Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 65 When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fortune arrives, all things move in harmony. Fortune arrives!

"Xiao Feng's back! Bring out some food!"

"Xiao Feng, slow down your fancy moves! Be careful not to get indigestion, have some soup! This soup is very nourishing!"

"Eat slowly, Xiao Feng!"

In the candidates' rest room, a mountain of food was piled up on ten tables, all of which Zhang Beihai had requested be prepared.

There was no other reason than that when Zhang Beihai saw the student bleeding for forty hours without paying, he could already imagine how weak Qin Feng was!

Therefore, the food Zhang Beihai prepared was almost entirely easy to absorb and digest.

All that could be seen was Qin Feng using both hands, whirling around in a flurry of activity, and in the blink of an eye, he had already devoured five tables piled high with food.

The long-skirted maids beside him stared in disbelief at the scene before them. Although they had long known that this person was no ordinary human, such a rapid and insane display of food was truly astounding.

Looking at the student's pale face gradually regaining its color, Zhang Beihai was filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, he was just an inconspicuous student in a small county. I taught him for so long, and apart from thinking that his martial arts skills were not bad, he was just average in other aspects. But starting from the national exam, he passed through five levels and defeated experts as easily as killing chickens. It was as if the word "kill anyone who gets in his way" was written all over his face.

In particular, today's live-streamed mecha-making session shocked Zhang Beihai for three days and three nights.

For three days and three nights, Zhang Beihai didn't miss a single scene, watching his student go from casting to engraving to core drawing, achieving perfect harmony between man and machine!

Zhang Beihai felt that the young man in front of him had become both strange and familiar.

"Teacher, eat!" Qin Feng looked at Zhang Beihai. "The way you're staring at me like that is really creepy!"

Zhang Beihai retorted angrily, "What pervert! I'm just expressing my feelings, do you even understand?"

Qin Feng slowed down his boasting, laughing as he said, "I understand, I understand, of course I understand! I'm the top liberal arts student!"

Zhang Beihai asked curiously, "By the way, where's your mecha?"

Qin Feng felt around in his pocket, then tossed out a pendant, "Here!"

Zhang Beihai took the pendant. It was a very ordinary necklace strung together with a rope. Hanging from it was a small doll dressed in a leather armor and fur robe, holding a long spear. The doll's features were exactly the same as Qin Feng's, only much smaller, and its neat black short hair had turned into silver-white long hair.

Zhang Beihai looked at the tiny doll with curiosity, thinking of the Wude ship on TV. "Xiao Feng, I still find it hard to accept. How did such a small thing turn into a ten-zhang-tall mecha?"

Qin Feng, munching on a large cake, kept saying, "There's a lot of technology involved in this. For example, the spatial folding and unfolding techniques alone could take three days and three nights to explain, and even you, teacher, might not understand! Then there's the spatial anchoring technology, which keeps space fixed and doesn't wander off, and so on! It's hard for me to explain to you in a short time. In short, just think of this as a car key!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beihai immediately became interested. "According to what you said, Xiao Feng, does that mean you can transform at any time just by holding this car key?"

"Of course!" Qin Feng said, "What's the point of it if it can't transform! Besides, my mecha is different from ordinary mechas! For example, it has a lot of miscellaneous functions like stand-in users, automatic defense, and automatic early warning! My architecture is completely different from other mecha architectures, so I can upgrade even more functions later!"

Zhang Beihai listened with increasing interest and hurriedly said, "Since you can build mechs, Xiao Feng, your technological repair skills must be quite high! Teacher, I have a request, but I don't know if I should say it."

Qin Feng asked, "You want a mecha too?"

Zhang Beihai shook his head. "What do I need a mecha for? The maintenance costs for those things are ridiculously high; most people can't afford to keep them. I mean, if you can manufacture mechas, repairing spaceships must be a piece of cake, right? If you have time, how about you repair one of my spaceships?"

Qin Feng remembered his teacher's "Natural Selection" aircraft and readily agreed, "No problem, I've got it covered!"

Zhang Beihai beamed, opened a bottle of beer, and said, "Come on, have a drink!"

Just as the two raised their glasses, a maidservant cautiously approached and said, "Young Master Qin Feng, Mr. Zhang, there is an urgent document from the Martial Arts Alliance here. Please take a look!"

Zhang Beihai took it, examined it carefully, and then frowned.

While eating, Qin Feng asked, "What's going on, teacher? What does it say?"

Zhang Beikaido, "The Martial Arts Alliance and the Science Society express their heartfelt congratulations and appreciation for your achievements, Xiaofeng. The Science Society's president, Mr. Gongshu Ban, has even categorized your mecha into a new style! It's called the third style besides the Classical and Modern styles—the Ancient God Style!"

Qin Feng wiped his mouth. "Let me see! This is interesting!"

