In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand sl...
Chapter 234
Chapter 234
Coming out of the maintenance room, Ying Chenlin was still thinking about the list of maintenance technicians.
He didn't need to worry about the maintenance technicians. After taking a quick look at the list, he found a few maintenance technicians whose names looked familiar to him. They were colleagues he had worked with in his previous life. When sailing on the starship, the sense of reality was not particularly obvious. It was not until Shen Xingtang gave him the list of maintenance technicians that he realized that the trajectory after rebirth was winding, but at certain moments he would still reach a fixed node.
Walking all the way to the door of the room, Ying Chenlin came to his senses when he saw the suitcase placed at the door of the room.
He subconsciously looked towards You Su's room opposite. The door was closed, the virtual screen was on, and You Su was in the room.
Probably taking a shower.
Ying Chenlin entered the password and entered the room. A message from Huo Yan popped up on the computer, in which he agreed to meet at the gate of the base in half an hour.
Huo Yan received the reply and reminded him: "Oh, by the way, Shen Lin, you should also give You Su a shout. He didn't reply to the message I sent him. He must be busy."
Ying Chenlin cut off the chat box with Huo Yan, and his hand paused slightly when searching for contacts. His peripheral vision fell on a pinned chat box above Huo Yan's chat box, and he clicked on it. The last time they chatted was before leaving for Slared, when he called You Su to come to the maintenance room to check out the mecha.
He left a message for You Su and planned to take a shower first.
The clothes in the closet were arranged in order. Ying Chenlin habitually reached for the clothes on the left side, but his movements slowed down when he touched the black clothes. Ying Chenlin has been in KID for a long time, and he usually wears what is convenient for him. The clothes on the left are the ones he wears most often. They are dirt-resistant and good as a base layer. When he is not wearing combat uniform, he usually wears these... He originally planned to replace them when they were worn out, but he just piled them all here.
All the clothes in Ying Chenlin's suitcase had been taken away for cleaning, so he had to look at the clothes on the right.
Those were clothes I wore two years ago, when I came to KID for an application after completing my recovery from surgery. They were clothes I bought for myself when I was 18 years old. I rarely wore them after that, as I rarely went out. Even if Shen Xingtang hadn't said it, he wouldn't have realized this problem. He really did buy very little...and it was time to change his clothes.
He picked from several pieces of clothing and could only choose a loose-fitting outfit, then quickly went into the bathroom.
"We are already here in the training room, Shen Lin, come over with Brother You when you are ready!"
The latest news popped up in the group. Ying Chenlin came out of the shower, and the message he sent to You Su had not received a reply yet.
The corridor of the base was very quiet, and there were not many people in the dormitory area during the day. Ying Chenlin stood in the corridor and waited for a while. When he saw that the half-hour time was up, he took the initiative to press the bell of You Su's door.
"Who?" A man's slightly dull voice sounded on the virtual screen.
Ying Chenlin said honestly: "Ying Chenlin."
Before the other party could respond, You Su's door opened automatically.
From further inside the room, the other person's voice was heard: "Come in, wait a moment."
The two often stayed together when they were out, but this was the first time Ying Chenlin entered You Su's private space.
The rooms in the base were all decorated with uniform furniture, and the furnishings in the rooms were mirror images of his place. The only difference was that the room was filled with the aura of another person and the domineering mental power that belonged to that other person.
Ying Chenlin stopped and for a moment he didn't know whether to continue walking in.
He looked to the side with a little curiosity, and saw luggage lying casually on the ground, various instruments and unstored energy crystals randomly thrown on the table, combat uniforms and coats draped over chairs...it was a bit messy.
When You Su came out of the bathroom, he saw the boy standing obediently at the door. He wiped his hair and asked, "Why don't you come in?"
"Oh." Ying Chenlin came back to his senses and was about to speak when he saw You Su walking towards the bed with his back to him. The huge scar spanned the man's entire back, and the marks that penetrated deep into the skin were spread all over his muscles. His eyes moved slightly, and when they moved upwards, he saw a new scar on the other person's left shoulder. The wound was not tied with a medical bandage, and the new flesh and scab merged from the shoulder to the middle of the left arm.
You Su said: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ying Chenlin tried his best to avoid his gaze, "Brother Huo said he was going out to buy something, and he left you a message but didn't reply."
You Su stopped drying his hair and picked up the laptop next to him to see the message.
In addition to Huo Yan's message, there were also several messages sent by Ying Chenlin. It happened that when he went into the bathroom, Theo was forced to turn off his phone, so he did not hear the sound of the light computer.
