodded.

Tong Baiming repeatedly confirmed, and after getting Ning Shi's affirmative answer, he was so excited that his fingers were trembling.

He calculated in his heart that with these 600 portions of meat essence, his biochemical modification technique could at least advance, and his physique could at least increase by two to three times.

After a long time, he managed to suppress his excitement and asked, "600 portions of meat essence. This is not a small amount. What do you want to trade?"

Ning Shi already had a plan. He did not beat around the bush and said simply,

"I only want two things, helium ores, and chip bombs.

"I want 100 chip bombs, and the rest will be traded with helium ores at a discount."

Tong Baiming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ning Shi's deal.

Just like the radioactive people, the savages living in the wild had a relatively abundant reserve of helium ores. As the big boss of Yuan City, Tong Baiming had a huge reserve of helium ores.

As for the chip bomb, it was Tong Baiming's exclusive invention. It was very rare in the Norse Republic and sold very expensive. The unit price of a single one was at least 5 million origin coins.

But for Tong Baiming, the manufacturing cost of a single chip bomb was less than 500,000 origin coins.

Ning Shi also knew about Tong Baiming and Yuan City's situation, so the proposed trade plan was acceptable to both sides.

Therefore, the deal was quickly completed.

Tong Baiming had obtained the 600 portions of meat essence that he desired, and most of them were Level 3 and above. The smile on his face never stopped.

Ning Shi got the chip bombs and could control more subordinates. At the same time, he got a total of 105 kilograms of helium ore, which solved the need for helium ore for Ball.

Ever since the energy absorption talent had been upgraded to purple, the speed at which Ball absorbed the helium ore had become faster and faster. In its body, the helium ore core, which was originally the size of a fingernail, had now expanded to the size of a ping-pong ball.

This time, he had obtained a large number of helium ores, which could allow Ball to absorb and grow as much as it wanted.

This was a win-win deal.

After the transaction was completed, Tong Baiming was obviously more enthusiastic toward Ning Shi. He said with a smile, "Ning Shi, you said you wanted to give me a surprise?

Ning Shi nodded and asked, 'Mr. Tong, do you want the savages to return to human society and become members of the republic openly?"

Before Ning Shi asked this question, he already had an answer in his heart.

If there was a choice, who would be willing to stay in the wilderness that was filled with danger? 𝓝𝓞𝒱𝖾𝑳𝑢𝓈𝒃.𝒞𝒐𝗆

The underground city seemed glorious, and the neon lights seemed to never go out. But if they could live on the surface, who would want to stay underground forever?

Everyone wanted to live in a relatively safe and comfortable environment.

This was especially true for the savages. Without the protection of the mecha masters, the savages not only had to fight against the radioactive creatures, but they also had to be on guard against the republic forces.

New Star City, the city of the radioactive people, could openly trade helium ores with the higher-ups of the Norse Republic, but Yuan City could not because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

The deal could very well turn into one-sided bullying.

Therefore, Yuan City's helium ores were usually used for their own use. At most, they would dare to do some retail trade like chip bombs..

Thank you readers!

Tong Baiming looked at Ning Shi with a serious expression and slowly said, "Ning Shi, there are some things that can't be taken lightly. Is your so-called surprise to help us immune people obtain normal citizenship?

"This is impossible."

Tong Baiming shook his head and sighed, "We are not radioactive people, and we cannot completely expel the radioactive elements in our bodies. To radioactive people and ordinary humans, we are all aliens.

This is a natural barrier and standpoint that cannot be integrated."

"Of course not." Ning Shi smiled and said, "I've never thought of letting you guys completely integrate with the republic. The leader of your immune group also doesn't want to integrate, right? 𝓷𝒐𝑣𝗲𝓵𝐔𝑠𝓫.𝒞𝒪𝚖

"After all, you're used to being a local tyrant, and you don't want anyone to step on your head.

"My goal is to make the republic recognize the legal status of the immune people and allow you to build a city for the immune people in a relatively safe area in the wild."

Ning Shi had previously learned from Tong Baiming that there were more than a dozen cities like Yuan City in the wilderness where savages lived. Yuan City was the largest and most prosperous.

The living conditions in other cities were not as good as those in Yuan City. The living conditions of the savages as a whole were more miserable.

In order to defend and hide, most of the cities were built according to the terrain. In total, there were about 3.7 million immune people.

Because the relatively safe areas with fewer radioactive creatures were basically in the hands of the Norse Republic, the savages had to build cities in different directions and survive in small groups.

Tong Baiming frowned and said, "We've thought of the method you mentioned long ago. We immune people also want to be like the radioactive people and build our own city on the sunny land. We can have a legal and fair trading status and living environment.

"We have accumulated the funds and resources to build the city, but without the approval of the republic, everything is just a dream.

"I've looked for the higher-ups of the republic many times, but no one was willing to acknowledge us, let alone give us land to build a city. Even if I spent a lot of money to bribe those higher-ups, this matter was not discussed."

Tong Baiming's words gave Ning Shi a new understanding of his status. He was able to represent the immune people to negotiate with the higher-ups of the Norse Republic, which meant that he might already be the leader of the immune people.

'There's no harm for the Norse Republic government to accept the group of people who are immune. Why haven't any republic officials been willing to push for it?" Ning Shi asked.

Tong Baiming sighed and said, "It's all about benefits. On the one hand, it's because of historical reasons. When we broke off relations with the Norse Republic, it was very unpleasant. Both sides had an unexplainable blood debt.

'The main reason is because of the radioactive people's New Star City. For their own benefit, the radioactive people resolutely opposed us building a city. The republic had to choose between the radioactive people and the immune people. Of course, they chose the radioactive people with more numbers and stronger abilities.'

Although Tong Baiming did not say it directly, Ning Shi instantly understood the stakes.

The biggest source of income for the radioactive people was the helium ore trade with the Norse Republic.

They took advantage of the fact that they were not afraid of radiation to mine helium ores in places with dense radiation elements.

This kind of advantage was also available to people who were immune to radiation. They were not afraid of radiation elements and could also mine helium ores in the wild.

This was a threat to the radioactive people's advantage in the helium ore trade.

Therefore, New Star City would never allow anyone to build a city that was for immune people. They wanted to monopolize the helium ore trade.

Coincidentally, the republic's policy had always been to unite with New Star City to fight against the noble forces. Therefore, because of New Star City's tough attitude, they directly rejected the immune people.

"If you trust me, we can cooperate. I will let the immune people have their own city under the sun."

Tong Baiming looked at Ning Shi and felt that this young man who had just turned 18 was indulging in wild fantasies. If Ning Shi had not just taken out 600 portions of meat essence, he would have thrown Ning Shi out.

Thinking of the meat essence, Tong Baiming forcefully suppressed the impatience in his heart and said gently, "Mr. Ning Shi, let's introduce ourselves to each other again. I am now the chairman of the Alliance of the Immune Cities.

'May I ask in what capacity are you discussing cooperation with me? Can you represent the collective will of the republic?"
