Imperial Journey

Inferior.

At noon that day, he was stretching his muscles, folding his whole body into a "U" shape, concentrating on the control of his body, so he could not be distracted to do other things, when he happened to hear the sound of someone pushing the door open.

He didn't look back, but just listened carefully. Although he didn't hear footsteps often, he was used to hearing them since he was a child, and he could tell who it was.

"Mom, you're back."

"En." Wu Qiaozhi responded casually, her voice sounded a little tired, and she frowned seeing her only son's body in a strange shape, but it was a pity that Xie Xingjue didn't see it.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"The reexamination of St. Simon's College the day after tomorrow requires a physical fitness test." Xie Xingjue put down his legs and split them into a "one" shape.

"Oh," Wu Qiaozhi remembered, "Do you want to continue studying?"

Xie Xingjue became nervous, and turned to see her mother's expression at the moment, "Don't you want me to go, Mom?"

"How much is the tuition, Xingjue? Let me see how much money is left." She got up and went to the kitchen.

Xie Xingjue just sat there.

"Is there nothing to eat, Xingjue?" Wu Qiaozhi poked her head out from the kitchen, "How have you been these few days?"

"I forgot to buy it." He lied a little. In fact, he basically had nothing to eat after that day. He searched the whole bed up and down, and finally found a few coins, which should be when he was playing when he was a child. Left behind - life wasn't so hard back then.

Wu Qiaozhi came out from the kitchen, knelt down

Sitting in front of him, "There is no money, right?" She asked softly.

Xie Xingjue hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I'm sorry, Xingjue, I forgot." Wu Qiaozhi apologized. She lowered her head and dug out her savings from the storage bag of her clothes—perhaps it should be called reward, and put them all in front of Xie Xingjue, "Go buy some food." Yes, you've lost weight again."

"Mom, are you going out again?" Xie Xingjue asked while holding her hand.

Wu Qiaozhi nodded, "Otherwise, how can we support the two of us?"

Her face seemed to be that of a woman in her 20s. No one believed that she was 35. It was not easy for a young single mother to raise a child.

"One day, I won't let you suffer anymore." He held his mother's hand tightly.

Wu Qiaozhi shook her head, "It's nothing, I'll go to sleep, if I don't come out, you don't have to call me."

She got up and pushed open the door of the bedroom, turning back and setting the fingerprint password lock.Xie Xingjue understood her habits since she was a child, but she still couldn't get used to it.The relationship between him and his mother is very polite and alienated. He doesn't even know why this alienation occurred - when he wanted to get close to his mother when he was a child, his mother would always push him away. After being rejected for a long time, no matter how stupid The child also knows that he is not popular, let alone him who is quick-witted?Time passed and he stopped trying to get closer.

Fear of getting hurt.

He grabbed the money on the ground, stretched them one by one, counted them, and then put most of the money into the storage bag next to his body. He watched the color of the storage bag and the clothes become the same color before standing up. He got up, held a piece of paper money, and went out to buy things.

With some money today, he has confidence. He didn't go to the slum area again. It was too messy and unsafe.Going left, there is a large convenience store 5000 meters away. He wants to buy some solid food, vitamins, and synthetic vegetable agents. It would be even better if he could buy fresh meat, which he hasn't eaten for a long time.His body lacked so much that he felt cramps in his feet when he slept at night.The bones felt like they were beeping and growing.

How much did it grow?

He really didn't notice it recently, and his heart moved, thinking of going home as soon as possible after shopping, and measuring it.

After all, the clothes don't fit well.

Just as he was thinking, he looked down and was startled.

Pork 150 energy coins per 500 grams, rabbit meat 300 energy coins per 500 grams, so expensive!Dog meat costs 270 energy coins per 500 grams. These are all fed intensively. Xie Xingjue remembers seeing layers of pigs on the light screen, basically locked in cages about the same size as their bodies, growing painfully, from birth to Death only knows how to imitate the sun's rays, and never even shines the real sun, which is really pitiful.Thinking of this, Xie Xingjue began to scold himself again, why do you sympathize with pigs?Fruits and vegetables are sky-high prices, even an apple, how much zero is that?Xie Xingjue was dazzled by the number, 1 energy coins each!God, it's better to see and smell it.

