Chapter 28: This is clearly my highlight!

Day six of military training.

News of the match between Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan had spread throughout the school and there was even a betting game on who the winner would be tomorrow.

Xie Ruhang was not favoured in this game, most people did not know that Xie Ruhang was a 'rat', they only knew that Xie Ruhang came from the slums and had no systematic knowledge of the mecha system.

Assembling a mech is a test of deep knowledge, a complete body of knowledge, and a great ability to assemble.

There were more than 97,000 mech parts available for the competition, all of which were parts for small, lightweight combat mechs.

If you simply complete the military training, it is not too difficult because the basic mechs only require about 300 parts and the assembly of the basic mechs is a knowledge point in the entrance examination, and the high school assessment requires students to be proficient in assembling, repairing and caring for the basic mechs.

But the match between Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan was not only about assembling mechs, it also required a confrontation with the assembled mechs.

This means that it is unlikely that the two will be able to assemble only the basic mech.

The impact of a mech on a mech operator is immense, and the difference between a special customised mech and a basic mech is uncanny, which is why master mech builders and weapon builders are so highly sought after.

A master mech builder is someone who has made a mark in mech building, whereas a master weapons builder is more respected than a master mech builder because a master weapons builder specialises in more than just mechs.

A nobleman like Gu Tunan had access to many excellent mech masters who could tailor his mech to his personal fighting habits, and with the master's design drawings to assemble the mech, he was ahead of Xie Ruhang from the start.

Xie Ruhang had never even attended military high school, and with a knowledge base of at most a thousand parts and a few basic mecha systems, it was hard to compete with Gu Tunan, who had access to superior resources.

The vast majority of people, including Qiu Yan, therefore considered Xie Ruhang's chances of winning the bet to be very low.

Qiu Yan's heart sank as he watched Xie Ruhang, who had been up all night in his dormitory practising his basic defence mecha.

Brother Xie is not well grounded and has only recently mastered the five basic mini mechs, probably chose the defensive basic mechs because they require the least number of parts and steps ......

How can such a basic mech be better than Gu Tunan?

It would have been nice if it had been a mere combat match, but Brother Xie knew better than anyone how battle-minded he was as Brother Xie's rookie roommate.

If Brother Xie and Gu Tunan lost their first encounter, this defeat would be a major demerit when they canvassed for Brother Xie in the future. mech drawing."

Every mech operator's mech drawing is an incomparably private and precious existence, especially for civilian students, where a single mech design drawing can cost their families most of their savings.

Qiu Yan gritted his teeth and shouted with a burst of energy, "Why don't Brother Xie you use my mech drawings!"

Xie Ruhang looked back at Qiu Yan with a slightly surprised look, his dark phoenix eyes reflecting the warm light, and for a moment Qiu Yan felt that this was the time when Brother Xie was really looking at him: "No, I appreciate your kindness."

"So, so Brother Xie your game ......"

The dark-haired, dark-eyed alpha said calmly, "I will not lose."

*

Tang Bai and his little sister sat in the audience seats, watching the Mecha Department's mecha assembly test that was about to begin.

The cheerleaders are only out on the first and last days of military training, so today they are wearing their regular uniforms.

Many alpha's in the audience were sneaking a peek at Tang Bai, not only because of his face but also because of his outfit today ......

The words "Brother Xie" are affixed to the left side of the face and the words "BIG WIN" are affixed to the right side of the face in eye-catching red lettering.

The pretty little omega was looking worriedly at the examination site, forgetting to wave the little flag in her hand.

"Baby, isn't that too much, if Xie Ruhang loses later, you'll get hit in the face?" As soon as Tong Meng said that, Tang Bai gave her a hard stare, "Brother Xie won't lose!"

Tong Meng quickly raised his hands in surrender, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry ......" he begged and looked at the test site and couldn't help but say, " Gu Tunan's mechs look so awesome. "

Gu Tunan's mechs were indeed the most eye-catching in the room, not to mention the cool shape of the prototype, the streamlined appearance, the sophisticated equipment, and the cumbersome parts layered together in a dazzling array.

Pop-ups are discussing.

[A mech with a dirt-cheap configuration, dad, is your mech still missing the leg pendant?

[Is this the hand speed of being single for 20 years?! Loved loved loved!

[Gu Tunan is really fast and steady, especially in rebuilding the mecha system, although the original system provided already has the general framework, he is faster than other students assembling the basic model of mecha! It's like when everyone is doing maths, a student can do higher maths faster than you can do primary school maths!

[Yes, much faster than some people who do defensive basic mechs]

There are forty light screens in the live stream, and it so happens that Gu Tunan's and Xie Ruhang's light screens are side by side, with Gu Tunan's high end, high class mech on the left and Xie Ruhang's unassuming basic mech on the right.

And the positions of their live examinations are so close together that they can see each other's progress as soon as they turn their heads.

Gu Tunan looks over at Xie Ruhang, his grey-blue eyes narrowing slightly.

This is the same alpha who shamelessly approached Tang Bai time and again and fooled her by some unknown means.

But no matter how much Xie Ruhang pretended, he couldn't pretend with his knowledge and resources. Without a systematic study of mech manufacturing, without drawings designed by top mech builders themselves, what could Xie Ruhang do to beat him?

The dark-haired, dark-eyed alpha's eyelids fluttered as he reached up to rub his thick eyelashes, his scarred hands exposed to the camera.

