After watching the news for a while in the dormitory, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Garen turned off the computer, got up and opened the door.
Ai Er walked in, his face a little ugly.
"What's wrong with you?" Garen was a little surprised.
"It's okay, but I just asked carefully about the situation at Mia's house." Al closed the door and sat down to pour himself a glass of water. "What are you doing, there is a strange smell of medicine in the room?"
He frowned and looked at the messy dormitory room. The floor was covered with uncollected paper, which was used to place the white stone just now, and some white goose powder remained on it.
"I'll clean it up." Garen rolled up the paper on the ground and threw it into the trash can, then went to find a rag to wipe some places with a lot of stone dust.
Ai Er watched Garen busy, put his hands on the sofa and continued talking.
"Mia's family made a mistake in business investment, lost a lot of money, and now owes a lot of foreign debt."
Garen thought of the girl who often visited him in the hospital. Although he didn't fully remember Nono Xiwa, he would never forget whoever was sincere to him. In his opinion, Mia was really there. There is no selfishness in being nice to Nuonuoxiwa, it is just a relationship between friends.
"What about the impact on her?" He thought for a while and asked.
Ai Er breathed out, not surprised by Garen's flat tone, Nono Siwa has always been like this, taciturn and introverted. Being able to ask such a question has already shown that he is very concerned about this matter.
"It may affect her tuition fees for next year."
"Tuition fee." Garen nodded. The tuition fee of the Black Disk Academy is 70,000 yuan a year, which is not much money for rich people. For ordinary families, this amount is astronomical. The entire annual income of many ordinary families, and even many families do not have so much.
"I'll go back and think of a way." Ai Er was silent for a while, and said.
"What can you do? What about Mia herself? What did he say?" Garen also poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and sat down.
"What can I say, she plans to go out to work, and now she will start to earn next year's tuition for herself. She is also accompanied by a former school girl of hers, who also has a difficult family. In order to study, she goes out to work, and the job is her school girl Introduced to her." Ai Er looked helpless. "Before I came to you, I went to her place just once. She has lost a lot of weight and is very haggard."
Garen nodded.
"Don't worry about Mia. I might be able to think of a way here."
"You? What can you think of?" Aier couldn't help raising his voice, "You still owe the teacher more than one million."
Seeing that Garen was not in a hurry, he felt blocked.
"You're impatient." Garen shook his head. "Impatience doesn't fix anything, it just makes you worse."
"It's me who is impatient." Ai Er also knew that he had lost his composure, lowered his head and lowered his voice.
"It is precisely because I owe more than one million yuan that I want to find a way by myself." Gallon was interrupted by Ai Er before he finished speaking.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll talk to my dad when I go back, and see what he can do. You can rest first." Aier lowered his head and didn't want to say any more. He stood up, "I'm leaving."
Garen watched him get up and open the door, and when he left, he slammed the door shut. He also stood up, did not speak, just sighed. The current situation is socially turbulent, and the lifeline of doing business largely depends on the government's policies, and policies change every day, with ebbs and flows, and there will be such ups and downs every once in a while. This is the sorrow of troubled times. Only at the mercy of others.
*****************
The black disk qualifying match was held in the shadow under the huge battleship, and this shadow was the safest place in the entire black disk academy.
A conical silver light curtain was projected from below the battleship in the sky, from a distance, it was like a silver veil, looming. Inside the silver yarn is a huge cylindrical arena with a diameter of over a thousand meters.
The white arena is divided into many competition areas, and each area is surrounded by dedicated energy-supplying robots to continuously replenish the protective barrier. A team of people from each school and department walked into each competition area along the entrance of the arena.
The teams at the entrance lined up one after another, surrounded by spectators and students who were cheering on, as well as some family members of students visiting from outside and students from other colleges. Shouts came one after another, and there were even various fireworks salutes simulated with light and shadow effects.
"The teams entering the arena now are B2 grade teams. The top three teams sent as representatives are all girls. Compared to last year when only one boy was selected, this year is obviously more extreme."
The radio voice introduced each participating team impassionedly with enthusiasm.
Garen stood in the team of class c5, standing side by side with Faberie and the second place Sarah. Slightly, Feiberie had to stand a little forward as the first place. The three stood alone among a large number of participating students, and compared with other outstanding students from various classes around them, they suddenly seemed not so conspicuous.
