Chapter 110: Involution (Additional update for leader Dongyou Lingyu) (5th update)

Su Ming sighed as he looked at the price; it was outrageously expensive.

He finally understood why the Thirteenth District was still endlessly entangled with Lomoske Interstellar Heavy Industry.

An order for one Gun Knight and five Flame Riders would cost at least 600 million federal currency, and possibly even more, given that the academy store prices might be slightly cheaper.

If he had that much money on the line, he too would be endlessly entangled with Lomoske Interstellar Heavy Industry.

Su Ming stroked his chin, carefully pondering matters related to mechas.

The price of 500 million was truly beyond his reach at the moment.

However, Su Ming quickly recalled something: last night, he had seen the family group company’s financial summary in his grandfather’s study, which clearly stated an uncompensated gift of a Third Generation Mecha · Chaser to the Royal Court Order.

Thinking of this, Su Ming closed his eyes and replayed that financial summary in his mind, instantly pinpointing the loss amount.

Then, Su Ming opened his eyes and said to himself with conviction,

“300 million federal currency!”

Su Ming let out a small breath; it seemed his family could indeed produce Third Generation Mechas.

From the selling price, its performance should not be comparable to the Gun Knight, but it was a Third Generation Mecha nonetheless.

Su Ming thought it over carefully; he felt it would be truly foolish to have a platform and resources and not use them. Instead of buying other Third Generation Mechas, it would be better to buy from his own family.

If he could make his grandfather happy, perhaps he could purchase it at production cost. If his luck was even better, his grandfather might even give him one directly. Although this probability was low, it wasn’t impossible.

After all, his grandfather had already given away a Third Generation Mecha for his good-for-nothing grandson.

Thinking of this, Su Ming turned to prepare to go home.

However, he had only taken a few steps before he stopped. His expression shifted, and he finally sighed, muttering to himself,

“Forget it, I’ll go back after a while!”

Su Ming felt the probability of getting it for free was low. After all, the Su Family had already incurred losses this year. Even if his grandfather agreed, his uncles and aunts would definitely not agree and would cause a huge fuss.

Also, he wasn’t the only one who got into Royal Court Academy this year; Su Bin also got in, and he was also in the Mecha Department.

If he were to get it for free, he couldn’t show favoritism.

Therefore, being able to purchase it at cost price would be the best outcome. But for a 300 million mecha, the production cost, no matter how cheap, would probably be over 100 million. The money he had on hand was really not enough.

Thinking of this, Su Ming decided not to go back for now. He decided to stay at the school first, familiarize himself with the different areas, and think about how to earn money. After all, asking his family for money was not his style.

So Su Ming walked towards the main building; he needed to retrieve his clothes and then return to his dorm.

Two days later.

Royal Court Academy Library, 3rd floor.

Rows of bookshelves filled with books were neatly arranged.

Along the walls were recessed bookshelves, densely packed with books.

A quick glance revealed at least millions of books on display.

At this moment, Su Ming held a book titled “Kirami Construction Compendium,” leaning against the edge of a bookshelf, reading with some absorption.

Every book in the library had been screened and was of very high quality.

Buzz buzz ~

Just then, Su Ming’s phone vibrated in his pocket. He frowned, stopped reading, and then pulled out his phone to look at it.

He found that it was an unknown number calling.

Su Ming walked towards an empty corner nearby, answered the call, and asked in a low voice,

“Hello, may I ask who this is?”

“Class monitor, it’s Rhine.”

Rhine’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Su Ming was slightly startled. Although he and Rhine were bunkmates, they hadn’t had much special interaction these past few days, at most a polite greeting when they met.

“Is something wrong?”

“Where are you? If it’s convenient, could you come back to the dorm? We can discuss it in person.”

Rhine said politely.

“Okay!”

Su Ming simply agreed, then hung up the phone.

He closed the open book in his hand, walked to a bookshelf, neatly returned the book, and then left the library.

A moment later, Su Ming returned to dorm 301.

The moment he entered the dorm, his expression was also slightly surprised.

The already small dorm was crowded with classmates, and even girls like An Qi had come.

“Class monitor, you’re here.”

An Qi and the other girls greeted him politely.

“Hmm, has something happened?”

Su Ming calmly asked An Qi and the others. With so many classmates gathered together, it surely wasn’t for a good reason.

“Let me explain! Although there are still more than twenty days until the official start of school, teachers from other classes have already started teaching their students, but our teacher hasn’t made any move!”

Rhine said, clearly annoyed.

“Exactly, others have started classes, we can’t just keep waiting like this.”

“That’s right, everyone else is working hard, but we’re like headless flies.”

Many classmates spoke, one after another.

Su Ming understood what was happening when he heard this.

To sum it up in one sentence, everyone else had started to “roll” (compete fiercely), but their class had no movement yet. Their teacher was already not great, and now they were falling even further behind, so everyone was anxious.

“So, what do you need me to do?”

Su Ming calmly looked at Rhine and the others.

“We plan to go find the teacher and make her take responsibility. Su Ming, you are the class monitor, so you should lead this matter.”

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

“Alright then,” Su Ming sighed, “I knew this class monitor position would be a lot of trouble. But I can’t just ignore this, after all, if I can persuade Mia to start classes early, it will also benefit me.”

“We know, but it’s useless, she doesn’t answer her phone.”

“Then where do we find her?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve found out which teacher’s dorm she lives in, room 201. Let’s go find her together.”

Rhine said very decisively.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Su Ming couldn’t help but look at Rhine twice. This guy was capable; he prepared everything very thoroughly.

Rhine and the others didn’t waste words and led the way out.

Soon after.

Su Ming and the others arrived at the Royal Court Academy faculty and staff dormitories.

Compared to the students’ shabby dorm buildings, the dorm buildings here were very high-end. All were villa-style units, and the rooms were independent suites, also equipped with large balconies.

Even in the central area of the building, there was a flowerbed planted with flowers and green plants.

“It’s in room 201 of that building ahead.”

Rhine pointed to a dorm building ahead and said.

“Let’s go!”

Su Ming led them towards Mia’s dorm room.

Soon, the group arrived at room 201, and Su Ming took the lead in pressing the doorbell.

Ding-dong ~

However, when the doorbell stopped ringing, no one opened the door.
