Chapter 36 Goddess
Original post: Junyi No. 7 Dora vs. freshman Zhou Jiu, are you done winning?
[Don't even mention it. Luckily, the odds on Dora were low, so I only bet 10 Star Coins. I envy Zhou Jiu's win.]
[I was thinking of him as a dark horse! Out of support for a newbie, I bet 100 star coins on him, but I never expected to be the real dark horse this time!]
[Has anyone dug up any information about Zhou Jiu? Could you summarize it for me? I keep seeing him in posts lately, what's his background? Is he trying to create hype?]
[The person upstairs is wrong. Look at the recent news reports about freshmen on the StarNet military-related section, and compare them with those entertainment reports that don't get much attention. You'll then know who the real deal is.]
Let me explain this to everyone. I've compiled information from online schools and all publicly available data.
Zhou Jiu was born on October 26, 1061, during the New Star Era. At age 10, he attended the Tenth Elementary School on Star E. At age 12, he attended the junior high school affiliated with the Third Military Academy on Star E. That same year, he participated in scavenging on a desolate planet. By age 14, he had earned the rank of First-Class Sergeant Major. At age 15, he attended the senior high school affiliated with the Third Military Academy. After graduation, he applied to the First Military Academy, but due to affiliation issues, his original rank was cancelled.
[An ordinary government-sponsored student, whose original place of origin is unknown, currently registered on Planet E. Aside from attending school, he spends almost all his time serving on a barren planet. His minimum required service period is until the New Star Era 1091, when Zhou Jiu will be 30 years old.]
[The above information is based on recent online posts and has been verified to be true. It's truly a tragic story for this woman. If she had connections, then hopefully there will never be anyone with connections in the world.]
[Going to a desolate planet in your teens? People still go to desolate planets? Isn't this place already abandoned?]
...
It was past ten o'clock when Zhou Jiu logged off. She had played several matches. The first one, Dora, was the most difficult to deal with and required her to devote more mental energy to her. Later, there was a turtle-shell-like mech with no blind spots in its defense, which made her fight for quite a while.
The small energy entity that Zhou Jiu was playing with by pulling her hand interrupted his review and reflection on the battlefield.
Zhou Jiu squeezed the little energy body's hand, then took out an energy stone ore from the sealed box and placed it on the table.
The little energy being quickly stopped playing around with Zhou Jiu, floated towards the ore, hugged it, squatted on the table, and started gnawing on the energy stone.
After chatting with Chu Zhao for a while, Zhou Jiu glanced at the time again. It was already 10:20 p.m., which was past her sleep time. However, she still hadn't trained her mental palace for the day. Zhou Jiu focused her mind for ten minutes and continued to search for her past memories while training her mental power.
The alarm clock rang, and Zhou Jiu opened her eyes, feeling somewhat lost. She had just touched the mental energy center that was locked by the door at the very center, and knowing that it couldn't be resolved in a short time, Zhou Jiu quickly fell asleep, unaware that the number of posts about her on campus continued to increase.
The next day, after Zhou Jiu returned from her daily run outside, she greeted C-582 and saw Wu Ke'er looking at her in the lobby, as well as Molly, whose eyes were slightly evasive.
"Good morning," Zhou Jiu said first.
Good morning, Zhou Jiu.
Wu Ke'er came over to Zhou Jiu and took his arm: "There's a social event at YiYi Changba 107 at 6:30 this evening. Why don't you come with us?"
Molly nodded, tilting her head back and saying somewhat dryly, "It looks like a lot of fun, let's go together."
"Just a social event?" Zhou Jiu gently tapped Molly's forehead, amused. "Your helpless expression is too obvious."
"I…"
Molly had barely uttered a word when Wu Ke'er interrupted her with a cough, "Oh dear, Zhou Jiu, you'll find out when we get there. We promised someone we couldn't tell you beforehand."
“Alright, although my gut feeling is that this isn’t a good thing,” Zhou Jiu said.
After checking the talisman in the room, Zhou Jiu left the energy body in the room and went to find Lin Xiu and Sun You.
"Have you decided on the candidates yet?" Zhou Jiu bought another barbecue sandwich for breakfast.
“We still have Zhang Ji, right? I’ve already asked Zhang Ji, and he can join our team. However, he wasn’t fully awake when we were running, but he can come over for training this evening,” Lin Xiu said.
"We currently have two melee fighters and two ranged fighters. I think we also need a defensive mech, a tank. We have two candidates here," Sun You said, explaining her final choice as the most suitable candidate.
"One is Fang Cheng, and the other is Lin Xiu's roommate Chu Ming. It's just a bit troublesome. During the summer camp training before the new recruit training, Fang Cheng often teamed up with Ye Yang, Feng Ziyue, Lu Qi, Baird and others to participate in the simulation competition."
After finishing his barbecue sandwich, Zhou Jiu slowly sipped his freshly ground soy milk and said, "Yes, they're a team. I had made an agreement with Feng Ziyue before, so I asked her after I heard about the registration. They're basically a fixed team. So, what about the other person you mentioned, Chu Ming? How about it?"
"It's a long story," Lin Xiu sighed.
"How exactly is it so complicated?"
Lin Xiu's expression was unusual, and Zhou Jiu was also a little curious. She remembered Chu Ming, a person with an extremely wealthy appearance and good fortune, and she didn't feel that anything was wrong with him.
"Chu Ming, well, how should I put it? Anyway, I asked him, and he said he'd have to win over his goddess first, otherwise he'd feel awkward if he agreed to date her but didn't succeed," Lin Xiu said, his gaze fixed on Zhou Jiu along with Sun You's.
Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow, roughly understanding what Lin Xiu meant: "You don't mean to say that I'm his goddess, do you?"
The two nodded, and Lin Xiu continued, "It's quite obvious. Chu Ming often mentions you in class, and he often talks about the moves you make when you fight, and then he wants to imitate them. Actually, his characteristic in mecha combat is that he can survive and is very tough. In historical battle videos, his movements are also very unpredictable and distinctive. Now, his attempt to imitate you is a bit awkward and incongruous."
"This shouldn't have made you look like that, right?" Zhou Jiu said, a little curious about what else was going on.
"Well...we're roommates, and things are usually fine, but they keep talking about you, and their admiration for you is a bit excessive. I'm usually very quiet, but when they talk about you, it feels like they're talking about a stranger. You're really not living up to your reputation."
Lin Xiu's words made Zhou Jiu roll his eyes again, expressing his contempt. "I'm fine as I am, okay?"
"…cut."
"And he often buys a lot of things and sends them over. Although it's out of kindness, I always feel uneasy taking them. When I try to refuse, he tells me not to be polite, which makes me feel a bit awkward," Lin Xiu continued.
