Chapter 131 The Powerful Mecha Group

After dinner.

Lin Zichen took out the 10 kilograms of live and dead slug meat from the refrigerator and did not avoid Shen Qinghan, choosing to eat it directly in front of her.

[You devoured the life essence of a large number of "living dead slugs"]

[Alive and Dead Slug Album: 10%]

After swallowing it, Lin Zichen put the useless dead slug meat into a garbage bag and took it outside to throw away when he went downstairs.

"Xiaochen, why are you using a garbage bag to store live and dead slug meat?"

Shen Qinghan asked with a puzzled look.

In her eyes, Lin Zichen just took the living and dead slug meat out of the refrigerator, touched the meat inside with his fingers, and then put it in a garbage bag. It looked very strange.

Lin Zichen explained: "The meat of these living and dead slugs has gone bad and needs to be thrown away."

"Broken?" Shen Qinghan was a little confused: "But when I signed for the package for you, it looked very fresh."

Lin Zichen said, "It was fresh when you signed for it, but I've already absorbed all the essence from it, so it will spoil soon."

"Absorb the essence from the meat?"

Shen Qinghan was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is this your superpower?"

Lin Zichen nodded: "Yes, this is my superpower. I can absorb the essence of the meat of exotic beasts with just a thought, and thus gain some of the abilities of the related exotic beasts."

He no longer hid it and shared with Shen Qinghan the secret of his ability to devour the flesh of exotic beasts without hesitation.

After all, we live together. As time goes by and Shen Qinghan swallows up too much, she will sooner or later become suspicious. It is better to tell her now.

We are in a relationship where we plan to get married after graduation, so we should share secrets that need to be shared. There is nothing to hide.

"Absorb the essence of exotic beast meat and gain the attributes of the related exotic beast?"

Shen Qinghan was shocked, her cherry lips opened instinctively, her face full of disbelief.

After a moment of coming to her senses and digesting this shocking secret, she said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder you didn't choose the gene fusion path, but insisted on becoming a pure-blooded human. With this superpower, there's no need for gene fusion at all."

After she finished speaking, she quickly became somewhat depressed and said, "I thought that with my gene fusion compatibility of 21%, I would definitely become as powerful as you in the future, and be known as the peerless duo of you, and then be spread by word of mouth. Now it seems that I was overthinking it."

Lin Zichen laughed and said, "Aren't the words 'husband and wife' much more valuable than the words 'peerless twins'?"

Shen Qinghan said a little coquettishly: "But I just want to be called the peerless duo with you!"

"They will be called the two most outstanding people in the world."

Lin Zichen comforted him gently, "You have an unknown superpower. When you develop it in the future, you might be even more powerful than me."

"That seems to be the case."

Shen Qinghan blinked her clear eyes.

She said it was, but in her heart she felt it was not the case at all.

Lin Zichen's superpower is so powerful, so powerful that it is outrageous. There is probably no other superpower in the world that is more powerful than this one.

She knew very well that she would never be able to be called the two most outstanding people in the world together with Lin Zichen in this lifetime.

She had only one extravagant hope in her heart, which was that she would not be left too far behind by Lin Zichen in the future, would not become a burden to him in his progress, and would be able to provide him with help.

Well, that's enough.

Thinking about this in his mind, Shen Qinghan suddenly realized something.

Xiaochen is actually willing to tell me such an important secret?

Does this mean that I am the most important person in his heart?

That’s definitely the case!

Thinking of this, Shen Qinghan's mood suddenly improved, and he completely put aside the regret of not being able to be called the two most outstanding people.

…

2:45 pm.

Lin Zichen did not go to the research institute, but followed Shen Qinghan to the gymnasium to watch the match between the 8th and 9th place on the peak list.

There were many people coming to watch the battle, including teachers and students, as well as people from the Mecha Group.

Jishen Group is now the largest partner of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Shanhai University. 80% of the various alloy equipment in the School of Mechanical Engineering are provided by Jishen Group.

The Jishen Group has two purposes in spending such a huge amount of financial resources to support the School of Mechanical Engineering.

1. Promote mechanical transformation and prove that mechanical transformation is not weaker than gene fusion, and may even be stronger, because mechanical transformation is more universal, and the number of people who are eligible for mechanical transformation is far greater than the number of people who are eligible for gene fusion.

2. To expand the group’s influence, one of the requirements for cooperation is that the School of Mechanical Engineering of Shanhai University must send graduates to the Jishen Group every year.

In general, the Mecha Group just wants to expand its influence.

"Xiaochen, look at the corridor on the second floor. The mechanical genius girl we often see on the Internet is right up there."

Shen Qinghan poked Lin Zichen and motioned him to look upstairs.

Lin Zichen saw it a long time ago.

At this time, in the corridor on the second floor, people from the Mecha Group were staying with the leaders of the School of Mechanical Engineering.

Among them, the mechanical genius girl has more than half of her body made of alloy, which is very eye-catching.

"Xiaochen, who do you think would be more powerful if the genius from Kyoto University and the mechanical genius girl upstairs fought each other?"

Shen Qinghan asked curiously.

She first heard the phrase "peerless twins" from the marketing of the Kyoto University genius and the mechanical genius girl. She had always been curious about who would be stronger between these two top geniuses in different fields.

Lin Zichen was also very curious about this question.

