Chapter 269: Have you heard of the Celestial Human Organization?
Wang Qingya tidied up her clothes and went to call Su Huanqing.
Half an hour later.
The restaurant with the best business near the Zhanzheng Academy.
The three of them ordered a full table of dishes.
Sweet and sour pig intestines, steamed pork hock, braised mandarin fish, Mongolian beef meatballs…
All were meat dishes, and of course, they all quite suited Xu Lingjun's taste.
Wang Qingya picked dishes for Xu Lingjun while smiling and said, "I actually really like the food here, it's just that my appetite is too small. I used to not dare to order too much for fear of wasting it if I couldn't finish, and my dad was tight with my pocket money... It's great that you're here, Xiaojun; you have a big appetite, eat more."
As she spoke, she glanced at Su Huanqing, who was eating quietly and seemed embarrassed to look up.
Wang Qingya nudged her and said, "By the way, Xiaoqing, don't just focus on eating. Xiaojun has nowhere to sleep now that he's here. Squeeze into my room and let him have your room to sleep in."
"Eh?"
Su Huanqing exclaimed in surprise, "Why should Xiaojun sleep in my room? Can't the two of you share a room?"
Wang Qingya asked, "Are you sure?"
Su Huanqing wilted instantly, looked away, and mumbled, "At least wait until I move out... The room is small, the soundproofing is bad, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Xu Lingjun was speechless; he finally understood why Su Huanqing was here.
Having advanced to a professor level in education, she naturally couldn't remain at the shabby high school she previously taught at.
She was promoted to the Academy accordingly.
And given her friendship with Wang Qingya, it was only natural for her to volunteer for Zhanzheng Academy.
It was just that it greatly exceeded Xu Lingjun's expectations.
Upon hearing Wang Qingya's suggestion, Xu Lingjun seemed to want to refute, but the thought of what was deliberately placed under his pillow by Teacher Su came to his mind.
Thinking of it, inexplicably, he didn't refuse.
Well... what about Teacher Su's bed? She's not on it, so what's wrong with me sleeping on it?
It's just a pity that I can't raid at night.
That night, sleepless... Xu Lingjun certainly did not use Su Huanqing's pillow or quilt, or those private clothes in the closet, to do anything improper.
Early next morning.
Su Huanqing seemed embarrassed to face Xu Lingjun, so she slipped away early.
Zhong Yuebai also came specially in the morning to invite Xu Lingjun.
With her and Wang Qingya's guidance, after layers of monitoring, the three arrived at the core location of Zhanzheng Academy.
The Research Institute.
The number of people at Zhanzheng Academy was large, even more than the students at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
But here, the number of students suddenly dropped sharply; when they occasionally saw one or two students, they were all in scientific research uniforms, hurrying as if something was chasing them.
All the way inside...
Xu Lingjun saw many weapons he had never encountered before along the way, all kinds of ingenious ideas, making Xu Lingjun involuntarily marvel.
Although they were still in the research stage, just by looking at the development ideas, it made one feel that Zhanzheng Academy's claim to resist half of the attacks from the Polar Star Battlefield was not unfounded.
Xu Lingjun actually knew how to avoid suspicion, understanding that such a place was not where he should be.
But couldn't resist Zhong Yuebai's enthusiasm; whenever she saw a weapon, she passionately explained its concept, origin, and development progress to him.
Leaving Xu Lingjun wanting to cover his ears and shout, "I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear," yet unable to resist wanting to listen...
He had to know that he was no longer the same as before.
During this time, Xu Lingjun practiced martial skills during the day and studied Zhanzheng Academy's courses at night. Although without guidance, he took a lot of Life No.1, making his mind sharp.
Occasionally, he would raise some points of confusion, which all hit the mark, making Zhong Yuebai can't help but be greatly amazed, exclaiming that Xu Lingjun going to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion was truly a waste of his talent.
Wang Qingya was quite pleased; clearly, Xu Lingjun had really taken her advice to heart.
And taking advantage of the opportunity, she brought out the nanometer armor Xu Lingjun handed to him yesterday and gave it to Zhong Yuebai, proposing to ask Instructor Zhong for help in repairing the nanometer armor.
"Mark 50?"
Zhong Yuebai was shocked as she glanced at Wang Qingya and said, "We, the war students, have only developed up to Mark 4. Where did you get a Mark 50?"
"Well..."
Wang Qingya helplessly looked at Xu Lingjun.
Shrugging, my eyes signaled that it wasn't that I didn't want to help you repair it, but rather my abilities were limited and I really needed Instructor Zhong's assistance.
Xu Lingjun returned a look that said leave it to me and seriously said, "Instructor Zhong, have you heard of the Celestial Human Organization?"
"Celestial Human Organization?"
Xu Lingjun said, "That's right, the Celestial Human Organization is committed to scientific research and promoting the common progress of the world, and I barely count as a member of it. This Mark 50 was actually developed by them specifically for me… it's just that I accidentally had a slight mishap and broke the booster of the armor."
