Chapter 103 Red and Green
"Should this be considered a dropped material?"
As the girl murmured, a game chat window popped up in her red eyes—
[One God Leads Three Pigs]: Wow, this guy is awesome! I just got a B-grade drop material for free. This thing could easily sell for at least 500 Star Coins on the game market! I've made a killing!!
In games, characters and voices can be disguised. Qiao Mei previously heard that the controller of the "One God Leads Three Pigs" character in the game had a loli voice, which seemed to indicate that the character also used a voice changer.
After reading their message, I clicked into their profile and was immediately speechless when I saw that their profile picture was of a little girl wearing a pink Barbie princess dress but with her hair dyed bright green.
This is definitely a guy, right? What girl would put together such a bizarre outfit?
After confirming that "One God Leads Three Pigs" was a boy, Qiao Mei gave him a nickname: "Red and Green".
She replied by asking him where the market was, since she hadn't seen it.
【Red and Green】: "Ah, this requires a certain level to unlock. You're only level 3 now, and this feature only unlocks at level 15. But it's okay, the dropped materials won't disappear. You can just sell them on the market later. By the way, do you want to add each other's contact information on the quantum computer?"
In light of the previous incident where she was being targeted by the Federal Army, Qiao Mei replied to Red and Green that contacting each other in the game was the same.
This is tactfully a rejection of him.
She continued to endure the excruciating pain in her head caused by excessive mental exertion, and went to check what materials were needed to craft the Type B mech.
The game system prioritized showing her the types of mechs that her current bat wings could be used to create.
Upon discovering that the minimum amount of materials needed to create a complete mech was eighty-eight, Qiao Mei silently closed the information box and removed the connector.
Damn it, at this rate, she'll have to grind for a long time, and there's no guarantee she'll get a drop of materials in every ranked match, and that they'll be exactly what she wants.
"Sigh..." The girl sighed softly, took out several vials of recovery fluid from her computer bracelet and gulped them down. Then, she kept opening the interstellar encyclopedia, searching for other ways to make money.
The result was pretty much what Gan Gan had told her before: the most profitable thing was mechs.
As for other things, like being a live streamer, she had no experience or energy to deal with them, so she could only close the webpage and plan to go to bed to rest.
I'll think about making money later.
Ao Cang hadn't fallen asleep at all; he had been keeping an eye on her situation. Seeing her sighing and frowning, he guessed that she was probably worried about money.
After flashing his golden dragon eyes, he still didn't say anything about letting her use his money. He closed his dragon eyes as she walked towards the bed, obediently letting her pick him up and put him to sleep on her chest, where she carefully covered him with a small blanket.
......
The military training period wasn't too long. The first few days were mostly physical training and basic mecha operation training, which wasn't difficult, just a little tough.
But things started to change in the following days.
While practical combat exercises using mechs are typically the training that first-year students in the mech department should undergo, this time, the beast taming and superpower departments are also going to participate.
Qiao Mei keenly sensed something unusual. While the students around her were chattering, she opened her personal terminal and sent a message to Grandpa Xu, explaining the situation.
[Grandpa (laughing at life)]: "It's probably the Federal Army trying to find out from your batch of new students if anyone meets their criteria. Just remember to avoid using attack mechs and don't attract too much attention."
What Xu Wenfeng said was what Qiao Mei had guessed and anticipated.
But the reason she told him was that she wanted to ask another question.
[Qiao Mei]: "Yes, I know that. What I really wanted to ask you is which federal army personnel I need to avoid in the future, because I am currently undergoing military training here, and some military officers will come over to give me guidance from time to time. I want to try to avoid them as much as possible."
After sending this message, Xu Wenfeng replied to Qiao Mei a long time later.
[Grandpa (laughing at life)]: "No need. Although I have left the Federal Army, I still have a lot of connections there. They will keep an eye on your situation. Xiao Mei, you just need to be as carefree as the other students."
Instead of living a life of constant fear and trepidation at an age when he should be carefree, I should be living this life on thin ice because of him.
After reading what Xu Wenfeng said, Qiao Mei understood some of the reasons behind his response, and her heart warmed slightly.
She sensed that both he and Xu Hui truly treated her as family.
Perhaps this is inseparable from the original owner of the body, but now the one receiving kinship and love is truly her.
Putting aside these turbulent thoughts, Qiao Mei, following Xu Wenfeng's advice, threw herself into the remaining military training relatively easily.
Because all departments will be conducting hands-on training with the mechs, the training for the three departments this time is not as rigorous as before. Instead of being separated as much, a mixed training model has been adopted.
People with beast-taming abilities, mecha abilities, and superpowers were all mixed together in one pot.
After Qiao Mei released the trumpet flower mecha she had rented from the academy, she met up with Shu Qingqing, Shang Duojin, and Zuo Chenxing.
Compared to the ordinary B-class mechs piloted by her and Shu Qingqing, the mechs piloted by Shang Duojin and Zuo Chenxing were much more powerful.
Qiao Mei stared in silence at the A+ grade priest mech that Zuo Chenxing had released.
Since he had an A+ grade mech, why did he only use the B grade Goddess mech during the interstellar mech competition?
However, everyone has secrets, and she was only surprised for a moment before not thinking about it any further.
On the contrary, Shu Qingqing put on a shocked expression and whispered to Qiao Mei, "What's going on? My husband is from a poor family, how come he has an A+ level mecha?!"
"How so?" Qiao Mei, now influenced by Shu Qingqing, had also become a bit gossipy. When Shu Qingqing beckoned her closer, Qiao Mei obediently did so.
Shu Qingqing continued in a low voice, "You don't know, the little lousy group my Chenchen is in has completely disappeared from the scene. And it didn't just start disappearing now, it started disappearing years ago. I saw that the clothes he wears and the smart bracelet he uses are all relatively inexpensive, so I thought his family was very poor. Now it seems that I underestimated him!!"
Qiao Mei suddenly remembered that when she first met Xingxing, Xingxing had offered the highest reward for answering questions, and she felt a little dazed.
That's true. If someone were truly poor, they certainly wouldn't be so generous in this regard, let alone be able to afford to play with mechs.
Just as she was thinking this, she felt the little black dragon on her neck poke her face with its tail, as if it had something to say.
No prize quiz—
What is Ao Cang trying to do by poking Qiao Mei?
① He was just itching for a fight. ② He also had gossip to share with Qiao Mei. ③ He felt ignored.
