Lu Wanqing’s many questions went unanswered by Mu Sijie, and the matter was eventually dropped. However, Lu Wanqing felt as though a string was taut in her heart, neither rising nor falling, filled with an inexplicable unease.
She always felt there was something more going on between the children, otherwise, why would these great families be so averse to letting them grow up together.
“I’ll have the new appliances ready in a few days. Once they’re done, I’ll have someone send them over to you,” Mu Sijie said.
Lu Wanqing snapped back to attention and quickly replied, “Mhm, thank you!”
After ending her communication with Mu Sijie, Lu Wanqing felt a complex mix of emotions, but ultimately decided to set these matters aside for the time being.
There was no point in dwelling on things she couldn't resolve; it would only affect her mood.
The renovation workers that Steward Xiao had hired had arrived and were working in the room next to the kitchen, presumably converting it into a new one. She curiously went over to watch.
“Miss Lu, the renovation will be done soon. Please don't worry,” Steward Xiao said to her.
Lu Wanqing nodded, “Okay.”
As she said this, her gaze drifted towards the interior of the kitchen…
The renovation "workers" and methods of the interstellar era were completely different from what she had imagined. The renovation "workers" here weren’t real people, but rather robots. 138 Reading Network.
The robots held their tools, worked efficiently, and were tireless, performing the job quickly and well.
Lu Wanqing suddenly understood why Steward Mu at the Mu family’s residence had been able to renovate a new kitchen in just one day. With fully mechanized renovation, the space of just one kitchen was probably a small matter.
In fact, it was indeed a small matter. In just an hour and a half, the sounds from the kitchen ceased. The robots collected their tools and emerged.
Steward Xiao walked in to inspect, then turned back to Lu Wanqing and asked, “Miss Lu, are there any non-standard aspects you’d like to point out?”
Lu Wanqing went inside to look. She could only say, perfect!
“Excellent!”
“It looks beautiful!”
“Exactly as per my drawings.”
She spoke three sentences in quick succession, her amazement evident.
Steward Xiao nodded, then opened his comm, confirmed the order, and the robots performed a unified salute before departing.
“Are these robots from the military?” Lu Wanqing asked, somewhat shocked by the robots’ salute.
Steward Xiao smiled and said, “No, they are from the Property Management Bureau of the Military Dependents' Area. I submitted the drawings to them, and they were able to dispatch robots to handle it quickly.”
Lu Wanqing: “……”
Property Management!
So this was property management in the interstellar era?!
Property management was this advanced!
Lu Wanqing felt a great deal of admiration for interstellar property management. However, after that admiration, she found herself with nothing else to do.
The matter of the appliances had been settled with Mu Sijie, and the kitchen was renovated. As for the remaining time…
“Steward Xiao, thank you so much for your trouble!” Lu Wanqing said gratefully to Steward Xiao.
Steward Xiao quickly shook his head, his smile kind, “Miss Lu, you are too kind. This is my responsibility.”
After a brief chat with Steward Xiao, Lu Wanqing left the Zhongli residence and, after a moment’s thought, headed directly towards the training rooms.
When Zhongli Feiyu went to work at the military headquarters this morning, he had mentioned that the training rooms in the military dependents’ area were open to all residents, and anything inside could be used freely!
Lu Wanqing’s mood brightened as she thought of the "game," and her steps became lighter.
Upon arriving at the training room, she didn't hesitate and immediately found an empty one. However, when she went to set up the control panel, she was taken aback, as it required her to enter her Citizen ID.
She hadn't set this up yesterday when she played. Had Zhongli Feiyu set it up for her?
Lu Wanqing thought about it and felt it was possible, as Zhongli Feiyu had indeed helped her set up the control panel initially.
Since these were facilities in the military dependents' area, she didn't have to worry about any safety issues with the equipment. So, after only a second's hesitation, she quickly opened her comm, found her personal Citizen ID, and entered it.
The information setup was very simple. After Lu Wanqing entered her ID, the control interface quickly advanced. She opened her history records and saw her record of clearing ten levels yesterday, with a "Continue" button at the bottom.
Lu Wanqing thought about it and clicked "Continue."
As soon as she pressed this button, the training room door closed instantly, and the room entered training mode. Many zerg flew out from the front.
Lu Wanqing raised her weapon and killed one directly. She noticed that the zerg in this level were faster than in the previous ten levels, so she had to be careful.
While Lu Wanqing was playing the "game" inside, someone in the training hall also noticed the screen.
In the military dependents' area, many people, with nothing else to do, enjoyed practicing in the training rooms. This was especially true for retired veterans, whose bodies could no longer support them in fighting on the actual battlefield.
However, having served in the military their entire lives, their innate desire to go to the battlefield and defeat the zerg remained very strong after retirement. Thus, the simulated battlefield training rooms in the military dependents' area became their favorite place. Every day, people came here to practice, recalling the feeling of being on the battlefield and fighting zerg.
But no matter how good the training rooms were, the familiar faces were the ones who usually came and went. This time, they suddenly saw an unfamiliar face, and a female one at that, which surprised them.
“Old Zhang, Old Zhang, come quickly, isn’t that Miss Lu?” a veteran immediately called out to a companion nearby.
“Miss Lu?” The old man called Old Zhang, who was not far away, heard his companion’s words and was puzzled. However, he walked over.
“Look, Miss Lu is in the training room!” said Old Li Mu, the veteran who had called out first, happily.
The old man called Old Zhang’s full name was Zhang Zhigang, and he was sixty-six years old this year. Upon hearing Li Mu’s words, he immediately turned to look at the screen. To his surprise, it was Lu Wanqing!
This young woman was actually fighting zerg in the training room!
In the interstellar era, a young woman who dared to fight zerg was remarkable. Many young women were afraid of the zerg!
However, these old men, who had retired from the army, liked it very much. Watching Lu Wanqing fight zerg in the training room, they felt that this young woman was excellent, much better than those girls outside who would scream in terror at the sight of zerg!
It wasn’t just these two old men. Many passing old men gradually noticed the situation here. They all came to take a look, and when they saw Lu Wanqing fighting zerg on the screen, they couldn’t bring themselves to leave.
This was because the way Lu Wanqing fought zerg was simply decisive. No matter what kind of zerg appeared, there wasn’t a hint of fear on her face. She swung her weapon without hesitation, killing them with a single blow.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
One zerg after another turned to dust under her blows. Those watching from outside felt a sense of exhilaration!
Inside the training room, Lu Wanqing was completely unaware of the situation outside. She thought she was alone and was still focusing on playing the game.
