Chapter 41
There was a passenger spacecraft that went back and forth like a busy bee between the reception hall and the assessment venue.
Both Xia Fei and Su Ruoyu walked along the boarding aisle together, as Xiao Yu’s family was behind, waving their arms repeatedly as they said their goodbyes.
Xiao Yu was apparently very excited; a very moving smile appeared on her face as she turned back to wave back every few steps.
Since she did not have a spatial ring, Xiao Yu’s adolescent shoulders were carrying a huge mountaineering haversack. It was even much bigger than her frame, and anyone from behind would only see a bag swaying with difficulty.
Xia Fei sighed, “Why don’t you let me carry it?” He took the haversack off Xiao Yu’s shoulder and held it in his hands.
The haversack weighed up to 100 kilograms, but this weight was nothing to Xia Fei. His extended periods of cultivation and training had not only given him supersonic speed, but also the strength that far surpassed an average person.
However, Xiao Yu only just had her 12th birthday. A 12 years old little girl being able to carry that haversack was already a small miracle in itself, not to mention she would still be expected to carry it for the long journey ahead. At her age, girls should be staying at home playing video games and not participating in this sort of assessment where death could happen randomly.
“Thank you!” Xiao Yu used her handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her forehead, smiling sweetly to Xia Fei as she expressed her gratitude.
Pressing the navigation button on their watches, Xia Fei and Xiao Yu walked toward one of the spaceships.
As large as the spaceships were, the corridors inside seemed somewhat narrow and could only accommodate three people passing side by side.
After taking dozens of turns and changing elevators for the third time, Xia Fei and Xiao Yu finally arrived at the cabin floor that they were designated to bunk in.
Were it not for the navigation system, they would have very easily ended up lost in these complex and messy corridors.
Since Xia Fei and Xiao Yu had registered at the same time in the reception hall, they were both assigned the same level, and their rooms were very close to each other.
Xia Fei escorted Xiao Yu into her cabin, and the moment he opened the door, Xia Fei furrowed his brow.
There were two beds in the cabin, and on one of them lay a burly fellow. He was dark-skinned and all muscles, with what seemed like a lion tattooed on his arm. Even the smell of stinky feet was present in the cabin as if they had just stepped into a latrine rather than a cabin.
It seemed like having smelly feet was not just something earthlings had a license for, even aliens were no exceptions.
Hearing someone enter, the burly man did not even turn his head over and continued snoring; the sound of his snores was akin to that of a water buffalo.
Xiao Yu was pinching her nose as she exited the cabin, her movement supple and nimble.
“I’m not going to stay with him! That guy STINKS!” Xiao Yu was fuming.
Xia Fei was not comfortable with letting Xiao Yu share a room with that man either. Though Xiao Yu had just turned twelve, she was still a woman, after all.
“The person in charge of assigning the cabins was too careless. How could they arrange for a little girl to share the same cabin with a grown man?”
A staff member from the Adjudicator Union happened to walk past from a distance, so Xia Fei stopped the man to explain the situation.
The staff member only stayed in the room for a mere second before leaving visibly upset. It seemed like the man had been quite heavily assaulted by the smell from that burly fellow’s stinky feet too.
“I’m aware of this situation, and will immediately arrange for a new room for this candidate,” The staff said very readily.
“Give Xiao Yu a room with another woman. It’s not convenient to have a man and a woman staying together,” Xia Fei added.
“I don’t want that,” Xiao Yu had grabbed hold of Xia Fei’s arm and was already bobbing her head side to side. “I want to stay with big brother Xia Fei.”
