Chapter 21 Chapter 21 School starts.
Brown liquid was dripping from Yuris's smooth forehead, making him look dirty and in a very miserable state.
The waiter and the guests at the next table were still in shock, but now they seemed to have finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but exclaim.
"She actually dared to splash Admiral Yuris! Isn't she afraid of being caught by the Star Police?"
"The Admiral didn't seem to react... He took out a tissue and wiped up the coffee. What's going on?"
"The atmosphere is weird. It seems like the admiral is in the wrong."
"It's not an emotional dispute."
"Unlikely. The Admiral has never been able to forget his ex-fiancée. He even had a falling out with his family."
"You two should watch less eight o'clock dramas. Tao Ying has been dead for ten years."
Tao Ying: “…”
Yuris's affectionate character is quite convincing. She has been dead for so many years, but there are still passers-by who remember their engagement.
I'm afraid I'll start to believe it while I'm acting.
Yuris stood up. Although he was splashed with coffee and looked disheveled, he still maintained his noble demeanor.
"it's over?"
"Yes. I'm sorry, young people have more vigorous blood and are easily overwhelmed. You won't argue with a student like me, will you?" Tao Ying smiled.
"Excuse me?"
Yuris glanced at Tao Ying, who showed no apology at all, with his eyes full of indifference.
As expected, she's still a student, yet she handles things so impulsively. It seems his previous assumption that someone was behind her was overthinking it.
Yuris walked to the counter to pay and was about to leave when Tao Ying followed him as if he remembered something.
"Oh, there's one more thing. Just consider it my simple curiosity."
"When we first met, I wanted to ask you, where are the ashes of your ex-fiancée—oh, Tao Ying? I heard that you were originally keeping her body."
Yuris's face finally turned dark at this moment.
"have no idea."
"Could it have been stolen? A family as big as Iowa couldn't even keep a jar of ashes safe, right?"
"Oh—that's not right. Tao Ying was only engaged to you, so it seems you had no right to keep her body."
“…”
Yuris left, his steps somewhat hurriedly.
Tao Ying smiled and called the waiter to order a cup of coffee.
The caffeine cleared her mind a little.
She crossed her arms, tapped her fingertips on them, and looked down in thought.
The University of Leimen has very high requirements for course credits when changing majors, especially when transferring from a special college to a regular college.
Want to change your major? Get a perfect score first.
Want to get full marks? Change your major!
Dead loop, friends.
This mecha driving major...it seems I have no choice but to continue studying it.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked for another 5 million in compensation for mental damages.
Tao Ying had just thought of chopping Gan Yi into pieces when a beeping sound suddenly came from the computer.
Looking down, I saw new news from Researcher Che.
[Um, do you have any idea where the boss's ashes are?]
Tao Ying tapped on the keyboard and replied, "Why are you so obsessed with Tao Ying's ashes?"
"Well, what if someone uses it to extract DNA..."
"You are the only ones who would do such a thing. Please learn about interstellar ethics."
"Did the boss's diary even predict this step?" Researcher Che was shocked.
Tao Ying: “…”
Researcher Che's train of thought is sometimes quite strange, and she really doesn't seem like an adult woman.
Forget it, let’s talk about business first.
"As for the ashes, I'll tell you when I find any clues. Now I need your help."
"What? Tell me."
"Do you have data on the Star League for the past twenty years? Match progress, mecha models, players, all-encompassing data."
"Yes, I do... I have several hard drives with it. I'll send it to you now. But what do you want it for?"
Che Xiaoli is an avid fan of mechas. She goes to all mecha competitions, big and small, every year, saves all-round videos, and sometimes travels around to different competition areas.
The data sent over was indeed very detailed, and was even categorized by school. Tao Ying checked the data, took a sip of coffee with satisfaction, and said casually.
"It's useful anyway."
"Are you planning on participating in the Interstellar League? Didn't the doctor tell you to be cautious with your physical condition? Furthermore, during the Interstellar League auditions, only officially provided mechas are allowed—"
Researcher Che stopped talking halfway, but Tao Ying understood what she meant.
Mechanical mechas are different from sentient mechas and have very high physical requirements. With her current physical condition, she has basically no chance of winning the auditions.
After all, in the audition stage, in order to improve fairness and avoid equipment crushing, the use of perceptual mechas is not allowed.
"I know."
"Then you return!"
"Anything is possible. I'm just adjusting my life plans a little bit."
The researcher on the other end of the car muttered, "That doesn't sound like a minor adjustment."
"By the way, how's your physical surgery going? Did you get the subsidy application? If not, I'll go ask for you. After all, I'm a graduate of Lehman University, so I have connections."
"No, the school subsidy is enough."
In fact, the subsidies that Jite College can apply for are less than those of regular colleges. However.
Tao Ying looked at the account balance.
Adding the five million today, it will definitely be enough for the physical surgery.
Money is not a big problem for her.
It may sound a bit harsh, but she has been very good at making money since she was a child.
There was a chattering sound from the other end. Researcher Che seemed to be slacking off at work and replying to Tao Ying's message. She whispered to this side:
"That's good. If you need someone to accompany you during the surgery, remember to call me. I'm going to go back to work now. If you have any questions about mechas, you can ask me. I will answer them all."
