Chapter 85: Chapter 85 I Can’t Stop Anymore

In the blink of an eye.

Another two or three days passed.

During this time, Xu Lingjun still hadn’t gone to school.

At school, Su Huanqing, who was fully prepared and ready to go, was left hanging.

She felt like a helpless white cloud drifting in the clouds, only to be relentlessly blown up and down by the strong wind, suspended in mid-air and unable to land.

This wasn’t in the script.

If it weren’t for the consideration of her identity as a teacher, she might have already slammed the table in anger and stood up. Could it be that this Xu Lingjun was playing with her?

This isn’t how you play the game, why doesn’t he follow the proper route?

After two days of long-distance travel…

Wang Qingya, with her suitcase, finally stood in front of Zhanzheng College’s grand gate.

As one of the Four Great Academies, the Zhanzheng Academy lived up to any scholar’s expectations and imagination of a higher education institution.

A solemn and majestic gate.

On both sides, there were round small gates for students to pass in and out daily, above the largest gate, a massive, thick cannon pointing skyward, symbolizing the hatred and vigilance against the starry sky!

It reminded all students of Zhanzheng Academy that the threat comes from the starry sky, and it never stops. They are the brains of war, the weapons in the hands of warriors, and they must not slacken even a bit.

Wang Qingya sighed a little wearily.

Suddenly, she missed Xu Lingjun. That Transformation Capsule in his hand, which could forcibly stuff even something as large as a Mecha–if this device were to be popularized, I’d never have to awkwardly carry a suitcase again…

Initially, it was just for the engagement, for the guilt in her heart, but now, Wang Qingya suddenly realized that her fiance, Xu Lingjun, might be a treasure trove.

And his treasure trove is probably much larger than she could imagine…without even seriously delving into it, he’s already brought out so many treasures.

It feels like life after marriage won’t be lonely.

Yes, it’s decided.

Once this Mecha incident is over, I will find a way to seriously study what this Transformation Capsule is all about…at worst, I’ll just put Xiaojun’s name on it later.

Wang Qingya didn’t have the idea of keeping Xiaojun’s things to herself. Such good things should be shared with everyone.

Wang Qingya didn’t return to her dormitory.

Instead, she went directly to see her mentor with her suitcase.

Zhong Yuebai was a woman who looked around forty or fifty years old. The baptism of time hadn’t withered her beauty in the slightest; rather, her slightly graying hair added a touch of wisdom from the years.

She was seriously leaning over the desk, writing something.

Noticing her prized student passing by the window, her eyes couldn’t help but brighten, and she got up to open the door.

Watching Wang Qingya enter and change into slippers.

She smiled and said, “Qingya, you’ve finally come. I’ve really been waiting for you every day during this time. To be honest, I’ve always thought you’re a talent. Though you’re a bit headstrong, sometimes, for us weapon researchers, being headstrong is actually a good thing.”

Wang Qingya apologized, “Mentor, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you.”

“Such troubles are more than welcome. You are the hero who saved the entire Qingzhou City.”

Zhong Yuebai laughed, “But you really exceeded my expectations. I was also paying attention to your project before. To be honest, I wasn’t too optimistic–not because I didn’t approve, but because there were too many hurdles to overcome, too much time needed. Our Blue Star might not be able to hold on for that long. But I couldn’t have imagined that you could build a combat robot on your own and even put it into battle.”

“I was possessed at that time.”

Wang Qingya apologized, “The weapons and materials were bought from the black market through my dad. At the time, I just wanted to prove myself to you and ignored that Empire law prohibits civilians from possessing powerful lethal weapons. My dad, who dotes on me, couldn’t resist my request despite knowing it was illegal and agreed. I’ll need your help with this, or both my father and I might have to face military justice.”

This was her pre-prepared excuse.

How could a single person just casually build a nearly twenty-meter-tall giant mech? It’s not something that can be done with just hands…

So Wang Qingya pushed everything onto the black market.

