Yun Xingze's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat at this moment.

He obviously doesn't like being treated as a minor, but Luo Wenchuan's name gives him the illusion of being spoiled.

On the wrist, the other party's warm thin cocoon and gentle strength made Yun Xingze's body temperature rise.

Luo Wenchuan held the palm of his wrist and released it only when the crowd had receded.

Yun Xingze took a peek at Luo Wenchuan, and saw that he was calm and composed, thinking that he should be worried about losing himself.

There must be no other meaning.

The two were looking for a shop selling mecha paint in the garden party.

The mecha paint that Yun Xingze is looking for is similar to the concealed paint of the shadow mecha, but it is more adaptable than the concealed paint and has a faster response speed.

Yun Xingze had used this kind of paint in his previous life. The research and development process was complicated and required a lot of capital investment. So he wanted to buy the ready-made paint directly, but he couldn't find it after searching the garden party.

"Otherwise, let's go back. I'll see if there are any on Xingnet." Yun Xingze said to Luo Wenchuan with some disappointment.

After Yun Xingze finished speaking, he took a bite of the pink marshmallow in his hand, which smelled of strawberry.

This marshmallow can change color, after biting it, it turns yellow and emits a mango smell.

"You can't find it here, not even on Starnet. The reason why the garden party is famous is that you can buy all kinds of strange things here." Luo Wenchuan replied calmly, "Moreover, it's not nothing to get there. "

Speaking of this, Luo Wenchuan glanced at the various delicacies he was carrying-Yun Xingze picked them all.

Yun Xingze sighed, just as he was about to give up, he suddenly saw the mecha accessories shop between the two gourmet shops.

"Is this store here when I passed by here just now?" Yun Xingze asked Luo Wenchuan in confusion, "Why don't I have any impression?"

Luo Wenchuan frowned, and seemed to have no impression of this shop.

Yun Xingze thought, if there is no such place, he will stop shopping.

After entering this shop, there is only one owner, and the business seems deserted.

The decoration in the store is very simple, and it even looks like a rough house.

Yun Xingze began to wonder if it was because he didn't turn on the lights just now, so he ignored this humble shop.

"Hello, what do you need?" The boss was sitting at the counter. He was a young man with a temperament between Ba and Omega, and his voice was very soft.

It has been a few months since Yun Xingze came to this world. He has been able to distinguish the genders of most people, but he can't guess whether the boss is Ba or Omega, which feels a bit strange.

"I need a special paint..."

After Yun Xingze finished talking about his needs, he didn't have much hope in his heart.

However, the boss said: "Yes, but in the warehouse, some distance from here. If you need it, you can come with me to get it."

"That's great." Yun Xingze was overjoyed, "how do I get to the warehouse?"

The boss stood up, wearing a high-necked thin shirt and jeans, lined with a sturdy body, looks like Ba.

"Come with me." After he finished speaking, he walked into the shop.

Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan followed, and a door appeared in front of the three of them.

At this moment, the boss turned to look at the two of them. His eyes fell on Luo Wenchuan. He slowly said, "I can only let one customer and me into the warehouse."

A vigilance flashed in Luo Wenchuan's eyes, he frowned and said, "Why?"

"The number of daily entrances to the warehouse is limited." The boss turned a blind eye to Luo Wenchuan's sharp gaze. He looked at Yun Xingze, "If you are not at ease, then change one."

Yun Xingze looked at Luo Wenchuan, and whispered to him: "It should be fine. If there is anything really going on, I will contact you as soon as possible."

The main reason for saying this is that the boss looks gentle, like an intellectual, not the kind of person who can do bad things.

"... OK." Luo Wenchuan saw Yun Xingze strolling all night, and couldn't bear to let him go back disappointed, so he agreed to the boss's request.

After the door was opened, there was a dimly lit corridor.

Yun Xingze followed the boss into the passage, and the door closed immediately.

"My name is Eugene." The boss suddenly said to Yun Xingze.

Yun Xingze froze for a moment, and then politely responded: "My name is Yun Xingze."

