The Ger Is A Part Timer [BL]

~ 40 ~

Fortunately, the results were already hacked and modified by Yu Yan to automatically adjust his stats before the data from the pods was merged into the academy's central system and then to the Brain. He wasn't sure how but it seems everyone in their dorm except for Chen WangZhi and Sylven were either modifying or masking their real stats.

In that sense, he was lucky that virtual pod networks were isolated between local planetary systems and had an outdated data synchronization system compared to the faster and intergalactically accessible star net.

Yu Yan saw Fernis coming out of the pod last, then directly scrolling into his terminal with his usual expressionless face.

Fernis is looking at his terminal as if it owed him money again.

Yu Yan communicated with the rest of the team with his eyes. Sylven lips' twitched, nearly smiling while Gazef blinked in code right back spelling—

C. O. N. S. T. I. P. A. T. E. D.

"Pft—"

Fernis glanced at them with squinted eyes like that of a hunter and everyone stilled, except for the nauseated Chen WangZhi.

Unknowingly, Yu Yan's right hand was squishing Gazef's cheeks, whilst thinking that fortunately, Gazef didn't end up with facial paralysis like Fernis. He blinked whilst whispering, "You're lucky, Gazef. Imagine having the same expression as Fernis? Paralysis wouldn't even make a difference."

Instead of answering, Gazef held Yu Yan's wrist, drawing the latter's attention to his arm. Now that he thinks about it, wasn't the Nurdyk anatomy different from that of an Alhoshian? Some physiological processes may be similar but exactly where does it differ? How do they control all four upper limbs? What does their nervous system look like?

Fueled by his curiosity, Yu Yan was itching to ask Gazef how he could hide his distal arms. Compared to Alhoshian people, Nurdyk people have two pairs of arms, the upper pair called proximal arms and the lower pair called distal arms based on Nurdyk anatomy references he snatched away through hacking the Nurdyk net.

Yu Yan wanted to know how Gazef was able to hide his own blood and genes, enough to infiltrate the heart of the Capital and the most prestigious school. He also wanted to ask Gazef how he has spiritual power despite being a pure-blooded Nurdyk, and a royal at that, but this was not the place to do so. Quiet as they may look, but sometimes walls had their ears and eyes of their own.

(A/N: 隔墙有耳 (gé qiáng yǒu ěr) – "The wall has ears" meaning that there may be spies or eavesdroppers nearby. In this case, the current era had a lot of technological advancements so Yu Yan thinks that private conversations might not be as private as one thinks, e.g. cctvs and bugs.)

Yu Yan backlogged his questions for the moment as he saw Fernis calling them all over with the imminent purpose of discussing their training routine.

After a round of criticisms and discussions, and a thoroughly roasted Chen WangZhi, Gazef prompted to dismiss early, to which Fernis didn't contest. He checked something once more on his terminal.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd have asked if you have a lover, Fernis", Yu Yan teased, eyeing the other's terminal screen despite not being able to see anything due to its private mode settings.

Chen WangZhi nearly choked at the foreign word 'lover', but fortunately for him, Yu Yan wasn't paying much attention to him enough to tease him. Sylven kindly patted his back, making his Wang Ge more red and flustered.

Fernis had rolled his eyes at Yu Yan's statement. At the same time, their terminals alerted one by one as just as Fernis put down his—

Ping!
