A Young Woman's Heart

She is most interested in mechanical things, and every time she goes to the supermarket, she spends the most time standing in front of toys such as remote control airplanes and remote control cars.

“No problem.” Mr. Xue readily took out the remote-controlled spider.

The entire spider is made of metal and is about the size of a basketball. Although it uses relatively lightweight metal, it still feels heavy when you pick it up.

"This is the remote control." Mr. Xue handed over the remote control as he went.

The remote control was clearly homemade; it looked quite rough, as if it was made with the mindset of "it just needs to work."

The metal spider has many exposed wires, but this does not affect its movement.

"Is this the switch?" Mo Xueyao asked, pointing to a button on the remote control.

"Correct."

Making the mechanical spider move is very simple, just like controlling a remote-controlled car.

But the joy it brings is incomparable to that of ordinary remote-controlled cars.

"It also has a climbing function. For example, when you climb up the steps of this podium, you can press that button to control the height of your front legs. Press it again to lower them, allowing the front spider legs to pull the back half of your body up," Mr. Xue explained from the side.

"Oh, I see! Wow, this is amazing!" Mo Xueyao couldn't stop playing with it, controlling the mechanical spider to dart around the classroom.

"How long did it take to make this?" Li Wanyan was also somewhat impressed.

"It took almost a year in total. We finally managed to assemble it completely in the last few days after solving all the problems," Mr. Xue said, rarely boasting. "Don't be fooled by how simple it looks when it moves; it's much more complicated than wheels."

"How complicated is it?" Mo Xueyao vaguely knew how difficult it was, but still asked with great interest.

Even if she hadn't asked, Mr. Xue would have told her himself.

"Making the wheels move is simple; all you need is some gears to make them turn. But the mechanical spider has so many legs, and their movements are different when moving forward, backward, and left or right. All of these need to be programmed in detail. In addition, we also need to program the reactions when encountering obstacles, the actions when climbing, and ensure that the eight mechanical legs coordinate without conflict..."

That sounds like a real headache.

"So, there's a miniature computer inside?" Mo Xueyao thought of this.

"It's not really a complete computer, just much more intelligent than a regular remote-controlled car." Mr. Xue scratched his head. "The problem now is that the remote control range is too short. If we can find a way to solve the distance problem, then we can install a miniature camera on its head to record what it sees. If the network is developed enough, it might even be possible to achieve real-time transmission."

"That's amazing..." Mo Xueyao exclaimed. "Mr. Xue, would you consider making a humanoid remote-controlled machine?"

"Humanoid?" He rubbed his hair and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I originally wanted to make a humanoid as well, but the balance of a humanoid is too difficult to master. It's not easy to just stand still, let alone walk without falling over."

"A humanoid figure... is it really that difficult?" Mo Xueyao said with some regret. "But if you really manage to make one, you must show it to me!"

“Of course.” Mr. Xue smiled. “There are still some areas that need improvement for this mechanical spider, such as the battery capacity. Although I’m using two 9V batteries, they don’t last very long. You’ve only been playing with it for about ten minutes, and the battery is already down by a quarter.”

"This problem is probably even more difficult to solve..."

"Yes, but that's part of the fun," Mr. Xue said with a smile.

"You're so patient. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to keep going," Mo Xueyao said admiringly.

"Hehe! It's alright, it's just a hobby." He chuckled, took the remote control Mo Xueyao handed him back, and started fiddling with it himself.

Who would have thought that Mr. Xue, who is usually so low-key, would actually have times when he wants to 'show off'?

However, this is different from the usual kind of showing off. His "showing off" is actually just a way of sharing the joy of finally completing the task with others.

Just like a child, when they discover an interesting toy, they can't wait to share it with their friends.

Mr. Xue, who is usually mature and composed, has the heart of a child.

The boys and girls who came in afterwards couldn't help but come over to take a look.

Boys, in particular, couldn't resist the allure of this machine, and everyone wanted to try it out.

Even Huang Yuxi, who is least like a boy, curiously played with it for a while.

As a result, the mechanical spider ran out of batteries in no time and could no longer move.

"By the way, Huang Yuxi, these school uniforms on the table are what your teacher put there for you. You can wear them to school starting tomorrow," Mo Xueyao said to Huang Yuxi, who hadn't even put her schoolbag down because she was playing with the mechanical spider.

Huang Yuxi nodded gently and eagerly unpacked a set of winter school uniforms.

It was a boys' school uniform.

No, boys' school uniforms are the most normal.

I was just a little disappointed.

Whether it was a side effect of becoming a girl or the influence of Hua Yinyin, Mo Xueyao developed a certain wicked sense of humor. She now particularly enjoys seeing handsome boys dressed as girls to find some solace.

……

Chapter 82 Hua Yinyin is vomiting blood!

Hua Yinyin is acting very strangely today.

She walked into the classroom expressionlessly, without bothering any of the girls.

He didn't even greet Mo Xueyao.

This unusual behavior puzzled Mo Xueyao, so she poked Hua Yinyin's back, but the latter still didn't react.

