Although Shen Sihan is usually quite gentle with Lian Han, she becomes a strict teacher once she gets into teaching mode.
This was Shen Sihan's profound realization a week later when she examined Lian Han. She had simulated three battles with Lian Han as the armor maker, and each time she received harsh criticism. Shen Sihan was intolerant of flaws, and her criticisms made Lian Han doubt whether she was even suitable to be an armor maker.
Despite her frustration, Lian Han listened even more attentively to Shen Sihan's explanation of how to modulate mecha data; that was just her competitive nature.
As he delved deeper into his studies, Lian Han gradually discovered that modifying mechs wasn't actually that difficult. It was just that the process of thoroughly understanding the knowledge he had memorized in his freshman year and transforming it into something he could truly master was somewhat challenging.
Once she fully grasped it, the subsequent problems were easily solved. As someone with over 90% control over her mental energy, card drawing was no challenge for her. Even Han was confident that as long as she knew when to adjust which card and to what extent, execution would be no problem at all.
Therefore, it wasn't long before Shen Sihan discovered that Lian Han's practical skills were frighteningly strong, but she lacked experience—she had only been involved in armor making for a year, so it would be strange if she didn't lack experience.
Shen Sihan grew increasingly satisfied with Lian Han. However, if Lian Han made any mistakes, she would still point them out without hesitation.
Lian Han was practicing with Jiang Chenrui that day when he was suddenly called off the Skynet. "What's wrong, Aunt Chen?"
Chen Sihan gently patted the girl's shoulder. "We're going back to the capital planet."
Didn't we say we'd stay on Biyue Star a little longer? Lian Han was surprised. "So soon? Did something happen?"
"It's nothing serious, just some guests have arrived." Shen Sihan smiled, but her heart was filled with worry.
"Guests? Are they Aunt Shen's guests, or guests of the Lance family?"
Once again marveling at her sensitivity, Shen Sihan said helplessly, "It wouldn't hurt to tell you. They're guests from the Federation."
"The Federation?" Lian Han asked in confusion. What did that have to do with her?
“Let’s talk as we walk. On the starship, as long as it’s not a space jump, it won’t affect your studies in Skynet.”
"Leave now?" Lian Han was surprised again, then called Xing Ye back. The little guy was getting restless; ever since she let him out, he'd been running around everywhere.
Lian Han only turned a blind eye to him because he hadn't caused any trouble. But now that they were leaving, they couldn't leave the little guy behind.
"Is there anything to tidy up?"
Lian Han shook his head.
"The car is already outside, let's go. Let's go to Star Harbor first."
As Lian Han was led away by her, this reminded her of her aunt Ling Wei from the Ling family, who was also a decisive and efficient person.
However, the two are still different. Ling Wei is decisive in everything she does, while Shen Sihan is usually calm and collected, but she will never drag her feet if something important happens.
This made Lian Han even more curious about the guest from the Federation. "Old man, can you guess who he is?"
Old Xing paused for a moment, then said, "[The only thing that could make a 3S powerhouse so anxious is an envoy from an alien race.]"
Alien races? Lian Han frowned. The vast interstellar space wasn't limited to just humans and insectoids; all other races were collectively referred to as alien races by the Federation. But that was all she knew; even that was something the old man had casually mentioned when he talked about the Night People.
Many of the Federation's citizens were unaware of the existence of the alien race. Therefore, after a brief silence, Lian Han said, "[If you can say it, then say it; if you can't, then don't leave it half-said. It's making me anxious.]"
Old Xing, who was about to explain, heard this and knew that the girl still remembered what happened last time. He chuckled and said, "[There's nothing I can't say. After reaching S-rank, you're qualified to come into contact with alien races. It's just that you're underage and still in school, so no one has told you this.]"
[The alien races are a fairly large group, but because their star system is too far from the Federation, they don't often appear there, which is why you find them unfamiliar. They are diverse, but the strongest alien races are undoubtedly two groups—the Ice Clan and the Shadow Clan. The Shadow Pei family is a hybrid of Shadow Clan and human.]
[Is Xiao Mei of mixed race?]
[It is said that several hundred years ago, the Pei family ancestor fell in love with a member of the Shadow Clan, and their child possessed characteristics of both clans, thus passing down their bloodline. However, several hundred years have passed, and the bloodline in the Pei family is now quite diluted.]
[What do the Shadow Pei family do? Assassins or bodyguards?]
Old Xing chuckled, "Both are fine. Your little Mei is keeping things very secret; you'll see when she explodes. Let's just talk about the other races for now."
[No one has ever counted the true number of alien races, but they are indeed led by the Ice Clan and the Shadow Clan. However, two tigers cannot share the same mountain, and these two races are not on good terms, frequently engaging in conflict. This includes the war between the humans and the insectoids, with one side supporting the insectoids and the other supporting us humans. A decade or so ago, there was a period when the battlefield was incredibly lively; these two races fought even more fiercely than we did.]
[Do the Shadow Clan support the Federation?]
[You're mistaken. The Ice Clan supports the Federation; if this guest is from another race, then he must be an envoy from the Ice Clan.]
Lian Han raised an eyebrow. [If that's the case, how did the former head of the Pei family fall in love with someone from an enemy clan? And how could the Federation tolerate him?]
[Of course, they couldn't tolerate it. But thanks to the exceptional talent of his offspring, the Pei family became a prominent family, though they always had troops stationed there. Later, for some unknown reason, they declined, and now the Pei family probably only has Pei Yuan and her two sons left.] Old Man Xing finished speaking with a sigh, [Tsk. We've gone off-topic again. Are you even listening to me?]
[Listen. Continue.]
[The Ice Clan are cold and taciturn, the kind of people who—well, you could compare Ling Yue to them, except Ling Yue doesn't know how to communicate, while the Ice Clan are indifferent to everything and disdain to speak.]
[Why bring up Ling Yue for no reason?] Lian Han asked, his tone displeased.
[Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. He's just a bit quiet, much better than the Ice Clan.] Old Man Xing immediately changed his tune.
This time, Lian Han didn't say anything more, but looked at Shen Sihan and asked, "Aunt Shen, who exactly is this guest?"
"It's neither human nor insect. It comes from another species."
"Another one?" Lian Han blinked, feigning confusion.
"You can call them aliens, or you can call them the Ice Clan. If you encounter blue-haired, white-eyed people on the Imperial Capital Star, stay far away from them," Shen Sihan warned worriedly.
Lian Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Chen. I'll just go to school when I get back to the capital, and then I won't be coming out much. Nothing will happen to me."
Shen Sihan wanted to persuade her to go home, but in the end she didn't say anything. This child was just as opinionated as an adult, and she knew what she was doing. Trying to persuade her too much might backfire.
"But the alien race has come, so why are you going back? It's not your place to entertain them."
"It's not my turn, but it is the Lance family's turn. Roy Lance is working in an outer space and can't come back."
"So how does this rotation work?"
