The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 125 Tolerance
Principal Yan gently stroked his teacup and suggested, "Why don't you all go back first, and come back in a couple of days to think things through? The doors of the Star Alliance are always open to you."

These words were like timely rain, and the three of them tacitly fell silent.

I decided to first look into Lei Qingya's background, and of course, that little bean sprout.

It's a strange phenomenon that Su Ninglong is so pampered that even her loyal dog, who has already recognized her as its master, is completely submissive and obediently panting for praise.

"I apologize for bothering you today." Dao Ge smoothed out his rolled-up sleeves, glancing at Lei Qingya and Su Ninglong out of the corner of his eye.

Lei Qingya had bright, clear eyes and was full of youthful vigor.

Su Ninglong's face was partially obscured by shadows, lacking the innocence of an ordinary child.

How could someone as respected as Principal Yan possibly favor such a cold-hearted and apathetic child?

Principal Yan watched the three men leave the office with a smile, then turned around and pressed the communicator to call the police, who dragged the men away.

Shortly after, the Star Police arrived, and the three who entered were choked by the stench of blood and covered their noses.

The young policewoman nearly dropped the electronic recording device. "Principal Yan, this is..."

"The one who stifled it got what it deserved; it just looks scary," Su Ninglong explained casually, sitting on the sofa.

“I see.” The young policewoman seemed to dislike the strangler. “Don’t worry, he won’t have a chance to speak.”

“No, if he wants to sue me, let him sue,” Su Ninglong said. “I’m willing to go to court and have a public trial.”

Principal Yan said disapprovingly, "Nonsense."

"Doing a good deed." Su Ninglong smiled lightly. Hyenas hiding in the gutter should be put out into the sunlight and publicly executed.

She lightly jumped to the ground and swaggered out of the principal's office.

"Goodbye, Principal. Thank you for your help."

"Lei, they might contact you within the next day or two. You'd better make a decision," Principal Yan reminded him.

"Only children make choices. Lei Lei can have it all," Su Ninglong said with a light reproach.

Lei Qingya gradually became flustered. No, she still had to make a choice. She couldn't afford to be distracted. She needed to learn about the special abilities of the three hunters first.

Su Ninglong shook her head. Young people these days are still too conservative.

The crisis of the strangler has been resolved, and he can go home as usual.

Su Ninglong thought Zou Shuyi would give her a big hug and a couple of kisses to show that she missed her.

Instead of being affectionate with her, Zou Shuyi looked like she was about to collapse: "You'd better move your things out of here."

Her house was piled high with gifts, some from Aria and Alice, some from their friends, and some from the Song family.

Zou Shuyi didn't even know who gave the gift. The gift was placed on the bar and said to be for Su Ninglong. She left without saying a word.

Fearing malicious contamination, she painstakingly checked the equipment.

"From now on, tell people not to send gifts here. Maybe you should have your own house."

The gifts were beyond the storage capacity of an average family. When Suninglong went up to the second floor, she was also taken aback and felt overwhelmed. She was worried that even finding a shelf wouldn't be enough to move them all.

……

Lei Qingya also went home to pack his luggage.

I opened the closet door and saw it was full of black and gray clothes. I touched the dozen or so brand-new leather outfits inside. Three months ago, I really liked these cool clothes.

Now, she's not planning to pack it up anymore.

A leather jacket is only good for looking cool; it's not as useful as a tracksuit, which dries faster after washing and doesn't require much care.

A very light footstep approached, and Lei Qingya turned around. "Mom, what are you doing in my room?"

"You're packing your bags again? Are you not planning to go home?" Lei's mother's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, her appearance charming and touching, but Lei Qingya couldn't appreciate her beauty.

Why did I develop a boyish personality?

Perhaps it stems from this fragile and easily crying mother.

She didn't want to become that kind of person, so she chose to hide herself with a strong exterior.

“I’m not running away on a whim,” Lei Qingya said calmly. “My job doesn’t allow me to come home often, so don’t worry about me. I’ll take good care of myself.”

“You’re the daughter of the Lei family, you don’t actually need to work so hard.” Lei’s mother’s eyes were red as she helped Lei Qingya fold her leather jacket. “Can’t we live together peacefully? You just have to make things difficult for yourself.”

Lei Qingya knew her mother's character well. As she matured, she realized that scolding and losing her temper would not solve the problem.

