Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 316

Chapter 316: Body double

Of course, there were also plenty of handsome men . The ever superior gene pool of Aslan made other places in the Milky Way speechless . It also a guarantee of Aslan's strengths .

And the Royal College was at the top of the pyramid of Aslan .

When one arrived at the Royal College, there was only one feeling: this was the world of elites . People who lacked confidence would never be able to survive this place .

Wang Zheng sent Ye Zisu to her dorm room and slowly strolled back to his own .

He passed by a clear, beautiful lake . Clear Water Lake . It had a magical story behind it . It was said that the lake was linked to the palace, and a few hundred years ago, during a rebellion that took place in the Aslanian palace, the rebels sealed the palace . In the most crucial moment, a princess laid a floating lotus lantern that contained the records of the rebellion into the stream in the royal palace . The lantern floated downstream, and when it came to Clear Water Lake, a student retrieved it . The news got of the rebellion got out, and an army loyal to the royal family quickly went to their rescue, taking out the rebels . The princess was Fio Aslan, the most renowned, unrivalled queen in the history of Aslan . The rise of the Aslan Empire began with her .

Even though scholars later proved that the water sources in the palace were not at all linked to Clear Water Lake, the people chose to believe in this legend .

Looking at the soft, crystalline ripples in the lake, Wang Zheng wondered if Aina had ever set a lotus lantern off in the palace .

He took in a deep breath . Aina breathed the air here too . This was Aina's hometown . He really felt close to her now . Uncontrollably, Wang Zheng's heart pumped faster and faster .

At the dormitory, he swiped and unlocked the electronic lock and entered the room . The room was huge . It was clearly a special arrangement . The fridge was filled with food . A little note was stuck in the center .

"I made the heart-shaped biscuits . Remember to eat them . The other cake was made by Huiyin!"

It was not signed off, but he was very familiar with the light fragrance .

Looking at the note, an image of the adorable and gentle Aina immediately came to Wang Zheng's mind . He really wanted to embrace her .

He smiled and took out the food from the refrigerator, and starting wolfing it down . How aromatic!

The next day, his Skylink received a notification from the Physics Department . The classes for the exchange program would only officially begin the day after the next . These two days were for them to roam about the Royal College freely for familiarization . They could also attend any class they liked to get a feel of the atmosphere . All of a sudden, nobody bothered Wang Zheng .

Lunchtime . Wang Zheng had walked around the whole morning and was roughly familiar with the Royal College . He called Ye Zisu on the Skylink . "Wanna have lunch together?"

On screen, Ye Zisu smiled . "I'm at the Royal College's School of Mech Design . I think I'll have to grab a bento here for lunch . Your little sister Xiao Shi has yet to appear?"

The Royal College's School of Mech Design had always been interested in the Wind God mech . Upon hearing that Ye Zisu had arrived at the Royal College, they couldn't wait to get in contact with her to have all sorts of discussions . It has to be said the experts knew it when they saw it . Over here, Ye Zisu could indeed receive a lot of help .

"Ahem . Not yet . Her status makes it inconvenient . You go get busy, I'll go eat first," said Wang Zheng . He could tell that Ye Zisu has already gotten into it .

"Well, cheer up!" Ye Zisu's laughter came from the other end .

He hung up on the Skylink and had a ravaging meal . The environment here was truly elegant and comfortable . But overall, it still had the air of a school campus and was not too different . Wang Zheng looked at the enormous grounds and decided to go to the training fields to have a sense of Aslan's training arenas .

Following the guidance of the campus map, he came to a building with a domineering air . It was in the shape of a sword, and a humongous model of a mech stood at the main doors . It was Aslan's most well-known primitive mech, Pioneer Generation 1 .

This was Aslan Royal College's mech training grounds . The training grounds were split into two types: a virtual battlefield and a real training field .

The Royal College was purportedly one of the top three colleges in the Milky Way, so they naturally had no shortage of real mecha . But using real mecha was not very convenient, and the authority required to activate one was too high-levelled . Most students used the virtual battlefields for training .

Unlike other places, even though it was known as a virtual battlefield, they still used real mecha for training . It was just the environment that was virtual . From the training windows, he could see individual cubicles of training rooms, and the booming sounds of mecha did not stop . The door on every training room was equipped with all-rounded data analytics . The facilities were rather complete .

The training rooms were also divided according to levels . There were many categories . Low-end mecha, high-end mecha, Aslanian mecha, and mecha from other systems . They could only enter the rooms based on their level of authorisation . The levels of access that seniors and outstanding students had were different .

This ranking of authority was also part of the Aslan Empire's elitist policy .

Wang Zheng was an exchange student, and he didn't have results yet . He had the lowest level of access . But since he wasn't a student from the Mech Department, he couldn't use the training rooms here, just as mech students were not allowed to use the Physics Department's laboratories as they wished .

Everyone in the training fields was training . It seemed like the Mech Department was having classes . He came at a wrong time .

It might have been a free training period . There were no instructors around .

Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly . He recalled the condition of Ares College and really wanted to take a few of these mecha back with him . Although they also had mock trainings like that, their conditions were extremely bad compared to this .

They didn't have a choice . The Earth district's military had gradually gone from a dominant role to a supporting role .

He was just about to leave when a training room's doors opened and a head popped out . The person smiled widely upon seeing Wang Zheng .

"Hi, friend, could you do me a favor?" the other person said in a fluent Milky Way lingua franca, which was pleasing to the ears . There was a slight Aslanian accent in it .

Wang Zheng looked around and pointed to himself . "Me?"

"Yea, there's just the two of us here . " The other guy looked around and waved at him frantically .

Wang Zheng walked over . That guy seemed anxious . "Brother, please help me . Something urgent cropped up and I need to leave . Could you stay here for me? I will be back in 10 minutes . I will thank you well!"

He looked roughly the same age as Wang Zheng and had very strong arms . His anxiousness did not seem like a pretense .

"I just have to stay here?" asked Wang Zheng .

"Yes, yes . My girlfriend is very mad, I have to go deal with her . Damn it!"

He ran off quickly as he finished his sentence, Skylink ringing away non-stop .

Wang Zheng couldn't help but shake his head . Was it that tough to skip classes in Aslan?

There was an Aslan Empire heavy mech in the cockpit . It was a basic tank type, but still one of those rarer-to-find heavy mecha .

The four main basic mecha of the Aslan Empire had essentially been replaced by the military . The country was powerful, and the military was well funded . Only a few countries could afford to replace them . But these four mecha types were classic and were still frequently used for regular training .

Aslan's four basic mecha types were: Metal Guard (tank), Elite Guard (warrior), Assassin Guard (assassin), Agile Guard (sniper) .

The one before Wang Zheng's eyes was a Metal Guard . As main tank assault type mecha were mostly beast types, the Aslanian Metal Guard was considered special .

The mech was bulky and heavy and had a lower center of gravity . It was ferocious and vigorous, indeed possessing all sorts key elements of a heavy tank mecha .

Wang Zheng was excited by the sight of the mech . He was waiting idly anyway . After touching it, he couldn't help but enter the cockpit .
