Classmate Li Ming, You're Quite Extraordinary!

Even though they saw my face, if I take care of them, it'll be a perfect assassination!

He ran a hand through his hair, Li Ming surveyed his surroundings. The flames were starting to die down, but they wouldn't be completely extinguished anytime soon.

He searched for a direction and finally found the original path leading underground. It was fortunate that the place was so sturdy; Li Ming had lost more than half his health, yet it remained completely undamaged, only the authentication channel outside was broken.

Perfect, that saved Li Ming the trouble of looking for a pass card everywhere.

He squatted down and felt around. After punching it twice with no effect, his hand actually hurt from the recoil. However, Li Ming immediately changed his mind. He raised his hand and unleashed an Inch Punch: Thunderbolt, firing three consecutive energy blasts at the ground. In the midst of the flames, the sound was barely audible.

Finally, a hole nearly two to three meters wide was blasted into the ground.

Upon closer inspection, he realized the steel plate leading underground was over thirty centimeters thick. No wonder his fist hurt from the impact.

He searched around in the darkness. Everything nearby had collapsed. If it weren't for its sturdiness, the entire underground area would likely have caved in. He casually grabbed a burning piece of material and tossed it down. It took only five or six seconds to reach the bottom, so the height probably wasn't too great.

He then jumped down, using the material board for light. After searching for a while, he found the light switch. When he tried it, the area was instantly illuminated. As expected, places like this had their own power supply.

After looking around, he realized this was likely the organization's underground storage. There were all sorts of armor and firearms. He didn't touch the firearms, and even wiped the fingerprints off the switch.

After searching for a while, he threw away the material board he was holding. Flammable objects were not a good idea here; any accident would be troublesome.

After observing for a while, Li Ming found a special area. Inside, however, there was nothing but some documents. He inwardly spat, then quickly left.

Back on the surface, he directly used Inch Punch: Thunderbolt to blast a path through the wall of fire. Stepping out, he found himself in ruins. He looked for the direction he came from and, with a few agile movements, Li Ming left the area.

From a distance, he saw the arriving guards already bringing personnel to extinguish the fire. He quickly fled the scene as if greased lightning.

Once the fire was extinguished, Welt Yang watched the end of the night's farce from mid-air, his expression unreadable.

He traveled stealthily back to his apartment, removed his armor, the Candlelight Armor: First Light, and took a shower. Only then did he notice the bruises all over his body, especially his back and abdomen. However, his indifferent expression gave no hint of any discomfort.

He collapsed onto his bed and slept until morning.

"Ah~, that feels good!" Li Ming stretched and immediately felt something was wrong. "Huh, my back~ my back~ my back, my back is going to break!"

He winced in pain, his entire body feeling like it had been through a washing machine. Bruises covered him from head to toe; it looked painful.

He tentatively touched the bruises, only to find they were real.

"Did someone ambush me last night?" But when he got up to check the door lock, there were no problems. He also checked the window, which was securely locked.

With no other option, Li Ming went to the nearby hospital. It was the same doctor again, who first had him get an X-ray, then examined his body with the results.

"Oh my god!" The doctor pushed up his glasses and carefully touched the bruise on Li Ming's left kidney, then some other bruises. "Could it be that this isn't ordinary bruising, but also infected?"

"No, I think it's just ordinary bruising. It hurts when you touch it."

Li Ming stared with dead eyes, but the doctor seemed to have found a treasure. "No, I don't think we can rule out the possibility of infection. This is a new research topic!"

By the time Li Ming left, his wallet was a little lighter. Looking at his now emaciated wallet and the medicine in his hand, he felt like crying.

"Quack doctor, a big quack doctor!"

Li Ming finally left, casting an angry glance at the hospital.

What a quack, he just eats money!

Despite his curses, he still had to apply the medicine when he got back.

However, after Li Ming returned and applied the medicine, he opened the system and noticed something different: there was a red dot on his armor.

He clicked on it and found that the armor could be repaired.

"So the armor can be repaired. I thought there was going to be another update soon~" Li Ming wiped a non-existent bead of sweat from his forehead. But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt something was off. "Armor repair!"

Li Ming slapped himself a few times before he believed it was real. He stared blankly at the required repair material, Fluid Alloy, which now showed that the conditions were met. He clicked on it and realized he had inexplicably acquired a lot of materials.

"Detected Gemini Soul Crystal *60, Gemini Soul Crystal *60 automatically collected."

"Detected Soul Fragment *240, Soul Fragment *240 automatically collected."

"Detected Fluid Alloy *60, Fluid Alloy *60 automatically collected."

"Detected Fluid Alloy Block *6, Fluid Alloy Block *6 automatically collected."

