Chapter 86: Chapter 86

Tang Bai holds Xie Ruhang's arm and introduces him to the chief exam tomorrow.

Tomorrow's test format is a simulated game selection, with game scores accounting for twenty percent of the chief's test.

This selection is to live plus holographic game way, the book wrote this time the theme of the game is interstellar voyage, the game is not only the test of professional ability, but also the organization and leadership skills, and so on.

"In the book, it says that you are teamed up with Gu Tunan and three others." After Tang Bai said Gu Tunan, he was a bit curious, "Say, does Gu Tunan like you or not?"

Xie Ruhang pondered for a moment, saying deeply, "I think he likes me."

"He told me I was his only rival, and tried to sniff my pheromones, before he sent well wishes and lemon emojis under our circle of friends that weren't genuine well wishes at first glance."

Tang Bai sniffed and hugged Xie Ruhang's arm, saying seriously, "Then you can't team up with him this time, what if your feelings heat up?"

Gu Tunan on the other side sneezed, he continued to browse the rules of tomorrow's simulation game, when he saw the rule "the game is a team mode, fixed five-member team, free team mode before the start of the game, when the members of the team under the free team mode are less than five, the mastermind will randomly assign them", he was holding a trace of a heart that was not dead yet. He clicked on the chat interface with Tang Bai with a hint of his heart not yet dead.

No, Tang Bai will probably turn him down if he asks him directly if he can team up.

Gu Tunan, who was beginning to feel better about himself, thought for a moment and clicked on Xie Ruhang's account.

Tang Bai will surely team up with Xie Ruhang. As long as he's teammates with Xie Ruhang, won't he be on Tang Bai's team?

Gu Tunan's passion for Xie Ruhang is focused on how well the two of them know each other in battle, and how, together, their team will surely come in first place.

The message popped up in front of Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang.

Xie Ruhang calmly declines, "You're a good alpha, but I already have Tang Bai and the rest of my teammates."

Tang Bai gives Xie Ruhang a thumbs-up, and Xie Ruhang points to his face, giving Tang Bai a serious wink.

"Why do you want to kiss whenever you move." Tang Bai had a "I really can't do anything about it" look on his face as he wrapped his arms around Xie Ruhang's neck and kissed him.

Two people's hearts are sweet, they continue to stick together like glue, "The background of the game is energy depletion, we players sailed in the universe, the goal is to discover the energy star, the game on the way to meet the bugs, eliminate the bugs can add points to the npc to learn the skills or self-study can also be added to the points, the first to find the energy star of the player squad all plus 10 points. "

Xie Ruhang nods, "Sounds like it would be easy."

"It just sounds like oh, two NPCs in this game are going to turn against each other." Tang Bai gives Xie Ruhang spoilers.

The captain and second-in-command of the ship are NPCs, and the players' goal is to find the energy star, which may seem to overlap with the NPCs' goal, but when the ship still hasn't found the energy star late in the middle and the ship's reserve of energy crystals is continually being depleted to a red line, the NPCs will want to return to the ship.

Because the reserve energy at this time could still support the ship back to the Federation, and if they didn't return and couldn't find an energy star, they'd never make it back.

At this point there is a conflict between the player's and the NPC's goals, and the worst that can happen is that the NPC kills all the players on the ship to force a return.

In the book, Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan are on a team, and the two of them violently suppress the NPCs, forcing them to continue their voyage and keep learning airship piloting techniques from them.

The day before they discovered the Energy Star, the two NPCs committed suicide due to navigational depression.

"The book mentioned an easy mode to pass the level, it's to improve the relationship with the NPCs and keep the NPCs in a good mood, the better the relationship between the NPCs and us, the later they will defect, or even won't defect, and you will also get high points for brushing up the goodwill to a very high level." Tang Bai said to Xie Ruhang, "So when the time comes, we try to have to brush up the npc's good feelings!"

"I'll listen to you." Xie Ruhang said after looking at Tang Bai for a while, "You're so likable, the npc's initial favorability must be high once they see you."

"Here we go again, here we go again, your rainbow farts are back!" Tang Bai poked Xie Ruhang, "I think you'll definitely be able to increase your favorability by misoing the npc with your rainbow fart streak."

Tang Bai said, rubbing Xie Ruhang's face, "Tell me, why is your mouth like honey?"

"For kissing you." Xie Ruhang said with a smile in her phoenix eyes.

Honey herself grunted and leaned against Xie Ruhang's shoulder, "Alright, love talk is aborted, let's get down to business, do you have a candidate for this free group?"

"Take Qiu Yan and Lu Lv with you, their operation level is okay. And if they have more points, their final scores will look better." Xie Ruhang asked, "What about you?"

Tang Bai looked at his list, there were a lot of people who wanted to team up with him, "Rong Yao Well, he's the third place winner of the Mecha Building Competition, I've teamed up with him a lot for his Physical Fitness class, he's not weak in this aspect of Mecha Building, and he's quite a nice guy too."

After deciding on the team, Tang Bai was a bit worried about Xie Ruhang's condition tomorrow, "You're still in the susceptible phase tomorrow, can you get relief by just meeting me in-game?"

