Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Life Ain't Easy, Sushang's Gotta Perform!

Although he didn't understand why Silver Wolf insisted on going shopping with him, even changing her appearance, Chu Ze wasn't that busy, so he didn't refuse.

Currently, he had two items on his to-do list.

One was to handle the starship's port entry procedures and bind his pilot's license.

The other was to find a few strong guys to participate in the cultural gala on behalf of the Taiyan Division.

After these two things were done, and after the 'Xianzhou Cultural Exchange Gala' was over, he could apply for a long leave to go to the Azure Star.

"Then let's go to the Realm-Keeping Commission's administrative hall first and get the entry procedures done."

Chu Ze got on his small electric scooter and motioned for Silver Wolf to sit behind him.

After putting on his helmet, he sharply twisted the throttle and did a launch start:

"Sit tight and hold on, Dad's about to accelerate!"

"You've already accelerated! Say that before you twist the throttle next time!"

Driven by inertia, Silver Wolf almost fell off the back seat.

Thanks to her timely grabbing of Chu Ze's clothes, she barely managed to stabilize herself.

The breeze blew across her cheeks.

Looking at the receding streetscape of the Xianzhou and breathing in the faint, pleasant scent from Chu Ze, Silver Wolf closed her eyes slightly, and her body couldn't help but relax.

The world of games was certainly exciting.

But occasionally going for a ride with a friend, this feeling seemed pretty good too...

...

...

Meanwhile, somewhere on the Azure Star.

Herta, wearing her pointy hat, was looking down at her phone, manipulating something.

A moment later, she finally looked up:

"Done. With this, my Herta-VII is officially sent off."

"Besides the starship itself, I also stuffed some other things inside. I hope that guy finds them useful."

Beside her, Ruan Mei, while enjoying a plum blossom cake, stood by her side:

"Is it still that blind date from last time?"

"Mhm, it's him." Herta didn't hide it.

Ruan Mei immediately showed a thoughtful look.

According to her observation, when Herta was chatting online just now, the corner of her mouth had risen by about 0.5 degrees, and she had experienced a rare emotional fluctuation.

This was certainly not love; she couldn't even imagine Herta falling in love.

But for Herta to have such a reaction meant that the young boy held a significant place in her heart, at least enough to be called a [friend].

"Could this little boy be the white moonlight she once mentioned?"

Ruan Mei was still nibbling on her plum blossom cake.

But in her pure eyes, a gleam of curiosity was now shining...

...

...

"Respected Master Chu Ze, all your relevant procedures have been completed. All the related documents are here."

At the Realm-Keeping Commission's administrative hall window.

The nervous counter staff bowed deeply and handed the documents out with both hands.

Chu Ze, while putting them away, said with some helplessness: "I'm just here to get a document, you don't need to be so nervous. Please sit down and rest."

The staff shook his head repeatedly:

"You personally graced the administrative hall with your presence, taking the trouble to guide our work. You haven't even sat down to rest after working so hard."

"We interns, what right do we have to complain about being tired?"

"You... ah, forget it."

Chu Ze waved his hand and didn't explain further.

After all, he was a young intern. Faced with a high-ranking leader like him, it was inevitable that he would be overly nervous.

Next time, he should probably pick a more mature staff member to handle his business. Although they would still be respectful, they wouldn't be so overly reserved.

"Please take care, and welcome back next time."

Amidst the staff's respectful voice, Chu Ze and Silver Wolf walked out of the hall.

Silver Wolf also finally couldn't help but complain:

"To be respected wherever you go, and to have everyone you meet kowtow to you, is this the benefit of being a high-ranking official?"

"...There's no kowtowing, do you think this is the Water Margin?"

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes:

"And this time, it's just that I forgot to change my clothes and was running around in my secretary uniform. Anyone with a bit of sense can tell my identity."

"Now that I've changed my uniform, I shouldn't be so conspicuous."

Changing appearance at will was also thanks to the ability of Aether Editing.

Even Chu Ze couldn't help but marvel multiple times.

Silver Wolf is so useful, hiss haa.

"Is there anywhere you want to go next?"

Having finished the official business, Chu Ze looked at Silver Wolf beside him.

Silver Wolf tilted her head and met his gaze: "What about you? What was your original plan?"

Chu Ze flexed his arm: "Of course, it's to work out. If you're interested, I can be your fitness coach."

"Eh... no thanks..."

Silver Wolf, while kicking a small stone on the roadside, was thinking about what else she could drag this guy to do.

They couldn't just part ways like this, right?

Although teleporting to Chu Ze's bedroom was easier than taking out the trash, it was still a shared shopping experience.

But just as the two of them, having forgotten about the electric scooter, were walking through the evening market street, a series of shouts suddenly came from not far away.

"The rocket roars and soars, a golden light explodes across the clouds!"

"Big brother's wealth shakes the Xianzhou, his boundless spirit rushes forth!"

"Thank you, big brother [Real-Name Surfer], for the super rocket!"

"Wishing big brother wealth every year and prosperity every season!"

The incredibly clear chant made both Chu Ze and Silver Wolf cast curious glances.

In an empty, undisturbed space in a nearby alley, the famous Xianzhou talent streamer Guinaifen was facing the camera, cheering on Sushang in the center:

"Come on, Shangshang, show everyone a trick!"

Sushang secretly gathered her energy, suddenly pushed off with her legs, and began to flip in the air:

"Go! Ignore! Ignore!"

"? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ?? ? ? ?? ? ?"

She wasn't just doing a few flips; she was continuously flipping.

And you could see the thick weight bags tied to her calves.

With Sushang's performance, the donations in Little Gui's live stream room increased significantly.

But she herself, as she flipped, gradually became exhausted:

"Little Gui, is it about time? I've already done over a hundred... a hundred flips..."

Guinaifen, while beating a gong and drum, secretly whispered to Sushang:

"If you really can't hold on, then just stop. But the big brothers and sisters have been donating continuously, we've already made tens of thousands."

"Then... then I'll hold on... for a little longer..."

As time went by, Sushang's eyes had turned into spiraling circles, and the direction of her flips gradually deviated from the empty space.

For a Cloud Knight recruit, doing continuous backflips with weights on both legs was a great test of balance.

To be able to do this was already a testament to Sushang's strong foundation from practicing martial arts since childhood.

And just as Guinaifen felt sorry for her friend and was about to forcibly stop her, Sushang lost her balance on a flip, fell towards the side, and bumped right into Chu Ze's chest.

"Ouch... what kind of rock is this..."

The dizzy Sushang thought she had hit a hard rock.

Guinaifen, however, quickly ran over and repeatedly apologized to Chu Ze:

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it was our performance mistake, we accidentally bumped into you."

"It's fine, it's fine."

Chu Ze waved his hand magnanimously:

"But Sushang, you're really going all out. I've never seen you work so hard in training."

Huh? An acquaintance of Shangshang?

Guinaifen looked at Chu Ze curiously.

And Sushang, still dizzy, replied:

"Life ain't easy, Shangshang's gotta perform. The prices on the Luofu are so high, I can only develop a side hustle with Little Gui... wait, that voice!"

She quickly rubbed her eyes, forcing her vision to recover.

After seeing the familiar face, Sushang let out a mournful cry, her face flushing red as she stood at attention:

"Good day, Officer Chu Ze! Former Yaoqing recruit, current Luofu Cloud Knight Sushang, reporting!"
