This time, Jorin's department was visiting a light armor manufacturing factory. He simply found someone to borrow a female student's uniform for Esha and brought her along to broaden her horizons. He did not expect to meet with an accident along the way.
A spark flew out of nowhere and hit the back of Jorin's head. Jorin fainted on the spot.
Lu Sheng rubbed the back of his head and put on a pained expression.
The surrounding students saw that he was fine. They stopped what they were doing. They were going to look for their teachers.
"Let's go to the infirmary later. Don't leave any hidden injuries," said Shajay, the class monitor who led the group, with a frown.
"I'll go in a while." Lu Sheng stood up and nodded slightly.
The rest saw that he could still stand up. They stopped crowding around him. The class monitor, Shajay, continued to bring everyone to visit the next venue.
This was how it was in a class. They seemed to be classmates, but in reality, after four years of university life, most of the students would not have much contact with each other unless they were exceptionally outstanding.
Only a small group of family members and second-generation heirs of organizations would gather for the sake of networking. The rest of them would be considered lucky if they could complete their studies every day. They would not have the time to take care of each other.
Moreover, only a fixed number of students could graduate from a class. Everyone would have to fight for this quota.
Lu Sheng followed behind the group with Esha's support. He recalled Jorin's karma and wish.
"This world is interesting. Humans use their weak and frail bodies to control powerful armors. Although there are guns and cannons, they're nothing compared to armor. However, armor is too powerful. It reduces the difference between humans. If an adult and a child were to fight using armor of the same level, the child would be able to kill the adult as long as he's skilled enough. '
Lu Sheng licked his lips and began to recall Jorin's karma and wish.
"Let me see … Your wish is … to find out the truth? Revenge?! The truth? "
Sixteen years ago, Serin City was hit by a huge explosion. It was said that the explosion was a premeditated criminal act. The exact purpose was unknown, but it seemed to be an assassination attempt on an important person.
The explosion affected many buildings nearby. More than sixty people died, and more than a hundred were injured.
More than thirty people died in the explosion at the orphanage Jorin was in. Most of them were orphans.
All of Jorin's good friends died in that massacre.
Therefore, his wish was to find the real culprit and take revenge!
"This is a society that completely relies on armor. The difference in armor determines everything, and the effect of individual intelligence is magnified. This is going to be troublesome … "Lu Sheng was a little depressed, and he began to test the laws of the outside world.
However, the feedback from the Yang Essence was not good.
The laws here were extremely sturdy and strange, and all unnatural energies were weakened to an exaggerated degree. Not to mention inner force and essence qi, even the most basic qi and blood were restricted to the point where they couldn't even maintain their form.
'Fortunately, the flow of time isn't bad. As expected, only a world like this has the fastest time flow. One day in Great Yin is more than 40 days here. Not bad, not bad. Lu Sheng casually strolled with the group while thinking about how to break out of this situation.
If he wanted to break through the restrictions of the laws and adapt to the environment here, he would need at least two years.
Of course, it wouldn't matter if it was just a simple removal of some of the restrictions.
"Since we're here, let's use the rules here to solve the problem." Lu Sheng's spirit scanned the inside and outside of this body. He began to meticulously adjust and perfect the various problems and hidden injuries of this body.
Esha supported him from the side. She still had a worried expression on her face.
Along the way, most of the students were taking out pen and paper to record their insights and data. The armor manufacturing data and methods here were good for the students who operated armors in actual combat. It would be good for them to have an in-depth understanding of how to operate armors in the future.
Lu Sheng roughly scanned the area, and basically understood the craftsmanship of the armors here.
Most of them were similar to mechas. The most important parts were actually the materials and the control core.
These two parts were not open to the public. Other than that, it looked no different from the assembly lines and automated factories on Earth.
"Alright, that's all for today's tour. Everyone, return to your dorms. After that, each of you will hand in a 3,000-word review to Teacher Louis. You may leave now. " Class Monitor Shajay waved his hand. After handing over the homework given by the teacher, he turned around and left in a black sedan.
Many of the other students also had their own cars to pick them up outside the factory.
The remaining half of the students, including Lu Sheng, were just commoners or children of ordinary families. They dispersed and left in all directions.
Supported by Esha, Lu Sheng looked at the streets and shops here.
On both sides of the silver-gray driveway, there were rows of hardware shops. Occasionally, there would be a snack bar. There was a long queue in front of the shops, and it was unusually lively.
The street lamps were in the style of medieval Europe lanterns. They had a black exterior and a square glass cover at the top. Electric lights were lit inside.
The roads and streets were clean and tidy. The style of the vehicles passing by was similar to that of Europe during the early industrial revolution. The engines were loud, and the speed was not fast. There were also many carriages passing by. There were empty signs hanging on the sides of the carriages.