"Thank you in advance then."
Tao Ying hung up the phone, contacted the top hospital for genetic surgery in the First Galaxy, and made an appointment for a physical examination.
When I got back to school, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning.
I hadn't expected the "Mecha Special Academy" to be so unique in every way. The dormitories even had access control. Tao Ying knocked on the door for a long time before a diamond-shaped intelligent being, floating in the air, floated over and opened the door.
"Opening the door in the middle of the night and charging two hundred star coins—?" A student returning late saw the sign in the intelligent body's hand and cursed as he handed over the money. "Good schools only care about studying, while bad schools care about everything. And you're charging money? If you're charging so much, can't you just fix the elevator?"
After paying the money, Tao Ying turned around and saw that the elevator was still under maintenance.
Climb to the fourteenth floor again?
Tao Ying looked at the stairs that seemed to have no end and sighed slightly.
She thought for a moment, turned around, and tapped the shoulders of the classmate next to her twice.
"Classmate, I'll pay you two thousand star coins. Can you carry me up to the fourteenth floor?"
The student had just paid two hundred star coins and sounded a little impatient when someone spoke to him. But after he realized what Tao Ying said, his eyes lit up.
Two thousand star coins is her food money for a month!
Looking at him again, she saw that he was thin and weak, and weighed very little. This deal was a great deal for her.
She was afraid that Tao Ying would go back on his word, so she quickly carried him on her back.
"make a deal!"
Back at room 1404, the lights were off. Tao Ying was so sleepy that she washed up with half-closed eyes, climbed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and saw a light on under the bed.
It's already two o'clock. Did Lin Biege just come back?
What are you doing out so late?
Lin Biege didn't notice that Tao Ying was awake. He carefully returned to his chair, took out the medicine box, and began to apply it on his legs, hissing from time to time.
It seems like he's injured. Tao Ying stretched out her hand over the bed and leaned down. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Biege raised his head as if he had telepathy.
A woman with her hair loose was lying on the edge of the bed.
"Ah! Ghost!"
"It's me."
Tao Ying wordlessly pushed the hair away from her forehead.
Lin Biege looked closely and realized that the woman lying on the bed with her hair hanging down was her new roommate.
"What? It's you, Shadow. You look so pale. Anyone who sees you in the middle of the night would be startled." Lin Biege was frightened and patted his chest before he recovered. "You haven't slept yet?"
"I fell asleep and woke up midway. Are you hurt?"
Lin Biege stammered, "It's nothing, I just fell on the road. Go to sleep, I'll go to sleep soon too. I have classes tomorrow. It's the first day of school, so I should go to bed early."
After saying that, Lin Biege quickly packed up, climbed onto the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep immediately.
She looked like she was afraid that Tao Ying would ask her something.
For example, how did he get injured? Why didn't he come home for several consecutive nights?
Tao Ying looked at her thoughtfully for a while, then covered herself with the quilt and went back to sleep.
·
The classes in the first few days of school didn’t contain anything nutritious, they were basically just encouragement to study.
"For the mecha computer course, the regular score and the final score each account for 50%, and there will be a computer test at the end of the semester."
"Classes and computer tests are usually conducted in groups, so you're forced to form teams of three or four. Everyone, please form teams over the next two weeks. That's it, get out of class dismissed."
"Ah——" Everyone expressed dissatisfaction with the forced team formation.
The teacher said ruthlessly, "Mechas are a test of teamwork, and the Star League is a team competition. Come on, students. I hope to see you on the field."
"How is that possible, considering the level of our third-level military academy."
"That's right, he can't even pass the audition."
Although everyone expressed dissatisfaction, they still started looking for people to form a team for the sake of credits.
The teacher also looked sleepy and was in a hurry to end the get out of class. He put his books together on the desk and was about to leave. He took half a step and suddenly remembered something, so he leaned his upper body back into the classroom.
"By the way, a teacher will lead everyone in a unified test of mental strength and physical fitness this afternoon, so don't miss it."
The classroom was suddenly filled with excitement.
"I haven't done any psychic testing yet."
"I heard you can do it as young as fourteen. But puberty has a big impact, so the college test is stable."
"What if I get a C?"
Mental strength and physical fitness determine a person's future. The higher the income of a profession, the higher the requirements for the results of these two tests. Everyone is very enthusiastic about this test.
It can be said that there is excitement mixed with a little worry.
Tao Ying has never been interested in this thing.
After genetic modification, the physical constitution will also change, and the results are of no reference to her.
Tao Ying sorted out the course content and turned around to see Lin Biege, who was lying on the table, had woken up - she had slept for the whole morning.
Tao Ying has discovered in the past few days that her roommate's daily life is just a straight line between home and school.
Eat, sleep, and work.
He eats especially seriously.
For example, now, Lin Biege was sleeping soundly just a second ago, but when the bell rang, she immediately stood up from her chair as if she had received some notification and rushed to the cafeteria.
Tao Ying didn't even have time to call her.
But today, Lin Biege ran especially fast, giving the impression of running away. He also seemed to be pretending to sleep during class.
Are you so afraid of being asked why you return to the dormitory in the middle of the night?
Tao Ying touched his chin and smiled slightly.
Just because she didn't ask doesn't mean she doesn't know anything.
