Watching the enemy starship crumble into dust, eventually turning into green light and flowing into their own, the two exchanged a smile. Their AI scores increased by ten points each.
"If it can be neutralized, why do I need to hide?"
Qi Yan smiled and said, "What if I make a mistake? Taking everyone down with me isn't my style."
After all, the initial starship is too fragile! Only by defeating other starships can your own starship be upgraded.
"That's true!" So it was intentional on her part, not a coincidence? Ruan Dong's eyes lit up, feeling as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Sister, you're amazing! Please let me be your mentor!"
Looking into his bright eyes, Qi Yan coughed lightly, "I'm not some kind of god. I need to keep a low profile."
"Yes! I think I'll definitely pass this time." Ruan Dong was full of fighting spirit.
Qi Yan smiled but did not answer.
However, in the following time, Qi Yan discovered her companion's prowess. He moved freely amidst the attack of six or seven starships. Watching his chubby hands flying across the keyboard, Qi Yan felt it was truly unfair that he didn't pass on the first try!
But it benefited her.
Qi Yan felt that she could set her goal higher; it wouldn't be just to pass the test, but to get first place among a thousand candidates, which would make the teacher happy.
Seeing himself squeeze into the top 100, Ruan Dong was excited. Getting into the top 100 almost meant he had passed.
That's amazing!
"Don't get excited. Let's see how far we can go!"
"Mmm! That guy is amazing!" Ruan Dong had already become a little fanboy. He had never seen anyone take on six or seven starships and annihilate them all!
Her calculation skills are amazing! So precise!
"You're great too." Aside from the attack, which is unknown, your starship piloting skills are indeed impressive in other aspects.
The expert praised him!
"Meteor shower, be careful to avoid it." Qi Yan's voice pulled Ruan Dong back from his wandering thoughts.
"Alright!" In the dense asteroid field, a starship can be seen moving through it, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Having destroyed another starship to strengthen their forces, Qi Yan smiled as she noticed the AI suddenly light up.
When I clicked on it, I saw a map with about a hundred green dots, some bright and some dark.
As if afraid they wouldn't understand, there was a note next to it: the assessment has entered the final stage, green dots represent starships, and brightness represents strength.
This is going to cause trouble!
Qi Yan complained for a moment, then cheerfully ordered Ruan Dong to drive towards a crowded area. It's better to lose both sides and pick up the scraps, isn't that the most friendly thing to do?
...
After the assessment ended, all those who passed appeared in the hall. Qi Yan and Ruan Dong, being the last to appear, naturally attracted the most attention.
If you survive to the end, you're guaranteed to be number one, right?
"You fatso!"
This is Qi Rui's voice, the voice of the last starship they destroyed.
He was already in front of them, raising his fist as if to punch them. This sight made Ruan Dong instinctively close his eyes; he was utterly useless in combat and had been bullied all along.
However, the expected pain did not occur. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the boy's fist was being grabbed by the soft and weak girl beside him, and then gently twisted.
"Hmph!" At least it's a fracture! Qi Rui groaned, but managed to hold back from crying out.
Qi Yan had already withdrawn her hand, her face completely innocent. "Oh dear! How did you break your bone? How dare you act so aggressively when you're so weak?"
Ruan Dong: You're amazing!
A commander who was also familiar with Qi Rui's identity and strength said: "...With this kind of physical ability, it would be an injustice if this girl didn't become a mecha pilot!"
"You—Yan Qi, you just wait!" Qi Rui said through gritted teeth.
The names of the people on the SkyNet will be displayed above their heads. For example, Qi Rui is called Young Master Qi, and Yan Qi is called Seven.
"Okay, I'll be waiting. Remember to come back when your hand is fully healed."
Qi Rui: ...
Qi Yan looked at him with amusement, but her smile quickly froze.
"Thank you so much, Master!" Ruan Dong was so excited he was practically licking his knees.
"Alright. Let's add each other as friends, I should go now," Qi Yan said.
"Okay, okay." Ruan Dong's eyes sparkled, and he quickly added the AI as a friend. "Going now, master? There seems to be a reward for first place!"
"Here you go. I have urgent business to attend to, so I have to go now." Qi Yan patted his shoulder and then disappeared.
When Ruan Dong checked again, Yan Qi's avatar was darkened, and she had gone offline.
It seems there really is something urgent.
The girl, who was in a hurry, was nestled in the man's arms, her voice soft and sweet, "I was wrong. And I didn't embarrass you at all; I even got first place."
"Really? How's your partner? Is she easy to use?" The man looked at her and spoke softly, his eyes filled with longing, but mostly with coldness and indifference.
"You mean Ruan Dong? He's a chubby little guy. He's quite cute, and he's pretty capable too," Qi Yan replied with a smile.
"Do you want him to continue being your partner?" the man asked softly, but a hint of cunning flickered in his eyes.
“Hmm—” The girl, oblivious to the danger, pondered for a moment, “That’s fine too. But he’s on the Imperial Capital Star, and we’re not going there, so we probably won’t have a chance.”
"If you want it, you will have it."
"Perhaps."
The man gently patted her head and whispered, "Sleep well, good girl."
Qi Yan obediently fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the girl habitually slipped on her slippers and headed to the restaurant, only to let out a blood-curdling scream...
Lian Han woke up with a start at this moment. After realizing it was a dream, the girl put her hand to her face, her mind replaying the last scene—a plate of meat was placed on the table, its aroma filling the air and making one's mouth water—if only Ruan Dong's face wasn't next to it! She felt like vomiting.
The man seemed to think this wasn't provoking her enough, and chuckled as he sat at the table, "Xiao Qi, look, he's here. Come and have a taste, it's delicious."
It tastes amazing, amazing...
Qi Yan had only praised Ruan Dong a few times. This madman! Lian Han felt a chill run down his spine.
As her turbulent emotions gradually calmed down, the girl noticed her surroundings; this was not Shui Yiyue's room.
By the way, she participated in that divine selection, and then the selection ended, but she wasn't kicked out of the Skynet; instead—she was dreaming?
Is she still on Skynet? Lian Han opened his smart device and sure enough, there was an option to log off, but no matter how he clicked it, nothing happened.
Lian Han frowned, realizing that she might have arrived at her birthplace or something similar. After checking her smart device to make sure there were no unread messages, the girl threw off the covers, got out of bed, and decided to go out and take a look.
Cangming wouldn't have brought her here for no reason. And those strange dreams are probably related to him.
[Survival Quest Triggered: Stay True to Yourself.]
The system's voice suddenly sounded, and Lian Han was startled, as if she had just remembered that she had a system and an old man.
[An old man?]
[I'm here.] Xing Yucheng's voice was filled with relief. [Thank goodness, long live the system. You finally remembered me.]
[Huh?] Lian Han didn't quite understand what he meant.
[From the time you woke up until just now, I couldn't communicate with you. Until you called me. This is dangerous, Lian Han.]
