[Yes, we've recently lost several more planets. I'm really afraid that if this continues, all our existing planets will become insectoid planets, and we'll have to wander again.]
[Judging from the Zerg's current posture, it's uncertain whether they'll even give us a chance to roam freely.]
[Hey, hey! What are you saying, upstairs? Our motto is: Drive out the Zerg, protect our space race! We should be thinking about how to get rid of those bugs, not what to do if we get driven out.]
[The imagination is rich, but reality is harsh; the current situation is indeed terrible.]
[Don't worry, I believe that since we have the first 3S+ mental power, it means we have already evolved, and there will definitely be a second, a third, and so on.]
[Who is the first 3S+ psychic? Please come forward and claim your identity so we can see what evolved humans look like.]
Why did that little guy's image suddenly appear in my mind?! Wasn't his mental strength undetectable?
[Get out of here! You're such a jinx! Our evolutionary path is definitely towards greater and greater things; what he's doing is at best a regression to antiquity.]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! You're definitely stuck in that little dwarf's trap and haven't gotten out yet; you're completely delirious.]
[Could it be that some 2S-level mental power user's mental power has increased? I ate a certain fruit before and my mental power increased.]
[Fruit? What fruit? This is like gibberish to me! If eating fruit can boost mental strength, I'd go bankrupt and take out loans to eat my fill.]
I managed to buy some by chance, but I haven't heard anything about them since.
[Come on, the one who talked about fruit, explain it to me in detail.]
...
The school forum was abuzz with speculation, with everyone guessing who the lucky winner was.
Zhao Bo, who loves to join in the fun, was quick to notice the excitement on the forum.
"Jianguo, you're trending! Should we go claim it now and slap them in the face?"
Lu Manman, who was lying in bed deep in thought, showed no interest upon hearing this. "No! I'm resting, don't disturb me!"
"Alright then, it'll be even more satisfying to be proven wrong in person," Zhao Bo thought gleefully as he browsed the forum. He saw a discussion about fruit: "Wow! Someone said there's a fruit that can boost mental power, unbelievable..."
Zhao Bo suddenly stopped talking. Anything is possible. Now that people with the 3S+ spirit have appeared, shouldn't we also have some hope for this magical fruit?
He quickly typed a message on the forum: "[There's been some activity regarding that fruit; please let us know if you can.]"
Xu Lingyuan stretched and twisted his neck. The plan was finally finalized, and he just had to wait to implement it the day after tomorrow.
Turning his head to look at Lu Manman lying on his side, Xu Lingyuan sighed. Now, even if he didn't want to study anymore, he had to study diligently. No matter which faction he belonged to, they wouldn't let him waste his talent.
Lu Manman learned a bit about the super mecha warriors and knew that each super mecha warrior had a mission.
It seems like withdrawing from school is out of the question now, and the 100-day training is unlikely to eliminate me. It looks like four years of university life and a military career ahead are inevitable.
Lu Manman felt like crying. Not only was she about to start another life of fighting and killing, but she also had to dress up as a man with so many people. The risks were too great.
She could have easily been a caregiver, supplying the interstellar community with supernatural fruits, but instead, she was forced to don armor and go into battle. What a cruel twist of fate!
...
The next morning arrived quickly, and everyone's alarm clocks rang one after another. Today was the opening ceremony, and everyone had to be at the venue before 8 o'clock.
The students in the dormitory didn't get enough rest last night, so they skipped their morning exercise and slept until their alarms went off.
After washing up, I took a bus to the opening ceremony.
Because many excited freshmen had already gone there, the campus buses weren't crowded right now.
The students chatted in small groups, clearly filled with anticipation and excitement for the opening ceremony.
The school bus was quite fast, and it arrived at the opening ceremony venue in no time.
It was a large venue, and at the entrance were displays of the school's outstanding inventions and creations from previous years, as well as its campus culture and history.
At the very back are 3D holographic images of outstanding graduates from previous years, accompanied by introductions to them and some exciting battle scenes.
Lu Manman saw Qi Xiuyuan inside, and his explosive battle scene was one of him fighting against three Zerg queens all by himself.
Zhao Bo gently nudged Lu Manman's shoulder. "See? All the 3S super soldiers are here. I believe you'll be here soon too."
Seeing Lu Manman's puzzled expression, Zhao Bo scratched his head and continued, "But I'm not bad either. I will also work hard to become a hero admired by all and make greater contributions to the people of the interstellar world."
Lu Manman: "Yeah, good luck!"
Zhao Bo chuckled, and the group quickly found seats and swiped their student cards on the pop-up screens to identify themselves.
After swiping his card, Xu Lingyuan said to the others, "You guys sit here for now, I need to go upstairs and get ready."
The opening ceremony was no different from those on Earth before. Listening to the speeches from one principal, teacher, and student representative after another, it was quite inspiring.
Even Lu Manman, a pseudo-interstellar person who joined halfway through, couldn't help but feel excited and had an impulse to sacrifice his life for the school and the interstellar community.
Finally, Principal Cheng Anyan gave a speech: "Hello, students. I am your principal, Cheng Anyan. I have already said what needs to be said, so I will not repeat myself. I hope that you can all grow into guardians of the interstellar world and protect our country."
"However, I also have some good news to announce today. Our school has lived up to expectations and produced another student with a mental strength of 3S, and even 3S+, the first of its kind in interstellar space."
Upon hearing this, the entire room erupted in commotion. Here it comes! The principal has confirmed it! So who exactly is that person? Everyone held their breath, awaiting the answer.
Lu Manman's scalp tingled. Oh no, there was this too. Lu Manman just wanted to keep a low profile. When her height didn't allow her to be low-profile, she just wanted to be someone that everyone disliked. Only in this way could she better conceal her identity.
If her mental power is revealed... will they still hate her?
The principal patiently watched the students discussing and asking each other questions. Then, a huge beam of light was pointed at Lu Manman, almost blinding her.
"He is Zhao Jianguo from Mech Class A1!"
Seeing everyone looking over, Lu Manman lowered her hand that was covering her eyes. She really didn't know what expression to make, so she could only accept everyone's gaze with a blank expression.
"Isn't that the little dwarf?"
"Yeah, I thought she was a minor. There must be some mistake."
"This hairstyle, reminiscent of the 'Funeral Love Family,' is quite unique."
Faced with the doubts, more people quickly refuted them.
"Go away, go away, those are the future super mecha warriors, our guardians, watch your mouth."
"Exactly, I hope he can grow up quickly. It's really tough being a soldier on the front lines."
"We haven't had a 3S super mecha warrior for two years in a row. Finally, he's here. We must protect him, train him, and wipe out those bastards."
...
Lu Manman felt a pang of sadness after hearing this. She truly felt how much the people of the interstellar world valued the super mecha warriors, how united they were, and how much they cared for the interstellar world. This reminded her of her ancestors who sacrificed their lives for China, and how sincere they were.
