Synopsis

Yu You walks into the Alliance’s Mecha Department clutching her acceptance letter from the pharmacy program, only to discover that her dream has been reassigned. (No CP + strong female lead + ensemble cast + comedy + passion + sci-fi) Her roommate, Qian Duoduo, pilots a top-of-the-line mecha but is so stingy she uses expired maintenance oil. “Girl, this bottle of expired maintenance oil saves three Gante coins!” Qian Duoduo’s eyes light up. In her first mecha practical class, Yu You uses her mental power to modify a mecha engine into energy-saving mode. “Engine output down 50%, energy consumption down 70%!” her instructor cries in dismay. Yu You, however, is thrilled. “Teacher, how much energy will this save us each month?” At the interstellar championship, they cobble together a mecha from scrap and unexpectedly make it to the finals. Their opponents rage, “They’re using our money to beat us?” To earn endorsement fees, Yu You presses her homemade “square-dance” button, and the entire competition arena breaks into an eerily catchy dance. Then the bill arrives after the competition: square-dance licensing fees, venue damage fees, emotional distress compensation… Yu You looks at the astronomical debt and nearly cries. “We won. Why are we bankrupt again?”

The reason why I gave four stars is because the author has started school. I think emmm it may not end as quickly as I thought. The writing is very good. Apart from the fact that the author was anxious to finish the book after school started, I think it is highly recommended. It's very good. Everyone's character setting is very full, but I still hope they can pay off their debts [crying] [crying] [crying]. It's just my selfishness. I think the ending is not worthy of their wandering.

Starting from the time when the heroine enters the mecha system, the plot of saving money unfolds naturally, including getting along with roommates, practical classes, and interstellar competitions. Every part is very life-like. There is no fancy rhetoric, but you can feel the interest of the story. The reversal of bankruptcy is not abrupt. It is a very good general book.

The setting is relatively fresh, the pharmacist turns to the mecha system, and the heroine and her roommate save money on small details every day, such as using expired maintenance oil and changing the engine to save power. It is very real and interesting to read. The plot of the interstellar competition is tense, and the reversal of bankruptcy is also unexpected. Keep following the development.
