Chapter 33 Chapter 33 "Spark".
The college's curriculum continues to progress.
Because Tao Ying was recovering from an injury, she was an intern in every computer class.
After the last battle, Zhou Zhen and his team probably saw the strength of Tao Ying's team and no longer dared to underestimate them. They began to analyze their fighting style and engaged in serious back-and-forth battles.
The difficulty of the match increased dramatically. So far, that draw was the best result for Tao Ying's team.
Two months of training passed unknowingly.
The renovation of the school dormitory was completed, and other students moved back to the dormitory building one after another.
However, Tao Ying never mentioned moving back.
"Shadow, should we go back to the dorms as well?"
Lin Biege asked hesitantly. After all, even though she asked this, she had already been bribed by Xiaoye's food.
She didn't want to go back to the Jite Academy where the food was inedible!
"I'm really sorry for the cafeteria lady's concern, but... I can't go back to the hard life of drinking nutrient solution anymore."
Nan Gua embraced the kittens and puppies in the yard, crying and sobbing.
"How can I leave my furry little treasures! No, kittens and puppies, Mommy loves you all! Mommy wants to live here!"
And Tao Ying's complexion became rosy thanks to Xiao Ye's diet.
Although my physical condition is still F, my heart rate no longer soars to aerobic state after walking a few steps.
Tao Ying: "The school dormitory does not allow you to bring smart butlers. For my health, I want to stay here."
"It's human nature." "Me too."
"Then we...?" Lin Biege and Nan Gua looked expectantly.
"—Let's live here for the four years of college."
Tao Ying concluded.
…
After the weeds in the garden were cleared, everyone agreed that for practicality's sake, vegetable planting should be prioritized.
Lin Biege renovated the swing and pavilion in the garden.
Nan Gua took in a stray cat and a stray dog in the yard. After catching them and sterilizing them, he kept them in the yard.
The orange cat is named: Fried Tabby Big Bread II.
Referred to as big bread.
Names for white Labradors: King of Tail Pulling, Doraemon, Chanter of Dark Hell.
Referred to as Doraemon.
The above two names were chosen by the two residents of this house after several days of careful consideration.
When the chip was implanted, the staff looked up from their desk several times because the name was too outrageous, and finally couldn't help but take a photo with the two people who were handling the procedures.
As for who these two people named the names, Tao Ying did not reveal it.
…
The first batch of cherry tomatoes in the vegetable garden have ripened, each one is bright red and very cute.
Lin Biege and Nan Gua picked some tomatoes, washed them, put them in a blender, blended them into a paste, and added some sugar to make tomato sauce.
Chester Star's specialty tomato noodles! Sweet and sour! Purely natural and nutritious!
Lin Biege and Nan Gua were eating their own masterpieces in the garden pavilion.
The years are peaceful.
The big bread landed steadily on Xiaoye's round head.
Xiaoye was swayed left and right by its slightly indescribable weight, and the chassis made a creaking sound.
Too heavy.
The bread is fluffy and solid.
After a while, Xiaoye showed a (-_-;) expression, returned to the room, and opened a can for Big Bread.
Big Bread meowed and jumped down, then went to eat the can.
After finishing his meal, Doraemon wandered around the vegetable patch and took a bite of the vegetable while no one was paying attention - Xiaoye's robotic arm reached out.
"Doraemon, this is specially grown for Xiaoying. You can't eat it. It will make you indigestible if you eat it."
Lin Biege sighed: "Xiaoye, Doraemon doesn't understand human language either. What's the point of talking to it..."
Xiao Ye turned around and said in a serious voice, "You too, Ms. Lin Biege, please don't waste tomatoes. There are better ways to use them. Ms. Nan Gua, please supervise Ms. Lin Biege and don't let her do anything bad."
Lin Biege leaned back and said, "Why do you call Yingzi Xiaoying, but call us the cold 'Ms. Lin Biege' and 'Ms. Nangua'?"
Nan Gua: "Maybe it was Xiaoying who activated it, so Xiaoying has higher authority?"
Lin Biege: "Is this true? No wonder I always feel like it's pretending not to hear me when I call it..."
Xiaoye turned his head silently, and the chassis hit a rock with a bang.
It climbed the steps and wiped the dirt off the chassis on a rag.
Enter the house.
"Xiaoying, it's time to have a healthy meal."
Tao Ying: "Ah? I still have work to do. Besides, sometimes you don't have to be so healthy. Taste is also important..."
Xiaoye showed a cold (=_=) expression and handed over the plate.
"Vegetables help maintain your energy and provide vitamins and other nutrients you desperately need right now."
"I……"
"Please eat. (=_=#)"
A hash mark representing anger appeared on Xiaoye's screen.
Tao Ying silently took the plate and began to eat the green food.
"This is the first time I've seen someone Shadow can't refuse."
"Xiao Ye is so terrifying!"
The two teammates were lamenting that someone could actually make Tao Ying lose face when suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Huh? Who is it?" Lin Biege sat up.
The security of this community is very good. Whenever you buy something, it is delivered by a robot butler, and there are very few living people coming in.
Unless it is something very valuable, you need to sign for it in person.
"Shadow, did you buy anything?"
Tao Ying poked her head out of the house with a pale face. Seeing Xiao Ye's disapproving expression, she swallowed a mouthful of vegetable leaves with difficulty: "Ah, yes, please sign for it for me."
The package was too large to be carried in from the first floor. Tao Ying opened the window of the second-floor game room. The deliveryman's small mecha forked the box, lifted it to the height of the second floor, and slowly carried the box in through the window.
One after another, rectangular boxes larger than Lin Biege's body were carried in by the small mecha.
There were also some small odds and ends packed in boxes. Tao Ying pointed to the empty room on the second floor.
