The airship was very fast, and in just over ten minutes, they arrived at the First Federal Military Academy.

The First Military Academy of the Federation boasts a history spanning hundreds of years. A fully militarized institution, it has trained countless outstanding mecha combatants and heraldry masters for the Federation Army. Ranked among the top ten schools in the Interstellar Federation, it is a top choice for all students of appropriate age.

Dozens of soldiers in military uniforms, holding energy guns, stood solemnly at the gate of the school made of super alloy.

"Please verify your identity before entering." A soldier saluted them.

The instructor saluted in return and led the students to a self-service terminal. They placed their palms on the screen and looked toward the camera. The intelligent computer automatically scanned the user's palm print and iris, immediately verifying their identity.

The green indicator light came on, and the instructor successfully passed the identity verification and was allowed to enter the campus.

The campus is fully equipped with all-round video surveillance, infrared scanning and regular patrols. The level of security is definitely no less than that of a military base.

Under such tight security, Liu Linchuan felt much more at ease. Those who hid in the shadows and wanted to harm him would be unable to harm him in this school. Until he recovered his cultivation and had the ability to protect himself, he would never leave this school.

"Everyone go back to the dormitory to rest. The follow-up plan for the final exam will be sent to your light computer through the intelligent brain." After the instructor finished speaking, he let them disperse and return to their respective dormitories.

"Auckland, do you need me to take you back to the dormitory?" Delagar looked at Liu Linchuan with some concern.

"No thanks. I've been so troublesome to you these past two days. Thank you." Liu Linchuan knew De Lagar had good intentions, but he wasn't so thick-skinned as to keep bothering her. After all, they had only met by chance. However, he remembered the kindness Rachel and De Lagar had shown him, and he would definitely repay them when he had the chance.

"Alright then..." Dragal didn't force it. He shrugged. "Your optical computer is lost. It's best to go to the Star Network and buy a new one. I'll give you my contact number. If you need anything, just contact me directly."

Oakland was actually a well-known person in the First Federal Military Academy. Titles such as "the waste of the Campbell family", "Hall Williams' fiancé", and "the idiot who came in through the back door" made it difficult for Oakland to even raise his head in the school.

However, Delagar, who also came from a wealthy family, knew that these were not Auckland's own choices. He almost lost his life in this final exam. Delagar couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Auckland. If he could help, he wouldn't mind lending a hand. After all, it was just a piece of cake for him.

After carefully noting down Delagar's contact number, Liu Linchuan went to a hub station not far from the school gate to take a flying car.

The campus of the First Federal Military Academy covers a very large area. If Liu Linchuan didn't take a flying car, he would probably have to walk for most of the day to get back to his dormitory.

The dormitory area is divided into seven areas, including AG, and students are assigned to different dormitory areas according to their different departments. As a student of the Mecha Maintenance Department, Liu Linchuan will of course not live with Dragal and Rachel from the Mecha Combat Department.

Students from the Mecha Combat Department basically live in Areas AB, which can be reached quickly on foot, while Liu Linchuan's dormitory is in Area G, which is almost entirely populated by students from the Auxiliary and Logistics Departments.

The flying cars on campus, as the main means of transportation on campus, are completely free. Otherwise, he would probably have to worry about how to pay the bill without a light computer.

There were also many people waiting for the flying car in the hub station, but when Liu Linchuan approached, everyone took a few steps back almost imperceptibly, avoiding him as if avoiding a stink bug.

Liu Linchuan's expression did not change at all. According to his memory, he had long been accustomed to these people's rejection.

After waiting for a while, a taxi came, which was going to the dormitory area. Liu Linchuan got on the car silently and sat in the last row.

"We've arrived at Area G." The car stopped one by one according to the distribution order of the dormitory areas. After reaching Area G, Liu Linchuan got off the car.

The dormitory buildings in military academies are all built the same, but they are divided into single rooms, double rooms, multi-person rooms, etc. according to different charges.

