Zhou Naiyi shook her head slightly, "Our class 16 was the experimental class of the former principal, but that's not important now. What I want to say is, since you are here, you must have your own expertise. If you have any problems, we can work together to find a solution. Both Wu Zang and I are willing to help you."

Li Hao was stunned, Wu Zang? No wonder, he thought, how did he suddenly think of inviting him for supper? He must have been hiding this ace up his sleeve.

"Cough, class leader, there's a bit of a misunderstanding here. I can do it on my own, really. I have been reflecting seriously." Li Hao knew Bleem's temperament. He had disappeared for so long after being messed around by him, and now that he appeared again, he was afraid he wouldn't have any free time.

"Brother Hao, the class leader is our top student, and she has a wide range of knowledge on various types of mecha, and the most comprehensive understanding of current tactics. If she helps you, your progress will be very fast." Wu Zang said. He was the one who took the initiative to ask Zhou Naiyi for help, with the condition that he would become a member of Zhou Naiyi's team.

Li Hao could already feel the suspicious glances around him. Zhou Naiyi was definitely a prominent figure in the Tianjing machine martial arts world. In her first year, her EMP score was already 1500, but scores could not represent everything. Her daily performance in all aspects was top-notch. Zhou Naiyi had golden genes and was the kind of person who was beautiful at first sight and even more beautiful and comfortable to be around with the more you looked at her. At 1.68 meters tall with perfect proportions, in Ma Long's words, there was no one in the academy who could compare to her except for Zhou Naiyi, and she was also "both inside and outside".

"Class leader, I think this will only burden you. Our training levels are not the same. How about this, I promise to reach 1200 points this semester." Li Hao said.

Zhou Naiyi looked at Li Hao's solemn promise...this was even more unreliable, but she did her best.

"Wu Zang, let's leave it at that for now. If there's anything I can help with later, it's the same as before." Zhou Naiyi didn't linger. After all, she had fulfilled her promise, and if the other party didn't need it, she couldn't force it.

Wu Zang nodded helplessly, "Class leader, don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise."

There was no way around it. Wu Zang dragged Li Hao to practice for two hours before returning.

"Brother Hao, aren't you feeling great today? Are you going to treat us?" Ma Long wiggled his eyebrows and said. He came up with the idea, and Wu Zang made it happen. He knew it would work for sure.

"Brother Hao refused." Wu Zang said helplessly.

"What? What's going on? Brother Hao, that's Zhou Naiyi, Zhou Naiyi, such a rare opportunity to be with a beauty!" Ma Long was speechless. How could he refuse the chance to be with a beauty like her? He felt like the only normal person in the dorm room.

"I'm afraid of delaying the training with the senior sister," Li Hao said, choking Left Xiaopang by the neck, "You bastard, you said we would degenerate together, how come you're the only one who flew away? I thought we were the last two 'peerless heroes'."

Left Xiaopang stuck his tongue out, "It's not my fault, I didn't know they would add so many points for shooting."

"I don't care, compensate me for my mental loss at breakfast tomorrow!"

The new semester has begun and the entire Tianjing Military Academy is bustling with activity. Major clubs are showcasing their unique talents to recruit new members. This year is different from previous years as the new school principal is said to have brought a generous endowment with her. General Long is not an ordinary person - not only is she personally charming, but she also has invaluable connections. As a result, the Tianjing Military Academy's budget has increased twofold and many talented individuals have been recruited.

Li Hao and his friends were dragged along by Ma Long. They were not particularly interested in the freshman welcome event, but they decided to attend just for the sake of it. In Ma Dong's words, they were a group of clueless blockheads.

Ma Long is the president of the photography club - a handsome and tasteful man who is naturally skilled in photography. In addition, he is also a master of figure painting, although currently only for the exclusive use of his classmate, Sheng Xuejie. Ma is truly a multi-talented individual.

After spending an hour carefully dressing up in the morning, the warm sunshine shone on his handsome face, causing several female students to become infatuated with him.

Ma Long has a certain standard for the photography club and not everyone can join. This has caused some members of other clubs to have murderous looks in their eyes.

"Brothers, youth, what is youth? We should be adventurous, take the initiative, and have thick skin. Do we really need to wait for the pretty girls to approach us?" Ma Laoshi couldn't help but give a lecture. "Don't blame me for not being a good brother. If you see someone you like, just ask me for their contact information. I'll give you free guidance."

Li Hao and his friends were speechless. They were commanded around by this guy all morning, carrying luggage and showing them the way, serving to highlight his "greatness."

"Bro, I suspect you are manipulating us. Did you intentionally leave that large plate of chicken and noodles on the table yesterday?" Even Zuo Xiaotang could sense the conspiracy.

"What are you talking about? We are brothers. Eating some noodles together is nothing. Let me tell you, the newly enrolled female students are pure and full of imagination about love. They are beautiful and easy to seduce. A bold and meticulous approach with thick skin will lead to great success. Trust me!" Ma Long boasted.

