Chapter 344 The First Prince
"I want to get a good understanding of the starship first, so I won't go!" Su Wenying replied with a smile. His eyes revealed a hint of calmness and composure. He always had the habit of gaining a comprehensive understanding of the surrounding environment before doing anything.
"I want to take a good look around the starship first, too. Let's go together," Su Siyi said with a smile. Her eyes revealed a hint of excitement and curiosity. She was filled with a desire to explore this huge starship, wanting to see every corner of it and understand its various facilities and functions.
"Okay." Su Wenying nodded, and the three of them began their stroll on the starship.
The entire starship was enormous, like a small city floating in space. It was packed with amenities, designed entirely to suit the lifestyles of interstellar people. Living, entertainment, and work facilities were all readily available, giving one a sense of the advanced and convenient nature of the interstellar world.
But for them, this interstellar world lacked any semblance of life. While it was full of technology, it lacked the ordinary touch of everyday life. Food options here were limited to nutrient solution, and the main activity for the interstellar people seemed to be fighting Zerg. Compared to the vibrant and colorful world of their homeland, this lifestyle seemed rather monotonous and boring.
The starship travels at high speed in the vast universe. Its huge body is like a mobile steel fortress, exuding amazing technological charm.
Su Siyi, Nangong Jingming, and Su Wenying wandered the starship, their gazes filled with futuristic devices and structures. The flashing lights, complex circuits, and sophisticated instruments all demonstrated the advanced state of interstellar technology.
The main control room, the core hub of the starship, was heavily guarded, and Su Siyi naturally knew she couldn't enter. However, even as she wandered around the other areas of the starship, she couldn't help but compare it to the small starship she'd signed in with. While the starship before her was massive, her own small starship seemed far more refined, each detail imbued with a unique charm. Although she'd never actually piloted that small starship, let alone soared across the stars in it, the feeling she felt from the bottom of her heart grew stronger.
Su Siyi was filled with anticipation. She hoped that this interstellar journey would bring back advanced high-tech products to her hometown, bringing about a qualitative leap in her country's technological development. If so, her precious items hidden in space would have room to be put to good use, perhaps even bringing greater benefits to the people back home.
However, the two-week voyage proved to be long and tedious. Although they had heard there was a training room on the starship, they went there to try it out, hoping to pass the time and improve their skills. However, the room was overcrowded, with a long queue of people waiting, and the limited training space made it difficult to get a good workout.
Once the system confirmed it was safe, Su Siyi would usually enter the space to cultivate. She had now reached the second level of Tai Chi, corresponding to the foundation-building stage of cultivation. However, she knew that despite her cultivation, she had yet to master practical spells, a potential shortcoming in future challenges. So, she carefully searched through the inherited memories, selecting spells appropriate for her current stage of cultivation, and began diligently practicing.
One day, Su Siyi was immersed in her magical practice. Her figure was as lithe as a dancing butterfly, and she slowly soared into the air, using the Wind Control technique. Just then, Nangong Jingming entered the space and witnessed this scene. "Siyi, we're almost there, let's go out!" Nangong Jingming's voice echoed softly through the space, a hint of urgency.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Su Siyi immediately stopped the spell and slowly floated down to the ground. She quickly walked to Nangong Jingming's side, reached out and took his hand, and the two of them left the space together.
Others, likewise, were filled with curiosity about starships. During this long fortnight, they either delved deeply into their structures and operating principles, attempting to uncover their mysteries; or immersed themselves in the Star Network, eagerly poring over various resources, learning the basics of starships and striving to enhance their understanding of the interstellar world.
"Boss, we're here. Let's go down!" Feng Bolin hurried over and said to Nangong Jingming. His eyes revealed a hint of excitement and nervousness. After all, they were about to set foot on the unknown planet H468, and they would face a challenging assessment.
"Well, our people, try to stay together!" Nangong Jingming looked at the other team members firmly and said seriously. He knew the danger of this assessment. Only by unity can we better deal with various emergencies.
Soon, everyone disembarked from the starship in an orderly manner and set foot on the land of Planet H468. They were now on a vast plain, surrounded by unfamiliar and unknown scenery.
"Welcome to Planet H4268! You are the final group. All those participating in today's assessment competition have arrived. Let me announce the rules for this assessment." A tall, masked officer stood on a high platform and spoke loudly to the nearly people below. His voice was clearly transmitted to everyone through special equipment.
"Brother Nangong, that man is the eldest prince." Su Siyi leaned slightly closer to Nangong Jingming and whispered in his ear. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. After all, they had only met the eldest prince once, and they had no contact since that meeting. She didn't expect to meet him again here.
"Oh, why would he come here in person to take the test?" Nangong Jingming frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion as he stared intently at the eldest prince on the stage. He really couldn't understand why the eldest prince would personally participate in this test. After all, this was not something someone of his status would normally do.
Their previous meeting with the First Prince was primarily to discuss the provision of natural food. After that encounter, they assumed they would rarely cross paths again, but fate, as always, played tricks on them, finding them on the same land again so soon. The First Prince was wearing a mask, presumably to avoid revealing his true identity. The reason for this was truly puzzling.
"It's good that we know. He probably doesn't want anyone to know." Su Siyi said softly. She understood that the eldest prince's move must have a deeper meaning. Since he chose to conceal his identity, it was not convenient for them to ask more questions.
