Chapter 2



Principle 1 is the trump card of the 1248 Military Academy.

The mental strength level is A and the physical strength level is A.

It is the undisputed number one in the mecha combat department.

It is said that this young master seemed to be from a large family on the capital planet, but somehow he ended up on the remote and poor 1248th planet.

Yuanze glanced at Gu Qi who was looking lazy in front of her and walked past her without saying a word.

Gu Qi shrugged his shoulders out of habit, not caring about his attitude. It had always been like that anyway.

When I was about to step into the room, I heard the footsteps behind me stop.

"Are you still going to do it as usual?"

Gu Qi turned around and stared at Yuan Zeyi's eyes which were always as black as ink.

He paused for a second, tilted his head and smiled: "What are you talking about?"

Yuanze looked at the grinning man in front of him expressionlessly, turned around and left without saying a word.

Gu Qi looked at his back, and the curve of his mouth gradually disappeared.

[Test completed, overall physical fitness level is D]

After testing all items, Gu Qi stretched his back after a long absence.

He rolled his weak shoulders and frowned, "This test is still as exhausting as ever."

After walking out of the physical fitness test room, there is a white intelligent passage in front of me. The white lines on the wall that are glowing blue are changing regularly.

Gu Qi walked all the way to the door before hearing a mechanical voice:

【Please confirm your identity】

"1248 Military Academy, 100th Mechanical Class 1 - Gu Qi."

After saying that, the door flickered and then opened.

[Identification is correct, registration completed]

[Mental strength C level, physical strength D level]

This is the last step of the competency assessment, and the level is entered into the federal system. This is also to prevent the emergence of undocumented persons and allow the federal center to grasp the identity and level of all federal citizens.

Gu Qi raised his hand and glanced at the computer which showed no message, then staggered towards the library.

She found the "Federation Instrument Manufacturing Manual" that she had read last time, and sat in the corner of the rest area with the book.

Without hesitation, I turned to page 275, where a title with three big words was printed at the top: Sleep Monitor.

As she watched, she thought: How can I increase the number of times the sleep monitor is used when the equipment is limited?

Gu Qi has always had an old problem - insomnia.

For so many years, she has been using instruments to maintain her sleep.

However, since the sleep monitor made by Gu Qi himself was assembled from some worthless mechanical parts picked up from recycling yards, it could not be compared with the real sleep monitor in terms of performance and durability.

The Gu Qi brand sleep monitor can only be used five times, so every once in a while, she has to go to the recycling yard to find usable parts and make the next sleep monitor as a backup.

Some time ago, in this "All Federation Instrument Manufacturing Manual", Gu Qi discovered that there is a substance called cloud gold that can extend the service life of instruments. Cloud gold usually appears in the belly of the mecha's cabin and plays a role in maintaining the mecha.

However, discarded mechas rarely appear in the recycling yard of Planet 1248. They should have been transported to the research institute of Planet 1248 through specific channels for special destruction.

Because each mecha retains some of the user's information, in order to prevent external invaders, the Federation uses a high-security protection system when destroying mechas.

From the perspective of peace throughout the federation, this system gives peace of mind to the citizens of the federation.

But for Gu Qi, this would mean destroying her life and cutting off her retreat.

Therefore, she is also continuing to look for ways to extend the service life of machinery without using cloud gold.

At least, let her survive on this poor planet.

"Have you run out of book borrowings for this month?" A familiar voice came from above my head.

Gu Qi raised his head and greeted: "Principal Li."

After saying that, he continued to read with his head down.

After three seconds, seeing that she didn't want to communicate, Principal Li punched Gu Qi on the head expressionlessly. Seeing her painful expression, he continued with satisfaction, "Have you considered what I told you last time?"

"I've thought about it." She glanced at the computer that sent the message, then closed the book and placed it on the small table in front of her.

"Well, you should prepare recently..."

"I'm not going to go. Principal, please find someone else." Gu Qi finished speaking and stood up calmly.

Principal Li was still thinking about how to briefly tell her the precautions, but was choked by this rejection.

"What did you say? You're not going?!"

Perhaps because he was too shocked, his voice was much higher, causing the students who were reading nearby to look at him with dissatisfaction. However, when they saw that it was the principal, they quickly lowered their heads.

Just kidding, Principal Li is the most violent!

He is so powerful that he is the boss and he can do whatever he wants.

Gu Qi took the book and walked to the bookshelf he found when he came here, and put the book on it.

Principal Li followed her and questioned, "Why don't you go? This is the only chance to enter a famous military academy. Many people want to go but can't. Do you know that..."

As Gu Qi walked towards the school gate, he listened to the principal's admonitions, which were like a devilish voice. Finally, he couldn't help but stop and turn around to face him.

"Principal, you see, I often don't come to class. This is not a good student."

Principal Li retorted: "That's because you finished the mechanics course ahead of time."

"My mental power is only C-level, which is not good enough for 1248 stars. It will bring shame to our school."

