“I’m sorry that you feel deceived, but I promise that if you can help the research institute complete the experiment, we can give you what you want.” Eugene looked at Yun Xingze and said word by word.
“More importantly, the Empire and the Alliance may be at war at any time.
Our backward technology is a disadvantage for you, for the people, and for the entire Empire.”

Eugene’s words made Yun Xingze ponder.

Although the various practices of the research institute made him very uncomfortable, he did need their paint.

Moreover, after entering the research institute, he will naturally have the opportunity to design a better mecha.

It’s just that these people only regard him as a “test subject” now.

“You said you need my help to complete the experiment.
What do you mean?” Yun Xingze thought for a while, and then asked Ming Xiao.

“Research on a mental power amplifier.” Ming Xiao replied.
“We have developed a tool that can amplify mental power, but there is a lack of people who can activate it.
As for why it can’t be activated, we can’t explain it clearly in a few words…”

Before he could finish his words, Yun Xingze immediately asked:

“It can’t activate because the material counteracts mental power, right?”

Everyone present was stunned.
They didn’t expect that Yun Xingze could actually guess the reason!

Eugene asked in surprise: “Why do you know?”

This is an inevitable outcome when improving neural connective technology.
In his previous life, Yun Xingze personally participated in the entire research and development process, so naturally, he was clear about it.

Yun Xingze secretly made a decision in his heart.

He said to Ming Xiao and Eugene, “I can help with your experiment, but only if I can talk to the dean.”

As soon as he said this, the researchers at the back were not calm.
They couldn’t help but burst out.

“You want to talk to the dean? Dream on.”

“Does Dean Cheng have so much time.
How can he be so free?”

“To be honest, you are indeed capable, but not everyone can see the dean.
You aren’t the only capable person.”

Cheng Yuan is the dean of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute.
He is only middle-aged, but he has a deep understanding of mecha technology.
It was he who created new types of mechas, such as, the shadow mecha and the storm mecha.

These new mechas allowed the Empire to directly surpass the Alliance’s mecha level.
They brought the Empire a golden decade.
Various mecha innovations emerged one after another, and Cheng Yuan also became a national treasure.

The people in the Imperial Mecha Research Institute admired Cheng Yuan immensely, so they were naturally disgusted by Yun Xingze’s arrogant tone.

“If you ask others for help, you should show sincerity.” Yun Xingze didn’t panic at all.
“If anyone can help complete the experiment, why bother come to me?”

The few researchers mocking him suddenly choked.
They fell speechless, and their faces didn’t look so good.

Ming Xiao and Eugene exchanged a few words.

In the end, Ming Xiao said to Yun Xingze: “I can’t make the decision.
The dean has been in meetings the last few days, and I will let him know when he is free.”

“Please believe in our sincerity.” Eugene looked at Yun Xingze said solemnly.
“This experiment is of great importance.
As a mecha fighter, you should know better than us that amplifying your spiritual power will be a feat that will shock the entire galaxy for ages.
Even if it is only increased by 1%.”

Yun Xingze hummed noncommittally.
Calmly picking up the canned paint on the shelf, he asked Eugene, “It’s almost time.
How much is this paint? You can state your price.”

“The wave-sensing nano coating currently does not have many applications and is rarely found in the market.” Eugene replied, “I’ll give you an internal friendship price.
103,800 star coins, which is half off the market price.”

“Drop a zero.” Yun Xing Ze gave Eugene a smile.

Somehow, seeing Yun Xingze’s smile, Eugene had a bad premonition.

Eugene hesitated: “One hundred thousand, is that cheap enough?”

Yun Xingze said generously: “Ten thousand.”

Eugene: “…”

Ming Xiao was shocked by Yun Xingze’s way of dropping a zero.

The other researchers couldn’t stay calm again:

“Don’t go too far!”

“You still profit if we sold it to you for 100,000!”

“This way of dropping a zero is unheard of.
Is the Imperial Mecha Research Institute a farmer’s market…”

Yun Xingze said calmly: “The price will definitely depreciate in the future, and mass production and wholesale are possible.
Besides, since you want to ask me for help, and have done so many things that make me uncomfortable, 10,000 isn’t ridiculous, right?”

“Not too much.” Ming Xiao knew Yun Xingze’s importance to the research institute, and he didn’t want to argue over it.
“Ten thousand is ten thousand, you can take it.”

“Give me a packing bag,” Yun Xingze said happily.

All the researchers said in unison: “…you @#%¥%!”

Eugene hurriedly stopped them.
He pulled out a storage bag in the cabinet and helped Yun Xingze package it.

After Yun Xingze and Eugene left the room, someone asked Ming Xiao, “Why do you have such a good attitude towards him? Look at him, he will probably screw up our research.”

Ming Xiao remembered what Yun Xingze blurted out about “material counteracting mental power”.
There was an unpredictable light in his eyes.

Looking at the pair’s departing backs, he said solemnly: “He may be… more valuable than we thought.”

