Entering Walton

"Educator? Zhou Yi's heart stirred.

She already had too many questions about the outside world, and now a ready-made teacher had appeared. There was no reason not to use this opportunity.

Since sitting around for three hours would be a waste anyway, she might as well gather more useful information.

"Grandpa Zhuang, do you know about Huadun? What's it like there?"

Zhou Yi immediately put on a humble and polite demeanor, as if seeking advice.

Even though her core wasn't that of a teenage girl, it didn't stop her from being sweet-mouthed.

Perhaps it was because life had been difficult since childhood, but Zhou Yi had a thick skin.

"Hmm... how should I put it..."

Seeing the young girl humbly seeking his advice, Zhuang Mu felt a desire to help the younger generation.

However, as a professor at an S-Class Mech School, he naturally looked down upon schools like Huadun, which were not even considered top-tier and might struggle to even fill their enrollment quotas.

Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Zhuang Mu still forced himself to say, "It's passable among the D-Class Mech Schools in the vicinity."

D-Class Mech Schools in the vicinity...

Zhou Yi almost burst out laughing. The D-Class Star Blocks in this area were all extremely resource-poor, and there was only one school.

Within the D-Class Star Blocks, the residents of Star Blocks D38 to D88 were basically descendants of Huaxia people. Huadun had been founded by Huaxia people, and its enrollment primarily consisted of descendants from these fifty Star Blocks.

Generally speaking, lower-level mech schools provided education for the nearby Star Blocks. Only in high-level mech schools would one find students from various Star Blocks across the interstellar space.

"I heard that mech schools give students mechs upon enrollment, is that true!"

This was what Zhou Yi cared about the most.

"Yes," Zhuang Mu nodded.

Even the worst mech schools would issue mechs to newly enrolled students for class and practice.

"A D-Class Mech School like Huadun issues D-Class Mechs. Students have to return the mechs to the school when they leave."

"I see, thank you, Grandpa Zhuang."

Zhou Yi nodded, relieved.

Having a mech was enough. Its class didn't matter much to her right now.

After all, it was simpler to awaken Star Weaves on lower-class mechs. She really couldn't handle higher-class mechs at the moment.

Zhou Yi shifted her gaze back to the darkness outside the spaceship. She had a feeling that countless points of light were hidden within that darkness. She couldn't see them clearly, but she could sense them.

The energy in her Chakras suddenly began to circulate faster. Zhou Yi quickly closed her eyes and silently recited the Star Gathering Technique in her mind.

When one is in a state of enlightenment or receives spiritual awakening, they are more receptive to external energy.

Such moments were extremely rare, and Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't miss them.

Zhuang Mu looked at the young girl beside him who had suddenly closed her eyes to cultivate, his gaze filled with a hint of inquiry.

Just now, he thought he had sensed a surge of energy.

It was impossible for a young girl who had just awakened and hadn't even enrolled yet to possess such Star Power.

Although Zhou Yi had her eyes closed, she could sense the scrutiny from the person beside her.

It didn't matter. If the Star Weaves weren't revealed by herself or detected by machines, no one could see them with the naked eye.

Thus, Zhou Yi spent the entire three-hour journey cultivating.

Only when the journey neared its end did she slowly open her eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was her first time leaving a Star Block and seeing the other side of the universe. These masses of energy had given her too many surprises.

Satisfied, she took out a Nutrient Solution from her bag and drank it. Zhou Yi glanced at the time on her Star Watch, packed her bag, and prepared to disembark.

"Little girl, let's exchange contact information. Our meeting is fate. If you encounter any problems you don't understand at school in the future, you can ask me."

Zhuang Mu saw Zhou Yi open her eyes and said with a smile.

"Okay."

Zhou Yi wasn't coy. She raised her wrist and tapped it against Zhuang Mu's Star Brain.

The two Star Brains touched, emitting a beeping sound, and their contact information was exchanged.

Just then, the Star Ship's broadcast finally sounded: D72 Star Block had arrived.

"I'm leaving now, Grandpa Zhuang, goodbye."

Zhou Yi stood up and said her farewells.

"See you next time."

Zhuang Mu waved goodbye.

D72 Star Block didn't cover a large area, and Huadun Mech School, as the most famous landmark on D72 Star Block, was not difficult to find.

Zhou Yi quickly followed the address given on her Star Brain and arrived in front of Huadun.

Looking at the buildings in front of him, which were completely different from the pictures in the admissions brochure, Zhou Yi regretted for the first time that he might have chosen his school too hastily.

Looking at the endless playground and row upon row of buildings, Zhou Yi suspected that D72 was small, but Walton had used all the land.

Big is good, but big and dilapidated is not so good.

The main gate and fence looked dilapidated and full of age. The ground inside was no different from the outside of the school gate, with no signs of processing. There was no playground.

The stones used to build the houses were crumbling. If they weren't not too tall, they would be pure death traps.

Zhou Yi had seen photos of Walton in Tang Zhen's Star Brain album.

After all these years, she could see that the school was consistent, oh no, it was even more dilapidated.

How poor could they be?

Zhou Yi began to worry about what kind of D-class mech he would be assigned.

"You're a new student, right? Come in quickly. You can also stay in the dorms if you report in advance!"

What Zhou Yi didn't expect was that such a school actually had security guards.

Protecting what? Protecting the primitive ecological environment?

An uncle in a security uniform greeted Zhou Yi enthusiastically, ushering him into the school.

Zhou Yi followed the security uncle into the school, walked across the large playground, and came to a building.

"This is the girls' dormitory. Don't mind the poor environment; each person gets their own room! Even B-class schools don't have this treatment!"

Yes, since there's no one else, of course, they can afford to give each person their own room.

Zhou Yi of course only said this silently in his heart.

"The school doesn't have a cafeteria. If you're hungry, just order nutrient solution on your Star Brain, and it'll be delivered to your door."

The uncle explained patiently.

"There are no shops either. You can buy any daily necessities you need on your Star Brain.

The atmosphere between teachers and students at Walton is very good, so just treat this place like home!"

"Okay... Thank you, uncle."

This new home was even more destitute than his previous one.

Life was getting worse day by day.

"Oh, you don't need to thank me. I was just afraid you'd leave! If a few more people leave this year, the school will close down, and I'll be unemployed. That wouldn't be good.

If the school can't keep people, I can only rely on sincere service to move them."

The security uncle chuckled heartily.

He was really straightforward.

Zhou Yi sighed.

The dormitory building was three stories high. The first and second floors were almost fully occupied by senior students.

Zhou Yi went up to the third floor and casually found a room near the staircase. The room number was 302.

He found a piece of paper in his bag, wrote his name on it, and stuck it on the door, marking it as his own room.

As he pushed the door open, a gust of dust made Zhou Yi cough.

With so much dust, it must have been at least half a year since anyone had lived here.

The place wasn't big. There was one room and one toilet. The room had a bed, a desk, and a chair. There was nothing else.

Zhou Yi covered his nose and took a rough look around, then quietly retreated and opened his Star Brain.

Alright, he'd buy some cleaning supplies and have a big clean-up.

Here we go, Zhou Zhou's school life begins!

Don't forget to collect it after reading, everyone~
