Dwarf In The Future

Qiao Zhiya is a hybrid. Before he was born, his elf father wanted him to have a strong physique unique to dwarfs; while his dwarf mother wanted him to have a tall body unique to elves. And then he ...

Chapter 32 Star Network (1)

Georgia said he was not sleepy, but his body was very honest and released the signal of fatigue as soon as he touched the bed. He fell asleep in the quilt after a while. He slept very deeply and woke up dazedly until Chu Rong came in and called him for lunch.

"Go wash up first."

Chu Rong picked him up and put him in the bathroom.

He was stunned for a while before he finally woke up. He looked up at the time and found that it was already past eleven in the morning. Remembering that he had to report to school today, he was shocked. He rubbed his face to cheer himself up and washed up quickly.

As soon as he finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, he was grabbed by Chu Rong again. Without waiting for him to protest, Chu Rong strode into the restaurant and put him at the dining table.

"Let's eat." Chu Rong asked A1 to pour him a bowl of soup and sat next to him.

Chu Yan, who was sitting opposite him, retracted his sneaky gaze and greeted him warmly: "Qiao, good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon, Xiaoyan." Georgia smiled at him and was about to say something when a piece of bread handed to her by Chu Rong blocked her face.

"Eat well." Uncle Chu frowned and ordered, giving Chu Yan a cold look.

Chu Yan, who had been frozen for the whole morning, said: “…” How can I live like this?

With the parents watching, the meal was very quiet. After the meal, the three of them got on the hovercraft and headed for school.

"Can I speak now?" Chu Yan asked deliberately after sitting down.

Chu Rong set up the driving program of the hovercraft, turned his head to look at him coldly, nodded reservedly, and reached out to rub Georgia's hair, pressing down a strand of hair that was sticking up behind his head.

Georgia, who was used to being rubbed, turned her head to look at him and smiled with pursed lips.

Chu Rong's expression softened visibly, and he smoothed down his hair again, reprimanding him, "You are so careless that you can't even comb your hair properly."

Georgia blushed and quickly raised her hand to touch her hair. Then, when she touched the sticky hair, she tightened her face in shame.

Having his seat taken away, Chu Rong moved his hand to his ear, pinched the tip of his ear which was slowly turning red, and sneered: "You are useless. How can a boy blush all the time?"

Georgia then became even more embarrassed.

Oh my.

Chu Yan inexplicably felt that the atmosphere in the car was a bit disgusting. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the goose bumps on his arms. He used the communicator to open the school client, put out the map of Campus B and placed it between them.

The warm atmosphere was broken in an instant, and Chu Rong looked at him coldly again.

Chu Yan pretended not to see it, pulled Georgia and pointed at the map and said, "Joe, look here, this is where you will go to school and live in the future. Research and development subjects have more professional courses and less overlap with other subjects, so they are all placed in Campus B. The area behind the mountain is the accommodation area, and the buildings in the middle are teaching buildings and laboratory buildings. The cafeteria is here."

Georgia's attention was immediately drawn to him. She concentrated on memorizing the location and function of each building according to his introduction, nodding from time to time.

"Campus C is here. This is where you take the Mecha Manufacturing course. It's also where the students who major in Mecha Manufacturing gather together. There are many people studying this, so it occupies a separate campus." Chu Yan flipped out a map and showed it to him, pointing to the largest building in the middle of Campus C. "This is the experimental building for the Mecha Manufacturing course. After learning the theoretical knowledge, everyone will go here to practice. The school will provide the corresponding materials and tools, but the materials are fixed in quantity. If you waste them, you have to pay for them yourself."

Georgia nodded to show that she understood and glanced at Chu Rong.

He had thought about giving the money from selling the giant sword back to Chu Rong, but Chu Rong refused and gave him some pocket money, saying that he could use it to buy various jades and stones, and that he would give him money every month as medical expenses. Adding the patent money that Mr. Ren had transferred to him, he was now considered a small rich man.

Chu Rong noticed his gaze and glanced at him sideways, thinking that he was worried about the materials. He raised his hand and stroked his hair, saying, "If you want to learn, you must learn to the best of your ability. Don't worry about wasting money. If you don't have enough money, just send a communication back."

"No, no, it's enough, no need to give me more." Georgia was stunned and quickly waved her hands to indicate that it was not necessary. Her face turned red again - the feeling of getting pocket money from parents was really embarrassing.

