In the afternoon, Lin Lin was at home.
"Lin Lin, several of your classmates have sent you invitation messages. Are you really not going to the party?" Zhinao asked Lin Lin after checking his mailbox.
"I won't go. If I have that time, I might as well practice more in the simulation cabin. Besides, the party will most likely be full of crying people."
Lin Lin leaned on the recliner and said casually: "I feel upset when I see them crying. It's not about separation between life and death. Why are they so sad?"
"But, Lin Lin, didn't you say today that you might never see him again for the rest of his life?" Zhi Nao projected Lin Lin's speech that had no passion at all in the morning.
Lin Lin waved his hand helplessly, scattered the projection, and said: "Zhiyan, you can draw inferences now, right? Why didn't I see that you were so smart before?"
Zhiyan replied without emotion: "I am an artificial intelligence, and there are commands written in the program to continuously learn and strengthen myself."
"Forget it, let me go to the party to save you from being like an old lady."
Standing up, Lin Lin found a piece of formal clothes from the closet, put it on unfamiliarly, and kept saying: "That's why I don't like these parties and the like. I have to wear formal clothes, troublesome." Gotta die."
"Lin Lin, I detected that your clothes are a bit big and don't fit well."
Zhiyan's electronically synthesized voice sounded again: "If you need it, I can rent a suitable set of clothes for you."
Lin Lin ignored Zhiyan's suggestion and left the room. Zhiyan also attached the program to the watch and left with Lin Lin.
When I walked outside, it was already evening outside.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Lin suddenly felt relieved.
That's right, since the Earth joined the Galactic Alliance, the Alliance has helped the Earth improve its ecological environment and ensured rapid development of science and technology without affecting the ecology. It is precisely because of this that the indigenous people of the Earth can see the starry sky. It does not belong to any documentary. , nor any false, real starry sky.
"Lin Lin, do you have any plans after graduation? If you ask me, just go to work in my son's company. He told me last time that if you go, he will give you 30,000 Galaxy coins a month, and it will be double Hugh." An old man walked out of the villa nearby and smiled at Lin Lin.
"No need, Grandpa Liu, I have received an invitation from the military region."
Lin Lin smiled and rejected Grandpa Liu's kindness, and then said: "If I can't find a job when I return from the army, I might still have to go to Uncle Liu's place. You will have to intercede for me then."
"Haha, what's wrong with that? I'm afraid I won't live until that time." Grandpa Liu said with a smile.
"That's certainly possible. I think Grandpa Liu, you can live to be two hundred years old."
With the development of science and technology and the help of the Galactic Alliance, humans on earth have slowly broken through the life span limit. However, because it is not perfect yet, only a small number of wealthy people can enjoy life extension technology.
The Grandpa Liu in front of me is just that kind of person. His son has several inter-galactic companies under his name, and his business covers almost one tenth of the galaxy.
As for how Lin Lin met Grandpa Liu's family, it was a great coincidence. Lin Lin's parents happened to rescue Grandpa Liu from interstellar pirates during a hostage rescue mission, and they happened to be in the house assigned to them by the alliance. It's right next door to Grandpa Liu's house, and we got to know each other after going back and forth.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice, haha."
After Grandpa Liu finished laughing, he said with concern: "Lin Lin, if you go to serve as a soldier, you have to pay attention to safety. You are the only one who is willing to communicate with a bad old man like me. I regard you as my own grandson. , I don’t want you to never come back.”
Hearing these caring words, Lin Lin felt warm in his heart, and immediately smiled and said: "Grandpa Liu, don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I still have to be a high-ranking official of the alliance."
"Haha. Then I'll wait until you become a high-ranking official. Don't forget to treat me to the best wine in the league then." Grandpa Liu laughed and seemed to have seen Lin Lin standing in military uniform holding the best wine. In front of myself.
"That is required."
Lin Lin took a look at the time and found that it was almost the time for the party to start. He quickly said: "Grandpa Liu, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
"Go on, kid, I have to get checked out too."
"By the way, kid, come to me before you leave. I have something for you..."
…
At the dinner, Lin Lin was alone, holding a wine glass and leaning against the guardrail of the balcony.
Looking at the classmates talking to each other in the hall, Lin Lin also felt a little sad. After today, they may not see each other again.
"Lin Lin, I noticed that you seem to be a little sad. Do you need to call a doctor for you?" Zhiyan's voice rang out at an inappropriate time, disrupting the sadness that Lin Lin had finally brewed up.
Lin Lin was a little helpless. Although Intelligent Eye was artificial intelligence, it was still a program and could never understand human emotions.
"President Lin, what are you doing out here alone? Why don't you go in and talk to your classmates? After all, we have been classmates for several years."
Turning around, An Xue also stood by the guardrail with a wine glass in hand, looking at Lin Lin with a smile on her face.
Without answering An Xue's question, Lin Lin looked at An Xue carefully and said, "An Xue, I never noticed before that you are so beautiful?"
"Oh? Really? Can you tell me more specifically?" An Xue was a little surprised. Is Lin Lin enlightened?
