Career Choice

His Star Weave level was low, but his Star Power increased rapidly. There were only two possibilities: one was that he was also a Star Weaver.

A Star Weaver's Star Weave could grow, with infinite potential.

But that shouldn't be the case. He had graduated so many years ago and held a certain position in the army. If he were a Star Weaver, everyone would know.

At his position, there was no need to hide his identity anymore. Moreover, he often went to the battlefield, and the mechs he used were highly scrutinized. Whether he made the mech's Star Weave himself or hired a Star Weaver Master, it was impossible to keep secret.

In that case, only one possibility remained.

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed.

An Yixing had found the secret to super strong energy perception in Huadun.

Super strong energy perception allowed one to cultivate twice as fast with half the effort, leading to rapid Star Power increases.

If he could only sense it, the person in such a huge energy pod wouldn't be willing to leave so quickly.

It must be that he found the secret to super strong energy perception that made him leave Huadun.

A strange feeling arose in Zhou Yi's heart, as if she was now walking a path no one had walked before.

After reading all the books in the library, finding the secret to energy perception, and making herself stronger.

She vaguely felt a surge of passion for this senior she had never met, as if she saw him as her rival, and also someone she greatly admired.

They entered Huadun at different times, but they were walking the same path, as if a competition had begun in parallel universes.

Except in this competition, Zhou Yi was the only one.

"I won't lose to you."

Zhou Yi touched the Star Weave on the back of her neck, the light in her eyes growing brighter.

An Yixing's matter was put aside for now. Zhou Yi sat in her chair, not rushing to cultivate.

At this moment, her brain was running at full speed, like a processor, filtering the knowledge she had absorbed today.

Useful information was kept and integrated, while redundant and repetitive information was directly deleted, not taking up any of her brain's memory.

She had read too many books today. If she didn't absorb and think them through properly, they wouldn't become her own knowledge.

As for cultivation, there was no rush. At this moment, Zhou Yi was clearly more curious about the unknown aspects she had never encountered before.

In fact, most of the books on the second floor were reference books, divided into three types.

One was an introduction to the current state of the Alliance's mechs, another was about learning to be a Mech Infantry, and the third was naturally about Mech Masters.

The learning materials were comprehensive, ranging from shallow to deep, from introductory to advanced.

Before seeing the line of text behind the bookshelf, Zhou Yi had already made her decision.

She would dual-specialize in Mech Master and Mech Infantry.

She knew this would not be easy and would require immense effort.

But she had to do it.

Star Weaver Masters were those who awakened Star Weaves for mechs. Many Mech Masters would also modify their mechs when awakening their mech's Star Weave, making appropriate upgrades and adjustments to match their own Star Weave, thus unleashing greater power.

It could be said that one hundred percent of Star Weaver Masters were Mech Masters.

But the examples of Zhou Yi's ancestors were vivid. Without family protection and revealing their talent too early, they had almost no ability to protect themselves. In this cosmic galaxy, they became a fragrant prey, pursued by countless forces, and eventually perished.

Zhou Yi knew clearly what being a Star Weaver Master meant. Without matching strength, it was like possessing a treasure that would bring disaster, leading to a quicker death.

She wanted to live a few more days.

Relying on others was not as good as relying on herself. Being powerful herself was stronger than anything.

The knowledge that had been filtered and deemed useful by Zhou Yi was firmly imprinted in her mind, like a saved document that could be accessed at any time.

Zhou Yi reread the content about Mech Infantry and Mech Master separately.

Mech Infantry had strong combat power and required a large amount of Star Power to support. The stronger the Star Power, the greater the combat effectiveness.

Mech Masters, due to special professional restrictions, did not have high requirements for Star Power, but had extremely high requirements for intelligence and comprehension.

In other words, being a Mech Master required talent. Ordinary people couldn't learn it, and learning only the superficial aspects was useless.

Looking at the content, Zhou Yi found that Mech Masters were more focused on theoretical knowledge and personal understanding.

But Mech Infantry was different. The knowledge in books was difficult to satisfy; it required a lot of practice, constant combat using mechs to improve one's level.

"So that's how it is."

Zhou Yi finally opened her eyes.

"Then I'll study Mech Infantry."

With little hesitation, Zhou Yi decided on the subjects she would study after school started.

As for Mech Master, she would self-study, which would conveniently tie in with the "Star Weaver Manual Vol. 1" left by her ancestor, allowing for better integration.

Zhou Yi slept very early that night and woke up early the next morning to go to the library again.

Since she had decided on her future learning direction, her subsequent reading became more targeted.

Since Mech Infantry focused more on practice and was what she would be studying after school started, she wouldn't rush to read it. She would finish the Mech Master content first.

For greater efficiency, Zhou Yi first gathered all the books on Mech Masters together.

Fortunately, there were very few books about Mech Masters on the entire second floor, only making up a fifth of the total.

Even so, Zhou Yi still managed to fill four large bookshelves with this fifth.

They were arranged in order from easiest to most difficult.

Honestly, organizing the bookshelves was a bit unnecessary given Zhou Yi's reading speed, but she had her own reasons.

She felt she would be frequently referring to these books later, and since no one else would touch them, she might as well arrange them according to her own preferences for easier access.

Although knowledge was stored in her mind, physical books always evoked a special feeling, and the act of flipping through pages could spark unique inspiration.

To be a good Mech Master, inspiration and creativity were extremely important.

Although there were four bookshelves, there was a lot of repetitive content. After all, the core knowledge was limited; what mattered was an individual's understanding of it.

But Zhou Yi wasn't picky right now. She sat down on the floor and began reading, book by book.

Repetition wasn't necessarily a bad thing sometimes.

The auntie at the entrance was indeed reliable. She said she'd fix the light, and they came the very next day.

Replacing the energy battery wasn't a difficult task; Qi Lan could handle it alone.

The battery could be replaced on the first floor. After entering, Qi Lan didn't see the young girl who had come in that morning and couldn't help but feel curious.

After replacing the battery and searching around, he found the figure on the second floor, sitting on the ground with a stack of books beside her.

Zhou Yi was so engrossed in her reading that she didn't notice anyone had arrived.

Qi Lan looked at the child before him, her thirst for knowledge evident. His calm eyes held a new depth, and in that moment, his entire demeanor shifted.

"Huadun is due for another miracle."
