Chapter 20: Old Lecher who loves doing artificial respiration?_1

Long Danni sat in her chair, tapping lightly on the table.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Long Danni's eyebrows relaxed, "Come in."

It was Li Hao's first time in the principal's office, seeing the legendary Principal Long.

Upon eye contact, Li Hao promptly saluted, "Greetings, Principal. Li Hao reporting."

Long Danni smiled slightly, "Li Hao, you don't need to be so formal. You did a great job in handling the recent accident, rescuing a fellow student. That was brave. The school will certainly reward you."

Li Hao raised his chest and said, "Principal, it was my duty. Actually, both Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong responded faster than I did."

"They both performed excellent too. You guys are all the pride of our Tianjing Mech Academy. Are you and Zhou Naiyi in class 16 right?" Long Danni looked at Li Hao in satisfaction.

"Yes, Principal. Naiyi, being the class monitor, takes good care of me."

"Student mutual aid is how it should be. That's how I was when I was a student too... How did you kill that giant insect?" Long Danni suddenly asked, as if it was casual chit-chat.

"It was..." Li Hao suddenly hesitated, a confused look appeared on his face. "Principal, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I didn't kill it, I thought I would die, then it just collapsed."

Long Danni just smiled and didn't answer. Li Hao's alertness was high, but he looked innocent. She could find nothing wrong by staring at his face.

"Really? Because the video shows that right after you rescued Zhou Naiyi, you looked back and the giant insect fell. How do you explain that?" Long Danni said. Despite the video being mostly blocked, it didn't stop her from trying to probe further.

Li Hao was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged, "Principal, I obviously just got lucky. Are you suggesting I killed it with a single glance?"

Long Danni laughed, "Li Hao, I just said you looked back at it, didn't suggest that you glared at it to death. Anyway, I am not bothered by that. But the fact that you, with your skills, scored last in the exams last year is simply unacceptable. Do your best to help Naiyi with her squad. I hope you can represent our school in this year's competition."

"Principal, you are aware of my past mistakes."

"I don't know what exactly happened but you've done it and paid the price for it. Now you are part of Tianjing Mech Academy, you are one of us, and your job is to defeat anyone who stands in the way of our academy's glory. Leave the rest to me." Long Danni stated confidently.

Li Hao smiled slightly, and nodded. Some things are better left unsaid, but he was more than willing to help Naiyi and the others.

"On another note, we have a new exchange student coming. She's a VIP. Your job will be to accommodate her - wherever she wants to go, whatever she wants to do, just make sure she is safe. For everything else, don't take the lead, but don't push away either. Do you get what I mean?" Long Danni looked at Li Hao as she spoke.

Li Hao was stunned, "Principal, I am not really good at socialising, can we get someone else to handle this?"

Long Danni frowned for a moment, "Seems reasonable. Can you recommend someone for this task? The school will cover all related expenses."

"Principal, after giving it some thought, this is my first task from you. I should rise to the challenge. I think I can overcome this!"

Meanwhile, in the boundless darkness on the dark side of the moon, an underground base was brightly lit.

In the lab, two giant carbon-based Razor insects glared at a humanoid, their bodies firmly restrained. Despite this, their compound eyes delivered a crushing psychological impact. Even the most battle-hardened warrior would collapse under their gaze in mere seconds.

The young man in the lab seemed oblivious to it. His eyes glowed brighter and brighter. In the very next second, the two giant insects began to leak out green fluid from their bodies. Accompanied by two loud bangs, the insects exploded, leaving the ground in chaos.

The lab door opened, and workers clad head-to-toe in protective suits filed in. They went about tidying up the mess with utmost discipline and proficiency.

The young man wiped off the green fluid on his face, a faint smile on his lips.

Li Hao preferred the current Principal Long Danni over the previous one. She had a murderous aura about her which resonated with him.

Taking care of a VIP was no big deal after all.

Upon his arrival at the infirmary, Zhou Naiyi was awake. Other classmates had already paid their visit.

"Well look who has returned, our hero Li Hao. You truly proved yourself when it mattered. Quick to protect your classmates... and quick to take action!" Marlon said with a grin.

"Shut up, Marlon. How are you feeling, Naiyi?" Li Hao asked.

Zhou Naiyi was still a bit pale. She originally thought she had planned a way out, but she didn't expect the giant insect to induce so much fear. She felt as if she was falling into an endless abyss until Li Hao saved her.

"Thank you."

"Why thank me? You take care of me all the time at school, I haven't thanked you. Just invite me for a meal when you recover. Actually, you two are the real heroes. After all, the insect died after the two of you fought back." Li Hao said with a laugh.

"You jerk! Next time I face danger, you better act decisively too, hmph!" Ye Tong was a bit annoyed. Even if mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was needed, she could have done it. It wouldn't have made much of a difference in a few seconds.

Was Li Hao secretly A Old Lecher?

At that moment, Li Hao had no other choice. Apart from the resuscitation, he had also used the moment to counter her dream suppression. Zhou Naiyi wasn't trained for this. Even a second's delay could have trapped her in her dreams forever, a fate far worse than any physical injury.

Li Hao ignored Ye Tong, "Naiyi, the principal just mentioned that you will be rewarded. She also told you to rest well."