"Strange, has Hua Yinyin been possessed?" Li Hongran, who had come over to borrow Mo Xueyao's homework to copy, asked in confusion.

"Who knows? Maybe she's sick?" Mo Xueyao shrugged and then let out a painful groan.

"Ugh..."

"What's wrong?" Her deskmate, Mo Zhuyou, reached out and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever. Where does it hurt?"

"Hoo..." Hua Yinyin looked at Mo Xueyao with dazed eyes, staggered to her side, and then collapsed into her arms.

"What's wrong?" Mo Xueyao asked worriedly.

"Pfft!" The next second, Hua Yinyin spat out a small mouthful of blood, which slowly flowed down the corner of her mouth, dripped through the gap between Mo Xueyao's legs, and fell to the ground.

Mo Xueyao was completely terrified.

Most people have never seen such a scene before.

How can a perfectly healthy person suddenly vomit blood?

You know, vomiting blood is a very serious matter!

You won't vomit blood if you have a cold, fever, or even appendicitis.

In the TV series, martial arts masters suffer internal injuries, which is why this happens. Could it be that Hua Yinyin's internal organs were injured in some accident?

Li Hongran, who was standing to the side, didn't even bother copying homework. She immediately put down her pen and ran out of the classroom: "I'm going to call the medical staff!"

"I'm going to find the homeroom teacher." Li Wanyan pushed up her glasses and quickened her pace towards the classroom door.

Seeing that everyone was somewhat panicked, Hua Yinyin slowly raised her hand and shouted, "Stop—! I was just kidding!"

"what?"

"Pfft, haha—were you scared?" Hua Yinyin, who had been listless just moments before, suddenly jumped up energetically, took a blood pack out of her mouth and threw it into the trash can, then rinsed her mouth several times with mineral water. "It's fake, just a prop~"

"Hey, are you an idiot?" Mo Xueyao said disdainfully. "Everyone was worried about you, don't you even know the story of the boy who cried wolf?"

"Oh dear, I just thought it would be fun so I wanted to try it. It seems that Yaoyao still cares about me. I'm so touched!"

"I will never care about you again next time..." Mo Xueyao pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling tricked.

"Come on, don't be angry. Life needs some spice sometimes!"

"Where did you buy Yinyin?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked, tucking a slightly yellow hair behind her ear.

Hua Yinyin proudly crossed her arms and shook herself: "I bought them at the school gate. They're toys called 'Prank Experts,' one yuan each."

As she spoke, she took out five or six boxes, each about the size of a matchbox, from her pocket.

A small box of toys like this selling for one yuan was considered quite expensive in those days.

Each small box is decorated with rich pictures and text descriptions, and each box contains completely different prank toys.

Mo Xueyao brought over a box with pictures on it explaining how to use this prank prop and its effects.

"Fake chewing gum, pretending to get chewing gum for someone, and then when the other person actually takes out the chewing gum, a cockroach appears..." She raised an eyebrow, took out the chewing gum, and to be honest, the chewing gum box was quite realistic.

However, once you know the effect of the prank, you won't be scared at all. If you look closely, you'll find that the cockroach is very crudely made and has obvious plastic marks.

Although many people already knew that Hua Yinyin had bought the prank toys, surprisingly, quite a few people still fell for her pranks over the next half day.

For example, lending someone a ballpoint pen that causes an electric shock if touched, using a small prop to simulate a fart sound, and then framing the person for it...

This has made many people want to buy some prank toys to prank others.

But now that everyone knows, can you still prank others?

The fun of pranks lies in not knowing the truth.

However, Mo Xueyao wasn't interested in pranks, mainly because she felt that doing such things was wrong. Even if it didn't hurt others, it would still have a negative impact on them.

In severe cases, it may even affect relationships.

Even if students from the three grades were to eat separately, there wouldn't be enough seats in the school cafeteria. After all, some students might not have finished eating by the time the senior high school students arrived.

Therefore, the cafeteria has provided a new convenient service: you can take your food to go.

Today, Mo Xueyao and her friends tried taking the food away.

They use relatively environmentally friendly paper boxes, which look like individual paper lunch boxes that you probably can't buy on the market.

The meal was not served in the classroom, but in a relatively quiet club activity room.

The food at Yukong High School is very good, but some people still find it unpalatable or say they're tired of it.

Mo Xueyao wasn't so fussy. She thought every dish was delicious, and with so many different kinds of food, changing every day, how could she possibly get tired of it?

"What dish did Xiaoyao order?" Mo Xiaoxiao sat at the table in the club activity room and opened her lunchbox. "I ordered Mapo Tofu."

"My lunchbox has stir-fried beef with green peppers, stir-fried cauliflower with potatoes, and a small sausage, served with cherry tomatoes," Mo Xueyao replied while opening her lunchbox.

"Can I trade the pork belly and Xiaoyao for some beef tenderloin?"

"Sure, how many pieces do you want?"

"I'll trade you four pieces of pork belly for three pieces of beef tenderloin."
