Ye Ling was still immersed in the joy of passing the mecha inspection. Before the smile on her lips could completely disappear, Dean Liu's serious face appeared in front of her, like a basin of cold water poured over her head, instantly pulling her back to the ground from the cloud of joy.
"Student Ye Ling, congratulations on passing the mecha test." Dean Liu's voice didn't sound like congratulations, but more like an announcement of an established fact.
"But," he paused. This "but" made Ye Ling's heart skip a beat, and an ominous premonition came over him.
"In order to ensure the stability and combat capability of your mecha upgrade, the academy has decided to conduct a specially designed combat test on you."
Ye Ling's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again in an instant.
This is like just crossing the single-plank bridge and then falling into the tiger's den. What's the fun?
According to past practice, newly upgraded mechas would have an adaptation period before being arranged for actual combat testing, but she skipped the adaptation period and went straight to the point.
This rhythm is so exciting!
Technician Lin at the side pushed his glasses up on his nose, and a hint of worry flashed across the lenses.
Isn’t Dean Liu’s behavior too cool?
However, Ye Ling did not raise any objections as they expected, and did not even frown.
She just took a deep breath and said firmly, "I accept the challenge."
Dean Liu and Technician Lin were both stunned.
Is this girl really not afraid of death or is she just brave and skilled?
They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Ye Ling looked at them, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile: "Why, Dean, are you regretting this?"
Dean Liu's mouth twitched. This girl is really...
"Since you insist, let's start preparing." He said in a deep voice, with a barely perceptible admiration in his tone.
Ye Ling turned around, a determined look in her eyes, and walked towards her mecha...
"Wait," she suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Duan Yu, raised her chin to signal him to come over, "Do me a favor..."
Duan Yu walked over with an expressionless face, speaking sparingly: "Speak."
"Help me check the content and venue of this actual combat test." Ye Ling narrowed her eyes, "I always feel that this old man has bad intentions."
Duan Yu nodded, his fingers operating quickly on the light computer on his wrist. After a few seconds, his expression changed slightly.
"A simulated interstellar battlefield filled with dangerous traps and powerful virtual enemies. Complete the designated objectives within a limited time..." Duan Yu's voice was low, with a hint of solemnity in his tone. "This difficulty is a bit outrageous."
After hearing this, Ye Ling was not afraid, but laughed: "Outrageous? I like it! It seems that this old man wants to show me his power." She clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fighting spirit, "Then let him see that I, Ye Ling, am not someone to be trifled with!"
In the next few days, Ye Ling began devilish training.
The environment of the simulated interstellar battlefield is complex and changeable, and you will fall into crisis if you are not careful.
Ye Ling drives a mecha through the virtual world, challenging her limits and breaking through herself again and again.
However, during a training session, Ye Ling accidentally discovered that some of the new functions added after the mecha upgrade actually had unexpected advantages in this complex environment!
For example, the upgraded energy conversion system can absorb surrounding energy for replenishment, which is simply a magical skill in the dangerous interstellar battlefield!
And there was also that "useless" function that she had complained about countless times - space jumping, which actually allowed her to move instantly in areas densely populated with traps and avoid danger!
Ye Ling's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world.
She immediately began to study how to apply these new functions to actual combat, and gradually gained confidence.
"This old man really helped me a lot!" Ye Ling raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, with a confident light flashing in his eyes.
On the day of the actual combat test, Ye Ling drove the mecha, stood in front of the entrance of the simulated interstellar battlefield, and took a deep breath.
Duan Yu walked up to her and patted her shoulder: "Be careful."
Ye Ling nodded, her eyes firm: "Don't worry, I will surprise them."
She started the mech, the engine emitting a deafening roar, and the mech slowly drove into the simulated interstellar battlefield...
"Start timing——" a cold mechanical voice sounded...
The door to the simulated interstellar battlefield slammed shut, and Ye Ling, driving a silver-gray mecha, was instantly swallowed by the darkness.
The next second, dazzling red spots of light poured down like a rainstorm - enemy attack!
"Oh my god, this old guy is serious!" Ye Ling complained, but his hands danced quickly on the operating table, and the mecha dodged the attacks flexibly.
With a "whoosh", Ye Ling's mecha passed through the dense firepower network like a ghost, made a beautiful turn, and the particle cannon opened fire instantly!
"Boom!" The first wave of enemies was reduced to ashes.
Technician Lin in the viewing room adjusted his glasses. This operation was quite impressive!
The battlefield situation changes rapidly, and the enemy attacks come one after another, with crazy output as if it is free.
Ye Ling drove the mecha through the hail of bullets, and his movements were textbook-level.
Despite this, the mecha was inevitably damaged and the alarm sounded sharply in the cockpit.
"Tsk, this is a bit tricky..." Ye Ling narrowed her eyes, her brain working rapidly, analyzing the enemy's attack pattern.
Suddenly, she noticed that there was a slight disorder in the enemy's attack frequency, a fleeting gap!
The opportunity has come!
Ye Ling curled the corners of her mouth and decisively activated her upgraded ultimate skill - "Galaxy Burst"!
A dazzling light pierced the darkness, and a powerful energy wave swept across the entire battlefield, and the enemy's formation was torn apart in an instant!
"Beautiful!" An exclamation erupted in the viewing room.
Ye Ling took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This operation was perfect!
However, she knew in her heart that this was just the beginning.
Dean Liu, this old fox, must have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling's eyes flashed and she looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from the communicator: "Congratulations, classmate Ye Ling, you have successfully passed the first stage test..."
