Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!

Chapter 613 - 185: Flames of War Erupt (Part 3)

Su Xiaocai happened to be too lazy to argue with them. The situation could change at any moment, and getting a bit crazy was better than babbling idly.Ai Shengping cooperatively winked at them proudly, "Would you guys like to pool in some money to listen together, or should I tell you after my consultation?"

What’s the difference? These professor assistants were infuriated, yet they could do nothing about it.

Mysterious. Maybe they were conspiring some big plan, unwilling for others to get involved.

At this moment, everyone looked at the wealthy Professor Zhang.

Professor Zhang was famous in academia for being rich.

Professor Zhang cleared his throat, "If I say I’m willing to pay, does that mean I can..."

Su Xiaocai: "No, I’m not teaching just anyone. You’re showing up out of the blue, and I’ve already been quite polite. I haven’t even looked at your questions, so I don’t know how serious they are. If I charge less and the questions are significant, I’d feel it’s a loss."

The crowd: "..."

You’re still picky about it.

Professor Ai Shengping chuckled secretly. Su Xiaocai’s words could be quite biting when impatient.

Professor Zhang turned red with anger, "Ignorant kid!"

"Immature (knowledgeable) old man," Su Xiaocai retorted.

Outside, there was a loud bang, a flash of red light, followed by a rolling heat wave, and the whole house emitted a low buzzing sound.

Under attack.

Su Xiaocai pulled the curtains, multiple protective shields rose, a recent attack had targeted here.

The people secretly protecting Su Xiaocai were startled, thankful they were inside the shields, or they wouldn’t have survived.

Colonel Yuan finally got in touch, proactively sending a notification.

"Global alert, Insect Man army attacking, Blue Star entering Level One alert."

Knowing Su Xiaocai would certainly ask, Colonel Yuan feared she would venture out to investigate, and proactively informed, "Don’t act impulsively. The Insect Men are here; it’s all part of a plan. We have reinforcements, no matter the situation, you must protect yourself above all."

Su Xiaocai recalled the meteor she saw not long ago, now realizing why it seemed familiar. She made the mecha herself, there’s no way she’d mistaken it.

An acquaintance had sneaked in.

"Hmm. Did you know professors were planning to go to the space station today?"

"Hmm?" Colonel Yuan quickly asked Admiral Bai’s secretary if there was any plan, the secretary shook his head, "No such plan, the original plan was in three days, to be implemented once Admiral Bai returns."

"Where did you hear this?" Colonel Yuan lifted his hand to contact the professors, then paused, "Did you stop them from going?"

"Yes, make sure to credit me later, I want a badge to bring back for my dad to hang on the medal wall." Daddy Su had that little honor obsession.

Su Xiaocai certainly wanted Daddy Su to praise her lavishly.

Colonel Yuan: "Alright, Professor Su, make sure to protect the old professors, we can’t spare any personnel for now."

"Got it, with me here, you can rest assured."

Even more worried, what to do.

Su Xiaocai was truly low-key when low-key, but her high-profile moments could drive people crazy.

Actually, there’s no need to worry about Su Xiaocai, but they feared she would meddle and disrupt plans.

Su Xiaocai knew they had their own plan, naturally, she wouldn’t intervene, this was not like the unguarded Huangyang Star incident or the ridiculous human implant mother body event.

The military was prepared, she’d obediently wait.

The red light earlier and the sharp alarm sound all signified something big was happening. Professor Ai Shengping just took a step forward.

Professor Zhang was faster than anyone, pointing at Ai Shengping, "Did you know in advance about the attack, colluding with Su Xiaocai inside and out, trapping us here? If it weren’t for you, I’d be at the space station now, ready to escape on a battleship anytime."

Su Xiaocai twitched her mouth, "Are you really a professor?"

Insect Man invasion, do you think you can escape just by saying so? The ring-shaped shuttle isn’t built yet, entering and exiting the battleship requires approval, what spaceship would he use to escape?

Could it be another conspiracy where a spy sails off with the battleship?

The student council could be fooled, surely, the professors couldn’t be so stupid.

