Fragments of the Galactic Dawn Chapter 3

Jordan was delighted and very satisfied with his awakened body.

A humid, strong wind blew in from the corridor of the courtyard, knocking Chen Xi off his feet as he was looking at his reflection in a puddle.

The kitten, who was unfamiliar with its new body, was blown into a tumbleweed, rolling from one end of the porch to the middle of the road.

Then he was picked up by Marcus Lou.

Chen Xi was completely confused.

He looked down at his four paws and big tail in disbelief.

Just this gust of wind!

Just this gust of wind???

Just this gust of wind blew me away?!

Jordan was completely stunned.

Marcus Lou was also a little slow to react.

It was the first time he saw an awakened person who could be blown away by the wind.

Jordan was carried by him and was even swayed by the wind.

Marcus Lou: ...

Jordan: "?!"

Pooh!

This was not the awakening I imagined!

Jordan was simply stunned.

The dignified awakened one was blown away by the wind!

How can I, the little basketball prince of Haicheng University, Chen Xixi, put my face if this gets out?

Jordan turned to look at Marcus Lou, trying to judge from Marcus Lou's expression whether this situation was normal.

Marcus Lou's eyebrows jumped, and he stretched out his voice: "In your situation---"

Jordan's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Marcus Lou laughed out loud: "It's quite rare."

Jordan: ...

What are you laughing at!

Chen Xi felt that he was really brave and ambitious!

So awesome!

He even dared to curse Marcus Lou in his heart!

Marcus Lou looked at Chen Xi who was kicking wildly in his arms, opened the door and put him on the ground.

Jordan walked into the house with unfamiliar steps and stepped on the soft carpet with one paw.

The house was much bigger than he had imagined.

Jordan remembered the introduction on the projection: this house could accommodate at least ten people.

Marcus Lou looked at the bodyguard next to him: "His terminal."

Jordan saw the bodyguard take out his terminal and connect a data cable.

Then, using a few operations that Jordan couldn't understand at all, he cracked his terminal that could not be authenticated due to the fingerprint lock.

Jordan: ???

Marcus Lou took Chen Xi's terminal from the bodyguard, confirmed it, and then looked at Chen Xi.

How come you are so skilled? !

Jordan meowed, looking very anxious.

Marcus Lou: "You can't do fingerprint authentication now, so I'll help you crack it."

He used to be a gangster, and he only cared about the results, not the means. Now that he has been cleaned up, he may not be so particular.

He actually found Jordan's anxious look very interesting.

Marcus Lou shook the terminal in his hand: "So anxious?"

Jordan nodded, stood up and stretched out his front paw to hook the terminal: "Meow!"

Marcus Lou raised the terminal slightly and teased the cat: "Are there any secrets?"

Jordan, whose secrets were exposed, froze for a moment, then meowed even louder.

Marcus Lou's eyebrows jumped: "There really is a secret."

"mum!"

right!

There is a shocking secret in my terminal!

I’ll scare you to death if I tell you!

There are hundreds of thousands of cloud ripples targeting you every day!

Are you afraid?

Marcus Lou didn't feel scared at all.

He amused the cat and returned the terminal to Jordan.

The terminal was hung around Maomao's neck.

Fortunately, today’s terminals are as light as a wristband, otherwise it would be difficult for Jordan to handle it.

Marcus Lou looked down at the time and said to Chen Xi, "Go pick a room."

Jordan unceremoniously chose the room on the second floor with a large terrace.

The bodyguard carried the cat and the backpack up to the second floor.

Marcus Lou retracted his gaze, lowered his head, opened his terminal, and let his AI search the information in Jordan's terminal.

The bodyguard was very skilled in his job. When he cracked Jordan's terminal, he also installed a small gadget into it.

It's a little gadget that monitors messages and calls, but it doesn't provide full surveillance.

The key words that triggered the alarm were nothing more than Marcus Lou's name and some of his little secrets.

In today's Star Citizen, a terminal's data is bound for life, so it is extremely easy to check a person if you want to.

Marcus Lou has a special identity, and anyone who has any contact with him must be investigated.

