Of course, these missions were not available to just anybody. The school conducted strict selections. Each person would have vastly different missions available to them.
The moment Wang Zheng hung up, Zhang Shan started to make a fuss.
“Wang Zheng… I can’t hold it anymore…”
“If you can still talk, then it’s not ‘can’t hold it anymore’ yet…”
“It’s not that, my stomach hurts…”
“Tide through it, be at peace.”
“D*mn, it’s diarrhea.” Zhang Shan was swelling up.
“…” Wang Zheng was speechless for a full five seconds. “Go quickly.”
Creating a special training plan for this guy was going to stretch unorthodox to its very limits. Luckily, Butcher had mentioned Gemini Star. It was a fortuitous chance.
Zhang Shan cringed in frustration. People had three uncontrollable urges, he could not be blamed. But even he had no idea that fatigue had caused it.
The next morning, Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan had just boarded the space shuttle, when they were surprised by Lie Xin in a sexy getup, reclining in the shuttle’s rest area.
“Lie Xin? You’re here too? Not bad, you look really fetching. Looks like this journey won’t be lonely.” Zhang Shan’s eyes widened. Lie Xin’s figure was just right. Especially those legs, they seemed even sexier than before. What was more, she never hid it under wraps.
Lie Xin’s gaze swept coldly over Zhang Shan to rest on Wang Zheng. “If y’all can come, can’t I?”
“Of course you can. What Zhang Shan meant was, Good Morning. It’s a pleasant surprise to see you.” Wang Zheng smiled. They had been cooperating before this, and getting along with Lie Xin would not be difficult. Perhaps the performance of the team had aroused Butcher’s interest. Who knew what that old geezer was thinking?
“Lie Xin.” At this moment, a petite figure walked out from the cabin. “I just made coffee. Do you want some?”
Zhang Shan’s eyes widened even further. This sylph-like cutie was no other than the genius girl of Gemini Star, and one of Starry team’s main force. The loli without comparison, Ao Ziwei, and also Gemini Star’s IG captain!
Loli Ao served a cup of coffee to Lie Xin, then raised her head to look at Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan with a dimpled smile: “Wang Zheng, nice to see you. Cappuccino?”
“Yes please.”
Zhang Shan poked his nose with his own finger. Me? Me?
But clearly, Loli Ao was ignoring him, although she eventually poured him a cup, black, which went a little way to soothing Zhang Shan’s wounded spirit.
Wang Zheng smiled, seeing Lie Xin, oozing sexiness, beside the pure loli Ao Ziwei. When the two of them stood side by side, it was a different picture of beauty. Only, when did the two of them get so close? The world of girls was indeed strange.
Ao Ziwei’s abilities were imbued with a hint of Light affinity, while Lie Xin’s was fire. Fire and Light was indeed a mutually advancing pairing.
At this moment, Butcher walked in, under the gaze of his numerous fans. Seeing Wang Zheng, Butcher’s eyes lit up. He shrugged off the crowd, and pulled Wang Zheng to one side, engaging him in discussion. “Come come come, perfect timing. I have a few design questions about the runic mecha, which I need to refine based on your habits…”
Since he was also a member of the Genesis Coffee Club, and they were not in school, Butcher did not treat Wang Zheng as an outsider at all. The familiar way he chatted with Wang Zheng left Ao Ziwei at the side blinking like an owl. That couldn’t be right. She had heard about Butcher’s temperament, which was supposed to be sour and rigid. But the way he treated Wang Zheng made him seem almost human.
Since they were all present, the shuttle quickly rose and took off. It used Inner Roland’s specially designated air route, and had quickly left Roland Garros’ gravity field behind. After a bumpy phase, it directly entered subspace.
Butcher was discussing the runic mecha’s details with Wang Zheng when two middle-aged men in suits approached from one side of the cabin.
Butcher looked up and brought the conversation to a halt. He smacked his forehead: “How forgetful of me… Let me introduce everybody. Wang Zheng, these are Qi Bin and Kulifa, Zerg tribe specialists, and members of our research team.”
“Keke, hello there, little student. How do you do? Professor Butcher, do we take recess inside?”
Qi Bin had a goatee and bright eyes. He had a very intellectual look.
And Kulifa was a burly man. Most distinct of his features was his nose bridge, high as the Himalayas. A thick pair of glasses rested on them.
The two were clearly looking to speak to Butcher in private.
Butcher nodded to Wang Zheng, signifying that they would continue the conversation later, and then walked with the pair to the meeting room.
After Butcher left, Zhang Shan, who had been exploring the whole shuttle, sidled up close. “Wang Zheng, the facilities on this shuttle are amazing. Everything you could think of.”
Leaving the Elite Academy X environment behind, Zhang Shan had a relaxed feel to him. A change of environment was indeed useful in breaking the bottleneck.
Wang Zheng smiled. This was a Inner Roland standard mission shuttle. The facilities were wonderful, but…”How about three hours of horse stance? Do you remember yesterday’s stance?”
Zhang Shan’s jaw dropped. No way. He had stood for a little over an hour yesterday, and his ass was already so sore that the diarrhea had been as unhappy an experience as could be. Three hours today? ”
“This… Is horse stance really going to be useful?” Thinking of the hardship his butt was going to suffer, he could not resist trying to bargain with Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng nodded sternly. “What you lack is your basics. Horse stance is the basic of basics.”
