Chapter 35: The Empire's First Beta Crown Princess 4 (Update 2) "......

035 The Empire's First Beta Crown Princess 4

Arriving with Shen Yu were the teaching staff of the Royal Academy.

The leading teacher quickly stepped forward and shook the principal's hand, and the group exchanged greetings and rushed into the spacious office.

"Where are your students? Why can't I see them?" The principal looked behind them and saw that there was no one there.

"They are still outside the school. They say they want to take a walk first. They seem to be in a playful mood. Don't bother with them!" The leading teacher waved his hand with a look of disgust.

The principal laughed.

Then he looked at the young man sitting in the main seat opposite.

Chen Yu, the only son of the current emperor and empress, is only 26 years old. He is proficient in both civil and military strategies and is an extremely outstanding and modest gentleman.

The "teacher" he just called him was really a compliment.

He only worked as an assistant teacher at the Royal Academy for one semester when Shen Yu was 15 years old. He had little interaction with the Crown Prince and had never taught him anything.

But it is really pleasing to see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give this respect.

The principal thought to himself, originally it was Shen Qing who was agreed to come, but he was replaced by this person at the last minute, maybe there was something going on.

The tea was brewed, and the omega administrative assistant handed it in with a red face, but was stopped by the guard beside Chen Yu.

The guard checked it carefully and then respectfully handed the cup of tea to Shen Yu.

The man took it, lowered his brows and scraped the teacup with the lid.

After a while, another royal guard hurried in and whispered something in his ear.

The principal looked at this scene, his heart beating fast, and he couldn't help but ask directly.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

The guard straightened up and answered on his behalf: "Principal, can we check your school's surveillance video?"

The principal was startled: "Surveillance? Why? Did Your Highness lose something?"

"Teacher, don't be nervous. You're just looking for someone."

Shen Yu opened his lips, his tone gentle.

"There are three surveillance cameras on the west side of Canxing facing outside the school. I only need that part of the video."

So the guard who came in later confirmed the number and location of surveillance cameras as soon as he arrived here?

The principal was secretly shocked.

This person really came here for something, but I don’t know who he is looking for.

He winked at the administrative assistant and said, "Little Li, lead the way. If you two need the video footage of a certain day, just tell the people in the monitoring room!"

The assistant quickly said to the two guards, "Please follow me."

The guards saluted Chen Yu, all with guilty looks on their faces, and turned away.

——They didn’t expect that “Lujiu” would be so hard to find.

During this month and a half, they tried every possible means but could not track him down.

This person was born in a slum, and the chip in his body is a low-level version that was eliminated twenty years ago.

In fact, many people in slums are still using this low-end chip.

The Empire has only noticed this problem in the past two years and has begun distributing advanced chip replacements for free, but historical problems are not so easy to solve and require time.

A year ago, the social system was upgraded. Perhaps because of the incompatibility of low-level chip hardware, a large number of transactions and transfers in the slums of various planets lost their transaction chip numbers. Lu Jiu was one of them.

They had no way of tracking his movements through transaction records.

In addition, the two of them were stupid enough not to communicate by text message at first, but to call rashly. As a result, Lu Jiu seemed to think that she was being targeted by a fraud group, and she activated a one-click blocking function for all unfamiliar numbers... The surveillance cameras on this planet are all for show, and most of them are unusable... The smog is everywhere, and everyone is wearing a mask and can't distinguish faces...

In short, "Lujiu" was drowned in the crowd.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Central Star for a month. When he came back, the only useful information they found was the last transaction record of "Lu Jiu".

The low-level chip played a rare role, and it uploaded its chip number in that transaction.

It was four days ago, in a breakfast shop on the street west of Canxing College.

"Lu Jiu" consumed four meat buns and a bag of soy milk there.

*

After the two guards left, the principal saw that Shen Yu had no intention of continuing to talk, so he started talking about other topics.

"By the way, our first and second grade practical classes are currently being held in the training forest. It's quite lively there today."

He turned on the holoscreen.

A huge screen unfolded, with dozens of small squares arranged on it, all showing chaotic real-time images.

The principal randomly selected four surveillance screens and enlarged them, and the teachers of the Royal Academy looked at them with great interest.

Shen Yu had just received an encrypted message. After replying, he raised his eyes and glanced across the four images with a calm gaze.

Then paused.

He looked straight at the picture in the lower left corner.

*

Outside the training forest, discussions were rising and falling.

