Chapter 95 Simulated Battlefield
Just as tensions were running high and it looked like a fight was about to break out, someone came out and stopped them.
He also gave Bian Shize a warning look, "Don't cause trouble."
Bian Shize has been causing trouble frequently lately, and the news has reached the higher-ups. Today, he even dared to cause trouble in the simulated battlefield. He's incredibly audacious.
The people who came over also glanced at Qin Ning. Those who knew about this matter all thought that the Qin family's daughter was being unreasonable.
The daughter has caused such a scene, and the Qin family not only doesn't care, but they also indulge her in her misbehavior. Now, the Ning family is almost ready to sever ties with the Qin family.
Someone stepped forward to stop him, and even though Bian Shize was very dissatisfied, he could only swallow his anger.
Although the Qin family helped him, they also warned him not to cause any more trouble.
"Gather together!" Yue Qianxing shouted.
Everyone quickly returned to their positions and followed Instructor Yue inside.
Bian Shize watched Su Li's departing figure, his expression so gloomy it seemed ink would drip from it.
He called for everyone to assemble several times before the students reluctantly gathered, sluggishly and without any semblance of a formation. They complained that he, their instructor, had embarrassed them by being scolded by a woman.
Bian Shize didn't say anything, but his face became even uglier. He didn't know what to say to the students, so he led them inside with a sullen face.
He's unhappy with everything now, and when someone looks at him, he feels like they're mocking him.
When someone looked over, Bian Shize would glare back forcefully, leaving the innocent person being glared at completely bewildered.
The accommodations for the mecha soldiers in each academy have been arranged, in the same locations as in previous years. The instructors can simply lead everyone there.
After everyone put their things down and gathered below, the student finally spoke up, "Instructor, I heard that the general will be coming to watch our simulated battle this time. That's really great!"
As mech soldiers, it would be an honor for them to have their performance seen by the Federation's most powerful general.
If one could earn the general's praise, that would be even better.
Yue Qianxing laughed too, "You guys shouldn't be too happy yet. If I hadn't stopped you just now, you would have gotten into a fight. Do you want the General to see you all behaving so undisciplinedly?"
"I'm sorry, Instructor. I'm the one who caused this trouble. I will reflect on my actions," Su Li said, stepping forward.
The instructor glanced at her and told her to return to her unit.
"Students, remember this: we don't provoke trouble, but if trouble comes our way, we can't be afraid. Getting into a conflict at the gate is bad for our reputation, but we can keep that grudge in our hearts and take them down on the simulated battlefield later."
The crowd immediately echoed in agreement.
"Kill them! Kill them!"
The sound was so loud it could be heard next door.
The students living next door happened to be from the same college as Bian Shize.
Hearing those words made me immediately unhappy.
"Are they talking about us next door? They've gone too far."
"What are they so smug about? Their Federal Military Academy has never won a mech simulation battle. All they do is brag," someone said disdainfully.
"Exactly. They brag about their academy's first generation of mecha engineers every year. How long have they been dead? Their academy hasn't produced any new mecha engineers yet. They finally had a teacher, Mr. Bian, but he was fired. I'm tired of hearing these boasts."
"Yeah, they think they're something special just because they've won a few matches. They're all just flashy but impractical mechs. Real mechs are meant to be used on real battlefields, not just won by shouting slogans."
"Just wait, when we get back to the battlefield, we'll show them what we're made of."
The simulated battlefield isn't the real battlefield, so we can find an opportunity to teach them a lesson later.
The others didn't speak, but they joined in the sneer, clearly agreeing with the statement.
Qin Ning walked to Bian Shize's side and whispered, "Teacher, don't worry, we definitely won't lose to them."
Bian Shize was extremely unhappy, but when Qin Ning came over, he immediately looked at her gently and said affectionately, "Ningning, I believe in you."
It's not you, it's you.
I only trust her.
Qin Ning blushed. She couldn't understand why such a good man was described so badly by Ning Ruoxi.
