Chapter 51: Personality

“Su Ming, do you think those idiots can really control the spaceship? What if the spaceship is blown up before it even lands on Di Yan Star? Wouldn’t we get zero points?”

Chen Tong asked, somewhat worried. He truly had no confidence in those fools.

“If we’re really that unlucky, there’s nothing I can do. But our luck is already much better than others. After all, we still have Mecha. As long as the spaceship can reach Di Yan Star’s near orbit or atmosphere, we can forcibly detach from the spaceship and crash-land.”

Su Ming analyzed rationally.

“That makes sense!”

Zhao Ran echoed.

“Run!”

Su Ming kept accelerating, running forward, and for a moment, Zhao Ran and Chen Tong couldn’t keep up.

“What’s going on? Su Ming, why are you running so fast?”

Chen Tong immediately noticed something was off and asked.

“Uh? It’s fine.”

Su Ming was also slightly startled. He suddenly realized that he had become super agile in all aspects, completely without the cumbersome feeling he had before.

“What do you mean ‘fine’? Are you cheating?”

Chen Tong couldn’t believe it. Before, when they were escaping for their lives, Su Ming was always the cumbersome one running at the back.

Su Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and calmly said to Chen Tong and the others,

“There’s nothing strange about it. We’re all using simulation pods. It’s not our bodies running, but our consciousness, so I’m not burdened by my overweight body.”

“So that’s it.”

Chen Tong immediately realized.

“Alright, we need to speed up and get to the hangar. If we’re the first ones there, maybe we can pick the best Mecha.”

Su Ming said to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tong and Zhao Ran’s spirits immediately lifted, and they accelerated to follow Su Ming.

Soon, Su Ming and the two caught up with Lin Chuyu and the others who were running ahead.

“Su Ming.”

Lin Chuyu also noticed Su Ming catching up and greeted him with a slightly surprised expression.

“Mm.”

Su Ming nodded slightly to Lin Chuyu.

At this moment, Li Fubai, who was beside Lin Chuyu, saw Lin Chuyu actively greeting Su Ming, and his eyes immediately darkened a few shades, but he didn’t say anything.

They ran all the way towards the hangar.

Not long after, Su Ming and the others rushed into the hangar. Looking out, they were immediately deeply shocked by the scene before them.

The entire hangar covered an area of over 200,000 square meters, with a ceiling height of 30 meters, and rows of sliding overhead rails embedded in the top.

Three hundred First Generation Mecha, Iron Head, were neatly arranged in rows, all held in place by steel fixing frames. Even if the spaceship was turbulent, the Mecha would not tilt.

In the corner of the hangar, there were weapon racks and ammunition racks, on which various firearms and ammunition for Mecha were placed.

At the same time, there were also large supply and maintenance machines inside the hangar.

“So many Mecha!”

Zhao Ran exclaimed excitedly.

“They’re all Iron Head, no difference. Let’s just get on one!”

Su Ming quickly scanned the Mecha on site and found no Second Generation Mecha. So he stopped agonizing and immediately led the two towards the nearest Iron Head Mech.

Lin Chuyu also rushed to a nearby Iron Head Mech, but she deliberately avoided the three that Su Ming had chosen.

As for Gu Meng and the others who came in later, they also deliberately avoided Su Ming and his group. After all, there had been conflicts before, and now it was the City Exam. They didn’t want to cause conflict at this time and ruin their future.

Soon, Su Ming rushed to the Iron Head Mech numbered NO.1. He was very nimble with his hands and feet, quickly climbing up the boarding ladder beside the fixing frame to the cockpit position.

Immediately after, Su Ming opened the Mecha cockpit and deftly climbed inside.

At the same time, Lin Chuyu and the others also climbed into their Mecha, and they quickly closed their cockpits.

Inside the cockpit, Su Ming glanced at the control panel. He found that the metal control panel was no different from a real machine, so he quickly followed the procedure to activate the Mecha.

Zzz~

Instantly, Su Ming’s Mecha eyes lit up first, followed by Lin Chuyu, Li Fubai, and the others.

At this moment, many Mecha department examinees also rushed into the hangar, and upon seeing the Mecha, they excitedly shouted,

“Mecha!”

They scrambled to rush towards the Iron Head Mecha.

Su Ming only glanced at the other examinees who had arrived, then ignored them and focused his attention on the operation screen.

He began to check the Mecha’s various parameters and equipment to quickly grasp the performance of the Mecha in his hands.

“Power Fuel Rod: 100%”

“Damage Level: 0%”

“Auxiliary Jet Module: Equipped.”

“Handheld Weapon: red metal mechanical blade.”

“Handheld Thermal Weapon Module: Not equipped.”

“Ammunition Bay: 0%”

Su Ming looked at the displayed parameters and immediately felt confident. This Iron Head Mech was just not equipped with weapons and relevant ammunition; its fuel and auxiliary jet module were already equipped.

At this moment, many students who had boarded the Mecha began to grumble.

“What the hell is going on? There’s no ammunition loaded! Where are the logistics personnel?”

“Where are the logistics?”

“Why are you shouting? Are you in a hurry to be reborn?”

At this moment, a male examinee, dressed in a maintenance uniform, responded impatiently.

Everyone looked at the male examinee, only to see a prominent label floating above his head: Logistics Maintenance Personnel · Zheng Yu.

“Oh, how can you talk like that?”

Many students piloting Mecha furiously yelled at Zheng Yu.

“I can talk however I want, what’s it to you? I’m already full of anger from those officers, and now I have to put up with your expressions? Why should I?”

Zheng Yu retorted unhappily.

“Stop arguing, quickly load the ammunition for me, don’t waste time.”

Li Fubai shouted, annoyed.

“Am I your dad? You say load, and I load? Why should I load it for you?”

Zheng Yu retorted rudely.

“You don’t want points, do you?”

Li Fubai suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

“Uh.”

For a moment, Zheng Yu was speechless. His task was logistics maintenance, and loading ammunition and equipping weapons for Mecha earned points.

“Student, could you please help us with the ammunition?”

Lin Chuyu requested very politely.

Zheng Yu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Li Fubai,

“I want points, but I’m not loading for you. I’m loading for the pretty girl.”

“You—”

Li Fubai was instantly fuming with anger, but he couldn’t act out, so he could only turn his head to look for other logistics examinees.

“Thank you.”

Lin Chuyu politely expressed her gratitude.

“No need to thank me, pretty girl. What weapon do you want? Tell me! I’ll help you pick!”

Zheng Yu said, very eager to please.

“Could you please check if there are any electromagnetic guns or similar weapons?”

Lin Chuyu asked, she remembered clearly that the enemies in the Earthfire Star Battle were the Mechanical Clan, and electromagnetic weapons were most effective against them.

“No problem, pretty girl, wait a moment, I’ll go find them for you.”

Zheng Yu replied with a beaming smile, and with that, he ran towards the nearby weapon rack to see if there were any good weapons.
