Chapter 44 Game? Training!
Hu Ping was talking nonsense, saying that his sister's story was all made up, just to speak up for Fan Li.

Fan Li was not on guard, thinking that they were just students and he was satisfying their curiosity.

Hu Ping revealed almost everything, including age, family background, where he graduated, how many years he had been a soldier, his tastes, and even the fact that he liked red underwear.

It seems like something has broken in.

Instructor Fan has been severely controlled by Hu Ping.

Their level of professionalism is comparable to that of the old men and women working under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

Hu Ping, who was just about to expose Instructor Fan's family background, finally let Fan Li go and shifted his target.

"Cai Cai, what do you like to eat? I'll treat you to your favorite food when we get back."

Su Xiaocai: "I love the dishes made by Xiaowanzi. If you can't satisfy me, give up."

"I saw your family selling fruit online. Your house must be very big."

"You'll know if you go and take a look. The Su planet is a planet for travelers.

"I want to know which instructor taught you how to fly a mecha when you were a child."

"Don't meddle in the affairs of geniuses."

"People on the Internet say that you are reincarnated or have traveled through time, and that the protagonists in novels are not as awesome as you. What do you think about this?"

"Stop the brain."

It was watertight and too hard to chew, so Hu Ping temporarily gave up on this bone and turned to Feng Wansha and Li Leilei.

After arriving at the base station, the group felt a little dazed, not understanding why they had opened their mouths.

Hu Ping is in high spirits. With his eloquence, he would be very popular as a matchmaker.

When they arrived at the base station, Su Xiaocai let Feng Wansha enter the base station to sign in.

The first group of soldiers said hello to Fan Li and left.

Su Xiaocai was waiting for Feng Wansha at the door, while the others went to patrol around the base station to see if there was anything unusual.

The base station is similar to a space station. It orbits the mechanical planet and collects space information.

If there is a large-scale cosmic disaster or Zerg attack, it will be quickly reflected to the mechanical planet.

The soldiers were stationed here because they were afraid that something would be damaged and that messages could not be delivered in time.

It's double insurance.

The Zerg are a cunning race, and they can destroy things very quickly. They have attacked base stations in the past and then tried to invade mechanical planets.

It’s not that humans haven’t actively searched for traces of the Zerg, but they hide deep in space and are distributed on the edges of galaxies. They are like guerrillas, eating creatures and then running away, making them very difficult to eliminate.

So many years have passed, and the Zerg have not launched a large-scale attack.

This left Su Xiaocai completely puzzled.

Patrolling the base station is boring, and for those stationed there, waiting for five or six hours is very hard.

After Fan Li taught them how to patrol, they formed teams of two and went out to check every twenty minutes or half an hour.

The patrol intervals and frequencies are not fixed to prevent the enemy from figuring out our routines.

However, it is necessary to patrol at least ten times, and each patrol must be registered, video recorded and photos taken and reported.

It's cumbersome, but necessary.

All students in the Mecha Academy of Military Training have learned simple tactics and understand the importance of patrolling.

Although they understood it, the two lively guys Hu Ping and Wu Qingqing were both scratching their heads in boredom.

Su Xiaocai thought about it and decided to ask them to do some exercise near the base station.

The base station has no air and little gravity, making it ideal for testing close-range space tactics.

Space melee combat and ground melee combat are two completely different concepts.

The ground has resistance and attraction, so energy is used up much faster. The advantage is that you won't be thrown away all of a sudden and get lost.

It is difficult to accurately measure distances in space. A mecha engine may give a slight push, and a person will fly hundreds of meters and cannot stop.

It is important to train your emergency stop reaction.

Wu Qingqing was the first to agree, and Liu Xun also raised his hand to say yes, and the others had no objections.

As for Li Leilei and Feng Wansha, they were also forced to learn.

Let’s not do anything complicated for now. An exercise that is a bit game-like will be more effective. Su Xiaocai asked them to play a game of mutual pushing.

Two people stand face to face, one of them does the pushing, making a move once every ten seconds, and can push the other person in any direction. The other person cannot move, and can only control the mecha within the circled range.

Do this three times in a row, then go to the other side and do a push.

Practice first, then challenge each other in the end. The one who uses the least energy will be the winner, and the one who uses more than 20% of energy will be the loser.

The same patrol mission will last for ten days or so, and Su Xiaocai stipulates that it should be carried out for two consecutive days.

The winner will get a cooking robot.

