Chapter 384: Chapter 159 Big Barbarian Bear, I Hate You (2nd Update)

“Going home,” these two words sounded incredibly natural.

Now, they had unconsciously developed a strong sense of belonging to the academy.

The Dingchuan Academy group returned home in a hovering transport vehicle, admiring the scenery along the way through the windows.

These youths were feeling the long-missed atmosphere of life, and their hearts began to lively beat in unison.

White Hair’s hands were shaking with excitement.

At last, Mu Fan couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Finally, someone had asked. With tearful eyes, White Hair said, “I’m excited, man. Why are my hands shaking? Because today is the casino’s anniversary, chips are at 1 to 1.1! Will you join me later?”

Mu Fan immediately refused, feeling like he was the only sane one at the moment.

Seeing Mu Fan ignoring him, White Hair immediately started looking for his next target.

Time quietly passed, and soon they arrived at the base.

The moment the vehicle’s door opened, several of them rushed out and knelt on the ground, kissing the land.

“I’m finally back!”

“We are back!”

Watching the excited group of youths, Ruan Xiongfei chuckled to Lin Hao, “I bet these kids are going crazy.”

Lin Hao replied with a smile, “Let them relax for now. We will announce the special training results later. Who knows what expressions they will have when they find out their majors tomorrow.”

Ruan Xiongfei smirked, “I believe they won’t be disappointed. Come on, join me for a drink.”

Then, without allowing for refusal, he grabbed Lin Hao, who only had time to shout, “Free time now, make sure to bring your personal items and process your enrollment at nine o’clock tomorrow morning!” before being forcibly dragged away.

“Oh! Yeaaaaah!”

“Long live!”

“Mu Fan, are you really not considering going to the casino with me? The croupiers there have amazing figures.”

Mu Fan pointed behind him, “Tracy is here.”

“Where? Hello, beautiful sister! Eh, where is she?”

When he turned back around, there was no sign of Mu Fan.

…

Mu Fan entered his personal dorm storage locker; he needed to check his Sky Communication first.

Having disappeared for so many days, there should be people trying to contact him.

After pressing his fingerprint for scanning and turning on the device, a barrage of vibrating messages startled him.

Unread messages: 31.

Missed communications: 69.

Why so many!

He checked carefully and more than half were from Wang Nuonuo. He didn’t know the content of the communications, but most of them were her bragging about where she had gone to play, what delicious food she had eaten that day, with only the most recent messages informing him that the Extreme Special Soldier had been repaired and asking when he would return.

Looking at the most recent call log, a call came in 2 hours ago?

The other part of the messages was from Harry, whom he hadn’t seen in over a month.

The chubby friend told him that he had arrived at Blue Capital Star three days ago and was currently staying in a star-rated hotel in the eastern district, preparing to register for school on opening day. He must have guessed that Mu Fan wouldn’t be able to communicate during the special training phase and didn’t ask why he wasn’t answering the Sky Communication.

Then Mu Fan sorted out another individual message that stood out, a voice message from Bai Guyue.

So Mu Fan clicked on this message first because he suddenly remembered that the time to retrieve the Heart-locking Grass’s Heart Liquid had passed.

Bai Guyue’s signature shy voice came through, and even through the Sky Communication, one could imagine the young girl speaking softly into the device.

“Mu Fan, um… your Heart Liquid has been successfully extracted, and… that man with white hair… his brain area repair agent is also ready. When will you come to pick them up? I’m at the Pharmacist Association.”

After a moment’s thought and remembering today was Wednesday, Mu Fan quickly replied:

“Sorry, I was in a closed training session before, and due to school starting tomorrow, I’ll contact you on the weekend. Thanks. —— Mu Fan”

With those matters handled,

Now he was left with two people to respond to: Wang Nuonuo and Harry.

Both had told him to reply at the first instance, which posed a dilemma for the always honest Mu Fan.

Who should I reply to first?

“Duh, just see who sent the most messages and reply to them first!” Lord Black suddenly appeared, eager to address such queries to highlight the vital role of an intelligent life form.

