White Moonlight Entertainment dormitory.
Zoe strode up the stairs, his killing aura spreading out in all directions. Passing trainees scrambled to get out of his way.
The empty mineral water bottle had been crushed by the angry sniper, and the room echoed the sound of crushed plastic.
Zoe was in a state of rage as he arrived in front of Wen Lin’s room.
He pulled open the door furiously––
The little robot that had just finished cleaning up Wen Lin’s room was very attentive as it came to the door, “Mineral water bottle, recycling, thank you. Recycling, thank you!”
Zoe pushed the robot away viciously and squeezed into the room, “Little Witch’s been cheated into a marriage!”
He opened up his terminal.
Wu Jin: Sudden marriage! [Floating City marriage certificate][Yeah!]
Wen Lin opened up his terminal, showing a message that was completely identical.
Zoe slapped the table, “Is this decent, is this right?! Little Witch’s only 9 years old and has already been cheated into going to get a marriage license. Wei Shi’s schemes are really deep, and he can’t be underestimated––”
Wen Lin spoke thoughtfully, “It’s not a bad thing for young people to settle down. Didn’t he tell you to your face last month that they were planning to get married?”
Zoe: “No way! No way!”
Robot: “Mineral water bottle recycling, thank you.”
Zoe: “It’s indecent!”
Robot: “Mineral water bottle recycling, thank you.”
Zoe growled, “Didn’t that guy Wei Shi draw two Floating City month long special training cards? Isn’t Little Witch supposed to be lifting weights in the training room? How did he get tricked––”
Wen Lin smiled and opened the door, then invited both the robot and Zoe to leave, “It’s not a big deal. You two continue!”
Robot: “Mineral water bottle––”
Zoe clenched his fists and tossed the bottle into the robot’s big pocket.
The corridor was quiet again.
Zoe thought about it for a few seconds and was finally influenced by Wen Lin’s composure. A Floating City marriage certificate wasn’t recognized in the Federation, and many couples who went to Floating City for a holiday liked to pick up a certificate just for fun. When he thought of it like this, Zoe was relieved. Little Witch was still single according to Federal law, and there was no hurry to get married.
Wei Shi as well... the White Moonlight team barely acknowledged him as Little Witch’s boyfriend. His current actions were really too slick, and as the team captain, Zoe was really not happy with him. However, from another angle, at least it expressed that Contestant Wei wasn’t simply playing with Little Witch’s feelings.
Zoe stood at the door, pondered for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses.
This wasn’t the problem.
The problem was: how many messages had Little Witch sent out? Would the media learn of this? Would the low-end tabloids catch wind of this and lead the audience to question whether or not Scarf CP was faking their matches in the Crosson Show––
Zoe strode across the White Moonlight with large strides.
He encountered Secretary Qu, who was currently practicing moonlight yoga. Ms. Qu expressed that Little Witch hadn’t sent her any messages. At this hour, Little Witch must have fallen asleep cutely after watching cartoons!
Caesar’s bedroom.
Zoe knocked on the door and frowned.
Caesar and Red were howling and screeching karaoke with each other long distance over the screen.
Caesar: “South heaven north war!” Red: “Hey!”
Red: “Heroes walk on the floor!” Caesar: “Yeah!”
Zoe had a belly full of anger as he beat down Caesar, “Did you receive&#k2013;&#k2013;Little Witch’s message&#k2013;&#k2013;”
Caesar tossed his terminal over. His tiger eyes were as big as copper bells after being wronged, “No! I didn’t order takeout tonight!”
Zoe opened up the list of unread messages and wasn’t surprised to see Wu Jin’s “Sudden marriage! Yeah!”. Caesar was completely unable to hide things from others. Zoe calmly deleted the message and tossed the terminal back at Caesar.
After leaving, Zoe thought about it over and over again about who else might have received a message. There was still Jingyi’s Ming Yao!
Little Ming and Little Witch’s friendship was like two little children who played on the seesaw together!
Zoe skillfully sent Ming Yao a message, attacking the topic from another angle.
Ming Yao replied quickly, sending him a screenshot.
