Chapter 86: Mock game selection

Tang Bai takes Xie Ruhang's arm, and introduces him to tomorrow's chief exam.

Tomorrow's assessment format will be a mock game selection, with game scores accounting for twenty percent of the chief assessment.

The selection was made in the form of a live broadcast and a holographic game, the theme of which was interplanetary voyages, which tested not only professional skills but also organisational and leadership skills.

"It says in the book that you're teamed up with Gu Tunan and three others." After Tang Bai said Gu Tunan, he was a bit curious, "Does Gu Tunan like you or not?"

Xie Ruhang thought for a moment and said deeply, "I think he likes me."

"He told me I was his only rival and tried to sniff my pheromones, and the well wishes and lemon emojis he posted under our circle of friends earlier were not genuine well wishes at first glance."

Tang Bai put her arms around Xie Ruhang and said seriously, "You can't team up with him this time, what if your relationship heats up?"

On the other side of the room, Gu Tunan sneezed as he continued to browse through the rules of tomorrow's simulation game, and when he saw the rule that "The game is in team mode, with a fixed team of five players. He clicked on the chat screen with Tang Bai with a slight hope that he would not die.

No, if you ask Tang Bai directly if you can team up with him, the chances are that Tang Bai will turn him down.

Gu Tunan, who was beginning to feel self-conscious, thought for a moment and clicked on Xie Ruhang's account.

Tang Bai will definitely team up with Xie Ruhang, and as long as he's teammates with Xie Ruhang, won't he be able to team up with Tang Bai?

Gu Tunan's passionate self-promotion of Xie Ruhang was focused on the fact that the two of them had a good understanding of the battle and that together, their team would definitely take first place.

This self-promotion message popped up in front of Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang.

Xie Ruhang calmly refuses, "You are a good alpha, but I already have Tang Bai and other teammates."

Tang Bai gives a thumbs up to Xie Ruhang, who points to his face and gives Tang Bai a serious wink.

"Why do you always want to be kissed?" Tang Bai, with a "I really can't help you" look on her face, wrapped her arms around Xie Ruhang's neck and gave her a kiss.

The two hearts are sweet, they continue to stick together like glue, "The background of the game is energy depletion, we players are sailing in the universe, the goal is to discover the energy star, the game will encounter insects on the way, destroy the insects can add points, learn skills from npc or self-learning can also add points, the first player squad to find the energy star all add 10 points. "

Xie Ruhang nodded, "That sounds like it would be easy."

"It just sounds like oh, the two npc's in this game are going to be backfiring." Tang Bai to Xie Ruhang Spoiler.

The captain and second-in-command on the ship are npc's and the players' goal is to find the energy star, which appears to overlap with the npc's goal, but mid to late in the game the ship still hasn't found the energy star and the ship's reserve energy crystals are constantly being depleted to a red line when the npc's will want to return.

Because the reserve energy at this time could still support the ship back to the Federation, and if they didn't return and couldn't find an energy star, they would never get back.

At this point there is a conflict between the objectives of the players and the NPCs, and the worst that can happen is that the NPCs kill all the players on the ship to force it to return.

In the book Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan are on a team, both of them **nppc continue to sail and keep learning airship piloting skills from the npc's.

The day before they discovered the Energy Star, the two NPCs committed suicide due to navigational depression.

"The book mentioned an easy pass mode, which is to improve the relationship with the npc, keep the npc in a good mood, the better the relationship between the npc and us, the later they will rebel, or even not rebel, and get high points when they brush up their goodwill to a high level." Tang Bai said to Xie Ruhang, "So when the time comes, we try hard to brush up the goodwill of npc's!"

"I'll do whatever you say." Xie Ruhang said and looked at Tang Bai for a moment, "You're so likeable, the npc's initial favorability rating must be very high once they see you."

"Here we go again, here we go again, your rainbow farts again!" Tang Bai poked Xie Ruhang, "I think you can definitely increase your goodwill by bombarding npc's with your rainbow farts."

Tang Bai said and rubbed Xie Ruhang's face, "Come on, why is your little mouth like honey?"

"For kissing you." Xie Ruhang said with a smile in his phoenix eyes.

Honey herself grunted and leaned against Xie Ruhang's shoulder, "Okay, love talk is over, let's get down to business, do you have anyone in mind for this free team?"

"Take Qiu Yan and Lu Lv, they can operate at a decent level. And if they have more points, their final marks will look better." Xie Ruhang asks, "What about you?"

Tang Bai looked at his list and there were a lot of people wanting to team up with him, " Rong Yao Well, he was third in the mech building competition and I teamed up with him a lot in my physical fitness class, he's not weak in mech building and he's quite nice."

After deciding on a team, Tang Bai was a bit worried about Xie Ruhang's situation tomorrow, "You're still susceptible tomorrow, can you get relief from meeting me only in game?"

