Chapter 372: Little Puppy (5-in-1)
by SunflowerTime passed bit by bit.
Su Ming leaned on the railing, looking at the people training, a thoughtful expression on his face.
He noticed that basically, the pilots of Biological Mecha were all New Humans, and more or less had some unusual characteristics.
“Ding ding~!”
At this moment, the bell in the training hangar rang, and in a blink of an eye, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
A man in a General’s military uniform, with a hooked nose, cold eyes, and an expressionless face, announced hoarsely.
“Training ends here!”
Click!
The eyes of the activated Biological Mecha dimmed, and their tightly closed cockpits opened.
Lin Chuyu and other pilots slowly floated down, landing lightly.
“Chu Yu, let’s go, time to change!”
An Ruoxue walked up to Lin Chuyu with sexy steps and said with a smile.
“Mm!”
Lin Chuyu nodded slightly, and the two walked together towards the changing room.
Seeing that Lin Chuyu and the others had finished training, Su Ming turned and left the observation area, walking towards the exit passage, preparing to wait for Lin Chuyu there.
Inside the changing room.
Lin Chuyu slowly took off her tight training uniform, put on a white floral dress, and let down her pinned-up hair.
At this moment, An Ruoxue, who had changed into a sky-blue dress, walked over with her hands behind her back and said with a smile to Lin Chuyu.
“Chu Yu, how about we go shopping at Worlds Eye · Maple Leaf Street? I heard many new stores have opened there.”
“No, I have a date tonight, you go by yourself.”
Lin Chuyu shook her head and said to An Ruoxue.
“A date? Who are you dating?”
An Ruoxue was very surprised to hear Lin Chuyu’s words.
“Su Ming.”
“Oh, you! You prioritize your lover over your friend, you actually secretly hid it from me again.”
“No, he only messaged me tonight.”
“Sigh, I really envy you! To have someone who would hang himself for you, strive to get into Royal Court Academy for you, and even chase you all the way here from thousands of miles away, it’s simply too romantic. If it were me, I would have given in a long time ago.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not what you think. I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m leaving!”
After Lin Chuyu finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
“Don’t go, wait for me, I’ll go with you!”
An Ruoxue quickly chased after her.
In the metal corridor.
Su Ming leaned against the metal wall, waiting, as members of the special operations department walked past him one by one.
At this moment, he saw Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue walking out from afar, chatting and laughing.
Su Ming then walked towards the two of them.
Just then, a burly man with slightly reddish skin, a rugged face, solid muscles all over his body, and dressed in a Major General’s military uniform, walked straight up to Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue, accompanied by two subordinates in Major’s military uniforms, holding bouquets of bright red roses.
Tigerdo gracefully placed his left hand on his chest, knelt on one knee, snapped his right fingers, then took the flowers, and said very sincerely.
“Chu Yu, can you give me some time? I have something to tell you.”
Lin Chuyu frowned immediately, looking at Tigerdo blocking her way, and replied with a very cold expression.
“Sorry, I have a date tonight, I don’t have time.”
“A date? With whom?”
Tigerdo was stunned for a moment and asked nervously.
“That’s none of your business.”
Lin Chuyu replied very coldly.
“Then can you give me some time, just a little bit.”
Tigerdo said unwillingly.
At this moment, Su Ming walked over and asked curiously.
“What are you doing? Is this your friend?”
“No, just an officer.”
Lin Chuyu explained to Su Ming.
At this time, An Ruoxue walked behind Su Ming, poked him with her elbow, and playfully whispered a reminder.
“This is your love rival.”
“Oh, I see. You guys continue, I’ll wait on the side.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
An Ruoxue was surprised to hear Su Ming’s words and quickly reminded him.
“Hey, he’s here to steal your girl!”
“It’s fine, for the sake of fairness, let him finish what he has to say.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
At this moment, Tigerdo also stared at Su Ming warily, a very bad premonition lingering in his heart, and he asked.
“Kid, are you Su Ming?”
“Yes.”
Su Ming admitted openly.
“So it’s you!”
Tigerdo was instantly furious and said angrily.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu stood in front of Su Ming and said to Tigerdo with a very cold expression.
“Tigerdo, I’ve already told you very clearly, I don’t like you, please stop pestering me.”
After listening to Lin Chuyu’s words, Tigerdo turned his head to look at Su Ming again, then suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the metal wall beside him.
