Catnip Becomes a Beloved Pet in the Interstellar Era

Ning Miaomiao is catnip—the sentient kind. One blink of her eyes, and she finds herself transported to the interstellar era. Being transported to the interstellar era is one thing, but why is thi...

Chapter 2: The Unavoidable Daily Fright (Edited)

"Report! Sorry, I'm late!" Ning Miaomiao rushed to the classroom on the third floor at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, then pushed open the door with her eyes closed and shouted.

I originally thought that what was going to greet me was my natural enemy, Fear xN, but surprisingly, she didn't seem to feel much...

After hesitating for a while, Ning Miaomiao quietly opened her eyes and looked towards the classroom cautiously.

The classrooms in the First Military Academy are quite large, but the pharmacy department of the First Military Academy is not particularly famous. The pharmacy departments of comprehensive universities are better, so there are not many people in the first year of pharmacy, only about fifty or sixty people.

But these fifty or sixty people... it seems that the combined threat is not as great as that of the senior student who just sent her here?

While Ning Miaomiao was distracted, the white-bearded old man she had seen once before on the computer—Mandel, the teacher in this class—came over with an angry and serious face. "You're ten minutes late, and you'll be punished by copying the first three chapters of the Botanical Encyclopedia!"

After a pause, Mandel added: "Handwritten!"

"hiss!"

Ning Miaomiao clearly heard the student next to her gasp.

Handwriting is a big punishment for the orcs in the interstellar age. After all, everyone is used to using optical computers, and things like paper and pen are a waste of time in their eyes.

By connecting the optical brain to brain waves, an unknown amount of information can be recorded in one second. If you use paper and pen, how many words can you write in one second?

That's why the classmates were full of sympathy when they heard about this punishment.

But who is Ning Miaomiao?

It was only the beginning of the 2000s before she traveled through time, when paper and pen were still very popular. As a plant demon who liked quietness, one of her hobbies was practicing calligraphy.

Not to mention reaching the master level, but it was not difficult for her to write a few words - before she knew how thick the first three chapters of the plant encyclopedia were.

Besides, she was the one who was late first. Even though she didn't want to come to class, she still had to receive the punishment.

So under Teacher Mandel's gaze, Ning Miaomiao nodded obediently: "Okay, teacher."

Seeing Ning Miaomiao's good attitude in admitting her mistake, Teacher Mandel didn't embarrass her after all. He just pointed to the classroom and said, "Go sit down, study hard, attend class well, don't waste time, understand?"

Ning Miaomiao could feel that Teacher Mandel's earnest advice was for her own good. She felt a little guilty, so she behaved better: "Okay, teacher."

Although the combined threat of everyone in the classroom was not as high as that of the senior student's roommate, there was always some vague threat. Ning Miaomiao chose the seat with the least people - the center of the front row.

This is also the C position in learning, a position exclusively for good students.

Of course the original owner had very good grades in pharmacy, otherwise she would not have been able to be admitted to the First Military Academy. One of the interviewers before she entered the First Military Academy was Mandel. He had a good impression of this poor but hardworking student, so he called her when Ning Miaomiao did not come to class.

The center position is indeed the center position. During class, Teacher Mandel often glanced at Ning Miaomiao, confirming that she was listening carefully before nodding. Then, at the end of the get out of class, he assigned a task: "This homework is to plant the raw materials of the first-level medicine. I want to see the plants in five days."

"Team leader, come with me to get the seeds. Each person can take five seeds."

"At least two out of five seeds must survive, understand?"

After Teacher Mandel walked out slowly with the class monitor, hands behind his back, a wailing sound came from the classroom: "I'm only in the first grade, why do I have to start growing potion materials?"

"I've grown ornamental plants before, and shouldn't planting start in second grade? We haven't even fully identified all the ingredients for the potion yet!"

"Hey, Ning Miaomiao, what can you plant? Let's discuss it and try to choose plants that we are more familiar with?" a classmate shouted.

The other students raised their hands: "I think it's okay, but there's only one kind I'm familiar with, and that's Sky Star Grass."

"Me too……"

"What a coincidence, I also..."

"Haha, I can only hope there are more Sky Star Grass seeds."

The students in the classroom were worried and excited. They followed Teacher Mandel to the materials room and waited for the class monitor to get Teacher Mandel's signature, and then waited for the teacher in the materials room to help them get the seeds.

"Here, these are your seeds." The teacher in the materials room was an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle and listless.

"Thank you, teacher," the monitor respectfully accepted the small bag of mixed seeds. He thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Speak." The teacher still looked lazy.

The monitor scratched his head embarrassedly: "Is there a senior working part-time here? I want him to help me load the seeds."

"Whatever." The teacher didn't care. "You can yell it yourself."

So the squad leader really shouted.

The senior who could work part-time in the materials room was indeed mild-tempered. When he heard the monitor say that in order to avoid suspicion, he only put two Tianxingcao seeds in the bottle and asked the senior to help with the other three seeds, he would not know what was in the bottle.

The senior grinned and said, "He's a good monitor."

Because he liked the class monitor and found that the class monitor had a solid foundation of knowledge, the senior student simply helped him while chatting with him. After all, as long as three seeds were squeezed in, it would be fine.

After the two of them finished their work, the squad leader thanked them again and left in a hurry.

The senior muttered, "He's a pretty good junior."

He was just lamenting when another part-time student came over, sweating profusely. "Teacher, the seeds of the plant I replaced a few days ago are gone! I wanted to wait until I was sure the seeds were completely dead before throwing them away!"

The senior's face changed: "What?"

The teacher was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Changed? Aren't those seeds almost dead? It doesn't matter if they were taken away. They can't be planted anyway."