Qin Feng took the urgent message and read through it one by one. He had to admit that the Great Qin Martial Arts Alliance and the Science Association used the most flowery language to express their praise for him, even using exaggerated adjectives such as "founding ancestor" and "grandmaster of a school." This made Qin Feng feel that they might be making a mountain out of a molehill.

On the second page, Qin Feng discovered some clues. Gongshu Ban clearly wrote in the document that when Ou Yezi forged the eight famous swords of the Spring and Autumn Period, he had the best chance of becoming the world's number one armorer and could have forged the world's number one mecha!

However, Ou Yezi did not do that. When asked why he did not forge mecha, Ou Yezi said that he was content with just having enough to eat and wanted to leave food for all the swordsmiths in the world. He could not forge both swords and armor, as that would be tantamount to taking away the livelihood of all the swordsmiths in the world and letting them starve to death.

People all over the world admire Ou Yezi's magnanimity, and swordsmiths all over the world are grateful for his boundless generosity.

However, some ignorant people believe that Ou Yezi simply cannot forge mechs, which is why he makes such pretentious remarks. Now that you have appeared, these petty people have been proven wrong, and I, Gongshu Ban, am very pleased.

At the same time, Gongshuban said that this was just a simple letter of celebration, and that he and he had some specific things to discuss, such as joining the scientific society.

Of course, Gongshu Ban and he would have to wait until after the martial arts examination, after drinking with Wang, to discuss this further.

In the final segment, Gongshu Ban, representing the Science Association, offered his sincere blessings and stated that if anyone encountered trouble in Xianyang, they could request protection from any research institution, and all members of the Science Association would lend a helping hand.

Holding the letter, Qin Feng was filled with gratitude towards Ou Yezi. It was Ou Yezi who had given all the swordsmiths in the world a chance to make a living, and it was also Ou Yezi who had given him a chance to make a living!

Yet, this great swordsmith lost his daughter and son, and died far from home in his later years. What kind of logic is this world!

Having inherited Ou Yezi's legacy, I must avenge him. All those who were involved in Ou Yezi's death must be wiped out one by one!

Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy whenever I use this [Divine Forging Diagram] technique in the future!

As for Shao Siming saying that her hands are stained with blood, hehe, even if they are, what can you do to me, Shao Siming?

Even if I give you a marriage certificate, you still can't marry Xi Shi's daughter. That way, you won't be able to kill me! You can only watch as my hands are stained with blood, and blood flows like a river!

Zhang Beikaido: "Xiao Feng, there's another form on the back!"

"oh!"

Qin Feng opened the last form.

After just one glance, Qin Feng immediately lay down on the sofa, clutching his chest, his face flushed, seemingly overwhelmed with emotion. 🎉✌ 69990000.0 ...

Zhang Beihai hurriedly said, "Xiao Feng, are you choking? Drink some water!"

"No!" Qin Feng said, "I'm just angry!"

Zhang Beihai looked at the form. "What's written on this that's making you so angry?"

Qin Feng spat out a few words through gritted teeth, "Debt! Forget it, I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I'm going to sleep!"

The form was placed on the table, and Qin Feng got up and went into the bedroom.

Zhang Beihai stared at the closed bedroom door, somewhat at a loss. He picked up the form and saw a line of text at the top: "Notice of Punishment for Candidate Qin Feng for Destroying the Examination Venue and Part of the National Treasury Facilities in the Qin State Examination Finals."

Zhang Beihai glanced over hundreds of compensation options.

"This time, you are required to compensate for all costs of the 32 venues for the Qin State Examination finals, totaling 157.521 billion credit coins. Considering the excellent spirit of breach of contract among the strategists and the fact that the disciples of Guigu have a history of always borrowing money wherever they go, the Qin Five Cities Garrison and the Qin Court jointly notify you that until you have completed the repayment, you are restricted from leaving Xianyang!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beihai slapped his forehead with his right hand. "My God! 157 billion! Xiao Feng's burning down of the examination hall has created a huge hole! If it were me, I could never pay it back in ten lifetimes!"

"However, Xiao Feng is an armorer, which is said to be a very lucrative profession, so there is still hope for him to pay back the money in the future."

"157 billion? Isn't that a bit too much?"

Zhang Beihai sighed for a moment, then quickly consoled himself, "If I owe 100,000, I'm the merchant's grandson; if I owe 1 billion, the merchant is still my grandson! If Xiao Feng owes 10 billion in one go, wouldn't he be the merchant's ancestor?"

Unbeknownst to Zhang Beihai, inside the house at that moment, Qin Feng clenched his fists, cursing inwardly.

"Ying Zheng! That's going too far!"

"I just blew up a few of your exam rooms, and you swindled me out of 157 billion yuan!"

"Isn't this just your way of telling me to work for you for the rest of my life?"

"A king, how could you do such a thing? Aren't you ashamed?"

However, Qin Feng had no idea that this was not Ying Zheng's doing at all, but Fusu's. If it were Ying Zheng who made the move, then at least five zeros would have been added after 157!