This scene also startled everyone, as they thought Tigerdo was going to hit someone.
“General!”
The two subordinates behind Tigerdo also walked forward worriedly.
At this moment, Tigerdo raised his hand to stop his subordinates from coming forward, sighed dejectedly, and said.
“Sigh~ Sure enough, I still lost because of my damned good looks, you damned little puppy!”
When Su Ming heard Tigerdo’s words, the smile on his face instantly froze. What’s going on? He actually became a little puppy? Isn’t this too insulting?
At this moment, one of the subordinates standing behind Tigerdo asked in confusion.
“Brother, you can’t give up, besides being good-looking, what does this kid have that’s better than you?”
“Wu Li, you don’t understand, Big Brother is a Major General. If I use my position to deal with this kid, it’s called abusing power. If I use my strength, that’s bullying the weak. How could Big Brother do such a thing?”
The other subordinate also explained helplessly.
“I see.”
Wu Li suddenly realized.
When Su Ming heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. What the hell?
Lin Chuyu’s expression became even colder, and she walked beside Su Ming and whispered.
“Su Ming, let’s go, don’t bother with them.”
“Alright.”
Su Ming and Lin Chuyu then walked out.
Tigerdo watched Lin Chuyu’s departing back, raised his hand to cover his chest, and sighed.
“Sigh! Oh, heavens!”
At the exit of the Special Operations Department.
An Ruoxue, linking arms with Lin Chuyu, walked out with a teasing smile, mocking Su Ming.
“I’m really dying of laughter, you actually became a little puppy. But then again, this title really suits you, your looks are enough to make a living. Su Ming, if I hire you for a month, how much would it cost?”
“Stop messing around.”
Su Ming replied with a helpless expression.
“Haha~”
An Ruoxue laughed even happier when she saw Su Ming’s helpless expression.
At this moment, a large group of people suddenly walked towards them.
Leading them was a handsome blond man in a Colonel’s military uniform, holding a bouquet of phalaenopsis orchids.
“Not again, really?”
Su Ming said with a somewhat strange expression.
As it turned out, the blond man in front of them walked directly up to An Ruoxue and held up the flowers in his hand.
“Ruoxue! Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me tonight?”
Su Ming heard the man’s words and immediately realized that he was looking for An Ruoxue.
He then winked at An Ruoxue, signaling her, why wasn’t she going already?
An Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Su Ming, then lowered her voice and said to Lin Chuyu.
“Su Ming, let me borrow him.”
Before Lin Chuyu could react, An Ruoxue directly reached out and hooked Su Ming’s arm, saying.
“Lin Yu, stop bothering me, this is my boyfriend!”
Su Ming also froze, looking at An Ruoxue, questioning her with his eyes, when did he become her boyfriend?
An Ruoxue then looked at Su Ming pitifully, as if asking for help.
“No!”
Lin Yu, upon hearing An Ruoxue’s words, angrily threw the flowers on the ground.
Then he glared fiercely at Su Ming and yelled frantically at him.
“Pretty boy, I want to duel you!”
Su Ming’s mouth twitched continuously when he heard Lin Yu’s words.
“Don’t mind them, let’s go!”
An Ruoxue directly pulled Su Ming and Lin Chuyu away.
At this moment, Lin Yu behind them also pointed at Su Ming and shouted.
“Coward, you don’t even dare to have a duel between men, what makes him better than me?”
At this time, Su Ming stopped after hearing that.
An Ruoxue, who was beside him, also tugged at Su Ming’s arm and said.
“Come on, why bother with that fool?”
However, at this moment, Su Ming did not respond to An Ruoxue, but instead looked directly at Lin Yu.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue also felt a bad premonition and couldn’t help but frown.
Su Ming took a deep breath and slowly said.
“I’m fairer than you.”
“…”
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Haha! Let’s go!”
An Ruoxue was the first to react, pulling Su Ming and running away quickly.
After they had walked a good distance, Su Ming said helplessly.
“Can you let go now?”
“Okay, thanks!”
An Ruoxue gave a brilliant smile and replied playfully.
“I didn’t expect you two to be so popular.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
“What popular, this is harassment, it’s almost driving me crazy! We’ve already clearly refused, but these people act like they don’t understand human language, pestering us constantly, and some even rely on their high status to constantly hint at us, wanting to use their influence! If it weren’t for General Ames protecting us, we’d be in trouble.”
