Chapter 520 - - Epoch-making Genius 3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Teacher, Kill One Every Ten Steps has published many other papers as well,” an assistant said. “If Sea Swallow’s concept is true, could the others be true too?”

“There are others?” Old Ghost was startled for a moment and then pulled over the virtual computer, browsing the papers that Duge had published.

At this time, he had logged off the battle network and no longer had review privileges.

But he couldn’t care less about that now. Senior designers had plenty of money, and his fingers clicked continuously as he bought all the papers with red eyes.

Old Ghost skipped over the beginner and intermediate mecha papers and directly opened the suggestions for Phantom’s modification, scanning ten lines at a glance. His breathing quickened in an instant, “Brilliant, why didn’t I think of this before, to approach it from this angle… Liu Lu, contact the mecha department right away, have them send over a Night Owl…”

The assistant named Liu Lu hesitated, “Master, your authority isn’t enough to request a Night Owl, and besides, Night Owls are costly to produce. Shouldn’t we first validate this on the battle network?”

“There won’t be any mistakes,” Old Ghost said, glancing at his assistant and speaking swiftly, “These few improvements were once proposed by Tang Houming, but at that time, there were several parameters that couldn’t be reconciled, so, unfortunately, the improvements were suspended. Back then, everyone believed that Night Owl couldn’t be enhanced further, but in this paper, he resolved these parameters through another method…”

“Is he really that amazing?” Liu Lu was stunned.

“Not only amazing, he’s simply a revolutionary genius,” Old Ghost glared at him fiercely, almost hysterically saying, “I damn well want to take him as my master. Hand me the communicator; I need to call the Principal. We must recruit such a talent to our university…”

“Master, people on the battle network have really trashed Kill One Every Ten Steps,” the assistant said uneasily. “Shouldn’t we clear his name first? Otherwise, if he can’t handle the backlash and leaves the network, it will be troublesome to find him then…”

“Clear his name, do it now. Immediately release a video, post all our experimental data,” Old Ghost said upon hearing this, becoming anxious. But soon, he dropped the communicator in his hand, “Don’t move, leave it, I’ll do it myself. I want to be the first to help him clear his name, to make a good impression on him.”

…

Ling Jiuxiao wasn’t much slower than Old Ghost.

Following the output of the experimental data of Windwalker, he too was astounded by the results.

Like Old Ghost, he immediately realized a genius had emerged in the mecha design industry and quickly reviewed all of Duge’s papers.

Although he didn’t understand some mecha designs, he had been involved in designing Windwalker and instantly recognized that the improvements Duge suggested were flawless.

He didn’t rush to clear Duge’s name like Old Ghost but instead made a call to the CEO of his company, explaining the situation with urgency and insisting that the company must recruit Kill One Every Ten Steps at any cost.

…

“Shock, an unprecedented initiative, Sea Swallow mecha performance improved by 20%, Kill One Every Ten Steps is a true genius”

“Decade-long problem solved, Night Owl’s performance may significantly improve”

“A revolutionary genius—Kill One Every Ten Steps emerges, mecha performance could see a major leap forward because of him”

“Linhai University needs you, Kill One Every Ten Steps, please come and teach at Linhai University”

…

Old Ghost disliked the Shock Genre, but to clear Duge’s name, he didn’t hesitate to stake his own reputation and also resorted to using the Shock Genre.

Apart from him, many other well-known designers from the battle network came forward one after another to verify the correctness of Duge’s papers.

Among them were extraordinary mecha designers who had been involved in the research of high-level mechas like Night Owl, Windwalker, Phantom, etc…

When these famous designers collectively stood up for Duge, everyone on the battle network was dumbfounded.

A single person could lie against their conscience, but it was impossible for all designers to discard their reputations and collectively lie to support Kill One Every Ten Steps.

Especially since universities and the military were extending olive branches to Duge through the battle network, offering various enviable benefits.

Everything proved that Kill One Every Ten Steps was indeed a genius in mecha design. He was not the clown; those who mocked him were the real clowns.

…

“How could this be possible?”

“Who in the world is this guy who is not only an expert in mecha combat but also in mecha design? Does true genius really exist in this world?”

“How can he be so incredibly calm? Such great fame, and yet he hasn’t disclosed his name up until now!”

“The most critical point is that he published these papers so nonchalantly, any one of which could earn him the position of a university president!”

“At the very least, he could get a spot as an academician.”

“Kill One Every Ten Steps, please forgive my ignorance; I actually suggested earlier that the papers you published were for scamming money. I’m going to subscribe to all your papers right away, even if I don’t understand them. Just out of admiration for your integrity, I’m convinced.”

“An ordinary person cannot have access to so many types of mecha; Kill One Every Ten Steps has such deep research on such a wide variety of mecha. Maybe he’s a big shot from the military, playing around with us with a secondary account.”

“It’s also possible that he’s a super-rich second generation, and these mechas are just his playthings.”

“Whatever his identity is, as long as he can improve mecha, he’s my god. The emergence of the god Kill One Every Ten Steps gives me hope in our fight against the Xil civilization.”

“I need to confess to the god Kill One Every Ten Steps!”

…

After being woken up by a series of phone calls, Tang Houming from Imperial University, looked at the papers published by Duge and felt like he was going to lose his mind.

Others may not know who Kill One Every Ten Steps is, but doesn’t he know?

He finally understood why Duge had specifically asked him for a mecha training field.

But was this guy giving too little consideration to Imperial University?

Why disclose these papers publicly?

Why couldn’t he publish them under the name of Imperial University?

With these papers, Imperial University’s ranking on Green Star could have at least made it to the top three!

All this could have been his achievement!

Even if you are not from Green Star, you still took over the body of one of Imperial University’s students, didn’t you? Old Tang was also the go-between who connected you to the President!

I also gave you tremendous support, didn’t I?

Is this how you repay me?

Shaking, Tang Houming dialed Duge’s number, his voice hoarse, “Lin Hong, come over. I need to discuss something with you.”

“Principal Tang, if you want me to reveal my identity, there’s no need to talk,” Duge laughed, “You know my identity is special. Once it’s exposed, those players would come killing, and that would only harm Imperial University, with no benefit to it.”

“…” Tang Houming, reminded of the terrifying players, took a deep breath and said with difficulty, “I can ask the President to assign troops to protect Imperial University. As long as you are willing to show yourself, Imperial University will certainly become the most popular university on Green Star…”

“No, the military can’t stop the players,” Duge said, “Principal Tang, with the technology I’ve provided, Green Star’s mecha will have taken a big step forward. That’s good enough, isn’t it?

Principal Tang, I will eventually leave Green Star. Before I go, I just want to live a quiet life and silently make some contributions to Green Star within my power. That’s enough.

Fame means nothing to me; it’s rather a burden. Principal Tang, please grant me this wish, will you?”