Chu Yan: "..." Ah! So jealous! He is now a poor child with no pocket money!

Chu Rong didn't comment, then turned his head to look at Chu Yan with disgust - the comparison made it even worse, what a prodigal child.

"...This is Campus A." Chu Yan decisively pretended to be stupid, and took out another map, pointing to the dormitory area, and said, "I live here. You can come and play with me when you are free. Of course, if someone bullies you, you can also come and find me. The various campuses are separated by training grounds and activity fields. They are not too far away. After you enter the school, you can buy a campus vehicle, which will make it more convenient to travel."

"Pick the one with the best safety performance." Chu Rong frowned and instructed.

Georgia nodded obediently and made note of this.

Chu Yan, who was forced to be "roughly raised" when he first entered the school, felt that he was about to cry with jealousy. Although his eldest brother also spent money on him without principles, and his second brother also spent money on him with principles, he had never felt this kind of feeling of being spoiled by his second brother! Never!

They are both seventeen years old, why is there such a big difference? So, so, big! In fact, he is the one who was picked up!

With a lot of complaints in his heart, Chu Yan introduced all the daily facilities such as the D campus where logistics subjects were located, the comprehensive E campus where other more remote subjects were concentrated, and the comprehensive square for students to relax and compete, so that Georgia could have a general impression of the campus environment.

After they finished talking, they just arrived at the school and parked the car at the south gate which was closer to Campus B.

"I won't take you in." Chu Rong frowned slightly and said with a cold face, "You must come back on the first weekend. Call me if you have anything."

"Yeah." Georgia nodded, leaned over and hugged him. The excitement of going to school was replaced by the depression of temporary separation. She said a little listlessly: "I will miss you. You should pay attention to rest. After the pollution value drops, your mental strength needs to stabilize for a while. Try to use it as little as possible."

Chu Rong did not pull him away this time, letting him hold her. He raised his hand and patted his back, saying, "I know you should pay attention to yourself. Don't keep crying like a loser."

Georgia felt embarrassed by what he said, so she let go of him and whispered back, "I don't cry all the time..."

Chu Yan said that the scene was totally unbearable to watch, so he got out of the car and hid away.

Chu Rong glanced at the car door opened by Chu Yan, reached out and took out a small box from the space button and stuffed it into Georgia's hand, waved his hand, and said, "Go, don't delay the report."

After the door opened, the students passing by would look into the car from time to time. Georgia noticed this and didn't dare to delay any longer. She swallowed the words to ask what was in the box, nodded, got out of the car holding the box, and stood next to Chu Yan.

Chu Rong, who wanted to watch him enter the school gate, paused when he saw this, closed the car door, and left first.

"Finally he left." Chu Yan rolled his eyes, looked at the box in Georgia's hand, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

“I don’t know.” Georgia withdrew her reluctant gaze, lowered her head and opened the box. She was stunned when she saw a whole row of mental simulators filled with mental power. Her heart felt soft and sour, and she whispered, “I’ve been told that we should use less mental power as much as possible after the pollution value drops…”

Chu Yan was also surprised by his second brother's rare thoughtfulness. Hearing his second brother's voice was a little muffled, he quickly stretched out his arm to put on his shoulders, and led him to the school while deliberately raising his voice and said, "Come on, I'll take you to report first. After we finish the formalities, we can go shopping. There are many things to do today."

Being interrupted like this, the little emotion in her heart immediately dissipated. Georgia put away the small box, looked towards the spacious gate of the junior college, and the light of expectation rose in her eyes again.

Georgia went to the school registration office and completed the admission procedures. He received a new student card and simultaneously updated the student client in his communicator. The client was bound to his student number at the junior college. From then on, all his activities on campus, including entering and leaving the dormitory, must be conducted through the student client in the communicator. This client is considered his pass on campus.

"Our school's client is different from other schools'. It has a little connection with the military. You should pay more attention when using it. Although the military will not deliberately monitor a student's schedule, if you make a big mistake, the military will retrieve your student client and check your movement trajectory on campus." Chu Yan said casually while taking the scooter out. Seeing that he looked nervous, he hurriedly comforted him, "But this is just in case. Usually everyone attends classes honestly on campus, so they can't make mistakes even if they want to. And this can be regarded as a kind of protection for students by the military. At least this client will never be in danger of being invaded by viruses. If you encounter danger outside the school, you can also use this client to ask for help, and the military will respond immediately."

