With the help of Gu Shaoqing and Fang Shiyan, Chu Yu quickly decided on the wedding plan.

On this day, Chu Yu and the others ushered in the first actual combat class of the mecha operation class.
The moment the teacher appeared, everyone's eyes lit up, and Chu Yu was no exception.

“No way, the Admiral will teach in person?” Fang Shiyan said quite exaggeratedly.

Gu Shaoqing glanced at Chu Yu meaningfully: “Maybe it’s a show of affection?”

Chu Yu’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn't move his eyes from the admiral.

Fang Shiyan sighed helplessly: “I now know what it means to love those who have fallen for others, I can only pretend to be that person.”

Gu Shaoqing smiled slightly: “Yes.”

Fang Shiyan felt Gu Shaoqing's scorching gaze, and looked away strangely, too embarrassed to answer.

“Hello everyone.” Shen Jingheng stood in front of the group, his eyes swept across the area, and then said, “Today, the instructor specially invited me to give you a practical lesson on mecha operation.”

Needless to say, the reserve soldiers standing in the group immediately got excited.

A class taught by the Admiral himself! How rare this is, it may not be possible to have such an opportunity in this life.

“I believe that you have already learned about the structure of mechas and the operation of mechas in the culture class.
Today, I will lead everyone to receive your respective mecha.” Shen Jingheng said while introducing, “In the future, the mecha you choose is your friend who fights together with you.
This is not only your choice, but also the mecha’s adaptive judgment on you…
I hope you can all find a matching mecha.”

At this time, Fang Shiyan immediately coaxed: “Admiral, Admiral! Can I ask which model your super cool mecha is? I want to choose the same model as you!”

Shen Jingheng looked at him silently, and said lightly, “Have you made a report?”

Fang Shiyan roared loudly, “Reporting—!”

“My mecha's name is Bai Zhou.
What you saw earlier was only its armored mode, not the complete body.”

After finishing speaking, Shen Jingheng pressed a button, and his body was instantly wrapped in a protective cover, and the protective cover transformed into a huge mecha, which was the height of ten people.
This time, everyone finally saw clearly that Shen Jingheng's protective cover was the operating compartment of this full version of the mecha.

Shen Jingheng opened the hatch and jumped down from the chest of the mecha, jumping steadily to the ground.
A pair of huge photon wings grew behind the white mecha, spewing blue charged particles.

Everyone saw that the joint of the mecha, which belongs to the mouth, moved up and down, and asked in a low mechanical voice: “You called me out when you meet these enemies? When did you become so weak?”

“This is Bai Zhou.” Shen Jingheng ignored Bai Zhou and continued to introduce, “Having the latest system and the most stable processor, it's a bit difficult to get along with.”

“Huh?” Bai Zhou's head looked at Shen Jingheng, “I am the most advanced mecha in the entire galaxy, how can I have a bad personality?”

There was a huge contrast between the dull mechanical sound of Bai Zhou and the more realistic character at the moment.
Chu Yu seemed to see the picture of the admiral competing with himself, and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Jingheng still ignored Bai Zhou and continued to introduce: “The mecha you choose will also have its own unique character.
Remember, the mecha is our most loyal comrade-in-arms.
The longer you get along, the more compatible you will be.
If compatibility is high, it will not be too difficult for you to control the mecha.”

Chu Yu recalled the smooth control of Shen Jingheng when he was wearing armor mode, and yearned for it.

In fact, the place Shen Jingheng wants to lead these students to is a military center, that is, the Mecha Research Center.
This class is just for the purpose of security, in case there will be any emergencies.

“Come with me.”

Shen Jingheng led the way into several research centers.
Bai Zhou followed behind Shen Jingheng with his chest on one side, and said to Shen Jingheng, “Have you started training soldiers again? It seems that there are not many soldiers who can fight in this group.”

“It's a bit difficult for them to use your standards.” Shen Jingheng first replied to him, and then added, “But you're right, their classes are too soft.”

The two of them chatted completely in front of everyone.
When they heard the word “soft”, the entire group couldn't help but gasp.

Soft?

The daily morning run is climbing down the mountain within an hour, every day to simulate the weightless adaptation when operating a battleship, and even more practice to let their feet stand on a small pillar for three hours standing alone – supposedly to practice concentration.

The devil's training that was arranged to the fullest every day actually became soft in the mouth of the admiral?

They're going to vomit blood.

There were many people in the team who swallowed hard, and said with an ugly expression: “I have a hunch that it will not be so interesting when we choose mecha…”

After 20 minutes, they stood neatly in front of a huge spherical building.

This spherical building is only exposed about three meters above the ground, but it is not difficult to imagine how large the entire building is.

Shen Jingheng lightly touched an invisible film with his hand, then a blue ripple visible to the naked eye suddenly spread out from his hand, and then the door of the sphere opened upwards.

