Chapter 25 Part 1 一 Do Not Casually Speculate About the Grandmaster’s Preferences.
When the production team saw the results, they were so frustrated that they stared at the screen for half a day and almost vomited blood.
What the hell is this?!
The other guests, who were sitting in front of their computer screens and were originally full of confidence, were watching the time and counting down the seconds. Just as they were about to click on their chosen items, they found that the whole screen had turned gray.
They were stunned to see that their chosen items had been picked. They quickly scanned the screen for a while and finally found one unselected item in the corner.
A pair of underwear.
The guests :…
Grass.
. . . . .
The script was nearing its end, and the crew had taken a spaceship to the planet Ketan.
Unlike the previous locations, planet Ketan was a highly developed planet. It had not joined the Interstellar Federation and and had developed independently on its own in the distant border.
Skyscrapers hung in the air, connected by a highway that stretched to the horizon. Massive statues stood tall in the city, while transparent glass panels linked various sections. Various flying vehicles crisscrossed the sky.
This planet was filled with a sense of technology.
The film crew had already talked to the person in charge of the relevant scenic spot beforehand. They signed a contract remotely, so now they just had to wait for the crew to move in.
When the crew arrived, the logistics staff began setting up, while Bai Ruogu decided to take advantage of this break to go outside and have a look around.
He stepped out of the scenic area and, just as he reached the entrance, suddenly turned around to look up.
There was a huge statue standing silently, enduring the wind and rain for who knows how long.
He squinted to focus and saw that there was a crack on the statue’s face.
At that moment, two staff members walked past him. Noticing his gaze, they looked up in the same direction, then whispered to each other.
“A perfectly fine statue cracked just like that, even though it had been fine for years.”
“Yeah, like you said, it’s been so many years. It was bound to crack.”
Bai Ruogu shook his head, his eyes cast in shadow by his eyelashes, then he turned and walked away.
The technology here was highly developed, making it easy to buy a lot of specialized materials.
Bai Ruogu searched the map and found that the nearest materials trading market was located in the Ketan Empire Mecha Academy, not too far away.
It made sense, given that the Mecha Academy itself required a large amount of materials, so it wasn’t surprising that it had a trading market.
With Su Miao’s consent, Bai Ruogu fed the small ball two batteries, which could keep it going for an hour and a half.
The small ball immediately became lively, its big eyes opening wide as it looked around, seemingly observing the surroundings.
Bai Ruogu knew that the small ball liked his warmth and that it wanted to stick to him for at least three hours every day, so he held it in his palm, wrapping the entire small ball with the warmth of his hand. This way, he wouldn’t waste the little ball’s valuable time spent with him.
Sure enough, the originally elastic small ball quickly softened, becoming flatter and sticking to every gap in his hand. You could even see the small ball’s once-round eyes narrowing through the gaps in his fingers.
The small ball continued to observe the surroundings, but it was doing so in a state of extreme comfort.
Su Miao believed this would maintain the best condition for the small ball, so he naturally accepted it, letting his body relax completely, almost to the point of melting.
The Mecha Academy came into view. Looking from a distance, the magnificent buildings towered majestically.
The academy’s grand entrance was magnificent and ornate, with a plaque above it depicting an ancient-style globe. The calligraphy on the plaque flowed gracefully, with strokes that resembled dragons and snakes, exuding a carefree and elegant style.
“Ketan Empire Mecha Academy”
The characters were in Chinese, but very few people used them now. They were considered symbols of ancient culture or a sign of respect for certain events and places.
If it were just a simple plaque, that would have been fine. But the familiar handwriting made his eyebrow twitch.
The characters were written in pen, and each stroke and line felt so familiar.
He clearly couldn’t remember writing this line, but there it was, neatly arranged in front of him.
Bai Ruogu:…
This school… He suddenly had a premonition that the upcoming events would probably have a lot to do with him.
At the entrance, he submitted his information using his smart brain and followed the navigation to his destination.
Along the way, he could see some diligent students sitting on benches reading books. If he had ignored the name <Bai Ruogu’s Mecha Theory> on the book covers, he believed his mood would have been quite calm.
He continued walking, but a large statue blocked his way. When he looked up, he was struck by how familiar the figure was—it was incredibly familiar.
Bai Ruogu:…
Ahem, stay calm. This is quite a normal occurrence.
He passed by an academic building, and at that moment, he heard a teacher’s angry reprimand through the window.
“Look at you! The final exam is coming up, and you’re still sleeping? Who do you think is going to tutor you in your dreams?!”
“Um… I dreamt of the Grandmaster. He patted my shoulder and said it’s all good, he’d take care of the exams for me.”
Bai Ruogu quietly distanced himself:…
No, that’s not possible, kid. Learning is something you have to rely on yourself for.