"Yeah, broke it pretty badly."
Wang Qingya rolled her eyes at Xu Lingjun, but her eyes were full of tender concern.
She had seen with her own eyes the extent of damage to the battle armor… She almost couldn't stop herself from crying at the time.
The nanometer armor was all deformed.
Though she knew he certainly had a layer of vibranium armor beneath, though she knew his physique was a bit tougher due to Martial Arts Technique training than an average person, though she knew that if he truly encountered a life-and-death crisis, he could still release the Assault Freedom Mecha.
But looking at the damaged state of the nanometer armor, she still excitedly gave Xu Lingjun a full-body inspection.
If it weren't for Su Huanqing being next door and fearing she'd hear something she shouldn't...
The unintentionally teased Xu Lingjun might not have been able to resist proposing a more in-depth checkup.
Just still worried, upon hearing Xu Lingjun's words, Wang Qingya couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.
Thinking about how last time you told me what the Celestial Human Organization was committed to… it wasn't scientific research, was it… right, sounded like world peace?
This kid changes every day, that twisted tongue of his, I simply can't keep up with his pace.
Zhong Yuebai, unaware of Wang Qingya's mental activity, picked up the pendant necklace, carefully inspected it, and had an awe-stricken expression, saying, "I didn't expect there to be such a magical organization in the world, even ahead of our Zhanzheng Academy. Xiaoya, the full-scale battle armor you previously proposed, though each set advances in sequence, each evolves from the previous, so they're all linked. We have to start from the beginning… I didn't expect this Celestial Human Organization to be ahead of everyone."
She looked at Xu Lingjun and asked, "Xu Tongxue, you want to repair this nanometer armor, no problem… but I have a rather presumptuous request. Could you lend me this armor for research? It would undoubtedly greatly aid our study. Obviously, it has no impact on you since we're still at the Mark 4, and there's such a huge gap between yours and ours that we won't catch up anyway."
"Uh…"
Xu Lingjun showed a troubled expression.
Wang Qingya explained, "Instructor, you might not know this armor is identity-bound. Except for Xiaojun, replacing us wouldn't be able to unlock this nanometer armor. You certainly can research it, but Xiaojun can't stay at the Zhanzheng Academy for long."
"I see, then Xiaoya, you can research on my behalf since you two are together all the time, your time should suffice, right?"
Zhong Yuebai smiled and said, "As for repairs, no problem, we have plenty of nanomaterials, so we can just use nanomaterials for repairs when the time comes… but let's first look at the mecha, as I still have many questions I want to ask Xu Tongxue."
Xu Lingjun modestly said, "It's nothing."
"It's something, after all, Xu Tongxue could very well be backed by a major organization."
Zhong Yuebai thoughtfully looked at Wang Qingya and smiled, "Xiaoya's previous construction of the mecha, it seemed the Celestial Human Organization provided quite a bit of help, didn't they? Anyway, that explains all the doubts."
Wang Qingya shyly smiled.
Thought to herself, doubts?
There are simply too many doubts, Instructor Zhong, I really don't understand how you explained it, I can't even explain it myself.
But it's fine as long as she believes it.
Wang Qingya took Xu Lingjun's hand, following behind Zhong Yuebai… all the way to the innermost area.
Then, they saw the latest development, the mecha.
Xu Lingjun was immediately stunned, amazed, "Assault Mecha!"
Indeed, that giant robot.
The shape was exactly like the Assault Mecha Xu Lingjun had once told Wang Qingya about.
To think it took less than a year…
Sister Yaya actually managed to build it so beautifully, even making the Assault Mecha.
Facing the astonished gaze of Xu Lingjun, Wang Qingya shyly said, "The inspiration mainly came from you, I'm just replicating you."
Xu Lingjun then understood.
Wang Qingya had probably attributed all the credit to him, which is why Zhang Zhiheng was so caring and friendly to him, and why Zhong Yuebai valued him so highly.
Sigh, Sister Yaya, I'm not that shallow, you giving me such a reputation makes it difficult for me, really.
Xu Lingjun looked at Wang Qingya with a resentful glance.
Beside him, Zhong Yuebai solemnly said, "The development capabilities of Zhanzheng Academy are indeed astounding, in less than a year, the Zaku series was already able to be deployed in the battlefield, but honestly, the danger level of the Polar Star Battlefield is too high for what the Zaku can handle, so we've already begun focusing all efforts on developing the mecha series… but to begin research has revealed the many differences between mecha and Zaku, the unresolved issues are indeed numerous, Xu Tongxue, we need your guidance."
Hearing this, Xu Lingjun slightly calmed his heart.
Luckily, at least I didn't encounter something unfamiliar.
If it's something I recognize… based on what's in my mind, I shouldn't get exposed.