"What a strange world." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly. He flagged down a carriage with Esha.
"No, Lin Lin. Carriages are very expensive. We can walk back." Esha wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Lu Sheng grabbed her and pulled her into the carriage.
The two of them sat in the back of the four-seater carriage. They faced the wind, and their hair was blown back.
"Alright, alright. It's right to take a carriage. I'm sorry, Lin Lin. I didn't expect you to faint just now. You're not feeling well …" Esha suddenly came to her senses.
"It's alright." Lu Sheng smiled. "I'm in my second year of university this year. It's time for me to come out and find a way to earn money. I can't always rely on you to support me."
"But …" Esha was slightly stunned. Her eyes widened. She was slightly happy, but soon, fear crept into her heart.
Lin Lin was a top student of the Platinum Academy. He was handsome, and his figure was well-proportioned. If he could earn money on his own, wouldn't she be of no use to him?
In the future, without this layer of relationship, would Lin Lin still be willing to be with her?
The more Esha thought about it, the more fearful and worried she became.
In comparison, she had nothing. Her looks were average. Perhaps her figure was alright, but there were too many female students with good figures in the academy. Long periods of training had made the students' figures well-proportioned and graceful. As for her …
Esha lowered her head. She rubbed her legs together. She suddenly felt a little sad.
"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng was a little puzzled. However, when he thought about it again, he immediately understood Esha's disappointment based on the relationship between Jorin and Esha.
"It's alright." He reached out and pinched Esha's cheek. "Are you afraid that I'll fall for the other female students in the academy? Don't worry. Compared to those shaky ties of interest, the relationship between us is the most precious."
Although Esha was still a little uneasy, she felt better when she heard this. She reached out and held Lu Sheng's hand, and placed it gently on her thigh.
She seemed to have made up her mind. She lowered her head and said shyly, "If you want … I … I can do it …"
"It's alright. We'll do it as we've agreed. "Lu Sheng smiled and pulled her into his embrace.
As he sat in the carriage, Lu Sheng observed the scenery of the city.
The Platinum Academy was located in the second largest city of the Alan Federation — Suderman City. This place had the largest special metal processing plant and the largest Banner Alloy mine.
The Platinum Academy was not the only one. There were two other medium-sized military academies that had settled down here.
The entire Suderman City gave Lu Sheng the feeling that it was like London during the Industrial Revolution. Under the misty clouds, dust was everywhere. The ground appeared clean and tidy. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that there was a thin layer of black dust covering the ground.
The people were dressed appropriately. Regardless of whether they were rich or poor, their clothes were clean and tidy. There were very few vagabonds.
As the carriage hurried to the academy, Esha alighted halfway. She returned to her rented house first. For Jorin's sake, she found a job near the academy. She gave 90% of her salary to Jorin for the academy's expenses. She, on the other hand, had a hard time.
Lu Sheng did not alight after her. After watching Esha leave, he slowly alighted at the academy's entrance.
The Platinum Academy's entrance was made up of two huge black metal statues. They formed the doorposts. The huge iron door between the statues was the entrance.
At this moment, the iron door was wide open. After Lu Sheng paid, he followed the students into the academy.
The academic buildings and laboratory buildings were all white with black roofs. It was no different from an ordinary university.
The male students in the academy wore slim-fitting shirts, long pants, and ties. The female students wore shirts, skirts, and black stockings.
At a glance, he did not look like he had entered a military academy. Instead, he looked like he had entered a modeling academy.
Lu Sheng returned to the dormitory building along the shaded path with familiarity. He quickly found his room. He entered and locked the door from the inside.
The only good thing about the academy was that every student had a single dormitory. There were no exceptions.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, his gaze fell on a thin white metal external armor hanging in the corner of the wall.
Other than this armor, the entire dormitory was spacious and bright. It was no different from an ordinary university dormitory.
There was a bedroom, a study, a bathroom, and a shower room. It had everything. The only thing missing was a living room compared to an ordinary residence.
Lu Sheng walked forward and stood before the armor. He extended a hand and caressed its material.
It was cold and smooth like silk.
He flipped the shoulder of the armor. There was a row of words carved on the inside of the armor.
"Daily-use Lightweight Soldier Armor X17, Student Specialized Training Outfit."
'Is this the armor of this world?' Lu Sheng looked at it curiously. At the same time, he removed the armor from the wall.
The entire armor weighed about a dozen catties. It wore a simple metal helmet on its head. It was as round as a motorcycle helmet.
Its body was like a bodysuit. It was simply wrapped in white metal. Then, there were special white bumps on the joints and vital parts to protect them.
The entire structure was extremely simple.
"Let me see the true secrets of this world." Lu Sheng reached out and tapped the center of the armor's brows.