Is it because she can't have it?
And what about Su Li? Was she also angry and embarrassed because Bian Shize didn't like her?
Qin Ning looked at the message Ning Ruoxi sent her, which advised her not to be fooled by Bian Shize, saying that he was a shameless man who lived off women.
Ignoring Ning Ruoxi's advice, he directly turned off the personal terminal.
She didn't want to hear Ning Ruoxi speak ill of Bian Shize.
Su Li and the others rested for a night, and when they gathered in the morning, they found that quite a few people had arrived.
The mech soldiers from the eight interstellar military academies are all here.
The general was standing on the platform, but he was too far away to see his face clearly.
Su Li vaguely remembered that her father had taken her to see the general when she was a child, but that was when she was very young. She vaguely remembered that the general said she looked a lot like her grandmother, but it had been too long and she didn't remember what the general looked like.
When I think back carefully, I can vaguely remember that he was a tall, thin person wearing a federal uniform.
She only glanced at his face and didn't dare look at the general again, so she doesn't remember what he looked like.
But she still remembered the general's voice.
Su Li immediately recognized what the general was saying.
Some encouraging words ignited the students' enthusiasm.
This competition is open to students from academies and simulates a battlefield, testing the mech soldiers' adaptability and teamwork on the battlefield.
A red triangular flag was placed on each battlefield.
The academy that captures the flag and manages to escape successfully is the winner.
Su Li carefully studied the rules and learned that even if an academy gets the flag, other academies can still try to take it before the academy comes out. Only the academy that wins and gets the flag out is considered the winner.
The simulated battlefield selected several classic scenarios, such as a volcano that may erupt at any time, an iceberg and snowfield, an endless ocean, or a desert storm.
In different scenarios, they need to deal with different environments and various emergencies.
This is a combat training exercise for individual mech soldiers. Space is not only home to insectoid beasts; the appearance of other monsters is unpredictable.
These four types are considered to be the most common places where monsters are found.
The scene you're teleported to is also random; if you're lucky, you'll be teleported directly to the flag.
Those who are unlucky might be teleported to the edge of the simulated battlefield, and whether they can find the flag depends on their skills.
They need to pick up an item and pin it to their collar. If they fail, they will be immediately teleported back, which also means that person is out of the game.
The classmate next to Su Li reminded her, "Although people don't actually die, according to people who have participated before, it seems that the feeling is really like death, and it's incredibly painful."
"Our college is always at the bottom. Look at other colleges, they're so rich they're amazing. Their mechs look so shiny and golden. What do we have to compare with them?"
Faced with her classmates' sighs and lamentations, Su Li remained calm and even looked around. Suddenly, she met Bian Shize's probing gaze.
Su Li glanced at him and then looked away.
Qin Ning, standing next to Bian Shize, felt uneasy. She sensed that Bian Shize's gaze towards Su Li was somewhat different.
He seemed to have a special feeling for Su Li. He said that Su Li was just a woman who had heartlessly abandoned him, but he always paid close attention to Su Li's every move.
Even though Ning Ruoxi was someone he was engaged to, in Bian Shize's heart, it was as if she had never existed.
This made Qin Ning very annoyed.
She felt it was all Ning Ruoxi's fault for sending those things and affecting her mood.
Su Li lined up and received a transparent object, which she pinned to her clothes. Then, led by the instructor, she sat in her mecha and entered the simulated battlefield.
Her mecha was much smaller and lighter than the others'.
It was quite eye-catching among all the mechs.
At the beginning of the journey, instructors will lead the way, and along the way, there are various fantasy-like interstellar monsters specially created by the Federation.
As the students walk past, the appearances of those interstellar monsters will appear.
As a mecha soldier, I simulated many scenarios back in school. Naturally, I also simulated encountering various alien beasts, but the alien beasts here seem to be even more powerful and terrifying than those in school.
"Don't panic. This stretch of road is just to help you get used to it. These strange beasts are just different in appearance from those at our school, otherwise they're no different," Yue Qianxing reassured her.
