Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 179 - 89: The Furious Fatty

Mu Fan, who was sitting quietly, had only truly experienced piloting the RX-16 and the Shura mechas, and once, in a battle against a Warrior-class Thunder Slash, the power of the Thunder Sacrifice Surge Cannon nearly cost him his life after a single strike.

So it seemed...

Mu Fan’s heart suddenly ignited with excitement.

It would be a mecha far surpassing the Thunder Slash!

It might even be on par with the Shura.

The people sitting nearby noticed that the boy had become lost in thought upon taking a seat, and they didn’t know how to start a conversation with him. But from the look of blankness in his eyes, it was apparent what he was contemplating.

He must be mulling over the conditions set by Dingchuan Academy.

It was highly unlikely that he was considering that Thunderhawk, right? If he was, then this kid was incredibly gullible.

Even now, many people thought Ruan Xiongfei was just joking.

But speaking of which, at this very moment, Mu Fan was indeed thinking about this mecha that sounded so formidable by name alone!

The Shura’s energy was down to just 3%; if he didn’t recharge it soon, even starting it up would be a problem.

Black had once attempted to hack into the Shura’s system and failed, later informing him that the Shura’s energy source must be different from that of conventional mechas.

But the Shura’s characteristics were too conspicuous; he did not want to expose the fact that he had inadvertently slaughtered Star Thieves on Loga Star.

He should consult with Black soon to resolve Shura’s energy issue, then acquire a new mecha at Dingchuan Academy!

Clenching his fists tighter and tighter with excitement, the thought of piloting a mecha that belonged to him, freely traversing the starry skies, was incredibly delightful!

His palms gently rubbed together, then suddenly clenched quietly!

That bald uncle from Dingchuan Academy had said, as long as you can beat those who object, all the conditions stand!

If you can’t win, the conditions are null and void!

Creak, his unconscious exertion of strength caused the examinees sitting close by to turn their heads and look at him.

Big brother, you’ve already finished competing. What are you trying to do now?

He subtly shifted one seat over, and suddenly a space cleared around Mu Fan.

"The first round of selections has ended. Dawn Academy will recruit 6 people, Bonar College 8 people, Pulan Military Academy 7 people, Taoyun Academy 9 people, and Dingchuan Academy 10 people. The secondary alternate area will have 10 people, who will be randomly assigned to any academies that have not yet filled their quotas."

The words had barely left the speaker’s mouth when, aside from Taoyun Academy, the representatives of the other academies all wore a wry smile.

They suddenly realized that the 10 people Dingchuan Academy had recruited were all of mediocre level... the real bottom-ranked candidates were all in the secondary alternate area!

Ruan Xiongfei’s every move turned out to be a tactic!

Supervisor He from Taoyun, looked at Ruan Xiongfei with an amused expression. This old rogue soldier was either a genius disguised as a fool or a fool masquerading as a genius; he was really inscrutable.

The ten alternate candidates were quickly randomly assigned, and the four assigned to Dawn Academy were utterly incredulous.

They were actually going to Capital Star!

They didn’t notice the disdain on the face of the person in charge from Dawn.

"The selection has officially ended. Please follow me out to collect your personal belongings and to register your detailed information. Afterward, please keep your Sky Communication open; the admission notice will be delivered by the Galaxy Transport company."

This was the strongest courier service within the Galaxy Federation, with partnerships with the government and many large enterprises. Their delivery security was something you could hardly imagine; there was nothing they couldn’t accomplish.

The atmosphere at the venue heated up once again.

The selection had ended, and many examinees were moved to tears. They wanted to share the joyful news with their families immediately.

Victors are kings. As everyone’s attention focused on these successful candidates, they overlooked those examinees who had forever left their lives on this land. Their families would only receive the military’s cold responses and blunt compensation.

Mu Fan stood up, and seeing the bald uncle from the chair moving towards him, he stopped to wait.

"..." Ruan Xiongfei approached, and his sweeping gaze made Mu Fan uncomfortable all over. The bald uncle’s eyes were sharp as though piercing through everything, and at this moment, they shone brightly. If it weren’t for his promise of so many benefits, perhaps Mu Fan would have walked away by now.

"Hahahaha!"

Bald Ruan suddenly burst into laughter without any warning, drawing the gazes of those around once more. This made the staff from Dingchuan Academy cover their faces in embarrassment; boss, could you embarrass us any further?

Ruan Xiongfei looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He couldn’t believe that he had achieved such a result in this remote place. It was even more thrilling than the time he wiped out three divisions of the Gardot Empire in succession.

It was like a huge bucket of ice water pouring down on a scorching summer day.

"Good kid, just wait for your notification letter from Dingchuan Academy. Once you get there, don’t embarrass me, hahaha!"

After giving Mu Fan a satisfied pat on the shoulder, Ruan Xiongfei strode away, his swagger making the people from the other academies grind their teeth in irritation.

What a generous uncle, Mu Fan thought. Ruan Xiongfei’s attitude was precisely to his liking.

He needed to hurry up and get back his personal belongings and then call Harry; he feared he might have made this good brother worry over the past few days.

Little did he know that right at that moment, Fat Brother was nearly turning Purple Jade Star upside down.

Mu Fan, accustomed to being alone, hadn’t yet realized that his carefree attitude was about to set off an explosive situation.

Following the major who had guided him earlier, Mu Fan made his way back to where the personal belongings were stored.

This combat uniform he was wearing?

Many of the examinees looked at the major questioningly, not wanting to part with the high-tech combat uniform.

"This combat uniform is a memento for all of you, and you may dispose of it as you wish," the major said with a beaming smile.

The crowd cheered. Apart from a dozen or so examinees of noble heritage who looked disdainfully at those around, everyone else, including Mu Fan, wore expressions of joy.

He really loved this suit.

Of course…

Mu Fan, having grown accustomed to frugality, wasn’t about to break his habit of being thrifty in an instant.

He carefully took off the combat uniform, folded it neatly, and stuffed it into his backpack. Then he dressed in his regular clothes, put on the bone conduction invisible earpiece, and finally fastened the special wristwatch that represented Black.

With a "buzz," the wristwatch vibrated, and Mu Fan’s ear was filled with a familiar and dear voice.

"Do you know how long I’ve waited for you? Lord Black has even finished watching all the beauty pageants within two light-years, and you’re only just getting back!!!"

"Your Sky Communication has been blowing up these past few days, and if it weren’t for me blocking for you, you’d have been all over the TV!"

"First, give that Fat Brother a call. I’ll tell you about that troublesome girl later."

As Mu Fan walked out of Jilan Arena and looked up at the sky, the events of the past few days seemed like a dream.

Blending into the crowd, Mu Fan called Fat Brother on Sky Communication, and the connection was almost instantaneous.

"Harry, it’s me, Mu Fan. Is everything normal on your end?" As soon as Mu Fan asked this seemingly normal question, Fat Brother exploded.

"Normal, my ass. Did you know Fat Brother has already reported you missing?"

On the other end, as soon as Fat Brother received Mu Fan’s call, he reacted as if his seat had a spring under it, bouncing off the soft king-sized bed in the star-rated hotel.

His facial flesh couldn’t keep up with his sudden leap, flapping and bouncing for quite a while.

Then, an angry expression returned to Fat Brother’s face, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"But are the police on Purple Jade Star out of their minds? Two minutes later, they told me there was no such person. Damn it, I had no choice but to hire a private detective. They’ve been searching for two days and haven’t found a trace of you!"

"Damn it, Fat Brother has a status too!"

"Where are you now? Hurry over, my old man is coming tomorrow, it’s urgent!"
