Character ListQiao Zhiya: Half-elf, half-dwarf MC.
During lunchtime, the classmates who had been arranged by the teacher to take him to tour the college’s facilities noticed the earrings on his ears one after another. Some had strange expressions, some were guiding more intimately, and some just ignored it. Qiao Zhiya pretended not to notice these reactions. He treated them all equally, thanked them one by one for their help, as if everything was business as usual.
After the class ended, Qiao Zhiya bid farewell to a couple classmates he knew, took the school vehicle to the gate, and got into the car prepared by Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu was as enthusiastic in spoiling him as usual. She cooed at him until both his face and ears turned scarlet. She also didn’t forget to stuff him full of food, as she complained that his teacher didn’t treat him well despite not knowing his teacher at all. She didn’t mention anything about magic power, magic circle, or spiritual power treatment.
Qiao Zhiya knew that Zhuang Yu knew he was hiding these things from her.
Seeing her treat him like this, Qiao Zhiya felt more and more guilty. He hurriedly took out several self-made gadgets from the storage box to cheer her up while apologizing sincerely. In response, Zhuang Yu squished his cheeks in a more excited manner.
The hover car drove for half an hour and stopped in front of a white building.
“Let’s do a small examination first, and then jiejie will take you to eat delicious food,” Zhuang Yu took him up to the eighteenth floor by a special elevator, led him into a room full of foreign instruments, and motioned him to enter into a strange-shaped yet familiar medical instrument. It should be the same instrument from the warship’s infirmary. She knew that Qiao Zhiya was a bit nervous, so she comforted the youth, “Just take a nap, and you can eat delicious food when you wake up.”
This was definitely arranged in advance. The two of them didn’t meet anyone else on the way here. There was no one in the examination room either. Qiao Zhiya glanced at Zhuang Yu, and obediently lay down inside the instrument.
After the instrument was turned on, a familiar white mist filled the instrument, and he slowly closed his eyes.
“The soothing agent has been absorbed,” Zhuang Yu sent the drug data to Chu Rong via the communicator as she continued to explain, “But there is still no fluctuation in spiritual power. Qiaoqiao’s spiritual power is really special.”
Chu Rong, who just finished attending a meeting, tugged on the collar of his military uniform. His face was still scrunched up in a frown as he inquired, “He said that his… magic power cannot be recovered by himself, and can only be replenished by absorbing the energy in the jade. Have you found the reason for his behavior?”
Zhuang Yu shook her head and replied, “Since his power cannot be detected by this testing chamber, I can’t do any test. Without any data from the test, I can’t make a good treatment plan for him.”
In other words, today’s examination was basically useless.
“Then check his physical condition first to make sure he has no other physical problems,” Chu Rong commanded. After thinking for a while, he looked at the youth sleeping inside the chamber with a softened gaze. “Prepare some spiritual potion for him as a backup. Although his spiritual power is special, the potion should still be able to help him heal.”
“I understand.” Zhuang Yu responded. With a hesitation in her eyes, she also asked, “Sir, since Qiaoqiao already has spiritual power, what about the direction of future studies?”
“It’s up to him to choose,” Chu Rong waved his hand, apparently having considered this issue, “His special power has a big flaw – we can’t directly equate it as a spiritual power. All arrangements will remain the same. Send him back immediately after the examination. Don’t take the results with you. Also, let him do whatever he wants after this.”
After speaking, the Marshal decisively hung up the communicator.
Zhuang Yu: “…” Bah! It took her so long to have a private time together with this little Cutie. Of course she’s going to spend it with him!
After the examination, Qiao Zhiya got his physical examination data. Zhuang Yu even explained to him the meaning of each data in detail, and helped him analyze the differences between him and ordinary people, and what should be paid attention to in his daily life.
Holding the result, Qiao Zhiya was a little dazed. And then, he felt touched — he could sense that everyone’s attitude towards him was slowly changing. They no longer treat him as a naive child, one-sidedly arranging everything in his life. But instead, they started trying to tell him the situation and asking for his opinion.
After the chat, Zhuang Yu took him to the mall and bought him a lot of things.
