Wang Tianwei spent all night mentally preparing herself to live with her "biological younger brother" for a few days.
She even rehearsed in her mind several times how to casually ask him if he wanted to have breakfast together the next morning.
When speaking, it would be best to only show a forty-five-degree profile, so as not to appear too eager or too cold...
However, Wang Kaiyu didn't give her the chance to put this into practice.
Although the little brother's training camp had ended, he still left early and returned late every day, busy with who knows what.
The two occasionally bumped into each other at home, but he would only leave her with a cold snort of disappointment, along with an equally forty-five-degree profile...
Wang Tianwei adapted well to this; what she lacked most right now was time.
As long as she was awake, she was either soaking in the Star Network frantically cramming, or working out in the basement's high-tech home gym. She was working even harder than when she took her college entrance exams!
After all, spending an extra minute on herself meant delaying her cover being blown by a minute!
As for the baffling messages from "friends" on her optical computer, she simply ignored them. Nothing was more important than her studies right now!
A week passed just like that.
Wang Tianwei had just finished a bath. Sipping a can of nutrient fluid, she lounged lazily on the sofa in her room, scrolling through her optical computer.
She could now have the household robot pour her water and bring her fruit without any psychological burden. The erosion of capitalism simply left one with no power to resist...
Wang Tianwei smacked her lips, sincerely lamenting how quickly she had fallen.
High-tech was just too convenient; the vast majority of furniture only required voice control.
The bathtub in the bathroom perfectly contoured to her body, starting a massage the moment she lay down!
Every time she dragged her exhausted body up from the basement and lay in the bathtub for a while, she felt completely revived!
The only thing she still wasn't quite used to was the fully enclosed sleep pod... but she had a large sofa in her room!
The material was more comfortable than any mattress from the past!
Compared to the apocalypse, this living environment was simply heaven versus hell!
It would be weird if she didn't get corrupted...
But she had also made some efforts in other areas.
To integrate into the interstellar era more quickly, she insisted on going out for a walk every day recently!
Even though she only explored the area around the villa, it was enough to keep her amazed for a long time!
She still remembered the first time she went out, staring blankly at the various flying machines in the sky for over an hour until her neck ached... So traffic control could even extend to the sky...
The original owner's parents were coming back today.
Her father, Wang Yi, had sent a message in advance, telling the siblings to wait for them at home.
And right now, compared to facing her "family," she was more anxious about the upcoming start of the school term...
She originally thought it was just attending a school, even if it was a military academy! At most, the management would be a bit stricter with some extra daily training.
But after carefully searching the Star Network and forums, she realized that wasn't the case at all!
The Federal First Military Academy's system was extremely rigorous. From the moment of enrollment, there was basically a major exam every three days and a minor exam every five days.
The scope of exams included but was not limited to: cultural studies, physical fitness, general knowledge, mental strength, combat training, psychological endurance, and daily discipline!
They even implemented a bottom-elimination system!
Although the First Military Academy supplied the Federation with the most outstanding military personnel every year, the school's elimination rate was also the highest!
The number of people who could successfully graduate accounted for less than a third of the total freshmen!
And... their official website actually listed a mortality rate!
Wang Tianwei spent half a day re-evaluating her overall situation and came to a conclusion:
Although the original owner had desperately tested into the military academy where her crush was, she actually hadn't thought about what to do afterwards at all!
Barring any accidents, she would at most survive the first month before being eliminated...
Was she going to become an out-of-school youth in the interstellar era too!?
Or should she transfer to another school like other eliminated students? Or re-enter the First Military Academy's preparatory class and start over!?
But even if she could test back in, how long could she last the next time!?
In her opinion, if she was going to transfer, she might as well do it early... That way, she could keep up with the teaching schedule and wouldn't abruptly draw the attention of classmates and teachers at a new school halfway through.
So the problem was... how to bring it up with her family?
She was actually quite satisfied with the Mecha Master major. After all, before the apocalypse began, her family ran an auto repair shop.
Since childhood, she had been very interested in engines and parts. By the time she was a teenager, she had disassembled everything in the house that could be taken apart.
It was just that because she was a girl, her family never thought about letting her enter this industry, and then the apocalypse happened...
Even with ten years of experience fighting zombies, she absolutely didn't dare to be overconfident in today's era of mecha combat!
After all, the original owner's mental strength was pitifully low!
Coupled with her unfamiliarity with the latest mechas and firearms, forcefully controlling them would run the risk of losing control...
If she accidentally injured an ally... she didn't even dare to imagine the scene!
The command major required even more powerful mental strength and a grasp of the big picture!
Not only did you have to see the situation clearly and issue accurate orders, but at critical moments, you also had to use mental attacks... How could she, someone who had just figured out how to use the home appliances, know how to do that?
It was better to start by learning design and manufacturing, and figure out the principles and usage of mechas and weapons first!
Wang Tianwei was sighing with a bitter face in her room when the sound of the door opening came from downstairs. The original owner's parents were back.
She leaped up from the sofa, not forgetting to cheer herself on as she walked to the door, and then pulled it open...
When she saw the two familiar faces downstairs, Wang Tianwei's eyes grew hot, and she almost lost control of her emotions!
Weren't these the faces of her own mom and dad!?
She hadn't... seen them in nearly ten years...
Wang Yi looked up and saw that his daughter upstairs was even more surprised than he was!
"Honey! Tianwei is actually home!?"
Cheng Yin only felt her husband's words were baffling.
"Isn't it normal for Tianwei to be at home?"
"No! She actually didn't go looking for that kid from the Fu family... Ow!"
Cheng Yin's smile remained unchanged, but her index finger and thumb quietly pinched the soft flesh at Wang Yi's waist.
Wang Tianwei suppressed her emotions and chimed in,
"Didn't you send a message, Dad, telling us to wait for you at home?"
Wang Kaiyu passed behind her and went straight downstairs.
"Dad, Mom, what good stuff did you bring back from planet Shuomo this time?"
"You brat, you only know how to ask for good stuff! Did you take good care of your sister while your mom and I were away?"
Wang Kaiyu curled his lips. Did Wang Tianwei even need his care!?
With only a B-grade mental strength, she actually dared to test for the Mecha Master program at the Federal First Military Academy!
And she actually passed! Who had more guts than her!?
He originally thought that with her flashy personality, she would throw a huge party.
He had been leaving early and coming back late recently just to avoid the gatherings of her crowd.
Who would have thought she had become quiet this time?
She barely even left the house all day... Who knows what was wrong with her? Or was she holding back for something big!?
He had wanted to ask, but was afraid that Wang Tianwei had simply forgotten, and asking would only remind her... making him feel restless these past two days.
With a sister like her, he seriously had it rough!
