After exhausting myself to death

Mechas in the real world are the exclusive preserve of soldiers who have awakened their spiritual talents, trained hard for many years, and passed rigorous inspections.

The virtual mecha built from data does not have such high operational requirements and is an experience that everyone can have.

Of course, there is a fee.

Although the entry threshold for virtual mechas has become lower, the difficulty of operation is no less difficult than that of real mechas. Even military students who have not had the opportunity to touch mechas will use it to train on the star network.

Precisely because of its challenge, more people continue to play it, and it also puts mecha battles on the altar.

The appearance of the spiritual body when it enters the Star Network is exactly the same as its appearance in reality, and cannot be faked.

But if you value your privacy and don’t want others to find out, you can also choose to cover it up with a mask.

All in all, you can’t lie to people.

The poor Shen Minghuan put on the ordinary white mask that came with Star Network, which tightly covered most of his face, leaving only his chin exposed.

Since Mosnian can associate the Mo family with his appearance, maybe there is someone else who can.

There are many people like him who choose to hide their appearance. Just by looking at the same mask, there are more than ten people. It is no surprise that Shen Minghuan is among them.

"Hiss, Zhui Feng earned 100,000 star coins just from playing in the ring last month. The star coins and alliance coins are exchanged one-to-one. He earned 100,000 star coins in a month. It's amazing."

"Zhui Feng is not short of money. The others all rented mechas from Xingwang. They are shoddy and may lag if they move too fast. Zhui Feng asked a data engineer to customize them. It is said that just the appearance of the mecha cost a lot of money. Seven digits.”

"Hey, Zhui Feng is on the ring again. Let's take a look. He's on ring number six. Let's get there quickly!"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to place a bet first. Hey, I can make some pocket money."

No matter what time it is, the mecha battle area is the busiest area on the star network.

Shen Minghuan listened to the busy chatter and keenly caught the word "pocket money."

He changed direction naturally and followed the two of them slowly.

The world is declining, and he, Shen Minghuan, actually has to make money himself. How miserable.

The alliance prohibits gambling, with mecha battles being the only exception.

Small gambling, mecha-related gambling is controlled by the alliance, and the amount of each bet will also be limited. If someone loses too much money in one day and exceeds the prescribed limit, the league will also ban that person from betting again within a certain period of time.

Of course you can find unofficial channels, but those are illegal and will only be banned if the alliance finds out.

"It's already started, let's go there quickly."

"Don't you take a second look? Are you casting blindly?"

"You can't place any more bets ten minutes after the game starts. If you hesitate any longer, you won't have time. Besides, no one you doubt can doubt Chai Feng!"

"That's true. Has Zhui Feng not lost yet this month?"

Shen Minghuan followed the crowd quietly to the betting point next to the No. 6 ring. He casually raised his eyes to the stands and judged the identities of the two sides through the shouts of the people around him.

"Bet Zhui Feng." He filled in the confirmation box with all the money left by the original owner.

It can be seen that "Shen Minghuan" is indeed very poor, and his total net worth does not reach the league's limit.

The people around him didn't find it strange. Almost everyone who placed bets placed their bets on Zhui Feng. As expected, Zhui Feng lived up to expectations and won this battle beautifully.

Not much money, Shen Minghuan thought.

In the next second and third games, he bet on Chai Feng again, still using all his property to bet.

But because there were too many people who believed in chasing the wind and the odds were too low, Shen Minghuan didn’t make much money.

He wasn't bothered either, looking at the different types of mechas on the ring with interest. Honestly, it's kind of cool.

But even renting it is too expensive for him, why not make one himself? Shen Minghuan is not interested in fighting, he is more concerned about the details of the mecha.

"Chasing the wind! Chasing the wind! Chasing the wind!"

"Zhui Feng, you are so handsome, accept me as your disciple!"

"Fortunately, Xingwang can record the screen. I have to watch that aerial operation twenty times. Isn't it so smooth? Is Zhui Feng a student of two legendary military academies?"

Zhui Feng ended another battle. He was probably very confident in himself, and he still didn't want to rest after three battles.

Shen Minghuan still glanced casually and bet all the money he earned, "Bet on the rock."

The person next to him who was also placing bets looked at him in surprise and kindly reminded him: "Brother, you just said it wrong. You said it will become a rock."

"That's right, but thank you anyway." Shen Minghuan nodded politely.

"Eh?" The man scratched his head in embarrassment and said nothing more.

He had been next to Shen Minghuan, and when he heard that this man had not hesitated to bet on Zhui Feng in the first few games, he thought he was also a fan of Zhui Feng like them.

Suddenly another burst of cheers erupted from the surroundings. It turned out that Zhui Feng had almost knocked his opponent off the ring.

The man's attention was diverted and he joined the crowd in cheering. He glanced at Shen Minghuan curiously during the gap. The young man still looked calm and seemed confident.

"Young man, you have a strong sense of fighting." Suddenly an old man appeared like a ghost. He tried to pat Shen Minghuan on the shoulder in a friendly manner, not wanting the man to quickly avoid him.