After agonizing for a while, Qin Feng picked up his doll pendant with his right hand. The pendant floated in front of him, dazzlingly bright!

Compared to Qin Feng's previous design for the Wude, this time during the forging process, Qin Feng made a real breakthrough in one aspect, namely the shaping of the machine soul.

Initially, Qin Feng's machine soul forging wasn't a physical entity like this; it was no different from ordinary machine souls, both being ethereal.

However, during the forging process, Qin Feng felt the mecha's heart calling to him. It longed for him to give it life, even if it was just a puppet body. It longed to come to this world!

At this moment, Qin Feng changed his mind and forged the Machine Soul from a void body into a real spiritual body, just like a substitute in an ancient immortal's magical artifact!

After it was born, Qin Feng felt a distinct difference. It was as if he had an extra body, a completely new body. This body had no emotions, only logic and a cold, optimal algorithm!

On the one hand, it can help me with some killing and killing; on the other hand, it can be repaired when it breaks, and it has no feelings!

Its other main function is its supply capability. It can obtain energy by eating minerals without eating human food. If there is space warfare in the future, this will definitely be the main combat clone. It will not have to worry about food shortages and its energy is unlimited.

With a chirp, the golden-scaled egg crawled to Qin Feng's hand and rubbed its scales against his arm affectionately.

Qin Feng tied the mecha pendant to the golden-scaled egg, then lay down and fell fast asleep.

Today was truly exhausting; Qin Feng didn't even want to go to the imaginary space to spar with [One Saint].

Moreover, Qin Feng didn't think he could defeat the [One Saint] phantom in his exhausted state.

[Yi Sheng] is very strong. Even after fifty days and nights of sparring, Qin Feng's win rate is still less than 30%!

[One Saint] possesses a peculiar state called the Great Harmony of Heaven and Earth. Once he enters that state, he becomes incredibly domineering, practically killing anyone who stands in his way, and his qi and blood can even approach three thousand points! This was a situation Qin Feng had never encountered before. Faced with absolute power, Qin Feng didn't even have time to react before being reduced to dust by [One Saint]!

Qin Feng slept soundly, unaware that some people simply cannot sleep.

In a palace in the heart of Xianyang, a young master sat on a high platform, his eyes dark-rimmed, utterly exhausted.

Fusu asked weakly, "Someone, has the letter been delivered to Qin Feng?"

A guard below said respectfully, "Reporting to Young Master, we have sent your bill along with Mr. Gongshu Ban's congratulatory letter to Qin Feng. They should have seen it by now."

Fusu stared at the palace ceiling and murmured, "Do you think I'm asking for too much money?"

The guard said, "How could that be too many! Almost all of our thirty-two examination halls were burned down by the fire, with total losses exceeding 30 billion! Asking for 157 is already a 50% reduction!"

"And if we take into account the resources he squandered from our Qin Dynasty's national treasury over ten years, then no matter how many zeros we add after that, it's all for his benefit!"

"His warship, the Wude, was built with ten years' worth of GDP from the people of Qin! It wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to sell it to our Great Qin for the rest of his life!"

Fusu said, "Don't say those things again!"

The trusted guard hurriedly replied, "Yes!"

Fusu then asked, "The science scores weren't released, were they?"

The trusted guard said, "Not yet, but some tutors have seen the preliminary results sheets."

Fusu rubbed his temples. "Right now, only a few people know about Lü Qingshu's affair. If it spreads, our Great Qin will be utterly disgraced! A national examination, a prestigious exam, has been infiltrated by a spy from one of the six states, and the exam questions were even leaked in advance! If this gets out, what will become of Great Qin's prestige? I was ordered by my father to oversee the Chaliko national examination, yet such a huge mess has occurred. How can I face my father in person!"

The trusted guard said, "Young Master, do not worry. Lü Qingshu is, after all, a remnant of Lü Buwei. The trouble caused by Lü Buwei existed during the King's era, but no one expected him to be so well hidden. The King will not blame you too much! Moreover, this time you have unearthed a truly great talent, the strategist 'Half a Move Ahead of Heaven.' As long as you focus on 'Half a Move Ahead of Heaven' and repeat Gongshu's evaluation of him to the King, I think the King will not blame you. After all, without your adherence to the unchangeable ancestral rules, Qin Feng might have had its materials confiscated halfway through the forging process, and there would be no third school of mecha in our Great Qin today!"

Fusu pondered for a moment, then stood up and paced back and forth, saying, "That makes sense! Although this science exam revealed a major blunder involving spies from six states, it also produced some great talents. Qin Feng saved me once! Hmm! Go and edit together the evaluations of Qin Feng by Lord Gongshu and the other scholars. Then I need to go to the palace now. Before exposing Lü Qingshu's criminal record at the Court of Justice, I must first repent. Otherwise, I might be in deep trouble with my father!"

"Yes!" The trusted guard hurriedly walked down from the palace!

