Chapter 113: Chapter 59: Xu Lei the Matchmaker

Su Jiameng glanced at those parts and noticed traces of disassembly on them. She turned her head and asked Xu Lei, “Have you assembled all these?”

Xu Lei nodded and added, “I assembled them before, but later disassembled them because there were several places where the assembly was incorrect, causing the mecha test data to deviate greatly from the expected budget, with high wear and abnormal engine data.”

Xu Lei had assembled all these mechas at least once, and some of them more than once. However, there were parts he didn’t quite understand, leading to failed assemblies, and the modified mecha data was still far from the instructor’s assessment criteria. But he discussed those issues with Su Jiameng later, and they solved everything. Now, if he had to reassemble, he would surely have no issues, although time was very tight.

Due to the team battle, he had forgotten about assembling and modifying the mechas. Now remembering it, he found the time too short. Assembling so many miniature mechas in one night was quite challenging for him. Helpless, he could only ask Su Jiameng for help.

“Oh… so these are the assembly data requirements for each mecha?” Su Jiameng discovered that there were some data on the Space Hub that were apparently the modification requirements for the target mecha. She glanced through them and got a rough idea in mind.

Both of them surrounded their respective piles of mecha parts. Xu Lei, having assembled them several times before, knew the data requirements by heart, so his actions were smooth. Although Su Jiameng was encountering these things for the first time, and they were unfamiliar, her assembly speed was even much quicker than Xu Lei’s. Her hands seemed to breathe life into the parts, with each move neat and efficient, holding an indescribable rhythm.

Since these mechas were miniaturized to a certain ratio, she didn’t need to move around with a lift, saving quite a bit of time and effort. Even though some parts were too small, they didn’t pose much trouble for her.

Half an hour later, she placed the assembled miniature mecha aside, letting Xu Lei test if the data met the requirements himself. She scratched her head, opened another mecha, and continued working. Halfway through the assembly, Su Jiameng said, “Helping you with this is really fine; your teacher won’t find any issues, right?”

Though she cleverly wore gloves to avoid leaving her fingerprints, the issue was that there were no fingerprints of Xu Lei either… Um, not exactly, because Xu Lei had assembled them before, there should be some fingerprints left… But if it were that simple, wouldn’t anyone be able to have others do their homework for them? The teachers at the Xilena First Affiliated School surely must have considered this…

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei turned his head to look at her and saw that she had already finished one unit while the one in his hands was only sixty or seventy percent complete. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly, finding her skills in this area to be somewhat uncanny and formidable, “After school starts, the teacher will randomly select two or three mechas for testing. Even if someone else helps to complete the assignment, it’ll be found out…”

Su Jiameng felt at this moment that the teacher who left these assignments for Xu Lei was quite sly.

The two worked together for almost half the night, assembling or modifying all the mechas. Xu Lei tested the data one by one, finding the modified data by Su Jiameng to be extremely stable, with very minimal deviation from the specified data. On the other hand, the data he assembled and reassembled had more deviations than hers… At this moment, Xu Lei couldn’t help but feel frustrated, indeed, comparisons can be aggravating.

“I hope the teacher won’t randomly select the mechas you assembled for the test, or else I’d be found out.” Xu Lei laughed wryly as he put the mechas back into the Space Hub one by one. Su Jiameng lazily stretched, rubbed her stiff neck.

Even though they were miniature mechas, assembling several of them made her feel stiff and uncomfortable all over.

Xu Lei packed up those Space Hubs and, looking at Su Jiameng’s manner, suddenly had a thought and asked her, “Does Xiao Meng have any intention of studying at the Xilena First Affiliated School? If it’s you, you should be able to make it. Moreover, your household registration has been transferred to Qiming Star, qualifying you for the entrance exam. Achieving some accomplishments would also benefit the future of the two children.”

Su Jiameng was taken aback, not expecting Xu Lei to give her such a suggestion. Her gaze wavered as she said, “To be honest, I haven’t planned to go to school… Considering my age, if I followed the normal age to attend school…”

Xu Lei suddenly realized his oversight, dark lines appearing on his forehead. Su Jiameng’s household registration says she’s just over sixteen, and if she followed the typical schooling timeline, she’d be in about second or third grade… second or third grade… the lower grades…