“This is a return gift~” Zhuang Yu escorted him to the door of the Marshal’s house. She suddenly leaned over and hugged him, patted his head, and said in a gentle tone, “Our little Cutie needs to grow up quickly. Believe in yourself, you are one of the greatest people I have ever had the pleasure to know.”
Qiao Zhiya was taken aback by her embrace. He wanted to say something in return, but the older woman quickly let go of her embrace. She turned around, walked away quickly to her hover car, and left.
He stood at the door and watched the hover car leave. Touching his head, he still felt the warm pat Zhuang Yu gave him. It easily made him smile.
After his confession, everything seemed going in a good direction.
The pair of housemates began to communicate properly with each other. Whether it was just a small thing, or asking to spend time together. When Chu Rong was not busy, he would personally send Qiao Zhiya to school. And if he was busy, Qiao Zhiya would take public transportation by himself.
Qiao Zhiya has adapted to the rhythm of the college, and he was lucky enough to meet a few friends with good personalities. On weekends, Tan Shengwei and Zhuang Yu would occasionally take him outside for a walk. He even followed Old Man Ren to his personal laboratory once, and saw a magnificent scene of a real-time mecha assembly.
Chu Yan also came to see him a few times. But, because the young man also had to go to college, they mostly talked to each other via their communicator.
This strange world slowly revealed its true appearance in front of him. He became used to his daily life – go to school, study hard, play with his friends, and such. He also stopped being reckless with his online identity. He only used that a couple times.
Despite his passion in building mechanical things, he actually wanted to make a magic potion for treating the White-Haired Monster’s illness as soon as possible.
After that physical examination, Chu Rong asked Zhuang Yu to prepare a lot of spiritual potions for him. He even gave him two bottles of special spiritual power purification liquids and a lot of high-quality jade. He knew those expensive medicines had little to no effect on him, but for Chu Rong’s peace of mind, he obediently used them up.
The possible negative impact of secretly selling that giant sword also completely disappeared after Old Man Ren (pretending to) make a fuss about his “audacious and stupid apprentice”. He scolded his apprentice for “being a idiotic kid and getting fooled to sell his work” and “selling his product without checking the identity of customers”.
The outside world knows that the bad-tempered Master Ren has taken in a secret little apprentice. The rumor was that the apprentice was so precious that the Master hid him well. No one could find out the identity of this little apprentice. In the end, the whole incident was forgotten.
As for Fan Qi – the owner of the auction house, who planned to make a big deal out of the product to fish out the true identity of the mysterious seller – tactfully stopped doing this after Master Ren came to his door. He felt a little regretful in his heart because his supposed Golden Goose was actually Master Ren’s apprentice.
However, this made sense to him. If this guy was Master Ren’s precious apprentice… well, it’s no wonder he was so simple. This type of people were obsessed with their own research, they basically lacked common sense. It’s just a pity, he originally wanted to get close to the seller by taking pictures of the giant sword, and then asked him to make mecha weapons for him.
That giant sword was really good. Of course, he also wanted to figure out the origin of the mutated red tin ore.
Fan Qi knew that Master Ren belonged to Chu Rong’s division. So the mutated red tin ore should be something that the Chu family secretly got, but it was accidentally revealed by this brat.
After living a stable life for two months, Qiao Zhiya returned home with a stamped student card and a letter of recommendation from the teacher.
“The teacher said that it was a waste of time for me to stay in the junior college, and suggested that I immediately attend intermediate college.” Qiao Zhiya handed over his report card. He also laid down a copy of the “Study Field Choosing Guide: Let’s Not Waste Your Potential” book that the teacher gave to him. Pointing out a page of his report card, he continued, “This is my result. Laoshi gave this to me last week. He asked me to read this book, and then arranged an aptitude test for me. He also asked me to draw a picture. Finally, he suggested that I choose either medicine or art. But I want to study how to make a mecha, so you will agree with my decision to pursue this field of study, right?”
After speaking, Qiao Zhiya looked at Chu Rong with an expectant look.
Chu Rong sat on the coffee table and looked at the youth’s report card. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, “Art? You can draw?”
“Yes, my father taught me.” Qiao Zhiya replied with some pride. He took out a painting from his storage ring and handed it to him, saying, “I painted a sea of stars. This was from what I saw on our return journey. The teacher praised my painting.”
