Chapter 47: Section 47 - Close and Open Your Eyes, and It's Daybreak

Name:Sky-cracking Rider Author:


Staring at the "Illegal operation or wrong command" that filled most of his vision, he invoked the "cls" command like a magic spell, instantly clearing the screen. Then, dismissing his stray thoughts, the frequency of "Illegal operation or wrong command" messages reduced significantly.

He could guess that these characters were actually his stray thoughts, which did not match the corresponding command for "Phantosmia", hence the prompts.

If he could modify this system, he should be able to solve the problem of meaningless screen spam that interfered with his vision.

Honestly, he had become somewhat accustomed to it, and he began to selectively ignore the messages, which weren't as annoying as they had been at first.

After the "cls" command, he threw out a "dir" command.

Emmm...

Where's my update.bat?

"A:>\\directory"

****/12/12--12:21----2333--setup.exe

2333 bytes"

Chen Fei was somewhat stunned. The update.bat in the "A:>\\" partition had vanished, and instead, there was a new setup.exe.

The files here could actually change.

Screw it, I don't care anymore.

"A:>\\setup.exe"

Enter!

Close my eyes, open them, and it's already daylight!

Damn!

Chen Fei didn't even have a chance to lie down and had already woken up.

That meant he had sat on the bed the entire night without feeling anything.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Xiao Jiu, who had already woken up, was hopping cheerfully on Chen Fei's shoulder as usual, nibbling at his ear from time to time, and smearing his ear with spots of color from the paddle fruit juice it had stolen before.

Called back to reality by the crisp chirping, Chen Fei carefully moved his body, relieved to feel neither stiffness nor discomfort, and he let out a long breath.

This darn DOS system wasn't so bad after all.

Focusing his gaze, the view in front of his eyes was refreshing, without the annoying "Illegal operation or wrong command" messages. Instead, it seemed to have entered some sort of progress interface, and it appeared to be an online installation.

"Installation progress>>>>>>>>>>>...0.01%..."

Below it showed the number of files being downloaded: 3 (2MB)/17174 (19.5GB), with a current connection speed of 0.05KB, sometimes dropping to 0.01KB.

Fortunately, his new sister-in-law was understanding and didn't complain much. Not only did she manage their small household well, but she also often came to help out at her in-laws' home.

Chen Meng finally got serious, discarded all celebrity merchandise, and devoted herself to her studies, aiming for a good university and a good job in the future. She was determined to take on the debt that Second Brother Chen Fei had shouldered and not become a burden on the family.

Father Chen and Mother Chen had retired, but now they had each found a job and could earn a bit to help with the family expenses.

Everyone was working hard because of that huge debt; not a single person was idle.

Given the situation, Chen Fei didn't dare tell his family that he had accidentally killed a Giant Dragon and almost lost his life.

It's better not to worry the family when you're away from home.

After lunch, Chen Fei's "Genuine Fragrance" Combat Flight Squadron training class hadn't started yet. Along with all the employees of the Aircrew Base, he received a notification for an online video conference.

As a subsidiary of the Apocalypse Defense Group, the Aircrew Base had an independent internal management system.

Each employee could use their work card number and corresponding password to look up their salary statements, work performance assessments, approvals for personal applications and reports, as well as special announcements from the base.

Following the notification, Chen Fei opened the link, and the screen of his tablet immediately showed the image of Hanna Gagel, the One-Eye, Second-Level Inspector of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She sat behind the former executive manager's desk, her face cold as she stared at everyone on the screen.

Many people were likely bewildered at this moment since only a few at the Aircrew Base were aware that the executive manager was being replaced, and there hadn't been an official announcement till now.

After a moment of silence, Hanna Gagel finally spoke.

"I am Hanna Gagel from the Apocalypse Defense Group Headquarters, officially replacing Mr. Morris Morgan as the new executive manager of the Aircrew Base. I look forward to working pleasantly with all of you in the days to come."

All over the Aircrew Base, there was an uproar, as many hadn't expected such a sudden change in management without any prior indication.

"WTF?"

Chen Fei heard the incredulous voice of Squadron Leader Chekhov, nicknamed Big Bear.

The deputy squadron leader of "Genuine Fragrance" Combat Flight Squadron, "Devil Pepper" Irinei Rusios took a sniff and spoke with indifference, "This woman, huh, Cyclops!"

"Yeah, she's hot!"

The pilot of the Z-9 Armed Helicopter, nicknamed "Miso," Yamada Yuhu split into a lecherous grin, nearly licking the screen.

The mechanic foreman, Xiao Ming, remained expressionless: "..."

Whether the executive manager changed or not didn't impact him much.

Pilots are easy to find, but experienced mechanics are scarce, so he had the right to be aloof.

While everyone was speculating about the inaugural speech of the new executive manager, Hanna Gagel's next words once again took them by surprise.

"Next, I will show you a video."

Screens of various sizes simultaneously flashed in unison.
