Chapter 19 Chapter 19 You are going to study - Mecha Driving...
After Tao Ying's body recovered to normal, he continued to board the starship and headed for Leimen City. This time, thanks to the protection of the mecha team, nothing went wrong.
The cigar-shaped starship docked at the port.
The female voice at the airport began to announce.
[This voyage has reached its destination. Passengers arriving at the destination, please collect your luggage and disembark in order.]
The moment I stepped off the starship and stood in front of the gangway, the familiar city came into view.
The 3D billboard was playing an advertisement for Garcia Electronics, which looked prosperous and technological. Tourists from other places stopped in front of the billboard to take pictures.
The elevator to the ground level has arrived.
A group of people rushed in at once.
The upright transparent elevator is a circular glass tube. It is more transparent than the large fish tanks in shopping malls and allows you to clearly see the scenery outside.
Hurley exclaimed as she looked at the billboard. The three of them huddled together, their palms pressed against the elevator, and began to chatter about Chester's advanced technology.
Tao Ying leaned against the glass and watched them making trouble.
"I miss it so much. I haven't been back to this place for ten years." Che Xiaoli sighed.
Tao Ying looked towards the direction of Laiji Institute - it had long been a ruin and had now been replaced by a commercial area.
Looking at the two colleagues again, their expressions were a little gloomy, probably because they remembered how Lai Ji looked before.
Tao Ying was quite calm.
After all, these ten years have stopped for her, as if she was still working at the Laiji Institute yesterday.
The port is about one kilometer above the ground. It took ten minutes for the elevator to descend in the air and reach the ground.
The doors opened to the left and right, and Tao Ying walked to the elevator, waiting for everyone to emerge. Everyone had different destinations, so it seemed appropriate to say goodbye here.
Hurley, Benjamin, and Sonya were still feeling the novelty of arriving in Leimen City. They jumped onto the hovercraft, opened the windows, and waved to Tao Ying and the others.
"Sister Xiaoying, if you have nothing to do, come out and play with us!"
"Well, if there is time." Tao Ying replied.
Although she has a lot of things to do next, she probably won't have time.
The hovercraft rose onto the aerial track and sped away at the speed of a roller coaster.
Researcher Che came to her senses and remembered that she had never asked the junior schoolmate's name.
"Sister Xiaoying? Is your name just Ying?"
"Ying, which means novel," Tao Ying nodded and said, "My last name is Bai."
"oh oh."
Researcher Che nodded twice, staring blankly at Tao Ying's face, and then looked in the direction of the Laiji Institute. He was obviously drawn into memories and was in a somewhat depressed mood.
Dalong said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, when she thinks of the Laiji Institute, she will..."
"I know."
Tao Ying stood quietly for a while until the two hovercrafts left.
About five minutes later, Tao Ying stuffed her luggage into Researcher Che's hands and said she had something to do and had to leave alone. When she came back, she had two cups of coffee in the coffee tray in her hand.
Dalong was a little confused. So she just said she had something to do, so she went to buy two cups of coffee? But Researcher Che suddenly blinked and took the coffee.
“You…you.”
Tao Ying shrugged. "The second cup is half price. Wasn't that the way it was when you were at Laiji Office?"
Researcher Che once again showed a dazed expression.
"Is this also written in the boss's diary?"
"Of course, why else would I know?"
"I'm not her."
Tao Ying smiled faintly, took a sip of coffee, then took the luggage from Che Xiaoli's hand and boarded the hovercraft heading to Leimen University.
She didn't look back, but raised her hand and waved twice as a farewell. There wasn't much of a parting emotion because she knew they would meet again.
"The Laiji Institute will not disappear like this."
She said in a voice that her two former colleagues could hear.
"--I promise."
·
The port of Chester is located in the core area A, only a ten-minute drive from the city of Leimen.
Tao Ying did not stop on the way and went directly to the destination.
Ten minutes later, the hovercraft arrived at Leimen University.
After paying 200 star coins for the hovercraft, there were only a few thousand star coins left in the account, which was probably enough for Tao Ying's expenses for a week.
Most of Tao Ying's money was spent on buying identity cards and boat tickets, and there was not much left.
To be honest, it was a pain for her to spend the two hundred star coins on the hovercraft, but her physical condition was too weak to walk here.
…
I should have used my status as a junior schoolmate to blackmail my two colleagues. She's been too conscientious lately. After registering, I have to find a way to earn some living expenses.
Tao Ying shook her head, dragged her luggage, and walked to the school gate. She tilted her head back and shielded her eyes from the sunlight with her hands.
The words "Leimen University" are written in golden letters.
Just like back then.
There was a small crack on the word "Lai" that had been filled in - it was caused by her crashing into it while driving a mecha, and she lost a lot of money at the time.
The road is lined with ginkgo trees, which are older than the history of the school.
