Chapter 1345: Chapter 1254: Interstellar Life 25

When Pei Shuangshuang and Chi Ruiqiu parted ways, Chi Ruiqiu insisted on exchanging contact information, but after Pei Shuangshuang returned to Capital Star, she didn’t plan on contacting Chi Ruiqiu.

Every time she encountered Chi Ruiqiu, her mind would be filled with thoughts of being locked up, confined, and imprisoned in a dark room. These perverted ideas that churned in her heart always left Pei Shuangshuang feeling like her values were shattered, and she felt deeply ashamed.

However, just because Pei Shuangshuang didn’t want to get in touch doesn’t mean Chi Ruiqiu felt the same way. Since they exchanged contact information, which essentially involved marking each other’s personal terminals.

The personal terminal serves as a combination of a bank card, residence book, communication device, Skynet link, and various other miscellaneous functions. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Once you’ve marked someone’s personal terminal, it’s not difficult to find them even if they go to the ends of the earth.

With Pei Shuangshuang’s contact information in hand, as soon as Pei Shuangshuang returned to Capital Star, Chi Ruiqiu called her via a holographic call. At that time, Pei Shuangshuang was studying a classic case study handed over by her mentor, Gu Yue.

Because this case was so classic, Pei Shuangshuang hadn’t slept for two consecutive days, and her hair was messy, and her room was in disarray, filled with lunchboxes and other stuff she had dropped while eating over the past two days.

When the call came through, Pei Shuangshuang’s mind was still on the case study in her hands, so she directly pressed the button to answer it. Suddenly, Chi Ruiqiu’s holographic image appeared before Pei Shuangshuang.

A holographic image allows the caller to appear as a real-life figure in front of the person answering, except the body is virtual, lacking smell, taste, and touch, but otherwise identical to a real person in terms of visuals.

It means that after Chi Ruiqiu appeared before Pei Shuangshuang, he could see Pei Shuangshuang’s room clearly. In fact, Pei Shuangshuang’s room wasn’t too messy.

However, Pei Shuangshuang was always tidy, making it seem out of character for her to leave her room unorganized. Chi Ruiqiu, seeing Pei Shuangshuang’s room so messy, showed an expression of surprise on his face.

Pei Shuangshuang didn’t expect that the call was from Chi Ruiqiu. However, she didn’t care much about Chi Ruiqiu’s surprise. Ideally, Chi Ruiqiu would find her sloppy and feel it’s too embarrassing to be friends with her, gradually ceasing contact with her.

So Pei Shuangshuang just continued looking at the information in her hands, speaking in a cold and indifferent tone: "Why are you calling? Is there something you need?"

Chi Ruiqiu’s surprised expression had already faded, but he was quite dissatisfied with Pei Shuangshuang’s indifference: "Can’t I call you if there’s nothing going on? We’re friends.

I must say, your room is really messy. Is it true that everyone who studies Genetic Repair is like this when they’re busy? One of my roommates also specializes in Genetic Repair.

That guy is extremely clean and demands his room to be spotless. But when he gets busy, his room turns into a pig’s pen. Is this some sort of characteristic for those who study Genetic Repair?"

Pei Shuangshuang flipped through the information in her hands without raising her head: "Probably, why did you contact me? I’m busy right now; let’s chat when I’m free."

"I actually do have something to discuss: the school’s joint practical exercise."

"Joint practical exercise?" Pei Shuangshuang finally moved her gaze from the information onto Chi Ruiqiu, puzzled, as she looked at him with a furrowed brow.

Originally standing, Chi Ruiqiu suddenly made a sitting gesture, suggesting he’d just sat down in his own room, except there wasn’t a chair here for Pei Shuangshuang, making Chi Ruiqiu appear as if he was sitting in mid-air.

"This is a big thing. I thought you already knew, but I didn’t expect you to be so lost in your own world that you aren’t aware of it.

This joint practical exercise is a special initiative where the Federation has selected the three hundred best top schools across the Federation to participate, aiming to evaluate the learning achievements of us students.

I heard that this practical exercise intends to break the barriers between schools, forming teams throughout the process, and not by students within the same school, but by randomly combining students from different schools.

At that time, we’ll have teammates who are complete strangers, working together to complete various checkpoint assessments in the practical exercise. I’m asking for your thoughts on this practical exercise."

Pei Shuangshuang shrugged and continued to review the information: "What thoughts could I have? Just participate." At this point, Pei Shuangshuang paused in her flipping of data on the virtual screen.

No, as soon as this practical exercise starts, her plan to go to the hospital for early internship falls through. It’s no wonder her mentor Gu Yue hasn’t mentioned it all this time.

Seeing Pei Shuangshuang so indifferent, Chi Ruiqiu couldn’t help but say: "Aren’t you worried about the teammates you’ll encounter afterward? What if they’re over the top or drags you down? It could affect our assessment scores."

Pei Shuangshuang was completely unconcerned: "It doesn’t matter; I’m not afraid of being dragged down." Pei Shuangshuang believed she was capable enough and even a few who drag her down couldn’t lower her score.

However, Chi Ruiqiu clearly misunderstood: "That’s right; your talent in Genetic Repair is so amazing. You’re certainly going to become a Genetic Repairer in the future.

Most of these practical exercises are for students who want to go to the battlefield or become explorers. They really don’t have much to do with you, so you shouldn’t worry too much."

Seeing there wasn’t much happening with Pei Shuangshuang, as she was busy looking at information, the bored Chi Ruiqiu finally ended the call, leaving Pei Shuangshuang in peace.

The day after Chi Ruiqiu called Pei Shuangshuang, her three mentors, Gu Yue, Wei An, and Sun Jie, collectively sought out Pei Shuangshuang.

The central theme among all three mentors was that the practical exercise was a must, the results should be excellent, and she should make them proud, letting everyone know that students from the Federal First Military Academy are the best.

The practical exercise would commence three days later, and during these three days, the school’s students frantically crammed, even though students from the First Military Academy are never slack in their studies, so they don’t need to be this nervous.

However, this practical exercise will apparently be entirely broadcasted live on Skynet, and the Federation encourages parents to bring their children to watch, aiming to motivate those children to study hard.

Once the practical exercise begins, who knows how many people across the Federation will tune in to watch on Skynet. Under such pressure, the students naturally become anxious.

Conversely, Pei Shuangshuang remained calm and composed, still engrossed in reviewing case study information daily, especially focusing on several Special-level Genetic Repair Masters’ treatment plans and processes, captivating Pei Shuangshuang.

Back when Pei Shuangshuang saved Chi Rui Ming, a female Genetic Repairer had commented that Pei Shuangshuang’s level was equivalent to a Second-level Genetic Repairer.

Actually, what the female Genetic Repairer said wasn’t entirely accurate. The Genetic Repair course is immensely vast with knowledge so abundant that even the genius students can’t fully grasp it without ample time to accumulate experience.