Abandoning her past extreme and provocative remarks, she carefully guided the conversation: "Not everyone is qualified to be a parasitic vine. I am the only daughter of the Lei family. I must either be a female CEO or have my own career. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

“Unless you and Dad have another child, my dad has no heirs, so why would he want me to lie down and do nothing, right?”

"Is that so?" Lei's mother's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she bit her lip.

That seems to be true. With such a large family business and children, of course they would want their children to inherit it.

Lei's mother looked conflicted. "But you said when you were little that you didn't want a younger brother or sister."

Lei Qingya was surprised, and suddenly her nose felt a little sore. She had completely forgotten that she had said something similar.

My mother was always unwilling to have more children; it turns out it was because of her?
Lei Qingya gently grasped her mother's hand. "It's okay, I've grown up now. Thank you, Mom, for tolerating my willfulness when I was little."

"Then... your father and I will try our best to give you a little brother so you can be laid off." A gentle smile bloomed on Lei's mother's face, and Lei Qingya hugged her. "Go for it. My future depends on you, Mom."

As if shouldering a heavy responsibility, Lei's mother said earnestly, "I will try my best."

As Lei Qingya walked out of the house with his luggage, he touched his mouth and realized that fooling people wasn't so difficult after all.

……

On the third day after the end of the semester, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the planet where the Star Alliance was located announced that it had entered a freezing period of more than 20 days, with the land frozen over.

Sally and Charlie, unable to study in the yard, moved into the warehouse to enjoy the warmth of the geothermal heating.

Lei Qingya locked all the pink stones in the cabinet to prevent the two from having any contact.

"Come help me open the gifts."

The three of them peeked towards the door. Su Ninglong shook the snowflakes off her shoulders and took the gifts in the cart to the warehouse.

Sally was surprised by the unexpected gift. "You bought so many things?"

"We didn't buy them. Come on, let's take them all apart. I need to go see Ms. Funi later." At the end of the semester, both teachers and students are busy.

Blue stones, green gemstones, and clear crystals—perhaps knowing she liked stones, they found her a box full of gemstones of various colors.

The Song family also sent a lot of gifts, saying it was a belated birthday present for her. She didn't even know how long ago her birthday had passed.

These people will make up any excuse to give gifts.

Su Ninglong was both amused and exasperated, feeling as if she had returned to the old Su family mountain. She had refused the gifts many times, but they would still automatically appear at the entrance of her cave.

"Wow, Dingding Mouse!" Charlie hugged a Dingding Mouse tightly and wouldn't let go.

"From now on, you can come here for a medicinal bath every day, and all those Dingding rats will be yours. How about it?" Su Ninglong said with a smile.

Cha Li nodded without hesitation. Su Ninglong wouldn't lie to him; she was his most trustworthy and best friend.

Sally raised her hand, "Can I take a medicinal bath too?"

"Taking a medicinal bath is not fun; the process is painful." Lei Qingya calculated the cost of the medicinal bath, which would be at least a million star coins. After working, she knew how expensive this amount of money was for ordinary people.

Su Ninglong readily agreed, "Okay!"

When it comes to experiments, if the test subjects are willing, Su Ninglong won't let this opportunity pass.

It's just a million star coins. It's a simple matter. If it can be solved with money, it's not a problem. She's not stingy with her experimental subjects.

Sally clenched her fist happily and reported on her family's recent situation while unwrapping the gift: "Thank you, Ninglong. My older brother and sister have gone to study at a social training institution. I told them that I used all the money I had earned recently to get the spots. I also told them that if they work hard after completing the program, they won't be any worse than me, and they cherish it very much."

The free skills training offered by the main planet is quite valuable, making it relatively easy to find a job. Extraterrestrial workers all want to enroll and learn, but it takes at least one to two years to complete the training.

Places are limited, and you need to compete for them during the online registration phase. After that, there will be an interview, and only people with basic writing skills and mental sane can attend the training.

Sally's older siblings probably knew this too, so they must be very grateful and cherish the fact that Sally spent all her money to send them in.

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, and it will lighten the burden on Sally's shoulders.

“However, I have an aunt and an uncle who have a lot of opinions about me spending money on their education.” Sally found this point somewhat difficult to understand.

"Don't pay attention to them. The money is yours, and you are in control. Don't let people without vision control your thinking."

“Actually, I have no foresight; you are the one with foresight.” Sally truly believed this. Given her intelligence and knowledge, she couldn’t possibly figure out how to relieve the depression and distress in her heart, no matter how hard she tried.

She is different from Su Ninglong. Su Ninglong can solve the predicament with practical actions after a little thought and also make arrangements for the future.

