Qiao Yu's thoughts were racing.

An NPC had developed its own will and was trying to escape the instance that created it, which was extremely similar to the current situation in the Mechanical Kingdom.

"Well? Have you thought it over, Qiao Yu?" the Mechanical Empress asked.

"Do I have any other choice besides agreeing to you?"

Qiao Yu shrugged helplessly. If he dared to refuse, the Mechanical Empress could crush him with a single finger.

"Good, thank you."

"Because of you? The four seasons are warmed?" Qiao Yu sang out without thinking.

Mechanical Empress: "..."

She didn't know why, but hearing this melody made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Alright, you can leave," the Mechanical Empress waved her hand, indicating.

"Wait, I still need to find Professor Hua Jun and get the Mechanical Heart," Qiao Yu said.

"Mechanical Heart? You want that trash?"

The Mechanical Empress casually pulled out more than a dozen Mechanical Hearts.

"Here."

[Mechanical Heart]: D-grade item, greatly increases the speed at which players learn mechanical knowledge after use.

Qiao Yu: "..."

Compared to the Mechanical Empress's heart, it really was trash.

Third Great-Uncle, I'm sorry!

"Achoo!"

"What's going on? Who's secretly cursing me behind my back?"

At this time, Professor Hua Jun, who was in the laboratory, didn't know that his nephew had abandoned him, and he was still diligently modifying Talma.

[Congratulations to player Qiao Yu for obtaining the Mechanical Heart and successfully clearing the Mechanical Kingdom instance.]

[Evaluation complete: Player Qiao Yu's rating: A. The system will distribute rewards according to the player's rating.]

[Now distributing A-level rewards to player Qiao Yu: Experience +50, 5 free attribute points, B-level skill book "Shaping Technique"]

Qiao Yu followed the old rules, adding attribute points to strength and throwing the skill book into his storage space.

Before he used the active skill of the Heart of the Brave, skill books should be useless to him.

Qiao Yu controlled the chip behind his head and slowly exited the instance, reappearing in Zhuo Xinyuan's house.

"Zhuo Xinyuan, I got the Mechanical Heart!" Qiao Yu said.

"Damn it! My brother, stop worrying about the Mechanical Heart, and hurry to the exam hall! Otherwise, you'll miss the college entrance examination!"

Zhuo Xinyuan's written exam had ended two days ago.

Qiao Yu then slapped his thigh, damn it, how could he forget about the college entrance examination!

Qiao Yu looked at the communication network in the inner world, and sure enough, there was a dense pile of unread messages.

He looked around and found that almost all of them were sent by Xue Jinlong, Zuo You, and Yang Xiangdi.

"Entering with the people from First High School?" Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

"Let's go quickly, I've arranged the car!" Zhuo Xinyuan urged.

When Qiao Yu arrived at the exam hall, only the First High School team was left.

"Finally made it!"

Qiao Yu quickly walked up to a male teacher from First High School.

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

The male teacher's face lit up when he heard the address.

"You must be Qiao Yu, Teacher Shi Mei's cousin? Just call me Teacher He, your sister and I haven't confirmed our relationship yet, it's too early to call me brother-in-law."

"Okay, brother-in-law, got it, brother-in-law."

Teacher He smiled even more happily, his young face like a vigorously blooming chrysanthemum.

"Come, stand at the front of the line."

Teacher He clapped his hands and said to the students of First High School.

"Everyone, listen to me, I'll say a few simple words to you, and then we'll enter!"

"Our First High School has always been the high school with the highest undergraduate enrollment rate in Su City. The top students in the city have almost always come from our school."

"Last year, Long Xiang from our First High School even won the top score in the warrior class college entrance examination!"

"This year will be no exception! I hope that this year, our Su City First High School can produce another top scorer in the college entrance examination!"

"Do you understand?"

Teacher He asked loudly.

"Understood!"

Qiao Yu shouted loudly, mixed in with the crowd.

"Enter!"

The First High School team marched into the examination hall in a mighty manner.

Not far away, in the Fourth High School team that had already entered, Yang Xiangdi and the others were constantly looking for something in the First High School team.

"Brother Yu! It's Brother Yu! He made it, look, he's over there!" Yang Xiangdi pointed at Qiao Yu and said.

At this time, Qiao Yu was striding forward at the front of the First High School team.

The audience in the stands began to cheer and welcome the First High School team's entrance, with countless people loudly cheering for the First High School students.

"Come on! The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you."

"Son! Dad is here, good luck on the college entrance examination!"

"Daughter, you are the hope of our whole family!" a father shouted, waving the national flag.

Qiao Yu, who was walking at the front, confidently waved to the audience in the stands, as if he were a genius student from First High School.

"Who is that very handsome boy at the front? Is he the top seed from First High School this year?"

"Definitely! Otherwise, why would they let him walk at the front of the team? That's the center position!"

"Wow! I haven't seen him at First High School before, he must be a hidden trump card!"

The students from Fourth High School looked at each other with strange expressions as they listened to the discussions in the audience.

They couldn't understand why their own genius had gone to First High School.

Only Xue Jinlong and the others, who knew the truth, quietly gathered together and muttered.

"Teacher Shi Mei, what did you say to the teacher from First High School? How did you get Qiao Yu to stand at the front?"

"I don't know!" Shi Mei was also confused.

"I just told him that Qiao Yu is my cousin, and asked him to do me a favor. I don't know why he let Qiao Yu stand at the front."

"Quickly find an opportunity to bring him back, otherwise the misunderstanding will only get bigger!"

"Teacher, is it possible that Brother Yu has betrayed us?" Yang Xiangdi said.

Xue Jinlong turned his head to look at Qiao Yu, and as a result, the more he looked, the more it seemed like a betrayal...

"Thank you! Thank you for your support of First High School!"

Qiao Yu cupped his fists in thanks to the audience in the stands. His idea was very simple: since the teacher from First High School had let him stand in the center position, then he certainly couldn't embarrass them!

"Look! That's Long Xiang! Last year's top scorer in the warrior class college entrance examination!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked over.

A young man of about twenty years old was sitting next to the four high school principals. He was tall and slender, and his whole temperament was like a soaring sword.

At this time, Long Xiang was looking at Qiao Yu at the front of the team with great interest.

"Principal, is he this year's top seed from our alma mater?" Long Xiang asked.

"Maybe... probably... maybe... most likely, yes."

The principal of First High School was a little confused, because he had no impression of Qiao Yu at all.

"I really hope that our alma mater can produce another top scorer in the college entrance examination this year." Long Xiang revealed a smile.

"Um... excuse me."

Principal Hong from Fourth High School spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one standing at the very front of your team is a student from our Fourth High School."
