The moment the thought appeared in his mind, Tang Tian immediately shook his head and denied that conclusion.
After all, he was an engineer who had participated in the maintenance of the Ursa Major Mecha and even repaired an entire Flashing Star Mecha by himself. How could he be inferior to a fledgling student?!
The Ursa Major Mecha was the strongest mecha belonging to the Mukda Federation government. It was also the only Ursa Major Mecha.
To the Mukda Federation government, that battle mecha was their ultimate weapon. It was the ultimate weapon used to intimidate the enemy forces!
However, the Mukda Federation government’s only Galactic Mecha had damaged an important core during a battle with an Alien Beast. It could no longer be activated.
Fortunately, the matter of the battle mecha being damaged had been suppressed and not leaked to the public.
After the war, the Mukda Federation government had secretly gathered countless top engineers, Tang Tian being one of them.
Unfortunately, after the hard work of countless engineers, this great killing machine still had not been repaired.
Qin Yue looked at Tang Tian, who was standing on the spot, once again in deep thought, and said softly.
“Teacher, let’s go!”
Wang Yangming nodded and led a group of students directly out of the mecha maintenance room.
…
A day had passed since Qin Yue left the mecha maintenance room behind.
During that one day, the news that Qin Yue had repaired a mecha that even Tang Tian, a master mechanic, could not do anything about was spread by the students.
After a short day, most of the people in the Mecha Academy had already found out what had happened.
“Hey, Meng De, aren’t you learning mecha maintenance? Is what happened with that freshman prodigy Qin Yue true?”
“Of course. I was there yesterday. Even though I was a few hundred meters away, I saw it clearly!” Meng De said with certainty.
“It’s as if we aren’t allowed to learn mecha maintenance anymore!”
“This morning, those of us who learned how to repair mecha were berated by our teacher for the entire morning as he talked nonstop about Qin Yue’s mecha battle. Our ears are going deaf!”
Another mecha maintenance student said with a face full of worry.
“TSK, the same happened to use mecha pilots. This morning, our teacher was saying that our best students aren’t even as good at mecha maintenance as Qin Yue!”
“There are more than a hundred people in our class. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard it this morning!”
“However, this new student named Qin Yue is a real freak. He has been in the academy for less than a month, but he’s already behaving like he’s been in the Academy for a year!”
A student said that calmly while his expression was filled with envy.
At the same time, in Qin Yue’s elite class.
Wang Yangming stood on the podium, his expression solemn as he slowly spoke.
“The Academy has received a notice that you elite class students will be sent to the Desolate Star Trial tomorrow in groups of five!”
“I believe all of you know how dangerous the Desolate Star is!”
“The universe’s bandits, hostile factions, and Alien Beasts are all there and are extremely dangerous. All of you must be careful!”
During the Desolate Star Trial, once one encounters unknown dangers along the way, one will not receive reinforcements. If they could not resolve the danger, they could only await their deaths!
The moment Wang Yangming’s voice fell, no one came out to raise any doubts.
This was because these students who had entered the elite class knew that sooner or later, they would face the Desolate Star Trial. They had long been prepared.
Yet now that they were told that they were about to face such a dangerous trial, no one could be said to be fully prepared for it.
For a moment, other than Qin Yue, Ling Ru and the others were surprised. They felt depressed as doubt surrounded everyone’s minds.
“This is the crucible where you will be transformed into real Mecha Pilots. Now, I’ll be calling up your team names!”
Wang Yangming’s expression was a little somber. After all, during the process of training, there were bound to be people who would not make it back.
Soon, after these students regained their composure, they began to look for teammates.
Qin Yue was also kept his original promise. He formed a team with Ling Ru, Wang Jun, Tang Lin, and Li Yanyan.
The students in the class naturally knew that since the five of them usually had a good relationship, so no one asked them to form a team.
Soon, the thirty-five people formed seven teams.
After Wang Chongyang sorted out the list of teams, he took a card from his pocket and went straight to Qin Yue.
“Qin Yue, this is one million Star Dollars. It’s the reward that Tang Tian asked me to pass on to you after you repaired the mecha.”
Star Dollars were the common currency of all humans.
Although Qin Yue was surprised by this unexpected fortune, he still accepted it calmly.
“Thank you, teacher.”
“No need to thank me. You deserve it,” Wang Chongyang waved his hand and said calmly.
A million Star Dollars was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for the current Qin Yue.
With that money, he could fulfill his promise to not let Qin Yu go to the mecha junkyard to pick up spare parts.
In the evening, Qin Yue returned home and had a warm dinner with her sister before their short farewell.
When they were about to finish eating, Qin Yue took out the card and pushed it in front of Qin Yu.
“Xiaoyu, there’s a million Star Dollars in this card. With this money, you don’t have to pick up those abandoned mech parts anymore.”
“A million… Star Dollars?!”
Qin Yu blinked her eyes, her small face full of disbelief.
Obviously, she found it hard to accept that Qin Yue had such a huge amount of money.
“Brother, with such a huge amount of money, did you do something bad?” Qin Yu asked anxiously.
*thud!*
When he saw the little girl’s expression, Qin Yue was both angry and amused. He immediately gave her a cheeky knock to the head.
“What are you thinking about! This is what your brother earned with my mecha maintenance skills.”
When she heard this, Qin Yu did not doubt Qin Yue’s words in the slightest. She happily put away the card.
“By the way, you’ll be staying here by yourself for some time. The school is arranging for us to go through a trial, so I won’t be returning for a while.”
Qin Yu was originally still immersed in the joy of her brother earning a large sum of money but when she heard that Qin Yue was going out for a trial, her expression changed. Two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks without her realizing it.
“The trial must be very dangerous, right…?
“But I believe that Big Brother will be able to return safely!”
As Qin Yu’s tears flowed out of her eyes, she forced a smile out of reluctance.
“Xiaoyu, of course your big brother be alright. Don’t worry.”
Qin Yue reached out and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
“It’s getting late. Xiaoyu, go get some rest.”
Qin Yue looked at the pitch-black sky outside the window and said softly.
“Brother… You’re the best. No matter what trial it is, it definitely won’t be a problem for you!”
Qin Yu stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She immediately put on a happy expression and encouraged him.
…
The next day arrived very quickly.
At Mecha Academy, in the principal’s office…
Tang Tian sat opposite the principal and excitedly talked about how Qin Yue had repaired the mecha previously.
“Principal, after the incident, I brought out the problem with this mecha and asked the repairman who had studied and repaired the Ursa Major Mecha with me previously. However, the answers they gave me were either wrong or they all kept quiet!”
“This is sufficient to show that this student, Qin Yue, is extremely proficient in the field of mecha maintenance. He might be a repairman of the same level as me, and might even have knowledge that surpasses mine.”
“Principal, do you think we can let Qin Yue try to repair our federation’s ultimate mecha? Otherwise, once the news gets out, hostile forces will take the opportunity to deal with us. When the time comes, it will be a devastating blow to us.. Perhaps the entire Mukda Federation government might be swallowed up!”