Fusu hesitated for a moment, still feeling uneasy, and said, "Someone, prepare the carriage. I need to see my father tonight! This matter cannot be delayed until tomorrow morning court; I must report to my father now!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

That night, the Court of Justice and the Military Command of the Five Cities were busy with preparations. A remnant of Lü Buwei's faction named Lü Qingshu and his entire clan were arrested, imprisoned, and awaiting their fate.

The following day, the science exams had just finished, and the streets and alleys were bustling with activity. ✌🎁 ❻9Ŝ卄𝓾᙭.cØм 👍💲

"【Headline】Mr. Gongshu Ban, President of the Great Qin Science Association, personally visited the command center of the science exam and observed the entire process. He also gave important instructions to Qin Feng, the top performer in the exam, who is known as 'Half a Son Who Surpasses Heaven.' Qin Feng has created a third school of mecha, in addition to classical and assembly-line mecha. This school uses the sun and moon as its framework, the soul as its core, and destruction as its firepower. It is called the Ancient God School! It is modeled after the peak mechas such as Nezha, Huang Feihu, and Lei Zhenzi from the Zhou Dynasty! The Great Qin Science Association has nominated Qin Feng as the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for Scientific Achievements in the Last Seven Kingdoms! The final decision on this nomination will be made after the Seven Kingdoms Science Conference."

"[Explosive] At the science exam site, candidate Qin Feng emptied the Qin Dynasty's treasury in blood. With decades of Qin's national funds, he finally forged a suit of armor. It's unbelievable that this person is actually a descendant of Ou Yezi, and the murderer with blood on his hands who slaughtered the world, as described by Shao Siming!"

"[Breaking News] The official science exam results haven't been released yet, but according to sources, the first place scorer is 98 [Yi Sheng], the second place scorer is 95, and the third place... unfortunately, [Sheng Tian Ban Zi] only got 70 points in the experimental section. He submitted a blank paper and ranked below 10,000th in the science category. What a tragedy! The first true science master to create a hand-built mecha, hailed as the founder of the third mecha school, has achieved such a disgrace to science!"

"[Breaking] News: Due to the explosion at the National Civil Service Examination venue yesterday caused by Qin Feng, the martial arts exam has been postponed for one day. The Five Cities Garrison of Xianyang has organized manpower for emergency repairs. The National Martial Arts Exam will resume one day later to ensure the smooth running of the Great Qin competition..."

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Compared to the entire process of Qin Feng forging the mecha in three days and three nights and creating a new school of thought, people seem to prefer talking about Qin Feng's failures.

After all, it's so easy to find the strengths of a genius like Qin Feng, but it's very difficult to find his weaknesses. Qin Feng's score, which is hard to come by this time, has fallen into the eyes of some jealous and twisted guys. This is a target they can attack and fire at Qin Feng!

Meanwhile, truly pragmatic and intelligent people have already begun extending olive branches to Qin Feng.

"Brother Yi, do you think it would be a bit abrupt for us to go like this?"

"What's so abrupt? We're classmates, we went to the same school together. Isn't it normal for classmates to meet up?"

"No, I mean, we're all top-ranked fighters, and we haven't even taken the martial arts exam yet. Wouldn't going there be a provocation?"

"What are you thinking? We both brought gifts. You brought a case of wine, and I brought two cartons of cigarettes. Is this a provocation? This is a visit! It's about social etiquette, don't you understand?"

Inside a speeding car, two teenagers were preparing to get off.

The driver was none other than Meng Yi, the military strategist and "God of War," one of the two gods, while the passenger was a spirited young man with long red hair, clearly the "God of Wilderness" of the Legalist school.

Looking at his stubborn brother, Meng Yi added with concern, "Huang, I didn't originally want to bring you this time. I was afraid you'd ruin everything. But considering we're both in the same boat and not very bright, I brought you along! So once you're inside, watch my eyes and act accordingly. Don't be like you are at home, cursing and swearing! Don't be so haphazard! I'm telling you this upfront: these strategists are all paranoid. If you say even a few words that are off-limits, Qin Feng will immediately turn on you and kick us out!"

[Wild God] patted his chest and said, "Brother Yi, don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you! This Qin Feng has already created a new type of mecha, and we don't have any mechas, so we have to go find him, right?"

Meng Yi said, "Don't talk about being my underling! You have to think about it. Aside from the two of us and that drunkard, the other top-ranked people on our Astounding Ranking have all thoroughly offended Qin Feng! It's highly unlikely they'll get Qin Feng's Ancient God Sect mecha! The only ones who can get it are you, me, and that drunkard, the Drunken Sword Immortal! That drunkard's probably still soaking in some wine barrel right now; he can't come! And this is the Xuan-level examination hall. Nobles and reporters, people unrelated to the exam, aren't allowed in. Only the two of us can enter the Celebrity examination hall. Then, we'll hug Qin Feng and call him 'Big Brother,' even saying we'll be his henchmen!"

