intoxicating

honor, dignity, responsibility;

In the middle of the night, the entire experimental facility seemed quiet. Xiao Zhongxin lay down in the lounge with his clothes on. Ren Xi had already left, and only some instruments and staff were working overtime.

Suddenly, the indicator light of the instrument began to flash, and in the next second, there should be a cold mechanical sound.

Nothing appeared, not only the sound did not appear, but even the lights began to go out, all the familiarity disappeared before their eyes, and their night's work was wasted.

But this is not what they are most worried about. The working environment here is extremely stable, and it is almost impossible for all instruments to stop.

"Who turned off the switch."

"Someone may have invaded, please notify the person in charge."

At the same time, in a certain building hundreds of meters away, a person said, "Confirm the damage, and we will break through forcibly."

Listening to the voice coming from the communicator, two people in overalls quickly moved forward in the corridor, and when they encountered unknown persons, they arrested them for questioning.

"They're in Room 7, Block B, 101th Floor."

"They?" Lao Song snorted, and at the same time knocked him out very smoothly.

They are now on the ground floor, and if they want to go down, they have to take the elevator, but all the electricity has been destroyed, so they can only use the most primitive method, taking the stairs.

When the sign of the seventh floor appeared in front of him, a voice came from the communicator, "I didn't do it."

These words sounded like the prisoner's excuse during the interrogation, but now the voice of speaking came from the communicator, and the person who spoke was their companion, which was extremely weird.

Lao Song quickly remembered one thing, "You still remember the smelly socks, even if you did it, no one will blame you."

"No..." The voice seemed to be about to cry, "I haven't entered the control room yet, all the lights suddenly went out."

"Then why didn't you say earlier..." Another voice came.

"My communicator was also jammed."

This incident was like a land mine buried in everyone's mind, but until they rescued the person, no suspicious person was found.

"Damn it, let them escape again."

"It seems that they have been on guard for a long time, otherwise they would not have time to take away the experimental data."

There were faint complaints from several colleagues in the communicator, and even the sound of hitting heavy objects.

"I hope they didn't smash the lab..." Old Song said.

"Stop talking, send people to the car first."

"Hey, why does this kid look familiar?" Lao Song stared at one of the rescued people and asked. They didn't look carefully when the power was cut off in the building just now.

Sixtieth Road, "Underground Arena."

"Oh, what I said..." Lao Song suddenly realized, and then began to marvel, "You are really unlucky, no, it's luck, you met us twice."

"Ask, why is he there..." A voice came from the communicator.

Sixtieth birthday turned to Gong Lingxi and said, "Tell me, what happened to you this time?"

"The aircraft exploded."

"Ask again, what experiments did they do on him?"

Huajia didn't bother to repeat it, so she raised her chin directly, "You heard that too."

"Isn't it clearer if you ask him..." Gong Lingxi pushed the question to Zuo Xiyou again.

"He said that..." Huajia said to the communicator.

"Tell him that we are asking now, but if he doesn't cooperate, the next step is interrogation."

"Isn't there still experimental data, could it be that I haven't found it?" Gong Lingxi asked suddenly.

"Boy, you just need to answer the question obediently, and you don't need to think about the rest..." Huajia gave Gong Lingxi a cold look.

"Your efficiency makes me worry about my own safety."

The cold gun barrel pressed against his temple, and Lao Song laughed, "Why don't you give the order now and let me crush him."

"You can't do this, he is a citizen of the empire..." Zuo Xiyou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out.

Lao Song put away his gun, spread his hands and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously."

Gong Lingxi reported the names of a series of experiments, which were basically tests of spiritual representation, and every time he and Zuo Xiyou took the test, he and Zuo Xiyou were both hands-on. Xi You came clearly.

They asked Gong Lingxi again, and then asked Zuo Xiyou the same question.

Old Song said, "It's over?"

"I've said all I know."