"Yes." Xie Ruhang hugged Tang Bai and closed his eyes and thought, "It was so good to meet this person, so good that he felt that life was suddenly fun and hopeful, so good that he wanted to say the words of love to Tang Bai for the rest of his life and grow white with Tang Bai.

Day 2.

As Tang Bai lay in his pod, he heard the system explain the background of the game: "In the year 389 of the astrological calendar, humanity has entered the early days of the Dyson Sphere civilisation.

The Dyson Sphere intercepts most of the radiation from the stars to feed the progress of human civilisation, and as human dependence on and misuse of the Dyson Sphere brings the galactic energy source close to exhaustion, the galactic literature that relies on the Dyson Sphere is in dire straits and they urgently need a new energy supply.

Your ship, Discovery, is on a mission to find an energy star for the Federation, with Captain Old Kang, second-in-command Lu En and your crew of five.

In the game, players will receive +1 point for each insectoid they destroy, +1 point for each new skill they learn, +10 points for all members of the first team to discover the energy star, and other ways to earn points will need to be explored by the players themselves. The game ends when the players discover the energy star, so have fun!

As the system's explanatory tone ended and Tang Bai felt himself enter the game, he opened his eyes to see the silvery white roof of the hibernation pod with his game panel floating above it.

[Player Name]: Tang Bai

【Occupation】：Mechanism builder and airship maintainer

[Basic Attribute Points]: Intelligence 9, Agility 6, Strength 6, Stamina 6, Charisma 9, Spirit 9

【Points】：0

As Tang Bai lay in his hibernation chamber looking at his attributes panel, he heard a man's lazy voice from outside: "Now that you're all awake, get up and get to work."

Tang Bai tapped the open button of the hibernation chamber and the hatch opened automatically. He sat up and saw an NPC who was swallowing a cloud of fog.

The NPC is a somewhat dishevelled alpha, with a scruffy beard and a silver and white airship uniform casually pulled over his body, sitting alone on the floor with his eyes vacant and smoking.

Floating on his body is an NPC panel that only the player can see, with the only information displayed on it being [Deputy: Lu En].

A system beep sounded in Tang Bai's mind, "You can interact with NPCs, but you cannot divulge real-world information to them, and points will be cleared for violators."

Lu En looked listlessly at the five players and when he saw Tang Bai, his half-closed eyes opened for a moment and Lu En said in surprise, "omega?"

It has been two years since Lu En has seen an omega on this ship.

"Ding - npc Lu En has +1 good feeling towards you," the system beep sounded in Tang Bai's mind.

Tang Bai froze for a moment, he didn't think that brushing up on npc favorability could actually be so easy, was it because the game showed his charisma value to be 9?

"Alright rookies, I know you've just woken up from your hibernation pods and are still awake, next you go do some daily tasks to get your muscles moving, the mechs go to the armory to pick up space combat mechs and become skilled in your future combat gear, the mech builders and ship repairers go do routine maintenance on your weapons and ships." Lu En set up his tasks and continued to sit on the lounge floor smoking, it looked like he wasn't going to be offering much help to the players.

"Wow! This is a cool spaceship!" Qiu Yan looked around and wondered.

Xie Ruhang walked towards Tang Bai, "I'm a mech."

"I'm a mech builder and ship maintainer." Tang Bai looked at the same crew uniform she and Xie Ruhang were wearing and laughed, "Do we count this as a couple's outfit? Let's go take a photo together later!"

Xie Ruhang nodded, and halfway through he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Tang Bai wondered.

Xie Ruhang opened the door to the lounge and walked out with Tang Bai before saying to Tang Bai in confusion, "The system tells me that Lu En is -1 to my goodwill."

Tang Bai: "Pfft."

Tang Bai: "When we first met Lu En had +1 good feeling towards me."

Xie Ruhang said quietly, "If I kiss you in front of an NPC, will Lu En's favorability rating go straight to -10?"

Tang Bai smiled unkindly as he stood on tiptoe and gave Xie Ruhang a quick chirp while no one was looking.

Xie Ruhang lifted his lips and was in a good mood as he and Tang Bai stood in front of the window, where a vast sea of stars looked like a black velvet curtain dusted with diamonds.

Qiu Yan's group came out of the lounge looking at each other, blinded by Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang's couple selfie.

The pop-ups following their group were equally blindsided by.

[Isn't this the chief exam? How can someone be in love in the open! Reported!

[Look at Qiu Yan and their expressions, hahahaha a billion point blast to the friendlies]

[When will the Old Tang teacher live-stream the couple's photo technique?

Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang finish taking selfies as they walk to the ship's arsenal. Tang Bai and Tong Yao look around the dazzling arsenal of weapons, the game is set in a higher civilization than the real one and many of the weapons here are realistic proposed weapons about future concepts.

Xie Ruhang, Lu Lv and Qiu Yan have found their space combat mechs.

While the three mechs were still familiarizing themselves with their new equipment, an ear-splitting alarm suddenly sounded inside the ship, "Alarm! Small insect swarm in sight! Mechs out, please!"
