Luo Yan's Value

He Hao moaned a few times and gradually opened his eyes.

At first.

His vision was blurry.

After a moment.

His sight slowly came into focus.

He then saw a huge, metallic, and heavy figure.

He felt a bit dazed.

It seemed familiar.

Suddenly he remembered, that wasn't his Mecha.

Was it 'Black Thunder'?

After killing the Giant Beast, 'Black Thunder' stood up.

The Outer Armor on its abdomen and fists was still falling off.

Bright sparks flew from the damaged mecha parts.

Telling of the brutal battle.

The sun was intense.

Casting a golden glow on 'Black Thunder's' heavy body.

It stood between heaven and earth like a black war god.

At this moment, 'Black Thunder's' cockpit opened, and someone climbed out.

The person leaned on the pitch-black Outer Armor, looked up, and closed their eyes.

Bathed in the sunlight.

On the ground.

Everyone looked at the figure whose form was dyed golden by the sun.

They were astonished, as if seeing a celestial being.

All were shocked.

After a few seconds.

He Hao suddenly shouted, "Which bastard piloted my 'Black Thunder'?"

Li Bohang and Zeng Shan, along with some other students, noticed that the third-year student had woken up.

Li Bohang quickly explained, "It was classmate Luo Yan."

"Senior He Hao, please don't blame him."

"If he hadn't killed the two Giant Beasts, we would all have been in danger."

"He killed two Giant Beasts?" He Hao looked around and then saw the corpses of 'Lili' and 'Si-beast'.

Then he touched his chest, "That's not right. My combat suit is still on me. How could he have activated the Mecha?"

Li Bohang adjusted his glasses and said, "I suspect that classmate Luo might be an 'Innate Resonator'."

"Innate Resonator?"

Zeng Shan and the other classmates looked bewildered.

They had no idea what that was.

He Hao, however, trembled all over.

Then he muttered to himself, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

So Luo Yan is an 'Innate Resonator'.

No wonder Di Zheng would go so far as to support a nobody from the surface to fight a 'Death Match'.

If he's an 'Innate Resonator', then it all makes sense!

At this moment, Zeng Shan and the others were already asking in a rush, "Classmate Li, what is an 'Innate Resonator'?"

Li Bohang smiled slightly and didn't keep them in suspense.

He began to explain.

"For us reserve Mech Masters, even after graduating from the academy, we might not be able to pilot a Mecha."

"Teacher Zhao Yidan already covered this in Mech General Knowledge Class."

"That's right, we can't just achieve 'Resonance' with any Mecha."

"Even with Primary Mechas, which have the lowest Resonance requirements, it's possible to fail."

"Some people might never obtain their own Mecha in their lifetime."

He Hao stood up and said in a deep voice, "But 'Innate Resonators' are different. These guys are like they were born for this."

"They can achieve 'resonance' with any type and any level of mecha."

"Even without wearing a combat suit, without connecting neural wires."

"They can also pilot mecha."

"In the entire Guangling City, there was only one 'Innate Resonator' before. Now there is a second one."

Zeng Shan asked in confusion, "In that case, 'Innate Resonators' just have more choices than others."

"And they don't have to worry about not having a mecha to pilot."

"But classmate Li and senior He, you both seem to hold 'Innate Resonators' in high regard?"

He Hao retorted with a cold laugh, "Just?"

"You don't understand what 'Innate Resonator' represents at all."

Li Bohang seemed to know a lot about this, and smiled, "Teacher Zhao also said that Visualization Techniques have different levels."

"Mecha are the same."

"Based on their performance, they can be divided into primary, intermediate, and advanced levels."

"Above advanced mecha, there are Divine Guards, Divine Generals, and even higher-level mecha."

"Primary, intermediate, and advanced levels, and even Divine Guards, can have their performance improved by modification, adding external equipment."

"To raise the mecha's level assessment."

"However, 'Divine General' level and above mecha cannot be improved through artificial means."

"From the moment these mecha leave the factory, their level is fixed."

"And the higher the level of the mecha, the more difficult 'resonance' becomes."

"Especially mecha of 'Divine General' level and above, most have special performance, so the Mech Masters who can pilot them."

"Are all valuable assets."

Zeng Shan finally understood, "So, 'Innate Resonators' can resonate with all mecha."

"In other words, they can easily achieve 'resonance' with advanced mecha, and can easily pilot 'Divine General' level mecha."

"Is that their value?"

He Hao scoffed, "You're not entirely stupid after all."

"That's right, 'Divine General' level mecha already possess the performance to annihilate a city on their own."

"But not just any Mech Master can 'resonate' with them."

"And for 'Innate Resonators', this is not a problem at all."

"Currently, Guangling only has one 'Divine General' level mecha. If we can train an 'Innate Resonator' into a qualified Mech Master."

"Then Guangling can request another 'Divine General' level mecha from above."

"With two 'Divine General' level mecha, Guangling City will obtain a ticket to enter the 'Desperate Battlefield'!"

"The significance of this is beyond your imagination."

While they were talking.

Luo Yan had already dismounted from the mecha.

He Hao walked over.

He glared at Luo Yan.

He walked past him without a word.

Then he examined 'Black Thunder'.

Finally, he said, "Amateurs shouldn't pilot other people's mecha casually."

"Look, what a mess you've made of 'Black Thunder'."

Luo Yan did not respond.

But at this moment, He Hao added, "However, for an amateur, you did very well."

"Remember to wear a combat suit next time. Although 'Innate Resonators' have some advantages, you can still die if you're not careful."

Luo Yan looked back.

He Hao had already boarded the mecha.

A moment later.

'Black Thunder' restarted.

He Hao's voice came through the external speaker, "Let's go, I'll escort you to the assembly point."

He piloted 'Black Thunder' to pick up the rifle and then walked towards the entrance of the canyon.

In the evening.

Luo Yan and the others arrived at the assembly point.

After arriving at the temporary camp, He Hao went to make his report.

It was evening.

Luo Yan was called into the tent by Wei Fenghua.

Inside the tent, Wei Fenghua picked up a cup of water and swallowed two capsules.

He then said, "He Hao has already told me that you piloted the 'Black Thunder' to kill a Giant Beast and protect your classmates."

"Your performance was good."

"When you return, the academy will give you a reward."

"However."

"You are an 'Innate Resonator'; your potential is immense."

"In future battles, I hope you prioritize your own safety."

"If you have the energy, then help your comrades."

Luo Yan looked at him and asked, "I heard from Zeng Shan that 'Innate Resonators' are valuable 'assets'?"

Wei Fenghua nodded. "That's right."

Luo Yan asked with some confusion, "If that's the case, why didn't the academy or Commander Di stop me from fighting in the Death Match?"

"If I had died, wouldn't that be a loss of a valuable asset?"

Wei Fenghua smiled. "A sharp sword is forged through grinding, and plum blossoms' fragrance comes from bitter cold."

"Do you understand?"

Luo Yan's confusion vanished.

He nodded vigorously. "I understand!"
