Anhuang City.

Long Yongkang placed his hands behind his back, and looked down through the glass wall at the colorful city.

Behind him stood an old man in a black suit. "Boss, what did you call me for?"

Long Yongkang turned around, "Da Shu, I heard from you last time that Long Junxuan has been pretty close to a student named Xia Mang, right?"

The old man called Da Shu nodded his head, "Yes, young master has been pretty close to him recently, but I've checked this kid's background and he has a very clean background. He recently became the first high school student mecha master in Anhuang City, he has quite the potential."

Long Yongkang said: "I know all of this, this Xia Mang child is not bad. I heard that the Yun Shan family's precious child was recently imprisoned because of him."

Da Shu laughed. "That's right, this old thing, Yun Shan, has been frowning every day for a while.

As he said this, he paused for a moment as if he had thought of something. After a moment, he continued, "And boss, our people have found something that confused them."

"Oh? "What is it?"

Long Yongkang raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Da Shu frowned: "We discovered that Xia Mang seems to frequently enter the honorary hall of the Anhuang City's branch office, this does not make sense! Could it be that he is the Honorary citizen? "That doesn't make sense. Even if he's the only high school mecha pilot in the city, there's no way he'll get a prize of honorary points."

"He goes especially often, not every once in a while."

Hearing his words, Long Yongkang immediately fell into deep thought.

This matter was too bizarre. Even with his knowledge and experience, he was unable to think of any reason why this could be happening.

He looked at Da Shu and said, "I know, I invited you here, mainly because I understand Yun Shan too much about him. I guess this Xia Mang probably caused his son so much trouble, and displayed such strong potential …"

"Furthermore, he hasn't made a move recently, so I suspect that he will make use of this opportunity in this survival competition to come up with some tricks."

After the Da Shu heard this, he understood, "Then boss, what do you mean? Prepare to protect this kid? "

Long Yongkang revealed a smile: If I say that I have my eyes on the brat's potential and that I plan to dig him up to our company after the competition ends, Da Shu, what would you say?

Da Shu opened his eyes wide: "Boss, could it be that you …."

Long Yongkang didn't deny it: "That's right, I want to poach him as a stepping stone for our company to open up a market for Battle Mechas."

"Boss, isn't this too rash? After all, he's just a member of the Beginner Mecha Pilot. And judging from the field survival competition, his focus doesn't seem to be entirely on the mecha aspect."

Da Shu voiced his worries.

Hearing his words, Long Yongkang did not mind it at all: "Da Shu, don't worry, I have already sent people to check this brat's genetic evolution level. Last time, his Special classes's examination was only 1.3, but this time when he went to participate in the wild survival competition, he was probably eliminated in less than a day.

"Once you're aware of your flaws, you'll naturally return to the path of the mecha's research."

The Da Shu suddenly realized something and could not help but give a thumbs up, "The boss is really far-sighted."

"Just that, you think so highly of this Xia Mang brat?"

Long Yongkang took a deep breath, "In life, there are many times when one must not just look at the future and not gamble. Now that I have put in all my effort to nurture him, once my potential is converted to strength, I will be rich."

"If we wait for him to achieve some results, I'm afraid we won't make it in time."

Da Shu also felt that it was reasonable, so he asked: "Then what does boss want me to do?"

Long Yongkang laughed: "You just need to organize a team to participate in the survival competition and protect this Xia Mang's safety. All you need to do is not let that old fellow Yun Shan take advantage of him."

"Understood."

Da Shu nodded and left.

Long Yongkang turned his back once again and looked down at the brightly lit city.

He was getting closer and closer to the survival competition.

All the contestants were actively preparing for battle, and their ultimate goal was to win the championship and enter the four finals that would be held in Yuan City during the summer months after the war.

Maybe, if one was lucky, they could even obtain the qualifications to participate in the finals of the secondary star.

Anhuang First High School basketball court.

Long Junxuan, Ye Fei, and Xia Mang were sitting shoulder to shoulder at the side of the stage.

"I say, Xia Mecha, even if you're participating in the tournament alone, you still won't consider finding other unspecialized characters to join?"

Ye Fei turned and asked.

Xia Mecha was the nickname that Long Junxuan and him had recently given Xia Mang. Because the youngest Battle Mecha Master's name was too famous, they called him Xia Mecha.

Xia Mang resisted many times but still had to accept this name.

Being poor in manpower wouldn't change the habits of others.

Those who didn't know what mecha brand it was would think it was.

Hearing Ye Fei's words, Xia Mecha, no, it was Xia Mang who shook his head: "What is there to look for, I am free and alone. I don't have any restrictions, it's good."

"Oh right, since you already know that there are fifteen spots in the class, why don't you advise me to wait until then to register?"

The two of them rolled their eyes at his words.

