Seven years have passed, and Wei San is still the same poor Wei San, and he has never found any way to get rich.
This world is too fucked up, and the level of technology is very advanced. There is basically no market for the things that Wei San can make here. The first time he went to the city to sell the tricycle was entirely because Jin Ke was curious, and Jin Ke didn't buy her tricks afterwards. What's worse
is that occasionally when she wants to get some of Jin Ke's desserts at school, she always has an unfathomable expression on her face that says "I know", and then walks away with the food.
Because she is young and can't work in a store, she relies on repairing household appliances for people on weekends to make a living.
However, because most household appliances can be repaired, her repair scope is limited, and the money she earns is pitiful.
This is a "job" that she has worked hard to find.
With the tuition fees for each semester, plus the daily food and energy for the "electric car", Wei San lived a tight life, so he did not leave the abandoned building near the garbage dump. He just added some second-hand furniture to improve his living environment.
Even so, Wei San did not give up self-study to become a mecha master. She read all the books related to mecha in the library. Since she could not afford to buy materials for actual practice, she simulated in her mind.
...
"Here." Jin Ke waved to Wei San at the door of her house.
Wei San came to help Jin Ke's mother repair the music box. He said it was an antique that he found and it became useless after playing for a few days.
"It can be repaired." Wei San took it and looked at it.
Jin Ke raised his hand to transfer money to Wei San, but she stopped him: "50% off."
"The sun rises from the west?"
"I have a request. Lend me the book you read a few days ago for two days." Wei San had finished reading all the books in the library, and he couldn't afford to buy new books. Books in this world are extremely expensive.
"Okay." Jin Ke re-entered the star coins.
While Wei San was repairing the music box, Jin Ke was designing the joints of the mecha next to him. This was his homework for the next major exam.
"The bearing was chosen wrong." Wei San glanced in his direction, lowered his head to reassemble the disassembled music box, and said casually.
Jin Ke paused: "That's what the book says."
Wei San clicked his tongue, but his hands moved quickly: "I see that you are usually very flexible, but you get dumbfounded when it comes to mechas. Commanding may be more suitable for you."
She just said it casually, but Jin Ke put down the unformed mecha joint in her hand: "You are right, mecha master may not be suitable for me."
After the last screw was installed, Wei San turned on the switch, and the music box immediately made music.
Wei San whistled: "Okay."
She turned her head and looked at Jin Ke: "What did you say just now?"
Jin Ke stood up suddenly: "I decided to study conducting! Someone as smart as me can't fail to achieve success."
Wei San glanced at him: "3212 Academy doesn't have this major."
"3212 Star doesn't have it, but other big stars definitely have it. I want to move and transfer." Jin Ke immediately called his parents outside.
"What's wrong?" The Jin family couple came in and asked.
"Mom and Dad, we're moving to Liuji Star today. I want to study conducting."
"Ah?" Dad Jin was stunned for a while and nodded, "Okay, go if you want."
Seven years ago, when Wei San first met Jin Ke, his family was still a traditional company specializing in garbage disposal on 3212, and was considered a small wealthy family on this 3212 star. As a result, under the reform led by Jin Ke, the Jin family has gone beyond 3212 Stars. It is said that they have already mastered one-third of the garbage disposal business in the Federation, and there is a trend of expansion, and they are rich.
Although Jin Ke is still as greedy as ever.
In comparison, Wei San, who is still an adult soul, is simply weak.
"Then I'll go pack up." Jin's mother was about to turn around and leave.
"Mom, no need, we'll leave now, and we can still catch up with the starship. We can buy things there." Jin Ke said proudly. He has been fighting to become a mecha master for the past seven years. He has been relying on his photographic memory to barely keep up with the progress of school. He didn't even realize that he might be more suitable for command.
The family left as soon as they said they would, and the aircraft was already waiting in the air.
"I'm leaving, take care." Jin Ke held Wei San's hand affectionately, "I know there must be a reason why you stay here, we will meet again."
Jin·Nao Bu Wangzhe·Ke: Gao Ren's family is hiding their identities on Planet 3212, and he can't expose it.
Wei San: "???"
Wei San just watched Jin Ke's family leave in a flying vehicle, waving his hand without a cloud or a star coin.
...
Jin Ke's departure did not affect Wei San's impoverished life too much, but he lost someone to talk to. She is not a real 14-year-old child. Jin Ke is precocious and there is no generation gap between them.
"I watched the group fight this morning." The teacher stood at the front and covered his chest with his hands. "I was so sad! You didn't use any moves at all and were beaten into a panic by the class next door. The way you acted like a wolf was so cool, so cool that the principal came to talk to me."
He started to criticize the students from the front.
"What are you doing? You can't move when surrounded by two people?"
"Where is your energy in beating up classmates? I see people from the next class are enjoying beating you up."
"I, Li Pi, have taught so many classes of students, and this class is definitely the worst. You panicked when you were in a group fight. What are you going to do with mechas in the future?"
"You can't even beat the class from the next door, let alone go to military school. I think you'd better go pick up shit."
The teacher criticized them all and changed the subject: "But Wei San performed well this morning. He was quite ruthless. I like him."
Wei San stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the back of the head of the classmate in front of him, his hands crossed behind his back, unmoved.
