Chapter 8

After that is the area that Wu Di Sun is planning.

Bamboo is a very domineering plant. Once it adapts to the environment, its roots will be very tight and refuse the growth of other plants.

All she could do was to isolate them, and she would go find some materials to block them in the next few days.

Su Xiaocai was thinking about a plan and before she knew it, it was already past noon.

Looking at today’s results, Su Xiaocai was very satisfied. That’s all for today’s work.

Su Xiaocai readily lent the excavator to three new classmates, hoping that they could use it well and try not to break it down, after all, repairing it takes time.

Looking back at the fields that would belong to her for the next few years, she thought about building a small wooden house to store the small robots so that they could take over monitoring and catching insects day and night.

When I returned to the dormitory, my roommates were not there.

Su Xiaocai was just as Su Laodi said, full of energy. She looked around and started to tinker on the balcony of the room again.

Su Xiaocai, who is afraid of mosquitoes, planted several kinds of mosquito repellent plants.

She attached a few hooks to the metal fence of the balcony, put wooden boards on top, and built up several layers to test the bearing capacity of the boards.

Then put the potted plants on it.

The pots are arranged in an orderly manner.

She planted two pots of tender berry seedlings, peppers, chives, and leeks. She cut off the flowers and leaves on the blooming flowers and picked out several cuttings that were easy to survive.

Of course, Su Xiaocai didn't do anything during the whole process.

When Old Man Su said she was useless, he was not joking. There was a "curse" on her hands, and whatever she planted died, which greatly hindered her vegetable-growing career.

Fortunately, she is smart and since she can't plant the fruits by hand, she uses a robot.

Su's planet is rich in renewable energy, including wind energy and solar energy. She can use them as she pleases without worrying about the consumption of robots.

Otherwise, the energy consumption alone would be a huge expense.

The little robot planted flower branches under Su Xiaocai's instructions.

After everything was planted, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. Su Xiaocai quickly took a shower and rushed to the simulated mecha cabin site.

When she arrived, Wu Qingqing just came out of the mecha cabin with a grim look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaocai looked at the time. It was exactly three o'clock. She was not late.

Wu Qingqing sat down slowly, buried her head in her knees, and said dejectedly: "I lost again."

Su Xiaocai also sat down and ate the freshly fried sweet potato chips made by Xiaowanzi. They were crunchy and she looked very carefree.

"Do you want to tell me?" She handed over two tissues and stuffed them into Wu Qingqing's hands.

Wu Qingqing looked up, her eyes red, and blew her nose.

"Why don't you comfort me?"

"I don't know what happened to you." It is foolish to comfort people without knowing the real situation. It may cause thorns in others' hearts and make them hate you.

Because of crying, the simulation cabin behind me was occupied by someone.

"Let's go out and talk." Wu Qingqing said.

The two girls walked out of the venue together and came to the shade of a tree. Su Xiaocai took out a small stool and invited Wu Qingqing to eat sweet potato chips.

After watching her complete these insignificant operations, Wu Qingqing calmed down a lot.

Su Xiaocai repeated, "You can tell me your story, and I promise not to tell anyone."

"It's not something secretive, a lot of my friends know about it."

The weather in the capital city in August is a bit hot and humid. The wind can't take away the sweat on the body, so sitting in the shade will be a little cooler.

Wu Qingqing talked about her family situation.

Her family is in the mecha parts business. Although they are not as wealthy as the Xue family, they are still ranked in the middle class.

"I am the third child. I have older brothers and sisters. One of them is a commander in the army and is already a captain. The other is the deputy secretary of the star district chief..."

With two outstanding children, Wu Qingqing's parents and elders hope that she will inherit the family business and become a businessman rather than a mecha pilot.

Originally, the family business was considered to be handed over to the eldest uncle's son, who is Wu Qingqing's cousin.

This is not good. My cousin, the reserve successor and mecha master, is also very talented. He is a junior this year and if nothing unexpected happens, he will also join the army.

When Wu Qingqing was in her senior year of high school, she had a big fight with her parents over studying mechatronics. Her cousin was also with them at the time and heard the whole thing.

"My cousin laughed at me for being a girl and not as talented as him, and told me not to waste my time. I got so angry that I made a bet with him, wuwuwu..." Wu Qingqing became emotional and couldn't help shedding two tears.

"Do I cry too easily?"

Su Xiaocai: "Go on."

Wu Qingqing choked, what a heartless roommate.

"I don't have a business mind. My older brothers, sisters and cousins ​​are smarter than me. Not only are they better at studying than me, but I can't even compare to them in my favorite driving skills."

