Chapter 14 - Chapter 8

Next is the area designated for Martial Emperor Bamboo.

Bamboo, this plant is very dominant. Once it adapts to the environment, its roots will become very tight, refusing the growth of other plants.

What she can do is isolate them, and in the next few days, she needs to find some materials to block it.

Su Xiaocai pondered over the plan and unconsciously, it was already past noon.

Looking at today's results, Su Xiaocai was very satisfied, and today's work ends here.

The excavator, which Su Xiaocai cheerfully lent to three new classmates, should hopefully be used well and not broken, because repairs also require time.

Looking back at the field that will belong to her for the next few years, she considered building a small wooden house to store small robots, allowing them to monitor and catch insects day and night alternately.

Returning to the dormitory, none of the roommates were there.

Energetic as Daddy Su described, Su Xiaocai looked around and started fiddling with the room's balcony.

Afraid of mosquitoes, Su Xiaocai planted several kinds of mosquito repellent plants.

She hung some hooks on the balcony's metal railing, laid down planks, stacked several layers, and tested the plank's load capacity.

Only then did she place the pot plants up there.

The pots were staggered and arranged aesthetically.

Delicate berry seedlings, peppers, scallions, and leeks all in two pots. The blooming flowers, she pruned the flowers and leaves at the top and selected several easy-to-survive cuttings.

Of course, Su Xiaocai didn't do any of it by hand.

Daddy Su saying she's useless wasn't a joke, her hands are "cursed," anything she plants dies, greatly hindering her vegetable-growing ambitions.

Fortunately, she's smart. If she can't plant by hand, she'll use robots.

On Su's Planet, renewable energy is abundant, with plenty of wind and solar energy, so she can use it freely without worrying about the robots' consumption.

Otherwise, just the energy costs would be quite expensive.

The small robots planted the flower branches under Su Xiaocai's instructions.

Once everything was planted, it was already two thirty in the afternoon. Su Xiaocai quickly took a shower and rushed to the simulation mecha pod venue.

When she arrived, Wu Qingqing happened to come out of the mecha pod, looking upset.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaocai looked at the time. It was exactly three o'clock, and she wasn't late.

Wu Qingqing slowly sat down, her head buried in her knees, dejectedly said, "I lost again."

Su Xiaocai sat down as well, her mouth munching on sweet potato chips freshly fried by Xiao Wanzi, crisp with a carefree attitude.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She handed over two tissues, placing them in Wu Qingqing's hand.

Wu Qingqing looked up, her eyes red, blowing her nose.

"Why aren't you comforting me?"

"I don't even know what happened to you." Without knowing the details, offering comfort haphazardly is the most foolish thing, it might end up being a thorn in someone's heart, making them resentful.

Because of her crying, someone occupied the simulation pod behind them.

"Let's talk outside." Wu Qingqing suggested.

The two girls walked out of the venue together and sat under a tree's shade, Su Xiaocai took out a small stool and offered Wu Qingqing some sweet potato chips.

Seeing her engage in a series of irrelevant operations, Wu Qingqing's mood stabilized a lot.

Su Xiaocai repeated, "You can tell your story, I promise not to tell anyone."

"Actually, it's not some hidden matter, many friends know about it."

The weather on Capital Star in August is somewhat stuffy, the blowing wind couldn't take away the sweat on their bodies, and sitting in the shade made it only slightly cooler.

Wu Qingqing began to talk about her family situation.

Her family is in the business of making mecha parts, not as prominent as the Xue Family, yet they are considered middle class among the wealthy.

"I'm the third child, with an elder brother and sister, one is a commander in the army, already at the rank of Captain. The other is a deputy secretary of the Star District Chief..."

With two exceptional older siblings, the parents and elders all hope that Wu Qingqing inherits the family business and becomes a business person, rather than a Mecha Master.

Initially, the family business was considered to be given to the eldest uncle's son, Wu Qingqing's cousin.

Unfortunately, the cousin as an alternate heir also has great potential as a Mecha Master, now in his third year of university, and if nothing unexpected happens, he'll also join the army.

In her senior year, in order to apply for the Mecha Department, Wu Qingqing had a big fight with her parents, at that time the cousin was also there, and heard the whole thing.

"My cousin laughed at me for being a girl, saying I don't have as much talent as him, told me not to waste time. Out of anger, I made a bet with him, boo hoo hoo..." Wu Qingqing's emotions surged, she couldn't help shedding a few tears.

"Am I too prone to crying?"

Su Xiaocai said, "Keep going."

Wu Qingqing was choked, what a ruthless roommate.

"I don't have a mind for business; my brother, sister, and cousin are all more astute than me, they not only do better academically, but even in my favorite driving skills, I can't surpass him."