[Aragami] scratched his head, "A henchman? How do I become one?"

Meng Yi put his arm around [Wilderness God]'s shoulder. "Think about it," he said, "the martial arts exam starts tomorrow, right? When the time comes, let's team up and cripple all the other contestants below us! The Three Immortals, Four Paths, Five Absolutes, Seven Heroes! Crush them all! Wouldn't that be a huge help to Qin Feng? He wouldn't have to waste his energy dealing with that trash; he could just focus on dealing with [One Saint]!"

[Aragami] slapped his thigh, "Big brother, you're really smart! How come I didn't think of that!"

Meng Yi smugly shook his head and said, "Don't you know who I am? I'm a military strategist! Military strategists are all about strategy! These idiots on the Amazing Ranking are all frantically trying to score high in both arts and sciences, and what did they do? They've completely offended Qin Feng! Especially that troublemaker Gongsun Shengxie, he almost made Qin Feng's blood pressure soar. Look at us brothers, we're playing the game of 'a man's virtue lies in his lack of talent.' We're terrible at arts, so we didn't threaten Qin Feng, and we didn't even participate in or provoke him in sciences. That's why we have a chance to build a good relationship with Qin Feng now, instead of those idiots who are all trying to challenge Qin Feng one-on-one, and what did they do? They've completely offended him! So, just listen to me, go for it when you should, and stay put when you shouldn't. You'll definitely get what's coming to you."

[Wild God] pointed to a figure outside the car window and hesitated, "Brother, that crooked, drunken figure looks like that good-for-nothing, the Drunken Sword Immortal!"

Upon seeing this, Meng Yi hurriedly said, "What do you mean 'similar'? That's it! Hurry up! Follow us! That bastard Sword Immortal of Wine actually arrived before us!"

Meng Yi and [Wilderness God] hurriedly followed. Before the Drunken Sword Immortal could react, the two burly youths grabbed the drunkard on each side.

The Drunken Sword Immortal looked at the two burly youths with fear. "What do you two want? Let me tell you, this is a restricted area. There are surveillance cameras here. If you two dare to hit me, you'll be sorry!"

It's obvious that this isn't the first time the Sword Immortal has been thoroughly humiliated by Meng Yi.

The two burly youths worked in perfect unison, suddenly exerting their strength, and the Drunken Sword Immortal was thrown out, landing squarely in a nearby trash can.

The two gods laughed heartily and strode away.

Inside the trash can, the Drunken Sword Immortal muttered curses, "Are you bullying me?!"

"This is outrageous!"

"One's a simpleton, the other's a bit dim-witted!"

"We're all visiting classmates, why can't I go? You two think you're so superior!"

"Damn it, blame that idiot swordsman for not showing up, otherwise I wouldn't have been bullied by those two!"

Just then, a cough came from the direction of the direction they were facing.

But then he saw a young swordsman in black robes and a bamboo hat, calmly looking at the Drunken Sword Immortal, "You're talking about me behind my back again!"

Just as the Drunken Sword Immortal was about to get up and speak, the Swordsman kicked him down, intending to sober him up.

"Don't kick! Wait!" The Drunken Sword Immortal pulled out a stack of membership cards. "Celebrity Hall, Gold Diamond Hibiscus VIP Card, pick one!"

The young swordsman withdrew his foot, pulled out a membership card, and said, "With all this preparation, how many people are you planning to invite?"

The Drunken Sword Immortal said awkwardly, "To me, this stuff is like toilet paper. It's normal to grab dozens at a time. You know I like to drink, and when I drink, there have to be beautiful women, otherwise it's no fun! And the 'flower wine' is the best. After going there so many times, I've become the top spender there! People give me so many of these cards!"

The swordsman glanced at the Xuan-character examination hall gymnasium not far away, "The two gods have arrived?"

"That's right!" The Drunken Sword Immortal climbed out of the trash can, brushing the dust off his clothes. "Two brutes threw me into the trash can, it made me so angry! If I wasn't worried about not being able to beat them, I would have thrown them both into the trash can myself."

The swordsman comforted him, "Alright, that's enough. Meng Yi beats you up about once every two weeks, don't you ever learn? Can't you just avoid him?"

The Drunken Sword Immortal gestured dramatically, "It's not that I didn't want to go around him, it's just that I got in front of him, and those two bastards saw me and stuffed me into the trash can!"

The swordsman walked ahead, asking, "What are you doing here?"

"What else can we do!" said the Drunken Sword Immortal. "My old man's classical-style mecha is limited by his previous level and can't keep up with his current level! That old buddy mecha has been gathering dust in the warehouse for decades. Yesterday, my old man saw Qin Feng's new mecha style, and he felt that his old buddy could be saved. He asked me to come here immediately and ask Qin Feng to check on my old man's old buddy. It would be best if he could upgrade its configuration, raising it from a lower-grade Earth rank to an upper-grade Earth rank, or even a Heaven rank. As long as it can reach a level that matches my old man's current strength, my old man said he'd pay any price!"