An Ruoxue looked pitiful.
“Ruoxue is right.”
Lin Chuyu nodded slightly in agreement.
“General Ames? Who is he?”
Su Ming asked somewhat confused.
“He was the chief examiner during our City Exam, and he was also the one who specially recruited me exceptionally.”
Lin Chuyu introduced to Su Ming.
“Oh, I remember now, so it’s him. I remember when I was complained about by Li Fubai during the City Exam, both of us were punished, this person is quite fair.”
Su Ming had a good impression of General Ames, after all, for someone like Zhang Tai, who is rich and powerful, to win the black and red lottery, is enough to explain everything.
“Yes, he is very fair, and has high prestige in the military.”
Lin Chuyu nodded in reply.
“Let’s not talk about these anymore. Being delayed by those two groups of fools, it’s almost nine o’clock now, let’s quickly take the Star Rail train to Worlds Eye.”
An Ruoxue suggested to the two.
“Uh, why go there?”
Su Ming didn’t really want to go to Worlds Eye.
“Of course for a late-night snack! It’s not easy for the three of us to gather together, we must have a meal together, right?”
An Ruoxue said with a beaming smile.
“How about we still go there.”
Lin Chuyu looked at Su Ming and said.
“That works too.”
Su Ming was not someone who spoils the fun.
The three then left the special operations department and hurried to the nearby Star Rail station.
More than an hour later.
Su Ming and the two walked out of the Star Rail station exit, and they walked towards the Star Wall.
Soon, they took the elevator and arrived at the observation deck of the Star Wall.
The vast starry sky immediately came into view.
“Wow, so beautiful! Chu Yu, how did you know about this place?”
An Ruoxue looked up at the starry sky and exclaimed.
“I also found it by chance while taking a walk. I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?”
Lin Chuyu looked at the two and said.
“Tell us.”
Su Ming asked curiously.
“How about we split up to buy food and drinks, then meet back here? We can enjoy the starry sky and night view while eating.”
Lin Chuyu suggested with a smile.
“Great!”
Su Ming thought this was quite good and very interesting.
“Then let’s get going quickly, and no communicating, buy whatever you want!”
An Ruoxue winked at the two and said.
“Okay.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
The three then split up to buy things.
About twenty minutes later, Su Ming and the two returned to the Star Wall, each carrying a large bag of items.
“Look what I bought.”
An Ruoxue opened her bag and took out several bottles of colorful cocktails, a large portion of braised dried meat, and three roasted pig trotters.
“Not bad, I bought some too.”
Lin Chuyu took out a fragrant roasted chicken, a box of peanuts, and five cans of chilled beer.
“Chu Yu, you actually bought peanuts, you’re really generous!”
An Ruoxue looked at Lin Chuyu with a half-smile.
This box of peanuts would cost at least one-tenth of Lin Chuyu’s monthly salary.
“It’s alright, just a little splurge occasionally.”
Lin Chuyu smiled and replied.
Next, An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming and asked curiously.
“Su Ming, what did you buy? Your bag is so bulging?”
“Just some fruit, I don’t know what you guys like to eat, so I just bought a random selection.”
Su Ming said, taking out a box of strawberries, washed grapes, and a watermelon from the bag.
“Wow, fruit! Su Ming, have you made a fortune recently? You’re buying such expensive fruit. I haven’t had fruit in years!”
An Ruoxue said, full of pleasant surprise.
Although the prices in Worlds Eye were relatively low, fruits were still a luxury.
Lin Chuyu was also surprised and said to Su Ming, “Won’t that be too much of an expense for you?”
“It’s fine, it’s rare for everyone to gather together,” Su Ming replied indifferently.
“Then I won’t be polite. Wow! It’s so delicious!” An Ruoxue reached out, picked up a strawberry, opened her cherry-like small mouth, took a small bite, and said blissfully.
“Chu Yu, you try some too.”
Su Ming picked up a strawberry and handed it to Chu Yu.
“Thank you.”
Lin Chuyu reached out and took it.
“I’ll try the grapes.”
An Ruoxue raised her hand and reached for the grapes.
Just then, a small paw also reached for the grapes. An Ruoxue was stunned for a moment and looked down.
Little Grey also looked up, opening its big, innocent eyes to An Ruoxue.
