Chapter 14
Seeing Fu Yue’s bewildered eyes and flushed face, it reminded Arnold of the mermaid incident from a couple of days ago. So he asked 1086, "Is she under some sort of spell?"
[Currently without scanning tools, it is impossible to determine Fu Yue’s specific condition. However, based on the video footage here, the system judges that she is in a drunken state due to excessive consumption of secret fruit wine, leading to intoxication.]
"What is intoxication?"
[Intoxication refers to the altered consciousness and abnormal excitement that occurs after drinking alcohol. Unlike your body’s strong detoxifying abilities, the Blue Star people, to which Fu Yue belongs, do not have good resistance to this.]
The body is fragile and troublesome.
"When we return, we will add a detox function to enhance the body in Fu Yue’s body inside the nutrient capsule."
[Order received.]
"Also," Arnold puzzled, "I don’t have any odor on me, why am I called ‘Stinky Arnold’ by the Blue Star people?"
Arnold felt a little offended by Fu Yue’s mention of "Stinky Arnold" just now.
The interstellar advanced artificial intelligence 1086 briefly stalled on this issue, searched through all data on the network, and finally found a relatively reasonable explanation.
[It’s possible that the odor perception of Blue Star people is different from that of Kurds. What you consider odorless, may be an unpleasant smell to the Blue Star people.]
"Maybe I picked up some irritating smell at the banquet." Arnold recalled the details of the banquet, trying to find some clues. But evidently, the aggressive Blue Star people on his hands didn’t want to give him that chance.
"Quick, give me the hoverboard, I want to hover!" Fu Yue persistently insisted to Arnold.
But with only this slight touch, it didn’t feel different from scratching an itch. That’s why Arnold, who was interrupted, didn’t resist at all, he just used one hand to open the spaceship’s door.
While not fully awake, Fu Yue suddenly felt guilty and realized that in front of her was just a silent piece of wood, so she stopped bothering it.
Did she really just lower her intelligence and hit a piece of wood? Thinking that she was being silly, Fu Yue casually waved her hand towards the wood, signaling it to leave her line of sight.
Ouch, this wood is so hard, my hand hurts from waving at it.
She tenderly touched her small hand and looked around for some bandages to wrap it.
She couldn’t find any bandages after looking around, but she found something even more exciting. So she proudly declared to the wood, "I don’t need you anymore, I’m floating in the air now, and my hoverboard is already prepared!"
Arnold, with his hands forced to act as a hoverboard, said, "We are getting on the spaceship."
Saying that, he took big steps into the spaceship. He had just thought about putting the strange Fu Yue in the back waiting room, but even when he loosened his grip, his pet in his arms didn’t want to let go.
Fu Yue was seen hugging Arnold’s neck with both hands, and her legs were tightly wrapped around his waist. Despite struggling due to gravity, she was almost unable to hold on, and her legs were gradually slipping off Arnold’s body.
But Fu Yue still had a smile on her face and said, "Even though a storm is coming, as long as I hold onto this piece of wood, I will never drown in this sea!"
Arnold, feeling moved, tried to tear off the piece of wood that Fu Yue was holding onto, but as he pulled harder, he heard cries like "Ouch" and "It hurts so much" coming from her. Arnold frowned and decided to put his hand back.
After a moment of silence, he finally decided to hold onto Fu Yue’s hips and brought her to the cockpit.
The cockpit was very spacious. Once Arnold sat down, Fu Yue could finally rest her feet on the soft seat behind him. After the difficult climb, her feet could finally relax, and Fu Yue let out a sigh of relief, quieting down for a moment.
Looking at the excited little pet, Arnold felt that dealing with it was even harder than dealing with the guests at a banquet. Worried about what she might do next, he immediately started the spaceship and moved 1086 to the spaceship, activating the semi-automatic driving mode.
As expected, Fu Yue revived after resting for more than ten minutes. This time, she didn’t mistake him for a piece of driftwood.
Initially, Fu Yue reached out her hand to create some distance between her and Arnold. However, she didn’t realize that her legs were still tightly bound to Arnold, causing her body’s center of gravity to shift backward.
Happily stretching out her arms, Fu Yue was ready to feel the cool floor of the cockpit. But Arnold quickly caught her head, moving her back onto himself.