On the Mecha ranking list, Lin Miao, who was at the top, was seeing his score rising rapidly, 18, 20, 25, he was almost killing one insect beast every five minutes!

“Too strong!”

"Is this really still an omega?"

The few who couldn't squeeze into the encirclement stood in front of the other two lists.

"Hey," someone suddenly expressed surprise, "Look, someone in the weapons department has also seen his score increase very quickly."

He pointed to one of the rows and the student's name was "Lu Jiu".

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiu's score went from 5 to 6, surpassing 5 people in one go and coming up third in the weapons department.

The people next to him were not very interested: "It's pretty fast."

However, no matter how fast it is, it is still not enough compared to the mecha system.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Jiu's score changed from 6 to 7.

He jumped to first place in the weapons department.

The man who spoke first glanced to the side and was secretly amazed... Although he was not as good as the mecha department, he was almost surpassing the first place in the melee department. The difference between their scores was only two points!

The weapons department has always been useless, but no one has ever won against the melee department in this kind of practical class!

…

At this moment, the teachers in the principal's office clearly saw how quickly the student in the real-time picture on the lower left corner was changing weapons in his hands and killing the insect beasts.

He was wearing a tight black suit and a helmet covering his face.

He is tall and well-proportioned, and looks thin, but in fact, when he runs faster or bursts out with strength, the thin layer of muscles on his body will tighten and show a clear shape.

A bug-beast ran towards him.

He carried a small laser cannon on his shoulder, took aim and fired quickly and efficiently. The recoil pushed him back a step!

The next second, the laser cannon disappeared from its spot. He suddenly rolled to the right twice and knelt behind the bushes. The weapon in his hand turned into a pistol. He pointed it into the air and fired. His series of actions were smooth and flowing!

The teachers then discovered that there was a flying beast that was planning to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him!

The flying beast immediately changed its flying direction, but what came out of the gun was a tracking bullet. This flying beast, which is known for its agility, is most afraid of this kind of weapon!

It was shot dead in mid-air, causing a cloud of blood.

"This student's reaction is really quick. Is he from the weapons department?"

"It's rare to find someone good at close combat in the weapons department."

"Yes, most of them have to wait until they enter the military and are trained."

"He seems to know a lot about these weapons."

The words just fell.

The boy put the pistol into the space box and took out a hammer.

He swung the hammer twice, as if trying to figure out how to use it.

Teachers: “…………”

This hammer is used to transform weapons on the spot, not to be used as a weapon!

A small reptile flashed ahead.

The boy raised his head, swung his arm and threw the hammer out like a javelin.

With a crack, the insect beast was cut in half like a hammer cutting a watermelon, and was nailed into the ground.

Teachers: “………………”

Okay, you win.

Chen Yu stared at the figure without blinking.

The face was covered by a black helmet, and no features could be seen at all.

His eyes slowly slid down to the slender neck.

He tilted his head and stared for a moment.

In the picture, the boy walked over, bent down, and pulled the hammer out of the ground.

The black tights stuck to her skin, and her waist bent into a flexible, familiar curve at this moment.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes.

He changed his sitting position and looked at it with interest.

…

Next, the teachers in the office witnessed a series of actions by this student, such as "changing weapons randomly", "hey, he even killed one by accident", "why did he choose this weapon and what is he doing", "he is not familiar with these weapons, he is just playing around"... and gradually realized one thing.

This student is indeed switching weapons randomly.

But he is not aimless.

Gradually, when facing different insect beasts, the weapons he took out became more and more accurate. They were all the most suitable types of weapons to attack those insect beasts, and they could end the battle within two or three seconds of contact.

——This is something that is only taught in third-year battlefield theory classes, but this student is trying it out in actual combat!

He is so brave!

The teachers were in an uproar.

"Is this really a weapons department student? How come he is even braver than a melee department or mecha department student?"

"Is it really okay for him to be like this? No teacher is there to remind him?"

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, three-headed insect beasts appeared in the picture, approaching the student from three directions.

He was double-teamed!

These three-headed insect beasts are a very cunning species. They always know that they can only avoid human shooting by moving in a zigzag pattern. They are more agile than flying beasts, and even tracking bullets cannot deal with them. This is no longer a situation that weapons students can handle!

The picture began to shake. The surveillance camera detected the danger and quickly approached the student, preparing to launch a temporary protection procedure.

The boy knelt on one knee.

He remained calm in the face of danger, and took out an assembly launcher, an energy box and a set of weapon darts from the space box. He was stuffing the energy box and darts into the assembly launcher in a specific order with very fast hands.

