After the tiebreaker begins.

Luo Wenchuan entered the state of human-machine integration in the first minute of the game.

In the third minute, the opponent was beaten by him and fled everywhere.

In the sixth minute, the referee counted the seconds.

In six minutes and ten seconds, the game is over.

The rhythm of the entire game was firmly in Luo Wenchuan’s hands, and he did not give the opponent the slightest hope.

“The score is 4:3! Let’s congratulate Xinghai Academy for winning the second round of the group match…”

The voice in the broadcast seemed unreal to Yun Xingze’s ears. Although he still failed to enter the human-machine integration in this match, a warm current surged in his heart watching his teammates hug each other excitedly and cheer.

Yun Xingze seemed to feel that his hard work and dedication were valuable.

Not long after the end of the game, the name of the Xinghai Academy appeared on hot search.

The hot search terms that appeared included “Yun Xingze”, “Let three become four”, “Bai Jiashi hide-and-seek”, “Bai Jiashi made a big talk before the game and was face-slapped”, “Luo Wenchuan” and other entries.

If Xinghai Academy’s previous victory over Jicot was an upset, Xinghai Academy’s victory over St. Klito this time, became a god-like legend in the NCLM circle.

In the audience’s heated discussions, Yun Xingze had become a well-deserved main character.

One of the boring people posted a post on the interstellar forum and asked everyone who stood out most from Xinghai Academy. Almost all of them nominated Yun Xingze, followed by Luo Wenchuan, Ashley, and the rest.

“Actually, everyone’s performance is very good, but I think that after Yun Xingze defeated Bai Jiashi, the momentum of Xinghai was saved.”

“Upstairs is correct. Yun Xingze was playing the match point. If he lost, Xinghai will have had a hard time qualifying this year.”

“Momentum and confidence are too important for a team.”

“Yun Xingze xuedi… what is in his head. How can he think of transforming a mechanical beast into a shadow mecha, and why does it look more powerful than a shadow mecha?”

“I think that ugly cat is comparable to Xi Bolai.”

“Xi Bolai, the official member of the Jicot school team, also known as the little mechanical beast of Yun Xingze.”

“Pfft, hahaha, I don’t know what Xi Bolai will think when he sees it.”

This sentence quickly reached Xi Bolai’s ears.

And that’s what the Xi Bolai opponent told him when Jicot was playing against Yuanshan Academy.

“They said that you are not as good as a mechanical beast.”

After hearing this, Xi Bolai gritted his teeth furiously. “Did Yun Xingze send you to piss me off?!”

He added another grudge against Yun Xingze.

—–

The day after the Xinghai team’s victory over St. Klito.

The pressure on the school team lessened significantly. The tension that had been accumulated for a long time needed to be released, so Richard made an exception to let them rest for a long time.

In the early morning, Yun Xingze left the hotel and was about to go out to buy something, but he didn’t expect that Ming Xiao personally came to the door.

“Congratulations, your game has created a miracle again.” Ming Xiao raised his lips and walked in front of him. His dark green curly hair looked stylish and handsome. “There is good news, Dean Cheng has agreed to your request to talk to him.”

Yun Xingze was stunned. He thought it would be difficult for them to agree, but he didn’t expect Dean Cheng Yuan to agree so quickly.

“So, please come with me now.” Ming Xiao said in a low voice.

Yun Xingze nodded and followed Ming Xiao’s footsteps.

Since the Imperial Mecha Research Institute is willing to talk to him, he will go and see.

They boarded an aircraft. After a flight, the aircraft landed in a dense forest in the suburbs. The building covered with hidden materials was the Imperial Mecha Research Institute.

Under Ming Xiao’s lead, Yun Xingze went through layers of security and identity checks to the core area of ​​the research institute.

The material room here is much larger than the previous one. Everyone hurried about, large instruments ran constantly, and mecha models and accessories of various sizes are shining with cold light.

