Chapter 12: Sour

Chapter 12: Sour
"What do you mean?" There were colleagues around, and Feiyi didn't want others to know, "We won't work overtime today, let's go home now. I'll tell you something first, and report to the boss when he comes back tomorrow."

Fei Yi was mysterious, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. Wu Xiao immediately chose to go home together, and they found a private restaurant to eat.

After ordering the food and making sure that no waiter had come in, Feiyi told her bestie about her conversation with Su Xiaocai today.

"What? Three thousand special..." Wu Xiao's mouth was covered by Fei Yi.

"Don't speak so loudly."

Wu Xiao lowered her voice and said, "Did the surprise come so suddenly? Could it be that an adult gave it to me... Bah, if I had achieved such a great success, I wouldn't dare to give it to a child. Without sufficient knowledge, it would just be a joke."

"Yeah, who could have thought. We adults are having a headache even getting a permanent job, but she took off right at the beginning of her life." Fei Yi sighed.

"Kids nowadays are so abnormal." Wu Xiao praised from the bottom of her heart and was happy for Feiyi. Life is full of twists and turns. Now that this order is completed, Feiyi will be officially listed as a lawyer.

Feiyi glanced at her and said, "I don't allow you to speak of our bread and butter parents like that."

"We?" Wu Xiao asked eagerly, "So are you planning to ask me to do this with you?"

"Well, the boss will definitely call for help when the time comes. Since he has chosen me as his assistant from the beginning, the helper must not be other lawyers. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to bypassing me to do this. The boss is not that dishonest."

Wu Xiao hugged Fei Yi excitedly, "Sister, thank you, even if we become rich, we will never forget each other. From now on, you are my aunt."

Fei Yi: "..."

Wu Xiao: "You are decisive enough to get such a big order. Let me toast to you, the future great lawyer. Can I order a beer to celebrate?"

"No, the alcohol here is so expensive, why don't you go to the convenience store and buy two cans and drink them at my house."

“You know how to save money.”

"Please describe me as pragmatic, thank you."

After talking to her bestie, Feiyi, who was still feeling a little dizzy, felt more at ease.

They didn't drink much that night, they just chatted and enjoyed the future.

Finally, Wu Xiao and I stayed overnight, and we went to work together.

The next day Feiyi calmly reported to Zhang Ruikai.

Zhang Ruikai was stunned halfway through listening, and he was not much calmer than Feiyi when she first found out.

After Feiyi finished explaining, he reminded her, "Do it well. Remember to help me arrange a meeting with Miss Su. Let our expert group evaluate it as soon as possible and submit it to the Patent Office as soon as possible."

"I understand. Thank you for your support, boss."

Zhang Ruikai nodded, and Fei Yi left his office.

After the door closed, Zhang Ruikai looked at some of Su Xiaocai's briefing materials again and decided to call his old friend to ask about the situation.

It was such a secret that she didn't reveal any of it. Did she want to see his shocked look?

Almost as soon as Zhang Ruikai called, the call was answered.

Father Su, who was repotting rare plants in the constant temperature room, quickly put down the pots, adjusted his voice first, and greeted in a calm tone, "Busy man, you have time to look for me."

"Tsk, you're not as good as me, the big farmer. We all said that you like being a father and spoiling your daughter, and you might raise an ungrateful girl. We were wrong. Tell me honestly, is that mechanical arm useful?"

“Hahahaha.” When his old friend praised him, Father Su grinned from ear to ear and said proudly, “It’s very useful. You don’t know. It’s like I really grew arms. Not only are they durable, but they’re also very stable. Now I can repair the mecha by myself again.”

Since he was able to repair the mecha on his own, Old Man Su has been in much better spirits and looks a few years younger.

"I'm telling you, my daughter studied this specifically for me. For this arm, I can support her for the rest of her life."

Zhang Ruikai's teeth were sore from the boasting tone, "Your daughter loves you, and you should be proud of her. You spoiled her and bought her things before, and there's nothing wrong with that. If I had such a smart daughter, I would learn from you."

"I didn't pamper her. You haven't seen how naughty she is..." Old Man Su kept chattering. Zhang Ruikai groaned and hung up the phone.

Who doesn't have a daughter?

When I think of my ten-year-old daughter at home, she instantly looks like a little scum in comparison.

As a father who loves his daughter, Zhang Ruikai feels even more sad. Other people's daughters already know how to love their fathers, but his daughter is still obsessed with watching cartoons every day. The difference is obvious.

It’s so sour, even lemon is not that sour!
He can only make more money so that his daughter can win at the starting line among ordinary people.

