First attempt at starship driving
Although he cannot transform into a human for the time being, Xiao Qingcen's current condition is much better than when he just broke out of the shell.
Interstellar migration and jumping are actually very tiring. Even if you are riding on the best starship, the cub's body will easily feel dizzy during the migration process.
It's a bit like motion sickness. Xiao Qingcen touched his chin, thinking thoughtfully.
He himself didn't know if he would get carsick, so he tilted his head and agreed to Shang Yiqi's suggestion of doing a simulation test in advance to check if the turbulence of the starship would cause dizziness and nausea...
So he was taken into a real starship.
This is Shang Yiqi's private warship. It can carry a small number of people at a time, but it can easily accommodate a little snow leopard.
The simulation test indicated that the other party had transferred the command and driving rights of the starship to Little Snow Leopard, and let Xiao Qingcen be responsible for driving this huge starship.
Shang Yiqi first drove the starship away from Ancient Blue Star and moved it to a nearby ordinary asteroid. These asteroids were unowned, not even large enough to establish a country on them, and lacked suitable living conditions. They were sometimes requisitioned by various interstellar driving schools as "driving school training grounds."
Yes, there will be driving schools in the interstellar era. From single- and double-person mecha driving to interstellar transportation vehicles, there are relevant driving institutions.
This is my first time to learn how to fly a starship.
After all, most starship pilots are military academy students. After simulated learning, they have to conduct actual machine training before they can really drive a starship.
Xiao Qingcen was the only one who was pulled into the starship's cockpit right away.
Shang Yiqi pressed the adjustment key.
Xiao Qingcen curiously sat in Shang Yiqi's seat, which turned out to be resizable.
In just over ten minutes, he carefully read the first part of the operating manual, which was almost as thick as an English-Chinese dictionary.
After all, you have to use your paws to turn the pages, so don't make it too difficult for a snow leopard. It has already tried its best to finish reading the first part.
He tilted his head and couldn't help but turn to the last page to check how much he had left to finish - how could there still be 3,547 pages!
Come to think of it, does this count as driving without a license...hiss.
Shang Yiqi lowered his head, as if he had guessed what his king was thinking, and suddenly added: "The Qianmi tribe's starship piloting certificates are theoretically issued by the consul." In the future, the certificates may be issued by Wang Gaizhua.
Anyway, it was just a learning drive, so there wouldn't be any legal issues. He had already cleared the area beforehand, so there wouldn't be anyone nearby.
Xiao Qingcen nodded thoughtfully, and turned his attention back to the starship in front of him with a large screen and countless buttons.
Now at least I know that the blue button in front of me means start/stop.
Shang Yiqi tapped the starship screen and changed the setting to auxiliary mode. The screen in front of him immediately changed, surrounding the young king, ensuring that he could touch the corresponding button at his height and the highest height his hand could reach.
Afterwards, the Consul began to teach Xiao Qingcen step by step how to identify the buttons on the starship in front of him. Most of the keys on this starship are combination keys. Apart from the complicated attack methods that were removed by Shang Yiqi, the remaining driving methods such as joystick-controlled steering and gear shifting are not difficult to learn.
At least it doesn’t sound difficult!
The little snow leopard couldn't help but empty his mind.
During the practical operation, Xiao Qingcen pressed the blue button to start the starship, and then pushed with his right claw. However, his short round claw failed to push the speed lever, and he was so angry that he used his tail to forcefully wrap around the lever and pushed it forward.
The entire starship flew forward tens of thousands of meters in an instant.
This is just the distance it takes to slide out with a "swoosh".
Did I use too much force just now?
The guilty little snow leopard swallowed his saliva and saw Shang Yiqi frowning slightly and saying, "Is the joystick too heavy? We should go back and have the research institute build a more suitable starship for Wang Xin... Go on, it's only a few tens of thousands of meters, it's nothing."
But this is "nothing"
Is it because the Archon's filter on himself is too strong? Xiao Qingcen looked at the already bare surface of the planet, then looked at the extremely long marks he had scratched on it, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Just like when Shang Yiqi asked him to try to practice turning left and right, Zhua Zhua pushed the joystick very hard, and the entire starship instantly drew a hook-shaped track on the surface of the planet.
Damn it... I was clearly trying to make a normal turn! How did it end up doing a 180-degree turn? This is unrealistic! There must be something wrong with the operation of this starship!
