PFC Chapter 771 Couple?
Chapter 771 Couple?
Chapter 771 Couple?
Caledar Military Academy, simulation room.
Rows of cockpit canopies slowly descended.
All the trainees picked up their helmets and put them on.
"Aerial combat simulation, single-player mode, one-on-one duel, countdown: five, four, three, two..."
Elowin turned and glanced at the guy in the simulator next door, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Yesterday, she watched his aerial combat video all day long, in first-person, spectator view, watching it over and over again, trying to figure out why he was able to complete that impossible mission and escape unscathed, even maliciously trying to find out if he had exploited some loophole in the simulation equipment.
However, after she watched it countless times...
All I felt was... despair.
That kind of crazy, daring, and extremely dangerous extreme operation... was beyond her imagination. Even if she tried twenty or even a hundred more times, she could not reproduce that operation. That was not a flight decision that a normal human would make; it was more like that of a madman.
The other person stared blankly at the control panel, not even looking at himself, and simply followed the instructor's orders to pick up the helmet and put it on.
Elwin withdrew his gaze, picked up his helmet and put it on, his face serious and his eyes sharp as he looked straight ahead.
Alright, I'll see it for myself today.
Are you really that perverted?
……
The first thing that appeared before Fu Qinghai's eyes was the familiar, boundless, dark space, with twinkling stars in the background, and another TIE fighter jet dozens of kilometers away from him.
The surroundings were vast and empty without any obstacles. The two fighter jets did not probe each other at all. After starting up, they rushed straight towards each other. In a Western cowboy-style gunfight, Fu Qinghai hit the opponent first. Two explosive beams flew past the cockpit, and Fu Qinghai won the duel.
The screen went black again.
1: 0.
……
A new scene reappeared before Fu Qinghai's eyes: a bright sun and clear blue sky with white clouds overhead, and an endless desert below. His opponent was located to his upper left, with matte black solar panels appearing and disappearing behind the clouds.
Atmospheric warfare?
Instead of immediately gaining altitude, Fu Qinghai dove downwards, prompting his opponents to burst out of the clouds and fire at him relentlessly. Just as Fu Qinghai was about to crash into the ground, he suddenly pulled up, the lower edge of his wingtip grazing the sand.
Fu Qinghai even imagined the sound of sand and gravel flying everywhere, as well as the strained groans of the fighter jet's anti-gravity system, even though the simulator didn't provide these real-world feedbacks.
The TIE fighter's unique shape is not actually suitable for combat within the atmosphere; its role is that of a space superiority fighter. Nevertheless, Fu Qinghai still managed to maneuver the TIE fighter, rolling and rotating its fuselage while completing a 180-degree turn.
When he locked his gun on the enemy plane chasing behind him, he found that the opponent had entered a kind of stall spin because it was chasing too fast. So he released his finger from the trigger and watched the opponent spin and crash into the desert.
2: 0.
……
The scenes keep changing: ocean, snow-capped mountains, canyons. Fu Qinghai and his opponents traverse asteroid belts in outer space, dodging and dogfighting amidst the barrage of fire from a fleet of warships...
3：0，4：0，5：0，6：0……
In the simulation room, more than sixty students were randomly paired up for a one-on-one challenge in a single round. Fu Qinghai's record kept improving, and depending on the complexity of the scenario, the average time of each match could be kept within five minutes.
Fu Qinghai methodically and systematically eliminated one pilot trainee after another, his skillful technique resembling that of an operator on a slaughterhouse assembly line. The other students were like piglets being delivered on a conveyor belt, being cut up and processed by him one by one.
His score was finally 32-0. The screen went black and never appeared again. A moment later, the screen lit up and his simulator hatch rose up.
"laugh--"
As soon as Fu Qinghai turned his head, he saw a beautiful girl with black hair standing next to him, arms crossed, looking down at him expressionlessly from outside the simulation equipment.
"We'll continue after a 15-minute break."
The instructor's voice came over the loudspeaker.
All the simulator hatches were opened, and the trainees came out one after another. Some stood up and stretched, while others remained sitting inside, staring blankly at the screen, as if they had not yet recovered from their failure.
"Is something wrong?"
Fu Qinghai looked at the girl and asked curiously.
"Roxy stayed at your place for the last two nights?"
The black-haired girl asked calmly.
"What does this have to do with you?"
Fu Qinghai asked back with amusement.
"I thought she liked women."
The black-haired girl said calmly.
"But that doesn't stop her from liking men."
Fu Qinghai shrugged.
