Xiao Zhi went offline before his heartbeat soared to a dangerous level that he would be kicked offline by the system.
Lying in the game cabin, Xiao Zhi seemed to still be able to feel the slight itchiness in his ears, and the tip of his nose seemed to be able to smell the woody fragrance from Frost's body. Even though he was already inside the futuristic game cabin, he still felt It seemed that the soft and wide bed in the Hall of Bones was still under him.
Xiao Zhi lightly pressed his hand on his chest, the violent beating from his fingertips was so obvious, telling him that he was not at peace at the moment.
Six hundred years have passed, this guy, Asen, seems to be different...
Xiao Zhi took several deep breaths before he finally calmed down his wildly beating heart. He collected himself and opened the game cabin.
The room is still the same as before. Although 0724 is not an advanced intelligent AI housekeeper, there is no problem with cleaning or anything, and Xiao Zhi's room is well organized.
After complimenting 0724, Xiao Zhi took a shower and went to bed early.
Tomorrow I have to get up early to attend the school anniversary of Haizong.
·
the next day.
In the Enselheim galaxy, all the planets have a very good climate, neither too hot nor too cold, and there is no extreme climate. It is a good place for students of Hailan University to study further.
On such a big day as the school celebration, the salted fish teachers and students majoring in game studies in the 21st century could no longer stay in the game. Xiao Zhi met up with the teachers and seniors under the teaching building, and then took the interstellar car to the No. 1 planet together.
This time, the interstellar vehicle did not stage the speed of life and death again, and Xiao Zhi finally saw the so-called "ten most beautiful galaxies" scenery clearly.
The Enselheim galaxy is really beautiful. Each planet has a vast ocean, which makes them look like a string of sapphires. The color of the ocean on different planets is slightly different, and each has its own beauty. The silky galaxy behind it is brighter than the most expensive jewelry.
Finally, we came to No. 1 star.
Star No. 1 also has a pleasant climate, because it is the first stop for gatherings and receiving foreign guests, and it looks more atmospheric than No. 12 Star where the Department of History is located. Intellectual yet design-inspired decorations are revealed everywhere, and Haizong’s school emblem is subtly integrated into it.
The four of them headed towards the auditorium.
Different from the time-consuming and labor-intensive inefficiency of gathering in the Earth Age, the school had already marked their seats on the terminal and marked the route thoughtfully. The four of them could just follow the directions directly, saving a lot of trouble.
Not long after, the auditorium arrived.
The auditorium that appeared in front of Xiao Zhi's eyes was unbelievably huge. All the students of Haizong totaled 370,000. If this auditorium could accommodate them all, the size can be imagined. And there is no support under the auditorium, so it is suspended in the air, with "Lao Tzu is an awesome science fiction building" written all over it. If placed in the earth age, it would be a shocking project.
The teachers and seniors next to him looked calm, apparently they were not surprised by this kind of scene, Xiao Zhi was once again thankful for his country bumpkin character, he didn't need to work hard to suppress himself, and he could look at it to his heart's content.
After entering the auditorium, Li Daye went to the seating area of the professors.
Xiao Zhi and his seniors were seated in the area of the History Department. He saw Senior Brother Bai Yan and some history students he had met in the game before. After everyone greeted each other, Xiao Zhi and the three took their seats.
The school may also know the origin of the mecha department and the history department, so they arranged the mecha department very far away. Xiao Zhi glanced around, but he didn't see any faces of the mecha department within his line of sight.
However, when someone from the department met his gaze, they all frowned and turned their eyes away. Xiao Zhi was a little puzzled at first, but after thinking about the glorious deeds of the history department and the mecha department, he suddenly understood that this might be the most seriously injured command department in the battle between Bai Yan and Tim Gard.
Later, he was repaired by Brother Wei Di, which can be called the worst in the school.
There were so many students in the auditorium that Xiao Zhi could no longer see the podium at all. In order to let everyone see the podium clearly, there was a huge three-dimensional projection in the air. At the same time, everyone's terminals could directly watch it simultaneously. .
