Chapter 1 A Busy Day

Monday was another busy day for the students of Tianjing Mech Academy. Li Hao was no exception, as he still had required courses to attend. Despite the principal's words that they were in a special period and could be more free, Li Hao felt it was better to be cautious. After all, important figures often had a habit of settling scores later.

In the afternoon, there was an important lecture. Long Dan Ni had invited Professor Damon, the dean of the USE Mech Academy. Due to the recent popularity of the Armor series trio, Professor Damon had become a hot commodity. Even during the Armor series' lowest point, he had consistently adhered to the same concepts as his mentor, Master Jiabo. Although Armor Dragon and Armor Tiger hadn't turned the tide yet, Armor Leopard had been proven to possess considerable power, with a design concept twenty years ahead of its time.

Damon was a master of ancient martial arts and deeply admired it. The essence of his design for the Black Night Saber was to create a mech that followed the ancient martial arts concept of human-machine integration. However, the effect wasn't ideal. He had accepted Long Dan Ni's invitation partly out of courtesy, and partly because Li Hao, the captain of the Tianjing team, was the only one who had consecutively used the Black Night Saber and won in the official competition.

He had watched the videos repeatedly, and even excluding the opponents' skill levels, he was astonished by Li Hao's operation and awareness.

The lecture was scheduled to start at two in the afternoon. By one thirty, the auditorium, which could accommodate over two thousand people, was already full, with many people standing.

Professor Damon could be said to be the mainstay of the Earth mech equilibrium faction. Thanks to Puppet's continuous victories on EMP, many people had gained confidence. Li Hao, Zhou Naiyi, Zuo Xiaotang, Ma Long, Huo Ying, and Musashi sat in the front row, all with great interest.

"Li Hao, did the captain of Tianxing contact you later?" Zhou Naiyi asked, fearing that the other party's young miss temper would flare up and create an international issue.

"Ah, oh, it's nothing." Li Hao rubbed his nose. A day had passed, and there was no movement. She should be safe. It was best to stay away from this kind of person; they were too dangerous.

"It's a pity. It would have been great if we could have a team battle with Tianxing Mech Academy. Their style is very representative of NUP," Huo Ying said with some regret.

"That's probably impossible. However, their captain is not as good as our captain!" Ma Long said smugly. Old Li was too reliable, he had suppressed the other party. If Zhou Naiyi hadn't told him not to cause trouble, he would have announced it widely on Tianxun. Sister Yi was just too cautious. Fame should be sought early.

"Their sniper is in the top five on the moon. It would be good to practice with them," Zuo Xiaotang said with a somewhat dazed expression. How should he put it? He didn't have any overly high goals or requirements, as long as he didn't hold them back. However, the battle with Tita was so terrible that even he couldn't stand it. He also wanted to spar with a high-level sniper.

"Captain, I think that girl is interested in you. Why don't you sacrifice a little? Maybe she'll agree," Huo Ying said with his loud voice.

"You big black egg, shut up," Ma Long glared fiercely at Huo Ying. "How can we sacrifice our captain for this kind of thing? Let me do it!"

"That depends on whether she likes you. The captain killed her twice in a row. I feel like she's about to be conquered. There's a chance," Huo Ying said seriously.

"What do you know??" Ma Long looked towards the door.

Before long, many people's eyes were drawn to the door. A light blue tank top, fair and straight long legs, a slender waist, and perfect curves above, not too big, not too small, hitting all the right spots. And that face that made people fall in love at first sight, rare clear eyes that sparkled. Was this? Tianjing Mech Academy was not short of beauties, but their looks definitely had their own strengths. However, the temperament exuded by the girl in front of them was a bit overwhelming. The huge auditorium was obviously full of experts, and after more than ten seconds, someone recognized her. It was Tita Mantis, the captain of Tianxing Mech Academy, the beauty boss of the S competition. When she debuted, people thought she was just relying on her looks!

The already lively auditorium instantly exploded. If time were reversed by a few years, the students of Tianjing Mech Academy wouldn't be like this. But now, Tianjing Mech Academy and Tianxing Mech Academy, other than their similar names, had little else in common.