The black-haired girl gave a soft hum.
"Ivy Elowen".
She began to introduce herself softly.
"Green Mountain."
Fu Qinghai nodded in response.
Elowin peeked at Fu Qinghai's screen and saw the glaring 32-0 score. He pursed his lips, somewhat resentful, and looked at Fu Qinghai, saying:
"What kind of skill is it to bully these newbies? If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight. You can choose the scene, how about it?"
Fu Qinghai turned around and looked at Elwin seriously, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and said:
"You wouldn't be trying to steal my techniques, would you?"
"Have you always been this arrogant?"
Elowen scrutinized Fu Qinghai from head to toe:
"I never expected Roxie to like this kind of man."
Fu Qinghai turned to face the screen with an indifferent expression:
"Don't worry, it will be your turn in the normal order, but you only have one chance to learn my technique."
“Roxy said…you’re interested in me.”
Elowin leaned closer and whispered beside the hatch:
"If you beat me, I'll give you some strawberries, how about it?"
What kind of third-rate online novel plot is this?
Fu Qinghai looked at Elwin in surprise.
No, even third-rate online novels don't have this kind of plot.
This is a plot point from Huang Wenli's novel.
"Okay."
Fu Qinghai gave a wicked smile.
Even if such a plot actually appeared in a third-rate online novel, most male protagonists would usually choose to refuse, but Fu Qinghai is not a third-rate online novel male protagonist—he is a male protagonist in erotic novels.
Elowin turned and walked to the center of the simulation room. There she found the instructor, pointed in Fu Qinghai's direction, and then stated her request. The instructor looked at Fu Qinghai with a questioning look in his eyes. Fu Qinghai shrugged and indicated that he didn't care. So the instructor nodded.
Elwin walked back expressionlessly, stepped into the simulator, sat down, and put on the helmet with both hands.
Fu Qinghai also picked up the helmet and put it on.
While the other students in the simulation room were resting or chatting and reviewing the game, the two hatches here had already slowly descended.
Hey, look over there.
One of the students pointed this way and said.
"Why did they start so early?"
The student next to him asked with a puzzled look on his face.
……
Against the backdrop of the pitch-black cosmos, two TIE fighters, like two relentlessly entangled venomous bees, staged a deadly ballet. The fighter in front was constantly performing barrel rolls, trying to shake off the relentless Grim Reaper behind it. The fighter behind seemed to anticipate its every move, barrel rolling in sync, its dynamic sights locked tightly on the engine exhaust.
Inside the cockpit, Elowin could clearly hear the increasingly rapid beeping sound after being locked by the fire control system.
Elwin steered her fighter jet sharply downwards while simultaneously making a sharp left turn. Fu Qinghai, however, seemed to have anticipated this, cutting into the inner corner almost at the same moment. A green burst of energy, like a viper's hiss, grazed past her spherical cockpit, leaving two fleeting energy trails in the void, and simultaneously sending a chill down Elwin's spine.
The battle was dragged into a chaotic asteroid belt, where massive rock fragments floated and spun silently, becoming the most dangerous obstacles in this cat-and-mouse game. The two fighter jets weaved through the jagged boulders at astonishing speeds.
Large and small meteorites of various shapes moved, rotated, and collided along different trajectories, then broke into more meteorites. Elwin maneuvered her fighter jet to avoid obstacles moving in all directions. Just flying the jet at high speed in this extremely complex environment had exhausted all her analytical and judgment abilities—and she guessed that Fu Qinghai was in the same boat.
She wanted to shake off the pursuers who were close behind her and get them back on the same starting line. She did it. The beeping sound that had been aimed and locked on finally disappeared, and the persistent guy was gone.
Elwin gripped the control stick tightly, her eyes fixed intently ahead. The fighter jet darted out from between two converging asteroids, then swerved around a tumbling dumbbell-shaped boulder. She had already ventured deep into the asteroid belt, surrounded by chaotically moving rocks—an environment far more dangerous than her adversary's.
As she narrowly avoided an irregular boulder several hundred meters wide, she couldn't help but secretly applaud her skillful maneuver. Suddenly, she realized that directly in front of her, a TIE fighter jet was hovering silently, accompanied by two green energy beams that shot straight at her face.
"what!"
Startled, Elwin immediately released his grip on the handle.
The screen in front of her had gone black.
0: 1.
A score display appears at the top of the screen.
She was completely focused on dodging the meteorites when the enemy fighters suddenly appeared, startling her as if she were playing a horror game instead of an aerial combat simulation.
