Chapter 413: Chapter 188: Relieving Stress on Campus
In the second Mecha Virtual Training Room, a man in a sporty hoodie stepped out of the Virtual Cabin and calmly said to a hovering capture ball in front of him, “As everyone can see, the opponent was just too ferociously strong, and God Tao couldn’t hold them back. Please reward me to comfort Tao’s wounded spirit. This live broadcast is over, see you all next time. Love you guys!~”
Waving at the air, the man pocketed the floating ball.
“Huang Tao, you little rascal, sneaking around on the Battle Net again! Get to the front desk and help clean up!” A muscular man walked over and instantly spotted the hoodie-clad man trying to sneak away, yelling at him angrily.
“I’m on it, on it, boss. Don’t get mad, getting upset isn’t good for you,” said the hoodie-wearing man, real name Huang Tao, with nods and bows, finally causing the muscle-bound man to turn away, cursing under his breath as he left.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, the skinny Huang Tao muttered to himself, “Ah, even gods have to claw their way out of hell.”
Picking up a floating vacuum cleaner nearby, he set off; this was Mecha Club territory, and without inherent talent, he had to work hard to earn his place here.
…
Mu Fan glanced at the two companions still engaged in intense combat, shook his head, left the room, and of course, didn’t forget to pick up his set of tools.
Carefully traversing the laser corridor once more, Mu Fan breathed a sigh of relief only when he was back in the daylight.
The psychological pressure when facing lethal weapons was too great.
Looking around, with hardly anyone in front of the building, Mu Fan reinserted his earpiece and fastened his wristwatch again.
As soon as he completed this action, Mu Fan suddenly felt a jolt in his hand, followed by an endless, breath-taking verbal barrage in his ear: “Mu Fan, what do you mean by tossing away Lord Black’s vessel without notifying me, don’t you know how lonely it is for an intelligent life to be in a world with no one else, the sorrow floods in like glacial waters, leaving me no way out!”
Mu Fan swallowed hard. Was his behavior really that detestable?
If not for Black’s relentless verbal onslaught, Mu Fan might not have realized the enormity of his sins.
“Um…”
“Shut up! You absolutely cannot mistreat the great and pitiable Lord Black like this again,” the intelligent life’s voice nearly exploded.
Touching his nose sheepishly.
“Well, the main thing is I didn’t know the building was under an electromagnetic shield,” Mu Fan said innocently.
“Ah, Lord Black feels for you. I forgive you,” Black magnanimously declared, warming Mu Fan’s heart.
“So, you were trapped in there just now?” Mu Fan asked, as he realized a serious problem; if true, his greatest advantage could put him in tremendous danger if targeted.
“Of course not. I’m a network traverser. Unless another intelligent life exists on par with me, it’s impossible to completely confine me,” Black boasted with pride.
“So, you weren’t in the building just now?” Mu Fan felt something was off.
“Of course not. At the moment, there’s a bikini competition happening in a city in the southern hemisphere of this planet. I went to collect their body data. And you know what, even little chubby Nuonuo’s parameters are stronger than theirs… wait, I didn’t say a thing!” Black, excited by its own words, only realized its blunder after speaking a whole sentence!
“Black.”
…
“Black, don’t play dead, talk to me. Where did you go just now?”
…
Still silence surrounded him; Black had perfected the art of playing dead.
“You’re unbelievable.” Eventually, Mu Fan might have become numb to Black’s unyielding attitude, leaving behind a sharp remark before walking out of the area.
The military training was ongoing. Mu Fan planned to take a break before returning.
It seemed that after various departments’ freshmen had left, the campus returned to its usual tranquility, with busy upperclassmen walking swiftly, the green tung trees lining either side sheltering the ground and creating a long green corridor.
People shuttling through, some in various academy uniforms, some on floating skateboards, and others on foot. Occasionally, laughter could be heard.
Hearing distant chants, Mu Fan momentarily gazed at the harmoniously scenic cultural landscape, somewhat entranced.
Greedily breathing in the fresh air filtered by centuries-old Green Tong trees and numerous flower beds, that refreshing scent entered through his nostrils into his brain, invigorating his spirit.
Now, Mu Fan was wearing the freshman training uniform he had changed into inside the simulation training cabin.
At first glance, Mu Fan looked just like the other freshmen training in the circular sports field.
No, he was one of the freshmen, but he hadn’t participated in the basic military training, which had already been deemed unsuitable for him due to his special status.
Mu Fan ignored the gazes around him and slowly walked along the long road.
He seldom had such time to familiarize himself with the academy’s every blade of grass and tree, feeling the exceptionally harmonious breath of humanity and nature.
“Professor Zheng is doing a public lecture on the first day of school, I must go grab a seat.”
“My library access level is too low, there are two documents I just can’t view, so frustrating.”
“How has the guild been developing lately? I heard Taoyun Academy is getting ready to attack our base.”
…
“Let’s go see this year’s junior sisters, there are always so many beautiful girls each year, we gotta find them early.”
Conversations of people passed into Mu Fan’s ears one after another, these fresh people and things piquing his interest.
It wasn’t until he heard the last sentence that Mu Fan realized he had been walking in the wrong direction.
So he quickly turned around, heading towards the circular sports stadium that looked like a giant aircraft carrier silently resting on the ground from a distance.
It was a cacophony of voices inside!
Only when Mu Fan approached from a side entrance did he realize he had seriously underestimated the scale of the military training.
The visual impact of a military training scene of ten thousand people, compared to the hundred-person special training he had experienced, was unimaginable.
Troops in formation were actually carrying out drill training in orderly fashion, unlike the inhumane experiences Mu Fan and his companions had gone through, with nary a malicious military training command.
Even the smiles on many faces could be seen by Mu Fan.
It’s really quite relaxing, thought Mu Fan as a fair-skinned girl suddenly turned her head, accidentally catching eyes with him.
This made Mu Fan immediately turn his head away, causing the girl to snicker stealthily.
This must be the flavor of youth~
In the first sports field that gathered nearly ten thousand people, Mu Fan, like a quietly arriving fish, did not attract much attention, and the earnest instructors did not bother with this student who didn’t belong to their troops.
Mu Fan walked slowly along the perimeter, if one were to divide the directions according to the true north, he had just moved from the 8 o’clock direction to the 6 o’clock direction in a counter-clockwise manner.
Along the way, he really hadn’t seen a single acquaintance.
As the department with the highest number of students in Dingchuan Academy, the Mecha Academy’s freshmen occupied positions from the 9 to 1 o’clock direction, Fighting Department from 1 to 3 o’clock, and Ship-related majors from 4 to 6 o’clock.
So when Mu Fan passed by the Medical Department without casting a side glance, he didn’t notice that Chuchu’s eyes suddenly lit up in the team, and then she stealthily cast her gaze to the nearby side, where Wang Nuonuo from the Ship Department was.
At this moment, Wang Nuonuo was puffing her little face, staring at the young instructor who was increasingly handsome and yet more and more irritating.