“Ah~”
An Ruoxue was startled.
“It’s okay, it’s Little Grey,” Lin Chuyu said with a smile, reaching out to pick up Little Grey.
An Ruoxue immediately came to her senses, looked closely at Little Grey, and then asked, “Su Ming, is this your pet?”
“Yes,” Su Ming said, picking up an iced beer, opening it, and handing a can to each of them.
“It’s quite cute.”
An Ruoxue looked closely at Little Grey, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she reached out to stroke its small head.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu, holding Little Grey, looked at Su Ming and asked, “Su Ming, did you look for me today because you had something to discuss?”
“Not really, just to get together and ask a few things,” Su Ming replied, picking up his chopsticks and picking up a peanut.
“Mm, go ahead and ask!” Lin Chuyu replied softly.
“I heard that your special operations department is going to transport a batch of Biological Mecha recently?” Su Ming asked frankly.
Before Lin Chuyu could answer, An Ruoxue exclaimed in surprise, “How did you know? This matter is top secret in our department.”
“Right?” Lin Chuyu was also very surprised.
“Cough, cough, I found out by chance.” Su Ming found it hard to explain the source of the information.
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue exchanged glances. They tacitly did not press for the source of the information, only asking, “Su Ming, why are you suddenly interested in Biological Mecha?”
“It’s like this, pure Mechanical Mecha feel a bit rigid and have too many limitations. I heard that Biological Mecha are not only superior in performance but also have strong explosiveness, right? So I thought of trying Biological Mecha,” Su Ming explained to them.
After listening to Su Ming’s words, Lin Chuyu said to him very seriously, “Su Ming, I know you used Biological Mecha during the Three School League, but that was virtual after all, and wouldn’t harm your body. But reality is different. Biological Mecha have strong contaminating properties and are very damaging to the body; not everyone can withstand them. Have you noticed a problem? Almost all the combat personnel in our department are New Humans.”
“I’ve noticed that,” Su Ming nodded in response.
“Because New Humans are not just a little bit stronger than you Old Humans in terms of anti-contamination,” Lin Chuyu said very seriously.
“Chu Yu is right,” An Ruoxue agreed.
Hearing this, Su Ming looked at An Ruoxue in confusion and asked, “Ruoxue, are you also a New Human? Why haven’t I seen any special features on you?”
“My features? They’re in the most mysterious place. Do you want to see them?” An Ruoxue raised her hand, pointed below her, and replied with a smile.
“Pfft~ Cough, cough, no need.” Su Ming quickly stopped her, lest she actually lift her skirt, which would be awkward.
“Haha!” An Ruoxue immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu also softly said to Su Ming, “Su Ming, when I mentioned New Humans, I didn’t mean to discriminate against you.”
“I understand, no need to specially explain,” Su Ming replied with a smile to Lin Chuyu.
In fact, the relationship between New Humans and Old Humans was not as harmonious as it appeared on the surface. This was because New Humans possessed longer lifespans, stronger physiques, and higher intelligence. In comparison, most Old Humans seemed very ordinary.
Therefore, New Humans looked down on Old Humans, and Old Humans also largely rejected New Humans.
In earlier years, there were even serious conflicts and confrontations between the two groups, even bloody purges. However, later, the Federation specifically enacted anti-discrimination laws, forcibly suppressing the conflicts.
But even so, most New Humans nowadays don’t really make friends with Old Humans; most of them gather among their own kind.
Hence, the Special Combat Department actually had a very poor relationship with other departments in the military.
As for Su Ming, if he hadn’t known Lin Chuyu, he basically wouldn’t have any New Human friends around him.
Seeing that Su Ming didn’t mind, Lin Chuyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then continued, “Su Ming, I really don’t recommend you get involved with Biological Mecha. Do you still remember the nautilus incident?”
“nautilus?”
“Yes, the Biological Mecha on the nautilus went out of control because Senior Morik’s corpse mutated. And Senior Morik was one of the earliest Biological Mecha pilots. You should know that he was a very powerful New Human, and at that time, he had also taken Type I gene serum, but even that wasn’t enough to withstand it.”
“What about you?”
“We’ve also reached Type I, but our current Biological Mecha technology is much more advanced than it was then. And the Biological Mecha we use are made from ordinary alien races, not from the highly contaminating Kirami. But even so, our bodies are constantly being damaged.”