Long Junxuan smacked his lips and sighed at the same time, "Someone's suffering from Alzheimer's disease again."

Ye Fei was also putting on an act, and said in a weird tone, "Sigh, you are forgetful, I don't know who said that they couldn't return to Special classes."

"Ugh …"

Seeing the two of them singing together, Xia Mang was sweating profusely. He felt as if someone had slapped him in the face, it hurt so much … Afterwards, the three of them went to the academy's gymnasium to practice together. Ye Fei suggested that they should fight one-on-one, but the result was naturally being oppressed.

Long Junxuan laughed at him and said: "One day of safety is not good, I must let someone find confidence in me."

Ye Fei, on the other hand, proudly raised his head. "I'm chasing after progress, trying to match up with outstanding people."

Thus, he once again pleaded for a beating.

In the end, Long Junxuan stopped joking around and stared at Xia Mang strangely. "With your combat power, is your evolution index really only 1.3?"

"Why do I feel so unreliable?"

Hearing his question, the latter didn't answer directly, but pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, last time his side result was 1.3."

In fact, he had almost used up all the Fengmen's medicine in the first episode. His gene evolution index had now reached 3.4.

He was afraid that if he said it out loud, his two little friends would be frustrated and attack him together with sabers.

Even though he was very powerful now, beating someone up wasn't right.

— — Soon enough, the day of lessons had ended. After school, Xia Mang packed his stuff and left with Ye Fei.

His father was still recuperating, so he didn't go to find a job for the time being. His mother also came home early, so the two of them were sitting on the chair watching TV.

Xia Yuntian and Du Dongyan had already accepted the fact that their son had been sucked into the army. From the looks of the payment of the medical fees and the recent living expenses, there really wasn't any other explanation.

As for his mood, he was both pleased and a little nervous.

"Mom, dad, I have something to tell you."

Xia Mang changed his shoes and said happily.

"What is it?"

Du Dongyan and Xia Yuntian looked over at the same time.

They both knew that the economic foundation was for the construction of the upper echelons, and that their son was now an important source of income for their family. Thus, the two lords paid more attention to his words.

"It's like this."

Xia Mang laughed: "There's going to be an outdoor survival competition recently, I'm preparing to go and participate."

Xia Yuntian came back to his senses after hearing that: "Okay, no problem, I really like watching that competition's live broadcast, but son, with your level, would you be beaten if you were to participate in that competition?"

"I'll go."

Xia Mang almost fell to the ground. Is this really my father?

However, Xia Yuntian also realized that he was being too frank, he coughed a little and changed his words: "That's right, those participants are all so powerful, do you have the confidence to continue for one day?"

Xia Mang was already on the verge of tears. He thought in his heart, "Father, in your heart, am I a person bullying others?"

Don't tell me that in your heart, your son is not powerful at all?

However, even though he was crying in his heart, he still said, "Ah, don't worry, I definitely won't go in and get soy sauce."

Xia Yuntian nodded his head: "Then what do we fight for?"

Du Dongyan rolled her eyes at his husband, and directly changed the topic and asked: "Son, how long are we participating in this competition, are there any dangers?"

Xia Mang waved his hands casually after hearing it. "Sigh, if there's any danger, it's just a competition in the forest. At that time, let's have Dad bring you to watch the live broadcast."

Compared to his father, his mother was basically a mere assembly line worker. She would get in the dark early in the morning. Other than the production line, they only had production lines. She knew very little about the outside world, so her thinking was relatively simple.

Xia Yuntian nodded his head heavily: "That's right, I will explain it to you when the time comes."

Du Dongyan rolled her eyes at him again, and immediately went to the inner room and brought out a box, "I'll help you pack your clothes, it's cold at night in the forest."

"Mom, there's no need for that. There will be a dedicated high-tech competition suit released later on."

Xia Mang was emotionally moved and stopped his mother's actions. He said sincerely: "Don't worry, a while ago, your son was able to shock the entire city. This competition will also shock everyone."

Du Dongyan emotionally nodded her head, indicating that she believed her.

Xia Yuntian also said in a serious tone: "We are not hoping for you to achieve any good results. I heard that the competition is still very dangerous, and if you want to go in, you have to sign some death agreement.

"What death and injury agreement?"

When Du Dongyan heard this, she was no longer calm. She turned to look at his son and asked, "Didn't you say it was safe?"

Xia Mang said with a smile, "Sigh, Mom, we have to sign that thing. However, it has been many years since there have been any severe casualties, so this competition is still very safe."

"Is that so?"

Du Dongyan muttered in disbelief.

Xia Yuntian nodded his head: "That's true, every competition is always broadcasted. I watched it, indeed there haven't been any major casualties."

"That's good."

Hearing her husband's words, Du Dongyan heaved a sigh of relief.