"Wait a minute." You Su threw his combat uniform into the bathroom and took out a T-shirt from the closet to put it on.
"Wound." Ying Chenlin blurted out: "The doctor said that your wound is at risk of contamination and infection. You need to spray the medicine for 10 days."
You Su paused and chuckled, "Your memory is so good?"
Ying Chenlin said nothing and looked at You Su's wound.
When I was on the starship, I lived next door to You Su, and I often heard the sound of doctors coming in and out and talking. You Su's injuries were relatively serious, with a lot of bleeding, and the wound was exposed and infected. Some time ago, there was a doctor watching over him on the starship, but he didn't even let You Su remove the bandages.
After You Su finished speaking, he did not continue to put on his clothes, but took out the medicine given by the doctor from his suitcase.
His peripheral vision fell on Ying Chenlin. The other person was wearing clothes he had never seen before, and his usual combat boots were replaced with sneakers.
"Help me." You Su's voice was unintentionally hoarse, "I can't spray the back."
Ying Chenlin was no longer standing at the door. He went over and took the medicine from You Su. He treated You Su's wound skillfully and asked, "Where's the medical bandage?"
"In the luggage." You Su said.
Ying Chenlin found the bandage and said, "It's best not to let the wound come into contact with water. You didn't listen to the doctor's advice."
You Su noticed the other party's skilled movements and said, "It's scabbed."
Ying Chenlin's hands were very cold, and there was an inexplicable feeling when his fingertips pressed on his skin. You Su's body couldn't help but tense up. The other party's slightest movement on his back became more obvious through the touch, and there was also a faint feeling of the slightest touch of his fingertips scratching his back.
Very itchy.
You Su carried Ying Chenlin on his back, and his eyes inadvertently deepened.
There was a little light in the room, but it was not too bright because there was no sunlight in the base all year round.
The automatic lighting system seemed to have been adjusted by You Su, and it would automatically adjust the brightness when there was no sound. What Ying Chenlin felt through his fingertips was the other person's scorching body temperature, with a hint of moisture from a shower. The smooth muscle lines on the shoulders and back felt hard, and he couldn't help but relax his strength.
"It's loose." You Su said hoarsely.
Ying Chenlin's hand accidentally brushed against the scar on You Su's back. He quickly adjusted the strength: "Tighter, like this?"
The lights around seemed to dim, and Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes and looked at the other person's back.
After finally bandaging it, Ying Chenlin took a half step back with his hands behind his back, his fingertips still feeling a little warm and wet, "Okay, I'll go wash my hands."
"The bathroom is over there." You Su stood up and stretched his arms.
As Ying Chenlin entered the bathroom, he was greeted by the usual smell of You Su's shower gel.
He stopped, found the sink, and tried to pull the lever, but no water came out.
"The water outlet of the sink is broken." You Su's voice came from outside, "Go to the inner room."
Ying Chenlin looked towards the shower room, but before he walked in, he was suddenly pulled backwards by a force from behind and bumped into someone. He was slightly stunned as the shower head on the top of the shower cubicle in front of him began to spray water, with a trickle of water falling in front of him.
He almost got drenched.
You Su's hand passed over Ying Chenlin's waist and turned off the automatic sensor next to him. "I forgot to mention that I set it up for automatic sensing."
The two of them were very close to each other. Ying Chenlin didn't say anything, and the scent of You Su was all around him.
You Su opened the water outlet and said, "Go wash."
"Oh." Ying Chenlin reached out.
You Su put his hand on the shower door, lowered his eyes and saw the boy who was half bent over, his gaze fell on the back of his neck.
After washing his hands, Ying Chenlin felt a suffocating heat and his heart beat faster for no apparent reason.
"What are you two doing?"
The sudden voice brought the two people back to their senses.
Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao stood at the bathroom door, one head high and one low, peeking inside.
"Hurry up, otherwise it will be night before we finish shopping for a while." Lin Yao said.
Ji Qingfeng asked: "Why are you two crowding in the shower room? Is the drain blocked?"
"Aren't you done with your shower yet?" Huo Yan poked his head out from the side and stopped just outside. "You Su, you're not wearing any clothes?"
You Su took a few steps back and closed the bathroom door. "Go out. I'll get dressed."
Ying Chenlin was about to go out, but was locked inside by You Su, "...I haven't gone out yet."
The three onlookers were pushed out of the bathroom. Ji Qingfeng wondered, "Why close the door? It's not like we haven't seen it before."
"Is Chen Lin not out yet?" Lin Yao stood at the bathroom door.
Lu Xi, who came with him to look for someone, didn't come in. She waited at the door and asked quietly, "Are you not done yet?"
