Seeing Through But Not Exposing (First Update)
Xia Chujian then realized that every groove, protrusion, and connection on the mecha's arm had a purpose; they weren't just for looks or aesthetics.
She took out her sniper rifle and submachine gun from her gun case, and after watching Su Buyan install them once, she knew how to do it herself.
She even figured it out on her own, saying, "This spot can be fitted with a smart machine gun. As long as I'm near an ammunition box, I can fire thousands of rounds without a problem."
Su Buyan rolled his eyes and said, "The rotation speed of a smart machine gun will ruin your arm and blind your eyes. Are you sure you want to mount a smart machine gun on your arm?"
Xia Chujian said seriously, "If necessary, I can even mount missiles on my mecha."
Su Buyan said with a half-smile, "The missile launcher interface is on the back of the mecha. If you want to mount it, it's not impossible."
Xia Chujian was shocked by this: "Really?! This mecha is so powerful?!"
"Conventional advanced mechanical mechas have built-in missile launchers, and intermediate mechanical mechas have built-in micro missile launchers. Ordinary mechanical mechas don't have this function. The appearance of my Shao Siming Mecha can be modified, so I modified a missile launcher on the back, but this way..."
Su Buyan smiled very happily: "After this modification, the solar panels won't be enough, and you can only use Shao Siming Mecha Dedicated High-Efficiency Energy Bars, which cost 100,000 Beichen Coins apiece."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She understood and struggled for a long time before saying, "I'll buy a high-efficiency energy bar..."
Su Buyan was amused by her conflicted expression and laughed, saying, "You've helped me a lot this time. As your Master, I'll reward you with a Shao Siming Mecha Dedicated High-Efficiency Energy Crystal! But if you keep using the modified form, this energy crystal will only last for a year."
"That's a year of use, right?" Xia Chujian asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Yes, a year of use."
That meant that when she wasn't using the mecha, the energy crystal wouldn't be consumed.
Xia Chujian was overjoyed and didn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you, Master!"
Su Buyan took out a new Other Shore Flower pendant from his toolbox and replaced Xia Chujian's old one, saying, "The new energy crystal is inside this pendant's shell, and the chip is inside the Black Silver metal within the pendant."
Xia Chujian caressed her new pendant with delight, smiling, "Master, you prepared this a long time ago, didn't you?"
Even if she hadn't made this contribution, Su Buyan would probably have found an excuse to give her a new energy bar.
Su Buyan glared at her: "Don't expose what you see through! Do you understand the art of conversation?!"
Xia Chujian giggled and said, "I'll make more delicious food for Master to show my respect."
Su Buyan laughed heartily: "That's more like it! By the way, I also prepared a tactical backpack for you. When I was making a head for your Liu Shun, I had some Composite Titanium Metal left over, so I made a Tactical Dagger for you as well. They're all in the backpack."
Su Buyan took out a dark gray tactical backpack from his toolbox and handed it to her.
The tactical backpack was forty centimeters long at the bottom, thirty centimeters wide, and sixty centimeters high. The material looked very durable.
Its appearance wasn't like a common tactical backpack, but more like a larger schoolbag.
Xia Chujian curiously opened it and saw that there were many compartments inside, which could be used to store various firearms, ammunition, and supplies in an organized manner. There was also a place to put tactical daggers and other controlled knives.
Su Buyan said proudly, "You can disassemble the sniper rifle and submachine gun from your gun case and put them in there. Moreover, the material of this tactical backpack has special shielding functions, and the style is that of a schoolbag."
"I know that schools in the Beichen Empire don't allow guns on campus, but your school is too strange. I think it's necessary for you to carry a gun for self-defense. If you use this tactical backpack, you don't need special materials for the gun parts, and the security inspection devices won't be able to detect them."
"So amazing?" Xia Chujian was skeptical.
This kind of thing couldn't be tested, or she would be expelled if it didn't work.
Su Buyan said, "You don't believe me? Which security inspection device on the market haven't I taken apart?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
"Master, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that our school has zero tolerance for this."
"Then how did a psychopathic gunman with a gun run into your school?"
Xia Chujian said quietly, "That's why the school police officer in charge of security that day is dead."
Su Buyan had no choice and said, "I heard that you are already an employee of the Special Security Bureau. Let your Special Security Bureau come forward and say hello to your school, and give you an exception for a gun license."
Xia Chujian shook her head: "No need for so much trouble. I have two months left in this school. I've decided to wear the Shao Siming Mecha inside every day when I go to school."
Su Buyan nodded: "That's the best. Use it more, and tell me quickly if you have any new needs!"
...
The two drove the flying vehicle back to the manor. Su Buyan packed his things and was about to return to the Special Security Bureau Branch Station.
Xia Chujian asked him, "How much does that Air Defense Identification System cost?"
Su Buyan looked strange, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...If new materials are used, it would be about 100,000 Beichen Coins. But I modified it for you with eliminated equipment, so it doesn't cost anything."
Xia Chujian said, "Eliminated equipment is still money, and your time is precious. Don't be so polite with me."
Su Buyan coughed and straightened his chest, saying, "Then I won't be polite with you. Do you still have those little baked wheaten cakes? If you do, I want to take them to offset the labor costs."
