Chapter 1 Leaving School
June 30, 2382.
Lingu College, student apartment.
Chen Shi took his finger away from the fingerprint lock, the electronic door slowly closed, the two door panels gradually moved closer, and all the scenery in the room was gradually blocked.
Bang!
Electronic doors closed!
He completely blocked Chen Shi's vision into the room, sighed, carried his travel bag, pulled up the suitcase on the ground, and turned around and left.
Liu Ju, who was standing beside him, also pulled his luggage and followed him.
Today is their day to leave the academy.
Walking out of the apartment, I met many graduates who were holding their luggage like them along the way. However, although there were many people on the road, the entire college road did not seem noisy, but was quiet.
There was nothing to say along the way, and they walked along the way by the cultivation hall, the college square, the academic hall, the teaching area...
Chen Shi looked at the familiar buildings, and every bit of his five-year college career emerged in his mind.
In the past five years, Chen Shi has only been an ordinary student in this huge academy, and is inferior to the middle.
Although he worked hard, his progress has always been limited over the past five years. If he followed the normal life trajectory, Chen Shi should have barely reached the warning line of 500 points when he graduated, and then he would either be assigned to a grassroots level to work, or he would participate in the self-service army and try his luck. If he had good luck, he could also become a soldier. In today's space age, the social status of a soldier is very high.
But now all this has changed!
As his thoughts surged, Chen Shi looked down at his left hand and focused his attention on the diamond pattern on the back of his hand - the heroic spirit pattern.
"It's this kind of momentum! Believe that with my help, you will soon walk out of your own destiny!" Deep in my mind, Gost's voice rang out without fail, "Of course, the premise is to fulfill my small request first~"
Chen Shi ignored it. He had already discovered that the artificial ai that appeared again in the past few days has become a little strange. The most obvious point is that he kept his mouth shut about the changes in Chen Shi's mental power. In these days, Chen Shi had asked it many times, but the answers he got were basically...
“There is no precedent for this change and cannot be answered.”
As for the door of evolution, Gost refused to reveal a single word.
Chen Shi always had a feeling that the "smart treaty" that Gost often mentioned seemed to have lost a certain degree of binding force, which made him feel a little doubtful.
Secondly, over the past two days, Gost has always made a very bizarre request-
It asked Chen Shi to help him find someone who was seriously injured and died!
What to do to find a dying person?
At first, Chen Shi would ask why, but after many successes, he gave up.
"Where will I find such a thing? Wait for a while, I will always encounter it."
This is Chen Shi's answer. After all, medical technology is particularly developed today. No matter how trauma is, anyone can be completely healed. It is not so easy to meet a dying person.
Of course, if you concentrate on finding it, you can still find it, but Chen Shi, who is already in doubt, will not do so easily as Gost said.
To retract the chaotic thoughts, Chen Shi and Liu Ju have already walked out of the huge school gate.
The main road outside the college was full of various hover trucks, which were all for picking up and dropping off students and carrying luggage.
"Chen Shi, that..."
At the entrance of the college, Liu Ju stopped and saw his father's car not far ahead.
"I've told you very clearly," Chen Shi interrupted Liu Ji. He knew what the other party wanted to say, but it was the question of 400 credits. "Credits are not free. You know, I will soon participate in the military selection competition. I will definitely leave home for a long time after that. When I'm not around, you will have to take care of me."
"This..." Liu Ju hesitated.
"Don't agree?" Chen Shi deliberately raised his face.
"No, no!" Liu Ju was suddenly a little hurried, "Just..."
"Don't worry," Chen Shi patted his shoulder, "Don't say it's now, even if someone bullies you in the future, no matter who the other party is, I will still stand up for you!"
"Go to you," Liu Ju also laughed, "I feel like I'm so angry."
"Haha," Chen Shi smiled and pointed to the distance, "Go, your dad is calling you."
Liu Ju Wenyan looked back and found that a middle-aged man in a suit and a shiny big head was shouting his name to the side.
Waving at the middle-aged man, Liu Ju turned his face and his expression became a little distorted.
"That..." he hesitated.
"What?" Chen Shi said in surprise.
"I heard that Zhao Nan also won the quota for the competition..." After a few seconds, Liu Ji finally said with a flushed face.
"Zhao Nan?" Chen Shi was stunned when he heard this name. The scene of Mu Zhiqing and Zhao Nan leaving the academy two days ago was immediately flashed through his mind.
At this moment, looking at the expression on Liu Ju's face, Chen Shi was a little puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized: "Are you..."
"No, no, no, no," Liu Ji waved his hands, "I just asked casually, that, my dad was urging me to hurry, let's go first!" After saying that, Liu Ji ran away. After getting in the car, he stretched his head out of the car window and shouted, "Remember, Chen Shi! Please contact us often!"
"Don't worry!"
Chen Shi responded loudly, raised his hand and waved it, watching the hover car carrying Liu Ju leave far away until the car disappeared on the horizon. He put his hand down.
Looking back at the four big words "Lingu Academy" on the gate of the college behind him, Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled the faint, lost feeling in his heart.
"Campus life is over, and what begins in the future is the real life!"