Wu Qingqing had just been fried fish by her cousin. It was fried very badly and there was nothing she could do.

If she didn’t outshine her cousin in driving skills before he graduated, she would change her major.

Wu Qingqing: "I'm useless, right?"

"Do you want me to say something to comfort you?" Su Xiaocai knew very well that Wu Qingqing subconsciously wanted recognition from others.

She wanted others to tell her that she was not lacking in talent, it was just that there was an age gap and a different level of proficiency, and so on.

Su Xiaocai stuck to the point, "It's inevitable that there's a difference in strength between you and your cousin. Putting aside the differences between men and women, even if you have the same talent as him and work just as hard, he's been taught by so many good teachers for three years, and you've only just started school, so it's normal for you to be crushed."

Su Xiaocai was not trying to hit her, the facts were right in front of her and she had to accept them.

Wu Qingqing was in a trance, "Don't I have any hope at all?"

"If you attend the teacher's class normally and then work as hard as your cousin, your hope is slim indeed."

"What can I do? There's nothing I can do. I hired a coach during the holidays, but when I competed with my cousin, he still beat me." Wu Qingqing stammered, "I should have given up earlier and applied to transfer to another department now."

Under the big tree, the short-haired girl's spirit seemed to have been drained away, leaving only a shell, staring blankly at the mountains in the distance.

"Do you like driving mechas so much?"

The ethereal female voice brings people back to their senses.

Wu Qingqing thought about it carefully and thought, yes.

"I like flying through the universe in a mecha, I want to kill insects, I want to be a protector."

Wu Qingqing, who has a heroic complex by nature, always wants to be recognized by the whole nation as a powerful mecha master, rather than a businessman.

But my cousin is a huge mountain standing in front of me.

"I can't beat my cousin." Wu Qingqing had a headache because she couldn't find a coach for special training at school.

Su Xiaocai: "Don't you want me to teach you? I am your only hope right now. Have you ever seen anyone driving a mecha with the initial settings to fight hundreds of bugs?"

"you?"

At this point, Wu Qingqing doubted whether Su Xiaocai could teach others. She asked Su Xiaocai for advice yesterday just out of curiosity, after all, she was so young.

“Can you help me improve a lot?”

"It depends on whether you can follow my requirements completely." Su Xiaocai said, "If you are determined to learn from me, I can guarantee that you will beat your cousin in two years. First of all, everything must be done according to my requirements, including the diet, work and rest schedule, and any training. Once implemented, I need your long-term trust. If you give up halfway, you will have to compensate me for the loss."

Wu Qingqing was curious about how much compensation would be paid?

"Conservatively speaking, 1 billion." Su Xiaocai smiled. Wu Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine. She suddenly felt that Su Xiaocai was not as harmless and enthusiastic as she looked. "So much?"

Su Xiaocai didn't explain. She folded up her stool and took back the space button. "Think about it. I mean what I say. If you can't trust me completely, we can still be good roommates."

Su Xiaocai walked back with her hands behind her back, planning to build some fences in the fields tomorrow. The farmland of the Military Training School was very close to the forest, and it was said that wild animals often appeared in the forest.

In fact, it is better to go and see the fields of seniors so that you can make a better judgment.

Wu Qingqing, who was in the shadows, was lost in thought. She wondered if Su Xiaocai was reliable. Could she do what she promised? The coach her family hired was a lieutenant colonel in the mecha unit, and he couldn't make her close to her cousin. Why should Su Xiaocai do that?
Isn't she a farmer? Will they use illegal means to promote her?

Wu Qingqing thought about it and decided that there was no need to worry too much about this. Su Xiaocai and she were both in the school, and she was not dead, so she would not allow Su Xiaocai to do whatever she wanted.

She was just afraid of trusting the wrong person and wasting time.
Finally, Wu Qingqing made a phone call to find the coach.

"Hello, coach."

"Ms. Wu, is there something wrong?"

Wu Qingqing asked the question that had been stuck in her mind, "Coach, I want to ask you, if I want to surpass my cousin in two years, can you help me?"

The coach paused, "It's not that there is no solution. Miss Wu, can you accept actual combat? Going to the battlefield can help you grow quickly."

"What if my cousin also goes to the battlefield?"

"Ms. Wu, I'm sorry I can't help you. You are very talented, and so is your cousin. If you must get as close to your cousin as possible, you might as well find a research institute. They provide more services and can adjust your state and push your limits. If you ask me to recommend, I would recommend the Non-Human Institute. They have more successful research cases."

Wu Qingqing had also heard of this research institute, but it was a bit far from the capital star, so even if she went there, she could only go during holidays.

"Is there no other way?"

"No."

