Following Xu Lingyuan's instructions, Lu Manman found the principal's office.

The principal's office door was ajar, and the person inside was speaking to a holographic projection. The voice came through intermittently, and the tone revealed barely concealed anxiety.

"The front lines are suffering defeat after defeat, and the soldiers are in dire need of help. I am also very anxious, but training a group of officers is not so simple. It will take at least one or two years, right?"

“I understand your difficulties, but I can only do my best. I plan to start deploying these new students in the second semester of their sophomore year, but as you know, this is only a temporary solution.”

"Unless we figure out where the Zerg got all that strange dark matter, sending more and more soldiers to the front lines is just like drinking poison to quench thirst. Those soldiers are not just cold numbers, but vibrant lives, every father's precious children. It really breaks my heart to watch them die one by one with their mental breakdowns and no self-respect."

Has the situation become so dire? I haven't really paid attention to the long road ahead for Kaiping Xing, who is focused solely on farming.

Dark matter, mental collapse? Is it that stinking stuff that stuck to the warship last time?

Creak!

The door opened, and the principal walked out with a serious expression.

Lu Manman paused upon seeing the entrance, "Who are you?"

Lu Manman quickly stood at attention. "Good morning, Principal! I am Zhao Jianguo from Class A1 of the 2013 Mecha Class..."

"Oh, I know you. It's good that you're here." Before Lu Manman could finish speaking, the principal was interrupted. After a series of operations on the personal terminal, the principal said, "I know about your mental strength test. Go to another place to take the test now. I'll give you your student card."

"Huh?" Lu Manman was a little confused. She opened her personal terminal and saw a student card information. She clicked on it and saw that it was an address. "Okay, I'll go now."

It seems I'll have to make another trip.

Lu Manman followed the address provided in the information and navigated there.

I ran into my three roommates on the way.

Zhao Bo, with his sharp eyes, spotted Lu Manman and asked curiously, "Did the principal agree?"

Lu Manman shook her head, "Not yet, they want me to go to another place for another test."

Could it be that little pavilion where only those with a time rating of 2S or higher are qualified to enter for testing? Thinking of this, Xu Lingyuan became uneasy.

"I'll go with you."

Zhao Bo looked at Xu Lingyuan suspiciously: "Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, you're the freshman representative, don't you need to go back and prepare properly?"

Xu Lingyuan smiled slightly, "It's still early, let's go together."

After saying that, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He was also very curious about how good Zhao Jianguo's mental strength was, since the principal had called him over there for the test.

Zhao Bo: "I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I'll go too."

As she spoke, she hooked her arm around Ye Xingfan's neck, "You're coming too, the entire 302 team is going."

Ye Xingfan reluctantly agreed, as he was also curious to know whether people without any spiritual power truly existed in the world.

Seeing that the others had followed, Lu Manman asked curiously, "How much mental and physical strength do you have?"

Zhao Bo said proudly, "Both my mental and physical strength are SS."

Ye Xingfan: "I'm the same as him."

Xu Lingyuan smiled slightly, "Same."

There were only a handful of people with a 3-second count, and just as few with a 2-second count. Unexpectedly, she encountered three of them at once.

Lu Manman: "Are you all this amazing? If I'm not good enough, will I be forced to quit?"

Zhao Bo quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, you were recommended here, they wouldn't dare to easily turn you away."

Lu Manman: ...Maybe it's okay if my aptitude is a little worse.

Realizing that Lu Manman didn't want to study here in the first place, Zhao Bo continued, "However... if one's mental strength is too low, one cannot control a mecha, and it's possible that one will be asked to leave."

Lu Manman frowned, still hoping that her aptitude was average, so that she could learn how to make mechas and also have an excuse to be eliminated in the 100-day training.

The place where the level test was held wasn't far from here, and Lu Manman and the others arrived quickly.

This is a small, enclosed white pavilion with a door. Lu Manman leaned his quantum computer against it, and the door opened automatically.

After entering, the door closed automatically, and then a sweet voice rang out.

"Hello Zhao Jianguo! Would you like to take a level test?"

Lu Manman: "Yes!"

"Okay, please stand inside the gray circle and place your right hand on the test disk."

Following the instructions, Lu Manman stood in the designated spot and placed her hand on a milky white disc.

"Very good! Please focus your attention on the test panel and press it with all your might."

Lu Manman fixed his gaze on the disc and exerted force under his palm.

A moment later.

"Very good! The test results are in. Your mental strength is SSS+ and your physical strength is C."

Wow! It's that amazing? Lu Manman was shocked by the test results. She tried a few more times, but the results were the same. With mixed feelings, Lu Manman left the testing booth.

Zhao Bo crowded around and asked curiously, "How much?"

Lu Manman murmured, "My mental strength is actually 3S+..."

hiss!

The group gasped in astonishment! A genius was right beside me.

Zhao Bo patted Lu Manman on the shoulder: "Jianguo, you're amazing. There are only two people in our school with 3S, and we haven't even heard of anyone with 3S+ yet. You're incredible, truly one of a kind in the interstellar world."

Ye Xingfan looked at the short man in front of him in disbelief. "Is there something wrong with the machine?"

The probability of this small pavilion being used is very low, but it's not impossible. However, Xu Lingyuan always felt that there was no problem with this result. Could it be that the recommender already knew that Jian Guo had extraordinary qualities?

Lu Manman glanced around, noticing the various expressions on their faces, and coughed. "But my stamina is still only C-level."

"..."

This imbalance in academic performance is a bit outrageous.

Xu Lingyuan smiled slightly: "It's alright. Mental strength is hard to train, but physical strength is easy to train."

Ye Xingfan said with considerable disdain, "I'm already surprised that someone with your small frame can reach C-level. And are you sure you're not seeing things? Your mental strength is really 3S+?"

Ye Xingfan still didn't believe that Zhao Jianguo's mental strength could be higher than that of everyone in the entire interstellar space.

"That's the truth; it's been tested several times already."

As Lu Manman spoke, she turned on the computer and showed them the test results.

The group gathered around and saw the four test results, all of which showed a mental strength of 3S+ and a physical strength of C, so it seemed to be true.

However, putting 3S+ and c together feels particularly out of place.

Zhao Bo: "It's okay. We'll give you a good workout and try to get you to 3S+. I believe you have the potential."

"Maybe it will even increase your height. Once you're tall and have more muscles, let's see who dares to talk about you then."

The image of the "muscle Barbie" has struck me again!

Lu Manman shook her head. She wouldn't want to become like that unless absolutely necessary. She was still concerned about her appearance and was quite satisfied with her current look.