“Oh, right.”

So, Mu Fan counted very carefully, and Wang Nuonuo emerged victorious with nearly twenty more messages.

Mu Fan immediately pressed the Sky Communication number that represented Wang Nuonuo; ever since it was set up for Mu Fan, Wang Nuonuo had fixed her name at the top of the list.

This didn’t catch the attention of Mu Fan, who wasn’t very particular about electronic products.

Beep, beep…

After five or six rings, the Sky Communication was connected, instantly switching to holographic conversation mode.

Mu Fan faced the collection camera of the Sky Communication, and the image of Wang Nuonuo puffing her cheeks appeared in the three-dimensional projection.

“Nuonuo…”

“Ah! Big Barbarian Bear, you’re back. Let me see, you’ve tanned. You’ve been gone so long; couldn’t you have sent a message on the way?”

Her voice was as crisp as ever, and when she saw Mu Fan’s image, her clear big eyes instantly displayed excitement and happiness.

This time, Mu Fan finally understood why Wang Nuonuo’s cheeks were puffed—it was because she was stuffing her mouth with a ball of ice cream sticky rice balls, and by the looks of it, it seemed to be Miluo-flavored, Mu Fan’s favorite…

So, Mu Fan unconsciously licked his lips.

“Ha-ha-ha, Big Barbarian Bear, are you craving my sticky rice balls? Mmmhm?” Wang Nuonuo playfully twirled a piece of the transparent sticky rice ball skin, swaying it back and forth in front of her.

Mu Fan’s stomach aptly growled in response.

“Pfft—this miss is dying of laughter here. Big Barbarian Bear, where did you go to? What have you been eating all this time?”

“Compression biscuits,” Mu Fan answered honestly.

The 130-liter backpack filled with compressed biscuits had long been eaten up by him; it had all been tasteless energy meals, so the sight of such delectable food made Mu Fan’s stomach instantly enter a state of hunger.

Then another female voice came from off-screen, “Nuonuo, who are you talking to? You seem to be in a good mood, not forgetting to eat delicious food even during interstellar travel.”

“It’s Mu Fan, he’s back. I’m poking fun at him with sticky rice balls; don’t interrupt me~~”

“Oh~~~ okay, okay, I won’t bother you! Miss Wang.”

Instantly a girl’s face appeared on the screen, quickly waving at Mu Fan: “You have no idea how much our Nuonuo has slimmed down during this time. You better think about how you’re going to make it up to our Nuonuo!”

“Ew!” This was Wang Nuonuo’s voice.

After saying that, the girl in the image made a silly face and dashed away, her laughter drifting off into the distance.

That girl was Chuchu. Mu Fan could recognize her, even through a pair of oversized sunglasses.

“Don’t mind her, Chuchu has gone wild with fun this trip. We’re currently on a flight back from Jiuqu Star.”

Wang Nuonuo cutely spoke as she swallowed down the sticky rice ball.

“Mu Fan, according to my precise data analysis, the little chubby girl has actually gained weight; her face is one-twentieth rounder than before.” Black suddenly interrupted, eager to prove the purpose of intelligent life: providing precise data support to their host at all times!

So, Mu Fan scratched his nose awkwardly and muttered softly, “Nuonuo, I feel like your face… seems a tiny bit rounder, probably about… one-twentieth rounder, I guess.”

Just as he finished speaking, Wang Nuonuo’s hand, which was busy stuffing a sticky rice ball into her mouth, suddenly stopped. Her eyes widened, and tears instantly filled the large eyes.

“Big Barbarian Bear, I hate you!”

With a clang, the Sky Communication video call was abruptly ended.

Mu Fan stared blankly at the disconnected screen on the Sky Communication, had he said something wrong?

He still wanted to ask about the situation of the Extreme Special Soldiers and about when school would start… And did she know that Fatty had arrived?

Why did she abruptly end the Sky Communication?

After all, he had only said one sentence…

At this moment, Black maintained absolute silence, giving Mu Fan a moment of private space to ponder.
