Chapter 8: Gold Medal 567

Holy shit, holy shit, we've been in the same dorm for a year, and all I knew was that he was a Gold Medal 567 delivery guy for Colorful Pizza... No wonder, if I were the principal, I'd definitely transfer Li Hao from the Journalism Department to the Mecha Department too.

That's not right, though. Why would he sign up for the Journalism Department?

Zhou Naiyi understood now, and she guessed that the mistake Li Hao made must have been quite serious, to the point where Principal Long wanted to use him but was also a bit wary.

Everyone was letting their imaginations run wild, looking serious and full of doubt, but the person in question just shrugged indifferently, "What is everyone doing? You're acting like you're looking at a stranger. I was just lucky enough to be selected back then, and later I got into a fight with a Moon Person and caused some trouble. It's been a long time, they've long since forgotten me."

That was the most headache-inducing mission bleem ever gave him; he really didn't know what bleem wanted to do, actually making him take action within the Youth Class. Fortunately, he seized an opportunity that wasn't really an opportunity.

Li Hao spoke nonchalantly, but those listening couldn't relax no matter what. Back then, the Moon People took the lead, responsible for the venue and all the funding, and the Four Great Federations selected the most outstanding young people to gather together to execute an "Apocalypse" project. The specific content was unknown. At the time, the entire Solar System Alliance only selected five thousand-plus people, and only six hundred officially entered the Youth Class. Moreover, the elimination rate was extremely high, and even those who were eliminated were top-tier figures in their respective fields. At the very least, it showed that Li Hao was not only selected but also stayed.

Ma Long licked his lips, which were a bit dry, "What field were you selected for back then?"

"Seems like it was the starship and mecha track." Li Hao ate a bite of meat, secretly snatching a piece from Zuo Xiaotang.

This time, the people at the table were truly speechless; it meant that even if Li Hao closed his eyes, he couldn't possibly be at the bottom.

"Haha, everyone is here. This is perfect, I don't have to go looking for you." A hearty voice rang out, and a group of people stood beside Li Hao and the others before they knew it, "Naiyi, I want to talk to you."

Gao Yunfeng, Team Leader of the Tianjing representative team, is a fourth-year student in Mecha this year. Before the Solar System Mech Tournament, he was the undisputed golden boy; no matter which profession he chose in the future, his prospects were infinitely bright. But the poor overall results this time had a huge impact on him as well, so this year was a chance for a turnaround.

"Gao Yunfeng, if you have something to say, just say it directly." After the last tournament, Zhou Naiyi had quit. Her thinking was completely different from Gao Yunfeng's; those with different paths cannot make plans together.

Gao Yunfeng was slightly taken aback, his voice still very gentle, "Naiyi, the matter we need to discuss is very important; it concerns the future of Tianjing."

"Gao Yunfeng, it'd be good enough if you didn't ruin Tianjing's future. Look at the pathetic state of the S Tournament; you were all cowardly as dogs. If I were you, I would have dropped out long ago." Ma Long said bluntly. Gao Yunfeng was a romantic rival; he had also been pursuing Sheng Man at the beginning. The two were evenly matched at first, but later, after learning of Gao Yunfeng's history of womanizing, Sheng Man decisively chose Ma Long. Over the past year, Gao Yunfeng hadn't missed a chance to trip him up using his privileges as Student Council President.

For instance, his Photography Club—the previous members were all scattered by Gao Yunfeng, which forced him to bring in enough new recruits, otherwise, it would be disbanded due to a lack of members.

"Ma Long, is that any way to talk to a senior? You haven't learned your lesson from the last time you got beaten up, have you!" Zhao Zhihan mocked, his eyes still fixed on Ye Tong.

Ye Tong was just eating her food; as a newcomer, she didn't know about the grudges involved.

"Zhao Zhihan, if you want to fight, I'll keep you company!" Wuzang stood up and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Zhihan was a little intimidated; in the year since, "Little Steel Cannon" had already built a formidable reputation in the Mecha Department. This guy was ruthless, fierce, and reckless.

"Wuzang, this has nothing to do with you, stay out of it. Ma Long, if you're a man, come out and fight me one-on-one. I'll keep you company anytime." Zhao Zhihan shouted, his bark worse than his bite.

"One-on-one? Fight what? Looks? You'd need plastic surgery; even Genetic Adjustment couldn't save you!"

