Butcher was stunned for a moment, and momentarily lost his smile, “Seems like you little rascal is still ignorant of the wider world. Good, since you have such ambition, I will be eagerly anticipating.”
After leaving the laboratory, Wang Zheng also began to be interested in the Abyss. While it indeed was a rather dangerous place, infested with all sorts of strange insects, the seniority of Butcher meant that he would undoubtedly have some insider information. It seemed that that space was a little strange, as if there were some traces of human civilization, but that was considered to be a rather unlikely possibility.
At the beginning, Butcher was simply curious about the peculiarities of the insects in there. But gradually, he began to take in interest in its evolutionary capabilities. If human bio-engineering was able to replicate the characteristics of such a creature, would humanity overall take a step forward?
That would definitely be a revolutionary innovation.
Butcher also congratulated Xiao Fei on her success. Even though he was her predecessor, he was still surprised at the result. It must be known that the transformation from theory to practice was akin to crossing a giant chasm, and even Xiao Fei and the other geniuses would likely require at least five years or more. This was the mainstream belief that most of the members had concluded, but the genius Xiao Fei had given them a surprise instead.
Of course, the successful result was dependent on numerous other factors. Xiao Fei’s experimental team had been helped by many other members of Genesis Coffee. Sometimes, even if it was just to answer a single question, pointing out a direction for them was actually a huge help for the team, and also saving them a significant sum of money. After all, all of them were considered to be at the peak of their fields, and even a random sentence would take ordinary people a long time to understand.
Xiao Fei’s success was due to standing atop the shoulders of the giants.
Wang Zheng was also happy for Xiao Fei. The news of KING Company’s experimental success had already been announced. It was said that this had sent a shock throughout the Solar system, and stock price of KING Company had skyrocketed. This was all within expectations, as the interest in the investment side had begun to rapidly heat up. Unfortunately, this was no longer a necessity.
The key to the project was to lead a breakthrough in space. After overcoming this obstacle, from a military standpoint, this allowed them to deploy an assault under high-speed circumstances. This was undoubtedly extremely important.
The success of the project had caused a sensation in the Solar system, and other countries were paying close attention.
As one of the shareholders of KING, Mr. Ye Bingwen had clearly gained an even larger voice in the overall situation. Just on funding alone, OMG could not be considered to be the top within the Solar system. His success had been reliant on much ‘luck’, but due to the success of KING Company, it had allowed him to spread his wings and soar, stabilizing his position in the federal parliament of the Solar system.
However, as this project involved national security, it was necessary to make certain concessions regarding the economic interests, according to the federal laws of the Solar system. Of course, these had also been predicted by the research team. For Xiao Fei’s team, they were only interested the joys of mastering such a technique. But for OMG and Little Lucky Star, their aim had already been achieved. The stock price had rapidly risen, alleviating the pressure on their funding, and the investments in each respective field were much smoother. It must be noted that the economic benefits of this project had become the most important outcome that they had needed.
In other words, this project had already obtained the best advertising and publishing possible.
Wang Zheng was also relieved. At the very least, he no longer had to rush around madly.
After a good night’s sleep, the second round begin.
Wang Zheng’s opponent, was Takumi from the Big Bear Federation.
Due to the fact that Wang Zheng had passed the first round, while most of the Huang Grade students had been eliminated, the attention was all on Wang Zheng to obtain prestige as a representative in the Huang Grade.
At any rate, it wasn’t a major issue. Once he had passed through the second round, it could be considered to have saved the face of the Huang Grade students.
As a matter of fact, this should have been an ordinary match. And it was indeed the truth, as only a few minor figures had come as spectators. On the side of Black Tortoise Region, Long Ma had also arrived. After watching the video, he had also wanted to know if this youth was indeed as strong as he had seen.
It must be known that although some matches were interesting to watch, it was due to the low skill levels on both sides, thus creating all sorts of flashy moments. However, the ability to create such interest was also a skill in itself.
There were quite a number of Huang Grade students that had arrived. Lia and the others had come to cheer for Wang Zheng. It was hard to say if that guy would be able to create a miracle. Zhang Shan and Oli did not attend, as they both had to prepare for their own matches.
Amongst this rabble of viewers, a special figure had entered the hall. It was the long awaited Olivios!
He had already passed through the second round. The opponent was a Xuan Class 3 member, and did not pose much of a challenge to him. Following the flow of the competition, the name of Olivios was also becoming much more renowned. A Huang Grade student winning against a Xuan Grade, as if he was teaching little kids a lesson. The most crucial thing was his attitude, where he did not even acknowledge the presence of the Xuan Grade students.
It was obvious that everyone knew by now that he was the younger brother of Marzu Hydra, and Marzu was first in the rankings in the Xuan Grade. Thus, it was not too surprising the Olivios had such strength.
