The 5 a.m. bus only takes ten minutes from the garbage dump to 3212 College, which is very fast.
When Wei San arrived, it was still dark and there were few people at the school gate. It was not until 5:30 that more people came.
At 6 o'clock, the teacher came out on time.
"Everyone, form ten teams and follow me in."
The team was very long. Wei San estimated that there were five or six thousand students.
After a commotion, the team was finally formed. The teacher's eyes flickered over the group of students, and then turned around: "Follow."
The teacher led them to the school playground and stopped. There were nine other teachers waiting on the podium in the playground.
Ten teachers stood in a row and discussed in low voices for a while. A teacher in the middle stood up and spoke to the students: "Welcome everyone to 3212 College. From today on, you will embark on a painful road of advancement."
Wei San looked up at the ten teachers on the podium and was a little distracted: the teachers in this world seemed to be too upright, with long legs and straight waists. In her world, they looked like soldiers.
"I don't know how many of you will still be alive after the end of the semester, so please cherish every training, maybe it can save your life." The teacher's stern eyes moved from left to right, "For humanitarian reasons, the school will issue star coins at the end of each semester according to the severity of your injuries. If you unfortunately die, 20,000 pensions will be distributed to your parents."
Wei San: "???"
Why did she sound so wrong?
Aren't reserve mecha masters just learning how to identify materials and lay the foundation for the future design and repair of mechas? Why is it related to life and death? According to the teacher, the 5,000 to 20,000 star coins she saw yesterday were not scholarships.
Wei San suddenly had a bad feeling.
The teacher's speech was very short, and soon each teacher led a team to leave and took the students to collect school uniforms.
Wei San followed the team, collected the school uniforms, and while changing into school uniforms, he turned on the optical computer to check the information of the 3212 Academy. After reading all the information at a glance: "..."
3212 only has this one reserve school, which specializes in training reserve mecha masters and reserve mecha soldiers. Class B is for reserve mecha soldiers, and Class A is for reserve mecha masters.
...She reported to the wrong class.
The casualty rate and dropout rate of the reserve mecha soldiers have always been high. There are 5,000 to 6,000 students enrolled, and after a semester, the number can be reduced to 3,000. Excluding the casualties, there will be quite a few students who can't stand it after each semester and drop out to transfer to ordinary schools, so the tuition will be lower. At the end of the semester, if the injury is serious
, star coins will be issued. Wei San stared at the computer for a long time. It is impossible to change majors now. She can't make up the money. If she drops out and registers again next year, the school will still not refund the tuition she paid yesterday.
It's better to muddle through for one semester first, and then think about changing majors when she finds a way to make money. One thousand star coins can't be wasted.
The teacher came over and saw Wei San who hadn't changed into her school uniform yet. She frowned and said, "What are you doing taking so long? Hurry up and change."
Wei San immediately turned off the computer and went to the locker room to change into her school uniform.
After everyone in the team had changed into their school uniforms, the teacher raised her eyes and said, "Everyone, run around the school twenty times."
3212 The school is quite large, and they are still children. They were stunned after running one lap, let alone twenty laps.
By the third lap, Wei San's dizziness came back. She was hungry.
"Everyone, cheer up. Class B doesn't have points like Class A. We only get points for each test. The only criterion is that you are still alive after the final test." The teacher followed slowly behind them, "You know what it means to be alive? Every extra lap you run now will increase your chances of survival in the future."
After running six laps like this, the teams were clearly divided into different groups. There were dozens of students in the front who never slowed down, and the hundred or so people at the back had already started walking.
Wei San was running in the middle, panting, and occasionally looking up. Those students were too physically fit.
At the tenth lap, the teacher stood at the front, holding a box that he had gotten from somewhere: "There are nutrient solutions here, about fifty or so, first come first served."
When Wei San heard this, he was refreshed and his pace quickened. Many students in the middle were like her, and their speed suddenly increased.
Wei San gritted her teeth and rushed forward, not only for the nutrient solution, but also because she wanted to stay. The tuition fee could not be wasted. Only by staying here could she have the opportunity to learn about mecha masters, so she had to finish the twenty laps.
"Thirty, twenty-nine... and the last ten. Come on, people behind." The teacher said leisurely.
Wei San's temples were throbbing. There were still twelve people in front of her. As long as she surpassed two people and kept up, she could get the last nutrient solution.
...
"There are three more..." The teacher had just said this when another student rushed over, "This is the last one."
Wei San was still fifty meters away from the person in front of her. Seeing that she was about to run to the teacher, she wiped the sweat off her forehead, gritted her teeth and rushed over. Finally, she passed the person in front of her and got the last nutrient solution.
She poured the nutrient solution into her mouth while running. As soon as she drank it, Wei San found that this nutrient solution was different from the problematic nutrient solution she picked up from the garbage dump. As soon as she swallowed this nutrient solution, the feeling of abundant energy immediately filled her whole body.
Wei San felt that she could run another ten laps.
The fifty students who grabbed the nutrient solution were basically the first to complete the task, but after running twenty laps, they were paralyzed on the ground.
Wei San couldn't help but sigh that survival makes people strong. Thinking back to the past in the original world, after work, she would rather sit than stand, and would never sit if she could lie down. Now, at the age of seven, she can run so far.
The first day of school was spent running. When it was time to leave school, many students had not completed twenty laps. The teacher just waved his hand and said, "Class is over. Those who haven't finished can leave."
Wei San looked at the time and it was just past five o'clock. She missed the bus.
