Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
=========================
Shrek Academy, Mecha Area.
Looking at those rows of steel giants radiating a metallic luster, Ning Tian's breathing became rapid.
Although she was a support system Spirit Master, it didn't stop her from having a deep interest in these war machines that could greatly enhance survival and combat capabilities.
Especially that Red-rank mecha!
If she owned a Red-rank mecha, her survival ability as a support system Spirit Master would be significantly improved.
Of course, Ning Tian also knew that Red-rank mechas were extremely precious, so she didn't expect that much and shifted her gaze to the Purple-rank Mechas.
"If I could get a Purple-rank Mecha to complement the support of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..."
Ning Tian calculated silently in her heart; for her current self, a Purple-rank Mecha should be the most suitable.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched the Storage Soul Tool on her wrist.
Inside were quite a few gold coins. The academy had even proactively issued her ten thousand gold coins after she enrolled.
One must know that her previous Shrek Academy was a massive gold-swallowing beast; not only did enrollment require many gold coins, but even eating slightly better meals cost a lot.
But this academy actually gave them out directly as an enrollment gift.
Recalling what Teacher Shen Yi had said in the classroom, these mechas should also be exchanged with Contribution Points.
"Sigh..."
Ning Tian sighed with some regret, her eyes full of pity; her current self in this academy was probably considered a pauper.
The others also looked at the mechas before them with envy. Who wouldn't want something so cool and powerful?
At that moment, Teacher Shen Yi seemed to see through everyone's thoughts. She patted the armor of the Purple-rank Mecha beside her, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"It seems everyone is very interested in these mechas?"
"In that case, let me tell you some good news."
Teacher Shen Yi held up one finger and casually dropped a bombshell.
"At our Shrek Academy, as long as you can successfully complete the basic mecha piloting course and pass the final practical assessment, the academy will give each of you one for free—"
"A Purple-rank Mecha!"
Boom—!!!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hangar instantly boiled over.
"What?! Giving them away?!"
"Giving away Purple-rank Mechas for free?!"
"Oh my god! Teacher, you're not joking, right?!"
Everyone's eyes widened, faces full of disbelief.
But thinking about the resources this academy had given them, everyone quickly accepted it.
What else was there to say? Loyalty, of course.
"Of course it's true," Teacher Shen Yi said with a smile. "At our academy, resources are never the problem."
"The problem is whether you have the ability to master them."
"As for higher-tier Black Grade mechas, or even Red-rank mechas..." Teacher Shen Yi paused and pointed to the terminals on everyone's wrists: "Those will require you to use Contribution Points to exchange for them, or collect materials to build them yourselves."
"Awesome!"
Wang Dong'er waved her small fist excitedly, her eyes glowing.
"A Purple-rank Mecha! This is great stuff!"
The image of herself piloting a Purple-rank Mecha and returning majestically before Da Ming and Er Ming had already appeared in her mind.
When the time comes, she must show off properly in front of Da Ming and Er Ming!
After the shock of the mechas, Teacher Shen Yi didn't give everyone much time to process.
"Alright, piloting a mecha is only the first step."
"To truly master mechas, just knowing how to drive isn't enough; you also need to know how to repair, build, and design."
"Next, do any students have experience in other fields?"
"Would anyone like to come up and demonstrate?"
With the precedent of Tang Wulin getting maximum rewards earlier, everyone's enthusiasm was clearly much higher this time.
"Teacher, let me!"
It was Wu Siduo, who possessed the top-tier Spirit, the Hell Civet.
Although Wu Siduo didn't speak much, her movements were extremely swift.
She walked to the leg joint of a Yellow Grade mecha, pulled a set of maintenance tools from her Storage Soul Tool, and skillfully disassembled, inspected, and replaced parts.
Every movement was incredibly precise.
In just a few minutes, the joint that was originally a bit jerky was tuned by her to be perfectly smooth.
"Not bad, the foundation is very solid."
Teacher Shen Yi nodded, giving an affirmative evaluation and rewarding the corresponding Contribution Points.
Next, Luo Guixing also stepped out. They weren't like Yang Nianxia; in their class, there was a freak like Tang Wulin who could replace their positions.
"Teacher, I specialize in the polishing of core components."
Then came the obedient and cute Xu Xiaoyan.
She soon demonstrated her mecha design capabilities as well.
Watching these students show off their skills, Ning Tian and Wu Feng felt deep pressure once again.
It turned out that Tang Wulin wasn't the only formidable one.
This class was simply full of hidden talents!
Those who could repair, build, design...If these people got together, wouldn't they be able to hand-craft a mecha from scratch?
"Monsters... they're all monsters!"
Wu Feng swallowed hard, the bit of pride she had from her background in a Great Sect completely shattered.
"Everyone, don't be discouraged. When I appointed the Class officers, I already told you that these few have experience. If you study hard, you can catch up too."
Teacher Shen Yi chuckled softly after seeing the expressions on Ning Tian and Wu Feng's faces.
These words were naturally meant for the two of them. She had already said the same to the others at the start of school; only these two were new students and naturally weren't aware.
Of course, even so, it was enough to make the two of them quite serious. Clearly, after being defeated by Huo Yuhao and Seele, they had already corrected their attitude and wouldn't easily look down on anyone else in this academy.
But looking at it now... the two of them still seemed to have underestimated the others. Heroes of the world are as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river. Due to time constraints, the demonstrations by the few did not last long, just a brief touch.
But even so, it was enough to open everyone's eyes and give them a more direct and profound understanding of the Secondary Profession.
Aside from Tang Wulin's excessively powerful forging skills, which discouraged some who wanted to learn forging, the others actually strengthened their own ideas.
Teacher Shen Yi checked the time.
"Next, we go to the last area—the Soul Tool Production Area."
Saying this, Teacher Shen Yi led everyone out of the mecha hangar and walked out along another passage.
However just as everyone stepped out of the mecha hangar's gate and arrived at the plaza outside.
Boom—!!!
Three terrifying pressures descended from high altitude without any warning!
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but narrow his eyes. The last time he felt such terrifying pressure was when Xuan Zi came to cause trouble and was easily dealt with by Lin Feng. Who was it this time?
