Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Stroll (Extra for Alliance Leader PureRedApple) (Third Update)

"How can we let you treat us? If we’re going to eat together, I should be the one treating."

Although he minded spending money, it didn’t mean he couldn’t afford a meal.

Beikaen and Ajika looked at Su Ming with slight surprise; they thought the man in front of them carried himself unlike an ordinary person.

Just as they were about to accept his offer, Lin Chuyu spoke up.

"No, Su Ming and I have other matters, so we won’t join you for the meal. Please enjoy your meal, and let’s go, Su Ming."

"Alright."

Seeing that Lin Chuyu was reluctant, Su Ming didn’t say much more.

As for Beikaen and Ajika, they didn’t try to stop them and just expressed their regret.

"Since today isn’t a good day, let’s do it another time. Be careful on your way."

"Yes, you too. We’re heading off now."

After politely saying goodbye, Lin Chuyu left the restaurant with Su Ming.

...

On the streets, Su Ming and Lin Chuyu walked side by side. Lin Chuyu slightly bowed her head, looking somewhat awkward.

She felt quite embarrassed; she had wanted to treat Su Ming to a meal, but they ended up leaving flatly, and she almost made Su Ming pay again.

"I’m sorry, Su Ming."

"There’s nothing to be sorry about. We had originally planned to go back to the school cafeteria anyway, not eat there."

Su Ming replied in a casual tone.

"Yeah, let’s head back."

Lin Chuyu responded a bit more quietly.

"Okay!"

The two then headed towards the station.

...

Two hours later.

Imperial Court Academy·Cafeteria Hall No. 1.

Su Ming and his companion sat in the corner with their meal trays; Lin Chuyu ordered two of the most luxurious combos. Even then, it only cost less than 500 Federation dollars. Compared to the meal expenses outside that could go up to hundreds of thousands, this was incredibly cheap.

"Sorry, you did such a big favor for me, and yet I couldn’t treat you well."

Lin Chuyu still felt a bit remorseful.

"Don’t talk like that. I think the food in the cafeteria is quite good. Eating out is just spending money recklessly; no matter how rich one is, they shouldn’t waste like that."

Su Ming casually responded while eating his meal.

"Just consider that I owe you a meal. Someday I’ll definitely treat you."

Lin Chuyu looked at Su Ming seriously.

"Okay, I’ll look forward to it. By the way, you don’t seem to want to get too involved with those two classmates?"

Su Ming naturally shifted the topic, knowing Lin Chuyu’s financial situation wasn’t great, which was apparent from the club incident.

When Lin Chuyu heard Su Ming’s question, she explained,

"That’s because Beikaen and Ajika are really rich, and their backgrounds are extraordinary. They belong to the top tycoons and families. Not just them, when I entered the inner school, I realized most of my classmates have high status! Getting involved with them isn’t a good thing, I feel."

"So that’s how it is. Are the courses in the inner school heavy, and how do you usually attend classes?"

Su Ming curiously asked.

"The teaching in the inner school might not be what you’d expect. I can’t tell you specific details because there is a confidentiality agreement. But I want to tell you, not entering the inner school as a commoner is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for those in the Mecha Department."

"Okay."

After hearing Lin Chuyu’s words, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Ming’s eyes, and he didn’t ask further.

...

Soon after, Su Ming and Lin Chuyu finished their meal and walked out of the cafeteria, strolling on the campus roads.

Several passing students sneakily glanced at them and whispered,

"That girl is so pretty."

"Come on, didn’t you see she has a boyfriend, and he’s quite handsome too."

"Pfft, I’m handsomer than him."

"You’re just narcissistic, ew~"

...

Su Ming and Lin Chuyu naturally heard the students’ comments, and both felt a bit uneasy, making the atmosphere a little awkward.

"Su Ming, I have to go back to the inner school now."

Lin Chuyu let out a slight breath and said softly.

"Okay, see you next time."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

Lin Chuyu gave a gentle smile, nodded, then turned and left.

Su Ming stood still, watching Lin Chuyu walk away, then headed towards his dormitory.

The next day at noon, Su Ming arrived at the Mecha training field’s waiting area, which was still crowded with a large number of students.

Students from various classes were queued up in an organized manner.

Su Ming looked at the crowd and felt a headache coming on.

"Class leader, over here!"

Suddenly, Su Ming heard someone calling out.

Su Ming looked in the direction of the voice and soon saw Rhein and a few dozen others, holding books and squatting in line.

So, he walked over to where Rhein and the others were.

As he approached, Rhein quickly waved to Su Ming and said,

"Quick, join us in the middle, don’t let anyone notice, or you’ll have to start queuing again for a long time."

Su Ming wryly squeezed in between them and squatted down, then started chatting with Rhein and the others.

"How long have you been waiting?"

"All morning."

"I see there are still many people ahead, I guess it won’t be our turn until tonight?"

"Yeah, it won’t be our turn until tonight, and the most annoying thing is, after waiting so long, you only get to operate for an hour, then you’re rushed off."

Rhein complained painfully.

"Actually, that’s still bearable, the worst thing is the smell. Those Mecha cockpits, because of the constant change of operators, have such a strong odor, and some even used it for a small number."

Angel said dejectedly.

Su Ming was at a loss for words after hearing their complaints, not knowing how to comfort them.

"Class leader, what should we do? I really miss the training in the arena where we could use any Mecha."

Allu and the others asked Su Ming, feeling downhearted.

"I don’t have a solution either."

Su Ming was also helpless listening to their questions. If he had a good solution, he wouldn’t be squatting here.

...

Three days later, Su Ming, holding the books he borrowed from the library, was squatting in line with Rhein and the others, just as before.

Although the waiting process was slow, there was no other choice, as they couldn’t even train otherwise.

Just then, Mia, wearing a breezy summer outfit and showing her long, fair legs, wearing sunglasses, walked over. Seeing Su Ming and the others working so hard, she was in a great mood and called out,

"Hi, classmates, I’m back."

"Mia teacher! You’re finally back."

"Teacher, dressed like that, you didn’t just come back from a vacation, did you?"

...

Upon hearing her, Rhein and the others turned their heads to look at Mia, each with a look of utter joy on their faces, as if they had seen a savior.

"I went out for a few days, but it’s only been a few days, you all don’t need to be this excited."

Mia said cheerfully.

"Teacher, we’ve almost turned into dogs waiting here."

Rhein and the others complained to her.

Su Ming also looked at Mia with great anticipation, finally deeply understanding the value of what Mia had previously told him, "What good does the First Generation do for you to practice?"

The First Generation Mecha at the training ground, he really didn’t want to operate them anymore, as they were terribly unresponsive.

"Now you know how good I am, follow me!"

Mia waved her hand cheerfully.

"Oh yeah!"

"Teacher is amazing."

...

Rhein and the others immediately became ecstatic, joyfully following Mia.

The surrounding students from other classes, seeing this, also cast puzzled glances their way.