Fortunately, her family had money; otherwise, even a ghost wouldn’t believe this reason.

But somehow, despite being full of lies, when Wang Qingya was most anxious, it was when she said that her dad dotes on her…

She thought to herself, if Xiaojun asked him, he would agree without a second thought.

But for me…

Alas… If it weren’t for having verified the DNA back then, I’d really suspect who his real child is.

But the black market doesn’t provide purchase channels or records in the first place, and my dad even forged records on purpose. Plus, with Zhanzheng Academy’s intervention… this matter is more or less suppressed.

Zhong Yuebai laughed, “Don’t worry, our Zhanzheng Academy specializes in weapon research for frontline warriors. As long as you can research powerful weapons to better defend the Great Xia Empire, we won’t mind if you have some unruly acts in between. Besides, rules are meant to bind the ordinary, not the talented.”

She nodded and said, “Don’t worry. You’ve done a great job. You built that robot under the permission of Zhanzheng Academy as an experimental model. It just happened to coincide with the outburst of the Mysterious Clan’s minions, so you had no choice but to rise to the occasion. This is a great contribution. Zhanzheng Academy has decided to return twice the academic credits you consumed in the past. However, I’m eager to know how you solved those problems you previously proposed. Do you have a detailed proposal?”

“I do.”

Receiving her mentor’s approval.

Only then did Wang Qingya let out a sigh of relief.

She hurriedly took out her proposal.

Zhong Yuebai poured herself a cup of tea, sat at the desk, and seriously read through it.

As she watched, she kept clicking her tongue in amazement, “Hmm, filling the joints with nitrogen liquid to reduce pressure, hmm… This indeed is a path worth trying, but your later proposal is even more ingenious. Cutting the armor to make simulated human movements–ingenuity! Sacrificing all defense for agility, but this greatly reduces defense.”

Wang Qingya said, “This is just my subsequent inference. The Freedom Mecha was experimented with this thought, but unfortunately, it failed. The Mecha exploded after combat. Currently, it’s better to research based on the previous path.”

Actually, she reversed it.

She derived the earlier conclusions from subsequent ones.

No other way, that robot is just so perfect, every aspect infinitely approaching perfection.

This can’t be researched by a single person or organization in a short time…

For a more reasonable explanation, Wang Qingya didn’t mind deducing these sophisticated theories into rough theories, paired with some suggestions from Xu Lingjun.

In his words, directly developing a Mecha was too exaggerated; starting with a Zaku would be more reasonable.

And then gradually release the theories!

Zhong Yuebai praised, “I didn’t expect your proposal to change so drastically now, almost overturning everything and starting anew. Such boldness, was it your fiance who advised you?”

Wang Qingya was shocked upon hearing this, her pretty face immediately turning blush red, and she exclaimed, “I… I only said it was Xiaojun, I didn’t say it was my fiance, how did you know, Mentor?”

Zhong Yuebai chuckled and said.

“You must know, Qingya, when the world was entrenched in feudal superstition, free love stood out; but when the whole world resumed free love, suddenly having a traditional arranged marriage was also rare and naturally drew special attention.”

Wang Qingya’s eyes wandered, thinking that she really tried her best to downplay Xiaojun’s existence.

But previously, it was already blown …

Now that everyone has seen those things, I can’t just take them back in broad daylight.

No way, I’ll just have to keep blowing it like this.

“He’s a talent; I can’t wait to chat with him.”

Zhong Yuebai laughed, “With this… hmm, Zaku proposal, I have full confidence we can get enough students interested in our research at Zhanzheng Academy. Qingya, your path to graduate school is secure.”

“Thank you, Mentor.”

Wang Qingya breathed a sigh of relief, unexpectedly realizing that a long-cherished wish of many years had been fulfilled.

She surprisingly wasn’t overly happy in her heart, though.

Wondering if she had revealed too much of Xiaojun to credit him?

But now, both her and his status being the way they are… even if she wanted to stop, she couldn’t, and just had to keep going.
