Ye Zhizhou, who had already gone blind, spoke a lot of kind words to appease the angry Tongtian. He didn't dare to tease it anymore and obediently started reading the plot information.
After entering the academy, the protagonist was assigned to a four-person dormitory with the alpha twin grandsons of the mecha manufacturing master Brenda Leed, Kijita Leed and Annot Leed, and the mediocre beta Pansy Chetheldan from a small family. The protagonist was cheerful and quickly got acquainted with the twins, who were two of the male leads in this world. Due to his personality, Pansy gradually became a background figure in the dormitory.
Soon, the new student training began, and the protagonist was unfortunate enough to be assigned to the squad of the third male lead, Devil Instructor Ned Jenkins. He was subjected to intense training day after day, which was beyond grueling. The protagonist's robust physical fitness gradually caught the attention of the handsome Uncle Ned, who began to focus on nurturing him. During a sparring session between students and instructors, the protagonist coincidentally discovered that Instructor Ned had hidden mental wounds. Out of sympathy, he secretly used the mental power training methods taught to him by the mecha manufacturing system to treat Instructor Ned.
Instructor Ned quickly noticed the protagonist's actions and the improvement in his own mental state. He was surprised and grateful, paying even more attention to this young student. The twins, seeing the protagonist getting closer to Instructor Ned, felt somewhat uneasy. However, at this time, Pansy came to stir the pot and complained that the protagonist was disturbing their peace by sneaking into the instructor's dormitory every day to treat Instructor Ned. This angered the twins, and Pansy ended up being isolated.
Ye Zhizhou: "..." So why was Pansy isolated?
After the new student training ended, the protagonist and the twins were assigned to the best class, Class A, while Pansy, due to his poor performance during training, was placed in the worst class, Class D.
Although the protagonist was double-majoring, he balanced his academic and leisure time very well and even worked part-time at a mecha parts manufacturing factory during his free time. With the mecha manufacturing system as his cheat, the parts he produced were always much better than others'. Later on, he also keenly discovered an issue with a new type of part, fought stubbornly with the supervisor, and convinced him to modify the part, preventing losses for the factory. This mecha manufacturing factory was just a tiny speck in the mecha kingdom of the Baffton family. The protagonist's discovery saved a large number of upcoming new products by the Baffton family. After hearing about this, the fourth male lead, Carol Baffton, the crown prince of the Baffton family, personally visited the factory to thank the protagonist, and that's how they met.
More than halfway through the semester, the annual cross-grade training began vigorously. The protagonist, thinking it had nothing to do with him as a first-year student who hadn't laid a solid foundation, was surprised when the second male lead, Chris Pali, the second prince of the empire who was in his second year at the Command Department, invited him to join the mecha repair team for their squad. The protagonist agreed to the invitation and quickly gained the trust of Chris's teammates with his solid mecha manufacturing knowledge.
In this competition, the protagonist gained significant recognition and was then noticed by the twins' grandfather, Master Brenda. He was taken in as an apprentice by Master Brenda. With the master as his mentor, the protagonist's mecha manufacturing skills began to advance rapidly. At the end of the semester, to the protagonist's pleasant surprise, Master Brenda registered him for the Junior Mecha Manufacturing Engineer exam. So, during the summer break following his first year of courses, the protagonist set off alone on a spaceship to the examination center.
On the spaceship, he met the disguised leader of the interstellar pirates, the seventh male lead, Egobert Kilivan. The two of them had a pleasant conversation and found that their destinations were surprisingly the same, so they decided to travel together.
Upon arriving at their destination, the two briefly separated. The protagonist went to the examination center for registration, while Egobert went to meet an acquaintance. During dinner, the two met at the designated hotel, where the protagonist was surprised to find that Egobert was injured. He became extremely concerned and wanted to take him to the hospital, but Egobert directly refused. Despite his earnest persuasion, he reluctantly took Egobert to his own room to help bandage his wound. However, to his surprise, the scent of Egobert's blood in his bloodstream stimulated him, and he gradually showed signs of going into heat.
Egobert also sensed that something was amiss and tried to leave but lost control of himself due to the influence of pheromones. The mutual influence of their pheromones led to an increasingly intense situation, and they were on the verge of giving in when suddenly, the door was kicked open. The eighth male lead, Federal General Aldry Bash, who had been chasing after Egobert, burst into the room. Egobert was shocked and, with the sudden clarity of mind brought about by the pheromones, he engaged in a fight with Aldry.
Their battle grew more and more intense, and both of them were injured and bleeding. The protagonist searched for suppressants in his luggage, but to no avail, and his heat symptoms worsened. The two, influenced by their increasingly potent pheromones, gradually stopped fighting. Aldry was the first to succumb to temptation, pouncing on the protagonist and overpowering him. Seeing this, Egobert desperately held onto his last shred of sanity and knocked Aldry unconscious before making a hasty escape. The protagonist took the opportunity to push Aldry aside and locked himself in the bathroom to take a cold shower, attempting to endure this unexpected heat episode on his own.
An hour later, Aldry regained consciousness and, unable to control himself, smashed open the bathroom door, only to be drenched in cold water. His rationality began to return, and he stumbled out of the bathroom. He called his subordinates to bring suppressants and helped both himself and the protagonist overcome this difficult situation. This was how the two of them became acquainted.