He can’t give Su Xiaocai’s order to anyone else now. As long as he succeeds, he can become famous overnight.

……

A week after arriving at the school, it was drizzling. Su Xiaocai took Wu Qingqing to the vegetable field, and they built a fence together wearing wide-brimmed bamboo hats that could keep out the rain.

Su Xiaocai is not only a big shot in real life, but also has many friends in the online social circle.

She sought communication with senior students from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences online.

They told her that in the fields near the military training school, wild animals were not a threat, but rabbits and mice were.

If they cannot be driven away, they will dig holes and destroy everything in the fields.

For the sake of her own small vegetable garden, Su Xiaocai first made a small fence, piled up some stones, inserted some hard bamboos horizontally and vertically, and then installed a small house.

It’s a really small house, only big enough for the little robot to serve as a lounge and charging room.

We also need to add a program to the robot to notify it if it sees a rabbit hole, snake hole, mouse hole, etc.

She likes braised rabbits. Rabbits are not protected animals and can be caught at will.

On the planet Su, she really likes to catch rabbits and eat them.
The fence was completed quickly with the help of the robot. Wu Qingqing rolled up her trouser legs and practiced qigong and flexibility movements by the ridge of the field, while Su Xiaocai went to farm.

The ground has been almost dried, and it happened to rain today, so the soil remains moist without being flooded, which is very suitable for planting.

Of course, Su Xiaocai didn't go to the fields to plant the crops herself, but to see whether the robots had planted her babies well.

The robot was concentrating on its work and seemed to make no mistakes.

Su Xiaocai nodded secretly, took out her ugly mecha with a hoe weapon, squatted down to the land where she wanted to plant Wudi bamboo, hoeed a small hole, and carefully planted the bamboo seedlings.

The bamboo seedlings were transported by Su Xiaocai from the space Newry on Su's planet. They had just passed the security check and were returned only after it was confirmed that there was no possibility of biological invasion.

After a few days, the bamboo seedlings began to wilt.

Fortunately, these bamboo seedlings were soaked in nutrient solution and were temporarily saved.

Su Xiaocai first checked the roots of the bamboo seedlings to make sure there was no rot, and then dipped them in the medicine she had specially prepared for the Wudi bamboo seedlings to strengthen their roots.

She has already adjusted the soil, so it should be able to grow well.

Su Xiaocai was afraid that the debuff of killing whatever she planted would take effect, so she also brought in robots to do the final filling.

After the planting was completed, the hoe mecha jumped lightly, landed on the ground, turned in circles, and stopped at the edge of the ridge.

Wu Qingqing happened to be next to the mecha, and when she saw it come out, she thought it was very ugly, so ugly that she wanted to call the police. But after Su Xiaocai landed on the ground in a circle, Wu Qingqing thought it looked pretty, and it was hard to imagine that the bulky mecha could make such a nimble move.

"Cai Cai, can I drive this mecha?" She was itching to touch a real mecha for a long time.

Su Xiaocai opened the hatch and jumped down, landing lightly. Wu Qingqing was full of anticipation.

"It's not that I won't let you drive it, but you don't know how to drive this mecha."

Wu Qingqing thought, aren’t all mechas similar?
Su Xiaocai opened the cockpit authority and said, "If you don't believe me, come up and try it."

After experiencing so many slapping incidents, Wu Qingqing believed in Su Xiaocai without a doubt, "I didn't disbelieve her, I was just curious about what a mecha that can't be driven looks like."

Su Xiaocai nodded and said, "Let's see. Let's try it first." Su Xiaocai was not 100% dedicated in teaching Wu Qingqing. Before she knew Wu Qingqing's character, she would not teach her without reservation.

It is not uncommon for a teacher to starve his apprentice to death.

However, this mecha is the oldest one among the mechas she has not eliminated. The technology is very old. After many iterations, the other mecha in her space hub is the "new mecha" that she spent a lot of money to make.

To say it was new wasn't entirely new, because she didn't have the money to buy so many instruments and more sophisticated parts.

She got everything that could be found on the market and was able to make a mecha that she was comfortable using.

Wu Qingqing was extremely happy. The mecha cabin was the most private territory of a mecha master. Su Xiaocai allowed her to try it out, proving that he really treated her as a friend.

The two people have their own thoughts, but they reach the same destination through different paths.

Wu Qingqing climbed up excitedly, and then found that there were no seats inside, but a circular space with various instruments that she had never seen before.

Su Xiaocai also came up and said, "This is your first time, I dare not drive for you. It's easy to overturn and damage other people's fields. You sit in the passenger seat and watch how I drive." She pressed the soft panel at the back, and the panel opened, revealing the safe passenger seat inside.