The swordsman asked curiously, "Don't you want Qin Feng to build you a mecha?"

The Sword Immortal shook his head. "I have no interest in mechs or getting stronger. I just like drinking. And you? Did you come here asking for a mech?"

The swordsman said, "Do you believe me if I said I came here specifically to fish you out of the trash can?"

The Sword Immortal laughed, "Although I like to drink, I'm not like those two idiots, the Two Gods! They practiced martial arts until they lost their brains, but I'm different. Drinking doesn't hurt my brain! You're lying to me, aren't you? You want a mecha too!"

"Boring!" the swordsman said. "I just have some things left behind by the former leader of the Mohist school. I've had them for a long time but I still can't understand them. Maybe Qin Feng can understand them. Let him enlighten me!"

"I see!" said the Drunken Sword Immortal. "Then let's go together!"

The Drunken Sword Immortal and the Swordsman headed towards the Xuan-character examination hall.

At this moment, in the candidates' rest room of the Xuan-character examination hall, Qin Feng was showing off his meal.

Today was supposed to be the martial arts exam, but because I blew up the exam room, there's no way to do it right now. I'll spend the whole day doing dictation and repairing the exam room.

Qin Feng was also able to take a break, and after resting, he returned to the dream world to continue his duel with [One Saint].

Just then, a sound came from the elevator of the star examinee, and two figures walked over excitedly.

The young man on the left has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, long arms and a strong waist, and a heroic air about him!

The boy on the right has fiery red, non-mainstream hair and is wearing a jacket despite it being winter, revealing his bulging biceps.

As soon as the two entered, Qin Feng recognized them: the God of War and the God of Desolation!

As he watched the two men approach him enthusiastically, Qin Feng wondered to himself, "These two are top experts on the Astounding Ranking, yet I have no connection with them. Why are they suddenly coming to find me?"

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Qin Feng also greeted him warmly.

"Brother Qin Feng, I've long admired your name!"

"Gentlemen, it's an honor to meet you! Please have a seat!"

The two sat down opposite Qin Feng. The [Desolate God], slightly embarrassed, took out two bottles of clay-bottled wine from his robes. "This is a specialty of our hometown, Desolate Volcano, called Cornelian Cherry Wine. These two bottles are just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept them, Brother Qin!"

Qin Feng repeatedly said, "You're too kind! I've long admired your names and wanted to pay you a visit, but I didn't expect you to come to me first. And you even brought gifts! You're too generous!"

[God of War] pulled out two packs of cigarettes, winked, and said, "These are forbidden items from the imperial court. I had no choice but to get my hands on them! Try them later, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed. "Thank you so much, you two are too kind! If there's anything I can help with, just let me know. I'll definitely do my best to help!"

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, [Desolate God] was about to speak, but [War God] interrupted him, chuckling, "We don't need any help. We're just here to chat with Qin Feng, meet him, and catch up! Oh, I forgot to introduce ourselves! This [Desolate God] is a mixed-race individual from the Southern Barbarian, Eastern Yi, Northern Slave, and Western Rong tribes. You can call him Little Desolate. My name is Meng Yi! Let's all get to know each other! Come on, Little Desolate, call him Brother Feng!"

"Brother Feng!"

"That's too formal. We're all of the same generation; we should address each other as equals!"

"..."

It must be said that Meng Yi truly deserves to be called the future twin stars of the empire. He has a very good grasp of interpersonal relationships and social etiquette. After a few words, the two of them were drinking and chatting happily with Qin Feng, as familiar as family.

Qin Feng had no feelings for Xiao Huang, but he had a strong feeling for Meng Yi. This was the future twin star of the empire, a truly important figure. He had always admired Meng Yi and Meng Tian. Now that they had taken the initiative to come to him, he naturally wanted to make friends with them.

As the three chatted happily, Meng Yi laughed and said, "Brother Feng, don't worry. In tomorrow's martial arts exam, if anyone dares to bare their teeth at you, just watch us. If we don't knock their teeth out, we won't have the face to show our faces in Xianyang!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "Holy crap, are the two gods actually going to step down for me?"

This is a good thing. You know, Qin Feng is already struggling to fight against a [One Saint]. If the two gods join in, the outcome is hard to say. If the two gods are willing to help him or even take care of those opponents, it will be of great benefit to him!

Some might say, "Qin Feng, isn't this a lack of martial ethics?"

The problem is, I don't have the martial virtue you're talking about, so how can I talk about martial virtue? Unless you see my physical martial virtue and it opens your eyes!

Following the two gods' lead, Qin Feng continued to probe, "If you two can ensure my smooth progress in martial arts, I, Qin Feng, will definitely repay you!"

Meng Yi's comment was just a test, but he didn't expect Qin Feng to take it seriously.

