Chapter 46 The Princess and the Pea

When they returned to the small training ground, the students, who were originally quite excited, had calmed down a little. Once they relaxed, sleepiness came back.

There are not enough dormitories here, only 20 cabins for mecha technician students. Some students majoring in mecha technicians are willing to contribute their own cabins for everyone to squeeze in.

Some were unwilling, and there was no place to squeeze, so everyone just made do and slept on the floor. In a sense, this trial period cured some students with mysophobia, except Shen Shouli.

He stared at the floor of Natata's room for about 40 seconds: "No, I won't sleep."

Jin, who was standing by, tried to persuade her helplessly, "Isn't the floor outside even dirtier? It's good enough that you have a place to sleep, but you're still so picky. Just wait for me to go back and complain to your grandfather, or he will definitely punish you." He said the second half of the sentence in a low voice.

Shen Shouli glared at him and walked out. On the training ground, Xu Lingqu was sitting down against a tree, resting with her eyes closed. Xu Xizhen was also resting nearby, leaning against the woods. However, she was sitting so crookedly that she looked like she was fast asleep, and she didn't even notice someone approaching.

As for Xu Lingqu, she opened her eyes when someone got a little closer.

She lifted her eyelids and saw that it was Jin and Shen Shouli. She closed her eyes again and said, "Come and rest?"

Jin didn't care whether Xu Lingqu could see it or not, and shook his head: "I will bask in the glory of our commander."

The next second, a small stone flew out from Xu Lingqu's right hand and hit Jin's abdomen. He exaggeratedly covered the place where he was hit as if he was pierced by a bullet.

"Commander, you have a cruel heart..."

However, Shen Shouli and Xu Lingqu had no intention of cooperating with his performance. Jin straightened up awkwardly and found an empty seat to sit down. He quickly comforted himself: "This time, the commander obviously showed mercy to my men."

The ejected stones seemed to fly very fast, but actually they didn't hurt much when they hit the body. Compared to the first time the two met, Jin could accurately feel that Xu Lingqu's murderous intent towards him had weakened a lot.

In fact, Jin was no longer surprised by Xu Lingqu's operation in the underground maze. He was only looking forward to the day when he could really fight alongside her.

Shen Shouli looked at the tree Xu Lingqu was leaning against: "I remember you told me last time that there was a high probability of bird droppings on the tree trunk."

"That's the trunk of the tree, this is the root, and if you must say, this is where the dog pees." Xu Lingqu opened his eyes and glanced at where Shen Shouli was sitting. "Your place is usually where dogs bury their shit."

Jin burst into earth-shattering laughter, causing everyone within a five-meter radius to look at him sideways.

"Oh, hahahaha, I'm telling you, why do you have to provoke her? You can't argue with her, but you still have to go up and make yourself unhappy." Jin Bian smiled and wiped his tears, and with his other hand he patted Shen Shouli's stiff body.

Xu Xizhen, who was standing by, was awakened by the strange noise. She opened her eyes and found it was Jin. She turned over speechlessly and continued to sleep. She was so sleepy.

Shen Shouli's body was stiff and his ears were red, but he obviously didn't accept Jin's advice. Instead, he continued to talk to Xu Ling: "Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

The bark of the tree that Xu Lingqu leaned against was not smooth. The old bark had crisscrossing grain and many obvious bumps.

Shen Shouli was holding the combat uniform jacket in his hand. If Xu Lingqu had opened her eyes at this time, she would have been able to realize that Shen Shouli wanted to give her clothes to cushion her.

Unfortunately, Xu Lingqu closed his eyes again as soon as he finished speaking.

"Do you think it will prick people? Are you the Princess and the Pea?" Xu Lingqu thought that Shen Shouli also wanted to lean against it to rest but disliked the tree being prickly, so he asked himself this, and couldn't help but complain.

Jin was very confused when he heard this: "What kind of princess is the Princess and the Pea?"

When did the Empire have a Princess and the Pea? How come the Third Prince didn't know about it?

Shen Shouli was also silent, perhaps because of his doubts, the blood color on his ears faded a lot.

Xu Lingqu was speechless.

She took it for granted and quoted an Earth fairy tale to the two interstellar people. Xu Lingqu opened her eyes and began to explain, "There's a story about a princess who once lived in someone else's house. Under the 20th mattress, she felt a pea prickling her all night."

After hearing this, Jin Yi immediately understood why Xu Lingqu called Shen Shouli the Princess Pea. He laughed even more wildly and shouted at Shen Shouli in a mean way, "Princess Pea?"

Xu Lingqu had almost rested by now, so she opened her eyes, stood up, and looked at the intelligent computer. It was almost time, and the mecha masters were starting their assessment, so she prepared to go and watch.

Jin was about to follow, but Shen Shouli was stunned for some reason. Jin subconsciously thought that the title of Princess and the Pea was too much of a blow to him, and he wanted to be a human being and comfort his friend.

But Shen Shouli suddenly said: “She even made up a story just to call me princess.”

gold:……? ? ?

"You are not Shen Shouli, who are you? Get out of my friend's body!"

The assessment of mecha technicians was held in the center of the training ground. At this time, many students came to watch the fun like Xu Lingqu. Each mecha technician student had a small single room where they made parts.

Natata was a little panicked. Looking at the materials on the table, she prayed in her heart.

Father, bless me.

Jin and Shen Shouli had already caught up by this time, as well as Xu Xizhen, who was rubbing her eyes and yawning. She was still woken up by these two people, so she simply followed along to see.

"Are you interested in mechas, Commander?" Jin looked at Xu Lingqu, who seemed to be watching very seriously, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Well, I'm quite interested." Before Luminary showed up, Xu Lingqu was actually not very interested in mechas.

After slaughtering huge monsters for a long time, when faced with such a giant, even if it is made of metal, law enforcement officer Xu Lingqu's first reaction is itching to kill.

It wasn't until a mecha claiming to be an SSS-class mecha or the relic of Admiral Galaxy suddenly appeared in his hands that Xu Lingqu wanted to know more about it, but he didn't know much.

First of all, Liu Ming's identity was not confirmed in her eyes, and she was more inclined to treat it like a puppy. Secondly, her mental power was faked to be B-level, a level that could not drive a mecha. She was also an orphan who had just returned from the Zhuyun frontier and lived in seclusion. It was normal that she was not interested in mechas.

What really touched her was the phantom of Luminaire's real self that would appear in her mind from time to time, and the words that Instructor Chen said to her at that time.

"Once you come into contact with mecha, you will definitely like it."
