Chapter 195: Chapter 139: Are You a Mind Reader?

Shu Yao shot him a glance and brainwashed him one word at a time, "I. Am. Doing. Re. Pairs!"

You Dan fell silent.

"That’s too dangerous!" The recent burst of crackling sparks had made Wen Miaomiao’s heart clench. "Yaoyao, why don’t you send it in for repairs?"

Shu Yao said all in one breath, "This Flying Machine was a gift from my mom. If I send it for repairs, she’ll get a notification from the insurance company. Once she gets that, she’ll definitely ask me what happened today. I don’t want to worry her, and how am I supposed to explain getting blasted like this!"

You can’t be as wild as you used to be once you have a kid. And you still have to hold back when you have a mom. ’Sigh, this life is getting more and more oppressive.’

Shu Yao closed her eyes and said from the ladder, "I’m hungry. Can you order some takeout for me?"

"I’ll order!" Wen Miaomiao was especially proactive. "I recently discovered a really delicious place!"

She immediately went online to place the order.

When the takeout was brought back, Shu Yao and Ke Dancheng were left speechless looking at the little whitefish meal sets.

’Trying to show off in front of me, Mrs. Bao herself? How embarrassing.’

The clueless Wen Miaomiao was very generous, ordering one for everyone.

Shu Yao critically poked at the food with her chopsticks, took two sips of the fish soup, and was nearly choked to death by the flavor of the seasoning.

As if afraid they didn’t know, Wen Miaomiao announced, "This is the restaurant’s new little whitefish meal set! It’s made according to the recipe of that super popular food blogger, Mrs. Bao! It’s incredibly popular!"

Ke Dancheng was silent. ’That’s because they’ve never had the little whitefish meal made by Mrs. Bao’s own hands.’

Shu Yao ignored Wen Miaomiao’s comment and used her Light Brain to transfer a sum of money to Ke Dancheng.

Ke Dancheng, who received the transfer notification, quickly picked up his Light Brain. Just as he was counting the zeros, he heard Shu Yao say:

"The Austin Family Master gave me some compensation. This is your share. Don’t say it’s not enough."

Fearing he had miscounted, Ke Dancheng checked again.

A full ten million Star Coins! That was right!

Before he could even be surprised, he hurriedly tried to transfer it back.

"This is too much, I can’t accept it!" Ke Dancheng said humbly. "Sister Yao, you’ve already helped me so much. I’ve received so many favors from you, I don’t even know how I can repay you..."

Shu Yao didn’t bother with pleasantries. "Actually, since coming from the Lower Star District, I’ve discovered there are quite a lot of things to spend money on. You just buy a few things online, and the Star Coins in your account flow out like water. Sigh, raising a kid is such a money pit!"

Ke Dancheng glanced at the new equipment in the warehouse.

’The Star Coins spent here probably aren’t for raising a child...’

"If you don’t want to take the Star Coins, that’s fine too." Shu Yao slapped a piece of talisman paper down in front of him—it was the Space Talisman. "This is for you. Keep it safe, and use it well."

Holding the Space Talisman in his hand, Ke Dancheng treasured it so much he didn’t dare to grip it tightly.

He nodded, a little excitedly. "Thank you, Sister Yao!"

Before the others could gather around, he quickly tucked the Space Talisman into an inner pocket of his clothes, keeping it close to his body.

"I told you how to use it," Shu Yao instructed him. "This thing is very delicate. It can’t get wet, be burned, or get damaged, otherwise it will become useless. If you don’t empty its contents before it deactivates, then you can just consider yourself unlucky."

"What kind of treasure is that? Give your teacher one too~" Wei Jin’s eyes were filled with envy.

"School regulations state that teachers cannot accept gifts," Ke Dancheng said in a solemn tone.

"Tch~" Wei Jin put on an air of not caring, so as to maintain his dignity as a teacher.

"What did Yaoyao give you?" Wen Miaomiao’s eyes were full of curiosity.

Ke Dancheng glanced at Shu Yao. In truth, even without worrying about anyone’s reaction, he knew that a magical item like the Space Talisman shouldn’t be publicized.

’After all, innocence is no protection when you possess a treasure.’

"I got something too! I got something too!" Wen Miaomiao said with a smile. "Yaoyao gave me something, a super cool mask! I still have it!"

"Ah... you still have it." Shu Yao said to the furiously nodding Wen Miaomiao, "Remember to find some time to return it to me."

Wen Miaomiao’s face fell with disappointment.

Seeing her expression, Shu Yao seemed to take pity on her. "You can keep it if you want, but it’s best not to let anyone else see it."

Wen Miaomiao’s expression instantly brightened.

"Sister Yao." Ke Dancheng gestured toward his inner pocket. "Your plan to get into Imperial University Agricultural College and double major in mysterious science... is it related to this?"

Shu Yao looked at him in surprise. "Sometimes I really wonder if you’re a mind reader."

Feeling like he was being praised, Ke Dancheng felt a little giddy. "Actually, if you connect all the dots, it’s not hard to guess what you’re planning."

Actually, getting into the Imperial University Agricultural College to grow potatoes or whatever was just a front. Shu Yao’s real goal was to go there to—

Grow herbs and make talismans.

She had checked. In the Interstellar Federation, a nation where mechanization had spread to every corner, only the Imperial University Agricultural College had fertile soil and advanced planting technology.

Seeing that they were more or less done eating, Shu Yao forcefully kicked them out. "Now that you’re fed and watered, go do whatever you need to do and stop bothering me! I can’t guarantee there won’t be an accident while I’m repairing this Flying Machine!"

After shooing away the nuisances, she holed up in the warehouse by herself for the better part of the day.

The work was almost complete.

Just as she was applying a colorful coat of paint to the Flying Machine’s fuselage, two uninvited guests arrived at the warehouse.

Sizing up the two unfamiliar faces, Shu Yao said, "You must have the wrong place."

"Not the wrong place, not at all." The old dean beamed as if he’d just found a treasure, his smile creating a web of charming wrinkles. "We were actually supposed to be here this morning."

As he spoke, he shot a resentful glance at Professor Gan.

If Professor Gan hadn’t insisted on inspecting the Flying Machine for potential safety hazards, he would have come to find his treasured Miss Shu much earlier.

Looking at Shu Yao, the old dean’s face was full of kindness and benevolence.

Professor Gan felt quite disgruntled at this. He glanced at Shu Yao, who could take on a Mecha bare-handed without being at a disadvantage, but ultimately said nothing.

The old dean stooped slightly, his hands clasped behind his back, and ambled over to the ladder. Although Shu Yao was looking down at him from above, he exuded a sharp, oppressive aura that couldn’t be ignored—one that would inspire awe even in someone of high status.

It also made Shu Yao realize that this visitor was no ordinary person.
