Chapter 39 Major Sun's sudden inspiration

Through the transparent roof of the plaza, the students could see hundreds of mechas flying by, and they became excited.

"So handsome."

"Does the blue mecha that's leading the way look like the one that Lieutenant General Bai has?"

“It would be nice if I could test drive it.”

"Soon I will have the mecha I want."

The military provides basic mechas. When students register for school, they need to fill out a form and select their mecha requirements, such as what kind of weapons they want and what kind of mecha frame they want. The military can assemble them for them.

Not only can expensive materials not be used, the mecha cannot be taken away.

There is nothing wrong with it, it fully embodies what it means to be rich and willful.

The expense of equipping each student with a mecha is extremely high.

Major Sun ordered them to wait here and soldiers would come to take over them.

The military square was very large, and thousands of students only occupied a corner of the square. Thousands of people were talking at the same time, and the echo was not loud, but the buzzing sound was a bit annoying.

After waiting for half an hour, people were already getting impatient. The receptionist looked calm, but the fact that he kept looking at the time betrayed his anxiety.

Major Sun asked the receptionist why the person had not arrived yet. He was a soldier from the capital planet and could not stay here this time.

The principal handed the students over to him, and he had to make proper arrangements for each student before leaving.

The other party had not shown up for a long time, and he doubted their sincerity. If they treated the students in this manner, he would rather take the students back.

Just as Major Sun was about to start cursing, a serious-looking colonel strode over with four or five hundred soldiers.

He saluted Major Sun and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

Major Sun saw that his forehead was covered with sweat and there were red marks on his face from wearing the safety equipment for too long.

In an emergency, I had to act swiftly, knowing that the other party was probably delayed by something.

Major Sun immediately calmed down. In fact, they did not agree on a specific time, so the other party was not late.

Major Sun saluted and reported that he had brought a total of 3,200 students.

The colonel nodded and asked the soldiers behind him to stand among the students, with each leading a small team.

The soldiers quickly led the people in order and stood on the other side of the square. However, a problem arose.

There are not enough leading soldiers.

After the five hundred soldiers were divided, only one squad was left.

No need to guess, Wu Qingqing and others were left behind.

Major Sun: ???

He looked at the people around Colonel Bai inquiringly, "Are you alone?"

"Well, can you distribute the students to the various groups?" Colonel Bai seemed to have something to hide, and whispered, "It's like this, someone on our side disappeared during the mission, and we don't have enough manpower. I just went to gather people to lead the team, but I only have this number now. Can you make some more arrangements?"

"I also want to make some arrangements, you know? The remaining people are put together." Major Sun explained truthfully and briefly recounted what happened on the battleship.

A group of students who should be innocent and passionate are scheming and scheming all day long, forming small teams, excluding this one and refusing to play with that one. They are worse than primary school students.

Colonel Bai had a complicated look on his face. "It's not easy for you either."

Major Sun: "You are about to have a hard time."

What a straightforward curse!

"It's okay. I can lead so many new recruits every year. They are just students. I believe my sergeants will not disappoint you." Colonel Bai stood with his hands behind his back, looking righteous. He didn't need to teach them, so no matter how difficult the problem was, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Wu Qingqing and others were at a loss, waiting for the result.

"Please don't separate us again. I don't want to go back to the original team. It would be so embarrassing." Hu Ping said in a low voice.

He was the first to abandon his former teammates. When changing teams, Hu Ping saw the "sad light" in Pan Mingjie's eyes.

Wu Qingqing: "No way, with millions of soldiers, can't they find one more person to lead the team?"

"It's hard to find someone with a similar rank." Liu Xun observed carefully and analyzed clearly: "Look at the soldiers over there, their badges are similar, they are either lieutenants or captains, they have strong personal strength, so they can lead us little fragile guys."

Colonel Bai said he was powerless. Soldiers cannot change positions at will. They originally had enough manpower, but who could have expected an accident to happen midway. Hundreds of people were missing, including more than 20 captains.

Colonel Bai couldn't tell Major Sun about this.

They had been discussing for almost ten minutes, but Wu Qingqing and the others hadn't made any arrangements yet.

Xue Huiyi's teammates couldn't help but snicker.

"A mob is doomed to failure, so we need to break it up."