Under the instructors' command, the students used mechs to fight against the alien beasts, regaining some of the feeling of fighting at school, and gradually gained confidence.
Although they are all simulations, this place is still different from school.
The academies were originally separate, but they gradually came together to fight the alien beasts.
Someone accidentally flung the alien beast out, and it just so happened to hit Qin Ning's mecha standing next to it.
Qin Ning took a few steps back and exclaimed, "Ouch!"
Bian Shize quickly maneuvered his mecha to rush over and punched the student. Before even fully entering the simulated battlefield, he had already eliminated the student.
Faced with the student instructor's questioning, Bian Shize did not think he was wrong.
“It’s unacceptable for him to bully my woman. Otherwise, I’ll make him kowtow and kneel until Ningning forgives him.”
Su Li: "..." She has that serious illness!
The opposing instructor was not one to be trifled with either, and immediately started fighting with Bian Shize.
They hadn't even entered the first phase of the simulated battlefield yet, and they were already missing a few students. They couldn't appease Bian Shize's hatred without giving him a good beating.
While munching on sunflower seeds, Xiang Bei watched the excitement. There was such a scene in the original text, but it happened during a simulated competition for mecha manufacturers. Su Li's mecha accidentally injured Ning Ruoxi, so Bian Shize immediately dismantled Su Li's mecha, abandoned all the students, picked up Ning Ruoxi, and left, even threatening to make Su Li suffer a terrible death.
The world's consciousness is secretly revising the plot again.
However, the plot was drastically altered after Su Li's awakening, to the point that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.
Naturally, Bian Shize was not given a chance to dismantle Su Li's mecha.
Bian Shize was punched by the instructor opposite him, landing near Su Li's feet. Before Su Li could react, Yue Qianxing, controlling his mecha, kicked her away.
He also said righteously, "If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else, don't affect the students of our Federal Military Academy."
After listening attentively to Yue Qianxing, the opposing instructor punched Bian Shize's mecha again.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Their every move is visible to those outside the arena.
Not only can the referees on the sidelines see it, but the video will also be transmitted back to each college in real time, so that even ordinary people can see it.
Bian Shize thus eliminated that student without any scruples, and not only the school where Bian Shize now works can see it, but the student's military academy can also see it.
The opposing instructor stopped when he heard the referee's reprimand, and then directly complained to the referee about Bian Shize.
"I heard that this person has had his teaching qualifications revoked. What qualifications does he have to be a team leader? I hope you can give us an explanation."
At the Federal Mecha Academy, everyone looked at Bian Shize in bewilderment. The vice principal wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead, secretly glad he had expelled the boy. Sometimes, watching Bian Shize's behavior, he felt that he was a bit abnormal.
Now everyone in the intergalactic world can see that what almost brought shame upon them was their Federation Military Academy.
Fortunately, they weren't the ones who lost face this time.
Ning Ruoxi saw it too.
When he heard Bian Shize mention kneeling and kowtowing, he quickly covered his cheeks.
The sweetness she felt when she first heard Bian Shize say those words has now turned into knives stabbing into her heart. She must be crazy; how could she have found Bian Shize's words so appealing?
Now, when she hears such words, she wishes she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
It sounds like he's sick no matter how you look at it.
Seeing Qin Ning's shy expression when she heard those words, Ning Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it wasn't her who was embarrassed.
If she were filmed, she might not be able to survive.
Thinking back to how I used to grab onto my grandfather's clothes and say that I would die without Bian Shize.
Ning Ruoxi quickly stopped her thoughts; it was terrifying, her mind felt like it had been eaten away.
No one is indispensable.
She still couldn't understand why she had disregarded everything for Bian Shize back then.
And then there's Su Li. It seems her family fell into ruin because she fell in love with Bian Shize, right?
Although her Ning family was alright, Ning Ruoxi dared not think that if she continued on her impulsive ways, it would only be a matter of time before she dragged her family down with her.
