Chapter 68 - 26: Game_2

"No need to rush. I still need to do the final debugging of the game, and there’s still a month and a half before the holiday." Su Xiaocai also needed to make some preparations for going into space.

...

Time flew by like a white steed passing a crack, swiftly slipping away.

As exams approached, Su Xiaocai sat on a stone bench under the dormitory building, hearing the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind above.

The weather on Capital Star had distinct seasons. It was summer now, and the breeze was suffocatingly hot.

Su Xiaocai was compiling data from the experimental field, preparing a report.

The increase in production of the coconut roll vegetables was quite successful, with yields doubling, taste unchanged, but pest resistance was average...

The next stage would see if the seed traits were stable.

The most regrettable in the experimental field was the unsuccessful cultivation of the sensitive fruit; it had a very unique growing environment requiring associated minerals.

Even using the professor’s climate-controlled room couldn’t transplant it successfully.

Instead, the potted ones were thriving because the soil was taken directly from the sensitive fruit’s place of origin.

But the survival was only temporary; in another two to three months, it would completely wither, and the fruits couldn’t be preserved.

Su Xiaocai was flipping through the electronic book to finalize the report. This assignment was crucial for her credits, so Su Xiaocai was very meticulous.

Under the shade, she wasn’t the only student; many seniors in business attire were coming and going.

Today was recruitment day, with many well-known companies coming to recruit from the military training program.

Su Xiaocai hadn’t expected to witness such a classic campus recruitment scene these days.

The girls dressed up beautifully, hoping to gain extra points at the recruitment.

This was the situation on the girls’ dormitory side, and it was even more lively on the boys’ side, where Wu Qingqing was visiting her cousin.

Though the siblings were rivals in mecha competitions, their relationship was still good.

Today, Mrs. Wu also came as a corporate recruiter to visit her daughter and brought some home-cooked food for the two of them.

So Wu Qingqing came alone to deliver food to Wu Feiyang.

Wu Feiyang looked around, not seeing anyone else with Wu Qingqing, and his expression fell, "Dear sister, why didn’t Su come with you?"

"She’s my mentor, from a different generation, I’d advise you not to fall too deeply."

"Has she not given me her contact all this time because she’s afraid of calling me ’master-in-law’?" Wu Feiyang was confident in his charm. If it weren’t for the age gap with Su Xiaocai, and her only being a freshman, along with his need to prepare for competitions, he would’ve started pursuing her by now.

By his senior year, before leaving school, he was determined to win her over.

"Shameless." Wu Qingqing didn’t think the playboy Wu Feiyang had a chance with Su Xiaocai; it was naïve of him and overly macho.

Speaking of ’master-in-law,’ she shuddered; no, absolutely not.

She would sooner break up a pair than give Wu Feiyang a chance.

Su Xiaocai was so smart and rational; if she were to choose, she’d choose someone who could provide emotional value.

The more Wu Qingqing thought about it, the more she felt she had lost to such a narcissist, which was disappointing.

Stuffing the large bag of snacks into Wu Feiyang’s arms, she sighed and walked away.

Wu Feiyang scratched his head, "What’s up with her?" Her mood suddenly dropped, making him hesitant to even ask Caicai for her contact.

A few roommates rushed over, throwing their arms around his shoulders and teasing, "Is she the Su you keep talking about?"

"Are you guys blind? You think she’s my Su? She’s my cousin, but I’m warning you, she’s a tomboy; if you try anything, she’ll break your legs."

"Haha, you can go after Su, but we can’t go after your cousin. You’re such a hypocrite." Everyone knew most of the Mecha Department entered the military, where females were few.

There simply weren’t enough to go around.

Mecha Department guys who wanted a complete family in the future would try to find a girlfriend on campus.

There were also many who vowed to stay single, depending on personal preference.

But the single guys in Wu Feiyang’s dorm were eager to get a girlfriend and experience the sweetness of romance.

Wu Feiyang shrugged, "You can try, but I can’t guarantee you’ll be intact after confessing."

His roommates quickly shook their heads: such a fierce cousin is best left to other brave souls.

...

After finishing her assignment, Su Xiaocai submitted it to Professor Li, packed up everything, and decided to check out the companies at the job fair.

She was curious about how others submitted resumes and handled their first interviews.

The recruitment event was held on the main campus road, with top companies from various star systems gathering there, along with tens of thousands of students, making for a lively scene.

While others were learning how to handle various interview situations, Su Xiaocai wandered around, paying attention to these companies’ qualifications, what they specifically produced, and their approach to recruitment.
