Cixi held the list of excellent primary schools on various planets, pointing to a line of text:
"Luo Luo, would you like to go to a primary school on Earth?"
Luo Qi curiously lifted his small head from the covers. "Earth? Dad, do you want me to attend school on Earth?"
For some reason, Cixi fell into a strange silence for a few seconds at such a simple question.
"Um... Do you want to hear good things or bad things, Luo Luo?"
Luo Qi, bewildered, casually replied, "Good things?"
Cixi then ruffled the little tuft of hair sticking up on Luo Qi's head. "Because Earth is safer, and aren't your good friends also from Earth? Don't you want to attend school with him?
Besides, the primary schools on Earth are quite good."
Luo Qi knew that for Cixi to say "quite good," the primary schools on Earth must be excellent.
But, "What about the bad things?"
Cixi chuckled, a hint of teasing in his eyes. "The best course at Earth's primary schools is Mech Studies, focusing on mental power control of mechs, mech combat, and so on."
Luo Qi's big eyes were filled with confusion. "So..."
"So, for a little bug cub whose本体 (original body) is a bit unstable, learning to pilot a mech would give you more self-preservation ability.
For a member of the insect race whose insect characteristics haven't even manifested much, humans are considered quite friendly."
After speaking, Cixi let out a soft laugh.
Luo Qi: "..."
Although he wasn't very smart, he still managed to extract two pieces of information from Cixi's words.
First, he was too weak.
Second, because he was too weak, he had to find a relatively weaker race so he wouldn't be bullied.
Moreover, he might even learn their methods of self-preservation.
The words of the aloof and omnipotent King of the Insect Race were not directed at any one person, but at everyone present (and one bug) QAQ.
Seeing Luo Qi's expression, as if his worldview had been shattered and could no longer be pieced together, Cixi thought for a moment and said,
"Dad doesn't mean anything else, it's mainly to protect you.
Look, the first lesson at the primary school on planet G256 is dissecting fire beasts.
The primary school in the Dwarf Star System studies the mining of red gold ore.
The primary school in the D32 system studies catching exotic beasts with bare hands.
... Um, how about you look at other schools too?"
Luo Qi said weakly, "Don't say anymore, Dad. I'll go to primary school on Earth, and attend school with Ye Mu."
Cixi rested his hand against his brow, concealing the smile in his eyes. He had a feeling that if he laughed now, the face-conscious little cub would surely become angry.
Luo Qi rolled around on the large bed, spending five minutes coming to terms with the increasingly harsh realities of the interstellar era that were unfolding before him as he grew older.
Luo Qi patted his face to cheer himself up. He had to keep working hard!
Work hard to become a reasonable, legal, and compliant couch potato!
A couch potato, a couch potato, first and foremost, he couldn't be a dead fish. Until he found someone else to replace him as the future King of the Insect Race, he had to live happily. T^T
Luo Qi sighed deeply, sat up from the bed, and returned to his carefree self, saying to Cixi,
"Dad, I'm going to find Ye Mu."
Cixi nodded, watching the little cub with a bird's nest of hair hop out of the bedroom, a small tooth mark still lingering on his cheek.
Luo Qi had just been impacted by the many inexplicable courses of this world and urgently needed to seek comfort from his brother Ye.
Even if he didn't think so himself, subconsciously, he always felt that no matter what the problem, Ye Mu would firmly stand in front of him.
Even if he was just a human cub of six or seven years old.
As soon as he opened the door, Luo Qi loudly called out to his brother Ye:
"Ye Mu! I'm going to attend school on Earth with you!"
"Luo Luo, do you want to go to school on Earth with me?"
At the same time, Ye Mu's voice sounded nearby. The hand he raised seemed to be about to knock on the door.
Ye Mu held a document he had "personally" written about basic mechs in his other hand. Hearing this, he smiled and said,
"Luo Luo, is that true?"
Luo Qi took the item from his hand and looked at it carefully, realizing he... couldn't understand it at all.
Ye Mu took his hand and led him to sit on the sofa. He said, "These are the basic courses that will be taught for admission to primary schools on Earth. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Luo Qi sighed and listlessly placed the document on a small table beside him. "I find that I don't understand anything."
Ye Mu looked at the document, then at Luo Qi, and keenly sensed that he was discouraged for more reasons than just the document, but he didn't know the specific reasons.
He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Luo Luo, do you still remember Ye Qi?"
Luo Qi rested his face on the armrest of the sofa, his chin like a small, round bun. "I remember. Is he your brother?"
Ye Mu nodded. "My brother attended school at a primary school on Earth. He said the food at primary school is very delicious, and we can taste Earth's delicacies then."
Luo Qi was amused. "It's not because the food is delicious that I want to go to school on Earth."
Ye Mu raised an eyebrow. "I know."
Luo Qi looked up and waved his small fist at Ye Mu. "I think you're just placating me!"
Ye Mu pursed his lips and smiled, enclosing Luo Qi's hand in his own, as if comparing the size of their hands.
"There are many primary schools on Earth, but the one we're going to is the best. Not only the cafeteria, but also the environment and teachers are the best on the entire Earth. Similarly, the students there are also the pride of Earth.
About ten years ago, primary schools on Earth began to accept students from other races in the galaxy, so most students are still humans."
Luo Qi was unconsciously drawn in by Ye Mu's attention. "So, there are no insect race members either?"
He actually had the answer as soon as he asked the question. Indeed, Ye Mu nodded. "If there are insect race students, you would be the first."
Luo Qi pouted. "Are you here to comfort me or discourage me?"
Ye Mu pinched Luo Qi's cheek, carefully avoiding the round tooth mark on Luo Qi's face.
"It's neither comfort nor discouragement. I think the insect race is truly formidable.
Whether on Earth or other planets, there have been no insect race students before because of their strong bodies, high technological level, and mysterious and powerful nature, they don't need the assistance of mechs or any other equipment.
Luo Luo, you will be this powerful in the future too."
