There were the most guards near the main gate, but they were also the least vigilant. Who would have thought that someone would be brave enough to climb over the wall near the main gate?
As long as Wei San avoided those guards and didn't let them find him, he could successfully climb out.
In order not to repeat the same mistake, Wei San put all his life's learning into full play and jumped very fast.
A guard team of twelve people passed by.
"What happened just now?" Someone at the end of the guard team turned around and asked.
"It's just the wind blowing on the trees. You are so timid." The people in the same row laughed, "With Major Li Ze here, who dares to climb over the wall?"
"Didn't that Wei San climb over the wall yesterday?"
"Yesterday was yesterday. That Wei San was also unlucky. He climbed over the wall and was discovered by Major Li Ze."
The unlucky Wei San in their mouths had already hidden in the corner of the wall and took the opportunity to climb out again.
This time, Wei San still went around a long way before going to the black factory. The owner didn't eat noodles today, but stood at the door of the store holding her drawings and waiting for her.
"Boss, have the feathers arrived?" Wei San asked as soon as he came in.
"The feathers you want are of different sizes, so they need to be re-sampled. They replied that they will arrive tomorrow." The shop owner handed the drawing to Wei San, and after hesitation, reminded him, "Don't give design drawings to others casually."
He opened Wei San's drawing when he went to purchase goods that day, and found that it not only had the model size of the feathers, but also other designs.
"It's nothing important, I remember it all." Wei San said indifferently. There is no patent in this world, and she also made changes based on others' work, so there is nothing to hide.
The shop owner looked at her strangely: "I didn't expect you to be an open-minded person."
Most mecha masters would like to hide their design data for a lifetime and only show the results, but there are a very small number of mecha masters who will make their data public and make it open source for everyone to refer to.
This kind of mecha master is called an open-minded person.
"Boss, how do you paint this mecha?" Wei San looked at the mecha on the operating table. This was her first time taking on a task, and she wanted to make it perfect. The black factory's mecha was all black, and the cloud-breaking wings she wanted were white and gold. They didn't look good together, so why not change the mecha's color to white and gold?
The owner listened to Wei San's idea and looked at her suspiciously: "You actually have an aesthetic sense?" No one knew who had modified a "colorful" mecha last week.
Wei San had a blank expression on his face: If you weren't poor, who wouldn't have a high-level aesthetic sense.
"If you want the white and gold color of the cloud-breaking wings, it will be expensive." The owner quoted a number.
Wei San: "..." This is a blatant robbery.
"The minerals needed for this color are rare and always expensive. Do you still want it?" The shop owner thought that coloring was actually optional, and that rich people had many tricks.
Wei San was silent for a while, and finally said yes.
"Do you really want it?" The shop owner felt that this was not in line with her style of being very picky.
"If you want it, then do it well." Wei San's own mecha could barely do it, but since he had taken on the task of Anxi, he wanted to do it well.
Almost every night, Wei San would pull out a list and ask the shop owner to help him buy the goods, and 50 million star coins would be spent like water.
…
Since the credits and class hours were reset, Wei San’s schedule was now filled up. She would go wherever the credits were high. The key point was that no matter where she went, everyone knew that Wei San was a person personally punished by Major Li Ze, and she also had a new title - the wall-climbing king.
No one could climb the wall as "sensationally" as she did.
Since she was called the "wall-climbing king", Wei San would be unworthy of this title if she didn't continue climbing.
Perhaps Li Ze didn't expect that there would be a student who would dare to continue climbing after being named by him, so Wei San climbed very smoothly in the next few days, and no one noticed at all.
As soon as the class started today, Chen Ci walked past Wei San and said in an ambiguous tone, "The King of Climbing Walls?"
"Puchi!"
The students beside him couldn't help laughing. It was so embarrassing. Just thinking about it was too miserable.
Wei San was thick-skinned and didn't feel ashamed at all. He was unmoved.
"You haven't got the seat for the shooter yet, so you have to leave your name with the major first. Wei San, I underestimated you." Chen Ci glanced at the students in the class, "Don't laugh. That night you were all busy organizing your instruments and ironing clothes, and only Wei San ran to the north to deliberately show off to the major. You are on the first floor, but she is already on the fifth floor."
Wei San: "..." She really didn't.
Chen Ci didn't fight with the students today, but arranged interference training for them to complete.
Everyone stood in the high temperature, facing countless targets and strong winds. All factors that affect shooting accuracy seemed to come together. Wei San stood there, raised his arm, and looked at the target opposite quietly.
Chen Ci inspected the students' achievements, then stood in a place and said slowly: "The school will select ten shooters at the end of the semester. If any of you can get a seat, I can give you an extra 30 points."
30 points?!
Wei San's mind moved, and his arm moved slightly, hitting the bull's eye.
If she completed Chen Ci's classes for a semester normally, she would only have 10 points at the end of the semester, which was relatively high compared to other teachers. Wei San chose her because she gave a lot of credits. The accumulated training hours could also be converted into credits. Wei San had calculated the credits and hours before, and she was on the edge of passing, around 60 credits.
Now, if she gets a shooter seat, she can get 30 points. If she gets it, she can take fewer classes.
Wei San immediately became excited. She was sure to get the shooter position.
"There are a total of 1,000 people in the school team, but there are only 10 shooters." Chen Ci was chatting casually, attracting the students' attention. Some students were already paying attention to her and missed the target. "These ten shooters will be the most important link in the school team. If they cooperate well, they will bring important victory opportunities to the school."
"Teacher Chen Ci and Major Li Ze are from the same class." The classmate next to Wei San gossiped in a low voice, "Teacher Chen Ci was in the school team back then. They competed with the Imperial Military Academy team several times in the Hephaestus Competition. Once, because of a few seconds gained by Teacher Chen Ci, Major Li Ze defeated the people from the Samuel Military Academy, and our school got the points."