Xia Chujian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "There are still twenty. I'll pack them all for you."
She put the twenty little baked wheaten cakes in an electronic lunch box and gave them to Su Buyan.
She drove her Flying Vehicle to send Su Buyan back to the Mulan City Special Security Bureau Branch Station.
From there, Su Buyan boarded Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet and used space warp to return to Beichen Star.
However, when he returned to Beichen Star, he found 100,000 more Beichen Coins in his digital currency account.
Xia Chujian left a message saying: Master has already helped me a lot. I can afford this money.
Since Xia Chujian said so, Su Buyan let it go.
He wasn't a very meticulous person. Anyway, he had transferred 100,000 Beichen Coins to Xia Chujian before, and he really believed that Xia Chujian wasn't short of money, so he didn't return it.
He just sent Xia Chujian a message.
[Su Buyan]: The little baked wheaten cakes are delicious. I'm going to eat them slowly!
...
Time passed quickly, and the week's vacation flew by.
Soon a new week arrived, and Xia Chujian had to go to school again.
To be honest, she now had an unspeakable resistance and aversion to that school.
But Xia Yuanfang insisted that she finish the last two months, and she couldn't resist, so she came.
The school didn't have a parking apron for students' Flying Vehicles, so Xia Chujian went out with Xia Yuanfang.
She parked the Flying Vehicle on the terrace of Xia Yuanfang's studio, and she took the Inner City Maglev Train from the Plaza Garden to Mulan City No. 1 High School.
When she arrived at the school, she found that the security check at the school gate was stricter, there were many parents in the school, and there were also some people wearing long white robes.
The bottom of the robes was embroidered with a four-leaf clover under the starry sky, which was the Su Clan's family crest.
These were people from the Holy Church.
Xia Chujian carried her Tactical Backpack and an electronic lunch box in her hand, and passed through the Security Inspection Device as if nothing had happened.
Her Large Sniper Rifle and Submachine Gun parts were in the Tactical Backpack, and the Security Inspection Device at the school really didn't detect them.
Arriving on the third floor of the senior year, Xia Chujian saw everyone crowded in the corridor, looking into the ordinary class.
The classroom of the ordinary class was filled with various flowers, and there were several long tables covered with white cloth.
People from the Holy Church were holding a ceremony there.
They looked serious and respectful, chanting songs that Xia Chujian couldn't understand.
The candles in the classroom flickered, and music with a sacred meaning came from the classroom. The scent of sandalwood seemed to dilute the blood that could never be washed away.
Class beauty Xi Danyu took Xia Chujian's hand and said, "I heard that those people are Deacons from the Holy Church, here to pray for the students in the ordinary class and help them pass on."
Xia Chujian frowned: "Does this work?"
"Of course it works! Look at those parents, aren't they all in a better mood..."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She looked at the parents who were still crying, but whose expressions were obviously no longer depressed, and thought that if all this could alleviate the pain in their hearts, it would be worth it.
But she didn't believe in this.
How did the people of the Holy Church know about helping people pass on after death? If they were really powerful, shouldn't they have foreseen the danger in advance and then notified them to kill that Psychopathic Gunman?
The senior year floor didn't have much class all morning, and all they heard were the Holy Church Deacons' requiem chants from the ordinary class at the entrance of the corridor.
It wasn't until noon that the whole ritual was over.
The Holy Church deacon and the parents of the ordinary class students left the campus one after another.
The students in the two remaining classes on the third floor breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they still didn't dare to look at the classroom of the ordinary class, they weren't as terrified as before.
Everyone started eating lunch in the classroom.
No one was in the seat next to Xia Chujian, and the students weren't in the mood to mingle.
Everyone ate at their seats, talking quietly with their deskmates.
Xia Chujian finished her lunch quietly by herself, and took her electronic lunch box to the tea room to get hot water.
She walked into the tea room, and there were already several students eating and chatting inside.
They were all students from the advanced class next door.
A girl wearing thick, bottle-bottom glasses said, "Ji Jiayi is so lucky. Her family has already arranged a recommendation for her to go to university."
"After ten years, our Guiyuan Star finally has a student who can go to Beichen Star to attend Beichen University! And it's from our Mulan City No. 1 High School!" another girl with a long ponytail said enviously.
"It's a university through recommendation, so it doesn't count towards the school's admission rate," the girl with the thick bottle-bottom glasses curled her lips dismissively.
Her grades were very good, otherwise she wouldn't have been assigned to the advanced class, but she didn't expect that first, that academic scum from the intermediate class next door got second place in the entire Guiyuan Star!
Then a transfer student came and got first place in the entire Guiyuan Star!
She only ranked in the top 100 in the Guiyuan Star graduation exam...
Now that transfer student Yu Wangyou, who got first place, is dead, and that academic scum's grades have returned to normal.
Therefore, she was holding her breath, determined to make a splash in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination! But this transfer student Ji Jiayi in her class had already found a way to get a recommendation and secured a spot to go to Beichen Star to attend Beichen University.
She was really unconvinced...
The second update will be at 1 p.m.