"One Ji Heng can't lead five people. This is ridiculous."

"Their whole team is a joke."

Major Sun asked Colonel Bai, "So your only solution is to disband a group of students?"

"If you are willing to use some who don't have much battlefield experience, that's fine too." Colonel Bai pointed at a few soldiers behind him. "They are all quite skilled, and they have fewer opportunities to deal with insect people, less than ten times. As instructors, they are fully qualified."

The soldiers on the Mechanical Planet are seriously inward-looking, and it is difficult to climb up without real combat achievements.

The people behind Colonel Bai are all warrant officers. They have been on the mechanical planet for several years and are familiar with all the terrain here.

"We really don't have anyone here. There are also students from other schools, and the military training comes too late." Colonel Bai didn't mean to make things difficult for Major Sun, but it was raining cats and dogs, and it wouldn't be a good idea to ask someone with a rank above major to lead the team.

They won't be willing to do so, and the students who have already been divided into teams will also feel that it is unfair.

Major Sun rubbed his brows, feeling it was difficult to make a decision. He couldn't bear to break up Ji Heng's team, but the warrant officer didn't have enough experience in dealing with insect people.

Major Sun caught a glimpse of Su Xiaocai yawning and gave a meaningful smile.

The reason for hiring people with little experience is that they are worried that it will be unsafe to lead the team.

But if there is someone with top-notch ability, the problem can be solved.

Major Sun praised himself for his cleverness.

"Su Xiaocai, come here." Major Sun suddenly called out her name.

Su Xiaocai was stunned for a moment, feeling very bad, all the cells in her body were resisting, she shook her head, "I won't go over."

Everyone was speechless. Where is the military discipline?
The major is calling you. How dare you, as a student, refuse?

"If you don't come over, I'll take you back later."

"You're scaring the kids." Su Xiaocai couldn't bear the pitiful looks of her two roommates asking for help, so she walked over reluctantly, "What's the matter?"

"In an emergency, you join Wu Wu...your roommate's team." Major Sun couldn't remember the name, "Right now the military can only send one warrant officer to lead the team. He has some experience, but not much. So, do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Su Xiaocai continued to shake her head. "This is inappropriate. On my application form, I wrote that I was a logistics staff. If I join the team, it will cause psychological trauma to other students. It will not sound good if a random student from the Agricultural Science College crushes a student from the Mecha Department."

"Don't think I don't know that you are also from the mecha department." Major Sun softened his tone, "Agree or not, Miss, I'm not here to look after you, and you don't take them with you. If something unexpected happens, do you promise not to regret it?"

Su Xiaocai considered, "If you want me to join, that's fine. I won't be training with the army, I'll just go on missions with them. The rest of the time, I'll still be a doctor's assistant."

Colonel Bai at the side couldn't help but look at Su Xiaocai, "Little boy, you are quite arrogant. Among my soldiers, there is no one as arrogant as you."

Major Sun patted Su Xiaocai on the shoulder and recommended her strongly, "You can compete with her when you have time. Recently, it has been widely rumored that she dares to chop insects with two knives. Her mecha technology is also impeccable. But she doesn't like being a soldier, she only likes being a farmer."

Colonel Bai has been too busy lately to watch the news. He admires capable people, but she volunteered to be a farmer, which was a bit unambitious.

"Even if she can chop up insects with her bare hands, it doesn't mean anything. Information on the battlefield is ever-changing, and she has no experience. I can't agree to this."

"Colonel, you made a logical mistake." Su Xiaocai said, "You were the one who first said that we could use inexperienced soldiers if we wanted. And my joining is just joining the student side, and I only need Major Sun's permission."

She doesn't need points or rewards. It's like having an extra bodyguard in the team who doesn't care about anything. It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not.

Major Sun laughed secretly, "Colonel Bai, it was your fault in the first place. So how about we all take a step back?"

Colonel Bai was not angry at Su Xiaocai's rebuttal. He was a tough soldier with a broad mind, but the army had its own disciplines. "I would rather your team be disbanded."

But he couldn't be too strict with the students in the school. "If you are willing, then we will not be responsible for the safety of this little classmate. Her joining is equivalent to having one more person. We only provide the most basic mecha frame. You need to be responsible for the modification."

