After lunch, the store manager graciously arranged a rest room for the four of them, and then served fragrant tea. Tea has also become popular again in the upper echelons of the empire in the past ten years. I heard that the first place to become popular is the Rose Restaurant. Of course, this is definitely thanks to Xie Qingcheng.
Leaning comfortably on the chair, Kate took a sip of tea and asked Xie Qingcheng: "Cousin participated in the 'University Star' competition?"
"Yeah, how did senior Kate know?"
"I saw it! I saw the competition video first, and then I told Chen Xian." Kate said in a twitch, "Ha, your college has never participated in this competition. If you are here, you must be the one to participate. "
Xie Qingcheng remembered the expressions of the seniors looking forward to her participation in the competition yesterday, and resolutely remained silent.
"Cousin, Chen Xian and I have had friendly exchanges with the students in the class," Kate said with a smile, "I watched them all vote for you."
Friendly communication
Xie Qingcheng immediately thought of the "friendly communication" that the seniors said in a strange tone yesterday, Xie Qingcheng decisively felt that this must not be a good word.
"Cousin, are you participating in any competitions in the freshman league?" Xie Qingcheng resolutely changed the subject, resolutely not letting them focus on him.
"We all participated in the mech competition." Kate answered successfully again.
Chen Xian glared at the guy who had been rushing to perform, and said to Xie Qingcheng with a smile: "So, cousin, remember to go to the scene and cheer for us."
"On-site?" Xie Qingcheng was dumbfounded, "Didn't you say that the game will be played on Skynet, why is there still a game in reality?"
He had no common sense about his cousin, and Chen Xian was also drunk, so he had to explain: "Of course it is the scene of the competition on Skynet. I have ten free tickets for each of my games, so my cousin doesn't have to worry about not being able to get one." It's about the ticket."
"Hey, you think you're one of the top 100 student mechs, and you can't get a ticket yet. I guess no one will watch your game." Kate laughed without hesitation.
"How powerful do you think you are?"
"At least my ranking is ahead of yours, hehe..."
"That was because you were lucky last year. The opponent you drew just happened not to come. Otherwise, how could you be ahead of me. Hmph! This time, my ranking must be ahead of you!"
The two started bickering again.
"But, where can I watch the match in Skynet?" Xie Qingcheng asked suddenly.
There is even the location of the Mecha Association that no one knows about! Chen Xian and Kate were also speechless. Worried that the explanation was not clear, Chen Xian asked the store manager to send three connectors, and took Xie Qingcheng to the Mecha Association to have a look.
Wear the adapter on your head and switch the Skynet experience mode. As soon as he closed his eyes, and as soon as he opened them, Xie Qingcheng found himself in a different place. Although Xie Qingcheng has been using Skynet for ten years, he still hasn't adapted to this sudden change of time and space. He always feels that he has not entered the consciousness, but has come to a real world.
"Owner!"
As soon as Xie Qingcheng stood firm, a pink pig with wings (the image of the optical brain on Skynet is an animal) screamed and jumped into Xie Qingcheng's arms. This is Xie Qingcheng's optical brain—Xiao Mo.
"Xiaomo, good afternoon!"
"Master, you haven't visited me on Skynet for a long time, why are you here today?" Xiao Mo happily gave Xie Qingcheng a warm hug, and complained, "Since Master came to University Star, you haven't visited Skynet to watch me. I, no one to play with me, woo woo woo... "
Xiao Mo covered his eyes and cried, but he cried for a long time without even a drop of tears (Skynet is a fully virtual world, and any feeling is the same as reality).
Seeing Xiao Mo's fake cry, Xie Qingcheng was speechless. This kid doesn't know where he learned his tricks. He likes to pretend to be pitiful and fake crying when he has nothing to do. Xie Qingcheng was fooled many times before. Xie Qingcheng looked at Xiao Mo with a smile, not planning to comfort him at all.
Having never seen the "sweet kiss of love" from the imaginary master, Xiao Mo quietly peeked at Xie Qingcheng from between his hands, just in time to meet Xie Qingcheng's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Xiao Mo's face froze, feeling bored, he quickly put away his previous expression, and stood honestly beside Xie Qingcheng.
"Master..." Xiao Mo blinked at Xie Qingcheng.
"Good boy!" Xie Qingcheng stroked Xiao Mo's pig's head, smiling brightly.
"What kind of place is this? Why is there no one around?" Xie Qingcheng looked at the buildings and streets full of fairytale colors around him, as well as the only two creatures here - himself and Xiaomo, and wondered if Skynet There was a glitch and it sent itself to some abandoned area.
"Because the master is underage, Skynet automatically puts the master into the underage protection area as soon as the master logs in. But there are very few minors on University Star, so this place looks desolate."