Auckland was brought in through the back door. His father Edmund probably didn't want to give anyone a chance to talk, so he gave him a single room.

Liu Linchuan's room is the first one on the twelfth floor. The location is pretty good, but the room is a bit small, a one-bedroom apartment of at most ten square meters, equipped with a simple kitchen and bathroom. The room has a single bed, a desk, a wardrobe and a cleaning robot. It can be said that although it is small, it has everything.

There is a smart helmet next to the bed that can connect to the star network. Once you put it on, you can enter the star network.

Liu Linchuan felt that the most important thing he needed to do now was to log in to the Star Network and buy a new optical computer, otherwise it would be inconvenient to do anything.

After putting on the helmet, Liu Linchuan entered the login interface of the star network in a flash.

"Welcome to StarNet." The moment the electronic sound rang out, Liu Linchuan's virtual image appeared in front of him. "Connecting, please wait."

Perhaps because of his own weakness, Auckland chose a burly, bearded man as his avatar...

Liu Linchuan felt it was really offensive, so he chose to enter the settings, changed to a more ordinary-looking boy image, and then confirmed the login.

"Connecting to the Star Network, please wait... 1, 2, 3..."

The next second, Liu Linchuan was standing on a busy street, surrounded by people coming and going, it was very lively.

Although StarNet is a virtual world, through holographic technology, everything on StarNet looks extremely real, just like a second real world.

With a thought, a transparent light screen appeared in front of him. Liu Linchuan opened the search bar and searched for the keyword "buy optical computer". Hundreds of online stores selling optical computers were immediately listed on it, and he could click to go to any of them.

Liu Linchuan randomly selected a top-ranked online store, and the scene in front of him changed rapidly. The next moment, he was standing at the door of a store with very high-end decoration.

"Welcome, how can I help you?" A smiling clerk immediately came up to us.

“I want to buy a computer.”

"Then you've come to the right place. Our store has the most comprehensive selection of optical computers in the entire Interstellar Federation. What price range of optical computers would you like?"

Liu Linchuan was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that buying a computer cost money, and his father had not given him a single federal coin except for a pitiful amount of living expenses when he sent him to school...

He summoned the light screen again and typed in 'Check deposit balance'. The following words appeared on the light screen - Your balance is 480 federal coins.

480 federal coins!

Liu Linchuan's eyes widened. Could he be this poor?!

The price of buying a bottle of nutrient solution is 10 federal coins, buying an ordinary healing potion is 100 federal coins, and buying the cheapest optical computer requires at least 1,500 federal coins, while his entire net worth is only 480 federal coins!

The clerk was quite perceptive. Noticing his unhappy expression, he immediately said sympathetically, "If you're struggling financially, you can pay in installments."

It seems that this is the only way...

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

Liu Linchuan followed the clerk to a terminal in the store and gestured for him to press it. Some of Liu Linchuan's basic information immediately appeared on the screen.

【Basic Information】

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Balance: 480

Credit rating: B

"Your credit rating is B. If you buy a basic optical computer, you can enjoy a 6-month installment payment of 250 federal coins per month." The clerk said with a smile.

Liu Linchuan's credit rating is already high for a sixteen-year-old boy. If his last name was not Campbell and he was not studying at the First Federal Military Academy, his credit rating would definitely not be as high as B.

"Okay, then I want a basic optical computer."

"No problem, the items you selected have been added to your shopping cart. After you choose to pay, our store will immediately deliver the items to your default delivery address within one hour."

"Okay." After the prompt box appeared, Liu Linchuan quickly chose to confirm the payment. His balance suddenly dropped to only 230 federal coins. It seemed that he had to find a way to make money.

Just as he was stepping into a shop selling optical computers and preparing to search on the screen to see if there was any way for him to make money, a push notification suddenly popped up and caught his attention.

"A basic heraldry lecture will be held at No. 17 in the central area. A-level heraldry masters Billy Butler and Roy Vernon will unveil the mysteries of heraldry for you."
