Chapter 286
Chapter 286
When KID was busy going back to take the exam, he was intercepted by the leader of Shuguang. How could such a thing happen that the champion team ran away from the celebration party? If it got out, would they still be able to save face for the Shuguang Alliance? Finally, Director Liu used his connections to contact the president of the Dawn Galaxy Mecha Weapon Design Association, and through negotiation, he shortened the review time. The review time could be shortened, but he couldn't help with the exam issue.
With the help of Director Liu, Ying Chenlin's test site was set at Mingguang Star.
Because of this, KID's plan to travel to the Aries Galaxy was ruined. After the celebration banquet, the group headed straight to Mingguang Star. As soon as the spaceship landed at the airport, KID and his group rushed to the test site in a hurry.
The propaganda director had to put his propaganda on hold for the time being. "Why are they in such a hurry? You don't need to help with the certification. There's plenty of time. Who of them did the certification?"
Director Liu didn't ask too many questions when he was helping. "Maybe some maintenance technician wants to take a cross-disciplinary exam?"
"How strange." He thought about it. Doesn't KID have that famous designer Yuan? Why is he in such a hurry to verify it? Boss Shen even postponed the matter of going to the Shuguang Resource Library to pick out the supernatural crystals. This is not like KID's style. He can actually delay the matter of getting the supernatural crystals again and again.
The propaganda minister could only wait until KID was free to come to the alliance headquarters before making any plans: "You're staying here for the next few days?"
"I won't go back to headquarters with you." Director Liu flipped through the information on the optical brain. "The Star Alliance has sent us the latest investigation results on Kronos. The team here will need the energy conversion crystal for their investigation. Chairman Li asked me to stay here to assist for a while... It's not about this matter. The chairman doesn't want to hold the celebration party in advance. The Kronos incident seems to be a bit tense."
The Dawn Galaxy Special Research Institute happens to be on Mingguang Star, and Director Liu stayed here to facilitate the handling of subsequent matters.
The Minister of Propaganda didn't talk to the other party for too long. The Dawn Galaxy spacecraft quickly returned to the Alliance Headquarters after resupplying at the Mingguang Star Aviation Station. This time, KID and Ji Feng performed well in the star field competition, and they still had a lot of things to do after they returned.
Due to Li Jingyan's special instructions, Director Liu did not dare to neglect his work and rushed to the Shuguang Special Research Institute without stopping.
In the conference room, members of the Kronos investigation team were having a meeting. Multiple star regions were working together to investigate the scene. Floating dialog boxes were connected together. At a glance, they were all high-ranking leaders or researchers of the Star Alliance. At this moment, everyone was reporting on the results of Kronos's tracing.
As soon as Director Liu entered the conference room, he sat down next to the director of the institute.
The meeting is summarizing the interim survey results.
After the Slared Kronos incident, the investigation of the wreckage in the Slared contaminated area is still ongoing, with Commander Wei and the Third Star Domain Border Army assisting on the scene. The subsequent analysis has been handed over to the pollutant research institutes in the major star domains.
The matter is urgent this time because when the investigation teams from various star fields were investigating some pollutants or contaminated materials in the Slared contaminated area, they found that energy reactions similar to Kronos were found in the border contaminated areas of each star field.
This discovery is too shocking for the Covenant's research on pollutants. Originally, in the Covenant's records of Kronos, Kronos evolved into a super S-level pollutant a few years ago. The witness was the mecha master You Su. Going back in time, the last time Kronos was spotted was more than ten years ago, when it was still an S-level pollutant.
Later, in a joint military exercise between the First Star Region and the Third Star Region, Lieutenant General You Yuying, a retired mecha division of the Third Star Region, dealt a heavy blow to Chronos, which was still an S-level pollutant. After that, Chronos appeared one after another, and the Third Star Region failed to capture them many times. The most recent reaction was a riot in the Slared contaminated area, which almost killed the Alliance mecha divisions who were performing Star Alliance missions.
The more Director Liu heard about the deeds of this pollutant, the more frightened he became. The pollutant that can manipulate time is only active at the border. If it appears in the internal peace zone, it will have a great impact on the survival of the citizens of the Star Alliance. "The result of tracing the source is that there are traces of Kronos' movement at the borders of various star regions. Does this mean that Kronos's activity area is very wide?"
The director of the institute said: "We have long speculated that it moves over a wide area. Our purpose in tracing its origin is to trace back to how it was originally born... This investigation found that its energy reaction appeared earlier than we estimated, and there were records of its activities fifty years ago."
“50 years ago!?” Director Liu was shocked: “We didn’t even discover such pollutants.”
