"Nominally, yes, but I won't be training with you. I have to go and modify a mecha to go on a mission." He came to the Mechanical Planet from school just to upgrade his Qi, and his apprentices were just a by-product.
But there are unexpected changes in the weather.
Su Xiaocai had already been promoted before arriving here, so the only thing left was to train an apprentice.
Since she has joined the team, she still needs to listen to the cruise route and mission details. She is not familiar with the mechanical planet.
Su Xiaocai asked Warrant Officer Fan about his class schedule.
Fan Li said, "After three hours, Comrade Su, you should go get a mecha. If it's hard to even go on a mission, how can you protect your companions?"
Looking at the back of Fan Li's neatly trimmed military uniform, Liu Xun rubbed his short hair and asked, "Why do I feel a sting in Fan Li's tone?"
Su Xiaocai clicked her tongue.
Fan Li's back stiffened for a moment. He was just annoyed by a little brat talking about protecting his companions.
That's ridiculous. Children should just do their duty as students. Why should they act so arrogantly?
If it weren't for Major Sun's guarantee, he wouldn't want to bother with it.
Forget it, Fan Li can't bother with a child.
…
There isn't much else on the mechanical planet, just a lot of buildings, and there are a lot of surplus dormitory rooms prepared for wartime.
A group of people, both men and women, Fan Li pointed to two rooms for them and said, "Meet at the training ground at the end of the corridor in two and a half. Don't be late."
Su Xiaocai's lounge was not the same as theirs. Hers was better, on the other side of the corridor, with two nurses and a senior maintenance technician sent by the school.
The senior maintenance technician's surname was Liang. He was not very pretty, with a few spots on his cheeks and a healthy wheat-colored skin. Su Xiaocai thought of him as a sports enthusiast who often swam at the beach.
The nurse was the opposite of Sister Liang. She was very fair and had a serious look about her, like a stern head nurse, with her collar buttoned meticulously.
As soon as she entered the room, she drew a line between herself and her two roommates.
"I'm a germaphobe. To avoid disturbing you, and to ensure we can live in peace for the next twenty days, let's not cross the line, okay?"
My roommate is a mysophobe, so I have to respect that. Su Xiaocai asked, "Would you mind if I cooked something?"
"Then don't make anything with a strong smell." The nurse spoke in a calm tone, as if she was trying her best to endure it.
Then she took the basin and handkerchief, slammed the door shut, and stayed in the bedroom without coming out.
Sister Liang and Su Xiaocai spread their hands.
It seems that this roommate is very cold and difficult to get along with.
Each person has a room and the kitchen is shared, just like in school.
Su Xiaocai went to make the bed and asked Xiaowanzi to go to the kitchen to cook. She made an extra portion and sent it to Sister Liang.
"Thank you. I was planning to go to the cafeteria." Sister Liang came closer and smelled the food. It was amazing.
"Your robot is really convenient." Sister Liang observed it carefully. "I remember that all the cooking robots out there used the same pot. Yours is a little special."
Chibi Maruko-chan didn't say anything. When it met a stranger, it changed its personality and became silent.
"Yeah, I made it myself. No one at home knows how to cook. It's far from town, and I can't let my stomach suffer, so I had to improve the robot."
Liang suddenly felt the food in her mouth taste even better. She stuffed a large piece of sweet and sour pork into her mouth. The crispy skin was coated with a thick, sweet and sour sauce. The meat was cut thinly, but when she chewed it, she felt like she was eating a large piece of meat. "Can you make one for me? I live alone and often work overtime. It's very troublesome to hire a maid."
When Chibi Maruko heard the praise, she pretended to be dumb and did not move, just like any other robot.
Su Xiaocai guessed that it was very excited inside. Its roommates praised it every day, and it would spin in circles every time.
If others praise it, it will be very happy.
"I don't have the conditions or the tools right now." Su Xiaocai said regretfully, "If there was a repair shop I could use, I could build one."
When Sister Liang heard this, she thought it was easy. "Sure, we teachers here have our own maintenance rooms. You can just use mine."
"That's not good! I'm a student and a physician's assistant."
"Then there's no need to be afraid, since you're not an employed person. Come and use me when you're free. When you go back to school, I'll have a good cook to use." Sister Liang patted the little meatball who was guarding the table. Its head was quite round, and its smooth texture felt great.
Su Xiaocai took a sip of the juice, and the sweet taste burst into her mouth, making her secretly happy.
She was just trying it out, and the results were encouraging.
Although there are many mechanics and repairmen on the 022 Mechanical Planet, they are exposed to similar types of mechas day after day, and their thinking has gradually become rigid.
Afraid that these people cannot keep up with the pace of mecha updates, the Mechanical Planet must have professors to impart the latest knowledge.
Su Xiaocai guessed that since Sister Liang had a private maintenance room in the school, she would most likely be able to get an independent studio here.
Sure enough, she did.
"Thank you, Mr. Liang. I'll be welcome then."
After eating and drinking, Su Xiaocai took Xiaowanzi back to the room and told it, "Do you want to stay in the dormitory or go out with me? If you go out, you may have to stay in the space more often."
Chibi Maruko: "I want to follow you. I am your babysitter. I will follow you all the way and protect you."
Su Xiaocai hugged Xiaowanzi and said, "Next time I will change you to a softer shell so that you can hold it more comfortably."
"Your account contains the money I earned from advertising. You can use it." Xiaowanzi changed into shy mode and covered her face with her hands. "Oh, I can finally support Caicai. Old man Su can no longer block your pocket money."
Su Xiaocai was so amused by Xiaowanzi's antics, "You're quite good at this. What kind of advertisement did you take?"
Looking back at the ads Chibi Maruko has taken, they’re all about seasonings, knives, kitchen appliances…
No wonder there were several new unpacked electrical appliances in the dormitory. Su Xiaocai thought that Wu Qingqing and the others were too idle, so they bought them online and gave them to Chibi Maruko-chan.