Zhang Shan rolled his eyes. Alright then. If Wang Zheng said so, then even if it was a lie, he would have to comply.
“Wang Zheng, since we both have nothing to do, let’s have a match.”
Lie Xin said. She did not wait for his reply, but beckoned and headed for the training room.
Zhang Shan, having just assumed the horse stance, looked at Lie Xin’s sexy back figure and his mouth watered. He wanted to go too… Especially when Lie Xin was in hot pants, those creamy legs… How was this a fighting exchange? It was benefits. But thinking about Lie Xin’s battle strength, he would definitely be left on the floor unconscious until they arrived at their destination.
Wang Zheng smiled slightly, and followed. Wang Zheng would never shun from a fight, especially when the opponent was the Lie Flame Technique.
“Let me see how strong you’ve become!”
Lie Xin walked to the center of the field, and suddenly whirled about. Her energy exploded out. Her perfectly sculpted right leg flew straight towards Wang Zheng.
BOOM…
The flames blazed out. Lie Xin had used Lie Flame Technique from the get-go. Formidable suppressive power, which scorched the air itself in the training room.
Wang Zheng dodged lightly, letting Lie Xin’s fiercest attack pass by him. But Lie Xin did not pause. The flames whipped around, her long leg flashing out like a lightning whip.
Wang Zheng’s right hand raised to meet it, and felt a burning wave of energy rush up to meet him. He could only continue retreating. Lie Xin was fighting very savagely, and her fire had an intense feel about it.
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
Lie Xin unleashed six consecutive kicks, each one equally explosive. Suddenly she raised her hands and pressed in close. He was just about to unleash an uppercut, when he saw the swelling bosom of Lie Xin and thought better of it. He immediately changed his move, rushing past the defenses of Lie Xin’s hands. His two hands split her attack, clamping down on Lie Xin’s knee and counter attacking. They flew up to clasp Lie Xin’s right wrist, and with a twist of his body, threw Lie Xin heavily on the ground.
A body that was soft yet firm, so supple that it held a charm that drove one mad, yet Wang Zheng had treated it like a wild beast, and dumped it unceremoniously on the ground.
“Ungh…”
On the ground, Lie Xin let out a soft cry, her legs reacting quickly to clamp about Wang Zheng’s waist. But Wang Zheng was faster. His body leaped back, simultaneously avoiding Lie Xin’s scissoring legs and letting her fall. He retreated to one side, completely focused and ready to receive Lie Xin’s next attack.
Lie Xin kipped back up and stared at Wang Zheng for 2 seconds. Suddenly she announced. “We’re done here.”
Wang Zheng was feeling a little embarrassed himself as well. Lie Xin was really dressed a little too skimpily. It was difficult for him to ignore.
Lie Xin looked at Wang Zheng, and a mad fire began burning throughout her body. Her body needed release, and the last time she had felt such needs, it had been Wang Zheng’s call that had interrupted her.
And now, the feeling was welling up even more strongly. This had nothing to do with affection. It was raw lust that thirsted for carnal sex, like a beast. In Lie Xin’s eyes, Wang Zheng was unquestionably a strong match.
“Wang Zheng, what do you think of me?” Lie Xin played with her hair, a sexy move that drove the guys wild.
But in Wang Zheng’s eyes, Lie Xin was just Lie Xin. He was not too sure what to make of her little moves. “Lie Flame Technique is very strong. If we go at it for real a few times, I would definitely be left battered…”
“I mean, me. What do you think.” Lie Xin batted her eyelashes at him. Teasing Wang Zheng was a fun business. Lie Xin was curious as to whether Wang Zheng had had sex with Aina. That would definitely be something that no man could refuse. It was the ultimate accomplishment that one could brag a lifetime about.
“Um, from a personal standpoint, you’re a great friend, otherwise I would not have sought you out about challenging the Zerg.”
Wang Zheng smiled. Lie Xin was a little odd today, a little… off.
Lie Xin brushed her hair again. Hearing Wang Zheng’s words, her mouth twitched. She wanted to laugh, a little. But the more Wang Zheng was like this, the more the demonic fire in her wanted to burn him all up.
“Wang Zheng, we…”
“Ah, Wang Zheng, Lie Xin, there you are. Professor Butcher asked us to go over…”
Just as Lie Xin was about to make an aggressive move, Ao Ziwei suddenly appeared from outside, interrupting Lie Xin’s move.
Butcher did not have anything important, only sharing a few details about the escort mission this time round.
The primary objective was to escort him and his two Zerg tribe specialists to the Gemini Star’s Zarro Star secret base, and to protect them while they carried out a series of scientific experimental research. Of course, they were using this opportunity as a test as well. Doing beat theorizing, every time.
Qi Bin smiled, stroking his beautiful goatee. He continued on the topic. “In truth, this mission is very relaxed. Treat it as a vacation. And I’m pleased to meet everybody. I’m Qi Bin, researching Zergs. You can call me Beard Qi. This laconic guy is Kulifa. I love making friends with youngsters.”
Qi Bin’s eyes inadvertently landed on Lie Xin, and a wave of surprise coursed through him. It was not just her. Lie Xin’s body was emanating a beguiling scent from every pore. To a biologist, this was a mating call.
