Even if they had seen through the other party's lies, the person had no intention of revealing any information to them. However, the more Ye Qing looked at the other person's stubborn refusal to admit anything, the more uneasy she felt.

What could have caused the other party to suddenly change their previous decision and directly "recommend" the four of them?

Logically speaking, it would have been normal to break their legs or confine them here for reflection.

"Maybe your mom pleaded?"

"My mom doesn't even agree with me signing up, okay?"

"Ah, so your parents didn't agree at first, but why now?"

"How would I know?"

Listening to the pointless discussion behind her, Ye Qing impatiently turned around and glared at the three idiots. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you guys really stupid?"

The three of them: 0.0?

Hey!

No need for personal attacks, okay?

"Why are you angry? Out of nowhere."

Ji Junyuan, a self-proclaimed gentleman, never yelled at girls. Even though Ye Qing wasn't always polite when she spoke to them, he still wasn't angry, and only cautiously asked.

"Since you can't find any reason on your own that would make your father change his mind, then something must have happened outside while we were messing around with the aircraft, forcing your father to change his mind."

As Ye Qing spoke, she glanced at the guard outside the prison cell.

Sure enough, when she said that, the other person guiltily glanced over again, and Ye Qing caught him red-handed.

"Ah, what happened?"

"How would I know?"

Ye Qing spread her hands to show that she didn't know either.

Besides their unclear "recommendation," there were also the uncertain futures of Qi Hai Kui and Li Yuan.

The last time they signed up, at the last moment, Qi Hai Kui held back from registering because of that damned intuition, and he even pulled Li Yuan back with him.

Both of them didn't feel too good at the time, as if they would be finished as soon as they got on the starship. However, Li Yuan still wanted to take the risk for Hu Yue in the end.

However, with Li Yuan's skills, letting him and Hu Yue take risks was out of the question.

If they were piloting mecha, the two could still cooperate, but if it was close combat with fists and weapons, Li Yuan would just be a burden!

So the two of them didn't make it into the previous selection.

"I feel like it should be safe for us to sign up this time."

But this time, for the public selection, Qi Hai Kui felt that although his and Li Yuan's professions were quite unpopular, being in the field of celestial observation, they would be very useful if they went to outer space.

If they signed up, considering that the requirement for these 200,000 places was to involve all walks of life, they would be very suitable in terms of profession or age.

"200,000 places, there are over 800 million people in H country. Excluding the elderly, there are still five or six hundred million. We might not even be selected if we sign up..."

Li Yuan was worried that they wouldn't be selected. Seeing Qi Hai Kui's excited expression, he paused and asked, "Do you have a strong feeling that we'll be selected this time?"

"Yeah, what's wrong..." Qi Hai Kui hadn't finished asking when he looked up and realized something was wrong from Li Yuan's ugly expression. "You don't think you'll be selected, do you?"

"I don't have a good feeling."

Li Yuan didn't hide it. Now it was Qi Hai Kui's turn to be dumbfounded.

During the last round of selection, he only remembered holding Li Yuan back, but he never thought that some opportunities that were missed might not come again next time.

"What do we do?"

"What can we do? If we can save more than 300,000 people in the end, it shouldn't be a big problem if I don't go, right? Yueyue and the others have obviously eliminated all the space pirates by now. The rest is to try to take away as many people as possible..."

Li Yuan's smile was a little forced, making Qi Hai Kui feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sign up first. Maybe there will be changes during the several days of selection!"

...

"Hello? Who is it? It's early in the morning, can't people sleep!"

De Wen, a player who was also screened out in the previous round, stayed up all night last night because of the online registration.

The registration login kept disconnecting, the information filling kept disconnecting, and the submission kept disconnecting. If it weren't for the free registration, he would have been charged money and still disconnected!!

De Wen was planning to catch up on sleep today, but his work phone turned on on time. It was only 8:30, but someone was already calling him to get up and go to work.

As a freelance photographer, he didn't know who would be asking him to take pictures at this time.

When?

Taking memorial photos?

Although that's what he thought in his mind, De Wen suddenly sat up after hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said.

He excitedly scratched his bird's nest-like hair, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Today, his client's identity was very unusual—it turned out to be someone who had run down from above.

Someone who had already undergone genetic modification had actually run back?

No matter what, De Wen had to go see this client.

So, when he arrived at the agreed-upon park, he saw a burly man with a face that showed a hint of bitterness from the hardships of life.

Standing next to him was a woman who, even with makeup, could still be seen to have a poor complexion. Obviously, she was the wife he mentioned on the phone.

In front of the couple were two strollers, each with two little babies lying in them.

The dark, bright eyes were curiously looking around, full of curiosity about this world.

After many days of snow, today was a rare sunny day, although most of the sun was completely blocked by the starship overhead.

"Mr. Li, right?"

De Wen took the initiative to greet him. The NPC man named Mr. Li also nodded repeatedly, took his wife's hand, stepped forward, and confirmed his identity.

"Today, we're just taking a family portrait, right?"

After exchanging pleasantries, De Wen got straight to the point, holding his camera.

He quietly sized up the couple's tightly clasped fingers and the strollers in front of them. He had originally been curious and wanted to directly ask the other party about the starship, but now he silently swallowed the question back down.

It didn't seem right to ask about "unlucky" things at this time.

"Yes, taking a family portrait of our family of four."

Mr. Li showed a simple and honest smile, using a free hand to gesture to De Wen. "We want a big one, the kind that hangs on the wall, a very big one."

"Oh, oh, that's no problem. We'll enlarge it for you when we make the photo later."

Facing the other party's request, De Wen nodded. At the same time, he looked around at the scenery that had been cleared earlier. The snow-white and verdant green colors intertwined, making it look very beautiful.

"Just taking outdoor shots? Do you need indoor shots?"

De Wen adjusted his camera lens while secretly peeking at the couple across from him.

"Yeah, no need. Please hurry up and make it after you get back, expedited. This, I'll pay extra... hiss!"

Mr. Li suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist and immediately turned to look at his wife, who had already subtly expressed her displeasure. He grinned, not saying anything. His wife seemed to be used to his silly appearance and there was nothing she could do about it.

"You..."

Faced with her husband's silly smile, a soft sigh escaped from his wife's mouth, as if she had long been accustomed to the man's pretending to be foolish.

In the end, she gently shook her head, not saying anything, and only said to De Wen, "Sorry for the trouble."

"It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure."

The time it took to take photos of this couple wasn't long. Soon after they finished taking photos, he watched as the woman, who was already coughing a bit from the cold weather outdoors, was carefully taken back by her husband.

The other party agreed to go to his studio at two o'clock in the afternoon to get the photos.

De Wen thought that it would be more appropriate to inquire about the starship at that time.

Feeling relieved, De Wen walked back with his camera, but his mind was filled with the scene of the couple's interaction and their four adorable children.

For a moment, De Wen's heart also felt inexplicably heavy...
