After bidding farewell to Bailizhou and his group, Leng Ran walked into the cafeteria in a rather cheerful mood. Indeed, eating and sleeping were the two things in her life that brought her the most joy.

The restaurant here also operates on a buffet style. Leng Ran got some food and found a quiet spot with He Xiting and Yue Qiufeng to sit down together. They only had an hour and a half for lunch break, and in the afternoon they needed to attend a mandatory mecha training course for individual soldiers.

Leng Ran hurriedly buried herself in her food, while Yue Qiufeng, who was usually quiet, also ate silently. The entire table was unusually quiet, which made the usually lively He Xiting feel somewhat out of place.

He suddenly began to miss Gao Xiao. Although that guy always looked down on him, at least he still had the presence of a living person.

He Xiting listened intently to the conversation that came from the next table.

"Have you heard about this year's military academy league? It's still only open to students below the fourth grade, and each school has two thousand spots."

"Two thousand... I guess those who go to participate are all third and fourth year students, so there's nothing for us second year students to do."

"But I heard that in order to avoid the league being monopolized by the third and fourth graders in the past, a new rule has been introduced this year. If each grade can send 500 people to participate, the military academy will receive an extra 500 bonus points!"

"Hey, doesn't that mean we have a chance?"

"I doubt it. This year's captain will probably go to Baili Zhou in the fourth year. He's always been arrogant and only keeps the 'elites' around him. He wouldn't give up his spot to a lower grade just for 500 points."

He Xiting nudged Leng Ran: "Ali, do you want to participate in the military academy league?"

She swallowed the food in her mouth coldly: "Too much trouble, I'm not interested."

He Xiting rested his chin on his hand: "But Storm Military Academy will give participating students a lot of points. As long as you participate, you will have a base score of one thousand points, with no upper limit."

Leng Ran paused: "What do you mean by 'no upper limit'?"

He Xiting counted on his fingers: "The overall champion gets 3,000 points for everyone. The team captain for the map competition gets an extra 3,000 points. The team captain gets an extra 1,000 points. The first place in the individual or team competition gets 3,000 points... well, in short, it's quite a lot. The accumulated points rewards are frighteningly high."

Speaking of points, Leng Ran's only current point income is the reward she received during the entrance exam. As for the hunting battle on Anning Star, due to the sudden attack of the alien beasts, Instructor Ouyang, who organized the competition, died in battle to save them, and Leng Ran was unwilling to mention the point system to the school anymore.

However, she still needs to earn 10,000 points to pay next year's rent. If the military academy league could earn an unlimited number of points, that would indeed be a good opportunity.

She set a small goal first: to get 50,000 points in the military academy league, and then she would never have to worry about points again.

He slammed the empty bowl on the table with a cold thud: "It's decided, I'm going to bring glory to the school!"

He Xiting said happily, "I want to too! The selection requirements should be released in the next few days, and we can participate in the selection together!"

Yue Qiufeng also put down his chopsticks: "Together, I'll go too."

He Xiting nodded repeatedly: "Great! I hope we can all be selected!"

With high hopes for the league selection, the three boarded a public hovercar and arrived at the mecha training ground.

The mecha training ground is divided into two parts. One part is an open-air mecha practice area connected to a mecha warehouse housing training mechas. The other part is indoors, containing many simulation training pods jointly developed by the military and Longtian Group.

Although the freshmen have already been exposed to real mechs on Anning Star and even actually piloted them in combat, most of the mech skills training at the military academy is still conducted through simulators, allowing students to use the powerful firepower equipment on the mechs without any worries.

As soon as Leng Ran and the other two entered the room, they saw Wei Shenghuang sitting to the side, affectionately stroking the simulation pod.

He Xiting exclaimed, "Major General Wei Sheng, what are you doing here?"

Wei Shenghuang looked up and casually glanced at the three of them, not recognizing any of them: "New students, here for mecha training? Just call me Instructor Wei Sheng."

Leng Ran was surprised: "Instructor Weisheng?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Wei Shenghuang stared at Leng Ran for a while before finally recognizing him: "Mo Li?"

Leng Ran then realized that Wei Shenghuang had not recognized her at all. She knew that Wei Shenghuang was somewhat face-blind and had not recognized Instructor Ouyang before, but she did not expect it to be this serious.

They've only been apart for a little over a week!

He smiled coldly: "It's me, Mo Li. Instructor Wei Sheng, I thought you had already returned to the military headquarters."

Wei Shenghuang sighed: "You know about Nirvana's situation. Reorganizing Nirvana requires waiting for the military to allocate manpower, which will probably take quite a while. I had nothing to do, and I happened to receive an invitation from Instructor Song, saying that there is a league this year and he hopes I can come and give some guidance, so I came back."

He nodded coldly: "I see."

“Until your roster is finalized, I will temporarily serve as the head instructor for your first-year individual combat department.” Wei Shenghuang smiled. “Actually, I’m quite happy to be able to interact with you energetic juniors more often.”

He Xiting said with emotion, "We are also very happy to have an instructor like you!"

That smile quickly froze on her lips. When the training course officially began and Wei Shenghuang activated her devilish instructor mode, she became a completely different person.

Today's training mission is simple: face off against Instructor Weisheng, who drives a master-level "God of War" vehicle.

The mission's alias is: Confront Your Fears.

The mission is simple: just keep dying under Instructor Wei's sword.

Wei Shenghuang sheathed her lightsaber: "Tsk, such poor aim, can't even hit at this distance, that little green one!"

"You're too fast, I can't even see you..." He Xiting, who had been killed by Wei Shenghuang with a single blow, sat up from the simulation pod with a pale face. "Also, Instructor Wei Sheng, my name isn't Xiao Lü, it's He Xiting."

"Your Hou Yi, a sniper mech, if it can't kill the enemy with one shot, it'll only be killed by the enemy." Wei Shenghuang also got up from the simulator. "Little Green, take a rest, we'll continue! Next up is..."

Yue Qiufeng raised his hand expressionlessly: "I'm Xiao Fen, Instructor Wei Sheng, it's my turn."

Seeing Yue Qiufeng, who had a straight face, solemnly say, "I am Xiaofen," Leng Ran couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Wei Shenghuang's gaze immediately fell upon him: "Mo Li, would you like to try it first?"

Leng Ran's fighting spirit was ignited: "Alright, I've been wanting to spar with Instructor Wei Sheng for a long time!"
