From that day on, the cafeteria became a popular place to eat hot pot, for lunch and dinner, and occasionally as a late-night snack when some people were training.
At first, only students who couldn't resist the temptation of food opened a small stove. However, when someone in the professor's family courtyard smelled the hot pot wafting out, they realized that it had become pervasive.
Of course, Chen Xingluo and Cheng Xi already knew this.
The hot pot restaurant is making a lot of money every day, and the Federal Military University has become the main takeout company. The two shop owners had to order a few extra robots to take care of the packaging.
"So there are still many rich people~"
"..."
Cheng Xi didn't hear a response for a long time. When he turned around, he saw Shen Xingluo immersed in a pile of equipment. His big, jointed hands were busy holding tools, and his dark eyes were focused and focused.
...No matter how many times I see it, it still feels inconsistent.
It is said that the scholars who studied hard for decades in ancient times should be liberal arts students. Why does this person look like a science student?
Don't understand, don't understand.
Cheng Xi had a good habit of seeing through things she couldn't figure out. This doubt flashed in her mind for a second before she was forgotten and went into space to train.
The business on the first and second floors of the Star Food Store was on the right track. With the help of robots and 666, the two of them happily took over as shopkeepers without any hesitation and focused all their energy on their studies.
The climate of the capital star is very suitable for human habitation, and the area where the military academy is located has four distinct seasons.
At the beginning of December, the first snow of the year ushered in. The scenery was no longer just a purely technological silver-gray, but was replaced by white snow.
Cheng Xi stepped on the creaking ground and exhaled a breath of hot breath that instantly dissipated in the air.
Ah~ the air on this planet is so good, not polluted at all! (*^▽^*)
"boom--"
A huge snowball hit her and exploded into snow chunks of different sizes, followed by Tang Tang's unbridled laughter.
"Why don't you hide?"
"How can you get revenge if you avoid it?"
Cheng Xi showed a kind smile and gathered strength with his hands. Tang Tang, who was a few meters away, was instantly fixed in place by a thick wooden vine.
"What the hell? You're cheating!"
Using superpowers to have a snowball fight?
"Why can't I use it? Superpowers are also a kind of strength."
"..." That makes sense.
While Tang Tang was stunned, Cheng Xi dragged the kneaded snowball to the front and poured it into her collar without politeness.
"Ah ah ah ah it's so cold, help me -"
"No one will save you even if your throat is broken, so just accept your fate..."
Before Cheng Xi finished speaking, he felt a wave of energy lingering nearby, and the remaining half of the snow in his hand quickly turned into a puddle of water.
Huh?
"Didn't you expect that I can still use my powers even if my hands and feet are trapped? Hehehe——"
Tang Tang has a fire-type ability, and she has come up with a lot of little ideas during training during this period. Such difficulties are really not a problem for her.
Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows in interest, and the metal power wrapped the snow on the ground and melted it into a snowball.
So a snowball fight with supernatural powers started.
Qi Li, who was passing by, became interested and quickly joined in. Of course, his opponents could not be the two girls, but pointed the finger at Shen Xingluo, who was standing aside and almost blending in with the scenery.
"Chen Mo, come help me and beat him together!"
Chen Mo: "..."
Chen Xingluo easily swung a vine and threw him far away.
Chen Mo: "?!"
The honest boy is forced to join the fray.
When several people got together, they also had various abilities. Other people passing by found it interesting and quickly joined in.
Someone saw the cleaning robot with sharp eyes, and used his superpower to stop it in place. Then he turned around and started fighting with his classmates. The robot could only stay in place pitifully.
To break free from bondage.
This is what Song Changyan saw when he arrived at the training ground.
"You're all very energetic, huh?"
He grinned expressionlessly (don't ask how he did it), "I hope you can have this kind of unwillingness to admit defeat in the final exam."
Everyone trembled when they heard this and lined up as quickly as possible.
Song Changyan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, "Now we will announce the content of the final assessment."
As a student at a military university, daily training is common. If you want to quickly integrate into the life of the army in the future, actual combat is inevitable, so it is also common to be pulled out for assessment from time to time.
These students are well prepared.
The specific time for the final assessment is half a month later. The location is located at No. 97 of the Hunting Star. It lasts for 15 days. The assessment goal is to earn points by hunting mutant beasts. The ranking list will be updated in real time.
