Is the mecha just a limiter? Muscle Lock, Activate!

The next day.

A combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Damn, he's so freaking handsome!"

"This guy looks familiar. Could he be Wang Chu, the genius from Star City?"

"I think it is! What's he doing in Yang City?"

"......"

Wang Chu and Su Wanqing walked through the crowd and stepped off the transport ship.

As for Elsa... she transformed into a necklace and sneaked a ride.

"It's been years. I wonder how they are doing," Su Wanqing said with some anticipation.

She left the Star Orphanage relatively early and hasn't seen them for nearly seven or eight years.

Wang Chu didn't speak, looking at the crowds coming and going in the transport hall, lost in thought.

Because "Aqiu" and "Ahao" were just aliases, and the Grandpa and Grandma who ran the Star Orphanage were unwilling to provide specific information, Su Chen, a seventh-level pilot, had to go through several twists and turns to find their whereabouts.

After so many years, Wang Chu suddenly felt that he might have become the most familiar stranger to them.

This time, he came to provide them with some help as much as he could.

Such as modules, materials, and so on.

As orphans from the same orphanage, they know the importance of helping each other and how difficult it is to work hard alone without any support.

Rushing to work immediately after school.

Sometimes, after finishing the first job, they had to rush to the second one.

Until late at night, dragging their tired bodies back to their small rented room, facing the darkness, and falling asleep with uncertainty about the future.

Then waking up and going to school, another day after day.

Wang Chu never thought of himself as a saint.

It's just...

Everyone has it hard.

"Here!"

"Brother Wang Chu, Xiao Qing! We're here!"

Just out of the station, they heard a burst of excited shouts.

Following the sound, a man and a woman were waving at the exit.

They were both relatively thin, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and their clothes were simple and plain, but very neat.

Wang Chu pulled Su Wanqing forward and nodded, "Long time no see!"

The reunion wasn't as exciting as expected.

But seeing that they were both safe and sound, he felt a sense of relief.

Su Wanqing asked curiously, "It's been so many years, how could you recognize us from so far away?"

Aqiu smiled and said, "With your looks, it's hard not to recognize you at a glance!"

"Unlike us, with our average looks, we'd get lost in the crowd."

"Yeah." Ahao smiled and stretched out his hand, but stopped halfway.

He seemed to be about to pat Wang Chu on the shoulder like he used to when they were kids.

Then, he put down his hand, grinned and said, "Especially Brother Wang Chu... getting two SSS-level ratings in a row... you've become the idol of all the new mech pilots in Yang City."

......

The group walked and talked.

Wang Chu learned that after Ahao and Aqiu left the Star Orphanage, they came to Yang City together, supporting each other.

At the ceremony a few days ago.

Ahao drew a green core chip, while Aqiu drew a white core chip.

"I'm so envious..."

Aqiu looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, raised her right hand to slightly block the dazzling sunlight, and murmured softly.

Wang Chu heard her clearly standing next to her, but didn't say any comforting words.

Reality is so cruel.

They grew up together, but in the end, they were divided into different classes because of the core chip.

Comforting them as a beneficiary might only make things worse.

Afterward.

Aqiu and Ahao took Wang Chu and the others to a McDonald's.

"Aqiu, Ahao, these two are your friends?" an older woman asked from behind the counter.

"Yes, Aunt Wang!" Aqiu said excitedly. "This is Wang Chu, and this is Su Wanqing. They are my and Ahao's best friends since childhood."

"Oh, so they're orphans like you!"

Ahao led the group to a corner and sat down familiarly, "We've been working here for many years. Aunt Wang is just a bit blunt, please forgive her."

Wang Chu shrugged, "It's okay."

Soon, Aunt Wang brought over a pile of fried chicken, hamburgers, and cola.

"They're all freshly fried, eat them while they're hot!" Aunt Wang said casually.

A whole table of food, it was obvious that Aunt Wang had taken special care of them.

Su Wanqing smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Wang!"

Aunt Wang was about to go back when she suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Wang Chu for a few more seconds.

"Hey, you look kind of familiar."

"Aqiu said your name is Wang Chu... oh, I remember!"

"You're the genius from Star City who got [Absolute Overclock] and got two SSS-level ratings in a row, right!"

Wang Chu nodded politely, "If there isn't another Wang Chu, then that's me."

Aunt Wang exclaimed.

"I didn't expect Aqiu and Ahao to have a friend like you! You guys are really lucky!"

"Ah, they have a green and a white core chip. Unless something unexpected happens, they'll probably end up working at McDonald's like me."

"You have to take care of them in the future!"

"People's fates are just different, hahaha."

"......"

Aunt Wang rambled on and on before leaving.

The four of them fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

Wang Chu picked up a hamburger and started eating.

From the corner of his eye, he could see that the smiles on Aqiu and Ahao's faces were a little forced, and their faces were a little pale.

However, they quickly adjusted and continued to chat and laugh.

After they were full, Wang Chu looked at the two of them for a while, activated his spirit patterns, and took out a pile of modules.

"The National Mech Warrior Exam is coming up soon. I have two sets of purple modules and a few golden modules here. I'll give them to you."

"Don't rush to refuse. These are all from dungeons. I can't use them, but they might help you get good results in the National Mech Warrior Exam."

The National Mech Warrior Exam was approaching.

If they could get good results in the exam and get into better schools, they would get more resources.

Aqiu smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you, Brother Wang Chu."

Ahao said cheerfully, "I won't be polite with you. How long would I have to work to afford this set of modules?"

Then, the two looked at each other, as if they had made a decision.

"Brother Wang Chu, Xiao Qing."

"The other day, when we were in a dungeon, we got a material that can enter a hidden dungeon. I wonder if you're interested?"
