Bai Jing took advantage of the holiday to sleep well, and made up for the sleep he had lost before. When the sun was three poles, I got up and made a big lunch.
Drinking tasteless nutrient solution for twenty days in a row, even Bai Jing felt it was tasteless.
A dish of braised eggplant, a dish of spicy diced chicken, and fragrant rice were quickly placed on the table.
The braised eggplant stew is soft and glutinous, melts in the mouth, and is delicious; the spicy chicken is still steaming, exuding a very tempting spicy taste. The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's tempting.
After eating and drinking, Bai Jing continued to devote himself to his studies.
As the time for the assessment got closer, the atmosphere in the classroom became more and more solemn. Everyone looked through the notes and materials nervously, and there was only the rustle of flipping through the books and the sound of reciting.
Gao Ling's lectures are all over, and it's time for consolidation and Q&A.
However, as the person in charge of leading the team to the headquarters this time, he still has other important duties and cannot stay in the training room all the time.
Before leaving, Gao Ling put the communication method of the optical brain on the light screen, and told him that if he had any questions, he could find him at any time.
I have to admit that Gao Ling is an extremely responsible teacher who treats teaching seriously and meticulously, but he doesn't understand the mentality of these fourteen or fifteen-year-old young men and women at all.
In the eyes of these students, there was a deep gully between the teacher's eyebrows, and his expression was frighteningly serious on weekdays. Who would dare to take the initiative to find him
"Brother Jing, how do you identify the mouth of this wool? I don't understand."
Fatty Jin Mao's eyebrows were all wrinkled together, and his tone was pitiful.
Alas, he didn't want to disturb the other party's review, but he was so depressed that his hair was going bald, and he didn't think of the answer to this question.
"Look carefully, there are several whitish water marks on the wool, which are traces of the movement of the rough stone with the river bed.
And the traces are radial, indicating that the movement is divergent, so this is the wool at the entrance of Solan Star No. 1—"
"My God, this...you can see it?"
Jin Mao looked around the wool, and finally saw three inconspicuous white water marks near the bottom, not much bigger than rice grains.
The shape is even more difficult to distinguish, almost blending with the texture of the wool itself, even with a magnifying glass it is difficult to find.
Jin Mao was shocked, Bai Jing saw such a hard-to-find trace just after a glance, how good his eyesight must be
"Well... Bai Jing, can you, can you help me see this piece of wool..."
An Ge beside him also mustered up the courage to ask, he must pass this exam, otherwise the Shen family would never support him again.
"Can."
Bai Jing did not refuse, explaining to others is also a way to consolidate knowledge, and it will sort out the thinking more clearly.
Everyone sitting in the back row watched Jin Mao and An Ge surround Bai Jing from left to right, asked one after another, and their eyes were red with jealousy:
Why do these two people have such a good life? They also want Bai Jing's patient answer!
Jin Mao, who was listening to Bai Jing's explanation, shivered suddenly. When he looked back, he almost jumped up in fright:
Damn, dozens of pairs of eyes are staring at him viciously, those eyes - hiss, it's really terrifying.
The little fat man turned his head with lingering fear, but there was a secret sense of refreshment in his heart. Hmph, who told you to look down on me when you first came here, you regret it now, you deserve it!
***
Proxima Centauri 3 space station.
It is about 300 kilometers away from the ground of Proxima Centauri, completely separated from the surface of the planet.
Standing on the vast space station, Bai Jing looked around and was shocked: This place is like a small port city, where spaceships sailing to various planets are docked, and it is spectacular.
Gao Ling and more than 500 students gathered here, preparing to take the spaceship to Capital Planet.
The capital star is about 2.5 light-years away from Proxima Centauri, and it only takes one day to get there by using the most advanced wormhole space shuttle technology. Of course, the fee is not cheap, and each person needs to pay 10,000 stars.
"Passengers on Proxima Centauri-Capital Star please board at docking point 15 as soon as possible—"
The silver-gray spaceship slowly docked at the docking point, the white hatch opened, and the students followed Gao Ling to log in one by one, swiping the optical brain on the connection screen of the hatch, the screen will automatically recognize the identity certificate and deduct the corresponding fee.
