The Scale of Harm

On the school bus.

After listening to He Hao's words.

Luo Yan has a deeper understanding of this 'exchange and learning'.

When Wei Fenghua mentioned "exchange students," he suspected that things weren't so simple.

Now that I hear it, it's indeed true.

All Mecha Academy belong to the ' Giant Beast Strategy Department,' an institution established to train a wide range of Mech Master.

The resources available to each Academy are allocated through the Strategic Affairs Department.

To incentivize the development of the Academy, competition exists between the Academy.

This kind of 'exchange and learning' is one form of competition.

He Hao continued, "In the second semester, there will also be a ' Sports Meet ' that all the Mecha Academy will attend and participate in."

"This semester's 'exchange meeting' is just a 'warm-up'."

Xiao Shi smiled and nodded, saying, "He Hao has said everything I wanted to say."

"However, I would like to add one more point."

"The sending and receiving parties for the 'exchange meeting' are decided by the ' Strategic Affairs Department '."

"Although there are no explicit regulations, the sending party usually assumes that the one with better teaching quality and students has stronger abilities."

"Therefore, the receiving Academy will go all out to teach the sending parties a lesson."

Su Jiu laughed, "It seems we'll receive a warm welcome."

Xiao Shi nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Luo Yan raised his hand. "Is it permissible to kill someone at an exchange meeting?"

The atmosphere in the carriage turned cold.

Xiao Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.

He Hao shouted, "Can you stop thinking about killing people all the time?!"

"We are students, we are Mech Master, not assassins!"

Luo Yan remained unmoved.

He simply believed it was necessary to first clarify the level of intensity in 'communication'.

That's how you act with restraint.

"What is the standard for harm?" he continued.

He Hao's face twitched slightly as he said, "At most, they'll need to stay in the hospital for ten or eight days."

"In short, we cannot kill anyone, nor can we allow the other party to be seriously injured, affecting their future studies and prospects."

Luo Yan asked seriously, "What if he wants to kill me?"

Without hesitation, He Hao replied, "Of course, it would be an unlimited counterattack, but that situation won't happen."

"The Strategic Affairs Department merely encourages competition to hone students, although sometimes there are brutal trials like the ' Forbidden Land Test'."

"But overall, they all place great emphasis on the personal safety of students."

"Of course, even so, students still die every year in various missions."

Luo Yan nodded.

"Theoretically, we cannot kill people."

"We cannot cripple our opponent."

"But if the other party Killing Intent, you can retaliate without restraint."

"I see."

Having figured out the boundaries, Luo Yan shut his mouth.

soon.

The school bus arrived at the surface.

They rendezvoused with the transport mechs.

In addition, there were several escort vehicles.

A convoy left the Undercity and drove across the desolate land.

The presence of the behemoth has caused many roads to break apart.

Sometimes you have to take a very long detour to reach your destination.

However, an underground transportation network is being built between the Undercity Undercity.

Once this underground transportation network is completed, high-speed rail will be available for travel to other Undercity.

No need to venture onto the surface.

Two days later.

The convoy arrived at a Surface Base.

It was evening.

Xiao Shi planned to spend the night here.

This is also a stop that must be passed through on the journey.

The mech transport vehicle was parked outside the base, camouflaged.

Su Jiu and Liu Ruohan, the two girls, knew that it was inconvenient to move around on the surface, and they had no interest in exploring the base.

I decided to stay with the team.

So, the three gentlemen were Xiao Shi, He Hao, and Luo Yan.

They each put on cloaks for disguise.

Same as last time.

I got off the bus.

Luo Yan then smeared mud on his face and hair.

Make yourself look like an adventurer who has just returned from Forbidden Land.

Xiao Shi and He Hao followed suit, making themselves all dirty.

The three then entered the base.

The base was small and dilapidated.

The walls here are pieced together from wooden strips and sheet metal, and are covered in rust.

On the two firing turrets at the gate, base soldiers wearing cloaks and carrying old-fashioned rifles listlessly basked in the wind, gazing at the wilderness.

Upon entering the gate, one sees dilapidated houses everywhere, riddled with holes and drafty from all sides.

They are even worse than the tin shacks at the ' Falcon Base '.

It's not even comparable to the buildings in the ' Dragon Spring Base '.

Walking through the base.

Adventurers, scavengers, and Mercenaries hurried to and fro at the entrances of shacks and in the alleyways.

Holding a variety of weapons, their eyes gleamed with a mixture of greed and malice.

Although Luo Yan and his two companions disguised themselves.

However, these Hyenas with their keen sense of smell detected an overly clean scent on them.

This 'cleanliness' refers not only to their appearance, but also to their habits and temperament.

Luo Yan is doing somewhat better.

Although I've lived in the Undercity for almost half a year, I still retain the habits of the surface world.

For example, staring at someone's neck.

For example, walking in the shadows of a corner.

For example, the killing Qi that emanates naturally.

However, no matter how hard Xiao Shi and He Hao tried to imitate, they could not replicate the habits and aura of the surface survivors.

then.

Without realizing it.

A group of burly men, carrying sharp weapons, began to assess the value of Luo Yan and his two companions.

They walked past the three people, intentionally or unintentionally.

Their blood-red eyes gradually became even redder.

At this moment, Luo Yan stopped.

It stopped next to a dead tree that was about half a meter thick.

His hand landed on the hilt of the ' Star Splitter ' sword.

Choke!

The longsword was suddenly drawn.

It left a trail of pale blue light.

Crossing the dead tree.

The tree suddenly shifted to the left and right, and slowly slid down.

The last piece of tree trunk crashed to the ground, kicking up dust.

That smooth cut.

The men's faces broke into smiles, their eyes straining to conceal their greed and malice as they slowly retreated.

[Honestly, I've been using Yeguoyuedu to read and follow my books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices.]

In the dispersing crowd, a tall, thin figure leaned against the outer wall of a shed.

His gaze fell on ' Star Splitter ' until it was obscured by the cloak.

He silently retreated into the shadows and disappeared.

On the street.

Luo Yan and his two companions bypassed the howling, snatching stray dogs and arrived at a bar.

He Hao looked at Xiao Shi with a puzzled expression. "Teacher, is this also in our 'learning' course?"

Xiao Shi laughed heartily and said, "Of course."

What do you think life is like for Mech Master?

"Is there nothing else besides dealing with giant beasts?"

"Now let me teach you a lesson that the classroom won't teach you."

"Don't underestimate the bars on the surface; they can be considered intelligence hubs."

"If you want to find out anything, don't hesitate to come and browse around the bar."

"Besides."

Xiao Shi reached out to push open the heavy door of the bar. "When we get to the surface, having a drink at the base bar is just a personal hobby for your teacher."

Then he pushed the door open and went in.
