The call came from Xu Lingyuan.
"Jianguo, class is about to start, why aren't you here yet? There's a quiz today, don't be late."
Oh dear, I got so excited I forgot the time. "Okay, I'll be right there." Lu Manman hung up the personal terminal and let go of Mu Guanghao. "Next time, I have something to do."
"Hey, wait a minute," Mu Guanghao called out to the departing mecha, "I don't even know your name yet. My name is Mu Guanghao, a third-year student in Class A1 of the 2011 Mecha program."
"I live here. If you want to fight, come find me."
Lu Manman hurriedly left after saying a few words.
Mu Guanghao, who still wanted to say something, was left holding Er Kang's hand.
What's wrong with him? He doesn't even dare to give his name. Not only that, but he also drives around the campus in such a flashy mech. I didn't even get a glimpse of his face. Next time I see him, I'm going to beat him to a pulp.
Lu Manman rushed to the classroom, but the teacher had already entered before her.
Lu Manman scratched her head sheepishly, "Sorry, I was busy with something and forgot."
Xiong Ba frowned and looked up at the mecha scratching its head in front of him. He felt that the action was extremely excessive, making the cool mecha instantly look silly, like a big, green, dumb guy.
"Don't you think it's a bit awkward to scratch the mech's head like that?" Xiong Ba finally couldn't help but speak up. "Don't lose control and scratch its head raw. This mech is very expensive..."
Lu Manman then realized that she was still inside the mecha. She had been training for so long that she had gotten used to being inside the mecha, and she hadn't thought of this because she was in a hurry. She quickly got out of the mecha.
Xiong Ba nodded. "Alright, go stand over there."
After everyone had taken their positions, Xiong Ba began to get down to business.
"Today I'm going to test everyone's mech skills. If you pass, this phase of our training will be over. Next week we'll start new content and formally learn how to use the mechs' weapons and how to fight."
Everyone was very excited to hear this; they were finally taking a big step towards becoming official mecha warriors.
Once I truly become a qualified mecha warrior, it means I'll be participating in joint military exercises with other military academies right away. I'm so excited!
"Everyone, please don't get too excited yet. We'll have to wait until after today's quiz." As he spoke, a holographic image of a mecha rose up behind Xiong Ba.
"Alright, the test begins. Please enter the mechs and form groups of ten according to your student ID numbers. Follow the same actions as this mech."
Lu Manman's student number was at the back, and it wasn't until the last group that it was her turn. Lu Manman returned to the mecha cockpit nimbly and moved along with everyone else in the holographic image of the mecha's movements.
From simple walking, lifting legs, and turning around, to more difficult jumping and flipping over, Lu Manman completed everything very smoothly.
The last set of mecha Tai Chi was especially well done!
Teacher Xiong nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Everyone has passed the assessment. You have free time for the rest of the time. I hope that when we meet again next week, you will all have made some progress."
After passing the quiz, Lu Manman happily put away her mecha and strode back to her dorm with an air of nonchalance. She was in a good mood today and wanted to sell more fruit to give back to the community.
For the next few days, Lu Manman clung to the mecha every day, reluctant to let go. Apart from accelerating the growth of fruits and vegetables, she trained on the training field. Zhao Bo and the others invited her to stroll around Chengcai Star, but Lu Manman refused.
Mu Guanghao, on the other hand, would come here to ambush people and make threats whenever he had time.
He had been busy with school tasks these past few days, so he finally had some free time today and saw Lu Manman's mecha as soon as he arrived.
"Hey! You green grasshopper, let's have another round."
Lu Manman turned her head as she piloted the mecha, and the dark green mecha pointed at her. "Are you calling me?"
Oh dear, his movements are so smooth and natural; he's improved again in just a few days.
Mu Guanghao frowned, as if facing a formidable enemy, but... even if he improved further, he was no less capable and would definitely be able to defeat him.
"Yes, I'm talking about you. Do you dare?"
"I couldn't have gotten it."
Without saying a word, the two started fighting. Thanks to watching a lot of mecha battle videos these past few days, Lu Manman tried out all the moves she had seen, which was incredibly fun, and she became more and more adept at the battle.
It was a tough time for Mu Guanghao, who suffered repeated defeats and was severely injured both physically and mentally.
The two fought from day to night until Mu Guanghao was exhausted and weakly withdrew from his mech. Looking at his opponent's mech still bouncing around in the training field, Mu Guanghao felt even more frustrated. Comparison is the thief of joy.
Who exactly are you?
Lu Manman tilted her head slightly, "I am Zhao Jianguo from Class A1 of the 2013 Mecha program, a freshman."
Mu Guanghao sighed. So it was him. No wonder he was so powerful. 3S+ was indeed extraordinary.
However... seeing the majestic mecha in front of him making such effeminate movements, Mu Guanghao felt uncomfortable.
"I know you have strong mental strength, but you should still come out and say something."
"Hehe, okay!"
Lu Manman stepped out of the mecha and casually tossed him a banana.
Mu Guanghao was flattered to receive the banana; why was he being given dried fruit out of the blue? His inner gloom dissipated somewhat as a result.
Lu Manman: "I've learned a lot from playing against you, thank you!"
Mu Guanghao peeled the banana, took a big bite, and said, "I know you're amazing, but I'll work hard too. I believe that one day I can defeat... What is this?"
Mu Guanghao clutched his head in pain for a moment, then looked at the half banana in his hand in disbelief. Not only was it soft, sweet, and fragrant, but more importantly, it made him feel incredibly comfortable after eating it.
Lu Manman: "This is a magical fruit I bought online. It's good for mental strength after eating it."
"What? There's actually something like this!"
Mu Guanghao is usually a training fanatic who doesn't care about anything else except training, and he is one of the very few people who don't know about the Miracle Fruit.
Mu Guanghao couldn't hide his excitement, "Where did you buy it? I want to buy one too."
This kind of thing can be a lifesaver in a critical moment. I hope it's not too expensive, since he's just a poor student.
"The online store is called Hope Fruit and Vegetable Store, and it's been quite popular online recently."
Seeing the look of delight in Mu Guanghao's eyes, Lu Manman was very gratified, finally having done something good for the country and its people.
“Hope Fruit and Vegetable Store.” Mu Guanghao repeated softly, “This name is really good. If the fruits and vegetables inside can really heal mental strength, then it can indeed bring hope to everyone and even all of humanity.”
Lu Manman nodded, feeling very satisfied that the name she had chosen was recognized by others.
After Mu Guanghao finished speaking, he quickly opened his personal computer and searched. He was so shocked by the prices that he was speechless.
"200? Such a good thing for only 200 star coins? That's too cheap!" After browsing around, she thought, "The variety is amazing, and it looks delicious, but unfortunately it's out of stock."
Lu Manman: "Don't worry, from what I've observed, she'll be releasing new items irregularly during this period, so keep an eye out for them."
Mu Guanghao was very grateful for Lu Manman's recommendation, and the slight frustration in his heart completely disappeared.
