Chapter 1346: Chapter 1255: Interstellar Life 26

Pei Shuangshuang’s knowledge reserve is indeed only at the Basic Genetic Repairer level, which is quite extraordinary for her age.

The reason Pei Shuangshuang is thought to be a Second Level Genetic Repairer is due to her extraordinary spiritual power. Even though she cannot wield the spiritual power of her Main God, Pei Shuangshuang’s own spiritual power is already extremely formidable.

Because Pei Shuangshuang received her spiritual power linked with her past life, it was her powerful spiritual power that enabled her to soothe Chi Rui Ming at the time.

If she were to truly repair Chi Rui Ming’s genetic chain, without any experience, she certainly wouldn’t do as well as those professional Genetic Repairers.

Pei Shuangshuang remains composed, and like her, the students learning Genetic Repair together with her appear out of place among the crowd of tense students.

Since their future goal is to become Genetic Repairers, taking part in this practical exercise isn’t about the result but the process, so their mindset is naturally better.

With three hundred top schools conducting practical exercises together, each of these elite schools has at least a starting number of one hundred thousand students.

Take the Federal First Military Academy where Pei Shuangshuang studies; it occupies an area as vast as a large city, with a total of 123,000 students, gathering most of the Federation’s best aspiring military students.

When three hundred schools with such a large number of students converge to host practical exercises, it’s beyond what an ordinary city could manage.

Thus, the principals of these schools convened and, with great boldness, decided to charter a planet to serve as the gathering site for the practical exercises.

The gathering site for the practical exercise is on D852 Star, a tourist planet. The Federal First Military Academy, with considerable spending, chartered an entire Cosmic Ship to transport all its students to D852 Star.

From a distance, D852 Star appears blue-green, with blue seas and green forests. As it is a tourist star, there aren’t many buildings on it.

The Federal First Military Academy’s residence area had been booked in advance; it was a hotel built in a palace style combining classical and interstellar features.

The hotel is entirely suspended in mid-air, with its hundred-story structure designed in the style of ancient buildings, making each building resemble a colossal ancient mansion, though real ancient architecture couldn’t possibly be this tall.

Eighteen classical skyscrapers in total, they are interconnected at the highest point by classical arch bridges, and these bridges also have eaves constructed on them, full of ancient charm.

These arch bridges are ideal for sightseeing; the magnificent landscape unfolds beneath your feet—this place is truly beautiful.

Pei Shuangshuang stands on the arch bridge, her attire suitably transformed into traditional clothing. This outfit was specially ordered by Gu Yue for Pei Shuangshuang, and Gu Yue also has one.

The fabric is made from ice silkworm silk, cool to the touch. Wearing this outfit in the hot summer, one feels no heat at all.

Pei Shuangshuang’s appearance is outstanding, her brows and eyes picturesque, her demeanor noble. Standing silently there, she resembles the most beautiful painting, captivating one’s heart with a casual glance.

Several students from the Federal First Military Academy pass by the arch bridge, directly captivated by Pei Shuangshuang standing there. Even after passing her, they can’t help but turn back for another look.

Chi Ruiqiu specifically comes to the Federal First Military Academy’s residence area to find Pei Shuangshuang, and happens to witness her in this classical attire, his eyes instantly flashing with amazement.

"Shuangshuang, this outfit really suits you, completely different from the messy-haired wild girl I saw in your room last time."

For some reason, Chi Ruiqiu’s mouth always wants to jest when he encounters Pei Shuangshuang. His opening words are praise, but his tone soon turns cheeky.

Pei Shuangshuang turns to look at Chi Ruiqiu. Today, Chi Ruiqiu wears the Federal First Academy’s uniform, modeled after military attire, a white garment with silver threads embroidering intricate patterns on the shoulders and cuffs.

This kind of outfit could enhance the handsomeness of even the less good-looking people by threefold, not to mention Chi Ruiqiu, who is a superbly handsome young man; the outfit further accentuates his upright and jade-like elegance.

"Why are you here looking for me at this time?" Pei Shuangshuang’s lips curve into a smile, her demeanor gentle, yet her tone remains consistently cool and straightforward.

She finds that Chi Ruiqiu has too much influence on her; every time she faces him, she can’t remain calm. This feeling is really unsettling, making her regret marking the personal terminal with him.

"What kind of reaction is that? I hurried over to find you as soon as I settled in today, and this is how you treat me.

If I didn’t know you never have friends because of a personality issue, I’d think you have a problem with me.

With emotional intelligence like yours, only I can tolerate you; otherwise, someone else would have been scared away by your attitude long ago."

There’s no denying that Chi Ruiqiu’s misunderstanding is significant. Mainly, since Pei Shuangshuang has three strict mentors, all her time is devoted to learning, leaving no room for making friends or going out.

Initially, Gu Yue and the others were worried that Pei Shuangshuang’s reclusive nature might affect her mindset negatively. They tried several times to help Pei Shuangshuang make friends, offering her holidays to go out and play with friends, among other initiatives.

Unfortunately, Pei Shuangshuang continued studying even during holidays, completely disregarding Gu Yue’s arrangements. Even if she reluctantly went out with friends, she would leave early and remain silent throughout.

After confirming that Pei Shuangshuang genuinely preferred solitary study over socializing and several failed attempts at encouraging her to make friends, Gu Yue, Wei An, and Sun Jie gave up.

Since they realized Pei Shuangshuang didn’t have psychological issues, the trio completely abandoned the idea of rescuing their prized student from her solitary tech-savvy lifestyle.

No friends, then no friends. After all, Pei Shuangshuang is still young, and there’s plenty of time for her to make friends.

Initially, Chi Ruiqiu felt quite hurt by Pei Shuangshuang’s cold attitude. He, too, is a proud and self-assured individual, naturally unwilling to persistently ingratiate himself.

Nonetheless, when he learned that Pei Shuangshuang had no friends and her daily routine involved nothing but study, involving interactions primarily with her teachers, Chi Ruiqiu became indifferent to Pei Shuangshuang’s attitude.

He understands Pei Shuangshuang’s situation: high intelligence, low emotional intelligence, her mind filled with scholarly pursuits and knowledge acquisition, and she probably doesn’t know how to make friends, hence why her words can be so off-putting at times.

Chi Ruiqiu perceives that Pei Shuangshuang has a favor concerning his family, and someone who doesn’t know how to interact with people and has no friends is simply too pitiable.

If even he is unwilling to be her friend, then given Pei Shuangshuang’s personality, it’s likely she won’t make any friends throughout her life.

Due to this misunderstanding, Chi Ruiqiu approaches Pei Shuangshuang with a perceptive mindset, which is why Pei Shuangshuang, despite not wanting any dealings with Chi Ruiqiu, can’t bring herself to treat him with excessively hurtful attitudes.