The elf was a race that had pride over their artistic abilities. Their artistic skills could be said to be a heritage thing, taught by parents to their children. Although Qiao Zhiya was only a half-elf, he basically knows what the elves know. Although, he knew he wasn’t as good as his father.
On the canvas, the magnificent and beautiful sea of stars spreads far away. It was only paint, but Chu Rong swore he could see each star twinkle. Shimmering, brilliant, and yet, it was an overall gentle and quiet piece. It surprisingly could put you in a melancholic mood; it made you realize how small of an existence you are in this vast, vast universe. Then, he noticed something. In the corner of the canvas, a vague mecha-like shape was approaching the center of the sea of stars.
Full marks for painting skills, full marks for color matching, and full marks for atmosphere expression. No matter how you look at it, this piece was a brilliant work of art.
Chu Rong touched the shadow of the mecha in the corner of the canvas, tapped it lightly, and asked, “This is me?”
With one look, of course he could recognize his own mecha.
Qiao Zhiya blushed a little. His ears twitched and flapped. The youth glanced at Chu Rong, only dared to whisper out his response, “It’s us, and I’m also inside.”
He didn’t observe the appearance of the warship carefully, so he drew the mecha instead. Truthfully, he wanted to draw a scene where the two of them watched the magnificent galaxy together.
Chu Rong’s heartstrings seemed to be gently twitched by something. He looked at the blushing young man in front of him. He felt pleased when he noticed that Qiao Zhiyan was becoming more natural in front of him, and less concealing his emotions and thoughts. The youth also trusted him enough to be dependent on him.
Emerald-like green eyes, full of shyness, turned upwards to lock on Chu Rong’s. His heart did a funny little flip as he subconsciously smiled shallowly. He patted the fluffy blond hair, and said, “I see… I will let Xiangnan choose the best possible intermediate college for you. Study hard.”
“Yeah!” Qiao Zhiya nodded vigorously. Seeing that Chu Rong was in a good mood, he hurriedly said, “Actually, I have already chosen a college. You know, the one where Xiao Yan also goes. What do you think? I looked it up on Starnet1the Internet of this world., and the review was stellar!”
Chu Yan was the third young master of the Chu family. He might be ill-tempered and lazy with his studies, but the college he attended was the cream of the crop – the absolute standard for the upper class. It was the prestigious Federal Military Academy, a college directly affiliated with the Federation’s army.
But that’s not the main point, the point was–
“…that college is a boarding school.” The previous warmth in Ancestor Chu’s chest was gone within seconds.
Qiao Zhiya nodded, and said sweetly in a silly manner, “I know, don’t worry. I can take care of myself. And with Chu Yan there, he said he would take care of me! There will be no problem!”
Ancestor Chu’s face darkened. He couldn’t help but to reach out and grabbed Qiao Zhiya’s collar. He picked the youth up and looked at him with a scary gaze.
—Damn it. Of course Chu Rong knew that this Bald Chicken could take care of himself! But living in a school? This country bumpkin has only been in the Federation for a couple short months. He only weighed a few pounds. And he dared to harden his not-fully-grown wings2“hardened wings” is an idiom that mean “brave enough (or ready, depending on the context) to do things by themselves.” and live by himself? Does he not know how deep the waters are in that kind of place?
Is he looking for death?!