Because of the delay on the road, most people had already completed their registration a few days ago, so there was no one queuing. Tao Ying swiped her ID card, filled out the form and handed it over.
The teacher in charge adjusted his glasses and looked at the student data displayed on the computer.
"Oh, mecha pilot major! Welcome to Lemen University. You are about to begin four years of... uh, wonderful college life."
When talking about the word "beautiful", the teacher in charge seemed a little guilty.
Tao Ying pointed doubtfully at the major she filled in on the form.
"You're wrong. My major is Mecha Systems."
"No, no, no, the student registration system shows that your major is mecha piloting. Please check the admission notice in the computer."
Tao Ying placed her backpack at her feet and opened her computer. The search interface displayed...
Mecha driving major.
Seeing Tao Ying's dull look, the teacher in charge patted her shoulder.
"Maybe you filled in the wrong major when you applied, but it doesn't matter. They're all mecha-related majors, so they're pretty much the same."
almost?
Tao Ying's eyes went dark, and when she came to her senses, she found that the teacher in charge was pulling her with a terrified look on his face.
"Are you okay, classmate? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?"
After turning off the heart rate alarm on the computer, Tao Ying replied "No need", sat down on a chair beside her, took a deep breath, and calmed her breathing for a while.
You can't blame her for being excited.
As everyone knows, the mecha driving major at Leimen University is a merged second-rate major. Students from the school think it lowers the grade, and students from other schools look down on it even more.
This major has no future at all.
Let’s not talk about this for now.
No, even if it's not a driving major, she can accept any other major related to mecha, but mecha driving major?
Her physical condition?
Mecha driving major?
If she gets in the cockpit of a mecha again, she will die immediately.
When Tao Ying left the Fourth Galaxy, she had clearly confirmed all the details. It was absolutely impossible that she had filled in the information incorrectly. So, although the possibility was very small, it could only be that there was a problem with the enrollment of students at Leimen University.
She decided to solve this problem first, slung her backpack over her left shoulder, and walked towards the office building.
"Hey, classmate, slow down!"
The teacher in charge looked at Tao Ying's pale face and was very worried that she would fall down halfway. He wanted to stop her, but when he stood up, he kicked the chair and failed to stop her.
After a moment, she shouted loudly as she watched Tao Ying's back walking towards a path.
"Hey, classmate, isn't that the way to the office building..."
But Tao Ying didn't hear anything at all and just kept walking forward.
The teacher next to her heard her shouting and looked up. She patted another teacher on the shoulder.
"It's okay, there's a shortcut over there that also takes you to the office building."
"Is this true?"
"Why would I lie to you? It's really strange though. I've only just found out about this after being at this school for three years. How can a freshman know the shortcut to the office building on their first visit to LaiDa?"
The teacher muttered doubtfully, holding up the chair.
"I guess she's been here before."
·
Tao Ying rushed to the office building and, after discussing the matter with the staff, came to no conclusion. They insisted that her information was incorrect and told her that she couldn't change it. Even when Tao Ying presented evidence, they didn't take her words seriously.
Tao Ying checked her grades and found that her scores had been swapped. The person opposite her was a man named Gan Yi.
Decades ago, it was common to replace the scores of students from remote galaxies.
But later, it was exposed by a mysterious hacker group.
The relevant organizations in various galaxies united together and severely punished the relevant personnel, and this situation was basically eliminated afterwards.
After all, it involves educational equity.
I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people who dare to do such a thing.
Maybe they chose Tao Ying because she came from a remote galaxy and had no immediate family members, and they thought she had no way to resist.
He is truly the chosen one.
hehe.
Speaking of the person who changed her score... Gan Yi, what a familiar name.
Tao Ying glanced at his last name. Iowa.
Iowa family?
Now that you say this, she won’t be sleepy anymore.
I didn't intend to get involved with them so early, but I didn't expect that we would meet again.
"So, this matter is your own responsibility, and the school can't help you with it."
Seeing Tao Ying stunned, the staff member came in aggressively with documents in his hand, as if he wanted to force Tao Ying to retreat.
Tao Ying looked at him meaningfully, and left without further investigation.
After she left, the staff received a call.
"Hello... Yes, that student came today. She left. She must have given up. Okay..."
The staff member hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on. It was simply a substitution of scores. But when something like this happens, you just have to accept it.
Who dares to offend the Iowa family? They donated a lot of money to the school.
This student is quite pitiful. He originally had high scores, but he was replaced by "that college", the least popular college at Leimen University.
The staff member sighed symbolically, turned around, opened his computer and started browsing social networks.
·
There are two mecha academies at Leimen University.
One is called the Mecha College, which offers majors such as mecha science, mecha history, and mecha literature, and is located on this campus.
The other one is called "Mecha Special Academy", which is located on another campus, ten minutes away by shuttle ship.
