Classes continued as usual. After Professor Mengye became the coach of the team, Zhou Naiyi and the others became more enthusiastic about training because the principal was arranging a campus battle.

In this era, school mecha teams were like the basketball and football teams of the past, but even more glorious. For example, Tianjing Machine Warfare had a field for five thousand people and conducted holographic battles, making it an absolute stage to showcase one's abilities. There was not much time left for Zhou Naiyi's team, but fortunately, Wu Zang and Ye Tong's strengths began to show in team battles. The team's cooperation definitely needed to be honed, and even Zuo Xiaotang became more diligent. He had no choice but to work hard if he didn't want to lose face, and it was too late for him to quit now.

On the other hand, Li Hao had more free time and accompanied Ayouyou to her Chinese opera class, while Ayouyou accompanied him to his mecha classes.

Since Zhou Naiyi's team was established, Professor Mengye seemed to have suddenly become enlightened and abandoned NUP mecha, instead using USE mecha that better suited the personalities of Earthlings. The thinking and physical qualities of different federations actually had significant differences. Although they were all genetically modified, the final reactions were different due to the differences in their planets. It was possible to understand the opponent, but blindly imitating them was clearly not the way to go... Anyway, it was just the second team, and there was no pressure even if they lost.

"I'm not saying that everyone should use Armored Tigers, Armored Dragons, or even Armored Leopards. There's no need to dig out the old relics. But look at this player named Puppet. His operations, his consciousness, and his judgments are telling us through his actions that USE mecha is not weak at all. What's more, it values the human body structure and can maximize human thinking," Professor Mengye said while tapping the blackboard. He liked to analyze battle examples, but this was the first time he used an internet celebrity.

"Everyone may think he's an amateur, but I'm telling you here that he must have undergone rigorous military training. One hundred percent!" Professor Mengye said.

"Professor, we are also undergoing strict training."

"This student obviously has a misunderstanding about strictness. Look at all his battles, muscle habits, and they are all what we have been demanding. Not only the body's muscle habits but also the mecha's muscle habits. That is to say, when making a move, the instinct is to make the best judgment, not the biological instinct, but the instinct of battle. Take a look at the recent battle against Purple Flash. I still remember this person. He was one of the top fifteen in last year's lightweight mecha singles competition and has a pretty good level. As you can see, his level has declined since graduation, but when facing a fatal punch, he reacted and judged the direction of Puppet's attack correctly, even making a turn to face it. The general reaction of a person facing an attack is to instinctively dodge, but he faced it and tried to counterattack or defend. Although he didn't succeed in the end, his muscle memory was correct."Everyone was surprised that the person praised by Mong Ye was actually his opponent. After the game, people discussed how Matthias's skills had declined so quickly and how he had become a user of concept machines. Once someone got used to using concept machines, their skills would quickly decline, almost like a curse.

"Professor, who is Puppet? Could he be a bigwig in the military or a member of the USE's ace team?"

"I don't know, and it doesn't matter. As I said before, we need to find the characteristics and advantages of our USE mecha from it. It must be in line with our biological structure. If someone can do it, why can't we?"

Puppet's existence seemed to provide evidence for Mong Ye's theory, and the fact that he only used outdated armor further confirmed Mong Ye's idea that the USE mecha system was excellent but needed to be adapted to a new combat style. If they continued to follow the Moon people, they would never surpass them.

"Senior, Puppet is so powerful. Who do you think is better, you or him?" Ayouyou asked softly.

"Of course, it's me." Li Hao would never back down in front of the girl he liked. "He hasn't met me yet, or else I would beat him."

"You're just bragging," Ayouyou laughed.

"What kind of guy do you like?" Li Hao asked. Of course, he knew that the answer he wanted to hear was impossible.

"Charming and mysterious, like Superman," Ayouyou smiled.

Li Hao thought for a moment and smiled. Wasn't she describing him?

Just as he was laughing, Sky Message vibrated, and he received a message.

Li Hao calmed down, and Ayouyou suddenly felt like the person next to her had disappeared.

Bleem Task 129: Defend Earth's honor and lead Earth's style.

If there was a Bleem in front of Li Hao, he could crush it. Who did he think he was? Just a civilian and a military academy student. Wasn't this just a dream?

Lead? Did he rely on his face?

Li Hao couldn't help but frown. Bleem's tasks used to be very clear and direct, but the recent tasks had become increasingly strange and elusive.

From the EMP scores and armor restrictions to this, they all seemed to be aimed at suppressing the Moon. This had also been evident in previous tasks, such as the Revelation Youth Class mission, which was also aimed at the Moon.

