Chapter 21

Ji Fu finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Lu Hai’s response.

She only let Yan Yan increase the firepower to the maximum and energetically headed towards the deep sea.

The black car left behind a trail of shadows, and she didn’t forget to shout, “Help, help… the mutant beast is killing people.”

Zhou Lu Hai: …

He chuckled at Ji Fu’s insincere shout, but still activated the mech.

The deep blue mech instantly ascended into the air, leaping towards the direction of the golden rock, while releasing pursuit projectiles.

The shells thundered as they landed on the golden rock, causing the giant beast to stomp in pain, shaking the entire mountain.

Sun Yiming was frantic, “Ji Fu, where did you get this thing? This must be at least A-level, right?”

He shouted nearby, and everyone around the mountain heard it.

Liu Can’s face turned ugly, “It’s more than that. Even the pursuit projectiles from the deep sea couldn’t penetrate its shell. Judging by this, it’s probably S-level.”

“S!?” Sun Yiming’s face turned pale, “Ji Fu, do you want everyone to accompany you to your death?”

“Get out of the way.” Wan Feng’s voice was cold, “If you’re afraid of death, then scram.”

As his words fell, he directly controlled the mech to help.

Sun Yiming’s expression changed slightly. He really didn’t dare to go up. Knowing that this golden rock had reached S-level, charging up would be seeking death, wouldn’t it?

“Let me correct that, it’s not S, it’s close to S.” The golden rock was blocked by Zhou Lu Hai and Wan Feng, while Ji Fu parked the car at the foot of the mountain.

Beside her, Jiang Wei hadn’t recovered yet, but she had already calmly taken the special light brain from Jiang Wei.

Ji Fu inserted the USB she carried with her. In front of Jiang Wei, she effortlessly hacked the special light brain given by the Huang family, logged into the special light brain system, and directly deleted the golden agate stone.

Jiang Wei regained her senses, surprised, “Won’t we be found out?”

Ji Fu didn’t say anything. The system used by the Huang family was derived from her own system.

A laughter came through the earpiece, “Using counterfeit goods to restrict genuine ones, this Huang family head isn’t doing it for the first time.”

“Tsk, what kind of trash is in her material library.”

While everyone outside was nearly going crazy looking for her, she was picking and choosing in the Huang family’s material library.

Talking with Ji Fu meant asking her what she wanted.

“Take whatever you want.” Qin Chu Yue chuckled, “But don’t be polite with me.”

After all, these things weren’t hers anyway.

Ji Fu sent her a photo.

Qin Chu Yue: “S-level mutant plant, darling, you’re even more ruthless than me.”

“But this place isn’t the real material library of the Huang family. It’s mainly used to collect spoils of starry phenomena. S-level top-grade mutant plants are too rare. Even if Huang Peilan has them, she wouldn’t put them here.”

Ji Fu understood this.

She just wanted to try her luck.

Outside, Zhou Lu Hai and Wan Feng were battling the golden rock, causing earth-shattering chaos.

They sat in the car, unable to help shaking along with the movements.

Jiang Wei lifted her head and could see the huge claw of the golden rock leaving a deep mark on the right arm of the deep sea.

The burst of firelight made her eyes sore.

She couldn’t help but ask, “S-level mutant beast, will Zhou Lu Hai be in danger?”

Ji Fu took out a jelly from her bag and handed it to her, saying gently, “Close to S, there’s still a difference from a real S.”

What she didn’t say was that Zhou Lu Hai was currently just a newcomer, having been in school for less than three months. He lacked some experience in mech combat.

But his talent was indeed strong, and he grew very quickly. Dealing with a pseudo-S-level mutant beast like this was still not a problem.

Not to mention there was Wan Feng, who had rich combat experience, by his side.

After fighting with the golden rock for just twenty minutes, Wan Feng had already identified the weak point of the golden rock.

“Its weak point is under its body, seventy-three centimeters inward from the right foot.” Wan Feng said in a deep voice, “I’ve marked it.”

