Chapter 72: Ruminating

"Do you want to test your emotional star rating? Why?" The instructor asked after hearing the hurricane.
"Because I seem to have inadvertently made a spiritual appease, I want to know if our progress has really grown to six stars."
The instructor smiled disapprovingly. "There is a way to measure the emotional star, but I don't want to tell you."
The hurricane is puzzled, "Why?"
"It is not clear to what extent your feelings have developed. It is also necessary to use external means to judge. There are so many races in the world. Only our feelings can be measured by numerical values. Those species other than us don't fall in love. Yet?"
"I want you to develop emotional stars, because from an outsider's point of view, this is the only standard that can judge your feelings, but as a party, your feelings develop to what extent, you should be clearer than any instrument.

"In addition to the spiritual comfort, do you have other feelings? The psychologist defines this stage as the moment when the seed breaks the ground. When you touch his hand, the heart beats faster and he can't help but want to express his heart to him. This is the state that six stars should have."
"If you have, congratulations, your feelings have reached six stars, you don't need any instrument testing, you don't need to find me to confirm, your judgment should not come from there," the coach's finger to the computer, Then he moved to his heart, "but here."
When the hurricane returned to the bedroom, Ling Xiao was playing a new strategic simulation game. The living room was covered by the projection of the universe. Ling Hao manipulated his fleet and red-haired network to attack the planet of an unknown player. Intense, not the same.
"Return to defense! The tail ship needs support! You are back," his greetings interspersed among various shouts. "Someone attacked me!"
The hurricane walked over without saying a word, and took his hand. Ling Xiao was stunned by this move. Even the tense battles were put aside, and the sound of only listening to red hair in the room kept ringing:
"Ling, what are you doing? The enemy came to the reinforcements. They fired at your main ship! Why don't you move? Feed people!"
The hurricane quietly felt that Ling Xiao’s line of sight was moving up and down in disarray. What new power is this?
"what are you doing?"
"Nothing," the hurricane let go of his hand. Is it because the day-to-day interactions have long been more than that, so there is no heartbeat response when you touch your hand?
...what is it?
The sound of red hair was replaced by ice.
"Ling, is the hurricane coming back? If we come back, we will be social workers."
"Come back," Ling Xiao busy, they still have 30 hours of voluntary labor punishment, "Let's go."
He rushed to order the surviving fleet to reorganize and return to the camp. Together with the hurricane, they rushed to them and came to the administrative building.
The school workers there are familiar with this situation. "Go to recruit the board to take the task, the terminal will automatically record your working hours."
Ling Xiao looked down on them, from cleaning the school buildings to clearing roadblocks, and even clearing space junk.
"What does the x2 icon mean here?"

That’s a difficult job, double the timing,
the school worker glanced at them.
You are a first grade? I don’t recommend it.

"Isn't that enough for fifteen hours?" Ling Xiao pointed to the item that cleared space junk. "I want to do this."
"I think too!" Red Mao is pleased to agree.
"It's work is not to play," the school patted the table. "You can think clearly."
"I think this is good. I don't want to clean the school for 30 hours." Hail asked the hurricane. "What about you?"
"No comment."
Four people arrived at the space station through the transmission device. This was the first time they visited space. Although it was labor, it was as exciting as tourism.
"This is a space scavenger, an aircraft specially used to clean up garbage. You are responsible for cleaning up all the garbage in this area. Even parts smaller than one centimeter in diameter cannot be let go because these are likely to be safety hazards."
The staff of the space station introduced them to the operation process. "You should pay attention to avoiding high-speed objects when you work. After all, you are not driving a military machine. Its safety performance is very general and it is easy to be damaged after being hit."
"understood!"
They drove the scavengers out of the space station and saw the debris or debris floating in the universe. They used a vacuum cleaner or a robotic arm to recover them. This work was much more labor-saving than cleaning the schoolhouse, but it required more concentration.
"Look, what is that?" Ling Xiao pointed at the unknown object appearing on the radar.
The other three people were surrounded until they were getting closer to the UFO, only to recognize that it was an emergency escape.
Four people, look at me, I look at you, "Is this a big garbage?"
"No matter what, I will report it first."
Ling Xiao reported their findings to the space station.
"The space station has not received any distress signal, you can check it first, but be careful."
Ling Xiao flew two laps around the escape cabin, and there was no response. The application for access to the communication did not receive a reply.
"There may be no one inside."
"Not necessarily, maybe the people inside are not awake."
"I will go and see," Ling Xiao said.
"I am with you," the hurricane is not at ease.

