Wang Tong studied Tee's earnest expression and mumbled, "Ok, sister Tee . "
"Ha, excellent, Tong Tong . Now, I am going to show you our designated working area . We repair any damaged structures within this area . " Tee was genuinely satisfied by Wang Tong's attitude .
"The exterior structure? I thought we are in charge of the machines?"
"You wish! Only the technologist and engineers are allowed to touch those . Stay away from them though; those nerds can make you fall asleep in seconds . "
"We are in charge of district E . Hey, do you want to see space suits?" Tee said as she pulled a lever on the wall, causing a giant gate to crack open slowly, revealing an enormous storage area that was filled to the brim with METAL suits . These METAL were equipped with gravity modules, so the wearer could walk freely in space .
Over the last three hundred years, not only had the ground forces been getting increasingly reliant on METAL suits and soul energy, but also the space fighters . Although their METAL was much weaker than Einherjar's, it could ward off the harmful elements in the deadly space .
Every space METAL's boots were equipped with a gravity unit, which also served as a propelling unit powered by the wearer's GN force . Needless to say, such METAL suit was costly, and as a result, only level five or above fighters would be allowed to use them . Luckily, the nature of the fleet battle required only a handful of space fighters, since the Zergs were still struggling to overcome the defense of a battleship .
Each battleship was equipped with numerous artillery towers . Although these cannons were capable of auto-aiming, the fleet preferred some degree of manual control, since Zergs easily hacked auto-aiming . This was where Karl and Flash would shine, as they both had top notch micro control abilities .
Tee was busy with her own work after showing Wang Tong around . She left him with a pile of documents for him to research .
It was true that time could change anything, particularly people's heart . Just a few years ago, the Blade Warrior was still revered as the savior of the world . But now, everyone's attention was on Einherjar Wannabe .
After being cast aside by the public, the heir of the Blade Warrior ended up working as a handyman . However, he obeyed his order like a good soldier . Soon, Wang Tong was absorbed in the manuals that Tee had left for him, and before he knew it, he had finished his first shift .
Wang Tong turned off the data screen and went to the cafeteria .
By the time Wang Tong arrived at the cafeteria, it was already simmering with chattering . After their first day of work on the Ark, everyone was eager to share their experiences .
Wang Tong ordered a meal and sat down by an empty table . The table didn't remain empty for long, as his friends entered the dining room one after another . He quickly learned that Zhou Sisi was assigned to the commander's office . How exciting would that be? In addition to Zhou Sisi, Ma Xiaoru was also appointed to the top floor .
"Wang Tong, how's your work?"
"I did nothing . They gave me a bunch of manuals to read over . I think I should be a garage mechanic after I'm done here . " Wang Tong pitied himself . The other's shiny new jobs didn't help lighten up his mood .
Everyone offered they consolation and tried to convince him that Samantha would not let him stay down there for too long .
Inside the cafeteria, students naturally formed four groups, each surrounding four young leaders: Wang Tong, Patroclus, Li Shiming, and Lie Jian, and kept their distances from each other .
Competition between the four groups was a real thing . So far, team Wang Tong had lost round one, since Wang Tong had been assigned to the least important post .
Wang Tong's situation didn't improve in the days that followed . He had been staring at the same manuals for five days, and didn't receive a single instruction . However, Wang Tong started to get used to the laidback lifestyle . He found plenty of time to focus on his cultivation and learn about ship designs .
During the night, Wang Tong would plunge into the space crystal and train with even greater efficiency . Although he was still far from making a breakthrough, it had improved his soul energy nonetheless .
Wang Tong quickly learned that the so-called happiness was a relative term . If he could feel content with whatever situation he was in, he would always be happy . Just like that old saying went, 'If God gave you a lemon, don't fancy the orange juice . '
Meanwhile, on earth, Old Fart was sipping on his orange juice while basking under the afternoon sun . "Haha! That little sh*t must be bored to death by now! It always puts a smile on my face . "
"I have heard he is doing well . Aren't you afraid that he will lose steam?"
"Haha, whatever! He has grown up, and we can't control him anymore . I am only interested in when I can have a grandson in my arms . "
"He will be in my arms first . "
"No way! You can have Wang Tong, but I want my grandson! Remember, he is the heir of the Templar's court!"
"Yea, yea, who cares about tampon-lars . He will inherit half of House Ma's assets as well . "
"Haha, you old prick! Well, sounds like he will need to have more than one child . "
"My poor daughter . . . But, it sounds like a plan!"
"Haha!"
A few more days passed by, and Wang Tong had already adapted to the new lifestyle, while everyone else was still obsessed with climbing the ranks .
Soon, Wang Tong realized a surprising benefit of reading manuals . Since he started reading, he found that he was no longer obsessed with fighting . As a result, it had become much easier for him to concentrate on his cultivation .
Wang Tong didn't disturb Mr . Wannabe either . He knew that the old ghost would come out to have some fresh air if he could . His silence meant his recovery was slow, so Wang Tong thought it was better to leave him alone .
On the weekend, Wang Tong wanted to spend some quality time with Ma Xiaoru, but the third wheel Li Ruoer made it impossible .
While Wang Tong was in the washroom, Ma Xiaoru sneaked in and explained the situation . It turned out that Li Ruoer was bombarded by Lie Jian and Porten's onslaught of unwanted attention, and sought refuge in her room .
Wang Tong groped Ma Xiaoru and pressed a dozen kisses on her body .
"Well . What about us? We can't let her stay here forever!"
"Pervert! Let me think about it . She had helped me a lot, so I can't just leave her alone . "
"Why don't you tell her to choose one of them . She will have to get married one day anyway . "
