Chapter 49 Go Home Often
While the knowledge of Skynet mechas was being popularized, the assessment of students in the direction of real mecha masters was also in full swing.
This time, the instructor gave them three hours to complete a single part. Natata was working on a small part for an A-class mecha leg. It was a crucial moment: the final step of adding the mu-mu-mi liquid to shape it. Nervous sweat formed on her forehead, but her hands remained steady as she poured the mu-mu-mi liquid.
About 5 minutes after pouring it, a cloud of smoke rose and Natata waved her hand to disperse it.
The last step is success.
A beautiful and complete mecha part appeared in front of her eyes. Natata pushed open the door of the single room to indicate that she was done.
There was still half an hour of spare time, and the instructors had to check the assessment results one by one. Natata was allowed to leave the room first.
She looked around, found where Xu Lingqu was, walked straight over and smiled.
“It turned out pretty well.”
Looking at her like this, it seemed that their group wouldn't have to worry about getting extra points. Jin made room for the hero Natata to sit down.
"What are you guys talking about?" Natata asked curiously. The assessment was over, and she felt relieved. They were supposed to be returning to the large training base to train with Xu Lingqu and the others after the assessment, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to get to know them better.
Xu Xizhen enthusiastically continued, "Mechas, those Skynet replicas. You're the real pro, after all. We were just talking about the three S-class mechas."
Natata's smile faded a little: "I see. I'm still just a student, not a real professional yet."
The road to becoming a mecha master is long and arduous, and today's assessment is just a small threshold. She warned herself in her heart.
A few people gathered together to chat about the characteristics of some mechas. For example, Master Green Crystal Stone's mecha is actually focused on speed. Luo En likes to build heavy mechas. Master Qin's mecha is very fancy and can be equipped with multiple weapons...
When the assessment was over, the instructor in the mecha division announced the results, and Natata was second.
"Well done." said the instructor.
These three points were a solid addition to Xu Lingqu's team, and their rare half-day break quickly came to an end. With a wave of his hand, Kion led a group of students back to the capital.
He was extremely satisfied with the results of this assessment. He was in high spirits and had a smile on his face when he led the students back to the base for a cross-country race.
This made the students suspicious that he had arranged something to ambush and kill the students on the way, and they were worried even when they returned cross-country.
"Please put away those big white teeth of yours." Instructor Chen looked at the poor students and decided to speak up for them.
Kaion said aggrievedly: "I learned this from you. You just smile at them when you have nothing to do. The students are very friendly to you and like you very much."
Instructor Chen glanced at him and said, "It's not about the smile, it's about the person."
Instructor Kion was heartbroken, but unfortunately none of the students knew about it.
On the cross-country return journey, we arrived in the afternoon. Instructor Chen added some training content and let us go after the training.
After the practice, the students, fearing some conspiracy, stood there like wooden stakes, afraid to leave. He repeatedly assured them, "You can really sleep well tonight. There won't be any more unexpected situations."
"Who knows if there's something fishy going on!" Xu Xizhen really couldn't believe it this time.
After hearing the promise, Xu Lingqu left directly.
Jin was skeptical and chased after him, "Commander, what are your thoughts?"
"The instructor is quite satisfied with our assessment this time. There is nothing to worry about." Xu Lingqu walked towards the infirmary without looking back.
As soon as the door opened, Dr. Li, who was used to Xu Lingqu coming every day and rarely looked up, raised his head in surprise this time.
"This time he didn't faint and didn't look like he was about to die when he was carried in. He really has a special physique and it seems he is making rapid progress." Doctor Li didn't know where they were doing. He only knew that the two instructor colleagues who loved to make trouble had dragged this large group of students outside again.
She asked many times if she really didn't need to accompany him, and each time she got the answer that it was not necessary.
Dr. Li was scared because the two men carried the bodies of several students back to her, but fortunately nothing happened.
Xu Lingqu's condition wasn't serious; it was still just the fatigue and soreness from overtraining. This time, it was actually quite mild, and shouldn't have happened, but for her, walking into the infirmary had become like muscle memory.
The feet naturally rushed inward.
Xu Lingqu was sitting there, and an old Earth song "Go Home Often" that was very appropriate for the occasion suddenly popped up in his mind.
This was one of the few moments in her life when she felt she was quite humorous.
It’s a pity that interstellar humans don’t understand this joke.
In the dormitory, Lin Xiao and Liu Zheng introduced Natata to this dormitory, which had basically nothing to say.
One of them habitually smiles, while the other habitually keeps a poker face. Although it looks awkward, there is still a sense of contrast.
Natata gave them a genuine smile, and just then Xu Lingqu pushed the door open and came back.
"Xu Lingqu." She suddenly stood up and called out Xu Lingqu's name, which made Xu Lingqu stand there in a daze.
“…You want to call me for something?” Xu Lingqu asked.
Natata realized that her actions were a bit abrupt and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, it's okay, it's okay, I was just... excited for a moment."
But after listening to Lin Xiao's stories about Xu Lingqu's deeds in just half a month, her admiration and good impression of Xu Lingqu reached a new level.
From these descriptions, Natata always felt that Xu Lingqu was like a bamboo, which was tough when growing, and sharp with a hint of fragrance when made into a weapon.
"Yeah." Seeing that she was fine, Xu Lingqu cleaned up and went to bed on time as usual. As she took off her combat uniform, she thought of something and turned to look at Natata, "Are you going to train with us in the future?"
Natata shook her head. "Our instructor said that we focus on classes, supplemented by physical fitness assessments. We live with you, but we don't train together."
"That's great." Lin Xiao sighed sincerely, thinking about the students who were studying mecha masters. He was envious at first, then felt lucky that he didn't have to be sent to the mines. But in the end, there was a turn of events. Facts proved that he had to be envious.
The only group of non-combat students who were able to escape Kion's clutches.
Seeing Xu Lingqu clean up and wash up, the three of them also cleaned up and washed up and went to bed. This trial training period cured Lin Xiao's previous habit of staying up late.
Severely terrified of sleep deprivation, she now cherishes every minute in bed.
When it was time to turn off the lights, Liu Zheng got out of bed and turned off the lights manually. Before turning off the lights, she suddenly walked towards Xu Lingqu's bed.
"The day of fixed-point shooting training should be here soon." Liu Zheng was still thinking about the last time Xu Lingqu threatened to defeat her in the event she was most confident in.
Xu Lingqu thought about Earth Time quite a bit today, and yawned as he replied, "Always prepared."