Professor Zhang: "Anyway, I have to leave now, it’s not safe here, are you going or not?"

No one responded, seeing Su Xiaocai’s calm demeanor, outside probably wasn’t safer than here.

"Bon voyage, I won’t see you off." Su Xiaocai didn’t stop him, she only promised the professors they wouldn’t come to any harm with her, if they wanted to roll out and venture, they’d go out.

That’s one less burden for her.

"Do you all just trust her? It’s so open here, it will definitely become a target."

Finishing the sentence, a Demon Eye Worm Person dropped down; Su Xiaocai’s garden’s protective shield could only block energy attacks, the edge of the house only had physical protection.

But Su Xiaocai was very calm.

A slight blink, dozens of Black Wings were released, protecting Su Xiaocai’s Mecha Masters, a total of thirty people.

A small house, with thirty Captains or above ranked Mecha Masters stationed, the density was so high, Blue Star likely didn’t have a place safer than Su Xiaocai’s.

Plus, the bodyguards and the professors themselves were strong support.

They could form a robust, sustainable combat team.

Seeing this, others were even less likely to leave, not knowing the situation outside; even if this place became a target, it couldn’t be breached instantly.

Professor Zhang was furious, his voice muffled, "With so many soldiers, you should send a few to escort me to another safe haven."

"Old Man Zhang, that’s enough." Ai Shengping scolded, "Do you realize you’re forcing people? Su Xiaocai doesn’t owe you anything."

"Then lend me a bodyguard, I need to leave."

"Mr. Zhang, are you in such a hurry to leave because you know some insider info?" Su Xiaocai still looked relaxed, but her question was sharp.

Professor Zhang: "Don’t accuse me falsely, I know no insider information."

"It better be so. If worried about safety, don’t fear, professors; if we die, we die together, at most with different appearances. Why can’t you accept that, dragging others into risk; what if we survive and you die, wouldn’t that be unlucky."

This girl, did she just eat a cactus, full of spines.

"What if you all die, and I survive!" Professor Zhang blurted out, everyone looked at him in unison.

Even more unlucky, right.

He opened his mouth, unable to explain that the words were unintentional, just impulsive.

His gaze met Ai Shengping’s cold eyes, and he shut his mouth completely.

Xing Miao and Xiao Wanzi exchanged glances, Su Xiaocai really had guts, daring to argue with Professor Zhang.

He was a little tyrant in academia, with strong backing, always looking down on people with his head held high due to his superior knowledge.

Others had bad tempers due to difficult problems or encountering stupid students, dumb subordinates.

Professor Zhang cursed people regardless of occasion or others’ feelings, he cursed when he felt like it.

Even as the chief engineer, Professor Ai had to give him some respect.

Seeing this, others suddenly realized why Su Xiaocai was so sought after; she had a general’s demeanor, providing a sense of security.

Ahem, the key was she was tough enough to stand up against Professor Zhang; professors tired of Professor Zhang’s bad temper were inwardly delighted, "You have a day too." They’d remember that indignant look for a lifetime.

But truthfully, they were somewhat worried about the safety level here, feeling uneasy.

Some professors offered sound advice, asking Su Xiaocai if they could collectively move somewhere else, as the surroundings were too open, easily becoming a target.

Others questioned the protection measures here.

Protection measures counted as a trump card, in a situation with uncertain friend or foe, Su Xiaocai naturally wouldn’t disclose them.

"With Insect Men attacking, do you think less people or more people would be safer?"

The rumbling explosions and continuous crossfire were only faintly audible inside due to excellent soundproofing.

"Less people."

Insect Men liked places with more people, and here was open on all sides, they could see if Insect Men were coming from any direction, allowing better interception of attack.

There were advantages and disadvantages, professors had to stay at Su Xiaocai’s place, awaiting further developments in the battle.

Xing Miao watched the fierce battle outside, "Caicai, can I go out and fight?"

"Go ahead, if you can’t hold, call for backup." Call for backup naturally meant calling for the ace, including Su Xiaocai herself.
