Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Xiaochen in Trouble
Xiaoyan didn’t quite understand why Mommy had that expression, but she still furrowed her brows and tried hard to think, then shook her head.
"It’s like, the feeling you get when you eat something delicious, really happy and comfortable."
"..."
Su Wan hugged her daughter, vaguely guessing that this must be related to the situation when her daughter used her superpower and the flowers, plants, and trees provided her with spiritual power!
But she was relieved to confirm that her daughter didn’t feel uncomfortable.
Over here, Gu Jue finally finished preparing five dishes and a soup, though far from as good-looking as the ones Su Wan made, the taste was surprisingly quite good.
Su Wan smiled and said, "Ajue, did you do something wrong, that’s why you’re preparing lunch today?"
Gu Jue: "..."
He lifted his head, frowned, and glared at the White Tiger, who quickly clamped its mechanical tail and flew onto the roof, pretending to be a bat.
Gu Jue pursed his lips, "No, I’ve always had you cook before, it was too hard on you. Eat up, or it will get cold soon."
Su Wan didn’t continue to ask about it, which relieved Gu Jue, but she started to talk about their daughter’s condition.
"Ajue, these past few days I’ve taught Xiaoyan Instant Teleportation, she learned very quickly, and then she said that every time she suddenly goes from one place to another, it feels very comfortable."
Gu Jue was taken aback, turned his head to look at the children’s seat beside him, where the delicate little girl was earnestly scooping up rice with her spoon.
Perhaps feeling her daddy’s gaze, the little girl raised her head and gave her dear dad a sweet smile.
Gu Jue felt his heart melting, indeed, his daughter was the cutest.
Gu Jue: "I have a theory, that is, Superpower Users are also evolving."
"Ajue, you mean, just like how Plantmen appeared, it’s a form of evolution, my becoming an acquired Beastman is a form of evolution, Xiaoyan’s use of superpower, which is different from when the rest of us use superpowers, is also a form of evolution?"
"Yes."
The emergence of any kind of evolution is actually a manifestation of mankind better adapting to the Universe.
It is also the greatest display of human’s own powerful genetic instincts.
After that, the couple discussed the matter of evolution seriously, and that managed to put the little girl sitting beside them to sleep.
Su Wan had finished her meal too, and she said, "Xiaoyan must have also gotten tired from playing this morning, why don’t we let her sleep here for a while."
"Okay, I don’t have anything later, I can stay here with her."
"Alright, I’ll head back to the office now."
There was a household robot that could clean up the dining table, so Su Wan didn’t need to think about it, but before she walked out the door, she said, "Ajue, you don’t have to care too much about Lin Yu, before, I always just saw him as a companion and friend, and from now on, he will just be an ordinary person to me."
The light in Gu Jue’s eyes paused, but Su Wan had already smiled at him and turned to leave.
Gu Jue suddenly turned to look at the White Tiger crouching in the corner, who quickly said, "Master, it wasn’t me, I didn’t say anything! It must be the mistress being as clever as snow, figuring it out on her own, plus you especially made lunch today..."
Its voice grew quieter and quieter.
After all, it was the one that suggested Gu Jue personally make a meal to cheer up Su Wan...
Seeing that its master did not seem intent on tearing it apart, the White Tiger boldly stated, "Actually, there are gains too, you see, the mistress didn’t get angry today and even smiled at you before leaving!"
Gu Jue: "..."
If Wanwan were angry today, would your White Tiger still be able to chatter away here in one piece?
Meanwhile, Su Wan had actually completely overcome her reservations. Now that being friends was no longer an option, she could only become an ordinary person. As she came to terms with this, she began to worry even more about her daughter Xiaoyan’s situation.
With such a special child as Xiaoyan, would she catch the eye of some dangerous element?
At this time, the first test for probationary commanders arrived; it was a cultural knowledge exam. Su Wan passed with high scores without question, and Pandora, Sheng An, and others also passed.
The number of people eliminated in this round was actually not high, because if one didn’t even have basic knowledge of universal common sense, let alone being an interstellar commander, even being an interstellar warrior was somewhat unqualified.
However, the second round of assessments was much more stringent. They were each fighting their own battles, then assigned to different virtual spaces, where they lead virtual interstellar warriors to complete various missions.
Su Wan said to Pandora, Sheng An, and the others, "We may be selected for different factions, and we could end up as enemies. Therefore, putting aside the thought of comrades, we must do our utmost to win."
Pandora was ready to rumble, "If I really end up facing you as an opponent, that’s like having a virtual PK with you!"
In fact, over the years, Pandora had challenged Su Wan to PK many times with few victories. Hearing there was another chance, Pandora’s eyes shone!
Sheng An didn’t speak. Su Wan looked at her; "Xiao’an?"
Sheng An: "Yes, I understand. However, this faction arrangement is highly random. It would be good if we could find information on the other probationary commanders."
"I saved the list when the preliminary test roster was announced, and I have roughly investigated their backgrounds. Here, I’ll send it to you."
"Xiaowan, you’re too kind!"
Su Wan smiled, transmitted the data to their optical brains, then said, "If we lose, there’s only one possibility: we are not as good as the opponent, not for any other reason. So, let’s all give it our all when the time comes!"
"Okay!"
While the probationary commander exam selection was being held on Landis Star, news came from the Universe Alliance that several Plantmen had been discovered.
This matter attracted high attention throughout the universe.
Gu Zilan even sent people to monitor the development and follow-up of the situation.
And those Plantmen who were discovered, they weren’t as fortunate as Xiaoyan; they were taken to the laboratory to be researched, without endangering their lives.
This also served as a warning to Su Wan. She must protect her daughter well to ensure that no one would have the opportunity to harm Xiaoyan.
But just the day before Su Wan’s second exam was to begin, an accident happened to the child!
It wasn’t Xiaoyan who had the accident, but Little Gu Chen!
It turned out Little Gu Chen was hijacked on his way back from the Imperial Palace!
To be precise, someone had tampered with Little Gu Chen’s starship, causing it to crash wildly and fly straight out of the main city of Landis Star!
Because of Gu Chen’s status, the warning starships along the way did not dare to act, choosing instead to avoid him.
This led to Little Gu Chen’s starship flying straight out of the main city, towards the barren area of Landis Star!
There was major radiation there, along with various mutated plants and star beasts. If he really crashed there, even if Xiaochen were unharmed by the crash, he would still face attacks from mutated plants and star beasts!
Gu Jue received the news first and immediately called his son’s optical brain, "Xiaochen, what’s your situation over there now?"