After this incident, Aldry returned to the Federation and arranged for the pursuit of Egobert. The protagonist, still shaken by the experience, participated in the Junior Mecha Manufacturing Engineer exam with the suppressants provided by Aldry and achieved a perfect score, obtaining the certification.
The summer break ended, and the second academic year began. The protagonist's excellence continued to shine, and Master Brenda believed that he had already surpassed the current school curriculum. Thus, he arranged for the protagonist to skip a grade, once again making a name for himself.
Pansy, who was mediocre and struggling academically, became increasingly jealous of the protagonist. During a time when the protagonist was away working at the mecha manufacturing factory, Pansy sneaked into the protagonist's room to steal his notes. Instead, he found the suppressants hidden by the protagonist. Shocked and overjoyed, Pansy promptly reported the discrepancy between the protagonist's enrollment information and his true background to Professor Bel Lacriv, the rival of Master Brenda. Pansy accused the protagonist of falsifying his records.
As a result, the protagonist's secret about his gender was exposed. Despite the efforts of Master Brenda and the male leads to mediate with the school, the protagonist was ultimately expelled. The male leads were deeply saddened and grew to resent the informant, Pansy, making Pansy's days at school increasingly difficult.
The protagonist, who was expelled from school, felt down for a while but quickly recovered. He joined Carol's mecha company as an intern mecha researcher. The other male leads sympathized with his situation and supported him in various ways.
Several years later, the protagonist became the youngest mecha master in history, and his Hurricane Mecha series became immensely popular in both the Empire and the Federation. Alphas were fascinated by him, and omegas saw him as a role model. The Royal Military Academy, which had expelled him, regretted its decision. On the other hand, Pansy, who had reported him, achieved nothing and couldn't even accumulate enough credits to graduate.
Later, a bug swarm outbreak occurred, and the Empire and the Federation cooperated to combat the enemy. The eight male leads gathered for the first time. The war was exceptionally brutal, with heavy losses in the military, and several male leads narrowly escaped death multiple times. In this crisis, the protagonist joined the battlefield with his newly developed super mecha, turning the tide and helping the male leads and the military achieve a desperate counterattack.
After the war subsided, the protagonist became a national idol and a savior. The male leads, having experienced life and death together, saw through many things and stopped competing for his affection. They decided to stay by the protagonist's side together. Touched by their decision, the protagonist entered a relationship with all eight of them.
Great, eight male leads, one more than the Seven Little Fortunes (a reference to a famous group of Chinese martial artists).
Ye Zhizhou continued reading Pansy's ending and fell silent after seeing the words "Fled before the war and was punished by military law." How on earth did the original protagonist, a half-baked mecha engineer who didn't even complete his studies, end up on the frontlines? And how did he manage to escape before the war started? He couldn't operate mechas, let alone warships, so how did he escape?
The music in his earphones continued to soothe his mental state, but its effect was minimal. With the plot being so intense, it was challenging for him to calm down. After digesting the fact that this world had eight male leads, he mentally prepared himself for the impending world destruction.
After the major battle, the Empire and the Federation needed time to recuperate, and the protagonist and the male leads worked tirelessly, facing hardships. Several years later, the bug swarm outbreak occurred again, and it was even larger in scale than before. The battle was reignited, and the protagonist had meticulously developed a new batch of mechas. However, just as the last component was about to be completed, the protagonist was secretly captured and killed by the smarter bug species. The male leads, filled with grief and anger, fought relentlessly on the battlefield, disregarding their own lives. In less than a month, they all fell on the battlefield.
Ye Zhizhou: "..."
With the loss of their main elite forces, the armies of the Empire and the Federation grew increasingly chaotic and lacked morale. The war turned into a one-sided slaughter by the bugs. Desperate for a last hope, the military rushed to perfect the mecha designs left behind by the protagonist and had soldiers pilot the new mechas on the battlefield. However, haste makes waste, and the new mechas experienced sudden malfunctions on the battlefield, leaving the soldiers defenseless against the bug creatures. Upon learning of this, Master Brenda, who had been responsible for improving the mecha designs, took his own life in guilt.
The war turned into a one-sided slaughter by the bugs, and within a few years, the Empire and the Federation were wiped out. Humanity was nearly extinct, and the once beautiful and prosperous planet had been devoured by the greedy bug species, leaving nothing but desolation.
Ye Zhizhou couldn't believe what he was reading and repeatedly reviewed the information, dumbfounded. Everyone died? After the major battle, instead of living a peaceful life, they quickly got involved in another war and died again? This plot... So, the early glory of the protagonist and the male leads was just to make their deaths more tragic?
He wiped his face, leaned back in his chair, and stared blankly for a while. He tapped the small mirror and angrily muttered in his mind, "How is the protagonist related to the world's destruction in this world? It's not an NP (nuclear program) destroying the world, right? Clearly, the destruction of this world has nothing to do with NP! Are you sure the plot information isn't wrong?"
[System has provided all the information. Please trust the system.]
"..." How could he trust this! He still remembered the previous world's plot information that was completely opposite to the facts!