Lao Song put away the recording equipment and transmitted the conversation just now to his superiors.

"What about the ones who don't know?" When he asked Zuo Xiyou before, it was the old Song who was always asking, but now sixty-year-old Song spoke in a completely different tone from the old Song, with a sense of scrutiny.

The atmosphere in the car was oppressive, and Gong Lingxi felt a little weird. With Zuo Xiyou's identity, these two people seemed too disrespectful, not to mention Zuo Xiyou's attempt to risk himself and act as a bait, he should have a better attitude.

"You don't doubt that he didn't report what he knew, and cooperated with Jiang Liu inside and outside."

"It's not your turn to speak here..." Hua Jia said coldly.

Lao Song looked at Huajia in surprise, and whispered beside him, "You won't really..."

If that successor did such a thing, it would be no small matter, but the problem is that this idea is too absurd.

The sixtieth birthday kicked Lao Song secretly, making him abandon those wild ideas.

"What about things I don't know."

The sixtieth girl tapped her fingers once and for all, and her fingertips touched the back of the chair. Against the light, a faint halo hit him, but I couldn't see his expression clearly.

The car fell silent again.

Gong Lingxi felt very uneasy, he was very worried that the two people on the opposite side would do something inappropriate, but until the car stopped, nothing happened.

The place where the car stopped was the spaceport, and what greeted them was a spaceship.

"Wait, I want to go back together too?" Gong Lingxi suddenly remembered something, and stopped at the security checkpoint.

"It's not safe now, you'd better go back with me..." Zuo Xiyou said.

"But I still have a companion here."

"Then you'd better inform him that you are leaving early."

Gong Lingxi really wanted to leave, but seeing Zuo Xiyou waiting there, she gritted her teeth, and Gong Lingxi turned on the communication.

"It looks like you're all right..." Yan Qingyao's voice came from the other end.

"I made the teacher worry..." Gong Lingxi was a little ashamed, but she still said bravely, "I'm sorry about this incident. I originally invited the teacher out for vacation."

"No need to apologize, your safety is the most important thing."

"Actually, there is one more thing. For some reasons, I have to take a step first."

"You want me to go back alone?" The person opposite frowned slightly, looking a little pitiful.

Gong Lingxi felt ashamed, "I'm sorry."

"Then can I ask for something in return?"

"As long as I can do it."

"Remember what you said, don't miss the appointment again."

After the two finished talking, Yan Qingyao opened the drawer casually, walked out of the room, and threw the stack of papers in his hand into the fireplace.

The spaceship starts and sails into the vast space.

There are only staff members and two passengers on board, the staff members will not appear most of the time, there are only two people in the huge living room, Zuo Xiyou and Gong Lingxi.

Zuo Xiyou has been flipping through the mail for an hour, while Gong Lingxi has kept the same sitting posture.

"Don't be nervous..." After a long time, Zuo Xiyou took the time to say something.

After waiting for a while, Gong Lingxi said, "I'm going to the restaurant."

"The restaurant is at the end of the corridor."

"I have eyes..." Gong Lingxi turned her head and said after her raised feet stopped.

Zuo Xiyou looked up, "You seem to be dissatisfied with me."

"You think too much."

"Then why are you angry?"

"I'm angry with myself..." Gong Lingxi said, "Why am I always kidnapped, why am I always rescued, and this person is the same person."

"You want someone to save you? Yan Qingyao?"

Gong Lingxi took a few steps back, put her hands on the table, "Honor, dignity, responsibility, you think you have it."

Zuo Xiyou was taken aback for a moment, it was a bit beyond his imagination, but he still said calmly, "We'll talk about it when you can do it."

The spaceship docked at Pojunxing, and Gong Lingxi disembarked, but she didn't go back to Lian Zhenxing's home, but went directly to the school. This time, the vacation was exhausted, and the school would start in two days. .