Sure enough, the next second Li Pi came over and poked her shoulder with a finger: "You took four people from the next class to the infirmary and they lay in the treatment cabin for half an hour. I was very happy at first. But if you don't improve your strength, it's useless no matter how smart you are!"
Seven years have passed, and their class has gone from hundreds of people to less than a hundred people now. Wei San's grades are now in the upper middle of the class. According to the teacher's experience, she may fluctuate around B level in the graduation test. In two years, she will graduate from 3212 College. When the time comes, she will test her perception. If she is B level or above, she can apply for military academy. If her perception reaches A level, she can enter the five major military academies.
Their daily training is now to improve perception. According to the teacher, the better the physical fitness, the higher the perception level.
Li Pi always felt that Wei San had more than this strength, but Wei San maintained a first-class level of skills, and his skills were neither up nor down, so he often targeted Wei San.
Seeing Wei San's stubborn look, Li Pi was annoyed and simply waved his hand: "Go back to the classroom and read books."
...
As soon as school was over, Wei San rode her "Bayor" back home. In the past few years, she has increased the speed of the car again and again. Now it only takes half an hour to get from school to her residence.
The government has set up a relief house near the garbage dump for people who make a living by collecting garbage. They only need to pay a small amount of star coins every month. The original owner of Wei San's body had been living there with the dumb old man, but the back was occupied by someone.
Now Wei San has no place to live even if she has the money to pay. The government stipulates that each person can only rent one house, but this relief house is too small. She often brings back some cheap materials to practice, but there is no room for them. She would rather be more comfortable in this abandoned building. Now she not only has a bedroom, but also a dedicated studio, although it is only separated by plastic film.
Those people nearby don’t come here, as if they are afraid of something. Wei San has never interacted with them, so she doesn’t know. Anyway, she is happy and comfortable. It’s just that there are too many snakes, rats, insects and ants here, but she has already dealt with them.
Taking out the materials from the basket, Wei San walked quickly towards the studio.
She was going to make a mini mecha to practice, but she couldn’t afford it with Youjin, so she bought Youjin, which has similar performance. From the name, you can tell that it is a fake. Even so, Wei San saved up a long time to buy a small piece.
All the knowledge about mechas is in the hands of the federal government. Before entering the military academy, there is nothing useful to find on the ordinary optical network. Wei San has studied all the books in the library of 3212 School in the past seven years, but the level of mechas she can make is only as high as that of a reserve mecha master. Fortunately,
Wei San has a deep understanding of mecha theory in her original world, but there is a lack of special materials like Yujin, so today she wants to make a mini mecha, which not only looks like a complete mecha, but can also attack. It’s just that the money is limited, so it is estimated that the height of the mecha will be only a dozen centimeters, a real mini mecha.
Sitting at the table, Wei San lowered her head and quickly assembled the mecha shell she had made. The sequence was deeply engraved in her mind, and she could assemble it with her eyes closed. The most important part was in her left hand. It took her a year to make a laser gun, which could penetrate ordinary metals and guns, but was ineffective against free metal.
After everything was assembled, Wei San carried the mecha out of the studio, pressed the control switch, and let the mini mecha aim at the wall and fire a shot.
The laser gun hit the wall, and a hole instantly appeared.
Wei San lowered his head and continued to press it, and another hole appeared on the wall. When he pressed it again, the mini mecha's gun had stopped responding.
Wei San sighed. After only two shots, the laser energy was not enough.
There was no end to this impoverished life.
She sighed and turned around to go back to the studio.
'Crack——'
Wei San heard the tiny sound: "..."
No way, it's just two holes, the wall shouldn't fall down.
Wei San, who had just finished comforting herself, immediately heard countless 'crack' sounds, and then the wall behind her collapsed to the ground, the floor of the entire abandoned building was shaking, and the splashing dust made her cough.
Wei San raised her arms to cover her mouth and nose, and turned her head to look back.
When she saw this, cold sweat broke out all over her body.
——There was a red-eyed monster about three meters high behind the wall.
At that moment, Wei San thought of a word: insect beast.
This thing is a bit like a mutated and enlarged version of a wolf, panting, and staring at Wei San with bloodshot eyes.
Without having time to think about why such a thing would appear here, Wei San immediately ran away, but the mutant quickly caught up with her.
Hearing the sound of breaking air from behind, Wei San stopped abruptly, instinctively rolled on the ground, and successfully avoided the attack, but unexpectedly, the mutant swung another claw at her the next second, and she was unable to dodge and was scratched on the back.
Wei San didn't have time to feel the pain, and desperately ran towards the studio and grabbed a knife.
At this moment, the mutant had already approached, and Wei San had no place to retreat. When it poked its head to bite, Wei San seized the opportunity, jumped up with the help of the wall, and stabbed the knife into the mutant's eyes.
"Roar--"
The mutant roared at Wei San, and the fishy smell rushed towards him, and its claws slapped Wei San away.
Wei San felt like her body was about to break. She tried to get up but failed. She could only lie on the ground and watch the mutant coming over.
If only she had paid more attention during the initial training, Engineer Wei would rarely regret it.
The mutant poked its head out to bite her again. Just when Wei San thought she was going to die from its mouth, the mutant's head suddenly fell off, splashing her with blood.
Wei San: "..."
Damn, the blood of this thing really stinks!
The author has something to say: Wei San: Not only is the road to wealth gone, but now I'm almost dead.
