A year ago, Tian Qi had already become a Tier-2 Mecha Warrior in the Federation and was granted the right to pilot a Conventional Level Standard-type Mecha. Even so, he remains a Tier-2 Mecha Warrior to this day.
Over this past year, he has participated in dozens of battles, large and small, yet has only earned four gold stars.
When compared to his original dreams, this is like the difference between heaven and earth.
Before becoming a Mecha Warrior, he longed to be one, dreaming of earning gold star after gold star in battles against the Empire's mechas, just like Su Chuanyun.
With ten gold stars, he could become a Tier-1 Mecha Warrior. With twenty gold stars, he could become a Special Level Mecha Warrior.
Then, he would apply to join the Independent Group. With the strength of a Special Level Mecha Warrior, surely the Independent Group would accept him, right?
