This person is incredibly arrogant and absolutely unwilling to admit defeat.
However, he can often completely suppress his personal emotions in order to complete his "task".
"How was the handover with the National Defense Forces? Were they attacked because of some minor flaw?" Levy asked again.
Qin Chu glanced at him: "I did ask."
"What did you say?"
Qin Chu bent down to look at the control panel, his tone calm yet arrogant: "I said, if you're capable, go and catch it yourself; if you're not, shut up."
Levy chuckled, fully able to imagine the expressions on the faces of the National Defense Army officers who were making contact with Qin and Chu at that time.
The control screen froze on the page waiting for the captain to issue instructions. Qin Chu reached out and pressed the "Maintain original course" button, but the screen did not respond.
Qin Chu frowned. Had he guessed wrong?
Levi leaned over for a look, then patted him on the shoulder: "It's probably no use you coming. After all, you're just a pirate leader now, while I'm the proper captain."
As he spoke, he bent down and reached out to press the same button.
This time the button displayed a touch effect, but after two seconds there was still no response.
"Hmm?" Levy frowned unhappily.
Qin Chu and he exchanged a glance, both puzzled.
"Neither you nor I can do it. Are there any other living people in this space? Is this system broken?" Levi reached out and tapped the control screen, looking as if he was about to resort to violence.
Qin Chu was also at a loss for what to do, and subconsciously sat down in the main seat to think.
When he approached the control panel, his back was slightly bent, and two dark red tattoos were just visible at the ends of his hair on the back of his neck.
Against the backdrop of the silver-white military uniform, the two dark red patterns became even more prominent.
Silver-white military uniform?
Levi frowned and glanced at his clothes again; it was still that black protective suit.
After Hu's antics in the interrogation room yesterday, he and Qin Chu changed clothes. Last night, the two were busy getting tattoos, and this morning, without thinking, Qin Chu subconsciously put on the silver-white military uniform belonging to the captain of the First Warship.
After pondering for a moment, Levi reached out and tapped Qin Chu's shoulder with his finger: "Darling, I think I've found the reason."
"What's the reason?" Qin Chu turned to look at him.
“You might have to give my clothes back.” Levi reached out and fiddled with the zipper that was stuck on Qin Chu’s Adam’s apple.
"...What a joke, it's just a piece of clothing." Qin Chu slapped his hand away, then frowned in thought.
"Tsk, to be honest, after all, you're dealing with an artificial intelligence. What if this outfit is also part of the captain's identity?" Levi put his arm around Qin Chu's shoulder.
Qin Chu looked at him, his expression indescribable: "We're on serious business, don't keep thinking about these trivial things."
"...Would you believe me if I said I really just wanted to change my clothes?" Levi began to reflect. Due to his extreme enthusiasm for a certain leisure activity, he had clearly lost his serious image in Qin Chu's mind.
Qin Chu was somewhat skeptical.
"Since you don't have any other clues, try changing your clothes first." Levi pushed Qin Chu toward the office.
After fussing around for a while, the two changed their clothes and came out of the lounge.
Qin Chu still looked distrustful.
This time, Levy, dressed in a proper captain's uniform, stood in front of the control panel.
He reached for the screen, then turned to Qin Chu and said, "I pressed it. I'm not sure what will happen later, so be prepared."
"hurry up."
Qin Chu stood to the side with her arms crossed, not having much hope for his clothes-changing operation.
But after Levy tapped the option on the screen...
The entire screen suddenly changed, and the warship's system broadcasted: "We have chosen to maintain the original course and abandon the pursuit."
Qin Chu's eyebrows twitched.
Before he could express his doubts, the hazy fog around him slowly dissipated, but the original cockpit scene did not appear.
The data entities that had been paused seemed to be instantly pulled away and detached. Qin Chu only had time to grasp Levi's hand before feeling a brief dizziness.
Author's Note:
There should be another update tonight.
Chapter 123, The Sixth Story (7)
The familiar dizziness subsided, and Qin Chu quickly opened his eyes.