"Senior, senior, what's wrong with you..." Ayouyou pulled Li Hao, and he snapped out of his thoughts.

"It's nothing, just a creditor."

"Oh, did you owe money? I have some, I can lend it to you," Ayouyou blurted out. Li Hao couldn't help but laugh and instinctively pulled Ayouyou's hand. "Thanks, but it's not that kind of debt."Suddenly, Ayouyou blushed and wanted to pull her hand back, but Li Hao wasn't stupid. He held onto her hand tightly, and Ayouyou didn't struggle too hard. The two of them held hands while the professor continued to lecture, but their minds had already wandered off somewhere else.

Class was over, and Li Hao couldn't believe how fast time had flown by. Ayouyou still had another class, so he couldn't go with her.

"Senior, I have a gift for you." Ayouyou said as she was leaving. "Remember to check it out."

Watching Ayouyou leave happily, Li Hao smiled like a fool and felt his heart soaring. This meant that Ayouyou didn't dislike him, and she even gave him a gift. This was a good sign!

Of course, he wouldn't be like Ma Long and take advantage of the situation. He felt that Ayouyou had a good impression of him, but they weren't at that stage yet. Holding her hand just now, his brain was buzzing and his heart was about to burst.

"Ah, I'm so stupid. I should have prepared a gift too. I need to go back and ask Ma Laoshi for advice."

Although the other three people in the dorm and Ma Laoshi had different beliefs, Ma Laoshi was still superior in terms of technical ability. Li Hao knew from personal experience that Ma Long was really good at this, not only in terms of experience but also in terms of his level of understanding.

At noon, the four members of 4396 gathered in the cafeteria, and Zuo Xiaotang looked a little worried.

"What's wrong, Xiaopang? Did you get dumped like a cooked crab?"

"Is he the type to be dumped easily? We really can't get tickets for Arths' concert. Even scalpers don't have them. The quantity is too small, and they're all being internally distributed by various means. Even if they're willing to give them away, they're too expensive. This small concert is too rare. It was originally in Tianjing, but these people are so idle that they flew in from all over the solar system. It's ridiculous!" Ma Long said helplessly.

"It's not Ma Long's fault. The USE fan club president only has one ticket, and there are too few tickets. Sigh."

"Why don't you just watch outside the door?"

"The problem is that there's no outdoor area. This is a private gathering, and there are many big shots. Considering security, they don't allow large-scale rejection. Really, as long as Arths starts singing, a holographic screen will be set up outside, and it's not a problem to gather hundreds of thousands of people."

The other three looked at each other, not really understanding. It sounded good, but Li Hao and Wu Zang weren't the type of people who cared about this, and Ma Long was the rational type who had to consider cost-effectiveness. Isn't it great to have money to pick up girls?

They started eating, and Li Hao asked, "Ma Laoshi, what gift is more sincere for a girl?"

"Oh, oh, Hao Ge, you've made progress. Did you confess?" Ma Long was excited.

"No, I feel like I need to take the initiative. Ayouyou said she wanted to give me a gift, but I don't know what to give in return.""Wow, there are still girls like this. She's amazing. She definitely has a crush on you. We need to see what gift she gives you. We have to be targeted, at least not cheaper than what she gives, and we have to cater to her preferences." Teacher Ma is particularly experienced in this aspect.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

"I don't know yet. She told me to check my mailbox." Li Hao nodded desperately. If he couldn't figure it out, it didn't matter. What Teacher Ma said was right.

"Oh, it should be a greeting card or something to share. It's normal. It seems everything is going smoothly. What's next is more important. It's about success or failure!" Teacher Ma took a sip of soup and suddenly stopped.

"Old San, don't pretend to be cool. Hurry up and tell us. It's crucial now!"

"Well, at this time, there are generally two types of girls. One is the active probing type, and the other is the passive waiting type. For example, if she suddenly asks you if you like her, how do you answer?"

"I like her. What's wrong with that?"

"Nonono, you can't answer like that. Girls' thoughts are delicate. If you answer like that, it's basically not challenging, and your score in her mind will decrease. You should say something like, 'Do you often ask others this question?' She will definitely say, 'No, I'm just asking you.' Then you can ask back, 'Do you like me?' This way, no matter how she answers, you will be in an unbeatable position. Love is like a war, it can be compared to EMP. In team battles, you must pull and tug. As a brave knight, you must grasp the initiative!" At this moment, Ma Long's face was shining. If he were given a headband, he could be a cult leader.