"Put it here. Lin Biege, Pumpkin, come and help unpack these. I bought two for you."
"Huh? What? Food?"
"What else is on your mind besides eating?"
"Work to earn money to buy food."
“…”
"So what exactly did you buy?"
Lin Biege excitedly opened the package, and a smooth egg-shaped cabin appeared in front of them.
They couldn't help but burst into exclamations.
This, this is Garcia Electronics’ latest gaming pod!
Cutting-edge technology, high-definition image quality, and even with a wireless connection, it can achieve the first-level low latency of the interstellar holographic game standard. If it is a brain-computer interface connection, the latency can even be reduced by 100%!
But because it uses advanced technology, the price is not cheap, costing 200,000 star coins each.
Their rent is only 5,000 a month.
Lin Biege's hands were shaking.
"You, you mean, this gaming cabin is bought for us?"
Tao Ying nodded.
"Where did you get the money?" Lin Biege thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Did you buy it with the money from your physical surgery? You can't spend this money carelessly!"
Tao Ying smiled slightly but did not answer.
"It's not a waste of money, it's an investment. Anyway, let's give it a try first."
After saying that, Tao Ying lay down in the capsule-shaped game cabin first, and Lin Biege and Nan Gua also lay down in curiously.
After stretching his legs, he was able to fit it in completely. Lin Biege was very excited.
Because of her height, she sometimes had to curl up when sleeping in her bed at school. Shadow even took her height into consideration and bought her a large play pod.
Lin Biege was very moved, but the next second, her instinct began to flash a red warning light.
No, with Shadow's personality, it is impossible for him to do a business that will lose money.
This matter is not that simple!
Lin Biege's eyes suddenly became sharp. She slowly sat up from the game cabin with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
Sure enough, Tao Ying showed her signature smile before she cheated someone.
“It’s not free.”
"Just a reminder, registration for the Interstellar Mecha League is about to open. Auditions will begin in three months. Come back and join us."
"Oh, don't worry, I'll pay for the registration fee, you just take care of the competition."
Lin Biege & Nan Gua: "..."
Sure enough, free is the most expensive.
Tao Ying opened another small box that had just arrived, and it was full of games.
Lin Biege was still struggling: "Chester Star is full of masters, we can't even pass the auditions?"
"If you don't want to participate, I certainly won't force you. So I'll just return this game cabin? Oh, what a shame! I bought a lot of fun games, like the holographic food management game," Tao Ying emphasized the word "food," "I heard the taste simulation in it is amazing, and there's also a cat simulator and a love experience..."
Tao Ying flipped through the game box with a look of regret on her face, and very deliberately revealed the cover, which made her two teammates stare blankly.
Tao Ying took out his laptop and was about to click on the return button.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Lin Biege stretched out her hand with difficulty. At this moment, the only word in her mind was "delicious food".
"I'll participate! But I can't guarantee anything. Even if you lose the first game, you can't withdraw from the game cabin..."
Nan Gua was holding the "Cat Simulator" beside him. In it, one could raise three hundred kinds of cats and pet them however he wanted.
There is also a series of "Dog Simulator", "Rabbit Simulator", "Goose Simulator", "Crocodile Simulator" and "Cockroach Simulator".
Nan Gua picked up Yugi, his eyes shining. "I, I will try my best! Even if I can't win, I will lose in an artistic way!"
Tao Ying smiled slightly.
"We won't lose. We'll make it all the way to the finals."
"For the next three months, we will undergo intensive training to prepare ourselves."
·
Now that the game has arrived, of course I have to try it out first.
The three of them connected the head chips and lay down in the game cabin.
"Which one to play first?"
Tao Ying held up a game box with a mecha cover.
It was written in red flame art with the words "Spark 10th Anniversary Commemorative Collector's Edition".
"Spark", which Lin Biege had heard of a little, is a mecha simulation battle game known for its realism.
I heard that some military academy students would use this game as part of simulation training.
It turns out that the purpose of buying the game cabin was to train to drive a mecha in the game.
Lin Biege was speechless: "Shadow, you don't even want to act anymore, right? You want to start mecha training now?"
“Today is just an experience.”
"I don't believe you!"
A flash of light invaded their minds, and the feeling of weightlessness instantly brought them into the world of the game.
Countless beautiful scenes flashed before my eyes.
They hung in the atmosphere, seeing a blue planet and the fresh air filling their nostrils.
This is different from the air on Chester Star, it is mellower and has a sweet taste.
The vast and stable ecosystem, rivers, oceans, peaks, valleys, and magnificent or winding scenery make people fascinated.
Nan Gua: "This, could this be..."
"Blue Star."
The narrator answered her question.
"Blue Star, the home planet of mankind."
"The ecology here is in perfect harmony. The glaciers in the far north are crystal clear, and schools of whales swim in the vast ocean."
"Beneath the rain, the vast forests are filled with hope, and the species on the grasslands are constantly nurturing vitality."
"It has been a beautiful home for generations of humankind."
Then, the narrator sighed deeply and quietly.
"But it's also a dream we can never return to."
The moment this sentence ended, the picture stopped for a moment.
After endless silence, huge flames erupted in the centers of various continents on the blue planet.
The war instantly returned civilization to its primitive state. Not only that, because of the devastating attack, the earth's ecosystem is no longer suitable for human habitation.
At this time, the surviving humans had no choice but to leave their homes where they had lived for tens of thousands of years and fall into a long period of space wandering.
At this point, humans came to Chester with the remaining flame of hope.
The soft singing continued over and over again.
May the stars last forever and the flame never go out.
After a shot of driving in empty space, the game title slowly appeared in front of the three people.
——Spark.
