Ferocious Anticipation
The battalion commander of Heaven Execution Training Camp, Ye Jingshan, was sitting in his office, his expression as cold as an iceberg. Opposite him was the head of the mechatronics division, Rocky.
Things were getting stranger and stranger. First, the three divisions led by Qiu Xiangji had gotten into a bad relationship with each other in order to recruit Xia Fei. Then, before Xia Fei and Chen Dong's match was over, Li Mo from the vanguard division had come asking for Xia Fei, saying that he had taken a liking to Xia Fei's fighting spirit.
Now, even Rocky from the mechatronics division had come looking for him, saying that Xia Fei's modification skills had reached the master level and wanted to recruit Xia Fei.
Unlike the previous four supervisors, Rocky knew that the mechatronics division's foundation was shallow, making it hard for them to recruit students with combat-type abilities. That was why he wanted Ye Jingshan to help coordinate the various divisions and have Xia Fei join the mechatronics division.
Rocky, did you say that Xia Fei's understanding of machinery modification has reached the master level? Ye Jingshan furrowed his eyebrows as he asked.
Battalion Commander Ye, Xia Fei has yet to reach the level of a master in terms of technique, but his understanding of machinery and the competition is already rather high. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's at the level of a master, Rocky said with a straight face.
Nowadays, many of the functions of machinery have been developed to the extreme, and the biggest temptation that all mechanical engineers face is to make a choice. Installing an additional component will give them an additional function, but very few will consider whether they really need that function or not.
This cadet Xia Fei is very decisive when it comes to making a choice. He knows very well what his goal is, how to achieve it, and what kind of risk he is willing to take in order to achieve that goal.
It's been many years since I've met such a calm cadet who dares to challenge himself. Battalion Commander Ye, the mechatronics division is in dire need of a talent like Xia Fei. I hope that you can coordinate with the commanders of the other divisions to let Xia Fei join our mechatronics division. Rocky was getting more and more excited as he spoke, his face turning red.
Ye Jingshan habitually drummed his fingers on the table, remaining silent for a long time. Rocky, youre not the first to ask for someone from me. To be precise, youre the fifth.
Rocky's body suddenly froze, and he did not say a word.
The mechatronics division was already on the decline in Heaven Execution Training Camp, so if any other division wanted Xia Fei, it could be said that the mechatronics division had no chance at all. This was something Luo Ji was very clear on.
Dont mention anything about Xia Fei again. Let him choose which division he wishes to join. No one is to approach him, Ye Jingshan said with a cold expression. You may return now.
Rocky Ji sighed and got up to bid farewell to Ye Jingshan, his expression filled with sorrow.
After Rocky left, Ye Jingshan dialed Hou Baishan's number. About ten minutes later, Hou Baishan arrived at Ye Jingshan's office.
I heard that youve secretly investigated Xia Fei? Ye Jingshan went straight to the point.
Hou Baishan nodded and bluntly said, "It's like this. I've checked some information on him, but I haven't sent anyone to follow him."
"Did you find anything special?"
Hou Baishan thought for a moment. "So far, I only have a grasp of Xia Feis movements over the past few months. After the assessment, he went to the warship graveyard and assembled a naval-issue frigate. The person who assembled the frigate for him is called Porter, the owner of an assembly factory.
"If there's anything strange, it has to be this Porter. I've investigated Porter's background and discovered that his information was forged," Hou Baishan said in a low voice.
"Oh?" Ye Jingshan was silent for a moment. "Send me the results of your investigation."
Hou Baishan took out his microcomputer and sent the information to Ye Jingshan's mailbox.
Ye Jingshan flipped through it page by page, and all of a sudden, his eyes were fixed on Old Porters picture, his gaze flickering.
After a moment of silence, Ye Jingshan said to Hou Baishan, "Cease all investigations on Xia Fei from now on."
Hou Baishan nodded. Though he was very confused as to why Ye Jingshan had stopped him from continuing his investigation, he did not ask. As a supervisor of investigations, Hou Baishan knew very well what he could and could not ask.
After Hou Baishan left, Ye Jingshan cupped his chin with both his hands and stared at the picture of Old Porters missing an eye for a very long time.
