I have money: [Hello, can we chat?]

I have money: [I am also an S-class mecha master, can we exchange some ideas?]

I have money: [I am very interested in the structural data of the complete mecha you built earlier.]

I have money: [… Let’s chat once, you can pay me or I can give you materials.]

I have money: [Are you there? I hope we can exchange ideas.]

…

Wei San was exhausted by the teachers’ training, not just physically, but also mentally. She was quite smart about machinery, but she was overwhelmed by tactics.

After finally dragging his heavy feet back to the dormitory, Wei San lay on the bunk and casually logged into the design section of the Rubik's Cube Forum, wanting to see the S-class mecha with only a head and arms, but he received so many messages from "I have money".

Wei San's eyes fell on the message that he said he was an S-class mecha and chatted to give money and materials, and suddenly sat up.

There is such a good thing? !

Then she can chat with him forever!

Poor guy with no money to make a mecha: [Chat, what materials do you have first? Is it S-class material? ]

Poor guy with no money to make a mecha: [Still there? ]

Wei San sent the message and waited, and his tired brain finally woke up. The other party asked about the complete mecha, not the S-class mecha.

What is there to talk about that complete mecha?

Why does Liao look so ugly?

Ying Chenghe received a special reminder in the experimental studio and immediately turned on the optical computer and logged in.

I have money: [An S-class engine, an S-class reflective shield, and an S-class leg joint. You can choose any one of the three.]

Half a year ago, Ying Chenghe would offer the highest price at the beginning, instead of three ordinary S-class materials, and the other party had to choose one of the three.

But Wei San and Jin Ke taught him one thing by their own actions, that people can't be generous at the beginning, otherwise they will be blamed.

But this is the case, Wei San, who has never seen the world, was stunned. Just chatting and giving away S-class materials?

Poor guy with no money to build a mecha: [What's your name? I can talk about any structure you want to know, love you!]

Poor guy with no money to build a mecha: [I want an engine, thank you. 】

I have money: [Okay, I can give you an address and I will send the engine there.]

Wei San threw out the address of the shop owner on the underground floor of the black factory on the spot.

I have money: [I have analyzed your mecha. The material data is not very good, but some places are very interesting. For example, how did you improve the defense performance of the mecha so much? There are several data in it. Can you explain it? 】

After Ying Chenghe sent this message, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. It stands to reason that S-level mecha masters are good everywhere. No matter which star they go to, there will be companies and noble families recruiting them.

Why is there only an S-level engine, and the other party's words are full of excitement.

After the other party sent a bunch of explanations, Ying Chenghe felt even more strange. A mecha engine can extract the data structure that the mecha master cares about most?

I have money: [You just give me the data directly? ]

Poor and poor mecha: [...You regret it and don’t want to send the engine? ]

She just cut out to contact the store owner and asked him to pay attention to the receipt.

I have money: [Such important data for the mecha master seems to be given too easily. ]

Poor and poor mecha: [Look at my ID, the child is hungry. ]

Ying Chenghe frowned and looked at the message sent by the other party: [You... are very poor? ]

He immediately thought of a middle-aged man who had no money to buy an engine and had a crying child by his side.

Are there so many poor and destitute mecha masters in the world?

Poor guy has no money to make mecha: [Poor, the child hasn't seen good things for a long time, alas, lack of materials. ]

I have money: [If you are willing, I can recommend you to go to a mecha research and development center. There are many mecha masters there. You don't have to worry about living problems as long as you are strong enough. ]

Such centers are generally established for the purpose of developing mass mechas and expanding production, but the top mechas can only be made by mecha masters alone.

Poor guy has no money to make mecha: [No, I can't get away for the time being. Thank you for your kindness. It would be better if you can send some more materials. ]

I have money: [...Then I will give you another reflective shield. 】

Poor guy with no money to make mecha: [Thank you, is there anything else? ]

Ying Chenghe: "..."

He just pretended not to see the message and continued to ask: [What is the function of the piece behind the mecha? I tested it many times and always felt that it was redundant. ]

Poor guy with no money to make mecha: [This was originally useless. I saw that there was an extra piece in the material library, and it was a bit lonely when it was left alone. It was pitiful that it was not used. ]

Ying Chenghe: ... No wonder he searched through the data and couldn't find any relevant information. The machine also kept showing that this shell was useless.

Poor guy with no money to make mecha: [However, if you have good defensive materials, it will be useful if you put it on the back. When someone attacks, turn around immediately. 】

Wei San said it casually,

and he didn't take it seriously. This kind of defense is not reliable. Ying Chenghe looked at the message, but his mind moved. Wei San said before that it would be better to make the defense as extreme as possible. He had considered it. It is to add a shield shell on the back of the mecha. When necessary, the mecha can be transformed into a tortoise shell mimicry, as long as the materials are configured well.

However, it is not as simple as the other party said now.

I have money: [Okay, those two materials should be in your hands soon. ]

Ying Chenghe looked at the other party's detailed address and was not surprised. He knew that the address was a black factory on Shadu Star.

There are black factories on all the major stars in the Federation. It is difficult to trace the items and materials that flow in again. Ying Chenghe just thought that the other party was cautious and found a black factory for consignment.

...

After the training at noon, Wei San saw Jin Ke and Ying Chenghe appear in the cafeteria together for the first time in a long time.

"Chenghe is treating us today." Jin Ke said as soon as she came in, "Eat more."

"What good thing happened?" Wei San looked up and asked.

"The mecha is almost finished." Ying Chenghe shook off the sluggishness of the past period and was full of energy. Even his dry long hair was a little smoother.

"Congratulations." After Wei San finished speaking, he immediately carried the plate and went to the window with Jin Ke to get new food.

