Chapter 91
"Based on guest Zhou Jiu's vital signs and the detected lower leg bone injury, and according to the analysis of the guest's past performance and audience preferences in the online videos, we have another method that can achieve our goal while also allowing..."
"Then let's do it this way."
Zhou Jiu walked out of the wheat field, his face marked with faint red marks from the short wheat awns, some of which were still stained with a little blood.
[Haha, what a pitiful girl, but she actually looks kind of beautiful with those scratches.]
[Mutant plants were once used in the war against alien beasts, but their unpredictability led to their eventual abandonment.]
The technology is now quite mature, enabling intelligent control. However, another reason for this is the high cost and the fact that it cannot be reused.
After Zhou Jiu came out, he picked off the wheat awns stuck to his clothes, glanced at the little dragonfly, and muttered to himself, "This model is quite realistic, with varying heights. This kind of modeled plant would probably be very useful in the alien beast war."
Actually, Zhou Jiu felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn't felt this awkward piloting the mecha during live streams, but now she was all alone with her electronic-eyed dragonfly. There was no one to talk to, but she couldn't remain silent; it was incredibly stifling. A few days ago, she didn't want to talk to anyone, but now she was starting to miss her friends who used to confide in her every day.
As she walked forward alone, she suddenly thought of Chu Zhao, wondering how his mission was going. Due to a severe shortage of personnel, the military initially recruited students from the third year who had met the academic requirements. Of course, Zhou Jiu also knew that a large part of the reason was that the First Military Region had found a new direction for expanding its territory: finding stable energy mines and then mass-producing sensor-equipped mechs. This would prevent a large number of mech warriors from becoming unable to operate their mechs flexibly by the age of 30, thus avoiding the situation where most warriors would retire at 35, resulting in a shortage of personnel that would prevent space exploration and expansion of the Federation's territory.
Regarding the earliest news of the spread, Zhou Jiu sometimes wondered what would happen when the Federation finally discovered it was a huge lie.
But sometimes you can't have it all. Right now, she misses Chu Zhao, Lin Xiu, Wei An'an, Qiao Shiyi... and also her family.
Suddenly, Zhou Jiu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looking at them with a slightly confused expression.
[A fierce woman shedding tears? But Zhou Jiu, with her face covered in blood and eyes brimming with tears, actually possessed a certain indescribable charm, and a touch of pitifulness.]
Zhou Jiu is so cute, he looks so pitiful, I want to cuddle him.
[For the first time, I felt that Zhou Jiu had become less sharp and more obedient.]
Zhou Jiu was originally a cute-looking person, but his eyes are usually quite determined, which makes him look sharper. This softens the impression that his cute appearance used to give him. Now, when he looks confused, he does look like a primary school student.
[Are you all discussing Zhou Jiu's appearance, but I'm the only one who noticed something's off?]
[What the heck? What's that flying in from the sky?]
Zhou Jiu looked at the large lump that had appeared on the ground, then glanced at the sky with a slightly bewildered expression.
"This thing can actually fly?"
Zhou Jiu's expression was slightly blank. Even if she only lived to be ten years old on Ancient Blue Star, that's common sense. She was born in the New Star Era 1061, which is commonly known as the late apocalypse of Ancient Blue Star. The early apocalypse was in the New Star Era 843-942. Even if you take into account things she might not have learned or know, there's no way this thing could fly.
[Quick, get out of the way! Why is Zhou Jiu just standing there like an idiot?]
[It seems like he's been drugged; Zhou Jiu's cheeks are flushed too.]
[The young actress Chu Qi is right next door. I've been looking forward to them meeting. The live stream is almost over, why haven't they met yet? I'm getting so impatient!]
[Is Zhou Jiu going to kick the bucket? There are hallucinogenic drugs and a giant, monstrous beast hovering in the air, ready to pounce. I feel numb.]
Zhou Jiu unconsciously sniffed the air, and suddenly various images seemed to pop into her mind, as if appearing before her eyes. The world was spinning and jumping, and many tiny Qiqi appeared before her eyes, circling and dancing around her. The surrounding scenery slowly seemed to resemble the sunset she had seen before, breathtakingly beautiful. Zhou Jiu felt inexplicably happy, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
But Zhou Jiu quickly closed his eyes and held his breath, clutching the copper coin in his hand, preparing to use it as a weapon. However, before he could throw the coin, a piercing scream came from the side.
Zhou Jiu opened his eyes, threw the copper coins towards the direction of the psilocybin, ignored the scenery, and ran quickly from the ground towards the place where the scream came from, following the path he remembered. At this time, Zhou Jiu also ignored the illogical ostrich flying in the sky, which he attributed to the hallucinogenic effect of the psilocybin.
[Ahhh, I'm so excited! I'm going to meet the two girls I like! I'm so happy!]
[A hero saved the damsel in distress!]
[Upstairs, shouldn't you be worried about the two girls you like? One is rolling around on the ground screaming, and the other has a monster on her head—both are in danger.]
But why is Zhou Jiu ignoring the strange beast above his head?
[I heard Chu Qi has mysophobia, why would she participate in a survival show?]
Chu Qi is Mo Wen's senior colleague at the company; I've never heard of them being friends. Perhaps it's a company requirement.
[No, no, I'm a fan of Chu Qi. I saw their photo together in one of Chu Qi's earliest posts on Xingwang. They were alumni and rehearsed their graduation play together.]
[Isn't Karen Mok only a couple of years into her career? Chu Qi graduated several years earlier than Karen Mok, right?]
【Ahhh, the live stream is almost over, and I haven't seen them meet yet...】
Another week to go, I'm so unhappy.
[The live stream will continue at this time tomorrow morning; there's no need to wait a week.]
[We'll have to wait another week for the latest update!]
[...]
The video cut off while Zhou Jiu was running at high speed, and the number of views reached a new high due to the bizarre performances of the two.
Qi Qi grabbed Zhou Jiu by the back of his collar with one hand, her eyes fixed on the large thing on his head. Every now and then, she would tug at Zhou Jiu's hair to remind him of the beast that was getting closer and closer to his head.
With a "whoosh," Zhou Jiu held his breath and threw the copper coin. The coin flew around and quickly cut down the surrounding spherical mushrooms. Then, Zhou Jiu grabbed the screaming Chu Qi and dragged her away from the area filled with the strong smell of spherical mushrooms.
Chu Qi's screams ended, but the hallucinogenic effects of the psilocybin mushroom lingered on her body.
Seeing the pain on Chu Qi's face, Zhou Jiu helped Chu Qi to a spot near a tree so she could lean against it and rest.
Afterwards, Zhou Jiu took out 30ml of small water droplets containing a stimulant effect, wrapped in a thin edible biological film, from the water bag hanging on his waist and fed them to Chu Qi.