It was even more terrifying after taking off. Xiao Qingcen made sure that his whole body was fastened with a safety belt while trying hard to hold the joystick. He originally wanted to slowly lift the front half of the starship, and then lift the back half together, so that he could take off smoothly. However, he didn't know if he was too strong or what, and he accidentally lifted the head of the entire starship more than 45 degrees. If the entire starship was not equipped with a stable gravity balance system, Shang Yiqi might have fallen backwards.
Fortunately, Xiao Qingcen quickly lowered the starship down again.
After this actual operation, I didn’t feel dizzy, but the fear was very obvious.
Shang Yiqi's teaching was quite gentle. Even after such a big accident, there was no anger on the other person's face. Instead, he kept smiling.
Are you really not making fun of yourself? Xiao Qingcen couldn't help but become suspicious.
Of course, he knew very well that Shang Yiqi was not making fun of him.
The other party just likes to collect every moment alone with Wang, and stays close to him while recording, making sure that Wang can suck her every day. The happiness of the Archon is so simple and unpretentious.
"Push forward gently, not too hard, slowly." Shang Yiqi's voice slowed down as he explained. He grasped Xiao Qingcen's fist and the joystick in his hand, letting him feel the force he was using to restore the starship's balance.
Xiao Qingcen blushed and her heart started beating fast.
The other person's voice sounded right next to my ear, and his breath was so close.
"I don't think I'm cut out for this..." The little snow leopard blinked guiltily, its tail sitting uncomfortably beneath its body. Trying to find a new excuse for not wanting to continue learning, it hurriedly said, "Huh, why don't we stop here for today's training? I'm suddenly craving dessert!"
When Shang Yiqi took half a step back, Xiao Qingcen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed. He rubbed his face hard with his paws, trying to get rid of all the strange thoughts in his mind.
It must be because the other person was too close to me.
He hurriedly jumped to the empty area of the operating table to the side to make room for Shang Yiqi.
It's strange, I didn't have this weird feeling before.
Xiao Qingcen realized belatedly that this was another time when he and Shang Yiqi were alone together and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There was nothing strange when he was with Shang Yiqi in the past, but this time he felt that something was wrong with his whole body.
The memory of last night's dream has gradually become blurred, but Xiao Qingcen still remembers the indescribable feeling when the big black wolf tore through the iron window barrier and appeared directly in front of him.
The tail turned around in place, wanting to circle Shang Yiqi's tail, but then it felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Wang, who is usually very serious in class, thought of leaving early for the first time. Xiao Qingcen looked away to prevent Shang Yiqi from noticing that something was wrong with him.
Of course, the Lord Governor would not refuse any of Wang's requests. Since Wang said he wanted to eat dessert... Shang Yiqi picked him up and motioned Wang to squat on his head. He searched for any dessert shops recommended on the nearby planets, then turned the starship around and headed for the location of the dessert shop recommended by netizens.
Xiao Qingcen's mind was still blank, but in less than ten minutes, the two of them had landed in a star port.
He suddenly came to his senses and found that he had been sitting on Shang Yiqi's head. He wanted to climb down but was refused by the consul.
Shang Yiqi's starship was disguised when it docked. On the surface, it looked like an ordinary private starship, parked casually on the side.
Shang Yiqi took a taxi to the location of the Internet celebrity store according to the location mentioned in the guide.
The people around me look very different.
Xiao Qingcen watched silently. He squatted on Shang Yiqi's head and had a very wide field of vision. The "people" here were not human-shaped, but a strange species similar to fishmen.
It looks a bit ugly at first glance, but if you look closely, it seems a bit ugly and cute.
The shop where they were queuing was called Fisherman's Wharf Dessert Station, and the food they sold were all cute fishman-shaped desserts with local characteristics.
Shang Yiqi bought the freshly baked dessert and scooped a large spoonful of ice cream into Xiao Qingcen's mouth. "Actually, I made a lot of mistakes when I first learned to fly a starship. Don't worry."
Really? Xiao Qingcen, who was suddenly comforted, pricked up his ears alertly. Was it really not just a lie made up by the other party to comfort him?
"I'm not lying to you, this really happened." Shang Yiqi said, and handed a small sign that said "Be happy every day" to Xiao Qingcen's mouth.
Xiao Qingcen took a bite and found that it tasted like chocolate. He pinched a piece with his paws and fed it to Shang Yiqi.
"It's delicious, you should try it."
He couldn't help but praise it.
This Yuren Dessert Station was not lying, their desserts tasted really good, and Xiao Qingcen was very satisfied with it.
Seeing this, the staff at the dessert stands nearby, although they didn't hear clearly what the little snow leopard said, still recommended it enthusiastically.
