Chapter 4 Apprentice of the Future

  Hearing from Uncle Zheng, I know that I will take three tests later. Only if I succeed can I become the closed-door disciple of the big shot!

  The first test will be in tomorrow morning. I will participate in the ‘Individual Battle Mecha’ competition for this batch of new recruits!

  Only by winning the competition can I be taken to meet that mysterious big shot!

  The participants are the new recruits enrolled by the Dragon Head Fort this year, but no one should ever underestimate them just because they are the new!

  Those new recruits of Dragon Head Fort, probably except for me, any one of them pulled out at random would be a remarkable figure in the Alliance!

  After all, the Dragon Head Fort have the advantage of having the first pick of talents. Of course, the Alliance has always advocated two-way selection, but maybe no one will give up the opportunity to work in Dragon Head Fort, since it has such a long history, an excellent environment, and it also closes to the mother planet, the birthplace of humans!

  There must be at least a hundred new recruits in this batch from the entire Alliance. Each of them is an elite and a genius. Just from our Mars Academy alone, there are several super-geniuses!

  Their military qualities and martial arts levels are far beyond those of their peers! I am afraid it will be extremely difficult for me to stand out in the Individual Battle Mecha competition!

  Although my operation level of the competition is quite good and it is the subject that I have the best grades among all my subjects,

  there is no chance for me to win against these senior students who are several years older than me, who are gifted with extraordinary abilities, and whose martial arts skills are much higher than mine!

  When I heard about that competition, I wanted to back out. But I was also very curious about who the powerful hands behind me were like and for what reason I was chosen!

  Therefore, I’ve decided to participate and give it a shot!

  Anyway, it is not a shame to be beaten. At worst, I can go back and continue with the advanced training and become an ordinary person after graduation!

  This afternoon, with nothing to do, Uncle Zheng takes me for a stroll around the various space stations of the Dragon Head Fort. We take the vacuum capsule and speed along the vacuum channels on both sides of Dragon Head Fort at supersonic speed!

  The feeling is indescribably refreshing! Haha!

  It turns out that the space stations behind Dragon Head Fort have so many functions! Besides the work areas that maintain the daily operation of Dragon Head Fort and the residential areas for the population, there are also commercial space stations that sell all kinds of goods, including space stations with all types of delicious food, livestock breeding space stations where there are cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains, crop space stations where fish are raised and crops are planted, space stations full of trees and vegetation, space stations with various animals and so on...

  Uncle Zheng takes me to the food space station, where there are all sorts of food on display, all sold by vendors, and tasting wonderful!

  I have never seen so many delicious foods ever before!

  Especially that creamy ice cream. It is the first time in my life that I eat an ice cream. Just thinking about it, my mouth is watering...

  In the old days in Mars Academy, food on Mars was relatively scarce and the taste of food was monotonous. That flavour...

  Alas, it’s hard to describe...

  By the way, there are also those livestock breeding, animal and plant space stations. I should also go and have a look sometime.

  I have never seen any living animals or plants yet...

  It is fantastic to live here. No wonder those senior students fight so hard to get into the Dragon Head Fort...

  Oh, right. When Uncle Zheng and I went to have meal together, I also ran into senior sister Li Ziyuan!

  She was still surrounded by a group of people like the moon being encircled by stars, and those people were all masters on the ranking list!

  I heard them shouting during their gathering, celebrating entering the final of the Individual Battle Mecha competition. Isn’t the competition starting from tomorrow? That’s weird...

  On my way to the wash-room, I was sneered at by that group of pursuers. I almost got into a conflict with them. Fortunately, Uncle Zheng came over. Otherwise, I was afraid I would have been beaten black and blue once again...

  I wondered whether my martial arts skills could be improved after becoming the apprentice of that mysterious big shot. If my martial art skills could reach level six or seven, I should be able to defeat those guys...

  Alas, with my kind of talent, I’m afraid it’s extremely difficult to practise martial arts to level six or seven. I’ve been working hard for six years and have put in ten or even a hundred times more efforts than others, yet my martial arts skills just haven’t improved much. Maybe this is how it will be for the rest of my life…

  Alas, forget it. I’d better sleep early. I still have to participate in the Individual Battle Mecha competition tomorrow. Even if I lose, I shall go all out and not lose in a too embarrassed way...

  That’s the end of the job description report!”

  After Gu Moxun finished this report with a sense of inferiority, he stretched out his hand, passed through the blue beam, and pressed the identity card. Immediately, the beam went out.

  The activation symbol blinking previously and the words “Top Secret” had all disappeared. The identity card had turned into an ordinary transparent card with the teenager’s portrait and name, while the other columns were all blurry. It seemed that the card had been successfully activated...

  The teenager carefully placed the identity card on the table. There was still worry on his face. It seemed that he was still worried about the competition with a huge disparity in strength that would take place tomorrow...

  After subconsciously wiping off the sweat, Gu Moxun directly lay down on the bed and fell asleep right away...

  ......

  The next morning, the numbers embedded in the walls of Dragon Head Fort always showed 07:00, and a friendly female voice started broadcasting again:

  “Hello, everyone. It’s exactly seven o’clock now. You can all get up and wash up to deal today's work with full energy. Wish you all good luck!”

  As the broadcasting ended, the curtains in Dragon Head Fort opened automatically one after another, and the lowered curtains of the loong eyes also slowly rose.

  Dragon Head Fort became lively again...

  However, in Gu Moxun’s small single room, the bed was neatly made, and he was nowhere to be found...

  The teenager had got up at six o’clock in the morning and started training!

  This single room was temporarily arranged for him by Uncle Zheng yesterday. It was located in the military camp area, and there was some public training equipment right there outside his room...

  First, he ran five kilometres on the public treadmill outside to warm up. Then he punched the sandbag for a while and practised boxing and martial arts in the training ground...

  When he had practised almost enough, he followed Uncle Zheng’s instructions to go to the military dining hall for his breakfast, and then met Uncle Zheng.

  The corridors inside Dragon Head Fort were intricate. Luckily, there was a navigation system in the identity card. After Gu Moxun entered the dining hall, his identity card shot out a blue beam and formed a simple map.

  A human head symbol represented Gu Moxun, while not far away, a light spot flashed consistently, which should be the dining hall!

  Gu Moxun walked into the hall following the instruction on the map!

  The dining hall was quite large. The white walls and those white tables and chairs made this hall look so clean and tidy. All the staff inside were white robots.

  All you needed to do was to queue up and swipe your identity card on an instrument, and then you could choose your own breakfast.

  Those robots were highly efficient, and the food was prepared in advance. As long as you had chosen your breakfast, the robot could bring it to you in an instant. It was much more advanced than the dining hall on Mars...

  There were already quite a number of soldiers dressed in military uniforms queuing up for breakfast. Gu Moxun quickly went forward to line up...

  After a while, just when it was almost his turn, a tall guy suddenly cut in in front of him!

  Gu Moxun looked up and saw a young man with a fleshy face, wearing the same white military uniform as him!
