My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 488 - 482: [Haotian], Welcome to Guangyu Academy

Ma Ran looked at Su Qiangwei and said calmly, "The upper limit of the Superpower System is your upper limit."

"With Myriad Transformations in hand, your potential is limitless."

"Endure until the future, and no one will be stronger than you."

Ma Ran paused for a moment, swallowing the words "except for me" that almost slipped out.

Hearing this, Su Qiangwei instantly perked up and gave a mischievous smile, "That’s right!"

When Master Qiangwei becomes the strongest in the Cosmos, Ma Xiansheng will be allowed to be the only little follower by her side!

The contract is sealed!

But...

On second thought, why did those thrilling words sound a bit perfunctory when coming out of Ma Ran’s mouth?

Is it just an illusion?

"Since you have no questions, you should head back and rest a bit. We’ll set off after a short while."

As Ma Ran spoke, he grasped the girl’s forearm with his left hand.

"Wait! Are we teleporting again? Please no! Let go, I’ll go back myself! Men and women should not touch! I..."

Shwoosh!

The two figures vanished without a trace above the South Sea.

"..."

Fang Nuan looked up at the sky, feeling as if the sea water was about to soak him entirely: "Inner Spirit, is the Prophet so busy flirting that he’s forgotten about us?"

The childlike voice of Inner Spirit reverberated in his mind, "Others call him Prophet, and you call him Prophet? You should say Grandpa instead!"

Fang Nuan pursed his lips, "That’s enough, don’t push it! The Prophet is my idol! If you keep insulting him, I’ll perish with you!"

Although Fang Nuan was willing to be the Prophet’s grandson, he knew he was unworthy.

"Insult?"

Inner Spirit pondered for a long time before finally clarifying Fang Nuan’s intentions, "A humanoid exploding truck is not to be trifled with."

"Don’t overthink it; the rescue has already arrived."

Hearing this, Fang Nuan looked around but saw nothing.

Just as he was about to inquire, he faintly heard a sonic boom in the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, a stylish mecha with a streamlined design and sparkling golden paint suddenly appeared in front of Fang Nuan, from extreme speed to absolute stillness, as if frozen in mid-air.

The violent air currents stirred up by this mecha created towering waves, and the water surface was imprinted with a "dent."

"Pfft..."

Efforting to lift his head above water using Inner Qi, Fang Nuan spat out the salty sea water and looked with burning eyes at the golden mecha, speaking excitedly like a child seeing a long-awaited toy, "Woah... Whoa!"

"Genuine mecha!"

"Has the technology of our country really advanced to this level?"

All along, he thought that the "Father of Mecha" praised by Chinese netizens on the Earth Super Forum was nothing but a figment, an academic star promoted by the academic circle.

But facts speak louder than words.

In the face of this cool golden mecha, Fang Nuan instantly changed his stance.

He decided that once safe, he would go on the Earth Super Forum to apologize to those mecha enthusiasts.

"I’ve been abroad for so long that I have a hard time keeping up with the times..."

Reflecting inwardly, Fang Nuan stared intently at the golden mecha, noticing that the head of the mecha had two sharp horns, with its eyes appearing like blood-red diamonds, the eye shape exaggerated and extending to the "temples."

The overall design was a mixture of human and beast, revealing hints of dragon-like postures—fierce, domineering, and full of intimidation!

Observing closely, Fang Nuan discovered faintly that beneath the golden coating of the mecha, dragon scales were faintly visible, seemingly etched with tens of thousands of intricate lines.

The overall design style perfectly blends the contradictory terms "luxurious" and "low-key" together.

Inside the golden mecha, Eldest Prince Li Tang of Chuanke spoke in a standard broadcasting accent, Putonghua, "This mecha is named [Golden Dragon], known for having the fastest speed among the second-generation mechas."

"I’ve piloted it for the execution of an emergency mission and also for the final extreme testing."

"This mecha already has a designated mechanician."

"You have no chance."

