Campus romance?
A slight dizziness washed over her, and Alina felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. She reflexively opened her eyes and heard a soft sliding or rubbing sound.
it's over?
The lying position made Alina feel insecure, so she managed to sit up by supporting herself with her hands behind her back.
With a frown, Alina thought about the battle that was about to take place in the virtual world, and all she wanted was to go back.
Having been here for so long, this was Alina's first opportunity to spar with a "real person," and she didn't want to miss it at all.
Rewinding, Alina closed her eyes once more.
The dizziness she had felt earlier didn't return. When she opened her eyes again and saw the familiar living room, she knew she couldn't get in like this.
She stood up, braced herself against the edge of the virtual pod with one hand, and walked steadily out of the virtual pod.
A fresh, sweet aroma wafted to Alina's nose, and she immediately noticed the fresh fruits and vegetables next to the little cutie.
My stomach made a hollow sound.
She was hungry again.
No, she didn't actually have lunch in real life.
After taking a piece of fruit, Alina stood in front of the screen once again.
This time the display screen is a bit different from the previous ones. Except for the photo of the handsome guy with silver hair and blue eyes, which is normal, the other photos are flashing with white edges.
It's as if it's saying: Pick me, pick me.
Her fair fingertips, which were about to continue choosing a new owner for her little cutie, suddenly froze in mid-air as she remembered something.
The previous task card seemed to say: It is recommended to select everyone.
Alina withdrew her index finger, her right hand clenched into a fist and returned to its original position, lost in thought.
The advice should be taken into consideration, after all, we can't afford to lose a job with a lot of fur. However, "I said I would choose each one once, is there a time limit?" Alina asked, seemingly to herself.
Time limit?
Upon hearing this, the military official in charge of the live broadcast room replied, "Of course not."
Even when Alina was asked to select each orc, the word "suggestion" was added. Their military advocated that matchmaking should be based on mutual consent.
Seeing the affirmative answer on the robot's screen, Alina felt relieved and prepared to select a marshal without any worries.
A strong pull suddenly came from her right wrist, and Alina, whose magic was sealed, could not break free.
A fluffy, yellowish-brown tail with black stripes appeared before her eyes, and Alina, who was dominated by the urge to fight, finally turned her attention to the fluffy creature in the living room.
Have you had lunch yet?
Knowing that the furry creatures were intelligent, Alina spoke directly to the big tiger.
Seeing that Alina wanted to choose a marshal again, Lu Jingbai was momentarily taken aback by the sudden change of topic and nodded his fluffy head after a moment of stunned silence.
On the solid wood tabletop, the tip of the snow-white tail made a "bang bang bang" sound. Chu Yanbing thought to herself: Wasn't she going to continue choosing him? Did she give up as soon as the stupid tiger stopped her?
Feeling conflicted, Chu Yanbing didn't know why she hadn't stepped forward to try and win him over.
"That's good." After gnawing on the last bite of fruit in her left hand, Alina said to the tiger that was holding her tightly, "Tiger, let me go first, I still need to eat."
Thanks to the practical help from the holographic experience center, Alina is now slowly getting used to communicating in the new language she has learned, and Lu Jingbai can naturally understand her.
He couldn't possibly stop Alina from having lunch, so he could only reluctantly untie the tail that was wrapped around her wrist.
His human form and the marshal's human form are completely different in style, and Alina seems to really like the marshal's appearance.
He won't lose even in human form, will he?
Lu Jingbai was filled with anxiety, but he couldn't change anything and could only leave it to fate.
The tiger, as tall as a small mountain, bent its limbs and lay down on the ground, resting its enormous head on its wide paws, its brown eyes, bigger than copper bells, staring intently at the people standing and eating at the table.
Its thick tail slapped the ground behind it with a loud "thump, thump."
Alina finished her lunch quickly, and because she had taken a nap in the virtual world, she wasn't as sleepy as usual.
Moreover, this habit of taking afternoon naps was something she developed in this world. Before transmigrating, she had never taken an afternoon nap before, and there were many times when she chased evil dragons for days and nights, so she had a lot of energy.
Just as Alina stood in front of the screen again to make a choice, the tiger's tail, which had been used in the same way before, was stopped by a tiny cat's paw.
While the cat and tiger were "fighting," a golden lion's tail wrapped around Alina's wrist and even made her hand point at a photo of a blond, golden-eyed man.
It only managed to control itself for a moment, and just as the Marshal and General Lu were about to give it a mixed doubles beating, the tail with the little furball whistled and quickly escaped from Alina's fair wrist.
It seems like she was afraid of the cat-and-tiger doubles match, but actually it's because He Yanzhou also hoped that her choice was voluntary.
As the photo was zoomed in, three lines of text, exactly the same as before, appeared before Alina's eyes.
campus……
Looking at the words "campus," Alina recalled the thoughts that had appeared in the virtual world before.
"Why not just let this go?" Alina thought to herself, glancing at the expectant Golden Lion to the side.
"I've chosen someone else now, and next time I'll choose the same people and themes I chose before. What happens next... is it a continuation of the previous selection?"