However, the Kyoto University genius and the mechanical genius girl have been marketed and hyped for so many years, but they have never fought each other.

Because both sides know that fighting will bring no benefits, only harm.

As long as there is no fighting and no one is determined to be stronger, this topic will continue.

This is good for both parties.

"I think we can easily tell who's more powerful, the Kyoto University genius or the mechanical genius girl, by just seeing who wins the upcoming duel."

"If the ninth-place mechanic wins, then the mechanic genius girl is more powerful."

"If the 8th-place Evolutionary wins, then the Kyoto University genius is more powerful."

Lin Zichen analyzed it logically.

The mechanical student ranked 9th on the Peak List had his body transformed by the Mecha Group, which well reflects the strength of the Mecha Group.

If this 9th-ranked mechanical student can successfully defeat the 8th-ranked evolutionary student, it means that mechanical transformation is stronger than gene fusion.

To a certain extent, this reflects that the mechanical genius girl is stronger than the genius from Kyoto University.

Of course, these are all speculations and may not be accurate.

…

Soon, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, both participants in this duel came on stage.

The 8th evolved student is a young man with a pair of horns on his head.

The 9th-ranked mechanical student is a young man covered in a mechanical exoskeleton.

The moment the two of them came on stage.

Four extremely strong transparent glass walls are erected around the martial arts stage to protect the audience from accidental injuries from the contestants on the stage.

Like the mechanics, when they fight, they always fire artillery and bullets fly everywhere.

If there were no glass walls, the audience would have to lie down even before the match was over.

For the same reason, there is no referee on the martial arts stage.

"The showdown begins!"

At the command from the radio, the two men on the martial arts stage instantly started fighting.

In an instant, the arena was filled with artillery fire, and there was a huge sound of various hot weapons pouring out. Suddenly, thick smoke billowed and visibility was very low.

Fortunately, Lin Zichen possesses the biological attribute [Eye of the Sky], and his vision is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Even though the martial arts arena was filled with smoke at this moment, he could still see the battle situation clearly.

At the beginning of the duel, the mechanical student relied on the anti-airflow propulsion device to fly high into the sky, and used the advantage of air strikes to pour firepower on the evolutionary students below.

Since the evolved creatures couldn't attack the mechanical creatures, they protected their heads and hid on the martial arts stage, enduring the firepower of the thermal weapons poured down by the mechanical creatures.

In just a moment, the evolved creature's body was covered with bullet holes and many parts were blown to pieces.

But he was not dead, he was just covered in blood and became very weak.

After dumping all its ammunition, the mechanical creature landed on the ground, switched to melee mode, and fought hand-to-hand with the already seriously injured evolutionary creature, punching every punch to the flesh.

The melee combat lasted for several minutes.

The end result was that the Evolutionary was beaten to the point of lying on the martial arts stage, dying.

As for the mechanical creature, only some cracks appeared on its mechanical exoskeleton, but it still looked intact.

When the result of this duel came out, there was immediately a burst of discussion at the scene.

"The Evolution Academy used to be able to suppress the Mechanical Academy, but since the cooperation between the Mecha God Group and the Mechanical Academy, the situation has been reversed."

"Yeah, mechanical technology is so advanced. If mechanical transformation didn't require giving up the physical body, I would have wanted to be a mechanical human."

"After today's battle, I feel like the power structure of the school's colleges is going to change."

"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you say. The cyborgs only have an advantage in the early stages. They take advantage of the low-level gene-fused ones' inability to fly and gain the upper hand through aerial attacks."

"Indeed, once the biological level reaches a high enough level, many gene-fused beings will have the ability to fly. At that level, the cyborgs will be at a disadvantage."

"That requires a high enough biological level. For ordinary people like us, the highest biological level we can reach in this life is the advanced category. There is no point in discussing anything higher than that."

"Yeah, as far as colleges are concerned, I feel like the School of Mechanical Engineering is really going to make a comeback."

No one expected that the 9th-place mechanical student would win so easily. He basically beat the 8th-place evolutionary student like a dog the entire time.

All I can say is that the behemoth Mecha Group is so powerful that it can increase a person's strength exponentially through mechanical technology.

Lin Zichen listened to everyone's discussion for a while.

He doesn't care at all about which one will be more powerful in the future, the Evolution College or the Mechanical College.

He is only concerned about one thing now: how many credits can the top 10 people on the peak list get in a month?

Thinking about this, he searched for relevant information on the school app and soon found the answer.

The first place winner can earn 1,000 credits per month.

Second place earns 900 credits per month.

Third place earns 800 credits per month.

And so on, until the tenth place, you can get 100 credits per month.

In addition to the credit reward information above, you can also see information about the rules for the top rankings.

1. Freshmen must participate in the freshman competition in the next semester before they can compete for the top rankings.

2. There is only one challenge opportunity per week to impact the top leaderboard, and when impacting the top leaderboard, you are not allowed to challenge opponents who are 50 ranks higher than you.

You only have one chance to reach the leaderboard each week, and you cannot challenge opponents who are 50 places higher than you.

There are a total of 500 places on the Peak List.

In other words, starting from the next semester after participating in the freshman competition, it will take at least 10 weeks to reach the top.

The freshman competition starts in the middle of the next semester. I calculated that if I want to top the list, it will be near the end of the second semester of my sophomore year.

"It feels like it's been a bit too long."

Lin Zichen muttered to himself.