Gao Yunfeng also saw Ye Tong and stopped Zhao Zhihan, who was about to lose his temper. He knew this was the newcomer the principal was working hard to poach. He smiled slightly, "This must be junior Ye Tong, right? I hope you can join my team. Let's join hands to form the strongest Tianjing Team. Naiyi, there were some mistakes last time, and our arguments were just between teammates. I hope you can reconsider joining the team; we can definitely wash away the shame this year!"

Being a senior, Gao Yunfeng wouldn't be easily provoked, and if he wanted to break out of the USE and secure a spot, Ye Tong, Zhou Naiyi, and Wuzang were all very important forces.

After finishing a piece of beef and wiping her rosy lips, Ye Tong suddenly turned to look at Li Hao, "Li Hao, which one do you think I should join?"

…………

Gao Yunfeng and the others all looked at the transparent background. Li Hao?

Does Tianjing Mecha have someone like that?

"Junior, decide for yourself which one you want to join. If you want my opinion, the Class Monitor is better."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ye Tong said indifferently.

Gao Yunfeng frowned. Where did this guy pop out from, to be able to make Ye Tong follow his every word? "Junior Li Hao, you can join my team with Ye Tong. You should understand, this is a great honor, and it will be of great help to you after you graduate. As long as Ye Tong is willing to join, I can make an exception for you."

Before Li Hao could speak, Ma Long snorted with laughter, "A horse doesn't know how long its face is. Your embarrassing team is a 'great honor'? Do you know that Li Hao is a member of the Solar System Apocalypse Youth Class? An official member!"

Gao Yunfeng and the others were dumbfounded, and then Zhao Zhihan burst into laughter, "Him? Just him? If he's from the Apocalypse Youth Class, then I'm the Supreme Speaker of the Solar System Alliance! What kind of nonsense is this? Boss, stop wasting your breath on them; you've already done your best."

"He is indeed from the Apocalypse Youth Class, but you are not." Ye Tong said with her innocent big eyes, looking at them as if they were fools.

The cafeteria suddenly went quiet. The Apocalypse Youth Class—many of the strong individuals emerging in the Solar System now had this label. There was actually a BOSS in Tianjing Mecha?

What others said didn't have much persuasive power, but Ye Tong's status carried weight.

Gao Yunfeng took a deep look at Li Hao, "Let's go."

The group left in a hurry. It had to be said that the name of the Apocalypse Youth Class was simply too oppressive. Before investigating it clearly, even Gao Yunfeng didn't dare to act cocky.

"Big brothers and sisters, don't do this to me, okay? That's all ancient history. You're going to cause misunderstandings." Li Hao was helpless.

"Hao Ge, what's going on with you? How did a big shot from the Youth Class fall to this point?" Once they left, Ma Long asked in a low voice. This was what everyone was curious about.

"It's all ancient history. I got into a fight and got disciplined, so don't ask about it. I'm doing pretty well now. Class Monitor, I won't hold you back, but I really don't have much free time." Li Hao laughed.

Ye Tong kept looking at Li Hao. The inside story of that incident was sealed, and only a limited number of people knew about it, and she happened to know a little bit; counting it up, she could be considered a participant.

"Team Leader, leave Li Hao to me. Don't worry, I will make him return to his original position." Ye Tong volunteered, "Please take care of me from now on."

Li Hao nodded. Ye Tong... that surname wasn't among them back then. After all, it was quite unique, and she was from the USE, so it made no sense that he wouldn't know her. Strange.

Over one meal, Tianjing Mecha broke a piece of news that was neither small nor large. A big shot from the Apocalypse Youth Class was hidden in the academy, but they had fallen. After all, the Apocalypse Youth Class was a long time ago, and cases of "wasted talent" weren't rare. If they were truly awesome, they would have soared long ago.

Excitement aside, it was the start of the semester, and Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong both had a lot to do. Wuzang had to train; his daily training could not be interrupted by anything. Ma Long and Sheng Man were like newlyweds after a short separation, so naturally, there were many indescribable things to do.

Li Hao was also very busy.

"Li Hao, two seafood pizzas for District 96, five Orleans chicken leg pizzas. Hurry up, you're our ace."

"Got it, Boss. Mission accomplished, Gold Medal 567, leaving immediately!"

By now, Li Hao was fully dressed, packing the pizzas as they came out of the oven with great proficiency. He put on his helmet, and at the door was a second-hand, somewhat mottled electric motorcycle.

"Boss, when can we get a better one?" This delivery bike was really too old, and it would lose power from time to time.

"When you become the boss, get lost." The bald boss waved his fork.

"Got it, Boss."

Li Hao went off to deliver the goods nimbly. He really hadn't lied to Zhou Naiyi; he was a busy working man.
