The next day.
After getting up and washing up, Yan Hao used one point to buy a breakfast and at the same time paid back the two points he had bought on credit yesterday. After a simple meal, he went out with the leftover takeout, went downstairs to throw away the garbage, and went directly to the materials room.
As soon as the bearded man saw Yan Hao, he asked enthusiastically, "Have you made all the materials you received yesterday into energy blocks?"
"It's all done." Yan Hao nodded with a smile.
"Then give it to me, I'll test its performance." The bearded man stretched out his hand towards Yan Hao.
"Well... I'm not here to exchange materials." Yan Hao said.
"Not changing? Then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to buy materials. I checked on the base's intranet last night. How many points are needed to purchase materials for level 6 energy blocks? One point can buy two." Yan Hao said.
One level 6 energy block can be used to offset one day's rent, which is equivalent to three credits according to the production level of most students. The exchange ratio of exchanging energy blocks for materials is 1:3, while the exchange ratio of purchasing with credits is 1:6. The latter is obviously more cost-effective than the former.
In addition, there is also the bonus of high-efficiency energy blocks. In the material room, a 77% efficient energy block can only be exchanged for four materials, but the price online can reach as much as 50 points. This exchange ratio is obviously much more outrageous. Yan Hao thinks that the internal setting of the base must be that they know that the mecha manufacturers will not bring high-efficiency energy blocks here for exchange, so they simply don't bother to formulate a detailed exchange ratio.
Yan Hao's guess was indeed correct. The mecha manufacturers in the base all purchased materials through points. The material exchange was specially prepared for those who arrived at the base for the first time and had no points.
When the bearded man heard that Yan Hao wanted to use points to buy it, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You have points?"
"Well, I sold three energy blocks online yesterday." Yan Hao did not hide it.
"You look honest, but I didn't expect you to be such a shrewd guy. You figured out the routine of our base in just one night, making it impossible for us to trick you." The bearded man laughed.
"..." You guys are so blatantly saying you want to cheat me, is it really okay? But it's much better than those colleagues in my previous life who spoke politely on the surface but secretly cheated me of my experimental results.
"How many points did you earn?" the bearded man asked casually.
Yan Hao was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that Sheng Heng had once warned him that if he didn't tell the person he really trusted, he should only tell half of what he wanted to say and not reveal everything.
"180 points." Half of 360 points is 180.
The bearded man secretly calculated and found out the efficiency range of the energy blocks sold by Yan Hao.
"How many sets of materials do you plan to buy?" the bearded man asked Yan Hao.
"One hundred copies." One hundred copies only cost fifty points, which was not expensive for Yan Hao.
"So many?" The bearded man reminded, "Although it's cheaper to buy materials with points, it's still more expensive than outside. You're only here for seven days to take the assessment, and you'll be back to the capital star after seven days. It's not worth spending so much."
"I know, I plan to finish making all of these here." Yan Hao said.
"So you plan to do nothing for the next seven days and just make energy blocks?" asked the bearded man.
Yan Hao smiled and said nothing.
After the bearded man mentioned this, he saw that Yan Hao still insisted, so he did not persuade him any more. Although the material cost here is more expensive than outside, it is a small matter for Yan Hao who can make high-efficiency energy blocks. Moreover, students of the Federal University should come here for internships frequently in the future, so it is not wrong to earn more points.
Because Yan Hao wanted a lot, the bearded man took Yan Hao directly to the warehouse, counted out a hundred copies and let him take them away.
Yan Hao thanked him and took the materials to the maintenance room assigned to him at the base.
Not long after he left, his bearded colleague came over happily with an energy block in his hand.
"What good thing happened to you that makes you so happy?" the bearded man asked his colleague.
The colleague put the energy block in front of the bearded man and said, "You should pay me back for the dinner yesterday."
"What do you mean?" The bearded man was puzzled.
"I just went to the dormitory to recycle the energy blocks they use to pay the rent. This one belongs to Yan Hao. You test it." Every student who comes to the base for internship and assessment will be registered. The two of them checked the list and knew Yan Hao's name.
The bearded man took the test instrument and tested it: [Level 6 energy block, efficiency 82.36%. ]
"Wow, this guy actually lied to me." The bearded man exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" The colleague was puzzled.
