Chapter 46 Conflict
Xu Linyu left, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He vaguely felt that he "should not" hate this empty shuttle, which seemed to be related to his secret...
At this moment, he heard a louder and relieved sound coming from the side. He glanced sideways and saw the glory on Wang Yue's face that had not been erased. Wang Yue noticed his gaze and immediately changed his gratitude to a pity, saying embarrassedly: "What a pity, Shu Yu, if you were taken to the Wildfire Research Institute by him, you don't have to worry about the future even if you have not evolved!"
He took the six words "even if there is no evolution" seriously, which made Chi Chuanyu frown and said loudly: "Wang Yue, how did you speak?"
Wang Yue curled his lips and said, "I'm sorry for Shu Yu. Now he is the only boy in the school who has not evolved. Then he will become a weak chicken and go to mining and work as a coolie. How wasteful it is."
What he said was the truth, but no matter how he heard this, it made people feel a little sour. Chi Chuanle's face still had a strong look of dissatisfaction, but Shu Yu didn't say anything, and he didn't want to say much. He pulled Shu Yu and said, "Let's go and see other models."
Shu Yu nodded. This model, which will be named "Jingwei" in the future, is located at the top of many shuttles in the Wildfire Research Institute. They are now going down and can just watch one by one. Below Jingwei is the snail shell series. They are not interested in this kind of home machine that is mainly comfortable, and they quickly walked away and arrived in front of the volcano series.
The Volcano series is a comprehensive model for high-end users. Volcano eruption implies the meaning of "nova" and makes many real novas feel a little embarrassed when opening it. However, it is very elastic, comfortable, functional and sturdy. Of course, the corresponding price is also very high, and it is really worth the money. Therefore, many high-ranking officials and wealthy people are just as proud of being able to own one, just like they don't know the meaning of its name.
Below the Volcano series is the Fanyin series. The first one is the Fanyin 287i, which is the upgraded model of Chi Chuanle's Fanyin 267i. It is faster and more flexible in driving. However, the relative difficulty of operation has also increased a lot. Therefore, although it was launched at the same time as the 267, many people still chose the relatively safer 267.
Chi Chuanle stared at the silver-gray shuttle and murmured: "I want to open it and see..."
Shu Yu teased and said, "It's not good to drive 267, but what about 287?"
Chi Chuanle shook his head and said, "The whole museum is equipped with repulsive devices, and usually they can't hit other things. Today, I dare not let go outside. I feel that it is too fast and can't control it. I'm afraid that it will be troublesome if I hit something and hurt someone. There will be no such trouble here... And I'm already familiar with 287, so what's the point of opening 267?"
Shu Yu spread his hands and said, "You can try it."
When Wang Yue heard this, he became excited and said eagerly: "I want to try it too! Let's go together! Are you here too?"
Shu Yu shook his head and smiled, saying, "You guys go, I'll watch you play here."
The two of them signaled to him and drove the empty ladder to the console quickly. All the test drives of the models here are handled by the console. Customers who want to test drive can go there to get the control bracelet.
Shu Yu stood there and looked at the shuttles. Although he chose to be low-key, as a young man, he also liked these speed synonyms, and he felt very happy to watch it like this.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel from the console. The quarrel was controlled by the device next door, and the sound was very small when it came to him. But his hearing was no less than Chi Chuanle, and he could hear Wang Yue's voice clearly, and turned his head in surprise to take a look.
Wang Yue was clamoring at the service staff in the console with a flushed face. Chi Chuanle stood aside and was a little embarrassed and was also saying something, but the voice was much smaller.
Shu Yu controlled the empty ladder to float over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Yueli ignored him and said loudly: "I am not a weak chicken! I am also a level 5 evolver!"
The service staff in the console is a real human, a sweet-looking service lady. She smiles, but invisibly reveals a sense of distantness: "Level 5 evolvers can test drive the shuttle in our area C and area D, and you can choose as much as you like."
Wang Yue shouted, "I am just interested in Fanyin 287. Can't you try the model here at will? Anyway, it's repulsive but it can't be broken!"
The service lady repeated: "Level 5 evolvers can test drive the shuttle in our area C and area D, and you can choose as much as you like."
Wang Yue seemed to have heard such words several times and was furious: "Are you a robot?"
The service lady smiled sweetly: "In order to provide more flexible and humane service, we did not use artificial intelligence at the reception desk."
Wang Yue was so blocked by her words that she didn't know how to speak. Chi Chuanle politely interrupted and said, "The notice at your door clearly states that 'This museum is equipped with repulsive devices, and you can test drive at will'."
The service lady smiled at him even sweeter: "Evolutionists above level seven can test drive any model of this museum at will, as long as they don't leave the museum, there is no restrictions."
In an instant, Wang Yue was furious: "Do you discriminate against level 5 evolutionists?" He pointed to Shu Yu who was walking over and said angrily, "Doesn't a weak chicken like him be put into the museum at all?"
"Wang Yue** said nothing!" Chi Chuanle was stunned, and then furious, "Is it amazing to be a level 5? Do you look down on your friends and classmates!"
The war suddenly affected him, and Shu Yu was not angry, but he was unable to react for a moment.
Wang Yue became more and more angry and shouted: "What about you! Why do you evolve together? You are at level 9 and I am at level 5? Why do you have the Sanskrit sound and I am nothing!"
