Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

Chapter 273: Chapter 49, going to the auction tomorrow, I?

The armored vehicle soon came to a halt.

“Off the bus!”

“Yay~~~~”

“Hurrah!”

“Salute the kind-hearted military!”

Cheering erupted from the four armored transport vehicles, and the students couldn’t wait to rush to their dormitories as soon as they disembarked.

A hot shower!

Put on the latest clothes!

And then go out and enjoy!

They had never felt a day could be so eagerly anticipated.

Even the aristocratic students felt like they were seeing the light of day again.

Now, the vast majority were ready to meet this beautiful planet with a fresh, clean appearance.

Only a few students from really poor backgrounds decided to have dinner and tomorrow’s breakfast at the Special Training Base before setting off.

Mu Fan followed a duty soldier to retrieve the key to his locker.

Back in his dormitory, Mu Fan emerged freshly showered and in clean T-shirt and long pants, toweling off his hair, when he got quite a shock as he was about to dry his head.

He almost threw his towel in surprise!

He saw White Hair, who had just finished applying black eyeshadow, flash him a grin.

A row of shiny ear studs… stickers adorned his ears.

Two rings slipped onto his hands, and that signature studded attire was back on him!

Such an eyesore!

Mu Fan quickly rubbed his eyes vigorously with the towel.

“What are you up to?” Mu Fan hadn’t taken the towel off yet.

Hahaha, you must be so blindsided by my handsome and valiant presence that you can’t even open your eyes!

My charm is irresistible to both men and women.

White Hair proudly lifted his head.

“Tonight I plan to hit the streets, brother, to let my cool image be imprinted in the hearts of the residents here! The car god of the eastern Zhongjing is about to be born, hahaha.”

After spraying some hair gel and finally making his showy white hair stand up, Yin Shuai looked satisfied as he put down the mirror he was holding.

Then he saw Mu Fan was still wiping his face.

“You should be drying your hair now.”

“Oh.” Mu Fan subconsciously picked up the towel and moved it toward his head.

“Quick, tell me how handsome I look?!” Suddenly, a head full of white hair popped up from below, and Yin Shuai faced Mu Fan with a wide-eyed stare.

Nope, it hurt his eyes.

Mu Fan covered his eyes with the towel again.

“You’re handsome, you can go out now.”

“You’re really not going with me?”

“I’m not, I’ll go out tomorrow.”

“Alright then, let me know where you want to go tomorrow. I do know some people on Blue Capital Star.”

Seeing that Mu Fan wasn’t tempted, Yin Shuai waved his hand nonchalantly and, feeling quite pleased with himself, headed towards the door.

The wildest I, dating the hottest girls, riding the coolest locomotive!

Hahaha, this is the life.

White Hair laughed heartily to the sky, proudly walking out of the base, stepping onto the express line leading to the academy’s exit number seven.

“He’s finally gone…”

Mu Fan felt he would never reach such a Spiritual Realm in his lifetime.

He inserted the key, then placed his palm on it.

The double verification passed, and the locker opened up.

Inside lay his suitcase quietly.

Mu Fan put on a special alloy wristwatch representing Black, an invisible earpiece, and then pulled out a delicate black Sky Communication device.

There was another one in the suitcase, a gift from Fatty, but the black Sky Communication with a Begonia flower etched into it with a laser was something Wang Nuonuo insisted he carry with him.

The chubby girl, although looking far different in reality, had a personality as straightforward and adorable as she was on the Battle Net.

And it wasn’t just because she had given him so many things.

Lying relaxed on the bed, Mu Fan picked up the delicate black Sky Communication.

First, he’d make a call to Fatty on the Sky Communication.

No…

Suddenly, Mu Fan’s mind flashed with the image of Wang Nuonuo raising her little fist in a defiant gesture at the Space Port on Purple Jade Star as she had bid him farewell and boarded the spaceship. For some reason unknown to him, his finger tapped on the pinned avatar with a cute smiling face on the three-dimensional light screen–Wang Nuonuo.

Drip, drip.

…

Far away, eight light-years distant on Purple Jade Star.

A beautiful girl with a ponytail was lying on a sofa, swinging her fair, long legs back and forth rhythmically while her adorable little feet moved to the beat.