The list is arranged based on individual points. Considering the ferocity of high-level mutant beasts, students can form their own teams.
"The assessment requirements and precautions will be sent to your optical brain later."
Song Changyan put away his brain and put his hands behind his back, "What are you still doing here? Are you just a wooden stake? Go and train on your own!"
With a "boom", everyone quickly dispersed.
***
"There's still half a month until the final exam...that means it will start later this month?"
"December 25th, to be precise."
Cheng Xi flipped through the textbook and read it carefully, writing something on the paper next to it from time to time.
Tang Tang sat on one side, holding a pen in his mouth and lamenting, "Why do you still have to take the damn written test?"
"Perhaps it's because cultural classes can't be used in actual combat?"
It's like a history class. You can't send them to a museum to point to antiques and tell them about major events and every influential person on the spot. That would be too much.
"Okay, the exam will start the day after tomorrow, so review quickly."
The practical assessment is scheduled for half a month later. It is not a date chosen randomly by the school. Of course, there will be other exams in the half month set aside.
The talents trained by the military academy are not just reckless men who can only fight, but also must have a certain accumulation of knowledge. This can be seen from teachers such as Song Changyan and Lin Qing.
However, there are three months of classes and one month of assessment (written test + practical combat). Only military schools can do this kind of thing.
Cheng Xi scratched the top of his head and successfully removed a few hair strands.
Exams make people bald!
￣へ￣
Students are originally an Alexander group, and students during exam period are even more so.
This has led to the fact that after December, you can meet hard-working people everywhere with books in hand and studying hard, and hot pot has become a stress-relieving tool for candidates waiting to take exams.
Who can resist a steaming hot pot in the cold weather?
nobody.
nobody!
"My dear, please allow me to go to your house for dinner tonight."
The day before the actual battle, Tang Tang walked into the last examination room with a pencil case in his arms, "I want to eat hot pot, and have one of the dishes on the flyer!"
"..." Congratulations, after lighting up the foodie persona, you have learned the heroic declaration of "speculating a book" without any teacher.
Cheng Xi nodded, "Call Qi Li and the others. There are so many people and it's so lively."
The last exam was a history class with lengthy textbooks and fragmented knowledge points, and was extremely boring. What Tang Tang was most impatient about was memorizing the knowledge points, and he lived in dire straits almost every day in order to prepare for the exam.
But Cheng Xi simply felt that there was no need to understand - maybe one day they would return to the ancient plane. Understanding so much interstellar history was a waste of brain capacity.
This exam was an hour and a half of torture for them, so the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they stepped out of the classroom door.
[In view of the general environment,
Tang Tang held the textbook and smiled sinisterly, "From now on, it has a better place to go."
"Study or collection room?"
"neither."
"where is that?"
"Shredder."
"......good idea."
Cheng Xi agreed very much and secretly planned how to take action.
What, you said it would be used someday?
Doesn’t Shen Xingluo also have one?
Not a problem at all.
"Tangtangtangtangtangtang!"
Gu Chaoxi came out of nowhere, the excitement on his face was about to overflow, "You said that the owner of the hot pot restaurant invited us to dinner, is it true?"
Since the first time they had hot pot together, the two of them had bumped into each other more often in the cafeteria.
So the five-person group had an extra meal partner, and it continues to this day. For this reason, Qi Li even formed a group to discuss which dish and pot base are the most delicious.
Perhaps because of privacy concerns, a few people tacitly agreed not to mention the identities of Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi. This also resulted in the shopkeeper being right in front of them, and the silly child was still asking questions over and over again.
"Tell me quickly, how did you meet the shop owner? Is it possible that that person has some connection with the Tang family? Then can I go out to eat more often in the future! Hey, don't you know if you want to go to the shop to eat now? You have to make a reservation in advance, which is troublesome bb..."
Tang Tang was stunned by him.
Cheng Xi looked up at the sky.
Come again, come the chatterbox with his trash talk.
"Shut up!"
Tang Tang couldn't bear it anymore, "Won't you ask yourself later? Do you have no mouth or just no brain!"
"..." So fierce~o(╥﹏╥)o
Gu Chaoxi shrank subconsciously, feeling timid and courageous at the same time, "Then, when you meet the person, can you introduce me to him?"
