Chapter 293: Plastic Bags

The students were surprised at how sh it wasn’t ‘small’ by conventional standards, compared to its bulks it was less than anticipated Several metallic chairs had been added – recently, by the look of things – in the center of the bridge

“It looks so big outside Why’s it so sht?” Tang Xiao muttered inquisitively to hi Where do you think a ‘lounge’ is, eh? This sorts of ships only have a cockpit, this is where the crew rests and works There’s nothing else The rest of the bulk must be the ship’s propulsion systems and weaponry Look at the weapons panel there, it’s h firepower to take on a fleet You’ll need at least four crew members to run all the weapons at once For a nor on aXiao listened with rapt attention, and looked at his fellow Disciple with amazement “Jin Tao, how do you know so much?”

Dumb-mutt beamed with pride “I may not be the best student, but I’ve loved airships since I was a little kid I read all about thes”

By now everyone was on board and in the bridge Aside fro man, not much older than the students who stared at him Clad in sweat pants and a t-shirt, with the stick of a lollipop jutting from his lips, he seemed well at ease He raised his eyes fro men and women, then went back to work

It was no surprise that these hter ship The ht up Soe they had about airships, after all it wasn’t just Jin Tao who had a passion

There was a flash of light, then Lan Jue, Mika and Xiuxiu appeared on the bridge

“Silence!” Lan Jue’s august voice co people ell trained, for they i their Drill to our rank orders, and fasten your seat belts Accountant, alert the toe’re ready for takeoff”

The lazy-looking esture to Lan Jue

Indeed it was the Accountant piloting Zeus-1 today He’d actually approached Lan Jue the night before he’d returned to West Hill with a simple request – he wanted to run away

Ever since the arrival of the Bookwor insane Previously there had only been one crotchety old bastard intent on ruining his life Once he’d finally got used to that hell, a second hateful geriatric showed up

Before the Bookwor as e as possible to the Accountant He kneell that if he failed in his endeavors to prolong his life and reach Paragon status, he didn’t want all he’d learned to go to waste 1

The Keeper, natural, did not disapprove The Bookworm had many students, but there were only a very select few he chose to pass on the entirety of his knowledge, as a disciple Most students only learned a infinitismal part of what he knew

The Bookas also particularly interested in the Accountant’s Discipline So his collusion with the Keeper was more of a conspiracy to create a sort of science and tech super-scholar

At long last the Bookwor only the Keeper to look after the Accountant during his studies It was now or never, his opportunity for freedom had arrived

Lan Jue still felt like he owed the Accountant after Lir, and so he went in secret to the Keeper to plead the young man’s case The old pedant did not object, and left hio without purpose, however To use Lan Jue’s words, he was to ‘ation was temporarily under the Accounts purvie At any rate, the young pervert was just glad for the opportunity

The students sat in accordance with their rank order The furniture was set so that there was only half a centiether with each slight movement Comfort as not a consideration

Once settled, they tried to look every which way at once with eager eyes A lot of the desperate fear that followed them dispersed No ot to travel to another planet for their training That was pretty sweet

Lan Jue strode to the front, and addressed his students in a calreed that two h ti will end It will ned up for You will have ten minutes to tell your family, and tell the here will have a special training protocol designed just for the with those alh to inspire some students to tears Xiuxiu and Mika walked handed out communicators, and olden-masked Drillmaster stood before them and watched in silence
