“As expected, I can’t hide anything from you, teacher.”
Qin Yue scratched his head awkwardly and smiled as he spoke slowly.
“We obtained some precious mecha parts from the intergalactic pirate’s mecha.”
“It just so happens that our mecha are a little damaged. Teacher, I hope that you can give us a mecha maintenance room to use.”
After hearing Qin Yue’s request, Wang Yangming hesitated.
If it was in the Mecha Academy, he could let Qin Yue and the others use the maintenance room with just a word.
However, in this desolate planet’s mobile fortress, he did not know many people and his connections were not very wide.
It was difficult to let Qin Yue and the others use the mecha maintenance room as they pleased.
‘It’s a little difficult, but I’ll use this old face of mine to give it a try’ Wang Yangming thought to himself.
“Alright, only because it’s you, Qin Yue. If it was anyone else, I wouldn’t even have bothered. Wait here. I’ll be back in a while.”
As soon as he finished, Wang Yangming walked away slowly.
As he looked at Wang Yangming walk off, Qin Yue smiled and said, “Thank you, teacher!”
After Wang Yangming left, Li Yanyan had a curious look on his face. She could not wait to ask Qin Yue about the purpose of the request to use the mecha maintenance room.
“Brother Qin Yue, how do you modify your mecha?”
“You little girl, what, you still don’t know about the modification of mecha?”
“If I explain it, will you understand?” added Ling Ru, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Qin Yue smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, “It’s fine. I’ll use words that you can understand to explain it briefly.”
Qin Yue paused for a moment, sorted out his train of thought, and then continued.
“Modification, of course, will make the mecha stronger than it was before.
“However, there are many ways to modify mecha.
“I’m more inclined to focus on making mine light and agile. Reducing the energy wastage will also improve the mecha’s overall performance.”
The members of the team instantly understood Qin Yue’s preferences, but their expressions did not show it. They were clearly shocked by Qin Yue’s preferred choice of mecha modifications.
Although Qin Yue had only used a few short sentences to summarize it, they still knew how difficult it was.
Most of the modifications that they were familiar with were to ignore the weak points of the mecha itself and to instead strengthen the inherent characteristics of the mecha itself.
For example, if it was an Assault-type mecha, then it would be heavily modified with greater strength and improve its speed. However, it would have to give up on defense and firepower.
There were quite a number of people who had tried all aspects of strengthening and modifying yet very few people had succeeded. Even the successful ones did not have very satisfactory results.
However, when it came to Qin Yue, Ling Ru and the others seemed to already have a strong, but also blind, confidence that he would succeed.
Thus, a few of them started to look forward to his work.
After Qin Yue had modified the mecha, what kind of transformation would it undergo?
Not long after, Wang Yangming leisurely returned.
From afar, Qin Yue saw the look of joy on his face.
It was estimated that the maintenance room matter was most likely successful.
As expected, Wang Yangming quickly walked over and told Qin Yue and the others.
“Brat, you guys are lucky. There’s a small maintenance room in the fortress that has just been built not long ago so all the equipment inside is very new. It was also fully outfitted with everything a mecha maintenance expert would need. Most importantly, as it has just been built, no one has arranged to use it for the time being. I used this old face of yours to get it for you guys.
“You guys are allowed to use it until the end of the trial!”
When everyone heard that, they were overjoyed.
Such conditions were perfect. All the equipment was there, and they were even allowed to use it until the end of the trial.
The most important thing was that from Wang Yangming’s tone, that small maintenance room would only be used by a few of them during their time there. The rest would only make arrangements to use it after the trial was over.
In that case, Qin Yue would not have to keep the little girl, Reina, cooped up in the mecha cabin all the time.
However, Qin Yue knew that all of that was possible only due to his mentor.
Otherwise, with their status as students, they would not be qualified to borrow a maintenance room at all.
Following that, Qin Yue hurriedly thanked Wang Yangming.
“Mentor Wang, thank you.
“In light of helping our request for this maintenance room, in the future, if I, Qin Yue, can do anything, I will not decline!”
When Ling Ru and the others heard this, they hurriedly followed Qin Yue and thanked him.
“Hehe, thank you, teacher.”
“Teacher Wang, thank you for your trouble.”
When Wang Yangming heard that, he waved his hand nonchalantly.
“Of course. Who asked you guys to be my students! Moreover, I am also looking forward to seeing how far you guys can grow in the end.”
When he said that, Wang Yangming seemed to have thought of something. He subconsciously looked at Qin Yue and said,
“During this period of time, work hard. After we return to the academy, perhaps the academy will still need to rely on you.”
Qin Yue revealed a puzzled expression. He did not expect that the current him could really help the academy.
However, he really could not think too much about that. What mattered was that he did all he could to help.
“Teacher, what is it?”
Wang Yangming did not say it directly but responded vaguely.
“There’s no rush. I’ll inform you when we return to the Academy. It’s never a bad thing to work hard during this period of growth. Moreover, the Academy won’t ask for your help for nothing, and I won’t either.”
“If there’s anything you need in the future, just say it. Although my old bones aren’t useful on the battlefield anymore, I still have some connections. I can help you with other matters.”
Qin Yue nodded and did not continue to ask.
If the academy really needed his help, it was probably within the scope of what he could do.
That way, whether it was the academy or the teachers, they could all potentially rely on them for favors.
If he had a thorny matter that he could not solve, or if there was something that he could not do, having the academy or the teachers owe him a favor would be quite useful.
Not long after, Wang Yangming left to do his own things.
Qin Yue also brought his squadmates to drive their mecha to the maintenance room that Wang Yangming had mentioned.
Qin Yue and the others looked at the small maintenance room in front of them and were completely stunned.
This maintenance room was as big as two football fields!
They glanced around and saw that the equipment was all there. It was not as crowded and small as they had thought.
Most importantly, there were four luxurious restrooms in this maintenance room.
“This maintenance room is considered small?”
The corner of Qin Yue’s mouth twitched slightly. He had a brand new understanding of the so-called small maintenance room.
However, this also suited his purposes. Not only could he carry out mecha maintenance and modifications here, but he could also rest here.
“Ling Ru, Yanyan, Tang Lin, Junzi, rest for today. We’ll talk about the modifications tomorrow,” Qin Yue said.
“I’ll share a room with Yanyan, Sister Ling Ru has one room, and Wang Jun has one room.”
“The last room is the largest. Little Brother Qin Yue, you take the little girl and stay there.”
Tang Lin gave Qin Yue a cheeky look and hurriedly pulled Ling Ru along. Li Yanyan then entered her room.
Wang Jun followed closely behind and entered his room.
“Reina, go and rest inside!”
“The room we’re resting in is the largest. The sofa inside can even be used as a bed.”
Looking at Reina who had followed him, Qin Yue tried to communicate with her using his mind.
“Ah, this…”
For a moment, Reina was at a loss. This room originally belonged to Qin Yue.
Now that Qin Yue actually gave it to her, she was at a loss.
“The bed is also very big. Why don’t… We sleep together! Don’t worry, I won’t disturb your rest.”
Looking at the helpless little girl, Qin Yue felt amused and could not help but think to himself.
“She’s too innocent!”