Georgia thought about it and felt relieved. He was here to study, so as long as he didn't mess around, he wouldn't make any mistakes that would alert the military.

After closing the student client, he got on the mobility scooter that Chu Yan had brought out, and with eyes full of curiosity he reached out to touch the scooter that looked like a square box.

The car is not big, only enough for two people, with a door on each side. The windows are transparent, making it easy to observe the situation outside. Compared with a hover car, the speed is not too fast, but it is very stable and it moves on the ground.

"This is a protective shield above our heads. If you want to enjoy the breeze, you can put it away." Chu Yan pressed a button to roll up the car window, pointed at various buildings along the road, and said, "There is a navigation system on the client, and there are electronic guide signs at various intersections on campus. Don't be afraid of getting lost. If you can't find the direction, just check the navigation system or ask the electronic guide signs."

Georgia recognized the various signposts on the roadside and nodded.

"This car has a speed limit and cannot be driven fast, but it is enough for use on campus. Remember to charge it regularly. It runs on electricity, so you should also prepare a few spare battery boxes in case of emergency." Chu Yan thought about it and reminded again.

Georgia continued to nod, then smiled at him gratefully - Chu Yan looked unreliable, but he was actually a very thoughtful and considerate person.

The breeze blew towards him, lifting his bangs. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his eyebrows and mouth, giving this handsome face a touch of innocence and gentleness, tempting him to approach.

Wow… shit…

Chu Yan quickly turned his head and looked forward, his face felt a little hot, but his heart felt a little cold - he probably understood why his second brother was so good to Qiao. Someone like this who was so beautiful but didn't realize it was so damn destructive!

Before, the other party always lowered her head and looked a little reserved, with her forehead blocked by bangs, and he didn't even realize that the other party was so beautiful! Fortunately, he liked a girl, otherwise he would be finished!

But there are many people who like men in this school! Just based on Qiao's face and this cute and likable personality, it is estimated that there are a lot of suitors attracted! Can the second brother, a bad-tempered old man, compete with the young and tender teenagers here!

It’s over, it’s over. My second brother is not going to suffer a broken heart, right?

"What's wrong with you?" Georgia saw him suddenly turn his head to look forward, and his face was shocked. She leaned over and asked worriedly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Yan came back to his senses, quickly raised the car window, turned his head to look at him seriously and said, "No, I just couldn't open my eyes because of the sudden wind. Qiao, your bangs are really beautiful, please keep it up, okay?"

"Ah?" Georgia was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and touched her newly cut bangs, nodded and replied: "I know, my parents also said that I look good with bangs, I will keep them forever." After saying that, she smiled again, as if she remembered something funny from the past.

Chu Yan, who already knew roughly about his life experience, had no thoughts at all when he heard this. He looked at him sympathetically, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and sighed in his heart - with Qiao like this, it's no wonder that his second brother loves him so much. Although he doesn't have parents, he at least has two brothers and an elder sister-in-law, but Qiao... Alas.

The trade area on campus is very large and sells everything. Chu Yan took Georgia to the central shopping mall, bought some daily necessities, picked out a car, then took him to Campus A to identify the location of his dormitory, and finally took him to the dormitory on Campus B.

Georgia was a transfer student, so she was placed in the senior dormitory building and became a roommate with a fifth-year senior. Fortunately, although the dormitory was for two people, each person had a room with a separate bathroom and a shared living room, so there was no major problem.

When they arrived, Georgia's roommate was not there, so the two of them skipped the greeting process and went straight into Georgia's room.

The dormitory room was medium in size, with simple facilities, a desk, a chair, a wardrobe, and a door next to the wardrobe, leading to the bathroom. There was also something like a repair warehouse next to the desk, which Georgia had never seen before, so she was a little curious.

"That's the Starnet Pod." Chu Yan explained, then he remembered that he had no mental power, and added: "The Starnet Pod is similar to the optical computer. They are both things for surfing the Internet. There's nothing special about it. If you think it takes up space, you can ask the dormitory administrator to take it away."

Starnet cabin?

Georgia remembered the introduction to the Starnet Pod she had seen when she was using the optical computer. Knowing that it was a product of mental power, she nodded to show that she understood, and then said, "Anyway, I don't have mental power to use it. Tell the dormitory manager to take it away, so that I don't accidentally break it."

