Chapter 81: Paying for Innocence

Class B of the First Grade

"70,000 for the energy furnace, 5 million for the mecha."

"Pack it up for 5.5 million."

Ling Cheng’s mouth muscles kept twitching.

"This is a big deal."

"It’s all because of that Yang kid in second grade."

"Starting this trend, now where do we get hundreds of thousands of work points to redeem the energy furnace and mecha?"

Li Zi, who had already returned, was feeling down.

The excitement of winning over Group A had disappeared.

She had imagined that there might be revenge against her.

But she didn’t expect the revenge to come so quickly and fiercely.

Not only did her own team get intercepted by Luo Yan while hunting the giant beast.

He also took Ling Cheng’s energy furnace and her mecha.

All of this happened because of bad luck.

Shen Yu, an ordinary-looking boy, chuckled, "How about we meet Classmate Luo."

"Shall we use 2000 credits to buy the things from him?"

"I asked the teacher about credits."

"The teacher said, ‘Credit is just one factor in our grades determined by the panel of judges.’"

"’As for how to use the credit, we can decide for ourselves.’"

"’As long as everyone on the team is okay with it.’"

Ling Cheng turned to the other students and asked, "What do you think?"

One boy sighed, "Without Shen Yu’s mecha, we won’t have much to do next."

"If we can trade 2000 credits for your energy furnace and ‘Rain Swallow,’ I think it’s worth it."

Other students agreed enthusiastically.

At that moment, Li Zi sighed, "You better be prepared."

"The way Luo Yan acts, I don’t think he’s easy to get along with."

"His way of thinking and values are different from ours."

"So, it’s best not to be too idealistic."

Shen Yu chuckled and said, "Anyway, let’s get in touch with Group A first."

After a moment.

Li Bohang found Luo Yan.

"Group B wants to talk to you."

"They plan to use credit to buy the things you have."

Luo Yan was writing down a few names in his notebook.

They are Liu Ruohan, Yang Likai, and Xia Yun.

Li Bohang said that the three students in Team Three come from well-off families.

The others are all pretty average.

Now.

I heard that Group B wants to use their credits to buy things.

Luo Yan is starting to show a bit of interest.

Credits are not the same as work points.

But in school, you can exchange them for many things.

They are considered quite valuable.

He stood up and asked, "When? Where?"

At two in the afternoon.

Inside a cafe filled with wild grass.

When Luo Yan and Zeng Shan walked in.

They saw two members of Group B.

Shen Yu and Li Zi.

Shen Yu thought Ling Cheng was too impulsive and might cause trouble, so he didn’t let him come over.

As for Li Zi.

She was defeated by Luo Yan.

Bringing her along already showed a sign of weakness.

Saw Luo Yan arriving.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Classmate Luo."

"I…"

Wasn’t given a chance to finish.

Luo Yan said directly, "2000 credits for the energy furnace plus her full combat suit."

He pointed at Li Zi.

Luo Yan had already planned it when he came.

2000 credits at most is equivalent to 400,000 work points.

Group B wanting to buy back the energy furnace and mecha is impossible.

Even the energy furnace, Luo Yan was reluctant to part with.

However.

If Li Zi’s combat suit is added.

It can barely withstand this number.

The resonance requirement of the basic frame is very low.

Unless your luck is really bad.

Otherwise, almost everyone can resonate and drive the mecha.

That’s why the school provided 12 basic frames for students to compete with.

And used a random drawing system.

Because no matter who wins, we can all feel connected in a way.

However.

To feel connected.

You need a combat suit.

The neuron wires must be connected to the driver on the combat suit in order to activate the empathy system.

Also.

Each mecha will record the pilot’s brainwaves.

Only through the device on the helmet of the combat suit.

Can the previous recordings be erased.

Record brainwaves again.

Luo Yan wants Li Zi’s complete combat suit.

Just to erase the previous brainwave records.

Let someone from his team drive the "Rain Swallow."

This will not only add more power to Group A.

But also make it easier for Luo Yan to do what he needs to do next.

When Shen Yu heard that Luo Yan wanted the full combat suit,

He probably guessed his intention.

He frowned and said, "Classmate Luo, we have only just met."

"Can’t we discuss this?"

"It is said, always leave a way out, to meet again in future."

"Trading 2000 credits for an energy furnace and a mecha is already our greatest compromise."

"Wait, hold on."

"Please don’t go."

Luo Yan simply didn’t want to waste time talking to him.

Either meet his demands.

Or meet on the battlefield.

What leave a way out means.

It might have worked in the past.

But now it’s just a joke.

You give others a chance.

They may take advantage of it in the future.

He has been through this kind of thing before.

He doesn’t want to experience it again.

Every scar on his body.

Was the price he paid for his innocence!

Li Zi decisively said, "We promise you."

"2000 credits, for an energy furnace and a full combat suit!"

Shen Yu looked in surprise at the student beside him.

Li Zi pushed up her thick glasses and said, "Trust me."

"If you don’t agree now."

"If he leaves through that door, we’ll only have one mecha left for the next battle."

"Now."

"At least two."

Luo Yan turned around.

Somewhat surprised.

This girl knows herself well.

The matter is settled like this.

Luo Yan earned an extra 2000 credits.

But this is his own business.

Therefore, it will not affect his grades.

Hand over the entire combat suit.

Retrieve the energy furnace.

Shen Yu and the two of them returned to the camp.

They saw some "guests" arriving at the camp.

Xia Yun and Zhou Feng from second grade.

"We want to form an alliance with you."

Inside the command center.

Xia Yun got straight to the point.

Another second grader added, "You should know that our classmate, Wang Lei, has encountered some misfortune."

"We are sorry, but the test must go on."

"We have also heard about your situation."

"Now, you only have two mechas left."

"As a result, out of the four teams, we are the weakest two teams."

"So, why don’t we work together?"

"As long as we defeat the giant beast, no matter who lands the killing blow, our two teams will split the rewards."

"Furthermore, if we join forces, we will have four mechas."

"This way, when other teams want to attack us, they will have to think twice."

Xia Yun also added, "Moreover, with our four mechas, hunting giant beasts will definitely be more efficient."

"What do you think?"

Ling Cheng nodded and said, "I think it’s a good idea."

"What do you all think?"

Shen Yu cautiously replied, "While it sounds good, I believe we should consult the teacher first regarding the credit distribution."

"They agreed, so we joined forces."

He did this for two reasons.

One is to inquire the feasibility of the credit distribution to the jury.

The other is to indirectly make the jury act as witnesses.

Don’t let any conflict happen over credit distribution later.