"You missed the target." Wei San said to the classmate next to him after firing twenty shots in a row.
"Fuck!"
Chen Ci looked at the students: "But the school team selection is for the entire school, not just one grade. Strength is paramount."
"Teacher, this is unfair. This is only our first semester at school, and the seniors have been training for a long time." A student shouted.
"Really? I was selected for the school team when I was only in school for one semester." Chen Ci lowered her head and played with her fingers, then used her hand as a gun, raised it and aimed it at the students, her eyes cold, "The Hephaestus Competition is more unfair and cruel than this, you'd better prepare yourself for death or disability."
Wei San was staring at the target without looking at Chen Ci. After all, the grades in every class are very important to her now. If she gets an excellent grade at the end of the semester, she can get an extra credit.
In order to have fewer classes and free up time to learn mecha knowledge, Wei San has begun to do everything she can.
She didn't feel much when she heard what Chen Ci said. The teachers on Star 3212 often say this, and it's true. At that time, there were no mechas, so they went into battle with real bodies carrying a dagger.
Wei San feels that there has never been a harder time than that time. Compared to now, it is simply a pleasure now.
...
Friday night, the underground floor of the black factory.
"Ready?"
"Ready." Wei San entered the newly modified mecha and controlled it to release the cloud-breaking wings and gold-painted crossbows on the arms.
The owner looked at the mecha in the workshop with amazement. This mecha can be called a top-level A-class mecha in terms of attack capability and beauty. It was obviously the original mecha of the black factory a week ago.
Wei San tried it and felt it was not bad, so he came out to put the mecha away. After a week of getting up early and working late, and paying the price of zero credits, the transformation was finally completed.
"This money is worth it!" The shopkeeper gave Wei San a thumbs up.
"Of course it's worth it, 50 million..." Wei San fell silent. She turned on her computer and discovered something.
Qi Anxi gave her 50 million star coins. Wei San wanted to make some money from it, but she got so obsessed with modifying the mecha that she spent all the 50 million star coins on buying all kinds of materials and parts.
No, she even paid for the rent of Wu Ye's workshop, plus credits and classes.
"..."
Wei San felt heartache even when she breathed. She was supposed to make money, but now she lost money.
"You will definitely become famous if you show this mecha modification to others." The shop owner said angrily, "You young people are really getting better and better."
Wei San comforted herself in her heart that she had at least had a chance to modify a mecha. She pointed to several rolls of blueprints piled up beside her and said, "Boss, you can modify it too. I'll sell you the blueprints. How about 500,000 star coins?"
The shop owner agreed directly without hesitation. Who would miss such a good thing? However, he had professional ethics and asked, "Please leave your name."
Wei San wrote a line of words directly on the blueprints on the stall: "Poor guy has no money to make mechas"
Shop owner: "..."
"Is this okay?"
"Sure." The shop owner swiped the money to her and put away the blueprints with one hand. This person may not want to reveal his identity.
But he couldn't think of any mecha master who was as stingy and generous as her.
Wei San made some money from the design drawings, and he finally felt more balanced and slept better at night.
The next morning, he handed the mecha to Qi Anxi on the second underground floor. He took the mecha but didn't try it out immediately. He just said thank you politely.
"Try it out. If you find anything wrong, I can modify it... let my friend modify it." Wei San said seriously. This was the mecha she had modified at her own expense. If there were any problems, she probably wouldn't be qualified to continue.
The two went to the black factory training ground together. As soon as Qi Anxi released the mecha, the people who were training around looked over subconsciously.
This mecha was too dazzling, especially the platinum color. You could tell at a glance that it cost a lot of money.
Qi Anxi was also a little stunned. He didn't care much about the modification of this mecha before. As long as he could add two weapons, it would be fine.
"The Cloud-Breaking Wings have been modified a bit, and my friend has replaced the black crossbow with a gold-painted crossbow. You can try it." Wei San explained the changes to Qi'anxi in detail.
There is a trial area in the training ground. Qi'anxi controlled the mecha to try out the new weapon, but he was very sensitive to the fact that this mecha was smoother than before, and it seemed that it was not as simple as adding weapons.
A mecha covered in platinum suddenly released two Cloud-Breaking Wings and flew into the sky. The lights in the training ground shone on the platinum-colored mecha. The fragmented and dazzling light made people around unconsciously cast their eyes over. The platinum feathers were thin and sharp, and the light that flashed was cold and frightening.
Apart from anything else, just the appearance of this mecha was enough to bluff people.
In the mecha cabin, Qi Anxi's fingers moved quickly on the control panel. Everyone saw that the Broken Cloud Wings flapped lightly, and the opposite steel plate was immediately covered with small and sharp sleeve arrows.
This is not the Broken Cloud Wings!
Anyone with a discerning eye around noticed that the Broken Cloud Wings of Qi Anxi's mecha were different from those of others.
Think about it, in a competition, how much would it cost to avoid such dense attacks? There are similar weapons, but they have never appeared on Broken Cloud Wings.
Moreover...
Shit!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Qi Anxi in the trial area had already controlled the Broken Cloud Wings to throw on the steel plate, leaving deep marks. The essence of the Broken Cloud Wings has not been changed at all, and it can still be used as an offensive weapon.
What kind of Broken Cloud Wings is this? It can be used for three purposes!
Qi Anxi tried the gold-painted crossbow again, and it felt good. He came out of the mecha and thanked Wei San again: "Your friend... is amazing."
"She is amazing." Wei San said without any self-praise.
Qi Anxi put away the mecha and prepared to cross the level to challenge L3: "We'll meet on the third floor of the basement." He didn't think that the two of them would fail.