The tunnel was a bit long, and the two of them didn't speak any more. Yun Xingze only noticed that the material around the tunnel was very special. It seemed to be for theft prevention and looked unbreakable.

Eugene led Yun Xingze to the end of the tunnel, and a second door appeared.

This door has its own identity verification system. Eugene stood in front of the door, and half a second later there was an electronic sound of "authentication successful".

However, the door closed as soon as Eugene entered.

Yun Xingze stood in front of the door with a dazed expression, and then the voice of "authentication successful" came again.

Now, Yun Xingze is even more confused-why can this door authenticate his identity?

Is the current technology so smart that the door can automatically recognize who is the customer?

Confused, Yun Xingze stepped into the warehouse.

The lights inside came on at the sound, and the room in front of the eyes was cylindrical and clean beyond Yun Xingze's imagination.

There are several large silver tables in the center of the room. There are various high-tech instruments on the table. On the outer circle are tall transparent load-bearing columns. Inside the load-bearing columns are hidden mysteries and projections of various mecha models.

On the outermost circle, which is close to the wall, is a tall silver shelf.

There are everything on the shelf.

Yun Xingze suddenly felt that it didn't look like an ordinary warehouse, but rather like a research room.

Eugene stood in front of a shelf, looked back at Yun Xingze, and said flatly: "The paint you want is here."

The shelf was at the forefront of the room. After Yun Xingze approached, he saw several transparent jars on the shelf with transparent paint.

Eugene sent the performance introduction of these paints to Yun Xingze.

After some comparison and confirmation, Yun Xingze took a fancy to one of the coatings called "Wave Sensing Nano Coating".

Although not perfect, it also fits Yun Xingze's expectations very well.

"That's it, how much is it?"

Yun Xingze looked back at Eugene happily, but at this moment, his eyes widened suddenly.

Standing beside Eugene was an Alpha boy with dark green hair, and behind them there were several people in white gowns.

"You are... Mingxiao?" Yun Xingze stared at the person next to Eugene blankly, and his expression became wary, "Why are you here? What is this place?"

He put down the canned paint in his hand, ready to send a message to Luo Wenchuan at any time.

However, Ming Xiao curled up his lips and slowly said something that made Yun Xingze stop moving: "Welcome to the Imperial Mecha Research Institute. I am the No. 13 intern researcher, Ming Xiao."

Yun Xingze was stunned, he opened his mouth and said in disbelief:

"Imperial Mecha... Research Institute?!"

Eugene nodded towards Yun Xingze: "I am an official researcher, the name was just mentioned."

Yun Xingze recovered from the shock, he still maintained a vigilant posture, and his hand at his waist could pull out a weapon to defend himself at any time.

"How could this be the Imperial Mecha Scientific Research Institute?" Yun Xingze looked at Ming Xiao calmly, "The Scientific Research Institute is called the Imperial Fortress, and no one knows where it is."

"To be precise, this is a material room of the branch institute." Ming Xiao said with a smile, "As for the title of Imperial Fortress, it is because...In Noah Star, the scientific research institute is everywhere, hidden in the depths of countless inconspicuous buildings. , Except that people who have not passed the identity verification will never be able to enter."

"Then why can I pass the verification?" Yun Xingze asked with a frown, "Does the Scientific Research Institute have my identity information?"

Eugene explained in a calm tone: "Acquired by the robot at the entrance of the garden party, your information has been loaded into the system of the scientific research institute."

Yun Xingze had a feeling of being played around. He frowned, his fingers could not help tightening, and asked in a cold voice, "What is your reason for bringing me here?"

"The reason is," Eugene's calm eyes fluctuated at this moment. He pursed his lips and said seriously, "We need you."

Yun Xingze didn't know what the scientific research institute fell in love with, he even thought it was a scam.

In order to gain the trust of Yun Xingze, Ming Xiao looked at the bottles and cans on the shelf and slowly said: "The paint you want, only our research institute can give you."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xingze's suspicion faded a bit. He must admit that the technological level of the mechas in this place is much higher than the level of the imperial mechas he has learned.

