Xu Tian looked at the NPCs' shocked expressions, as if they had never seen anything like this before, and was about to say a few words to comfort them when he suddenly glanced at the back of the group and noticed two familiar figures.

It was during their first meeting that he met Ruoxue, his inseparable gaming girlfriend.

Xu Tian was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Chu Jian with a puzzled expression.

Feeling Xu Tian's scrutinizing gaze, Chu Jian awkwardly scratched his head, quickly took two steps forward, and explained in a low voice.

"Hey, Brother Tian, ​​I originally planned to wait until your lessons were over before I would bring Xuexue for a spin through the back door, but when I mentioned it in the territory just now, Xuexue thought that driving a starship was really cool, and she wanted to learn how to operate it too, so I brought her along as well."

At this moment, Ruoxue was looking around with a curious expression, her eyes sparkling with excitement, just like a little girl visiting an amusement park for the first time.

Xu Tian watched this scene and was speechless.

He was internally ranting and raving.

You've turned a perfectly good hardcore StarCraft and Conquest game into a space-themed dating simulator, haven't you?

Are you really treating this multi-million dollar destroyer as your date car?

However, since everyone was already there, Xu Tian couldn't very well refuse his brother at this time.

"Fine, learn if you want."

Xu Tian pointed to a row of seats not far away and said to Chu Jian.

"Her position will be next to the fire control system you used to be in charge of. Since you brought her in, you will personally teach her how to fire the cannon later."

"Yes, thank you, Brother Tian."

Overjoyed at the first sight, he pulled Ruoxue and headed towards the fire control console.

Ruoxue was also very happy and thanked Xu Tian repeatedly.

After dealing with this minor incident, Xu Tian turned around, his expression becoming serious.

He looked at the group of NPCs who were still in a daze and clapped his hands heavily.

"Crack! Crack!"

A burst of applause echoed in the driver's cab, pulling everyone back to reality from their shock.

"Everyone snapped out of it."

Xu Tian's authoritative voice rang out.

"This is not a divine kingdom, this is your lord's warship. Now, everyone, go to your respective seats and pick up the glowing book on the table."

Upon hearing this, the fifty young people immediately suppressed their shock, like soldiers hearing a bugle call to charge, and quickly dispersed to their respective workstations, carefully picking up the "Operating Instructions" book.

"Open it and carefully examine the contents. You not only need to learn the function of each button and lever, but you will also need to serve as instructors to teach more indigenous people in the territory. Understand?"

Xu Tian shouted loudly.

"Understood, I will fulfill your request, my lord, even at the cost of my life."

Everyone shouted in unison, and then immediately lowered their heads and began to frantically study the manual like sponges absorbing water.

Over the next period of time, the entire cockpit transformed into a large interstellar driving school.

Xu Tian and Feng Xue transformed into strict instructors, moving between the various control panels to explain the obscure mechanical logic and correct their misoperations.

However, the scene in the other corner of the hall was completely different.

Chu Jian was standing right next to Ruo Xuexue, their faces almost touching.

At their first meeting, he held Ruoxue's hand and placed it on the red ignition lever, his voice gentle.

"Xuexue, look, this knob is used to adjust the elevation angle of the particle cannon. Turning it left is down, and turning it right is up. When the radar locks onto the target and the red light comes on, just like I am, press it down hard..."

"Wow, I get it, I get it. You're really amazing when we first meet."

Ruoxue looked at him with admiration.

Time passed by, second by second.

As the teaching progressed, the tedious explanations quickly drained Xu Tian's already dwindling energy.

He felt his upper and lower eyelids were heavy, so heavy that they might close at any moment.

My brain even started to feel dizzy.

He glanced at the time; it was already 3 a.m. in reality.

Just when Xu Tian was about to give up, he turned his head and glanced at Chu Jian in the corner.

Not only was the boy not sleepy at all, but he was also full of energy, teaching Ruoxue Xue incessantly. He even performed fancy lock-on techniques on the holographic screen to show off his micro-management skills.

A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Tian's lips.

He thought to himself.

Am I being stupid? Isn't there a perfectly free, energetic laborer right here?

Upon first meeting this guy, he'd definitely refuse to leave, no matter what, just to impress his girlfriend.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

Just as Xu Tian was secretly chuckling to himself and preparing to take action, Qin Fengxue also arrived beside him, her steps unsteady.

She rubbed her temples wearily, glanced at Xu Tian, ​​and then followed his gaze to the couple who were showing off their affection.

With Qin Fengxue's exceptional intelligence, she understood the meaning in Xu Tian's eyes in just one second.

The two didn't even need to exchange any words; with just a glance, they instantly reached a highly tacit consensus: better to die than to die. This mess needs someone to take over.

