Chapter 82 Future Interstellar Dragon Aotian
She pushed open the conference room door. The gentle light of an artificial sun streamed in from the window, illuminating the room. The beautiful girl smiled, her pointed ears trembling slightly.
"Hello, I'm Mu Lingnan, a new student. Thank you for your guidance."
Lei Zhe, the captain of the Ino Federal Military Academy team, was the first to stand up and applaud. Following his lead, the other team members also expressed their welcome to the new members with sparse applause.
"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is the top-ranked freshman at the Ino Military Academy. Our beloved instructor, An Nuoen, worked so hard to get him here. We've been ranked last in the Star Region University Alliance for three consecutive years. If we don't rise to the occasion, our school's reputation will be completely ruined!"
Lei Zhe stepped forward and gave a passionate speech, but among the dozen or so captains and deputy captains below, only Mu Lingnan, who had just joined, was so considerate that he showed a determined and passionate look in his eyes.
Someone lazily raised their hand and said, "Captain, we were only second to last a few years ago. Besides, isn't our Ino famous for raising children who live off the land?"
What does this mean? Reputation is nothing. Hasn't it been disgraced long ago?
That's true. It's because Ino only cares about money and not people that she can sneak in so easily.
Mu Lingnan nodded in agreement. She glanced over inconspicuously and saw that the person who raised his hand was a frivolous boy. He wore a ruby earring on his left ear and dressed in a unique way. It was impossible to tell what race he was from his appearance.
Lei Zhe paused, his face showing no extra emotion, just a little helpless: "Elton... Oh, forget it, let's get to know the newcomers today, remember not to forget the daily training."
"Lingnan," Lei Zhe looked at Mu Lingnan gently, "Let Xie Xiangchen introduce you. Since you're both half-elves, your personalities should be compatible."
In fact, there are big differences in personality between elves.
Mu Lingnan looked curiously at the boy standing nearby. He had the same pointed ears as hers, and his face was beautiful, like an elf, but his temperament was as calm as ice and snow. When their eyes met, the tips of the boy's ears instantly turned red.
"Hello." Mu Lingnan greeted warmly, and Xie Xiangchen couldn't help but blush.
He unconsciously lowered his eyes, avoiding Mu Lingnan's gaze: "Hello, I'm Xie Xiangchen..." He paused for a long time before finally uttering a few more words, "It's rare... to meet fellow tribesmen."
Mu Lingnan understood what he meant. Elves were inherently xenophobic, preferring to confine themselves to their own galaxy, guarding the World Tree in isolation. In fact, Mu Lingnan was also surprised to see such a rare half-elf on a planet so light-years away from the elven galaxy.
Because... elves are really xenophobic. If it weren't for Mu Lingnan's special identity, she might not even be recognized by the elves. That's right, the tribe members that Xie Xiangchen referred to were simply the fact that they were all half-elves.
Seeing Xie Xiangchen's embarrassment, Mu Lingnan took the initiative to take the burden of guiding the conversation. She smiled generously:
"I didn't expect this either. But it's great to meet my tribesmen. I was worried I wouldn't know how to integrate into the group."
Xie Xiangchen let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief. He smiled shyly and said, "Don't worry, everyone in the team is very nice."
"That's great!"
Mu Lingnan skipped and walked in front, while Xie Xiangchen, who was supposed to lead the way, fell behind, but he looked much more relaxed.
She moved lightly, like a fluttering butterfly, passing through the familiar training room and equipment one by one, with many thoughts running through her mind.
Although the performance of the Ino Military Academy in various competitions was poor, they were still willing to invest in hardware facilities. The facilities in front of them were basically the best models available on the market, although they were definitely not as good as those at Mu Lingnan's home.
The second-generation shelter area is indeed worthy of its reputation.
"By the way, Mr. Mu," Xie Xiangchen relaxed a lot after chatting all the way. He asked with a relaxed look, "Do you have an account for Star Ocean? A lot of our mental training is done in Star Ocean."
"Just call me Lingnan."
Hearing this question, Mu Lingnan's expression froze a little. It was over, but she continued naturally: "Star Ocean, of course I have it."
She said goodbye to Xie Xiangchen, turned around, and her face instantly fell.
It’s over, it’s over, forget about it.
"Star Ocean" is a popular game for all ages, jointly developed by the main races of each star region and known as the "Second World". What makes it even more popular among all races is that in "Star Ocean", you can improve your mental strength!
In the interstellar age, whether piloting a mecha or casting magic, everything is closely tied to mental strength. In interstellar, a person's future is, in a sense, tied to the potential level of their mental strength.
Incidentally, the four main races in the four star regions are the Celestials, the Elves, the Mermaids, and the Humans. Besides these four most powerful races, each star region also houses dwarfs, giants, vampires, and undead, though the latter two do not enjoy a good reputation in the interstellar world.
