In the second episode of "The Old Man and the Star Ocean", Ji Xinghe was merely a three-star Mech warrior who had just earned his three golden stars.
It was the first time Ji Xinghe was sent on an armor-piercing mission, where he valiantly defeated three Imperial Mechas in the Three Six Canyon, greatly impressing countless people.
Huang Shisan joined the military out of admiration for this episode. He threw a fit in the recruitment center, ended up on an alien planet, and based on his own talents, he became a single-pilot starship operator at the age of twenty.
In the third episode of "The Old Man and the Star Ocean", Ji Xinghe faced the camera and told the audience: Don't firmly believe in Kung Fu. Spending decades training in martial arts isn't as productive as learning knowledge, and honing your Mecha piloting skills.
Many people believed him.