They composed themselves, then casually walked side by side toward the fire control console, arriving at Chu Jian's side.

Xu Tian coughed twice, patted Chu Jian on the shoulder, and said weakly.

"Oh, it's my first time here. I'm really about to collapse. I can barely keep my eyes open. I need to log off and rest right away. Keep an eye on these fifty NPCs' tutorial quests over here."

Chapter 358 They Ran Away

"If there's anything they don't know or can't understand the blueprints, you should take the time to teach them. This is a starship, and we can't afford to make any mistakes. Don't just chat with your girlfriend; you also need to keep things in mind."

Chu Jian was immersed in the tenderness of the moment when Xu Tian suddenly patted her, and she was immediately stunned.

He turned around, looked at Xu Tian's eyes which were almost closed, and then at Qin Fengxue standing to the side.

"What the hell?"

At first glance, his eyes widened, as if he had realized something.

"Brother Tian, ​​are you two running away? You're just leaving me to teach these dozens of clueless newbies all by myself?"

Upon first seeing her, his face was filled with disbelief. He hurriedly turned his pleading gaze to Qin Fengxue, hoping that this usually reliable vice president would stay and mercifully share some of his burdens.

However, Qin Fengxue shook her head firmly, and said with a hint of apology on her face.

"I'm sorry, Chujian. I was in charge of the overall control and verification today, which took a lot of energy. I'm so tired that I feel like I'm about to collapse. I can only entrust this important task to you."

Chu Jian was immediately flustered and almost jumped off the chair.

"What? Even Sister Xue is leaving? What about me? You all went to sleep, leaving me here to do the hard labor? I stayed up all day yesterday too, okay?"

Xu Tian suppressed a laugh, pointed seriously at Ruo Xuexue sitting next to him, and asked in return.

"Hey, what are you saying? Ruoxue is here with you, isn't she? What, you have the heart to leave her here alone? If you want to leave, fine, let's log off together now, lock the doors of this warship, and let these NPCs fend for themselves here."

At this moment, the understanding Ruoxue noticed the barely concealed weariness in Chujian's eyes.

She gently tugged at Chu Jian's sleeve and said softly with great tenderness.

"Chujian, you've been busy all day yesterday. Why don't you stop teaching and go get some rest? Your health is important. We can learn again tomorrow."

These words were a devastating blow to a man who wanted to demonstrate his strong willpower and abilities to his girlfriend.

My initial hesitation was instantly swelled into an unbreakable balloon by this gentle persuasion.

Men's competitive spirit and desire to perform are amplified to an extreme at this moment.

"No !!!!"

Chu Jian suddenly stood up straight, waved his hand, and shouted loudly and righteously.

“I’m not leaving. How can a man say no? Today, even if I die of exhaustion in this cockpit, even if I suddenly die on this control panel, I will teach you all. It’s just teaching how to build a spaceship, no big deal.”

Seeing Chu Jian's righteous and fearless demeanor, Xu Tian and Qin Fengxue's faces instantly lit up with bright smiles.

"Well said, you truly are the pillar of our All Heavens Guild."

"From our first meeting, I have high hopes for you. Keep it up!"

Before Chu Jian could utter any more grand pronouncements, or even give him time to react, Xu Tian and Qin Fengxue almost simultaneously made a point in the void.

"Shh! Shh!"

Two white lights flashed, and the two people's bodies instantly turned into countless streams of data, disappearing into thin air inside the cockpit.

The speed at which they logged off was so fast, and the decisiveness of their actions, as if they were afraid that if they were even a second late, Chu Jian would stop them.

Watching the two figures disappear without a trace in an instant, Chu Jian's open mouth froze in mid-air, and she was completely stunned on the spot.

"Wow, that's incredibly fast! Didn't they even bother with a polite greeting?"

Upon first meeting, I was speechless with grief, utterly bewildered in the wind.

At this moment, as Xu Tian and Qin Fengxue left, all the NPCs in the huge and quiet warship cockpit turned their gazes toward Chu Jian.

Clara hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, looking at the stiff back of the man she had just met, and asked cautiously.

"Now that we've met you, sir, shall we continue learning? Lord Tianxia and Lord Fengxue have already left. If you are tired, sir..."

Chu Jian slowly turned his head, glanced at the fifty pairs of eager eyes in front of him, and then looked down at Ruoxue Xue, who was sitting next to him, looking at him with eyes full of admiration and concern.

That was a look he simply couldn't refuse.

Chu Jian took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the tens of thousands of galloping alpacas in his heart.

He straightened his back again, forcing a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Learn, why not learn? You must learn it today."

Chu Jian gritted his teeth and said, word by word.

"From this moment on, I am the chief instructor of this warship. If you cannot operate this warship perfectly in your hands, none of you will leave this house today."