This is usually an emergency seat used to rescue people, nothing special.

Wu Qingqing did as she was told, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened her safety gear tightly.

When the soft board fell, it was dark inside.

A slight roar was heard as the mecha started up, and the soft panel in front of the co-pilot turned into a transparent wall through which the situation in the driving seat ahead could be seen.

On both sides, it was as if the windows had suddenly opened, allowing one to see the scenery outside.

The moment the mecha was officially started, Wu Qingqing was stunned. She saw that Su Xiaocai's whole body was wrapped in a layer of blue metal shell, a bit like the exoskeleton in the concept.

She moved, and the mecha moved too.

The mecha somersaulted. Wu Qingqing couldn't see how it was operated. She just felt her hair stand on end. After a slight moment of weightlessness, it flipped over.

Can the mecha perform such complex movements without turning on the thrusters?

After that, Su Xiaocai no longer did difficult readings, but just jumped back and forth in the field and had fun for a while.

This scene was filmed by someone and posted on the Internet with the title "The King of Shaman Dance in the New Era."

The comments section is very joyful:

"Ah, my eyes, so hot, the mecha is so ugly."

"Why do I think it's ugly and cute?"

"Is it true that hoes can be used as weapons? This is eye-opening."

"I suddenly want a conspicuous mecha. Where can I reserve one?"

"The comments are all rookies. Look at its sexy, twisting butt and graceful figure. I wonder if an ordinary mecha master can do it easily? I want to know who is the mecha master who drives this mecha. I want to follow her."

"No more talking. I've already tagged my mecha master friend to reserve one. Please keep an eye on my account and test drive it as soon as you get it."

"As expected, in this kind of viral video, there will definitely be some wealthy people showing off their wealth and trying to make money from us."

"I don't know how to drive a mecha, I just want to ask, do you have a model?"

The title quickly became a hot topic.

After all, such an ugly and cool mecha is unique and you can hardly see it anywhere else.

Su Xiaocai had enough fun, and Wu Qingqing got off the mecha in a daze.

Looking up at the colorful mecha, she thought it was ugly at all. It was so classy and she also wanted to own one. It was so cool.

Su Xiaocai continued to instruct Wu Qingqing.

She sat on a small stool and broke down the Qi-sensing exercises for Wu Qingqing and explained their uses.

Facing the setting sun, Wu Qingqing's way of addressing Su Xiaocai completely changed to, "Master, shall we continue yesterday's training tonight?"

"Not tonight. I have something to do. I have an appointment with Fei Yi. But I have prepared a fighting machine puppet for you. It was my target of beatings in the past two years. Now it's your turn."

"There's also a combat robot? The popular one? I heard it's great as a sparring partner." It will block when you hit it, and can adjust its defensive posture according to its owner's movements.

It is said to be a great way to vent emotions.

"What are you thinking about?" That old phone can only be used as a toy. In Su Xiaocai's eyes, it is no different from garbage, although she can't afford it.

"It's just an initial sparring partner. You and it will definitely get along well." Su Xiaocai gave the sparring partner to her.

It’s a machine as big as a basketball, and looks like a Rubik’s Cube with more than twenty layers.

Wu Qingqing saw four buttons on it: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Off.

"I advise you not to open it now. I set it to automatically shut down after an hour of fighting. If you are not quick enough, you won't be able to turn it off."

Wu Qingqing immediately controlled her curious hands and held it carefully in her arms.

On the way back to the dormitory, Wu Qingqing asked, "Master, is the patent you want to apply for related to the mecha you are driving now? Did you deliberately make the mecha like that and then plan to make a fortune in silence?"

"It's a good question. Don't ask it next time. Stop thinking about it."

Su Xiaocai does not intend to make a fortune from patents. The technology will not be popularized to all the people, and the profits will only go to large manufacturers.

She can't just be a saint and let others get away with it.

But the money should still be collected. When all the patents have earned money, we can donate it or keep it for later use, and then redistribute it.

Many times, people will bury their conscience in order to live a better life. As long as it does not violate the bottom line of the law, Su Xiaocai doesn't mind being an ordinary, greedy and selfish person.

As long as there is no morality, you can feel at ease.

Of course, she usually tries to be a good person.

After returning home and having dinner, Wu Qingqing took the combat robot to the training ground, while Su Xiaocai went out to meet Fei Yi and Lawyer Zhang.

Wu Qingqing was carrying a Rubik's Cube combat robot to the training ground. On the way, she met a few freshmen from the Mecha Division. When they saw what she had in her hands, they smiled and asked her where she was going with the iron cube.
