Chapter 76 Endless Learning Journey (13) Jinjiang Exclusively Authorized First...
Ani has passed three weekly tests.
The content of the weekly tests was easy for her, and her name was at the top of Class 19, fluctuating between first and second.
The only other person who could compete with her was an omnic contestant.
The omnics were completely cheating in the exam. Annie suppressed her competitive spirit and did not quietly transform into a mimic of the omnics. She still remembered the two reminders from the angel - this testing area seemed to have an extremely important position for Sky Technology and even for the entire omnic race.
It is so important that even the "Mother Goddess" will pay attention to it.
On the day of the monthly exam, which started at 8:30 in the morning, Annie verified her iris as usual and checked the student information. The light screen in front of her started the exam countdown.
This screen cannot be seen by other people, which is why the seats are not separated from each other.
Ever since she sat down, Moka's eyes had been on her, but when Annie glanced over occasionally, Moka quickly lowered his head, twirled the pen with his fingers awkwardly, and stared at the ground, not meeting her gaze.
He has a simple mind, and every word seems to be written on his face, but he also has a childish temper.
Ani didn't say anything, and his eyes said things like "Come touch me" and "Pay attention to me". He just stared at her for a long time, and even noticed the comments:
"Ouch, there's a bat peeking at our tentacle girl."
"…Her ability to absorb knowledge is too strong. She has a tentacle holding the reader every day. Why don't I have such a tentacle in my office?"
"Give me one, please. I need it for my exam!!"
"I actually hate tentacles, they're so gross, but I can actually watch Annie's... They look too much like jelly, and I feel hungry, they feel so soft and bouncy."
"Since my heart is broken into pieces, it wouldn't hurt to give one piece to the little succubus, baby!"
"Although it's a bat, it looks like a good puppy who wants someone to touch it."
"The public screen is full of fans of Annie. You should also get to know the other contestants. Moka has no friends because of his destructive power. Once he scares someone, he will sweep them indiscriminately. It's like a hell scene. Only Nibao can make friends with him..."
"Friends? Friends with kisses, lip friendship? This way of speaking... are you also from the Fuji clan?"
"Either he's playing hard to get or he's deliberately seducing. He's ruined all the good women."
"The above makes me laugh. If you seduce someone, it's natural and proper. If someone else seduce someone, it's considered coquettish and cheap. You have two faces behind your little tentacles." ip Meng Enxing.
"? Know him? What is the second-ranked boss talking to an anonymous account about? He is so shameless that he can't even be seen by others. You can tell at a glance that he is a toxic person."
"Look at the questions! Since I started following her, I've never seen Nini not know anything!"
The picture zooms in a little and shifts to the title.
The live broadcast room had the perspectives of various hunters, and at this time, multiple perspectives were cut, and everyone's expression changed rapidly. Some were particularly shocked, while others looked at the screen repeatedly in disbelief several times, and then looked at their hands with a frown.
“!!!!” Exclamation marks flooded the screen like a flood.
The monthly exam topics are completely different from the weekly quizzes and all the daily lecture content. One contestant flipped through ten pages in a daze. There were thirty questions on each page, a total of three hundred questions, and none of them were the same as in the book.
Annie was also stunned for a moment.
This is no longer the same difference as in the book.
The content of the exam was extremely remote, tricky and weird, as if it was testing one's luck. Annie was born in a famous school in Xinghai, and she eagerly used more than a dozen tentacles and multiple brains to learn and process a lot of content, but the answers reflected in her heart were only a small half.
She silently returned to the first page and subconsciously glanced at the robot player sitting in front of her on the right.
Even the Omnic didn't move, just stared at the light screen.
He's not searching for the answer.
Annie glanced at the nineteenth question, which was about psionic energy. This kind of question could not even be found on StarNet - she had paid to search for it in more than a dozen paid knowledge bases.
The content is pitifully small.
Sure enough, after a brief search, the intelligent machine couldn't help but reveal an obvious expression of "confusion". This obvious expression was revealed on the omnic, showing that he was really distressed.
Ani chose C in question 19.
Others could not see the answers she filled in, but because Annie's grades were so good, several A-level hunters could not help but glance at her, trying to see some clues from her face.