What worries Mu Lingnan is that "Star Ocean" is a game that only allows one person to bind one account. Due to the differences in each person's mental power ripples, it is impossible to make an identification error.
In other words, if she were to train in "Star Ocean", the account of Mu Lingnan that would be displayed would only be the one she used before. It would be ok if the character's appearance was a little fancy, but the important thing was that Mu Lingnan's identity would be exposed in minutes.
"System system."
"Hey, here I come!"
Although she knew the system was useless, Mu Lingnan still held onto a glimmer of hope: "System, can you help me modify my Xinghai account information?"
The system remained silent, trying to refine its words: "Host, although, the intelligent computer behind Star Ocean, I probably can't defeat it."
"Can't you communicate across time and space?" Mu Lingnan's pupils trembled.
"Host, everyone has their own expertise. I am really just an ordinary auxiliary system, sob." The system was hit hard and shed cyber tears in the void.
Mu Lingnan questioned from the bottom of her heart: "Then what exactly did you help me with?"
"I can help the host to chat and relieve boredom!" The system puffed out its non-existent little chest.
Mu Lingnan: ...
That was enough. She really shouldn't have any unnecessary expectations of the system.
The system still tried to struggle and restore its image in the host's mind: "Host, you can ask your brother. He has the authority to modify the account information."
Mu Lingnan was furious: "Then what's the point of me running away from home! That's a good suggestion, but don't suggest it again next time."
So, why are you quarreling with your brother? The confused system shut up silently, thinking that the well-behaved host at the beginning was still adorable.
"...In short, don't mention him!" Mu Lingnan didn't notice that the system had been making perfunctory "hmm" and "ahh" sounds to answer her closing remarks. She pondered and finally decided to ask her brother's deputy for help.
[I'm sorry, Miss, only two adults have the authority to use Star Ocean. I can't help you.]
Damn it! But for such a small question, Mu Lingnan was expected to lower her head and talk to her brother. That was impossible. She angrily replied: "Then I can delete my account and rebuild it, right?"
The other party was silent for a moment, then replied hesitantly: [Of course, I can, but Miss, you... please reconsider it.]
【Don’t think about it, I’ll apply now!】
Thinking about the achievements I have made through all these years of hard work, the beautiful house I have decorated, and the out-of-print clothes I have bought with a lot of money... Stop, I can't think about it anymore.
Mu Lingnan made up her mind, closed her eyes, and directly sent a request to delete her account to the intelligent computer Gaia. She immediately took off her gaming helmet and didn't even have the heart to read the reply. Her heart would explode if she looked at it any longer.
In order to soothe her painful heart, Mu Lingnan ordered dozens of interstellar takeout meals overnight, using delicious food to numb the pain in her heart.
But what she didn't expect was that the highly efficient intelligent computer Gaia did not process her application, but forwarded it to her brother Cecil.
Cecil's long, silver hair flowed like moonlight. His handsome face, as pure as the sun god's, was now filled with a trace of sorrow. His expression was filled with pity and melancholy. He asked the adjutant beside him:
"Why would Acacia rather tell you than tell me?"
Hearing this question about death, the adjutant tensed up for a moment. He weighed every word carefully: "Sir, perhaps the young lady has simply grown up."
"My friend also has a younger sister. At her age, she doesn't like talking to her family."
In a nutshell, the rebellious period has arrived.
However, the sensitive Son of God could not bear to hear these words. Cecil ignored his adjutant's words and said to himself, "The journey is so long, and Ino is such a cold and bitter place. My Acacia must have suffered a lot."
The young lady traveled on the most advanced starship, had the best food and accommodation, so how could she suffer? Moreover, as a well-known mixed military academy, although Ino was far away from the main domains of various stars, it was not cold at all with the support of various second-generations.
The adjutant was complaining madly in his mind, but his face remained stern, and there was no sign that he had a frantic heart under his skin.
Cecil replied to Gaia, asking Gaia to save the original data of his sister's account. Looking at the endless sea of clouds in front of him, he continued to ponder the reason why his sister ran away from home overnight.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.
But Mu Lingnan, who was missed by him from afar, was heartless. She ate a big meal with great enthusiasm and felt much happier. She felt refreshed when she woke up at night. Even though she received the news that another player from the Ino school team was retired early in the morning, it did not dampen her good mood.
Mu Lingnan recalled the teammates she had just met yesterday and couldn't help but doubt deeply whether it was really right for her to come all the way here and choose Ino.
That fortune-telling wizard, couldn't he have lied to her?
But now that she was here, even if the Eno school team was really terrible, Mu Lingnan would try to save it. Otherwise, how could she wake up her brother who seemed humble but was actually extremely arrogant and didn't listen to anyone?
The more I think about my brother, the angrier I get.
Mu Lingnan beat up the pillow as if it were his own brother. After venting his anger, he went out to class humming a song, preparing to participate in the first group training after joining the school team.
This was her first time entering the training matching mode specially designed for military cadets in "Star Ocean", and she must be a little excited.
