Chapter 2: Jiahao's Scientific Research
After going out.
"Hey, how did the interview go? Was it difficult?" Lu Mingfei leaned over and asked.
Beside him, Zhao Menghua snorted dismissively. What kind of person is Lu Mingfei, asking about the difficulty of interview questions?
Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lin Tuo, then quickly looked away.
Apart from Lu Mingfei.
Most of the students at Shilan Secondary School were well aware of the significance of this external school interview; returning would mean becoming a returnee from overseas, so they were all slightly nervous.
He was a classic example of saying one thing but meaning another, but in reality, he was already waiting for Linto's evaluation and had already hummed it out.
"It's difficult, very difficult."
Linto nodded.
At the same time, he touched his pocket and felt its cold, hard texture, which told him that this reward was extraordinary—not blueprints, but technology or materials.
Thank goodness this is only the first phase of the mission; otherwise, when the rewards are distributed later, I'd need a private garage to store them all...
We need to think of a way to make money.
Oh no, it seems like it's been corrupted a bit?
Evil capitalism!
"Is it that difficult...?"
Lu Mingfei shook his head and sighed helplessly, "It seems I won't be able to pass either."
"Let me tell you something you don't know," Zhao Menghua said, glancing at his wrist. "It's time."
Like a stag pointing to a clock.
Three minutes later.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya's interviews were swift and decisive, leaving Zhao Menghua, who was known as Xiao Chu Zihang, the top English speaker at Shilan High School, looking completely bewildered.
"Linto, I... I understand you now," Zhao Menghua murmured to himself, leaving with regret.
Linto: "..."
Chen Wenwen was the next to go on stage, and she lasted an unexpectedly long time, a full fifteen minutes.
She ran away from the scene crying.
The next one, and the last one.
"Lu Mingfei... never mind, you must be the famous Fei, right?" Ye Sheng poked his head out and asked.
Lu Mingfei: "?"
Although Lu Mingfei didn't quite understand why Ye Sheng would say such a thing, even though it sounded like something out of a Night City NPC quest: "You must be the famous V," he still moved forward and went inside.
While Lu Mingfei went in for his interview, Lin Tuo slowly took off his external prosthetic device, "Oracle," and held it between his fingers, then slipped his fingers into his pocket.
After a moment, I picked it up again and put it on my eyes.
The information that had not yet been confirmed to have been received finally appeared in view.
[1. Prosthetic Body: Schenwistan (Early Release)]
[Effect: Increases neural reaction speed to six times its original speed, which can be considered as slowing down time by 80%.]
2. Materials: One pound of vibranium
[Effect: Unparalleled shock absorption, allowing your Iron Man suit to withstand falls from tens of thousands of meters without injury.]
Linto: "..."
Is this palm-sized thing S.A.W.S.?
After confirming that he had received the information, Linto stared at the spinal model he was holding in his hand with great hesitation. Was this thing really meant for human use?
He didn't immediately connect it to the spine, but instead pinched the vibranium.
Just as he guessed, vibranium is fundamentally different from any known metal in the real world.
It is cold, dense, and yet possesses a wondrous sense of life.
The surface is extremely smooth, almost down to the molecular level, with no perceptible particles or roughness.
It is clearly very hard, but it feels incredibly "soft" to the touch. This softness is not due to the material itself, but rather to its amazing ability to absorb vibrations and kinetic energy, as if it were silent.
And now this thing has appeared in Linto's hands!
"It could be fused with other metals to create a Captain America shield, but unfortunately, the weight is still a bit short of what's needed to create a suit."
"I can try to put this Sianweistein on my person when I get back, so that I'll also have someone with 'time zero'."
Linto muttered to himself silently.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Today's scene has truly broken the hearts of many students. After being told to wait for further notice, many turned around and left immediately, including the group of nobles from Shilan.
The hotel waiter stared in surprise at the man in front of him whose lips sometimes moved and whose face sometimes showed deep thought.
After a while, they also entered a state of deep thought.
One and a half minutes later.
"Phew...it's been mailed..."
Lu Mingfei sighed and looked towards the waiting room.
Several waiters and Linto sat on the sofa, looking thoughtful.
Lu Mingfei: "..."
"Why are you all making the same face as Brother Tuozi?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded.
The Time Stop series, right?
"Oh, oh."
The waiter immediately realized, "Note: You don't need to do the same as me in front of the screen."
Seeing the waiters leave, Lu Mingfei finally had an opportunity to talk to Lin Tuo.
"Brother Tuo," Lu Mingfei looked at Lin Tuo, "where did you go wrong?"
"The last one," Linto said calmly.
"Indeed, these amazing examiners were just making things difficult for us guys. I'm planning to repeat a year and prepare for next year's college entrance exam." Lu Mingfei sighed, "The only pity is…"
No sound was heard falling.
"Lu Mingfei, come with me to the hardware store later."
Linto suddenly sat up straight and took out a black face mask from his pocket.
"What does it mean?"
Lu Mingfei's expression froze for a moment: "What is this mask?"
"Take it off, and I am Linto. Put it on, and I am Alan Walker." Linto slowly put the black mask on his face, his clear eyes as calm as water: "Let's get some metal products. I'm going to start making Iron Man suits."
...
Thousands of miles away, on the other side of the ocean.
USA.
Inside a magnificent hotel.
"Ye Sheng, what did you say? A mere ordinary student from Binhai City, China, knows all about you and Jiu Deyaji?"
Guderian gripped the phone, his expression one of shock. This was the first time the broad-shouldered German had felt utterly powerless and helpless: "Is the message true?"
"Indeed." Ye Sheng's voice was incredibly resolute on the other end of the phone.
What's his name?
"Linto, a student wearing a mechanical prosthetic eye."
Ye Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "We don't know why he did this. Maybe it's for fun, or maybe he has other plans."
"I suspect that these interview details were told to us by someone else through him..."
"In any case, bringing Kassel College on board was the right thing to do." Guderian nodded, holding his phone between his shoulder and ear. "And what was Lu Mingfei's answer?"
"I'll tell you all about this when I get to the United States. It's all printed out," Ye Sheng said.
"Okay, I will have Masashi Tomiyama come to China to inspect these two new students in advance."
Guderian let out a deep breath: "Sigh! Mingfei, as expected, being with an S-rank is so different. I'm really looking forward to meeting him more and more, hahaha..."
"beep."
In front of the screen.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya exchanged a glance, speechless.
But at the same time, a deep unease welled up in my heart.
If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is likely to happen soon.
