"AI is a kind of intelligent machine that reacts in a similar way to human intelligence, and it may not be possible to say that they are alive yet, but I think with the development of technology, they will come back to life one day." Chen Jianing thought for a while and said, she turned her head to look at Ding Xiu, "You haven't told Mingmei what you want to drink." ”

"Ding Xiu, tell me what flavor of juice you like." Mingmei took Chen Jianing's words and echoed.

"It's amazing...... Forehead...... Ask for a cactus juice. Ding Xiu was familiar with the sap of this common plant in the desert.

"I'm sorry, but Akemi doesn't have cactus juice here, and cacti aren't fruits." The girl's avatar on the screen shows an apologetic look.

"Akemi, bring me a glass of dragon juice." Chen Jianing said, and suggested to Ding Xiu: "There are also orange juice, apple juice, peach juice, ......."

"I want dragon juice too." Ding Xiu didn't know how to choose, he could only learn from the same, and he subconsciously didn't want to cause trouble to others.

"Two glasses of dragon juice, dear Akemi."

As soon as Chen Jianing's words fell, the platform between the two seats rose, and two glasses of fuchsia juice were handed out from the equipment inside, and ice cubes were still soaked in them.

"It's so advanced!" Ding Xiu's jaw dropped, "I've never seen a car like this." ”

"I haven't seen you before I met you, but this was given to me by the two masters after I came back from the western adventure." Chen Jianing said: "Mingmei...... Well, or maybe this car is the invention of Master Zhao Kang and Master Yuan Fang, who gave it to me as a future eighteenth birthday present. ”

"These two masters are amazing!" Ding Xiu exclaimed again.

"Of course." Referring to her two masters, Chen Jianing looked proud, "They are all grandmaster-level experts, and such people are only two hands when they look at the whole country." ”

It is said that hearing is false, seeing is believing, but this car opened Ding Xiu's eyes.

The purple-red dragon juice has a very delicate taste, and there is a sweet and moist taste in the mouth. Ding Xiu tasted it slowly, and listened with great interest to Chen Jianing's introduction of the situation in Brilliant City.

"That's right, Jia Ning." Ding Xiu suddenly remembered what he had discussed with Gu Beimo earlier, "Does your family have anything you like?" Lao Gu and I came to the door for the first time and wanted to buy a gift for them. ”

"It stands to reason that it would be better to bring a gift for the first time." Chen Jianing smiled, "But your gift has already been given, and it's still a big gift." ”

"Already delivered?" Ding Xiu didn't understand what she meant, and said with a puzzled expression: "I haven't seen them before, how can I already give gifts?" ”

"You saved my life in the west, is there a more precious gift than this?" The girl thought of the experience of the two of them in the west, and her heart warmed again, the young man who had risked his life to protect himself was now beside her, and she once thought that the two had been separated by yin and yang.

"But is it really okay to come to the door for the first time without a gift?" Ding Xiu was not very familiar with human affairs, so he had to lean towards Chen Jianing's opinion.

"Not really." Chen Jianing said, "My family is very grateful to you. ”

"That'...... Lao Gu and I are not suitable to go to your house in this dress now, or find a place to sell clothes first, and we will change our clothes. Ding Xiu looked down and glanced at the blood stains on his clothes that couldn't be washed off, as well as the old marks that had been worn out.

"Well, that's fine." Chen Jianing knew that Ding Xiu and the others had endured a lot of hardships along the way, and now that they were coming to the door for the first time, they could leave a better impression on their family by dressing appropriately.

She gave Akemi-san a new order, and the route home was readjusted.

The three of them arrived at a large shopping mall, parked their cars in the parking lot, and took the elevator to the inside of the mall.

Chen Jianing took Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo to walk around for a while, Gu Beimo picked out his clothes, but Ding Xiu was still a little undecided.

Ding Xiu's life has been spent almost in the desert, and the style of clothes he wears has always been one for more than ten years, that is, the military uniform of the border guards. When he came to this kind of high-end shopping mall, he suddenly found that his eyes were a little insufficient, and he felt that no clothes were as suitable as military uniforms.

"Do you want me to pick it for you?" Chen Jianing asked.

"Okay." Ding Xian has this intention, he is good at fighting and killing, but he is very immature in urban life.

Chen Jianing chose some clothes and handed them to Ding Xiu, "This one and this one are matched together, and this white shirt is worn inside, and the light blue sportswear is a set, you can try it together later." ”

Ding Xiu took the clothes and walked towards the fitting room, and Gu Beimo happened to come out of it.

"Dude, how is me?" Gu Beimo called Ding Xiu and put on a POSS.

"Nice, handsome, spirited." Ding Xiu said.

"Haha, that's it." Gu Beimo happily ran to the fitting mirror and looked at it again, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became.

Ding Xiu went to the fitting room, and every time he changed his clothes, he came out to show Chen Jianing, his figure was already slender and fit, and it was very easy to get an effect when he wore clothes.