A red dot appeared on the screen in front of Zhou Lu Hai.

The dot faintly followed the movements of the golden rock.

His purpose in coming to the summit this time was indeed to find an S-level mutant beast to practice against.

Originally planning to take it slow, it was also a way to accumulate combat experience.

He didn’t expect that when he was controlling the deep sea to strike the golden rock, he turned his head and saw Ji Fu and Jiang Wei sitting in the car eating jelly.

Well, she really had guts.

Zhou Lu Hai was anxious and immediately took action. He dived from the sky and landed rapidly.

At the moment of impact, as the two mechanical arms from the deep sea exerted force simultaneously, deep blue energy gathered, unexpectedly flipping the massive golden boulder.

The air trembled slightly, and looking up, Wan Feng saw Zhou Lu Hai’s right arm, which had just been scratched by the golden boulder, crackling and flickering with fire.

Below, Ji Fu couldn’t help but chuckle, “Indeed, youthful vigor. You managed to injure your own arm.”

Just as Jiang Wei, who was about to inform them of the golden boulder’s weakness, mustered up the courage to press the communication button…

Zhou Lu Hai exploded in anger.

From a distance, witnessing the violent upheaval from the deep sea, he directly swung his fist, pounding relentlessly on the weak point of the golden boulder. Directly hitting Jiang Wei, who was barely clinging to life, Zhou Lu Hai’s relentless assault left her silently swallowing her saliva.

She turned her head, tears welling up as she looked at Ji Fu.

Ji Fu: …

“Good!” She set down the half-eaten potato chips in her hand, speaking earnestly, “Truly deserving of S-rank!”

All the students from the special A class channel: …

This nearly S-class golden boulder, under the furious onslaught of Zhou Lu Hai, didn’t survive for more than ten minutes.

Bang!

The golden boulder fell silent, its massive body crashing mercilessly to the ground under the assault of the deep sea.

The wings of the deep sea were tainted with the blood of the golden boulder, the reddish-gold beastly blood splattering onto the fuselage, thoroughly corroding the deep sea’s right arm.

A bright flash, under the sunlight, the dark-colored mecha, bathed in blood, its right arm completely immobilized.

With the mecha’s right arm damaged, Zhou Lu Hai himself felt uncomfortable.

He endured it for a moment, but couldn’t hold back, angrily pressing the communication button, “Ji Fu! Get down here and repair the mecha for me!”

The deep sea was his coming-of-age gift from his family after he became an adult.

He had only had it for a few months, and he usually couldn’t bear to use it.

In its first appearance, its right arm was already scrapped.

In his rage, he didn’t hear a single word of congratulations or admiration from the people around him. He only thought about making Ji Fu pay some price if she couldn’t repair the deep sea.

Little did he know how terrifying he appeared in the eyes of others.

At the foot of the Lu Mountain, inside an A+ mech, Huang Yuanfan narrowed his eyes, “I’ve only heard that Zhou Lu Hai gave up the Imperial Military Academy and went to the Interstellar Academy, but I didn’t expect him to be this strong.”

He had seen the young masters and misses from the three major families of the Empire, and some of them had even entered school years before Zhou Lu Hai, but not all of them could match Zhou Lu Hai’s strength.

“I wonder what the Zhou family was thinking, actually sending him to the worst Interstellar Academy among the three military academies.” That’s what they said, but as they watched the end of the battle, and that S-class mech was coming over, he was the first to call out for someone to come out of the mech.

With such strength, and from the Zhou family.

Zhou Lu Hai would be the most worthwhile person to make connections with in this Star Cloud Summit.

Most of those who had witnessed Zhou Lu Hai’s killing of the golden boulder just now thought so.

But when they saw Huang Yuanfan leading the way, after hesitating for a while, those people gave up.

This was G-730, the territory of the Huang family.

Huang Yuanfan was Huang Peilan’s younger brother, also considered the master of the house. If he went up, there was no room for anyone else to speak.

As Huang Yuanfan approached, he saw Zhou Lu Hai frowning as he talked to Ji Fu.