The moon also had a mid-season competition. How could Tita have the time to come here?

Tita didn't care about the outside reactions at all. She quickly found Li Hao, who was trying to shrink back, in the crowd, and walked over with a smile on her lips.

By the time Li Hao looked up, Tita had already arrived in front of him, her face full of smiles. "Is there something on the ground?"

Li Hao was a little embarrassed. She was bringing up something he didn't want to talk about. He was really scared, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"It seems Captain Li Hao isn't very welcoming." Tita wasn't angry, and still had a smile on her face. After resting for a day yesterday, she found that her mental strength had increased incredibly, and the instability and fluctuations that used to occur whenever she used mental skills had disappeared. Obviously, all of this was brought about by Li Hao.

"No, how could that be? We, Tianjing Mech Academy, are very hospitable. Uh, we have class soon, and outsiders aren't..."

"I know. Professor Damon's class. I'm really looking forward to it. Can this classmate give up a seat? I have some private matters to settle with Li Hao." Tita looked at Ma Long.

Ma Long stood up immediately. Zhou Naiyi didn't even manage to stop him. "Of course, you're welcome. Tianjing Mech Academy and Tianxing Mech Academy are destined in name. We should have more exchanges and interactions. Captain Tita, I've always been your fan. Can we take a photo together?"

"Sure." Tita today was obviously completely different from the previous two days. She smiled and generously fulfilled Ma Long's wish. Ma Long got what he wanted and immediately slipped away.

He ran to the second row, and naturally some buddies squeezed over for him. While listening, Teacher Ma edited his Moments, with pictures and the truth: It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar, done, and posted!

Instantly, the number of likes on his Moments skyrocketed, with various "request introductions," "goddess," "wow, where did this hot junior sister come from," "is she mixed? She feels like she has a moon vibe" Of course, this wasn't the main point yet. They hadn't realized who they were taking a photo with. It didn't matter, let the bullets fly for a while.

Tita sat down next to Li Hao without any hesitation, and directly leaned close to Li Hao's ear, "Didn't you tell me to rest more and not move around randomly? That's why I stayed a few more days."

"No, I meant don't fight, don't use your mental strength. You're already better now, you can move around freely," Li Hao said quickly.

"Haha, I'm not teasing you. No wonder A You You said you're quite fun. I have a ticket for the evening to return to the moon. I came specifically to thank you," Tita said. The moon side had already predicted that the future development space for mech warriors was no longer in the physical body. Gene technology had reached its limit, and any more tinkering would lead to monsters. The golden zone had opened the door to mental strength, and Tita's awakening wasn't early, but with Li Hao's help, she had definitely completed a leap, and she was very, very grateful.

Zhou Naiyi kicked Li Hao next to her. Li Hao reacted, "If you really want to thank me, can we have a training match with your team or something?"

Tita glanced at Zhou Naiyi. The little movement was so big that the table was shaking. She smiled slightly, "It's not impossible, but we already have an opponent, so it can only be once or twice a week. In exchange, you have to teach me the Battoujutsu."

"Deal!" Li Hao was happy and pointed to Zhou Naiyi, "This is the person in charge of our team, contact her, I'm busy with work."

"Zhou Naiyi, I know, nice to meet you." Tita said very politely.

"Captain Tita, you're too kind, same here."

The two girls' eyes met, and something seemed to spark. They shook hands lightly, their fingers touching and separating quickly.

A large group of onlookers in the auditorium were whispering to each other, "Wow, is our captain that awesome?"

Last year he was just a weed on the side of the road, what happened this year? Some time ago, they heard that Ao Fei and others had come to find him, and now there was another expert from NUP, completely equivalent to the Six Dragons. Looking at the two of them talking without any avoidance, this wasn't an ordinary relationship.

Tita Mantis, NUP's female mech pilot in charge of looks and strength, a member of the Dalivin family. Although Dalivin was a large family with many members, Tita was definitely a core member, a proper rich and beautiful woman. On the moon, she was an unattainable goddess, and now she was actually at Tianjing Mech Academy??

