Chapter 1 Long Dani

Long Dani sat in her chair, gently tapping the table.

A knock sounded at the door. Long Dani's brow relaxed. "Come in."

This was Li Hao's first time in the principal's office, and he was meeting the legendary Principal Long.

Their eyes met, and Li Hao quickly saluted. "Hello, Principal. Li Hao reporting for duty."

Long Dani smiled slightly. "Li Hao, don't be so restrained. You performed well in this accident, saving your classmates with great courage. The school will reward you."

"Reporting, Principal, it's what I should do. Actually, Zhou Nanyi and Ye Tong reacted even faster." Li Hao said, standing up straight.

"They're both excellent as well. You are all the pride of Tianjing Mech Academy. You and Zhou Nanyi are both in Class 16, right?" Long Dani looked at Li Hao with satisfaction.

"Yes, Principal. The class monitor usually takes good care of me."

"It's only right that classmates help each other. I was the same way when I was a student... How did you kill the giant insect?" Long Dani suddenly asked, as if making casual conversation.

"Its..." Li Hao suddenly paused, a look of astonishment on his face. "Principal, you've got it wrong. I didn't kill it. I thought I was going to die, and then it just fell over."

Long Dani smiled without saying a word. This kid was very cautious. She simply looked at Li Hao, who wore an innocent expression. No matter how she stared, nothing would come of it.

"Is that so? But the video shows that you looked back when you rescued Zhou Nanyi, and then the giant insect exploded. How do you explain that?" Long Dani said. Although most of the video was blocked, it didn't prevent her from testing him.

Li Hao paused slightly, then shrugged. "Principal, that's obviously good luck. Am I supposed to be able to kill it with a single glance?"

Long Dani laughed. "Li Hao, I only said you looked back, not that you glared at it. Alright, whatever the situation, I don't care. It's just that with your skills, you were last place last year. That's unacceptable. You need to help Nanyi's team. I hope you can represent Tianjing in this year's competition."

"Principal, you know my situation. I made mistakes in the past."

"I don't know what happened exactly. You did it, and you paid the price. Now you're a member of Tianjing Mech Academy. You're one of my people. What you need to do is eliminate anyone who stands in the way of Tianjing Mech Academy's glory. Leave everything else to me," Long Dani said domineeringly.

Li Hao smiled slightly and nodded. He would take some of those words with a grain of salt, but he was still happy to help Nanyi and the others.

"There's also another matter. I have an exchange student here, someone with connections. You're responsible for handling her. Wherever she wants to go, whatever she wants to do, it's all fine. The principle is to ensure her safety. As for everything else, don't be proactive, don't refuse. Do you understand what I mean?" Long Dani said, looking at Li Hao.

Li Hao was stunned. "Principal, I'm not very good at socializing. Can you change someone else?"

Long Dani frowned, seemingly considering. "You recommend someone then. The school can cover the relevant expenses."

"Well, Principal, I've thought about it. This is the first task you've given me, and I need to face difficulties head-on. I think I can overcome it!"

At this moment, in the endless night on the dark side of the moon, an underground base was brightly lit.

In the laboratory, two huge carbon-based Razor Giant Insects stared intently at the human in front of them. Their bodies were tightly bound, but that didn't stop their compound eyes from exerting pressure. Even a battle-hardened warrior would collapse within three seconds under this kind of mental impact.

The young man in front of them seemed completely oblivious, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. The next second, a green liquid began to seep from the bodies of the two giant insects. Then, with two loud pops, the giant insects exploded, leaving the ground in a mess.

The door to the laboratory opened, and staff members in protective suits entered in an orderly manner, cleaning up the mess with great skill.

The young man wiped the green liquid from his face, a faint smile on his lips.

Compared to the old principal's style, Li Hao preferred the current Long Dani. She had a murderous aura that suited his taste.

Taking care of someone with connections? A small matter.

Arriving at the infirmary, Zhou Nanyi had already woken up. The rest of the class had already visited.

"Damn, the hero's back! Not bad, Hao-ge. Reliable at a crucial moment. And quick to... oh, to act." Ma Long winked and grinned.

"If you don't talk, no one will think you're mute. Class Monitor, are you feeling better?" Li Hao asked.

Zhou Nanyi's face was still a little pale. When she rushed over, she had planned an escape route, but she didn't expect the giant insect to have such a terrifying ability. Her body felt like it was falling into an endless abyss, until Li Hao saved her.

"Thank you."

