The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Official Classes Begin

Ji You didn’t receive a reply from Ryan, so she had to go to bed. Tomorrow she has several major classes to attend, which are mandatory. Otherwise, even as a self-funded student, if she doesn’t have enough academic points, getting her diploma will be quite challenging.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Ji You rushed to the teaching site of the Mechanical Materials Department.

Last night, Ji You and Xiao You discussed and decided to major in Mechanical Manufacturing and minor in Mechanical Materials.

As for Mecha Battle?

If Principal Hong hadn’t tested Ji You’s spiritual power, she might still consider it. But under the current circumstances, she clearly couldn’t achieve anything in Mecha Battle... Therefore, Ji You decided to focus on becoming a supportive talent.

There are many roads leading to Rome; there’s no need to stubbornly stick to Mecha Battle.

Ji You was the first person to arrive at the teaching site of the Mechanical Material Beginner Class. When she first arrived, she almost thought she was in the wrong place because it looked nothing like a classroom but rather like a giant Star Beast. The design of the Star Beast was strikingly realistic, resembling the one Ji You had seen on the Star Network fighting Admiral Bai Ji, named the Thunder Leopard Beast? Its two blood-red, terrifying eyes stared at every approaching person. Ji You’s legs wobbled weakly for a moment, and the classroom’s door was set in the Star Beast’s mouth, as if she were voluntarily walking into the Star Beast’s mouth.

Ji You, with trembling hands, pushed open the door, swiped her student information, and stepped inside.

Suddenly—

A gentle female voice rang out near her ear:

[Although Star Beasts are powerful, successfully overcoming your fear and stepping into the classroom shows that you are not weak at all. Believe in humanity—we will eventually conquer the Star Beasts.]

Ji You: ”...”

This—

Are they pouring a bowl of soul-soothing soup over my head?

How strange~

Then—

The gentle female voice continued:

[Student number 4444, Ji You, you are today’s first student to arrive in the classroom. We warmly welcome you here to study and wish you a pleasant learning journey.]

Hm?

This is a robot’s voice.

However, this setting is quite good.

The classroom, despite its fearsome appearance, was orderly on the inside, equipped with desks and chairs. Ji You chose a seat that she found pleasing; the desks look ordinary but were also black technology. The tools and materials needed for teaching could be directly taken out as needed, and the desks could be folded up anytime, as thin as cicada wings, taking up no space.

Soon.

Tap tap tap~

Footsteps sounded as other students began to enter the classroom.

Seeing that there was already someone there, a few girls paused in surprise, but they said nothing and found seats to sit down.

About ten minutes later, the teacher entered the classroom. Seeing him, Ji You’s face changed:

This person—

Isn’t he the old professor who rejected her admission during the interview?

The sudden appearance of this old professor made Ji You a bit worried; his appearance made him seem very difficult to get along with, a person very serious and strict.

The old professor glanced around and said, ”New students, let me introduce myself, I am Professor Ye Hong. This semester’s Mechanical Material Beginner Class will be conducted by me. I hope everyone will study hard.”

After finishing his speech, he said, ”First, let’s get to know a few basic materials...”

At this moment, various materials suddenly appeared on the students’ desks, including two black-painted items about one meter long that resembled tree branches, and several other substances including three types of powder and two types of liquids...

Ji You inspected them attentively.

It seemed that Professor Ye Hong did not notice Ji You, and didn’t pay much attention to her, allowing Ji You to relax since she was here to learn, not to cause trouble. As long as the professor was serious about teaching, all she needed to do was to study earnestly.

The old professor said: ”All materials must be processed before use, and our study in Mechanical Material Processing is to learn about various processing methods. First, I must correct a misconception; do not feel that what you are studying now is basic and therefore not worth attentive listening. The foundation is the cornerstone of everything. A great Mecha, especially one that is designed, will definitely draw everyone’s attention to its Mechanical Masters and Mechanical Warriors... However—without us, the Material Processing Masters, providing assistance, the Mecha would not be easily manufactured. As for other glories and honors? All would be mere empty talk...”

”So, our work is important.”

”Since you chose this course, you must have a sense of mission.”

”We humans, to this stage of development, because we understand division of labor and specialized duties. Some need to stand upfront, bearing all pressures, fighting against Star Beasts and interstellar pirates, while others need to support the frontline warriors from behind. And—our job is an indispensable support. Although we may be obscure and unknown, unable to enjoy too much glory...”

Ji You was listening attentively.

She found that although Professor Ye Hong seemed rigid, serious, and somewhat unapproachable, he was very serious during his lectures, sparing no detail.

Afterward.

Professor Ye Hong began the official lesson.

Today’s lesson was very simple, mainly introducing a few materials and summarizing the advantages and disadvantages currentPlayer of methods of processing materials.

Initially, Ji You was worried that Professor Ye Hong might make trouble for her, however, when he saw Ji You, he looked somewhat surprised, and after a brief glance, he ignored her. During his lecture, no student was distracted.

The entire classroom was actually a circular black-tech environment, 360 degrees, allowing you to look in any direction—front, back, left, right, below, above... what you see is all the scene of the old professor teaching—

In short, this is an invention that forces underachievers to listen attentively without getting distracted.

After discussing methods of processing materials, Professor Ye Hong suddenly said, ”What I have just shared are the existing methods, but if we are willing to invest our efforts, we ourselves can also develop and create some useful material processing methods.”

”For example—our department’s second-year student Xu Siyu is such a creative student. Before she formally entered the Lanyue Star Military Academy, she had already independently thought about and researched feasible methods.”

”This is very worth learning from, and very worth your reference.”

”Now, let me explain her method in detail.”

When he said this, admiration and approval for Xu Siyu shone in the eyes of the old professor Ye Hong—

And Ji You—

Her face suddenly paled the moment she heard the name Xu Siyu.