Senior: “???”

——

The class monitor was gone for quite a while, but the classroom was still not quiet.

Ning Miaomiao felt confused listening to their conversation.

She was lucky enough to know two out of ten of the plant names they mentioned!

The original owner was a top student in college!

However, these seemed to be contents from the plant encyclopedia. She had to copy them anyway, so she could just write them down when the time came.

Thinking of this, Ning Miaomiao clumsily opened the light brain and searched the plant encyclopedia according to the original owner's memory. When she saw the number of words in each chapter of the plant encyclopedia, her face gradually became dull.

"By the way, you still have to copy three chapters of the plant encyclopedia, so you must choose the seeds carefully, otherwise you will have no time to take care of the plants." A voice suddenly sounded above Ning Miaomiao's head.

Ning Miaomiao reacted violently when she came back to her senses. She shrank under the table and bumped into a chair with a loud noise.

The noise attracted the attention of other students. The round-faced girl who had just spoken to Ning Miaomiao raised her hands in embarrassment, her face flushed. “I… I didn’t do anything. I just said a few words to her.”

Why does it act like she bullied her classmates?

"Yes... I was distracted just now and got scared." Ning Miaomiao was a little embarrassed, but being alert was her instinct, and she couldn't control herself when she was distracted.

"It was because I spoke suddenly that I scared you." The round-faced girl saw Ning Miaomiao speak up for her. The speechlessness and a little anger she had just felt disappeared, replaced by helplessness and guilt. "Did you bump into something just now? Come out and let me take a look."

"No, no, no thanks!" Ning Miaomiao refused frantically.

She also realized that it was not a good idea to hide under the table, so she slowly crawled out from a place far away from the round-faced classmate, and then met dozens of pairs of eyes belonging to other classmates.

Ning Miaomiao: “…”

I kind of want to shrink back.

Fortunately, the squad leader came back at this embarrassing moment.

The squad leader was a boy who looked gentle and thin, but his pharmacy score was the best in the class, so he was temporarily appointed as the squad leader before the military training began.

There were fifty-seven people in the class, and he brought back three hundred seeds. The extra fifteen seeds were because Mr. Mandel turned a blind eye to some of his classmates.

"I tried my best to get all the Tianxing Grass from the teacher, but the storage of Tianxing Grass seeds is limited, so each of us can only get two." When the monitor said this, many people cheered.

You should know that Tianxingcao is not only a common material for first-level potions, but its vitality can be said to be the most tenacious among plant potion materials.

Simply put, as long as it is not a real plant killer, the survival rate of Tianxingcao is at least half.

"I've asked a part-time senior to help with the seed placement. Besides the two guaranteed Sky Star Grass seeds, some bottles may contain a third one, and some bottles may contain hard-to-grow seeds. However, the fifteen bottles I have left are all Sky Star Grass seeds. If students who get the hard-to-grow seeds can't grow them, they can come to me to get more seeds."

"Squad leader, you're the best!"

Everyone shouted and looked at the small bottles the size of knuckles that the squad leader placed on a hat.

The bottle is light silver and not transparent, so no one can see what the seeds inside look like.

So it depends on luck.

Most of the students were very proactive and wanted to try their luck while there were many bottles, but Ning Miaomiao would never squeeze in with them.

As a result, when Ning Miaomiao went to get them, there were only two left.

The two people who hadn't taken anything were her and the class monitor herself.

The squad leader saw Ning Miaomiao coming over and just smiled at her gently, motioning her to take it: "You take it first."

The monitor seems to be a good person.

While Ning Miaomiao was thinking about it, she also reached out to take the one that was closer to her.

But before her fingers touched the vial, she smelled a faint scent.

This smell...

Ning Miaomiao blinked, then decisively picked up another one and nodded to the monitor: "Thank you."

"You're welcome," the monitor shook his head, then reminded Ning Miaomiao, "You need to buy pots and soil to plant these seeds. You also need paper and pens, right? I know there's a senior from the pharmacy department who opened a store. We juniors can get discounts if we go there. I'd like to recommend the store to you."

"Thank you, squad leader." Ning·Qiongbi·Miaomiao felt that the squad leader was really a good person!

After getting the contact information from the squad leader, Ning Miaomiao ran away quickly.

Seeing her eager look as she ran away, the squad leader said: "..."

Is he really that scary?

First-year pharmacy courses are basically theoretical courses, mainly learning about various pharmaceutical materials and equipment.

Their schedule for the first three weeks of school is not tight, with usually five to seven classes a day, each lasting one hour.

When Ning Miaomiao traveled through time, it was lunchtime. There were three classes in total that afternoon. She found the class schedule according to the original owner's memory and finished the remaining two classes calmly. Then, she was not very proficient in using the navigation to confirm the route back to the dormitory.

Finally, carefully step on the aircraft and start controlling it.

The aircraft in the school are all relatively stable and gentle. When Ning Miaomiao was a plant demon, she could fly using her demonic power. Even though she was not used to controlling the aircraft at first, she gradually adapted to it.

She gradually let go and her speed became faster and faster, but when she flew to a certain area, she suddenly braked and stood there in shock and confusion without moving.

What's going on?

Why did she feel that there seemed to be a lot of dangerous aura ahead?

Ning Miaomiao felt something was wrong. She opened the map to see if there was another way to go around. But as soon as she opened the map, she heard a familiar voice: "Schoolmate, why are you here?"

Ning Miaomiao: “…”

save--

She looked up suddenly and her horrified eyes met Xina's.

Hina, who almost thought she was a monster, said: "?"

The author has something to say: The pit is still small and needs watering and hoeing. If you think it is okay, why not keep it?
