Lu Ming shouted loudly at Lin Hua in the sky, "Sister Lin Hua, am I really that unimportant in your heart? You can't even endure that little bit of discomfort."
Flying in the air, Lin Hua looked at the people fleeing all around her, and then at Lu Ming, who was provoking her from the courtyard.
She gritted her silver teeth and endured the discomfort to fly down in front of Lu Ming. "How long does the time you set last?" Lin Hua asked uncomfortably.
Lin Hua looked at Lu Ming with a darkened face. "Is there a way to eliminate it faster!"
"There is!" Saying that, Lu Ming took the Ray Gun, switched it to cancellation mode, and fired a shot at himself as well.
Soon, Lin Hua could no longer feel that unpleasant sensation.
Having recovered, Lin Hua looked at Lu Ming coldly. "Little Lu Ming, were you having a lot of fun just now!" Lin Hua said through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, Lu Ming tried to run away in a panic, but he was grabbed by Lin Hua.
Holding Lu Ming, Lin Hua gave his bottom a few hard smacks, finally venting her frustration.
Lu Ming covered his bottom, broke free from Lin Hua in shame, and ran back to his room.
Lin Hua smiled at the sight. "That's what you get for playing tricks on me just now!" Lin Hua let out a 'hmpf'.
The bashful Lu Ming returned to his room, flopped onto the bed for a while, and then burst out laughing with a 'pfft'.
"I have the soul of an adult, yet I'm sulking like a child. Perhaps I've been a child for so long that I've forgotten how old I actually am."
Lu Ming shook his head and smiled. "But being a child is great! At least there aren't so many worries!"
Lu Ming stopped overthinking and entered the Manufacturing Space.
After entering the Manufacturing Space, Lu Ming didn't know what to do. There were still three gadget blueprints in his mind that hadn't been manufactured.
Among these three plans, he didn't know if it would be better to make the all-purpose printer or the arbitrary shuttle cube.
He was struggling with the choice. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided! He would create a Silicon-based lifeform, a Cat-type childcare growth robot.
Lu Ming got straight to work, first manufacturing the artificial mechanical ovary within the space.
Under the influence of Lu Ming's ability, parts, circuits, and pipes were manufactured one by one.
As time passed, a massive artificial mechanical ovary, ten meters tall and fifteen meters wide, was created.
Lu Ming looked at the massive creation before him and its miraculous power. "This machine is like a god, capable of creating entirely new life!" Lu Ming watched excitedly.
But as the excitement faded, Lu Ming returned to his lazy state, went back to his room, and fell fast asleep.
The next day, Lu Ming arrived at school early and sat at his desk listlessly.
He was wondering what kind of cat's blood genes to use to manufacture the cat-type infant robot.
The shy Shizuka, sitting beside him, noticed the listless Lu Ming. She plucked up her courage and poked the still-contemplating Lu Ming with a finger.
Lu Ming snapped out of it and looked at the cute girl beside him in confusion. "What's wrong, Shizuka?"
Shizuka puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish. "I should be the one asking you that! I've seen you looking preoccupied since early this morning. What exactly happened?"
Lu Ming scratched his head awkwardly. "I want to raise a cat, but I don't know which kind is better."
"Raise a cat?" Shizuka's eyes lit up, her puffed-out cheeks instantly relaxing as her tone became excited.
"Lu Ming, what kind of cat do you like? Something fluffy or something small and delicate?"
Driven by Shizuka's enthusiasm, Lu Ming's muddled thoughts cleared up a bit. He followed her lead and said, "I haven't really decided yet, so I'm conflicted. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Of course!" Shizuka immediately began counting on her fingers. "Orange cats are very cute, all round and plump, and they have gentle temperaments. They just eat a lot and easily turn into a ball."
"Then there are British Shorthairs. Their fur is short and feels very comfortable to touch. Their eyes are big and round, making them look especially well-behaved."
"Ragdolls are also super beautiful, with long fur like little fairies, but they're a bit of a hassle to groom."
Shizuka spoke with great expertise, and Lu Ming listened intently, though he had already made up his mind in his heart.
"Shizuka, have you heard of Calico Cats?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.
Shizuka tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands. "I know! In the eyes of other cats, Calico Cats are the most beautiful. Do you want to raise one?"
Lu Ming nodded. "I've decided, I'll raise a Calico Cat."
Shizuka thought for a bit. "Oh right! There's a very pretty Calico Cat at the park! Its patterns are gorgeous, its eyes are as beautiful as amber, and it's very clingy!"
"Shizuka! Let's bring some food and go find it this weekend. If it's willing to be adopted by me, I'll take it home."
"If it's not willing, then I'll just have to buy one from a pet shop!" Lu Ming said impatiently.
"Then it's a promise. We'll go to the park together this weekend to take a look," Shizuka said seriously.
Just then, the school bell rang! The teacher arrived at the podium and started calling the roll.
Just as the roll call finished, Nobita ran to the classroom door, panting heavily.
Seeing Nobita, the teacher said with a look of disappointment, "Nobita Nobi! Why are you late again!"
But Nobita was panting so hard he couldn't even speak, so the teacher had no choice but to let him return to his seat.
After class, Lu Ming and the others went out to the hallway. Gian looked at Nobita, somewhat speechless, and said, "Why are you always late!"
"Doing everything at a snail's pace—that's just Nobita for you," Suneo said with a grin.
Shizuka said with some concern, "Nobita, you just need to wake up a little earlier to get to school."
Lu Ming also looked at Nobita, but he said nothing, as he knew Nobita all too well.
Nobita sighed. "I know that too, Shizuka! But I just can't get up."
Just then, a chubby classmate next to Lu Ming bragged, "I've never been late!"
The others looked at him in confusion, but he simply pointed calmly at a house next to the school.
"Because! My house is right next to the school, so I'm never late."
They all crowded by the window to look at the house next to the school.
Nobita looked at the house next to the school with a face full of envy. "I'm so jealous of you! If I could live that close, I wouldn't have to worry about being late at all!"
During class, Nobita's mind was completely filled with thoughts of moving next to the school.
After school, Nobita went home and performed a dogeza kneel before Nobita's Mother.
"Mother! I have something I want to ask of you," Nobita said with a serious face.
Nobita's Mother looked at Nobita with some confusion. "Why are you suddenly being so respectful!"
"Mother! Can we move next to the school? That way, I'll never be late again!" Nobita said earnestly.
Once she realized what he was saying, Nobita's Mother looked at Nobita with some anger. "That's so selfish of you to say! Can't you just wake up earlier!"
After being scolded by Nobita's Mother, Nobita returned to his room in a gloom.
