Zhao Bo exclaimed in surprise, "No way, you've never used a mecha before?"

Lu Manman nodded. She was just an old-fashioned person and had never actually learned how to use it. Well, the one in the game probably doesn't count.

"Oh dear, what a waste of your talent! How could you not have it? Come, come, let me teach you."

"First, concentrate your mental energy, aim at the crystal in the center of the necklace, and exert force!"

Lu Manman did as instructed. A flash of dark green light appeared, and a cool mecha suddenly appeared less than half a meter away from her. Lu Manman was startled.

Looking up at the mecha's legs made of an unknown metal, it was incredibly tall. Luckily, the classroom was tall and large enough, otherwise it would have made a hole.

Lu Manman turned her head to look at Zhao Bo, her eyes filled with a clear, innocent look.

Zhao Bo: "...Aim your mental energy at the cockpit, and you'll be sucked in. As for how to operate it, the teacher should teach you later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Manman was sucked into the cockpit in a whoosh. So this was the cockpit. This was the first time Lu Manman could openly touch such things.

This one looks more upscale than the one Ye Jia had sat in, but it still has a lot of buttons.

Standing on top, the view suddenly opened up, and looking at the classmates on the screen, I had the illusion of looking at tiny ants. I dared not move around too much, for fear of accidentally stepping on everyone.

In addition to the view directly in front, the screen also offers a view from behind, providing almost 360-degree coverage, and the view can be zoomed in and out at will.

Cool! That's so cool! But how do we get down?

There's a logout button in the game, but not here.

Lu Manman called down, "Can someone tell me how to get down?"

Because the microphone wasn't turned on, the people below couldn't hear her at all. Lu Manman shouted a few times before realizing the problem.

They immediately sent out a distress signal in the dormitory group chat.

Zhao Jianguo: How do we get down here?

Ye Xingfan: ……

Zhao Bo: ...

Xu Lingyuan: Jian Guo, don't rush. Let's have a video call. The interior of each mech is a little different, and a video call will make it clearer.

Xu Lingyuan then immediately called Lu Manman via video.

As soon as Lu Manman answered the call, three heads appeared on the holographic projection.

Zhao Bo: "Wow, is this the 3S mecha? It's so cool, I want one!"

Ye Xingfan's eyes were also full of envy. He was already 2S+, and if he ate more magical fruits, he should be able to upgrade to 3S.

Xu Lingyuan quickly scanned the mecha cockpit where Lu Manman was located and soon spotted the target in the lower left corner.

"Jianguo, stand at the control position and look to your lower left corner. That protruding square button should be it. Press it and you will be sent out by the mech."

The exit button is usually specially designed to be different from other buttons so that you can exit the mech immediately in an emergency.

"Okay, thank you, I'll give it a try."

Lu Manman hung up the personal terminal, pressed a button, and was instantly teleported out, appearing in front of the three people.

Lu Manman sighed, "Alright, now someone tell me how to put the mecha back into the necklace?"

Ye Xingfan: "...Just like when you released the mecha, focus your mental energy on the crystal."

Lu Manman did as instructed, and the mecha transformed into a streak of green light and darted into the necklace.

Lu Manman clicked her tongue in amazement, "That's so cool, but what's the principle behind it?"

Ye Xingfan: "That's a complicated matter. You should focus on learning mecha first."

During the conversation, the students all chose their mechs and held the hard-won mech necklaces in their hands with great affection.

Xiong Ba looked around. "Is there anyone who doesn't have a mecha now?"

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ba retrieved the remaining mecha necklaces. "Now that everyone has mechas, take good care of them. If nothing unexpected happens, they will become your comrades-in-arms in the future. I hope you can make good use of your mechas to protect your homeland and drive out the Zerg."

Alright, now let's get back to the main topic. We're going to learn how to use the mechs, starting with deploying and retracting them..."

The teacher taught attentively, and the students listened attentively.

The teacher combined theory with practice, and quickly helped everyone become familiar with their mechs.

Xiong Ba clapped his hands. "Alright! Half a day has passed. Everyone has gotten to know each other and learned what they needed to learn. Now you can have free time. You can try to control the mecha to do some simple actions, such as walking, turning around, and jumping."

The students were eager to get started, and at a command, they all climbed into their mechs and began practicing.

For a moment, it felt like we had entered a mecha baby playground. The mechas were learning each basic movement as seriously as babies, but because they were not proficient enough, all sorts of problems arose.

Some people walk with their arms and legs moving in unison, some trip and fall after only a few steps, bringing the mechs next to them down with them. A group of mechs lie on the ground, unable to get up, and some even walk like crabs.

In short, it was full of laughs. Xiong Ba watched it with a smile and quietly turned on the recording function of his personal computer, planning to watch it whenever he was in a bad mood.

When the focus shifted to Lu Manman, she adapted quite quickly.

Aside from a brief period of awkwardness at the beginning, they quickly became proficient, walking with the steadyness of an old dog and even dodging fallen mechs.

Xiong Ba nodded with satisfaction. As expected of 3S+, it's really impressive.

While other students were just learning to walk, Lu Manman was already throwing left and right hooks.

So this is what it feels like to pilot a mecha! Amazing, absolutely amazing!

Xu Lingyuan drove over in a pure white mecha. "You are really talented. Now you can start practicing the teacher's Tai Chi."

"That makes sense, I'll start practicing now!"

People like Xu Lingyuan are already veteran mecha pilots, and mecha Tai Chi is one of the introductory courses for mecha pilots, which they have all mastered. Now they are practicing other things.

As the sun set, it was soon time for get out of class to end. The teacher had already left, but many students were still practicing hard in the training room.

Although Lu Manman wanted to practice some more, she was more interested in seeing the newly purchased robots.

Lu Manman returned to his dormitory, picking up a package along the way.

Wow! These machines have so many hands, they're like tentacle monsters. With these tentacle monsters, the long road ahead will be divinely aided.

The store now has a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and the quantity is much more plentiful than before.

This sparked a frenzy among netizens, who were overjoyed.

[The shop owner is such a kind person! They actually listed so many fruits and vegetables. I'm rolling in money!]

[Shop owner, please keep it up! I'm a loyal fan and will always support you.]

[Since I got this fruit, I haven't needed any mental energy stabilizers. My mental energy is incredibly stable. Shopkeeper, you're awesome!]

[...]

This is the first time I've seen a vegetable like this. I wonder if it's a magical vegetable like the magical fruit.

Unlike the online frenzy, the various clans were celebrating.