"This set is good, and the one just now is fine." These clothes were all matched by Chen Jianing, and the girl looked at Ding Xiu very handsome on her body, and her temperament jumped out at once, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Waiter, these are all for you, swipe my card." Chen Jianing said and took out a black card and handed it over.

The waiter took the card, and when he saw that it was the black gold card of the Central Bank of Grells, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, and he immediately knew that the guest in front of him was either rich or expensive.

This kind of black gold card is made of titanium, and the central bank does not issue it publicly, nor does it have a channel to apply, but the bank actively selects 1% of customers among platinum card users and invites them to handle it.

The black gold card is the ID card of the "high society", and it corresponds to the family behind the cardholder. Moreover, banks are also very strict in their requirements for card holders, and ordinary customers and rich but not expensive people simply do not have the opportunity to get such cards.

Seeing the card acquaintance, the waiter's attitude became more and more respectful.

"Jia Ning, how can we make you spend money when we buy clothes?" Ding Xiu hurriedly took out the money and wanted to pay in front of Chen Jianing.

"Why shouldn't I spend money on the clothes I chose?" Chen Jianing deliberately asked rhetorically, and motioned to the waiter to let the waiter swipe his black gold card.

Seeing that the waiter had already swiped the card, Ding Xiu had no choice but to give up, because it was Chen Jianing's money spent, so he looked a little embarrassed.

"I've got money."

"It's not in conflict with me that you have money and I spend money to buy you clothes." Chen Jianing smiled and said, "You saved me, didn't you even let me give you a few clothes?" ”

"Not ......"

"Okay, you're going to go to Brilliant Academy in the future, so keep your money and spend it slowly."

"Going to Brilliant Academy?" Chen Jianing's words made Ding Xiu stunned.

"It's the school I'm going to now, and I'll ask my grandfather to recommend you to go in too." Chen Jianing nodded, "Brilliant Academy is the highest institution of learning in Grells, and the people who can go in to study are all one in a million, and grandpa happens to have the authority to recommend talents, so the opportunity is rare." ”

"Can you really go to study in there, but I've never been to school, will it cause you trouble?" Ding Xiu said with some concern.

"Ding Xiu, it's a rare opportunity." Gu Beimo patted him on the shoulder: "This is an opportunity that no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it." ”

"I know." Ding Xiu nodded and said, "I'm just worried that I don't have enough qualifications to go in, and I will cause trouble for Jia Ning's grandfather." ”

"Who said you weren't qualified." Chen Jianing retorted to him: "The ability you showed when you saved me in the west is not the best in the academy, but it is also at the upper middle level, I believe in you, Ding Xiu." And you have to be confident yourself, and after meeting my grandfather, behave well. ”

"Okay, I'll try." Chen Jianing said this, Ding Xiu no longer refused, what he was thinking about now was not to live up to the girl's trust. In addition, being able to study in the academy with Chen Jianing is also something he dreams of.

After leaving the mall, Akemi drove on the way home, Chen Jianing still let it autonomously, sitting in the car, she and Ding Xiu began to talk about the things in the academy.

From Chen Jianing's mouth, Ding Xiu knew that there were four branches of Brilliant Academy, and the students of each branch majored in different courses. After Chen Jianing introduced him to the information of the four branches, he asked him which branch he planned to join.

"I'm in the Science and Technology Branch, and Cousin Huaiyu and Cousin Zhixi are in the Courage Branch. Well...... Ding Xiu, I think you have the ability to study in the Courage Branch. Chen Jianing gave advice.

"Is the course fixed?" Ding Xiu thought for a moment and asked.

"There are only two courses that are fixed, and the others can be elective."

"Then I'll choose the Science and Technology Branch." Since he could choose what he could learn, Ding Xiu naturally wanted to stay in a branch with Chen Jianing to study.

"It's okay to choose a science and technology branch." Chen Jianing thought about it for a while, and then agreed to his decision.

Although we are now in an era of rapid development of genetic science, the power of science and technology in other areas should not be underestimated. No matter how strong an individual's physical fitness and combat ability are, he can only be like the arms of a praying mantis in front of the wheels of technology.

"Don't be nervous when you meet my grandfather later, he may ask you something about what happened in the west, you just tell the truth." When she got closer to home, Chen Jianing suddenly became a little nervous, she treated others with herself, and then worried that Ding Xiu might also be nervous.

"I'm a little nervous right now." Ding Xiu touched his chest and took a deep breath.

"Akemi-san, let's have some music that will relieve the tension." Chen Jianing gave instructions to the AI.

"Okay, first song, Castle in the Sky." Akemi's gentle voice sounded along with the music.

Who's in the distant night sky,

Waiting for meteors to fly by,

See whose path it illuminates,

Who walked into whose dreams.

Who with a bright smile,

Draw a rainbow on the horizon,

Whose song is sung softly, who is listening,

The gentle heart is beating.

……

The song is tactful and melodious, sad because of its loneliness, and the story in it seems to be profound, both touching and hopeful.

Ding Xiu had never heard this song, and he was intoxicated by it for a while.
