Before he died, Yan Hao could never understand why his parents had always favored his younger brother. They spoiled his brother, and wouldn’t pay any attention to himself, no matter what he did.<...
When Yan Hao started to assemble his first mecha, Sheng Heng also started his second field combat assessment.
"The location of this field assessment is actually planet B135." Xiao Tianhan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of discussion broke out in the classroom.
"Planet B135 is a resource planet, and its main resource is ore. The assessment task this time is to find a piece of ore that your partner needs. The specific type of ore can be discussed with your partner. Of course, the higher the level, the higher the score." Xiao Tianhan continued.
The last assessment on the barren planet was mainly for mecha warriors, in order to train them to fight against the Zerg. However, this time, the assessment on the barren planet is mainly for mecha manufacturers, who will protect their partners and go to the resource planet to find the ores they need.
After Xiao Tianhan finished his announcement, he left the class. As soon as he left, the students in the classroom formed groups and began to discuss the mission plan with their mecha makers. Cheng Wenkang turned his head to look at Sheng Heng and said, "Junior brother seems to be very busy these days. Does he have time to join us?"
"There's no need for him to go." Sheng Heng knew that Yan Hao had been learning to assemble mechas these days, and he didn't want to disturb Yan Hao.
"But this is an assessment mainly for mecha builders."
"Sheng Heng, do you want to join a team with us?" Squad leader Sun Chu suddenly came over and asked Sheng Heng.
Sheng Heng looked at him.
"I just heard you say that junior brother Yan Hao is not free, but you will always need a mecha maker when you go out, so do you want to come to our group first?" Sun Chu continued.
If it were in the past, Sun Chu would never say this, after all, Sheng Heng at that time only had a two-hour combat capability, and this kind of combat capability would only be a burden to participate in the field assessment. Even if he agreed, his team members and partners would not agree. But since Sheng Heng drove the mimic mecha, his combat capability has jumped to the top of the class, especially on the way back from the last deserted planet assessment, he could even fight Sima Mingxuan, the top of the third grade, on par.
"Then I'll trouble you, squad leader." Sheng Heng said with a smile.
"It's no trouble, no trouble." Sun Chu smiled happily.
When everyone saw Sheng Heng agreed, many of them showed regret and remorse on their faces. If they had known that Sheng Heng wanted to join the group, they would have asked him as well.
The assessment would start in three days. Before leaving, Sheng Heng went to find Yan Hao and asked him what type of ore he needed.
"Senior, please bring me any piece back. I like whatever you find." While learning how to manufacture mecha parts, Yan Hao also learned a lot about minerals, but since others cannot go, no matter how much knowledge he has, it will be useless.
"I heard from other mecha builders that the ores found on the resource star this time will eventually be used to make mecha parts for their partners. So the ores I'm looking for this time will eventually become parts for Black Soul." Sheng Heng smiled and said, "Is there any way for me to find some good ore materials for Black Soul?"
Yan Hao was so naive. After listening to it, he felt that it made a lot of sense, so he said, "I heard from the teacher that good minerals can absorb spiritual power."
"I understand." Sheng Heng said.
"By the way, this is the energy block I prepared for you and Senior Cheng." As he spoke, Yan Hao took out the sixth-level energy blocks that he had made while staying up all night from the space button. There were sixteen blocks in total, enough for the two of them to use until they returned.
"Thank you." Sheng Heng didn't hesitate and took them all.
"Senior, the teacher said that I have made rapid progress. When you come back this time, you will no longer have to buy new replacement parts for the Black Soul. I can help you fix it, so you can save a lot of money." Yan Hao said excitedly.
"It will help me save money." Sheng Heng curled his lips, an indescribable emotion emerging in his eyes.
"Yeah." Yan Hao nodded happily.
The Black Soul is a level six mecha, and any part of a level six mecha is not cheap. As expected, when Senior Sheng Heng heard that he could save money, he was very happy.
Three days later, the students of the Mecha Department and the Mecha Manufacturing Department boarded the spacecraft again and headed for the resource planet B135. This time, both the students of the Mecha Department and the Mecha Manufacturing Department had learned their lesson and rented the maintenance room and training room as soon as they got on board.
Because the mechas had been inspected before departure, the mecha manufacturers did not need to repair the mechas, so they made energy blocks during the voyage. So when the spacecraft was about to arrive, each of them had made a lot of them.
The mecha maker in charge of Sun Chu's group is Xia Liu. Although Sheng Heng came to join the team, Xia Liu still allocated two level six energy blocks to Sheng Heng and Cheng Wenkang respectively.
"No thanks, we have enough energy blocks." Sheng Heng refused.
"Was it... made by Junior Brother Yan Hao?" Xia Liu asked.
"Yeah." When mentioning Yan Hao, Sheng Heng's eyes would unconsciously become gentle.
