Chapter 51 - 51 51 Personality

51: Chapter 51 Personality 51: Chapter 51 Personality “Su Ming, do you really think those dumbasses can handle controlling the spaceship?

What if it gets blown up before we even land on Earth Flame Star?

Wouldn’t we end up with zero points?”

Chen Tong asked with some worry, truly lacking confidence in that bunch of idiots.

“If we’re really that unlucky, there’s nothing I can do about it.

But we’ve been much luckier than others.

After all, we have the Mechas.

As long as the spaceship can reach near orbit or the atmosphere of Earth Flame Star, we can forcibly detach and crash-land.”

Su Ming analyzed the situation rationally.

“Makes sense!”

Zhao Ran agreed, following up.

“Hurry and run!”

Su Ming kept increasing his speed as he dashed forward, and for a moment Zhao Ran and Chen Tong struggled to keep up.

“What’s going on?

Su Ming, why are you running so fast?”

Chen Tong immediately felt something was off and asked.

“Eh?

It’s not too bad.”

Su Ming was also slightly taken aback, suddenly realizing he had become super sensitive in every respect, without the previous sense of encumbrance.

“What do you mean not too bad, are you cheating or what?”

Chen Tong couldn’t believe it.

He knew that when it came to running for their lives before, Su Ming had always been the slowest drag.

Su Ming took a deep breath, suppressing the joy in his heart, and calmly said to Chen Tong and the others.

“It’s nothing strange.

We’re all using simulation pods; it’s not our bodies that are running, but our consciousness.

That’s why my fat body isn’t slowing me down anymore.”

“I see.”

Chen Tong immediately caught on.

“Alright, we need to speed up to the arsenal.

If we’re the first to get there, maybe we can pick out the best Mecha.”

Su Ming said to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tong and Zhao Ran instantly perked up and sped up to follow Su Ming.

It didn’t take long for Su Ming and the others to catch up with Lin Chuyu and the rest who were in front of them.

“Su Ming.”

At that moment, Lin Chuyu also noticed Su Ming catching up and greeted him with a slightly surprised expression.

“Yep.”

Su Ming nodded slightly to Lin Chuyu in response.

Right then, Li Fubai, who was beside Lin Chuyu, saw her take the initiative to greet Su Ming, and his eyes darkened a bit, though he didn’t say anything.

They ran all the way to the arsenal.

Before long, Su Ming and the others rushed into the arsenal.

They were instantly deeply shocked by the scene before them.

The entire arsenal covered an area of more than two hundred thousand square meters, with a soaring height of 30 meters, and the ceiling was embedded with rows of sliding crane rails.

Three hundred units of First Generation Mecha·Iron Head were neatly arrayed in rows, all secured by steel fixtures.

This way, no matter how much the spaceship shook, the Mechas wouldn’t tilt.

In the corners of the arsenal were weapon racks and ammunition shelves, filled with various firearms and ammunition used by the Mechas.

At the same time, in the arsenal, there were also several large maintenance machines.

“So many Mechas!”

Zhao Ran shouted excitedly.

“They’re all Iron Heads, no difference.

We can just hop onto any of them!”

Su Ming quickly scanned the Mechas at the scene and noticed there were no Second Generation Mechas.

So he didn’t fuss anymore and immediately led the two towards the nearest Iron Head Mecha.

Lin Chuyu also dashed towards an Iron Head Mecha, but she deliberately avoided the three that Su Ming had chosen.

As for Gu Meng and the others who came in later, they also deliberately avoided Su Ming and his companions.

After all, there had been conflicts before, and now it was time for the city exam.

They didn’t want to start a conflict at this time and ruin their prospects.

Soon, Su Ming rushed to the Iron Head Mecha with the number NO.1.

He was very efficient with his movements, climbing the entry ladder next to the fixing rack and swiftly making his way up to the pilot’s cabin.

Then, Su Ming opened the cockpit of the Mecha and skillfully climbed in.

At the same time, Lin Chuyu and the others also climbed into their Mechas and quickly closed the cockpits.

Inside the cockpit, Su Ming glanced at the control panel.

He noticed the metal controls were no different from a real machine, so he quickly followed the procedure to start the Mecha.

Zzz~

In an instant, the eyes of Su Ming’s Mecha lit up first, followed by Lin Chuyu, Li Fubai, and the others.

At this point, many Mecha Department students also rushed into the arsenal.

Seeing one Mecha after another, they shouted excitedly.

“Mecha!”

They rushed toward the Iron Head Mecha in a frenzy.

Su Ming simply glanced at the other examinees who had arrived and immediately dismissed them, turning his attention to the control screen.

He began checking the mecha’s parameters and equipment, eager to grasp the performance of the mecha he was handling as quickly as possible.

“Power fuel rod: 100%”

“Damage level: 0%”

“Auxiliary jet device module: Equipped.”

“Handheld weapon: Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade.”

“Handheld thermal weapon module: Not equipped.”

“Ammunition chamber: 0%”

Su Ming, looking at the displayed parameters, instantly felt reassured.

This Iron Head Mecha just lacked weapons and the relevant ammunition—it was all set with fuel and auxiliary jet devices.

At this point, many students who had boarded their mechas started to grumble.

“What the hell, no ammunition filled!

Where’s the logistics personnel?”

“Where’s logistics?”

“What are you shouting for?

In a rush to get reborn?”

At that moment, a male student dressed in a maintenance uniform responded irritably.

Everyone turned to look at the male student, seeing the conspicuous tag above his head, “Logistics Maintenance Personnel·Zheng Yu.”

“Hey, what kind of way is that to talk?”

The pilot students sprayed Zheng Yu with complaints.

“I’ll talk however I damn please, I’ve already taken enough crap from the officers, why should I have to put up with you?” Zheng Yu replied unhappily.

“Stop arguing and load my ammunition quickly, don’t waste time.”

Li Fubai yelled impatiently.

“Am I your dad or what?

You think I’ll just load it because you say so?

Why the hell should I do that for you?”

Zheng Yu retorted with annoyance.

“You don’t care about your score, do you?”

Li Fubai, suppressing his irritation, said sternly.

“Uh.”

For a moment, Zheng Yu was at a loss for words; his task was logistics and maintenance, and loading ammunition and equipping weapons for the mechas did affect his score.

“Excuse me, could you please help me load the ammunition?”

Lin Chuyu asked very politely.

Zheng Yu’s eyes lit up and then he said to Li Fubai,

“I want a score, but I’m not loading for you, I’ll load for the lady.”

“You…”

Li Fubai was nearly exploding with anger, but it wasn’t appropriate to lash out; he could only turn and look for another logistics student.

“Thank you.”

Lin Chuyu expressed her gratitude politely.

“No need to thank me, miss.

Tell me what weapon you want, I’ll pick it for you!” Zheng Yu said, eager to help.

“Could you please look for weapons like the Electromagnetic Gun?”

Lin Chuyu made her request.

She remembered clearly that in the Earth Flame Star campaign, the enemy consisted of the Mechanical Clan, and electromagnetic weapons were the most effective against them.

“No problem, miss.

You wait here; I’ll go check for you.”

Zheng Yu replied cheerfully, and then ran toward the nearby weapons racks, looking for a good weapon.