He had just checked the information of these Interstellar Academy people.

When Ji Fu brought the golden boulder over in her black car, it did attract special attention, so he paid extra attention, but he didn’t expect her to be just a C-class.

Huang Yuanfan immediately lost interest, and even didn’t regard her highly.

He just called out to Zhou Lu Hai.

Zhou Lu Hai was currently annoyed. He was still full of anger that hadn’t been vented out yet, and Ji Fu handed him a bottle of sweet milk.

She even said this stuff could heal his injuries.

Could he believe her nonsense? Unexpectedly, after opening and drinking it, his dull and numb right arm did feel somewhat relieved.

Then the person in front of him smiled and said, “I’m a pharmacist, not a mech repairer.”

Zhou Lu Hai sneered and glanced at her car.

The car they had driven out in before didn’t look like this at all. It wasn’t clear if this car had any other functions for now, but just based on the incredible speed it had shown earlier, it was almost comparable to a starship.

She said she couldn’t repair mechs, just teasing him.

He was about to expose her, but was interrupted by Huang Yuanfan, his expression becoming even more unpleasant.

Huang Yuanfan was good at socializing. He smiled and directly approached, “Is there a problem with your mech?”

“Perfect timing, I happen to have an A+ mech technician here, who can be considered a top-notch mech technician. I’ll have him help you fix it?”

The Huang family was founded by mech technicians. The technician he recommended couldn’t be too bad.

Zhou Lu Hai knew Huang Yuanfan. His expression softened a bit.

Seeing this, Huang Yuanfan called the mech technician over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the mech technician appeared, the smile faded from Ji Fu’s face. She tapped her earpiece lightly and said coldly, “Do you remember the wanted criminal who intentionally killed someone and was imprisoned on Q-817 that year?”

Q-817, Qin Chuyue’s face turned cold.

Of course, she remembered. Many years ago, Qin Chuyue, who was still a law-abiding citizen back then, had reported the murderer, who had killed a family of her neighbors. The child in that family was only seven years old, and the entire family belonged to the lower class.

She had reported the murderer, but unexpectedly, the other party had a strong background. She was accused in return and sent to the Interstellar Prison.

Although she was later released on bail, she always remembered the ferocious face of the other party.

She went around and knocked her head bloody, but in the end, she was the one who sent the other person in.

But the family of five from the neighbors, that beast was only sentenced to seven years in prison.

“Do you remember what his name was?” Ji Fu asked in a low voice.

“Anping.” He hailed from a local aristocratic family, and thanks to the shelter of his family’s status, he had managed to alleviate punishment multiple times. That incident marked the first time Qin Chu Yue had been utterly disappointed with the Alliance.

So, up until now, she still remembered his name.

Coincidentally, Huang Yuanfan introduced him to Zhou Luo Hai, saying, “He’s Anping, the mech pilot I mentioned.”

Zhou Luo Hai’s expression was cold as he glanced at him and said, “That could be troublesome.”

Anping smiled broadly and was about to walk towards the deep sea, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by the person in front of him.

Under the foot of Lushan Mountain, because Huang Yuanfan had specially introduced the mech pilot to Zhou Luo Hai, it attracted a lot of attention, including many people, including those in Class A, who were looking over this way.

In full view of everyone, Anping didn’t recognize Ji Fu, thinking she was Zhou Luo Hai’s girlfriend. Seeing Zhou Luo Hai had asked him to fix the mech, he felt unhappy.

He smirked, saying, “Miss, please move aside.”

A pretty but useless C-class waste dared to throw a tantrum in such a situation?

He finished speaking, completely ignoring Ji Fu, and stepped over her towards the deep sea.

To his surprise, as soon as he took a step, he felt someone aiming a mechanical gun at his head.

In Ji Fu’s hand was the gravity silverfish gun issued by the school. She released the safety catch, the sound of loading bullets sending shivers down people’s spines.

Anping’s expression changed drastically, freezing in place. Without being able to turn around, he heard the person behind him say coldly, “Your name is Anping?”