“Each of you must enter your personal information here.
Later, you will enter the mecha library in turn.
If you match a suitable mecha, and pass by in front of the mecha, the mecha will react to you…”

The process was very simple, Chu Yu watched Bai Zhou's interaction with the admiral, and began to look forward to what his mecha would look like.

The admiral was standing at the entrance, waiting for the students to line up to enter.
Chu Yu blinked at Shen Jingheng when he passed by him, Shen Jingheng paused for a second, quickly looked away, then returned to Chu Yu and smiled slightly.

It was only for a split second that the two of them were exchanging glances with each other, and soon, Chu Yu was shocked by the scene inside.

They were like walking into the universe, stepping on the starry sky under their feet and hanging in the sky – if he hadn't really felt that he was stepping on the ground, he probably really thought he was flying in the sky at this moment.

The progress of the group became very slow, and the transparent floor gave the illusion that if you took a step forward, you would fall into the boundless abyss.

Shen Jingheng knows this design very well, and this is also the first level to get his mecha – the illusion labyrinth.

They have to go through countless hallucinations and find the entrance to their mecha under the deception of their brains and eyes.
Many students lost their way here, were finally rejected by their favorite mecha, and failed to pair with a high-quality mecha.

The key to this labyrinth of illusions is to keep the eyes awake without being deceived by the brain.

The group has begun to disperse.

Fang Shiyan, Gu Shaoqing, and Chu Yu were still walking together.
It was Gu Shaoqing who first noticed something was wrong: “Do you feel that there are fewer people around?”

Because Chu Yu moved forward with all his mind, he didn't pay attention to what was happening around him.
After being reminded, he also noticed: “It seems to be less.”

“Speaking of which, it's so big inside, it feels like there's infinite space.” Fang Shiyan stretched out his hand and touched the surroundings, “I don't know where the mirror is at all.”

“It can't be a mirror, the mirror will reflect our image,” Gu Shaoqing thought calmly for a moment, “I wonder if you have heard of the Mobius ring?”

Chu Yu nodded: “Twist a piece of paper with tape and fit the ends together to form a Mobius ring.”

“Yes, the normal paper surface is two-sided, and the Mobius ring has only one curved surface…
In short, if we walk on the Mobius ring at this moment, we will never reach the end.” Gu Shaoqing said lightly.

Fang Shiyan was even more straightforward: “In short, it’s just a circle?”

Gu Shaoqing nodded: “Yes, the admiral has arranged a maze for us.” Gu Shaoqing pointed to the three stairs in the space, “Look, from this side, all the stairs go up.
Yes, there are no stairs to climb down at all, but they form a circle.”

“Penrose Stairs.” Fang Shiyan added, “This is a trick to deceive the eyes.”

“That is to say, what we should be looking for now is the boundary.
Only by touching the boundary can we find the secret door to get out of here.” Chu Yu understood in an instant, and looked around again.
.

Gu Shaoqing smiled strangely: “It's actually very simple…”

The two looked at Gu Shaoqing together.

“Since the road on the ground has no end, that means we should go underground.”

“Underground?” Chu Yu suddenly became enlightened, “Could it be…”

Gu Shaoqing nodded and took out three blindfolds from the space storage: “Put this on, don't be affected by vision, use hearing and feeling to find the secret door on the ground.”

Afterward, Gu Shaoqing took out two more strings, one tied himself and Fang Shiyan's hands together, and the other tied himself and Chu Yu's hands together.

“In order to prevent us from thinking we are stepping on the air, this will be safer.” Gu Shaoqing explained.

Afterward, Chu Yu put on the blindfold, the world became pitch black, and he didn't even know where forward was.

The steps he took were extremely hesitant, but fortunately, the feeling of being pulled by the string in his hand gave him a full sense of security.

Only then did he feel relieved to feel the sensation of stepping on the ground.

Chu Yu walked slowly forward step by step, and suddenly, he felt that his feet seemed to have a different touch than just now.

If you don't feel it carefully, it will be easily overlooked – Gu Shaoqing guessed right, there is a secret door on the ground!

Chu Yu paused: “Wait, I stepped on it, this seems to be the secret door you said!”

Afterward, Gu Shaoqing took off his blindfold, looked at the ground under Chu Yu's feet, and knelt down and tapped the ground with his hands.
Then, a small black space that could only accommodate one person appeared in front of him.

Gu Shaoqing looked at the space, then looked at Chu Yu and said, “It seems that you can only go down one at a time.
You go down first, while Shiyan and I will continue to look.”

Chu Yu nodded: “Then I'll take a step first.”

Chu Yu jumped down from this entrance without hesitation.

At this moment, only Gu Shaoqing and Fang Shiyan were left.

Fang Shiyan glanced at Gu Shaoqing, and then at the string tied to Gu Shaoqing in his hand, the atmosphere suddenly became weird again.

“…Let's go?” Fang Shiyan said awkwardly.

Gu Shaoqing chuckled: “It seems that you are fated to be tied to me.”