Wang Nuonuo was currently holding a Sky Communication device, engaged in a video call with her close girlfriend, Chuchu.

“Nuonuo, why do you keep asking me when school starts for the past two days? Isn’t our school opening at the same time?” Chuchu sounded baffled.

“Oh, I forgot, we start school next week, right?” Nuonuo said apologetically, but mischievously continued to munch on cherries.

“Sister, if you want to go early, just say so… Your thoughts are clearly written all over your face; Purple Jade Star can’t contain you anymore!” Chuchu, who was applying a face mask, spoke with resignation.

“Ahahaha, really? Miss here still loves her hometown very much.” The cherry Nuonuo was about to eat suddenly got stuck, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.

“That smile is too fake! You’ve been to Blue Capital Star before; why are you so eager this time?”

“I used to go with my grandfather, but this time I’ll have you with me, and it’ll be completely different! We go there two weeks early, have a good time, get to know the campus environment, then find our regular hangout spot–how meaningful is that?” Nuonuo stopped eating cherries and seriously suggested through the Sky Communication.

“That does sound good… But won’t it be too rushed to go next week? Let’s do it the week after next.” Chuchu on the other end pondered carefully and seemed to think Nuonuo had a point.

“Not at all; I can book the luxury cabin anytime. It’s a suite, you know, with one for each of us. I’ll cover the ticket cost!” Nuonuo’s eyes were wide with a flicker of emotion-stabilizing light.

Out of Sky Communication’s video view, Wang Nuonuo clenched her little fist–it’s do or die now!

“Alright, since Miss Wang is inviting me with such enthusiasm, I can’t refuse, haha~ Remember, you’re treating.” Chuchu’s eyes squinted like a fox, and even her face mask couldn’t hide her smile.

“No problem, I’ve got this,” Nuonuo declared confidently.

“Then after I finish my mask, let’s go to the commercial area; there are two new shops that opened up there. Let’s check them out.”

“No problem, I’ll get ready right now.”

Nuonuo, feeling utterly contented, popped the biggest cherry into her mouth, so sweet~

Drip drip, you have a new incoming communication, would you like to connect?

While looking at Chuchu’s image on the three-dimensional light screen, Wang Nuonuo suddenly saw another avatar flashing; someone was calling her.

Huh?

Seeing the avatar and name clearly, Wang Nuonuo, with half a cherry in her mouth, froze in shock. Then she immediately shouted toward the screen: “Miss here has something on tonight, can’t go anymore. You apply a few more masks, see you, Chuchu, bye bye bye~~”

With a snap, the communication was cut off before Chuchu’s astonished gaze.

…

Mu Fan waited ten seconds before the call connected, continuing onto a video chat.

Wang Nuonuo’s elfin smile appeared on the Sky Communication screen.

“Good evening, sir!” The ponytailed beauty waved her hand playfully.

“Good evening, Nuonuo! Over here… Training has just ended, rest day tomorrow,” Mu Fan said, scrambling for words before dryly recounting the situation.

“Haha, did you shock the Special Training Base Vice Admirals into dropping their eyeballs everywhere!” Nuonuo’s eyes formed crescents as she laughed; she was delighted to hear Mu Fan talk about these matters.

“Well, it was alright…” Mu Fan replied with a guilty conscience.

The conversation went on for ten sentences until Mu Fan admitted defeat, not knowing what else to say.

Now, staring at Wang Nuonuo’s bright and cute face, he always felt at a loss for words.

“Nuonuo, I have plans tomorrow, so I’m going to sleep now.”

“Oh, so early to bed? Alright then… Goodnight.” Nuonuo hung up Sky Communication with a look of disappointment.

Humph, just wait for Miss here to grace Ding Chuan next weekend!

With that thought, Wang Nuonuo called Chuchu again.

“Chuchu, let’s go shopping in a bit.”

…

Here, right after Mu Fan had hung up the Sky Communication, an ethereal voice whispered in his ear: “If I had a physical body right now, it would certainly be covered in goosebumps; that was painfully awkward.”

“Black!”

“First, your schedule; tomorrow you’re visiting the auction house.” Black didn’t waste words and went straight to the point.

“An auction tomorrow? Me?”

Mu Fan looked bewildered, the weekend plans had arrived, but what was he supposed to sell tomorrow?
