Even a Street-Smart Girl Needs to Repair Mechas?

Chapter 9

After deciding to go to the Qilin Military Academy, Wang Tianwei never logged into the forum of the First Federal Military Academy again.

Little did she know, a thread related to her had already blown up.

"Shocking! Two freshmen of the First Military Academy actually dropped out before even enrolling this year! Do they look down on the school, or is there a hidden secret!?"

"No way!? This is the First Federal Military Academy!"

"Could it be that they can't afford the tuition?"

"It's possible... but doesn't the First Military Academy offer full scholarships and student loans?"

"Yeah, as long as you can graduate from there, you just need to fight in a few matches and the loan will be paid off in no time, right!?"

"Inside information: Both of their families are filthy rich! There's absolutely no way they can't afford the tuition! And you'd never guess the reason why one of them dropped out!"

"The scope given upstairs is too broad, there are plenty of rich people in the First Military Academy... But in recent years, apart from those who couldn't keep up and were eliminated after school started, I've never seen anyone drop out voluntarily!"

"After all, just getting admitted is already a huge honor! I don't even know if I'll have a chance next year..."

"It can't be helped, the First Military Academy is simply not a place for humans! The elimination rate is astonishing!"

"Not being able to keep up is an individual difference, but not even trying is cowardice!"

"Baiting! Are you saying the Federation produced two cowards at once?"

"Who on earth are they? If they look down on the First Military Academy, where do they want to go!?"

"It's not convenient for me, the original poster, to reveal that right now. Wait until school starts and every class has a roster, then you'll know who didn't show up! Just a heads-up so your jaws don't drop..."

"You guys are really bored! People can go to whatever school they want. What era is this? Do they not have the right to choose?"

"...That's true, but it's the First Military Academy after all!"

"The point is, these two people are just too famous..."

"Ahhh! I'm so curious! I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

The commotion on the forum did not disturb Wang Tianwei's family.

Wang Kaiyu didn't like surfing the forums anyway. To him, he might as well spend that time dueling a few more times in the simulation training room.

The official registration day for the First Military Academy was the same as the Qilin Military Academy. After Wang Yi and Cheng Yin discussed it, they decided that he would still accompany their daughter to the Shuomo Planet this time.

After all, he had handled all the donations to the Qilin Military Academy, so Cheng Yin would be in charge of holding down the fort at the company and keeping an eye on Kaiyu while she was at it.

On the day of departure, the father and daughter took a hovercraft to the starport.

Passing by the SVIP lounge, Wang Tianwei looked at the various buffets inside, itching to try them. She only gave up when Wang Yi told her they would be having dinner on the starship very soon, though her hands honestly pocketed a few tubes of nutrient solution... never leaving empty-handed.

Wang Yi took everything in but didn't say a word.

Without Tianwei knowing, he, Ah Yin, and Kaiyu had held a brief meeting.

Ah Yin said that when girls of this age go through a breakup, they usually want to start over from the head, wanting to cut their hair short or change their outward appearance...

According to the information provided by Kaiyu, this had already come true!

He heard his daughter wanted to dye all her hair black, she just hadn't succeeded...

The next step was eating to drown her sorrows... the food in the fridge at home had been disappearing very quickly lately!

He and Ah Yin didn't dare to utter a word, only blindly ordering the best, radiation-free ingredients on the market.

His wife also said they absolutely must not stop her at this time, otherwise, if she tried to distract herself and picked up worse habits like alcoholism or some psychoactive drugs, it would be disastrous!

He had already contacted the food ordering channels on Shuomo Planet. They would deliver things to her door every week! Guaranteeing that his daughter's fridge would always be fully stocked!

Once Wang Tianwei packed her nutrient solutions, the father and daughter boarded the ship.

The SVIP cabin was almost a completely independent room. At the very back, there was a bathroom with a shower, and it was equipped with a desk for working and studying, as well as a smart brain terminal interface.

What was the difference between this and staying in a hotel!?

The only fly in the ointment... Wang Tianwei sighed as she looked at the only sleep pod in the room.

Blame it on her being a country bumpkin unable to appreciate the finer things... It was fine, it was only for one night.

It took twelve hours to travel from the capital to Shuomo Planet by starship, and they would stop at a few other planets for a while along the way.

There would be a slight tremor upon takeoff, but once the starship was truly running, it was extremely steady.

From the moment the starship took off, Wang Tianwei pressed her face against the glass of the room, reluctant to pull away.

She was really up in the sky... and could stand shoulder to shoulder with the countless stars!

The nebula outside was magnificent, and she could never get tired of looking at it.

When Wang Yi came to get his daughter for dinner, this was the scene he saw...

"...Tianwei?"

"Coming."

Wang Tianwei reluctantly withdrew her gaze and followed her father to the restaurant on the starship.

Wang Yi inherently had little need for food; most of the time, he just drank a tube of nutrient solution and called it a day.

However, ever since his daughter started eating real food, he discovered that mealtime was a good opportunity to communicate, so he would also eat some along with her.

Not only did he eat himself, but if the others were around, he would also drag Ah Yin and that kid Kaiyu down to eat together.

Otherwise, the couple and the two children usually did their own things in their respective rooms, without much opportunity to talk.

At the entrance of the starship's VIP restaurant, there were two storage cabinets containing nutrient solutions of various flavors for guests to take themselves.

Most people would choose to grab one and go, while a few would do like the Wang father and daughter, walking straight into the restaurant to dine.

The SVIP ticket price naturally included meals. Wang Tianwei looked at the menu provided on the light screen on the table and unceremoniously ordered roast meat and salad, striving for a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

And while ordering, she had already made up her mind to snag a few more tubes of nutrient solution on her way back.

Wang Yi chose a portion of grilled fish; the portion wasn't large, which was just right for him.

The food was served so quickly that Wang Tianwei suspected it was a pre-made meal, but considering current technology... boiling things at home seemed very fast too...

The father and daughter chatted as they ate, the atmosphere very harmonious.

Wang Tianwei's hair was quite eye-catching no matter where she was.

A yellow-haired young man wearing a hood originally just wanted to grab a tube of nutrient solution at the door. Seeing the hair color of the person inside, he paused for a moment, then stuffed the nutrient solution he had grabbed into his pocket and stepped into the restaurant.

He chose a seat in the most secluded corner that still allowed him to observe the whole area, and swiped his fingers across the ordering screen a few times.

Soon, a food delivery robot placed a milkshake in front of the blond youth.

As Wang Tianwei ate, she noticed someone observing her.

Her intuition was very accurate, and it was relying on this that she had successfully survived in the apocalypse for ten years.

She quietly cast a glance out of the corner of her eye.

She found that the other party was about the same age as her, didn't seem to have any malicious intent, and left after sitting for a while.

Perhaps someone who knew the original owner of her body?

Appearing on this starship at this time... could the other party also be going to the Qilin Military Academy?
