After someone watched the recording, they discovered that even after performing so many combat maneuvers, the pilot of BS001 did not feel any fatigue.

The performance of the Blade Warrior had already attracted the attention of several generals!

But no one knew the origin of this Blade Warrior. He hadn’t had much contact with others in previous matches—he would disappear right after the fight, just like now. So even after becoming famous, people realized they didn’t really know him.

And the registered personal information definitely couldn’t be made public. Even the game company had no right to see it; all system management was handled by the main computer. This was a joint agreement between USE and NUF. Unless it involved major national security and was approved by special agencies, an investigation was only possible then, but the process was extremely complicated.

While people were enthusiastically discussing this mysterious Blade Warrior, our classmate David Thompson was hurrying to the hospital.

Amitabha, Allah, God, Devil, all the deities, please bless me. David Thompson felt something strange in his body—could this be a final burst of energy after being struck by a meteor? Or maybe he had burned up his potential and would die in a few days?

Nervous and uneasy, David Thompson rushed into the hospital. The doctors, understanding the situation of this lucky person struck by a meteor, gave him priority for examination.

After two busy hours, David Thompson came out holding a thick stack of test results. Looking up at the sky, he felt like he was dreaming. The doctors’ results were the same as those from Mark’s home: after a thorough examination, there was nothing abnormal with David Thompson’s body—no deterioration, and he hadn’t turned into a superman. But David Thompson knew he had definitely changed!

No matter what, this had to be a good thing, and he was getting closer to his dream!

Looking at the sky, David Thompson felt grateful for the first time and shouted, “Heavens, even though you sent a meteor to hit me, I’ll still kindly forgive you. Bless me, amen!”

This shout startled the people nearby. A girl quickly hugged her boyfriend, “Where did this lunatic come from? Why isn’t he locked up?”

“Xiaomei, he’s already pitiful enough. We should have some compassion.”

“True, poor kid. He’s actually pretty good-looking. So young and already crazy.”

David Thompson was very happy today, extremely happy, so even the harsh words sounded like praise!

We ordinary folks, today we’re really happy!

Mark didn’t come back the whole weekend. That guy was probably having too much fun to think of home. David Thompson didn’t log into Universe Battle again either. For him, the game was just a way to train, not because of the game’s allure itself—otherwise, no one could stand losing over and over.

The excitement soon passed. After letting his parents know he was safe, David Thompson resumed his regular training. Only now, the gravity was directly increased to four times normal. He knew he was getting closer and closer to becoming a true mobile warrior.

The campus felt a bit different. As soon as he stepped onto campus, David Thompson felt that almost everyone was talking about something. Not everyone liked Universe Battle, but it was so popular that even if you didn’t play, you couldn’t avoid knowing about it.

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder. Instinctively, David Thompson’s elbow jabbed into the other person’s chest. Thud...

Mark clutched his chest and exaggeratedly stepped back, “God, are you trying to kill me? That was so strong!”

David Thompson quickly grabbed the poor Mark. Luckily, he had held back in time, or else Mark would have really suffered. Actually, Mark’s body wasn’t skinny at all—it was quite fit. He had to maintain a perfect physique to attract girls, and he was quite proud of it. Even if his family went bankrupt, he could still make a living as a host.

“Damn, did you play Universe Battle yesterday? I heard a top expert suddenly appeared, using the Thomas Spin Kick to perfection, and even used the BS001 model. You could learn a thing or two from him.”

Sheesh, even Mark knew about it. But even so, Mark hadn’t connected it to David Thompson. The few times Mark watched, he didn’t pay attention to David Thompson’s score, and David Thompson hadn’t talked about it much. Mark knew David Thompson was strong, but he thought the expert who appeared the day before was on a whole different level.

“Heh, I can do that too!”

David Thompson smiled and said. Seeing how much attention this was getting, it was better not to say anything. After all, he just wanted to join the military, not become a celebrity. Besides, he knew that even though it was called a simulation, it was still just a simulation. He didn’t want to leave a bad record before joining the army or entering a military academy.

“Yeah, right. Don’t worry, don’t get discouraged. One day you’ll be able to do it too. That guy might be a new genius from NUP, or maybe one of the Big Dipper Seven. Who knows? It’s none of us ordinary folks’ business anyway.”

The Big Dipper Seven were the brightest stars of the younger generation among the Eventians, all with extraordinary abilities. Some even had astonishing backgrounds. After all, Eventian genetics were quite stable, and outstanding talents usually came from outstanding families. Of course, sometimes a super-genius mutation would appear, but the odds were a thousand times higher than among humans.

David Thompson had always longed for a real battlefield. Normally, he wasn’t very combative, but as soon as he entered the mobile warrior, he couldn’t suppress the surging fighting spirit inside. In Mark’s words, this was a case of hormones going haywire.