At this time, the ceremony had not yet started, and everyone was a little idle.
Einstein moved closer to Xiao Zhi, and said mysteriously: "The school invites outstanding graduates and investors to watch the ceremony every year. Does my junior know who the guests are this year?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head, he was a salty fish who was only interested in games, and he didn't care about the guests.
Veddy said lightly: "There must be his father, every year."
It was only then that Xiao Zhi remembered that Senior Brother Ai's father seemed to be a very rich man, the kind who frequented the news headlines.
Einstein shrugged his shoulders: "No, my dad has something to do this year, and he's not in the Aquamarine Department at this time. This time, my brother came to replace him. But that's not what I want to talk about. My brother just told me that this year's Ark Company CEO Pei Qing is also here."
Wei Di was a little puzzled: "Why is he here? It seems that Pei Qing didn't graduate from Haizong."
The Ark Company is the operating company of ZERO. It is said to be an operation, but because the game is completely controlled by the mastermind of ZERO, they don't need to do anything. They only need to develop peripherals to make money lying down.
Einstein said: "Who knows? Maybe it's to invest, or to win over talented people in advance."
Xiao Zhi was a little curious: "Which one is Pei Qing?"
Einstein pointed to someone on the projection. He was a man in his thirties with a handsome appearance and a polite smile. He didn't look like the CEO of a game company, but more like a scholar.
Xiao Zhi felt that this person was somewhat similar to Noah Pei whom he had seen in the news.
It's not about appearance, after hundreds of years, even relatives can't find any similarities in appearance. It's that kind of temperament, it seems that you can see the world that others don't understand, you can think about things that others can't think of, that kind of temperament that is exclusive to geniuses.
Einstein said: "Speaking of it, Pei Qing seems to be the most talented person of the Pei family's generation. He has made achievements in many fields. Many people privately said that he might be the next Noah Pei. It's amazing."
Hearing Noah Pei's name, Wei Di's tone was rare and firm: "Impossible, no one can compare with Noah Pei!"
Einstein raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, can't..."
He forgot, don't compare Noah Bae with anyone in front of Veddy, or Veddy will go crazy. In his heart, Noah Pei is number one in the world, and no one else can compare.
He turned his head and whispered to Xiao Zhi: "This man is a genius, the kind who has been in the limelight these years, what a genius is thinking, anyway, I don't understand, just like Vidy."
Xiao Zhi agreed with this. Brother Wei Di ignored the Command Department, which had passed the written test with full marks, and instead came to study the game, in order to understand Noah Pei better, and to find a treasure that no one knew existed. I really can't do this kind of thing.
·
After the ceremony.
Li Daye went to a party with the professors, Einstein was called away by his brother, Wei Di was also taken to a dinner party by a familiar senior brother, Xiao Zhi decided to go back to play games.
The auditorium was huge, and Xiao Zhi was not in a hurry, he walked slowly and casually, taking a look at the scenery of No. 1 Star, and the students around him became more and more scattered.
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind him: "Is it classmate Xiao Zhi?"
Xiao Zhi turned his head and saw Pei Qing who had been discussed by them before. In order to participate in the ceremony, Pei Qing was dressed in formal attire, making him look even more refined.
Xiao Zhi: "Mr. Pei, hello, what can I do for you?"
Pei Qing walked over with a smile: "Professor Li and I have some friendship. He has often mentioned you recently and has been praising your game talent. I don't have anything special, I just met by chance, so I couldn't help but call you." Hello, didn't bother you, did I?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head: "It's okay, I don't have any plans for the future."
Pei Qing said, "Are you planning to go to the spaceport?"
Xiao Zhi nodded.
Pei Qing smiled and said, "I happen to be going there too, do you mind walking for a while?"
So the two went forward together.
On the way, the two chatted casually, and Xiao Zhi discovered that Pei Qing was quite an interesting person. He looked gentle, but not rigid, and his conversation was humorous and easy-going, and he didn't have the obnoxious attitude that social people have when they face students.