"Detected Micro Reactor *6, Micro Reactor *6 automatically collected."

The messages had popped up at 3 AM.

"Three in the morning? I remember I was sleeping then."

Li Ming pondered for a moment, feeling a slight chill, but he suppressed his thoughts. He decided to use the inexplicably obtained materials to repair his armor first.

Opening the armor interface, it looked familiar:

Li Ming directly clicked on Upgrade. The level of Candlelight Armor: First Light directly became A-rank. Li Ming glanced at the panel:

Character: Li Ming

Ability: Candlelight Armor: First Light

Star Rank: A, Level: 20, [Physical]

Weapon: Moon God's Protection

Stigmata: None

Skills: 60

The character panel is roughly like this. However, in the confidential data display, everything else is fine: no affiliated organization, male, born in Schicksal, birthday February 8th, height 181cm, weight 65kg.

Armor Story

The Candlelight left by the Heroes 50,000 years ago has finally bloomed its first light in the New Era!

Armor Story (??)

The story of childhood is shrouded in shadows, and what the warrior constantly seeks is merely the brilliance a child expects.

Armor Story (Requires Affection Points ????)

At this moment, with Affection Points [??], Li Ming wants to know more about you.

Armor Damage: 70% (Repair requires Fluid Alloy * 30 and/or Fluid Alloy Block * 10)

After spending 30 units of Fluid Alloy to repair the armor, the Candlelight Armor finally looked complete. However, the repair would take an hour to finish, during which Li Ming couldn't summon [Candlelight Armor: First Light].

"So where did all this stuff come from? What exactly happened after I fell asleep last night?" Li Ming turned on the TV. If he had really shown symptoms of losing control, there would have been a huge commotion.

But looking at it, apart from the news from yesterday being replayed, there were no major events. Li Ming propped his chin with his right hand, watching the TV. He even picked up the newspaper, which he usually didn't pay attention to, and flipped through it, but found no big news.

"Could this really be my belated beginner's gift package?"

Beep beep beep

The mobile phone rang. Before it could even start announcing the caller's number, Li Ming decisively answered it, only to find out that his test report was ready and he was asked to pick it up.

Suppressing his inner panic, Li Ming, with just his student ID, rushed out. This call came at the perfect time. If there was really something wrong with him, only Anti-Entropy and Destiny could handle it.

He hadn't even encountered anyone from Destiny yet, so he could only go to Anti-Entropy. "I'll go to the academy first to see if Teacher Welt is there. If not, I'll go to the hospital. That hospital must have a way to contact Anti-Entropy. If all else fails, I'll have to call Uncle Ryoma in the Far East!"

But when Li Ming rushed all the way to the academy, he found that Welt was not in his office. When he went out, he asked a short-haired female teacher with blue hair and learned that Welt Yang was not present today.

After inquiring, he found out that Welt Yang had taken leave since yesterday to go for a physical examination and would not be here for the next two days.

With panic in his heart, Li Ming excused himself from the female teacher and quickly took the train to St. Doctor's Hospital.

The female teacher watched the pale and hurried teenager from the window and sighed, "A strange existence, suspected Herrscher? I hope the Alliance Leader can handle it well!"

After sitting down, she straightened the nameplate on her desk. The wooden plate was inscribed with a name in golden-bronze lacquer: Ritsell Albert Einstein.

Li Ming emerged from the train amidst the curses of a group of people. He didn't even bother to wait for the elevator, directly taking the emergency stairs, and sprinted towards the office.

But when Li Ming organized his thoughts and pushed the door open, the chair facing away from him turned around, revealing Welt Yang.

Li Ming's pupils constricted. Welt Yang was waiting for him here. Right, his physical examination report from yesterday must be out, so he, a patient eroded by Honkai Energy, would naturally be targeted.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "Teacher Welt, you're still a doctor? Uh, what a coincidence!"

But as Welt raised his hand, blue light condensed, and a virtual mechanical hand closed the door, locking it from the inside to prevent anyone from entering. Then, he rested his chin on his hands and looked at Li Ming with a half-smile, "Student Li Ming, you are quite unusual!"

His pupils constricted again, and Li Ming's heart sank, "Uh, what's so unusual about me? Hahaha..."

"Armor that is different from the combat suits of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, extraordinary Schicksal martial arts, no, no, no, what's even more bizarre is that you are clearly eroded by Honkai Energy, yet you show no discomfort. I am very curious?"

The two stood in a standoff. Looking into Welt Yang's eyes, as Li Ming's words poured out, his heart sank continuously.

Oh no, it seems like Welt Yang has some ill intentions towards me!
