Hall glared at his father, but at the same time he had to admit that his father's suggestion did solve the problem of his identity when accompanying him. In the end, he could only reluctantly transform into a beast and dye his fur black. In this way, at first glance, he really looked very similar to a black panther cub.
"Ouch." Hall grabbed Auckland's pants, quickly climbed on top of him, pulled open his collar, and got in.
A small ball of warmth settled in his chest, softening Auckland's heart.
The two of them simply packed up their things and stuffed a lot of stuff into their space storage rings, bracelets and necklaces. Then they took the fastest shuttle to the remote planet where Ivan was, and boarded the passenger airship to the 22nd star field in Ivan's place.
This was a very large passenger airship, capable of accommodating four to five thousand people. Auckland's airship ticket was in premium class, so the inspectors didn't hesitate to stop him when they saw he was carrying an orc cub. Long-distance airship fares are not cheap, and many families travel with their children, so children are permitted. The cub was so small, probably only two or three years old, and the airship didn't need a bottle of nutrient solution, so they turned a blind eye and let him pass.
Passenger airships do not use space jumps, so all three meals on the airship are nutrient solution. Of course, if you have money, you can naturally go to the restaurant and order a hot meal to satisfy your appetite.
Auckland's superior cabin was on the second floor. He walked up the stairs, swiped his electronic airship ticket and entered his cabin. Holding the fur ball in his arms, Auckland lay on the comfortable and soft big bed and slowly closed his eyes.
To be honest, life on the airship is quite boring. For navigation safety, there is a shield inside the airship, and you cannot use the optical computer to connect to the Internet. You can only connect to the airship server and watch some videos and movies prepared on the airship to kill time. Of course, you can also go to the entertainment room of the airship, spend some money, and use the virtual mecha on the virtual platform inside the airship to compete with your fellow passengers.
The spiritual energy in the universe is not as abundant as that on the planet. After two days of boring practice in the cabin, Auckland felt that he had not made much progress, so he stopped staying in the room and went out for a walk with the black ball.
A yellow-haired young man working in the entertainment room spotted Auckland and immediately called out, "How about it, handsome boy, want to try some?"
Auckland actually wanted to try it. His physical and mental strength were pretty good now, so he could definitely pilot a mecha. However, he had little experience, so he was afraid it would be difficult to win at first. If he did win, he was worried that his character, Ivan, would be ruined, which was quite a dilemma.
The blond young man saw Auckland coming out from the second floor. Those staying on the second floor were all guests in premium cabins, so they naturally didn't care about the entertainment expenses of one or two hundred federal coins. They might even give more tips if they were happy.
Seeing his hesitation, the yellow-haired young man assumed he was in poor physical condition and worried about losing face. He then pulled out a white information card and said, "Don't worry, handsome boy. All our match information is confidential. This card doesn't even have your number or ID information on it. It will be cleared once you leave the plane. There's no need to worry about your match information being leaked."
After all, there are all kinds of guests on such a big airship. Some people can't afford to lose, so if they lose the battle online, they want to get back at it offline. Therefore, the airship deliberately uses this anonymous random battle method to prevent those who want to make trouble from finding someone to vent their anger on.
The recreation room's rooms are all separated by a single or double room, each equipped with a bed and a virtual helmet. Guests must pay the yellow-haired young man a fee to receive a card, which they insert into the smart helmet to access the virtual platform within the airship. Auckland found this arrangement quite appealing, ensuring privacy while providing a good way to pass the time.
"I want a double room for four hours."
"For a double room, you'll still need two information cards." The virtual gaming platform in the entertainment room charges by the hour, with different rates varying depending on the room. For example, a single room costs 200 federal coins an hour, while a double room is slightly cheaper at 300 federal coins. Some people, seeking a cheaper price, will share a room with others. The yellow-haired young man had to make it clear to him that even if he was alone, he would have to pay for two people for a double room.
"Yeah, I know." To put it bluntly, Auckland is probably so poor now that all it has left is money...
He really doesn't care about such a small amount of money. What's more, two information cards would be better so that he can play with Hall!
"Okay! I'll charge you 1,200 federal coins!" The yellow-haired young man smiled and swiped the payment machine on Auckland's computer, and then directly deducted the corresponding fee from him.
There was obviously only one person in Auckland, but he asked for a double room and bought it for four hours at once. The yellow-haired young man was in a good mood. He was right. This guy was rich!
Auckland carried the black ball of hair into the room he rented. After locking the door, he first used his spiritual sense to feel around. After confirming that there were no cameras in the room, he took out a set of clothes from the storage ring and asked Hall to change into them after he changed back into human form.
Hall, whose hair was all dyed black, had his hair and skin also turned black after he turned into a human form, but his well-defined facial features still made him look extraordinarily handsome, and his black skin added a lot to his aura.
The two used their information cards to enter the virtual platform. Since these cards were blank and anonymous, they landed on the mech selection screen after logging in. There was only one random battle mode. There weren't many mechs to choose from on the platform; they were mostly standard mechanical mechs, differing only in appearance and minor performance differences. Therefore, the battles ultimately depended on the mech pilot's own abilities.
Auckland chose a blue mecha that he liked and started a random battle.
Because it was his first time using a mecha, Auckland found it quite novel. Sitting inside, he felt as if he were wearing a heavy suit of steel armor. Every movement required considerable effort. Fortunately, he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his strength was much greater than before. He quickly adjusted to the mecha's weight and began to move his body.
Auckland's opponent has entered the battlefield. Looking at the mecha dancing around as if it had cramps, Auckland's opponent was speechless.
Did I meet a newbie? How can I fight like this? It's so boring!
Forget it, let’s finish this quickly and then find a random opponent to see if we can meet a master and have a good fight!
While Auckland was still exercising and adapting to the mecha, he saw a yellow mecha suddenly appearing from the opposite side and rushing towards him. The speed was very fast, far exceeding the level of ordinary people. It was obviously a mecha fighter with very good physical fitness.
Auckland feels that the virtual technology of the future world is really good. It gives people the feeling of being immersed in the scene. Even the five senses are simulated very well, which is no worse than the famous Liuli Fantasy in the world of cultivation.
When the yellow mecha on the opposite side punched, he immediately raised his hand to catch it, but his arm was still shaken by the opponent's force and felt slightly numb, which showed that the opponent's strength was very great.
The opponent reacted very quickly and kicked Auckland with a side kick, kicking Auckland out... uh... well, it was he who kicked Auckland and bounced out, and Auckland didn't move at all.
No matter how shocked Auckland's opponent was, Auckland found it more and more interesting. He also wanted to test his own strength, so he also threw a punch at the yellow mecha, and then... nothing happened.
The opponent's mecha disappeared directly, and the system determined that Oakland won.
Auckland: ...
I swear to God, he only used 70% of his strength in this punch, how could this happen... ?
Next time, try 50% strength...
The author has something to say: Oh my god, either there isn't even a small theater, or there are so many of them all at once...
You can watch eight mini-theaters at once! Isn’t that awesome? Hehehe~~~