It was as if he had anticipated his movements.

The old man retracted his hand, not feeling embarrassed, "Children are very vigilant, yes, yes, there are many bad people in the world."

"Like you?" Shen Minghuan raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was also wearing a mask. You couldn't see his appearance. You could only see his gray hair and long beard.

The old man chuckled, "Of course I'm not a bad guy. How could a bad guy remind you to pay attention to a bad guy? My little friend, do you understand the mecha battle on the stage?"

Shen Minghuan gave him a strange look and asked, "If I can't understand, how did I place the bet just now? Did it rely on luck?"

The people around who accidentally overheard this conversation felt offended. Before they had time to look back and see who was making such arrogant remarks, there was sudden silence in the noisy surroundings.

"What happened?"

The partner beside him pointed blankly at the ring, "Zhui Feng lost, he actually lost."

"Huh? Then the winner is Rock?"

"I've never heard of this name before. Is it another dark horse that suddenly appeared?"

Zhui Feng was already well-known in the mecha battle area, but now he was defeated by an unknown person, which really made people interested in this "rock".

The man who reminded Shen Minghuan was stunned for a few seconds, and looked back hastily. Unfortunately, he found that the young man who could not hide his childishness despite wearing a mask was no longer where he was.

Shen Minghuan stopped speechlessly, "I said, old sir, why are you following me all the time?"

The old man rubbed his hands and looked him up and down: "Kid, have you ever tested your talent?"

Although current scientific research does not know who can have spiritual talents, according to research statistics, people with talents generally have much stronger perception and understanding.

In layman's terms, it means being smarter, and this is especially obvious in battles.

Shen Minghuan's face was expressionless, "Looking at my age, do you think I've passed the test?"

This was a bit embarrassing. The old man observed it carefully for a moment and asked tentatively: "Not yet?"

In fact, Shen Minghuan's body is not short. It's just that people of the same age in the interstellar era have never lacked nutrition since they were young. They are exceptionally tall and tall, making Shen Minghuan look a little thin.

Even though he knew it, Shen Minghuan was still unhappy. He gritted his teeth and said, "I disappoint you. I've tested it and found that there is no awakening talent."

The old man didn't notice anything wrong with Shen Minghuan's mood. He retorted in surprise: "That's impossible, there must be something wrong with the machine."

He has been observing Shen Minghuan for a long time. After less than three rounds in the ring, this person can judge the outcome with great confidence. The key is that the answer is correct every time.

And, although he had no evidence, he had a vague feeling that this person had long been aware of his secretly peeping gaze, including the keenness shown by the other person when he wanted to pat his shoulder later.

This ability to control the details of the mecha, logical deduction ability, perception of the outside world, and physical reaction ability... are all rare excellences in his life.

When God opens a door for some people, it usually opens all their windows.

Xie Xu didn't believe that a young man who could achieve this level would not have mental talent. He even boldly guessed that he was at least A-level.

As for the test results...

No matter how mature the workmanship is, it is still a machine, and even if it is a machine, it may make mistakes.

Xie Xu stroked his beard and made up his mind, like a strange old man who abducted a minor, with an artificial gentleness in his voice: "Children, do you plan to apply for the Alliance's First Military University?"

The alliance does not have strict regulations on the age for entering university. As long as you have completed the Star Online Compulsory Education Course, you can take the university entrance exam.

There are not many basic courses. Generally speaking, most people nowadays are only eligible to apply for college when they are twenty years old, but there are also some smart people who learn faster.

In the plot, the protagonist Mosnian went to university at the age of sixteen, and coincidentally, he attended the Alliance's First Military University as mentioned by the old man.

There are many universities in the alliance, and the two most popular military schools are the Alliance's First Military University and the Alliance's Supreme Military University.

"Are you so sure I have talent?"

Shen Minghuan chuckled lightly, "I'd like to thank you for your kind words, but if it's true as you said, then I should also study the highest military level."

"Why?" The old man was anxious, and he said earnestly: "What's so good about the Supreme Army? They are just in name. They are incomparable with our First Army. If you are so young, if you study the Supreme Army, then Your life is ruined."

Shen Minghuan said regretfully: "I also want to join the First Army, but I don't have the money."

The First Army was formerly a school for aristocrats, but now it caters to elites from wealthy families. The environment, accommodation, and teaching resources of this school have always been top-notch.

Freshmen who have just entered school can get their hands on expensive mechas, something only the First Army can do.

Therefore, the admission fee is also extremely expensive. So far, no special exception has been made. Even Tang Chaoyan originally paid for it from the alliance.

In comparison, the Supreme Military Academy is much friendlier to the poor. If you are outstanding enough, you will be free of tuition and miscellaneous fees and will also subsidize your living expenses.

Shen Minghuan's words were reasonable and well-founded, but Xie Xu was very hesitant.

He is just an ordinary principal of the First Military School, the top university in the alliance, and he is not very good at breaking the unspoken rules that have been established by the school for many years.

Suddenly he had an idea and clapped his hands happily: "I'll do it for you."
