Chapter 216: Chapter 216
Chu River realized that she was still too out of touch.
She was about to ask for guidance, but then saw two older sisters affectionately hook their arms around her shoulders, breathing softly into her ear:
"Little sister, where do you usually watch those exciting things you mentioned?"
The two girls exchanged a glance, the dim bar lighting barely reflecting the blush on their cheeks: "A friend of mine also wants to see..."
Chu River sighed in relief—as long as her friend liked it, it proved her interests were normal.
What a pity, it wasn’t her fault, it was the world’s fault.
She sighed: "Alas... I can’t see it anymore either."
At this moment, Chu River couldn’t help but regret not coming later.
The technology bureau of the previous world was so excellent that as long as there was no rush to make Hover Shuttles, manpower could have been diverted to create anti-gravity force fields. Then, in the force field, one could race, speed, play cuju, fight hand to hand, hold mecha competitions...
If all else failed, after the nationwide spiritual power guidance ended, one could still do things in the Holographic World!
Thinking back to Chu Fa Da, before thirteen, mixed with community Star Police; before sixteen, worked hard to save up for the Sky Falcon; and after seventeen...
he was caught by Chang Geng and thrown into Buzhou Star System, which had twelve auxiliary stars and nine grand planets in a military Star Belt!!!
The whole star system was a military base, damn it!
Spent fifteen years there, stepping out meant a battlefield, coming back meant a base, damn it, her long-past illegal... cough, slightly thrilling stories were all done when she was a minor!
These small thrills were not that satisfying even back in the Star Sea—Buzhou Star System did have them, but she only went a few times before getting caught again!
As for why she was still caught as an adult...
Chu River thought: How could she not gamble a bit when watching these? It was just that her luck was too bad, so that every time the promising candidates she chose never won due to some unforeseen factor.
Lost her whole year’s salary in just a few rounds... Meanwhile, a bunch of people below her made a fortune betting against her...
But this wasn’t her fault either.
Her judgment wasn’t wrong, those she chose were all capable, but for some reason, they all failed to perform. Every time she placed a bet, something personal went wrong for them.
Ultimately left impoverished and in disgrace before Chang Geng.
The past was unbearable to recall, every recollection made her want to hit herself.
Finally changed worlds, not even thinking about it in her past life, after all, time travel itself was pretty exciting.
But in the current era, mecha fighting or anti-gravity field competitions were out of the question, no harm in a regular car race or close combat, right? Fresh chapters posted on novel·fıre·net
Yet even this wasn’t available.
She recalled the thrilling competitions before and shook her head in disinterest.
Jin Siya and Hu Yuanduan held their glasses, at this moment watching the swaying men and women on the dance floor, for some reason, they lost their relaxing mood and even felt a bit uninterested.
The two murmured: "I’ve been an adult for so many years, yet still watching these ordinary things..."
Just then, the bar’s music abruptly turned lively, and young men and women gradually entered the dance floor swaying, the light flickering, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Chu River was dumbfounded.
"What are they doing?"
A group of people dancing poorly!
Jin Siya and Hu Yun were also a bit embarrassed—they originally wanted to enlighten the naive little sister, but didn’t expect the other party to be seasoned and not favoring their bland form of entertainment...
But now that they came, they could only brace themselves to say: "It’s tiring being a worker, at night no one knows each other, so let’s relax and ease our minds."
Chu River felt the same: "Who says otherwise? With someone above pressing down, doing things is quite restrictive..."
Rarely finding someone sharing her sentiment, the two set down their glasses and enthusiastically invited:
"Want to join us for some fun? Little sister, anyway, can’t see what you wanted, why not go down there and move around a bit."
Chu River curiously glanced around the crowd, then slid off the high stool: "Sure!"
As soon as she lifted her foot, a man walked over. He was tall and thin, with refined features, his shirt sleeves rolled to his elbows, his tie loosely hanging, giving off a unique vibe while holding a glass:
"Hello, I’m Jason, may I get to know you?"
Jin Siya instantly tightened her grip on Hu Yun’s hand—goodness gracious! They weren’t unattractive, but as many times as they came to the bar, the instances of getting hit on were rare.
