Chapter 046 First Contact
A pair of light-colored pupils opened before his eyes, emitting the same icy blue hue under the light.
Rustle, rustle.
Tall beauties sat up, stood up, and stretched from their sofas, their long hair in shades of silver, white, champagne, light blonde, and platinum swirling in a halo of gorgeous foam.
One, two, three might be fine, but suddenly, hundreds of equally stylish strangers stood up throughout the space. They brought with them an extremely alien and terrifying feeling, as if a group of puppets had suddenly opened their eyes and stared intently at the invading enemy.
"Alas,"
Chen Xiao'er couldn't help but cover her face, and suddenly heard Senior Sister Ling's gentle greeting coming from above.
"Good morning, Xiao'e."
In just a few words, the strange feeling in my heart suddenly disappeared in an instant.
Chen Xiao'er let out a breath.
She raised her head and saw Senior Ling gracefully unfasten her belt and descend like a fairy in the woods. Her toes tapped lightly on the tile floor, and her soft cheek brushed against the girl's hair.
"M-Morning, Senior~"
Xiao'er pinched her fingers, put her legs together and stood up straight.
Ta-da, ta-da.
The senior student's shoes made a pleasant sound, which mixed with the light music.
She took a few steps closer, took Chen Xiao'er's wrist, and then walked towards the long table inside the room.
At the same time, the beautiful woman who was suspected to be the president also got off the sofa with several particularly tall young men and women and sat down at the table before them.
One, two, three.
Including the president, a total of six unfamiliar student union members sat together, with the distance between them being about the width of an arm's length.
Senior Ling's seat is the seventh.
After she sat down steadily, Chen Xiao'er found that there were no extra seats, so she had to stand aside awkwardly.
Senior Sister Zero was about to speak: "You can..."
"Don't let her sit on your lap, Zero, that's not right."
Miroku whispered something over the intercom, and Zero immediately shut up and gracefully stood up from his seat. "Please sit down."
How can I get the senior to give up her seat?
Xiao Ai waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no need, I'll just stand there~ Hello, seniors!"
She hurriedly saluted the seniors around her, feeling a pang of anxiety at the attention of so many people. Furthermore, they were all so tall, each one as beautiful as a comic book character. The pressure was overwhelming!
Since entering the student union, Chen Xiao'er felt that she was not like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, but a little gray duck mixed in with a group of swans, deprived of even the sense of familiarity between the species.
If Senior Zero hadn't been around, she would have said "Sorry, sorry, I came to the wrong place" and run away as soon as she opened the door.
Zero didn't force her, she stood beside her naturally, and the two of them stood together at the edge of the long table.
The person behind the desk didn't raise any objections, and neither did the other student union members.
There was only scrutiny and staring in everyone's eyes, without any positive or negative emotions such as ridicule, encouragement, hesitation, etc.
The silence in the room didn't last long, but it made Chen Xiao'er feel suffocated.
She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and quietly poke the senior sister's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Senior sister... do you want to introduce me?"
She didn't dare say much, but her meaning was very clear.
Since the senior student wants to bring me to the Student Union and said that she has some work to assign, it is most likely some kind of recommendation.
Some of the "high-end" universities in Blue Star's works always have certain clubs. These club-like student organizations do not recruit members publicly, but only implement a membership recommendation system internally.
The senior student probably wanted to recommend me to the student union.
For new members, the first meeting with old members is very important.
Chen Xiao'er now very much hopes that her senior can introduce her to the student union members in a "normal" way.
She doesn't even expect to officially join now. She just wants to be able to put her name on the team and do some odd jobs, and learn something from the senior students.
After all, the gap between her and the existing members is too big.
Not to mention their academic performance, physical education grades, and extracurricular talents, just their height, appearance, hair... even their eye color is different!
In movies and TV shows, the male protagonist joins a brotherhood, and the female protagonist joins a group of girlfriends only needs to wash, cut, and change clothes.
Chen Xiao'er stole a glance at the handsome and well-built president, then looked at the other members around her who all had the aura of "noblemen" and "ice beauties," and couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart:
Even if I ordered the same uniform as everyone else, I still wouldn't be able to fit in!
"Need not."
Zero took her hand in a friendly manner and shook it gently in front of everyone: "We have discussed this before, and you are a very suitable companion."
"That's right."
This time it was the president who spoke. She was wearing light blue lipstick, but this strange color did not make her lips look discolored or strange. Instead, it gave them a natural crystal-like sheen.
The president's light purple pupils were fixed on Xiao'er's face, giving her the illusion of being targeted by a sniper rifle.
Her voice was also neutral and slightly hoarse. "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Eh, can I join the student union?
Chen Xiao'er was a little afraid of being too sentimental, so she asked softly, "Excuse me, can I join the student union?"
The president shook his head slightly, his serious expression appearing cold. "You want to join the student union? No, you don't meet our standards at all. Besides, we're already full and are no longer recruiting new students."
"Is this the Apostle Plan you understand? No, you cannot become an Apostle. All Apostles must clearly understand the truth of this Plan and be willing to sacrifice for it before becoming an Apostle. Furthermore, at this stage of the Plan, no new living entities will be added."
It turns out they are recruiting temporary workers.
"Okay, I understand~" Chen Xiao'er agreed awkwardly, thinking that the Student Union of Taoli University did have a bit of the feel of a closed club.