However, Yun Xingze still felt uncomfortable about their rashly "inviting" themselves to come here.

"The General Hospital has investigated you before and thinks that your mental control ability is not general and can help us complete the experiment." Ming Xiao continued, "I am the assistant of Professor Jin Xuan of the General Hospital. She specializes in neural connection technology. Responsible for collecting your data. Going to watch your game before is also a way to get data, I hope you forgive me."

"I'm sorry." Yun Xingze said with a cold face, "Does your research institute have to be so sneaky?"

Eugene pursed his lips and said, "According to the latest intelligence, federal spies have infiltrated Noah. What we are doing cannot be known to a third person other than you, and even communication is not possible."

There was concern in his tone.

After listening to Mingxiao and Eugene, Yun Xingze probably understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The research institute discovered his super mental control ability and hoped to get his help, but did not want to be discovered by the Federation.

"That's right," Ming Xiao walked to Yun Xingze, curling her lips, "I gave you the goose-yellow Noah flowers, are you okay?"

Yun Xingze looked up at him: "Have the flower moved her hands and feet?"

"Indeed." Ming Xiao said without hesitation, "but don't get me wrong, it's just modified genes. Its floral fragrance can help boost mental power, and it's only useful for people below the S grade."

Yun Xingze asked keenly: "So there will be side effects?"

There was an obvious hesitation on Ming Xiao's face for a second.

"There is only one side effect." Eugene actively said, "The scent of flowers will reduce the pheromone content in the body, but it does no harm to the body. Sorry, this is to help you improve your mental power faster and help the scientific research institute conduct experiments. The experiment is over. After that, it will return to normal soon."

This kind of hidden influence, which is hard to detect, is enough to hide it from everyone's eyes.

"Treat me in this way without my consent," Yun Xingze sneered, "Why should I help the scientific research institute do experiments?"

Behind the two, a scientific researcher couldn't help but murmur softly:

"Does this guy do not know the status of the research institute? And improving the Noah flower is a good thing that many people can't ask for."

Others followed and whispered:

"Yes, how many people are rushing to work in the research institute."

"Any bunch of improved Noah flowers can be sold at sky-high prices. He clearly makes a lot of money."

"He doesn't know how to promote..."

Ming Xiao and Eugene exchanged glances.

Then Eugene turned around and said lightly: "Quiet."

Everyone stopped talking.

"I'm sorry to make you feel deceived, but I promise that if you can help the research institute complete the experiment, we can give you what you want." Eugene looked at Yun Xingze and said word by word. "More importantly, the Empire and the Federation may be at war at any time, and our technology is behind. It is a disadvantage for you, for the people, and for the entire interstellar empire."

Eugene's words caused Yun Xingze to fall into contemplation.

Although the various practices of the research institute made him very uncomfortable, he did need their existing paint.

Moreover, after entering the research institute, he will naturally have the opportunity to design better mechas.

It's just that now this group of people only regard him as a "guilt."

"You said you need my help to complete the experiment, what do you mean?" Yun Xingze thought for a moment, looked at Mingxiao and asked.

"About the research on mental power amplifier." Ming Xiao replied, "We have developed a bond that can amplify mental power, but there is a lack of people who can activate it. As for why it can't be activated, I will tell you in a while. Unclear..."

Before his words fell, Yun Xingze immediately asked:

"It can't be activated because the material counteracts mental power, right?"

Everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect Yun Xingze to guess the reason!

Eugene was surprised: "Why do you know?"

This is the only way to explore the improvement of neural connection technology. In his previous life, Yun Xingze personally participated in the entire research and development process, and he naturally knew it.

Yun Xingze secretly made a decision in his heart.

He said to Mingxiao and Eugene: "I can help you do experiments, but the condition is that I have to talk to the dean."

As soon as these words came out, the next few researchers were not calm, and could not help but said: "Do you want to talk to the dean?"

"Dean Cheng manages everything every day, how can he be so idle?"

"To be honest, you are indeed capable, but not everyone can see the dean, and you are not the only capable person."