Seeing Qin Ning's expression, Ning Ruoxi immediately sent a message to her grandfather using her personal terminal.
She's still her aunt's daughter, after all. If she embarrasses them, they'll share the blame too. Let Grandpa try to persuade Auntie; it's pointless to talk to Qin Ning anyway, she won't listen.
Bian Shize, as the team leader, maliciously eliminated the students and was forcibly taken away. Fortunately, each college had a substitute team leader to prevent emergencies.
As for the student who was knocked out after accidentally bumping into Qin Ning, he got his badge back and rejoined his instructor.
When they came in, they saw Bian Shize being forcibly taken out, and he was having a heart-wrenching farewell scene with Qin Ning.
"Aze, no, Aze, let him go!"
"Ningning, my Ningning, don't cry. Don't worry, I won't be defeated by these people. You have to keep going. I'll be watching you from outside."
The instructor of the eliminated students sidled up to Yue Qianxing, "Did they do it on purpose?"
Yue Qianxing was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems so."
I just couldn't hold back anymore, and they pulled this stunt right before going on stage. Who are they trying to disgust?
Or is this some kind of tactic?
Is it just plain disgusting?
Bian Shize was taken away. The new team leader hadn't had a chance to play because of Bian Shize's presence. Unexpectedly, he would be brought on as a substitute for such an absurd reason.
To be honest, the opposing team didn't want to be substituted in like this; it would be too embarrassing.
When I heard that Bian Shize was taken away, he even made a heart shape with his hands for Qin Ning.
Just thinking about that scene makes me want to vomit.
Because of Bian Shize's actions, the opposing academy already harbors resentment towards them.
If they hadn't yet officially entered the simulated battlefield, they would have suspected a conspiracy to deliberately eliminate the students. The instructor leading the team glanced at the new instructor and then said something to his students.
Upon seeing the portal appear, the instructors in charge had to stop.
Instructor Yue looked at everyone and said, "Good luck, everyone. I'll be waiting outside for your good news."
The students responded enthusiastically and then stepped into the portal.
Su Li also went inside.
My vision was blurry and I couldn't see clearly until I could see it clearly and realized that I was in a snowy wonderland.
She could sense how cold it was outside, but despite the sensation, she felt fine.
Her mecha is more than capable of withstanding the cold, and considering various unforeseen circumstances, the internal temperature of the mecha is generally stable.
It was all white all around, and despite so many students coming in, there wasn't a single one. This was really too random; I had no idea where the others had been teleported to.
Su Li's mecha is blue and white. When the wind and snow cover the blue mecha, walking in the snow is almost like being invisible.
Unable to see anyone else, she had no choice but to keep walking. She didn't know how long she walked before she finally saw people.
The other person was also very excited to see her, feeling as if they were seeing a long-lost relative.
Seeing a living person in this vast sea of snow is indeed not easy, especially one from his own academy, which made He Xiao even happier.
"Su Li." He Xiao ran towards Su Li.
If Su Li hadn't taken the initiative to clear the snow off the mecha, she almost wouldn't have seen it.
Since they were from the same academy, Su Li invited the other person to walk together, just to avoid any danger.
"Your mecha is so cool, and the design is so unique!" He Xiao had this feeling the first time he saw Su Li's mecha.
There were just too many people, so she couldn't just go over and talk about it.
This is clearly a female mecha. I wonder what it feels like to pilot this mecha.
When she gets back, she must ask Su Li to let her try out this mecha.
The other person was very talkative, and even though Su Li didn't respond much, He Xiao was happy to hear her say a few words occasionally.
Actually, it's fine if Su Li doesn't respond to her. She's just too bored by herself. As long as there are people around, she can talk to herself for a long time.
"Watch out!" Su Li grabbed the opponent's mech and slapped out with her palm. A laser shot out, instantly forming a semi-transparent handprint, which then flew out and hit the snow beast that suddenly appeared in front of her.
