Chapter 75 Star Domain Tournament First Game (Part 1) (Part 1)
Mu Baixing lowered his eyes and looked down, then remained silent for a moment.
It was a set of shark pajamas, very thoughtful, a complete set from inside to outside.
The vest and shorts were printed with a ferocious shark on a white background. The outer layer was a short wool coat and trousers suitable for autumn and winter.
The plush part of this pajamas is not fully printed, and the color used is the simplest white, gray and blue:
The area from the neck to the lower abdomen is white, symbolizing the shark's belly, and the rest is gray-blue.
The back of the pajamas is made into a fish fin standing outward, and the hat is made into the shape of a shark's head with two black round eyes on the top. It has a toothed horizontal zipper that can cover the entire head when zipped up, making it look like a shark man walking upright.
Mu Baixing: “…”
He held the pajamas in his hands, pressing the soft plush against his chest. Mu Baixing subconsciously twisted them, finding the material to be quite comfortable.
"Brother Mu." The young man outside was helping him close the door while covering his eyes. His ears were red as he spoke in a high-sounding manner, "Brother Mu, hurry up and wash. After you wash, try it and see if it works. I think this number... this number should be okay..."
"Get dressed and come out to rest!"
Mu Baixing: “…”
Mu Baixing shook his head helplessly.
As a safe star region, the Central Star Region has a well-developed online shopping system. Furthermore, the comprehensive university is strategically located. Even though it's late at night, I can buy a new set of pajamas and have a robot deliver them to my door within twenty minutes.
But Mingyu wanted to see him wear it.
So he put aside this set of clothes that was completely different from his own style and quickened his washing speed.
So when the bathroom door opened again, Mingyu saw that Mu Baixing had already put on his pajamas.
He was very tall, stuffing Mingyu's pajamas completely full. He was tall and long-legged, a tall, lanky, handsome shark.
The big shark is also wearing a shark head hat very appropriately!
The man's hair had been blown in the bathroom, leaving it a bit disheveled. Fragments of hair draped over his face, peeking out from between his shark teeth, bringing out a playful quality Mingyu had never seen in Mu Boxing. His expression was calm, and his blue eyes, framed by a dark circle, looked at Mingyu.
Mu Baixing: "Satisfied?"
Mingyu: “…Wow.”
Mingyu couldn't believe it, "I thought it would be funny..."
Mu Baixing raised his eyebrows.
"Ah, no, I don't mean to laugh at you!" Mingyu explained, trying to cover up his mistake. "It's just... but Brother Mu! You're dressed like this..."
He lowered his voice and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Mu, you are wearing this! It's really cute!"
Mu Baixing: “…”
Mu Baixing really didn't know what relationship he had with the word cute.
He snorted and laughed, thinking Mingyu was just telling a joke.
The man's lips were red from the steam. Mingyu found himself starting to have wild thoughts, so he quickly looked away. He heard Mu Baixing say, "What about yours?"
Mingyu: “…”
"...How do you know I have it too?" Mingyu muttered.
Mu Baixing hummed and said concisely, "Wear it."
So that night, the two shark men lay together.
The bed in the dormitory is not big, and it is a bit crowded for two adults to lie on it.
Mu Baixing slept on the outside of the bed, lying on his side facing Mingyu, considerately giving Mingyu more space.
In order to sleep comfortably, they took off their plush coats and put them aside, with their shark hats leaning against each other. Mu Baixing bent his arms slightly, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep quickly.
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu was a fist's distance away from him. In the dim moonlight coming in from the window, he looked at the man's handsome face, and then at the shark prints all over his body.
Mingyu: “…Pfft.”
He couldn't help laughing, then yawned, buried his face in the quilt with satisfaction, and relaxed into sleep.
Half asleep, the young man turned over. Then he felt that the person who had just been sleeping soundly beside him had woken up for some reason, put an arm around his waist, and pulled him into his arms.
Mingyu: “…”
"Tomorrow is the first game of the Star Region Tournament." He was too lazy to open his eyes and only mumbled, "Don't move around, Brother Mu, sleep well..."