It may be because of non-soil cultivation, the apple looks beautiful, but it doesn't smell like wax. Xie Xingjue felt it carefully, but still didn't feel the taste of apple, and couldn't help but sigh.He held 500 energy coins in his hand, bought 500g of pork, sealed it, and swiped the energy coins on the energy calculator in front of him. The 500 energy coins became 350 energy coins, and he bought some energy granules. 20 boxes only cost 60 energy coins, which is probably the cheapest food in Dihua.I bought a bottle of synthetic vitamins, and the 200 energy coins were gone. My God, spending money is like water.His heart bled silently.You must know that the general work now is to process some parts that cannot be produced by machinery, and it only costs 20 energy coins a day.In this way, he was almost wasting a month's expenses into one day.

Looking at the things in his hands, he felt a little happier, thinking that it was rare to have a meal with his mother.After cooking the pork, the kitchen cleaned up the things I bought, and brought out the cooked rice and dishes. I haven't used a plate to hold things for a long time, and it's a rare luxury.

The hot dishes came out, and he just waited for his mother to come out and eat together.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, the dishes were heated twice in the middle, but my mother didn't come out.He got up and wanted to knock on the door, but then thought of his mother's order, went back to the living room to put away the dishes, took only the medicine, and went to sleep.

After tossing and turning, he finally fell asleep, and finally had a dream. In the dream, a boy in black jumped off from a very high place. He ran in a hurry, but found that his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, and his legs were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead. Similarly, he was sweating profusely in a hurry, and then he was hit by that person unexpectedly. He felt that his ribs were about to be broken, and then the person who hit him got up and said a word:

"why is it you again?"

Xie Xingjue woke up, annoyed.

"Why is it me again? Do you think I'm willing to be?" I was treated as a sandbag once in the virtual space, once as a meat pad in a dream, and who knows if I will be treated as a lifebuoy next time.He touched his ribs, it was fine, he was still alive.

What does that man look like?Xie Xingjue tried hard to think about it, but he didn't remember it either. He only remembered that he was wearing black clothes, that he was taller than himself, that his flesh was very firm, and that his voice was very deep, which was rare among teenagers, and it sounded very comfortable.

...the last sentence must not have been said by myself.

He walked to the window with bare feet and opened it.

The air in the early morning is probably a rare time for this city to be fresh. Although the freshness is only relatively speaking, he rarely sees the city at such an early dawn.

There will be a re-examination tomorrow, "I will become a member of San Simon." He whispered, for his own dream.

When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw my mother

No matter how much Xie Xingjue thought about it, he never thought that the second round of tests would be—the first round, fighting in an anti-gravity environment, and the second round, a high-speed rotation test.

When he saw the question, he wanted to find Liu Ci, grabbed his clothes and shook him vigorously, yelling at him, "You lied to me!" Then he went to find the questioner, held his head and shook him, " What kind of test is this?"

He made sure again that he was taking a retest at Saint-Simon's College and not one of the Advanced Pilot and Astronaut Academy.

In the first round of random allocation, the people selected from the preliminary test will form a pair and fight together in the anti-gravity environment in the second round. The final result is based on the damage value displayed by the machine. Five thousand teams, a total of 1 people entered the final exam.

The screening rate is getting higher and higher. Xie Xingjue calculated in his mind that nearly 1000 million people signed up in the first round, and nearly one million people will qualify in the final round. This time, only 1 people will be selected. It is truly one in a hundred. How many people will be online this year depends on the students this year. Quality, Saint-Simon's is never a place to settle.Exams will only get tougher.But isn't this second round a blow to those who have more intelligence?

He thought too much, and hit the wall with a "bang" without even seeing the direction clearly. The others burst into laughter when they saw it. I found my room number on the light screen of my phone, and I was about to put on all the equipment.As soon as I took off my clothes, I heard someone coming in.

"Who?" He asked warily.

"……people."

Xie Xingjue remembered the voice and his owner. When he turned his head, the other party greeted him, "Hi, happy cooperation."

Xie Xingjue nodded, "It's a pleasant cooperation." He lowered his head and took care of some details. He was not familiar with these things, and just put them on in the usual way of wearing clothes. He was afraid that something might be wrong, so he was checking. Put it on familiarly and set the coefficient to suit you, seeing that Xie Xingjue has not touched the setting nameplate on his wrist.He directly reached out to help him take care of it.

Xie Xingjue blushed, feeling that she was going to cry stupidly.

"Thank you." Xie Xingjue whispered when he finally closed the helmet's visor.
