When Lin Yuan assembled the Mechanical Tail from scratch, a week had already passed. He felt quite proud because, after this assembly, his Mechanical Assembly level finally broke through to level 15, which was a form of recognition.
However, what excited Lin Yuan even more was that this expansion and assembly of the Mechanical Body enhanced his combat capabilities significantly.
Just then, when Lin Yuan opened the spatial information blocker, he received nearly twenty messages all at once, nearly startling him.
He glanced through them and was truly dumbfounded, feeling a mix of laughter and tears, along with endless frustration.
Among these messages, the first two were public notifications regarding training tutorials for E1 level courses: one was a notice for the melee combat course from four days ago, and the other was a notice for the History of Cosmic Life Development course from two days ago.
Well, it seemed he had inadvertently missed two course subjects. He estimated that this time, the two instructors' opinions of him had likely dropped below freezing!
In fact, that was indeed the case. The next two messages were negative feedback notifications from those instructors.
For instance, the instructor responsible for teaching melee combat, known as Bull Master, sternly scolded Lin Yuan in the message and threatened that if he did not show up for the next melee combat class, he would file a request with the Training Base's Ministry of Internal Affairs to permanently block Lin Yuan's evaluation in melee combat subjects and impose a lifetime negative rating as punishment!
The second instructor's message was much gentler—of course, this was relative to the furious Bull Instructor.
This intelligent being with female characteristics delivered a lengthy message of several thousand words admonishing Lin Yuan for his truancy. As punishment, she decreed that from now on, whenever Lin Yuan attended the History of Cosmic Life Development and Tactical Analysis Subject classes, he would have to endure triple the Mission Points required for attendance. In other words, while others only needed to pay 100 Mission Points to attend class, Lin Yuan would have to pay 300 points.
Well, none of this seemed too significant. At this moment, Lin Yuan had already resolved himself to face whatever consequences came his way and continued reading through the remaining messages. Naturally, these included urgent notifications from Jellyfish Z-19 and King Luo urging him to attend class.
However, when those messages arrived, Lin Yuan was completely focused on assembling the Mechanical Tail and thus did not hear them.
When Lin Yuan reached the last message among these notifications, he couldn't help but let out a cry of despair because this message was yet another public notification stating that E1 level Target Student's melee combat course would begin today. He must arrive on time; unfortunately, the instructor was none other than Bull!
Now Lin Yuan couldn't fathom how it had come around to Bull's melee combat class again. However, he could not afford to miss it again; otherwise, Bull might truly become an enraged bull. Fortunately, there was still time.
Without daring to hesitate further, Lin Yuan rushed out in a flurry. He then used teleportation to enter the First Mechanical Hall, which served as an educational building within the Training Base. It contained many spaces where his squad's lecture space was designated as H-1105. Thankfully, this teleportation system was quite user-friendly and directly transported Lin Yuan to the Mechanical Hall H-1105 classroom.
As soon as Lin Yuan appeared there, he realized it was a completely independent area. The surrounding environment simulated a green planet. Not far away on a very flat patch of grass, nearly a hundred Mechanical Warriors were gathered there. Although their Mechanical Bodies lacked any sense of orderliness, it was evident they were focused and maintaining silence because in front of them stood Bull Instructor imparting some knowledge.
"Oops!"
Lin Yuan cursed inwardly. Without a doubt, in this short span of time, he had already found himself at the gunpoint of the Bull Instructor for the third time. Just looking at the Bull Instructor's fierce demeanor made it clear.
"Due to your tardiness, the Bull Instructor has decided to classify you as the worst E1 level Target Student of the year. Therefore, you need to pay 0 Mission Points to qualify for attending the Bull Instructor's class!"
It was a rather harsh piece of news; he didn't even have a say in it, and he was directly deducted 0 Mission Points. This truly made him feel unlucky!
Naturally, Lin Yuan dared not resist and gloomily joined the other Target Students. Fortunately, the Bull Instructor did not single him out but continued his lecture: "As I mentioned earlier, as Mechanical Warriors, close combat is an indispensable part of your lives. However, in battle, if you rely solely on sharp weapons, you are already at a disadvantage. What you need to do is ensure that every part of your Mechanical Body can perform both offensive and defensive functions. Now, we will enter the practical phase. I need you to take turns practicing the Basic Combat Skills I taught you in the last lesson. Those who fail will lose a point in this Monthly Assessment! However, this time, to help you better understand and experience the thrill of real combat, you will face actual enemies instead of simulated targets. You, step forward!"