"Would you like to buy our special today, the Mermaid Couple Chocolates? Two boxes of Mermaid Couple Chocolates are 10% off the original price! It symbolizes the everlasting love between you two!"
Xiao Qingcen looked at the box of couple chocolates.
Some of these three-dimensional chocolates are of two fish-headed people kissing, some are of two fish-headed people mating, and some are simply of two kissing fish.
Shang Yiqi bought it without hesitation after hearing this.
That lasts forever.
Xiao Qingcen couldn't help but gasp.
If the fish people here could understand what he said, he would definitely explain it to them clearly.
Forget it, at least this family’s chocolate is really delicious.
Xiao Qingcen forced herself to ignore the image and sorted out the chocolates with Shang Yiqi. There were still quite a few finished chocolates in the shop. Shang Yiqi observed for a while and noticed that Xiao Qingcen's eyes were on the small sweets. He immediately took out his account and cleared out the inventory.
The shop assistant beside him instantly broke into a brilliant smile: "I wish you two a long and happy marriage!"
I can leave work early! Oh yeah! He subconsciously turned his head to glance at the clock behind him, and the smile on his face became more sincere. Then he remembered something and added, "Please add your contact information. If you need any chocolate, you can order it from us. We also make custom cakes. In short, if you need any desserts, you can contact us."
These two are obviously wealthy.
It has to be said that the Fishman Planet is indeed a relatively isolated planet. They don't like to use the Star Network. After all, most of the images on it don't conform to their aesthetic standards - how can they have human heads! How ugly! Fish heads are still the best looking!
But in the eyes of this fish-man clerk, the human-shaped young man and the furry little animal in front of him were obviously the most beautiful things in the world.
I hope they will last forever and come to buy some goods every day.
The clerk prayed devoutly in his heart to the great god of his race.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingcen also looked at the clock behind him and was surprised to find that they had sneaked out for more than an hour without noticing. The little snow leopard hurriedly pulled Shang Yiqi, indicating that he should go back.
If Xiao Qingcen had not stopped him, Shang Yiqi might have bought the store on the spot and let the employees specialize in making delicious chocolates for Wang.
Shang Yiqi added the contact information of the shop assistant. He squatted on top of Shang Yiqi's head and was taken back to the starship by the other party.
“Boo-boo-boo!”
The little snow leopard said indignantly.
He had discovered before that Shang Yiqi was indeed quite extravagant in some aspects. Not only did he buy things without restraint, but he was also keen on buying entire shops outright.
The same is true when buying a protection base.
There is a great potential for being taken advantage of.
On the way back, Shang Yiqi piloted the starship with great skill. Every move that Xiao Qingcen had just found quite difficult, Shang Yiqi was able to complete in a very pleasing way.
Looking out from the cockpit of the starship, one can see many beautiful sights. The romantic galaxy is just like the bright stars that Xiao Qingcen can embrace when he uses his special abilities.
So beautiful, but also so dangerous.
During space travel, these stars actually occasionally become a type of space debris, impacting interstellar tourists when they least expect it.
The little snow leopard opened his eyes wide, watching countless asteroids not far away hitting the direction they were heading.
But fortunately, this is a starship equipped with various weapons.
The radar hadn't yet detected any asteroids, but the little snow leopard had already seen them hurtling towards them. He quickly warned Shang Yiqi, "Be careful not to hit them!"
"Well... I could have demonstrated my driving skills to you, but since Cen Cen said so..." The latter seemed unhurried. The Lord Governor pressed the button in his hand, and all the ship's weapons that had not been displayed were instantly deployed. If people from some planet happened to check the surveillance video of the nearby space airspace at this time, they would surely be frightened and ask to activate the latest defense equipment for self-protection.
Oh my god! The starship of the Thousand Mimic Archon appeared outside their planet with all its weapons deployed! Although there was only one starship, everyone knew that the Archon starship of the Thousand Mimics symbolized the entire fleet! Under normal circumstances, unless there were special circumstances, of course, wherever the Archon went, all the fleets under his command would follow!
Shang Yiqi's men, who were not allowed to leave Planet S, said: "We have a curse word that we don't know whether to say or not. Why don't we get such good treatment? We also want to follow the Archon and be among the first to see the King. Now, we are the only ones in the Archon's fleet who have not seen the King!"