"Yes, Chen Yu Luo Yan, Shun Yue Shao Hua, they all called you ugly. You are just like the mythical Nine Heavens Xuannv, sacred and beautiful."
Lin Lin said solemnly: "Even the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl may not be as beautiful as you."
Seeing that Lin Lin said it seriously, An Xue was secretly happy that she felt like this in Lin Lin's heart. An Xue quickly asked: "Is there more?"
"It's just a pity." Lin Lin sighed and said regretfully.
"Which point? Tell me." An Xue was a little confused. Lin Lindu said that he was so perfect, why is it a pity?
Lin Lin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It's a pity that you can speak. If you can't speak, you would really be a goddess-like figure."
After being stunned for a few seconds, An Xue finally reacted and said loudly: "Lin Lin! Do you mean that I should be mute?"
"Yes, that's a pity. Alas." Lin Lin sighed again, and some people thought he had encountered something troublesome.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you."
An Xue bared her teeth and pounced on Lin Lin. Fortunately, Lin Lin reacted quickly and left the balcony first and entered the hall. Otherwise, An Xue would have caught and beaten him. After all, he is a good man according to the standards of the new era. The idea of a good man not fighting with a woman distanced him from the angry An Xue.
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard a voice.
"Lin Lin, are you flirting again?"
Lin Lin knew who he was without looking back. Jiang Chen, who had grown up with him since childhood, was pronounced very similar to the mythical ancestor of zombies, Jiang Chen, so Lin Lin preferred to call him Jiang Chen, although Jiang Chen protested several times. , but Lin Lin’s request was that Jiang Chen beat him in a simulated battle. Jiang Chen’s own level was only average or lower in the class. What’s more, Lin Lin had never lost in this game. Lin Lin had three hundred games. Complete victory was not something that could be boasted, so Jiang Chen had no choice but to accept his fate.
"General, why are you making noise too? It's not like you don't know that An Xue and I have nothing to do with each other." Lin Lin smiled bitterly, then turned around and slapped Jiang Chen on the shoulder.
"Hey, it hurts. Can you please be gentle? There are so many classmates here, please save some face for me." Jiang Chen grinned, as if Lin Lin's slap had caused internal injuries to him.
Lin Lin withdrew his hand, rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen, and said, "Stop pretending, I don't use much force."
Seeing Lin Lin expose him, Jiang Chen stopped pretending to be hurt and said with a smile: "Hey, Lin Lin, tell me the truth, do you really have no feelings for An Xue?"
After looking around, he whispered to Lin Lin: "I heard from An Xue's best friends that An Xue often puts you in her mouth."
Glancing sideways at Jiang Chen, Lin Lin said, "You're talking about wanting to beat me to death, right?"
"Hehe, isn't that what I say about you all the time? It's the same, it's all the same."
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I don't believe you don't have any affection for her."
"Unless you……"
At this point, Jiang Chen took two steps back unnaturally, covered a certain part with his hands and said, "You don't like women, do you?"
"Fuck you, my sexual orientation is normal, I just don't have this idea at the moment." Lin Lin scolded with a smile.
Indeed, it would be a lie to say that he did not have a good impression of An Xue. As the only person in the academy who could push himself into a desperate situation in a simulated battle, Lin Lin still admired An Xue, otherwise he would not have an affair with An Xue. Xue quarrels, but now, Lin Lin only wants to join the army and step into the sea of stars, and find a way to find out the mission his parents performed. Even if they are dead, he must bring them back. And along the way, it is destined to be He was dripping with blood, and he might die on the road at any time, so he couldn't make any promises at will.
When Jiang Chen heard what Lin Lin said, he felt relieved. He stepped forward and grabbed Lin Lin's shoulders and said, "Lin Lin, I know you only care about the safety of your uncle and aunt right now, but that matter cannot be accomplished overnight. Before, there was so much time at your disposal, if you only thought about that one thing, what's the difference between you and a robot?"
"Think about it for yourself, don't push yourself too hard." After saying that, Jiang Chen patted Lin Lin's shoulder and left Lin Lin's side.
Lin Lin stood there, was he really pushing himself too hard?
"Zhiyan, am I really who Jiang Chen said?" Lin Lin asked Zhiyan.
"Lin Lin, what you said is beyond my understanding. I searched the data and came to a conclusion. You seem to be doubting everything you have done before." Zhiyan came to a conclusion through data analysis.
"Just think for yourself? Do you think I did the right thing?" Lin Lin looked at the projection of the wise eye.
"I think you did the right thing, Lin Lin. As the old saying goes, filial piety comes first."
Zhiyan used a saying passed down by the ancients and said: "But you really lack social activities of your own. Although you are the monitor of your class, most things are done by classmate An Xue. You just keep doing it." Train yourself.”
Lin Lin thought for a while, and it seemed that apart from Jiang Chen, he really didn't have anyone he could call a friend. Maybe An Xue could be considered one, but apart from that, there seemed to be no one. Lin Lin smiled: "Then let me try changing it?"