"He told me that he only sold the three energy blocks for 180 credits yesterday." The bearded man scolded with a smile, "He looked so well behaved, but I didn't expect him to be such a liar."
"Even in our base, there are only five people who can make a master-level level six energy block of this quality," said a colleague.
"Do you want to recruit him into the team?" The bearded man glared at him.
"I think it's you who wants to take it. Otherwise, as a level six mecha maker, why would you sit here and distribute materials for nothing?" a colleague scolded with a smile.
"Let's observe further." The bearded man murmured.
After Yan Hao received the materials, he sat obediently in the maintenance room to make energy blocks. For the entire morning, he was the only one in the maintenance room. None of the other students from the Mecha Manufacturing Department who came to the base at the same time as him showed up.
After lunch, some people came to the maintenance room one after another, but they just came and looked around for a while and then left. No one stayed in the maintenance room for more than half an hour.
Yan Hao didn't know them in the first place, and he was very focused when doing things, so he didn't care whether there were people in the maintenance room or not, he just sat there seriously doing his own things. When the eighth energy block was completed, a voice suddenly sounded above his head.
"Why don't you test the performance?"
Yan Hao looked up and saw a familiar smiling face. It was Xu Peng, the person in charge of receiving them for this assessment.
"Senior." Yan Hao stood up quickly.
"Sit down." Xu Peng glanced at the four energy blocks in Yan Hao's hand and asked, "You've done so much, and you're here so early?"
"Yes, I came here after breakfast." Yan Hao nodded.
To enter the maintenance room, you need to be authorized by the terminal, so Xu Peng can clearly know the time when each person enters the maintenance room. About half an hour ago, he finished his work and checked the access rights of the maintenance room. He found that Yan Hao had entered at seven o'clock in the morning and had not come out since then, so he came to take a look.
"Why don't you go out for a walk?" Xupeng asked.
"I'm not familiar with this place." Yan Hao said.
"Your classmates are all there, you can go with them."
"No." Yan Hao shook his head, "I still want to stay in the maintenance room."
"Why?"
"I'll stay here. If my partner comes back, he'll be able to find me immediately." Yan Hao said.
Xu Peng's eyes lit up and he continued, "Like I said, there were very few damaged mechas in the first two days."
"Few, but that doesn't mean none at all." Yan Hao said, "I'm here to repair the mecha, so I should have stayed here. If you put yourself in my shoes, if I was fighting outside and my mecha was broken, and I couldn't find the mecha maker right away when I came back, that would definitely not be a good feeling."
"The base is not big. They will contact you by message when they come back. It will only take them a dozen minutes to get back." Xu Peng said.
"This is not a team anymore." Yan Hao said.
Xupeng was puzzled.
"My good friend once said that mecha warriors fight on the battlefield to guard the peace of the Federation, and the only ones who can protect mecha warriors are mecha manufacturers. When I came here, the teacher asked us to form a team. Since it is a team, when they are on the battlefield, I should also be on the battlefield, even though our battlefields are different." Yan Hao expressed his understanding.
"You're right, keep going." Xu Peng patted Yan Hao's shoulder with satisfaction, turned around and left the mecha maintenance room. After leaving the room, he gave the first score to the mecha manufacturing students who came for the assessment on his assessment form.
Except for Yan Hao who got a perfect score of 10, the others got 3 points and 0 points respectively. The 3 points were for students who had been to the maintenance room in the afternoon, and the 0 points were for students who had not been in the maintenance room at all.
Yan Hao stayed in the maintenance room until 10 pm before returning to the dormitory. He also asked Qin Hu to come over for another transaction. During the whole day, Yan Hao made a total of 10 energy blocks, and he gave 6 to Qin Hu.
"You made six blocks in one day. Your production speed is really fast." Qin Hu praised and transferred the points of eight energy blocks to Yan Hao.
"Thank you." Yan Hao thanked him.
"If there are any left tomorrow, I would like to buy some more." Qin Hu said.
"Isn't nine dollars enough for you, senior?"
"It's always a good idea to store more master-level energy blocks." Qin Hu said.
"No problem, I can sell you six bucks a day."
"Then sell them all to me."
"But isn't your mission the day after tomorrow?" Yan Hao had originally planned to look for other buyers in the evening.
"I can give you the points first, and then I'll come back from you to get them when I come back from the mission." Qin Hu said.
"I will be returning to the Federal University after my assessment is completed."