"Oh." Xia Liu stopped talking immediately after hearing that it was made by Yan Hao. The efficiency of the energy blocks he made was about 72%, which was considered excellent, much better than the energy blocks sold outside, but compared with Yan Hao who could make master-level energy blocks, it was far behind. According to the energy conversion ratio, one energy block made by Yan Hao was worth five of his, which meant that the two level 6 energy blocks he gave to Sheng Heng were not even worth half of what he had, so why should he give them away?
Xia Liu walked away silently, feeling somewhat frustrated.
"It's free, why not take it?" Cheng Wenkang said with some heartache when he saw that the energy block in his hand was rejected by Sheng Heng.
Sheng Heng glanced at him and said, "How about you join their group?"
"No, that's not necessary." Brother Heng wants to monopolize the younger brother by himself. He has no idea. The younger brother is the apprentice of Master Pang and Master Zhong. He has already started to assemble level 4 mechas in his freshman year. He will definitely be a big boss in the future. Only a fool would leave the team for two level 6 energy blocks.
Sheng Heng suddenly looked regretful.
“……”Cheng Wenkang.
About an hour later, the spacecraft landed on planet B135. Because this assessment required them to work together with the mecha maker, everyone rested at the base for a night before setting off from the base.
Sheng Heng and Sun Chu rented two mining vehicles and set out from the base. Following the instructions on the map, they found the approximate location of the ore Xia Liu needed and began to conduct field exploration. Xia Liu was in charge of the exploration. He took the testing equipment and tested back and forth on the bare ground. He would stop from time to time to ask people to help dig two or three meters underground, but the ore he found was not of high purity.
A group of people searched for two days on the resource star, but they didn't find any qualified ore. Instead, they encountered many fierce beasts. Although the beasts here are fierce, there are not many of them. They have seven mecha warriors in their group, so it is very easy to deal with them. After searching for another two days, Sheng Heng saw that Xia Liu I still didn't find the ore he wanted, and he couldn't help but get a little anxious.
He was thinking of waiting until Xia Liu had found all the ore he wanted before going to help Yan Hao find one.
"It's clearly marked on the map that this area is the lapis lazuli vein. How come we haven't found even a piece of high-purity ore after searching for such a long time?" Sun Chu couldn't help but say.
"Most metals are purified from these ores. It depends on luck to get high-purity ores. If you really can't find high-purity ores, those you dug before will barely be enough, but the assessment score may not be high." Xia Liu said.
"Then let's look for it again." Sun Chu said.
"Brother Heng, if Xia Liu can't find high-purity lapis lazuli, we may not have time to help my junior brother look for ore." Cheng Wenkang knew that although Sheng Heng came out this time to join someone else's group, he wanted to bring back a piece of ore for his junior brother.
Sheng Heng knew this, he frowned and looked around. In the past few days, Xia Liu had been testing this mountain range almost aimlessly, and this mountain range was very large. If he continued testing like this, it would take who knows how long.
Thinking of this, Sheng Heng suddenly closed his eyes and released his mental power.
Yan Hao said that good ore would absorb mental power, so he released his mental power to explore. Maybe this area did not have the ore that Xia Liu wanted, but might have the one that Yan Hao wanted.
When Sheng Heng released his mental power, Cheng Wenkang noticed it immediately. His face changed and he stopped talking. Instead, he stood beside Sheng Heng and guarded him.
About three minutes later, Sheng Heng opened his eyes and looked in one direction.
"Sun Chu." Sheng Heng shouted.
Sun Chu turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Go over there." Sheng Heng said and walked over first.
Everyone soon followed Sheng Heng to a small hill.
"Here, dig five meters down." Sheng Heng stomped the ground with his foot.
"Why?" Sun Chu asked.
"I feel like there might be high-purity ores here." Sheng Heng saw everyone's confusion and said, "Yan Hao said that good ores will absorb spiritual power. I just released my spiritual power, and a small part of it was absorbed here."
Sun Chu didn't feel anything after hearing this, but Xia Liu was shocked: "Can you feel your mental power being absorbed by the ore?"
"Yeah." Sheng Heng nodded.
"Dig, dig quickly, there must be ore here." Xia Liu immediately threw away the testing equipment in his hand, "Go and drive the mining truck over here."
"What's wrong?" Sun Chu still didn't understand.
"High-purity ore has a certain absorption effect on mental power, but this absorption is very weak. Most people can't feel it at all. Only people with extremely strong mental power and extremely sharp perception can feel it." Xia Liu looked at Sheng Heng, "Sheng Heng, your mental perception must be very strong."
"Not bad." Sheng Heng said modestly.
Just born S-level.
The mining truck drove over quickly and soon dug more than five meters underground. When Xia Liu took the detector to conduct a survey again, the detector immediately sounded an alarm.
"Fifteen meters underground, there is high-purity lapis lazuli." Xia Liu said excitedly.
Sheng Heng saw that his exploration was indeed useful, and a light flashed in his eyes. He said to Sun Chu: "You guys dig first, I will go ahead and explore more."
"Okay." Sun Chu knew that Sheng Heng still wanted to bring ore to Yan Hao, so he didn't stop him. Anyway, the location of the ore had been determined, so they just had to dig down.
