Chapter 45 Bad Luck Talisman
The three of them ate their meal while playfully bickering, and at the same time, they came across a live stream about the trip to Spu Star on the StarNet.
During the live stream, Colonel George, Instructor Xiao Wen, and Ye Yang were still participating in the intergalactic exchange activities, which had not yet ended.
The three looked at each other in bewilderment. Lin Xiu remarked, "Goodness, so that's what they've been busy with."
Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing, and continued eating.
After dinner, Zhou Jiu watched the live stream and browsed the StarNet before discovering that the online discussions about her were extremely lively.
"They can just participate this afternoon, why bother inviting us? I don't want to go." Lin Xiu rolled his eyes as he looked at the negative comments online.
“She must have some use,” Zhou Jiu continued, glancing at the negative comments about her online. He was in a good mood chatting with the three of them, and a wicked idea popped into his head.
Zhou Jiu made a few moves on the StarNet, posted a picture of a rune, and also posted a message on the StarNet: "Those who curse me should be careful, the rune has a bad luck effect, and I am not responsible for the consequences."
Zhou Jiu saw the following comments in order.
[Are you online? Why aren't you participating in the Spus Star forum? Please let me know.]
[Playing tricks? I'm already cursing him. Some country bumpkin from Planet E is using Ye Yang's popularity to his advantage. If he's so capable, why doesn't he participate in the mecha competition online in a few days? What a country bumpkin.]
[Little sister, don't worry about the negative comments.]
Wow, runes! I bought a rune that boosted mental power back then. I didn't know there were also unlucky runes. Can I buy one?
…
Zhou Jiu was browsing content on the StarNet when a video call suddenly rang on his personal computer. After seeing who it was, Zhou Jiu glanced at Sun You and Lin Xiu, then retreated to his room.
"Tch, it's just dating, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Lin Xiu noticed Zhou Jiu's gaze and said after Zhou Jiu left.
“Not everyone is as thick-skinned as you,” Sun You said quietly as she ate her meal.
"Oh? Our cute and adorable Youyou, don't be like Zhou Jiu and tease me, it will make me sad." Lin Xiu said coquettishly. With his baby-faced appearance, his coquettishness didn't seem out of place.
"Oh." Sun You chuckled and continued eating, clearly enjoying Lin Xiu's charm.
Zhou Jiu wiped his mouth, tugged at his hair, and then opened the video call: "Hi."
Chu Zhao: "Good afternoon. I saw the news online, well done."
Zhou Jiu thought for a moment and asked, "You mean the talisman on the StarNet? Didn't you not believe in that?"
Chu Zhao chuckled: "But it's useful, isn't it? I believe you wouldn't just spout nonsense."
Zhou Jiu curled her lips: "You trust me that much? Tsk tsk, I never would have guessed."
As Zhou Jiu spoke, she suddenly felt a pang of longing. Even though they had just seen each other yesterday, she said directly, "I miss you."
"Yes, I miss you too."
After a moment of silence, Chu Zhao coughed slightly and said, "There's a campus exchange event this afternoon. You should learn about Sprup High School beforehand; you might need it for the interview."
"Okay, sure." Zhou Jiu nodded and then asked.
"As for interstellar communication, it's just for publicity. Don't look at the comments online; if you don't plan to advance further, it doesn't really matter," Chu Zhao said.
Zhou Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile, saying, "How could I not want to climb the ranks? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier."
Chu Zhao smiled and changed the subject, "The preliminary elimination rounds are about to begin. Have you bought your nutrient capsules yet? Send me your address and I'll buy them for you."
Zhou Jiu shook his head: "No need, I've already bought it."
Zhou Jiu looked at Chu Zhao without saying anything, then added, "Actually, don't believe the posts on the forum. I'm not short of money."
"...I know, I just wanted to buy you something so I could experience the joy of feeding my girlfriend." Chu Zhao smiled. Those who survive on the desolate planet probably weren't so poor that they couldn't afford a nutrient tank.
"Tsk tsk, Senior Chu, so you like playing raising simulation games, huh?" Zhou Jiu grinned mischievously.
A slightly wicked and mischievous expression appeared on Guai Guai's face. Chu Zhao moved his hand, his smile deepening, and sighed, "What a pity, you're not by my side."
Zhou Jiu rolled her eyes. She was clearly more relaxed on the StarNet than when she was actually with him: "Don't think I didn't see your hands darting around. Are you trying to pull my hair again?"
Chu Zhao smiled broadly, "Baby, you're so cute."
Zhou Jiu choked slightly, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and his voice rose a few decibels: "What did you call me?"
“Let’s play a pet raising game, baby,” Chu Zhao said, mimicking Zhou Jiu’s tone.
"Senior Chu, I'm going to expose your true colors on the forum," Zhou Jiu snorted.
"Good boy, kid. Wait until you're an adult. Your senior will be waiting for you." Chu Zhao said quickly and hung up the phone.
Zhou Jiu frowned, looking at the phone in his hand, and scrolled back to the message: "You hung up on me?"
"No way, you just said one sentence and you're already running away and surrendering? Senior Chu, tsk tsk, you're no good."
Zhou Jiu wasn't angry about being hung up on; the two of them still had a pleasant conversation.
Chu Zhao called again very quickly.
Zhou Jiu answered the call without waiting, amused, "Who's flirting with whom? I'm the one being flirted with, and I haven't even said anything. Why did you hang up?"
"Nan Yu suddenly came over just now, and accidentally clicked the wrong button when hiding the screen."
"...You're not angry, are you?"
Zhou Jiu glanced at him sideways. "Honey, what do you think?"
Perhaps because the small, half-baked shop had been open for so long, the habit of speaking to customers had been retained in daily life.
"Although you weren't angry, I still apologize for hanging up on you. I won't do it again next time," Chu Zhao said earnestly.
"It's okay. If you feel bad, just treat me to a barbecue sandwich."
Zhou Jiu didn't take it seriously. She didn't really believe in promises, and it was just a trivial matter that shouldn't make her angry.
"You don't need this. Your breakfast is already so greasy. It's better to eat something lighter usually." Chu Zhao refused without the slightest hesitation.
Zhou Jiu snorted and said in a spoiled tone, "I ate my first meal on Spu Star today, and my mouth is so bland."
"Good boy, children shouldn't use foul language."
Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled as he argued, "Senior, this isn't swearing. You should learn some history. In the ancient history of the ancient planet Blue Star, there was a dynasty called the Ming Dynasty of China. They entered the era of swearing, adding 'bird' to everything they said. It was a common expression, not swearing."
"Don't try to justify this with history; it's just a vulgar term in modern times. Anyway, send me your address, and I'll send you some of your favorite hot sauce and other snacks."
Zhou Jiu smiled and said, "Great! I think I'll be staying here for quite a while, so this seasoning is just what I need."
"Yes, I promise it will all be food you like. Also, remember to study the lessons your teacher taught you."
"Okay, I'm going to look up the history of Spee High School now, bye."
The two quickly ended the call, and Zhou Jiu shared Chu Zhao's suggestion with Lin Xiu and Sun You. The three of them then did their homework online together.
