The transition from Tang Bai’s unfamiliarity while flying Discovery in the meteorite swarm to flying it with ease only took ten minutes.
“I’m really curious how Mr. Tang taught such a powerful driver.” A teacher watching the live broadcast said with emotion: “He is even better than military pilots.”
“It must have something to do with talent.” Another teacher said softly: “I can’t believe that we actually let such a good seedling spend so many years in those vase schools…”
In the game, when Tang Bai finally left the meteorite field after half an hour of driving, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu En glanced at Xie Ruheng, “Would you like to play cards to celebrate?”
Xie Ruheng looked at Lu En’s dejected expression and did not expect that this NPC would take the initiative to invite him. When he told the OO love story, he gained a little favor from Lu En. He gained another point in this mission. If he refused, would his favorability points be deducted?
“I’m not very good at playing cards.” Xie Ruheng hesitated for a while and walked towards Lu En.
“I’ll teach you.” Lu En led Xie Ruheng into the lounge. As soon as he entered the lounge, he skillfully took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he sat on the floor, took out a deck of cards and shuffled the cards slowly.
Xie Ruheng listened to Lu En’s vague explanation of the rules of playing cards. After he and Lu En played a round, Xie Ruheng suddenly heard the system prompt: “You have learned a new skill in playing cards, and you have gained 1 point.”
Xie Ruheng: “???” This could also be done?
Xie Ruheng opened the points ranking list and found that he was in the first place with 10 points. 5 points were obtained by killing the Zerg, and 2 points were obtained by him during the mission through the meteorite swarm. In addition, 3 points were obtained through weird things like cooking, telling stories, and playing cards.
Also looking at the standings was Tang Bai. He found that he and Gu Tunan were tied for second, both with 5 points.
Tang Bai gained three points from this mission. In addition to the points, he also gained some favorability points from the captain. So far, Tang Bai had accumulated five points from the captain. At this time, the old captain’s attitude towards Tang Bai was completely different.
“Not bad, not bad, you did a great job!” The captain was full of praise for Tang Bai. Not only that, he also began to actively teach Tang Bai his skills.
“Do you know how we find energy stars?” the captain asked.
Tang Bai: “!” Was this the benefit you could get by gaining favor with an NPC?
Tang Bai shook his head, his face full of thirst for knowledge.
“Whenever we find a new star or a planet that may have energy, we will release multiple quantum balls to stimulate quantum entanglement between plasma or particles in specific orbits to form a plasma wall and temporarily prevent the energy exchange of the planet, temporarily forming an isolated system, from which the entropy value or particles of the planet can be calculated, and the energy status and lifespan of the planet can be inferred.”
“Let me give you a virtual demonstration.”
A small quantum particle appeared on the projection of the optical brain. The ball had specific metal pieces on its exterior, and each metal piece could block different radiation from the quantum ball.
When the quantum ball was released, it separated from one sphere into many very small spheres, each of which emitted a small amount of special radiation.
These quantum balls were distributed in all directions of the planet. They emitted slender light and interweaved into a dreamy beauty like a nebula.
“What you want to learn is how to build an isolated system in the most energy-saving manner…”
One was explaining patiently, and the other was listening attentively. The picture was extremely harmonious.
[So that’s it, I’ve failed in my studies]
[Tang Bai seemed to really understand. I cried. Is this the gap between people?]
[Kneel down to the boss]
After a series of teachings, Lao Kang said: “There is a standard star in front of you. Come and practice it.”
It was an earthy yellow planet that looked desolate and deserted.
Tang Bai pressed the launch button of the quantum balls, and four quantum balls floated above the spacecraft. A hazy light shimmered through the gaps in the metal blocks wrapping the quantum balls.
These four quantum balls flew towards the planet. During the flight, they separated into more small spheres, and the densely arranged metal blocks all scattered.
These small spheres wrapped around the planet like elves, and the hazy light was intertwined. Looking around, you could see the vast starry sky with purple as the background color, with clear and translucent sapphire green embellishments, and tiny strands of gold exposed on the edge.
….
Tang Bai stared at this beautiful scenery without turning his eyes. He seemed to be able to feel the planet breathing, like a silent sound of nature.
“You learnt a new skill to detect energy stars, and you get 1 point.” The system prompt sounded, and at the same time, the captain’s voice rang in Tang Bai’s ears: “Sure enough… this is not the energy star we are looking for.”
Tang Bai looked at the captain. The old alpha showed a similar decadence to Lu En at this moment. He was indifferent to the magnificent scenery in front of him, because the captain had seen similar scenes too many times. From the initial expectations, he had become lost to the point of numbness now.
They were on a mission to find energy stars and had thus been living a boring life day after day on a spacecraft with few entertainment facilities to save energy. They were almost doomed to suffer from navigation depression.
The other side.
On the spaceship where Gu Tunan was, the captain looked down at the starry sky with an expressionless face. His eyes were dead, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
And sitting on the sofa in the lounge were the alphas who had just finished killing the Zergs.
“If Tang Bai processed the Zerg meat, he would definitely make the Zerg meat very delicious.” Mo Zheng said with emotion.
“Yes, it’s been a long time since I had a lunch box made by Tang Bai himself.” Gu Tunan pretended to be careless and said with nostalgia.
