The information available on the surface was just that. If he wanted to know more, he would have to go to 91 to get information. Yan Jue thought for a moment and decided to start with the biographies.
[Biography (1)
As an abandoned mining planet, Planet N-90 is just like its number, a small, inconspicuous planet ranked last in the chaotic star field.
The chaotic star field is a mixed bag of people. No matter who you are, regardless of your race, power or identity, as long as you come here, you must abide by the rules. No one will pay for your weakness, and no one will talk about the ridiculous "equality".
The same is true for Planet N-90.
While people were fighting for food and resources, no one knew that a cub of the Stone Tribe had quietly awakened in an abandoned mine on the planet.
Who doesn't know that the Stone Tribe's young are the hardest to come by, and the most prized, in the interstellar universe? Regardless of why this young appeared on the abandoned planet, if they could be returned to the Stone Tribe, or even just a message could be sent, wealth would be within their grasp.
Unfortunately, no one is so lucky.
It was not until ten years later that the Stone Cub was discovered when a group of people from an unknown force drove mechas to an abandoned mine to look for something.
Capture, attempt to entrap, resist.
A young Stone Clan cub named Ah Qing accidentally fell out of the spaceship during a fight with someone.]
After finishing the biography, Yan Jue's first reaction was: "It's so short." Then, subconsciously, he wanted to turn the page to see if he had missed a few lines. Otherwise, why did the ending feel so abruptly cut off? It felt like the ending was only half-finished.
There was no page-turning option, so Yan Jue could only turn back and quickly read the biography again. After reading it, he understood why the biography was unlocked so quickly this time.
Because apart from the useless background information in the first few sentences, the remaining parts related to Ah Qing fully demonstrate that he himself does not know why he is on Planet N-90, and has not even come into contact with people of other races. Of course, the possibility that Ah Qing is secretly observing cannot be ruled out.
In general, Ah Qing knew nothing about his own origins, and all his experiences in the past ten years were simply terrifying. Being kidnapped was probably the most impressive thing in his memory.
Yan Jue rubbed his temples and thought helplessly, no wonder Ah Qing accepted his coming to kindergarten so naturally. Perhaps in his mind with little common sense, everything was reasonable and in line with his imagination.
Who made him never leave the N-90 planet and never come into contact with anyone?
However, this unexpectedly saved Yan Jue the trouble of figuring out how to lower the new kid's vigilance. Since arriving, Ah Qing's favorability has reached a staggering 30. Although it's no longer increasing, if it continues at this rate, it will probably reach the maximum in a few days, right?
He's not ready to take on a fourth cub yet. So what kind of race will that fourth cub be?
Having strayed from the topic, Yan Jue stopped his wandering thoughts and focused his attention back on Ah Qing's information. He dug out the student file that only contained a basic introduction and carefully reviewed it. He then called 91 to try to dig deeper, to see if he could get any answers to his questions.
This is just basic information. 91 shouldn't be that stingy, right? At the very least, they'd be fine with spending some points. Fortunately, 91 hasn't yet demanded any money for this, and everything is free.
The first thing he wanted to ask was the lifespan of the Stone Clan, something he was most curious about. A stone's lifespan, undamaged, could be measured in centuries. Should a stone-like being also live a long time?
"The average lifespan of the Megaliths is one thousand years. As long as their 'source' is not destroyed, they will not die, and they can even regenerate lost limbs."
A thousand years is not so bad. After all, with the existence of Noel and others in this world of cultivation where one can increase his lifespan as his realm increases as he practices, a thousand years does not sound too exaggerated.
Yan Jue: "Then how old do they become adults?" Ten years old is very young no matter where you put it.
91 Answer: "One hundred years."
That's a genuine cub, about the same height as Noel. But his height, when you think about the settings in movies, TV shows, and comics, is quite intriguing.
"How tall is Ah Qing in real life? How tall can he grow to be when he grows up?"
"Seventy-five centimeters, and the average adult height is two meters."
Surprisingly normal. Yan Jue nodded and asked, "How do the people of the Stone Tribe eat? I read in their biography that they have always lived in abandoned mines. Do they eat stones?"
"Yes. The Stone Tribe obtains energy from various minerals. Ordinary stones can be eaten, but the energy they provide is measured in tons. The energy obtained from other minerals varies depending on the type of mineral."
This was not beyond his imagination. By the way, Yan Jue also thought of something else: "He can also eat jade from our world. What about coal and spirit stones?"
91 said briefly, "Okay."
After receiving the answer, Yan Jue's mind unconsciously flashed back to the image of Ah Qing eating a piece of coal, making a mess, and then raising her hand for him to clean it. He silently suppressed his adorable heart. As for whether his imagination and the actual eating method were the same, he would know by observing later, without having to ask 91.
