Chapter 89
Life was peaceful and tranquil.
Because both of the insects in the house particularly love the balcony, the thoughtful housekeeper, Merck, has arranged many flowers and plants there, and set up a pair of soft sofas that are likely to make the insects lose their interest in playing and become complacent.
At this moment, the male insect, who is currently studying overtime due to his heavy academic workload, is reading a book on the balcony, while the Commander is reading a newspaper beside him.
While wiping a vase, the housekeeper, Merck, overheard a conversation between two insects.
"Could you keep this for me?"
“I remember you liked it very much.”
"Yes, but I spent a lot of time looking at it."
Toto liked the quantum computer, but he found himself becoming increasingly addicted and unable to control himself. He would always dart into the virtual StarNet whenever he had free time, which felt terrible, so he returned the quantum computer to the commander.
But the commander didn't seem to think it was a good idea. Fei chuckled softly and reassured him, "You don't need to worry about it too much."
No, that's dangerous.
Toto told him that he had forgotten to do the homework the professor had assigned because he had been looking at it so much. He gave two or three examples to prove that he didn't really need to do it.
After listening, Fei looked at him quietly with his sea-blue eyes. After a while, he put down his teacup, reached out and took Tregear's personal terminal: "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Alright, then so be it."
Toto breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the book, and stood up: "Then I'll go back to my room. Good night, sir."
After Toto left, Fei picked up his personal terminal, his eyes filled with worry.
He meant to say he was so rich that he could take whatever he wanted from Toregia, but that sounded unambitious.
Imperial Star School organized a special competition to select trainee assistants who would accompany the Imperial Capital Research Institute to the nameless planet.
The project covers a very wide range, including Professor Arnold's genetic aptitude research. The professor has no right to directly select candidates, and he himself had no intention of doing so. He mentioned it briefly in class and then never brought it up again.
Toto will need to work extremely hard to get this opportunity.
Professor Arnold adjusted his glasses and told him, "Your basic knowledge is too weak to win in a competition like this. Instead of rote memorization, why don't you get your guardian to invest some money in you as an extra supplement? Just come with me."
"Hmph, if he's unwilling to pay this fee, I... um..."
A large hand suddenly appeared, interrupting Professor Arnold's unfinished business. The female soldier grinned, put her arm around the professor's shoulder, and waved goodbye casually: "Lunchtime!"
Professor Arnold was pulled along for several steps, and he was so angry that he wanted to jump up. Unable to break free, he punched the female soldier hard: "Let go."
The female soldier snorted coldly, refusing to back down, and quickly walked forward with the professor in her arms. Toto didn't want to listen, but the two insects made no attempt to hide their conversation from him.
The usually cheerful female soldier's voice turned fierce: "Hey, I was just trying to help you, but his guardian worm is..."
The following words were spoken in a low voice, and Toto did not hear them. The female insect also realized that they were outside. Not far away, a male insect was standing. He forcibly pulled the professor into the office and slammed the door shut.
The professor seemed only angry and didn't seem to want help. Besides, he even helped the female soldier lock the door, so... there's probably no need to worry about the professor's situation.
Toto took his books to the study room.
The chubby classmate had saved him a seat early in the morning, and since the other person was also a strong competitor in this competition, he gave him a bag of snacks and immediately started watching intently, forgetting to eat or sleep.
The genetics paper covers a total of eight major subjects and several minor subjects, with a very wide range of topics.
When Toto was engrossed in studying, he suddenly felt a poke on his arm. The insectoid that poked him was actually the chubby classmate who had just received a new book and wouldn't talk to any insects until he finished reading it.
The chubby student spoke haltingly and slowly: "Tregear... um... do you know... that bug... from the group chat the other day...?"
In the group chat, a guard officer?
The chubby student didn't blink, but his face slowly turned red: "Um, he... asked me out... for tea."
Toto was taken aback at first, then frowned, his face displaying a variety of strange expressions, but he tried to restrain himself: "You mean the Zerg who use a picture of an animal sneezing as their avatar?"
The chubby student scratched his head: "Yes, he and I hit it off immediately... He asked me out... for tea, can I... go, with your friend?"
Toto recalled the unreliable face of the guard officer and seemed momentarily at a loss for words. His silence was taken as tacit agreement by the chubby classmate, and by the time he wanted to dissuade him, it was too late to speak.
He tried to contact Fei, but suddenly realized he didn't have a personal terminal, and was stunned for a moment.
