Chapter 71 I'll Give You the Money

Xu Lingqu reopened an arena room, during which the mighty king rabbit Aowu persevered in sending her an application to add Skynet as a personal friend, and attached.

[I just want to know whether you rely on your own strength! ]

[Are you really not considering playing as a substitute? 】

I'll make you an offer you can't refuse

…

While the screen was being refreshed here, someone came to the arena after waiting for a long time and left a message: "The name is garbled, the appearance is ordinary, and there are bots in the arena." Then he left.

Human-machine Xu Lingqu: ...

Liu Ming laughed wildly, "I knew you'd be discriminated against in Skynet if you dressed like that."

Xu Lingqu simply quit Skynet. It was time to eat by then, so he decided to just bring back more nutrient solution to store.

She pushed open the door and walked out of the room. In the corridor, a man was lying not far from her door, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

The person looked familiar, so Xu Lingqu squatted down and turned her over. He recognized her as Natata, the girl from the mecha division.

Liu Ming, who had just run out of the room, watched curiously as Xu Lingqu reached out to check Natata's breath. The good news was that she wasn't dead, but the bad news was that there were no doctors in the infirmary, so they could only rely on a medical robot for a simple diagnosis.

Xu Lingqu carried the person on his back. Natata was very light. She was a petite girl to begin with, and carrying her on his back felt like a feather that could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Before leaving, he did not forget to drive Liu Ming, who was watching the fun, back into the house.

Because she was familiar with the terrain in advance, Xu Lingqu moved quickly. She placed the person on the bed and stared at the home robot to perform a basic diagnosis on Natata.

A minute later.

Medical robots: Hypoglycemia, fainting caused by patients not eating.

Xu Lingqu:?

It's interstellar now, and she's still going to starve herself to death? The nutrient solution in the cafeteria is a dollar a tube, almost cheap. Is she trying to lose weight?

Without saying a word, the medical robot gave Natata an injection of nutrient solution.

Less than five minutes later, the girl on the hospital bed slowly woke up.

Medical robots bring life back to the elderly.

Natata's lips were still pale. She opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. When she saw Xu Lingqu, she was stunned: "Student Xu...you..."

She was clearly in a state of mental shock and had no idea what was going on.

"You fainted in the corridor of my dormitory. I brought you here." Xu Lingqu briefly explained the situation. She stood up and sighed, "Let's go. I'll treat you to a good meal."

When Natata heard the word "eat", she subconsciously swallowed her saliva and followed Xu Lingqu obediently.

When Xu Lingqu arrived at the cafeteria, she ordered fresh dishes and rice and placed them on the table. She took a few big bites, and only when her stomach was almost full did she realize how embarrassing she had done.

She fainted from hunger at the door of someone's dormitory and was sent to the infirmary. After she came out, Xu Lingqu even treated her to a meal!

Natata almost choked herself, and Xu Lingqu pushed the water on the table to her.

"If you can't swallow it, drink some water," Xu Lingqu said helplessly. After playing with the kids on the Star Network, she had to remind them to eat and drink. She felt like a kindergarten teacher.

As if she had been treated as a fool, Natata quickly drank several mouthfuls of water and swallowed them. When she recovered, she patted her chest to calm herself down and said, "I'm sorry, I'll pay for this meal..."

"Forget it. I'm afraid you'll be lying there again tomorrow." Xu Lingqu refused directly. "You don't even have money to buy nutrient solution in your current situation. What happened?"

Sure enough, in Xu Lingqu's eyes, pretending to be something is completely useless.

Natata took a deep breath and said weakly, "I owe a huge loan."

Without waiting for Xu Lingqu's response, she quickly explained, "It's definitely not those messy reasons. It's the tuition and material costs for the mecha technicians."

Training as a mecha technician is an extremely expensive field. Even families barely reaching the middle class can barely afford it, so the tuition and material costs are a bottomless pit, nearly making the mecha technician profession exclusive to the wealthy. Fortunately, this profession still relies heavily on talent. Schools will offer assistance to talented students, or they can earn a small fortune by working for a few mecha masters early on.

"My parents left me a long time ago." Natata lowered her head, her fingers clutching the clothes on her legs tightly. "Before entering Moye, I owed a huge loan to support my mecha training. After the disciplinary officer learned of my situation, he helped me negotiate with the bank and told me to start repaying after I found a job... I'm very grateful to him, but now, there's a very important mecha apprentice competition... and the materials fee is 150,000 yuan to participate. I'd like to seize this opportunity."

"If you save a dollar or two on nutrient solution out of the 150,000 yuan cost of materials, you won't be able to save enough even after the competition is cancelled." Xu Lingqu frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was so obsessed with going that I subconsciously did something stupid. I must have been so hungry that I couldn't see clearly and left your floor early..." Natata waved her hand, "I didn't mean to cause you any trouble. I won't do this again."

Xu Lingqu stared at her for two seconds. The commander's eyes were too sharp. Natata was almost frozen by his gaze. She was too nervous!

"What's your final ranking in the Mecha Division field?"

Natata tremblingly held up two fingers: "Two."

Overall, she should have a certain talent and is very passionate about being a mecha master. After the sudden change at home, she still gritted her teeth and persisted, and was willing to take out a loan to enter the mecha master program of the six major military academies.

Xu Lingqu said, "I'll give you the 150,000 yuan for the competition."

"Um...ah? Ah???" Natata jumped up in fright. Fortunately, there were only two of them in the cafeteria at that time.

"It's a reasonable investment." Xu Lingqu lowered his head and transferred 90,000 yuan directly to Natata. "I'll give you the rest as soon as possible. When is the registration deadline?"

Natata was so shocked that she was as stiff as a home robot whose program had crashed. She answered the question subconsciously: "Next week... No! Xu, I can't. I can't take your money."

Oh my god, how could she take Xu Lingqu's money and then participate in the competition? Her behavior of falling at the door of someone's room today was simply like a scam...

"You'll need to pay it back later. This isn't something I'm giving you for free." Xu Lingqu glanced at the things on the table. "Finish eating these first."

Natata followed the instructions and sat down obediently, tears welling in her eyes. Xu Lingqu was so kind to her. She reached out and wiped away her tears: "I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Xu Lingqu shook his head: "I want you to pay it back, but you probably won't be able to pay it back quickly. Don't worry."

Natata was curious: "What do you want me to give back?"

Xu Lingqu: "An S-class mecha."

Natata: ????