"Okay." Major Sun agreed immediately. Su Xiaocai:?!
Colonel Bai called a soldier out of line, "This is Warrant Officer 3, Fan Li."

A simple-looking man in military uniform stepped forward and saluted Major Sun and Su Xiaocai.

"Did you hear it just now? You don't need to take care of this student. Just call her along when there is a mission." Colonel Bai did not repeat himself. After giving the soldiers orders stiffly, he hurried to do other things.

There were too many soldiers missing on the mission, and these people had accepted missions from their superiors without his knowledge, so he didn't even know where they were.

Now that things here have been resolved, there's no need to get involved any further.

As soon as Colonel Bai left, it was the job of each team leader. They would explain the daily schedule to the students and make clear the preparations before the mission.

Major Sun was glad that Colonel Bai was not a conservative person. If it were any other soldier, they might not be able to communicate so well. He turned around and told Su Xiaocai, "Well, you'd better get a mecha and modify it first. Don't take out your hoe mecha."

Su Xiaocai frowned in disapproval: "My mecha is very good, and there are similar models online."

The same mecha online is better looking than yours, at least it looks new. Yours looks like a moldy pile of metal, it's hard to describe.

Major Sun: "I know it's good, but it's embarrassing."

Su Xiaocai stammered, "Actually, I have another mecha..."

"Don't use it. It's embarrassing." Major Sun could have rejected it. He didn't trust Su Xiaocai's taste. "Take this application form and apply. You can get the mecha frame. See if you can use the military's maintenance room for the modification. You may need to pay for the modification yourself."

Su Xiaocai was furious: "I'm a student, I don't have that much money."

“I know you have a scholarship.”

"That's what I deserve."

"Well, you can only blame your apprentice. Your apprentice may be the retribution you deserve." Major Sun is good at fooling people. He tricked Su Xiaocai and put the blame on Wu Qingqing.

It was very unkind to say goodbye, "I will pick you up in 20 days. I hope you will become stronger."

Su Xiaocai is still angry.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to the principal and see if I can get it reimbursed." Major Sun was joking. How could the students really pay for it?

Su Xiaocai: "That's pretty good."

Major Sun rubbed Su Xiaocai's head vigorously and waved goodbye in a cool manner.

When Wu Qingqing and the other six learned that they were taken in by Fan Li and that Su Xiaocai had joined the mission team, they trotted over excitedly.

"Ahhh, Master, are you on our team?"

"Nominally, yes, but I won't be training with you. I have to go and modify a mecha to go on a mission." He came to the Mechanical Planet from school just to upgrade his Qi, and his disciples were just a by-product.

But there are unforeseen circumstances.

Su Xiaocai had already been upgraded before she arrived here, so the only thing left for her to do was to train an apprentice.

Now that she has joined the team, she still needs to listen to the cruise route and mission items, as she is not familiar with the mechanical planet.

Su Xiaocai asked Warrant Officer Fan about his class schedule.

Fan Li said, "After three hours, Comrade Su should go get a mecha first. It's difficult to even go on a mission, so how can you protect your companions?"

Looking at the back of Fan Li's straight military uniform, Liu Xun touched his short hair and asked, "Why do I feel that there is a thorn in Fan Li's tone?"

Su Xiaocai clicked her tongue.

Fan Li's back stiffened for a moment. He was just unhappy with a little kid talking about protecting his companions.

That's ridiculous. Children just need to be good students. Why should they be so stubborn?

If it weren't for Major Sun's guarantee, he wouldn't have wanted to bother with it.

Forget it, forget it. Fan Li can’t argue with a child.

……

There isn't much else on the mechanical planet except for a lot of buildings, and there are many surplus dormitory rooms prepared for wartime.

There was a group of people, both men and women. Fan Li pointed to two rooms for them and said, "Gather at the training ground at the end of the corridor in two and a half days. Don't be late."

Su Xiaocai's lounge was not the same as theirs. Her lounge was better. It was on the other side of the corridor, along with the nurses and senior maintenance technicians sent by two schools.

The senior maintenance technician’s surname was Liang. He was not very pretty, with a few spots on his cheeks and a healthy wheat-colored skin. Su Xiaocai thought of him as a sports enthusiast who often swam at the beach.

