213. Conquer Her!
The teacher was clearly encountering this situation for the first time, but she was still quite willing to take everyone outside for a little testing.
After testing, not only was the charging time reduced by 30%, but the speed of the fired grenades also increased by about 10%!
Moreover, the weight was about 2 kilograms lighter than before.
It can be said that in every aspect, it completely surpasses the original SU-22 howitzer.
Of course, durability and stability have not yet been tested, so the teacher cannot make any definitive conclusions.
But based on its current performance, Yun Ling's work is undoubtedly a perfect score.
And he instantly gained a large number of female fans.
Although it's an Honkai world, it seems that those with good grades are slightly more popular at this stage.
Especially since Yun Ling is also quite handsome, and is the only male student in the school.
"Can I study it?" Bronya pursed her lips, asking somewhat shyly. Just moments ago, she was thinking of defeating them, and now she's trying to learn their techniques. However, for the sake of improvement, she suppressed her embarrassment.
"Of course." Yun Ling handed the modified SU-22 howitzer to Bronya.
A few minutes later, Bronya disassembled it again.
She completely understood the internal principles, and soon reassembled it.
"So... there's this method?" Bronya looked like she was learning something new.
Although this was a basic weapon, its unique assembly method was anything but basic.
At least Bronya had never imagined that something could be improved by reducing the number of parts.
"Did you study mechanical engineering before?" Bronya asked, her eyes questioning.
"A little," Yun Ling replied modestly.
Bronya felt Yun Ling was being pretentious, but she had no proof.
If this counts as a little knowledge, then what is she? A complete beginner?
But Bronya wasn't discouraged. Perhaps Yun Ling had previously researched how to modify SU-22 howitzers; such military weapons were quite common.
Bronya simply forgot that while this might be common in her homeland, Siberia, Yun Ling was born in Shenzhou.
The results of the first quiz were quickly in, with Yun Ling unsurprisingly in first place, and Bronya in second with 95 points.
In the next class, Yun Ling was temporarily separated from Bronya, as he was about to study medical aid.
While it might sound a bit impolite, Bronya had a feeling that Yun Ling intended to become a logistics soldier.
Weapon manufacturing... medical aid... and network security.
Aren't these all things a clerk does? Then all his training in the Taixu Sword Qi would have been for nothing!
Yun Ling's reason for choosing medical aid was simple: he wanted to find an opportunity to heal Himeko's body, which the artificial Stigmata had severely damaged.
Compared to Mechanical Engineering, the Medical Aid class had significantly more students.
After all, the former seemed more like blacksmithing, so, understandably, girls might be less receptive.
The first Medical Aid class didn't cover anything particularly special; it simply taught students how to handle some emergencies. Practical application would likely take some time.
However, Yun Ling wasn't in a hurry; he still had plenty of time.
Next was Cyber Security, where he reencountered Bronya.
"Two electives overlap? Did you secretly look at my choices and pick these two to get closer to me?" Yun Ling teased with a chuckle.
"It's daytime now. If you want to dream, wait until night," Bronya retorted without batting an eye.
"Isn't life just a dream? One blink and a day is gone. One blink and a lifetime is gone."
Yun Ling leaned back against the chair, looking completely at ease.
"Then keep dreaming." Bronya's hands were already flying across the keyboard.
"By the way, Bronya, you weren't some kind of spy or assassin before, were you?" Yun Ling asked.
Bronya's hands paused for a moment, then continued typing, without answering Yun Ling's question.
"Not only do you know weapons manufacturing, but you also have hacking skills. It's hard not to suspect your past profession."
"And you? Aren't you currently better than me at weapons manufacturing?" Bronya was still bothered by that class not long ago.
"Ahem, you might not believe it… But I have a secret." Yun Ling deliberately lowered his voice slightly.
Bronya's fingers finally stopped; she had successfully captured Yun Ling's attention.
Could it be that Yun Ling was also a reincarnated individual?
Yun Ling moved slightly closer to Bronya, a wisp of hair accidentally brushing against her small, delicate ear, his warm breath brushing against her cheek.
"If you want to say it, just say it. There's no need to get so close." Bronya moved slightly away; her relationship with Yun Ling wasn't close enough for them to whisper in each other's ears.
"Actually, I am…" Yun Ling deliberately dragged out his words.
"Gulp~" Bronya swallowed hard, inexplicably tense.
"A genius." Yun Ling slowly uttered two words.
"…You think you're funny?"
Bronya stared at Yun Ling with those deadpan eyes that seemed to be -273.15 degrees Celsius.
"Don't be so cold. Although I understand your desire to surpass me, to prevent you from being discouraged and giving up, I still need to talk to you."
Bronya's eyes widened slightly. How did Yun Ling know…?
"I've also studied a little bit of psychology. Your defiant little look has already given you away," Yun Ling explained.
"Bronya, can I take this as...you challenging Bronya?" Bronya tilted her head, a glint of fighting spirit in her eyes.
Empowered by her rebirth, Bronya had already lost to Yun Ling twice.
Once in a game, once in weapon crafting.
This was unacceptable to Bronya, who possessed a somewhat arrogant temperament.
"Don't get the order wrong, you're the challenger," Yun Ling said confidently.
"Hmph, Bronya will utterly crush you with her own strength!"
Bronya laughed at Yun Ling's arrogance. With her genius-level intellect and knowledge far beyond this era, she didn't believe she would lose to Yun Ling again and again.
"Then I'll wait and see," Yun Ling nodded.
Hmm, to win over Bronya, it seemed there were only two approaches.
One was to grow up with her, but clearly that wasn't feasible; Seele had already taken that position. So only the second option remains: defeat Bronya in her strongest area, and thus conquer her!