The teachers were on patrol and those who violated the records would face those giant monsters, so the contestants did not act rashly.
The first person to speak was She She. She hissed, glanced at the teacher and walked to the front. She quickly poked Ani's shoulder with the electronic pen and whispered behind her: "It's so difficult, can you do it?"
Ani gave her a few answers.
She She copied it immediately without considering whether it was correct. In her eyes, if Ani, who had such good grades, got it wrong, then no one in Class 19 would get it right.
Moka's pointed ears moved. He had very good hearing, but even though Sheshe asked a few questions, he was too hesitant to write anything down. Instead, he swung his tail back and forth, and then he stuck it to Ani's calf and rubbed it almost flatteringly.
Then he whispered, "Can I copy it?"
Ani said, "Whatever you want."
Moka rubbed her instep with his tail stickyly.
After Annie finished writing the questions she thought were correct, she returned the screen to the first page.
It was written in neat and standard universal language:
"How does a spirit evolve into an evil spirit?"
"The most common way for hungry ghosts to communicate is roughly..."
"The energy absorbed by the Split-lip Monster and the Mimic Monster is divided into..."
Annie stared at the question in a daze.
With the accumulation of tasks during this period, her exploration level has reached 35%, and the evaluation has become "You have learned to deal with most of your classmates", but at this time, she is still stumped.
Ani looked back at Ling Xiao's position.
Ling Xiao was completely distracted. He was sitting in the corner of the back row, looking out the window. A flower vine was wrapped around his wrist, and the electronic pen he was using to answer questions was shaking chaotically on the screen.
In Ling Xiao's live broadcast perspective, he drew a very detailed plant picture on the screen.
Then I drew a diagram of cuttings.
He also drew a diagram of grafting.
Finally, I drew a diagram of a tentacle grafted onto a rootstock. A tender little jelly tentacle was tied to the rootstock. The tentacle struggled and twisted left and right, but was firmly fused to the cross-section of the wood.
"...Is he thinking about something perverted?" The comment with the highest number of likes floated over.
"Ling Xiao has ulterior motives towards Annie!! I knew he was a bad guy!!"
"What's your intention? Are you researching new vine species and breaking the limits of self-pollination? Or are you planning to create a Cthulhu creature called a tentacle monster that can be grown?"
"…Even if I'm mentally prepared, I still change my attitude anytime and anywhere when I open the live broadcast room…"
"Tentacle tree..."
Ling Xiao stopped painting.
He looked at the screen, let out a sigh, quickly wrote down all the questions he could answer, then buried his head in the table, wearing his school uniform, without saying a word.
It seems that he has given up.
Annie was a little bit tempted to give up. She stroked the ring wrapped in cloth, and the amplitude of her movements became larger and larger due to her changing mood. The moment her fingertips pressed against the crystal of the ring, a cold wind suddenly passed by her ears.
Accompanied by a faint whisper: "...Don't touch..."
The ghost bumped into her chair.
Ani suddenly stopped and almost forgot about him. Before she could say anything, the ghost climbed up from the chair, his shoulders sank, and he lay on Ani's shoulders.
The other person's cold breath slid across his ears.
Like a boneless, wet water snake.
Ani adjusted herself for a moment, raised her hand and pinched her earlobe, and suddenly heard the ghost's low and ethereal voice: "What are you doing?"
"I..." Annie said only one word and suddenly stopped. She looked at the ghost, then at the screen, and untied the cloth wrapped around the ring.
Mr. Ghost covered his eyes, took a quick breath, and then moved closer to Annie's cheek. The chill penetrated his muscles and bones.
His existence can only be seen by Annie and cannot be captured by data. He adjusted his eyes to the fact that they could suddenly see, met Ani's gaze, and looked ahead hesitantly.
He seemed to understand what she meant.
A cool and gentle breeze blew across her fingers. Annie did not resist and looked at the back of her hand. She roughly imagined the other person's actions, and with that gentle force, the electronic pen wrote down one extremely special answer after another.
This question is detached from the existing knowledge of Star Network and is more like derivative data of some remote research.
But there really is a dead person who can speak beside her, an energy body who can communicate and is not as lethal as a vengeful spirit.