Of course, Ying Chenghe's card was used.

"But it hasn't been named yet." Ying Chenghe said from behind, "It's almost time to report."

Once the report was completed, the five major military academies knew who the contestants from other military academies were and what mechas they used.

The three of them found a new table by the window.

"This is our mecha." Ying Chenghe showed the model to Wei San.

Now that it's almost time to report, the mecha doesn't need to be kept secret anymore.

Wei San stared at the mecha for a long while and said, "Is there a tortoise shell behind it?"

Ying Chenghe nodded, "Yes, the tortoise shell is made of inorganic materials, which can greatly provide defense."

Wei San stepped forward and took a closer look, "Can yours... shrink?"

The mecha's knee joints and several parts on the front have similar materials. She simulated the direction of the mecha's shrinkage based on these parts in her mind. Does it feel like it can become a... ball?

"Yes, if it encounters danger, the entire mecha will shrink up and lose all its offensive power. It can only defend, but unless it encounters someone of Ji Chuyu's level, no one can break it."

Losing offensive power means that no matter what happens to the team after they enter this mecha and press the mimicry button, they can't help at all.

However, after the school saw the mecha transformation plan, they all agreed. This time the situation is more complicated than before, and the whole school is happy to see that there is a way to save the 3S commander and the 3S mecha division.

"Immortal Turtle." Wei San suddenly said.

Jin Ke and Ying Chenghe both looked over: "Immortal Turtle?"

Wei San said "hmm": "How about this name?"

Ying Chenghe lowered his head and read it several times, then said: "This is the name, I will report it in the afternoon."

"How are you doing as a general? Colonel Li Ze has heard about your amazing events." Jin Ke said gloatingly.

"You know it if you know it." Wei San has already given up. "What can a general do? He can only fight with the generals of other military schools."

Jin Ke corrected: "It's still the sixth target of our main commander."

Wei San lowered his head to pick the food, and suddenly said: "You main members are really busy."

"After reporting, in a few weeks, all of us will leave for the first competition." Ying Chenghe's expression was complicated, "This time, the first competition is drawn to the Imperial Capital Star."

Wei San and Jin Ke looked at each other and stared at him.

"I haven't been to the capital yet. What delicious food is there there?" Wei San asked sincerely, looking like he wanted to go there for a trip.

"Chenghe, take us out for a walk when the time comes." Jin Ke said seriously.

Ying Chenghe: "..."

Normal people's first reaction is that the Imperial Capital Star is the home of the Imperial Military Academy, and other military academies will suffer losses if they go there. Why would Wei San think of eating, drinking and having fun?

Jin Ke is the same. When she knew that the first venue was the Imperial Capital Star during the meeting, she pretended to analyze the pros and cons. As soon as she met Wei San, she started to go astray.

"There will be closed training when we go there." Ying Chenghe reminded.

"Fifteen days of training, only ten days of closure, and we will go in advance, so we have time." Jin Ke knew all this information.

"Okay." Ying Chenghe's complicated emotions that had not yet arisen were completely interrupted by these two people.

...

There was not much time left before going to the Imperial Capital Star. Wei San thought it would be better to play a few more ring matches. After discussing with Qi Anxi and the others, they all agreed to play a few more games.

"Head down, we're going to the Imperial Capital in a while, and you may have to fight slowly here alone." Gan Gan patted Wei San on the shoulder, "I don't know if we can see each other again in the future."

Wei San thought that he would go too, but asked, "Are you going to watch the competition?"

Many mecha soldiers of the Black Factory go to watch the Hephaestus competition every year. In fact, they just buy tickets to watch the live broadcast, but they still enjoy it.

Because there are people from the military and commentators at the live broadcast, sometimes you can see the big guys come out, and if you are lucky, you can even see your favorite idol.

These people who follow the competition are basically not military academy students, and they do not join the army. While watching the game, they find the Black Factory base in the local area and play in the ring.

Wei San thought that this incident between Anxi and Gan Gan was also like this.

"Yes." Gan Gan repeated, "Let's go to the game."

"I'll go to the game too." Wei San answered without hesitation.

Qi Anxi next to him said, "When we have time, we can form a team together."

"Which player do you like?" Gan Gan asked Wei San with interest.

"Ying Xingjue." Wei San said a name unconsciously.

"...Why do you like him?" Gan Gan asked casually, but if you listened carefully, you could clearly hear a hint of gnashing teeth.

"Shiny hair."

Gan Gan: "?"

"People these days are all sick." Gan Gan muttered in a low voice, "They all focus on other people's hair."

Wei San didn't hear it because someone came to find her and Qi Anxi.

"Hey guys, here are our invitations to the fourth floor underground. As long as you win fourteen more games and enter the last place in the team standings." A man wearing a hat and bright clothes came over with three invitations in his hands and said, "The invitations are yours."

Wei San reached out to take them, but the other party dodged.

Wei San: "?"

"You have to enter the standings first, then these three invitations can be given to you."

Gan Gan squeezed over: "Then why are you bringing the invitations now? Can't you wait until we enter the standings? Are you here to whet our appetite?"

The man in the hat: "This..."

Gan Gan sneered: "I hate people who pretend to be cool the most. If you want to give it to me, give it now, otherwise I won't take it."

Wei San turned his head to look at Gan Gan. It must be said that he is much more annoying than himself sometimes.

The man in the hat: "It's against the rules to give it in advance."

"So it's against the rules for you to come in advance?" Gan Gan crossed his arms, with a bit of condescending arrogance, "Let's go, we don't have time to receive invitations."

The man in the hat who just wanted to show off: "...Please wait a moment."
