The design modification was complete, and Little Taotie happily handed it to Head Grandpa.
Shen Cang took the design.
Little Taotie rambled on the side, "It can become a white glove, can produce sharp claws, can transform into a shield, can spit silk..."
He looked down to meet the little girl’s sparkling big eyes, and said seriously, "You’ve watched too many sci-fi movies, haven’t you?"
Little Taotie tilted her head, her gaze slightly dimmed, "Can’t it be done? But Hua Jinyan said that with current technology, it’s possible... If it can’t be done, then forget it..."
Watching the twinkling stars in those bright eyes slowly extinguish, becoming gradually dim, Shen Cang pursed his lips, "It’s not that it can’t be done."
Those saddened eyes instantly filled with dazzling stars again as she said in a soft baby voice, "Really?"
Shen Cang’s gaze returned to the design, pondered for a long time, and answered cautiously, "We can try."
"In three months, whether it succeeds or fails, there will be an answer."
Hearing this, Little Taotie brought her hands together and murmured, "It must succeed, it must succeed..."
The first important exam of elementary school arrived as scheduled, and Little Taotie looked at the empty seat beside her with a tilted head.
The exam was divided into two classrooms, and her deskmate was assigned to the other classroom.
She felt a bit uncomfortable without Hua Jinyan by her side.
The exam coverage included: Chinese, Mathematics, Geography, and two interest classes. Students could choose a foreign language, not limited to English.
Little Taotie had enrolled in several interest classes, and now her best grades were in calligraphy and knitting, so she chose these two subjects.
Whereas Hua Jinyan had chosen calligraphy and painting.
Besides learning English, Little Taotie had also started studying E-ros recently, although she had only learned a bit of the basics and couldn’t even form a complete sentence, it was already impressive for a first grader.
The reason she began learning E-ros was that she encountered a E-ros Ghost while working on a case in the Special Department and faced a language barrier. She saw Team Leader Mo Haihao speaking fluently to the Ghost and at that moment, the little girl’s eyes lit up with admiration, thinking the team leader was so amazing!
Latter she found out that the team leader could speak fourteen languages!
She also inquired about the deputy team leader’s language skills and learned that Deputy Leader Jiang Si could speak twelve languages!
Then, she asked about all the team leaders’ language proficiency and discovered each of them knew more than ten languages as a base requirement.
It seemed being a team leader was harder than she thought...
As the saying goes, "A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general isn’t a good soldier," Little Taotie had her little wish too, to one day become a team leader, leading her "brothers" on cases, which would be so cool!
The little dreamer Zaizai set a small goal for herself, to learn ten languages and then become a team leader!
Mo Haihao was still unaware that Xiao Zaizai was already eyeing his position.
After the exam ended, Little Taotie was playing with an eraser on the table.
The eraser was square, with each side bearing a letter that corresponded to an option for each question.
When she encountered a question she couldn’t answer, she would throw the dice, choosing A if it landed on A, choosing C if it landed on C.
This was given to her by her big brother before she left home.
Big brother had mysteriously placed it in her palm and declared, "It’s an ’exam artifact’!"
Little Taotie didn’t need it because she knew the answer to every question.
After finishing his exam in the other classroom, Hua Jinyan came back to see Little Taotie playing with the dice, looking relaxed.
"It seems like you did well on the test?"
Little Taotie raised her head, grinning, "I’m sure I can score a hundred percent!"