He had experienced this dizziness once before when he was first introduced into this world, and now that the same feeling was coming again, Qin Chu thought that the mainframe had silently switched their world.
But when Qin Chu opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong.
He was sitting in a comfortable, soft chair with a built-in soothing massage system that was gently pressing and kneading his back and cervical spine.
Qin Chu subconsciously glanced down at the letters engraved on the armrest of the chair.
This is a very common massage chair brand in the real world; Qin Chu even has one in his office.
This indicates that he is still in a space that is very similar to the real world.
Qin Chu sat up straight and looked around.
This is a quiet and spacious lounge, with a large table in front of the chairs and a standing mirror on the table.
Qin Chu's initial understanding of this piece of furniture was simply that it was a table with a mirror.
Forgive him for never having seen anything like it in the first few decades of his life. After leaning over and looking at it for a while, Qin Chu finally gave the table a proper name—a dressing table.
Qin Chu could see himself in a pure white suit in the mirror on the dressing table.
The suit fabric was special, shimmering with a pearlescent sheen under the light. The bow tie was also very elaborate, almost comparable to Qin Chu's attire in the vampire world.
What kind of place is this?
Qin Chu was absolutely certain that he had never worn such glamorous and flamboyant clothes in the real world, nor had he ever stayed in a room with a dressing table.
wrong.
If the rules of this world continue, then his current identity should be Levy.
so……
Qin Chu looked at himself in the mirror and raised an eyebrow indifferently.
If Levi were wearing this outfit and sitting like this in front of the dressing table... it would actually be quite fitting.
But where is Levy now?
Before the dizziness hit, Qin Chu remembered grabbing Levi's hand.
However, when Levi's consciousness was introduced into this world, it also entangled him, but they will eventually separate.
Qin Chu subconsciously raised his hand to look at his personal terminal, but his wrist was empty.
He reached out and rummaged around on the dressing table before finally finding a personal terminal that had been removed.
Qin Chu glanced at the time; the year displayed on the screen was different from before. In just a few seconds of dizziness, time had inexplicably moved forward five years.
He glanced at the month again; it wasn't currently the first warship's return vacation period.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qin Chu, the captain of the first warship, is currently stuck in a miserable state in a peripheral star system.
His current coordinates are on the Imperial Capital Star, which is a month's journey for an ordinary spacecraft. Even a high-speed military spacecraft would need three to five days to travel from the outer star system to the Imperial Capital Star.
In other words, this time, he and Levy are separated?
Qin Chu sat in the chair, stunned for a moment.
Separation is normal.
He and Levy were only inseparable in the last century.
Qin Chu often does missions alone, and most of the time he doesn't even have Noah's portable system. He has long been used to this quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
While all the soldiers on the first warship went home for their holidays, Qin Chu spent a short vacation alone on the empty starship.
During those fifteen empty days, Qin Chu adapted well and even felt very peaceful and comfortable.
Going back further, Qin Chu spent over a decade alone on the garbage planet.
He never experiences any discomfort.
But now, after learning that he had separated from Levi this time, he felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness.
Not only was my surroundings empty, but it felt as if a piece of my heart was missing as well.
That's really strange.
So it turns out he can feel lonely too.
In this strange and peculiar sense of loneliness, Qin Chu tried to contact Noah.
Noah did not enter this world at the same time as him, so their connection was not real-time.
After leaving a message for Noah about the current situation, Qin Chu sat in his chair for a while, lost in thought.
The massage program on the chair was still running, but it only made things a little noisy. Qin Chu raised his hand and turned it off, and the lounge immediately fell silent.
It was almost too quiet.
But amidst this quiet, faint voices could be heard coming from outside.
Qin Chu stood up, preparing to leave the lounge to take a look.
After taking two steps, he turned around and came back, picking up the personal terminal from the dressing table.
If Levy is indeed his identity, then he should be able to be contacted via a personal terminal.
Although they were separated by countless star systems.
Should we contact them?
Qin Chu ran his fingers along the edge of his personal terminal.
