Ye Ling hummed a little tune and skipped into the Mecha Academy laboratory, holding tightly in her hand the treasure she had found from the ruins - the energy source.
In her opinion, this thing is simply a magical tool that can change destiny!
She couldn't wait to start her mecha upgrade plan and let those who once laughed at her see what a comeback was!
"President Liu, Technician Lin, look!" Ye Ling pulled out the energy source like a treasure, excitedly explaining her upgrade plan. "With this, my mecha's performance will definitely improve by several levels. Then..."
Dean Liu pushed his reading glasses up on his nose, frowning, a look of disapproval on his face: "Ye Ling, your plan is too... well, how should I put it, too unconventional! Our academy has rules and regulations for mecha upgrades. You're taking too much risk!"
Technician Lin also chimed in: "Yeah, Ye Ling, who knows if this thing has any side effects? What if it explodes?"
When Ye Ling heard this, she felt like a deflated ball. The plan had suffered such a heavy blow before it even started to be implemented, which caught her off guard.
But she is not someone who gives up easily!
"Hmph, how do you know if you don't try!" Ye Ling secretly argued in her heart, turned around and went to find the parts supplier, Boss Sun.
She just didn't believe that she couldn't get these broken parts done without the support of the academy!
As soon as Boss Sun saw Ye Ling, a hypocritical smile appeared on his greasy face: "Oh, isn't this Miss Ye? What brings you here?" The tone of his voice sounded strange.
Ye Ling went straight to the point: "Boss Sun, I need a batch of spare parts." She took out a list that listed the key components needed for the upgrade.
Boss Sun took the list and his eyes rolled around. He knew at a glance that someone was up to something bad.
He took a sip of tea slowly, then said with a forced smile: "Ye Ling, it's not that I don't want to help you, these parts are exclusive products, and the price..." He stretched out five fingers and shook them.
When Ye Ling heard the price, she almost fainted. This was clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Boss Sun, you are asking for too much!"
Boss Sun shrugged, looking scoundrel: "I can't help it. I'm the only one who has these parts. Take them if you want."
Ye Ling took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, clenched her fists, turned around and left.
"It seems that I have to find another way..." She muttered softly and disappeared into the bustling street.
Ye Ling returned to the place where she had agreed to meet Duan Yu in a dejected manner. She looked like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted.
Duan Yu saw her like this, without saying a word, he stretched out his long arms, gently embraced her in his arms, and said softly in her ear: "Don't worry, I'm here."
A light and refreshing scent lingered at the tip of Ye Ling's nose, like the fragrance of grass after rain, which made her feel a lot more at ease.
Ye Ling felt Duan Yu's body temperature and his firm strength, and the haze in his heart dissipated a little, replaced by a warm current.
"Hmph, they're just a few broken parts! Can't I handle them?" Ye Ling suddenly raised her head, a gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes.
She is not the kind of little girl who cries when encountering difficulties. The unyielding spirit in her bones makes her full of strength.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Ling might continue to raise funds to purchase parts, or beg Boss Sun humbly.
But she refused!
She decided to develop her own replacement parts!
Who says only Boss Sun can provide those exclusive goods?
She just doesn't believe this!
She thought of the special knowledge contained in the ancient mecha core and the experience she gained in the ruins, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
Those "junk messages" that others considered useless have now become the key to her counterattack!
Ye Ling plunged into the laboratory and started a crazy scientific research mode.
Various tools flew in her hands as if they had life.
Circuit boards, chips, energy converters...
Various parts were disassembled, reassembled and debugged in her hands.
Time passed minute by minute, and the laboratory was filled with the sparks of welding and the hum of running machines.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Ye Ling's forehead, but she had no intention of stopping.
"It's done!" An excited cry broke the silence of the laboratory.
Ye Ling looked at the parts in her hand that were flashing with strange light, and a victorious smile appeared on her face.
This is not an ordinary part, but a super substitute she developed by combining the core knowledge of ancient mechas with modern technology!
"Wait...it seems like something is missing..." Ye Ling stared at the parts in her hand, frowning slightly, and muttered to herself...
Ye Ling grunted and grumbled, like a little worker bee, locking herself in the laboratory. Instant noodle bags piled up like a mountain, her hair was a mess like a chicken coop, and she looked like a real Frankenstein.
But after a few days and nights, she really did it!
The performance of this shiny part in my hand not only surpasses Boss Sun’s “exclusive product”, but it even has a hidden buff!
Ye Ling put her hands on her hips and laughed proudly three times: "Hahaha! I really am a genius!"
She took the treasure she had tinkered with and excitedly went to find Technician Lin.
When Technician Lin saw this thing, his eyes almost popped out and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He picked up the part and looked at it left to right, up and down, muttering to himself, "This... this... this is amazing!" All his previous doubts were swept away, replaced by shock and admiration.
However, the stubborn Dean Liu remained the same, shaking his head with an expression that said, "You're just daydreaming."
"Ye Ling, I know you've worked hard, but..." He wasn't finished when Ye Ling interrupted him, "But what? Dean Liu, just let me try! This part is absolutely safe and reliable, much better than the ones sold by that unscrupulous businessman, Boss Sun!"
Dean Liu wanted to say something else, but looking at Ye Ling's determined eyes, he finally sighed and reluctantly agreed.
Ye Ling was so excited that she almost jumped up, and she couldn't wait to start upgrading her precious mecha.
But at this moment, Ye Ling suddenly froze. She stared at the parts in her hand, frowning, as if she had thought of something.
"Wait..." she muttered to herself, "It seems like something is still missing..." She lowered her head in thought, her fingers tapping the table unconsciously.