Wu Jin: Sudden marriage! [Floating City marriage certificate][Yeah!]
Ming Yao: Holy shit! You think you’re the only one who can edit images?! [Floating City marriage certificate with Jingyi Double C’s names filled in][yeah!]
Ming Yao: Hey where are youuuuuuuuu???
Ming Yao: Alright, it’s been five minutes, and you haven’t shown up. I unilaterally declare that I’ve defeated Little Witch!
Zoe was finally relieved. He opened up his terminal and sent a few solemn words, “We’ll talk when you’re back.”
After the Autumn Festival ended, Floating City once again fell into a happy atmosphere of preparing for another festival.
Due to the artificial climate regulation, the Spring Festival Garden Party would be held two months later.
If Floating City wasn’t in the midst of a festival, then it was waiting for the next one.
Wu Jin slept, ate, and trained his static shooting for a few days. On one particular day, he actually saw Wei Yan walking down from the Floating Tower through a window.
Before Wei Yan got into the suspension car, Mao Dongqing gave him a pat on the shoulder, wishing him all the best.
After seeing off Wei Yan, Mao Dongqing noticed that Wu Jin’s head was still stuck out curiously from the other side of the window. He explained, “He’s going back to R-Code.”
“He’d also been tricked by Shao Yu. That was why he appeared in the warehouse that Floating City had been preparing to assault. Brother Wei offered Wei Yan citizenship in Floating City, but Wei Yan declined.”
Wu Jin was stunned.
Floating City held the Federation’s genetic technology research, and the genetically modified humans here had the same rights as the citizens of the city. In the future, they would establish a Floating City battle team. For Wei Yan, this was a much better option than returning to R-Code Entertainment.
Mao Dongqing said, “At the beginning, most of the genetically modified came to Floating City with Brother Wei, but a few of them remained in the Federation. They are either afraid to leave or unable to leave. Right now, R-Code can only make money from the survival show industry. Investors who have spent money in it are hoping to see returns on their investments.”
“Wei Yan is the only one who can support R-Code. Because Shao Yu left, and Brother Wei also left, he can’t leave.”
“As soon as Wei Yan leaves, there will be no one else. Only when Wei Yan is able to achieve results will the expensive mental pacifiers be sent to R-Code to be assigned to the other genetically modified people there.”
Wu Jin looked in the direction where the suspension car had disappeared.
Then, he looked back. On the 12th floor of Floating Tower, researchers in white lab coats were still busy gathering information on the ‘emotional lock’.
Researcher Song had been busy all day and night and was sleeping on a recliner by the French windows.
Mao Dongqing showed an expression that almost looked like a smile, “The research materials that Little Witch recalled have provided new inspiration for the Research Institute. I represent Brother Wei, Wei Yan, and myself in expressing our thanks.”
From behind him.
Wei Shi beckoned Wu Jin, then led him into a cold dungeon.
He handed Wu Jin a handgun, a tube of N-type memory agent, and an implanted control chip.
The man opened up the electronic door for Wu Jin.
A few minutes later, Wei Shi escorted Wu Jin outside.
The youth slowly breathed out a sigh of relief.
Three days passed by quickly.
Wu Jin and the big boss practiced ‘instant sniping’, and his success rate increased from 0% to 20%.
Wei Shi used all possible methods to help Wu Jin integrate into the ‘futuristic civilization’ and make up for the gaps in his knowledge.
By the time the two of them were summoned back by the Crosson Show, Wu Jin could recite the chemical periodic table that had been expanded ten times over, had memorized over a dozen electromagnetic and gravitational wave and power laws, and passed the first level of the driving test for driving a suspension car.
Before returning to the Crosson base, the two of them were still waging war against the textbook <Azure Cosmos New Basic Physics>.
Exercise 21b.6:
Wei Shi’s answer was 23囗μ0/4π.
Wu Jin’s answer, 21囗μ0/4π.
Wu Jin swallowed a mouthful of water, his expression scared as he opened up the answer.
23囗μ0/4π.
Wu Jin buried his head in the exercise book. He was going crazy, “Ahhhhhhh! I made a mistake at this integration step!”
