Chapter 926: Chapter 945: Yes, I Will Join the Army
The dean put the old man out of his mind.
Qiuqiu hummed in affirmation. "He is a Mecha Soldier."
"Then he must be an exceptional person to have won your heart, Qiuqiu."
"Yes. He is."
"Then after you graduate... do you plan to join the army?"
"Yes, I will join the army." After graduating, she would open a healing restaurant. During wartime, she would go to the frontlines as a support Spirit Healing Master, and during peacetime, she would run her own little restaurant. Then, she could occasionally livestream, catch up on gossip, and pet the Little Panda. It was her dream life.
Since his student had a mind of her own, Dean Zhu didn’t press the matter, only advising, "Then you should practice more in the Mecha Single Soldier System. If you’re going to the battlefield, you need a stronger physique."
"I know!"
They chatted for a while longer about Spirit Healing, exchanging their views, before Qiuqiu finally left the office.
Walking out of the building, she realized it was almost time for lunch. Feeling a bit capricious today, she didn’t want to eat at the cafeteria and decided to go to the teachers’ apartments to cook a meal herself.
No sooner said than done. She took a small Hovercar over, heading straight for her destination. Opening the fridge, she found some beef leftover from her livestream the day before yesterday. Making quick work of it, Qiuqiu whipped up a beef tenderloin rice bowl.
Her appetite shot up.
Before digging in, Qiuqiu habitually divided the large portion of rice in the pot into two. She recorded the data and uploaded it to the food showcase first. Then, she kept one portion for herself and the other—she packed it up and had her robot butler take it to the courier station, sending it across the city to an office in the Military Department.
On such a freezing day, taking a big bite of smooth, tender, and juicy meat was truly wonderful.
And she wasn’t the only one who felt things were extraordinarily wonderful. The netizens surfing the New Star APP shared her sentiment.
There were college students, bored out of their minds, leaving their accounts idle in the black-screened livestream room. There were office workers taking a breather, who knew it wasn’t an odd-numbered day but still wanted to camp out in the livestream room. And there were gluttons, staring at the empty room just to satisfy their cravings.
Everyone had thought it would be another hopeless, lonely day. Suddenly, the livestream room hitched for a second. At first, they thought the mechanical brain had lagged again. But on second thought, this was a Level 10 Mechanical Brain—how could it possibly lag!
Then, in an instant, the food showcase refreshed.
At that moment, all other thoughts vanished from their minds. Seeing an extra plate of rice appear in the showcase, their hands spasmed wildly, frantically poking at their virtual screens.
It just so happened that there were fewer people online at this hour. Basically everyone who had been camping there managed to snag a portion. There were newcomers, and there were veterans. After rejoicing, they all went to the community forums to show off, causing another group of people to sigh in frustration.
[I only have myself to blame for not keeping watch every day!]
[It’s lunchtime. Did Juju cook a meal for herself?]
Although they felt regretful, there was no point in asking anymore. The small number of quotas had already been snatched up.
Mei Lin, who hadn’t been seen in a while, swept her gaze over these comments and stood up.
Seeing her rise, Jiang Xue came over and asked, "Miss, what is it?"
"I know where Qiuqiu is." Mei Lin was visibly conflicted. "Would it be alright for me to do business like this?"
"It’s fine! Miss, your ideas and creativity are absolutely brilliant."
"Mhm..." Mei Lin tugged at the hem of her skirt. "It’s a bit strange. Not only is doing business strange, but my current indecision is also very strange."
Mei Lin almost never felt conflicted. Because she could get anything she wanted, and she could banish anything she disliked. But right now, she was truly torn.
Some time ago, after the incident where she wanted to publicly support Qiuqiu but was locked at home by her father had passed, Mei Lin had initially been depressed, feeling that she had let Qiuqiu down. She felt that her father was not righteous enough.
But she hadn’t expected that to be just the beginning.
