Silicon Invasion

Having agreed to Xiong Wu's challenge, the group was finally able to leave.

“Old Yao, you were too hasty. Actually, even if you had set the time a month later, no one would have said anything,” Zhou Tiantian said first as they walked to the cafeteria, away from outsiders.

“Yeah, a month wouldn't be too outrageous,” Su Meng coldly echoed.

“It's fine,” Luo Rui didn't feel anything was wrong.

In fact, this timing wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision, but one he had carefully considered.

Luo Rui had initially planned to postpone it for a few days. Although not as extreme as a month, he had considered a week.

After all, he was still a patient. As the saying goes, a hundred days to heal from broken bones. Although he didn't break any bones this time, the wound was close to the bone. The one on his calf was a penetrating wound, and even two months of rest wouldn't be excessive.

When he was discharged from the hospital, the doctor also specifically instructed him that although he was recovering well, he shouldn't rush to be active, let alone do strenuous exercise. Combat in a mech, although he wouldn't need to run around, the physical feedback within the game was real and would put pressure on his body.

However, the scene this morning had somewhat startled Luo Rui. So many people were watching, and he believed that this was only a fraction of them. At the same time, he also heard some of the whispers around him. Everyone was very interested in him, the only Level 25 student admitted through a special exception.

If this battle were to drag on for a week, or even a month, Luo Rui couldn't imagine how much the situation would escalate, whether it would turn into a hot news item that the whole school was paying attention to.

Since he couldn't stay low-profile, Luo Rui knew which to choose between being slightly famous and being a campus superstar.

In addition, after learning about Xiong Wu's level from老大 Zhang Jiasheng, it shouldn't be enough to "break his bones", so Luo Rui hoped to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

If it weren't for having classes in the morning, he would have wanted to set the time after breakfast.

“Old Yao, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you can't beat him now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to beat him in the future. I absolutely believe in the teachers' judgment,” Zhang Jiasheng patted Luo Rui on the shoulder to comfort him.

“Yeah, you just got here, and you haven't even gotten familiar with the machines. Xiong Wu is taking advantage of you. Even if you lose, it's not embarrassing,” Zhou Tiantian also chimed in from the side.

“Ditto,” Su Meng said concisely.

Luo Rui felt the concern of his three brothers, but why did they all seem to underestimate him?

However, Luo Rui wasn't worried about the machines.

On the way here, Luo Rui had learned from the two teachers that the teaching machines inside Beishan School were actually similar to those in Dongmu No. 1 High School, and the programs used were also largely the same.

However, because of the training direction, the physical engine feedback of Beishan Academy's teaching machines was more realistic. For example, in the "Ace Mech Pilot" game, for the sake of players' physical and mental health, the vibrations and other feedback could only reach a maximum of 30% to 50%. But Beishan Academy's teaching machines could reach 80%, or even 100%.

Moreover, the selectable mechs in the program didn't have so many fancy concept models. Everyone could choose mechs based on real-world evidence and templates from their own country.

Although the fight scenes might be inferior to those in the game, they were more realistic. After all, when exploring Maikan, you couldn't drive a game concept mech.

Luo Rui believed that he could quickly overcome these limited differences. He could go to the computer lab earlier in the afternoon to get a feel for things and adapt.

“Old Yao, you have a good appetite.”

Zhou Tiantian was a little stunned as he watched Luo Rui drink his seventh bowl of eight-treasure porridge.

“It's okay.” Luo Rui wiped his mouth, picked up a small steamed bun and put it in his mouth. The eight-treasure porridge was very good, with plenty of ingredients, and even more delicious with sugar.

The steamed buns were also very good, with a mouthful of soup with each bite, the size was just right for one bite at a time, and he couldn't stop eating them. He had already eaten five baskets.

“You're eating so much, is your stomach okay?” Even Su Meng, who wanted to maintain a cool image, couldn't hold back his expression. He specifically looked at Luo Rui's stomach, which didn't seem to have changed at all. He didn't know where all the food went.

This was nothing, barely enough to fill a gap between his teeth, Luo Rui rolled his eyes. But he didn't dare to say this, for fear of scaring his brothers.

Luo Rui couldn't help it. He had to seize the time to replenish energy points, and he had figured it out. There was no need to completely hide the fact that he had a good appetite. He could reveal a little bit so that even if he was occasionally caught eating two meals in a row, he could use it as an excuse and it wouldn't be too abrupt.

Although Luo Rui had been restraining himself, the other three were still dumbfounded, and they realized that their speculation last night was wrong.

Luo Rui ate so many snacks last night probably because he was really hungry, not because he had never eaten good food before and was forcing himself to eat and drink.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

So far, Luo Rui had already swiped almost three hundred yuan, and this was just breakfast! Moreover, judging from the fact that Luo Rui didn't even blink when he swiped his card just now, this kid's family was probably doing pretty well. Thinking about it, if his family wasn't well-off, he wouldn't have grown up so big with his eating habits.

“Hehe.” The eldest Zhang Jiasheng smiled honestly, his laughter containing a meaning that only the second and third brothers could understand. Fortunately, the three brothers discovered it quickly, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to treat Luo Rui as a poor student and take care of him.

Even after leaving the cafeteria, Luo Rui was still a little unsatisfied. The school cafeteria was indeed good, with many varieties. Today he ate eight-treasure porridge and steamed buns, and tomorrow he could try fried dough sticks, soy milk, and tofu pudding. Once he got familiar with the place, he would find an excuse to come alone, so he wouldn't have to restrain himself so much.

The first class of the new school year was 《Wilderness Survival Guide》. Luo Rui had already received the textbook yesterday and had roughly flipped through it. It talked about some very practical wilderness survival knowledge, not only on Blue Star, but also on Maikan. Some of the knowledge points opened Luo Rui's eyes.

He didn't have this class in his third year of high school, so Luo Rui didn't have to worry about not keeping up. He took a seat first and carefully flipped through it from the beginning. With his current brainpower, he believed that he could quickly catch up with more than a month's progress.

The teacher who taught this course was a handsome hunk, which slightly disappointed Luo Rui, who was expecting a beautiful female teacher from the novels to give the lecture. What was even more disappointing was, didn't the new students need to introduce themselves?

The teacher didn't seem to notice that there was an extra line in the roll call. After routinely reading the names, he started lecturing on his own.

“How do you feel?” Zhou Tiantian whispered quietly, sitting on Luo Rui's right hand side.

Luo Rui didn't answer. Not to mention the teacher, not to mention the self-introduction, just looking around, there were only seven girls out of more than forty students in the entire classroom…

He was carrying a mission, but judging from the current situation, the resources in the class were not very good.