He was more interested in: "Do all the Stonemen use emojis to express facial expressions? Or is it just the cubs?"
A two-meter-tall giant stone man with rows of cute emojis on his face is so incongruous and challenging. If the Stone Tribe ever gathers, the scene will be unimaginable.
However, Yan Jue guessed none of them correctly.
"No. The emojis on Ah Qing's face were set by me to facilitate his communication with the players. They are exclusive to the kindergarten. When he returns to his own plane, the emojis will disappear."
“The emojis are based on the culture of the player world.”
Yan Jue: "...So I still have to say thank you to you?"
91 immediately replied: "You're welcome."
No matter how hilarious the emoticon setting is, 91's brilliant stroke does make the communication between Yan Jue and Ah Qing smoother, and makes it easier to observe Ah Qing's emotions. It's well worth the thank you.
Just as he was about to shut up, Yan Jue suddenly thought of a very serious question: "Are the Stone Tribe divided into males and females?"
He didn't find any gender characteristics when he looked at Ah Qing. Could it be that it was different from what they knew?
91 said calmly, "There is no gender distinction among the Stone Tribe."
Yan Jue: "...Then how do they reproduce?"
"This is the secret of the Stone Tribe. Will the player pay 100,000 points to obtain the answer?"
"Thank you, no thanks." He wasn't that curious.
After asking the basic questions and gaining a more detailed understanding of Ah Qing, Yan Jue didn't ask any more questions. Regarding the cub itself, 91's ability to answer these questions was already a great honor. Everything else required his own discovery and exploration; there were no shortcuts.
Now that the matter at hand had come to an end, Yan Jue could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer feel uneasy about the "surprises" of the new cub that broke the normal development.
I don’t know if Nor Zhuofeng went to find Aqing. Thinking of this, Yan Jue looked at the positions of the three people. After finding that they were all in Aqing’s dormitory, he went to knock on the door.
He also had something he didn't have time to explain.
After entering Ah Qing's dormitory, Yan Jue had only two big words in his mind: dilapidated.
Zhuofeng's cave could at least shelter him from the wind and rain. It was carefully selected for him by his parents, and it had all the necessary things. However, Ah Qing's dormitory could only be described with words like shabby and dilapidated.
Because of the perspective, the three walls he saw were made of unknown black stones. Since each stone was irregular, the walls were full of gaps of various sizes. Some of them were so unique that they had to be supported vertically, which made people worry that they would fall down at the slightest touch.
The roof was even worse, covered with nothing but branches and no cloth. The inside of the house was also clean, the ground was uneven, with many regular and flat marks left by machines.
Yan Jue couldn't help but worry about such a house. Would it really be safe in rainy and windy days? Would it really not collapse if someone accidentally rolled over and hit the wall?
Wait, the biography says that Ah Qing lives in an abandoned mine, so it seems that he doesn’t have such concerns.
In the dormitory, Noel, Zhuofeng and Aqing sat together. When they saw that the teacher didn't say anything after coming, they understood what was going on.
To be honest, the teacher's reaction was exactly the same as when they first arrived. In fact, because they were in kindergarten, when Ah Qing invited them for the first time, they almost didn't dare to come in, for fear that they would accidentally bump into something and a stone would fall from the house.
Ah Qing knew nothing about it. Following Nuo Er and Zhuo Feng, he happily invited Yan Jue to visit his house: "Teacher, you are welcome to be our guest."
After communicating with Noel and Zhuofeng, he understood why the teacher had no physical body and could only speak from the sky.
"I built this house myself!" Ah Qing said proudly, "I saw that other people on the planet live in square things, so I should live in this thing called a house like them. Teacher, is my house beautiful?"
It was confirmed that Ah Qing was indeed secretly observing other races on the planet.
Yan Jue praised in a gentle voice, not at all guilty, "Beautiful! This house is very artistic and high-end. It is a one-of-a-kind existence that no one can copy. It belongs exclusively to you, Ah Qing."
Three slashes appeared on each of Ah Qing's cheeks, representing shyness.
Noel and Zhuofeng: "..."
The two looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they had long known about the teacher's ability to praise people and had experienced it themselves, when they witnessed the scene of lying and telling the truth, they were still quite shocked and a little respectful.
It’s really not easy for the teacher.
However, what they didn't know was that after praising people, Yan Jue quickly called 91 and asked if there was any risk of A Qing's dormitory collapsing.
91 said: The dormitory is just a replica of the cubs' living place. Even if there is a risk, it will never happen in the kindergarten.