"It's okay. Our team takes turns to rest. Other team members will be back in a few days. It's the same if I ask him to come and get it." Qin Hu said.
"Okay then." Since he could sell it to one person at a time, he was too lazy to go out and find another buyer.
Qin Hu was overjoyed: "I don't have enough points here. I'll go back and ask the captain for some and call you later."
Yan Hao agreed, and Qin Hu left. About half an hour later, Yan Hao received a huge transfer of several cents.
Hearing the notification sound of points being credited, Yan Hao opened his computer and took a look. At a glance, he found something wrong. There seemed to be a few more points in his account.
One hundred and twenty-three more points.
Yan Hao's calculation ability was so strong that his brain had already figured it out the moment he realized that he had extra points. He immediately clicked on the details to check his points deposit details, and there was an additional points transfer detail.
Your team member Sheng Heng transferred 123 points.
Were the points transferred to him by the senior? The senior must be worried that he would not have points to use at the base.
This transfer was made ten minutes ago, so the senior should be resting at this time. Yan Hao thought about it and sent a message to Sheng Heng: [Senior, I have enough points to spend, please be careful outside and don't rush to kill the Zerg. ]
Yan Hao was worried that Sheng Heng would take the risk to kill more Zerg because their team had the fewest people and insufficient points.
In a camp somewhere on the No. 3 desolate planet, Sheng Heng saw Yan Hao's message and immediately understood what Yan Hao meant. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and replied: [I know.]
"Have you read the notice? At twelve o'clock the teacher will grade our first day's assessment results."
"How will we grade on the first day?" asked someone who had not had time to read the notice.
"It's based on points. There are two rankings in total, one for the total team points, and one for individual points. This ranking will be updated in real time over the next seven days until the end of the assessment."
"Teacher, this is too mean. Isn't this forcing us to kill insects to death?"
"It's okay. We won't be the last one anyway."
In an instant, Sheng Heng felt several eyes falling on him.
During the daytime operation, they set out in teams, so except for Cheng Wenkang, no one else had ever seen Sheng Heng fight. Sheng Heng had a hand injury, and Yan Hao was a freshman. Even if Cheng Wenkang was still capable, he couldn't carry two people who were dragging their feet, so in their minds, the last one was undoubtedly Sheng Heng's group.
Sheng Heng didn't react to the ambiguous looks from the crowd, but Cheng Wenkang was not happy: "Why are you looking at us? Do you know how many Zerg we have killed?"
"How many did you kill?" someone asked curiously.
"You'll know at twelve o'clock." Cheng Wenkang laughed, waiting to see them get slapped in the face. The boss was killing like crazy today, and none of the Zerg they encountered escaped.
The others grunted, but were all looking forward to the list at twelve o'clock.
Soon, twelve o'clock arrived, and those who were waiting to see the rankings immediately opened their light computers.
"Oh shit, is there a system bug?" someone shouted.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked over.
"See for yourself." The man simply projected the rankings. There were two lists in total, side by side. The first place was listed in bold gold font, shining brightly in the dark night. Yan Hao's name was in front of the overall score list, and Sheng Heng's name was in front of the individual score list.
"The total team score is 5518, which is more than 5,000 points more than the second place. How is this possible? And it's Sheng Heng's team."
"What do you mean?" Although Cheng Wenkang was also surprised by the ridiculously high score, he still asked back subconsciously.
"Can't you see it yourself? Sheng Heng's points are 123, your points are 50, which add up to only 170. Where did these 5345 points come from?" the man asked.
"Is there a mecha maker?" Sheng Heng asked.
"What can I do to earn so many points?"
"That's right. The total points of all the rest of us are not as high as your group's points. There must be a bug." On the first day of the assessment, everyone was still in the exploration stage, so the individual points of the mecha department were basically within 100. Sheng Heng was the only one with more than 100. There were 50 of them in total, and even if no one scored 100, it would only be 5,000.
"Ask the teacher."
As he was talking, someone sent a message to the teacher, and then a line of red bold font appeared below the list: [The values have been verified to be correct. The mecha maker in Yan Hao's team earned 5345 points.]
“…”
“…………”
How can we compare with such numbers? These numbers are simply despairing.
Sheng Heng's mood at this time was not much better than that of other classmates. It turned out that the junior brother never lied and he really had no shortage of money.