Fatty Jin Mao was walking behind Bai Jing, thinking of his situation, he suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "Brother Jing, if you don't have enough star coins..."
"Di—passenger with ID 1053166247 has successfully paid, please enter the cabin."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Jing's optical brain was already aligned with the connection screen.
Jin Mao's eyes widened. He seemed to have seen a flash on the computer screen showing a balance of more than 700,000 star coins?
He must have read it wrong! Didn't Bai Jing come from a slum, why is there more than his star coins—
The pure white cabins in the spaceship are separated one by one, the dormant cabin occupies most of the space, other than that there are simple tables and chairs, and a few primary nutrient solutions are placed on the table.
Bai Jing saw the blue and yellow Proxima Centauri getting farther and farther away from him through the small round window, and understood that the space capsule had started, but he could not feel the slightest impact from the bumps and high speed inside. On the ground there is no difference.
He looked forward, and a huge black spherical 'object' appeared in front of his eyes, with a very thin boundary, like surging bubbles. Bai Jing knew that it was a wormhole.
A wormhole is a space tunnel that connects two distant spaces, which is equivalent to folding two spaces that are far apart, and is a "shortcut" for space-time transformation in the universe. [Note]
Entering a wormhole is equivalent to entering a high-dimensional space, and the radiation will become extremely intense at that time. Bai Jing pressed the remote control and entered the dormant compartment.
It seemed like he had slept for a long time, but when Bai Jing was woken up by the hibernation cabin, he felt as if he had passed away.
Everyone walked out of the cabin door one by one, and they couldn't help being amazed when they saw the face of Capital Star on the speeding suspension train.
"Look, that's the main city of the main capital star—Cloud City!"
"My God, it was actually built in the air?"
"That's right, it is said that the energy system of Cloudsdale City all comes from the No. 1 emerald mine, where five tons of glass-type imperial green jadeite is produced, known as the king of emeralds, which is enough to maintain the power of Cloudsdale City for hundreds of years. energy."
Bai Jing looked forward through the car window, and saw that the huge main urban area was built in mid-air, and various towering buildings rose from the ground, like huge islands floating on the sea, completely unaffected by gravity.
The capital star is worthy of being the number one planet in the empire, and its prosperity is far higher than that of Proxima Centauri.
High-end mechas and super-running hover vehicles can be seen spinning and leaping everywhere in the sky, whistling past everyone's eyes, the speed is so fast that they can't see clearly.
A fully equipped armed fleet is on standby at any time at the mooring point, and the cold and sharp metal blows towards the face, guarding the safety of the main city.
After a rigorous investigation, everyone entered the main city, and they saw the headquarters of the Stone Gambler Guild after a short walk.
The headquarters of the Stone Gambling Guild is located in the center of the main city where every inch of land is expensive. There are two pyramid-shaped buildings connected upright, one upright and the other upside down. The triangular tops are firmly embedded together, forming a sharp-edged '8' shape.
Its appearance is as smooth and flat as a mirror surface, so clear that people can be seen. The silver surface refracts the cold light. The whole building has no trace of splicing, and there is no gap. It is completely natural.
The Egyptian pyramid is known as the first of the eight wonders of the earth. This building is a reconstruction of the wisdom of the ancient earth, but it is beyond the skills of the ancient earth.
The golden pentagram flag flutters on the top of the tower, and the whole building is unique, even people who don't know the stone gambling guild can recognize it at a glance.
The inside and outside of the Stone Gamblers Guild are completely different, with a consistent European style, very similar to the Proxima Centauri Club.
Dozens of white pillars support the tall semi-circular dome, intertwined in blue and silver-white colors, and the long carpet extends all the way inside, embroidered with the golden pentagram logo, which has a kind of restrained magnificence.
Bai Jing and others stood at the door and looked up at this magnificent building with amazement.
Gao Ling, the team leader, stepped forward to meet with the head of the headquarters, and at the same time informed the other party that the candidates from Proxima Centauri had arrived.
