"Are you kidding me?" Ning Jue looked at Cui Zhi in surprise. From what he said, he meant to fight with mechs!
“Of course I’m not joking,” Cui Zhi said with a smile. “This girl’s mecha is quite interesting; you can give it a try.”
Ning Jue frowned. "I remember Lian Han is an armor maker."
"I'm an armorer too. Back in the day, wasn't I invincible in the army?"
"And then you lost to me?"
This was absolutely his most painful experience, and he even lost his first 3S mech for it. Cui Zhi: "...Ning Jue, are you going to fight or not? If not, get lost and stop interfering with my instruction of students!"
"Can't you be a little more mindful of your image in front of the students?"
"Enough with the nonsense. Am I the advisor or are you? The school hasn't said anything about me, why are you meddling?"
Even though Ning Jue knew Cui Zhi's personality, he still frowned at his words.
Lian Han had already recovered from his surprise and frowned at Cui Zhi, "Will fighting him reveal the reason?"
"There's hope!" Cui Zhi's eyes lit up, and she assured him, "I never lie."
"Then let's go." Lian Han looked at Ning Jue. "Are you going to fight or not?"
What if I disagree?
"Then forget it," Lian Han said calmly. "But I'm the landlord, so at most you can't leave."
Ning Jue: ...He thought of the scene when he locked that girl up in his birthplace. Is this a case of the wheel of fortune turning?
Are you in a bad mood today?
"Oh no. I almost got into a fight with my best friend just now," Lian Han said calmly.
"What does that have to do with me?"
Lian Han raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to argue with me about the causal relationship between my bad mood and my targeting of you?"
Ning Jue, unconsciously recalling their argument from their last meeting, said, "...Then let's go. What kind of mecha?"
The next sentence is directed at Cui Zhi.
Without hesitation, Cui Zhi replied, "This is the first 3S mech I'm giving you."
Ning Jue was shocked. "Cui Xiaozhi, are you sure?"
"I'm sure. Don't change my name." Cui Zhi said with a dark face. "Lian Han, I have faith in you. As long as you can take him down, I'll give you all A's this year!"
Lian Han: ...Is that even possible? Although she inexplicably disliked Ning Jue today, she was still aware of Ning Jue's abilities.
Of the four, only Cui Zhi thought it was really possible. He had even activated the recording function of the AI, waiting to record General Ning's dark history.
Faced with her mentor's high expectations, Lian Han could only work even harder. She opened the smart brain and copied the backed-up virtual machine A perfectly.
Ning Jue looked at the mecha and was equally surprised. It had no weapons, and the mecha itself actually conformed to the proportions of a human body? It looked like a fully grown human being magnified dozens of times.
Thinking of Cui Zhi's attitude just now, Ning Jue also became more serious. After all, his own armor maker and frenemy was the only 3S armor maker, so his judgment couldn't be bad.
However, at the beginning of the game, Lian Han was completely suppressed by Ning Jue. The opponent was a 3S mecha, which was superior in both performance and firepower. It was only thanks to her sturdy turtle shell that she was not blown up.
But less than 5 minutes later, Lian Han felt that the attack power of the opposing mech had weakened. She glanced at the remaining energy of the mech and saw that the rate of energy depletion was indeed a little slower than before.
Lian Han blinked and immediately reacted, clenching his mecha fist and taking the hit head-on. Both mechas trembled, but Ning Jue's beautifully designed 3S mecha shook slightly and activated its energy shield, while Lian Han's next punch arrived, followed by another punch.
As she unleashed her fourth punch, the enemy's energy shield flickered and vanished, allowing Lian Han's fist to slam directly into the mech. A 3S mech was rendered useless just like that.
Ning Jue: ...
Lian Han: ...If she says she's just trying it out, will anyone believe her?
An He looked at the two who had landed, her expression indescribable. "Lian Han, I thought I knew your violence enough, but I didn't expect you could withstand this much?"
Cui Zhi stepped forward and patted Lian Han on the shoulder, "Excellent! No wonder you're my student. Now, any thoughts?"
"The 3S mech seems to consume energy faster than mine. Its attack has noticeably weakened in less than 5 minutes."
Ning Jue: "...How can you be sure it's because of insufficient energy, or because I did it on purpose?"
"You?" Lian Han sneered. "You probably thought you were bullying a kid and wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible. You wouldn't have had the time to set a trap for me."
Anhe: ...That's a general! So Xiaohan can actually handle more? Maybe she should just stay silent.
Cui Zhi's gaze swept between Lian Han and Ning Jue twice, then she smiled enigmatically and said, "This is the Federation's earliest 3S mech. It's powerful enough to sweep everything in its path. But when it encounters a strong opponent, its energy supply becomes insufficient. I studied it carefully before the mech energy converter came into being. You can look up the principles of that thing in a book yourselves. Lian Han, your mech is missing just that, plus a 3S energy core."
Lian Han: "...Isn't the mecha energy converter a standard feature of the 3S mecha?"
“Yes. I originally just wanted you to give it a try, but—” Cui Zhi paused for a moment, “I have to say, you aristocratic families are indeed rich and powerful, look at the materials you two used for this mecha, those materials are not bad even for a 3S mecha. In general, this monster mecha is still a basic mecha, but because of the material problem, it can barely beat a 3S mecha.”
Lian Han and An He exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. "Then can we start making it now?"