The photo function of Tianxun obviously couldn't be wasted. Before long, all kinds of Moments began to show off wildly.

At this level, their influence was no different from celebrities.

Tita's identity should actually be paid special attention to. She knew it would be like this when she came. Actually, she didn't know why she had to come, but she just wanted to come, as a formal farewell.

Teacher Ma in the back row was smiling so wide that his mouth was splitting open. His Moments had exploded.

-- "Holy crap, Tita Mantis Dalivin, Ma Long, you're taking off!"

-- "Brother Long, please carry me!"

-- "Looking at this pose, could it be that the goddess took the initiative to ask for a photo???"

-- "Ma Long, are you photoshopping it?"

-- "No way, Tita really went to Tianjing Mech Academy, someone else in my Moments posted it too."

-- "Where can I find the same style of clothes? It feels very flattering."

Teacher Ma smiled faintly, everything was under control. His radiating influence was constantly increasing. He didn't reply to anything else, maintaining mystery and enhancing the space for imagination.

_Xian Mu Qi Yuan_

-- "Chanel haute couture, the consistent taste of the Dalivin family."

Teacher Ma装了个逼淡澹 di. He had seriously studied women's brands. Tita's aura today was obviously different from before. It seemed that Brother Hao had really made her feel good.

Sure enough, men still had to be strong.

Tita didn't care about this. Suddenly, Tianxun rang. It was Robby, with his ever-enthusiastic and flamboyant magnetic voice, "Not bad, Tita, you can even find him, I'm impressed!"

Tita glanced at Tianxun and frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she looked up and looked at Li Hao strangely, causing Li Hao to feel his hair stand on end. Li Hao carefully recalled last night, he shouldn't have damaged anything in the hotel. He had asked the boss, and the things there were very expensive, he couldn't afford to pay even if he was killed.

Tita pondered for a moment, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She replied to Robby: You hid it deep enough, you're really something.

What she didn't know was that this little action almost made countless secretly peeping boys faint. This kind of small expression was really amazingly lethal.

Robby: Hehe, sorry, during that time the team didn't have rhythm and was in bad shape, so we were miserably abused by you, so we had to ask for foreign aid. How is it, were you abused?

Tita looked at Li Hao and understood. No wonder the cougar was so terrifying at that time, the sniper was actually Li Hao, which made Tita a little confused, was this person good at close combat or sniping? Alz analyzed that the sniper was in the top three in the solar system, but Tita thought that Li Hao's close combat was also in the top three in the solar system???

Tita: Guess?

Robby: Hehe, guess what, you must have been abused to death by Second Brother.

Tita was gnashing her teeth with anger and looked at Li Hao again, "Do you have any brothers?"

"Ah, no." Li Hao was inexplicable, but he already wanted to run away, he always felt that Tita was ambushing him.

"I heard Robby say that your sniping skills are also good?" Tita said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Li Hao rolled his eyes, this guy was really unable to keep secrets, "So-so."

So-so?

Alz was almost beaten into self-isolation, what do you want if you're not so-so? He could make Robby ask for help, how else do you want to be so-so?

Li Hao had another secret on his body, at least she knew a little about the situation of the Tianjing team. Last year, this person was still unknown, but it was impossible for him and Robby to have only known each other recently.

Robby was the kind of hard-core guy who could still make a middle finger gesture even if he was beaten to death. He dared to fight and didn't服谁，this was almost the universally accepted impression of the four major war zones, so he had the nickname of the Mad Lion. This wasn't self-proclaimed, it was given by everyone.

Hehe.

What kind of vision did A You You have, probably there was only one such person on the entire earth, and she could find him? At first, she thought that A You You was in her adolescence.

An all-around expert in both ranged and melee combat, who could also make Robby服心服口，how could he not look like a secret weapon of the earth???

Wait?? Secret?? Weapon?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and Tita's pupils kept contracting. She slowly turned her head and stared at Li Hao, staring at Li Hao so much that his hair stood on end. He couldn't help but move towards Zhou Naiyi, trying to find some sense of security.

Could he be???

Just as Tita was about to open her mouth, Professor Damon, the most popular mech designer of the moment, came in.