"The amount of residual energy is very small. If Slared hadn't obtained a lot of data samples this time, we might not have been able to trace back so much information." The director of the institute looked quite serious. "And this is only the result of our comparison over the past 50 years. For a longer time, there are problems with data ambiguity or energy response deviation. The researchers are still making corrections, and the results are not out yet."
Every time this pollutant appears, it brings considerable losses to the Star Alliance. The latest tracing results show that Kronos may not have first appeared more than ten years ago... but exactly fifty years ago. This news is too shocking.
In the conference room, researchers standing on the stage were reporting relevant conclusions one after another.
…
"The disappearance of the cruise ship in the Nolan Galaxy in the fourth star field in the year 1221 of the star calendar."
"A riot in the polluted area of the Second Star Region, Keze Galaxy, in the year 1224 of the Star Calendar."
…
"The crash of flight K-UYT145 in the Dawn System of the First Star Region in the year 1234 of the star calendar."
Director Liu wanted to continue asking, but he was suddenly stunned when he heard the familiar Dawn Galaxy. He remembered the crash of K-UYT145 flight, which happened 13 years ago. This interstellar flight had an accident while returning to the third star domain. By the time the nearby mecha division was called up for rescue, it was too late. The flight was hit by a cosmic storm and pollutants, and all the crew members were killed.
"Aren't these accidents all accidents? How are they related to Kronos?" Director Liu asked carefully.
"We used to think it was an accident, until we detected Kronos's past movements through the border energy reaction, and then we investigated these incidents one after another." The director of the institute explained: "You have heard of the huge pollutant ice mound in Slarede. Kronos's ability is stronger than other pollutants. We suspect that these accidents were caused by its powerful lower-level driving ability to drive the pollutant attacks."
Director Liu's hair stood on end. He felt a little uneasy as he listened to the researcher on the stage continue to report. "Who is this researcher? How did he summarize so many incidents?"
"A researcher from the Fifth Star Region. Thirty years ago, a pollutant attack occurred at the Fifth Star Region Border Research Institute, killing a large number of researchers. This happened in 1217. This researcher is a survivor, named Shi Qingning." The director of the institute looked at the researcher who was summarizing the incident. "He was the first to discover the intersection of the incidents. He compared the research data with the attack on the Fifth Star Region Border Research Institute in 1217, and that's how we discovered the problem with Kronos' time span."
A few days ago, he had an intersection with this researcher, who asked him about the time when Mr. Qiu came to the institute. He seemed eager to know about Shi Xuejun's affairs, and recently he began to investigate the Koria incident within the institute.
Because of what Shi Qingning asked, the director of the institute was afraid of leaking things that shouldn't be said, so he didn't dare to agree to help, but went to investigate Shi Xuejun first. As the chief researcher, Shi Xuejun's file is protected by the Mecha Alliance and the Border Army, and her information is recorded as deceased. It is said that when the Border Army wanted to contact her family, they found that the information in her personal file was blank. The only family members were the late Major General Ying Lingfeng and Ying Songshan, the former head of pollutant weapons research in the Dawn Galaxy.
Now a researcher with the same surname Shi has emerged. The director of the institute can't help but become suspicious and has sent the relevant information to Mr. Qiu.
Mr. Qiu said that he would deal with the matter when he came to the institute and asked him not to make it public, but he still became curious about Shi Qingning.
"Did anyone die from such pollutants?" Director Liu asked cautiously, "Have the results come out?"
"We have not found any traces of its activities since the Slarede riot." The director of the institute came back to his senses and sighed, "But based on our current research conclusions, the probability that it is still alive is as high as 70%."

The parking fee at Mingguang Star's airport is too expensive, and the mechas damaged in the KID Star Domain Competition need to be sent back to the base for repair. After sending Ying Chenlin and others to Mingguang Star, Shen Xingtang first contacted the vice chairman of Mingguang Star's Mecha Weapons Association through Director Liu's relationship. After arranging the procedures for Ying Chenlin's exam, he handed over other matters to Huo Yan, the most reliable of the six people.
"I have also booked a hotel for you. It's near the test site."
Shen Xingtang patiently explained, "I have other things to deal with. I'll pick you up after the exams in a few days. You can have fun, but don't do anything that will make the news on Starnet, okay?"
Ji Qingfeng: "Don't worry, Sister Tang, we are the champions of the Star Domain Competition after all, and we still have our idol image."
"It's good that you know." Jiang Simiao walked forward a few steps, and did not forget to turn back and give a few more instructions: "Chen Lin needs to review these few days, so you should not be idle. I will send you the summary materials of the Star Domain Tournament later. Huo Yan, you should review them with them, don't be lazy."