"It's almost done, wait for Brother You and Chen Lin to put on their clothes." Lin Yao shouted.
Huo Yan turned around and saw You Su's T-shirt thrown on the bed, "You Su, did you forget to bring your clothes?"
Dr. Ackley, who happened to be walking back to the medical room outside, heard the sound, stopped curiously and looked inside. He saw a group of people crowded inside. He shook his head and quickly walked towards the medical room.
Not long after Lin Yao finished shouting, the bathroom door opened.
You Su walked out with a sullen face, shirtless, followed by Ying Chenlin.
As soon as Ying Chenlin came out, he walked to the outer corridor, and the stuffiness on his body was relieved a little.
Lu Xi next to him looked at him curiously, "Chen Lin."
Ying Chenlin came back to his senses and looked at her in confusion.
Luxi pointed and said, "Your ears are red."

After wasting an hour, K
ID Six mecha divisions set out from the base.
The hovercraft belonged to Jiang Simiao. Jiang Simiao was too busy to be a driver, so Huo Yan asked him for the key. It was a medium-sized hovercraft with seven seats. It was originally used by Jiang Simiao to help Shen Xingtang transport materials. Its appearance was barely acceptable, and the back seat was converted into a cargo hold.
Huo Yan and Lu Xi sat in the front, and the remaining narrow space in the back seat could only be squeezed by a few people. Lin Yao climbed into the small seat reserved in the back. Three adult men had to squeeze into three rows of seats. Not long after Ying Chenlin sat down, You Su squeezed in.
"Why doesn't Sanshui change his car?" Ji Qingfeng leaned over to the man, "I should have rented a car earlier."
"He has already changed one. His previous car was too small, so he changed it to this one. He will probably have to wait until he reaches the new base to change it again." Huo Yan skillfully turned to float in the air and said, "This one is good. When we buy something later, the storage compartment in the back can be used to store things. It is more convenient than renting a car."
The shopping mall is not far away. Nowadays, there is more online shopping on StarNet, and there are few physical shopping malls like this one.
The offline mall is combined with virtual construction. It looks ordinary on the surface, but the diversified shopping center inside is enough to visit in three days.
The largest shopping mall in Sirius's entire A area is right here. When Huo Yan went to park, others were already planning their shopping routes. The guide was made by Lu Xi. Before she came, she had already made a small shopping list based on everyone's needs and handed one to everyone when she got there. "I'm going to the fourth underground floor to buy something else. See you in a few hours. The higher you go in the commercial district, the more expensive it is. You can go to the third underground floor to buy."
Everyone knows KID, the cheaper it gets, the lower it goes.
After Luxi left, several people went to where the furniture was.
"Sister Tang said she will cover the expenses for this outing, but you can't buy anything too expensive. You have to pay for the overspending yourself." Huo Yan gave instructions and let the others go shopping. "Gather here after shopping on this floor!"
Before he could finish his words, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao had already disappeared.
Ying Chenlin seldom left the base before his rebirth. After his rebirth, he was very busy and had no plans to enter the shopping mall. He could only search for purchase orders on the Star Network, made a temporary demand list according to the strategy map given by Lu Xi, and started purchasing things step by step.
You Su walked side by side with him. He could see what Ying Chenlin was searching for just by looking to the side. When he entered the smart bathing equipment store, he did not even go into the store to visit. He browsed the virtual models at the shopping guide counter. He only cared about functionality and did not care about style and appearance. Under the guidance of the smart shopping guide robot, he picked up various colors of default appearance, all of which were black.
Ying Chenlin was very fast and continued reading one after finishing it.
"Are you planning to buy everything in one store?" You Su asked.
Ying Chenlin paused: "This one has them all."
You Su emptied the other party's shopping cart with one click and took the lead to enter the store. "Come here."
There are more styles and categories in the store, and you can see more things at a glance. The styles are similar to those at the shopping guide counter, but Ying Chenlin's eyes can't help but look up. As a maintenance technician, he is very sensitive to things like smart devices. The assembly procedures of the equipment can be seen at the shopping guide counter. For him, the most important thing is the function, and the functions and procedures of these things are similar.
They stopped next to the multi-purpose toothbrush.
Ying Chenlin said: "I can go shopping."
You Su glanced at the side and said, "Pick a color you like."
"Black...blue is fine." Ying Chenlin.
You Su didn't say anything.
Ying Chenlin thought for a moment and said, "It should be black."
You Su added both black and white to the shopping cart and said, "Look down."
"Why buy two?" Ying Chenlin explained, "This kind of equipment is updated very quickly, so there is no need to prepare a spare."