Finally, Ani was able to tell from his handwriting the era in which the other person lived - his common language was mixed with certain ancient vocabulary and usage.
Ani crossed out the obviously archaic words and modified them into more correct ones. He paused, the cold air brushed down his cheeks from his ears, and his voice went into his mind very softly: "I want... my body."
Body……?
Do you want to find a body for him? It would be better to find a better one, or the original body that was frozen on the garbage planet...
She thought about it without answering. The ghost sighed faintly and disappeared again.
Annie stopped writing. She had already written down the answers to all the questions and there were still five minutes left.
-
Ling Xiao left early.
The pain in his chest became more and more obvious.
Because he always complained of chest pain, Annie's little tentacles rubbed him for a long time. At first, there was a sourness and trembling in the heart, which eventually developed into an unusual pain in the chest. Only when the small tentacles were placed there to soothe it would the unusual feeling get a little better.
Only then can he settle down and watch something.
In the second half of the exam, the swelling and pain reached its peak, and he really wanted to reach out and rub it secretly...but he couldn't do such a weird thing in public. Ling Xiao did not wait for Annie to finish answering the questions and returned to the dormitory on his own. The vines crawled into the washroom of dormitory 404, locked the door, and wrapped a piece of vines around the door handle so that he could sense when someone was about to open the door.
He took off his uniform and unbuttoned his clothes in front of the mirror.
Generally speaking, specific scenes of washrooms, toilets... and the contestants' beds that are obviously personal and private content will not be broadcast. The camera from his personal perspective stayed at the door.
Most of the people who follow him are fans of Annie, and they are probably still watching what Annie is doing.
The buttons of the white shirt were unbuttoned, and the mirror reflected a snow-white neck, a delicate Adam's apple, a clearly defined collarbone, and then downwards -
It was covered by slightly damp cloth.
Ling Xiao was silent for a long time looking at the scene in front of him.
He took a deep breath and ran his hand over the slightly damp fabric; the juice had no color. Ling Xiao picked up the clothes and sniffed them, and a sour and sweet smell came to his face.
It tastes like green apple juice.
You have to smell it for a little longer before you can detect a faint scent of frankincense.
Ling Xiao felt a lump in his throat, as if a weight was pressing on his throat. He could neither swallow it nor spit it out. He touched his face with his other hand, and his palm was burned by the hot cheek.
...He is a vine, not a mammal.
Are tentacles mammals? Not at all! ...Or is he just ignorant? Is there really a tentacle race that gives birth to children in this way?
He covered his face with his hands, and his cold palms were warmed by the shame and humiliation that rushed into his mind. Ling Xiao washed his face with cold water and forced himself to calm down.
The swollen and painful area cannot touch clothes anymore, he has to solve this problem. Otherwise, Annie's little tentacles would reach out to rub his chest at any time...
The taste of green apple juice became stronger.
The Vine Tribe had never experienced anything like this before, and he had no idea that having sex with another creature would actually cause development again. Those transparent, juice-like crystal dewdrops seeped out as soon as they were rubbed. He wanted to squeeze out the excess with his hands, but it was too painful.
He could no longer bear the pain.
There was no other way, Ling Xiao had to wipe it gently with a soft tissue. His body was dazzlingly white, and he was wearing a coat as he stared in front of the mirror, trying to deal with these unexpected events that had broken into his life.
There was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Ling Xiao held his breath and stopped. The other people in Dormitory 404 walked through the frosted door. He heard the rustling of She She's scales as she walked. She took something and went out.
His tense body slowly relaxed.
Then there was another light footstep. He recognized it as the sound of embroidered shoes half walking and half floating across the ground. Luo Rou talked to She She who had gone out at the dormitory door, and her voice came over vaguely.
It seems to be saying:
"Ani... wait a while... do you want to go and wait..." and so on.
The two left.
His strength was almost drained away, and he leaned on the edge of the pool to relax for a long time, then looked at himself again and continued to process the situation.
The smell of apple juice became stronger.
This breath penetrated through the crack in the door and spread outside. The more anxious Ling Xiao became, the worse he controlled his strength, and the harder he tried, the more uncomfortable he felt. In the end, he no longer had the mind to care about the outside world and focused his attention on himself.