“Then why do you still choose Biological Mecha?” Su Ming said, frowning tightly.
“That’s because we have no choice. Pure Mechanical Mecha are simply too expensive. People from commoner backgrounds like us can’t afford them, so we can only choose this path,” Lin Chuyu replied, shaking her head.
“Let alone commoners, even nobles might not be able to afford it,” An Ruoxue added helplessly.
“Indeed,” Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
He was finding it very difficult now just to switch to a Pseudo V-generation Mecha.
“So, Su Ming, if you currently have a pure Mechanical Mecha, don’t get involved in this muddy water,” Lin Chuyu advised Su Ming.
Su Ming pondered for a moment and said, “I understand what you’re saying, but I still want to try.”
Lin Chuyu hesitated and said, “Su Ming, there’s a big difference between Biological Mecha and pure Mechanical Mecha. If you really want to try it, you’ll need to learn from scratch.”
“I know that.”
“If you really want to try Biological Mecha, come find me at the special combat department tomorrow night. I can help you with basic anti-contamination training.”
“Alright, thank you,” Su Ming replied, very grateful to hear Lin Chuyu’s words.
“Oh, oh, that’s too much! Chu Yu, weren’t you just trying to dissuade him? How did you change your mind so quickly? And you’re even actively helping Su Ming with anti-contamination training.”
An Ruoxue said teasingly.
“I’m just respecting Su Ming’s choice,” Lin Chuyu replied, looking a bit unnatural.
Su Ming coughed and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s drink.”
“Alright, let’s finish this bottle first, then we’ll switch to cocktails!” An Ruoxue raised her beer, in high spirits.
“Okay!”
The next evening.
Inside the training room, General Tai Tate explained in a deep voice, “When we fight against the Mechanical Clan, we must be especially careful of Ling械. Don’t think this guy seems to have no combat power; it can counter-control our weapons and also strengthen its kin.”
Su Ming and the others listened patiently.
At this moment, General Tai Tate’s wristband vibrated. He looked down at it, then said to everyone, “Alright, time’s almost up. We’ll stop here today.”
“Yes, General,” everyone responded.
General Tai Tate then strode out of the training room.
At this point, Su Yuan stretched, then asked Su Ming, “What are your plans for tonight?”
“You go have fun on your own, I have something to do tonight.”
“You’re not going to that department again, are you? Are there some pretty girls there?”
“That’s right, I’m off.”
“Damn, you’re such a guy who prioritizes girls over friends.”
“Bye-bye!”
Su Ming waved his hand and left in a hurry.
He needed to rush to the special operations department; Lin Chuyu and the others might finish their training earlier today.
A moment later.
Su Ming arrived at the entrance of the special operations department and saw Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue waiting for him inside.
He took out his Light of Hope card, swiped it, and hurried in.
“Sorry, did I keep you waiting?”
“It’s fine, we just finished training not long ago,” Lin Chuyu replied, shaking her head.
“Alright, don’t be so polite, let’s go to the training room. Today, the two of us will help you with basic anti-contamination training. Not everyone gets this kind of treatment,” An Ruoxue said to Su Ming with a smile.
“Understood,” Su Ming replied with a smile.
Soon, Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue led Su Ming to a large training room.
Inside the entire training room, various precise pieces of equipment were arranged, among which the most conspicuous were the NSQL-03 Type Biological Testing Pods in the center.
However, the vast training room was empty.
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue led Su Ming to the Biological Testing Pods and introduced them to Su Ming.
“This is the latest type of Biological Testing Pod developed by Xiguang Laboratory, also called a contamination pod. We usually use this for contamination training.”
“Mm,” Su Ming nodded in response. He remembered this thing clearly.
When he went to Xiguang Laboratory for testing, he used this very thing.
Now, looking at these Biological Testing Pods, his spirit became even more excited. He finally had a chance to try again.
“Su Ming, how many doses of gene serum have you taken so far?”
“I’ve reached Type II. Does this Biological Testing Pod have a rule that you must have taken a certain number of doses to use it?”
“No, actually, whether or not you’ve taken gene serum, this testing pod can be used directly. The values produced have a special reference table for measurement. When we first tested, we also hadn’t taken gene serum,” Lin Chuyu explained to Su Ming.
“I see.”
“I’ll perform a comprehensive general test on you first to see your data in various aspects.”