"Yes." Xie Ruhang hugged Tang Bai, closed his eyes and thought, "It's so good to meet this person, so good that it makes him feel that life suddenly has fun and hope, so good that he wants to say love words to Tang Bai for the rest of his life and turn white together with Tang Bai".

Day two.

Tang Bai was lying in the game capsule and heard the system explaining the background of the game to him: "In the year 389 of the Astrological Calendar, mankind entered the early stage of Dyson Sphere civilization.

The Dyson Sphere intercepted most of the radiation from the stars to supply human civilization's progress, and as humanity became dependent on and abused the Dyson Sphere, galactic energy sources were nearing depletion, and the galactic civilizations that relied on the Dyson Sphere were in dire straits, and they were in desperate need of a new energy supply.

You're on board the Explorer, a ship with a mission to find an energy star for the Federation, with Captain Elderly Kang, his second-in-command Lu En, and your crew of five.

In the game, players destroy every Bug +1 point, every new skill +1 point, the first team to discover the energy star all members +10 points, other ways to get points need to be explored by the players themselves, the game is terminated after the player discovers the energy star, I wish you guys a happy game!

As the system's explanatory tones ended, Tang Bai felt himself enter the game, and he opened his eyes to see the silver-white roof of the hibernation pod, with his game panel floating above it.

[Player Name]: Tang Bai

【Occupation】: Mech builder and airship maintainer

[Base Attribute Points]: Intelligence 9, Agility 6, Strength 6, Stamina 6, Charisma 9, Spirit 9

[Points]: 0

Just as Tang Bai was lying in his hibernation pod looking at his attribute panel, he heard a man's lazy voice from the outside world: "Since you've all awakened, get up and get to work."

Tang Bai tapped the opening button of the hibernation pod, the pod door opened automatically, he sat up and saw an NPC who was swallowing clouds.

The NPC was a somewhat disheveled alpha with a scruffy beard and a silver and white spaceship uniform casually thrown over his body, sitting alone on the ground with his eyes set on a cigarette.

Floating on his body was an npc panel that could only be seen by players, and the only information displayed on it was [Deputy: Lu En].

A system beep sounded in Tang Bai's brain, "You can interact with NPCs, but you can't divulge real world information to them, violators will have their points zeroed out."

Lu En looked at the five players listlessly, and when he saw Tang Bai, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and Lu En was surprised, "omega?"

On this ship, Lu En hadn't seen an omega in two years.

"Ding - npc Lu En's favorability towards you is +1," the system beep sounded in Tang Bai's brain.

Tang Bai froze for a moment, he didn't think that brushing npc favor could really be so easy, was it because the game showed that his charisma value was 9?

"Alright rookies, I know you've just woken up from your hibernation pods and aren't awake yet, next you go do some daily tasks to move your muscles, mechmasters go to the armory to pick up your space combat mechs and skill up your future combat gear, mechbuilders and spaceship mechanics go to perform routine maintenance on your weapons and spaceships." Lu En laid out his tasks and then proceeded to sit on the floor of the lounge and smoke, it looked like he wasn't going to be able to offer any help to the players.

"Wow! This spaceship is so cool!" Qiu Yan looked around and wondered.

Xie Ruhang walks towards Tang Bai, "I'm a mech."

"I'm a mech builder and airship maintainer." Tang Bai looked at the same crew uniforms he and Xie Ruhang were wearing and laughed, "Do we count this as a couple's outfit? Let's go take a picture together later!"

Xie Ruhang nodded, and halfway through the point he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Tang Bai wondered.

Xie Ruhang opened the door to the lounge and walked out with Tang Bai before saying to Tang Bai in confusion, "The system suggests that Lu En has a -1 favorability towards me."

Tang Bai: "Pfft."

Tang Bai : "When we first met Lu En had a +1 favorability towards me."

Xie Ruhang said quietly, "If I kissed you in front of an NPC, would Lu En's favorability go straight to -10?"

Tang Bai laughed unkindly as he stood on his tiptoes and chirped Xie Ruhang quickly while no one was looking here.

Xie Ruhang lifts his lips to take a photo with Tang Bai in front of the window, where a vast sea of stars looks like a black velvet curtain sprinkled with diamond powder.

Qiu Yan and his entourage came out of the lounge looking at each other in disbelief, blinded by Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang's couple selfie.

The pop-ups following their group were similarly blindsided:

Isn't this the chief exam? How can someone be in love in the open! Reported!

[Look at Qiu Yan's face. Ha-ha-ha-ha. It's like a billion blows to the friendlies.]

When is Tang Lao going to broadcast a couple's photo shoot technique?

Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang end their selfie as they walk over to the ship's arsenal, Tang Bai and Rong Yao look around at the vast array of weapons, the game is set in a higher civilization than the real civilization, and many of the weapons here are realistically proposed weapons about future concepts.

Xie Ruhang, Lu Lv, and Qiu Yan have found their space combat mechs.

Just as these three mechs were still familiarizing themselves with their new equipment, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded inside the ship, "Alarm! A small insect colony has been encountered! Please dispatch the mechs!"
