968 Mecha (1/2)
”Oh? Really?”
Fang Yuan looked at Ling Fei'er, but he was indifferent. He said right in front of her, ”Qi Yunshan, what's the meaning of this?”
”It's not much. Just a small gift!” Qi Yunshan winked suggestively on the screen.
”Thank you, but I don't really like this gift. The most appropriate place for her is behind bars! Attempted murder, isn't that enough to put her in jail?” Fang Yuan said impassively while watching Ling Fei'er tremble.
”Brat… you're ruthless!” Qi Yunshan's expression darkened. ”However, to tell you the truth, this isn't just my idea. Do you think I have that much power?”
Yeah, without East Dragon University, Ling Fei'er would likely be in a worse situation…
Fang Yuan thought for a moment, but he did not need a maid by his side. It was not convenient for him.
”You'd better take her back. I'll stick to my earlier thoughts!” he added before turning off the communicator.
”Lin Meng…” Ling Fei'er's face was pale. It seemed like flames were spurting out of her eyes. She stared at Fang Yuan and said fiercely, ”I'll hate you forever!”
”Go ahead! You're welcome to it!”
Fang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back without a shred of emotion in his eyes.
He already extinguished the remaining instincts in this body. Even as he watched Qi Yunshan take Ling Fei'er away, he felt nothing.
”Hm, after dealing with Ling Fei'er, it seems like Xiao Hongyue is next!” Fang Yuan thought about it. ”Later on, I'll refine a high-tier brain development drug and send it to her. I'll end things with her like this…”
His focus was his own karma. As for the past Lin Meng, it was merely incidental.
Otherwise, with that idiot around, there was no way Ling Fei'er would have ended up like this.
…
Fang Yuan's application was quickly approved.
Before long, he became an honorable second-year mecha department student.
Of course, when he saw the tuition, miscellaneous school fees, daily fees, and material costs, he was speechless.
Soon after, an email appeared on his device.
'Beep! Greetings, Student Lin Meng! The Department of Mecha Piloting is the most expensive in all schools. If you are unable to pay the tuition and other expenses, you can sign an agreement with the military to obtain an interest-free loan!'
”It turns out that mecha pilots might not have to enter the battlefield after they graduate. That's just a decision for poor students who have no other choice. After all, being in the mecha department consumes a lot of resources!”
To become a skilled mecha pilot, the amount of operation time one got was very important. Even the original Gundam model used for training was costly.
”Compared to mecha pilots, the cost of failing to concoct pills in the pharmacy department is nothing!”
Fang Yuan finally understood that a mecha pilot was an esteemed profession. Without the appropriate family background, it was best not to try. Otherwise, they would have to sell themselves to repay their debts.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan was quite rich. He directly waved his hand, paid the credits, and immediately received a timetable.
”Mecha Basics, Basic Maintenance, and Combat Piloting? Not bad!”
In fact, the first-year classes had just started. His transfer to the second year was just in time.
”I'll attend a few classes first. If there isn't much to learn, I'll look for Qi Yunshan and enter Fu Hongxue's research group.”
Fang Yuan put on his school uniform with the second-year badge. He walked through the campus while new students stared at him in disbelief.
”Is that… Lin Meng?”
”Why is he a second-year now?”
”He skipped a year? Didn't Lü Songyang say that he was trash?”
”That's not right. He has a terrifying aura. Even the seniors might not compare to him!”
…
Various discussions continued.
Since he skipped a grade, Fang Yuan used his Breath Holding Dao Art and adjusted his cultivation to level six Foundation Establishment.
At this cultivation level, he could be regarded as a genius, so it was reasonable for him to skip a year.
Furthermore, second-year students might not compare to him.
”There's a Mecha Basics class in the afternoon. It's in district three, room A-985!”
As Fang Yuan passed through the barrier, someone with thick eyebrows and glasses walked up to him. It was Mentor Lü Songyang!
”Student Lin Meng, I apologize! I was wrong about you!” Lü Songyang had a good attitude this time, taking the initiative to greet him and apologize. ”You've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage? You're a genius!”
”Uh, it's all right. I was also hiding it at that time!” Fang Yuan said frankly, but he felt dumbfounded. At first, he thought he would have a bloody fight with the mentor and was thinking about how to retaliate, but the mentor gave in first.
”Haha. Everyone has their secrets. It's normal! Understandable!” Lü Songyang said with a smile, looking joyful. The other first-year students would have been shocked.
In reality, he was actually thinking, Lin Meng is already at Foundation Establishment. He's definitely a genius, and I'm sure he'll reach Golden Core and Nascent Soul soon. With the school attaching importance to him, I'd be courting death if I chose to go against him! I might as well reconcile quickly. At worst, it'll be a little shameful for me!
