Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

[Sir, why did you participate in such a boring competition? ]

Xiaoyi curled up on the cloud-like fluffy cashmere carpet in the middle of Quan Jiuxi's bedroom, his tailbone rubbing gently against the soft fur.

Its translucent body was shimmering with tiny particles of light in the afternoon sunlight that slanted in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, like crushed stardust.

A pale blue energy rift opened up beside it in the system space, with hundreds of glimmering data modules floating inside - those were the "new skin" options it had been selecting all night long.

Its slender fingertips moved back and forth in the data stream, and the projected virtual eyelashes flickered with a hint of nonchalant curiosity.

Quan Jiuxi was reclining on a floating lounge chair. The silver-gray metal frame of the chair had a cold luster, which contrasted sharply with the dark purple silk nightgown she was wearing.

The neckline of the nightgown was loosely open, revealing the delicate collarbone, and the lace on the edge shone like pearls in the light.

She held a diamond-cut crystal glass, and the condensed water droplets on the wall of the glass slowly slid down the edges, leaving a small stain on her fair wrist.

The mint leaves in the iced juice spun slightly with the slight shake of her wrist, exuding a refreshing coolness.

When she heard Xiaoyi's question, she raised her eyes, and the small light brown mole at the end of her eye was faintly visible in the light and shadow. Her eyes casually swept over Xiaoyi's busy figure with a bit of laziness.

"Because of the Quan family."

Her voice was like silk soaked in ice water, clear and with a touch of nonchalant texture.

His eyes swept across the star map projection floating on the opposite wall, and paused for half a second at the position of the Quan family emblem - the emblem composed of gears and star rays was now glowing a faint red light, representing that the family's power was at its lowest point in nearly a hundred years.

This competition is nominally a mecha competition among young interstellar talents, but in reality it is a wrestling arena where several major families secretly compete with each other.

Quan Jiuxi's eyes swept across the familiar surnames on the list of contestants, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the cold wall of the crystal glass.

No matter in which era, the brilliance of the younger generation is directly related to the rise and fall of the family.

Although the Quan family's authority in the field of mecha manufacturing is still unmatched, their voice in the Interstellar Alliance has been gradually weakening in recent years, and those interstellar forces that are eyeing them have already been circling around like vultures.

She applied a little force with her fingertips, and the water droplets on the wall of the cup suddenly slid down and were absorbed the moment they fell onto the carpet.

What she wanted was never the championship, but to show the Quan family's fangs in front of everyone.

As for Tang Qing - Quan Jiuxi raised a faint sneer at the corner of his lips, and that smile was fleeting in her eyes, so fast that it made people think it was an illusion.

That woman who always seemed harmless was like chewing gum stuck to the sole of a shoe, sticky and an eyesore.

This time it was just right, and we solved it all at once.

【Oh, so that's how it is.】

Xiaoyi's virtual fingertips paused in the data stream, and an expression of sudden realization appeared on his translucent cheek.

[Then please don't forget our strategy mission.]

As it spoke, it secretly glanced at Quan Jiuxi, and its virtual ears moved slightly, as if observing her reaction.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Quan Jiuxi swallowed a mouthful of juice, and the cold liquid slid down his throat.

Pei Jin's face suddenly appeared in her mind - the corners of his lips tightly pursed when he was wearing a silver-gray military uniform, his eyes as sharp as a hawk when he was commanding the battle, and the last time in the mecha maintenance room, when he looked down at her, the warm gaze that fell on the top of her head.

Her fingertips paused slightly, and the crystal glass tapped against her teeth, making a crisp sound.

[Hey, sir, I've chosen my skin! ]

Xiaoyi seemed not to hear the ripples in her tone. He suddenly cheered and jumped up from the ground in an instant.

It was holding a bunch of data modules that were flickering in its arms, and it jumped and ran to Quan Jiuxi as if it was holding some treasure.

The translucent body swayed slightly due to excitement, creating circles of ripple-like halos.

Quan Jiuxi looked up and raised his eyebrows when his eyes fell on the data modules.