"Now what?"
Xie Qingcheng was dumbfounded: I am already a college student, yet Skynet still engages in this kind of discrimination. Do I have to stay in the desolate underage area of Skynet for the next ten years? If so, then don't go to Internet cafes.
Xiao Mo knew what his master was thinking when he saw Xie Qingcheng's expression, and immediately pulled Xie Qingcheng's skirt, for fear that his master would just disappear and leave him here alone.
"Master, I have already complained to the administrator of Skynet about this issue." Xiaomo said immediately, "It has verified the information of the owner and agreed to modify the login location of the owner in the future."
"Really? Now, how do we get out of here? Do you know the way?" Xie Qingcheng asked.
"Eh... I don't know either." Xiao Mo lowered his head, "Because the owner has not logged in, I have been confined to this area, so I don't know how to get out."
When Xie Qingcheng and Xiao Mo were at a loss, Xie Qingcheng's communicator rang. Xie Qingcheng saw that the person in the picture was Chen Xian. Xie Qingcheng was overjoyed, Chen Xian was a timely rescuer.
"Cousin, where are you?" Chen Xian in the projection looked anxious, "We searched all the places where we logged in, but we couldn't find you. Don't you log in? If you log in, isn't it the most appropriate Are we in one place? Are you bound to other landing points?"
Seeing Chen Xian's face, Xiao Mo was immediately excited: "Master, quickly let them pick us up!"
"What?" Kate asked, "Cousin, is this your light brain? It's so cute! But, by the way, where are you and where are we going to pick you up?"
"" Xiao Mo replied immediately.
It turned out to be a minor area!
Chen Xian and Kate were silent. At this time, they remembered that Xie Qingcheng was not yet an adult, and after logging in, he would definitely be assigned to the underage area, so they couldn't find anyone.
"I can't find the way, and I don't know how to get out." Xie Qingcheng was very wronged.
"Cousin, don't leave, we're here to pick you up!"
Xie Qingcheng, who couldn't find his way, stayed where he was, waiting for Chen Xian and Kate to arrive. Chen Xian and Kate rushed to the gate of the underage area like a windmill, and then...then, they were stopped. Then Xiaomo contacted the management program of the underage area, and asked for help from the electronic police... Finally, after a lot of effort, Xie Qingcheng left the underage area as he wished.
Recalling today's experience, Xie Qingcheng sighed: "I will never come here again. I will go to bind a landing site in a while, and absolutely don't be dragged to this place for no reason again."
Chen Xian and Kate touched the sweat on their foreheads, and nodded in sympathy.
It was the first time to come to the adult area, and looking at the buildings, streets, and shops that were completely different from the minor area, Xiao Mo looked around excitedly.
"Wow, this is the adult area of Skynet, it's really the second world of interstellar people! Master, it's really different! Haha, I will have more room for activities in the future. Master, can I go and play?"
"Go, I'll be with my cousin and the others, nothing will happen." Xie Qingcheng nodded flatly. Although Xie Qingcheng is curious about this kind of virtual world that is indistinguishable from reality, she is not as excited as Xiao Mo. After all, she has seen too much in the real world.
Xiao Mo disappeared quickly, and Chen Xian and Kate, who had been silent all this time, had a tacit understanding and took Xie Qingcheng to the Mecha Association.
Mecha Association, Mental Force Association, Fighting Association, Mechanics Association, Biology Association, Medicine Association... These associations of the empire all have their own receptions on Linglong Street, and they live in peace with each other. In addition to the stations on Skynet, these associations also exist in reality. Almost every star field has their offices. The empire is also very tolerant of these scholars, and they are very prestigious civil associations. The freshman league competition is organized by these associations and schools.
Arriving at Linglong Street where the association is located, Chen Xian and Kate took Xie Qingcheng straight to the Mecha Association. The Mecha Union is a tall white oval building covering an area of several hundred meters. On the top of the building stands a tall battle mech, which can be seen from a distance. There were people coming and going at the door, everyone was chatting excitedly, it was so lively.
"Cousin, is this the Mecha Association?" Xie Qingcheng was a little excited, this was the first time she saw the legendary Mecha Association.
"Yes!" Chen Xian looked at the mecha above the union with emotion, "For the convenience of management, every area of Skynet has a mecha association, and the mecha association of University Star is here. See the above Is there that blue mecha? That is the mecha of the most powerful mecha champion of University Star. sharp."
"Not a student? Why..."
"Skynet's competitions are ranked together by the entire empire. However, they are generally divided into amateur rankings and military rankings. The strength of the military rankings is obviously much stronger than that of the amateur rankings. But in the University Star, because of the student competitions, there are more individual rankings. There is a student list, and the freshman league is a competition for the student list." Chen Xian explained.