The movements of Shang Yiqi's hands changed very quickly. The biggest advantage of the human body for them is that they can travel to more places. Most of the Qianmi people choose to use the human form for the convenience of daily life. Xiao Qingcen was dazzled by what he saw. He couldn't even tell how many buttons Shang Yiqi pressed at that moment, and how he managed to turn the direction of the starship while attacking at a fixed point. He locked all the planets in almost an instant, and the last button on his hand was pressed.
In Xiao Qingcen's perception, the planets not far away were all blown to pieces with great precision. Not a single shell was wasted.
“So handsome—!”
The king was never stingy with his praise for his consul, and immediately looked at the consul with starry eyes, as if he was omnipotent.
The other party is not only handsome but also treats him well and has high fighting ability. He is simply the embodiment of perfection.
Sometimes Xiao Qingcen would wonder if this was just a beautiful dream he had imagined before he died.
He picked up a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth.
The starship quickly retrieved all its weapons and returned to the ancient blue planet without being noticed. Shang Yiqi brought Xiao Qingcen back to the protection base. It only took half a morning, so there would certainly be no problems protecting the base.
After just one morning without seeing Xiao Qingcen, the other cubs protecting the base were inevitably a little lost. Xiao Qingcen had a way to deal with this. He shared some of the chocolate Shang Yiqi had picked up with Wan Ling and the others.
The quiet Bubble swam around in the water tank for a while, then came to the edge of the glass and greeted Xiao Qingcen.
Gurgle, gurgle. He blew bubbles silently. After receiving the little snow leopard's joyful wave, he retreated back into his own water tank. However, after eating the chocolate, when he blew bubbles in the water again, the brown bubbles dyed the entire surface of the water.
Wan Ling on the side laughed out loud, watching that Bubble had to float up before he could continue eating the chocolate.
The smiling snow leopard placed a piece of chocolate in front of the last little friend, Pi.
"I've checked specifically, and it seems that the robot tribe can also eat other foods..." The little snow leopard shook its tail and handed the chocolate to the other party. Most of the food in the protection base of π is gasoline, but it is obviously impossible to buy chocolate-flavored gasoline at the dessert station.
In desperation, Xiao Qingcen could only ask the fishman clerk to help him make a piece of robot chocolate.
We cannot favor one over the other and must protect every cub in the base as a good partner.
He tilted his head and held out the chocolate again. Pi took it without any hesitation and replied according to social etiquette: "Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
The little snow leopard nodded happily, wagging its tail and joining in the play with Wan Ling.
On the other side, on Planet A.
A group of judges looked at each other in distress.
Their task this time was to select contestants from the protection base who passed the auditions and entered the next round.
The online track has already been reviewed, but the online audition track has always been the most troublesome.
Different conservation bases vary in quality, and sometimes keepers and cubs are forced together without any tacit understanding.
They have reviewed nearly a thousand videos during this period.
"Well... that Ancient Blue Star Protection Base yesterday is definitely going to advance. Their performance was too good to miss the semi-finals."
"They took first place during the live broadcast, and the subsequent screen recording was also sent to the top of the online video popularity by netizens. There is definitely no controversy in choosing them."
"The cooperation between the King of the Thousand Mimics and His Majesty the Archon is indeed excellent," said one judge after silently approving his own video. "But after this year's system reforms, I wonder how their cooperation will improve."
"This year's system reforms still need to be revised. If they really make it to the finals, they might become a dark horse."
"The reform of the system will not only affect the Ancient Blue Star Protection Base. All protection bases will change. They are all standing on the same starting line and competing fairly." As soon as a reviewer finished speaking, another person's dissatisfied sneer came from the side.
It's called fair competition, but there are always some big bases that get the relevant content of the competition system reform in advance through various channels and means. How can such behavior be considered fair? Especially the person who just spoke, he is not ashamed at all. He is the one who is most suspected of doing all kinds of tricks in his daily life, and he has done a lot of things to leak questions to big bases.
Several judges who held the same idea showed disdain on their faces.
The Ancient Blue Star Conservation Base soon received an invitation letter for the rematch of the so-called cub and breeder tacit understanding competition, which did not specify any competition system, but did state the specific time.
Xiao Qingcen noticed an additional detail.
[If the cubs in the protection base are in their growth stage, there is a chance that they will reach maturity, and their results will not be affected.]
Wan Ling also saw this supplementary explanation. He complained to Xiao Qingcen, feeling aggrieved, "Boss! Let me tell you, the other protection bases are terrible. I didn't win the championship last year and the year before because of this rule. The others had just reached their peak right before the competition started, and their running speed was almost twice as fast as mine."
If this isn't condoning cheating, then what is?
Xiao Qingcen couldn't help but shook his head.
