Chapter 576: Chapter 576: The Garbage Star’s Good-for-Nothing (13)
"By the way, Mutou Star is a waste disposal station, there’s all kinds of junk here. She might have used these to learn. Professor, look at the parts she brought over—half new, half old, with patches—most likely picked from the junkyard."
At Zhang Yue’s reminder, Wenn Yu snapped back to reality, "Her chair is nice, why haven’t I seen it sold anywhere? It can fully massage and adjust structure with body movement."
"It looks like it’s self-assembled," Zhang Yue searched online, "There really isn’t a chair like this for sale."
"Perhaps, this is a self-taught genius," said Wenn Yu as he noticed Qiann Yan glance at him, satisfaction in her eyes.
He felt very curious.
Qiann Yan spent ten days meticulously identifying all the spacecraft’s faults, making the two believe that it was the result of online research.
Finding out that Wenn Yu and Zhang Yue didn’t think she was an elite stranded here, she felt content.
If they were suspicious, she could be even slower.
"All faults have been eliminated, now we need to go to the junkyard for parts." Qiann Yan walked up to Wenn Yu and said, "You two come with me."
Originally, she had picked up some spacecraft parts, planning to use them during repairs. The duo’s previous attitude warned her that taking out parts as if pre-prepared might cause suspicion.
Wenn Yu didn’t expect that one day, as a professor, he’d be picking through garbage. Yet, he wasn’t repulsed, perhaps even a bit eager.
Qiann Yan led the duo in scavenging for seven days to barely gather the required parts. Initially shy, they soon became adept at rummaging through the junkyard, tools in hand.
"Qiann Yan, do we have all the parts now?" Wenn Yu asked.
Qiann Yan looked at the various parts assembled beside them, "They need repair to be usable."
At last, no more scavenging.
Both Wenn Yu and Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief; recalling the experience, they found it absurd.
Through this period, they learned Qiann Yan grew up on Mutou Star, not an abandoned elite child.
From a young age, she was adept at fixing all sorts of household appliances, with neighbors frequently asking her for repairs.
"Zhang Yue, don’t you think leaving Qiann Yan on Mutou Star wastes her talent?"
Chewing his food, Zhang Yue quickly replied, "Professor, I’ve been wanting to say, producing a genius like her on a place like Mutou Star is almost unheard of."
"So, you mean to take her to Emperor Star, right?" Wenn Yu nodded, "Such talent deserves more systematic learning. If she’s this impressive now, she will be even more so in the future."
"I’ll talk to her about it during a break."
When Wenn Yu mentioned to Qiann Yan that her talent could see her study systematically on Emperor Star, and he could recommend her, as a token of gratitude for repairing the spacecraft.
Qiann Yan didn’t refuse, expressing great interest in the opportunity.
Wenn Yu’s attitude pleased her, so the next day she completed the spacecraft’s repair.
Zhang Yue was astonished, proclaiming her a once-in-a-century talent.
Though Wenn Yu was happy, he also felt something was off. Based on prior progress, he estimated it would take another ten or so days to complete the repairs.
He looked over at Qiann Yan, sitting in the pilot seat, her face serious, showing no sign of oddity.
"Qiann Yan, can you pilot?" Zhang Yue was a bit worried, "Maybe I should do it."
