The idea of a living person with wings, a halo above their head, and the ability to fly and land normally is something that has been written about in the history of Kyushu, but seeing it with your own eyes is still quite impactful.
After all, so far, both instances of Future Star have been technology-oriented. The first one is similar to Future Star in terms of technology, while the second one, which is the one in front of us, has a technological level that is far superior to that of Kyushu. However, Cheng Zhu had considered people with mechanical wings and people who could pilot mechs, but he had never imagined that humans would actually grow a pair of giant bird wings.
In particular, the opponent's humanoid form was perfectly normal, completely contradicting the education Cheng Zhu received on Future Star—
The price birds pay for flight is thin, hollow bones, with the sternum and wings connected by the scapula, and powerful pectoral muscles. If humans had such large wings, their bodies would be torn apart by the sheer force of the wings during a flap, making normal flight impossible and resulting in an appearance far removed from that of a normal human.
Lost in thought, Cheng Zhu didn't have time to approach before the angelic nobleman entered the Chelsea neighborhood, getting further and further away from the two of them.
Just as they were about to disappear from sight, Cheng Zhu finally remembered what they had come for and hurriedly tried to chase after them, but Ya grabbed him: "Wait, you don't have an invitation certificate, so you can't enter the neighborhood where nobles gather."
However, Yara was too late, so Cheng Zhu still crashed face-to-face into an invisible transparent film.
It's just a simulated projection, there's no need to simulate the pain so realistically! Cheng Zhu felt as if his face was being crushed, his nose stung, and he almost burst into tears from the physical stimulation: "Didn't you say you were going to take me to see my guardian?"
"Didn't Christine already see it?"
Aya was somewhat puzzled. "It was that nobleman with the big wings. Christine was staring at that nobleman with her eyes wide open, how could she not see him clearly?"
What can you even see here?
Cheng Zhu hadn't expected the artificial intelligence to be so honest, only allowing her to look when it said it would, so she had no choice but to give up on exploring the topic further and shifted to another question that concerned her: "Those wings...were they also created through technological surgery?"
"That's a special effect I bought after topping up my account. It's essentially a rocket flight pack, but because he added an angel wings effect, it looks like angel wings flapping to others." Asahi kept his old tricks in mind. "Does Christine like it? If she does, she can buy it too..."
"So how do I complete the guardianship procedures?"
Cheng Zhu had lost count of how many times she had stopped the sales pitches for artificial intelligence. Putting everything else aside, this time she was genuinely tempted. If she could get her hands on that rocket backpack, she might be able to take it apart and see how it was made, how it could hold such stable energy in such a small backpack.
This time, Asia quickly helped with the process.
The guardianship process was much simpler than buying vegetable seeds. After a brief video conference, the newly arrived bird-winged nobleman agreed to become Christine's guardian, guaranteeing her upbringing until she graduated from school. In exchange, if Christine graduated successfully, she would need to work for his company for three years. During her guardianship, Christine could seek his help with any life problems she encountered.
However, the other party also suggested that Chengzhu should avoid contacting him unless absolutely necessary.
With the formalities completed, Chengzhu finally gained the right to view the other party's information. This nobleman, driven by his religious and idealistic aspirations, even changed his name to Gabriel, the name of an archangel in Christianity.
In addition, he was a graduate student at Slote High School, and becoming a guardian for new students was an extra way for him to earn social credits. If Cheng Zhu had known this from the beginning, he wouldn't have needed to sign a three-year "indentured servitude" contract after graduation, so the fact that the other party's contract mentioned "if Cheng Zhu graduates smoothly" seems to have completely disregarded the possibility that Cheng Zhu might not graduate.
Because no matter what, Gabriel got the credits.
Cheng Zhu couldn't help but sigh: The capitalists in this world are really too cunning! They had already gained a huge advantage, but they still took advantage of the information gap among the freshmen to exploit their value!
Fortunately, she wasn't a good person either; when she signed the contract, she was thinking of running away back to Future Star after clearing the dungeon. We were all equally bad.
By the time Chengzhu finished all this, it was already dinnertime.
To avoid receiving any news that might affect his appetite, Chengzhu decided to contact Gaowei after finishing his meal and go to the communal kitchen to have dinner first.
After the web projection ended, Cheng Zhu reappeared in the room, and Aya reverted to her semi-transparent ghost form in her eyes. However, this time, upon arriving at the communal kitchen, Cheng Zhu encountered a neighbor.
When she saw the other person, their information popped up in front of her.
Name: Ann Grace
[Age: Not open to the public]
Gender: Female
[Occupation: Not open to the public]
[Hobby: Not open to the public]
[Summary: Drug abuse, get out of Smart City! Member of the Sociology Reading Association]
[Social commentary: Not open to the public]
"Christine can also add a brief introduction to her personal information~" Perhaps Chengzhu's gaze lingered on the introduction for a little too long, Ya couldn't help but remind her in a low voice.
Although Aya's voice was very clear, the girl called Ann did not seem to hear Aya's voice.
After all, each AI is tied to a specific resident, and only the corresponding person can hear the AI's voice. Otherwise, if everyone played it aloud, the sound would be quite noisy.
