Chapter 1034 - 1034 The First Mecha
1034 The First Mecha
Little Loli came to tell Zi Yi slightly after seven o’clock in the morning, “Sister, someone got out.”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye quickly went to the bar. After getting there, they saw five students standing inside at the bar waiting for them.
Bryan was among them.
The five of them looked overwhelmed by what they had seen inside the space. Their long-time understanding of the world seemed completely crushed.!!
“Tell me. How did you get out?”
The five of them looked at each other briefly. A girl with flax colored hair said, “We specialize in five different subjects. We worked together to find the exit.”
She proceeded to tell them how they worked together.
Zi Yi nodded. “Not bad.”
The five of them thought Zi Yi would praise them more. Unexpectedly, other than those two words, she said nothing else.
The five of them could not help feeling disappointed.
After some time, Zi Yi said to Little Loli beside her, “Little Loli, take them to eat something.”
“Okay, Sister.” Little Loli said to the five of them, “Follow me.”
She then showed them to a booth.
After taking a couple of steps, Bryan turned to ask Zi Yi, “Zi Yi, does this mean we have passed the test?”
Zi Yi nodded. “Yes.”
The five of them looked excited.
Zi Yi said, “Don’t be happy just yet. Even if you have passed the entrance exam, I will keep testing you in the future. If you don’t pass, you will still get kicked out.”
Bryan nodded. He clenched his fists tightly with a look of determination on his face. “I will work hard to graduate.”
“Good.” Zi Yi smiled. “If you manage to graduate, I will make one of your wishes come true.”
“Anything at all?”
“Uh huh. Anything.”
Bryan also smiled with a look of determination on his face.
Slightly over 20 people came out later in the day.
They chatted briefly about how they managed to leave the space. All of them made it out of the space through cooperation as well.
These people suddenly realized Zi Yi’s objective of the test.
“I realized we would only manage to get out of the space through teamwork. Also, all our teams consist of people from different majors.”
“She must have set the test to see if we can cooperate.”
“That must be the case.”
Lu Jingye turned his head sideways to look at Zi Yi and saw her drinking. He took the wine glass from her and said solemnly, “You have already drunk a few glasses today.”
Zi Yi laughed. She stood up and snapped her fingers in the air and the rest of the students appeared at the same time.
The group of people were a little stunned when they noticed they had left the space.
Zi Yi said, “Everyone, the test has ended. You didn’t pass.”
Their expressions promptly changed.
Zi Yi pointed at the 22 people standing by the side. “The objective of the test is teamwork. These people managed to come out using team effort, but you failed to do it. This means you did not make the cut. You have to leave now.”
“No way!”
After a boy spoke loudly, he howled and cried. “I know I’m good. How could they pass but not me?”
Someone promptly chimed in. “I refuse to accept this either.”
“Me too.”
“Hmph!” Zi Yi laughed coldly. “I don’t care how you feel about it.”
She said to A, “Get someone to send them back to Metropolis University.”
A gestured at them to leave. “This way, please.”
A lot of the eliminated students started crying. However, Zi Yi remained firm and refused to give them a chance. They were promptly taken out of the bar.
When they were removed forcibly, one of the girls who had passed finally could not help asking, “Zi Yi, aren’t you worried about ruining your image by doing this?”
“Does it matter?”
Zi Yi smiled. “If they ruin my image, do you think it will stop people from joining my faculty?”
The girl stopped talking.
Even if Zi Yi had a bad reputation, she would still willingly study under her. No other teacher was able to offer the kind of knowledge Zi Yi possessed.
Zi Yi said, “Since you are now students of the Futuristic School of Technology, you have to think differently. Otherwise, it’s just a matter of time before you get kicked out.”
Everyone was stunned briefly before they promptly felt very inspired and stopped talking.
…
News about the Futuristic School of Technology accepting only 28 students spread throughout the world promptly.
As everyone gossiped about it, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye stood in the mecha room at the aviation research base.
The mecha engineers stood inside the room looking at the huge mecha in front of them. They could not help feeling excited.
“Zi Yi, do you think the test will succeed today?”
“We will only know after testing it.”
Zi Yi turned her head sideways and said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, let’s conduct the test.”
Lu Jingye gave her a nod.
Zi Yi promptly pulled out a virtual keyboard and tapped on it. The mecha’s eyes suddenly lit up.
A deep voice could be heard. “Earth 01 Mecha activating.”
Everyone felt even more nervous.
“Activation success.”
Zi Yi gave the order. “Open the hatch.”
After the hatch opened, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye promptly entered the mecha’s control room.
The people standing outside were blown away by excitement.
As Zi Yi and Lu Jingye stood inside the mecha, she started teaching him how to link his mental energy with the mecha.
Things did not go smoothly. Even though Zi Yi had helped to develop Lu Jingye’s mental energy, he was unable to control it very well.
Usually, Lu Jingye was able to remain composed and handle anything. However, he was starting to lose his cool now.
A small hand grabbed his large hand. “Ah Jing, don’t worry. You’ve never used your mental energy previously, so this is normal. Just do as I say…”
As Zi Yi spoke slowly, Lu Jingye kept trying. After over two hours, he was finally able to control the mecha.
“Good. Try walking around now.”
Lu Jingye spent a few days learning to use the mecha.
By the time he was able to control the mecha well, the first batch of trainees were able to complete training.
Zi Yi also helped to develop their mental energy.
At the same time, she led the mecha engineers to work overtime and quickly make the second and third mecha along with the spaceship.
During this time, Zi Yi found out that the worms had found a lot of raw materials.
Country A also did its utmost to slow them down.
However, their government took care of everything.
Half a month later, the second batch of trainees were ready.
Using their mental energy, Lu Yunxiao and Runge were able to control the other two mechas.
A month and a half later, the spaceship was completed.
Zi Yi, Lu Yunxiao, and Runge planned on bringing some men to settle the male worm.
The night before leaving earth, Zi Yi and Lu Yunxiao went back to the Lu residence.