Behind him, the door of the material room closed.

As Eugene took Yun Xingze out, he said to him, “Think about it.
In this era, the Mecha Research Institute is the only place that does not discriminate against omegas.”

Yun Xingze turned to look at Eugene with a bit of surprise.
He did not expect that Eugene, a beta, to say such a thing.

The high collar of the thin shirt covered Eugene’s white neck, and his cheeks looked a little tired in the dim light as he continued, “We have invested too much for this experiment.
I hope you can understand.”

Yun Xingze pursed his lips.

“Also, even if you’re only a volunteer, with this work experience, it will not be a problem for you to enter a large mecha company in the future.” Eugene encouraged Yun Xingze.
“I look forward to your joining.”

Seeing Eugene’s sincere attitude, Yun Xingze finally gave a low “en” and said, “I will think about it.”

 

—–

 

After they left the store, Luo Wenchuan had been waiting for a long time.

He sat on the sofa in the store, his back tense.

Seeing the two of them come out, his sitting posture relaxed a little.

Afterwards, Luo Wenchuan stood up, walked to Yun Xingze and asked, “Found it?”

Yun Xingze nodded and raised the bag with a smile.
“I bought it.”

Luo Wenchuan’s cold facial features softened a lot at this moment, he whispered, “That’s good.”

After speaking, Luo Wenchuan handed Yun Xingze a glass of juice: “I just went to buy it.”

Yun Xingze thought that Luo Wenchuan was probably waiting for him with anxiety and worry.
Yet he could still think about him under such circumstances…

What a good boss.

Yun Xingze couldn’t help thinking, if he really obtained the resources of the Mecha Research Institute in the future, then he must help Luo Wenchuan to modify his mecha as soon as possible.

If the research on the mental power amplifier goes well, the results should be produced in about a few months.

By then… Luo Wenchuan will become a SSS-level mecha warrior.

Thinking of this, Yun Xingze’s smile deepened.
After he tasted the juice in the glass, he handed it to Luo Wenchuan: “Do you try it too?”

Luo Wenchuan was stunned for a moment.

He glanced at the straw, pursed his lips, and his throat rolled.

Yun Xingze suddenly realized that Luo Wenchuan was a clean freak.
How could he share a straw with him?

So, Yun Xingze took back the cup and scratched his head with embarassment: “Forget it, I’ll buy you a cup later.”

Luo Wenchuan froze as he was about to lower his head.

At this moment, Eugene behind them suddenly said, “I have a double straw.”

Both of them looked at him in surprise.

The pair had no idea from which corner of the shop Eugene pulled out a two-person straw from, and handed it to the two of them.

“Uh,” Yun Xingze was stunned for a moment, “Why do you have…”

“I used to open a juice shop here before.” Eugene said calmly.
“It’s not allowed?”

“No…”

It seemed like Eugene has deceived many people into the Mecha Research Institute.

After Yun Xingze put in two-person straw, he handed one of them to Luo Wenchuan.

Luo Wenchuan was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and took a sip of juice.

Afterwards, he pursed his thin lips and said in a pleasant tone, “It tastes good.”

Yun Xingze felt that Luo Wenchuan should be happy.

But it seems…

There is a hidden hint of loss?

Maybe he thought too much.

After returning to the hotel, Yun Xingze packed up the things he purchased, and his eyes fell on the Noah flowers on the freezer.

Walking slowly to the freezer, he looked at the yellow petals.
The fragrance of the flowers made him feel relaxed and happy.

“Increases mental strength,” Yun Xingze said softly to himself.
“But reduces pheromone content in one’s body…”

He didn’t care about this side effect.

Although the research institute gave him this bouquet of flowers to let him participate in the experiment, it can help him quickly upgrade to S-level.

This is a good thing for the match.

In the next few days, Yun Xingze successfully modified the mechanical beast with the paint he bought.

This “wave-sensing nano coating” is more sensitive and effective than he imagined.

The only drawback is that the material has limited induction diffusion, and can only be applied to very small mechas, not mainframe armors.

After the mechanical beast was refitted, Yun Xingze had already thought of countless ways to defeat his opponent.

Just as he was confidently preparing for the game, he found that his teammates were all frowning.

After asking Oriel why, Oriel directly sent him several links.

Across the major forums and news, there is an endless stream of analysis focusing on Xinghai Academy and St.
Klito Mecha Academy.

And most of them looked down on the Xinghai Academy and praised St.
Klito.

Even the comments under these news are biased towards St.
Klito, and often belittled Xinghai Academy along the way.
There were also many random personal attacks.

Looking through it, Yun Xingze suddenly found that many of these comments were posted by small accounts, and there were a lot of repeated content.

After patiently reading it, he somehow remembered Richard’s evaluation of St.
Klito, and immediately had a bold guess that this news and most comments were most likely the first of St.
Klito’s steps to defeat the Xinghai Academy – psychological warfare.

Exactly as Richard said… they’re rude.
