The group stage is coming to an end, and the match between Xinghai Academy and Yuanshan Military Academy will happen soon.

Yuanshan Military Academy has lost two games in a row. They were full of momentum at the beginning, but have lost their fighting spirit now, because even if they win Xinghai Academy, they will not be able to qualify.

In contrast, Xinghai Academy, who no one was optimistic about at the start, has now become the dark horse many people talked about.

Everyone was amazed at the performance of Xinghai Academy, which can be seen from the “gambling” posts in the major forums.

When Xinghai played Jicot, the odds of betting on Xinghai winning are very high, which means that there are very few people who bet on them to win.

When Xinghai played St. Clito, Xinghai is still the side with high odds, but the situation has improved.

In the last game of the group stage, Xinghai’s odds were lower than their opponent’s for the first time, and even 70% of those who bet on Xinghai to win.

For this game, the Xinghai school team did not slack off, because every game is an opportunity to exercise.

Richard adjusted the team arrangement again. Yun Xingze was still in the solo game, indicating that Richard recognized his performance.

Not only Richard, but the members of the Xinghai school team were also curious about Yun Xingze’s progress, and many people came to him for advice.

Although Yun Xingze was very busy recently, he will help them answer some questions when he has time, including questions about PK skills and mecha modification.

With Yun Xingze’s help, the members of the Xinghai school team all made breakthroughs to varying degrees, except for Chi Yu.

Because Yun Xingze never paid attention to Chi Yu.

In this regard, Chi Yu was very annoyed in his heart, but instead of losing his temper as usual, he tried his best to endure it.

He knew that Yun Xingze would be with him soon.

Under the spotlight, the match between Xinghai Academy versus Yuanshan Military Academy kicked off.

Most of the audience of this game came to see Xinghai. During this time, Xinghai became famous, and the number of “fans” also rose. Many people even made banners supporting them.

This treatment is even better than that of Noah and Fanyun.

Yun Xingze’s mental strength has increased again, reaching more than 90% of A-level, and his overall strength has broken through A+. He can be said to be the fastest growing player in the NCLM.

On the Star Network platform, the live broadcast ratings of his game were also far ahead of other games.

During the live broadcast, the commentator seemed a little excited and kept praising Xinghai Academy: “Xinghai is in a good mood today, and Ke Lei won his first victory directly! Great!”

“Wow, Xinghai’s first team match went perfectly. Although Kaleb is a new face, his skills and mentality are very mature!”

“Today’s match point player turned out to be Yun Xingze again. It can be seen that Richard trusts him very much. This omega player is a legendary character this season. He has never lost a game since the campus competition…”

“Yun Xingze won the game with his godly cat from the sky! Although there are still two games, we can already congratulate Xinghai Academy in advance for qualifying passed the group stage!”

Under various blessings, Xinghai Academy won three consecutive games and got four points directly.

After Yun Xingze won the game, the cheers and applause from the audience almost overturned the arena.

Although the competition stipulates that the next competition must be completed before determining qualifying parties, the campus forum of Xinghai Academy has already exploded, and almost every section was filled with the words, “Xinghai qualified”.

It didn’t take long for the name Xinghai Academy to appear on the hot searches on various platforms across the interstellar.

Yuanshan Military Academy did not expect to lose so badly, and their coach’s face was very ugly.

However, when the players of the Yuanshan school team remembered that the other two strong schools were also defeated by Xinghai, they suddenly felt less sad.

Perhaps because Yuanshan Military Academy lost the confidence to resist, Xinghai also won the next two games.

The final round of the group stage can be described as a successful conclusion.

Of course, the dazzling performance of Xinghai Academy made some people happy, and naturally made others worry.

Among them are the two seed players of this competition – Noah Military Academy and Fanyun Military Academy.

The two military academies have been fighting for No. 1 in the past few years, and they naturally do not want to see the rise of other dark horses.

Therefore, after the victory of Xinghai Academy, the coaches from Noah and Fanyun remotely communicated with each other to discuss countermeasures.

“Although we are old rivals, since there are other strong schools, of course we have to join forces.” Noah’s coach raised his lips and said with a smile. “What do you think?”

Fanyun’s coach nodded and slowly said: “That’s my intent too. I hope we can share information in the next game.”

The members of the Xinghai school team didn’t know yet, but two old fox-like coaches had already been eyeing them.

In order to celebrate qualifying from the group stage, the headmaster of Xinghai Academy directly sent Richard a personal remittance and asked him to ask the school team members to have a good meal.

Everyone was immersed in joy, but Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan did not have any real smiles on their faces.

The end of the group stage meant that both of them had to return to the Imperial City to complete what they had to do.

For the next two days, Yun Xingze asked Richard for special leave to accelerate the research on neural connectors at the Imperial Mecha Research Institute.

The researchers at the institute were currently facing a difficult problem.

Although they successfully developed the first generation amplifier with Yun Xingze’s help, the amplification factor has been consistently low.

No matter what material Jin Xuan and them tried, the amplification factor was lower than expected. The highest was 1.53, which seemed to be a bottleneck.

In order to break through the bottleneck, Jin Xuan pulled Yun Xingze to do several experiments.

Thankfully Yun Xingze mental control is strong. Other people would not be able to tolerate the continued testing.

In contrast, Yun Xingze’s own private experiment went very smoothly.

After he built a model of the new neural connector on the optical brain, he decided to make one and try it out.

So, Yun Xingze asked Eugene to help him find some seemingly ordinary materials. After some welding ad integrating them together, he completed a black box neural connector.

The black box type connector means that outsiders cannot know the technology used to create it. Only Yun Xingze knew.

