When Xia Shizhao got home, he chatted with Mu Tong and the others about going back later. Then he immediately rushed to the house near the school. The flowers in the garden had been neglected for too long and had grown crooked and droopy. Xia Shizhao didn't have time to take care of them for the time being.

She quickly went up the stairs, pushed open the door, and found it lying silently on the bed.

She grabbed the little white dog by the neck and lifted it up, only to find that it had turned into a mechanical dog.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he swayed. "Youyou? Fitness?"

What's going on?

Xia Shizhao was completely baffled. In fact, if Youyou were still in her hands, she wouldn't have been tied to the airship for so long. For the past few months, she had been trying to contact it, thinking that Qi Mo had harmed Youyou, but it turned out to be a mechanical dog.

Moreover, in this state, it's less that it's dead, and more that the energy that supported it has disappeared.

Xia Shizhao put the mechanical dog back on the bed, feeling irritated by having too many things to do.

I just can't understand it.

Didn't the main god say to leave Youyou here?

Rather than leaving it here, wouldn't it be impossible to take it back? Thinking of this, Xia Shizhao fell into deep thought.

Xia Shizhao was certain of only one thing: this small world was indeed a book at the beginning, and the fact that her body data could be changed at will was quite obvious.

She can't change it now, just like before when she could freely choose whether or not to accept the influence of pheromones.

Because she was once induced to have a fever, Xia Shizhao simply turned it off. Now, she is completely unaffected by pheromones; she can smell them, but she doesn't react.

It's unclear whether it was a butterfly effect caused by Ye Qiuling not following the text, but rather that this world began to function normally again, with many characters in the book developing their own consciousness.

For example, Mu Qinwan in the book is a singer who shines on her own stage. Later, she was bankrupted by Ye Qiuling. Her fate is another story, since she is one of the villainous female supporting characters and certainly didn't have a good ending. But now, she is a reporter on the front lines and can even talk and chat with Ye Qiuling in a calm manner, and the two obviously have no grudges against each other.

Furthermore, it was strange that Ye Qiuling started making fun of the Xia family as soon as she took over the Third Organization.

In the book, she prioritizes stabilizing the situation rather than engaging in mass killings. Furthermore, it seems that although Xia's parents are not good people, they simply ignored Ye, which is quite strange considering they ended up being tortured to death.

Could it be that Ye Qiuling has gained the memory of the novel's content? If so, then her killing him would be quite reasonable.

After all, Xia Shizhao in the original novel did all sorts of despicable things, causing Ye Qiuling to be on the verge of death several times.

But if she had all the memories, she should realize that she doesn't match them.

Therefore, she reasonably suspects that Ye Qiuling's memory is incomplete, and of course, she does not rule out the possibility that Ye Qiuling is ruthless.

I suddenly remembered our conversation with the little robot. She wrote: "So when can we meet? I have a strange dream to tell you in person."

She refused at the time, which caused Ye Qiuling to ignore her for several days.

In the end, she still managed to coax him back into a good mood.

Thinking about this gave Xia Shizhao a headache. He should have spent a lot of money to buy a disguise potion back then, so that he could have met and talked to confirm whether it was the content of the novel.

I went to the next room and looked around, but Qi Mo was gone too.

There was a note on the table, and Xia Shizhao realized that he didn't have her contact information yet.

Good heavens, how am I supposed to get Fire Grass like this...?

Xia Shizhao was heartbroken.

Look at the words on the note.

"I'm very comfortable here. If you come back alive, I'll definitely come back to stay here again. There will be compensation, don't worry."

The handwriting is delicate, but it also looks a bit dull.

An animated cartoon was playing on TV, telling the story of a time-traveling robot cat and a child.

Xia Shizhao threw the note into the trash can, lay down on the sofa, stared blankly ahead, and let his mind go blank.

If there really is a machine that can travel through time, could it bring back Yu Qinlu from the past?

A crazy idea rushed into his mind in an instant, and the hope that had just flashed in Xia Shizhao's eyes was extinguished by himself.

We still need to find a medium.

Let's not even talk about interstellar travel; the idea of ​​a time machine existed back on Earth, but no one in history has ever been able to build one.

If it were possible, it would have been done long ago.

For hundreds of billions of years, no one has ever been able to create it.

No matter how proud Xia Shizhao was, he dared not think of it, and his eyes couldn't help but dim.

How did she get here?

Xia Shizhao couldn't help but wonder again.

Could there really be such a thing as God?

The more Xia Shizhao tried to organize his thoughts, the more tangled they became, and he immediately stopped his wildly imaginative whims.

He sighed.

Fine, since I want to become stronger, I can only find someone to give me reasonable, grueling training.

After thinking about it, isn't Grandpa Mu the best choice?

With that thought, she sprang up and rushed to her mother's house.

Seeing her daughter, whom she had been away from for two hours, appear before her, Mu Tong was a little stunned. "Have you finished what you were doing?"

"Yes, yes, where is Grandpa?"

Xia Shizhao looked east and west, trying to find his grandfather.

He was fishing in the stream next to the pear orchard in front of him.

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Xia Shizhao kissed her and then quickly disappeared in front of Mu Tong.

The wooden doll maker, Mu Mama, shook her head helplessly.

The faint sorrow around me has dissipated considerably, and I finally feel more energetic.

For the past two weeks, Xia Shizhao has been unusually quiet and taciturn, eating very little, and sometimes even crying in his sleep.

They saw all of this, but didn't know how to comfort her, so they could only let her silently process it all herself.

at this time.

"Grandpa~"

Xia Shizhao appeared like a ghost. Grandpa Mu turned his head and looked at her kindly, "What's wrong, Zhaozhao? Is something the matter?"

"I want to study mecha, but my combat strength and physical strength are not as good as those of the average mecha student, so could you teach me?"

“It is possible,” Grandpa Mu added after a moment’s hesitation, “but the military academy only allows students to switch between the mecha department and the command department.”

"So I'm planning to drop out of school!"

"!"

The fishing rod in his hand suddenly struggled violently, and Grandpa Mu almost lost his grip. At this moment, he didn't care about the fish and looked at his granddaughter in surprise: "Have you thought it through? Dropping out of school is no small matter, especially not in the mecha department. Why don't you let me train you a bit now before you make a decision?"

"Okay." Xia Shizhao nodded. She wasn't withdrawing now so that they could rest assured. As soon as her grandfather discovered her determination and perseverance, she would immediately go and withdraw from school.

The next morning, Xia Shizhao began her grueling training.

Xia Shizhao stood in a horse stance, holding two bowls on his arms, sweat dripping from his temples, his grandfather's voice echoing in his ears.

"Hold on tight, if a little water spills out, add ten minutes."

...

"Break over, let's start the next project."

"Stand up straight!"

…………

"Go faster."

...

Being tortured every day, Xia Shizhao was no different from a dead fish. He would basically fall asleep as soon as he hit the bed after taking a shower.

Taking medicine won't solve the problem; you have to tough it out and improve your physical condition.

After a month, Xia Shizhao withdrew from the military academy and waited a year to retake the exam and go to the mecha department.

And he plans to return as an omega.