Shu Yu murmured: "Isn't this a world now?"
Wang Yue glared at him: "Shut up! Is it your turn to speak?"
Chi Chuanle was also furious. With a wave of his hand, he would slap Wang Yue in the face. However, the entire empty shuttle hall was equipped with repulsive facilities to isolate all violent collisions. Chi Chuanle's slap was extremely strong, but instead slid away from Wang Yue's cheek, causing no damage.
His actions undoubtedly angered Wang Yue even more. He sneered loudly: "What a Chi Chuanle. If you have the ability, use your power to kill me! Isn't it that a level nine evolver will not be punished if you kill a level five evolver! You try your best to protect Shu Yu just to satisfy your superiors and protect the weak? Isn't they what they are thinking? He is the only one who is weak in their evolution, and maybe they will also treat you as a thorn in their eyes!"
Chi Chuanle's face turned pale and said, "Okay, Wang Yue, I treat you as a friend, you just treat me as a thorn in my eyes?! Then I have nothing to say, let's go our own way from now on!"
Wang Yue said nothing, and sprinted out of the Shuttle Hall in anger and disappeared on the road.
Their quarrel alarmed many people around, especially Wang Yue's last words revealed a lot of information, which made some people hear it and showed a deep thought expression.
But Chi Chuanle's face was still ashen, and Shu Yu was also a little embarrassed, as if it was not suitable to go up and inquire about the news. So some information was quietly released, and their whereabouts were also noticed.
The undercurrent began to surge.
*********************
After all, Shu Yu and Chi Chuanle lacked experience, so they did not pay attention to what was happening secretly around them. Seeing that Chi Chuanle was in a very bad mood, Shu Yu pulled him to a cafe. The two sat down. After Shu Yu ordered two cups of coffee, he stopped talking.
Hundreds of years have passed, and these facilities are not much different from those on Earth at the time. This cafe is even more retro. Even the cleaning workers in the store use humans, rather than being busy with robots like conventional ones. However, after all, it is the moon, and natural materials such as wood are difficult to transport and are extremely expensive. Therefore, most of the tables and chairs in the store are made of metal and designed in a very ingenious shape, which does not appear cold at all.
Under the slightly yellow lights in the store, gentle and deep music flows. It is a violin played by ancient music masters, not modern electronic synthesis music. Heifetz's "Song of the Wanderer" is low-pitched and melodious, sad and melodious, but wonderfully soothes Chi Chuanle's anger.
After a long silence, Chi Chuanle's breathing finally calmed down. After a while, he sighed and said, "How did it become like this?"
Shu Yu said "um" softly, but did not answer.
Chi Chuanle raised his head in confusion and asked Shu Yu: "Do you think this is my fault? I suddenly became a level 9 evolutionist. The principal's expression changed immediately when he saw me. In the past, the people in our entire Zero dormitory stood in front of him, like air. But now he started to smile gently from afar, and spoke to me very kindly and kindly... and also the Fanyin Flying Shuttle, the test drive qualification..."
Shu Yu asked back, "What do you think? What is the difference between you and you before?"
Chi Chuanle murmured to himself: "I, I don't feel anything yet... I feel like I'm dreaming and getting a fortune. I'm still worried about what it would be like if I wake up from my dream and return to my previous life..."
Shu Yu pointed out: "But you already have a lot of different things."
Chi Chuanle looked at him blankly: "Indeed, it's different from before... I have new power, and the attitudes of the people around me are completely different..."
Shu Yu looked at him silently and suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought that if this continues, you are a level nine evolver, and I am a non-evolver. For example, Wang Yue is like this today, he will be jealous of you, but at the same time look down on me. If you have been subtly influenced by this environment for a long time, do you think you will have any changes?"
Chi Chuanle said firmly: "You are my friend, this will not change!"
Shu Yu changed his statement: "For example, Wang Yue spoke rudely to you today, showing a completely different idea and approach from you, and you slapped him in the face." Chi Chuanle opened his mouth to explain, but was stopped by Shu Yu. "In this case, do you have no impulse to use your power? As long as you use your power, he will shut up immediately."
Chi Chuanle didn't say anything, and his face looked ugly. Obviously, at that moment, he had this idea.
This was expected by Shu Yu, and he continued: "What if it was me who had a conflict with you? Maybe you still think I am a friend now and you won't attack me, but what about a year later? What about ten years later? People around you have been telling you that you are important, and people like me are not worth mentioning at all? Will you change?"
An uncertain expression appeared on Chi Chuanle's face.
Shu Yu smiled slightly and then took it away again. He looked at the stirred vortex in the coffee cup and didn't say anything more.
Chi Chuanle also stared at his coffee cup without saying a word. The expression on his face changed, as if countless thoughts were stirring up in his mind. Time passed by. When Shu Yu finished drinking the coffee in the cup, Chi Chuanle suddenly raised his head and looked at him: "I understand what you mean! What matters is not what outsiders think of me! What matters is myself! How do I view myself, what kind of person I hope I will be!"
He picked up the coffee cup, drank it all, then wrinkled his face and complained: "It's cold, it's so bitter, it's so bad!"
Shu Yu looked at his expression and burst into laughter.
