Chapter 488 Team Building

Seeing Li Qi's violent fight that was completely inconsistent with the aesthetic taste of the mechanics, all the mechanics stopped whispering and turned their eyes to Li Qi who was holding Zoe.

There was no trace of her signature smile on Zoe's face. The force from Li Qi's five fingers made her so painful that she could hardly speak.

She did intend to admit defeat, but this was not the kind of surrender she had in mind.

It is precisely because of this that now that Li Qi asked her to admit defeat, she did not want to do so.

With a slight flick of her fingers, two flying weapons that looked like magic staffs floated behind Li Qi. Zoe barely suppressed the urge to scream out in pain, and said to Li Qi in a hoarse voice:

"Martial arts... not bad... but... you won't forget that we are mechanics, right?"

The staff was ready behind Li Qi, and the power accumulated in front released light. Zoe could fire an energy laser with just a thought.

Feeling the threat from behind, Li Qi just smiled at Zoe:

"I haven't forgotten."

"?"

Zoe felt something was not right, and was about to release the light accumulated in her magic wand.

However, the expected laser beam was not emitted. The energy accumulated inside flashed a few times and then quickly melted away like a melting snowball! Zoe's eyes moved slightly and she looked at her staff. She was silent for a moment and understood why her staff failed to attack.

Because at some point, the nine flying arrows transformed from Li Qi's flying machine accurately penetrated the gaps in Zoe's staff, destroying the energy core inside.

In other words, these two flying staffs have now become 'duds'.

"Alright, winner, Kiri."

When Zoe's staff was destroyed, Selina above also announced the winner of the duel in time.

Although Salina said that there is no limit to the means of this duel, that is to say, whether it is a warrior, a magician, or a person with super powers.

As long as you have the strength and the means, you can use them.

But this is a mechanic class after all, so in addition to the above rules, there is also a hidden rule, which is the degree of damage to one's own flying machinery.

If the flying machine is destroyed and loses its attack power, then the mechanic is also a loser.

After all, before the fifth level, martial artists and magicians can still rely on these things to crush mechanics.

But after reaching the fifth level, the mechanic formed his own mechanical army, and those messy methods were no longer of any use to the mechanic.

The only thing that can really determine a mechanic's success or failure, apart from life and death, is his own mechanical reserves.

A mechanic who loses his machinery is as good as dead.

So when Li Qi destroyed Zoe's flying machine, Selina judged the outcome of the game.

It would be useless even if Zoe still had the ability to cast magic.

Magic is not flying machinery.

After hearing Selina announce the result of the game, Li Qi threw Zoe out like garbage.

The repair system of the consciousness space was activated, and Zoe began to recover in mid-air. By the time she landed, both her injuries and her flying machine had returned to their original state.

But the smile was no longer on her face.

She just looked at Li Qi with a complicated expression and remained silent.

Li Qi didn't look at her again.

He waved his hand to reassemble the arrows into a short sword, letting it circle around him, turned his head to look at the class, and said what Lana and Zoe had said: "Next."

The subsequent confrontation was much simpler.

With Zoe as a stepping stone, even fewer people dared to challenge Li Qi. The few people who came up with an attitude of giving it a try were quickly killed by Li Qi's sword.

During this period, Li Qi did not even show off his martial arts skills.

But this may be a good thing for others.

After all, not everyone wants to be picked up by Li Qi and smashed on the ground by the head. No one is a masochist.

So when no one challenged her anymore, Salina quickly announced that Li Qi would be the monitor of Class F03.

This is how the first class of the mechanic course ended.

Leaving the space of consciousness, Li Qi left the classroom facing the distant or fearful looks from others.

Li Qi didn't care what other people in the class thought of him. His only purpose in coming to this academy was to find more methods of cultivating consciousness, and then use his talent for creating techniques to create a technique that was unique to him.

And within four years, he was quickly promoted to become a ninth-level strongman.

As for why he wanted to be a squad leader, it was because a mechanic at level five needed a massive amount of materials to build his own mechanical army.

If Li Qi was still the young master of the Imperial Duke's family, he certainly wouldn't have to worry about the money to buy materials.

But unfortunately he is not now.

Therefore, if Li Qi wants to build a high-level mechanical army, he must seize all the resources he can get! Li Qi's initial plan was to become the class monitor, become a professor's student through Salina, and then make money to buy materials through the professor's connections.

Before achieving this preliminary plan, what Li Qi needs to do is to raise his consciousness level to level five.

He is now at the peak of level three and will soon be able to break through to level four.

It won’t be long before you reach level five.