"Okay, let's mention it to the dormitory manager when we go downstairs to the cafeteria." Chu Yan was hoping that he would get rid of this thing, so that he wouldn't be reminded of his lack of mental strength when he saw it. Hearing this, he quickly agreed.

The two of them tidied up the room a little, and when the time was almost up, they left the dormitory and went to the cafeteria. When they left the dormitory building, they mentioned the matter of retrieving the star network cabin to the dormitory manager.

It was completely dark after dinner. Georgia declined Chu Yan's offer to take him home and drove his scooter back to the dormitory. The process was relatively smooth and he did not get lost.

When he returned to the dormitory, his roommate still hadn't come back and the Star Network Capsule in the room hadn't been collected. He went downstairs to ask the dormitory manager, who said that the department managing the Star Network Capsule was resting today and someone would be sent to collect the Star Network Capsule tomorrow, so he asked him to wait.

He quickly expressed his understanding, thanked the dormitory manager and returned to the dormitory.

The gray-haired dormitory supervisor watched him leave, thought of the small mental power simulator he wore on his ear, and sighed softly - those who can be admitted here are all smart and hardworking good kids. It is not easy to get this far without mental power.

Georgia turned on the light in the room, looked around the small room which seemed too quiet at the moment, raised her hand and patted her face, then she pulled herself together and went to the bathroom in her pajamas.

After washing up, he made a video call to Chu Rong, who answered it immediately. But probably because he was busy, he hung up after a few words. Before hanging up, he said he would call back before he went to bed and asked him to rest for a while.

Georgia looked up at the place where she had lost the other person's image, slowly lowered her shoulders and head.

After thinking about it for a while, he opened the client to check tomorrow's class schedule. He wanted to read a book but suddenly he couldn't concentrate. His eyes wandered around and finally stopped on the star network cabin.

Many products and news on the optical computer were followed by a small star logo. He looked it up out of curiosity and learned that the logo represented that the product or news could be viewed simultaneously on the Star Network.

Unlike the external network connected to the optical computer, the network connected to the star network is called the intranet. It relies on mental power to connect and simulate the virtual image of the human body, allowing people to walk, shop and play freely in the virtual world of the star network.

He had seen the Star Internet dating videos recorded and uploaded by others. If it weren't for the special note in the title, he would hardly recognize that it was a virtual world because it was too real. At least with the naked eye, he couldn't tell that those things were all virtual.

To be honest, I'm a little curious.

He stood up and walked to the Star Network Cabin, touched its hatch, hesitated for a moment, and finally lay down in - Chu Rong's home didn't have this, and he had always been curious about the principle of entering the Star Network by relying on mental power. Now that there was a ready-made Star Network Cabin here, he could just take a look.

After the person lay down, the cabin door closed automatically and an indicator light came on inside the cabin. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hand to push the cabin door, while at the same time he raised his body and looked back to see the starnet cabin structure around his brain.

"Unbound mental force waves detected, please ask if you want to bind this device."

A mechanical prompt sounded in his ears. He was stunned for a moment, then he tried to sit up excitedly, but ended up slamming into the closed cabin door.

"hiss--"

He fell back into the cabin and raised his hand to cover his forehead. The mechanical inquiry voice sounded again. This time he was prepared. He quickly selected no, found the cabin door switch, climbed out, and looked at the Starnet cabin with some suspicion.

What's going on? How can it detect the fluctuations of unbound mental power? It's clearly magic power in his brain. Sister Zhuang Yu couldn't detect his power with various high-end instruments. This Starnet cabin...

He suddenly remembered the mental power simulator on his ear, raised his hand to touch it, but found that the mental power stored inside was not reduced at all, and there was no fluctuation. He frowned in confusion.

If it wasn't because of this, then what was going on? Could it be that this StarNet cabin really sensed his magic power?

He wanted to try again, but then he remembered what Chu Yan had said, that most of the equipment on campus was connected to the military. He didn't dare to act rashly. After thinking about it, he briefly summarized the matter and sent a communication message to Chu Rong.

Ten minutes later, Chu Rong received a video call and Georgia quickly answered it.

"What's going on?" Chu Rong was sitting in the study with an electronic notebook at hand, and he was obviously busy.

Georgia felt relieved after seeing him. She quickly told him what happened in detail and asked, "Could it be because of the mental power simulator? Although I found that the mental power stored in it has not decreased."