“Okay,” Su Ming nodded in response. He was also very curious now about how much he had improved.
At this moment, An Ruoxue took out a set of tight-fitting men’s training clothes and handed them to Su Ming with a smile.
“Here.”
“Why are you giving me this? Can’t I just test directly?” Su Ming asked, taking the training clothes with a puzzled expression.
He clearly remembered that he hadn’t changed into training clothes when he was tested at Xiguang Laboratory.
“No, this Biological Testing Pod is the latest 03 Type, and its contaminating properties are very strong, so you must wear training clothes,” An Ruoxue said with a smile.
“How come I feel like you’re pulling my leg?” Su Ming replied with a strange expression.
“How could that be? Hurry up and change, the changing room is over there,” An Ruoxue quickly urged Su Ming to change.
“Alright!” Su Ming reluctantly took the training clothes and walked towards the changing room.
A few minutes later, Su Ming walked out wearing the tight-fitting training clothes. The entire outfit seemed to cling to his skin, perfectly outlining his physique.
Su Ming felt as if he wasn’t wearing any clothes, which was very awkward.
If a group of people were wearing them, it would actually be fine. But now that he was the only one wearing them, he felt completely out of place.
“Wow, what great physique and muscles! Can I touch them?” An Ruoxue asked excitedly.
“Cough, cough, Ruoxue, can you please mind your image? Don’t act like a female hooligan,” Su Ming said helplessly to An Ruoxue.
“What’s there to be afraid of? There’s no one else here,” An Ruoxue replied with a chuckle.
“Ruoxue, stop messing around, let’s begin,” Lin Chuyu said with a smile.
“Got it!” An Ruoxue replied with a smile, then walked to the number 1 Biological Testing Pod in front of her, reaching out to set parameters on the touch screen of the pod.
Click!
The lid of the huge Biological Pod slowly opened, revealing a biological cockpit.
Su Ming looked at the familiar biological cockpit, took a deep breath, then walked into the test cabin and sat on the biological operating chair.
Lin Chuyu then instructed Su Ming.
“It will feel very uncomfortable during the test, which is normal. Don’t be nervous, especially you must control your emotions.”
“I understand.”
“There’s also a black button on the right armrest of the biological driving chair. If you really feel like you can’t bear it, press this button, and the biological test cabin will stop operating! Also, we will be watching from outside, and once there’s any abnormal phenomenon, we will forcibly interrupt the test immediately.”
“Okay!”
Su Ming replied with a slight smile.
“Then let’s begin.”
An Ruoxue tapped the touchscreen and said.
The hatch of Biological Test Cabin No. 1 immediately began to seal.
The moment it was completely sealed, Su Ming felt as if he was sitting in the cockpit of a 4th Generation Biological Mecha.
Immediately after, a virtual screen popped up in front of him, displaying a prompt.
“Prompt: Test started!”
“Prompt: Cockpit life-sustaining fluid injection has begun.”
Small holes opened on the cockpit wall, and countless viscous liquids poured out.
Su Ming was very calm about these life-sustaining fluids.
Gurgle ~
Not long after, Su Ming was covered by the life-sustaining fluid, and his expression remained unchanged.
At this moment, a new prompt appeared on the virtual screen.
“Prompt: Countdown 5S, activate biological mode, neural link is about to begin!”
Su Ming looked at the pop-up prompt, his expression becoming very solemn. It was finally about to begin.
The moment the countdown ended, a prompt popped up on the virtual operating screen.
“Neural restrictions lifted, neural linking beginning!”
“Exchange circuit opened!”
“Synaptic measurement, synchronization rate 3.1%, 7.2%, 9.1%”
Su Ming instantly felt as if his body was being pricked by needles, but he didn’t care at all.
Su Ming felt that his body was much stronger than before in this test.
For a moment, a glimmer of hope rose in Su Ming’s heart; perhaps he had a talent for piloting biological mechas.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue, standing outside the biological test cabin, looked at the data displayed on the test cabin, their expressions growing more silent.
About ten minutes later, inside the biological test cabin, Su Ming felt immense pain in his body.
He didn’t stubbornly endure it but rationally pressed the button.
Snap ~
Biological Cabin No. 1 began to discharge the life-sustaining fluid, and the hatch slowly opened.
Su Ming sat on the biological driving chair, panting heavily, his face slightly pale.
“How do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”
Lin Chuyu asked with concern.