Just as the Bull Instructor reached this point, a red light suddenly emerged from his Mechanical Arms, locking onto Lin Yuan, who stood at the back. He felt momentarily dazed; he had thought he could evade the instructor's gaze, but it seemed this old man would not let him off easily.
At that moment, as the red light appeared, the surrounding Target Students hurriedly scattered away, leaving Lin Yuan isolated and enveloped by that red glow.
"You will serve as the target. You may use a defensive shield to block their Basic Combat Skills. You have one minute to prepare."
The Bull Instructor's voice was cold and piercing, filling Lin Yuan with anger. This old man was truly infuriating! Wasn't it just one missed class? Did it have to be so severe? Although they were only Basic Combat Skills, there were still 99 E1 level Mechanical Warriors here—if they took turns punching him, would he even survive?
"Instructor, I have a question!" Lin Yuan quickly spoke up; this was unacceptable, and he couldn't just passively accept it!
"Speak!" the Bull Instructor barked.
"Can I use other defensive measures besides that shield?" Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment before changing his mind. He realized this was the Bull's class—his turf—and resisting was pointless. Since that was the case, he might as well negotiate for better conditions.
"Yes, aside from offensive techniques, you may use all defensive skills at your disposal. However, listen closely: since you've fallen behind other Target Students for far too long, you will no longer keep up with the course progress. Therefore, from now until the end of your tenth academic year, you will temporarily serve as a target. Remember that defense is also an important discipline," said the Bull Instructor ominously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the red light immediately contracted and formed a tangible net that ensnared Lin Yuan before he could react and pulled him into another open area. Before long, a Fighting Arena materialized within a thousand-meter radius around him. Outside of this Fighting Arena was a massive cage, making Lin Yuan look like a prisoner.
Inside the Fighting Arena itself suddenly appeared an ordinary shield towering five meters high—clearly his primary means of defense.
"Dammit! I should have just skipped class all along."
Lin Yuan cursed under his breath, but he had no choice but to accept the reality. He quickly picked up the shield, and with his assembly skills, he recognized it immediately as a shield with five times the gravity. Not even those eager fighters could break it with a single punch—Lin Yuan himself could shatter it with ease.
If he had half an hour, he might have been able to double the defensive capabilities of this Gravitational Shield. However, that old man clearly intended to make things difficult for him.
What was even more infuriating was that Bull had evidently turned this into an after-class assignment for all the Target Students, with the evaluation standard being how perfectly one could take down Lin Yuan. Otherwise, they could expect a poor rating.
Having dealt with everything, that old man turned and left, leaving behind a chaotic group of Target Students.
"Hey, Papaya, what were you thinking? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Skipping the first class was one thing, but showing up late for the second? Don’t you know that Bull Master hates those who don’t follow rules or keep time? You’re in trouble; my condolences!" King Luo shouted in exasperation. Now, even if their Thirteenth Brigade wanted to go easy on Lin Yuan because they knew him, it was pointless—there were ten subjects to consider! Moreover, they couldn’t resist Bull Instructor’s poor ratings!
In contrast to King Luo and the others' sighs, the other Target Students in the Squad were excited. Such a rare opportunity for real combat couldn’t be missed. Whether Lin Yuan would be knocked down or injured was hardly a concern; hadn’t they seen that after Bull Master left, two active Repair Mechanical Arms and a medical vehicle appeared nearby? Those who failed to complete their after-class assignments would face dire consequences.
Soon, a Mechanical Warrior from the Fifteenth Regiment jumped into the fighting arena first in line and shouted exuberantly, "Hey there! Get ready! Don’t hold a grudge against me; this is a mandatory mission—three kills coming right up!"
As the Mechanical Warrior shouted, he charged at Lin Yuan like a Mighty Bull!
He didn’t use any weapons because Bull’s Basic Combat Skills focused on close-quarters combat. But that didn’t mean it was any less formidable; after all, anything referred to as combat skills held significant power. Moreover, the Target Student executing these skills was already an elite fighter! (To be continued...)
