"Um?"
Mo Tianyun turned around and found that there were still many people waiting there.
When Mo Tianyun looked at the other examiners, the other examiners also looked at Mo Tianyun.
"The robot attendant was explaining the assessment method to this young man, so this young man must be here for the first time to be assessed as a regular combat mech pilot."
"This young man is probably just curious. He's only here because his family has money to buy him a mecha, and he's just playing around with it."
"Yes, I was like that too. When I was a teenager, I wanted to become a combat mech pilot. My family supported me by buying the cheapest ordinary combat mech. After practicing for two and a half years, I took the test, but I didn't manage to kill a single Zerg in the virtual world and was eliminated."
"I'm 30 years old now and I still haven't become a regular combat mech pilot. I hope I can succeed this time."
"Oh right, wasn't there a boy around the same age as this young man just now?"
"Yes, he was sitting in that corner."
A man with a buzz cut looked up at a corner.
Hearing their conversation, Mo Tianyun realized that there was another person of similar age who had come here for the assessment, so he looked curiously towards that corner.
"Yeah, he's about my age, but he's quite handsome!"
In the corner, there was a particularly handsome black-haired boy.
With delicate features, fair skin, and red lips, he would definitely be a campus heartthrob, and many girls would surely send him love letters.
He sat upright, like a clock, his sharp eyes always looking ahead, and even if he knew someone was talking about him, his eyes would not waver in the slightest.
He was dressed in an elegant and tasteful white outfit, and looked very debonair.
She exudes a noble aura, and one look at her tells you that she has an extraordinary bearing; such an aura can only be cultivated in a prominent family.
Mo Tianyun couldn't help but take a second look.
Perhaps because Mo Tianyun's gaze lingered on him for too long, the boy also noticed Mo Tianyun's gaze, so he turned his head slightly to look.
When he saw Mo Tianyun, his composure vanished, replaced by a look of utter astonishment.
"Mo Tianyun!"
He couldn't help but call out Mo Tianyun's name.
"You know me?" Mo Tianyun asked, somewhat puzzled, when the other party called out his name.
The other party did not respond, but turned their face to the side and ignored Mo Tianyun.
Seeing this, Mo Tianyun didn't ask any more questions.
In the corner, the boy was no longer calm and composed; his whole body was trembling slightly.
From the moment he saw Mo Tianyun, the boy's calm state of mind could no longer be maintained, and he instantly became a turbulent sea.
"Hahaha, he still doesn't recognize me. As expected, Mo Tianyun has never taken me seriously!"
"Yes, the first place is always the most dazzling. Who will remember the second place? After all, the second place is a loser, haha, just a loser. Nobody will remember him."
"I originally thought that your glorious life would end with your dropping out of school. I never dreamed that you would appear here!"
“Since you dropped out of school, I’ve been in first place, but I’ve never been truly happy when I go up on stage to receive the award.”
"I only got first place because you dropped out of school. I just can't get over this hurdle, so I've been working really hard to improve myself in every aspect, always imagining that you're still ahead of me and I'm chasing after you from behind."
"I didn't expect you to come here this time. Well then, let me show you the results of my years of hard work!"
"This time, I will definitely defeat you!"
One hour later.
An imperial soldier entered.
"Please bring the personnel who are being assessed as ordinary-level combat mech pilots into the virtual combat room."
Everyone lined up to go inside, where there were many virtual pods.
So the virtual pods are arranged in a circle, and at the center of the circle is a huge sphere, which is the computing system of the virtual world.
"Now, I will explain the content of the mock assessment."
The soldier began to speak.
"All examinees enter the virtual pod. You put the space orbs containing your mechs into the mech generation platform. Then the system will randomly generate a virtual world, and your mechs will appear next to you."
"You will be randomly placed anywhere in this virtual world. Your goal is to find and kill ordinary Zerg. There are no elite Zerg or higher in the virtual world."
"Killing a regular Zerg costs 1 point. You need to reach 5 points to pass. You may encounter other examiners. You can choose to send a team request. After forming a team, the system will reward points according to the contribution when killing Zerg. Alternatively, you can choose to kill the opponent. After killing the opponent, you will receive half of their points."
"The top 3 examinees with a score of 15 or more will be exempt from the actual combat assessment and will pass the assessment directly, automatically becoming ordinary combat mech pilots."
"The time limit is 5 hours. After the time is up, you will be automatically logged out of the virtual world. Now all examinees, please go in and take your positions before we begin."
Mo Tianyun selected virtual pod number 68, took out the space orb, put it into the mecha generation platform of the virtual pod, and then entered the virtual pod.
"All personnel for the assessment are ready!"
"Prepare to enter the virtual world to begin the assessment!"
"3, 2, 1!"
