Ning Shi withdrew from the race. He explored the game Speed is King again and found that in addition to the race, there was a training mode in the game.
In training mode, renting an intermediate mecha only costs 5 star field points per hour.
This was much less expensive than the competition, so Ning Shi directly entered training mode.
After two days of continuous training without sleep or food, Ning Shi’s mecha piloting skills had risen to Level 4.
He came to the competition once again and chose the Pterosaur Mecha. This time, he was no longer at the bottom and had obtained 16th place.
Ning Shi knew that he had basically mastered his mecha’s straight-line sprint technique. The reason why he was ranked 16th was that he had not bought any acceleration equipment, so his mecha’s performance was inferior in the first place.
It was because he was cultivating the Perfect Fusion Meditation Technique. His brain had no special characteristics yet. Most of the mecha masters in the competition had brain characteristics that increased their speed.
No matter how skilled he was, he would still be limited by the performance of the mecha and the meditation technique. Even if Ning Shi continued to train and improve his piloting skills, his ranking would probably only rise by one or two places at most. This was meaningless.
Therefore, Ning Shi decisively ended his straight sprint training and began to change maps. He chose the curve speed race and the obstacle speed race.
For the next four days, Ning Shi had been training his curve acceleration and high-speed dodging techniques in the game Speed is King. The results of the training were very great.
Four days later, Ning Shi’s mecha piloting skills had risen by two levels, reaching Level 6.
Ning Shi’s mecha piloting skills improved extremely quickly, surpassing the speed of ordinary people. The main reason was that his original body had the ability to transform. He had transformed into a 1,000-meter-tall war insect commander and a space beast many times. This kind of real experience was very helpful for piloting a large mecha.
In addition, Ning Shi had rich battle experience and his battle awareness had long been tempered to be extremely strong, so he dared to think and do anything when it came to mecha piloting.
Therefore, after only six days of simulation training, his mecha piloting skills had risen by three levels in a row, reaching Level 6.
On the seventh day, Ning Shi stopped training and walked out of the dormitory. Today, he was going to New Star City with Tong Baiming to participate in the selection of the Celestial Sect’s president.
After breakfast, Wei Yanping arranged an earth-level warship for Ning Shi. There were two intermediate mecha masters on the warship with mecha keys to protect Ning Shi.
Another week passed, and the positions of the three Vice Principals of the academy were all decided. They were all Ning Shi and Wei Yanping’s men. Now, within the internal structure of the Norse Republic Academy, Ning Shi had complete control over the situation.
There was not much noise in the academy anymore.
The cooperation agreement with Yuan City had also been approved by the school committee meeting with a high number of votes. The academy had already opened several new training classes for mechanical limb modification.
The 17 mercenary markets in Norse City had set up mechanical limb modification shops. Business was gradually taking off, and they were already preparing to open new shops in other cities.
Although the military supplies department protested and objected many times, Archon Morris did not favor any side this time. There was no rule that only the military supplies department could do the mercenary business. There was nothing wrong with the academy’s behavior.
The military supplies department could only do some small tricks in private, but they were not painful and had nothing to do with the overall situation.
Everything in the academy had entered a positive development.
Ning Shi and Tong Baiming boarded the huge and luxurious earth-level warship together. After the two of them sat down and fastened their seatbelts, Tong Baiming smiled and said, “Mr. Ning Shi, I’m not afraid you’ll laugh at me, but I’ve never sat on an earth-level warship before. This time, I’ve benefited from you.”
Although Tong Baiming was the leader of the group of immune people, the immune people did not have warships or mechas.
The relationship between the immune people and the radioactive people was cold, and they were abandoned by the higher-ups of the Norse Republic. It was normal that Tong Baiming had never been on a warship.
The reason why he said this was also to flatter Ning Shi.
After staying in the academy for a week, Tong Baiming realized how powerful the academy was.
As one of the three major forces within the Norse Republican Party, the Norse Republic Academy had 27 mechas, one heaven-level warship, nine earth-level warships, and 180 cruising warships. Just their direct military strength was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, the academy itself was involved in education. Students were spread all over the various departments of the government, so its potential influence was even greater.
As Ning Shi was the actual controller of the academy, Tong Baiming saw hope in him for the immune group to improve their status and build a new city, so he was very polite and humble.
“Mr. Tong, as long as we work together, the immune people will have their own warships in the future.” Ning Shi replied with a smile.
Ning Shi’s mentality was different from the privileged class of the Norse Republic. He believed that with the current situation of the origin planet, it should not be closed off. Instead, it should open up and integrate into the interstellar society again.
Only in this way could the origin planet obtain resources from the interstellar society and achieve its revival.
Therefore, whether it was the immune people or the radioactive people on the origin planet, in Ning Shi’s opinion, they were all targets that could be united.
The speed of the earth-level warship was very fast. In less than an hour, it had crossed 7,000 kilometers and arrived at New Star City.
Ning Shi looked down at New Star City from a height of several thousand meters. He found that the urban area of New Star City was in the shape of a nine-square grid. The nine districts were separated by rivers that ran through the city.
On both sides of the river, there were prosperous docks, neat shops, and lush green belts.
The entire city gave Ning Shi a feeling of cleanliness and tidiness.
The streets were spotless, the water in the river was extremely clear, and even the plants on the streets were not stained with dust..