Xie Ruhang's gloves had long since been removed in order to assemble the mech. The live ball surrounding Xie Ruhang was only a close-up of Shengshi's face, not Xie Ruhang's hands, so the pop-ups were startled when a close-up of the hands appeared:

[How did Xie Ruhang's hand get hurt like this? Wasn't it treated properly when he was injured?

[Cold knowledge, Xie Ruhang from the slums]

[Is he from the slums? It's over, the male filter is broken and I'm cracking up!

[Xie Ruhang has given up the struggle, right? What's the point of choosing a defensive mecha, to be a shrinking violet?

[I shouldn't have bet on him because of Face Dog, my month's pocket money]

Tang Bai was so angry when he saw the pop-ups that took Xie Ruhang's fans off when they found out that he was from a slum background, that his hair exploded.

What a fickle intergalacticist! At the very beginning there was all this talk about having a baby for the right leader! Get out of here! I'll give Brother Xie a baby if you don't have one now! No, Brother Xie can have a baby himself ...... Eh no no no Brother Xie why would you want to have a baby for alpha?

Tang Bai was about to get confused when he heard a commotion from the examination site -

Gu Tunan finished the last part of his mech with aplomb and as soon as it was finished, the tester in front of the production table gave him a high score.

Currently counting towards the total of eight hundred and forty-six steps!

Excellent stability!

System vulnerability none!

Functional attributes.

Defence: 8

Strength: 9

Agility: 9

Endurance: 7

Spirit: 8

The outstanding attribute points were displayed simultaneously on the big screen, and the cadets who were assembling their mechs put down their work and looked enviously at the two attribute points of nine and Gu Tunan.

The black uniform of Gu Tunan's uniform was meticulously drawn on his tall body and his grey-blue eyes were a mixture of aplomb and innate arrogance, with numerous admiring glances directed at him, but Gu Tunan looked away from Tang Bai in the audience.

The image of Tang Bai standing in the stands during the entrance ceremony flashed through his mind.

The slender, beautiful omega is propped loosely on the railing with one hand, the other loosely holding a diamond-encrusted trumpet as he gazes out at Qin Jun, who has a naturally lazy, sweet cat-like aura, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye.

It was then that Gu Tunan hoped Tang Bai would look back at him.

Now he can finally fulfil the wish he had at the time -

The little omega on the audience stage had "Brother Xie" on its left face and "Sure Win" on its right face, waving the little flag to Xie Ruhang as if it were a fortune cat. The little red flags seemed to turn into a sea of green, floating in Gu Tunan's heart.

Gu Tunan: "......?!"

This is clearly my highlight reel! Why are you looking at my losers?!

Gu Tunan is not convinced!

Gu Tunan turn your head!

Gu Tunan Look out of the corner of your eye!

The dark-haired, dark-eyed alpha was focused on assembling his own mech, which he did not do fast enough for onlookers to see in a hurry, but he himself did not hurry and did it step by step.

His dark hair fell in front of his forehead, and the classic combination of white shirt and black uniform accentuated his cool demeanour, although he was at a disadvantage, his body, from the strands of his hair to his shiny military boots, had an aura of maleness added to it.

Blinded by Gu Tunan's eyes.

Gu Tunan who seems to have figured something out: "......" Am I not handsome enough?

Tang Bai watched with rapt attention as Xie Ruhang assembled the mech, wishing he could have been there to do it himself. When he saw that Xie Ruhang had finished building all the important frames, he let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed a little, Tang Bai casually looked at the other students in the examination.

Then he saw Gu Tunan looking unblinkingly at Xie Ruhang, his grey-blue eyes resembling a whirlpool in the deep sea, with a myriad of emotions swirling in them, as if Gu Tunan was so captivated by Xie Ruhang's aura of protagonism that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Tang Bai: "......"

Ha! I knew you'd be drawn to Brother Xie's unhurried and unafraid aura!

At that moment, Tang Bai's mind conjured up countless ways to break up the cp, and he looked warily at Gu Tunan and then at Xie Ruhang, realising that it was Gu Tunan's single arrow any way he looked at it, before his nervous dull hair eased down.

No, I must find a way to break them up!

Tang Bai's eyes showed the resolute determination of a battering ram -

Don't fall in love with a dog alpha! It's better to be in business!

The fierce little eyes of the fist-pumping Tang Bai quickly softened when she looked at the clueless Xie Ruhang, and a motherly love as vast as the sea emerged in her eyes...

When the cause is finished, by then bsp; Tang Bai, a passionate brainiac, scanned the pop-ups at random in his busy schedule:.

[Eh wait, I just zoomed in on the screenshot and counted it, look, did Xie Ruhang get the wrong part? I don't remember needing this kind of part for the basic defensive mecha.

[Damn, Xie Ruhang really picked the wrong one! I'm dying for him to react!

Tang Bai's head snapped up and her amber eyes looked nervously at Xie Ruhang.

Xie Ruhang is still standing at the console with a calm face, unperturbed by Gu Tunan, who is the first to complete the assembly.

With his phoenix eyes slightly downcast, Xie Ruhang nestled the energy tank into the mech, completing the first eight hundred and forty-five steps of the assembly, just one more step before the defensive mech in his hands would take shape.

He scanned the measurement board set up in front of the production table.

Currently counting towards the total of eight hundred and forty-five steps!

Excellent stability!

Xie Ruhang took his eyes back and picked up the last part. He took a deep breath and his long, strong fingers steadily placed the last main part into the mech.

As soon as the last gap in the mech was filled, the data in the measurement column on the production table suddenly went awry and in the next second, all the data on it was refreshed:.