It's a pretty good conversation partner.
Because both of them knew Li Daye, the topic could not help but revolve around Li Daye.
Pei Qing said: "Professor Li is really an interesting person. I wanted to entrust him to study ZERO with me, but he said that it was not free, so he refused me."
Xiao Zhi: "Are you also studying ZERO?"
Pei Qing nodded: "All StarCraft knows that ZERO is controlled by the mastermind. Our Ark Company is at most a large logistics department. After all, it is the easiest company in StarCraft to make money."
These words sounded ironic, but his face was very calm, neither angry nor displeased.
Pei Qing: "It has been 600 years since ZERO came out, but Ark Company has not been able to develop a work that can rival ZERO. Although some people in the company think that it is good to keep the status quo, I always feel that one should not be too indulged in comfort. It takes a breakthrough."
Xiao Zhi asked: "Do you want to research works that surpass ZERO?"
Pei Qing had a longing look on his face: "That's the work of Noah Pei, the greatest genius in human history, who can surpass him..."
He turned to Xiao Zhi: "But, it's interesting to have challenges, isn't it? If you tell yourself that you can't do it from the beginning, maybe there won't be Noah Pei in the world."
"That's right." Xiao Zhi smiled.
He quite understood Pei Qing's thoughts. The more difficult the challenge, the more fulfilling it is to complete it. Sometimes the challenge itself is already a pleasure.
Pei Qing changed the subject: "Do you know the rumor about Noah Pei's treasure in ZERO?"
Xiao Zhi nodded: "I know roughly, if you ask me where the treasure is, I definitely don't know."
"Haha, of course I wouldn't ask this." Noah Pei said in a relaxed tone, "What do you think?"
Xiao Zhi thought for a while: "Although it is rumored that this treasure is very powerful, but 600 years ago, even if it is something that can change the course of human history, it may not be so powerful now, right?"
As a person who traveled through time 600 years ago, he has a better understanding of this. The advancement of human history is the result of the joint efforts of all people. There may be many geniuses contributing, but this is not only supported by geniuses.
The current human world is much stronger than it was 600 years ago, at least Noah Pei could not walk out of the earth, and could not see what Xiao Zhi saw now.
"Hehe." Pei Qing smiled, "Yes, from a rational point of view, that's the case. However, dreams are the most primitive persistence of human beings. You may not understand what kind of genius he is. Once you understand, he can do anything without hesitation. Not surprising."
Mentioning Noah Pei, Pei Qing's eyes seemed to be radiant: "The No. 33 theory that human beings realize space leap, the f-117 energy system that supports the infinite cycle of spaceship energy, and the lx gene sequence that breaks through the upper limit of lifespan... It can be said that, When human beings enter the interstellar world, they are stepping on his shoulders."
"And such a person suddenly creates a game at the end of his life, and this game is so real, so real that it is like a whole new world. He created a world, is it really just a game? What does he want? What are you going to hide in there?"
"Sorry." Pei Qing couldn't help but patted his forehead, "I worship my elders too much, and I let you listen to too many meaningless fantasies."
Xiao Zhi said: "It's okay, I can understand, if my family's ancestor is such a powerful person as Noah Pei, I would probably be proud of it."
As for whether he will talk about it with everyone, it depends on whether he can't bear it when the time comes.
After all, I have never experienced it, and I can't imagine it at all.
Pei Qing said: "In short, I am yearning for ZERO created by Noah Pei, and I have been working on it. I have no advantage over players in finding Noah Pei's hidden treasure, but this is also a kind of The fun of the challenge."
Pei Qing looked at Xiao Zhi: "Student Xiao Zhi, do you want to join my research? Although Professor Li rejected me, according to my understanding of him, he should not interfere with the students' choice."
Xiao Zhi shook his head: "Sorry."
Pei Qing was not angry either, he was still gentle: "May I know the reason why you rejected me?"
Xiao Zhi said, "I just want to play games happily."
Pei Qing: "I'll give you quite a generous reward, aren't you tempted?"