"Thank you, coach. I understand."

Wu Qingqing had just finished her call when the coach called the Non-Human Research Institute. "I've already introduced the person. There's a high chance that he'll go to your place. Remember to give me the commission that we promised you."

……

Wu Qingqing returned to the dormitory with a heavy heart, but did not see Su Xiaocai.

Where did Su Xiaocai go?

Su Xiaocai hadn't visited the campus yet, so of course she went sightseeing.

Before the military training starts, students are allowed to enter and exit freely. Except for the laboratory building and the armory, all other places can be entered with just a student ID.

Things are different after school starts. It’s uncertain whether I will have time to go shopping.

She went to the library first.

The library consists of two buildings. Su Xiaocai thought it was a large gymnasium. The photochromic glass reflects emerald green in the sunlight and looks like a huge gem from a distance. It is very beautiful.

Su Xiaocai didn't go in, but there would be many opportunities to come in the future, so she continued walking based on her intuition.

There are short lamp posts with a strong sense of technology on both sides of the main campus road. When Su Xiaocai walked closer, she realized that these lamp posts were not just street lights.

The lamp post is only three meters high, with a small platform protruding at waist height. The platform provides fast charging services and also stores several umbrellas that can be taken out by swiping a student card.

You only need to pay if you don't return the umbrella for more than two days.

Su Xiaocai was very impressed by Junpei's wealth.

As she walked and looked, she saw huge trees that were so thick that three people could hug them everywhere. Su Xiaocai stopped from time to time to check what kind of trees they were.

Slowly, we walked further and further away and arrived at the medical building.

There is a school clinic on the ground floor of the medical building. There are three clinics next to each other, but only one is open now.

The strange thing was that there was a long queue at the door, and almost all of them were girls.

Su Xiaocai came forward and lined up as well, "Classmates, are you all injured?"

The girl said shyly: "Yes, it's just, a little hurt." The girl raised her finger, there was a small cut on it, and it would almost heal if she didn't apply medicine.

The girl looked Su Xiaocai up and down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The fat on Su Xiaocai's cheeks had not gone down, and she looked like an underage child. There was nothing to be afraid of.

She said: "What about you? Are you here to see the doctor too?"

"Yes, go see a doctor." Su Xiaocai hadn't tested her abilities for a long time. The parameters that the tester at home could withstand were too small. She asked her father to buy one, but he was unwilling to do so, saying it was expensive. He told her to go to school for the test.

Here she comes.

The girl smiled meaningfully, "My classmate has good taste."

Is seeing a doctor related to taste?

The team moved forward quickly, and Su Xiaocai finally understood why so many girls came to see the school doctor.

Two handsome guys are in the school infirmary.

Xue Huiyi's fiancé Ji Heng was also there, seemingly playing the role of an assistant, and the girls all loved to hang around him.

The girls had no reserve at all and stared at the man's face intently.

Ji Heng was very calm, with a stern face. He wore medical gloves and helped people apply medicine. He looked like a very virtuous husband.

According to Su Xiaocai's aesthetic taste, the other school doctor in a white coat is more handsome.

The school doctor's facial features were very similar to Ji Heng's. His skin was white, and his lips were not that thin. They were pink, with a faint purple tint around the edges. There was a hint of melancholy between his brows, like a sick beauty.

When the school doctor said the next one, Ji Heng looked up and saw that it was Su Xiaocai. He said in a hard tone, "What's the injury?"

"I'm not hurt."

Ji Heng: "If you are not injured, what are you doing here?"

"Do you have to be injured to come to the school infirmary?" Su Xiaocai glared.

Ji Heng really doesn't like girls coming here for even the smallest problems. They insist on applying medicine and bandaging something that can be solved with a small hemostatic patch, which is a waste of medical resources.

"So, what's your reason for coming to the school infirmary?"

Su Xiaocai was puzzled and had a strange look on her face. He didn't think that she came here because she liked him, right?

Su Xiaocai took a step back, kept a distance of two meters from him, and walked around to the school doctor. "I want to test my ability. Doctor, do you have an instrument to test it?"

Ji Heng sneered, not knowing what he was laughing at her for.

Su Xiaocai was too lazy to pay attention to him. This guy was so annoying, and his fiancée was also annoying.

The school doctor Ji Li has a temperament opposite to Ji Heng's. He is very gentle, although this gentleness is only on the surface and is entirely due to the professional qualities of a doctor. But at least he is smiling and not arrogant.

"Come with me." Ji Li put down his pen and stopped writing in the medical record book. He said helplessly to Ji Heng, "These people are probably coming for you. You handle them and get rid of them if you can."