"Did you see the class on the right in front of us?" Fei Bailie suddenly said softly. Amidst the lively cheers, his voice was directly transmitted to the ears of Garen and Sara through the pager. "Pay attention to the dark-haired girl in the middle."
Garen and Sara followed his gaze. Among the three people in that class, a girl with short black hair was talking with one hand on the shoulder of a girl with long pink hair. Confident, the sharp hair tips are like many fine and dense spikes, combined with the bold and unrestrained feeling of girls' gestures, it gives people a strong sense of confidence and courage.
"That person's name is Melses, and she's one of the two strongest people in our C grade. I was defeated by her last year, and I didn't last a minute." Fabriel said calmly, but his eyes were dark. There is still a hint of unwillingness everywhere. However, he has always been moody and angry, and he didn't show it very clearly.
"Mercy's melee manipulation level has reached at least level two, and she is a very tough opponent. Both of you are long-range shooters, so be careful not to let her get close." Fabriel solemnly urged.
"Understood." Sara and Gallon both nodded.
Garen knew himself, without Crescent Moon, he had tested his own strength, and it was only below level one. If he used his real level, he would even be able to run in a mech, let alone dodge a battle. Compared with these real elites, it is undoubtedly very fragile.
And his strength is actual combat outside of the mecha, but it is completely unfamiliar to use it on the mecha. Although he has the operation experience of the Buddha mother, this world is completely different, and the operation mode is also the pure spiritual control of the Buddha mother. It's different, consciousness looks more like the whole body's cellular consciousness, cellular biological force field, which is closely related to the development of the body.
Garen pondered, reckoning that his Life Secret Martial Cold Prison Peacock Kungfu has been practiced to a certain level, and it should be able to enhance consciousness to a certain extent. But now he is still extremely fragile.
Faced with such a state of his own, this opponent named Melses is really a very tough guy.
"In addition to this person, there is another person who is considered to be the strongest person in our C grade." Fei Bailie introduced the situation of the competition to the two of them. His family is not an ordinary small force, and he has already had information about this. Collected, in order to increase the overall ranking of his class, at this time, he also actually increased the understanding of the opponent for the two teammates, so as to slightly increase the odds of winning.
"Barry Visalia, everyone calls him Barry. He hasn't come yet, and that person is also a very scary guy. Be careful!" Mentioning that person, Fabriel also showed a rare look of dread.
"Scary?" Sarah narrowed her eyes, "Why do you say he is scary?"
Fabriel glanced at Sarah. "Barry has a nickname, called the Mech Smasher. More than half of his opponents are crushed by 80% of the mechs directly with the weapons on his hands. His two-handed weapons are a pair of high-speed cutting chainsaws .I once tore more than a dozen mechas in the entrance test competition. Killed three people and severely maimed twelve people."
Hiss.
Sara took a deep breath. A weapon like a chainsaw is extremely lethal, but its consumption of energy blocks is also horrific. Two chainsaws can only support a standard mecha for one and a half minutes. In other words, those who dare to use this kind of weapon are either crazy or have absolute confidence in themselves.
"Barry and Mercedes" Garen knew in his heart that this time he came directly for the championship spot. As a special treatment for freshmen, the top three in the same department are not only eligible to be included in the academy's elite team, but also get 100,000 yuan Point rewards, even the top ten can have at least 10,000 points in bonuses.
It is said that the first place also has a reward for customizing a personal mech in advance.
Owning one's own mecha, especially a special mecha controlled by consciousness, is a very luxurious thing. In fact, all mechas in this world are based on the core technology of biological mechas, which can be connected to Human consciousness is a very high-end technology.
So a mecha is at least worth hundreds of thousands of utility points, which is the lowest price for a popular model.
The most important thing is that the first place will also get the mecha control certificate issued by the random body. This thing is the same as the gun certificate in other worlds. It is the proof of legally owning its own mecha, which is equivalent to the certificate of the mecha master.
Garen's headache was that his current consciousness was too weak. Without Crescent Moon, it was difficult for him to even move, and Crescent Moon obviously couldn't support a long-term battle.
"We can only make a quick decision." He made a decision in his heart.
"Now is the representative of class C5 entering the arena. One of the top five most promising students in grade C, Fei Bailie, is the head of this class." It was their class's turn to appear, and Fei Baili took the lead. Garen and Sara followed Behind them, the three of them walked onto the black carpet in special red slim-fit competition uniforms, and walked towards the arched gate of the arena. The students in the classes on both sides shouted loudly, and some people kept whistling.