You Su raised his eyes slightly, his hand casually resting on the shopping cart, "Ying Chenlin, don't I need to buy it?"
Ying Chenlin was stunned for a moment: "Oh."
The store is very large. In order to restore the shopping tradition of the old Blue Star era, the shopping cart is intelligent and has no storage capacity limit. The cart can be stored in the storage knob at any time. The items on the cart will be virtualized after being set up and settled all at once when leaving the shopping center.
After adding two items, a pair of toothbrushes appeared on the shopping cart shelf.
"What to buy next?" You Su asked.
Ying Chenlin looked down at the shopping list, "...cleaning wipes."
The two walked down the store, and Ying Chenlin watched the optical computer select suitable bathroom appliances. "You can take this. Sister Tang said that cleaning machines must be purchased for the new base."
You Su responded indifferently, and when he picked up the styles, he picked up two colors. He pushed the shopping cart and followed behind Ying Chenlin. He looked at the other person, looking down at the computer, and then looking around. He didn't seem as immature as before. He grew two years older, a little taller, and his face had a little more flesh...
Ying Chenlin was also wearing a thin black and white coat today, covering his obvious mechanical arms. He stood very straight when walking. His skin color was not as pale as before, but he was still thin and felt unreal to the touch.
"White?" Ying Chenlin picked up a style.
You Su said: "The black and white one, the dark blue one is also OK."
Ying Chenlin took two and put them in the shopping cart.
You Su's eyes stopped at the cleaning machines of different colors but the same style placed together in the shopping cart. Next to them were other products of the same style placed in pairs. He stretched out his hand and disrupted the position of some of the products.
After shopping in one store, the two changed their route and bought other things.
This time, Ying Chenlin did not make any purchases at the shopping guide counter. Instead, he went into the store to take a look. He was busy making his selections while You Su followed him slowly from behind.
Suddenly, You Su pulled Ying Chenlin's hand.
Ying Chenlin was dragged back by him and took a step back, avoiding the robot blocking the way ahead.
Ji Qingfeng just entered the store pushing a shopping cart, and Lin Yao also came over quickly pushing a cart.
Ji Qingfeng glanced at Lin Yao's shopping cart and almost couldn't hold back, "Yaobao, are you decorating your new house? I thought you were going to send all these things to your bridal chamber!"
"Ah?" Lin Yao didn't think anything was wrong, "My dad said that this is too vulgar, the decoration should be more festive."
Ji Qingfeng glanced at Ying Chenlin and You Su’s shopping carts. There were all kinds of colors, including black, white, blue, purple, and red.
Mixed together...will these two be able to tell the difference when the time comes? He didn't have the courage to question You Su who was pushing the shopping cart. It was obvious that he was just slacking off at the back, so it was most likely that Ying Chenlin had picked them.
Lin Yao: "I just saw a discounted virtual warehouse on the second floor!"
Ji Qingfeng was still picking things out: "Don't be tempted unless it's 30% off."
"60% off!" Lin Yao.
Ji Qingfeng: "Damn! Leave now!"
Ying Chenlin stopped walking towards another store, and his attention seemed to drift to the virtual warehouse where products were offered at a 40% discount.
You Su: "Want to buy?"
"What to buy?" Ying Chenlin paused.
You Su changed the direction of the shopping cart, "Discounted virtual warehouse."
Ying Chenlin whispered: "The virtual warehouse in the base is indeed old. You can take a look at the discount."
Discount virtual warehouse special purchase store, Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng squeezed in front of the discount store.
"Is there a discount on Santai?" Ji Qingfeng asked.
Lin Yao: "Buy six, will you give me a 50% discount?"
Ji Qingfeng: "50% off is not enough, 40% off."
Intelligent shopping guide robot: “…”
Huo Yan was nearby, and followed him when he saw this. "Buy a virtual warehouse?"
"This one is good." Ying Chenlin squatted in front of a virtual warehouse with complete functions, "It's just a little expensive."
Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao switched targets. Ji Qingfeng pointed at the shopping guide robot in front of Ying Chenlin and said, "This one, six units, 40% off."
Lin Yao: "Seven units, 50% off."
Ji Qingfeng: "Yaobao, how can you bid like that?"
You Su: “…”
While the KID crowd was immersed in shopping at the Sirius Shopping Center, a large number of netizens were waiting in line at the entrance of the KID online store on StarNet. ⑥
The Slared incident was known to the entire network. As the incident fermented, everyone knew that it was a Covenant mission, and they also knew that the accident occurred at the Covenant mission site.