Under the white light, this place is like a large closed factory. Seemingly isolated from the outside world, but really breeding the future of the Empire’s mechas.

“Before meeting with Dean Cheng, please do a mental control test.” Ming Xiao said to Yun Xingze.

Yun Xingze raised his eyebrows: “Can this still be tested?” He thought that at the research institute’s current level, there was no way to make such an extremely difficult instrument.

“The scientific research institute has been trying to build a system for detecting mental power control,” Ming Xiao explained. “Because everyone is becoming more and more aware of the importance of mental power, which represents the efficiency of a person’s use of mental power.”

Yun Xingze nodded, and under the leadership of Ming Xiao, he did a mental control test.

Before the test report came out, he was taken to the dean’s office and met Cheng Yuan himself.

Yun Xingze read about Cheng Yuan online, but he seemed more energetic in person.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yuan was listening to a girl group song that was popular online. Yun Xingze was stunned by the brisk, rhythmic voice.

Seeing Yun Xingze and others coming in, he hurriedly paused the music, stopped his swaying, and raised his head. “You are finally here.”

The expression of being intoxicated by the music switched to serious and responsible in a second. Yun Xingze also pretended not to hear the song just now.

After sitting down, Ming Xiao left, and Yun Xingze got straight to the point. “President Cheng, I can help the research institute complete the experiment, but I have one condition.”

“Please, what condition do you have?” Cheng Yuan said simply.

“I want a laboratory along with supporting resources.” Yun Xingze looked at Cheng Yuan and said slowly.

Cheng Yuan did not expect that this military academy student not only played well in the game, but also was extremely mature in dealing with others. His act of putting forward such conditions was not humble or arrogant.

Cheng Yuan asked with interest: “Do you know what the Imperial Mecha Research Institute means to the Empire? In such a place that pioneers technological innovation, as a military student, you actually want the resources of the research laboratory?

“I won’t help with the experiment then.” Yun Xingze’s tone was calm.

Cheng Yuan’s lower lips hooked as he said, “You’re really brave, just like in the competition.”

“Have you watched my game?” Yun Xingze raised his eyebrows.

“I’ve seen it.” Cheng Yuan poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him. Then he crossed his legs, and said slowly while staring at him. “The scene where your mechanical beast went invisible was very exciting.”

After that, Cheng Yuan’s body leaned forward slightly, as he continued. “I know that your mental control is very strong. I can give you a lot of things, but a laboratory is the only thing I can’t give you. Also, you must know that there are so many strong fighters in the military. There are always people with better control than you…”

“Then there’s nothing for us to talk about.” Yun Xingze stood up, ready to leave.

Cheng Yuan’s throat rolled slightly, and he couldn’t help frowning.

This young man is still too anxious to do major things.

Just when Cheng Yuan was about to reopen the girl group song, his assistant presented Yun Xingze’s mental control report to him.

The most important reason why Cheng Yuan originally took a fancy to Yun Xingze was not because of how irreplaceable Yun Xingze was, but because he was a military academy student. Students were easier to control and would not reveal secrets.

Besides, no matter how strong his mental control is, how strong can he be? Can he reach SS-level?

Not long ago, many military leaders have participated in the evaluation of this instrument. It is rare for someone’s mental control to reach SS-level.

“Since Yun Xingze is unwilling to cooperate, there is no need to give me this report.” Cheng Yuan said slowly, “Destroy it, along with his personal information.”

After speaking, Cheng Yuan picked up a cup of coffee, and began drinking.

“D, Dean…” The assistant said in a trembling voice, “You, you, why don’t you take a look…”

Cheng Yuan frowned at him: “Why?”

“Yun Xingze, his, his mental control level is…”

The assistant slowly unfolded the report in his hand in front of Cheng Yuan.

“Ping–”

The coffee cup in Cheng Yuan’s hand fell directly to the ground. Coffee spilled all over the ground, but because he was too shocked, he didn’t pay any attention to the burning sensation on his ankle.

What level do you think YXZ is at? Hehe.