"sleep tight."
*
The next morning, the two sharkmen woke up one after another in the same bed, separated from their octopus-like entanglement as if nothing had happened, washed up, and connected to the star network.
Mingyu pushed open the door of the lounge and saw a few people with colorful hair who he hadn't seen for a long time playing cards together.
"Boss!! Brother Lu!!"
The colorful-haired people turned around and called for help.
Red Hair fixed his gaze on Ming Yu and Mu Bai Xing, his eyes flickering back and forth across their faces like a searchlight. The four orange, green, blue, and purple brothers sitting beside him followed Red Hair's gaze, looking left and right, trying to read something from their faces.
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu couldn't help but raise his hand: "Your boss and I are innocent."
Colorful hair: "!!"
"What!" Red Hair was the first to jump up from his chair. He looked at Mu Baixing and couldn't help but say, "Boss! You haven't caught up with her even after meeting her..."
Mu Baixing: "Shut up."
He gave a warning look to several people, his eyes cold.
Red Hair shuddered and quickly shut his mouth. Mu Baixing had been away from the base for the past few days, and he hadn't been exposed to the boss's cold air for a long time. It was a bit scary to suddenly feel this way.
Mu Baixing: "How is the base?"
The colorful-haired brothers stood at attention and nodded in unison: "Very good, very good."
"The maintenance room is steadily making a profit." Zimao raised his hand and reported, "Our accounts have been positive for the past few days."
"The people from the exploration team we took over last month have been brought under control after a few beatings," Blue Hair said. "They're working pretty hard! They brought back a lot of resources from last week's voyage and sold them for a lot of money."
"After Kuroshio Day, several bugs entered the outer harbor. Our exploration team took turns patrolling and saw a few infested ones, but we dealt with them all." Red Hair added, "The streets have returned to normal this week, and we haven't seen any signs of Kuroshio bug activity."
Mu Baixing nodded.
"You've worked hard," he said. "I'll give you a day off after the next game."
The colorful haired people widened their eyes: "!!"
"Boss!——" Red Hair was the first to shout, "Can we go anywhere during the holidays? I also want to see my brother LU!——"
Mu Baixing glanced at him and said calmly, "Okay. Take the carrier starship and go to the central star field together."
The colorful hairy people: "!!!"
Several people turned to Mingyu and burst into cheers.
Mingyu blinked.
"Good luck then?" He said with a smile, "Brother LU will take you flying in this game!"

"Dangdangdangdang! Welcome to the Star Navigation Competition, the Central Star Region Division! I'm your old friend, Rabbit Commentator!" In the livestream, a plush bunny in a tuxedo made a dazzling appearance. The studio's overhead lights cast a brilliant white cone of light around him, like a stage spotlight, sprinkled with dazzling golden sequins.
The plush rabbit put one hand behind his waist and gave a dazzling, gentlemanly bow. He then stood up and said excitedly, "After three qualifying matches, we've finally entered the increasingly competitive Star Region Tournament!!"
"During the Star Region Tournament, the Southeast Star Region, Southwest Star Region, Central Star Region, and Free Star Region will each hold a non-resurrection elimination tournament! From the one hundred participating teams in each star region, the organizing committee will select the ten best teams to advance to the final offline finals!"
"Fortunately, the elimination matches of these four star regions will not be held at the same time! Otherwise, we would have missed some exciting scenes! So today! Let's move on to the first match of the Central Star Region!"
"Oh, this really sounds like a very interesting competition topic," the big rabbit said, shaking his head. "One hundred participating teams will search for a single rare treasure buried in a golden chest! During the competition, communication between teams is prohibited! There will also be no unified star maps distributed this time. Each team will have to explore on their own!"
"The competition lasts for forty-eight hours! The team that successfully finds the golden treasure and returns to the starport within forty-eight hours will become the champion of this competition and end the competition! They will have limited options in the next competition!"
"Well, let me give you a spoiler..." He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It's a very precious priority right of selection!"
The plush rabbit straightened up again. "The other teams will be ranked by points, and then the last team will be eliminated!"