Not long after, the doctor came in and asked everyone to leave, as the thing Zhou Naiyi needed most was rest.

Li Hao, dragging Marlon and others out, left, while Zhou Naiyi watched Li Hao's retreating figure with a slightly strange feeling in his heart.

Although he had been a military student and undergone some training, it was his first time facing life and death. The feeling was totally different. In comparison, Li Hao and Ye Tong were a bit more composed.

So was that supposed to be a...first kiss?

Today was Friday, and because of this incident, the team training was cancelled. Ye Tong seemed a bit moody, said she would fly back to Europe for the weekend. Everyone else had gone home. The dormitory was left with just Li Hao all by himself.

Sometimes, Li Hao felt that the existence of Bleem was good, at least there was someone who still cared about him.

3000 points for EMP, he had calculated and it really wasn't a small amount. He needed to take the process of scoring seriously.

The EMP building was even more crowded on the weekend. Girls were a luxury, not everyone had the good fortune to have one.

Just arriving at the gate, Li Hao received a message on his phone: "Li Hao senior, I am Yoyou. Is it convenient for you to see me now?"

Yoyou?

He remembered somewhat. Hey, isn't this the relative of Principal Long's family?

"I'm at the entrance of the EMP building, about to do some training. Want to join?" Li Hao replied reluctantly.

"Okay, senior, I'll be there right away."

[The reply came immediately, Li Hao was somewhat speechless. Miss, can't you figure out the reluctance in my words?]

Having no choice, Li Hao had to wait at the entrance of the building. Out of nowhere, a girl approached persistently.

Li Hao could sense the girl's gaze. It must be Yoyou. Anyway, he would deal with her once or twice for the principal. But...

"Are you senior Li Hao?" the girl asked, her eyes fixed on the boy who was nearly a head taller than her.

"Senior?"

Li Hao only felt his heartbeat accelerating, his heart throbbing wildly. It didn't beat this fast when he first encountered Bleem. The girl in front of him looked quite ordinary, without much makeup, and there were a few freckles near her nose. Her eyes were big, very beautiful and lively. With Li Hao's excellent perception, it was as if there were stars and great seas in her eyes. He would lose himself if he was careless... Now he finally understood what Marlon meant by the expression that a woman's eyes could be very talkative.

"Yes, I'm Li Hao, are you Aiyooyo?"

"Senior, I'm called Yoyou, not Aiyooyo." The girl laughed teasingly, her heart-shaped red lips causing Li Hao's heart to thump and his temperature to rise.

The girl chuckled at Li Hao's silly look and stuck out her tongue, "Senior, I was just teasing you earlier. Principal Long told me that I could ask you for help with anything, please take care of me."

Li Hao's heart was filled with joy, Dear Principal, I misjudged you. You are a good man.

"Yoyou, is there anything you want to do? Or eat?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hao wanted to slap himself. He was so stupid! Calm down, think about Instructor Marlon's teachings. What were they again? Stiff milk...what?

Forget it. Looking at the girl in front of him, Li Hao felt that thinking about these things was an insult.

"Senior, you're too kind. It's me who's bothering you. I'm an exchange student, I just got here two days ago, and I wanted to know what everyone usually does." Yoyou looked at the tall, nervous boy in front of her.

"Me? I'm in the Mecha Department. I'm about to do some EMP training." Li Hao replied instinctively.

"Great! I'm very interested in the EMP system too, can I join you?" Yoyou smiled slightly.

Li Hao would of course not refuse. He entered the EMP building with Yoyou. If it had been him with Ye Tong or Zhou Naiyi, they would have definitely attracted a lot of attention. But Yoyou was very ordinary. She was not too stunning, but still nice-looking. Especially in Jing Machine Martial, most people just glanced at her before moving on.

To each their own, as they say.

Upon scanning the QR code, Li Hao found that he now had second-level access to the EMP building, meaning he could access a special training room at any time.

Principal Long is indeed a generous man! Seeing the excited Yoyou next to him, and the prospect of his own exclusive training room, Li Hao felt that he should really show his appreciation for Principal Long.

"Senior, you go ahead and train. I'll just watch in the hall here. You can come find me when you're done." Yoyou said as she laughed. She understood not to disturb Li Hao too much. For the Mecha Department, training was a private matter.

Li Hao nodded his head. Seems like he couldn't train for too long today.

Logging into the EMP system, his current score was 960. There were still bonus points for consecutive victories in the actual arena, but it wasn't fast enough, he had to push harder.

Configuring the mech selection. Since Bleem didn't want to use anything outside the Armored Series, he would have to set it to prevent misselection. There's no luck involved in carrying out tasks, and no room for mistakes. Li Hao understood this better than anyone.

He limited the mech selection to the Armored Series, which consisted of three brothers. Dammit. They were just like the chip trio. When Li Hao was in the virtual area, he tried all kinds of mechs. For him, apart from a few that were interesting, the rest were pretty much the same. However, the usage rate of the Armored Series had been falling over the years. Kailong was just barely popular, but Kahu and Kaibao were practically unused and neglected.

(Tang Kai is really awesome, such a domineering lad, overwhelming with details, great fight!)