"Aren't you afraid of Sheng Man Senior Sister losing her temper?"

"Don't worry, this is just art appreciation. We're not doing anything wrong. Sheng Man understands that, which is why we get along so well." Ma Long smugly replied.

To be honest, if they weren't roommates, all three of them would want to beat him up and teach him a lesson. Sheng Man is stunningly beautiful and can tolerate Ma Long's artistic personality.

"Quick, quick, quick! This year is going to be exciting!" Ma Long's eyes lit up as he pointed towards the school gate. A female student came in dragging a simple luggage bag, wearing a simple white T-shirt. She was about 1.7 meters tall with long and fair legs under a short skirt. She shook her ponytail and looked at the Tianjing Military Academy's signature statue with a happy smile. Her charming dimples were a fatal blow to straight men.

"Amazing! In the past, Manman and Zhou Nai were considered the most outstanding students in our school. But this new female student seems to surpass them. It seems like she is bound to cause a stir."Ma Long sighed and regretted that he already had a partner, otherwise he would have launched a full-scale attack. This was the kind of situation where he would rather make a mistake than let it go.

Li Hao and the others couldn't help but stare for a while. Of course, they were more subtle about it. Several eager senior brothers had already rushed up. The sophomores weren't that thirsty yet, but the single male students in their junior and senior years understood what it meant to be quick on the draw. This was the same principle as the cafeteria, if you come too late, there will only be leftovers.

The key is that no one knows who likes whom.

"Pft, they're all trying to show off, but I bet none of them will succeed." Ma Long laughed.

"Bro, what do you mean?" Zuo Xiaotang asked curiously.

"You see, the texture of her suitcase is very comfortable, it's made of carbon fiber, pretty cool, and it's worth at least 50,000 yuan. The deep blue hair tie she's wearing is a new model from the starry sky series by Arths, also not expensive, only 95,000... Do you think a bunch of bumpkins can easily get a girl like this?" Even Li Hao couldn't help himself, "That little thing is worth 95,000? Why not just steal it?"

"Hao Ge, even a piece of paper used by Arths will double in value. She's not from our world. This girl is beautiful and has good conditions. How many admirers do you think she's had since she was young? Brothers, even with my level of skill, I only have a 30% chance of success against someone like this!" At first glance, it was all about impressions, but after looking at the details, Ma Long knew that she was very difficult to deal with.

A girl with such conditions would either have been promiscuous from a young age, and would have an uncontainable sexiness about her, or she would be extremely disciplined, which would make her demands on her partner top-notch. Neither of these types are easy to deal with.

The polite refusal of the senior brothers' help showed that she was waiting for someone. Of course, there were a few who refused to leave and continued to pester her, until Zhou Naiyi appeared.

The two stood together, and the weather seemed to be even brighter today.

"Senior brothers, it's about time to stop." Zhou Naiyi stopped the several people who were still pestering her.

"Naiyi, don't be so ungrateful. We're just trying to help you, as a fellow student!" Zhao Zhihan smiled slightly, not willing to back down. If it wasn't for Zhou Naiyi's high status, she wouldn't let her go either. Good women are afraid of being harassed by persistent men.

"That's right, besides, why do you have the right to interfere with our private affairs? You're not my girlfriend." Several senior brothers shouted and joked. Zhou Naiyi had been the subject of their desires for a long time, and was almost a mandatory topic in the male dormitory.

Zhou Naiyi hadn't spoken yet, but the "knight" had already arrived. Ma Long appeared with a serious face and said, "This student, the security just informed me that you must leave this school immediately!"

Obviously, the target was the girl in front of them. The girl herself was stunned, "Me? Why?"Ma Long nodded his head, his gaze becoming deep. "Junior sister, your beauty will outshine all the other girls in the school." It was only then that the others reacted, with the girl smiling while the others' expressions turned sour.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"Ma Long, get lost, will you? Are you trying to hit on someone while having a girlfriend? Do you want to get beaten up?" The leader of the group, Zhao Zhihan, was a fourth-year student majoring in mecha engineering and the head of the student union's external relations department. He had fallen in love at first sight with the girl in front of him. Ma Long, a second-generation rich kid, was a dime a dozen in Tianjing. He was nothing special.

"Junior sister, nice to meet you. I am Zhao Zhihan, head of the external relations department of the student union, the leader of this year's mecha competition team, and also the main player on the school team. I wonder if I have the honor of showing you around our beautiful school?" Zhao Zhihan stared at the girl with a burning gaze, emanating an air of dominance.

Zhou Naiyi shook her head and silently watched the other's performance.

"Senior Zhao, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in losers. You should spend more time practicing. President Long sent me here to replace you." The girl smiled faintly, her tone gentle but her words not at all polite.

The other male students took it as a joke, but Zhao Zhihan's face changed. "You... are Ye Tong?"
