By the time Ke Yunyao finished refining Markaro’s firearms, the aroma of the food Jiang Tian was preparing had already begun to spread.
Ke Yunyao sat on the ground, took a deep breath, and decided to pause for a moment. She was getting hungry.
Seeing that she had finished the weapon in her hands, Vashi immediately ran over. “Yunyao!”
“Captain!” Ke Yunyao looked up at him briefly, then quickly shifted her gaze back to Jiang Tian’s cooking.
Vashi found it a little amusing. He really hadn’t expected her to be this food-driven.
He cleared his throat and bent down, handing her the medicinal plants. “Ahem… Yunyao, take a look at these. Do you have any use for them?”
Ke Yunyao reluctantly tore her attention away. “Ah? Oh. Just give them to me first. I’ll check later.”
“Alright.” Vashi passed them to her.
She casually stored them in her spatial ring.
Then she took out the four weapons she had finished that afternoon. “Captain, these are the ones I’ve completed so far today.”
Although Vashi had been paying attention the entire afternoon, seeing the finished products still shocked him.
“These… are all completed already?”
“Mm.” Ke Yunyao nodded.
Vashi couldn’t help reaching out to touch them—but just as he moved, a gust of wind swept behind him. By the time his hand lifted, the weapons were already gone.
He straightened up and saw Yan Chixi and the others each holding their own weapon, admiring them.
“The curve of these twin blades is beautiful. These are clearly excellent blades,” Yan Chixi praised endlessly.
She liked them immediately, though she felt they were a bit small.
However, she quickly thought of Jiang Tian’s blade and immediately installed an A-rank star core into the weapons, then bound them with spiritual energy.
Her eyes lit up instantly. She could feel a direct connection with the blades now—they were completely under her control.
With a thought, the twin blades expanded, adjusting to her preferred length.
She then immediately began testing them in the open space. The slicing sound tore through the air as the blades moved with overwhelming force.
It was clearly excellent.
Not only her, Yan Zhou and the others also installed A-rank star cores into their weapons and bound them.
Yan Zhou’s small sword instantly extended into a long blade. Yang Qi’s war hammer grew from small to massive. Markaro’s firearm transformed into a long-barreled cannon.
All of them immediately began testing and playing with their new weapons.
Yan Zhou felt the lightness of the sword and his movements became almost ghostlike as he spun it through the air.
“Good, good! Excellent sword!” he praised repeatedly.
Yang Qi slammed his hammer into the ground. At the moment of impact, spikes suddenly shot out from the hammer head.
The ground was instantly cratered, full of pits and holes.
“Hiss—”
Even Yang Qi himself was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
“Hahaha! This is great, this is amazing!” It was perfect for unexpected attacks—he absolutely loved it.
Markaro didn’t test-fire his cannon. Just from the multiple barrels, it was obvious the firepower was enormous—no need to test it.
Even so, the way he kept examining it made his satisfaction obvious.
Only Wang Yelin stood nearby, envious beyond measure. His weapon hadn’t been made yet; he had to wait his turn. Watching his teammates’ weapons only made him even more eager.
Their team’s mecha engineer was truly incredible—she actually delivered custom weapons exactly as requested.
Thinking of this, he looked toward Ke…
Huh? Where did she go?
The spot where Ke Yunyao had been was already empty.
In fact, the moment the weapons were taken, Ke Yunyao had already stored her items away and slipped over to Jiang Tian while everyone was focused on the weapons.
Jiang Tian had already finished grilling the meat. As soon as she arrived, he immediately started feeding her.
By the time Wang Yelin looked over, Ke Yunyao was already happily eating.
Seeing her enjoying the food, he couldn’t help thinking she didn’t look like a cold, powerful mecha engineer at all.
Vashi, meanwhile, looked at the weapons in Yan Chixi and the others’ hands and was once again deeply shocked.
The mecha engineer assigned to their team was genuinely too strong. Judging from these weapons alone, he could already imagine how much their overall combat power would increase once everyone was fully equipped.
But after his excitement, he quickly calmed down.
Ke Yunyao was indeed strong—but even she was only second place in the entrance exam. Above her was the first-place student.
Li You.
Just how strong would that person be?
If Li You also obtained a material supply box, their strength would increase even further.
A serious threat.
They had to prepare in advance. If they encountered them later, they couldn’t afford to be caught off guard.
Meanwhile, Duan Yang and Meng Lingling, watching the others handle their weapons, reacted differently.
Duan Yang was extremely excited. Seeing weapons perfectly matching each person’s request, he felt his long-desired hoe weapon was not far away. He was practically vibrating with anticipation.
Meng Lingling, on the other hand, became even more cautious toward Ke Yunyao. Given the strength she had already demonstrated, her future achievements would definitely not be low. She decided she needed to be more careful in her attitude—she couldn’t afford to offend her.
……
The most shocked, however, were the teachers in the office who had been watching all of this.
Especially the one who had previously questioned her—their eyes were practically popping out.
Kevin smiled the widest. “Ah, sorry about that! Even I didn’t expect it—my student is quite straightforward. She didn’t waste a single bit of material and successfully forged exactly what her teammates wanted.”
His apology carried no real remorse—only clear pride.
The other teachers: “……”
Could you smile any wider? You’re basically telling us to look.
As if your department is the only one with talent. Ours has it too.
It’s just that it hasn’t shown yet—it’s only the first day!
Kevin: Hmph. Is it that hard to admit someone else is good?
“So Kevin, are all your students this strong?”
“If even your second place is this impressive, your first place must be even more terrifying.”
Kevin paused.
He thought about it. The first-place student from the Li family had earned his ranking by dismantling a mecha, reassembling it, successfully replicating its spiritual energy circuit connection, and even improving parts of it.
As for weapon forging… he wasn’t too sure about Li You’s capabilities in that area.
But… he should still be quite strong, right?
