under the mask

"It's rude of you to do that." Li Wei taught Jacob casually: "Mu Ling is a girl."

"It turns out that her name is Mu Ling." Jacob completely missed the point, "She has a good eye...but she doesn't deserve you."

Are you trying to say that only you are worthy of it... Li Wei gave him a sideways glance patiently and said nothing.He wasn't really angry, after all, he didn't mean that to Mu Ling, so it's better to take this opportunity to make that girl give up.What's more, Jacob is jealous because he cares about his performance, because this quarrel is really unnecessary, he is a mature man.

However, Jacob felt a strong sense of crisis because of this, and spent the rest of the time secretly sending messages to Abel. The two fat dragons united unprecedentedly under the Fat Dragon family with Li Wei as the core, determined to chase after him. , and strive to take his wife down as soon as possible.This is something.

More than an hour later, the electronic display in front of the building was refreshed again, and it was Levi's turn for the next 100 people to enter the screening.The 100 people in front came out in a single file, walking down the steps with various expressions on their faces, and were immediately surrounded by students who were still waiting. The scene was noisy, and people asked anxiously everywhere.

"How? What did you get?"

"Battleship? Cruiser? God, it can't be an aircraft carrier..."

Another girl clutched a stack of tissues, covered her nose, and cried loudly, sobbing: "...wh, I can't remember anything... It's a complete failure... They're all looking at me..."

Jacob looked impatiently at the people around him, and at the person who was still leaning on his shoulders. Such a noisy environment did not affect him from playing the game, and it was still the very old and boring snake game .

"Hey, I'm ready to go in." He put his arm around Li Wei's waist and squeezed it.

Li Wei turned off the communicator slowly, and squinted at Jacob: "What did you call me?"

Jacob felt helpless for the first time: "...My husband, please?"

uh-huh.Li Wei gave him a kiss in satisfaction, and then walked towards the building.

Jacob watched as his figure was quickly overwhelmed by the crowd, thought for a while, and turned to go to the station.He and Li Wei made an appointment to have dinner together at the school cafeteria at noon. It is estimated that Li Wei always went out to eat for his wallet, and it was expensive, and he couldn't rush to pay every time to save his face.

What a...good wife.

Jacob couldn't help laughing out loud, causing the third graders next to him to look at him in horror.

Jacob was upset: "What are you looking at? Is I in a good mood?" Suddenly he was shocked.

The communicator rang immediately, and he glanced down, cursing involuntarily, but the other party was Abel and had to pick it up, so he had to slowly plug in the earplugs.

"What are you doing? You want to rebel if you don't pick up for a long time?" Abel's extremely displeased voice came from the earphones, and he was almost as bandit as he was.

"It's crowded!" Jacob was even more upset: "You haven't eaten yet? Why am I still hungry!"

"It's because you're not full! I haven't yelled at you yet!"

"..." You're a fart, your whole family...

"Wife went in?" Abel seemed to throw himself on the bed, and the creaking sound of the single bed came from the communicator.

Why hasn't the bed collapsed yet... Jacob cursed viciously, completely ignoring that it was also his bed.

"I just went in just now," he hummed triumphantly, "I have an appointment at the restaurant for lunch."

"Well, that's fine," Abel pondered: "You come back now, stay in bed in the afternoon, and let me go."

"..."

Jacob said in grief and indignation, "It's not fair!" He startled a crowd of passers-by.

Abel said gloomyly: "Last night, I didn't finish my cock, and this morning I was still dreaming and forced to cock... Fair?"

Jacob froze instantly.

It's all kinds of annoying and melancholy, why can't marrying a wife be a matter of one person?Marrying a wife always has to involve people other than the two, such as mother...such as duck neck...

"He will definitely find out!" Jacob said in a low voice, "I am much more gentle and considerate than you. He will think that my husband is irritable in the afternoon. Irritability is a disease that can be cured!"

Abel sneered at the other end: "What's the matter with getting up and getting angry?"

Having said that, though, Jacob couldn't help but reveal a bit of concern about being too sweet in recent days (actually, last night).He lowered his voice and said to Abel: "Brother...I'm always worried that my dear will suspect us."

He said sincerely: "We are different in all aspects." My bed skills are better than yours, and you are a little better at pretending to be cool than me.

