Wanqi Siling
Chapter 122 Brilliant Potential
"I think you must be full of doubts as to why I'm your personal teacher in the holographic space."
Mingmei, who had just logged in on time according to the schedule, saw that Cheshire was already online, standing there smiling and staring at her.
She had a feeling that this wasn't a good sign.
"Well... I'm troubling you, Teacher."
Mingmei started by showing weakness, while also wondering how she had received Cheshire's "care."
Was it because of her unlucky second brother?
"When you entered the school, your physique level was only C, and your mental strength was S. Actually, you were a little short of the standard for entering the special recruitment class."
Cheshire's straightforwardness surprised Mingmei a bit. "However, with the joint letters of recommendation from the old headmaster and several legion commanders, you could indeed enter."
Mingmei: "..."
Although she didn't know who the old headmaster Cheshire was talking about was, or which legion commanders they were, Mingmei understood Cheshire's meaning. Wasn't this blatantly saying that Mingmei, you got in through connections?
Seeing that Mingmei still looked "unfazed" after hearing this, Cheshire suddenly laughed.
Well, although Mingmei's expression was indeed calm, the curious light in her eyes flickered, revealing that she was very nervous.
Moreover, being laughed at by Cheshire made Mingmei even more flustered.
What could be worse than being found out for using connections, and having no reason to refute it!
"That... I will work hard..."
"Looking solely at the results, you didn't reach the initial standard. However, Mingmei, do you remember what I said a few days ago? Did you re-examine your physical condition?"
"No... I plan to go out during the next break. There are places in the school, but I've been busy these past few days."
Listening to Mingmei's words, Ms. Cheshire nodded and said, "Well, during your break, you can go to a more private hospital for an examination. Your potential is worth you entering the special recruitment class."
"Huh?"
Mingmei was stunned. Wasn't she told she wasn't good enough?
Seeing the puzzled look in Mingmei's eyes, Cheshire added, "I know you haven't been awake for long, but do you know what your physique and mental levels were when you first woke up?"
Mingmei honestly shook her head.
She only knew that her condition wasn't very good when she first woke up. For a long time, she was still in a daze, often lying in the medical bay.
"Double F. Your initial physique and mental strength were the worst." Cheshire said, her gaze filled with amazement as she looked at Mingmei. "However, you've grown into what you are now in just a year or two. Some people may not improve at all in their entire lives. So, given your speed of progress, I really can't imagine what you'll be like after graduation!"
Regarding this, Mingmei was really grateful to her parents for preparing her for transmigrating since she was a child, giving her so many natural treasures.
However, listening to Ms. Cheshire's praise and her description of a future as a female general, Mingmei really couldn't bear to shatter her fantasy.
Maybe she would still be a salted fish after graduation.
She was just here to get a diploma. Did they expect her to join the army and level up all the way?
Don't be ridiculous!
"How about I accompany you for the examination next vacation?"
"Ah, no, no need." Faced with Ms. Cheshire's sudden enthusiasm in the virtual space, Mingmei was a little dazed and couldn't handle it.
"It's okay, we're all family."
"But didn't my brother run away from his engagement?"
Carelessly, Mingmei said this.
"It's okay, he'll have to marry me sooner or later, as long as he shows up." Ms. Cheshire replied to Mingmei's words with a smile and gritted teeth. "So, sooner or later, we'll all be family."
Mingmei: "..."
...
In the dormitory at night.
"Uncles, does any of you know about my second brother and Cheshire?"
Mingmei looked at her two uncles in the video call. Their backgrounds seemed to be in their offices. Mingmei suddenly felt that it seemed a bit out of place that only she was on the bed in her bedroom.
"Huh? Why are you gossiping about this?"
Yan Hui asked in confusion, pulling himself out of a pile of planning documents, and looked up at Mingmei. "What, does Cheshire want to find out about Mei Qiu's whereabouts from you?"
"Um... not really. I think she should know more about my second brother's situation than I do. So, what is my second brother doing?"
"Fishing for law enforcement~" Ruan Xun said. He put down the documents in his hand, took off his glasses to rest, and asked with a smile, "You should also know about your second brother's glorious deeds over the years, right?"
"Uncle, are you referring to the good kind or the bad kind of glorious deeds?"
There was no way around it. When Mingmei searched online, her second brother's reputation was really hard to say.
In terms of fighting against the Zerg, her second brother's deeds had been proven by movies.
But in terms of his private life and scandalous affairs, he was also very much in the spotlight. The most criticized thing was still the incident of disappearing when he was engaged to Cheshire. People were still scolding him for it even after more than ten years.
"It's all the same, being blacklisted is still being on the list."
Mingmei: "..." She couldn't respond to that.
"Hey, why are you telling Meimei so much? Really, children shouldn't know so much."
At this time, Yan Hui interrupted Ruan Xun and said, "That's right, I heard that your class will have an exchange with students from other schools at the end of the term?"
"What do you want, Uncle?"
Hearing Yan Hui's question, Mingmei subconsciously felt that her Uncle Yan Hui might be up to something.
"Ahem~ Isn't it because I'm thinking that I should design a large game, the kind that many people can play? Small dungeon-like things for a few people are boring. When there are more of you, if you have nothing to say offline when you're exchanging ideas, wouldn't it be nice to meet in the game?"
Meet in the game, my ass.
Just from her uncle's tone, it was clear that he had bad intentions.
"That's right, after being an NPC for so long, how about you be a player at that time?"
"Then will I still be selling boxed lunches?"
"Keep selling them, no one said players can't sell them. Wait for me to think about it, design it carefully, and guarantee you a big surprise!"
Mingmei felt that the surprise her uncle was talking about wasn't the kind of surprise she liked.
"Hey, it's getting late, Meimei, you should rest too. Your Uncle Ruan and I still have things to talk about, so I won't talk anymore~"
After speaking, before Mingmei could say "Good night," she was kicked out of the three-person video room.
"What is it? So secretive, what are they hiding from me!"
Mingmei frowned, recalling their previous conversation. They were clearly talking about her second brother and Cheshire, but Uncle Yan Hui directly interrupted it halfway!
"Guigui!"
[I'm here, Host.]
"You... help me think of a way to investigate my second brother's situation, okay?"
[Host, I don't have that permission~] Although Guigui refused, it continued in the next sentence, [But you can have a good chat with Master Liuliu or the Main Brain~]
"You mean they know?"
[They can give me permission, and then I can hack the Imperial database.]
Mingmei: "..."
Your godfather gave you permission, and you're using it to hack?
"What kind of permission is that?" Mingmei almost laughed out of anger at Guigui's words.
[But I don't even have the ability to hack the database right now!]
Mingmei: "..."