After tidying up the backpack on his shoulders, Chen Shi pulled his suitcase and walked slowly towards the north, where there was a quick station leading to the surrounding affiliated cities.
"The real challenge begins from now on!"
Chen Shi kept stopping, and cars came and went on both sides of the road. Lingu Academy was on the edge of the city, with a large number of dust-free factories around it. Now it is the peak period of work in the early morning. There are many vehicles and pedestrians on the road. They come and go one by one. From a distance, it seems to form a huge torrent, and Chen Shi is just a wave in the torrent.
Fortunately, Chen Shi's target distance for this trip was not far. After about ten minutes of walking, he arrived at his destination - Express Station.
Because it was morning, there were not many people in the station.
Chen Shi walked into the entrance of the passage, took out his credit card and gently brushed the payment platform on the edge of the aisle, then raised his hand and tapped the floating window popped up in front of him a few times.
"Dou! Destination, Lingu City No. 5 Affiliated City, please wait for the No. 5 platform. In three minutes, the express bus No. 0319 will arrive at the station."
Listening to the electronic prompt sound in his ears, Chen Shi reinstalled his credit card and walked towards Platform No. 5 with a large bag.
The so-called fifth affiliated city is a satellite city, which also falls under the jurisdiction of Lingu City.
There are six satellite cities in Lingu City, and nearly eight million people live in these six satellite cities!
In fact, although the entire Lingu City is extremely huge, its urban planning shape is similar to a rectangle - long from east to west and short from north to south. The Lingu Academy where Chen Shi is located is located is located in the south of the city, close to the suburbs.
And the six satellite cities are distributed in the north and south of the city.
The fifth affiliated city is located on the south side of Lingu’s main city.
Time passes...
The convenient bus arrived at the station soon, and Chen Shi walked in.
There were not many people going to the Affiliated City of No. 5, so Chen Shi found a seat and sat down quietly.
This kind of convenient bus is actually an enlarged floating car. The cars are divided into upper and lower layers, and each layer has about fifty functions, making it a public vehicle.
There was nothing to say all the way. After about twenty minutes, Chen Shi arrived at his destination. After getting off the car, he pulled his suitcase and walked into an alley with familiarity.
Compared with the main city, the streets of the Fifth Affiliated City seem much dilapidated and shorter, and the traffic of floating vehicles on the street is much less. However, there are more people talking on the road. The pedestrians walking on both sides of the road do not have the rush of pedestrians in the main city, and have a little more leisurely.
Walking through a slightly dim road, Chen Shi came to the door of his home - a dilapidated residential building crowded in a narrow street.
Pick! Pick!
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Chen Shi was thinking secretly.
"At this time, parents should have gone to work, and the Intermediate College has not yet arrived to return home. There should be only a little sister at home."
Every federal citizen will go through three stages before he grows up - junior college, intermediate college, and advanced college.
In addition to the students of junior colleges who must return home every day, both intermediate colleges and advanced colleges can choose to live in the school. Chen Shi's younger brother is an intermediate student and chose to live in the school. Given that the holiday time of the intermediate college is several days later than that of the advanced colleges, Chen Shi speculated that his younger brother was not at home.
"That's when we're going to be back from vacation these two days."
While thinking, he had already come to his door, raised his hand and opened the fingerprint lock, and Chen Shi pushed the door and entered.
Everything in the home is as usual.
"Hmm? Why is there no one? My little sister is not at home?"
At this time, Chen Shi had already been a warrior in the early stage of bone refining. In addition, the sensorless organs were constantly increased by mental power, and both vision and hearing were incomparable to each other than before, so he could easily hear that there was no rest in the room.
"Little sister!"
Chen Shi tried to scream, but there was no response.
"It seems that I'm not here. Could it be that I'm going out to buy ingredients." Chen Shi knew her sister Chen Yan very well, and naturally knew that she was an avid cooking enthusiast and often ran out early in the morning to buy the ingredients for the day.
Thinking of this, Chen Shi opened his room and walked in.
His room is not small. At least among the three siblings, his room is the largest, but it is also the most crowded. The reason is the various posters all over the room...
A large map of a one-meter-high nebula, a panoramic view of the Milky Way galaxy that is 1.5 meters long, and a two-meter-wide Sagittarius astronomical image...
In this limited space, there are nearly eighty cosmic pictorials with different scenes!
These pictorials are laid on the wall layer by layer, next to each other, completely obscuring the surrounding walls and ceiling.
Bang!
At this moment, the sound of opening the door came from outside the room. Chen Shi piled his luggage on the bed, then turned around and walked towards the living room.
I saw a little girl with a ponytail walking into the room with a dying black cat, her face full of sorrow.
Chen Shi looked at the little girl who was obviously absent-minded in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little girl, Chen Shi's younger sister Chen Yan, was obviously startled by the sound. After seeing who the person was clearly seen, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then a few drops of crystal clear appeared in her little mouth.
Ring ~
At the same time, the old-fashioned phone in the living room suddenly rang, and Chen Shi picked up the receiver. Ten seconds later, his face became a little ugly.
(Today's first update, huh)
Chapter completed!