Abel: "..."

Jacob continued: "I didn't dare to kill him last night because I took care of you!" This reason is good.

Abel: "..."

After thinking about it, there are actually many differences. If this is discovered... it will be a matter of time.

The two felt guilty collectively: "..."

"In particular, I think my dear can guess what I'm thinking..." Jacob cried, "I always wonder if I should take the initiative to confess."

Abel had a vein throbbing in that head.Sure enough, I am afraid of my brother who is like a pig.

"You...you come back quickly." He suppressed his voice and said patiently: "Come back for a meeting."

Jacob turned off the comm, sniffed and looked up at the sky.The sky is Naomu Naomulan, just like his mood is melancholy and sad, flowing against the current like a river.

His melancholy subject was following the large group into the elevator, leaning against the wall with a livid face.Li Wei leaned against the black gold wall, the black wall with gold dots constantly flashing, coupled with the suffocating dizziness caused by the feeling of overweight and weightlessness, almost no one in the elevator spoke.

When they reached the top floor, the four elevators opened simultaneously, and one hundred people quietly walked towards the gates at the end that marked the playing field.The serial number was displayed on the electronic screen outside the six metal doors. Levi looked around and saw number 183 on the innermost right.This is the largest virtual battlefield on the top floor, and there are about 23 or four people assigned to this room for screening together with Li Wei.

Open the metal door and walk in, all the black and gold walls are only illuminated by faint invisible wall lights. There are more than 30 battle platforms neatly arranged, one is eight meters long and four meters wide, and there is a two-person platform at each end along the long one. In the virtual cabin, cabins for up to two people can be added on each side.

At one end of the battlefield, there is a lonely four-seater virtual cabin, which is a cabin provided for teachers.This cabin can remotely control all the virtual cabins below and switch to any cabin that is in use.

When Li Wei and the others entered, they saw the four judges in this classroom.Only then did he realize that there were only eight possible candidates listed on the forum, but considering that there were six battlegrounds in total, eight judges were obviously not enough.He glanced hurriedly, Professor Degas was not here, the researcher named Russell was talking to an old man in a low voice, and he was surprised to find that the otaku was there among the other two, the last one he did not know, was A not-so-young but quite beautiful lady, the otaku was lowering his head to say something to her, looking like a student who was justifying his mistakes.

Seeing the students participating in the screening come in, the lady raised her hand to signal the otaku to suspend the conversation, then turned around and raised her voice to the students who were at a loss: "Go and find your cabin, don't stand there in a daze - the micro-screen of the cabin will display Your respective serial numbers, act fast!"

Everyone looked panic-stricken and ran around in various cabins under her instructions. The virtual cabin here is the same as that on other floors. There is a palm-sized micro-display on the metal back cover, which usually shows the model number and time-limited cards. time and so on.Li Wei scanned around and found that the guy with the serial number in front of him had already found a cabin, so he went straight to the cabin next to him, and it really showed No. 183, Li Wei.

The virtual cabin on the battlefield is different from the simulation cabins on other floors. The shape and model of the simulation cabin are fixed and realistic, and the operating system is the same.The virtual cabin can choose different models, whether it is a starship, an aircraft or a fighter.Of course, they were randomly selected when they participated in the screening, and the automatic selection function has been locked by the host.Li Wei touched the black and silver shell of his virtual cabin, which was thick, smooth and cold. He touched the underside of a protrusion in the one-person-high virtual cabin, and when he touched it with his finger, a faint blue light lit up there, and then the virtual cabin The front cover of the cabin made a soft click and popped open automatically.

The students who stared at Li Wei blankly before and after suddenly realized, and bent down to fumble for the sensor switch.They didn't even touch the simulation cabin much, so needless to say, they didn't know how to open it for a while.Li Wei stepped on the metal pedals, stretched out his hand and lifted the front cover vigorously, revealing the cabin on one side of the double cabin, inside is a comfortable black leather-covered driver's seat like a recliner, with a lot of metal glowing in dim light embedded around the head Or the crystal plate, which should be used to connect the nerves, and there is a card slot in front of the foot, which houses equipment such as induction boots, induction gloves, and a helmet.

