“Kid, congratulations on your admission. We will have fun in the future. Hahaha.” A message popped out from the Skylink. Gail was laughing exaggeratedly.
Wang Zheng was at a loss on whether to laugh or cry. He replied, “Senior, you seem to be rather free to know about these things.”
“Nonsense, I always have things to do no matter where I am. It is great that you are here. You must attend my lessons. I have some projects that I am working on. You have a flexible brain and it would be a waste to not make use of it. Haha.”
Wang Zheng shivered. “Senior, I came to this place to learn about Ability X.”
“I know about that. However, if you were here just to learn about Ability X, you would really be a frog in the well. I shall not say any more. Get familiar with the place and we can talk later when we meet. Oh, right, there is still that gathering. The preparations are almost complete and you have to come when it is ready.” Gail was always hasty. He hung up the Skylink after saying the things he wanted to say.
Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan looked at each other. “Eh, luckily, I have gotten away from this group of old people. They have the same way of thinking as my dad and seem to believe that those who do not do research are all useless. You can enjoy that problem slowly all by yourself.”
Wang Zheng smiled and replied, “Student Zhang Shan, you seem to have forgotten that he will also be your mentor. I believe that we should get to know the school rules, and it seems that we won’t be allowed to skip classes.”
Zhang Shan was stunned. After which, he took out the school rules booklet and flipped through it. It was filled with dense lines of words. Suddenly he recalled that not only that this place had no freedom, it was simply a devastated hell. It was especially so for a freshmen.
Wang Zheng was tossing and turning on his bed. He had clear goals for being here and that was for him to become stronger and more well-rounded. In the past, he was trying to run away from certain things. Since he had some talents in physics and mathematics, why did he have to give them up. Could it be that they were really disrupting his own training?
At least this couldn’t be simply determined based on the current situation. It seemed that he could no longer take things easy.
Faraway on Earth.
Following a loud explosion, a few people ran out of the experiment lab in a rush. They cut a sorry figure, much like a beggar. At this moment, how could Xiao Fei maintained her charming appearance? She was covered in dust and her clothes were torn and tattered. Marcus himself was crawling on the floor. The other employees were also looking a little flustered.
“We have made a wrong calculation and the device exploded. At this rate, it will only be a matter of time before we lose our lives here,” said Marcus as he forced a smile. They had made the calculation endless times. This should have been possible. However, six consecutive experiments had ended in failure, of which there were three explosions.
Each explosion had burnt astronomical amount of money. This was still secondary. This experiment was too dangerous. If the space transmission process was slightly unstable, it would bring about unpredictable outcomes.
Frankly speaking, one could forget about this technique being used by civilians. It wouldn’t even be enough to be used in the military. Military technology allowed for a certain probability of failure. After all if it was a high end technology, it could be used as a killer move in extraordinary circumstances, even if there are flaws. However, right at this moment, it would seem like there weren’t just minor flaws.
If there’s a failure during the transmission process, one could forget about even launching a sneak attack. One would be better off just returning home.
“Xiao Fei, should we do a simulation to find the source of the problem?” advised Marcus. He felt that Xiao Fei had been a little too stubborn. One had to be stubborn in science. However, if one was too stubborn, it would be equivalent to have been possessed by the devil.
Xiao Fei scratched her hair and replied, “We have already made countless simulations. At this rate, it would only be a complete waste of time and resources if we continued. Let’s continue with the experiment and re-analyse the data from the previous experiment to identify where the problem was.”
Everyone knew they had no choice and could only start from the beginning. Practice was undoubtedly the only standard to prove the theory. Failure could also provide a good amount of data. It was just that the price of the failure was rather high.
Xiao Fei’s eyes were filled with stubbornness. She could not stop. To reach here, KING Company had taken too many things and had undertaken too much. She wouldn’t be able to accept failure and wouldn’t allow it. Suddenly, she realised she no longer had any route for retreat.
Marcus sighed. He knew about it too. This was the price of scientific research. They weren’t the first and would definitely not be the last. In the past, with his fame and position, Alan Tucker still…
In the morning of the second day, the group of people took the school bus to the Azure Dragon area of the Elite Academy X. The first impression they got was that they had arrived at a new world.
The architecture in this place was very different from that of the common human planets. It also had huge differences from what were seen in alien civilisation. It felt just like one had arrived in a futuristic world.
The school bus left after sending them to the destination. No one was taking care of them. Although they were freshmen, there wasn’t any babysitter to take care of them and they had to do everything themselves. Obviously, most of them could seek help from their seniors.
In a while, most people had left leaving Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. It was clear they had to figure things out of their own.
They opened their skylink and verified their own serial number. After which, they obtained the relevant map to the area.
Their dormitory rooms were for a single person. This treatment was still rather good. After all, those who were here were basically all adults. One still had to have their own personal space. Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan did not stay together. In their freshmen package, there were nothing other than a map of the Azure Dragon region and the timetable. The only other thing they had was the students’ tools that had to be collected from the Academic Affairs Office. Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan could tell what the other was looking forward to. They wanted to collect their own “pots” first!
Both of them were single and had only a single bag as luggage, nothing was holding them back. They rushed to the Academic Affairs Office excitedly.
“Good afternoon, please let us scan your Skylinks for verification.”
Looking at the smart robot in front of them, Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were scrutinizing it with much interest.
“Damn, this model isn’t bad. I wonder how intelligent it is.” Zhang Shan wanted to touch it. This was because this smart robot looked like a beautiful girl and was even in uniform.
“Students are prohibited from touching the robots in school. You have been warned for a first offence. You will be punished if you commit the offence again.” The voice of the robot was full of emotion. There was even some killing intent in it.
Student Zhang Shan was exhilarated. “Damn, it is rather smart. It wouldn’t die even if I touched it once. Tsk. It’s just like a real person.”
After which, Zhang Shan touched it. He even touched it twice.
The next moment, a loud siren could be heard and Student Zhang Shan was flying in the air.
Bang…
Wang Zheng was laughing hysterically and was too lazy to care about him. After scanning his own serial number, he received a package.
“Student Wang Zheng, student ID 200213. Class: Huang – 7. You are invited to use the Academy’s self-service system.” The smart robot gave him a very sweet smile.
Wang Zheng took the package and shouted, “Hurry up, Zhang Shan. Could it be that you want to have lunch here?”
“Damn, this robot is rather ruthless. If I hadn’t ran fast enough, I would have been in the hospital by now. ”
Although Zhang Shan was blasted far away, the fact was that he had used instantaneous movement to avoid the other party’s high voltage attack. However, he was still caught by some residual current.
After collecting his package honestly, Zhang Shan didn’t dare to be reckless. It seemed that the rules in this place weren’t just for show. If the electric attack previously was to connect directly, he would definitely be lying in the hospital for a few days.
There were some daily necessities in the package and a flying device for a single person. Its diameter was approximately two metres and the whole device was shimmering in a dull light as though it had a life of its own. This was what it looked like before being activated.
“We’ve finally got it!” Zhang Shan could no longer hold back and jumped onto it anxiously. It was easy to activate. After channeling his spiritual strength into it, it would automatically be activated and could be controlled using one’s consciousness.
Wang Zheng was trying to tell him that they should be looking at the instruction manual first.
The next moment, Zhang Shan shot into the sky like a rocket and crashed directly onto a tree. He fell down in a straight line on his butt.
Bang…
The flying device landed directly on top of Zhang Shan’s head, and Zhang Shan could only see a sky of stars.
From the side, laughter could be heard. “I have seen silly people before, but never have i seen anyone so silly.”
“Don’t say that. Don’t you feel that these two people are rather interesting?”
