Chapter 36 Club

Twenty days later.

Su Ming woke up early, did a few sets of push-ups and sit-ups, then took a shower, and hurried downstairs.

He came to the dining table and devoured his breakfast.

“Slow down, don’t choke.”

Zhao Ning looked at Su Ming eating so fast and reminded him worriedly.

“I’m full, I’m going to Teacher Tang’s house for extra lessons.”

Su Ming got up and ran out.

“Ah, be careful.”

Zhao Ning felt a little pained seeing Su Ming so diligent and serious. If it weren’t for the City Exam being imminent, she would have wanted to persuade him to rest a bit and not overwork himself.

On the wide street, Su Ming ran at a steady pace towards Teacher Tang Yan’s house. After this period of exercise, he felt his physical fitness getting better and better, and his weight had also decreased a bit.

Most importantly, under high-pressure tutoring, his grades were rapidly improving, and his knowledge reserves were also becoming richer.

Su Ming felt increasingly confident about the upcoming City Exam.

Soon after, Su Ming arrived at Teacher Tang Yan’s doorstep, the gate was open.

As he walked through the doorway, he heard Mink talking worriedly with Teacher Tang.

“Teacher, is there really no way to improve the auxiliary subjects?”

“Alas, Mink, I know your ideal, but one must learn to accept reality. Although you are excellent, your current situation is not enough to support you in pursuing your dream. On one hand, your comprehensive score is not enough, and your auxiliary subject scores are also not enough. Instead of being distracted, it’s better to focus on improving your comprehensive score, then you can still apply to a better academy.”

Tang Yan reached out and patted Mink’s shoulder, persuading him.

“Uh…”

Su Ming was slightly stunned when he heard their conversation, and immediately realized that he had forgotten about the auxiliary subjects. This was troublesome.

Mink and Tang Yan heard the movement, immediately stopped talking, and looked at Su Ming who had walked in.

“Su Ming, so early today?”

“Mm.”

Su Ming replied somewhat distractedly.

“The others haven’t arrived yet, have a seat first.”

Tang Yan instructed Su Ming.

Su Ming walked to a corner and sat down. He picked up his phone to search for where there were Mecha training pods in Thirteenth District, to see if he could find any relevant information.

As a result, he couldn’t find any relevant information.

Su Ming shook his head helplessly. It seemed he could only go home and ask his parents; perhaps they would have a way.

In the afternoon, 4:10 PM.

A taxi stopped at the doorstep, and Su Ming got out of the car.

As soon as he returned home, he saw Zhao Ning and Su Yuan walking arm in arm, about to go out.

“Father, Mother.”

Su Ming greeted them politely.

Seeing Su Ming return, Zhao Ning immediately released Su Yuan’s arm and walked forward, asking dotingly.

“You’re back, son. Was it hard today? Are you hungry? Aunt Hui is already preparing dinner.”

Su Ming looked at his doting Zhao Ning, feeling a little emotional in his heart. Those who are favored are always happy. He then showed a slight smile and replied.

“It’s not hard, after all, no matter how hard it is, it’s only for these few days.”

“My dear son, you’ve really grown up. Work hard and review. After the City Exam, I’ll take you to buy your favorite limited edition Mecha model!”

Su Yuan walked over, beaming with joy, praising him without reservation.

“Okay, Father, are you two going out?”

Su Ming brought the topic back and asked.

“The families of several missing employees from the company have arrived, we’re going to handle it and will be back later.”

Su Yuan briefly explained to Su Ming.

“Mm, Father, I need your help with something.”

Su Ming quickly said when he heard this.

“Tell me, son. As long as your dad can do it, it’s no big deal.”

“It’s like this, Father. The school is closed, and I have nowhere to train for the Mecha auxiliary subject. Do you have a way to buy one?”

“Uh, this…”

Su Yuan was momentarily speechless.

“Is it very expensive? Actually, renting one is fine too.”

Su Ming saw Su Yuan’s troubled expression and immediately asked, trying a less demanding option.

“It’s not about money; how much can a simulation training pod cost? The main thing is that this area is very strictly controlled and monopolized. And we don’t have the qualification to buy one, so it’s very difficult to get one on short notice.”

Su Yuan replied, his head aching.

Zhao Ning rolled her eyes at Su Yuan, then scolded him.

“I told you to be more ambitious normally. Now our son wants a simulation training machine, and you don’t even have one. If you had worked harder back then and been assigned to the military industry, wouldn’t you have the qualifications?”

“The military industry is all held by my brothers; how could it be my turn? Wife, you’re making things difficult for me.”

Su Yuan explained with a bitter face.

“If that’s the case, then there’s no way.”

Su Ming replied helplessly.

“Son, if you really want one, I’ll start preparing to get one for you right away.”

Su Yuan said very dotingly.

“How long will that take?”

Su Ming’s eyes lit up as he asked.

“One month, I guarantee I’ll get it in one month.”

Su Yuan guaranteed with a chuckle.

When Su Ming heard Su Yuan’s words, his mood instantly plummeted like a roller coaster, directly hitting rock bottom. He really wanted to complain that a month was too long; the yellow day lily would have long since withered by then.

“Alas!”

In fact, the reason Su Yuan needed so long to get one was mainly because he didn’t dare to call his family. He had caused the family to lose ten Second Generation Mecha, and now the entire family was about to explode. His uncles, elder brother, and elder sister were all furious.

Zhao Ning saw Su Ming sigh and quickly said to him.

“Good son, this training pod is really difficult to get. However, if you really want to practice, there’s a club in our Thirteenth District called Heavy Strike Club, and this club has Mecha training pods.”

“That’s right, how could I forget about this? This is the only club in the entire Thirteenth District that has them.”

Su Yuan suddenly realized.

“That’s great then, I’ll just go to this club to practice.”

Su Ming said, his eyes lighting up.

He silently calculated that Teacher Tang Yan’s lessons would basically end by four o’clock. As for Teacher Jiang Yu’s side, the earliest would be eight o’clock, so he could use the time difference to practice for a few hours.

“Son, we won’t talk to you anymore, your father and I need to leave quickly!”

Zhao Ning checked her watch and then said to Su Ming.

They needed to leave immediately and go to the company to handle things, to avoid any unexpected problems. They knew that the Old Federation had already dispatched personnel from the Tribunal.

“Okay, take care.”

Su Ming bid farewell to Zhao Ning and the others.

Then Zhao Ning and Su Yuan immediately left in a hurry.

Su Ming watched them leave, then picked up his phone to check the location of the Heavy Strike Club. He found that the club was located in the most prosperous entertainment district of Thirteenth District, which was quite a distance from him.

“Young Master, dinner is ready.”

Chen Hui walked over and said very respectfully.

“Aunt Hui, I won’t be eating dinner. I’m going to the Heavy Strike Club to train. If Mother and Father come back first, please tell them.”

Su Ming briefly instructed Chen Hui.