"Besides the single rare treasure, the mining area also contains numerous silver treasure chests. When a team returns to the starport, points will be awarded based on the number of treasure chests carried by the starship. Depending on the difficulty of finding the treasure chests, the points range from 100 to 1,000! Also, when starships from different teams engage in combat, the competition sensor system within the starships will use the damage sustained by both teams to add or subtract points. Destroying the opposing starship will directly award 500 points, while destroying your own starship will result in a 500-point deduction!"
"After a starship crashes, its damage level will suddenly rise to 80%, requiring repairs before it can be deployed again."
"Each starship may not use its repair room for more than two hours at a time! The total repair time for the entire match may not exceed five hours! If a starship crashes after using up its repair time, its current points will be used to calculate its total points!"
"There are ten repair points on the competition map. Destroyed starships will be respawned at the nearest repair point. Teams that haven't crashed will need to go to a repair point if they want to repair their starships. Throughout the entire match, excluding the team that finds the golden treasure chest, the top 29 teams in points will advance to the second starfield competition!—"
"If no team finds the treasure chest! Then all teams will advance based on their points ranking!"
"Then let us excitedly wait for the last half hour of the countdown! The treasure hunt game! It's about to begin!——"
"International practice! Let's take a look at the situation in each lounge!"
"Everyone has their own selfish desires! So today, I, the commentator, will first take a look at the dark horse team that often brings us miracles! So colorful!——"
"Aces!" Under the camera, the red-haired man was excited when he learned that after two more games he would be able to take a long vacation to travel to the central star field. He threw out a deck of cards and shouted excitedly.
The brothers gathered together and played cards enthusiastically.
The rabbit commentator was silent for a second, and an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.
"The atmosphere in the Colorful Lounge is as relaxed as ever!" he said. "Although Colorful has enabled facial blurring, it's not hard to guess that the guys playing cards are probably the brothers named after the colors red, orange, green, blue, and purple! And Colorful's pilot, Mu Baixing, and our designer and observer, LUCE, are in the sofa area—"
"Wow! Our talented designer LUCE isn't sleeping today! I can recognize LUCE because he's releasing his mental power... Hmm." The rabbit host scratched his ear. "What form of mental power is this? A mental power... cloud?"
Mingyu was sitting on the sofa beside him, thinking about the rules on the light screen.
The treasure chests in the mining area were obviously items hidden in advance by the Star Navigation Competition officials, and they needed to rely on the observer's detection ability to find them.
What are the sizes of these boxes? Besides their color, do they have any other characteristics? Does "buried" mean simply buried beneath the surface?
It's a bit too simple.
Apart from the part about finding treasure chests, simply digging for treasure chests sounds like a proposition that has nothing to do with the postgraduate entrance examination's star navigation driving ability.
The characteristics of the Maze Star Mining Area...
In addition to the vast expanse of barren and dangerous landscape, this newly developed mining area, like any virtual mining area, is very dangerous because it is full of aggressive wild star beasts.
...Will the so-called treasure chest be placed on the star beast?
The young man was lost in thought, ignoring the noise made by the colorful-haired people around him. However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mu Baixing, who was sitting next to him and resting with his eyes closed, suddenly open his eyes.
"Brother Mu?"
Mu Baixing: "Someone is knocking on the door."
"Knock, knock, knock." The visitor seemed very polite. He knocked three times in an orderly manner and then stopped immediately, waiting for a response from inside the door.
Mingyu: “……?”
Although the lounge of the Star Tournament was not a separate space for each team, but was in a surrounding corridor... they had played three games, and this was still...
The first time someone knocked on the lounge door.
The situation is somewhat strange.
Mu Baixing stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
Mingyu walked behind him.
The colorful-haired guys who realized the situation later also stopped playing cards, stood up like bad youths and followed the two men.
The man's slender fingers lifted the lock on the door and pushed the heavy carved stone door open.
At the same time, Mingyu's mental power extended from the gap, and when the door opened only a little, he saw the scene outside the door first before Mu Baixing.
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu couldn't help but reveal an expression that was hard to describe.