Be careful,
the hail reminded.
Two people came to the cabin one after the other, the real space is still different from the simulation room simulation, their body has been adjusted to adapt to the space environment after a short period of adaptation.
This is a single-person sealed escape cabin. Without glass, it is impossible to see what is going on inside. Ling Xiao tried to turn the pressure valve. During this period, the hurricane carefully inspected the escape cabin. The spheroid was very tight, unlike the configuration that ordinary civilian equipment could achieve.
--how about it?
He floated to the side of Ling Xiao.
- Only forcibly breaking the door.
- This is very dangerous, or drag it back.
- If the person inside is in danger, it may be fatal to delay for a second.
When the hurricane thought about it, Ling Xiao’s words were not without reason.
He secretly held a protective cover of the soul crystal in his hand, and rushed to the bottom.
Ling Xiao strengthened the power, turned the pressure valve a few times clockwise, the door opened, and the two people were shocked by the sight.
The unconscious person in the escape cabin is only a primitive form. He obviously does not have the ability to survive in the space environment like Ling Xiao, and the body has quickly started to freeze.
The hurricane eyes were fast, the protective cover that was originally intended to protect them, and quickly covered the suspected state of mind. Ling Xiao was shocked by a cold sweat. He almost murdered a rudimentary state - but why is there a sacred state here? ?
Now the time is so much for them to think, the time of the shield is limited, they must transfer him to the scavenger as quickly as possible.
Ling Xiao turned to a few gestures. After a while, he extended a mechanical arm from the side of the scavenger's fuselage, and grabbed the protective cover together with the original state.
"How come there will be a rudiment here?" The red hair their reaction is as wrong as Ling Xiao. In Tiansu, nothing is more strict than the management of the original state. It used to be difficult to go out of school, not to mention appearing in space.
It was too bizarre that the ice opened his eyelids and looked really young. It was not an undeveloped adult.
But now it is imperative to save the seemingly endangered state, the hail activates all his healing soul crystals, and attaches his white forehead to his forehead and chest.
Ling Xiao and Hurricane used the rope to smash the escape cabin behind, and then hurried back, the hail exhausted all the mental power, and the color was poorly resting on the seat, but the original appearance looked much better.
"What happened?" Ling Xiao couldn't wait to ask if he could speak.
"If you ask the reason for his coma, it is caused by weakness, and you have to cut off the water. It seems that he has been there for a long time before we found him."
"If you ask why he is here, it is not known. We have already notified the space station and will return immediately."
The red hair has manipulated the scavenger to adjust his head and speed up the distance.
"Fortunately, the hurricane was discovered early, if not..."
Ling Xiao’s words have not been finished yet. Their aircraft slammed into a bump. The standing man barely supported the bulkhead before he fell. The lying state lying on the bed simply rolled down and hit the side heavily.
They hurried forward and took the man back. "What happened?"
Just after asking, it was a violent shock. At the same time, the cabin alarm sounded and the red hair came from the cab:
"We were attacked! The radar and communication systems have all failed!"
"what?!"
Ling Xiao stumbled and ran to the cab. "How is the damage so serious? Is the defense system activated? Weapons?"
"We are garbage cleaners, do you think we are warships?"
"Who is so mad and not even let go of the garbage truck?"
The red hair stunned his fingers and did not need him to say that Ling Xiao also saw it. In front of them, a behemoth gradually appeared, and the starship was black and sharp, giving a strong sense of oppression.
"Not good!" Another row of laser bullets flew, Ling Xiao grabbed the control rod left and right to avoid, and finally in the middle of a bomb, the defensive ability of the scavenger is almost awkward.
"The power system has also failed."
"I am going to repair!" The red hair ran to the tail, the hail continued to guard the state, and the hurricane came to the front.
"They are probably coming from something like us behind us."
"You mean, are they for that state?"
"Yes, otherwise who will make a big move to a scavenger," the hurricane sinks, "Can you connect with each other?"
Ling Xiao pressed a few times on the panel. "Our devices can't send out signals unless they contact us."
He just finished, the screen full of snowflakes flashed two flashes, a completely strange voice came, but the picture function was damaged, they could not see the speaker.
"Let's let go of the rescue capsule, I won't do it for you."
"Do you want to find someone inside?" asked the hurricane.
"This is not your business."
"If I told you, there is no one inside?"
"What?" The voice over there was immediately tense.
"Because people have been transferred to us."
The voice was silent for a moment, and it was already angry when it sounded again.
"Are you kidding?"
"It seems that you know who is inside. If you continue to attack us, the scavenger will soon be penetrated. We can delay for a while, but can you survive? If you come to save him, it will not be."
Ling Xiao has been quietly listening to the negotiations between the hurricane and the man, then suddenly raised his hand and turned off the microphone.
"You didn't think he might have grabbed all of us together with the entire scavenger."
"He won't want us to enter the inside of his cabin, not to mention the danger we may hold hostages. This person is very important to him. He doesn't dare to gamble."
After he finished, he turned his head and asked the red hair. "How is your progress?"
"Let me delay! It will be good soon!"
"Even if the power system is restored, you can't get rid of each other's attacks."
"Try it out."
"What do you want?" The man finally said.
The hurricane reopened the microphone. "We can send him back to his original place, but you have to fulfill the promise of letting us go."
There was a cold cry over there. "How do I know if there is anyone in the sealed compartment?"
"If we escape from now, at your speed, are you afraid of not catching up with us?"
The owner of the voice meditated and accepted the proposal. "You have five minutes."
The red hair was desperately posing behind.
"Ten minutes, we need time to transfer him. You don't want any flashes in this?"
"Ten minutes in ten minutes, I will supervise your every move here, don't do small moves."
The hurricane turned off the communication and saw that Ling Xiao was burying his head and doing the right thing with his terminal.
"It's useless, the other party uses magnetic field interference."
"What now?"
The hurricane calmly said, "Nature is doing what he said."