The principal was a fifth-level stone gambler, and his attitude towards Gao Ling was far from enthusiastic, and even somewhat contemptuous.
Last year, Proxima Centauri almost fell out of the top ten in the assessment. If it is still the case this year, the position of the third largest branch will be handed over to others—
After a while, Gao Ling came out with an ugly expression, which showed that he was not happy at the headquarters.
It was getting late now, and Gao Ling led the students to check into the Star Hotel that had been booked in advance.
Even if you have reserved a room, you must pay and check in as soon as possible, because the room will be extremely tight during the stone gambling assessment period.
The consumption of capital stars is very high, and the cost of staying for one night is 2,000 stars.
Counting the two days of exam time and tonight's rest time, each person will have to pay 6,000 stars for accommodation.
This amount of money is nothing to a kid from a rich family, but it is a lot of money to An Ge. The Shen family only funded his travel expenses to and from Proxima Centauri, and he had to bear the daily expenses himself.
After seeing the hotel's price list, An Ge's face turned pale, and he stood there stiffly.
He quickly turned on the light brain, swiped from top to bottom, and looked at all the surrounding hotels, and found that the cheapest one cost 1,500 star coins, and it was at least 30 minutes away from here.
"Bai Jing, can I, can I live in a room with you? I'll pay half of the room rate..." An Ge bit her lower lip, desperate to ask Bai Jing for help.
I don't know when he began to have an extraordinary trust in Bai Jing. Although the other party looked cold and his body was not so tall, he made people feel particularly safe.
"I want to share a room with you too, and I will pay for the room!"
Before Bai Jing could answer, little fat man Jin Mao interrupted enthusiastically, he hadn't slept with his idol yet.
"You forget it."
The hotel currently only has double-bed rooms, and with the size of a little fat man, there is no room for three people to share a room. Although he is not used to sharing a room with others, but—
In this strange age, after a month of getting along day and night, these two people can be said to be his only friends.
friend… ? Bai Jing was taken aback, this word hadn't appeared in his mind for a long time.
"Let's go." After returning to his senses, Bai Jing swiped his brain, and walked towards the room under the guidance of the guiding robot.
'He agreed? An Ge stood in a daze for a moment, and immediately chased after him ecstatically.
***
Bai Jing took a hot shower as soon as he entered the door, and when he came out, An Ge just packed up his things and looked up, and lost his voice the moment he saw the other party.
The young man has a slender figure and perfect proportions. His skin has been dyed a light pink under the steaming heat. His brown-black hair is fluffy and soft, scattered messily between his eyebrows; further down is a pair of misty brown eyes, moist and translucent , as if holding a clear spring, it is so beautiful that it is fascinating.
When those soul-stirring eyes looked over, An Ge involuntarily held his breath.
"Bai, Bai Jing, you, you, you..."
His face turned red instantly, his heart beat violently, his throat became dry, and he was a little out of breath.
He never thought that such a good-looking face was hidden under the black frame, and he could say categorically: If Bai Jing becomes a stone gambler in the future, this face alone will attract countless fans.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jing asked suspiciously.
His perception felt that the other party seemed to be very excited, and the active reaction in his body surged, but he didn't do anything.
People in the last days have always only paid attention to survival, the strong are respected, and they can do whatever it takes to survive, and everything else is secondary.
He didn't know the lethality brought by beauty in this era.
'never mind. '
Seeing An Ge hurried into the bathroom with his head down, Bai Jing didn't ask any further questions. He carried one of the quilts down and spread it on the carpet a few meters away from the bed.
"You want to sleep on the floor? Ah, let me do it."
An Ge came out and saw that the other party didn't intend to sleep with him, he was relieved, but how could he let Bai Jing sleep on the floor? Obviously he has something to ask for.
"No, sleep."
Bai Jing had no intention of arguing about such trivial matters. He turned off the light brain, and the voice-activated lights were turned off under his command, and the room immediately fell into darkness.
An Ge tossed and turned on the bed for a while before calming down her beating heart.
Bai Jing must have his concerns if he doesn't want others to see his appearance, he will definitely help the other party keep this secret, and prevent Bai Jing from being coveted by others!