This is Yun Xingze’s personal habit. When he was a mecha master in his last life, he was tricked once – someone stole his technology and claimed it as his own. Although Yun Xingze later came up with more advanced technology to slap the other party on the face, since then, every time he developed a new technology, he would turn it into a black box.

After the connector was done, Eugene didn’t take it seriously because it looked so weird.

He felt that this boxy thing didn’t look like a serious neural connector in any way, except that the connecting link looked like part of the connector.

Therefore, Eugene didn’t care about the experiments that Yun Xingze did next, and went to Jin Xuan’s laboratory to help.

After Eugene left, Yun Xingze’s neural connector experiment was completed very smoothly. During testing, the measured amplification factor reached 2.61.

He originally wanted to do a test with a goal of 2.1 first, and he did not expect that the amplification factor of his first experiment would be higher than expected.

This also showed that Yun Xingze did not forget the knowledge reserve from his previous life.

After completing the test, Yun Xingze threw the black box connector into the cabinet and went to Jin Xuan to ask for leave.

“Ask for leave?” Jin Xuan was a little surprised. “Are you going to return to the Imperial Capital Star in the next few days?”

Yun Xingze nodded: “There are a few things to deal with at home.”

“Okay, you can go,” Jin Xuan agreed immediately. “Actually, I’ve been embarrassing you for the past few days, and made you do so many experiments… In the next few days, you can rest well.”

Yun Xingze added: “Okay, if you need anything, you can call me.”

After speaking, Yun Xingze left the laboratory.

After Yun Xingze left.

Ming Xiao sighed and said with some disappointment: “Our experiment seems to be getting more and more hopeless. When will we be able to break through the value of 1.5? Professor Jin Xuan, you shouldn’t let Yun Xingze go back, our experiment must be done quickly. It’s time.”

“Let him rest for a few days.” Jin Xuan heard the words and sighed. “There is a problem on our hardware side. Even if we make Xiao Yun do more experiments, the data obtained will still be the same.”

Someone frowned and said, “Could it be that Yun Xingze’s mental power is not high enough, so it affects the amplification factor?”

Jin Xuan was slightly startled, and then said: “This is unlikely, though I have not considered this issue.”

In the past few days, no one could complete the experiment successfully and felt restless. Every time they saw that Yun Xingze’s mental power could only be amplified 1.5 times, it was inevitable that some people would think that it was Yun Xingze’s problem.

“But there’s nothing we can do. No one can help us with the experiment except him.” Someone added. “I hope his mental power will rise to S sooner, maybe it will be better.”

Jin Xuan looked at the blueprint on the brain, deep in thought.

She always felt that as long as she broke through another key point, the mental power amplification factor could be improved…

But what point is it?

At this moment, the cleaner who came in to clean up said to everyone, “Let’s rest first, I’ll clean up the garbage.”

This cleaner has worked in the scientific research institute for a long time, and usually helps to clean Yun Xingze’s laboratory.

The scientific research institute will not hand this work to the robot, because there are precious materials everywhere in the laboratory. If the robot malfunctions or is poisoned, the consequences will be disastrous.

While the cleaner was cleaning, a few scraps of paper fell out of his trolley.

Jin Xuan politely took the initiative to bend over, helped pick up the pieces of paper, and handed them to the cleaner: “Thank you for your hard work.

The cleaner liked a polite professor like Jin Xuan, and smiled apologetically: “I’m sorry.”

Just as the cleaners grabbed the scraps of paper, Jin Xuan’s eyes suddenly widened.

Her eyes stayed on the waste paper. One of the inflection points of the connection link was designed in a form she had never seen before, which could obviously improve the efficiency of mental power transmission.

What’s even more amazing is that this inflection point is also the intersection of two bonds.

“If the spiritual forces can meet at the intersection, and the potential energy difference of the inflection point can be used, they can obtain huge energy at the same time at the moment of merging…”

Jin Xuan subconsciously began to analyze the content on the waste paper, and the voice caused everyone attention.

“That will allow the mental power to be amplified once before entering the amplifier, and it will not affect the startup efficiency!” Eugene’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said the benefits of this design.

Afterwards, Eugene looked at Jin Xuan admiringly: “Professor Jin Xuan, the design you proposed will definitely increase the coefficient of mental power amplification! Why didn’t I think of it?!”

Ming Xiao and others also They all showed expressions of joy.

“Professor Jin Xuan, you are amazing!”

“My God, this design is too bold, but I thought about it…it’s feasible!”

“Professor Jin Xuan, let’s try it…”

Jin Xuan was stunned and stared blankly at the crowd.

She only deduced this method based on the design drawings, plus some data and handwriting on the paper. After hearing what everyone said, she realized that it was a genius idea!

“No, this is not what I came up with…” Facing the excited crowd, Jin Xuan dazedly explained, “This, this is what was written on this piece of paper…”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

In this laboratory, there are other big person who study spiritual power other than Jin Xuan?!

Before Jin Xuan’s words were finished, the cleaner reached out and took the waste paper in her hand: “Professor Jin Xuan, did you read it wrong? These are all waste manuscripts…”

“Waste… waste manuscripts?!” Ming Xiao eyes bulged out like copper bells. “Where are the finished drafts?!”

Jin Xuan also grabbed the scraps of paper with excitement and asked the cleaner: “Can you tell me, these designs… um, these scraps, are they? Who drew it?!”

At this moment, Eugene’s eyes fell on the waste paper.

He always felt that the materials of these pieces of paper were familiar…

The cleaner waved his hand and said, “It was drawn by the military cadet named Yun Xingze. I also asked him if these papers should be thrown away, and he said…”

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, the cleaner continued:

“He writes and draws on the paper just to help him remember his previous knowledge. As for the content on the paper… it’s too backward and useless.”