Marcus Lou saw in the statistics that the data in recent years was almost zero, but when Jordan was fourteen years old, the appearance rate of the keyword suddenly reached a peak.

Marcus Lou looked at the number of appearances of words like "Marcus Lou" and "Lionheart Pirates", his face darkened, and he reached out to click on the details.

Then he discovered that he was not the most special one.

Because Jordan also looked up a lot of names of top awakeners.

Fourteen is the time to prepare for awakening.

And Jordan's resume...

Marcus Lou turned his gaze to the resume interface displayed on the side.

It says that when Jordan was fourteen years old, his awakening failed.

It seems that he is just an ordinary awakening teenager, admiring the awakened ones.

I am not the special one.

Marcus Lou breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little subtly unhappy.

He frowned, hiding the subtle unhappiness, and stood up.

The driver who was waiting on the side stepped forward quickly and asked: "Boss?"

Marcus Lou turned his head to look at the bodyguard coming down from upstairs: "Let's go to the new headquarters."

The driver responded by jogging out to drive.

Marcus Lou walked to the porch, paused, and turned to look at the closed door.

The bodyguard's eldest brother was quick-witted: "Boss, is there a problem?"

"Move my things to..." Marcus Lou paused and changed his words, "Move them to the manor in the eastern suburbs."

"Okay, boss."

really weird.

Marcus Lou got in the car.

He actually wanted to move here and live with that kid.

His instinct told him that this would be delightful.

---But his illness didn't allow him to do that.

This kid is so fragile that he can be blown away by a gust of wind. I guess if he gets sick, Jordan will die on the spot.

Marcus Lou took off his expensive suit jacket with some annoyance, crumpled it and threw it aside.

...

Jordan, who was dancing on the soft big bed on the second floor, had no idea that he had just escaped several disasters.

He jumped on the bed for fun, and then he realized that the bodyguard had disappeared at some point.

Jordan suddenly became nervous.

He doesn't have the rights to this house yet!!

Jordan quickly rolled off the bed and walked to the door. Just as he was about to scratch the door, it opened.

This means that he is already listed as the owner of this house.

Jordan stuck his head out of the room and looked downstairs, and found that the whole house was quiet. There was no sound except for the sound of rain outside.

Jordan was stunned.

Marcus Lou is leaving now?

Too.

Marcus Lou is a very important person, so why would he waste his time on a nobody?

Jordan muttered a few words in his heart, and then his face showed joy!

Marcus Lou is gone!

Isn’t that better!

What a big house!

This soft carpet!

This is a spacious yard!

These are all my cat climbing frames!

Jordan was so happy.

He jumped up and down, adjusting to his new body, and rummaged around for the control panel of the house.

A manor is basically equipped with many fully functional robots.

You can't expect a little cat like him to mow the lawn, clean the shed and cook!

Jordan spent two hours practicing walking and running, and the results were gratifying.

Although when I got anxious, I couldn't control myself and fell like a biped, but I finally got out of the stage of moving forward by rolling.

You are worthy of being me!

Jordan jumped onto the desk with great pride and finally found the chip of the control panel on the desk.

This manor has all the robots that should be there.

Jordan fumbled around on the control panel and finally managed to find his dinner.

Then he held his terminal in his mouth and opened the search engine.

He found a sharing post by an awakened person on a website.

What is shared is the daily life and training content of the Awakening School.

Coincidentally, the poster is also a cat.

Originally, Jordan was planning to rent a cheap small room to get through the unstable period of three to six months.

As for how to endure and how to learn?

That of course relies on an extremely developed network.

Jordan squatted on the desk and clicked on the post with a serious face.

---This is his first step as an awakener!

[Sharing Life] Awakening of the Feline Family, a record of life in the Imperial Capital Primary Awakening School~

Lesson 1: Cats’ socialization begins with licking their fur

The teacher said that as an awakened person, one must adapt to all behaviors of one’s own awakened race.

In cat social interactions, the boss needs to lick the fur of all the younger ones.

Then, a group of big and small pocket-sized cats rolled together and licked each other's fur for a whole class.

Jordan:?

Jordan:? ?

Jordan: ???

What the Fcuk???

Sh!t!!

