Tempest of the Stellar War
chapter-61

Yue Jing was clearly very angry. Doing such a derogatory thing made her feel absolutely disgusted.

Not every principal was so willing to engage with their students. Adonis was an extremely engaged principal and he hoped that all the students would contribute to the school as the school's glory was also the student's glory.

Regardless of whether she was willing or not, Yue Jing still had to put on a show.

At this point in time, Student Wang was completely oblivious to everything that was happening. Xiao Fei was Wang Zheng's benefactor, so he would help her whenever possible. Furthermore, he didn't want to lose any face in front of Aina.

Student Wang did not like to be serious. However, in front of Aina, he would often defend her vigorously regardless of the situation, from the past till now.

Perhaps he had fallen in love with her the moment he met her. Wang Zheng never saw Aina as a princess.

Aina could truly feel that Wang Zheng treated her genuinely without any concern for her position. Only Aina could see how wonderful Wang Zheng was.

Whether he was famous or not was of no concern to Aina. This was the wonderful thing about the two of them.

When the two were together, they would never run out of things to say. From topics about things all over the galaxy, to the arts and sciences, even about love itself. Wang Zheng felt that his ability to communicate with her was getting better and better.

As a result, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. Aina was a huge source of distraction to Wang Zheng. Every time they separated, Wang Zheng had to practice his Primordial Regression Technique before he could have peace of mind. More recently… he had even started to have erotic dreams of her.

However, what was truly pitiful was that whenever he was almost successful in his dreams, a scary Bonehead would appear and, with electric bolts flashing out of his hands, instantly shock poor Wang Zheng awake.

There were no secrets that could be hidden in the school. This little matter soon spread around the entire college and caused quite an uproar.

Dr. Xiao Fei had managed to come up with a breakthrough in the field of space-time physics and it brought glory to both Ares College and Earth.

The people of Dormitory 007 were also celebrating. Unsurprisingly, Yao Ailun managed to obtain firsthand information.

"Wang Zheng, you're too dazzling. In the future, we need to watch you carefully. You actually managed to get yourself recognized in the theoretical paper by Xiao Fei! GOD!"

Yao Ailun said exaggeratedly. It could be seen that he was extremely envious.

"Brother Zheng, being able to produce such results when you're still in college is truly amazing. The number of people able to do so in the entire Milky Way Alliance can be counted on the fingers of one hand!"

Zhang Shan also felt extremely happy for Wang Zheng. "Looks like our dormitory has produced someone famous. Wang Zheng, I think you should just focus on scientific research. I, on the other hand, am going to transfer departments."

The three of them stared at him blankly. "Brother Shan, are you serious? Where are you going?"

Zhang Shan gave them a big smile. "I realized that the Mecha Department suits me best right now."

Zhang Shan's family was highly engaged in research. Thus, ever since he was young, he had always been involved in research, but deep in his bones, he knew that this was not his true calling. However, before this, he had never even thought of trying something else.

Different people are born with different innate talents. Most importantly, so long as one lives, one can do whatever they want to.

Wang Zheng shook his head. "Teacher Xiao Fei has honored me greatly. The idea was something I just came up with at the spur of the moment. The entire research paper was based on their work and I feel ashamed that I was recognized."

"Wang Zheng, you brat. Everything about you is great except for the fact that you're too humble. Without your revolutionary ideas, even if they were to research more, it would not be of any use!"

Zhang Shan said, as he waved his hands, "You really should give becoming a physicist some thought."

"It is not in my personality to be so calm, and I don't think I can do research. I will continue to experiment and hopefully one day be able to transfer to the Mecha Department," Wang Zheng replied.

Everything he knew about physics was due to the Old Merchant's upbringing. Perhaps his comprehension ability wasn't bad, but he had never created anything new. Neither was he interested in developing in this direction. Wang Zheng had always been very clear with regards to what he wanted to do.

He chased after excitement.

"Ah… I finally understand what it means to be demoralized after being with the lot of you," Chen Xiu replied helplessly. He used to be one of the esteemed geniuses in middle school, but after arriving here, he finally realized that geniuses were everywhere.

"Ailun, Chen Xiu, the two of you are the steady ones. I'm sure the two of you will be able to shake the world in future," Wang Zheng said.

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu glanced at each other before agreeing with the statement made in an exaggerated fashion.

This exaggeration was something often seen in the dormitory. However, in this particular dormitory, everyone was impressive.

Zhang Shan's muscles had become even more defined after the special training. He had become noticeably tanner and calmer.

Zhang Shan's physique was rarely seen. His muscles were packed with explosive power but weren't stiff. He was truly born to be a Mech Warrior.

Comparatively speaking, Wang Zheng's physique was not much worse. If he had not been removed from the special training, Wang Zheng had a pretty good chance of becoming a Mech Warrior. However, now it was just too difficult. Plus, with his performance in the Physics Department, even if he wanted to change departments, everyone would likely protest.

Student Wang had inadvertently created a huge problem for himself.