“I’m fine.”
Su Ming felt that his current state was much better than his first test; that test was practically risking his life.
“That’s good. Let me help you out.”
Lin Chuyu reached out and helped Su Ming out of the test cabin.
“Thank you. How are my test results?”
Su Ming asked impatiently.
“Ahem, I’ll project them for you. You can see for yourself.”
An Ruoxue coughed and tapped the touchscreen a few times.
Whoosh!
Biological Test Cabin No. 1
Body Contamination Resistance Assessment: 36 points.
Cell Activity Assessment: 31 points.
Mental Health Status: Healthy.
Synchronization Rate: 11.3%
Su Ming looked at the results, somewhat silent for a moment.
“Su Ming, these results are pretty good. You just need a bit more practice.”
Lin Chuyu said somewhat against her true feelings.
“That’s right, these results are very good.”
An Ruoxue also echoed.
“Sigh, you don’t need to deliberately comfort me. I’m not that fragile. Can you tell me the true situation of these results?”
Su Ming asked very calmly.
“Alright, your test results are quite excellent compared to ordinary Old Humans, but for us New Humans, they are still far off. And the most fatal thing is that your synchronization rate is too low. The synchronization rate for a biological mecha needs to be at least 60%. Once the synchronization rate drops below 60%, at best the connection will be broken, and at worst, the biological mecha will lose control and rampage! Although different biological bodies can be matched, and you can find a biological mecha with a higher compatibility to pilot, the general test should at least reach around 40%-50%.”
An Ruoxue explained the specific situation to Su Ming.
“I understand.”
Su Ming was also a bit disappointed upon hearing this.
“Su Ming, do you still want to undergo anti-contamination training?”
Lin Chuyu asked softly.
“Yes.”
Su Ming quickly adjusted his mindset. Although the data measured now was far from ideal, he did not give up because of it.
“Okay, then adjust your state and enter the biological test cabin again. Anti-contamination training emphasizes gradual progress, allowing the body to slowly adapt to contamination, so you don’t have to push too hard at first.”
Lin Chuyu meticulously explained various precautions during the training process to Su Ming.
“Okay!”
After listening attentively, Su Ming entered the biological test cabin again.
At this moment, Major Wu Li passed by the training room door. He noticed the lights were on inside the training room, so he stopped and glanced inside.
He then saw Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue conducting anti-contamination training for Su Ming.
He stood curiously by the door and watched for a while, then turned and left.
Not long after, Major Wu Li arrived at the cafeteria.
He saw Tigerdo and Wake sitting in a corner drinking, and quickly walked over.
“Sorry, big brother, I’m late!”
“Sit.”
Tigerdo, in low spirits, picked up a bottle of wine and handed it to Wu Li.
“Wu Li, what’s going on with you being so late? You punish yourself with three cups first, then drink one with big brother.”
Wake lectured Wu Li.
“Something came up, I was delayed.”
Wu Li immediately picked up the wine, poured three cups, and drank them down.
Immediately after, Wu Li poured another cup and toasted Tigerdo.
Tigerdo picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Wu Li’s, and then drank it all.
Seeing Tigerdo in low spirits, Wu Li said with a chuckle.
“Big brother, let me tell you something. I just passed by the training room and saw that little puppy.”
“What was he doing there?”
Tigerdo was also startled, frowning as he asked.
“Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue were conducting an anti-contamination test for him. It seems this kid wants to join our department. Once he enters our department, big brother, won’t it be easy for you to handle him?”
Wu Li said excitedly.
Tigerdo’s brows furrowed even tighter after hearing Wu Li’s words.
At this moment, Wake also spoke to Wu Li.
“Wu Li, what nonsense are you talking about? Is big brother that kind of person?”
“Right, I misspoke. Leave this matter to us. We’ll take care of him, guarantee he won’t be able to stay, and he’ll scram in disgrace.”
Wu Li immediately reacted, saying with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Tigerdo’s expression softened considerably, and he raised his wine glass, saying.
“Come, let’s drink!”
“Okay!”
Inside the training room.
Biological Test Cabin No. 1 opened again, and Su Ming stepped out, feeling exhausted. He felt extremely fatigued and uncomfortable, as if he were in a sub-healthy state.
“Do you feel very uncomfortable right now?”
Lin Chuyu asked with concern.
“Yes.”
