Phew~
A few minutes later, Dawn No. 3 landed. Within a half-hidden Military Base, Wang Ji finally felt his heart settle.
If he hadn't known so little and been so busy, he would have dealt with that bug that could kill himself first.
It was way too terrifying...
The other stuff was pretty fun, but killing himself was seriously not fun.
His physique had been defined by enormous amounts of energy, along with the entire system's procedures and logical framework. It wasn't something he could change whenever he wanted; it needed to be recalculated.
Besides, he roughly understood that so-called plane crashes, mine explosions, and all attack damage probably didn't come from nowhere. They should all originate from his system's attacks.
Sigh, ignorance was truly frustrating.
"You're afraid of flying too?" As he stood there gathering himself, a gentle, pleasant voice came from beside him.
It was Qi Lin.
Wang Ji glanced at her and shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's complicated."
Until he had fully figured out his own abilities, he wouldn't casually tell anyone about them.
Even if he had unintentionally revealed something, there was nothing he could do about it.
Qi Lin seemed thoughtful, but she didn't know what to say.
There were people in the world who simply never trusted airplanes. Even if they were worth billions, they would never fly, convinced that the moment they boarded a plane, it would crash.
Quietly looking at the side of the big boy's face, Qi Lin tilted her head slightly, the corners of her lips curving upward. Then she raised her hand and gently stroked his hair.
"Pat the fuzz, and the fright goes away."
Her voice was soft and gentle, as though she were comforting a baby.
Wang Ji suddenly froze, slowly turning to look at her. Qi Lin, dressed in her police uniform, seemed to have a somewhat dazed look in her eyes.
Qi Lin also froze. Wang Ji's expression seemed strange, and she didn't know what to do with the hand resting on his head.
"Pat the ears, and the fright lingers."
At that moment, a voice interrupted their daze. Du Qiangwei walked over, casually pinched Wang Ji's earlobe, and continued with a smile.
"It's all right, it's all right." Leina followed up by patting the back of Wang Ji's head, then walked past.
Wang Ji came back to his senses and scratched his head awkwardly, smiling bitterly. "You people... are you humoring a child?"
Qi Lin quietly lowered her hand.
"If you could be a little more chuuni, I'd keep a lollipop ready for you every day." Du Qiangwei turned back, walking backward as she raised an eyebrow at him with a smile.
Wang Ji shook his head, took a light breath, and followed them forward.
As for Zhao Xin and the others, they were already looking around at the military vehicles and soldiers as they followed behind Leina.
They entered the Juxia City base, half-concealed within the mountains. Passing through checkpoint after checkpoint and iron gate after iron gate, they eventually arrived at a spacious area that looked like a laboratory.
All kinds of instruments and screens filled the laboratory's surroundings. Several staff members in white lab coats bustled about, while in the center stood one tall object after another resembling cylindrical glass tanks.
Something floated inside each tank, making everyone's eyes light up. Wang Ji studied them curiously and found that they were all cloud-like black aggregates, seemingly made of Dark Alloy.
They appeared to be of the same material as the God-Slaying Axe he had heard about and seen before.
Buzz~
"Hm, everyone's here."
On one side of the laboratory, an alloy door opened, and a rather gentle voice rang out. Everyone looked over to see a beautiful blonde female officer walking toward them.
Wang Ji knew her. She was General Lian Feng, whom he had met a few times before, a major general.
"I originally planned to have Leina bring these to you, but it's not too late now." She wore a burgundy female officer's uniform, her blonde hair soft and lustrous, her long legs clad in tall boots, and a faint smile on her face.
Leina, who was leading the group, nodded to her. "General Lian Feng."
"Mm." Lian Feng nodded, then looked at Wang Ji with a slight smile. "Wang Ji, how have you been settling in at the academy?"
Wang Ji was slightly surprised by her warmth, but he nodded. "Not bad. Thank you for your concern, General Lian Feng."
"That's good." Lian Feng nodded in relief.
Then she looked to the other side and spoke. "Ge Xiao Lun, come forward."
"Huh?" Ge Xiao Lun had been staring blankly at Du Qiangwei and was startled by the call.
Leina directly kicked him in the butt. "She told you to go up front."
The spacious interior was built entirely of alloy. The walls were alloy, and so was the floor. Their group didn't look crowded standing there at all; the place felt incredibly open.
Ge Xiao Lun stumbled out from the middle of the crowd. Lian Feng said nothing and merely waved her hand, and something miraculous happened.
Chunks of black metal appeared out of thin air, snapping onto Ge Xiao Lun one after another with a series of clatters. He stood there blankly, his eyes gradually widening in shock.
Three seconds later, his entire body was covered in a heavy black suit of metal armor, overflowing with sci-fi style...
"Galaxy Power...?" he murmured in shock.
"Whoa...!" Zhao Xin's mouth fell wide open, his eyes filled with shock and envy.
"Whoa..."
"Wow!"
Other than Leina and Du Qiangwei, who were used to it, the young people all exclaimed in amazement. Even Wang Ji couldn't help marveling. This thing looked far more like Level Three Armor than the Level Three Armor he had studied...
"Hey! Do I get one? Do I get one?" Zhao Xin could no longer hold back. He jumped up and down, raising his hand high.
"Have some manners, damn it!" Leina smacked him on the head.
Zhao Xin pursed his lips and held his head, not daring to talk back.
After Wang Ji finished showing off, Leina had planted her hands on her hips and made it clear to everyone that at Super God Academy, Wang Ji wasn't the boss—she was the big sister.
And Wang Ji, who was supposedly so badass, hadn't argued back. Clearly, this Sun Goddess who claimed to be an alien might be even more badass than Wang Ji.
"Zhao Xin." At that moment, Lian Feng called his name with a smile.
"Yep, coming!" Zhao Xin darted out in a single stride, waiting with a goofy grin.
A moment later, nearly everyone had put on black armor, including Leina, who had donned a black Valkyrie-style suit of armor with a helmet.
Ge Xiao Lun also received a broad, sci-fi-styled greatsword. Liu Chuang received a massive double-edged axe, Rui Mengmeng received a sword, and Qi Lin received a black sniper rifle along with a helmet.
The others didn't receive weapons. Cheng Yaowen had none, while Zhao Xin stared at his two empty hands and fell into deep thought...
Wang Ji, however, looked strangely at Qi Lin's armor. He felt that hers seemed simpler and thinner than everyone else's.
He poked her arm and found that her armor seemed to be composed more of leather armor, with far fewer alloy-plated sections than the others.
Only her chest and joints had a few thin plates. Unlike Rose and Rui Mengmeng, she wasn't covered in thick armor from head to toe.
As for Wang Ji himself, he hadn't received anything.
He wasn't in a hurry, though. He didn't rush to ask. If he was meant to have something, he would get it. If not, then not.
Zhao Xin ran over again and urged him to hurry up and show off his armor, assuming Wang Ji had one too.
Wang Ji merely smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
"Leina, take them back first. Wang Ji, come with me."
While everyone was rejoicing over their new gear, Lian Feng called out to Wang Ji.
