CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 14: SECRET OBSERVATION_2

The five Mecha Department professors who received the video: "..."

Their first impression was that it was another prank by the young ones in the department.

They immediately sent the video to their students, asking which nerd came up with this new gimmick so they could catch and give them a scolding.

After asking around, no one knew.

Until someone from the Agricultural Research Institute explained, "She’s Su Xiaocai from our institute. She’s a bit delicate and relies on machines for farming. Her noble hands and feet haven’t touched much dirt. That day she made a fool of herself, and we accidentally recorded it. I don’t know if you teachers have seen it, but if you have, you should quickly stop her embarrassing act."

The Mecha Department students: "..."

Daring to speak to the professors like that, they were doomed.

A "noble and delicate" girl could drive such an ugly mecha so skillfully, and she’s from the Agricultural Institute?

They couldn’t imagine how the professors would scold them, even kneeling for a lecture wouldn’t ease their anger.

And yet, if the Agricultural Institute felt embarrassed, why post it online?

Since the professors asked, they had to reply back.

The professors’ views were completely different from the students’.

Originally, they thought the student’s video was edited, with a bit of showing off.

But then they were told it was an agricultural student performing silly dances in the field, accidentally filmed by a classmate, and even the student might not know the video existed?

And it was unrelated to the Mecha Department?

The agility and complex movements the mecha displayed could already rival many senior students’ levels, even surpassing them.

If a truly talented student went into farming, it would be the biggest loss for the Mecha Department.

In recent years, alien invasions have been frequent, often leading to wars.

With war comes military achievements, and with achievements comes power. Military academies have always had fierce competition in sending talents to the battlefield.

Competition represents a struggle for benefits, and naturally, competitions arise to resolve issues peacefully.

Whoever can win the Mecha Championship of the Ten Stars System military academy can gain the rank of Captain, a real military rank.

Joining the military would mean obtaining a small unit’s rank.

In previous years, the winners now hold ranks as low as Major and as high as Admiral.

For schools, it’s also an irreplaceable honor.

In recent years, the military training has only placed in the top five, unable to compete for first. If there’s a good prospect, we absolutely cannot miss it.

"Shall we go have a look?" Two teachers were very curious about this student; if she’s really so amazing, her talent can’t be lost.

Said and done; the two teachers decided to try their luck and went to the fields for a look.

Coincidentally, Su Xiaocai, out of boredom, was piloting the mecha, doing Qi Sensing Exercises as if no one else was around, very engaging yet quite eye-searing.

These were things Su Xiaocai unconsciously did while thinking, unrelated to credit points, but about patents, after almost a month of prior urgent work.

The patent process has already started, and there’s no wall that doesn’t leak some wind. With new technology emerging, various bigwigs gather at Capital Star, wanting to obtain first-hand information.

But no one at the patent office was willing to reveal more, leaving them to subtly try to extract some useful intel from Zhang Rui Kai.

The banquet Wu Qingqing attended was specifically set for Zhang Rui Kai.

At this time, the two teachers watched expressionlessly as the mecha twisted and turned smoothly and fluidly.

Very good, this confirms it; the pilot is definitely an expert.

To verify if the pilot was indeed the Agricultural Institute’s student named Su Xiaocai, the two teachers didn’t approach but crouched on someone else’s field ridge watching Su Xiaocai play.

The two old men were quite conspicuous; Su Xiaocai stopped, and the mecha’s eyes met theirs.

For quite a while, seeing they didn’t leave or move, were they uncomfortable?

They didn’t look like it.

She opened the hatch and jumped out of the mecha, clapped her hands, and put the mecha away.

After observing them for a while and confirming they showed no signs of discomfort, she then rolled up her overalls, barefoot, and stepped into the field.

A small robot zipped past her, capturing a gracefully dancing butterfly and putting it into its belly’s insect cage; after accumulating some, it crushed them, returning them as fertilizer to the vegetables.

The small robot worked quite quickly, detecting another insect breaking out of its shell, it rushed over, digging a chubby worm out of a leaf.

The vegetables had few bug holes, thanks to these diligent robots.

Su Xiaocai patted its metal forehead, and the small robot’s electronic eyes blinked, "What’s up? What you lookin’ at?"

Su Xiaocai: "..." Shouldn’t have given you a language system, giving you a chance to mimic others.