"..."
Tangtang is silent now, so should I introduce it now or introduce it now or introduce it now?
good question.
When they arrived at the hot pot restaurant, the steaming hot pot was already bubbling. Cheng Xi asked the robot to heat it up when he left the classroom.
On the left is the bottom of the spicy and soup pot, on the right is the bottom of the pot with tomatoes and mushrooms. The shelves next to the table are filled with meat, vegetables and mushrooms, and hawthorn juice and fruit wine are placed on the top.
Qi Li had already been gearing up to go to the small ingredients area, followed closely by the others. Only Gu Chaoxi looked dreamy and acted mechanically.
"Hey, I remember you're not jealous?"
"What...ah, yes, I'm not jealous."
Gu Chaoxi put down the vinegar bottle in his hand and patted his cheek.
Star God, it turns out that the owner of the hot pot restaurant is so young, and he is also his classmate. This is incredible (ΩДΩ)!
!
But the hot pot is really delicious, and the fruit wine is also delicious, oooo~ bah bah bah.
***
Hunting Star No. 97.
The battleship departed from the Capital Star and traveled through three wormholes for 6 hours, arriving at its destination in the afternoon of the first day.
Song Changyan, wearing a green military uniform, stood at the door and gave way to the door.
"I believe you are already familiar with the assessment rules, so - I wish you good luck."
He was still the class teacher who didn't say much, not even a single extra word.
The students of the supernatural department have long been accustomed to his way of speaking. They walked out of the battleship one after another and walked towards their assessment site.
Cheng Xi followed Shen Xingluo and slowly opened his eyes when he got used to the sunlight above his head. Everything he saw was green.
Hunting Star No. 97 is completely different from the capital star with four distinct seasons, especially the current mountain forest, where trees are shaded all year round and the air is maintained at a temperature suitable for living things.
But this is not paradise.
Big trees over a century old cover the sky and the sun, and from time to time there are sounds in the forest.
There were roars of mutated beasts, and gorgeous and charming flowers could be seen everywhere in the bushes. No one knew what venom they would spray out in the next second. The weeds under their feet were all showing their teeth and claws, making everyone dare not look down upon them.
Survival of the fittest here follows the most basic laws of nature.
Cheng Xi adapted to the change from the cold winter to summer. She took off her coat and threw it into the space, carefully examining the environment in front of her.
Before the actual combat assessment even started, she smelled the danger in the air.
Even though she knew that this forest and even the entire Hunting Star had been inspected in advance by the university patrol team, she still couldn't stop the bad premonition that surged in her heart.
This line of work probably won’t be too peaceful.
she thinks.
As more and more students stepped off the battleship in the open space, all they could see were young and energetic faces. Some were confident, some were restless, some looked expectant, and some were frightened, but there were only a few of them. Hundreds of people acted out literally every emotion.
Yes, hundreds of people.
This is just one of the drop-off points.
There are a total of 10,000 freshmen in the current class of the Federal Military University. All major departments have been randomly assigned to ten completely different locations. Except for the fact that they are all on the outskirts of the forest, everything else is different.
And this assessment is not limited to freshmen, the juniors and seniors are also involved - they are the assessors and escorts this time.
Chen Xingluo glanced vaguely into one of the bushes and quickly looked away.
Cheng Xi seemed to be aware of it and looked over there.
Wow.
Wow!
She could already feel the senior sister who was watching the movie with great interest with her optical brain.
Hey wait, optical brain? Optical brain!
Cheng Xi thought of something and immediately looked up at the sky. As far as he could see, there were more than twenty live broadcast balls floating in the air, some low and some high. They were distributed quite scientifically and evenly in all directions, as if their positions had been calculated in advance. .
Damn it, so many live streaming devices?
It’s literally 720 degrees with no dead ends!
Do we have any privacy?
Or maybe from another perspective, their safety is actually quite guaranteed?
Cheng Xi comforted herself and followed the crowd into the lush forest in front of her.
Since this assessment is based on a personal points system, strictly speaking, everyone is his or her own opponent, but no one who can get into the military academy is stupid. They all know that the longer they live, the more points they earn.
And if you want to live longer, you have to stick together to stay warm - commonly known as forming a team.
The weak admire the strong, and the strong prefer like-minded friends, which makes one group of people very popular.