"Student Webber! Student Webber, wait!"

Li Qi, who had just walked out of the school building and was about to go back to the dormitory to choose courses, suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Looking back, it turned out to be the mechanic that Lana had defeated first.

Li Qi remembered that her name seemed to be...Chen Cong? It seems to be this name.

"What's up?"

"Uh...n...nothing."

Chen Cong, who wanted to say something, couldn't help but scratch his hair in embarrassment when he saw Li Qi's cold eyes.

Li Qi didn't look at her again, turned around and continued walking forward.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Cong suddenly thought of something and quickly called Li Qi:

"Student Wei Boer, I wonder if you are interested in teaming up with me?"

"Not interested."

Li Qi answered without even turning his head.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just as Chen Cong was about to continue speaking, he heard Zoe's voice from the side:

"Even if you want to form a team, you have to form a team with the strong. Forming a team with the weak will only drag you down."

Zoe, holding the mechanical staff, walked up to Li Qi with a smile on her face, as if she didn't care at all about what had just happened in her consciousness space.

After saying this to Chen Cong, Zoe looked at Li Qi again:

"You said so, Kiri-san."

Li Qi said nothing, just looked at Zoe.

Chen Cong was speechless after what Zoe said. After all, in terms of strength, she was indeed much weaker than Zoe and Li Qi, and she was indeed not qualified to team up with Li Qi.

However, although she couldn't say anything to refute, someone else could.

"Then, as Kiri-san's defeated opponent, aren't you also considered a weakling?"

The lazy girl Lana appeared next to them at some point. She was eating an apple casually in her hand, and there was some curiosity in her eyes when she looked at Li Qi.

Zoe's smile remained unchanged as she said confidently, "Then at least in this class, I am the strongest person after Kiri."

"Yeah, the No. 1 in the region is indeed impressive, but he was still beaten by Kiri-san. Why don't you guess how many students are there like Kiri-san who hide their abilities in the assessment?"

Lana quickly ate the apple, threw the core to the garbage disposal robot on the side of the road, and said to Zoe with a smile:

"But not everyone is like you, eager to use all means in the assessment."

Lana was smiling, and Zoe was smiling too, but there was a knife hidden in their smiles.

But while the two of them were arguing, Li Qi had already walked a long distance, sat down at the roadside bus stop, and waited for the tram back to the dormitory area.

Seeing this, Zoe stopped bickering with Lana. She passed Lana and quickly caught up with Li Qi, saying to him, "Kili, you should know that in addition to basic learning and exams, you can also get credits by completing tasks issued by the academy. The higher the credits, the more materials you can exchange for. The prerequisite for accepting the academy's tasks is that you must form a three-person team..."

Zoe tells the reason why she came to see Li Qi.

This is also why the other two are here.

Alfred Academy doesn't just look at written results, but also combat performance.

The score standards that Teacher Sharina mentioned in class are just a way to obtain basic credits. If you want to obtain more credits in normal times, you have to participate in "school activities."

School activities will be assigned to students in the form of tasks.

If students feel they have completed the course and can ensure that their final scores meet the requirements, they can accept the tasks to obtain extra credits.

School activities for life-related and auxiliary majors are relatively safe, and most of them are carried out within the school star.

However, students majoring in mechanic and mecha technician basically take on combat-related missions.

Except for a few combat missions that take place on the Academy Star, the rest of these combat missions are carried out outside the galaxy.

For example, clearing out certain rebels, or clearing out monsters that appear on certain planets.

These missions are very dangerous, so the academy will not let students carry out the missions alone.

In order to complete the academy activities and get extra credits, you must form a team of at least three people.

In addition, each member of the three-person team must be equipped with the academy's exclusive communication equipment, rescue equipment, and protective equipment. The minimum standard of the team's combat effectiveness must reach the middle of the third stage on average.

Li Qi is at the peak of level three, and Zoe is at the high level of level three. The two are strong enough. As long as one more person comes, even if it is a mechanic at the beginner level of level three, they can form a team to carry out the academy mission.

That's why Zoe and the other two caught up with Li Qi and invited him.

A first-year student, a peak level three mechanic, is in great demand wherever he goes.

"I know, my teammates, I will figure it out on my own."

The tram arrived, and Li Qi said to Zoe and others, and walked onto the tram calmly.

Neither Zoe nor Lana moved, but Shen Cong immediately followed after hesitating for a moment and entered the car at the last moment before the door closed.

The reason Zoe and Lana didn't move was because their dormitory was in the villa area.

Only Chen Cong, like Li Qi, lived in a dormitory apartment in the dormitory area.