"What is he doing? He wants to use the assembly launcher against them?"

"It's clever, but using darts and energy boxes together can easily cause them to explode. He'll get hurt!"

"Wait, the order in which he assembled the darts—"

The boys finished assembling and carried the cannon.

“Yoho.”

The boy's voice was heard in the screen, close at hand, leisurely and relaxed - "Give it a try."

He pulled the cannon cord.

boom--

*

A loud noise spread across the forest, like a bolt of thunder from the sky.

The students listened carefully and found that the noise did not come from the Mecha Department, but from the Weapon Department. They were all surprised.

"What's going on over there?"

"It's quite a big noise..."

"Ah, look at this person called Lu Jiu!"

Someone pointed at the ranking of the weapons department, looking surprised.

On the leaderboard, his score jumped from 15 to 18!

One D-level beast for each point, and this person just killed three of them in one go? !

"His score exceeds that of the top melee fighter!"

"Oh my god, this is the first time. When did such a powerful person appear in the weapons department? Is he a freshman or a sophomore?"

"Looks like a first-year student!"

"Why don't I have any impression of this name? There is no such person in the first year of the weapons department, right?"

"I remember they had a special student a month ago."

"Wait, Lu Jiu... I remember now, wasn't there a vacancy in the mecha class last year? It seems to be him. He was originally in the mecha class last year!"

The students were in an uproar.

They all looked at the top of the Mecha rankings—Lin Miao.

Current score: 53.

This omega, who entered the mecha class with a special vacancy a year ago and was initially criticized, has now surpassed the others and is now far ahead.

Suddenly, all the beasts roared.

It was as if the sky was cracking and the planets were collapsing. The roar that resounded through the clouds made the air vibrate. The students covered their ears and squatted in fear.

The teachers rushed out, their faces changed drastically.

"Oh no! A bug beast has gone berserk in the mecha training forest, causing other bug beasts to resonate with their thoughts!"

*

In front of Lu Jiu, there was a bug beast lying in each of the three directions.

They were hit by several darts and had already died suddenly.

Several darts that missed their targets were nailed to the surrounding trees.

Lu Jiu walked over and pulled them out one by one.

Whether the energy box and darts can be used together depends on how they are assembled.

He happened to have seen this piece of knowledge in a book two days ago, so he tried it out casually, and unexpectedly it worked.

111 was about to vomit blood: "Jiujiu...can we...not be so exciting..."

Lu Jiu laughed out loud: "I was the one who started the fight, why did you faint?"

He leisurely put the darts and cannons into the space box, comforted 111 that they only needed to hold on for another twenty minutes, and was about to go deeper.

Suddenly, there was a chorus of noise and the ground shook.

He stopped.

A flock of birds flew up and scattered out of the woods.

"What happened?" 111's voice became nervous.

Lu Jiu observed his surroundings calmly.

…

…

Boom, boom, boom! A huge mountain suddenly rose from the woods to the west of him, and the roar was deafening.

Lu Jiu turned sideways and looked up.

A huge monster nearly forty meters tall raised its body. It was pitch black and covered with bumps, and its specific shape could not be distinguished at all. It shook its head frantically and ran towards this direction with a sharp cry!

111: "Fuck, this isn't something from your forest, is it?!"

A mecha took off from behind the giant beast. It was obviously a student from the mecha department. The latter was trying hard to catch up with it, but it could not keep up with the speed of the runaway insect beast!

A strong wind blew and Lu Jiu narrowed his eyes.

Why does it look like it has mutated?

The level of this insect beast has already exceeded the level range of the insect beasts in the neighboring forest, right?

He placed his hand on the space box——

In the air, a group of golden spots of light were rapidly descending.

The giant beast crushed the trees and stepped onto the open space in front of Lu Jiu, causing the ground to sink!

It roared, shocking all the creatures around it. Behind it, the mecha fired laser cannons in panic, but missed the target one after another!

Seeing that the giant beast was about to step on Lu Jiu, 111 made a sharp explosion, and the student in the mecha also shouted "Get out of the way quickly". Lu Jiu stepped aside into the wind and took out a weapon from the space box.

A golden light fell towards them.

It was a gold and silver mecha.

On the chest, a rose vine royal academy badge gleamed.

It drew out the heavy sword in the air, spun its body quickly and swung it down. The giant beast couldn't dodge and was cut in the waist. It fell to the ground and tried to struggle, but the heavy sword didn't allow it to break free and cut it off mercilessly. Black juice spurted out and the two halves of the insect beast's body fell heavily to the ground!