He bent down, reached in, quickly took out the equipment, turned around and sat on the deck of the virtual cabin with his boots upturned, and then stepped on them as if his feet were equipped with power armor. Put it on, and finally put on cool gloves with a bunch of metal parts, just like those funky sequined gloves worn by punks.

Then the sound of pinging, bang, and fishing equipment sounded all around again.

Li Wei heard a sneer coming from the front of the empty battlefield. It was low and moist, and the surrounding voices suddenly became quieter.For some reason, Li Wei guessed that it was the voice of the indifferent researcher.He sat in the cabin shrugging his shoulders, lay down comfortably and adjusted his posture. There was another click on the position of the boots, and the two safety gears locked his induction boots at the same time, and also fixed his feet. At the same time, his two hands are like iron pieces being attracted and repelled by two opposite magnetic poles that are very close together, and are fixed in the air.

The supine driving position left a piece of space on the head. When Li Wei lay down, he only felt something supporting his neck, but the entire back of his head sank, but soon, the metal and crystal plates embedded in the walls It protruded out automatically and embedded in the corresponding position of the helmet. Something seemed to pop out from the top of the helmet, like a chain tied out of the stone pillar on the opposite side of the cliff. Li Wei immediately couldn't feel the sinking of his head, as if his whole head was hit hard. In the chair, but without the feeling of being squeezed.

The original black helmet's front mirror flickered for a moment, and then clearly displayed the three-dimensional map of the virtual cabin, the purpose of the touch buttons on both sides of the hand, and one of them flickered continuously, prompting to use it.Li Wei tilted his head slightly, and the [-]D map adjusted accordingly. There was a touch button next to his hand that seemed to be glowing in the mirror. He pressed it along the way, and the front cover made a humming sound and slowly sank, and the whole cabin fell silent. .

The three-dimensional map on the mirror disappeared, and it was pitch black.

Three minutes later, a picture appeared in front of Li Wei's eyes again, which felt very mysterious.On the one hand, his brain remembered that he was lying in the virtual cabin, his hands and feet were fixed, but on the other hand, he really felt that he was standing in the darkness at this moment, without any sense of restraint in his body, only That special silky feel that comes with the personal protective clothing that pilots a starship.

After all, the realistic feeling prevailed, and the feeling of entanglement was quickly forgotten by him.

In the darkness, a smooth silver-white panel gradually appeared in front of him, with only one button on it.

"Draw lots." A cold male voice sounded in the darkness.

Li Wei knew that the judges had all entered the virtual cabin, maybe at this moment—a person was sitting in the bottomless darkness opposite him, and his every move and every choice were controlled by that person. fundus.Every screener can hear this voice, and probably feel the same as him.

Without hesitation, he reached out and pressed the button.

In front of the silver-white panel, it was like a huge technological monster gradually sailing out of the thick fog, revealing the huge metal outline of a battleship.It only lasted for three seconds, and then it started to change crazily like a rolling lottery. All kinds of metal monsters of different sizes, shapes and shapes changed and flashed back and forth, twice a second, which made people dazzled. Dizziness.

Li Wei simply lowered his head and stopped trying to capture a certain moment. This method is too stupid.It lasted for about 40 seconds. He raised his hand and pressed stop. The scrolling screen in front of him stopped abruptly and was fixed on a starship with a strange shape.This screen is only given to the students for five seconds. If you know it well, you can calmly deal with it just by scanning it. If you don’t know which level or model it is, you can scan it and show it to the students at any time. I’m afraid it won’t be able to be assembled smoothly. It's like getting a box of puzzles, even if you know the original appearance, you are still at a loss.

Five seconds later, the starship seemed to have encountered misfortune, and slowly dismembered into parts in the vacuum of the universe, some complete and some fragmented.

Li Wei touched his chin and smiled.This is a Guangming-class heavy cruiser that was born not too early or too late. It was manufactured in the second half of the 24th century. The oblate hull was quite popular before the 27th century. In fact, it is indeed more practical, and it is still a bit retro now. Pai likes to design and manufacture starships in this shape.

The starship is located at the rear of the hull, with two warp pods distributed in a twin-rod structure, allowing the cruiser to remain stable during high-speed flight. There are also three fast shuttle launch platforms and additional weapon pods. An uncompromisingly efficient gunboat.Although his main function from the 24th century to the second half of the 25th century was to defend and provide tactical support.