Principal Li said sternly: "Student Gu Qi, you can't underestimate yourself. You are an excellent student!"

Gu Qi: "...Thank you for the compliment, but my physical fitness is only D-level. I will be beaten to death."

Principal Li was silent for a moment, then asked, "What's your physical fitness level?"

"D-level." A determined look on his face.

"…Say it again."

"D-Class!"

Principal Li was furious and grabbed Gu Qi's ears and said, "Damn it, you little bastard, do you think I'm a fool? Don't think I don't know that you have been hiding your abilities. Your physical fitness is either A or S, and you think I can't see it!"

Gu Qi's face was crumpled in pain. After pulling Principal Li away with her hands, she rubbed her ears innocently: "How did you know that?" She thought that only Principle One knew in the whole school.

To say this is to admit that one is hiding one's incompetence.

"I saw it!"

You can tell at a glance whether you have used your full strength during the test.

"Oh, you're peeping."

Principal Li touched his nose awkwardly, then said confidently, "I am concerned about the safety of the students."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong and said unhappily, "Don't change the subject for me. Are you going or not?"

Gu Qi: "If you don't want to go, can't you find someone else? In principle, it's fine."

Principal Li: "He has his own arrangements. Tell me why you refused. If you don't give me a reason, I won't let you go back today!"

Gu Qi sighed and lowered her head slightly. The long hair on her forehead somewhat obscured her eyes, and her expression could not be seen clearly in the light behind her.

After a long while, she thought about how Principal Li had taken care of her over the years. She didn't know what she remembered. She concealed the meaningful look in her eyes, raised her head, and said firmly, "Principal, you should have known when you picked me up that I would never leave 1248 Stars again."

Upon hearing this, Principal Li's eyes flickered.

"I'm not very ambitious, you should find someone else."

Gu Qi bowed and said, "Lin Xun is still waiting for me. I'll leave first."

Looking at Gu Qi's thin but upright back gradually moving away, Principal Li seemed to see the malnourished child again.

Gu Qi and Lin Xun met at the school gate and walked towards Wuneng Street.

"Why are you so slow? Wasn't the test completed a long time ago?" Lin Xun asked casually.

"Nothing, just reading for a while." Gu Qi didn't want Lin Xun to know that he had rejected an opportunity to go to a famous military academy.

After all, Lin Xun had always dreamed of going to the First Federal Military Academy, but unfortunately her qualifications did not meet the requirements, and she did not even have enough money to go to the Capital Star.

Fortunately, Lin Xun was not very curious and did not continue to ask.

The two of them walked to Gate 12. Gu Qi was about to say goodbye and continue walking forward as usual, but Lin Xun grabbed his arm.

"Don't go. Come to my house today. I have something to tell you." As he said this, he pulled her towards the door.

Without waiting for Gu Qi to say a word, Lin Xun opened the door and pushed her in.

"Surprise!!"

When the streamers and fireworks were set off, it took Gu Qi a while to react. He saw that the small room was full of people.

Lin Xun walked up to her with a 6-inch cake in his hand: "Warmly congratulate Comrade Gu Qi on his tenth anniversary in our Wuneng Street family!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!" everyone echoed.

After hearing what she said, Gu Qi realized that she had lived here for such a long time.

"Hey, don't cry. You're making everyone feel awkward." Lin Xun teased her after seeing her remain silent for a long time.

Gu Qi rolled his eyes at her and smiled brilliantly at everyone: "Thank you, everyone!"

"Oh, what's there to thank for? We should be thanking you!"

"That's right. If it weren't for you, Qiqi, the people in Wuneng Street would continue to be bullied."

"You usually help us a lot. This cake is not that big. We are embarrassed!"

"Sister Qiqi, you must continue to protect me in the future!"

"You little brat, you think this is a fight!"

Gu Qi chuckled, looking at these ordinary people in front of him. Everyone's abilities might be laughed at when they go out, but everyone is still full of hope for life. They don't give up on themselves or complain about the world. They work hard to find the value of their existence in this world where ability is respected.

That night, all the shops on Wuneng Street stopped operating. Everyone was chatting and laughing, eating small cakes and some low-quality food with extremely bad taste. But the lights on the entire Wuneng Street at this moment were like a galaxy engraved in Gu Qi's heart, and even for a long time afterwards, it was her most lasting and nostalgic memory.

Late at night, Gu Qi was still making the next sleeping device. She had to finish it today, otherwise she still wouldn't be able to sleep well tomorrow night.

Trying hard to ignore her aching brain, she concentrated on the production.

Outside, the night enveloped the entire 1248 stars. There was not a single star in the vast night sky, giving people a groggy feeling.

Suddenly, a beam of light flashed across the sky, and then a small starship came closer and silently stopped in an empty space outside Wuneng Street.

Gu Qi, who was still assembling, paused and suddenly raised his head to look outside the door.

The next second, her figure disappeared from the house.

All I could see was an elusive shadow running rapidly from the deepest point of Incompetent Street towards No. 12.
