Launch! Ice Dragon!

"You won't be disappointed," Ice Dragon disappeared as the blue light retracted.

The front end of the spacecraft was empty, with no visible control platform or buttons. Due to the absence of a control platform, the seats and the front protective shield were very close, providing a wide and clear field of vision.

Emery was still searching, seemingly looking for the control area. "What did Edmund create? Could it be neural control?" Just as he muttered, a blue light descended from above his seat, and a light shield directly covered him. He was startled for a moment but quickly lifted his face. Soon, a smile appeared on his face as images flashed on the light wall in front of him, displaying data and instruments. It was impressive, far more advanced than Noah City. No, what I meant was that Noah City looked quite run-down, unlike a place with such high technology.

It seems that this is indeed because of the energy source. With energy, there is high technology. A small blue crystal energy source allowed Edmund to create such a spaceship. If there is enough blue crystal energy, I believe Edmund can do even more!

I quickly took my seat. I've only simulated flying before, but today I'm actually getting to test fly. I can't express how excited I am. As I sat down, the light shield also illuminated my seat. The back of the chair suddenly adhered me firmly, without any seatbelt or anything. The entire person was attached, as if the chair back created a different gravity, keeping me securely seated. At the same time, two holographic discs appeared in front, and a lot of data transmission was displayed.

Curious, I looked at the two discs for a moment, and I placed my left and right hands into them. The spaceship shook, and it turned out that this was the way to start.

"Launch! Ice Dragon!" I commanded excitedly.

"Alright, today, we will embark on our maiden flight!" he also said enthusiastically. Immediately, the entire spacecraft emitted a louder hum, and green lights started flashing outside the ship's cabin. Soon, a familiar female voice from Noah City was heard, "Preparing to open the passage, ready for takeoff, countdown begins, ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"Oh~~ I like the voice of this woman." Ice Dragon's tone was full of appreciation.

"She's called Noah," Emery said with a smile.

"I wonder if I can invite her for a cup of coffee," Ice Dragon's tone was teasing.

Ah! Male artificial intelligence is still a man! Their interest in women hasn't changed at all. I believe he and Emery will have more and more common topics.

"Three, two, one..." When Noah's countdown ended, suddenly, I felt a noticeable ascent. However, this feeling of ascent was not caused by the vibration of the spacecraft; rather, Ice Dragon was very stable, and sitting inside felt like walking on level ground. This rapid sensation of ascent was due to the visual experience, because of the scenery outside!

Rows of green halos were rapidly descending, and they were getting faster and faster, almost turning into green lines. Suddenly, the dazzling sunlight unexpectedly illuminated my face, and I instinctively covered my eyes."We've reached an altitude of ten thousand meters..." Ice Dragon said.

What?! What kind of speed is this!

"Twenty thousand meters..."

"Thirty thousand meters..."

"Alright, Ice Dragon!" Emery hastily said, seeming a bit caught off guard by Ice Dragon's speed. "Switch to manual control and let Yvette have some fun!"

"Sure, Emery, Master, I wish you a pleasant experience."

What? I'm going to pilot this so soon! I had just adapted to the light in front of me, barely able to see the scenery, and the entire spacecraft suddenly started descending!

White clouds swiftly passed in front of me, and the glass at the front of the cabin was too close, making everything unfold right in front of me, as if I, Emery, and Ice Dragon were the only ones in the world.

"Master, if you don't pull up, we're heading to heaven."

"What? How do I do that? Ah!" I panicked, making a pulling-up motion in the holographic disc. "I'm not used to anything without a control stick—" Immediately, the entire spacecraft started a rapid climb again!

"Ugh!" Emery was actually retching beside me.

"This isn't my fault; Edmund didn't give me a joystick. You'll have to get used to it," Ice Dragon calmly said. "Your speed is too fast; this way, we'll fly out of the Earth."

"No!" I loosened my grip, and the spacecraft started descending again. I felt nauseous...

I slid my hand to the right, and immediately, the spacecraft began to turn to the right. Phew.

"Master, we're about to crash..."

"Switch, switch to Emery!" I felt nauseous.

"Switching to the second driver, Emery."

"Don't switch to me suddenly!" Emery also shouted, but the system had already switched to him. He hurriedly looked ahead, and in front of us, the terrifying rugged canyon appeared again, the place where he had saved me. He urgently made a pull-up motion, and the spacecraft stopped!

"Successful landing; you two can get off and vomit."

"Ugh—" The doors on both sides opened, and the force that had adhered us to the chair back instantly disappeared. Emery and I jumped out at the first moment, then leaned over to vomit.

"Ugh—"

"Ugh—"

"This thing... ugh! Keep it secret," Emery vomited while looking at me, his face pale.

"Agreed..." For the first time, Emery and I reached a consensus. This embarrassing incident absolutely cannot be known to others!

"Wow—wow—" Small black shadows passed by the rock wall in front of us, a group of dark crows circling above us.

Emery looked at the crows above, hands on his hips. "What are you looking at? We're just vomiting!"

"Splash, splash!" Each black crow landed on the cliff, their dark eyes staring at us as if waiting for their dying prey to take its last breath so they could feast.

In this world, you can see the true nature of survival in the wilderness—survival of the fittest. You're strong, you live; you're weak, you die. The body is even fought over by many birds and animals. Once you die in the wilderness, your bones disappear.

Emery took a breather, looking at me. "Do you want to drive back, or should I?"

My whole body tensed up. Going back means vomiting again? I immediately shook my head, pointing at him. "You!"His smile had a touch of wryness as he scratched his head, clenched his fists, and coughed, "Cough, let Ice Dragon drive by itself."

"Agreed..." Emery and I reached a consensus for the second time. I deeply felt that I shouldn't try to show off by piloting the spacecraft until I could handle the joystick.

Ice Dragon remained stable in place, quietly observing us as we vomited. Despite being a spaceship, its titanium silver shield made it look like it was sporting cool sunglasses, standing there with a cool demeanor, silently enjoying the spectacle of our discomfort.

As we boarded the spaceship, Ice Dragon reappeared, a pair of cunning eyes squinting at us, "Did you two have fun?" His squinted eyes made him appear even more like a sly fox.

"Shut up!" Emery and I said in unison. We awkwardly exchanged glances, realizing that the debut didn't go well.

I glared at Ice Dragon fiercely, "If you reveal today's events, I'll dismantle you!"

Ice Dragon elegantly raised an eyebrow, "Oh~ Master, you can't treat me like that. You're a girl; you can't be so rough."

"I can!" Suddenly, Emery's gun pointed directly at Ice Dragon's face.

"Fuck! I remember you shot me once." Even when using profanity, Ice Dragon maintained an elegant demeanor. Surprisingly, he remembered that incident. He pouted, fell silent for a moment, elegantly bowed, "Whatever you say is what it is, as long as you're happy." With that, he disappeared in front of us, looking quite aggrieved.
