Ye Mu cast a cold glance at the person on the stage. He felt that this freckled individual who had suddenly appeared to challenge Luo Qi was somewhat off.
Luo Qi patted Ye Mu's hand. "Let's go, we're heading back."
Ye Mu let out a soft "mm." He saw the referee walking onto the stage, intending to help the freckled boy up. After all, he had lost the match and wouldn't be appearing at the primary school anymore.
In a corner of the audience, Mo Jue watched the freckled boy on the high platform with a dark expression, having already cursed him thoroughly in his mind.
He had already told the boy that Luo Qi wasn't easy to deal with, warning him not only about his wings but also about his strange methods that could affect people.
Yet, the boy hadn't heeded a single word.
Now, it was a mess. He had promised the freckled boy that even if he lost, he would find a new primary school to send him to. It was truly a case of losing the bride and the dowry.
Mo Jue snorted coldly, cursing the freckled boy for boasting about being able to walk all over the garbage planet at such a young age. He called him a waste and turned away angrily.
Just as Luo Qi had predicted, after Luo Qi's match with the freckled boy, news spread like wildfire through the primary school that Luo Qi could use a "sleep spell."
Until people figured out what kind of "magic" Luo Qi possessed, no one dared to challenge him again for a while.
Luo Qi found himself with a period of leisure, calmly waiting for the official enrollment at the primary school.
His other dorm mates hadn't been challenged either. After all, they were all ranked quite high, and no one was that audacious.
However, someone had challenged Lei Wa. Luo Qi went to watch Lei Wa's match. That guy truly lived up to his reputation as someone from Giant Star, possessing innate immense strength. He had simply thrown the challenger off the stage, his deterrence far more effective than Luo Qi's "sleep spell."
Four or five days passed in the blink of an eye. All students without enrollment qualifications had left the primary school, and Luo Qi and his peers began their formal studies.
The first lesson was the mecha piloting class that Luo Qi had been eagerly anticipating.
However, it was completely different from the practical combat training Luo Qi had imagined. The mecha piloting class, which sounded so aesthetically violent, began with… reciting texts.
Luo Qi was stunned.
Indeed, his expectations had been too high. The protagonists in novels and television shows who could summon wind and rain, pilot mechas to kick alien beasts, were all fake!
In reality, no matter who you were, whether you wanted to pilot a mecha or inherit a throne, the first step was still to recite texts.
Of course, the texts here were not poems or prose, but mechanical manufacturing theory, mechanical operation principles, and automation.
Besides the dense text, the books also contained miniature diagrams of mechanical structures. According to Ye Mu, to learn how to pilot a mecha and become a warrior,
one only needed to understand all mechanical principles and be able to handle any unexpected situation with the mecha on the battlefield.
However, if one wanted to become a mecha manufacturer or repairman in the future, or a mecha theory teacher,
they would need to memorize all the content in the books, including the miniature diagrams.
Luo Qi's mouth twitched. The teachers were truly hardworking.
Wouldn't that mean every teacher possessed the skill level of a mecha master?
Dejectedly, Luo Qi slumped onto the desk, his eyes fixed on the professional book that was almost half his height, letting out a helpless sigh.
A failing student truly couldn't do this.
A smile bloomed in Ye Mu's eyes. Every time Luo Qi encountered difficulties, he would evade them – evading professional courses, evading contests, evading his identity as the Insect Race's prince.
But every time something truly landed on him, he would give it his all.
Even though he acted nonchalantly every day, only liking to eat small cakes and sleep, his grades were still among the top when he graduated from Bella Kindergarten.
Ye Mu ruffled Luo Qi's head, smiling helplessly. "Didn't Luo Luo want to pilot a mecha? Are you backing down now?"
Luo Qi, still lying down, turned his face to the side, pretending not to hear. As long as he dodged quickly enough, the pain of memorizing would not catch up to him.
He knew, of course, that mastering a skill required effort, but he was simply lazy and wanted to escape.
Sometimes he wondered if, had he not come here, he wouldn't have to experience all of this, wouldn't have battles, and wouldn't have endless books to memorize.
Life might have been less exciting, but it would have been more stable.
Having been here for so long, he sometimes doubted if he was truly suited to be the protagonist of this transmigration, if he wasn't brave or tenacious enough.
Hiding in the shell of a child, surrounded by more children, it seemed he could feel at ease to enjoy a few more years of peace.
"You brat, that's a dangerous thought."
Luo Qi froze. "Brother 1, you haven't appeared in a long time."
111 looked at Luo Qi on the screen, who had grown much taller but still looked a bit dazed, and said with a cold laugh.
"If I don't show up, will you become so disheartened that you'll just kill yourself on the spot?"
Luo Qi was amused. "Brother 1, you don't know me well enough. I'm the most afraid of pain, so why would I commit suicide?
I'm just a bit lost, perhaps like a failing student suddenly thrown into the ocean of learning, wouldn't they bubble up a few times?"
111 ignored his teasing and sighed. "You are truly the worst host I've ever had."
Luo Qi pouted. Although he was teasing himself, he still felt a little wronged.
"That's a bit hurtful, don't you want that android body anymore?"
111 sneered. "If I wait for you to fix my body, the flowers will have withered. I went out precisely to handle this matter. Although you're lazy and useless, but..."
111's voice lowered. "Including all the hosts, you are still my favorite."
Luo Qi's eyes widened, a little flustered. "Did you just say... no, did I hear that wrong?"
111's electronic voice trembled, but having started, it was easier to continue. It went on to say,
"I said, you are the host this genius system likes the most. Even if you're not strong or brave, you are the kindest and most tender I've ever met.
Even if you haven't realized it yourself, the main system wouldn't lie. There must be a reason why it chose you.
So Luo Qi, don't be afraid."
Luo Qi's face turned a little red. "Am I that good?"
111's expression shifted. "Don't interrupt my work summary."
Luo Qi: "..."