The golden and silver mecha landed on its knees and slid forward. The heavy sword pressed against the ground, leaving a scar more than ten meters long, and black juice stretched all the way.

After standing up, an arrogant voice came out from the mecha.

"You can't handle a mad B-level beast. Is this the level of students at Cangxing Academy?"

*

Outside the drill forest, the teachers immediately evacuated the students who were watching.

They cut into the communication platform and issued a warning to all students in Linnei.

"Everyone who is currently practicing in the forest, get out of the forest immediately! The rest of you, find shelter nearby and wait until we stabilize the insect beast before coming out!"

The mecha department student responded on the platform.

"Teacher, we can solve it!"

"That's right, why are you hiding? Just clean them all up!"

Veins suddenly popped up on the teachers' foreheads.

"What level do you think you are at now? After the insect beasts' thoughts resonate, their levels can jump two levels. What you are facing now is no longer C-level beasts or B-level beasts. They are A-level beasts or even double S-level beasts!"

As they were talking, they saw some students' mechas rise up and chase after the runaway insect beasts, and they were almost fainting.

Among them was the obedient Lin Miao, who actually chased the runaway insect beast to the weapons department’s woods!

On the communication platform, students from the Mecha Department were chattering and excited.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted.

"Well, I'm a weapons student. If I kill the insect beasts coming from the next forest, will it count as points?"

The teacher is about to bleed.

It's already this time and you're still calculating points?!

"You - fuck - do you want to share or not live???"

"Oh, I see." The student said lightly.

"??? What do you understand? Wait, who are you? Tell me your name!"

The voice did not respond again.

…

The sun rose to its highest point.

Lin Miao landed on the ground and recognized that the gold and silver mechas were from the Royal Academy. He felt ashamed and annoyed by the other party's ridicule.

"We have already used up more than half of our energy boxes. You want to compare your 100% energy to ours?!"

"Ha, who told you that my energy is 100%? Come, let me take a look," the gold and silver mecha said in a superior tone, "Look, I only have 50% left, and you have less than me?"

Lin Miao: “…”

"I'm just weak, okay? What excuses are you looking for?" The gold and silver mecha put his hands on his hips, and said arrogantly, "I said that there is nothing to communicate about this second-rate star academy. It's simply poverty alleviation--"

A shadow fell.

There were no signs or sounds.

——

In an instant, the mecha issued a system alarm.

[A 3S-level insect beast has been detected. Please retreat as soon as possible! A 3S-level insect beast has been detected. Please retreat as soon as possible! ]

Lin Miao's pupils constricted - a huge, pure black, unknown creature broke out of the ground behind the gold and silver mecha, and in the blink of an eye, it held the gold and silver mecha in its mouth like a giant mouth!

The gold and silver mechas came to an abrupt stop and froze in place.

Lin Miao's legs almost went weak.

Level 3s

This is simply not something that any student-level warrior can solve!

He took a step back and trembled as he cut into the communication platform: "Teacher, here——"

Thunder roared up from the ground like explosions.

A dense cluster of light bubbles suddenly lit up at the edge of the woods below. These light bubbles gathered together and expanded rapidly, swallowing up everything around them, until they flashed dazzling light and rolled up like waves, pouncing on the pure black unknown creature.

The light pierced him, and Lin Miao instinctively turned his face away and closed his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to be in an ancient battlefield. The flames of war might affect him, and stray bullets might pierce his heart. He understood everything, but his body was frozen in place because of fear, unable to move.

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky.

*

The buzzing sounds gradually faded away.

call……

The wind blew quietly over the meadow.

Lin Miao's lungs suddenly relaxed and fresh air rushed in.

He gasped rapidly, opened his eyes, and looked forward in panic.

Thick smoke dissipated.

The gold and silver mecha stood quietly in the middle of the lawn, its back almost completely cut open.

The broken metal edges rolled up one after another, exposing a large area, the internal structure of the mecha was clearly visible, and the electric current was crackling.

Behind it, the grass was charred black, and a pool of thick black substance lay on it, bubbling.

The charred burning trail extended all the way to the right side of the woods... When it reached the edge of the woods, a row of trees had turned to charcoal...

A group of giant cannons with complicated and strange shapes, which were assembled at some unknown time, stood on the ground.

A figure stood nearby.

The helmet was taken off, the young man shook his black hair and exhaled.

He uttered a heartfelt sigh.

“It feels so good.”
