Chapter 114: 114 It’s fate~

Mechanical Materials Department.

After the old professor Ye Hong finished the lecture and announced the end of the class, he left the podium with a serious face and without a word.

Students huddled together in small groups, discussing everything that had happened in the class, especially how Ji You voluntarily gave up her right to attend classes in exchange for using points to access them?

This shocked everyone.

Many students felt that Ji You was too impulsive and irrational. Exchange points for courses? Provide your own materials? Was it that easy? How difficult it was to earn points was something all the new students of the 131st intake, after going through a drill, understood very well.

There were 5000 new students, who all participated in the drill together. Students from the Mecha Battle Department, Mechanical Manufacturing System, Mechanical Department... these departments were filled with students who had strong inherent talents. And what about the Mechanical Materials Department?

Material processing didn’t require strong physical fitness or powerful spiritual power. Their work was essentially equivalent to that of assembly line workers; mastering one or two processing methods was enough to enter the laboratory of a Mechanical Manufacturing Master or a research institute to specialize in handling materials. Therefore, the talent of the students in the Material Department was generally mediocre, neither their spiritual power nor physical strength stood out.

These students, when entering the drill field, naturally became lambs to the slaughter and thus were the first to be eliminated.

This time, even more than half of them scored zero points.

What about Ji You with the number 4444?

She was only a Double E, but not only did she survive until the end, she also became the best in the field. After the video was broadcast, most people had seen it. After watching, many were silent. Now that they witnessed her make such a decision with their own eyes, everyone fell silent.

"She... has a success rate of 40%?"

"How did she manage that?"

"Sister Xu Siyu, what is the current success rate now?"

"14%, I’ve already asked my brother, only 14%, and it’s still unstable."

"I heard that Sister Xu Siyu had a success rate of only 12% when she entered the school, and until now, it’s only fluctuated between 12-14%."

"Do you think, between the two of them, who copied whom?"

"That’s hard to say."

"But I’m sure that student Ji You number 4444 isn’t too bad either. Have you seen the way she handles materials? Especially her hands, they look white and clean, but her palms are all calloused... In our time, whose hands would still have calluses? A skin softener would repair that immediately. But her hands are covered with calluses? What does this suggest? It proves she must often work with her hands on making and processing materials; she is definitely someone who can sit down and practice her skills diligently."

"But—Sister Xu Siyu is the goddess of our department, a role model in the hearts of many... She wouldn’t do such a thing, would she?"

"Who can be certain what the truth is..."

"I’ve watched all of Ji You number 4444’s drill videos. With her talent, even in such a dire situation, she was still able to survive until the end on her own ability and quick thinking. Those with more talent than her lacked her decisiveness and ingenuity. Those with less talent than her lacked her calmness and composure... Anyway, if it were me, I certainly couldn’t achieve what she did. I truly admire her."

"She deserved to be the best in the field."

"It is said that she’s an orphan; after compensating Sister Xu Siyu with 100,000 credit points, she was left penniless. And this time, she still had the heart to take on a student loan, entering as a self-paying student. Do you know how much money a self-paying student has to spend per semester, other than tuition? At least three hundred thousand. Who among you could do that?"

"I... can’t do it."

"I... also can’t."

"I... certainly can’t."

"I sincerely admire students like Ji You and have no ill feelings towards her. But the matter between her and Sister Xu Siyu still can’t be concluded, so I hope everyone won’t spread rumors recklessly, nor should you take sides lightly, nor attack anyone. What we need to do is to think rationally and look at things reasonably. Can you all do that?" said the girl who seemed to have strong leadership, looking around at her fellow students.

"Sure."

"Alright."

"Of course. I don’t dislike Ji You number 4444 at all."

Ji You was completely unaware of everything happening in the classroom, as she was hurrying to the Mechanical Manufacturing System’s class. Just as she reached the entrance of the classroom, she suddenly received a communication from Mu Jianling, the instructor of the Mecha Battle Department.

Ji You was incredibly shocked: "Teacher, what did you just say?"

Mu Jianling kept a cold face and didn’t repeat himself, but instead said: "Hurry up to the Mecha Battle Department. Late arrivals will be treated as truancy and the corresponding academic points will be deducted."

Immediately after, the communication was cut off.

Ji You: "!!!"

What?

Isn’t it said that the fee-paying classes are very casual?

You attend whichever class you want, right?

Her classmate Sheng Qingyan was even lazier to attend class today, sleeping cozily in the dormitory. Ji You wanted to hitch a ride with his Floating Car but failed to catch it.

How come she was forced to attend class?

Ji You was really baffled.

After all, she had decided to give up on becoming combat-oriented talent after receiving the bad news about her abnormal spiritual power last night, opting instead for a support-oriented career path. Therefore, her future direction had already been set on Mechanical Manufacturing and Material Processing.

The instructor from the Mecha Battle Department is asking her to go to class immediately?

Ji You: "...What happened?"

She quickly checked the class schedule, only to find that there was less than 10 minutes left. Ji You gritted her teeth and spent 1 credit point to take an automated Floating Car, and only then did she rush into the classroom just before the class bell rang.

Compared to the Material Department’s classrooms, the Combat Department’s was even more spacious. Aside from the training equipment, the classroom was almost devoid of any superfluous clutter. Ji You just spotted an empty seat and promptly plopped down into it.

As soon as she sat down, someone patted her shoulder, and Yue Qiguang asked with an annoyed face, "Hey~ dummy, did you walk into the wrong place?"

Ji You: "..."

To her left was Yue Qiguang, to her right was Yue Qiyuan.

She lifted her eyes to look forward, and sitting there was Chu Jiaojiao.

She turned her head to peer behind, and there was Shen Changqing.

Ji You smirked and laughed, "Fate, huh."

No one else spoke, but Yue Qiyuan was already frowning, "4444, have you really taken the wrong medication? Do you know where the stool you’re sitting on came from?" Is the Mecha Battle Department that easy to goof off in?

Ji You forced a smile and said, "I didn’t know at first, but seeing you guys, I’m sure of it, this is the Physical fitness training room of the Mecha Battle Department. No mistake." Didn’t walk into the wrong place, Yingyingying~

So, I won’t be marked as truant.

Chu Jiaojiao finally realized it was Ji You who had come and immediately turned around, greeting her with a sneaky smile, "Classmate Ji You, you look really pretty today."

Ji You: "..."

After a few seconds of silence.

Ji You pointed to her own face, asking, "This sullen face, are you sure it looks good?"

Chu Jiaojiao blinked, stared at Ji You without letting go, and said earnestly, "Every expression of yours is pretty."

Ji You: "..."

Confirmed.

It’s a case of aesthetic disorder, no doubt.

Ji You didn’t want to bother with her and turned her body to look at Shen Changqing, showing a flattering smile, "Classmate Shen Changqing, do you want to have lunch together after class?"

Shen Changqing looked up, gazing at the sky.
