Explosive Learning

Xi Xiu took out some clothes from the Space Locket and tidied them up. The little girl was busy for about an hour.

It was already dusk, and the sun had set in the west. Xi Xiu planned to take a bath, change clothes, have a meal, do some simple exercises in her room, and then rest.

When she looked up, she saw Xue Fanhui looking at her with a look of surprise.

"Hello, is there something you need?" Xi Xiu saw that Xue Fanhui hadn't spoken for a long time and decided to speak first.

"Oh, nothing. You're Hong Xixiu?"

"Yes, and you're Xue Fanhui, right? I just arrived and don't know much. If I've disturbed you, please tell me directly, and I'll change." Xi Xiu knew that even though they lived under the same roof, everyone had different habits, even children.

What you don't care about might be something others are sensitive about. It's better to communicate beforehand to avoid more conflicts later.

Children in the Alliance began receiving various knowledge at three years old, and physical and mental training started as early as two.

Xue Fanhui looked like she was a year older than Xi Xiu's physical age. Children over six in the Alliance already understood everything.

Therefore, Xi Xiu didn't communicate with Xue Fanhui in a way that would coax a child. Based on Xue Fanhui's reaction, her approach was correct.

"I like quiet. When I'm sitting at the table working on models, I don't like my train of thought to be interrupted."

Xue Fanhui didn't expect her younger sister to be so considerate. Her previous roommate was too noisy, which was why she had asked Vivian to move.

"Okay, I like quiet too. I'll remember that," Xi Xiu nodded and smiled at Xue Fanhui.

Xue Fanhui was also happy. After all, it was a pleasant thing to have one's habits respected, so she smiled back at Xi Xiu.

Xi Xiu looked at the distinctive-looking girl in front of her. She looked different from everyone Xi Xiu had met.

She had tanned skin, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, and stood with perfect posture. The girl looked full of vitality.

Xi Xiu was also pleased. She thought she and Xue Fanhui wouldn't have too many conflicts in the future and could get along well.

The two had reached a preliminary consensus, laying the first cornerstone for their future relationship.

After their first interaction, Xue Fanhui returned to her room to pack her clothes, planning to go after her next-door roommate finished showering.

There weren't many children in the nursery, only about 200, and they were all girls.

Most of them were homeless or abandoned, and some were orphans from the frontier battlefields who had been placed there according to the Alliance's proximity principle.

There were over 90 children around 10 years old, in another building, and they usually didn't come to Xi Xiu's area.

For ease of management, the nursery had three children per suite, with each child having their own room. They were all children of similar ages to prevent older ones from bullying younger ones, and they shared a bathroom and shower room.

The living space was very spacious, and the furniture was very modern. All the black technology made things incredibly convenient, and Xi Xiu liked it very much.

She had just checked out the bathroom and came out feeling refreshed and clean.

The clothes were made of quick-drying fabric, light and breathable. It was just the color that was a bit hard to accept – a set of dull green clothes. Wearing them made her feel like a moving blob of green ointment.

Alas, it couldn't be helped, as the color of Ningkui Star was green. Thus, the buildings and furnishings here were often this "refreshingly pleasant" green, which was a major characteristic of Ningkui Star.

After her bath, the robot had already delivered the day's nutrient paste, which was carrot-flavored.

Xi Xiu had been eating this since she was in the laboratory. She was a bit tired of it, but she had no choice; she had to continue eating it for balanced nutrition.

She finished dinner in five minutes, tidied up the trash, and Xi Xiu began her exercises: simple punches, arm strength training, and how to control her Mental Power.

An hour later, Xi Xiu, having worked up a sweat, stood under the showerhead again.

After a burst of steam, she felt much more comfortable. Once finished, Xi Xiu climbed onto her small bed, ready to rest.

The Xue Fanhui next door was shocked by her self-discipline, as even she couldn't achieve that. So, Xue Fanhui also sped up her training and got into bed after Xi Xiu turned off the lights.

On her first night on Ningkui Star, Xi Xiu slept very lightly. Having not dreamed on her escape journey, she surprisingly dreamed of her past life and of that person.

When the alarm on her terminal rang in the early morning, Xi Xiu was still a bit disoriented, with dried tear marks at the corners of her eyes.

Xi Xiu sat up, hugged her knees, and looked at the dim sky outside the window. The sun hadn't risen yet, and the nursery was silent, just like her heart at that moment. She could never go back.

She looked around, her large eyes taking everything in. This place would be her resting place from now on; she would live here. What the future held, no one could predict.

With no time to think further, she heard the sound of Xue Fanhui starting her exercises from the next room.

Xi Xiu quickly got up, tidied her bed, and regretted her short arms and legs. Her little hands were too short, so she nimbly went to wash up.

The robot was already waiting outside the living room. Once Xi Xiu was in place, the robot connected them to the Star Net's virtual academy. After putting on the virtual device, Xi Xiu lay in the star pod and began her day's learning.

The education system here started at five years old and ended the first stage of academics at sixteen. The curriculum over eleven years included four basic languages, applied mathematics and science, mechanical principles, medical principles, and combat.

There was also a physical training routine that all Alliance citizens had to learn. This physical training was divided into nine levels and required exams on the Star Net. This training was for the future, ensuring citizens could protect themselves if a war broke out.

And then there were the troublesome languages. Sixi had taught her the Alliance's common language, but to live on Ningkui Star, she needed to know its native language.

Her course schedule also included Anvile, Miu Run Language, and Aola. For other languages, she would rely on translation devices, but these four were mandatory and would be tested.

In addition, she had to privately learn Mingzhao Language, fearing she might slip up in the future, so she was learning it as a precaution. In total, she had to learn five languages. Overall, Xi Xiu had quite a lot of coursework.

Therefore, where was the time to be sad? She could only strive and struggle.

Thinking about the lifespan of humans made Xi Xiu excited. Even if she only lived to 230, combined with her short 28 years in her previous life, she felt she hadn't lost out. It completely compensated for the regret of dying young in her previous life!

She wanted to work hard to become stronger. In this life, she was determined to live a full life until her natural end!

Lying in the star pod, Xi Xiu entered an even more wondrous world.

She followed the prompts, setting up her nickname and avatar. Her ID was fixed and couldn't be changed.

For her nickname, Xi Xiu used the Alliance's code for Ningkui Star. Xi Xiu chose one of the female avatars provided by the system for her Star Net appearance; it was as ordinary as could be.

The first course was learning the language and culture of Ningkui Star. After logging into the Star Net, Xi Xiu entered the virtual academy to study.

The virtual academy was holographic, and the lecturing teacher was indistinguishable from a real person, speaking very vividly. Xi Xiu found it effortless to learn.

Xi Xiu felt that every new technology she encountered refreshed her understanding. This feeling was truly, incredibly weak.

After two hours, a robot would send a message to the children studying, reminding them to go offline and rest, and to log back in after twenty minutes.

By the end of the day, Xi Xiu had basically grasped the rhythm of living and studying here.

All three meals were Nutrient Paste, and sometimes Nutrient Solution. The types differed for each age group.

Xi Xiu ate happily because it finally didn't taste like carrots. To ensure a balanced diet, the nursery changed their flavors every two days.
