Capítulo 1151: Chapter 917: Jixing Conspiracy

“Now that I’m already standing in front of you, is it still important to ask who I am?”

The person in the black robe casually retorted, his steps not slowing as he slowly walked towards Fa Chiyu.

At this moment, Fa Supervisor from Jixing Academy was covered in a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead; the pressure this black-robed man exerted on him was immense.

The square was empty except for the two of them, and this sense of danger in his heart wouldn’t go away.

“You’d better stop, otherwise, when the guards arrive, it won’t be good for you.”

At the last moment, Fa Chiyu maintained the demeanor befitting a senior supervisor from Jixing Academy.

“Ha~ Supervisor Fa is indeed cautious, in line with your usual style.” The man in the black robe said carelessly, casually tossing down a tiny metal hexagonal component with his right hand.

With a buzzing sound, it felt like a mist of water passed by his ear.

Fa Chiyu felt the space suddenly quiet down at this moment, but the string in his heart was pulled tight!

This was a Virtual Barrier Generator, capable of blocking all sound from escaping while making this place appear as a camouflaged area from the outside. One couldn’t even see the two of them conversing inside.

“Who are you really, and what do you want?”

“Now we can speak freely.” The man in the black robe slowly raised his head, revealing a face covered with stubble, looking about forty years old.

“Tomorrow your Jixing Academy will lose, no doubt about it. I’m just here to discuss the details with you.”

This sentence instantly ignited Supervisor Fa’s anger, and he firmly refused, “That’s impossible!”

“Nothing is impossible. I can offer you a satisfactory compensation plan, such as deepening collaboration with Bonar College, jointly establishing an A-level standard cooperation engine laboratory. With Bonar’s technical accumulation… this has been your academy’s dream for a long time, hasn’t it?”

There was no change in Fa Chiyu’s eyes, but inside, waves of turmoil had been stirred. The knowledge of such a high-level secret was supposed to be confined to the upper echelons of the academy. How did the man in the black robe in front of him know?

The corners of the black-robed man’s mouth lifted in a slight smile, “Your attitude now is very good. It seems we can proceed to discuss the next step in detail. You should not try to refuse, but rather learn to accept.”

This time, Fa Chiyu unusually said nothing, only raising his eyes and waiting for the man in the black robe to continue speaking…

Five minutes later, two more people suddenly appeared in the previously empty square.

The Barrier Generator on the ground had disappeared, the black robe once again enveloping the brawny figure, who turned away from Fa Chiyu and walked out of the square, leaving behind a faint voice:

“Supervisor Fa, you are wise. Happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.”

Recalling the details of their conversation just now, Fa Chiyu’s eyes flashed with excitement.

What a significant gain from an assured defeat, far surpassing psychological expectations despite a drop in ranking.

Moreover, the forces behind this black-robed man, faintly revealed, were beyond his vision.

Being able to connect with the three major departments of the Central Military Department, carrying out such blatant operations under the Supervision Committee’s watch… such capacity to reach the heavens…

Fa Chiyu’s heart was ablaze, up to now, only he knew about this matter.

The fewer people who know, the better.

With this in mind, Fa Chiyu quickly walked towards the apartment.

He needed to plan carefully.

…

The next day, as the sunrise on Capital Star emerged, its bright light rendered the sky transparent.

The sky, blue as a wash, made it hard to believe this was a city filled with steel and technology.

Compared to yesterday, not only were the stands inside the giant “Sunrise” Stadium fully occupied, but crowds of people also surrounded the stadium.

These people weren’t just academy students but numerous adults in various clothes, ranging from ages 20 to 60.

These people couldn’t see the events happening on the competition field.

Because the entire exchange competition was open solely to the students, with footage only released after the competitions concluded.

However, this did not hinder those forward-thinking companies from placing their people in the arena to gain first-hand information and then immediately contact the relevant academy leaders or outstanding students.

The adults surrounding the area were either talent scouts from various companies or even senior executives visiting in person.

Just to meet the winners firsthand.

At any time, distinguished students who haven’t graduated yet are the most scarce resources in this universe.

Throughout the history of the Federation, high-end talent has always been in severe shortage.

Dawn Academy does not oppose such approaches, as academies and enterprises have always complemented each other.

“Yesterday, Zhong Pinren met with three companies on Capital Star, with the highest starting annual salary offered reaching a million Star Coins! The crucial thing is that all three promised to resolve the permanent residency on Capital Star, which makes people green with envy. That guy is just a country boy from a distant region in the third Star District.”

“It’s a chance to rise to the top instantly. Finally understand what the seniors meant by not being too picky. If I had known, I would have signed up too.”

“You think you’d be chosen? What a joke; the dean isn’t blind.”

The discussions in the stand and preparation seating sections reached a fever pitch.

After resting yesterday, the students were eagerly anticipating today’s competition!

The match hadn’t started yet, but the atmosphere was already incredibly heated.

This time, Mu Fan was not in the Fighting preparation area.

He was sitting in the front row of the stands, with White Hair and others equally excited beside him.

“From today, the rules will change as the competition progresses, which essentially means the difficulty increases, and the participants face higher demands, but the excitement of the competition also increases.”

White Hair, looking at his Light Computer tablet with concentrated excitement, spoke.

“Starting now, the order for Mecha battles will be fixed in advance, greatly curbing the element of luck from psychological battles between opponents.”

“Hahaha, see that? I’m going first. Old Bach is really something.”

“Bach Tutor is watching you,” the chubby one chimed in quietly.

White Hair immediately shrank his neck in fear, “I didn’t say anything.”

Hahahaha!

Instantly, laughter erupted around them, and the embarrassed White Hair would have jumped across Mu Fan if he weren’t in the way.

Adjusting his posture, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in White Hair’s eyes.

“But they’ve also changed the fighting matches by shortening the rest time. The first round of selections already eliminated a large number of weaker-option academies, and now if there’s not enough stamina, it’s tough to do a one-person carousel battle, pushing each academy to compete on overall strength.”

“Sigh, Mu Fan, what do you think about Tutor Bach temporarily changing your Fighting match slot to an open slot? There won’t be any problems, will there?”

“He’s worried my performance in Fighting might affect the Mecha game, given that Mecha’s weight is greater.”

Mu Fan’s eyes were focused on the fight below; last night, Black had conducted a thorough search again and found that the force tracking him had vanished without a trace, leaving no sign to follow.

However, Black had increased the level of protection against information leakage by two levels, with over 60% of resources now devoted to counter-surveillance and counter-tracking.

He believed that since they had gone to such lengths last time, they wouldn’t give up until they came for him.

“The competition is officially starting! In Arena 03, both sides please prepare to enter the arena.”

“Jixing Academy—versus—Dingchuan Academy, let me hear your cheers!”