After Shen Xingtang explained things to Jiang Simiao again and again, he took KID maintenance technician and others back to Sirius.
Ying Chenlin had very tight time to prepare for the exam. He started looking at the exam materials almost immediately after entering the hotel. His physical condition had not yet fully improved. Shen Xingtang repeatedly handed the medical report to Dr. Eric for review and confirmed that there was no problem before he felt relieved and allowed him to prepare for the exam.
But supervision was needed during the break, and this job was originally assigned to Huo Yan. Later, when the rooms were assigned at the hotel, for some reason, the person pushing the suitcase into the room became You Su.
The hotel had a double room, so Ying Chenlin had no chance of touching the suitcase at all. After arriving at the room, the seat by the window with a view of the scenery was left for him.
When Ying Chenlin came out of the shower, You Su was sitting casually on the bed, scrolling through videos that seemed to be videos of some auction.
When Ying Chenlin was browsing his light brain, he would occasionally look up and notice the man sitting opposite him, who didn't make any sound. When he finished reading the exam outline, You Su came out of the shower. The air was instantly filled with the fragrance of shower gel in the bathroom, but it was soon taken away by the fresh air system in the room and turned into the original smell of the hotel.
"I'm going to Huo Yan's place. What do you want to eat for dinner?" You Su picked up his coat.
Ying Chenlin paused: "You go and do your work, I will handle it myself."
You Su's gaze fell on his light computer, which seemed to stay on a certain page for a long time. He didn't say anything else and quickly left the room.
At dinner time, the hotel’s intelligent robot delivered the meal.
Ying Chenlin did not order any food, and asked in confusion if the wrong dish was delivered. The intelligent robot said that it was Mr. You who ordered it for him.
Most of the meals are desserts, which are foods that should be indulged in and not rejected.
Ying Chenlin did not refuse. After hesitating for a long time, he sent a message to You Su and then devoted himself to studying.
When You Su and Huo Yan came back after reviewing the game, the lights in the hotel room had dimmed. There was a person curled up on the bed by the window holding a laptop. He was not covered with a blanket and his breathing was steady, so he must have fallen asleep. He remembered Shen Xingtang telling him that Ying Chenlin's body had not fully recovered yet, and it was normal for him to feel sleepy or physically tired recently, and he would recover after a while.
He hung his coat casually on a chair and walked over to tuck in the quilt, which was pressed underneath him.
You Su reached out to move the quilt, but found that he couldn't pull it, as it would easily wake people up, so he had to go to the next room to get his own quilt.
But when he was covering the quilt, just when his hand approached the other person's neck, the latter seemed to move to the side following something, and his face rubbed against You Su's hand, and his warm breath sprayed all over You Su's hand. ①
You Su stopped moving.
They were too close, and You Su's fingers were pressed into the quilt on the side of his neck. The warm feeling seemed to crawl up along his fingers to the back of You Su's hand little by little. The wet and hot feeling became stronger and stronger, and it was an indescribable burning sensation.
In the dim light with his eyes closed, Ying Chenlin knew someone was standing in front of his bed.
The presence of the hand beside his neck was too strong. His mental power had been sharp recently, and he would occasionally wake up from his sleep. When You Su came over, he was already awake, but he missed the time to open his eyes. By the time he reacted, he had missed the time to "wake up".
The warm breath was so close at hand. You Su lowered his eyes and carefully pulled his hand out.
The person who was sleeping restlessly seemed to feel the presence of the quilt. He curled up wrapped in the quilt out of habit and moved a little closer to You Su. With this movement, the other person's upward hand collided with You Su's outward hand.
Through a thin layer of quilt, You Su seemed to feel a slight hard touch passing by.
Ying Chenlin's fingers were exposed on the edge of the quilt and lightly brushed against the back of You Su's hand.
With this touch, Ying Chenlin couldn't help but hide his fingers under the quilt.
You Su stopped pulling out and asked tentatively, "Ying Chenlin?"
Ying Chenlin did not respond.
It was too close to tell who did it on purpose.
You Su waited for a while and left the bedside.
After he left, Ying Chenlin closed his eyes, rubbing his hands under the quilt, and the tip of his nose seemed to be lingering with the breath of someone's spiritual power.
The Yuan that was placed in sleep mode nearby flashed, detecting signs of excessive activity from its owner in the quiet bedroom.
Yuan looked at the owner of the machine in surprise. It was not until midnight that it noticed that the breathing of the two people in the room had stabilized.
The next day was a rest day. When Ying Chenlin woke up, You Su was already in the bathroom washing up.