Suddenly having her own plans canceled and leaning against a hard surface made Fu Yue very unsatisfied. She wanted to figure out what was blocking her path.
So her two hands moved up the volcano’s curves and reached a rugged area.
Fu Yue, with her sleepy hands, felt around and discovered that the road looked like a face with a nose and eyes. Then her ten fingers started playing on it.
After playing for a while, Fu Yue felt a bit bored. The road was too lazy to even have tectonic movements.
However, while the road was lazy, she was determined to be responsible. So Fu Yue stood up energetically and focused on this land.
It was all white, hard to see.
It’s okay!
After a hiccup, Fu Yue hugged the land and pressed her face against it.
Face to face, nose to nose, she stared at it, but suddenly the spaceship tilted to the left due to improper operation.
Fu Yue stumbled and almost fell over because of this.
Thinking it was the shaking from the mainland that caused the swaying, Fu Yue immediately gave the order, "Don’t move!"
Poor Arnold was really misunderstood. Even if Fu Yue didn’t give that order, Arnold couldn’t do anything else but stiffly support the other person at that moment.
As Fu Yue’s face came closer, Arnold looked into the eyes that were so close, forgetting all about the spacecraft. He moved his hand unconsciously due to the shock, causing the spacecraft to veer off course.
Finally waking up from the intense shaking, he immediately gave orders to 1086, "Switch to autopilot, lock all buttons in the cockpit."
[Successful.] Amidst the tension, Arnold also couldn’t understand why a similar action he had done before had such a strong impact on him this time after the switch.
Fu Yue didn’t know about Arnold’s question, as she was undeniably happy now, having finally seen what the mainland looked like clearly. With a little discernment, she made her own judgment.
"This mainland… it’s so beautiful!" Fu Yue’s tone was full of surprise. "Wow, the eyes are red, such rare and beautiful eyes!"
"…Why is the temperature of the mainland getting hotter?"
Fu Yue rested her head against this piece of land, rubbing it continuously with her hands, feeling the warmth coming from it, trying to transform into a geologist to find out the reason for this sudden change in the land.
Arnold, "…" The strong scent of pheromones emanating from the small pet, the warmth of breath on his nose, the feeling of her touch on his face, and her close gaze and voice made Arnold feel like he was surrounded by her alone.
His reaction was a sudden spike in body temperature, making his heartbeat irregular. He simply watched Fu Yue’s mouth moving without truly understanding the meaning behind her words.
Could this be a special weapon carried by the Blue Star people themselves, causing such powerful side effects on his body? Could their first-level civilization identity be a sham, hiding a deeper secret? Otherwise, he could not explain the current situation to himself.
But maybe 1086 could.
[Detecting your abnormally excited emotional state. It consists of 50% confusion, 20% panic, 20% infatuation, and 10% other unknown feelings. Congratulations, you have now experienced the initial stage of feeling helpless.] At this moment, Arnold had to admit that the Blue Star people had a strong influence on emotions and arousal. It was unexpected that this seemingly unremarkable first-level civilization possessed certain characteristics that even third-level civilizations did not have.
Blushing in silence for a moment, Arnold reexamined the ferocious beast before him and ordered, "Cancel the previous nutrient chamber plan; I need to preserve the intoxication state of the Blue Star people entirely."
[Cancelled.] [The spaceship has successfully returned to Astronaut Star, the hatchway is open, please exit.] Is it finally over?
Upon hearing this news, Arnold quickly lifted Fu Yue and stepped off the spaceship in large strides. After forcefully placing Fu Yue down on the ground, he said, "I am heading back to the office first." Without even looking back, he immediately took big steps as if trying to escape from the place.
After just a few steps, 1086’s warning sound rang in his mind again.
[Warning! Warning! The monitor detected Fu Yue heading towards the rainforest area, please take immediate action!]
Arnold stopped walking and thought to himself, "This entire planet only has animals and plants with a danger level of F, there can’t be any danger here."
[These standards are based on being part of the Zerg tribe, but for Fu Yue’s Blue Star people, this is a dangerous forest with a danger level of SS. Many of the animals and plants here pose lethal threats to her.]
Upon hearing this, Arnold immediately turned around and saw Fu Yue stumbling ahead. He quickly caught up to his little pet in just a few steps.
