Is the mecha just a limiter? Muscle Lock, Activate!

“Holy crap...”

“There are so many people!”

Wang Chu wore a Zhou Xun-like expression, surprised.

This was the first time in the few days since his enrollment that he had seen so many students from the Imperial Capital Mech Warrior Academy!

They were all crowded in front of the [Space-Time Ruins] instance portal.

It was evident how important the Sunday [Endless Ruins] was to the mech pilots!

Yesterday.

Zi Ying had already briefed Wang Chu and Su Wanqing on the general situation of the [Endless Ruins].

Simply put.

The [Endless Ruins] is a time-limited tower climbing event on Sundays.

Do you understand the significance of a time-limited event!

In the [Endless Ruins], each level will randomly generate one of three instances: [Echoes of the Past], [Miracle Star Source], [Genesis Spring].

In other words.

It is possible to encounter [Echoes of the Past] four or five times in a row after entering the [Endless Ruins]!

It is also possible to encounter [Miracle Star Source] and [Genesis Spring] four or five times in a row!

If you encounter [Echoes of the Past] often, and clear them all!

For the mech pilots, the speed of leveling up would be like riding a rocket!

“Sigh, every week I rely on this Sunday to get by.”

“Isn't that right…”

While waiting for the instance to open, Wang Chu listened to the surrounding students chatting, doing nothing.

“It's too hard to earn credits. The [Endless Ruins] is better. Entering once only consumes one [Space-Time Ruins] credit... If you're lucky, you can farm some easy monsters and clear several levels at once.”

“Isn't that right…”

“Hey, how strong do you think Captain Xiao is now?”

“I heard that last time in the [Endless Ruins], she cleared more than twenty levels by herself. With such terrifying stats, is she even human anymore!”

“Isn't that right…”

“It's such a pity…”

“Our Imperial Capital Mech Warrior Academy only has Captain Xiao who's strong! The Global Mech Warrior Academy Competition is a team competition, what's the use of one strong person?”

“However, it would be great if we could win the solo competition this year! Captain Xiao was only a little bit away last year!”

“Isn't that right…”

“Oh right, this year our school also got a Godslayer, seems like his name is… Wang Chu?”

“If we give him two years, he might become a main force of the school team.”

“It's just… by the time he grows up, Captain Xiao will have already graduated…!”

“Isn't that right…”

Wang Chu listened for a long time.

This “Isn't that right” with a somewhat hopeless tone is truly brainwashing!

One could imagine the scene.

Having a friend who keeps nagging, and you have to give face and chime in every now and then.

“Stop standing on tiptoes… the more you do, the less you'll see…”

Wang Chu also curiously looked around.

He had heard Zi Ying mention Captain Xiao's name several times in the past two days.

As the captain of the Imperial Capital Mech Warrior Academy's school team.

She, who just entered her senior year, already has the strength to rival a seventh-tier mech pilot!

It's just that, it is said that her tier has been stuck at the sixth tier and she hasn't been promoted, not knowing what she is waiting for.

After looking around for a long time.

Wang Chu only saw the crowd constantly parting to the sides, but he didn't see that Captain Xiao.

“Hey, kid.”

A clear, cold voice sounded.

Wang Chu was stunned for a moment. This voice… seems a bit close?

“Brother Wang Chu…”

Su Wanqing tugged at the corner of Wang Chu's clothes and whispered, “Look down.”

At Su Wanqing's reminder, Wang Chu looked down.

“……”

A girl was looking up at him with a cold expression.

“You are Wang Chu, right?”

“Nice to meet you, I'm Xiao Mengyin.”

Wang Chu's pupils instantly widened.

This girl, whose height is at most less than 1.5 meters… is the legendary Xiao Mengyin who is fiercely awesome?

How is it so different from what I imagined?

A legal loli?

The Xiao Mengyin who is terrifying in everyone's mouth.

At this time, she was wearing an exquisite and gorgeous Lolita dress, the pink and white skirt blooming like layers of flowers.

Contrasting sharply with this sweet outfit was her delicate face, as cold as frost.

Under her small nose, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were like deep, cold pools, exuding a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance.

Wang Chu carefully sized her up and down, then focused his gaze on the place where all men would.

Hmm…

Flat as a board…

“Kid, where are you looking?”

Xiao Mengyin's expression became even colder.

“Cough cough…”

Wang Chu coughed lightly in embarrassment.

“I wonder what Captain Xiao wants from me?”

It was a bit of a rhetorical question.

Xiao Mengyin has no kinship with him, so why would she suddenly come to him at this time.

Besides the school team's affairs, what else could it be?

Xiao Mengyin frowned slightly, still seemingly dissatisfied with Wang Chu's actions just now.

However, she still spoke.

“Wang Chu… National champion of the Great Xia National Mech Warrior Exam.”

“And… Godslayer.”

“Want to join the school team?”

“If it's you… no need for assessment, I agree.”

She paused, then added.

“Directly join the school team, not the reserve team.”

As soon as she said this, the surrounding students exclaimed in surprise.

“Directly join the school team? Is Captain Xiao crazy?”

“Isn't her standard always very strict… why has it suddenly been lowered?”

“That's right… it's unheard of for a second-tier mech pilot to directly join the school team!”

“Well, it's okay… joining the school team doesn't mean you have to play, you can just sit on the bench.”

“There's a key point that I don't know if you've noticed… Captain Xiao… is asking for Wang Chu's opinion!”

“Hiss……”

Everyone collectively gasped.

That Captain Xiao, who always does what she says and never takes no for an answer…

Is actually asking for Wang Chu's opinion?

Wang Chu was also a little surprised…

This Xiao Mengyin… is unexpectedly easy to talk to?

But…

Why is that?

Is it because she values his [Absolute Overclocking] potential?

“Reason.”

“Give me a reason to join the school team.”

Wang Chu said lightly.

Although Wang Chu felt that he was awesome now.

But the more this is the case, the more he must guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

What if there are people beyond people, and mechs beyond mechs?

After all, he is still a second-tier mech pilot now.

Constantly developing is his primary goal!

Xiao Mengyin stared straight into Wang Chu's eyes and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

“The whereabouts of the Storm Goddess… are you interested?”
