The principal, beaming, personally ran over to open the door. "Jianguo's here! Come in quickly."
As soon as the door opened, Lu Manman saw a man in a silver suit sitting in an office chair, his dark eyes looking at her with a gentle smile.
To be honest, having seen all sorts of strange hair and eye colors in interstellar space, Lu Manman still felt quite a sense of familiarity upon suddenly seeing such a pleasing man with black hair and black eyes.
The second prince stepped forward and extended his hand. "Hello, Zhao Jianguo! I am the second prince of the empire, Feng Yuanchu."
Unexpectedly, handshakes were a custom in interstellar space. Lu Manman wasn't quite used to it, but she still shook the Second Prince's hand in return, saying, "Greetings, Second Prince!"
After Lu Manman finished speaking, she tried to pull her hand back, but found that she couldn't. She looked up and met a pair of bright black eyes that were smiling. Lu Manman was confused. "Second Prince?"
Feng Yuan Chu withdrew his hand. "I only used half my strength, and you couldn't break free. It seems your stamina really needs improvement. As a promising future super mecha warrior, you'll have to work even harder."
Lu Manman: "Okay." I'll try my best.
Feng Yuanchu seemed to sense Lu Manman's reluctance. "With great power comes great responsibility, especially now. I hope you can save humanity as soon as possible and bring us new hope."
Lu Manman nodded, "I will follow the Second Prince's teachings and will definitely work hard."
Feng Yuanchu nodded in satisfaction, then touched his personal terminal to Lu Manman's personal terminal. "I've added you on my personal terminal. Please accept my request. You can come to me if you need anything in the future, and I will do my best to help you."
For someone with such potential, Feng Yuanchu didn't mind being the first to curry favor.
Lu Manman couldn't refuse, so she obediently agreed to the friend request. In this way, she seemed to have entered an extraordinary circle.
Feng Yuanchu said some words of encouragement before letting Lu Manman go.
On the way back, Lu Manman still attracted a lot of attention, but unlike the previous disdain, this time it was all friendly greetings and sidelong glances.
Lu Manman's smile froze.
They bumped into Chen Cai at the corner, who looked excited. "Brother Jianguo!"
Before, when he was on the testing platform, the teacher asked him to leave after the test, and then he was called away by his classmates. He didn't even have time to talk to Lu Manman.
"My dad told me to take good care of you, but look, you've become the school's darling now, hehe, Jianguo, you're amazing."
Lu Manman nodded in agreement, "You're doing great too. Keep up the good work and try to make your dad proud."
Chen Cai scratched the back of his head, and after a while said embarrassedly, "Brother Jianguo, can I add your personal computer number? Don't worry, I will definitely not trouble you. I just want to have someone to look after me."
With his mental strength at 3S+, Jianguo Ge instantly became a prodigy envied by many, and naturally became their idol.
Thinking it was something serious, Lu Manman touched his personal terminal to her phone and said, "It's nothing, I've added you. Okay, I'm leaving now."
Lu Manman returned to the dormitory, where Zhao Bo was still engrossed in playing with his personal computer.
Zhao Laodao is busy, perfect timing!
Taking advantage of Zhao Bo's inattention, Lu Manman quickly lay back down on the bed and pretended to sleep.
"System, system, are you there? You're so amazing, can you let me drop out of school? Rather than becoming a superhero, I'd rather turn many people into superheroes."
System: "Under repair, do not disturb!"
Lu Manman: ...This system is as unique as ever.
When Ye Xingfan returned from his workout and saw Lu Manman still lying in bed, he snorted unhappily, "What a waste of time, what a waste of talent."
Xu Lingyuan finished his work as a freshman representative and returned to his dormitory to find Zhao Bo's fingers flying across the screen in front of him, looking somewhat angry.
"Zhao Bo, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"
Without turning his head, Zhao Bo said, "I'm arguing with someone online."
After replying to a message, Zhao Bo looked at Xu Lingyuan and said, "You don't know how many people online are saying that the magic fruit is fake. They're a bunch of frogs in a well. They've never seen it before, but they're convinced that no one else has seen it either. And they say such nasty things. If I don't give them a good talking to, I won't be able to sleep later."
"Miracle fruit" is the common term used by netizens to refer to fruits with supernatural abilities, which is quite apt.
Ding dong ding dong ding dong...
Another series of notification sounds followed. Zhao Bo sighed helplessly, "Oh well, here we go again."
Looks like I've stirred up a hornet's nest. Come on, come on, I'm not afraid of you, Brother Zhao. Zhao Bo quickly threw himself into the online flame war, his fingers almost blurring out of focus.
Xu Lingyuan shook his head helplessly and placed the packed food on the table.
"Jianguo, dinner's ready!"
Lu Manman stood up and said somewhat embarrassedly, "You don't need to bring me food anymore, I can eat by myself."
Xu Lingyuan smiled slightly, "Okay, then you must go to eat on time. You are a future super mecha warrior, so you must take good care of your health."
The road ahead is long: ...
This is putting her on the hot seat! Lu Manman sighed, opened the lunchbox, and found it to be a well-balanced meal with meat and vegetables, looking very nutritious.
Sigh! Everyone's really taking this so seriously, I'm under so much pressure, what am I going to do?
...
The next morning, before dawn, Lu Manman was woken up.
Ye Xingfan: "Hey! Wake up, it's time for your morning exercise."
Lu Manman struggled to sit up and found that everyone was dressed neatly and looked like they were about to leave.
Zhao Bo: "Jianguo, get up quickly, we're all ready, we're just waiting for you, the main character."
Lu Manman: ...Her aunt hasn't left yet, so this strenuous exercise isn't really appropriate.
"Maybe next time, I'm not feeling well."
duang~
A treatment pod flew out of Zhao Bo's spatial ring; it was specially provided to him by the old man when school started.
"Come in and lie down, this is the latest model, its functions and therapeutic effects are top-notch."
The road ahead is long: ...
She wouldn't dare use that; if her body data were analyzed, her identity would be in danger.
Sigh! Fine, I'll just have to risk my life to keep you company.
"It's not that serious. If we hold on, we might still be able to manage. Let's go!"
The group arrived at the training ground, where many people were already training.
Upon seeing the long road ahead, everyone turned to look.
"Isn't that the incredibly talented Jian Guo? He's putting in the effort too. It's true what they say, the more talented someone is, the harder they work."
"Oh, it's Jianguo. He works so hard. It seems we need to work harder too."
"For family, for the stars, for humanity, let's go!"
"..."
Besides whispering, many people came up to say hello.
The road ahead is long, and just replying to everyone has made my throat dry.
Lu Manman quickly said, "I don't think today is a good day for training. Let's do it another day."
The group reassured Lu Manman with their eyes in unison, then Xu Lingyuan turned to everyone and said, "Focus on your training. There's no need to greet Zhao Jianguo; it's just a waste of everyone's training time."
And so, Lu Manman was ultimately unable to escape the training. On the testosterone-fueled training field, a thin figure wearing sky-high height-increasing shoes ran through every corner of the training field.
