Little Spoon did not understand why Qiao Ci said that, but seeing that Qiao Ci did not intend to answer it.
It simply took care of itself and ran to Qiao Xi's room to see why she was so reluctant.
The little black worm wriggled its way back, and by the time it returned to its small bed, the whole worm was exhausted.
Hearing the noise, Qiao Xi turned on the light and saw that the worm, which had been golden a moment ago, had turned the color of black pepper.
Qiao Xi was somewhat surprised, thinking that the worm was joking with her, so she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Why did you turn black after sleeping, are you a chameleon?"
As she said that, she reached out and picked it up, only to get a handful of ash on her hand...
This completely baffled Qiao Xi!
It looked like it had been burned by something.
Wasn't it the Emperor of the Insect Race, Long Mieshi? Wouldn't it be foolish enough to burn itself? Then who had burned it like this?
Long Mieshi's entire worm body was in extreme pain.
This was not the most important thing.
He found that he could not even transform into human form!
What had that woman done to him?
Qiao Xi swept over the little black worm without a sound, her heart filled with surprise.
Why did the little black worm seem so dull, lacking its usual liveliness?
Perhaps her guess was wrong, and this was not the Emperor of the Insect Race, but just happened to have a similar color?
After a lifetime, she knew that the king of the insect race was a golden, cute-looking insect, and when transformed into human form, he was handsome and devilish. The current insect form's liveliness matched, and only lacked the human form transformation. Where had something gone wrong?
At this moment, Qiao Xi began to speculate conspiratorially, thinking that something must have happened within the insect race, and thus the king of the insect race had been ambushed!
And it was ambushed silently, right in front of her.
Qiao Xi wiped the little black worm clean. Its body was black, white, and yellow in patches, looking somewhat disgusting, but she remained expressionless and continued to smile, "Poor little one, sister will protect you, be good."
Little Spoon got goosebumps watching her, finding it a bit of an eyesore, so it didn't pay much attention to her anymore.
Interstellar Academy,
When Qiao Ci returned to the academy, she plunged headfirst into mecha research.
A kind senior saw Qiao Ci obsessively poring over it and went forward to advise her, "Qiao Ci, this mecha no longer has any research value. It's heavy and old, and the damage it causes is like a tickle to the rapidly evolving insect race. It offers no advantage in combat against the insect race."
"If you are really interested in mechas, I can find someone to guide you, or you can research some more advanced mechas." Yu Jiangyan's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, thinking that Qiao Ci was stimulated by her lack of mental power.
The mecha she was tinkering with was something that freshmen learned, as its structure was simple and it belonged to basic knowledge.
However, it was only for learning, and understanding its principles was enough; there was no need to research it specifically.
As a result, as soon as Qiao Ci arrived, she spent all her time tinkering with this mecha. Don't let a small loss lead to a great one and miss out on learning important knowledge.
Qiao Ci knew he was well-intentioned, "Thank you, senior. I think this mecha still has room for modification, and I want to give it a try."
"Even if there is room for modification, it won't have much effect. This is a batch of machines that have already been eliminated..." Before Yu Jiangyan could finish speaking, Qiao Ci dived back into the mecha.
...
Feeling that she had gone mad, Yu Jiangyan stopped bothering her.
After all, he had fulfilled his obligation as a senior. Whether she listened or not was her own business.
Little Spoon, in the space, saw Qiao Ci twisting this and dismantling that, and curiously asked, "Host, the original host knew nothing about mechas. Are you... purely pursuing a personal hobby?"
Qiao Ci replied without thinking, "Something like that. I was quite interested in mechas for a while, so I researched them. This mecha has already been eliminated, so it's not bad to make use of waste."
For a while???
Which while did she mean?
Little Spoon was stunned.
It knew that Qiao Ci was not simple, that she was an invisible powerhouse, but knowing everything was a bit too much.
It opened and closed its mouth, and tentatively asked, "Host, have you been to similar interstellar worlds before?"
Qiao Ci glanced at it lightly, "What do you think?"
Little Spoon immediately shut its mouth and decisively locked itself in the small dark room.
It didn't think! It couldn't think! It was not worthy of thinking! It would go into the small dark room to reflect!
Qiao Ci: ...
She was just about to reveal a little of her background to Little Spoon, but it was so timid???
Qiao Ci sighed and buried her head in tinkering with the mecha again.
The annual mecha competition was approaching, and the mecha class was all frowning.
"Alas, the time of humiliation is here again, Mom, I want to go home~"
"You little brat, get lost! Who wins and who loses is not yet determined. I, Wang Lao Ba, am not convinced!!!"
"The Imperial Academy has always had stronger mecha lethality and flexibility than our Interstellar Academy. They have always had the upper hand. Every time after the competition, I don't dare to lift my head when walking in the academy..."
"It can't be helped, we've disgraced the academy, woo woo woo~"
Qiao Ci had almost finished modifying the mecha and would surely complete the modification before the competition.
It didn't matter that she didn't have mental power; she would take her little darling to show off.
The mecha class had been working day and night recently, spending almost all their time in the research class, trying to cram at the last minute and research more practical mechas.
Qiao Ci also went with the flow, staying in the research class with them. When others were busy, she would occasionally step up and say a few words,
"You can place this part a bit further back, and the mecha's flexibility will be higher."
"You installed it incorrectly, it should be like this, ah, yes, yes, yes."
"Doesn't the textbook explain this? Have you memorized the theory, and if you do it this way, the mecha's balance will be unstable."
???
???
???
Everyone stared at Qiao Ci, bewildered, and did as she said, only to find that it was true.
They all looked at Qiao Ci, wondering where this big shot had come from.
"Qiao Ci, didn't you just join the mecha class? How do you know so much?"
Qiao Ci picked up a book and pointed to the knowledge points she had just mentioned, "These are all basic, and they are all in the book. You always think about higher-level things but ignore the fundamentals, putting the cart before the horse."
Yu Jiangyan looked carefully and found that it was not as simple as she said. She had integrated many basic things and come up with some alternative conclusions.
Such powerful logic and thinking could definitely be called genius, but it was a pity...
She had no mental power at all and could not control the mecha. Her research on mechas could only remain theoretical. After all, she was a woman with limited strength and could not independently complete the production of a mecha, which also meant that she could not graduate.