It was an extremely detailed set of human morphological modeling data, from the bone structure to the skin texture, even the distribution of capillaries was clearly visible.

"You want to be a human?"

There was a hint of subtle surprise in her voice, and her gaze paused on Xiaoyi for two seconds - this system elf who had followed her through more than a dozen worlds had always liked to appear in all kinds of bizarre virtual forms.

Xiaoyi's virtual finger scratched his head sheepishly, swaying slightly as he moved.

[Sir, that's not the case.]

It rubbed its toes on the carpet, as if it was a little nervous.

[This world is so technologically advanced. Yesterday, while browsing Star Brain, I discovered that many ancient Earth civilizations have vanished. Few people even know how to cook!]

At this point, its eyes lit up instantly, and stars seemed to twinkle in its virtual pupils.

I want to do a livestream on Star Brain, teaching everyone how to cook ancient Earth dishes! But if I appear as a robot, I'm afraid it might cause panic, so...

It secretly glanced up at Quan Jiuxi, its voice becoming increasingly quiet. "As long as I look like a human in the projection, that's all that matters!"

As it spoke, it danced with its hands, its translucent arms drawing excited arcs in the air, and its virtual cheeks flushed lightly with excitement.

This seemingly carefree system has actually been longing to be seen by more people.

In the past worlds, it had always been invisible, and no one except her could sense its presence. This time, it finally had the opportunity, and the anticipation in its eyes almost overflowed.

Quan Jiuxi looked at its sparkling eyes and was silent for two seconds.

The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto her face, giving her chiseled profile a soft golden edge.

She nodded slightly, her long, thick eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyelids. "Okay."

Before she finished speaking, she had already stretched out her hands.

A faint golden light lingered around the fingertips, like flowing liquid gold.

The light slowly flowed out from her fingertips, interweaving into a dense light net in the air, gently enveloping Xiaoyi's body.

At the moment the golden light flashed, Xiaoyi's appearance changed at a speed visible to the naked eye - the translucent body gradually became solid, the virtual data outline was covered by delicate skin, the golden hair was dyed with a real luster, and even the slightly curled arc of the hair ends could be seen.

But in the blink of an eye, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old was standing there.

He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. His skin was as white as the finest mutton-fat jade, and his lips were as red as freshly picked cherries.

Her brilliant golden hair draped softly over her forehead, making her deep blue eyes look as if they contained the entire starry sky.

Thank you, sir!

Xiaoyi looked down at his hands that had suddenly become real, pinched them lightly with his fingertips, and felt the hardness of the bones and the elasticity of the muscles under his skin. He jumped up in excitement.

The golden hair drew lively arcs in the air, and the boy's crisp laughter echoed in the room like wind chimes.

However, this joy did not last for two seconds. The smile on his face suddenly froze, and his deep blue eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

He suddenly grabbed Quan Jiuxi's wrist, his palms sweating slightly due to nervousness, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable urgency:

[My Lord, this is bad! The little villain is going to the battlefield again! And…and because of the plot change, the event has been moved forward! The plot was originally going to use Tang Qing's potion, but now because of this change, the time has been moved forward!]

The laziness on Quan Jiuxi's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a frosty indifference.

The voice was as cold as ice:

"Tang Qing is just a student. Why can her potions be used on the battlefield?"

[It's the Tang family! The Tang family must be behind this!] Xiaoyi was so anxious that he spun around in circles, his golden hair a little messy because of his movements.

The drug Tang Qing is researching isn't stable enough, and its side effects haven't been completely eliminated. The Tang family knows this all too well! But their target is Pei Jin. As long as they can get rid of him, they don't care what means they use!

Quan Jiuxi's heart sank suddenly, and he instantly figured out the connection.

Tang Qing's brother Tang Yao has always been a sworn enemy of Pei Jin in the interstellar army. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years and have accumulated deep resentment.

This time, it is obvious that the Tang family wants to use the battlefield to get rid of Pei Jin, the thorn in their side.