He sat up slowly, and when he saw two quilts on the bed, he was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
When You Su came out, his eyes kept on the other's hands. The joints were big and stained with a few drops of water.
When You Su looked at Ying Chenlin, he had already entered the bathroom, followed by the sound of him washing his face.
One day, Ying Chenlin should take the exam
I finished watching it intermittently.
While Ying Chenlin was studying, the other members of KID were also not idle. They all started observing the traffic in the vicinity, fearing that they would be stuck on the way to take Ying Chenlin to the exam venue tomorrow due to other things. To this end, Huo Yan specially rented a hover car, adhering to the rule of relying on himself for everything. As a result, when Ying Chenlin was about to go to the examination room the next day, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao overslept, and Lin Yao's navigation led them to the wrong route. When the car arrived at the examination site, there were only 20 minutes left for the start of the exam.
Because of this incident, KID and several mecha operators were shopping in a mall near the test site, when they were scolded by Shen Xingtang who was far away in Sirius over the phone. Because Huo Yan turned on the loudspeaker, Boss Shen's scolding was so distinctive that it was on the hot search list of the mecha deck area in the Dawn Galaxy the next day.
The video was only five seconds long. KID's four mecha technicians were wearing regular uniforms. Some of them were standing in front of a materials store in a large shopping mall with a huge flow of people on Mingguang Star. Team leader Huo Yan was holding a light computer. In the light computer video, Boss Shen had a serious face, and the other three were standing side by side listening to the training.
[It turns out that even champions get scolded by their bosses.] 】
[Just a few people?] Aren’t the sink and trace there? 】
[It makes me laugh to death. Why are they standing in the mall and getting scolded, and talking out loud? ? ? 】
[Captain Huo can’t be the only one being scolded, so let’s play it out for everyone to hear. 】
[I didn’t hear clearly what he was saying. Later, Captain Huo found out someone was watching and turned off the speaker. But it was hilarious. 】
Because of this incident, Shen Xingtang specially asked someone to contact the hovercraft and found a reliable intelligent driver to escort Ying Chenlin to the exam. He also strictly prohibited KID and several other mecha masters from squatting at the entrance of the examination room waiting for others, which was a shameful act.
Lu Xi: "Sister Tang is overthinking. We are not allowed to wait for others in the examination room."
People were not allowed to squat at the examination entrance, and as soon as their car stopped, they were driven away by the security robots of the examination room.
"This exam room is not acceptable. How can an exam room not allow relatives and friends to wait?"
Ji Qingfeng said: "Mingguang Star has many rules."
Jiang Simiao almost fainted when he saw the video on Starnet. For a moment, he didn't know whether to talk to Shen Xingtang or call Huo Yan to settle the account. In the end, he felt sorry for the money he had to pay for withdrawing the news, so he simply turned a blind eye and buried his head in the online store to count the money.
After the Star Domain Tournament, KID online store launched new business and a VIP system, distributing VIP cards based on previous consumption at the online store. This system was just launched and there were special discounts, which immediately stimulated regular customers of KID online store to recharge and upgrade. Frequent customers such as the purchasing teams of major teams, mecha divisions, and the Dawn Mecha Alliance Resource Bureau quickly got their hands on VIP, and some wealthy people even spent huge sums of money to buy VIP.
Brother Zhang's salary was raised by 200 star coins. When he saw it, he announced that he would resign from his post with Shen Xingtang. When the VIP system was introduced, he secretly told the Gale Maintenance Team about it, paid in advance to get a Black Gold VIP, became one of the top ten VIPs of KID, and received rich benefits for the top ten. After that, he put the matter of resigning behind him.
But Shen Xingtang's salary increase was not in vain. Since KID walked out of the Dawn Galaxy and became the first star field team battle champion, this living signboard brought a lot of business to his own online store. The daily page views of the online store increased several times, and the materials in the warehouse could not be sold out and there was not enough space.
Boss Shen cooperated with Jianheng Company to open up a new situation and prepared to open a branch of KID online store. He gave the important task of training new employees to KID's gold medal customer service Xiao Zhang.
"After the deal is done, the online store will give you dividends based on the share."
Shen Xingtang left a message to Xiao Zhang in his busy schedule: "Thank you for your hard work. Work hard and you will have a bright future."
Brother Zhang who heard the news: "..."
Does he care about that little bit of dividend? !
In their leisurely daily life, KID's team took advantage of the time when Ying Chen was about to take the exam to go shopping in the big shopping malls on Mingguang Star. Even the Star Network had tracked their whereabouts, and some fans even encountered KID buying clothes in a clothing store.
