Lu Xing, Don't Poke the Ant Nest

After reading the history of the Future World, Lu Xing finally understood why the nuclear war of the ancient era was not taken seriously.

In this long history, wars that didn't kill half the population weren't even worth recording in historical texts.

The reason why the history of the 21st century wasn't mentioned was also simple; after all, it took five thousand years just to have one conversation with aliens. The history of the 21st century was simply not significant enough.

Time flew by.

At five in the afternoon, school ended.

Lu Xing slung his empty backpack over his shoulder and slowly walked out of the classroom door, deliberately taking the stairs down instead of using the local network to move directly to the school gate.

As he reached the corner on the second floor, a boy called out to him.

"You're from the White Cat Society, right?" Lu Xing preempted.

"Yes."

"I'll consider your invitation, but not now."

Lu Xing paused, then said, "Right now, I am Lu Xing. When I am Jiang Xuannv next time, I will tell you my decision."

The person from the White Cat Society was stunned for a moment, then asked with a hint of awe, "You have two adaptation systems?"

Lu Xing didn't know what that was and left calmly.

The boy behind him followed his steps and quickly said, "Our White Cat Society is definitely stronger than others. We have a common room that can block the prying of Intelligent Beings. We've also found quite a few loopholes, for example, you can stay overnight in the school without being punished the next day, and you can also skip classes and walk around the campus freely!"

So these were the loopholes? Lu Xing had thought they were programming loopholes.

He was actually quite interested in the White Cat Society, but now was not the time to interact with humans.

After all, he was operating as Jiang Xuannv, and whatever he did had to be with her consent.

"Let's talk in three days."

After leaving that sentence, Lu Xing arrived at the school gate. More than ten school buses were already waiting. Lu Xing didn't need to search; he just asked the Smart Hairpin and knew which bus he should take.

Three days later.

Newbie Experience Quest Two completed. Quest Reward: 700 experience points.

Relying on the Smart Hairpin left by Jiang Xuannv, Lu Xing finally successfully completed the newbie quest of spending three days in the virtual world, only losing ninety points.

After falling asleep on the third night, when Lu Xing woke up and opened his eyes again, he found himself squatting on the grass behind the school cafeteria, holding a wooden stick and poking an ant nest, with a few ants crawling up the stick onto his hand.

Before Lu Xing could shake off the ants, a pleasant female voice came from behind him: "Lu Xing, quickly throw away the stick, the ants will bite! It hurts a lot!"

"..."

What was with that tone of coaxing a child?

Lu Xing threw away the stick, clapped his hands, and turned to look at the tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful CEO with a face that suggested national prosperity and peace. He asked her, "What's going on?"

Xiao Yu was stunned, and it took her a moment to react. She covered her mouth with her slender white hand and chuckled, "You're back? Not playing with ants anymore?"

Given Xiao Yu's tall, fair figure and outstanding appearance, plus the strange sight of a university student who was 1.8 meters tall squatting on the ground looking at an ant nest, many students around had already stopped to watch. Lu Xing's face flushed, and he quickly pulled Xiao Yu away.

Seeing him holding the hand of the beautiful woman, many boys showed disappointed expressions. Their intention to strike up a conversation with the senior sister disappeared, and they dispersed one after another.

Xiao Yu was pulled along by his hand, a smile still playing on her fair face. It wasn't until they reached a less crowded grove that Lu Xing let go. He looked at her speechlessly and asked, "What happened just now?"

"You don't remember? You were watching ants and even tried to poke the anthill with a stick!"

Xiao Yu explained earnestly.

If she weren't his girlfriend, Lu Xing would have really wanted to flick her forehead with his finger. Now, he could only do it to himself the next time he turned into her.

Lu Xing sighed, "I originally wanted to tell you some interesting things about the Future World, but I see you can't even distinguish between me and Jiang Xuannv, so forget it."

He turned to leave after speaking.

"So stingy, I was just joking with you."

Xiao Yu called out to him with a smile. They walked in the grove, and she told him what had happened today.

She knew that after Lu Xing turned into Jiang Xuannv, he quickly came to Hai City University and met the Lu Xing who had turned into Jiang Xuannv downstairs at the dormitory building.

"Honestly,"

Xiao Yu chuckled softly, "If I hadn't experienced yesterday, I would have suspected you were schizophrenic!"

Lu Xing spread his hands.

Xiao Yu tucked away a strand of hair blown by the wind, looked at him a few times, and said with a smile, "She was very calm. She first asked me if this was the human world, and then asked if she could walk around freely here and do whatever she wanted. I quickly told her not to do anything illegal. She wanted to see the laws and regulations here, said 'link to the network' to the air, and even tried three times before giving up."

Lu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Her world is a virtual world, and even if it wasn't, future humans can access the internet anytime."

"Ah?"

"It's a long explanation, you go ahead and tell me first."

Lu Xing said.

Xiao Yu then continued, "Seeing that she didn't have a phone, I told her to go upstairs and get it, then sit down and teach her how to use the internet. Then I found out you couldn't tap the screen, couldn't type, couldn't click on apps, and even had to learn Pinyin on the spot."

"In the Future World, they access the internet with their minds, so not knowing how to type is normal," Lu Xing explained. "As for Pinyin, it's probably because they have chips implanted from birth and recognize characters directly."

After all, he had lived in the Future World for three days, and he could understand why Jiang Xuannv behaved in many ways.

"Incredible."

Xiao Yu's tone turned to one of awe, "She learns things very quickly. She learned all the operations in one go, and when learning Pinyin, she could apply what she learned to new situations, quickly becoming able to type and go online. Then the first thing she did was look at the Chinese Constitution, then downloaded the Criminal Law and Civil Law, and started studying them seriously."

By the end of her sentence, she couldn't help but laugh herself, seemingly finding it amusing that a sixteen-year-old girl was seriously studying law, and with Lu Xing's appearance at that.

Lu Xing, however, couldn't laugh. He sighed, "You have to understand, in a world where you get points deducted for zoning out in class, it's just that ridiculous."

"Did you get points deducted for zoning out in class for Jiang Xuannv?" Xiao Yu asked him.

Lu Xing nodded, "Keep telling me what happened."

"I bought her breakfast. After she finished eating, she pointed to your lower abdomen and said her stomach felt strange. I asked you for a long time before I understood that you wanted to go to the bathroom."

Xiao Yu started laughing again.

Lu Xing wanted to flick her forehead again, "Stop saying 'you' and 'her', pay attention to the pronouns! It's Jiang Xuannv, not me!"

"I know, I know, I know!"

Xiao Yu suppressed her laughter, "She lives in a virtual world and never goes to the bathroom, I know that!"

It would be funny if Lu Xing didn't know how to use the bathroom.

After suppressing her laughter, Xiao Yu continued, "I had no choice but to call your classmate down and have him take you, no, take Jiang Xuannv back to the dormitory to the bathroom."

Lu Xing's heart sank. It's over. Qi Wenyu must suspect he's having another episode. Maybe he's already making an appointment with a psychiatrist for him!
