Chapter 559 - 578: One of Juju’s Suitors
After the meeting ended, Jiang Qiuqiu and her roommates were about to leave.
But just as they stepped out the door, their terminals all buzzed with a message from the Mecha Single Soldier System. It instructed them to take a detour to the nearby Mecha Department lecture hall for a new meeting.
And so, wave after wave of people surged toward the Mecha Department.
Without a doubt, these were all future Mecha Soldiers.
The girls in the crowd always drew the most attention.
-
Case in point, as Jiang Qiuqiu and her group walked along, a few bold boys trailed behind them, lost in their fantasies.
"Damn, I thought our Mecha Department didn’t have any girls."
"...Are you dreaming? There are some every year," a well-informed freshman sighed. "The pickings are just slim."
"A girl who isn’t mine might as well not exist. Hey, look at that group over there. You think I’ve got a shot if I go ask for a terminal number?"
"That group?" The short-haired man’s eyes went wide. "You’re greedy. You want the whole group? You’d be lucky to get even one!"
"If it’s just one, then how about the one in the middle? What do you think of my chances with her?"
"Let me see." The short-haired freshman glanced over, but they were standing diagonally behind Jiang Qiuqiu, so he couldn’t get a clear look at her face.
Young men are just that confident; a single glance on the street was enough to convince him this girl would one day be his girlfriend.
He chuckled and dragged his roommate forward. "Hurry, hurry! Let’s get ahead of them so I can get a look at my future girlfriend!"
"...You’re so shameless."
"Look at all these guys around us. Can a guy who worries about saving face ever get a girlfriend?"
Talking as they went, the short, black-haired boy who was being pulled along quickened his pace. Soon, the two of them were diagonally in front of the group of four.
The bold boy let out a "Whoa!" upon seeing Jiang Qiuqiu’s face. He felt his heart start to pound. "Oh, damn... she’s gorgeous..."
"She’s the ultimate catch of the Mecha Single Soldier System! Cauliflower, quick, check for me—what are the odds of me and my girlfriend getting together?"
Cauliflower glanced up.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
’What?!’ His mind reeled. ’It’s her! My goddess! She’s in the Mecha Single Soldier System? She’s my classmate?’
Then, his roommate’s voice droned in his ears: "...my girlfriend... my girlfriend... hehe, gonna go ask for her terminal number... what do you think?"
"I think it’s a terrible idea," he said, grabbing his roommate.
Roommate: ???
"And another thing—who said she’s your girlfriend? She’s not!"
"Cauliflower, what’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for her too—"
"She’s my goddess." Cauliflower then briefly explained who Jiang Juju was.
Who would have thought that after hearing all this, his roommate would only get more interested. "Whoa! She’s a huge streamer and a great cook? Then I *really* have to get her terminal number. If I pull it off, I score a total goddess—no downside..."
He hadn’t even finished speaking when he saw Cauliflower stop in his tracks and stand up straight, his spiritual power faintly fluctuating.
"?"
"You’re my roommate, but if you keep talking like that, I’m going to punch you."
"..."
’Alright, alright, forget it then.’
Drawing just as much attention as Jiang Qiuqiu and her friends was Huo Jia.
As the freshman with the highest spiritual power and the only Mecha Soldier with an S-level talent, Huo Jia had every right to be arrogant.
School had only just begun, but his photos, his achievements, and his family background had already been thoroughly picked apart and gawked at by the masses.
Who wouldn’t envy someone like that?
You’re born in the same universe, grow up in the same universe, and you’re both human, yet he has S-Class spiritual power, comes from a wealthy family, and has received an elite education since birth.
You didn’t have to wait to see what the future held for him; you could already see the brilliant aura he radiated.