I originally wanted to use the word "connecting spirit," but due to a lack of vocabulary, I had to use a word that didn't feel quite right.
On the robot's display screen, which was temporarily acting as a communicator, the smiling face was replaced by the words "It's coming next".
Alina was relieved to see the affirmative answer.
"Okay, I choose you."
Alina's tongue was a little out of control, and what she wanted to say to Da Jin was: Choose what you want.
As her shoulders slumped, Alina glanced to the side and saw a pair of icy blue cat eyes with a somewhat melancholy expression. For some reason, a sudden pang of guilt shot through her heart.
"Mua~" Alina picked up the kitten, planted a kiss on its cute forehead, and whispered, "Wait for me to come out, tonight..." to play with you.
The suspended position limited Chu Yanbing's front paws' flexibility. Seeing that Alina was about to expose their "cohabitation" on the live broadcast, the panicked kitten could only interrupt her with its tail.
Fortunately, his tail wasn't a real cat's tail, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to touch it at all.
Alina's rose-colored eyes widened in surprise, and she felt a familiar fuzzy touch on her lips. The words she was about to say were swallowed back.
Chu Yanbing knew perfectly well that once their cohabitation was exposed, netizens wouldn't care about their animal forms anymore. If she didn't stay with him, she would be in deep trouble.
However, he didn't want her to be with him because of external coercion; he hoped she agreed to be with him because she genuinely liked him.
What's going on tonight? Is Alina going to reward the Marshal? [Drooling emoji]
[Most of the time, I'll brush the Marshal's fur a little longer at night, since the Marshal and the others really enjoy Alina's grooming routine.]
[At first, Lu Shang looked so enraptured when Alina was grooming her, but now he doesn't seem so captivated. Has it just become a habit? [Envy, jealousy jpg.]]
After putting down the little cutie, Alina lay back down in the virtual reality pod. The familiar dizziness washed over her, and Alina skillfully opened her eyes.
Why is she still lying down?
Alina thought to herself, becoming aware of her current body.
"Alina, get up quickly, you'll be late for class!"
The clanging of metal seemed to be right next to her ears, and Alina's head was buzzing. She reflexively moved away from the source of the sound—the bed beneath her.
Alina drew back the blackout curtains, and warm sunlight streamed into the single bed, causing her to squint unconsciously.
"The first class is notorious for failing students; you'll get points deducted for missing it!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Ugh, I stayed up all night again last night!"
Three unfamiliar female voices reached her ears. Alina was infected by their anxious emotions, so she quickly got out of bed, followed one of them to wash up quickly, and then followed the group out of the unfamiliar bedroom.
Under the skillful guidance of their three new roommates, the four of them raced against time to make it to the first class and successfully checked in!
Alina stared blankly as she struggled to open her computer textbook with the help of her deskmate and roommate, speaking in an unfamiliar language filled with countless technical terms and theories.
Her mindset shifted drastically from "I'm studying hard" to "Forget it, it's not important" in just five minutes.
Because she couldn't understand the lessons, Alina focused all her attention on gathering information.
After her first experience in the virtual world, she learned a few things.
For example, use the explanation screen that indicates her whereabouts are uncertain to figure out her current identity, as well as the identities of her three roommates and her teacher.
[The teacher of mecha maintenance theory.]
Mech repair? What's that?
Alina's gaze fell on the optical computer projection on the desk, and looking at the familiar metal block, her thoughts quickly returned to a frightening incident from before.
The sudden appearance of the huge creature that day, due to its extreme danger, raised Alina's vigilance towards the other world to a whole new level.
So that was a mecha.
But how exactly is this weapon used?
Alina thought to herself, "It seems somewhat suitable for me now that my magic is sealed."
Looking at the textbook she had just thought was unimportant, Alina quickly changed her mind; she realized it was actually quite important!
She didn't plan to listen to the teacher's lecture because she really couldn't understand it; for someone with absolutely no foundation in the subject, the "question" was far beyond her syllabus.
She planned to read it slowly on her own, asking questions whenever she didn't understand something. After all, this world was virtual, and no one would really laugh at her.
Just as Alina was preparing to study seriously, a pleasant school bell rang in her ears.
No, class has just started!
Alina was puzzled as she looked at her textbook, which she hadn't even turned the page to yet.
After a quick thought, she found the answer relatively quickly.
In this fake world, time flows faster, which is perfectly normal.
So, if she didn't come here to study, then what was she here for?
A small, burning flame suddenly ignited in Alina's rose-colored eyes. Her plan had been interrupted, and Alina's heart was burning with anger.
"Let's go, let's go eat."
Alina turned off her personal terminal and obediently followed her new roommate.
"Ahhh! Young Master He is here again!"
"Young Master He is really handsome, and he has a completely different style from the CEO. Alina, don't you like him?"
"Not only is Young Master He very handsome, but his voice is also very pleasant. It's a real treat for voice lovers!"
like?
So, her enjoyable study plans were interrupted just so she could find a partner? And in the virtual world no less!
