Chapter 630: The Necessity of Imagination

“Let’s just wait and see. What rules are the student union planning to impose on the Huang Grade individuals? Are they just gonna be beaten to death in one go?” Mo Ling was still fighting for the interest of the Huang Grade individuals.

“All who are able to pilot any mecha and have passed the Huang Grade number seven test and above will be considered eligible to participate.” Ling Luoyu answered.

Mo Ling pondered for a bit before nodding, “That doesn’t seem too unreasonable.”

The Huang Grade mecha ability test consisted of ten types but the most difficult ones were number one to seven. These tests consisted of an all-rounded evaluation of a person’s mecha piloting ability, which obviously included the use of Ability X as well.

Knowing that Mo Ling was not entirely satisfied, Ling Luoyu smiled, “This is the conclusion the student union came to after much discussion and not my personal opinion. Furthermore, we really prioritised being fair. You know, we Xuan Grade individuals are now eager with the thought of facing you all in battle. Fighting one less difficult battle will save us a considerable amount of energy after all.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure of that!” Mo Ling still had some backbone. Who dared to assume that the Huang Grade individuals would be sent packing immediately?

“Ke ke, the students from Huang Grade Class 1 may be stronger in battle than some of the weaker Xuan Grade individuals. Among these five places however, we students of Xuan Grade Class 1 have an utmost advantage and will prevail!

When it came to the runic mecha, nobody was willing to give in. The two treasures of the academy definitely did not include the Bowl but were the space crystals and the runic mecha instead. These two were priceless treasures that were made in strictly limited quantities. Take the space crystals for instance. It was impossible for any Milky Way Alliance nation to develop space crystals for their own use without prior permission. Every space crystal’s owner was officially recorded, and only people of Roland Garros were able to use them. The runic mecha, on the other hand, were unable to be developed even by nations like Aslan. While the development process was readily understood, obtaining the materials required was impossible, for there was a certain object that only Inner Roland possessed.

“Let’s not talk about others. I believe that Olivios is sufficiently prepared to take out those from Xuan Grade Class 1.” Mo Ling commented. While Olivios was not from the Azure Dragon Region, his name had already spread throughout the school.

“I can’t deny that, but you should also remember that the four Xuan Grade experts are all taking part. Do you still believe that it’s possible for Olivios to win?”

Ling Luoyu laughed. Olivios was indeed a formidable genius, but the Xuan Grade also had extreme geniuses of their own. Furthermore these geniuses had achieved more and were far stronger, so they no longer felt the need to show off their skills to the Huang Grade individuals. They had goals far-off from this now.

Nevertheless, a runic mecha was what they wished to obtain – the sooner the better as well.

Wang Zheng trained for over an hour, but failed to grasp the main points in the end. He started to doubt whether he had any talent in this aspect. Perhaps this was because The Primordial Regression Technique had affected his performance in this area. These were all unanswerable questions that nobody could help him answer.

Student Wang demonstrated his perseverance by trying hard once again. He was not afraid of failure after all.

The Hail Cloud Alliance was rather cautious about the competition this time. They held considerable influence at Azure Dragon Region, and this was undeniably a great opportunity for them to reinforce their position. As a student of Xuan Grade Class 1, Redington held even higher hopes for this.

A stage like this was meant for the truly elite and was useless to those who only knew how to flatter with words. Redington had been patiently waiting for such an opportunity to arise all along. This was a great chance, for all he had to do was attain a good ranking in this competition. Doing so would allow him to strengthen his influence in the Hail Cloud Alliance and would allow Snow Li to clearly recognize him as a true elite that she could depend on.

Redington’s prowess had the possibility of making an impact. Even so, it would not be an easy task, but within the Hail Cloud Alliance he was undoubtedly the one with the most hope.

Redington personally sent Snow Li a Skylink message. He knew that Snow Li definitely intended to take part. Who would let such a good opportunity for personal coaching go by?

After half a ring, Redington stared blankly at his own Skylink. He was so angry that he wanted to smash his Skylink. Snow Li actually rejected him!

Could it be that such behavior was intrinsic to Snow Li by virtue of the fact that she was born during the Dance of the Ice Dragon?

This was such a great opportunity for step-by-step coaching from an expert from the Xuan Grade Class 1 after all!

Redington gritted his teeth in frustration. He even spent the whole of last night awake in order to refine his plan. He intended to bring Snow Li to his dormitory the moment she agreed to his offer, after which some dirty events would naturally occur. If there was a chance, he would have unrestrainedly taken it and devoured her whole!

He did not know how it was like in other nations but he knew that those in the Hail Cloud Alliance, particularly those like Snow Li, were not that liberal yet. This meant that he had to be the one to take the initiative.

He had mulled over it till his internal temperature rose, and even prepared a few nifty tricks up his sleeves. He was all fired up due to the various plans and scenarios that he had imagined but in the end…

The other party was not interested at all.

This feeling reminded him of the region of eternal frost within the Hail Cloud Alliance. It chilled him to the bone.

But he would not give up easily!

Wang Zheng suddenly received an unexpected piece of news while he was busy with his preparations for the mecha competition.

Xiao Fei had arrived at Roland Garros!

Wang Zheng felt rather confused to have received Xiao Fei’s Skylink. Xiao Fei should have been really busy at present. The spatial experiments should have reached a critical point where either success or failure was imminent, so how did she have time to come to Roland Garros? Perhaps she came here looking for technological assistance?

Upon second thought, Marcus did come looking for him over a period of time. The company was not doing well, so perhaps Xiao Fei’s visit this time was related to that.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to invite me to see you?” Xiao Fei saw Wang Zheng’s hesitation over the Skylink and wore an excessively murderous look on her face.