"Damn it... let's do it again!"
Elwin shoved the control stick hard.
She felt ashamed and embarrassed by her behavior just now.
Fortunately, no one saw it in the simulator.
……
Fu Qinghai calmly controlled the joystick.
He anticipated that Elwin wouldn't accept defeat after losing once.
Objectively speaking, Elwin's fighter piloting skills are indeed significantly superior to those of the other trainees. At least Fu Qinghai cannot control every duel to end quickly within five minutes. Elwin has the ability to hold his own against Fu Qinghai.
But that's about it.
He quickly figured out Elwin's operating habits and driving style. Even without overwhelming him with his speed of reflexes and information processing ability, he could cleverly set up a trap to lure him in and then easily turn the tables and defeat him.
After winning three rounds in a row, Fu Qinghai started to play around. He deliberately provoked Elowen, even intentionally avoiding using the blast cannon throughout the game, instead circling around to lure her into chasing him. Finally, he seized the opportunity to maneuver his fighter jet and crash into her.
"Oh!"
The two TIE fighter jets collided violently.
The screen in front of Elwin went black again.
She looked up at the top of the screen:
4: 0.
"No...why? This isn't fair!"
Elowin slapped the control panel in disbelief.
"laugh--"
The hatch of the simulation equipment slowly rose.
Elwin angrily stepped out of the simulator and strode aggressively toward Fu Qinghai's simulator.
Fu Qinghai's canopy also rose.
What trick did you use?
Elwin leaned against the simulator and angrily questioned:
"We clearly collided, so why did the system determine that you won? Did you exploit some kind of program vulnerability?"
Fu Qinghai smiled and looked up at her:
"Because I struck your cockpit with my left wing panel, the system determined my damage level to be 40%, while your damage level was 100%—because the pilot in the cockpit is dead. This result precisely demonstrates that the simulation equipment correctly reproduced the situation in real battlefield, understand?"
"Uh……"
Upon hearing this, Elwin stood there dumbfounded.
He even anticipated this? He could eliminate me without using any weapons, simply by crashing his plane into another one...
She heard the sound of her own Dao heart shattering:
I thought I was a genius with unparalleled talent, but in the end I was just an ordinary person...
Fu Qinghai stepped out of the simulator, ignoring Elwin beside him, and looked at the instructor, asking:
"Sir, what are the credits for this course?"
"Full marks, you can leave get out of class now, Aoyama."
…………
The stars have just set behind the mountains.
The curtains in the dormitory were drawn tight again.
Fu Qinghai was already sitting cross-legged on the bed.
In the past two days, he had already finished reading all the textbooks for the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Architectural Engineering. The Imperial Engineering Academy also had ten other majors. So Fu Qinghai once again used his transformation amulet to disguise himself as a crow and sneak into the Engineering Academy's teaching materials warehouse to steal textbooks for the other majors.
At this moment, there was a small pile of data bars on his bed.
Fu Qinghai randomly picked one and plugged it into the e-reader.
The holographic projection illuminated his face.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
There was a knock on the door behind him.
Is Roxie addicted to drugs?
Fu Qinghai put down the reader, stood up, and thought:
After what happened yesterday, she still wants to come today; she's definitely got a taste for it. But then again, my abilities in this area are indeed quite outstanding, so Roxie's infatuation is only natural. So, I'll reward her again today…
The door opened, and outside stood Elwin.
Fu Qinghai raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Elwin walked in with his head down.
She really is a girl who keeps her word.
Fu Qinghai reached out and pulled Ailovin into his arms. The girl obediently let him pull her to the bedside. After closing the door, Fu Qinghai sat down on the edge of the bed with a swagger.
…………
The next morning.
Fu Qinghai and Ailov walked together toward the cafeteria.
As they approached the cafeteria entrance, Elowin naturally came over and took Fu Qinghai's arm.
Fu Qinghai turned to look at Elowen. The girl's gaze was calm and straight ahead, her demeanor composed and confident.
The two entered the cafeteria, which was bustling with people at this time of day. Their arrival quickly attracted the attention of many people around them.
"Hey, isn't that Aoyama?"
"Did I read that correctly?"
"That girl looks like she's from the Naval Academy?"
"Don't you recognize the most beautiful girl in the Naval Academy?"
"Holy crap, they're together?"
As expected, the students around them who were getting food and eating all cast surprised glances and then immediately began to whisper among themselves. Fu Qinghai had already guessed this scene before he came in.