Bai Li sneered, “What’s so strange about this? Tang Bai often treats our class to snacks, and I don’t even want to eat them.”
Mo Zheng glanced at Bai Li lightly, “Oh? Then next time Tang Bai gives everyone snacks, I will specially tell him this for you, you’re welcome.”
Bai Li’s face suddenly darkened, which didn’t scare Mo Zheng, but frightened the innocent passers-by teammates.
Teammate A, who had no sense of presence, said weakly: “Well, should we ask Qin Jun not to bring the Zerg meat back to the spaceship? He has the smell of Zergs all over his body, and it smells terrible. The NPC seems to be unhappy because of this.”
Gu Tunan frowned. In the process of killing the Zerg several times, Qin Jun played a very good supporting role. The only dissatisfaction was that he had to bring back the corpses of the Zerg every time. The more you bring, the more Zerg meat you make, but the NPCs never ate it.
It was no wonder that the NPC didn’t eat it. Gu Tunan had tasted the Zerg meat made by Qin Jun once.
To be honest, Gu Tunan had never eaten anything so unpleasant in his life.
“I’ll go talk to him.” Gu Tunan stood up. Before he even walked to the kitchen, he smelled the disgusting smell.
It was sticky and disgusting, like the smell of rotting entrails gushing into your face.
Gu Tunan walked very softly. Qin Jun, who was cutting Zerg meat, held a knife in one hand and had the other in his pocket, so he did not notice Gu Tunan’s arrival.
Strange.
Why put your hands in your pockets when cooking?
Gu Tunan didn’t say anything. He walked slowly behind Qin Jun, like a prostrate cheetah. In an instant, he stretched out his hand like lightning and suddenly strangled Qin Jun’s hand in his pocket.
“Ah!” Qin Jun’s eyes widened in horror, and his mind went blank when he saw his hand being forcefully pulled out of his pocket by Gu Tunan.
That thing…
Gu Tunan stared at the thick green mucus on Qin Jun’s palm. It was obviously the body fluid of Zergs, and it was sticking to Qin Jun’s hand like thick phlegm, and Qin Jun’s pocket was empty except for traces of green liquid.
That thing got into…
Gu Tunan frowned, was he really just inserting it into his pocket? It was not surprising that Qin Jun encountered such liquid when handling Zerg meat.
“Although it’s a game, you should also pay attention to your personal hygiene. Get rid of the Zerg meat accumulated here as soon as possible and don’t do it again.”
Yes, yes, this was just a game!
Qin Jun’s eyes suddenly lit up. He tried his best to ignore the discomfort of the foreign object in his body and threw the chopped Zerg meat into the garbage bag under Gu Tunan’s gaze.
He put too much Zerg meat in the kitchen, and the entire freezer was filled with it. Qin Jun should have felt disgusted when he saw the Zerg meat, but now he suddenly felt… that the Zerg meat looked delicious.
Gu Tunan walked out of the kitchen. He was about to discuss the modification of the mecha with Mo Zheng. At this moment, he heard a rapid siren: “Warning! There is a star collapsing ahead of itself!”
“New mission: Escape from the danger zone!”
“Mission introduction: In addition to wandering Zerg, the dangerous encounters in the universe are also unpredictable as there are many dangerous environments! The self-collapse of the star will produce a black hole, and the material surrounding the black hole will release gamma ray airflow and high-energy particle flow! Please help the captain overcome this crisis! If the mission is successful, each person will receive corresponding points according to their contribution!”
“Note: A single gamma ray burst may radiate a large amount of energy within a few minutes, and the radiation may cause biological mutation.”
After hearing about the new mission, the three alphas in the lounge hurriedly came out to join Gu Tunan.
“What’s going on? Why don’t any NPCs come out to tell us what to do?”
“It seems that since we forced the captain to find the Zerg, the NPCs have refused to communicate with us.”
“If they don’t come to us, then we can only take the initiative to find the NPCs.”
A group of people rushed into the cockpit. In the cockpit, the captain was wearing a helmet, and a hint of desperate madness flashed in his calm eyes.
The deputy stood in front of the captain and said in a cold voice: “Don’t disturb the captain while he is driving the spacecraft. If the captain makes a mistake, the current energy reserves on our spacecraft will not be able to withstand this gamma ray burst!”
Mo Zheng smiled: “Your Excellency, Deputy, we don’t mean any harm. Is there any way we can help in this crisis?”
“Go and guard the shield on the spacecraft.” The deputy said with a cold face: “I will guard the six positions with the five of you. Don’t let gamma rays break through the shield!”
Everyone who finally received the mission quickly left the cockpit.
“Where is Qin Jun? Why doesn’t he come out and guard?!”
“Isn’t he still in the kitchen?!”
“I’ll go find him.”
Gu Tunan rushed to the kitchen, trying to pull Qin Jun out, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he forgot what he was going to say for a moment –
Qin Jun squatted on the ground, holding a garbage bag filled with Zerg meat in one hand, and kept stuffing unprocessed Zerg meat into his mouth with the other. The green Zerg meat obviously gave off a strong smell, but Qin Jun seemed to be eating the most delicious food.