“Of course you’re invited. I’ll raise both arms and legs to invite you.” Wang Zheng promptly declared.

“Why don’t you hurry on over and bring me to Inner Roland then?”

“Understood.”

Wang Zheng drove his own Bowl and swiftly went over. Xiao Fei was already at the entrance to Inner Roland. She was a member of the Universe’s Genesis Coffee Club, and thus possessed the necessary qualifications to hold a post here. At the same time, only a small portion of Genesis Coffee Club members would even be willing to hold a post here.

Upon reaching the entrance to Inner Roland, Wang Zheng was able to find Xiao Fei without a hitch. Wang Zheng smiled as he approached her, “Teacher Xiao Fei, in our days apart you’ve become even prettier.”

He felt that throwing out a few compliments would be a good way to put teacher Xiao Fei in a better mood.

Xiao Fei unrestrainedly pinched Wang Zheng’s face, “Good, you have a way with words. Let’s go, I’ve heard that Inner Roland has a mystical means of transport.”

“Understood.”

It was obvious that this was Xiao Fei’s first time riding this type of personal flying device. This was the perfect amalgamation of Atlantis culture and mankind’s technology. However, what surprised Wang Zheng was the fact that Xiao Fei did not really seem all too interested and was only somewhat watching Wang Zheng drive. Her gaze revealed that her thoughts were somewhere else.

Upon reaching the school, Wang Zheng was rejected even before he could finish inviting Xiao Fei to take a look around, “I don’t have the mood for this right now. I’m tired, bring me to your place so that I can rest for a bit.”

Gulp…

Wang Zheng stared blankly. Alright, it seems like she travelled all this way from Earth just to take a break?

“Don’t tell me you’re you’re keeping a concubine at home, you little brat!?” Xiao Fei could sense Wang Zheng’s hesitation and glared at Wang Zheng with a hint of a smile.

Wang Zheng showed a bitter and hateful expression, “Teacher Xiao Fei, you’re humiliating my dignity. Furthermore, if someone wanted to stay in my poor excuse for a home, I would have nothing to say considering that its practically a hole in the ground.”

“Oh really? Zhang Shan and Yan Xiaosu often told me to my face that you were their role model.” Teacher Xiao Fei beamed as she replied.

Wang Zheng exhaled in frustration. These two b*stards were truly good for nothing. When it came to things like these they always pushed it on him.

Upon reaching the dormitory, Xiao Fei took a brief look around, “It’s so clean. Perhaps a girl came over?”

Ahem…

“Professor, being able to maintain the cleanliness of a dormitory is a basic quality that every soldier should have. This has nothing to do with whether or not a female has visited before.” Wang Zheng had to clarify. While it was true that a female had indeed visited and was even a beauty at that, it was clear that she would only have made his dormitory even messier instead.

Xiao Fei patted Wang Zheng’s bed, “Clean enough. I’m tired, let me sleep for a bit.”

What do you mean clean “enough”? It was exceedingly clean. Student Wang Zheng was someone who cared a great deal about personal hygiene.

Xiao Fei was not kidding when she said she wanted to sleep. She extravagantly flung her shoes off and hogged Wang Zheng’s bed without any inhibitions.

Wang Zheng stared blankly. She was really sleeping? It seemed like things were a tad serious.

Xiao Fei’s complexion was indeed not very good. She was slightly pale, and Wang Zheng knew that given Xiao Fei’s resolute and arrogant personality, she had definitely suffered a heavy blow that went as far as to sway her confidence.

He silently watched Xiao Fei lie with her eyes shut. It was obvious that Xiao Fei was not really sleeping. Her eyes were squeezed shut with far too much force, revealing that she was burdened by one worry or another.

However, given Xiao Fei’s character, if she did not want to talk about it, Wang Zheng would not ask either. He quietly sat by her side and started the Internet on his Skylink.

There was only the quiet sound of breathing in the room.

An eternity later…

“Wang Zheng, do you reckon that we live the majority of our lives in dissatisfaction?” Xiao Fei asked.

There were many news articles online and just searching randomly resulted in a pile of results. Wang Zheng now understood what had put Xiao Fei in a bind.

A massive headline – KING Universe Spatial Technology Corporation’s Confusing Future…

The subheading – Spatial Practicality Experiments have failed countless times, where will KING Corporation go from here?

Over a hundred experiments have reportedly been conducted, with the conclusion being failure each time. Project leader Professor Xiao Fei short-sighted desire for results had even resulted in workers suffering experiment-related injuries multiple times. Thankfully there have yet to be any serious incidents, but team morale is currently low.

Is KING Corporation facing bankruptcy?

At the same time, several surreptitious rival companies have already begun targeting KING Corporation’s finances in preparation for an acquisition of this project.

When KING was still valued highly, obtaining even a small slice of the pie would not have been possible. However, they are now left with little choice due to the fact that they are in dire straits.

Xiao Fei could hear the scrolling sounds of the Skylink and knew that Wang Zheng was getting up to speed. The final layer of her facade disappeared and she could not hold herself together any longer. The rim of her eyes started to turn red.

She loved science to the extent that she believed that her purpose in life was to conduct research. As a result, she gave up everything else. From romantic relationships to fame and fortune, these things were not important to her at all. In her pursuit of knowledge and process of understanding the universe, she discovered the value of living and attained redemption, for science was greater than all else.

Things had been going well for Xiao Fei all along. Moreover, she had reached the pinnacle of her life when she met Wang Zheng. Xiao Fei certainly felt that this was just a result of her own ability and that she was able to achieve even greater things in time to come. She strived for her name to forever be etched in the annals of human history much like Einstein, Alan Tucker and other great physicists. That was what she truly felt was worth living for.
