To quickly determine the victor, the only way is to seize the "World Origin" of the sci-fi world.
However, such a crucial element is undoubtedly hidden deep and won't be easily found.
Therefore, one must infiltrate the sci-fi world to have a chance.
The fastest way to infiltrate is to contract a high-ranking official or important figure within the sci-fi world.
Just as Fang Xian was pondering this, a pink supercar pulled up beside him.
The car window rolled down, and a plump, middle-aged woman sized Fang Xian up and down, a satisfied look on her face.
"Young man, want to skip decades of hard work?"
Fang Xian felt nauseous at her appearance.
He couldn't stomach this kind of freeloading.
He didn't want to pay attention to the rich woman and was about to leave when her mocking voice rang out.
"Young man, you're already over 20, and you don't even have a mecha. Haven't you considered taking a shortcut?"
Fang Xian was somewhat surprised. How did the rich woman know he didn't have a mecha?
He turned to the wealthy woman and immediately unleashed "Trick: Mind Interference."
From her, he learned that in the sci-fi world, just like in the Great Thousand World, awakening occurred at age 20.
Mechs were stored in "Mech Rings," which everyone wore at all times for self-defense in case of emergencies.
Fang Xian didn't have a "Mech Ring," clearly indicating he was a penniless, useless awakened individual.
No talent, no background, but handsome—naturally, he was favored by these wealthy women.
After figuring everything out, he directly altered the wealthy woman's memories.
In her memory, Fang Xian was now her distant cousin, seeking refuge with her, and she wanted to give him a mech as a gift.
The reason she didn't outright rob him was because she was about to attend a banquet, where high-ranking officials from the sci-fi world would be present.
The "Trick: Mind Interference" effect ended, and the wealthy woman returned to normal.
Her expression towards Fang Xian was no longer frivolous; instead, she wore the stern look of an older sister.
"Little Fang, even though you awakened trash, as long as you work diligently for me, your cousin won't treat you unfairly."
"Hey, this is a mecha I bought before, I'm giving it to you now."
"Don't disappoint your cousin, okay?"
Fang Xian smiled, took the "Mecha Ring," and nodded.
"Okay, cousin, I'll try my best."
"But cousin, how do I use this?"
The rich woman was speechless, but considering Fang Xian's family background, she didn't pursue the matter further.
"Put on the 'Mecha Ring,' inject your mental energy into it, silently recite the mecha's name, and tell it to activate."
"Okay."
Fang Xian followed the rich woman's instructions, found the mecha's name on the "Mecha Ring," and then injected his mental energy to silently recite it.
The "Mecha Ring" emitted a warm, comforting energy, quickly transforming into a metallic mecha.
It enveloped Fang Xian in a smooth, natural motion, its mechanical joints perfectly conforming to his body's curves, every detail showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and power.
A dull, mechanical voice immediately emanated from the helmet:
[Welcome to the basic mecha.]
[Checking user's body fit...]
[Data perfect, fit 100%.]
The wealthy woman nodded with satisfaction, watching Fang Xian's first use of the mecha cover his entire body.
There's a compatibility level between the user and the mecha; the higher the compatibility, the more powerful the mecha can be.
Conversely, a low compatibility might prevent even the mecha from covering the entire body.
"Fang, what's your compatibility level?"
Normally, Fang Xian wouldn't reveal his 100% compatibility level to avoid trouble.
But now it's different; time is limited, and he needs to show his strength.
He needs to demonstrate 100% compatibility so he can get the rich woman's help later.
"My compatibility level is 100%."
"100%?"
The rich woman was somewhat surprised, staring at Fang Xian with astonishment.
"Really 100%?"
"Yes, 100%."
Upon receiving Fang Xian's answer, the rich woman began to take him more seriously.
Although the mecha she gave Fang Xian was only a "basic mecha," most people could only achieve 98% compatibility; very few could reach 100%.
Those who achieve 100% compatibility are, without exception, geniuses among geniuses.
Since Fang Xian has 100% compatibility with "basic-level mechs," he has a very high chance of wearing "intermediate-level mechs," or even "advanced-level mechs."
As for "god-level mechs," she dared not even think about it.
In this light, even if Fang Xian didn't awaken as a "mech pilot," his compatibility with mechs is exceptionally high, making it entirely possible for him to pursue the path of a "mech pilot."
And the heights he can reach in the future will definitely not be low, which is also a good thing for her.
The wealthy woman smiled like an aunt and waved to Fang Xian.
"Little Fang, get in the car quickly, I'll take you to a good place."
"Okay, cousin."
Fang Xian deactivated his mech, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
The wealthy woman activated autopilot, the supercar roared, and sped off.
"Xiao Fang, I'm taking you somewhere later, so you'd better do your best."
Fang Xian feigned nervousness and asked curiously.
"Cousin, where are we going?"
"To a banquet, and I'll take you to meet her, to see if you can become her disciple."
"Oh...who is she? What should I be careful about?"
"You just need to cooperate with her during her tests. As for her name, you should have heard of her—the famous
—Xu Xin."
Fang Xian already knew this name, but he still had to play along, feigning surprise and delight.
"Is that Xu Xin, the youngest genius mecha designer who designed so many 'god-level mechas'?"
"Yes, that's her. I hope your performance won't disappoint her."
"Thank you for the opportunity, cousin. I will definitely work hard."
"Well, then you must do your best. Don't forget your cousin then."
"I will never forget your kindness, cousin."
"With your words, I can rest assured."
After saying this, Fang Xian asked a question.
"Cousin, what are your thoughts on the 'extraterrestrial war'?"
"Don't worry, it's just a small, low-level world. It won't pose any threat to us."
"Hehe, that's true."
This answer didn't surprise Fang Xian; most people in the Science and Martial World shared this view.
After all, a "mid-level world" has a certain advantage when fighting a "low-level world."
So along the way, he didn't see a trace of sorrow on anyone's face; they all seemed to disregard the vast world.
Unbeknownst to them, in this weak, rudimentary world, someone
—was using a cheat code.
And this cheater had already quietly infiltrated the science and martial arts world and was on his way to the banquet of the genius designer Xu Xin.
