Chapter 77 Boss Shang is Generous!

"Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, what are you standing there for? It's almost 8:30, why aren't you eating yet?"

Qiao Mei was recalling the very ambiguous, even somewhat suggestive, words that Ao Cang had said to her last night in his eighteen-year-old human form.

Suddenly interrupted by Xu Hui, her eyes involuntarily darted around. She reached for the still scalding hot egg, hissed at the heat, and threw it back into the plate.

Seeing this, Xu Hui looked at Qiao Mei suspiciously and asked her what she was thinking.

"No... I'm just a little nervous because I'm about to attend the Federal Academy's entrance ceremony."

The Federal Academy's entrance ceremony is today. It's perfectly normal for Qiao Mei, as a freshman who is about to officially enroll, to be nervous, so Xu Hui didn't think much of it.

After nodding, he didn't ask any more questions.

On the contrary, the little black dragon wrapped around Qiao Mei's neck, seeing her reddened earlobes, guessed the real reason.

He recalled the unusually intense look in Qiao Mei's eyes when he said to her last night that he seemed to really enjoy being close to her, and how she later forced him to transform back into his dragon form for some reason, saying she wanted to suck his dragon belly and bite his dragon neck.

Looking back now, it still feels a bit strange.

The opening ceremony of the Federal Academy officially begins at 9:40 a.m. Generally, you only need to arrive 10 minutes in advance. However, since the Federal Academy is located on the Federal Star, it takes at least half an hour to get there from the Imperial Star, even if the spacecraft is not congested.

So after having breakfast with Xu Hui, Qiao Mei went to the aircraft parking area almost without stopping, so as not to miss the opening ceremony.

With ten minutes remaining before the spacecraft was scheduled to take off for the Federation Star, Qiao Mei's personal computer account finally received the reward email from the official Interstellar Mech Competition at 8:00 AM.

And a logo for the top 100 of the StarCraft Mech Competition that can be directly linked to a quantum computer account.

With this, Qiao Mei asked Xingxing if she could use it to contact customer service to unban her account.

But for some reason, Xingxing didn't reply to her messages on her personal terminal as quickly as before; there was no response at all this time.

Qiao Mei was puzzled for a moment, but didn't think much of it.

Just as she was about to find a place to offer the 50,000 interstellar coins she had just received as a reward to Ao Cang through prayer, she received another notification from her quantum computer.

[You have been added to the "Three Sworn Brothers" group by "Shang Duojin".]

Upon clicking, the opening screen displayed a meme that Qiao Mei found both familiar and baffling—a star-shaped figure holding up a pixelated image of a defense, accompanied by the caption "Your dad's here."

After Shang Duojin made this meme, he took pictures of the luxurious aircraft he was riding in, as well as the beautiful sea of ​​clouds outside the window.

Shang Duojin: [Sigh, it's such a pity that I can only enjoy such a beautiful view all by myself. I wish you guys could come too. I'm so tired of this boring and dull life of being rich...]

In the highly polluted interstellar environment, to see such beautiful clouds, one must be at a much higher altitude.

However, as far as Qiao Mei knew, this was something that only the wealthy could enjoy, because there was a height restriction that only powerful families or royalty with a certain level of status and wealth could go to higher altitudes.

Given their current status and position, they can only travel on the most ordinary aircraft, equivalent to the economy class she used to fly in modern times.

So after reading what Shang Duojin said, Qiao Mei twitched her lips and sent a reply that was rude but very satisfying.

Qiao Mei: [Get lost.]

Shu Qingqing followed closely behind: 【Get lost, you bastard!!】

Shang Duojin laughed out loud on the other end of the screen after seeing their replies, then sent a red envelope with a wave of his hand.

Shang Duojin: [I'm giving you another chance to rephrase your statements.]

Qiao Mei opened the red envelope and was instantly dumbfounded when she saw the string of numbers that appeared in her eyes.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands... three thousand five hundred and twenty interstellar coins?!"

Shu Qingqing grabbed it even earlier than her, and got 2,480.

Although it's a little less than hers, it's about the same.

Shu Qingqing: [Wow, Boss Shang is so generous!! I take back what I said before, Boss Shang is really pitiful, he can only live this boring and tedious rich life, unlike me, who is currently busy squeezing into the crowd on the public flying vehicle, almost being squeezed into a sardine can just to find my seat.]

Shang Duojin looked at the latest message from Shu Qingqing and felt somewhat satisfied, but he still felt that the more he read the last part, the more something seemed off.

Qiao Mei realized that Shu Qingqing was launching a tea-themed attack on Shang Duojin. Amused, she followed suit and simply copied and pasted Shu Qingqing's words.

Qiao Mei: [Boss, you've gone to a lot of trouble. I take back what I said before. Boss Shang is really pitiful, only able to live this boring and tedious life of wealth. Unlike me, I'm still waiting for the public aircraft to be called. In order not to miss this aircraft, I specially set off half an hour early. I'm almost exhausted from waiting.]

Shang Duojin: [? You two, are you whispering something I don't understand?]

Shu Qingqing: [Absolutely not!!]

Qiao Mei: [1.]

Before Shang Duojin could say anything more, Qiao Mei announced that the aircraft was about to take off, and after saying that she was about to board the aircraft, she turned off the personal computer.

Because there were quite a few people going to the Federal Star Academy this time, Qiao Mei and Xu Hui were unable to buy seats together and were separated.