Xiao Zhi insisted: "The government subsidy is already sufficient."
Pei Qing smiled: "Hahaha, Professor Li's most proud student is as interesting as him... Do you like ZERO?"
Xiao Zhi looked at him and nodded, "I like it very much."
At this time, the two had also arrived at the airport, where various aircraft and interstellar vehicles stayed here, which looked very lively.
"I wish you a good time, goodbye." After finishing speaking, Pei Qing nodded to Xiao Zhi.
"Goodbye." Xiao Zhi said.
After bidding farewell, Pei Qing turned and left, walking towards his privately customized luxury spaceship.
In the most conspicuous row of positions in the entire airport, the one that exudes the atmosphere of "I'm super expensive and very tasteful" is it.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, he is indeed the CEO of the company that makes the most money in the whole interstellar, no matter how easy he looks to get along with, he is still a real local tyrant...
After sighing, Xiao Zhi turned around and boarded the free interstellar car prepared by Haizong for the students.
·
Back to the bedroom.
Because he had just attended the school celebration and sat in a packed interstellar car, Xiao Zhi thought it would be better to take a shower before playing the game.
Asking 0724 to put the water in for him, Xiao Zhi is going to take a bath in the bathroom.
Although the game cabin has a cleaning function, as a primitive and ancient earthling, he sometimes just wants to take a dip in the warm water.
Xiao Zhi soaked in the warm hot water, and 0724 added bath agents to the water, which gave off a refreshing forest scent, light and strong, and ranked first in the "Most Relaxing Smell Ranking" on Xingwang.com.
But this smell made Xiao Zhi think of Frost involuntarily. The smell in the bathtub was refreshing and clean, only slightly similar to the bitter woody smell on Frost, but his thoughts turned towards Frost uncontrollably body offset.
Xiao Zhi's mind is full of pictures related to the other party. Many years ago, Asen looked like he couldn't even speak well, and many years later, he had the cold eyes of the dreaded Lord of Hesse. I don't know if there is some kind of With the addition of the halo, Xiao Zhi felt that the two pictures looked the same.
Thinking about it, Xiao Zhi couldn't help being stunned in the bathtub, and when he didn't notice, the corners of his mouth were already slightly raised, turning into a sweet smile.
The transpiration of heat made his skin a little pink.
After a while, the screen on the wall suddenly lit up, and 0724 manipulated the bathtub, filled him with hot water, and changed the slightly cold bath water.
The sound of rushing water slightly pulled back Xiao Zhi Piaoyuan's thoughts.
A flat mechanically synthesized voice suddenly came from the control panel: "Master, are you in love?"
Xiao Zhiming knew that this was 0724's built-in sound effect, but he was taken aback by the content of the words. His movements were unsteady, and he slid directly into the bathtub. Come out.
"Cough cough cough..." Xiao Zhi was choked up, and he took a breath before he had the strength to answer 0724, "No, why did you say that?"
While pouring hot water into him in an orderly manner, 0724 controlled the cleaning robot arm on the wall to clean up the splashed water, and said, "Because master, your performance is very consistent with several major characteristics in love: a person in a daze, Inexplicable laughter, abnormal behavior, according to data analysis, if the above three conditions are met, the possibility of being in a relationship is 80.54%.”
Xiao Zhi hurriedly said: "How could... how could I be in love!"
0724: "Strongly deny that the fourth item of love characteristics is met, and the possibility of people who meet four consecutive items in a state of love has reached 89.97%."
0724 is an AI with a low level of intelligence, so his expression is very direct, and the range of euphemism is very limited, making it impossible to refute.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
He was about to say something coquettish to dispel the awkward atmosphere, but he was afraid that 0724 would analyze new love possibility data for him. Such an upright little partner is really scary, making people feel guilty inexplicably.
No, he is not in love, why should he feel guilty
But Xiao Zhi felt that the moment he had this thought, he slid down without confidence, slipped down, and finally fell into an invisible abyss.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Also, forget it, don't think about it...