Yan Jue's concern was unsettling. He cleared his throat and mentioned the purpose of his visit: "Ah Qing, something has happened in my world. It's very urgent. I will tell you in detail what it is. What I mean is that I will be very busy for a while, and I won't be able to keep an eye on the kindergarten to take care of you and ensure your needs."
"I was thinking that if you and Noer Zhuofeng are willing, you can come to my world when you have nothing to do and stay with me. That way I can take better care of you."
Noel needs a lot of sleep and also has to go back to accompany his parents; Zhuo Feng has advanced smoothly, and even though he looks like a child, it cannot hide his cultivation level of the Demon Pill Stage. For the sake of opportunities, he must go to some ruins and secret realms to hunt for treasures and improve his strength; thanks to his favorability, Ah Qing will start classes tomorrow.
He himself also needs to start practicing.
So for convenience, he paid some points to 91 and shared the option of whether to come to reality with the three cubs. If they wanted to come, 91 would send them directly to him without his consent.
After explaining this, Yan Jue said to Ah Qing, "Zhuo Feng and Nuo Er can go back to their world now. They have things to do and won't stay in the kindergarten all day. Ah Qing, you'll probably be alone in the kindergarten for a long time from now on. Whenever you feel bored, you can come to my world to play, okay?"
He was not worried about the two "old hands in kindergarten" Noel and Zhuofeng. What he was most worried about was the ignorant Ah Qing.
As expected, both cubs accepted it without any problems, and were even happy about the increased freedom. Ah Qing, on the other hand, was a little confused by the long sentence. He paused for a long time before asking blankly, "Can I still go back to my house?"
"Of course you can." Yan Jue said patiently, "As long as you want, you can return to the kindergarten, come back here. I suggest you come to my world, but I'm afraid you'll be lonely."
Ah Qing's eyes turned into mosquito coils: "What is loneliness?"
Yan Jue was speechless, thinking about how to explain, when Nuo Er continued: "Loneliness is when you are alone all the time. No one talks to you, no one plays with you, and you are alone in everything you do."
This understanding, unique to the cubs, was somewhat superficial, yet it was also the most intuitive explanation within their cognition. Yan Jue smiled, without refuting Noel's statement.
"I was like that on my planet." Ah Qing tilted his head, suddenly realizing, "So I was always lonely. I actually wanted to get to know other people on the planet, but every time I got close to them, I felt like they gave off an aura that made me feel extremely uncomfortable. It was so annoying."
"But the aura that the teacher and you exude makes me feel particularly comfortable."
Hearing this, Noel raised his arm and sniffed himself, then went to sniff Zhuo Feng. Bewildered, he said, "What's that smell? I don't have any smell. Is my nose not working? Zhuo Feng, do you smell it?"
“It doesn’t taste right.”
Zhuo Feng and Yan Jue's voices rang out at the same time. Zhuo Feng smiled and said, "Teacher, go ahead."
"What Ah Qing felt was most likely someone else's emotions, or someone else's emotions towards him." Yan Jue guessed, "We're not from the same world. There's no reason why Ah Qing would smell something on us."
At this time, the benefits of reading novels become apparent.
Noel, who was not very smart and always straightforward, opened his mouth wide: "Wow, brother, you are so awesome."
Ah Qing's eyes turned into two hollow circles, and he replied blankly: "Ah, so that's how it is? Then I'm so awesome, hehehe."
Noel: “…”
Yan Jue accidentally learned about Ah Qing's talent and took note of it before returning to the topic: "So, Ah Qing, when you have nothing to do and feel lonely, would you like to come to my world and play?"
"Yes." Ah Qing nodded without hesitation: "I will listen to the teacher."
"good."
Yan Jue bravely tapped Ah Qing's head, and then witnessed with his own eyes the emojis on the face of the person being touched on the head slowly switching between starry eyes and a shy expression.
With a knowing smile, Yan Jue stopped disturbing the three kids' chat, gave them some instructions, and then exited the game.
Time waits for no one, so he needs to get to work. First, he needs to grind out his points. He's been spending a lot these past two days, and his points have plummeted, which is heartbreaking. Ah Qing has just arrived, and out of curiosity about their new partner, Nuoer and Zhuofeng will probably be with each other this afternoon, so he'll have time to wander around busy areas.
Tomorrow, he would have to stay in the car and move quietly, otherwise, he would not be able to explain why a cub suddenly appeared next to him in front of everyone.
As for training, it will of course start tonight and coordinate with the subsequent scoring actions.
The author has something to say:
Ah Qing: I’m so awesome hehe o(*////▽////*)q
Some cute people said that the chapters were garbled, but I didn’t see any garbled characters when I checked the background, and I didn’t choose any messed up settings, so it could only be that Jinjiang is crazy again ORZ
