Lucy and the others were skeptical of the report, but there was no evidence to explain it, so after a few days, everyone put the matter behind them.

What they didn't know, however, was that on the night of this incident, the Martian Federation had sent troops to cordon off an area of millions of square kilometers west of the school. And the next day, the Martian Federation's secret research into the uncharted and surreal technology of the X Institute has moved into the heart of the area.

The new semester of the first year of Lucy, Kevin and other new students began as usual, and was not affected by this unexpected event. The school adheres to the principle of teaching according to talent and learning according to ability, and gives students full respect and freedom. The assessment implements a credit system, and students can freely choose the courses they study, and all courses can obtain a certain number of credits after passing the assessment. As long as students have earned the required number of credits in one academic year, they will be able to move on to the next grade.

On this day, Lucy invited Leia to dine in a school cafeteria, and the two wanted to discuss how to choose a course together.

The two of them clicked on the smart terminal to enter the school's course elective system and view the various courses for students to choose. As soon as they first started browsing, they were attracted to a course, and together they tacitly chose this course called "Mission Competition".

According to the course description, this course creates a parallel world for the participants. Students need to go through various dangers individually or in teams, pass many levels, and students who meet the goals set by the course within the specified time are considered to have passed. The first-place student will also receive a special award from the school.

Leia said excitedly, "I am interested in this course, I like the challenge. Lucy put her arm around Leia's shoulders and smiled sweetly, "Then I'll take this class with you, but you have to protect me." ”

The two were chatting enthusiastically when a group of male students walked into the cafeteria. The male student at the head was surrounded by everyone, strutting with his head held high, and he looked invincible.

When he passed by Lucy and Leia, he was attracted by these two temperamental beauties just by a casual glance. He heard that the two of them were about to choose the course of "Mission Competition", so he approached and said to Lucy and the others with a smile: "Do you know how difficult this course is, how can you two girls pass it?" Unless, of course... Let me protect you. ”

As soon as Lucy and the others looked up, they saw such a arrogant man staring at them with a smile, and they immediately felt disgusted. Leia flatly refused: "No need, you can do it." ”

The man grinned and said in an unkind tone: "Don't regret it, don't come to me when the time comes." After saying that, he led the people away.

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Lucy and Leia cast disdainful glances at him.

A waiter from the restaurant came up to Lucy and whispered, "I recognize that male student." His name was Lester, and he had heard that his father was the chairman of the Albot Corporation. ”。

Lucy and the others have all heard of this company because it is one of the three major oligarchs in the field of artificial intelligence in the world. The company integrates R&D, design, and manufacturing of artificial intelligence. Half of the world's humanoid AI comes from Albot.

Leia said disdainfully, "So what, you can bully people?" Lucy also chimed in: "That's it, this kind of person doesn't need to be bothered. ”
