Chapter 1348: Chapter 1257: Interstellar Life 28

This method of selecting partners is actually quite similar to drawing lots. First, the names of all the students from the schools are divided into four rows, which then quickly scroll on the virtual screen, and the stop is manually controlled.

When the names on the virtual screen stop scrolling, the four names appearing side by side are the future teammates in the same team.

Each team has a number representing it, and Pei Shuangshuang’s personal terminal quickly sent the lottery result, revealing the names of her four partners and the team number.

The number of Pei Shuangshuang’s team is relatively ahead, it is team 78, and besides Pei Shuangshuang, there are one female and two males; the female is Chu Xinqiong, and one male is Liang Xuan.

The last name was obscured, so Pei Shuangshuang adjusted the virtual screen to reveal it completely. Upon seeing the name clearly, her eyes involuntarily widened in surprise.

Because the name turned out to be Chi Ruiqiu!

Initially, Pei Shuangshuang thought she had met someone with the same name, and she specifically checked the details. It was indeed Chi Ruiqiu from the Imperial First Academy, without a doubt.

Pei Shuangshuang didn’t know what kind of luck this was; originally, Chi Ruiqiu planned to spend effort arranging for their teams to cooperate, but now they were suddenly drawn into the same team.

Besides teammate details and team number, her personal terminal also displayed the gathering area for team members, indicating the location as Square 15, along with a map showing directions.

This practical exercise involves a total of three hundred schools, a massively large population, requiring the use of three hundred venues.

Such a large number of venues obviously cannot be built in a single area, but are divided into twenty regions, each with fifteen venues and a huge square.

Pei Shuangshuang did not know where Square 15 was, so she directly clicked on the map, and a yellow cursor arrow appeared out of thin air in front of her, pointing forward.

Pei Shuangshuang followed the arrow, leaving the square where she was, and passed through two crowded squares before finally arriving at Square 15.

At this moment, the sky above Square 15 was filled with a dense array of virtual arrows, with people below following the guiding arrows to meet their partners. Pei Shuangshuang squeezed in following the arrows, navigating left and right.

Eventually, the arrow directed Pei Shuangshuang to a stone pillar and disappeared, indicating she had arrived at the destination, and navigation was complete.

Although Pei Shuangshuang walked fast, she was not the first to arrive; the first was Chi Ruiqiu.

The venue of Chi Ruiqiu’s school was right at Square 15, the closest, which is why he arrived quickly.

Seeing Pei Shuangshuang, Chi Ruiqiu smiled and said to her: "I really didn’t expect my luck to be so good this time, that we would be assigned to the same team.

I was thinking of finding a way for us to team up, but now there’s no need to worry about how to meet, just hoping the other two companions are nice and easy to get along with."

"Whether they’re easy to get along with, we’ll know when we meet," Pei Shuangshuang wasn’t concerned about Chi Ruiqiu’s worries. As she said before, she was strong enough not to fear being held back.

While speaking, the other two prospective teammates, guided by the arrows, arrived in front of the duo, and their appearances made Pei Shuangshuang’s eyes shine.

Chu Xinqiong’s appearance was sweet and pleasant, with a touch of playfulness in her delicacy, her lips curled up in a natural smile.

Liang Xuan’s appearance was similarly handsome, but unlike Chi Ruiqiu’s cool and distant beauty, Liang Xuan’s was warm and gentle, inviting trust.

From appearance and temperament, Liang Xuan and Chu Xinqiong seemed easy to get along with, while Chi Ruiqiu’s cool demeanor seemed difficult to relate to.

After the four met, the first to speak was indeed Chu Xinqiong, who smiled and sized up Pei Shuangshuang, Chi Ruiqiu, and Liang Xuan, full of interest.

"You must be my teammates? I didn’t expect my luck to be so good; my team is all handsome men and beautiful women, quite pleasing to the eye."

Chu Xinqiong was quite adept at speaking, and with her lead, everyone introduced themselves, then gathered to chat casually, mainly to familiarize themselves and ease the sense of strangeness.

In the meantime, they waited for the next instructions. Soon, everyone’s personal terminals rang, announcing the arrival of the next task directives.

The next requirement was for everyone to head to the hover train in the middle of the square, queue up to board the hover train, and go to the first venue for the practical exercise.

The hover train was large and conspicuous on the square, and everyone saw it upon arrival. Now, seeing the instructions, they headed over and soon boarded the train.

This hover train directly transported everyone to a local space station, where everyone disembarked according to instructions, and entered the already arranged Cosmic Ship.

Watching the nebula outside the Cosmic Ship, Pei Shuangshuang said to Chi Ruiqiu, Liang Xuan, and Chu Xinqiong: "It seems this first assessment venue might be on an F-series planet."

Under the Federation’s realm, there were countless planets useful to humans. If each planet were given a name, managing them would be chaotic.

Thus, the Federation classified these planets by type, using letters as prefixes and numbers for subsequent numbering.

The letter represents the type of planet, and the numbers signify the planet’s quantity and its ranking.

Planet names starting with N are for special species or Origin planets, like those inhabited by the Butterfly Spirit Clan, Mermaid Clan, Tree-man Clan.

Planets starting with A are Agricultural planets cultivated with crops, like Pei Shuangshuang’s birth planet, Planet A7962.

Planets starting with B are commercial planets, among the most prosperous types.

Planets starting with C are industrial planets, usually using less inhabitable planets as industrial ones.

Since industry often involves pollution, even with strong pollution control in the interstellar era, it’s unavoidable. The Federation mandates no pollution on non-industrial planets.

Planets starting with D are entirely tourism planets, rivaling commercial planets in prosperity.

Planets starting with E are the most habitable, ideal for human residence when weary, retired, or convalescing.

Planets starting with Z are resource planets, which may not sustain human life but offer necessary resources.