This played right into Meng Yi's mind. In Meng Yi's opinion, what did a ranking matter compared to having a mecha?

The ultimate romance for men is mecha!

Moreover, with [Yi Sheng] blocking his way, Meng Yi didn't think he could get the first place in the secret of heaven and earth. Since that was the case, he might as well give Qin Feng face and get a mecha for himself, which would be a sure thing!

At this moment, Qin Feng had already made his stance clear. Meng Yi and Xiao Huang patted their chests in unison, "Leave it to us brothers! As long as Brother Qin needs us, just give the order, and we'll go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Seeing how hearty the two men were, Qin Feng also downed his drink and said, "Come on, let's drink! From now on, the three of us are brothers!"

Meng Yi and Xiao Huang clashed, and the three of them burst into laughter, enjoying themselves immensely.

Just then, the elevator made another sound. Qin Feng and the other two hurriedly turned around and saw a wandering swordsman wearing a bamboo hat and a drunken young man reeking of alcohol approaching them.

Meng Yi lowered his voice, "The swordsman and the drunkard! Two of the Three Immortals!"

Xiao Huang whispered, "The swordsman is a gambler with terrible sportsmanship! The drunkard loves to drink, but he actually loves whoring; he uses drinking as an excuse to find women!"

Qin Feng stood up and said, "Alright, you two, please start drinking!"

The swordsman and the drunkard were somewhat wary of the two gods, so they sat a distance away. Upon seeing Qin Feng arrive, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him with smiles, "Brother Qin, we've long admired your name!"

"Hello, Brother Qin, my name is Xiao Jiu, and his name is Xiao Hei!"

The drunkard enthusiastically pulled out a handful of membership cards from his pocket, saying warmly, "Since I'm new here, I don't have much to give Brother Qin, but this is a super membership card for the Jinghe Eight Beauties Nightclub! I'm the only one in Xianyang who has it! Take one, consider it a gift!"

Qin Feng was taken aback by the pile of cards. "Holy crap, are all the young men from Xianyang this dashing and debonair? Giving away a whole bunch of membership cards right off the bat?"

The swordsman, Xiao Hei, seemed unfazed, saying, "Brother Qin, take one. These things are only available from this drunkard; you really can't get them anywhere else! You can't get them even with money!"

Qin Feng drew a card and said awkwardly, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, haha! I wonder what brings you two here? I, Qin Feng, will never refuse to help in any way I can!"

The two men were quite impressed by Qin Feng's loyalty.

The drunkard rubbed his hands and said, "It's like this, Brother Qin! My grandfather has an old-fashioned mecha. It was his first mecha. He was quite young when he built it, so its potential was a bit limited. Now, my grandfather's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but the mecha's upgrade limit is also limited and can't keep up with his progress. It's been sitting in the warehouse for many years. Since I heard you have a remarkable forging technique that can turn the rotten into the miraculous, my grandfather asked me to come here and ask if you could help him take a look at his old partner and see if it can be repaired and upgraded. As long as it can keep up with his level, you can name your price!"

Qin Feng owed more than 10 billion yuan and was so desperate for money that he had nightmares. Now that someone was offering him money, Qin Feng naturally wouldn't refuse.

But Qin Feng also understood that business is all about raising prices; you can't be too proactive, or you'll lose value.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I understand Brother Jiugui's request, but as you saw, I bled for forty hours, and I almost lost half my life. I probably won't recover for the next six months. Once I've recovered, I'll definitely go and check your grandfather's pulse!"

The drunkard beamed with delight, "Alright! It's settled then. Now I'll have a way to explain myself to my grandfather! Haha! Cheers!"

Qin Feng laughed, "Come on!"

Having dealt with the drunkard, Qin Feng turned to the swordsman Xiao Hei, "Brother Dao, is there anything I can do to help?"

Xiao Hei thought for a moment, then took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Qin Feng. "This contains some things left behind by Mo Di, the first leader of the Mohist school. It has been passed down to my generation, and I have been looking at it for many years, but I can't understand it at all! But I guess that this thing may be related to the ancient divine mecha from the Zhou Dynasty! It just so happens that you have forged the Ancient God Mecha, which is comparable to the divine mecha. You should be able to understand it! If you understand it, please share the contents with me, and I will be extremely grateful."

The moment Qin Feng saw the case file, a prompt appeared in his mind's diary.

"Ding! Notification: The first generation leader of the Mohist school, Mozi, has left behind the secret manual of his innate technique, the [Heavenly Demon Transformation Style]. This manual can counter the [One Sage]'s innate technique, the Great Harmony of Heaven and Earth Style!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed upon seeing the notification. "Damn! I was just wondering how to fight [One Saint] to the death, and you actually sent me [Heavenly Demon Transformation]!"

Hahaha!

What great luck!

With the [Heavenly Demon Transformation], the [One Saint]'s ideal of universal harmony is no longer a threat!