Just the day before the start of school, Gong Lingxi received a notification from the Guqin Association that he had won the final championship of the Guqin Competition and was awarded the membership of the association. The email said that he would receive the champion's medal and representative membership after a while proof.

The news came without surprise or joy.

On the same day, Shang Liu also returned to school. After seeing Gong Lingxi, he was very excited, "Let's compete, I have improved again during this time."

"Better than what?"

Shang Liu would sometimes compete with him in fists and feet, and sometimes in mechs, Gu Gong Lingxi asked this question.

"Mock battle."

"Simulation?" Gong Lingxi thought she heard it wrong, was it the kind of simulated battle where the mecha was controlled by a computer to fight monsters?

"It's a mecha simulation battle. Recently, a new system has been released. It is different from the mecha world. It is a semi-real and semi-illusory system. The system will collect the data of this person and completely simulate his state, just like the real situation. Exactly the same."

"What does that have to do with reality?" Gong Lingxi was depressed. Shang Liu really didn't have the talent to be a commentator. If Yu Qiao was here, the matter could be solved with one sentence.

"If it's a game, the pain you feel is an illusion, tricking your brain, right?"

"Well, it does."

"But this game will make people feel painful. As long as the people inside are attacked, you will also feel the same pain. The reactions that will occur in actual combat will be perfectly presented, even death."

"That's not as good as actual combat?" Gong Lingxi really didn't get the advantages of this technology.

"In reality, how can it be possible to compete with people from all over the universe, and it is not only mecha battle, after a while, it will also launch individual battles, team battles, etc. I have a hunch that this game will soon become popular of."

Gong Lingxi's name was abandoned as always, and it was simply generated randomly.

The Sword of Destroying the World, Disdain for All Heroes, Invincible Loneliness, Overlord himself...

This name competes with each other, it is simply unbearable to look directly at.

"Lingxi, I have already entered the game, and my account number is Liu Gongzi."

After a while, an invitation appeared on Shang Liu's screen, "Ran Yan invites you to fight, do you agree?"

Shang Liu pressed agree, and the battle began.

Since this was just practice, both opted for a basic mech as a warm up.

After a few back and forth, Gong Lingxi has adapted to the operation in the game, and at the same time felt a lot of pressure. After a holiday, Shang Liu's strength has improved significantly.

If it was the past, Gong Lingxi could make up for the lack of mecha combat by relying on her mental strength and better overall situation.But now, he was forced to be immobile by Shang Liu.

Gong Lingxi didn't take the initiative to practice, and in a short period of time, the operation will not regress.

What has changed is Shang Liu. He can operate the mecha more freely, and even the interval between each operation is shortened.

In terms of operating time alone, Gong Lingxi is better. This kind of thing is inherent, and it is difficult to make up for it. It is this advantage that allows him to react quickly when he lacks experience.

But if you rely too much on these things, you will fall into a passive state.

Shang Liu does not have this trouble, he is very familiar with mechas, even if he is not as good as Gong Lingxi in one or two conditions, it doesn't matter, because now he feels freedom, the freedom to manipulate mechas, just like his own body .

Everyone has a familiar field, and in his field, he is the master.

Gong Lingxi's piano, Zuo Xiyou's sword.

Shang Liu is also working towards this goal, and now he has taken a crucial step.

The battle is over, the winner has been divided.

After that, the two competed a few more times, and Gong Lingxi also gradually figured out the game settings. Apart from the pain, the damage and failure of the mecha seemed very real. If it wasn't for the game interface that popped up suddenly, it could almost be confused with the real one.

The game interface is very simple. Currently, the only battle items that can be selected are mecha battles. The icons belonging to individual battles and team battles are dimmed.

And what Shang Liu said was quickly confirmed. The school had just started for a week, and everyone around was talking about games.

After more than a month, the personal battle project was opened.

Suddenly, there was an influx of students from the college, and those who could enter the college basically had special abilities, and these people were also militants.