The dean of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute is named Cheng Yuan. He is middle-aged, but he has in-depth research on mecha technology. He created new mechas such as Shadow Mecha and Stormtrooper.

These new mechas allowed the empire to directly surpass the federation at the level of mechas. They once brought the empire a golden decade. Various mecha technological innovations emerged one after another, and Cheng Yuan became a national treasure.

The people in the Mecha Research Institute admired Cheng Yuan so much, so naturally they were very disgusted with Yun Xingze's arrogant tone.

"If you want to ask others, you have to show your sincerity." Yun Xingze didn't panic at all, "If you really can find anyone to complete the experiment, why bother to come to me?"

The scientific researchers who mocked him suddenly choked, speechless, and looked ugly.

Mingxiao and Eugene had a few words in a low voice.

In the end, Mingxiao said to Yun Xingze: "I can't call the shots. The dean has been in a meeting in the past few days. I will give him feedback when he is free."

"Please trust our sincerity." Eugene looked at Yun Xingze and said solemnly, "This experiment is of great importance. As a mecha fighter, you should know better than us. It’s an epoch-making feat that shocked the entire universe, even if it only increased by 1%."

Yun Xingze was noncommittal. He calmly picked up the canned paint on the shelf and said to Eugene, "It's almost time, how much is this material? You can make a price."

"Wave-sensing nano-coatings are not widely used at present, and they are rarely seen in the market." Eugene replied, "Give you an internal friendship price, one hundred and three thousand eight hundred stars, which is half the market price."

"Wipe a zero." Yun Xingze smiled at Eugene.

Somehow, seeing Yun Xingze's smile, Eugene had a bad feeling.

Eugene hesitated: "One hundred thousand, is it cheap enough?"

Yun Xingze said generously:

"Ten thousand."

Eugene: "..."

Ming Xiao was shocked by Yun Xingze's way of erasing.

Other researchers are not calm again:

"Brother, don't be too much!"

"Selling one hundred thousand to you, you have earned all the money, alright!"

"This method of zeroing is unheard of, and the research institute is not a vegetable market..."

Yun Xingze calmly said: "It will definitely depreciate in the future, mass production and wholesale are possible. Also, since I want to ask me for help, and I have done so many things that upset me, I can't pay 10,000, right?"

"Not too much, not too much." Mingxiao knows the importance of Yun Xingze to the research institute, he doesn't want to talk about it. "Ten thousand is ten thousand, you take it."

Yun Xingze transferred the money to Eugene with satisfaction, and said happily, "Give me a packed bag."

All researchers coincided with each other: "...you@#%￥%!"

Eugene hurriedly stopped them, turned out a storage bag in the cabinet, and helped Yun Xingze put it on.

After Yun Xingze and Eugene left the material room, someone asked Mingxiao:

"Why do you have such a good attitude to him? Look at his virtue, you will probably mess up the research in all likelihood."

Ming Xiao thought of Yun Xingze's "Material Backbone Mental Power", with an unpredictable light in his eyes.

He looked at the back of the two of them, and said in a deep voice:

"He might... be more valuable than we thought."

Behind him, the door of the material room closed.

As Eugene took Yun Xingze out, he said to him, "You think about it. In this era, the Mecha Research Institute is the only place that does not discriminate against Omega."

Yun Xingze turned his head to look at Eugene, a little startled. He didn't expect that Eugene, who was Ba, would say so.

The high neck of the thin shirt covered Eugene's white neck, and his cheeks looked tired in the dim light. He continued: "We have invested too much for this experiment, I hope you can understand."

Yun Xingze pursed his lips.

"Moreover, even if you are a volunteer experimenter, with this work experience, it will not be a problem for you to enter a large mecha company in the future." Eugene's eyes showed encouragement to Yun Xingze, "I look forward to your joining."

Under Eugene's sincere attitude, Yun Xingze finally gave a low "um" and said, "I will consider it carefully."

After leaving the corridor and returning to the shop, Luo Wenchuan had been waiting for a long time.