Su Ninglong chuckled, "Don't you have any smart bracelets at home? Go out and buy a few secondhand ones, let your younger siblings choose a direction first, and buy them some courses to learn in advance. Otherwise, even if the opportunity is presented to you, if they are not prepared, you will never be able to help them."

Sally obeyed without question, "I'll go pick some later, but I won't give them to them yet. I'll wait half a month." She couldn't let her family know how much money she earned.

All the gifts were unpacked, including many exquisitely crafted dolls, but Su Ninglong couldn't handle so many, so she kept two iron-eating beast dolls.

"I'll keep the rest; I'm saving them for my lovely juniors." Bribing those little kids became her informants.

The inconvenience of her classmates—there are a few annoying people constantly causing trouble—makes it difficult for her to establish a friendly image.

Lei Qingya: "..."

Holding a self-compiled reference book, Su Ninglong put on a thick hat and a khaki down jacket. She waved her hand and said, "Don't bother me unless it's important. Keep an eye out for any missions I can take, preferably in large areas of the suburbs or areas contaminated by mysterious spirits."

“Boss, you’re only four years old. Doing so many tasks won’t accumulate merit points, and you can’t accept the Mystic Spirit’s tasks on your own.”

"You just need to investigate; I'm not doing this task alone."

Lei Qingya understood: "I will follow your wishes."

Using a levitation board, Su Ninglong quickly arrived at the Information Department and went to Funi's office.

Funi's two assistants were carefully piecing together the antique when Su Ninglong pushed open the door and came in.

Assistant Zhou smiled at Su Ninglong and pointed to another studio, "Professor Funi is in the lab next door; she's waiting for you there."

Su Ninglong rubbed her frozen face. "Okay."

Before she could turn around, a voice filled with frost rang out behind her.

"Who is she? Don't you have to sign a confidentiality agreement to enter the lab?"

"It was permitted by Ms. Funi..."

"No one can allow it, because my experimental results are also there."

Assistant Zhou was helpless; the experimental results were clearly locked in a safe, so there was nothing in the lab.

Assistant Sun is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Su Ninglong turned around and said to Assistant Zhou, "It's okay. Do we need to sign a confidentiality agreement?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to sign it for you." Assistant Zhou took out a confidentiality agreement for regular visitors and handed it to Su Ninglong. "My senior sister meant well, that's just her temper."

Does she not know whether someone is well-intentioned or not? Su Ninglong is very sensitive to malice.

Assistant Sun doesn't like her, so she wants to embarrass her, but this kind of harassment is nothing. She's just a child, not an adult. Just pretend you don't understand.

After reviewing the agreement, which wasn't a contract and contained no harsh terms, Su Ninglong signed it readily.

Then I walked toward the laboratory.

Assistant Sun clenched the fragments of the ancient artifact in his hand. "What kind of sacred artifact did the teacher recently acquire? Why are we not even allowed into the lab, but she's allowed in?"

"Senior sister, if you don't know, how would I know?"

"Since you have a lot of free time, your mind is pretty much set. You might as well pay more attention to what's going on around you."

Assistant Zhou found Assistant Sun's questioning inexplicable and said aggrievedly, "We've taken on similar missions before. Many of the studies are conducted in secret, and only visitors can participate. Perhaps that object belongs to that child."

The research on sacred artifacts under exclusive commissions has always been conducted by designated researchers to prevent leaks.

Assistant Sun loosened the shards in her hand. "I... my tone was a bit harsh. I shouldn't have said that to you. The lab doesn't have much funding to begin with..."

“We have fixed salaries and only occasionally get commissions. Instead of worrying about funding, we should worry about when we can piece together newly excavated artifacts.”

"I know what to do without you reminding me. You should study more; efficiency is also very important." Assistant Sun then coldly reprimanded Assistant Zhou.

Assistant Zhou blushed deeply. She had just finished piecing together one antique last week, while her senior colleague had completed three.

"understood."

Su Ninglong arrived at the laboratory next door, rang the doorbell, and Funi quickly opened the door.

"Very punctual."

"We could have arrived earlier, but we didn't expect to have to sign an agreement," Su Ninglong subtly pointed out the situation.

Furney adjusted her thick glasses. "I was too excited and forgot about that. Whether you sign that agreement or not is not an issue for you. Come on, I've figured out some secrets about the pyramids."

Su Ninglong finally understood: Funi was intelligent, but she trusted the people around her too much.

Euphemistic expressions did not pique her curiosity to explore the conflicts between people.