Mo Tianyun felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and found himself in another place—the virtual world.
"Sure enough, the Sky Cloud Mech is right next to me."
Mo Tianyun looked at his mecha from the outside; it was no different from the real world.
Now in the middle.
An officer entered the virtual combat room.
"How skilled were these test takers at piloting their mechs?"
"Sir, it has just begun, and I haven't had a chance to check it yet."
"Alright then, I'll come and see for myself."
"yes!"
The officer began to access the mecha data of the assessment personnel.
The topmost item in the document prominently features Mo Tianyun's mecha.
Assessor: Mo Tianyun; Mech Analysis Information: Perfect-grade Ordinary Combat Mech.
"It's a perfect-grade ordinary combat mech!"
Upon seeing this, the officer's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers nearby immediately ran to see what was happening.
"It really is a perfect-class ordinary combat mech. This is the first time I've seen one like this in so many years!"
The officer immediately clicked on Mo Tianyun's information out of curiosity.
Mo Tianyun, a junior mecha engineer, killed 98 Zerg in Goka City two days ago, including one elite Zerg, saving the city and earning him the title of a young hero.
"It's him! He's the young hero who saved Goka City!"
The officer immediately became respectful.
Salute to the heroes!
In the virtual combat room, an officer and a soldier suddenly saluted in the direction of Mo Tianyun's virtual pod number 68.
Imperial soldiers have always held heroes who protect the people in high esteem, and they also greatly admire the strong.
"Let me take another look at the physical fitness of these examiners."
After the ceremony, the officer began to review the physical fitness data of the examinees.
"A physical ability that can withstand 50 tons of force? Who is that?"
The officer looked and realized it was Mo Tianyun again.
"No wonder it could kill an elite-level Zerg. Besides a perfect-level ordinary combat mech, it also requires that incredible physical strength to do so!"
What he didn't know was that Mo Tianyun wasn't even a genetically evolved martial artist at the time.
The ability to severely damage that elite Zerg was due to the immense force and speed of the fall from the sky, allowing for a surprise attack in an instant.
Mo Tianyun had fought against this elite-level Zerg multiple times in the simulation space, but he was always no match for them and could only barely withstand their attacks.
Virtual world.
Mo Tianyun piloted his mech, searching for the Zerg in the sky.
"Mo Tianyun, there are 3 Zerg at a distance of 31.4 kilometers to the northwest."
The melodious voice of the spirit of miracles reappeared in Mo Tianyun's mind.
This startled Mo Tianyun, as they were in a virtual world!
"Sister Miracle, this is a virtual world, won't you be discovered?"
Mo Tianyun was afraid of being discovered by the spirit of the miracle, as he was not yet capable of protecting the core of the miracle!
"I told you, you don't need to worry. With the technology of your civilization, even the most powerful person couldn't possibly discover me or the core of the miracle if they came to your side, let alone a backward technological product from a marginal planet!"
The spirit of miracles said confidently.
"Okay, then I'm relieved."
Mo Tianyun calmed himself down and said.
He then piloted the mech to a location 31 kilometers to the northwest.
When Mo Tianyun arrived, he discovered that there were three Zerg here.
"There are indeed three Zerg here."
Mo Tianyun charged down, his mecha arm gripping a mecha sword.
They swiftly eliminated three ordinary Zerg.
"Haha, I haven't been able to kill any Zerg in the simulation space since my power increased. Now that I've experienced it, I can only say that I'm much stronger than before!"
"Killing these ordinary Zerg is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, no, it's more like slicing tofu, it's completely effortless."
"To deal with elite-level Zerg, I used to have to launch surprise attacks from the air, but now even elite-level Zerg will die by my sword!"
Mo Tianyun looked at the sword in his hand, then gently swung it, wanting to feel the immense power he now possessed.
"Mo Tianyun, there are 2 Zerg in the due east direction, 67 kilometers away."
"Okay, killing these two is enough. You don't need to tell me their location. I'll head straight for the Zerg. If I kill too many, they'll get suspicious."
Mo Tianyun was still worried that if he killed too many, people would find out. After all, others had to search for the Zerg before they could kill them, but now he seemed to know where the Zerg were in the virtual world without even searching. This was too suspicious!
"Okay, I understand."
The spirit of the miracle agreed.
A short while later.
"arrive."
Mo Tianyun looked down at the two ordinary Zerg below from the air.
"To be honest, the ordinary Zerg are too weak now, I don't even want to use my mech sword to cut them down."
Mo Tianyun shook his head, thinking as he spoke.
"If there are only one or two ordinary Zerg, it's fine, but if I encounter tens of thousands of ordinary Zerg, wouldn't I be exhausted and still not be able to kill that many Zerg?"
