Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 226: 160. Meet Zhang Kai Again_2

Luo Yongjian was unimpressed, “We’re here for special training, not a vacation, you’re way too spoiled.”

Ma Xiwei frowned and retorted, “No one would mistake you for a mute if you kept your mouth shut.”

She had always found Luo Yongjian displeasing to the eye, thinking he was an idiot who did nothing but carry a sword and play the hero every day.

Now he had so much to say — he was just asking for it!

Luo Yongjian didn’t dare to make a sound and chose to keep his mouth shut.

Ma Xiwei had lost to Shen Qinghan in the newcomer’s match, and she had been feeling frustrated for a while. She was quick to anger and there was no need to provoke her.

Well, a wise man does not eat the loss before his eyes, no need to stoop to the level of this troublesome woman…

Luo Yongjian consoled himself with that thought.

Before long.

The five of them went downstairs together and started walking around outside.

Chatting as they walked.

Shen Qinghan talked with Lin Zichen.

Li Moyu talked with Luo Yongjian.

Ma Xiwei hardly spoke, just silently followed the group.

“Look over there!”

“There’s another mech suit!”

“Come on, let’s check it out!”

Excited to see a tall mech ahead of him by a building, Luo Yongjian said a few words and hurried towards the mech.

The other four followed him over.

In a moment, they stopped in front of the mech.

Similar to the Shanhai model they had seen before, the mech in front of them was also about 10 meters tall, and the weapons it carried were of the same type.

The only difference was the color and shape.

This mech was pure gold in color and looked more slender in appearance.

Lin Zichen looked up and saw three big characters on the chest of the mech — Changzhou.

So it was a mech named after Changzhou City; it made sense that it looked more slender.

After all, the word “Chang” was in Changzhou city’s name.

“Zi Chen!”

“Xiao Shen!”

Suddenly, two loud calls came from the right.

Lin Zichen looked towards the source of the voices and saw a figure encased in alloy, a Mechanically Modified Human.

Upon closer inspection, to his surprise, he recognized the person as Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai had been a member of his junior high school Martial Arts Team.

When he didn’t make it to high school, he spent a few years as a delinquent and then suffered a broken leg, volunteering for various mechanical modification experiments with the Mech God Corporation.

However, his misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise as he became a Mechanically Modified Human, and his life took off dramatically.

The last time Lin Zichen saw Zhang Kai was during the summer break of their first year in high school.

Two and a half years had passed since then.

Zhang Kai had changed a lot over these two and a half years.

The biggest change was further mechanical modification to his body; more than half of his limbs were made of alloy, giving off a metallic sheen.

Behind Zhang Kai stood four other Mechanically Modified Humans.

All about 20 years old, with more than half of their bodies made of alloy as well.

Were these the five people sent by the Mech God Corporation to participate in the military district’s special training?

Did Zhang Kai really have the strength to participate?

Was this mechanical modification compatibility maxed out?

It was genuinely surprising…

As Lin Zichen considered this,

Zhang Kai quickly stepped forward and asked with equal surprise:

“Zi Chen, Xiao Shen, are you two representing Shan University to participate in the military district special training this time?”

“Yes.”

Lin Zichen nodded.

Hearing this definite answer, Zhang Kai’s eyes widened in disbelief:

He had heard about Lin Zichen being the runner-up in the Nanjiang Province college entrance examination.

A mere provincial runner-up stepping into the top five among the new students in Shan University – filled with valedictorians – to join the military district special training was not very likely, but it still was possible.

But what was Shen Qinghan’s story?

He remembered her as a pretty and cute girl, completely unrelated to evolutionary geniuses.

How could she have changed so dramatically in just two and a half years, becoming a top genius of Shan University, powerful enough to rank in the top five among this year’s newcomers?

Was this a case of genetic mutation?

Leading to abnormal development?

The more Zhang Kai thought about it, the more absurd it seemed, and he couldn’t help looking at Shen Qinghan as he asked, “Xiao Shen, how did you suddenly become so awesome?”

“I remember you used to get out of breath just running a few more laps on the track, and now you’re here representing Shan University at the military district special training?”

“That’s just too outrageous!”

“While other girls change their looks when they grow up, you’ve changed your strength. Even Sun Wukong’s 72 transformations aren’t as dramatic as yours!”

“It’s truly unbelievable!”

Zhang Kai grew more incredulous as he spoke, and for a moment, he doubted if he was dreaming.

Otherwise, it was really hard to explain how Shen Qinghan could have become so powerful.

Lin Zichen explained, “Han Han tested with a high Genetic Fusion compatibility during the college entrance exam, became Nanjiang Province’s valedictorian, and after undergoing Genetic Fusion a while ago, she became really powerful.”

“What? The valedictorian of Nanjiang Province?”

Zhang Kai’s eyes opened even wider, like dumbbells, and he said in disbelief, “No way, you’re not kidding me, are you? Is this for real?”

Seeing his disbelief, Shen Qinghan, the person in question, spoke up softly, “It’s true.”

Zhang Kai was even more shocked upon hearing it, murmuring, “My goodness, even Xiao Shen can become the valedictorian. That’s just completely outrageous.”

“How about you, Zhang Kai.”

Lin Zichen asked curiously, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re here representing the Mech God Corporation for the military district special training. How did you become so powerful as well?”

Zhang Kai replied, “Similar to Xiao Shen, I have a particularly high compatibility for mechanical augmentation. For the past few years, I’ve been assisting the Mech God Corporation in various new mechanical modification experiments, and with some good fortune, I never had any accidents, and before I knew it, my strength increased immensely.”