What a rubbish course!

Jordan showed an expression that shocked my mother.

Is this what you learn in the awakening school? !

Shouldn't we punch the Nanshan Nursing Home and kick the Beihai Kindergarten, and learn all the bullSh!t military and political content? !

In the survey of the whereabouts of the awakened, the appearance rate of the military and political officials was as high as 98%! !

Jordan scrolled down and found that the course content in this post can be summarized as "Teaching You How to Become a Cat".

Jordan's shock gradually spread from his mother to his entire family.

Jordan was silent for a long time.

No, that's impossible!

I must have found the wrong post!

Jordan regrouped and searched for sharing posts from other types of awakeners.

Then I sadly discovered that they were all "Teaching You How to Become a Dog, Goose, Elephant, Cheetah" and so on.

The entry-level courses are all these, and no one is sharing the advanced courses even after searching the entire internet.

Jordan closed the post and felt very tired.

This is completely different from what I imagined an awakened person to be!

Chen Xi, with his fantasy shattered, shut himself off for three full seconds before opening his social media account.

He couldn't just disappear, so he had to say hello to his roommates, let them know he was safe, and then make up a reason to tell them he had moved out.

As a result, when Jordan opened the social account, he saw that there was a new friend named Marcus Lou in his account.

He looked at the extra social account suspiciously.

The avatar of this account is the logo of Knowles Clean Energy.

Jordan thought about it and sent a question mark.

Marcus Lou sat in the car, his impatience growing stronger and stronger.

The traffic jam caused by Yun Lianyi's concert today was really serious.

Especially from the city center, the waterways are jam-packed from the sky to the ground.

The bodyguard and driver sitting in the front were silent as a mouse, not daring to say a word, for fear that any extra noise would ignite Marcus Lou's fragile spirit.

At times like this, I really miss the kid who was chatting with the boss on the way here.

At least someone distracted the boss so he wouldn't pay too much attention to things like traffic jams.

Just as they were thinking this, Marcus Lou's terminal flickered.

The bodyguard who saw the movement through the rearview mirror lit a candle for the colleague who sent the message.

The boss is in a bad mood.

May you be blessed.

But unexpectedly, Marcus Lou, who looked impatient, raised his eyebrows when he saw the news, but did not show any anger.

He even smiled with a hint of interest, and his accumulated annoyance disappeared in an instant.

Marcus Lou: [? ]

Chen Xixi: [Mr. Marcus Lou? Himself?]

Marcus Lou: [Has anyone ever impersonated me?]

Oh, it’s Marcus Lou himself.

I think I added his social media account when I was helping him crack the terminal.

Chen Xixi: [No, just to confirm.]

After Chen Xi replied, he looked through his address book, but couldn't find anyone who could answer his questions about the Awakened.

Except for Loushi.

Jordan hesitated.

He felt that Marcus Lou was quite nice to him and was easy to talk to.

If he didn't know what the other party did before and that he was crazy, he would have been recruited by Marcus Lou on the spot.

Chen Xi hesitated for a while, and finally sent a message to Marcus Lou.

Chen Xixi: [Mr. Marcus Lou, it is like this. The beginner courses of the awakening school that I searched on the Internet are all like this.]

Chen Xixi: [Share webpage]

Chen Xixi: [Share webpage]

Chen Xixi: [I can’t find the advanced course. I don’t know if this is true...?]

Marcus Lou took a quick glance at the web pages.

Marcus Lou: [This is indeed the case for the elementary courses, but the advanced courses are confidential and are not allowed to be released to the public.]

Jordan: ???

No, it’s really like this? ?

When you awakened, did not only your physiology but also your thinking split apart? ?

Chen Xixi: [Are these elementary courses...really useful?]

Do I really want to learn?

Jordan was torn between his conscience and his desires.

Marcus Lou replied very straightforwardly: [It’s useless. The essence is to familiarize oneself with body functions, but the current educational philosophy is to combine education with entertainment.]

Jordan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked Marcus Lou a soul-searching question.

Chen Xixi: [Have you also studied these elementary courses?]

Marcus Lou paused slightly, then closed the terminal expressionlessly.