Liu Xun wiped his saliva. He could, he must win.

The family conditions are not good, and the food they cook is not very good. He has been wanting to buy a cooking machine for a long time.

They have all eaten the food made by Chibi Maruko.

It's delicious beyond imagination, there are tens of thousands of recipes, and the taste will be adjusted according to your evaluation of the food.

With the angel-like little Maruko around, his mother no longer has to worry about him going hungry.

Su Xiaocai made one point clear in advance: "This type of robot is not suitable for back-kitchen work because it is not a chef and cannot innovate."

More importantly, cooking robots cannot be treated like cows. In other words, they cannot be used in restaurant kitchens. They will break down quickly after long periods of high-intensity work. Five meals a day is already the limit.

"Understood." Liu Xun wanted to be the first to play, but Li Heng pulled him away to go on patrol first.

Wu Qingqing and Hu Ping, who were not on patrol, stared at each other with full fighting spirit. They were ready to fight for Chibi Maruko-chan.

Feng Wansha and Li Leilei are more Buddhist. Although Li Leilei doesn't know what the dishes made by the cooking robot will taste like, she really wants to get Su Xiaocai's reward.

Feng Wansha didn't need to say anything. Anyway, she could eat the dishes made by Chibi Maruko again after returning to school.

Su Xiaocai: "Okay, let's start the game."

They started playing the game as soon as they said they would, and they even forgot to ask Fan Li's consent.

"Coach Fan, why are you still standing aside? Come and be the referee." Su Xiaocai gave him the referee position.

Fan Li really wanted to laugh at them.

Taking Colonel Bai's intention into consideration, they were allowed to do some space adaptation training within their capabilities without affecting the base station patrol.

Su Xiaocai’s game is a good way to train them on turning and stopping in space.

He didn't say anything and just let things take their course and served as the referee.

The four of them had started playing. After ten minutes, Ji Heng and Liu Xun came back. Hu Ping took Wu Qingqing out on patrol, and it was Ji Heng and Liu Xun's turn to compete.

After coming back, Fan Li would go out on patrol with Feng Wansha or Li Leilei.

Except Su Xiaocai, everyone else took a turn playing the game.

The essence of the game is to exercise.

But when everyone treats it as a game, all they have is a damn strong desire to win, and the drive to put in 100% of their passion and enthusiasm.

Therefore, some middle school words often appear in the scene.

"Tsk, damn Hu Ping, next time, you will see a completely new me."

"You can't do this, you slow Liu turtle, look at me slapping you left and right."

The sky was full of people being photographed.

The rules of this game are very simple, but the difficulty is very high. The thrust of the mecha forward, backward, left and right must be controlled just right, otherwise it will fly out of the circle if you are not careful.

Everyone was in a panic at first, but later they got used to it and had a lot of fun.

You have to calculate energy, you can't go out of the circle, and it also tests your reaction speed.

For a top student, the more difficult something is to control, the more challenging it feels.

Happiness is always short-lived. The happier you are, the faster time goes by. Five hours of work was completed just like that.

Finally, the energy destroyed and the number of times they were pushed out of the circle were counted to determine the outcome of this practice. Although it would not be included in the results of tomorrow's competition, they were all full of fighting spirit and wanted to be the winner.

"I only used 25% of my energy for patrolling and playing games." Liu Xun was very proud and felt that he had entered the ranks of experts.

Hu Ping's nose was raised high, and he said proudly: "Twenty-two percent, that's the limit, right?"

Liu Xun: “…” What a damn junior, how could he do that.

Wu Qingqing: "Haha, I'm only twenty-two. I patrol the same number of times as you do."

Ji Heng: “Twenty percent.”

"Wow, Brother Ji, you are awesome. Please share your experience with us." Liu Xun said flatteringly.

Hu Ping: "Brother, it's OK for you to keep quiet."

But the real ace in the hole was not Ji Heng, but two mecha designers.

"I... 19 percent, I patrolled five times."

Feng Wansha said casually: "Seventeen percent, five patrols." All the mecha system personnel were killed. When it comes to understanding the characteristics of mechas, of course, it has to be the mecha master.

The mechas they make are usually the first to be tested, and they need to calculate each data change, the lowest value, and the highest value.

After being trained by Su Xiaocai, Feng Wansha knew the theoretical operations even though she had never practiced them.

She is smart and has good physical reactions, so operating the mecha is not difficult for her.