The nurse was the opposite of Sister Liang. She was very fair and looked serious, like a stern head nurse, with her collar buttoned meticulously.

As soon as she entered the room, she drew a line between herself and her two roommates.

"I have mysophobia. In order not to affect you, and for the sake of peaceful coexistence in the next 20 days, let's not cross the line, okay?"

My roommate is a germaphobe, so I have to respect him. Su Xiaocai asked, "Would you mind if I cooked something?"

"Then don't make anything with a strong smell." The nurse's tone was very flat, as if she was trying her best to endure it.

Then she took the basin and handkerchief, slammed the door, and stayed in the bedroom without coming out.

Sister Liang and Su Xiaocai spread their hands.

It seems that this roommate is very cold and difficult to get along with.

Each person has a room and the kitchen is shared, which is no different from school.

Su Xiaocai went to make the bed and asked Xiaowanzi to go to the kitchen to cook. She made an extra portion and sent it to Sister Liang.

"Thank you. I was planning to go to the cafeteria." Sister Liang leaned closer and smelled the food. It was amazing.

"Your robot is really convenient." Sister Liang looked at it carefully and said, "I remember that all the cooking robots out there use the same pot. Yours is a little special."

Chibi Maruko didn't say anything. When it met a stranger, it changed its personality and became silent.

"Yeah, I made it myself. No one at home knows how to cook. It's far from town, so I can't let my stomach suffer. I had to improve the robot."

Liang suddenly felt that the food in her mouth tasted more delicious. She stuffed a large piece of sweet and sour sauce into her mouth. The crispy skin was covered with thick sauce. The meat was cut thinly, but when she chewed it, she felt the fiber of a large piece of meat. "Can you make one for me? I live alone and often work overtime. It's troublesome to hire a nanny."

Hearing the praise, Chibi Maruko, like an ordinary robot, pretended to be dumb and did not move.

Su Xiaocai guessed that it was very excited inside because its roommates complimented it every day and it would spin in circles every time.

If others praise it, it will be very happy.

"I don't have the conditions and tools right now." Su Xiaocai said regretfully: "If there is a repair room for me to use, I can make one."

When Sister Liang heard this, she thought it was easy. "Sure. We teachers have our own maintenance rooms here. You can just use mine."

"That's not good! I'm a student and a physician's assistant."

"Then don't be afraid, you are not an employed person. Come and use me when you are free. When you go back to school, I will have a good cook to use." Sister Liang patted the little meatball who was guarding the table. His head was quite round and the smooth feel was great.

Su Xiaocai took a sip of the juice, the sweet taste burst into her mouth, and she was secretly happy.

She was just trying it out and the results were encouraging.

Although there are many mechanics and repairmen on the 022 Mechanical Planet, they are exposed to similar types of mechas day after day, and their thinking has gradually become rigid.

For fear that these people cannot keep up with the pace of mecha updates, the Mechanical Planet must have professors to impart the latest knowledge.

Su Xiaocai guessed that since Sister Liang had a private maintenance room in the school, she would most likely be able to get an independent studio here.

Indeed, she did.

"Thank you, Mr. Liang. I'll be welcome then."

After eating and drinking, Su Xiaocai took Xiaowanzi back to the room and told it, "Do you want to stay in the dormitory or go out with me? If you go out, you may have to stay in the space more often."

Chibi Maruko: "I want to follow you. I am your babysitter. I will follow you all the way and protect you."

Su Xiaocai hugged Xiaowanzi and said, "Next time I will change you into a softer shell so that it will be more comfortable to hug."

"Your account contains the money I earned from advertising. You can use it." Xiaowanzi changed into shy mode and covered her face with her hands. "Oh, I can finally support Caicai. Old Man Su can no longer block your pocket money."

Su Xiaocai was so amused by Xiaowanzi's antics, "You are good at this, what advertisement did you take?"

Looking back at the ads that Chibi Maruko received, they were all about seasonings, knives, kitchen appliances...

No wonder there were several new electrical appliances in the dormitory that had not been unpacked. Su Xiaocai thought that Wu Qingqing and the others were too idle, so they bought them online and gave Chibi Maruko-chan a try.