Leaning back in his seat, Ye Jingshan sighed and muttered to himself, "To be able to execute unimaginable dodging and assassination maneuvers, to be able to get the machine god Porter to personally assemble a spaceship for you. Xia Fei, Xia Fei, just how many more secrets are you hiding? "

Many mechanical enthusiasts had gathered in the extreme hovercraft assembly warehouse, all of them huddled together in a quiet discussion.
The prototype of an extreme hovercraft hovercraft had already begun to take shape, though no one could understand what it was.
Xia Fei's skills were impeccable, and there was no way he was a layman.
However, Xia Fei, who looked like an expert, was actually doing something that was not something an expert should be doing.
The three-section anti-shake system was removed, leaving only one section.
The passive defense system was completely removed.
The air stabilizer was reduced to two-thirds of its original size.
Two fuel injection systems were installed, and a manual adjustment device was added. The diameter of the fuel injection tube was expanded by 0.4 millimeters.
Every time Xia Fei made such crazy changes, the onlookers would erupt with exclamations and doubts.
Brother, you cant make any more changes to the cooling system. This is a hovercraft, not a death hovercraft! Do you want to die or not? A bearded man could not help but loudly remind Xia Fei. From his point of view, Xia Fei had already crossed the line with these changes, and there was a high chance that the hovercraft would completely collapse.
Xia Fei was unmoved, completely ignoring the opinions of these so-called experts. The truth was, he was already 200% engrossed, so he could not even hear what these people were saying.
The bearded man helplessly shook his head and asked a curly-haired man beside him, Old Pang, do you think this hovercraft can still be driven?
The curly-haired man shrugged. Dunno. Either way, Im not going to drive such a dangerous hovercraft on the track.
After all, there were only a few people like the two of them who were kind enough to warn Xia Fei. Most of them were just watching with a sense of schadenfreude. The more dangerous the modifications Xia Fei made to the car, the happier they would be.
Actually, Xia Fei was aware of all these dangers, and he was even more aware of them than others. According to Xia Feis calculations, the risk he was currently facing was not beyond what he could handle.
There was no such thing as absolute safety in this world, and all safety was relative. That was why he needed to find a balance between relative safety and the highest performance.
To get the best performance, he needed to bear the corresponding risk. This was Xia Fei's modification theory.
Moon Song was extremely excited, pouring Xia Fei a glass of water one moment and wiping the sweat off his forehead the next.
Unfortunately, Xia Fei was like a madman when it came to work, completely unromantic. He would often push Moon Song far away so that she would not disturb him.
Women were strange creatures. The more Xia Fei ignored Moon Song, the more she wanted to get closer to him. She even interpreted Xia Fei's rudeness as his dedication to his work.
Bai Ye could no longer stand it. He tossed the tools in his hand onto the ground and walked out with a cold expression.
He had always considered himself a prince, but not only had he failed to win the princess' heart, he had even become the one who was circling around a toad. Bai Ye's heart had completely lost its balance, and he was on the verge of breaking down.
Food. Xia Fei did not even raise his head as he tossed out two simple words.
Moon Song immediately came to Xia Fei's side excitedly. Madman Xia, you finally know that you're hungry. What do you want to eat? Ill go buy it for you right away.
Xia Fei's arm was twisting a screw rhythmically, his attitude meticulous. Anything.
Moon Song turned to Beihai and Manjun. Did you hear that? Xia Fei wants to eat now. You two hurry up and go buy it.
Manjun knitted his eyebrows. Why is it just us? Didnt you promise Xia Fei to buy it?
Moon Song coldly harrumphed, putting her hands on her hips. Didnt you hear what this lady said? It's all because of you two idiots, claiming that you know how to assemble a racing hovercar, only to end up becoming a laughing stock. If not for you two, Xia Fei wouldn't have to work so hard.
It was not a wise choice to reason with a woman, so Beihai dragged Manjun out of the warehouse in a hurry to buy something to eat.
Bai Ye was getting angrier the more he watched. With his hands behind his back, he strode out of the warehouse without looking back.
There were still many loyal fans waiting for Bai Ye outside, and the moment they saw him come out, these crazy women all crowded around him, asking him about his well-being.
Bai Ye did not say a word, quickly making his way back to his dormitory.
An extremely ugly female cadet covered her heart with her hand as she said in a love-struck manner, Mr. Bai actually has such a cold side to him. I really love him to death.