"No." Chu Rong frowned, his eyes became serious, and said: "Starnet accounts are bound to mental power. One person has one account, and you log in with your own mental power. You can't log in to the Starnet using the mental power in the simulator. This is a program set by the Starnet to prevent account data from being stolen by others. Have you used the Starnet cabin again after you found out that something was wrong?"

After hearing the explanation, Georgia was stunned for a moment, shook his head first, and then asked: "In other words, this Star Network Cabin really sensed my magic power..." But this was too incredible. Although mental power was beneficial to magic power, before this, his magic power had been in a state where it could not be sensed by any equipment or any human being. Now an accident suddenly occurred, and the shock was definitely greater than the surprise.

This situation could be a big deal or a small one. Chu Rong almost couldn't help but go to school to pull him back, but he still had his sanity. Fortunately, Georgia left the Starnet cabin immediately after discovering something was wrong and did not log in again. The situation was still under control and the matter was easily resolved.

"When the administrators come to collect the Starnet cabin tomorrow, they will definitely find that it was activated tonight. Tell them it's because of the simulator. If they don't believe it, tell them that your mental power in the simulator is SSS-level." Chu Rong pointed at the electronic book with his fingers, feeling a little irritable, but his tone was very calm. "Tomorrow I will have someone send you a special Starnet helmet. Try it again. If it can still be detected, you must come back this weekend and I will take you for a check-up."

"Okay." Georgia nodded. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she quickly comforted him, "It was just an accident. I will be more careful next time. Don't worry."

Chu Rong frowned, not liking how cautious he was, and said, "You don't have to be too cautious. Even if something unexpected happens, I'm still here."

After saying that, she glanced at him sitting on the bed in his pajamas, relaxed her expression a little, and asked, "How is school? Who is your roommate?"

"The school is good, Xiaoyan will take me..." Afraid that he would still worry, Georgia quickly followed his words and talked about things at school, deliberately making her tone sound very expectant and excited.

Seeing that he was happy, Chu Rong's expression really relaxed. He responded with a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

After talking for half an hour, Georgia began to yawn.

"Go to sleep." Chu Rong interrupted him and said in a gentle tone: "Tell me your roommate's name when you know it. Study hard and I'll pick you up on the weekend."

Georgia rubbed her nose shyly, smiled at him, and said, "Then you should go to bed early too, don't be too tired, good night, and have a good dream."

After rubbing his nose until it turned red, he looked even more stupid. Chu Rong moved his fingers, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, replied softly with a sweet dream, and hung up the phone first.

The other person's figure disappeared in the air, and the warm yellow light that seemed to be coming through the video also disappeared, leaving only a deserted room. Chu Rong clicked the communicator, glanced at the unfinished documents on the table, and was distracted. After coming back to his senses, he sent a message to Fan Xiangnan and continued the previous video conference.

In the dormitory, the smile on Georgia's face disappeared. He raised his hand and fiddled with the communicator. He turned around and climbed onto the bed. He pulled the quilt to cover himself and closed his eyes.

Bang--!

He sat up suddenly, stared outside the door with wide eyes, and realized belatedly that the sound came from the living room outside the door. It should be his roommate who came back. He quickly threw back the quilt, got out of bed and entered the living room, then was startled by a figure lying on the edge of the living room.

"Are you okay?"

The figure who was climbing up froze for a moment and turned back to look at him.

It was a very cold face, with nice features, but the expression was a little distorted.

Seeing him frozen in place, Georgia thought he had fallen somewhere, so she rushed forward to help him up and asked anxiously, "Are you injured? Do you want to go to the school infirmary?"

The stiff man came back to his senses, slightly turned sideways to avoid the hand he stretched out, and his distorted expression instantly returned to calm. He climbed up with a noble and cold look on his face, and his beautiful brown eyes turned, looking down at his face, his eyes paused on his pointed ears, turned his head and said lightly: "No, thank you for your concern, are you the new student who moved in today?"

The voice is also cold and ethereal, very pleasant to hear.

Georgia, who was hiding her face control, smiled at him and introduced herself: "Yes, hello, I'm Georgia, a freshman, majoring in mechanical design, and I just entered the school today."

"Sangbu, majoring in information systems, fifth grade, good night." The cold beauty introduced herself briefly, her eyes moved around his ears again, then turned around, maintaining a noble and elegant appearance, and returned to the room.

Bang!