The vine holding the door handle loosened.
There were rustling noises and footsteps outside the door again, and suddenly, the doorknob turned.
Ling Xiao's mind went blank. He clutched the side of his school uniform to cover his body. He opened his mouth to say something, but there was a polite knock on the glass, followed by Ani's voice, "Ah? Is the door locked?"
"There's no one inside." She She was quite far away.
Ani seemed to think of who it was: "Ling Xiao?"
There was no movement from inside. She turned the handle again, reached her tentacles into the keyhole, pried the lock open with ease, and pushed the door open: "Are you okay? Are you..."
The sweet and sour smell rushes into my lungs.
Annie was stunned for a moment and looked up.
Ling Xiao's clothes were disheveled, looking like he had just put them on. He seemed uncomfortable, and his ears were burning red.
Ani closed the door casually, came in, washed her hands, and wrapped the ring again. She continued: "Why lock the door?"
"…Change clothes."
Her eyes fell on Ling Xiao's clothes.
Ling Xiao's whole body was stiff, and all he could hear in his ears was the sound of his own heartbeat. He swallowed dryly, his voice trembling slightly: "I spilled it on my clothes, accidentally." "Juice?" Ani smelled the smell, "Such a strong smell... From the cafeteria? There shouldn't be this kind of juice there, it smells delicious."
Ling Xiao stared at her blankly, his expression blank, a little out of his mind: "... Delicious... I think so..."
Ani looked at him without moving.
He was in a daze for a moment, and hurriedly made up: "It was all spilled, I didn't drink it."
"Where did it come from?" Ani narrowed her eyes, stared at him and asked, "There is no other place to supply food. Is someone trying to be nice to you? It's dangerous here. You have to be more vigilant when you are outside."
She took a few steps forward, trying to see where the smell came from. Ling Xiao almost couldn't control himself and stepped back. His back pressed against the cold wall, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he blurted out, "Don't come over."
Ani: “……?”
"Don't..." He lowered his head, took a deep breath, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Don't come near me."
Ani stared at him for a while, puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." He tightened his collar and gradually calmed down. "It's not someone else's attempt to show goodwill, and no other hunters are targeting me. Don't worry."
"This is just an excuse to fool me." Ani judged, "You are hiding something from me."
Ling Xiao's fingers, which were gripping his collar, were sweating profusely. His knuckles turned white from exerting so much force. He controlled himself to put on a distant, repulsive face, and suppressed the strangeness in his voice to make his attitude clear: "Ms. Annie, we are not at the stage where we don't need to hide anything from each other."
Ani was choked by this statement.
"Ling Xiao." Her slightly furrowed brows were reflected in the mirror. "You sleep next to me every night, letting me touch your body at any time. The vines will entwine themselves around me as soon as they detect my scent... You have told me countless times in my ears not to leave, not to leave you, or I will not be able to sleep and will feel uncomfortable all night. I have heard you murmur every word in my ear many times - now you say, we are not at the point where we don't need to hide anything?"
She paused and said, "I know you always like to escape and retreat. I know you always choose a mediocre but stable ending. I treat you so gently and indulgently not to make you want to draw a line between you and me at any time. You make me feel that my extra kindness to you is useless. You always turn hostile whenever you want."
"...You've always been good." Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and didn't look at her. "Everyone likes to look at you no matter who you are around. It's because you are eye-catching, you stand out, and you are better than others. I can only survive until now by climbing up the social ladder."
“…”
"It is of little use for you to be kind to me," he said. "I am a vine, my blood is cold, and my heart will never warm up."
Ani looked at him quietly, and after a moment said, "Is that so?"
He straightened his lips, paused for a long time, and nodded.
Ling Xiao didn't wait for her next words, but he didn't move his feet even though they were so close. He raised his eyes carefully, and was suddenly swept over by several tentacles that stopped in front of him and pushed into Annie's arms.
Her tentacles bound Ling Xiao's wrists and pulled them back. One of them hooked Ling Xiao's waist, lifted his light body up and pressed him to sit on the sink.