Although Qin Feng wanted it, he couldn't be too greedy.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng feigned reluctance, "Brother Dao, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this thing belongs to your Mo family. If someone from the School of Diplomacy like me sees it, do you think the Mo family will forgive you?"

The swordsman Xiao Hei's eyes hardened, and he said coldly, "Who dares! The seniors of the Mo family are too lazy to care about the affairs of us juniors, but among my peers in the Mo family, which one is so blind as to bare their teeth in front of me! Even that heartless Dao Lord couldn't withstand three of my strikes! My Mo family, like your School of Diplomacy, values ​​strength above all else! You can watch all you want, just tell me the truth after you've seen it. Of course, I also hope that you can keep it a secret. Although this matter won't affect me if it gets out, it will bring you a bad reputation."

Qin Feng was relieved to hear this. "Alright, leave this to me. I'll understand it and notify you, Brother Dao, as soon as I make any discoveries!"

The swordsman nodded, about to signal the drunkard to leave.

The drunkard stood up, glanced warily at the two gods' seats, and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Qin, to be frank, these two are complete idiots! One's a bit dim-witted, and the other thinks he's the smartest person in the world! Don't listen to their schemes; their scheming abilities are both terrible, and they always think they're something special..."

As the swordsman spoke, the two gods stood up, clearly having noticed that someone was speaking ill of them.

It looks like the two sides are about to clash!

Qin Feng hurriedly stepped in the middle, about to dissuade them.

At that moment, a news report appeared on the television screen, broadcast by a beautiful female presenter.

"Breaking news from Xianyang this morning: A major oversight has occurred in this year's science exam. Chief examiner Lü Qingshu is suspected of bribery and leaking exam content, resulting in a large number of false scores in the theory section. The evidence is now conclusive, and he was taken into custody yesterday awaiting trial. All his family members have been imprisoned! After deliberation by the Qin Science Society, the Education Society, and the Court of Justice, Gongshu Ban, president of the Qin Science Society, pointed out that, based on the principle of absolute fairness and impartiality, Lü Qingshu's actions have created enormous difficulties for the national science exam, causing many science candidates to suffer unfair treatment. Therefore, Mr. Gongshu believes that, for the greatest possible fairness, the science theory course score should be cancelled, and this year's maximum score for science will be 70 points! After the joint review by the three departments, it was decided to follow Mr. Gongshu's advice. This decision has been unanimously approved by the National Examination Command Office and has the legal force of Qin law!"

The five people present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Meng Yi's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Wow! They can even cancel scores! The science department really knows how to play tricks!"

Xiao Huang said, "We didn't take science exams, so it doesn't really concern us!"

Meng Yi pointed at Qin Feng and said, "It's different. We didn't take the exam, but Qin Feng did. It seems Qin Feng submitted a blank paper for the science subject and only got a perfect score of 70 in the experimental section! If we cancel the science theory score, wouldn't that mean Qin Feng, you're number one in science again?"

The drunkard, the swordsman, and the god of chaos all snapped out of their daze. "It seems that's how it is!"

"Holy crap, after going around in circles, you're still number one in science!"

"Seventy points for first place in science, one hundred and seventy points for first place in humanities—Qin Feng, you're unbeatable!"

Qin Feng was also a little overwhelmed at this moment. "I, damn it, I even handed in a blank paper, and I still got first place. This luck is too incredible!"

At this moment, Qin Feng finally felt that the 300cc of blood he had given every day had not been in vain. Was this the legendary saying that when the time was right, heaven and earth would lend their strength, and when fortune came, all things would move in harmony?

That's fucking awesome!

But Qin Feng couldn't show it, otherwise the four people around him would beat him up.

Qin Feng could only cough awkwardly and say, "It's getting late, I'm going to sleep. Nothing else, see you all tomorrow?"

Qin Feng was focused on returning to cultivate the [Heavenly Demon Transformation] technique and had no time to chat with these people.

Everyone looked outside. It's only morning, and you're already letting us leave?

Meng Yi, however, was adept at social interactions and chuckled, saying, "Brother Qin, forging the Martial Virtue mecha took a lot of effort; you should rest more. We'll be going now, Brother Qin, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow, Brother Qin!"

Qin Feng waved to the crowd, "See you tomorrow!"

Immediately, Qin Feng rushed into the bedroom, fell asleep, entered the virtual space, and began cultivating the [Heavenly Demon Transformation]!

Now, with one day and one night in the imaginary space, there would be at least eighty or ninety days and nights, enough for me to perfectly learn the [Heavenly Demon Transformation] and defeat the [One Saint]!

It's finished! 26,000 words in total, perfect! Hooray! I worked on this chapter until 3 a.m., damn, I'm exhausted. I can't do this anymore. From now on, we'll only do 10,000 words a day! 10,000 words a day is fine. Any more and it'll just be filler with plot, which will annoy you guys, and I don't want to slack off either.
