Chapter 684: Chapter 703: No, the Department Transfer Has Taken a New Turn
"A Mecha. It can’t talk. You can record documentary-style videos, just film your everyday life."
"My everyday life?"
’What’s so interesting about that to record?’
"That’s right. You can join the New Star app, where I am now. The company just started, and if you sign a contract, you’ll get a guaranteed base salary of 1,000 Star Coins a month."
"!"
"..."
’A thousand Star Coins, just like that?’
"So, even if no one watches... you still get it?"
"Yes." Jiang Qiuqiu nodded. "But you have to believe in yourself. Someone will definitely watch you."
Michelle stopped asking. She had made up her mind. She was going for it!
Speaking of the soon-to-be Mecha Soldier, Liu Tingting remembered that the three-month period was almost up.
In the time she had lived with Jiang Qiuqiu, she had been completely captivated by the girl’s charm. She couldn’t stop her from transferring departments now, but—
"SOB SOB... Qiuqiu, the three months are almost over! When are you going to apply to not change dorms?"
"I really want to keep living with you!"
"They probably won’t move us even if I don’t apply."
"?"
"It seems like there’s been a new development."
"!!"
Liu Tingting’s eyes widened. "Qiuqiu, have you been won over by the Mecha Department? Are you planning to stay?"
"Conquered by the burning will to fight?" Meng Chun asked as well.
Michelle didn’t say anything, but you could tell she was happy too.
Jiang Qiuqiu hummed in agreement. "It’s true. When I think about leaving this place and how I’d never get to enjoy this kind of exhilarating feeling again, I just can’t bear to leave."
"That’s fantastic! We can still go to classes together in the future!"
"Yeah, and maybe we can even participate in the freshman team competition together at the end of the year or next year!"
"I’ll keep aiming for your level! I’ll work hard to get into Class A!"
"I’ll keep working hard too."
’I’ll work hard to stay here.’
’I’ll work hard to see it through to the end.’

The next day was Monday. In the early hours of the weekend, Jiang Qiuqiu had placed a large order on Taotao Fresh, purchasing a lot of ingredients and having the delivery bot send them to the faculty housing.
Because she had class, and some ingredients hadn’t arrived by noon, she simply scheduled the delivery for 6:30 PM. That way, she could pick them up right after class.
After another one of Teacher Mao’s practical classes, Jiang Qiuqiu, covered in sweat, went to the adjacent bathroom to shower. After changing her clothes and grabbing her large bag to head to the faculty housing, she found a familiar face standing at the door.
Huo Jia.
She raised her hand to greet him, but the boy walked up faster than she could speak. "You’re done?"
"Ah." He looked like he was here for something specific. Jiang Qiuqiu paused. "What’s up? Is there something you need, Huo Jia?"
"Are you... not going to train today?"
"I’m not."
’She’s really not going to train for so many days?’
Huo Jia frowned, but after frowning, he didn’t know what he should say.
"What is it? Are you looking for an opponent?"
"Yeah, I want to find a suitable opponent." ’Right, isn’t this a ready-made excuse?’ Huo Jia continued smoothly, "You’re extremely fast when you pilot Light Armor."
"I improve quickly when I practice with you."
"You flatter me. I improve quickly training with you, too."
"Then—" ’Shouldn’t we go train? More intense practice is the only way for you to adapt to a medium battle mecha more quickly!’
"But I really don’t have time today. I can find an opponent for you, though."
"?"
"Wait a moment, Huo Jia."
...
An hour later, Huo Jia was in the simulator room piloting his Mecha, sweat pouring down like rain. His lips were trembling from exhaustion.
Across from him, the upperclassman Rice was piloting the highest-level B1 Mecha. "You’re not good enough, kid."
’So he really is just a sparring partner.’
He clenched his fists.
"Again."
"Alright, alright. Come on, come on." Rice looked at Huo Jia with an expression full of affection.
’This isn’t a person, this is a walking piece of braised gugu meat.’
’SOB... I get a whole meal just for sparring for two hours! This is awesome! It’s no trouble at all. I could even throw in an extra two hours, as long as she throws in a few extra pieces of meat, hehe.’
"Come on, come on, let’s continue!"

Meanwhile, inside the faculty housing, Jiang Qiuqiu was inspecting the ingredients she had bought.
Most of the residences here were detached houses, one after another, and not too densely packed. That’s why Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t attract a crowd even while moving so many groceries.