Ani's knees blocked his legs, preventing Ling Xiao from closing them. The place where he was touched felt slightly numb, and his eyes, which had been holding back for a long time, suddenly became moist. She pinched Ling Xiao's chin with her hand, and her voice rang in her ears.
Feeling a little chilly, she said, "Then I'm going to collect the debt, is that okay?"
Ling Xiao's breathing stagnated slightly, and he suddenly struggled violently. A Ni grabbed his wrist, feeling that the slender wrist under her palm was almost broken, veins throbbing under the thin skin, and suddenly, Ling Xiao choked and called out: "...A Ni."
At this address, she stopped tearing and looked into his eyes with her light pink pupils.
Tears fell straight down from his eyes.
Her long eyelashes were dripping, her breathing was disordered, and her pale cheeks reflected her slightly parted lips.
Ling Xiao lowered his head, leaned on her shoulder and swallowed the tears that he couldn't hold back. He said, "But you're too good to me. I won't like you."
"..." Ani was silent for a few seconds, "You only love yourself. The Fuji clan has always been like this. I know."
"That's not the case." He said, "I hope you're not that good... I hope you're sick, broken, and incomplete. I want to know when you'll be exhausted and when you'll fall apart. I'm not even worthy of you. I'm just worthy of being toyed with and thrown aside. As for your heart, I can't even see a crack to get into it."
"...What?" Annie lifted his chin and stared at his expression.
Ling Xiao knew that she probably wouldn't understand too much. She had been smooth sailing and brilliant since her debut. It was precisely because he felt that Miss Annie would not understand what he said, staring at her blankly, that he continued:
"I can only hide it." He said, "Because that way I can't see what you are thinking. Why do you accompany me? Why are you nice to me? I would rather you take over the spiritual advantage unconsciously. If I tell you, if I don't hide or pretend, and tell you 100% sincerely, I..."
He paused and said, "I love you as much as I love myself."
Ani's eyes moved.
"If I say that, you can abuse me physically and mentally from a superior position."
He finished speaking.
"But the fact is," Ani sighed, and something in her chest seemed to be slightly bumped. This feeling was very strange, "I have never abused you. I have pursued you seriously. I feel happy every time I see you. Just because you feel that you are out of your reach, you keep trying to reject me - who is out of your reach?"
She leaned over and pecked the other's lips gently. Ling Xiao's breathing became more disordered and he looked away with difficulty: "I need you very much, but I don't want to... I don't want to..."
I don’t want to love too much and lose my own opinions. He couldn't say it.
He was in a trance for a moment. Annie hugged him, wrapped her tentacles around his waist and pulled him up, holding Ling Xiao in her arms - and because of this, when the tentacles accidentally slid over, they suddenly got stained with a little wet liquid.
Annie didn't pay attention at first. She took advantage of Ling Xiao not being able to think of anything to irritate herself and kissed him again when he was offline. Before Ling Xiao came back to his senses, her tentacles touched his chest again, moved to the place where she usually rubbed him, rolled up the tip and rubbed the heart area that was always uncomfortable.
It seemed like there was a sound of some fluid gushing out.
……? Annie was stunned and looked away.
The little tentacle was also stunned.
"Wait, don't..." Ling Xiao's wrist was suddenly tightened by the tentacles, making him unable to cover himself at all. The rest of the vines were wrapped around and held down by another tentacle. Before he could finish his words, Annie had already torn off his coat.
He immediately tried to turn into a vine and escape, but Ani's hand pinched the back of his neck as if she had expected it. Ling Xiao couldn't move at all. He could only watch her lower her head and her warm breath fell on his skin. Ling Xiao shuddered all over as he heard her softly ask, "Plants... shouldn't be like this."
He also knew that this shouldn't be the case.
Ling Xiao's Adam's apple trembled, and he closed his eyes, trying his best to control his expression, but he was still about to cry: "I am more, I am more special."
Ani looked up at him and moved closer: "The fruits you produce are like apples?"
"No," he answered reluctantly.
"What should I do? I can't go to class normally. There are other people outside. Should I squeeze until there is no more juice? Or..."
"Try it." Ling Xiao didn't know why he said this. He was probably desperate. "I tried it and it hurts. Your grip is stronger than mine. I'll die of pain."