I tried my best, but lost to an amateur.

Hu Ping and others doubted life.

There are data for comparison.

"Sister Feng, teach me."

"Shasha, you actually hid something."

It was the first time that Feng Wansha felt so popular. She didn't enjoy it at all and wanted to escape.

She understood why Su Xiaocai acted like a jerk and didn't want to talk to anyone all day long.

These idiots are so clingy.

The idiots are quarreling.

Fan Li quietly looked at the energy consumption of his mecha. He did not participate in the game, but he went on ten patrols and actually used up 12% of the energy.

Does he also need to learn from these kids and consciously control energy usage?

On the way back, the team members kept chasing Feng Wansha to ask her how she did it, and Fan Li also pricked up his ears to listen to Feng Wansha's sharing.

Feng Wansha’s explanation was very professional. She started with the deconstruction of energy and then moved on to the more complex aspects.

"Desperately saving energy has its own drawbacks. This tests the quality of the energy device. After you use this method frequently, remember to check the energy device regularly and clean out the accumulated substances inside. Otherwise, after a long time, you will not be able to save energy again."

"Okay, okay, go back and teach us how to read it."

Feng Wansha: "The driving method was taught to me by Cai Cai. You can ask Cai Cai for more tips."

In an instant, everyone's attention turned to Su Xiaocai.

Fan Li had a complicated expression. He had been in the army for so long, but no one had ever taught him this little trick.

This is considered an exclusive secret recipe. Even if many people find that this can save energy, they don’t know the principles and subsequent problems.

Even if they know, they will keep it to themselves. After all, everyone wants to be a little bit better than others.

Throwing the matter back to Su Xiaocai, Feng Wansha was quietly happy.

It is better to let professionals teach driving skills.

Su Xiaocai didn't mind being annoyed and took over Feng Wansha's topic, pointing out their driving problems and the lack of compatibility with the mecha itself.

"Wu Qingqing's mecha uses a high-powered energy device. If you want to be a scout in the team, replace the energy device first. Then throw away a few of your weapons. If you want to be a vanguard, change to some weapons with longer endurance and less prone to damage. Remember to simplify."

High-powered energy devices are more suitable for rapid attacks.

Her body is covered with weapons, and if you don't know her, you might think she is a mobile turret.

Wu Qingqing blushed. What she had been thinking about at the beginning was what to do if they didn't have enough weapons when fighting against Zerg in space, so she couldn't help but write down several more items when filling out the information.

The military was straightforward enough to equip all her mechas with the weapons she chose, without considering the balance at all.

It’s all because of her cousin who always undermines her confidence and makes her feel insecure.

Wu Qingqing quickly came to the point of not wasting time on internal friction when it comes to things that can be blamed on others. Just now, when she was driving the mecha, she chattered away to Feng Wansha about her thoughts.

The troubles thrown out will come back in the blink of an eye.

Feng Wansha: “…” I admire you. When it comes to smart people, no one can match you when it comes to scheming, and Su Xiaocai is the best among them.

Su Xiaocai continued, "Hu Ping's thinking is very fast, which makes him very suitable for making unexpected attacks. Are you interested in becoming an assassin? I will teach you. After fifteen days, you will be a mecha master at the level of a competition player."

Hu Ping has a good foundation, is good at thinking, and takes a path that is difficult for others to understand. With just half a month of training, Su Xiaocai is sure that he will be the most unexpected chess piece among the competitive players.

The man in the mecha was silent for a long time before he said, "Even if you teach me, I can't go to the competition."

"Why?" Liu Xun has been curious about this question for a long time. He heard from other seniors that Hu Ping had the opportunity to be a contestant before, but for some reason he was not selected, and then he gave up.

"Nothing, I just beat up the son of the school instructor. During the recommendation period, they specially arranged for strong contestants to compete in a round-robin match. I took the initiative to leave."

"what?"

Isn't military training famous for being fair? Is a private instructor qualified to be a training officer?
"I sued the instructor, but he didn't do anything out of line. He just made things difficult for me. I couldn't handle it and quit on my own initiative. I can't blame others. The principal was very good and demoted the instructor. He is no longer the main instructor. I am quite happy about that."

Hu Ping, who has always known how to make choices, feels that it is better to be happy and be himself than to be a contestant under an instructor he dislikes.

"Bah, you rich man Hu, you like to be the dazzling one wherever you go. That instructor has no taste." In Liu Xun's mind, Hu Ping is the conspicuous bag who likes to show off the most and likes to be sought after.

