Astral Flower-Chapter 66: Gossips

Nan Hua looked at her light brain and silently contacted Nan Xian Tang, who was staying in Building Block B. Even though she was not sure in which floor the scream came out, her cousin might know something since he was closer.

Nan Hua: Cousin, do you know what happened

Nan Xian Tang: Ah, did you also wake up? It’s in the girls’ dormitory, so I can’t get closer but the people at the front are saying blood and dead. I guessed someone got hurt by accident.

Got hurt by accident?

Reading the sentence that Nan Xian Tang sent over, Nan Hua tapped her chin lightly. Nevertheless, the security in Military Academy A has always been very good and their own light brain had security mechanism.

If something happened to them, the light brain will inform the nearby people to sound alarm in accordance to the situation. Everyone’s setting could be different because they could set it themselves, but everyone usually used the normal mode where it will give harsh alarm.

"Miss Ouyang, do you know what happened?" Yu Sui asked, she was not yet sleeping and currently sitting on her bed. It was not her business, but she was very curious.

"No." Ouyang Lin was taking a glass of water to help her sleep again.

She had never been a nosy person, so Ouyang Lin didn’t care what happened outside. As long as it had no effect on her, she would not care in the slightest bit.

"That..." Yu Sui wanted to ask more but finally shut up and focused on her light brain.

There were many students who still couldn’t sleep again so various chat groups were very noisy and active.

Nan Hua ignored these two, closed her light brain and went back to sleep.

She will figure it out tomorrow.

...

Unlike Nan Hua who could sleep again, the other students were restless and busy chatting with each other with their light brain. They were curious about what happened but also didn’t dare to disobey the instructor.

Thus, they could only chat with their light brain.

After sleeping for two hours, Nan Hua walked out of the dormitory to take breakfast and noticed that many other students were also walking out carefully. They didn’t look like they were sleeping again after that incident two hours ago.

Along the way, Nan Hua heard them whisper to each other.

"Someone really died?"

"No, she got hurt because of overuse in the cabin. It’s said that her mental strength collapsed after she overused it."

"Who would use the Virtual World in the middle of the night?"

"Perhaps her result was so bad that she had to do it?"

"No, the one who used the cabin is a young miss from a rather rich family. She shouldn’t be under so much pressure. For these young masters and misses, even if they didn’t manage to become a proper soldiers, they can go back home to inherit their family business."

"Maybe the one who’s more ambitious?"

"Perhaps?"

By the time Nan Hua reached the canteen, she had already know the identity of the girl who screamed last night along with the injured one. The one who screamed was the girl in the same dormitory as the girl who got hurt. She woke up because she wanted to go to the toilet but found that her dormitory friend laid on the ground, bleeding heavily.

She screamed in fear and shock.

"Nan Hua!" Nan Xian Tang looked at Nan Hua with relief. "Are you scared?"

"I don’t know what happened," Nan Hua replied. In other words, if she didn’t know what happened, how could she be scared?

Nan Xian Tang nodded his head. "I don’t know for sure but it seems that the instructor will tell us to be careful and not overuse the cabin. Even if we can use the cabin for free, but if we overuse it and ended up hurting ourselves, it’s not worth it."

"Mhm." Nan Hua nodded.

The Virtual World was indeed a good place for them to train. But it didn’t mean that they could practice all day long without any rest at all in between. Just as humans needed to eat and rest, their mental strength also wouldn’t be able to support their reckless overuse of their brain.

Unless their mental strength was very strong that they were able to stay awake for many days, it would be better for them not to stay overnight in the Virtual World.

Though, it was estimated that many people ignored this kind of restriction.

Just look in the light brain and you could see that many people were night owl and still busy doing many things in the Virtual World.

"I heard that you’re also working hard lately, but pay more attention to your rest time. I don’t want to see you collapse," Nan Xian Tang reminded.

"I’ll be careful."

For Nan Hua, the practice that she did every day in this military academy was nothing more than a breeze.

Without her adding more physical training to herself, it would not be challenging at all. Besides, her mental strength was more than enough for her to stay online for a long time without rest.

The only problem was that when they were inside that cabin, they were technically vulnerable.

That was why the outer layer of the cabin was heavily protected.

There was also forced logout system if their real body was attacked when they were inside the cabin.

"Good." Nan Xian Tang nodded. He looked at his friends. "I’m going to go with my friends. Let’s play again at night."

Nan Hua nodded and went to pick a chair and table to finish her breakfast.

While she was eating, she checked her light brain and noticed that there was a reminder not to use the cabin forcefully and so on. With this announcement, the incident slowly passed.

No one knew that this was only the beginning of their eventful semester in the military academy.