In this world, you can also take a taxi, or a flying taxi, but the price is a bit expensive. Wei San thought about it and decided to go to the material market first.
As the name suggests, the material market is a place where all kinds of materials are sold. Wei San originally thought that he would buy some materials to make an electric car and be able to go back freely. As a result, when he got there, he saw that all the materials were unfamiliar to him.
After visiting several stores, Wei San finally discovered what the energy source of this world is - gray crystal.
Gray crystal is a kind of energy mined by the Federation, which can be directly supplied to mechas. Ordinary families cannot use it, and can only use something called a crystal card, which contains processed gray crystals.
A thin card contains energy, which can be supplied to various tools. After the energy in the crystal card is used up, it can be recharged, which is a bit like the electricity in Wei San's original world.
Wei San spent 600 star coins to buy a crystal card, which had a balance of 500. She planned to use it to provide energy for her electric car. She also bought a welding gun. The one she used before was left by an old man, and its performance was not good enough.
After walking around the entire material street and getting to know all kinds of new and strange materials, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Wei San walked out of the alley and found a store selling mechas, so she walked in.
The decoration inside the store was very magnificent, but there were only three mechas inside. Wei San took a closer look. The three mechas were of different types and all looked good, but... According to the information she found on the optical computer, mechas are used for fighting, and it is impossible to see which part of these three mechas can be used to attack insects.
She said what she was thinking, and the customer who was also looking at the mecha laughed: "Kid, this is a viewing mecha, not a combat mecha. The military will not sell mecha on the market."
So that's it.
Wei San stayed in the store for a while. The three mechas were more expensive than each other. The cheapest one cost five million star coins. However, the price of mobile gold itself is expensive, one gram costs one hundred thousand star coins, so it's not surprising that the mecha is so expensive.
After leaving the store, Wei San spent fifty star coins to take a taxi back. After not sleeping all night, he finally made a simple version of the "electric car". He rode the car to school early the next morning.
Just as she arrived at the school gate, a flying vehicle flew over her head and stopped. Jin Ke came out and waved at her: "Wei San."
"What kind of car is this?" Jin Ke walked around her electric car, "Are you selling it?"
Wei San: "Fifty thousand star coins."
"Forget it." Jin Ke looked at her back seat, "Can I sit here? Take me into the school."
"Five hundred star coins per trip."
"Aren't we friends?"
"I'm poor."
Jin Ke raised her hand and handed five hundred star coins to Wei San, then sat down behind her: "Okay."
Watching this strange thing moving much faster than the previous tricycle, Jin Ke became more and more convinced that Wei San was the child of a master, and this car was probably made by a master as well.
The tricycle was dismantled by Jin Ke's family teacher last time. It didn't have any sophisticated structure and needed manpower to move. It was just for the sake of novelty. The teacher said it had no research value. This one is probably the same.
"I'm in class A1, which class are you in?" Jin Ke asked Wei San who was riding a bicycle in front.
"B5."
Jin Ke was stunned: "Class B? Aren't you a reserve mecha master? How come you are a reserve mecha soldier?"
"No?" Wei San asked back calmly.
If it weren't for the pressure of life, who wouldn't be a reserve mecha master.
"Okay, reserve mecha soldier is also good."
The two separated, Wei San found his class, found an empty seat and sat down, not knowing what to learn today.
The teacher was still the same teacher. When the bell rang, he stood on the podium and put out the course schedule.
After reading it, Wei San felt cold in her heart: running with weights, fighting, using daggers... all physical training, only one day is cultural class.
What is she, a weak former engineer, learning these for?
...
After taking classes at 3212 Academy for more than half a month, Wei San felt that her way to make money was far away, and the teacher's tasks were getting heavier day by day. Every time after school, her hands and feet were shaking, and she fell asleep as soon as she returned to the broken building, and she had no intention of thinking about anything else.
More importantly, she heard that before the monthly exam of Class A began, more than 200 students had voluntarily transferred to ordinary schools because they could not afford the materials.
A qualified mecha master is accumulated with countless money, which ordinary people can't afford.
Now, it is even more impossible for Wei San to change his major, but fortunately, the school library is not divided into different areas, and students in Class B can also borrow books related to mecha masters.
As a former top engineer, Wei San decided to leave it this way for the time being, so that she can learn by herself.
I have to find time to ask Jin Ke what they are learning in class.
"Today I will teach you how to hunt. Unfortunately, our 3212 stars are too poor and cannot afford a holographic simulator, so please treat the students in front of you as prey and remember to use the methods taught in the last class. No punishment for losing, and if you win..." The teacher then smiled slightly, "No reward."
As the whistle sounded, the person in front of Wei San immediately rushed over and hugged her across the waist, trying to throw her to the ground.
Fuck!
After this fall, she will have to stay in bed for ten days or half a month. Although the school's treatment cabin can make her alive and kicking in half an hour, she has no money!
I'm sorry, brother.
Wei San took two steps back, grabbed the opponent's hand, pulled it hard, turned around and threw him on his back. This was not the end. In order to make the opponent completely lose the ability to move, she could only break his hand.
There were many wailing sounds on the field, and the seriously injured were immediately sent to the infirmary.
After the opponent admitted defeat, Wei San stood up, feeling sad in his heart: This violent reserve mecha soldier.
...
The author has something to say: Wei·Weak·Engineer·San sighed after breaking his classmate's hand: This reserve mecha soldier is really too violent.
