Chapter 10, Genius

If it were not for knowing that the person inside the mech was Fang Mingwei, if it were not for him personally bringing Fang Mingwei here, if it were not for him witnessing Fang Mingwei unsteadily standing up from the ground, he would absolutely not believe that this person had never touched the virtual mech in the globally popular SkyNet game before today

Well, alright

For some reason, at the moment when Schneider laid down his psychological burdens, Fang Mingwei also felt a sense of relief, yet he was utterly perplexed by his question

However, seeing Schneider's serious expression, Fang Mingwei thought for a moment and confirmed that he had never raised a child, thus shaking his head in denial

The gaze shifted to the steel giant before him, as if one could see Schneider's expression of extreme shock through the virtual armor

Turning around, with both hands extended and knees slightly bent, one jumps upward. The jumping power of the mech is quite strong, as each mech is equipped with a reaction force machine installed at the bottom of its feet. Otherwise, an object weighing over 60 tons would be unable to leave the ground.

A faint smile, wishing that the transition from friends to brothers would not happen so quickly, was completed in Schneider's words

Is it now

What does it matter to be a genius? Just let me be one for once

As for the other path, it is, of course, to continue allowing the sensor consciousness to control the mech. No matter how Schneider manipulates it, he only needs to watch from the sidelines until the sensor consciousness reaches its limit

I don't know, perhaps... it is running.

However, at the same time, there was also a slight sense of tension in his heart. Fortunately, he concealed it well; even Schneider did not detect any flaws.

Schneider turned off the video, feeling pleased. After a child learns to walk, do they run or jump? ... Who knows ...

If a person is narrow-minded, their heart is surely filled with resentment. However, fortunately, Schneider is not such a person; he quickly adjusted his emotions and did not allow anyone to perceive any impropriety.

Although it was not his original intention to come here, now that he has arrived and, under Schneider's encouragement, donned this set of armor, he can no longer have regrets

Although this will undoubtedly solidify the title of "genius," what if we do not take this approach

Unlike Schneider's astonishment, Fang Mingwei realized something was amiss the moment he jumped up

Fang Mingwei, who was beside him, had already extended his arms horizontally and bent down at the waist while he was speaking. When he mentioned the words "impossible," he had already leaped high off the ground.

The mech leaped to a height of about 1 meter, tracing a beautiful arc in the air before landing firmly several meters away. Schneider executed a standard beginner's practice move for mech jumping, and the effort he had put into this had not been in vain.

Upon seeing the other party shake their head and receiving the precise information, Schneider asked, "Do you know what children most want to do after they learn to walk?"

Fang Mingwei was suddenly presented with a video request. Upon connecting, he saw Schneider with a lewd expression asking, "Have you ever raised a child?"

The genius... manipulated the giant mechanical hand and heavily struck the shoulder of the training mech. Schneider sincerely exclaimed, "You are undoubtedly a genius"

I am only eighteen years old, how could I possibly have raised a child? Could it be that I misunderstood, and he was actually talking about a small animal?

"Is it normal? Oh, yes, very normal," Schneider said, looking up in confusion

At this moment, two paths lay before him

When a person who considers themselves a genius, and is acknowledged as such by the majority, suddenly encounters a genius who surpasses them by several times, it is inevitable that they will feel a sense of disappointment

Isn't walking a very normal thing to do

When he finished saying the words "impossible," the ten-meter-high mech had already landed steadily on the ground, the entire movement flowing as smoothly as a stream, pleasing to the eye. In Schneider's view, this simple jumping action was absolutely on par with the level he had achieved after ten years of hard practice with mechs.

However, perhaps due to the significant increase in mental strength, Fang Mingwei was still keenly aware of his momentary psychological change. Although he sensed the hint of desolation in the other party's voice, he did not feel any sense of triumph. This was because the mech was not being controlled by his consciousness.

"How is it? Have you seen clearly?" Schneider stood up straight and continued to nag, "During the first practice, you don't need to jump that high; just getting both feet off the ground is sufficient. To achieve a graceful posture like mine, it requires more than a year of practice... but... how on earth did you do it?"

Fang Mingwei felt a faint sense of self-satisfaction, for he was acutely aware that prior to today, he had been unable to gain the other party's recognition

"Jump? Are you sure?" Fang Mingwei asked in surprise

"No, it's not running, it's jumping," Schneider said proudly

Is he a genius? Fang Mingwei could only smile wryly

Yes, I am certain. So, now, we are going to conduct the jumping exercise

In any case, from now on, whenever I start this game, I will simply let the sensor consciousness control the mech

In fact, based on Fang Mingwei's usual observations, Schneider is quite an arrogant person, and his circle of friends is not extensive. Within the academy, the only ones who can be considered close associates are a few other renowned individuals who are also hailed as geniuses.

The first point is to personally take control of the mobile device. However, doing so would make not only jumping but even walking an enormous challenge. Such drastic fluctuations in performance are even more difficult to accept than the term "genius"; it is feared that this will not only invite disdain but also raise further doubts.

"Alright, buddy... oh, brother, I mean, you have qualified, yes, I assure you have learned to walk," Schneider said emphatically

Even if he had never been exposed to the advanced technology of mechas, he knew that his performance was too outstanding. He intended to perform poorly, but he sadly discovered that he was unable to communicate with the sensor consciousness at all. In other words, this device could only accept his simple commands, and it clearly did not understand the complex instruction of "camouflage".

What shall we do now

Fang Mingwei steeled himself and decided to let it go. Since he was already here, he would accept it and let things take their course, no longer worrying about it