Out of curiosity, Gong Lingxi also participated in a few individual competitions, her level was uneven, she didn't meet any masters, but there were quite a few rookies who didn't know anything.

With the accumulation of records, the strength began to be clearly stratified, and there were also live broadcasts that relied on games to make money.

After the beginning of spring, the popularity of the game dropped, and it was replaced by another event—the All-Universe Youth Warriors League.

The Ziwei Empire lost to the Zombie Kingdom in the competition for places, but because the Ziwei Empire itself has a place, it can still participate in the league, and the participants were selected as early as the previous semester, and they are basically seniors. There was one exception, but no one was surprised.

"get out of class is over, are you going to eat?" Huajian asked the last person left after the crowd dispersed.

"Sorry, you go eat first, I want to practice for a while."

Unlike last semester, this semester they had more opportunities to practice, and the more they got in touch with weapons, Gong Lingxi realized that she knew too little.

Huajian didn't leave immediately, he just watched quietly, the parts in front of him quickly disappeared, and a complete weapon appeared in front of him, "After returning from Tianguixing, you have become more diligent than before, what is it? reason?"

"Everyone is getting stronger and I can't stop."

"What is the purpose of becoming stronger?"

"If you don't become stronger, you can't do anything. Don't you have a reason to want to become stronger?"

If not, how could Hua Jian be admitted to the weapons department, and how could he participate in the competition.

"I want to be someone's helper."

If Gong Lingxi turns her head, she will find that Huajian, who is usually indifferent, looks soft at this moment.

"Well, then work towards this goal."

Gong Lingxi's voice has always been flat, but firm, so everything seems to be taken for granted.

Lowering her eyes, Huajian didn't answer for a long time.

The sound of machinery turning came from the room.

"Click-"

A sound, clearly transmitted to the brain.

"Next semester, I will transfer to another department."

"Where do you want to go?"

"Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine."

The sound of footsteps gradually going away sounded in the corridor. Looking over, it was the back of a person leaving.

Gong Lingxi withdrew her gaze, and then turned her attention back to the parts in her hand.

The lights in the building gradually went out, and the lights in the building not far away were turned on.In addition, there were bursts of cheers.

Today is the first game in the northern division of the league. Ziwei Empire successfully won. This is a grand event in the universe, and the school broadcasts it every year.

After closing the door of the classroom, Gong Lingxi muttered to herself, "The universe, I really want to see it."

In the following days, Gong Lingxi will devote herself to studying. His memory is very good. If it is only the courses of this semester, he has already memorized them by heart, but this is not enough. His foundation is not as good as others. He has to learn too many things.

In addition to schoolwork, Gong Lingxi also has to take into account concrete training.

When you are doing one thing with your heart, you have no time to take care of other things. Time flies, and before you know it, it is the end of the semester.

During the period, the competition in the Northern Division ended, and a total of two teams were selected. The Ziwei Empire encountered the Yuan Empire ahead of schedule and was eliminated.

Huajian took the test for changing majors, and has successfully passed, and will move into a new dormitory next semester.

News of the marriage between Chang Ruolan and Song Zhenyu spread in the school. Shang Liu and Song Zhenyu fought in a mecha duel, but lost to Song Zhenyu.

Gong Lingxi met Chang Ruolan once by chance, and even though there was news of the marriage, there were still many people who flattered her.

The two were not familiar with each other, but Gong Lingxi still asked, "Is the marriage real?"

"What? Want to change your taste?"

"Then pretend I didn't ask."

"The marriage is real, but it's not Song Zhenyu..." Chang Ruolan has always been confident, and her eyebrows and eyes are very flamboyant, but now it seems to have been stained with frost, and it suddenly dimmed. "People like us will always marry A person who has only met a few times, but has the same power and age, and looks like a man and woman in the eyes of outsiders."

"We? Who else?"

"You don't know yet, Huajian, who has been with you all the time, has a marriage contract with Ye Rong."
