On the evening of the eighth day of the new year, Xinlan finally went online. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info She called me to her office.

I looked at the 3C sign at the door of the office, "This office turned out to be Snow Lotus!" ”

"Yes! After Xue Lian was promoted to principal, she gave it to me. My water is good! She replied. How was the New Year? She asked again.

"It's a mess!" I say.

"Looks like you're idle! Do you want to find some work to do? ”

"What's the job?" I asked, "Programming?" ”

"Why are you so smart?"

"Does this have anything to do with the Phoenix?"

"Alas! How so? It can't be said that it doesn't matter, because Phoenix is doing it too. ”

"Phoenix, how is she?" I asked.

"She! Work has already begun. However, you can't do too much work, and it's especially easy to get tired. She wasn't like that before. ”

"Where's her phantom limb pain?"

Xinlan didn't answer me directly, but said, "Recently, she had to have an operation to replace her prosthesis. ”

"Do you have to have surgery to get a prosthetic leg?"

"Yes! It's a smart prosthetic. The electrodes needed to be attached to her broken nerve, and the prosthesis was attached to her thigh bone. ”

"Is that going to cut her thighs again?" I felt furious in my heart, why did I feel so mad?

"Linfeng, don't you care about the phoenix? Why not go to her? ”

"But does Phoenix need my attention?" I asked rhetorically.

Xinlan was silent.

"Let's talk about the program. What are the requirements? ”

In the following half a month, I made a total of no less than 500 program segments. But I never figured out what these programs were for. In the last few days, Xinlan was away, and it was the task that Shui Ling conveyed to me.

Unlike at that time, I didn't have any unpleasantness with Xinlan and Shui Ling. They were very satisfied with the efficiency and quality of my tasks. I don't know if I'm more serious than before, or if they're less demanding than Phoenix.

On the day of the end of the mission, Xinlan asked me: "Linfeng, Yusi's advanced class assessment has not been completed?" ”

"Yes! There are still four courses that have not been assessed. I replied, "Sister Xinlan can not be assessed." ”

"Yes! You turn into rain first! ”

I made an appointment for Xinlan's exam. The first three are all action events. Xinlan and I naturally changed into training clothes with long sleeves and high forks. There were a few more students in front of me who took the test. I noticed that one of the trainees had something special in his clothes. Actually, it's not that her training clothes are special, it's just an ordinary short-sleeved jumpsuit style, but she also wears black leggings underneath. Including the students and instructors, it was the first time I saw a female class with their legs wrapped.

They told me that the girl's name was Xiangning (I almost heard it as Xiangling, why do these two names sound so similar), and she was an executive from Yunning's company.

The girl is petite, pretty, and has a somewhat cold feeling. And it's also a bit familiar. Alas! Don't think about it. In the virtual world, it always feels like everyone has seen it somewhere.

The last item is IPV. Xinlan said to me, "You know what? IPV is not a compulsory course for every student. I can't take the IPV test because I just barely passed it. It must be assessed by Xue Lian herself. Now that Snow Lotus is injured, her shadow body is already at the highest level. You'll have to go and fight her shadow. ”

"And her shadow?" I asked, "What are the passing criteria?" ”

"Hold on to her for ten minutes." She replied, "Are you going to try?" ”

"Isn't Snow Lotus's shadow dormant?"

"Yes! But you can find a way to wake her up for a day. ”

The next day, I changed into a flight suit and boarded the IPV. At this time, another IPV of Snow Lotus was ready next to it.

I turned my head to look at Snow Lotus. She's looking at me too. For some reason, I don't think it's Snow Lotus's shadow. She felt like she was there.

We took to the skies. A minute later enters the confrontation. In the sparring with Snow Lotus's shadow two months ago, I had basically mastered her attack routines. So at this time, I have been using the mobility of IPV to evade her attack.

One minute. Two minutes. If you keep going around like this, can you also drag it out until it passes?

"Why don't you fight back?" Her voice came directly from the communication system, "You know, I am your enemy, and destroying the enemy is your goal." We train warriors, not humble gentlemen. If you just want to escape, I won't let you through. Also, deserters on the battlefield are always the best targets. ”

Before I could finish speaking, I already had a few more bullet holes in my wing. I immediately lifted, flipped over. At the same time, two missiles passed by.

At this time, the snow lotus had already appeared in my field of vision, and it was the largest target that could be seen from directly above. I fired the cannon and fired the missile at the same time.

The missiles did not hit, we got entangled in the air. In the subsequent rendezvous, we fired more than a dozen missiles at each other, but none of them hit each other, but my fuselage was already covered with bullet holes. My fourteen missiles have been fired, and Xuelian's missiles must have been gone, so we can only fight hand-to-hand with machine guns.

Seven minutes. Snow Lotus and I faced each other head-on. The sky was full of shells. My cockpit has been punched through several holes. That's when I saw two large shells flying head-on, with smoke coming from behind. That's not a shell, it's a missile. I was deceived by Snow Lotus! She didn't run out of missiles.

I hurriedly dodged. A loud explosion was heard, and the whole world outside the cabin spun in a tremble. I was hit. I've become a living target, if Snow Lotus still has missiles.

I saw Snow Lotus's IPV still spinning and approaching in front of me. I was still able to manipulate IPV to a limited extent, and my only chance was to die with Snow Lotus. I stopped firing the cannon and accelerated at the same time, keeping Snow Lotus's IPV directly in front of me. The target is getting bigger and bigger, and our fuselages are brushing at 90 degrees, and the cockpits are almost within reach of each other. We looked at each other for a moment, and then we were surrounded by flames.

I had two options, crash or skydive. In the virtual world, death is not a thing. But since it's simulation training, skydiving is the right choice. So I activated the ejection chair.

In mid-air, I saw both IPVs snap off one wing and fall down in black smoke. And there is no other umbrella flower in the air. Snow Lotus did not skydive, she chose to fall.

Was it really Snow Lotus's shadow who was talking to me just now? I always felt like she herself was hiding somewhere watching our fight.

So I didn't wait to land on the ground, but chose to finish early.

Xinlan was the only one at the airport. She said, "Congratulations, Yusi. You pass the exam with a score that beats Snow Lotus. ”

"I beat Snow Lotus?"

"Yes! Snow Lotus is dead, and you are alive. So it's you who wins. ”
