Luo Qi was very satisfied with his operation of exploring 111's true purpose in the shortest possible time—adjusting his expression and speaking style—in turn using 111's guilt to finally achieve his goal.
If he weren't still in class, he would have wanted to swing his little feet to show his smugness.
After all, he had been with Ceci and Ye Mu for so long, he had to learn a few tricks.
The little bug cub with human emotions had firmly gained the upper hand in its first encounter with the mechanical system!
111 was jumping with anger in the system space, but it was he himself who had first played the emotional card with Luo Qi and promised not to mock him anymore, so he could only smile like a customer service representative from some shopping software on Ancient Earth.
"Dear customer, are you satisfied with the service provided by system 111 just now?
Please give us a five-star review!"
Luo Qi said lazily, "Hmm... it was okay. You may withdraw."
111 was so angry he wanted to explode.
"Wait a minute, I haven't asked you yet, how long will it take to make your body?"
111 replied impatiently, "If it's fast, it'll take two to three years; if it's slow, it'll take about a year and a half."
Luo Qi nodded, ending a "friendly" exchange with his dear system, and also resolving a major issue. Luo Qi felt refreshed, and the thick stack of professional books on the table no longer looked so hideous.
Luo Qi opened one of the books and read for five minutes, from the first natural paragraph of the first page to the third natural paragraph, and then yawned.
Luo Qi: "..." As expected, I still can't do it QAQ
Ye Mu watched with amusement. He had noticed many times that this little bug cub beside him would inexplicably laugh, as if he could see things that others couldn't.
However, Luo Qi had never mentioned this to him or Ceci, so he didn't actively investigate.
Whatever it was, as long as Luo Qi was not in danger, that was enough.
"Luo Luo, why are you suddenly laughing? Do you find these books interesting?"
Luo Qi shook his head helplessly, "As expected, I'm still at odds with memorizing things. I've only read two natural paragraphs and I'm already sleepy."
Ye Mu smiled indulgently, "Didn't I tell you, you just need to understand the general content, you don't have to memorize it all."
Luo Qi tilted his head and looked at him, his eyes wide open, "I thought you would urge me to memorize all these books."
Ye Mu frowned with distress, "Can you memorize them?"
Luo Qi shook his head, "I can't memorize them."
Ye Mu winked, "Then that's that? You can't memorize them, and I urge you to memorize them, making you unhappy.
If you're unhappy, I'm unhappy too, so why would I do something so thankless?"
Luo Qi's eyes curved, as if the whole cub had lit up:
"Really? I know you promised my father that you would urge me to study hard. Aren't you afraid of failing to deliver?"
Ye Mu pondered, tapping the thick books on the table with his slender fingers, pushing them aside:
"Memorizing isn't the only way, Luo Luo. I have ways to help you pass the assessment, and I have ways to help you learn to pilot mechs or anything else. Don't be afraid."
Luo Qi's pupils contracted. This was the second time he had heard these three words today: don't be afraid.
Ye Mu's gaze was gentle, the kind Luo Qi had been familiar with since childhood, as if Ye Mu knew all his worries.
Luo Qi: "Okay, since you said so, I'm not afraid of anything."
Ye Mu suddenly leaned close to Luo Qi, startling the latter, "Do you want me to secretly take you to see mechs tonight?"
Luo Qi's eyes widened, "Really?"
"Really what?"
Suddenly, a large hand reached out and separated Luo Qi and Ye Mu's faces to the sides.
Ye Yun looked at his son with a half-smile and repeated coldly, "Ye Mu, what do you want to take Luo Qi to do?"
Ye Mu faked a smile, "Nothing."
Ye Yun snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to, you brat. I advise you to behave yourself."
He knew his own son. To make the little prince of the insect race happy, this brat was willing to do anything.
Although up to now, this "anything" was still limited to a relatively moral and rule-abiding scope.
But as Ye Mu grew up, he became more opinionated, and Ye Yun always worried that Ye Mu would do something unsafe.
Ye Mu felt that he had been well-behaved since childhood. His only rebellion was staying on the insect planet every day. He didn't know why his father always thought he was unreliable.
He sighed helplessly, "I just want to take Luo Luo to see real mechs. He's a bit reluctant to memorize books."
Luo Qi's old face turned red. Why did the mischievous Ye Mu say it so easily?
Although he didn't like studying, it was too embarrassing to have his elders know about it.
Luo Qi watched as Ye Yun's expression changed slightly upon hearing that he didn't want to study, and he let out a long "Oh," raising his hand to flip through the thick books on the table.
"However, the course Luo Luo doesn't want to study is taught by me."
Luo Qi: "..." Oh dear.
Ye Yun showed Luo Qi a friendly smile with a teasing expression:
"However, whenever Luo Luo wants to sneak off to see mechs, I'll give you a leave of absence."
Luo Qi: "..." I can't tell if this is sarcasm or sincere at this moment.
Ye Mu was very happy. He knew that as long as he had a valid reason, Ye Yun would support him in whatever he did.
"Thank you, Dad. I'll ask my brother after class and have him bring the mech over for us to see."
Ye Yun nodded, "Okay, I'll just go ask him and have him bring the mech to the school, and we'll use his mech for class tomorrow."
Ye Mu smirked, "If my brother knows you're using the mech he bought with all his pocket money as a teaching tool, he'll definitely be angry."
Ye Yun stroked his chin, "That is indeed a problem. Then you should be the one to tell him."
Luo Qi, looking to his left and right, thought, "..." I have a feeling this is because of me, but not entirely because of me.
Ye Yun finally looked at Luo Qi and tapped the books on the table:
"Even if you can see mechs directly, you can't completely ignore the books, Luo Luo. If you don't understand anything, let Ye Mu teach you."
Luo Qi nodded blankly, feeling as if he had opened some strange door.
Ye Mu spread his hands towards Luo Qi, "See? As long as there's a valid reason, even for a small, trivial request, Dad will agree."
Luo Qi, red-faced and bewildered, thought, "..." If I heard correctly, you call that a valid reason? Do you mean my unwillingness to memorize books?