Very soon, Beihai and Manjun returned with several lunchboxes, which were filled with fried chicken and cornbread.
Moon Song's almond-shaped eyes widened. I told you to buy food, so why did you guys buy lunchboxes? How could they possibly be nutritious?
Before she even finished speaking, Xia Fei had already picked up one of the lunchboxes and started wolfing it down, completely ignoring the food inside.
Xia Fei was never picky about food, as long as he could eat his fill. The chicken and cornbread were no different from delicacies in Xia Fei's eyes.
Five lunchboxes were finished in three minutes, and Beihai, who was watching from the side, was shocked. God, this eating speed is enough for me to take part in an eating contest.
Wiping his mouth, Xia Fei patted his half-full belly and got back to work. The machines in front of him were constantly attracting him, and if he did not finish this job as soon as possible, he would not be able to sleep well even if he were to sleep.
Time passed very quickly, and Xia Fei's speed remained the same. Just his passion for his work was enough to put many people to shame.
That was when Chen Dong suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
Crazy Chen, where are you going? Moon Song asked. The hovercar isnt finished assembling yet.
Chen Dong did not turn around. He waved at Moon Song and said, This guy is working so hard that I feel uncomfortable all over. I need to go back and cultivate, too.
It was late at night, and Xia Fei had been working nonstop for ten hours since noon. Aside from the three minutes he took to eat, he had not stopped for even a second.
Some people in the crowd were already yawning, but no one was willing to leave. They all wanted to see what this crazy hovercar would look like when it was finished.
Of course, Xia Fei would not disappoint them. He polished the outer shell of the hovercar, making it thinner and more aerodynamic.
When it was close to one in the morning, when the last screw was in place, the assembly of the extreme hovercar was finally complete.
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei let out a long sigh and looked around, only to realize that he was being watched by thousands of people.
Brother, I really admire your guts. You even modified the energy system. Are you not afraid that it will overheat and explode?
Assembling an extreme hovercar in eleven hours, and you even modified every single part. You've already set a new record.
Will you be driving this dangerous hovercar, or will someone else be driving it?
The curious onlookers began to ask Xia Fei questions, making it seem like a press conference.
Xia Fei smiled and did not answer their questions. He quickly squeezed his way out of the crowd and retreated back to his dormitory.
Xia Fei, youre truly a god. Did you know that these people were all dumbfounded watching you assemble the hovercar? You didnt see their faces. Man, they were just short of drooling, Moon Song excitedly said as she caught up to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei nodded slightly, not saying a word. He was still recalling the assembly process, looking for any possible mistakes.
Though this extreme way of assembling a hovercar could greatly improve its performance, it also contained many uncertainties, so he needed to take it seriously.
Moon Song quietly hugged Xia Feis arm and whispered, You even touched me today.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows and hurriedly pulled his arm out from Moon Song's embrace. Why would I touch you? Youre not a woman.
B * stard! Moon Song straightened her back, looking like a fiend. You already touched me, yet you still won't admit it?
Xia Fei felt a chill run down his spine, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Moon Song revealed a strange smile. Haha, this lady was just playing with you, yet you actually believed me?
Speaking of which, your serious look is quite my cup of tea. If there comes a day when this lady no longer likes women, perhaps I'll let you have it easy.
Xia Fei was speechless for a moment, furrowing his eyebrows as he muttered to himself, God bless me. I hope that day never comes.
。

Early the next morning, Bai Ye, who had been welcomed by all the female cadets, arrived at the assembly warehouse early, his usual elegant smile back on his face.
He waited from early morning until sunset, yet the woman he wanted to see the most had yet to appear.
Diagonally across from him was a red extreme hovercar parked quietly in the assembly area. From time to time, people would come up to it and excitedly discuss something.
This hovercar looked no different from a normal extreme hovercar, but everyone knew that there was a lot of craziness hidden under its ordinary appearance.
Many rich kids would bring their servants or butlers to the training camp to serve them, and the Bai Family's third young master was no exception.
Following behind him was an old man in his fifties. He was very skinny and had a listless look on his face, looking as if he had not fully woken up yet.
Bai Ye secretly gave the old man a look. The extreme hovercar race is in a few days; Im really looking forward to it.
When he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word 'very', and the old man nodded knowingly.