The beautiful Sangbu accidentally bumped into a stool that had fallen to the side again. She staggered for a moment before she stood firm. Then, maintaining her elegance, she quickened her pace and returned to the room with a somewhat stiff posture, as if there was a ghost chasing her from behind, and she never looked back the whole time.

“…”

Georgia silently walked forward, picked up the stool, moved it to a place closer to the inside where it would not be easily bumped into, pursed her lips and smiled - this roommate seemed very cute.

The next morning at 7:30, Georgia woke up the moment the school bell rang, got up quickly, changed clothes, washed up, and went to the first grade morning training place according to the schedule and navigation instructions. He had breakfast with nutritional supplements on the way.

Because it is a mid-level college connected to the Federal Military Academy, the school's schedule is partially modeled after that of a military academy. It has a wake-up bell and morning training, but the morning training time is shorter and it is not required to go every day. It is enough to have morning training a sufficient number of days a month.

As a transfer student, Georgia definitely does not have enough morning training days this month, so he must check in for morning training every day for the rest of this month.

Following the instructions, he came to the training hall where the first-year students were. He mingled among the students and used the client to enter the training hall. He first went to the tester to check his physical qualifications, and then received a training plan that the system automatically listed according to his qualifications. He then found the corresponding equipment according to the plan to start training, completely independently.

The morning training time was half an hour, and the training schedule required him to run with weights. He came to the treadmill according to the instructions, turned on the machine with the client, let the machine load his training schedule, and then poof, the treadmill spit out a set of weight equipment.

“……”It’s quite convenient.

Georgia put on the weight-bearing equipment curiously, then stood on the treadmill. After a half-hour countdown appeared on the machine, she started running.

Dwarves and elves are both species that are used to running in the woods. Running is no pressure for Georgia, but it is really boring to just run around like that. He simply took out the textbooks that were automatically downloaded after the student client was updated yesterday, and picked one to start reading.

There are many basic courses in the mechanical design direction, most of which are concentrated in the first three years, and the next two years are all professional research courses. Georgia does not have much theoretical knowledge, but has rich practical experience. He can understand the basic theoretical knowledge at a glance and turn the pages very quickly.

The teachers who were scattered around the training hall helping students with their training soon noticed this strange student and pretended to pass by to see if he was slacking off. However, they found that the machine was indeed running normally and the speed was increasing at a constant speed.

The teacher was a little confused. This student looked skinny and small, but he was actually running the most difficult variable-speed run. Did the system make a mistake?

The teacher, worried that the system had made a mistake, hurried back to check, only to be stunned to find that the student information corresponding to that machine actually showed S-level physical qualifications.

He looks so skinny and small, S-level?

He turned his head to look at the child who was running at a variable speed as if he was strolling in the garden, and glanced at the projection of the textbook that kept flipping in front of him, and was silent - forget it, there are not enough monsters in the school, and this one is not missing, this is probably the new genius in the mecha driving department.

Thinking this, the teacher simply ignored the big words "Mechanical Design Direction" on the student's information.

At nine o'clock, the first class began. Georgia glanced at the boys and girls around him who were five years younger than him on average, and scratched the pen of his electronic pen - he wanted to skip a grade, as soon as possible!

The day's classes ended successfully. Georgia went to the cafeteria to eat dinner and returned to the dormitory, only to find that the people who were collecting the star net cabin had already arrived.

"Excuse me, is this Georgia?" the serious-looking middle-aged man asked, pointing to the Starnet cabin that had been moved to the living room, and asked, "We detected that the Starnet cabin was activated last night, but according to the data, you don't have any mental power. We want to know the details."

Georgia, who had already received Chu Rong's instructions, hurriedly explained the statement made yesterday. The middle-aged man looked at his colleague with some suspicion and said that he wanted to see his simulator.

Georgia took off the simulator and gave it to him, adding: "The mental power in my simulator is SSS level. Be careful when you look at it, it may backfire."

The middle-aged man's hand froze for a moment as he took the simulator, but he finally took it and carefully inserted his mental power into it.

A sharp and domineering mental force ferociously counterattacked after sensing his spying. The middle-aged man hurriedly cut off the mental connection, returned the simulator to Georgia with a pale face, and became much more respectful. He apologized for disturbing her and hurriedly left with the Starnet cabin.