“This is normal. Your body is currently in a state of mild contamination. Go back and get a good night’s sleep tonight, and you’ll feel much better the next day, but it won’t be easy to fully recover! If you really want to pilot a biological mecha in the future, as the number of piloting sessions increases, the contamination to your body will continuously worsen, and you’ll need to take medication long-term then.”
“I understand. That’s all for today’s training. Thank you for your hard work.”
Su Ming nodded and replied.
“It’s nothing.”
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue nodded slightly in reply.

The next morning · In the advanced study room.
Su Ming sat on the chair with a somewhat heavy heart, waiting for General Tai Tate to come for class.
At this moment, Su Yuan, sitting nearby, asked with some confusion.
“Su Ming, what’s wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood. Did you hit a wall yesterday?”
“Don’t guess randomly.”
Su Ming replied grumpily.
Just as Su Yuan was about to say something, General Tai Tate walked straight in, and he quickly shut his mouth and sat properly.
At this moment, Titanter also walked to the podium.
“General!”
Su Ming and the others all stood up and called out.
Titanter raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
At this moment, soldiers walked in, carrying trays. These trays held brand-new major general uniforms.
They distributed these uniforms to Su Ming and the others, then respectfully retreated.
“Everyone, change into your uniforms.”
General Tai Tate said in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
Su Ming and the others all took off their clothes, picked up their major general uniforms, and put them on.
Since there were no females in the entire advanced study room, only a group of big men, there was no need for concern.
“Not bad, a perfect fit!”
“The texture is really good.”
Coke and the others said excitedly.
At this moment, Zhou Mu suddenly noticed that Su Ming’s uniform epaulets were a bit different from his own, and immediately asked curiously.
“Su Ming, why are our uniform epaulets blank, but yours has three moons on it?”
“I’m not too sure, maybe it’s because I have three Silver Moon Medals.”
Su Ming thought for a moment and said.
Instantly, the entire advanced study room fell silent, and Zhou Mu and the others looked at Su Ming with complex expressions.
One Silver Moon Medal represented him taking down a major general, which meant that when he was a colonel, he had taken down three major general-level enemies.
At this moment, Titanter spoke in a deep voice.
“You don’t need to compare yourselves to Su Ming. This kid is already on the Dark Star Empire’s Red List, and his rating is even Crimson Moon.”
Titanter hadn’t been idle before; he specifically submitted an application to the Cosmic Military Headquarters to retrieve some of Su Ming’s information, and the more he read, the more shocked he became.
This kid was truly a genius. He began to show his talent during the Three School League, and was promoted to major in his first year. All his military merits were earned through real combat, and he even made it onto the Dark Star Empire’s Red List.
“Yes.”
Everyone responded.
“Alright, no class today. An important dignitary is coming to the Cosmic Military Headquarters, so everyone follow me to greet him.”
Titanter said to everyone.
“Yes!”
Su Ming and the others were also very surprised and unexpected to hear this.
“Let’s go!”
Titanter then led everyone away.
Black Glow Planetary Fortress · Interstellar Airport No. 1.
Berth No. 1 · Waiting Area.
A large number of soldiers wearing 2nd generation exoskeleton armor, holding weapons, sealed off the entire area.
At this moment, a man in a general’s uniform, with a hooked nose, cold eyes, and an expressionless face, walked over with Tigerdo, Falut, Lin Chuyu, and other members of the Special Combat Department.
They stood in a neat line, hands behind their backs, waiting quietly.
This man in the general’s uniform was precisely Sanida, the commander of the Special Combat Department.
At this moment, Tigerdo, standing behind him, spoke in a low voice to Falut.
“Who are we waiting for?”
“I’m not sure either, but for General Sanida to greet him personally, he must be a very important person.”
“Mm.”
At this moment, another round of footsteps approached, and General Tai Tate walked over with Su Ming and the others.
They also lined up neatly, standing face to face with the personnel of the Special Combat Department.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue immediately saw Su Ming in his major general’s uniform.
Expressions of extreme shock appeared on their faces; they hadn’t expected Su Ming to come, and even wearing a major general’s uniform.
At the same time, Tigerdo also noticed Su Ming, and he too had an expression of disbelief. That little puppy was actually a major general? He even wondered if he was seeing things.
At this moment, Su Ming also saw Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue, and he gave them a faint smile.