Firstly, many male and female cadets at military academies get together in private, given the immense pressure of training and the need for venting. Moreover, the relationships are not limited to male and female. However, it is rare for them to publicly acknowledge their relationship status, and it is extremely uncommon to see them holding hands in the cafeteria like this.
Although Calidae does not explicitly prohibit students from dating, all students must obey assignments and go their separate ways after graduation to serve in various parts of the galaxy. It is difficult to maintain long-term relationships, and most students at most just want to find a bed partner. Almost no one wants to date.
Secondly, Fu Qinghai and Ailovin happen to be two of the more famous star students at the Calida Military Academy.
Fu Qinghai goes without saying. He is the student who has broken the most records in the history of Calida Military Academy. His name always occupies the top spot on the GPA ranking list, and by a huge margin. Not only students, but also many instructors and school leaders know his name and know that there is such a person.
Elowin was quite famous at the Naval Academy, mainly because of her good looks and excellent grades. Although she wasn't as extravagant as Fu Qinghai, who broke records at the drop of a hat, her piloting skills far surpassed those of her classmates. Moreover, she consistently maintained the persona of a "proud and aloof genius girl." So, when she suddenly appeared in the cafeteria arm in arm with a man, it naturally aroused gossip among her classmates who knew her.
"You know what, they really are a perfect match."
"Wow, they really do look good together."
The two girls sighed enviously.
Some boys also let out a mournful wail of resentment:
"Waaah, novels and comics are all lies after all. The aloof, beautiful, and academically excellent ice queen of the college would never look at a loser like me. Only the first place can win her heart."
"Shut up, you otaku nerds."
"Don't be awkward, bro."
Fu Qinghai noticed that after hearing the comments from the girls around him, Elowen remained outwardly calm, but slightly raised her chin and tightened her grip on his arm.
This girl is quite vain.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself.
He actually guessed why Elowin was holding his hand—she probably enjoyed the feeling of being the number one girlfriend in the whole school, but in fact, the two of them hadn't defined any relationship at all last night, and neither of them had confessed to the other.
But there was no way around it; if a girl takes your hand, you can't just shake her off, can you? Last night, Elowin was very obedient and cooperative. Fu Qinghai recalled how her eyes were red and teary, and how she kept gagging, so he let her hold his hand.
Fu Qinghai arrived at the familiar table and plopped down, with Elowen sitting right next to him.
Yevand and Hussein, who were engrossed in eating, slowly raised their heads and stared blankly at Fu Qinghai and Elowin.
"Qingshan, this is..."
Yevander spoke with food in his half-open mouth.
"Ivy Elowen, Roxie's roommate."
Fu Qinghai gave a very simple and casual introduction.
Roxie put down the metal spoon in his hand, slowly raised his head, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and looked up at Elwin, who was sitting opposite Fu Qinghai.
Elwin leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, chin slightly raised, meeting Roxie's gaze without flinching.
"So this is how you get revenge on me?"
Roxie looked at Elwin with a half-smile.
"whatever you think."
Elowin shrugged and said with a slight curl of his lip:
"Anyway, you betrayed us first."
"She's so quick to throw herself into my arms, she's really proactive."
Roxie narrowed his eyes and smiled sarcastically.
"Who told you to eat so well outside behind my back?"
Elowin raised his hand and placed it on Fu Qinghai's shoulder:
"I can't blame you, who wouldn't like a man like that?"
As Elowin spoke, he leaned forward and brought his face close to Roxie's, whispering in her ear:
"I forgot to tell you, he was really rough last night."
Roxie smiled and gripped the spoon in her hand.
Yevander and Hussein stood frozen in place, holding their cutlery, without eating a single bite. They exchanged a glance and thought to themselves:
The relationship between Roxie and her roommate... seems a bit complicated.
Fu Qinghai was so engrossed in eating that he seemed not to hear the conversation between Roxie and Elowin at all.
Just then, an instructor holding a document walked over, patted Fu Qinghai on the shoulder, and said:
"Stop eating yet, Qingshan. The director of the political department wants you to go to his office now. Come with me."
Fu Qinghai raised his head, somewhat bewildered:
"The director of the political department? Wasn't he dead?"
"Watch your mouth!"
The instructor glared at him and reminded him:
"Of course it's the new director of the political department. The principal just promoted him. He used to be the deputy director. Don't say anything wrong."
No, why would my casual fling with a woman alarm the head of the political department? Are they going to give me a talking-to?
Fu Qinghai frowned and put down his spoon.
He hadn't even finished his breakfast yet.
