Upon hearing that Wang Shuai had kicked her, Roo One emitted a disdainful electronic sound, "A man hitting a woman, that’s tasteless."
"I didn’t an to, it was about here," Wang Shuai indicated, pointing vaguely towards the spot on Zhang Yiyi’s body where she had been kicked.
Roo One then scanned Zhang Yiyi’s spine again, afterwards pricking her finger to draw so blood.
"Is she okay? Why would a living person turn out like this?" asked Wang Shuai, one of the more experienced students, who had never seen anyone practice to the point of ending up like Zhang Yiyi.
After completing its examination, Roo One took a bottle of Farr Spring water from the personal shelf and tossed it to Wang Shuai.
"I’m not thirsty, save her first," Wang Shuai said impatiently.
"It’s not for you to drink. You feed it to her. You’re the one who hurt her, so the cost is on you," Roo One stated, and then it pulled out its cable port, preparing to connect to the central computer.
"Is her injury serious? Do you need to contact the central computer? Damn it, it’s all my fault. I didn’t see clearly and just kicked her," Wang Shuai said, knowing full well the power of his kick, enough to bend a steel bar straight.
Generally speaking, the Roo robots at each supply center can handle external wounds and minor fractures, and they would not contact the central computer unless it was an internal injury or a severe one.
"Report, a mid-level Mutated Beastman has been found in Zone C, registration and docuntation required. Preliminary analysis indicates a Lizard Man with mid-level beastification capacity. The report is complete." After reporting, Roo One continued to rearrange the items on the shelf, without taking any rescue asures.
"Roo One, co up with sothing, her complexion looks even worse," Wang Shuai fed Zhang Yiyi so water, and rather than improving, her complexion beca even more troubling.
"For a prettier complexion, just place her on that light-colored table, then her face will look better," Roo One quipped, rarely seeing Wang Shuai so flustered.
Skeptical, Wang Shuai shifted her position and indeed, her complexion soon improved.
"Did you hear my report? Among Superpower Users, there is a category called Beastified People. This new student is a Lizard Man. She may have encountered so ergency and automatically triggered the potential within her body for mimicry and color change. She doesn’t yet know how to use this ability. This must be her first ti activating it; that’s why she used too much Qi. A few more training sessions, and it won’t be like this," explained Roo One calmly.
There were also a few Beastman Superpower Users at the North Campus, but none as young as Zhang Yiyi and certainly none that had learned the "Chaleon" skill completely clueless.
Considering her great potential and the purity of her lineage, Roo One reassessed Zhang Yiyi. After reporting to the administration through the central computer, it considered offering her specialized training later.
"Never mind whether she’s a Lizard Man, Roo One, do you need to check her spine again? I’m sure when I kicked her, I heard the sound of bones breaking," Wang Shuai worriedly thought he might have caused a lifelong paralysis for soone.
After drinking so water, Zhang Yiyi had woken up and happen to hear what Wang Shuai said.
"It hurts, I think my spine must be broken," said Zhang Yiyi, her Baozi face back to its normal color, and her hair transitioning from leaf green to black. She spoke with a cry, pointing at her back.
"..." Roo One stayed silent, seemingly in thought.
"Where does it hurt?" Wang Shuai hurried over, but didn’t dare to co close to check; he could only stand there helplessly.
"My spine is broken; you have to compensate for dical expenses, ntal damages, nutritional costs, and loss of inco," Zhang Yiyi earnestly said, spilling out a long string of demands.
"..." Roo One continued its silence. Roo One thought to itself, it was a robot with a sense of justice; so lies, it was better not to puncture.

Xiao Xian realized she had made a wrong decision; she shouldn’t have veered off the main road of Zone C.
Once off the main road of Zone C, the further she walked, the more the rarely traversed side roads got swallowed by the wind and sand, erasing all traces, and the path beca increasingly difficult.
Walking along the periter, the scattered buildings of Zone C also disappeared from view. To prevent circling the sa spot, she made marks on every plant she encountered.
She had never been to this nearby area before, and she had already passed the sa cactus three tis.
The night sky was cloudless, with the sun’s position now swapped for the moon’s, and the temperature on the desert surface had already dropped, continuing to plumt.
"It seems like I’ve entered the middle zone," said Xiao Xian. Zone C was divided into three distinct areas: the residential zone, the middle zone, and the forbidden zone.
The simplest way to discern these areas was by looking at the terrain.
The terrain in the residential area was very flat, and with Xiao Xian’s vision, she could see miles away.
But now, the area she was traveling in began to show various sand ravines and occasionally valleys and depressions.
Strange sandy ridges made you slip back a large step after a few small ones, and with every few steps, you had to struggle to pull your feet from the sand whirlpools. Both Qi and ti were slowly being worn away.
Several four-legged sand lizards scurried across the sand. Further ahead, the clusters of cacti and cattails had disappeared, and several white skulls—uncertain whether beast or human bones—were subrged in the sand, as if recounting the untold brutality of the desert.
"I can’t go on, if I do, I’m afraid I’ll enter the forbidden zone. I have to turn back," Xiao Xian felt thirsty. She looked up at the sky, hoping to find any star that could help her identify direction.
A gleam of light flashed in front of her, reviving the wilted spirit of Xiao Xian. She steadied herself and quickly walked towards it.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation ticket, monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