Before Fang Nuan could display more emotion, Li Tang’s voice once again reached his ears.

"It seems you have the potential to become a top mechanician."

"I can make an exception and take you to the training camp, starting directly from the second stage."

"With outstanding performance, you might also acquire a mecha."

...

Meanwhile.

Beijing.

At the gate of Guangyu Academy.

A middle-aged man in a suit wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Compared to Zhiyuan Academy, this Guangyu Academy is not well-known at all..."

He looked up and down at the dilapidated buildings in front of him, muttering quietly, "Being the capital’s academy, where did their funds go?"

"If it weren’t for dual certification from both the Earth Super Forum and official channels, anyone not suspecting it of being a scam must have a brain problem, right?"

The middle-aged man’s name was Zhang Qianren, having lived a very ordinary life in the first half, with hard work, unpaid housing, and car loans, and substantial education expenses for his daughter, his life revolved entirely around earning money for his family.

Nine to five?

That’s just a dream!

Only a few lucky ones and some naïve young people still believe in the decency of capitalists.

Living a ’996’ lifestyle, with meager overtime pay, was Zhang Qianren’s daily routine.

Living is hard.

Living is difficult.

Life is incredibly challenging.

Exhausted at work, Zhang Qianren had already put all his energy and passions into it; even with the arrival of the Extraordinary Era, receiving a "Burning Martial" manual from the Super Bureau, after so long, he barely filled the first acupoint and couldn’t even reach the standard of the First Rank of Inner Qi.

Plugging numbers into formulas, assessing his own condition, deducing the acupoint positions; Nutritional supplementation, exercising, building strong Qi and blood, accumulating Inner Qi.

All of these require a massive investment of time and heart power.

Yet these are precisely what Zhang Qianren lacked the most.

He thought about quitting his job to focus solely on cultivation.

But such fantasies were immediately crushed by Zhang Qianren.

People can’t live without dreams, but they must also live in reality.

Real life is about rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, about crisp red banknotes, about the strings of digits in Alipay and WeChat.

Moreover, Zhang Qianren was not a participant in the Main God Game.

Believing himself to be merely average, he resolved to work hard, complete the overtime tasks given by his boss, earn as much as possible, and regularly buy supplements with Extraordinary Power, to aid his daughter’s cultivation.

It’s said that upon reaching a certain level of "Burning Martial" Realm, one could earn extra points for the college entrance exams, and quite a lot of points!

If...

If they’re lucky, there is even a chance for his daughter to enter an academy, forever relieving her from any study pressures, truly making a name for herself!

With such realizations, Zhang Qianren lived an even harder life.

Fortunately, his wife was very virtuous, their marriage strong; she always comforted him when he felt weary, helping him muster strength anew, facing challenges together.

But today...

Zhang Qianren’s destiny took a turn.

Indeterminate if it was luck or some other emotion at play, he took a half-day off and found this rundown place.

Coming to his senses, Zhang Qianren found himself stepping into the "Guangyu Academy," its interior resembling an abandoned building from the 1990s.

No unexpected discoveries, no sudden enlightenment.

The interior of the Academy was still shabby.

However, upon seeing the two receptionists at the front desk, his heartbeat instantly accelerated, his breath growing more rapid.

They were renowned personalities on the Earth Super Forum, with considerable international fame, two Extraordinary stars!

[Unity], Liu Huadie!

[Yukong], He Nanguang!

Weren’t these two supposed to be at Fulan Academy in Anhui?

How did they end up here in Beijing?

With his mind in a whirl, Zhang Qianren unexpectedly recalled a portion of "The Inscription of the Humble Room."

"A mountain is famous not by its height, but by the presence of an immortal!"

"Water is magical not by its depth, but by the presence of a dragon!"

The two Extraordinary stars merely glanced at Zhang Qianren without a word, yet a scholarly female voice directly sounded in the depths of his soul.

"[Haotian], welcome to Guangyu Academy."