Ji Qingfeng is addicted to shopping. After he and Lin Yao discovered that a clothing store had a discount for buying multiple items, they bought several pieces of the same style in succession, calling them "brother outfits."
The clothes were delivered to the hotel, and You Su and Ying Chenlin each got one. Ying Chenlin tried them on as soon as he got them, while You Su threw them into the suitcase.
“When I gave it to Shen Lin, Shen Lin was quite happy, but Brother You didn’t say anything.”
Ji Qingfeng even observed what style You Su usually wore and bought the style he liked. "This man is so fickle. He likes different styles at different times."
When the team was having a collective discussion that evening, Ying Chenlin wore the discounted new clothes, and You Su also wore them.
Seeing this, Ji Qingfeng said, "Brother You, why didn't you tell me that you two were wearing them together? If I had known, Yaobao and I would have worn them too."
You Su didn't say anything.
Ying Chenlin: "Is this what you want to say?"
As a result, when the second stage of the exam was held the next day, all six KIDs wore discounted new clothes. When they arrived at the test site, the security robots kept staring at them for a long time, and no one knew what they were judging.
When Shen Xingtang finished his work and rushed to Mingguang Star, Ying Chenlin's exam had already gone through two stages. Because he had informed the people from the Mecha Weapons Association in advance, Ying Chenlin's examination review was very fast. After the intermediate designer examination review was over, the vice president of the Dawn Mecha Weapons Association personally went to the Mingguang Star examination site to give Ying Chenlin the examination questions. There were several more examiners than before.
There were more examiners, which made Ying Chenlin worried for a while, but fortunately he knew the answers to all the questions.
When he was leaving the examination room, a few examiners stopped him and asked some questions. They were very enthusiastic, so he probably didn't answer anything wrong.
The third stage of the exam review would take two days, so Shen Xingtang took advantage of this time to contact Director Liu to go to the Shuguang Resource Library to pick out energy crystals.
The Dawn Energy Crystal Resource Library is located in the Dawn Special Research Institute, which happens to be on the Mingguang Star. It only takes more than an hour to drive there by hovercraft. After contacting Director Liu in advance, a group of seven people arrived at the Dawn Special Research Institute. Director Liu took them through identity verification and entered the institute.
Researchers in research uniforms were coming and going in the special research institute. Many of them looked at KID Mecha Master, seeming to be curious about the new face that came in.
"There are many research groups in the institute recently, and the resource library happens to be near the experimental area. You will follow me and don't go to the wrong place." Director Liu specifically instructed: "The championship reward has been delayed for so long. If you don't redeem it, it will be difficult for Ji Feng and others to redeem the runner-up prize."
Lin Yao said excitedly: "Is it an S-level supernatural crystal that I can pick at will?"
Director Liu was really afraid that these bandits would destroy the Shuguang Resource Library, so he hurriedly said, "Two S-level ones! Just two."
The group soon arrived at the resource library.
There are many checkpoints and audits outside the Shuguang Resource Library. From the entrance to the location of the resource library, there are a total of 10 verification checkpoints. When they actually arrived at the resource library, KID and his friends discovered that the library was actually located deep underground, and every location was protected by a pollution interference system.
Ying Chenlin was observing the facilities around the resource library. When Director Liu opened the door of the resource library, they discovered that there were tens of thousands of supernatural crystals stored in it. Each supernatural crystal was stored separately. The shell of the smart safe was transparent, and there was introduction information related to the supernatural crystals on the side.
Director Liu knew that they were not interested in A-level supernatural crystals, so he took them directly to the S-level supernatural crystal area.
"Do all the supernatural crystals here record supernatural powers?" Ying Chenlin asked.
"The crystals on the left have been identified, while the crystals on the right have incomplete information." Director Liu suggested: "If you want to make mecha weapons, it's best to choose crystals with complete information on the left, which are not easy to damage. The Institute of Supernatural Data Information can also give them to you..."
Before he could finish his words, KID's mecha pilots had already gone in, and none of them turned back to look at him.
Director Liu: “…”
How did you come up with the idea of using S-level supernatural crystals as the champion reward? And you can just pick one from the resource library. Chairman Li is really a spendthrift.
Ying Chenlin saw his teammates walking towards the inner area on the left. He walked a few steps to the left and suddenly caught a glimpse of the colorful energy crystals in the storage store suspended on the right.
He stopped, thought about it, changed his mind, and walked towards the area on the side where the information was incomplete.
The author has something to say:
I’ll put the two-in-one up first, the additional chapter isn’t finished yet, I’ll update it later! ◎This◎work◎is◎made◎by◎
