Chapter 471: Self-Mediocre Person

Tsk tsk tsk, my unschooled way also counts as being able to attend school.

Zhang Jie looked at this so-called school, feeling somewhat curious and also somewhat sentimental.

But more than that, it was the anticipation of gaining new knowledge.

Here, he had a learning environment beyond his previous imagination; he no longer needed to run around purchasing technology, handling connections, nor worry that his research might attract attention.

Here, it will be the best culture dish for Zhang Jie's growth!

He now lacks nothing!!!

Xiao Jiu also curiously looked around; Ship Life, humans—only these two races. Obviously, the Iron Law Star Alliance is not a place with strong inclusivity.

Here, Ship Life is not necessarily regarded as 'human'.

Xiao Jiu somewhat nervously grabbed Zhang Jie's sleeve; hearing that people here treat Ship Life as a commodity to trade, this is indeed a fact, not alarmist talk.

Fortunately, the morality here hasn't completely collapsed; many people still pity Ship Life.

For example, sending rescued Ship Life at one's own expense to the great benevolent person of the neighboring Intelligent Machinery Star Alliance.

But Ship Life accompanying humans is like having a backer; 'human rights' are the greatest right in this Star Alliance, and Ship Life with a pilot faces no danger whether eating a free meal, causing trouble, or stirring things up.

As long as your pilot does not abandon you and is willing to take responsibility for you.

Of course, Xiao Jiu would certainly not do that; what she fears now is the unknown things in this world.

"Huh? Xiao Jiu, I'm going to class; are you coming too?"

"Um... I..."

"Over there is the Ship Life rest area; the whole building is that."

"Go play, go play."

"Well... then I'll go..."

Xiao Jiu walked over reluctantly, and Zhang Jie watched her back, showing a faint smile.

Believe that Xiao Jiu can meet good playmates there; after all, Xiao Jiu is still quite pitiable, and Zhang Jie sincerely hopes she can have her own friends.

Saying that, Zhang Jie glanced at the several hundred million yuan of pocket money he had transferred to Xiao Jiu, and nodded satisfied.

His own Ship Girl must not be poor; he's going to class, hoping Xiao Jiu has fun.

"OBK! Ready to welcome my school life!"

Zhang Jie walked confidently toward the designated classroom; in the sky, tiny flying ships transformed from pocket-sized Ship Girls occasionally streaked across.

When they land not far from Zhang Jie, they turn into a little guy, say goodbye to their pilots, and then eagerly run toward the Ship Life rest area.

How strangely cute; who researched this little thing?

Oh, it turns out to be the professor who is about to give me a lecture; that's fine.

Zhang Jie calmed his emotions, followed the students' steps, and walked into the classroom.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu scratched her head, looking at the enormously huge building before her, feeling somewhat incredulous.

She had thought this place would be a school office, an important research building, or the core building of the campus, but she never imagined it was actually a venue exclusively for Ship Life entertainment.

But her guess was indeed correct; this is indeed a very important facility, where all kinds of Ship Life entertainment, training, and modification take place.

Unlike the school Xiao Jiu understood, this entire city is called a school!

Behind her, a group of little fellows only up to her thigh walked together, chatting and laughing as they entered; they seemed not at all as fearful as Xiao Jiu had imagined.

This is completely different from the thought currents she knows; how much this place resembles a civilization centered on Ship Life!

"Done!"

Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth and marched in headfirst.....

"You have begun your first class ever, "Application of Sequences in Quantum Material"; just looking at the name makes your brain feel swollen; in class, looking at those dense symbols, you only feel like you've fallen into a trap."

"But you won't easily compromise; you are a genius!"

"After the first class ended, you basically didn't understand it, but you found the previous course and kept trying to match it with what is currently being taught, to the point that you didn't even realize whose class you were listening to."

"Only when you arrived at the second class, "Acquisition and Folding of Space," did you belatedly realize that the teacher before you seemed to be the damn teacher from the previous class!"

"Ms. Yuan, a woman who looks under 25, may actually be older than the entire Iron Law Star Alliance; she is already a legend in academia."

"At this moment, she seems like a god, continually sowing miraculous seeds among her followers......"

"Well, damn it, this is completely the fantasy you had while zoning out in class; although you understand Space Components, you still can't comprehend what the other person is saying, and you're even more confused than in the last class."

"I don't know whether she does this for some purpose or out of responsibility; after each class she sends an electronic quiz for on-the-spot evaluation, and you, having learned nothing, can only rub your cheeks in pain as you hand in a blank sheet."

"Well, fine, you're just a waste, still calling yourself a genius; if the other party tells your parents, wouldn't you lose face all the way home?"

"But fortunately, among the later classes, only one is taught by Ms. Yuan; you finally breathed a sigh of relief and began the daily routine of listening to heavenly scriptures."

"After school, though your god has flown off who-knows-where, so that Xiao Jiu hugs your arm, chirping about those interesting things, you hear nothing at all."

"Xiao Jiu also noticed you were tired, so she gleefully closed her little mouth and sent you off to rest."

"At night, you toss and turn, unable to sleep, feeling that if you continue like this, you will completely be a mediocre person; you cannot just wait for death."

"Sleepiness? Irrelevant; the nightmares in your mind can keep you awake at all times, your body can survive even if shot in the heart, staying up late is nothing harmful to the body—just endure it!"

"Effort, and a brain that rewards effort, are the only things you can bring forth now; you have begun the daily grind of nonstop work."

"In the first week, you were like listening to heavenly scriptures; handing in blank papers became routine, each countdown had your name, and Ms. Yuan merely harshly criticized the old-timers who lingered in this course, paying no attention to your situation."

"In the second week, Qiong was repaired; seeing your current appearance, she felt very happy, your surroundings again had a gathering of three little ones, they went together to the Ship Life activity center, and only 7774 was looking at the textbook you brought back."

"Third week....."