What kind of injustice has the super sunny "Hu Youqian" suffered in the past.

Su Xiaocai smiled and said, "It's okay. Once you learn it well, you can regain your position in the game. You can even fight against several insects alone."

Hu Pian couldn't hold back his smile, "Okay!"

The dull atmosphere became lively again. Su Xiaocai's suggestion to Ji Heng was to kill the insect people or fight with more people. He was a very talented balanced mecha master.

He is good at everything and can learn everything well, but he still has too little combat experience.

Ji Heng, who doesn’t have social anxiety, said: “I can’t find anyone.”

"Go and provoke the instructors in the base. Get up two hours earlier every day. The instructors there are very suitable for you to practice. Don't be afraid of getting angry and having a bad impact. Our instructor Fan is not a decoration." Su Xiaocai tagged Fan Li: "Instructor Fan, right?"

Fan Li, the squad instructor who was shot in the knee, wanted to attack Su Xiaocai through the signal stream of the communicator.

This bastard has a brain full of bamboo shoots.

She took away all the bamboo shoots on the mountain.

Instructor Fan did not stop Ji Heng from asking the instructors for advice. He only said, "They are all respectable soldiers. You are asking for advice, not provoking them. Be polite."

Ji Heng smiled shyly, "Okay."

Su Xiaocai: "I know I was wrong. I was asking for advice, not provoking."

Shut up!

Based on Su Xiaocai's selfless teaching, the upright Fan Li felt that he had stolen her knowledge and could not open his mouth to scold her.

The mecha entered the orbit of the mechanical planet, docked with the orbit, passed through the cleaning pool, disinfected the mecha, and was blown dry with strong wind. Only after completing a series of operations did the driver come out of the cabin.

During the remaining time, others can take a rest, but Ji Heng cannot, he has to continue training.

A group of energetic naughty kids said they can play again, no, they can practice again.

Su Xiaocai saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. She wanted to go to Ji Li to punch in first, and then go out to the military headquarters to play and see the local customs and culture.

By the way, take a look at the Mechanical Planet Universe Trade Market, which is famous for its mineral resources.

So I separated from them.

The residential area on the mechanical planet is quite far away from the military headquarters.

If she were a student, the instructor would not allow her to apply to leave, but her current boss is Ji Li.

Ji Li, who was bored to death, approved her leave without saying a word. He didn't expect Su Xiaocai to stay in the school infirmary obediently. She was just a "favored student" kicked out by the school, the kind who could do whatever she wanted.

The Space Trade Market was built in the inner ring city, close to the space station, to facilitate merchants in purchasing minerals. There were also many simple factories for processing ores.

Su Xiaocai went there just for the ore, and the local customs and culture were secondary.

Taking the shuttle bus from the military headquarters to the inner ring city, such a long distance, only takes 20 minutes? Too fast, is it a new type of bus?

The answer was quickly revealed.

After waiting for five minutes, Su Xiaocai scanned the code and paid ten yuan to get on the bus.

I looked up to find my seat, but the atmosphere in the well-lit carriage was gloomy and everyone had a gloomy face.

Su Xiaocai felt strange, so she chose the last seat.

As soon as my butt touched the seat, the car started.

The dark blue shuttle bus rushed forward like a rocket, the driver stepped on the power pedal frantically and sped along the bus track.

Take off, take off, take off. The driver drove the bus into a shuttle.

The bus turned sharply, but still did not slow down. The rear end of the bus swung out 120 degrees.

When arriving at a station, the car brakes suddenly.

It gives people the illusion that their internal organs are displaced.

"vomit"

"vomit"

As soon as several passengers got off the bus, they ran to the trash cans to help the sanitation robot.

It was so uncomfortable. Su Xiaocai couldn't help but dry heave twice.

She turned her head to look at the bus that was about to start again. It was a bus with a name starting with YJ, which looked very impressive. She remembered it as the Hell Bus, the first major feature she experienced after coming to Mechanical Planet 022.

It costs ten yuan to ride a roller coaster for twenty minutes with an emergency brake, which is more worthwhile than going to an amusement park.

When she got back, she wrote a blog post to educate netizens about the charm of cheap roller coasters.

Su Xiaocai took a deep breath, took a few steps, and another bus sped past overhead.

The wind hurt her cheeks, and Su Xiaocai realized that she must not take the bus back.