They even gave up recruiting an entire class of new students because of the large number of students.
But thinking of this, Chen Xiao'er became curious again.
She seriously asked the president, "If the class is full, why are you still willing to recruit me? I might not be as talented as everyone thinks. My college entrance examination score was only 522."
522 is not low, but it is definitely at the bottom of the rankings at Taoli University. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason for the senior to recommend me.
If I were to speculate from the darkest perspective, perhaps the student union lacks someone who works tirelessly and endures all kinds of bullying without complaining. But firstly, Senior Sister Zero is definitely not that kind of person, and secondly, I'm not that weak.
The president blinked, as if he hadn't blinked just now.
"It's simple. You're the perfect match for Zero. She needs your help to better complete her tasks and create better results through her hard work. The school is also willing to increase its investment to build a beautiful campus."
"It's simple. Your superpowers are perfect for the Apostle—you and Zero have already established a certain degree of connection. With your help, the Apostle Project will be more likely to succeed. To save humanity, even a one percent improvement is extremely meaningful."
Chen Xiao'er listened carefully, and although she understood every word, she couldn't figure out who the president was mocking when she put them together.
President, what you actually want to say is "Who told Zero to like you and choose you to work with him?" or "Professor Miroku is messing around and using funding to force me to support you two studying together", right?
But it was useless to think about it in her mind. Chen Xiao'er calmed down and asked sincerely, "President, is there anything I can do for you?"
Come on, whether it’s cleaning, helping to mail and reply to letters, operating online accounts, ordering lunch boxes and managing accounts... For the sake of my senior and credits, I can accept it all!
"Yes, there happens to be the first mission today."
The president was also a straightforward person. She stood up alone and motioned Chen Xiao'er to follow.
Chen Xiao'er hurriedly followed, and she and Ling walked behind the president.
The door in front opened automatically, and the two followed the president into a relatively small room.
In fact, this room is larger than the average living room, but it seems much more cramped compared to the stepped classroom that is spacious enough for group yoga practice.
As soon as Chen Xiao'er came in, she heard a low-frequency buzzing sound. Only when she saw the computer screen next to her did she realize what was going on.
This is the computer room. The president wants me to help make a webpage?
"Look there."
"Okay!" Xiao'er looked at the computer and the screen began to change.
The image displayed above is—the school gym?! And why are all my classmates there? Yes, they are my freshman class!
Chen Xiao'er quickly plopped down on the table, staring at the screen, looking at each one, all of them were familiar faces.
Everyone did not exercise on equipment, but lined up in columns and divided into groups of four or five people under the arrangement of the physical education teacher and teaching assistants.
She wasn't surprised that the student union was "monitoring" the gymnasium, but she immediately thought of something.
It is now 6:30 in the morning. The school announced that physical education class will be at 9:00 in the morning. So why are other students gathering in the playground while I have no idea about this?
If I didn’t see the other notice myself, why didn’t Lin Lang and the others tell me?
"Xiao'er?" Ling pinched her fingers.
Chen Xiao'er murmured, "Why didn't anyone notify me... Don't I have to go?"
"Yes, you will come with me."
“?!”
Xiao Ai turned around suddenly and found that her senior sister's expression was very natural, as if she was saying something that was a matter of course.
Maybe Professor Miroku or the Student Union could have changed some of the grouping arrangements?
If you look closely, you'll see that everyone is gathering here to form groups. Maybe it's the kind of study group that my senior and I are in.
Since my senior and I have already been grouped together, it seems unnecessary to go there in advance to divide the groups. We can just attend the class as usual at 9 o'clock.
After figuring this out, Xiao'ai lay back on the table and began to carefully observe her classmates' movements.
The teachers' grouping should follow a certain pattern, as if each team has particularly tall and strong students grouped together with thinner or even disabled students.
For example, Xing Shuyao, who is in a wheelchair, has three sunny and muscular guys as his teammates. You can tell at a glance that they are carrying him to play basketball.
Although the monitor cannot see faces clearly, I believe everyone is very excited and happy now, right?
After all, they all like physical exercise, and the process of overcoming difficulties with friends will turn into beautiful memories.
I really want to become stronger and enjoy the youthful time of sweating with everyone~
A longing smile appeared on Xiao'ai's face.
"You want to go down and join them?"
"Um!"
She was staring at the monitor when she felt a light touch on her shoulder.
Senior Zero patted her left shoulder and pointed to the window. "Then let's go over there now."
"Okay~"
Chen Xiao'e thought she meant to go outside via the stairs, and quickly straightened up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she asked the president, "President, what did you need me to do just now? Can I do it after class?"
The president stood by the window. She turned her head coldly and grabbed the edge of the curtain with one hand: "We can do it now. I need you to jump from here."
"The test starts now. I need you to jump from here to the designated location."
Jump from here?
Chen Xiao'er didn't react, she watched helplessly as the president pulled hard -
The curtains fell, revealing the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind.
No, that's not a floor-to-ceiling window, it's the door of an airplane cabin?!
The buzzing and banging noises finally revealed their true nature. This was not the movement of the computer case at all, but the humming of the engine!
"Xiao Ai."
The senior student opened the cabin door with a smile, and the wind blew her long silver hair.
Ling hooked his palm towards her in the wind: "Let's dance together."
Boom, boom, boom.
The cabin hovering in the air made a low roar, and below was an endless sea of clouds.