"No need to be so polite with me. You always take care of me, and I'm not polite with you. Just treat me to a meal when you're better. Actually, after you two messed around, the insect's last breath was gone. You two are the real heroes," Li Hao said with a smile.

"Second Brother, next time I'm in danger, you should be so decisive, hmph!" Ye Tong was a little unhappy. Even if he had to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, he could have called her over. Were a few seconds that important?

Could it be that her Second Brother was secretly an Lsp? (lecherous pervert)

Li Hao had no choice at the time. It wasn't just mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; it was also to release her from the dream control. Zhou Nanyi hadn't undergone this kind of training, and one second later, she might have fallen into the dream forever and never woken up. That was more serious than physical injury.

Li Hao ignored Ye Tong. "Class Monitor, the principal just said that you will be rewarded, and that you should rest well."

Before long, the doctor came in and asked everyone to leave. In Zhou Nanyi's condition, rest was what she needed most.

Li Hao dragged Ma Long and the others away, while Zhou Nanyi looked at Li Hao's back, a strange feeling in her heart.

Although she was a military academy student and had undergone some training, this was the first time she had faced life and death, and it was a completely different feeling. In comparison, Li Hao and Ye Tong had performed better.

In that situation... was that her first kiss?

Today was Friday. Because of the incident, team training was canceled. Ye Tong seemed a little upset and said she was taking a flight back to Europe for the weekend. Everyone else went home, leaving Li Hao alone in the dormitory again.

Sometimes, Li Hao felt blee

"Yes, I'm Li Hao. Are you A Youyou?"

"Senior, my name is A Youyou, not Aiyo Yo." The girl smiled playfully, and her heart-shaped red lips made Li Hao's heart race and his temperature rise.

Looking at Li Hao's silly appearance, the girl stuck out her tongue. "Senior, I was just joking with you. Principal Long said that you can help me with anything. Please take care of me."

Li Hao's heart was instantly filled with joy. Dear Principal, I misunderstood you. You're a good person.

"A Youyou, is there anything you want to do, anything you want to eat?" As soon as he said it, Li Hao wanted to slap himself. He was so stupid. Calm down. Think about Master Ma's teachings. What was it? Hard milk... something.

Forget it. Looking at the girl in front of him, Li Hao felt that thinking about those things was an insult.

"Senior, you're too kind. I'm the one disturbing you. I'm an exchange student and I've only been here for a few days. I just want to know what everyone usually does." A Youyou looked at the strange, somewhat flustered young man in front of her.

"Me? I'm in the Mech Department, preparing for EMP training," Li Hao said subconsciously.

"Great, great! I'm also very interested in EMP. Can I join you?" A Youyou smiled slightly.

Li Hao naturally wouldn't refuse. He and A Youyou entered the EMP building together. If it were him and Ye Tong or Zhou Nanyi, they would definitely attract a lot of attention, but A Youyou was very ordinary. Not that she wasn't pretty, but she wasn't stunning. Especially at Tianjing Mech Academy, most people would just glance at her and move on.

That's just a matter of taste.

Scanning the QR code, Li Hao discovered that he now had Level 2 access to the EMP building, which meant that he would have a dedicated training room at any time.

Principal Long was indeed a good person. Looking at the enthusiastic A Youyou beside him, and the exclusive training room he was about to have, Li Hao felt that he should work his fingers to the bone for Principal Long.

"Senior, you go train. I'll just watch in the lobby. Come find me when you're done training," A Youyou said with a smile. She knew it wasn't good to disturb him too much. For the Mech Department, training was a very private matter.

Li Hao nodded. It seemed he couldn't train for too long today.

Logging into the EMP system, he currently had 960 points. The consecutive wins in the real-world area still gave bonus points, but it wasn't fast enough. He had to work harder.

Configure the mecha selection. Since bleem wouldn't let him use anything other than the Armor series, he should set it up to prevent accidental selection. In carrying out missions, there was no room for luck, and no mistakes were allowed. Li Hao understood this better than anyone.

Restrict the mecha library to only the three Armor brothers. Damn, like the French Fries Brothers. Li Hao had tried all kinds of mecha in the virtual area. For him, other than a few interesting ones, they were all about the same. However, the usage rate of the Armor Brothers had been declining in recent years. The Armor Dragon was still barely passable. The Armor Tiger and Armor Leopard were growing grass on their graves.

(Tang Kai is awesome, a domineering young man, full of detail, fighting well!)