Long Ma thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. As a Xuan Grade student, it was no longer news that Olivios was Marzu’s brother. This guy was even more unbridled and arrogant than his brother, but admittedly had the strength to back it up. Long Ma had seen such a situation before, that those with the style of Marzu dealt with this opponents exactly the same as dealing with ants, and they were the monsters from Arbiter.
Olivios came to watch the match alone, without intending to converse with anyone.
… Why would he be here? Don’t tell me it was to watch Jar Jar Mi?
Eisen and the rest were not surprised. Olivios and Wang Zheng knew each other on IG, one was a champion and the other was a runner-up. Although they could not be considered friends, but they were at the very least acquaintances.
Snow Li, Ai Xiaolu, and De Fulei had also arrived. Snow’s match was at the end, while Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei were not able to pass to the second round. As they neared the end, the standards of the opponent were even higher. After all, female pilots were a little weaker in direct combat than male pilots.
Snow Li was not surprised to see Olivios. It would be strange if he didn’t come.
Not being able to face Wang Zheng in the finals was definitely a regret for Olivios. The reward for the champion was in fact rather low.
At that time, Snow Li had judged that although Olivios was strong, Wang Zheng had in fact a sixty percent chance of winning.
It was only appropriate that the unfinished duel would continue in Elite Academy.
She was proud of the fact that only Wang Zheng was able to make Olivios pay attention to him.
Due to the emergence of Olivios, even more Huang Grade students had streamed in, especially those from the White Tiger Region, Although Olivios ignored everyone, no one took offense, as those from Arbiter all had similar personalities, using their strength as a deterrence. Within the hierarchy of the White Tiger Region, Olivios was considered to be a representative of the resistance from the Huang Grade students.
Long Ma couldn’t help but remind Jar Jar Mi, who was still delighted at the scene. He had still not noticed the severity of the situation. If Olivios came, it meant that him and Wang Zheng were on the same level, and that meant the Wang Zheng definitely had the strength to compete against the tier one Xuan Grade.
Unfortunately, Long Ma’s reminder fell on deaf ears, as Jar Jar Mi happily replied: I’m also a Xuan Class 1 Expert.
The heck, was this an answer?
The Big Bear Federation really produced stupid bears.
There were less than ten minutes left until the start. When Snow Li and the rest though that they would start in such a situation, another unexpected visitor arrived.
The sudden appearance of this person had caused a huge sensation.
Because this person was the biggest sensation in the second district, the absolute strongest, from Aslan’s Vermillion Bird Region, Hocatolin!
When Pampas arrived during the first match, no one had noticed him. However, people soon started paying attention when Olivios came, and some quickly spotted Hocatolin’s arrival.
The ruler of Vermillion Bird came to watch such an insignificant match?
Hocatolin was a little surprised that Olivios was also here, while Olivios also did not expect Hocatolin to come. Both of them glanced at each other, but not a single word was said.
There was no doubt that even for Olivios, it was an achievement to reach the level of Hocatolin.
The Arbiters only respected one type of person, which was the strong.
The arrival of the ruler of Vermillion Bird made the atmosphere in the entire hall boil. Whenever the four great experts were paying attention to the match, it meant that there was someone worth noticing.
The match had not even started, but the audience numbers had started to surge.
When there was about five minutes left, another person had arrived. This time, it was someone that was even more ferocious than the ruler of Vermillion Bird… because he was not a student, but an instructor!
Instructor Jiang Feng, one of the top five hundred in the Battle Power Rankings!
It was said that this competition was being held by Jiang Feng’s mentor, and this was his first time arriving at the scene, and it was even only in the second round.
Why would such an expert arrive here?
Even Hocatolin wanted to pay his respects to the instructor. Without question, the master of instructor Jiang Feng was his future goal, and he even hoped to surpass him.
It was just that he did not understand why Jiang Feng was paying attention to this match. Hocatolin was here because of Wang Zheng, as being the president of the Aslan Association in Elite Academy, he had heard some bad rumors about him. First, he had to ascertain what kind of a person Wang Zheng was, a mere runner up in the IG competition was not worth a fart. Unexpectedly, he had met with Olivios and Jiang Feng here.
Within a few minutes, Wang Zheng and Takumi’s match had become a hot topic.
Long Ma was excited and nervous at the same time that even his palms were sweating. This was a golden opportunity. If Takumi was able to leave a good impression of instructor Jiang Feng, there would be plenty more opportunities for him to showcase himself in the future. He hoped that this Wang Zheng would be strong enough to all Jar Jar Mi to showcase all of this potential, and surprise everyone!
Everything was great about this bear, only that he was dumb! If Takumi had the strength, he should use it to dazzle everyone. If he had the strength that Jar Jar Mi had, he would already be famous throughout the whole school, while at the same time setting up his Milky Way harem, how awesome would that be!
“Jar Jar Mi, you must win, and win beautifully. Don’t destroy the kid immediately, and show off a few more trump cards. Our bright future ahead is dependent on you!” Long Ma exclaimed.