Sangbu, who had been sitting next to Georgia as a background, glanced up and down, his eyes slid across the simulator in his hand, and said coldly: "SSS-level mental power, it seems that he is another child of a powerful family." All the bigwigs of SSS-level mental power in the federation are in the government and the military, and their number is so small that they can be counted on one hand. No one expected that this newcomer would have such a powerful background.

Georgia turned her head to look at him, shook her head honestly and replied: "I'm not a child of a powerful family. I'm just fortunate to receive their help. Sambu, it's wrong to look at people with tinted glasses." He would not have misunderstood the sarcasm and disdain in the other party's tone, but with the misunderstanding yesterday, he didn't think that Sambu's sarcasm and disdain were directed at him.

Sangbu was stared at seriously, his expression froze, a faint blush suddenly appeared on his face, and he said angrily: "I'm not so embarrassed as to look at a first-grade kid with tinted glasses. You've only been weaned for a few years-"

"It's been fifteen years since I was weaned. I'm seventeen now." Georgia corrected seriously: "Not a few years."

Sambu choked, then widened his eyes and exclaimed, "You're seventeen? I thought you...wait, then why are you still in the first grade?"

"Because I'm a native who has just entered the Federation." Georgia thought his wide-eyed look was much cuter than his cold face, so she smiled and replied, pointing to her ears: "I thought you had already seen it."

"I thought you were a moron with too much money to spend, so you made a fake one to make yourself look special..." Sangbu stopped talking halfway, looked at him awkwardly, said sorry in a hurry, turned around and walked quickly back to the room, bumping into the wall by the way.

Georgia: “…”

Just after taking a shower, the dormitory manager sent him a message to pick up the package. Thinking of the special Starnet helmet that Chu Rong mentioned last night, Georgia's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put on his coat and ran out.

When he reached the corner of the corridor, he almost collided head-on with someone. Fortunately, the other person quickly moved to the side and he also took a step back in time, otherwise the two of them would probably have "huggled" each other tightly.

"Sorry." He apologized hurriedly, anxious to get his helmet, then walked around the other person and went downstairs.

The tall and gentle-looking man watched him leave, and his eyes moved as he thought of the small pointed ears that flashed by in the half-dried hair.

"Kong Ran! What are you doing standing there? Come here quickly, the game is about to start." A big head popped out from behind the door of a dormitory and called out to the man loudly.

The man came back to his senses, took one last look at the empty staircase, and walked towards his friend.

After getting the helmet, Georgia hurried back to the dormitory, locked the door and asked Qiuqiu to listen to the noise outside. According to the helmet manual, he removed the mental simulator, lay down on the bed a little anxiously, put on the helmet and closed his eyes.

"Unbound mental force waves detected, would you like to bind this device?"

The familiar prompt sounded again. He suppressed his excitement and chose to confirm. The next second, some spots of light suddenly appeared in front of his dark eyes, and then he felt dizzy. When the dizziness faded away, a bright room appeared in front of him.

"Welcome to the Star Network. After scanning, your mental power has not been bound to the Star Network account. Please bind it first and set up your account and Star Network image."

The prompt sounded again, and then a transparent panel appeared in front of us.

Georgia looked at it all in amazement, and found that wherever her gaze turned, the corresponding sliding symbol would flash on the panel. Recalling the knowledge of the Star Network she had learned before, she tried to think of the word "De Gu" in her mind, and then she found that the word "De Gu" lit up in the account name column on the panel.

It really works!

He was delighted and quickly filled in the rest of the account information, selected OK, and started the next image setting.

The helmet automatically scanned his facial data, so in the image settings column there was a black-haired boy with his face lying quietly with his eyes closed. He wanted to reach out and touch him, but found that he had no entity now, just a trace of consciousness, and could not touch the other person, so he had to give up.

After some consideration, he changed the black-haired boy's hair to the same white as Chu Rong's, adjusted his height to be the same as his own, chose black for the pupil color, and chose to normalize the facial features by 30%. After making sure that he could no longer recognize his original appearance, he chose to confirm again.

"Settings completed, please watch the beginner tutorial."

The scene changed, his body felt heavier, and this time he finally had a physical body. Then he was led by the system to start the compulsory novice training.

A quarter of an hour later, the novice tutorial ended. He filled in mecha manufacturing and mechanical design in the categories of interest and officially logged into the Star Network.

The next second, overwhelming cheers came from all around him, and he found himself randomly sent to a busy square by the system, surrounded by excited people.
