This novel draws inspiration from space warfare and mecha, with a hot-blooded interstellar apocalypse setting.
Li Yi of Xi'an Military Academy is the school’s notorious “bottom of the class.” His mecha compatibility rate has been stuck at 27% for years, less than half the passing mark. His classmates mock him for “taking up a spot he doesn’t deserve,” while his professors look at him like “cannon fodder for the front lines.” But nobody knows that this good-for-nothing, whose synchronization rate can’t even reach 50%, has a secret hidden in his spine, one that even the New Humans covet.
During a New Human mecha raid, a shock wave shattered his spine. He should have been paralyzed for the rest of his life, but in a dream he met the mechanical Sun Wukong. When he woke, he could not only walk again, but his nerves seemed to have been remodeled. During a simulation test, the mecha he controlled suddenly broke through its latency limit. He rewrote the server code on the spot, turning a screen full of enemy mecha into targets that attacked each other, and scored the school’s first perfect 300.
When three New Human warships bore down on Earth and their force-field emitters locked down the planet’s defenses, everyone thought all was lost. Li Yi dragged Yang Wei and Mila into the hangar and activated the fluorescent pendant his father had left behind. It was the key to the battle armor of the Ojin Empire, and the nanoparticles in his spine were awakening the Divine Monkey Armor, dormant for ten thousand years. This time, he would no longer be a good-for-nothing who held everyone back. He would let the New Humans learn what it felt like to have their warships smashed by an “incompetent” wielding an ancient divine armor!