He was sitting on the sofa in the store, his back strained.

Seeing the two of them came out, his sitting posture relaxed slightly.

Later, Luo Wenchuan stood up, walked to Yun Xingze and asked, "found it?"

Yun Xingze nodded and raised the storage bag: "I got it." He curled his lips and smiled.

Luo Wenchuan's cold facial features were much softer at this moment, and he whispered: "That's good."

After speaking, Luo Wenchuan handed Yun Xingze a glass of juice:

"I just bought it."

Yun Xingze thought, Luo Wenchuan probably waited for him with anxiety and worry. Under such circumstances, he could still consider for himself...

What a good boss.

Yun Xingze couldn't help thinking that if he really gets the resources of the Mecha Research Institute in the future, he must help Luo Wenchuan to refit mechas as soon as possible.

If the research on the psychiatric amplifier goes well, the results will be produced in a matter of months.

At that time... Luo Wenchuan will become a 3S-level mecha fighter.

Thinking of this, Yun Xingze's smile deepened. After tasting a glass of juice, he handed it to Luo Wenchuan, "You also taste it?"

Luo Wenchuan was stunned for a moment.

He glanced at the straw, pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled.

Yun Xingze suddenly reacted, Luo Wenchuan is a cleanliness person, how could he share straws with himself.

So Yun Xingze retracted the cup and scratched his head in a jealous manner: "Forget it, I'll buy you a cup later."

Luo Wenchuan was about to froze when he bowed his head.

At this moment, Eugene behind them suddenly said: "I have a double straw."

Both of them looked at him in surprise.

Eugene didn't know which corner of the mecha shop he took out a packed double straw and handed it to the two of them.

"Uh," Yun Xingze was taken aback for a moment, "Why do you have..."

"I've also opened a juice shop here before." Eugene said calmly, "can't it?"

"No…"

It seems that Eugene has deceived many people into scientific research institutes.

After Yun Xingze put on the double straws, he handed one of them to Luo Wenchuan.

Luo Wenchuan was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and took a sip of juice.

Afterwards, he pursed his thin lips in a pleasant tone: "It tastes good."

Yun Xingze felt that Luo Wenchuan should be happy.

But it seems...

Hidden a touch of loss?

He probably thinks too much.

After returning to the hotel, Yun Xingze packed up the things he had purchased at the garden party, and his eyes fell on the bunch of Noah flowers on the freezer.

He walked slowly to the freezer and looked at the goose yellow petals. The fragrance of the flowers made him feel refreshed.

"Improve mental power," Yun Xingze whispered to himself, "but lower the pheromone content in the body..."

He didn't care about this side effect.

Although the research institute gave him this bunch of flowers to allow him to participate in the experiment, it can help him quickly upgrade to S-level.

This is a good thing for the game.

In the next few days, Yun Xingze successfully modified the mechanical beast with the paint he bought.

This "wave-sensing nano-coating material" is more sensitive and more effective than he thought.

The only drawback is that the material has limited induction and diffusion of fluctuations, and can only be applied to particularly small mechas, not mainframes.

After the mechanical beast was modified, Yun Xingze had already thought of countless ways to defeat his opponent.

As he was confidently preparing for the game, he found that his teammates were a little sad.

Yun Xingze asked Olier the reason, and Olier directly gave him several links.

In major forums and news, the analysis of the competition between the Star Naval Academy and the San Klito Mecha Academy emerges endlessly.

And most of them look down on the Star Naval Academy and praise San Klitto.

Even the comments under these news are biased towards San Klito, by the way, belittle the Star Naval Academy, and there are many inexplicable personal attacks.

Yun Xingze looked at it, and suddenly realized that many of these comments were sent in small accounts, and there were a lot of repetitive content.

After reading it patiently, he somehow remembered Richard’s evaluation of San Klitto, and immediately made a bold guess.

These press releases and post comments are very likely to be San Klitto's first step in preparing to defeat the Star Naval Academy, that is, psychological warfare.

Indeed, as Richard said...very underwhelming.
