Since Professor Lu asked, coupled with his kind and humble demeanor and heartwarming smile,
Gu Ya couldn't refuse.
Having spent time together, Professor Lu was genuinely a good person, always cheerful and without ulterior motives, dedicating himself to teaching. He was indeed a well-loved teacher.
He wasn't like some teachers who would take advantage of a good relationship with students.
Professor Lu rarely asked for favors, especially knowing that his wife and parents were critically ill and bedridden. Professor Lu was busy with teaching and then rushing home to care for his family. Gu Ya could deeply understand his hardships.
What was a small request for information? Even if he had asked Gu Ya to do something else, Gu Ya would have agreed based on his character.
Gu Ya stood up, activated his wristband, and began to operate.
Not only Professor Lu, but all the students in the class also started to look on with anticipation.
Since the last battle, Gu Ya had won with an incredible combat style, and all the students' perception of his strength was renewed.
Gu Ya and they were people from entirely different worlds!
The realm of the strong, how could ordinary mortals understand it?
Everyone held their breath, listening carefully to Gu Ya's next words.
Even Leng Yun, who usually appeared listless and detached from life, now widened her eyes with curiosity.
Gu Ya slowly opened the Mech Pilot Rating System and, with his finger on the holographic interface of his wristband, swiped it towards the large holographic teaching panel at the front of the classroom.
His Mech Pilot rating information appeared on it.
Everyone, teachers and students alike, erupted in gasps!
"Holy crap??? This... this is absolutely the most astonishing thing I've ever seen!"
"Tier-S Elite Level One!! A quasi-War God!!"
"Wait! Gu Ya also participated in the War God selection trials!"
"Mom! My heart disease is cured, I need to tell my mom! There's a god in our class!"
A series of exclamations not only shook the classroom but also echoed in the corridor outside.
Within seconds, students from neighboring classes also rushed over excitedly.
Professor Lu quickly shooed away the students from other classes, closed the classroom door tightly, and gazed at the holographic panel with surprise, saying, "So, work hard, everyone!"
"Teacher! This is beyond what hard work can achieve! Gu Ya is the same age as us, and even younger than some of us! This is the gap between genius and mortal!"
"This is absolutely divine, Gu Ya, please accept my humble bow."
And so on.
Gu Ya quietly closed his information and sat down calmly, saying, "We are all classmates, there's no need for this."
What was so surprising about this? If they knew the strength of those War Gods, he wondered what their reaction would be.
Gu Ya knew his own strength level and felt there was nothing to be proud of.
If not for Professor Lu's request, he would not have revealed it so easily.
Professor Lu, being very understanding, cautioned, "Quasi-War Gods and War God level Mech Pilots are key subjects of concern for Xianxia Nation and are classified. If I had known Gu Ya was at this level, I wouldn't have let him display it to everyone. So, it's best if you all know this in your hearts but don't tell anyone, to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Don't worry, Teacher! We'll definitely keep it a secret!"
"This is great, I'm not afraid of other classes picking fights anymore."
"Mom!"
"Alright! That's enough! It's time to relax a bit, let's continue with the lesson!" Professor Lu said with a smile.
That evening in the mess hall,
Gu Ya received a handwritten love letter from a girl in his class, which she had a boy deliver.
Gu Ya tore the love letter in half in front of the boy who delivered it and threw it into the trash can, showing no regard.
What era was this? People still played such childish games. Gu Ya even felt it was shameful to receive a love letter.
They were all around twenty years old, and after graduation, they would become the pillars of Xianxia. Yet, they were still immersed in meaningless romantic affairs.
Ning Shushu and Leng Yun, sitting nearby, exchanged glances. Ning Shushu smiled slightly, knowing Gu Ya's personality, he wouldn't accept love letters. It was already a sign of Gu Ya's good mood that he didn't beat up the delivery boy.
Of course, Ning Shushu still remembered Leng Yun's remark, "He's taken." Ning Shushu was very curious about what kind of girl could capture the heart of the indifferent Gu Ya.
Moreover, how did Leng Yun know Gu Ya had a girlfriend?
After eating, Gu Ya left the classroom alone in a hurry.
Since the incident in the small courtyard, Ning Shushu and Leng Yun had returned to the dormitory building together. After chatting intermittently all the way, Ning Shushu had developed a slight liking for Leng Yun.
Leng Yun appeared dispirited, but in reality, she also had aspirations.
Especially the way she looked at Gu Ya, as if she had known him for a long time.
"So, you and Gu Ya really knew each other long ago, didn't you?" Ning Shushu cautiously asked Leng Yun.
Leng Yun coldly refused, "Don't ask such pointless questions. I need to visit your room later to ask you about two academic issues."
"But I feel like you've known him for a long time. Gu Ya might not see it, but I understand a girl's thoughts," Ning Shushu said with a gentle smile. "Do you like him?"
"Heh!" Leng Yun sneered, "Do you think that's possible?" After saying that, she quickly walked away.
Although Leng Yun's words seemed to imply "It's impossible for me to like him," in Ning Shushu's ears, they carried another meaning: "It's impossible for him to like me."
...
That night, after returning to his dormitory, Gu Ya, as usual, made calls to his three sisters at home.
Sister Ling Ling still looked tired. Gu Ya thought Zeng Lang should recruit a new person to share Ling Ling's workload.
What was a woman nearing thirty thinking, spending all day in an office?
Youyou happily chatted with Gu Ya for a long time. If Youran hadn't urged her, she wouldn't have let Gu Ya go.
Although Youyou and Youran lived together, Gu Ya still communicated with them individually.
Youran happily shared her learning progress with Gu Ya and mentioned that she had made a new friend recently, who was very nice.
As for the information about this friend, Youran didn't say, and Gu Ya naturally didn't ask further, considering it was a secret held in the little girl's heart.
After hanging up, Gu Ya then, as per routine, sent a communication request to Liang Xun.
The same busy signal.
"Sigh, it's been almost two months. Do I really have to wait half a year?" Gu Ya felt a bit frustrated.
For the past two months, he had been studying mech maintenance basics non-stop. He skimmed through what he already knew and practiced what he didn't know a few more times until he mastered it.
But Gu Ya was not satisfied!
He felt that in mech technology, especially knowledge pertaining to battlefield mech technicians, there was still a significant portion he hadn't learned.
What kind of technology truly deserved to be mastered by battlefield mech technicians?
What profound technologies in this world did Gu Ya not know?
The matter of attack resonance materials alone was enough to perplex Gu Ya. Expanding on this, he truly didn't know how many things he was unaware of.
Gu Ya felt a dull ache in his head.
He had been studying since returning from dinner, utilizing full mental concentration and the "Star Structure Blueprint" to complete two more experiments.
At this moment, he sat on the thinking sofa, pressing his temples.
The hovering holographic clock displayed exactly 1 AM, emitting a soft and pleasant chime.
His communication wristband also lit up.
Gu Ya raised his wristband, looked at it, and upon connecting, said coldly, "Did you dare to disregard what I told you?"