Tao Ying got off the car again with her luggage.
A dilapidated iron gate, peeling walls, and a rusty school sign that read "Leimen University Mecha Special Academy."
The word "special" is very small, as if it is deliberately not wanted to be noticed.
This appearance does not make people think of "the top university in StarCraft" at all.
Yes, as a comprehensive university, the only thing that LaiDa is not so good at is mecha driving. This "Mecha Special Academy" was merged from a third-rate military academy in order to enhance the comprehensiveness of the school.
But the merger clearly had no positive impact on the University of Leimen.
The entire campus is very old.
Tao Ying came downstairs to the dormitory.
The dormitory building has been there since the school was founded and is in a shaky state.
Logically, there should be a robot platform on the first floor to help transport luggage to the designated floor, but it was obviously not there. Even the elevator showed that it was under maintenance and could not be used.
Tao Ying had no choice but to carry her luggage upstairs by herself. She glanced at her dormitory number, 1404.
I looked at my computer again and my heart rate was 58.
The light brain prompts her that she is in the "fat burning" state.
“…”
How to carry ten kilograms of luggage to the fourteenth floor was one of the most challenging problems she had encountered in the past few decades of her life.
I wasn't so helpless even when I was fixing bugs for Heng.
Just as I was thinking about what to do, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side of the suitcase, and then a tall woman appeared - estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall.
Her hair is medium-long and layered, which is quite handsome, but she is wearing a pink shirt with anime girl prints and holding a lollipop in her mouth.
"Which floor do you live on? I'll help you move up."
Tao Ying showed a grateful look.
"Fourteenth floor."
The tall woman picked up her luggage with one hand: "Hmm? I live on the fourteenth floor too. Which room do you want?"
"1404."
"I live in 1404 too! What a coincidence!" She wanted to reach out and shake hands with Tao Ying, but then she forgot she had luggage on her hands and rashly withdrew her hand. "I'm Lin Biege, majoring in mecha piloting."
"Bai Ying, you're also a mecha pilot—be careful not to hit your head."
Tao Ying reminded.
Lin Biege bent down slightly to avoid the exposed screws next to the door frame.
If you get bit by this, wouldn't you get tetanus?
Lin Biege complained: "Really? The height and condition of this door don't meet fire safety standards, right?"
"It seems to be a school building that was privately renovated years ago. The original height was built according to the minimum standard. Due to years of disrepair, the door frame has deformed, making it even shorter—"
"Oh, why is Leimen University like this?" Lin Biege sighed. "I only found out after I enrolled that this is the 'Mecha Special Academy'. I forgot to mention the word 'special'. I feel like the next four years will be miserable... Were you also fooled here?"
"About the same."
"Your name is Baiying, so I'll call you Yingzi. You can just call me Xiaolin."
Tao Ying wanted to correct her by saying that her name was "Bai Ying" and that Lin Biege had made a mistake with the homophone, but she thought better of it. It didn't really matter.
Lin Biege was tall and had long legs, so she went up first. By the time Tao Ying arrived at the dormitory, she had been waiting for a long time.
"Why are you taking so long to get up here...what happened to your leg?"
Tao Ying climbed two floors and felt a little dizzy. She didn't know where the wound on her leg was. Lin Biege was a very kind-hearted person. He immediately took out some medicine to help her treat the wound.
The medicine box she took out was fully stocked with all kinds of common medicines, which was a bit inconsistent with her carefree personality.
"Is this the medicine box distributed by the school?"
"How is that possible? It's my own. Look at the conditions of this dormitory," Lin Biege pointed at the mold on the wall. "They don't even care about this, and you expect them to prepare common medicines."
Tao Ying rummaged through the medicine box.
“It’s quite complete.”
"Hey, I often get injured when working outside." After bandaging the wound, Lin Biege patted Tao Ying's back.
"It's time. I have to go to work. If you want to eat, remember to go to the third window. The food there is barely edible. Also, the lady at the fifth window gives a lot. If you want to eat a lot, remember to go to her. And the one on the second floor... the third floor..."
Although he had only been at school for two days, Xiaolin had already gotten to know the cafeteria very well.
Before Tao Ying could say anything, Lin Biege took a step with his long legs and disappeared at the dormitory door like the wind.
The dormitory is a four-person room and is very simple.
There was a name tag on the headboard of the bed. Tao Ying walked around the bed.
Very strange.
Tao Ying was delayed on the way, so she arrived at school very late, making her the last one to arrive. There were still two empty beds in the dormitory.
Three names, there should be three people.
Classes start in two days, and one person is missing.
Could he be a victim of a professional change?
Speaking of which, her professional problems have not been resolved yet.
Tao Ying sat on the bed, kneading her legs which were sore from climbing the 14th floor.
She simply sent an email using the school mailbox.
I hope this email can give her an answer within two days.
