No matter how much Luo XiaoLou denied his 'beast' bloodline, his hand speed was improving at a bizarre rate.

The Mecha Department students were all shocked when they discovered an additional perfect score record — even the Mecha Department teachers started looking for the mecha genius, the one called 'Chushi'!

The Mecha Department students and teachers alike gritted their teeth and searched for other records of 'Chushi' in the Mecha Department training room, but Luo XiaoLou never showed up after Yuan Xi told him it was a perfect score.

When Luo XiaoLou was told by Yuan Xi that it was a perfect record, 125 had yet to help him again for his Source of Consciousness exercise. He waited to start another exercise after the 90th percentile.

So, the Mecha Department students and teachers could only judge that 'Chushi' was an outstanding student, if not a genius — and a rather low-profile one at that.

Luo XiaoLou was not at all aware of the sensation he had caused. He was just surprised to find that his speed in assembling Grade 1 parts was at least a third faster than when he was in the machining shop! The previously stagnant hand speed, as if breaking through a bottleneck, slowly but steadily grew as the number of practice sessions and time increased.

Now, Luo XiaoLou went to his guest room that was converted into a lab every night to practice assembling Grade 1 mecha parts. However, every four or five days, Luo XiaoLou would still bring a summary of his learning experience to Teacher Song, and he would write down any questions he didn't understand in detail.

Since Luo XiaoLou was now learning the Grade 1 mecha parts on his own at a faster pace than he did in class, Teacher Song supported Luo XiaoLou and would usually wait for him to finish his questions before he left. He would take Luo XiaoLou's learning experiences back to the classroom to mark things that needed attention.

For Teacher Song, having such a diligent and hardworking student like Luo XiaoLou was a great relief, but when he saw how fast Luo XiaoLou was learning, he felt worried.

Although Teacher Song didn't know Luo XiaoLou's real identity, from their daily interactions, Teacher Song could tell that Luo XiaoLou's family was in an average situation, not even up to the standard of living of an average Federation citizen — because Luo XiaoLou had told him that he didn't have any financial resources since school started.

He hoped that Luo XiaoLou would be able to get guidance from a famous teacher and go further on the path of mecha making. However, for students from modest backgrounds, the chances of getting the attention of a master teacher were very slim.

While mecha makers were common, and didn't require a high genetic rank, it was hard to get results, and that involved spending a lot of money on mecha parts.

He had a good relationship with a few mid-rank mecha makers because of his department, and he only knew senior mecha makers from his own teacher, not to mention masters. He had never interacted with any of them. Besides, who would notice a student in school if they didn't produce certain results?

Teacher Song pondered, screening for a mentor to guide Luo XiaoLou after graduation.

Teacher Song's plan for Luo XiaoLou was so far ahead of his expectations.

Luo XiaoLou, meanwhile, left the site after asking questions, and was now sitting cross-legged on his bed in the master bedroom. Pitiful SSS-Rank, the opponent he was competing against was really pitiful.