In the end, the whole incident was forgotten.As for Fan Qi the owner of the auction house, who planned to make a big deal out of the product to fish out the true identity of the mysterious seller tactfully stopped doing this after Master Ren came to his door. He felt a little regretful in his heart because his supposed Golden Goose was actually Master Ren's apprentice.However, this made sense to him. If this guy was Master Ren's precious apprentice well, it's no wonder he was so simple. This type of people were obsessed with their own research, they basically lacked common sense. It's just a pity, he originally wanted to get close to the seller by taking pictures of the giant sword, and then asked him to make mecha weapons for him.That giant sword was really good. Of course, he also wanted to figure out the origin of the mutated red tin ore.Fan Qi knew that Master Ren belonged to Chu Rong's division. So the mutated red tin ore should be something that the Chu family secretly got, but it was accidentally revealed by this brat.After living a stable life for two months, Qiao Zhiya returned home with a stamped student card and a letter of recommendation from the teacher.The teacher said that it was a waste of time for me to stay in the junior college, and suggested that I immediately attend intermediate college. Qiao Zhiya handed over his report card. He also laid down a copy of the Study Field Choosing Guide: Let's Not Waste Your Potential book that the teacher gave to him. Pointing out a page of his report card, he continued, This is my result. Laoshi gave this to me last week. He asked me to read this book, and then arranged an aptitude test for me. He also asked me to draw a picture. Finally, he suggested that I choose either medicine or art. But I want to study how to make a mecha, so you will agree with my decision to pursue this field of study, right?After speaking, Qiao Zhiya looked at Chu Rong with an expectant look.Chu Rong sat on the coffee table and looked at the youth's report card. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, Art? You can draw?Yes, my father taught me. Qiao Zhiya replied with some pride. He took out a painting from his storage ring and handed it to him, saying, I painted a sea of stars. This was from what I saw on our return journey. The teacher praised my painting.The elf was a race that had pride over their artistic abilities. Their artistic skills could be said to be a heritage thing, taught by parents to their children. Although Qiao Zhiya was only a half-elf, he basically knows what the elves know. Although, he knew he wasn't as good as his father.On the canvas, the magnificent and beautiful sea of stars spreads far away. It was only paint, but Chu Rong swore he could see each star twinkle. Shimmering, brilliant, and yet, it was an overall gentle and quiet piece. It surprisingly could put you in a melancholic mood; it made you realize how small of an existence you are in this vast, vast universe. Then, he noticed something. In the corner of the canvas, a vague mecha-like shape was approaching the center of the sea of stars.Full marks for painting skills, full marks for color matching, and full marks for atmosphere expression. No matter how you look at it, this piece was a brilliant work of art.Chu Rong touched the shadow of the mecha in the corner of the canvas, tapped it lightly, and asked, This is me?With one look, of course he could recognize his own mecha.Qiao Zhiya blushed a little. His ears twitched and flapped. The youth glanced at Chu Rong, only dared to whisper out his response, It's us, and I'm also inside.He didn't observe the appearance of the warship carefully, so he drew the mecha instead. Truthfully, he wanted to draw a scene where the two of them watched the magnificent galaxy together.Chu Rong's heartstrings seemed to be gently twitched by something. He looked at the blushing young man in front of him. He felt pleased when he noticed that Qiao Zhiyan was becoming more natural in front of him, and less concealing his emotions and thoughts. The youth also trusted him enough to be dependent on him.Emerald-like green eyes, full of shyness, turned upwards to lock on Chu Rong's. His heart did a funny little flip as he subconsciously smiled shallowly. He patted the fluffy blond hair, and said, I see I will let Xiangnan choose the best possible intermediate college for you. Study hard.Yeah! Qiao Zhiya nodded vigorously. Seeing that Chu Rong was in a good mood, he hurriedly said, Actually, I have already chosen a college. You know, the one where Xiao Yan also goes. What do you think? I looked it up on Starnet1the Internet of this world., and the review was stellar!Chu Yan was the third young master of the Chu family. He might be ill-tempered and lazy with his studies, but the college he attended was the cream of the crop the absolute standard for the upper class. It was the prestigious Federal Military Academy, a college directly affiliated with the Federation's army.But that's not the main point, the point wasthat college is a boarding school. The previous warmth in Ancestor Chu's chest was gone within seconds.Qiao Zhiya nodded, and said sweetly in a silly manner, I know, don't worry. I can take care of myself. And with Chu Yan there, he said he would take care of me! There will be no problem!Ancestor Chu's face darkened. He couldn't help but to reach out and grabbed Qiao Zhiya's collar. He picked the youth up and looked at him with a scary gaze.Damn it. Of course Chu Rong knew that this Bald Chicken could take care of himself! But living in a school? This country bumpkin has only been in the Federation for a couple short months. He only weighed a few pounds. And he dared to harden his not-fully-grown wings2hardened wings is an idiom that mean brave enough or ready, depending on the context to do things by themselves. and live by himself? Does he not know how deep the waters are in that kind of place?Is he looking for death?!If you can, please support me by donating on my ko-fi~ For every 2 ko-fis, I'll release an additional chapter ^^