Gambling meant being willing to lose.
Wu Jin opened up his terminal and slowly started to type. <Crosson Show Trainee’s Winter Vacation Report>, 1000 words each for both of them.
Wu Jin started on his own report: It’s sunny and clear today with no clouds in the sky. I learned a set of A-level instant snipe tactics...
Then he went to type out the big boss’s report: It’s sunny and clear today, and white clouds are floating in the sky. I learned the mysterious Center Axis Relock shooting technique...
Wei Shi took advantage of when Wu Jin was busy typing out words.
He stuck a piece of test paper on the back of Wu Jin’s neck. It was white; he removed it.
While writing the big boss’s winter vacation training report, Wu Jin lifted up his head to look at his legal partner. Wei Shi wore frameless glasses as he listened to a military firearms trade negotiations with Floating City using the miniature earphone hanging on his right ear.
Occasionally, Wei Shi’s hands would move as fast as lightning as he checked and verified data on his terminal.
The King was the symbol of Floating City.
Wei Shi didn’t need to be proficient in these things.
But, he was learning.
On the spacious wooden study table were learning materials, a virtual projection encyclopedia, and piles of professional books. Wu Jin and Wei Shi had one side each, and the sound of a pen and keyboard rang out alternately as they both made up for the years they’d spent in the R-Code Base.
When the negotiations were over, Wu Jin was very brazen as he pulled over the projection screen so that he could play with it himself.
Wu Jin’s facial features were soft, and the projection screen added a soft glow. The youth who was growing up now looked more mature than before.
Wei Shi’s eyes darkened slightly.
His fingertips slid skillfully into the small curls, and he scooped Wu Jin up to take a few bites.
After a while, Wu Jin protested indignantly, “Just now, you were sticking me every five minutes. How come you’re doing it every minute now!”
Wei Shi was perfunctory, “Oh, is that so.”
At 6PM that night, Wei Shi disappeared as usual and did not reappear until 11PM.
Meanwhile, in the Floating Tower clinic.
Zhou Nan ordered several medical robots to take away Wei Shi’s treatment cabin. While talking to Mao Dongqing, he once again expressed his doubts about whether or not Brother Wei could participate in the next elimination match.
Zhou Nan tried to make a comparison, “Brother Wei was in the consciousness world for too long, and he himself was also dragged into the subconscious. It’s the same as last time when Little Witch went into the treatment cabin to find Brother Wei and bring him out. If he teams up with Little Witch, these two people will really have taken over all the slots for ‘weak, sick and elderly’! Hey, maybe they’ll even be the first team to be eliminated!”
Mao Dongqing: “Not necessarily.”
Zhou Nan: “Oh?”
Mao Dongqing: “When Brother Wei was 16, even if he hadn’t touched a gun yet, he already had a sense for combat. Taking another ten thousand steps back, even if the aftereffects act up, his muscle memory still exists.”
The next morning.
After a long holiday, the Crosson Show was back in full swing and ready to film.
Wu Jin said goodbye to Floating City and happily followed the big boss to board the star ship.
The word ‘married’ that appeared when his chip was scanned seemed to remind him constantly that he was now a Mature Witch! He had to take on responsibility for the family!
So, when Wu Jin ordered popcorn, he directly went for the family option.
He ate so much that he was still hiccuping by the time they got off the ship.
When they landed, Wu Jin hadn’t quite reacted yet.
Outside the window were lush, green trees. Their arrival point wasn’t in City C, which was closest to the Crosson Show base, but rather at a place on the other side of the blue planet.
Wei Shi: “I’m taking you to see someone.”
The suspension car shuttled between low-rise houses and came to a stop in front of a small courtyard.
A wooden sign hung on the fence door.
“Lisa Alfaso.”
Juurensha: Ahahaha, in Zoe’s mind, Little Witch is always 9 years old. The good doctor returns???
xiin: i love, love, love, love the way Wei Shi helps Wu Jin learn about the world. and i love, love, love the domestic scene that includes Wei Shi also learning about how to be a big boss.