Compared with the Mecha League, the Star Alliance mission, a dangerous mission that has never been broadcast live to the outside world, has also become known to a small number of people following the Slared incident.
The netizens in the Dawn Galaxy had no idea. If the Slared incident hadn't caused such a big fuss, they wouldn't even pay attention to the affairs of the Third Star Region, let alone this special mission in which only a small number of strong teams in the Mecha Alliance participated... They were even less aware of things that the Mecha Masters might not know.
It was not until they saw a large amount of Slared contaminant materials in the pre-sale information of KID's online store that they came to their senses.
Old fans all know where the pollutants in KID’s online store come from. Most of them are looted by KID from polluted areas... In other words, KID went to Slarede and looted so many pollutant materials from Slarede! ?
What is the Covenant mission? A gathering of strong teams, a very high elimination rate, and the legendary special mission! Under the continuous bombardment of netizens, when the Dawn Galaxy issued a notice related to the Star Alliance mission in the First Star Domain, it released the news that the joint team of the four major bases participated in the Star Alliance mission, and announced the good news of winning the 20th place and winning back a place in the Star Domain Competition for the Dawn Galaxy.
Now the Shuguang netizens couldn't sit still. They, a galaxy ranked last in the first star field, actually also went to participate in the special mission! ? And got 20th place! The 20th place was achieved in a situation where there were so many strong teams!
This is undoubtedly breaking news for the Dawn Galaxy, which has always performed poorly.
[Originally, Shuguang seemed to have only one spot for the competition, which was for KID. 】
[…No way?] In this Star Domain Competition, I can see 8 teams from Dawn participating. 】
[The quota is full, Shuguang has got all the wild card spots! grass! What did they do on the Covenant mission! 】
【KID is awesome...】
Can I dream? Maybe a group war in our Dawn Galaxy is really going to break out? 】
In response to the announcement from the Dawn Alliance official blog, the four major bases simply forwarded it and did not publicize any other news. Netizens were too excited and crowded the official Weibo accounts of the four major bases every day. The official Weibo accounts of the other three bases were not doing much business. On the contrary, the business index of KID’s official Weibo account was far higher than that of the past two months.
There was no other reason, it was simply to promote the online store and take advantage of the popularity of the Star Domain Tournament. The square was full of news about their sales.
More and more people have been crowding on KID’s official blog in the past few days, resulting in the shelves being cleared out on the day the pre-sale window for Slared products opened. How could kid's fans sit still? They worked so hard to wait for so long, but the speed at which they grabbed tickets was not as fast as that of other people. The key point was that many of the virtual images they were competing with looked like they were from alien planets. There weren't enough tickets in their own galaxy to grab, so how come so many people came from alien planets?
Brother Zhang had been busy for a few days. He sat in the windy conference room with a vicissitudes of life, feeling as if he had been reborn after a calamity.
When Qi Sicheng passed by the conference room, he saw Brother Zhang staring at the wall in a daze. He had never seen him like this before on the starship. "What's wrong?"
"Brother Zhang has worked overtime for five days." The intern who followed Brother Zhang has been converted to a full-time employee. He has been communicating with Brother Zhang remotely these days. When he was still floating in the third star field, Brother Zhang had already started working the night shift. He had to avoid Boss Shen from the same starship every day. His life was worse than death. "The goods have just been sold out. Later I have to be busy setting up a VIP system for KID."
"VIP?" Qi Sicheng paused.
The newly-appointed employee who was entrusted with the important task said, "Boss Shen's business has grown, and the internal preferential channels and the VIP system have all been handed over to Brother Zhang to be in charge."
Zhao Lejie watched Guang Nao walk by without even looking up: "I advised him to resign, but he didn't listen."
"Damn, these poor bastards are well-fed, but they still go shopping."
"Fuck! Why!" Brother Zhang suddenly stood up: "I'm working so hard, and they're going shopping!?"
Qi Sicheng glanced sideways and saw the image on Zhao Lejie's laptop. It seemed to be a shopping mall somewhere. It captured KID and several others crowding at the entrance of a virtual warehouse store. They were spotted by a passerby and posted on Starnet.
At this time, a new message popped up above the image:
[LuoBo: Lao Zhao, have you seen StarNet? ]
Zhao Lejie quickly replied:
[Full Shuguang
Hard Man: See, did you count? Five people and four shopping carts. I won’t tell you who doesn’t have one. That’s awesome. ]
Qi Sicheng: “…”
The author has something to say:
You are late! (bitter)
I will write an extra chapter for you guys tomorrow, and sort out the outline of the Star Domain Competition tonight.