"Chen Xiu and I will not be demoralized by the two of you. With the undefeated Skeleton God, everything is possible!"

Yao Ailun shouted. Recently, the two of them had been full of energy. These two were very attentive during class and their free time. Their schedules were packed perfectly, and all their free time and entertainment was spent on CT. Every time Skeleton won a game, they were so happy it was as though nothing else mattered.

"The two of you shouldn't spend so much time playing games. It's just a player; why are you two so riled up over him?" Zhang Shan asked. He was completely uninterested in such distractions.

"Zhang Shan, you seem to be quite interested in mecha fights. Why don't you take a look at some videos of Skeleton? I'm telling you, if you research his actions properly, it will definitely help your battle skills."

"Haha, real battle is very different from CT. Such childish games don't fit me. I heard that a lot of people like to play it and it resulted in a decline in their actual skill levels."

Zhang Shan was clearly very stubborn. He was just like the Wang Zheng of before.

However, he was one that was blessed. He had managed to pilot an actual mech, unlike poor Student Wang, who had only ever fixed one.

"Do you have any confidence in this year's competition? I heard that the competitors are all very strong. Do you think you can show us the school's true potential?"

Yao Ailun shrugged his shoulders as he said it. No one could give a full answer to this question.

Zhang Shan smiled wryly. "Don't worry. We won't be any worse than that little Skeleton of yours. We are going to be using real knives and guns. We will definitely defeat the enemies."

"Hehe, if you are missing anyone, remember that I still exist! I still want to be in the reserve team!"

Wang Zheng said.

"Relax. We are all brothers here. I will definitely remember. However, did you truly give up on Meng Tian? That bitch has been training as though her life depended on it these few days. She's a great girl, you know?"

Zhang Shan suddenly changed the topic.

Wang Zheng gave him a bitter smile. "We are just friends. We aren't that close."

"Ah. If I had not met Wang Shishi in person, I would have tried my best to convince you to go after Meng Tian. Such an illustrious girl but yet completely unable to sway you."

Zhang Shan praised without holding anything back.

"Brother Shan, if you like her, you should chase after her," Chen Xiu replied.

"Haha, I have to wait for the right opportunity. I aim to perform well in this competition to impress her. With the exception of Masasi, that unfathomable bastard, the rest are inconsequential."

Although Ma Xiao was famous in Ares College, being the president of the MMA club and the CT club, in Zhang Shan's words, if there was no tiger on the hill, then the monkey would be king[1].

As Ma Xiao was about to graduate, he didn't care about being extraordinary anymore and had become quite lax.

After chatting for a bit, Zhang Shan was asked to go. He had to go for the final drill practices. It was unfortunate that he could not see the envy in Wang Zheng's eyes.

Student Wang felt as though he could not sit still any longer. He truly wanted to go for a spin on the mecha.

"Brother Zheng, where should we go tonight?" Chen Xiu asked curiously.

Yao Ailun looked at Chen Xiu quizzically. "Idiot. He's in his honeymoon phase. How could he accompany us vagrants?"

"Dating sure is fun."

"Wait till you go through puberty."

Before long, Wang Zheng was taking public transportation in town. As he looked at the vibrant evening night life of the city, he had a strange feeling. Living was great. It allowed one to experience numerous interesting things.

In the Rubik's Cube, other than letting him learn numerous skills, he had learned one more thing:

Appreciation.

The boss was still extremely welcoming. He knew that Wang Zheng had already graduated and the distance between Ares College and the café was still quite significant, but he had grown fond of him and often awaited him.

Wang Zheng alone would not cause his business to change significantly. However, meeting such special customers would make him very happy. In addition, he felt that Wang Zheng was a lucky star. Whenever he was around, business would be exceptional.

Wang Zheng logged on and started to stretch his fingers. It was as Zhang Shan said; although CT was fun, it did not have the same sensation on the body as piloting an actual mech, and there wasn't any pressure. However, he had no choice, and if the game was stressful, others wouldn't play it.

An ID watched by numerous players lit up.

An alarm rang out. On the system, it could be seen that numerous Skylinks buzzed into action. CT was the most popular game with the highest number of players in the whole world.

For game developers, player activity in a game was extremely important. Most recently, the number of players in the Asia Region had increased.

Solon had already become the group's team leader and was in charge all day. Regardless of when Skeleton would appear, someone would contact him immediately.

Currently, Wang Zheng had a nine win streak. Such a streak was extremely terrifying. His opponents would become stronger and stronger in terms of both skill and mecha.

In the female dormitory, a sacred land for males.

An Mei was dragging Du Qingqing and Ye Zisu to the competition.

"You and Zisu should just go without me. I have no interest in this," Du Qingqing said.

"Qingqing, this is a team activity. You have to be there. You might even be inspired by it."

"Really? I feel that Wang Zheng's body is even more inspirational," Du Qingqing ridiculed.

"It's a pity. This little stalk has an owner. Oh wait, he's no longer a little stalk, he's a famous stalk."

An Mei said. "Zisu! Just because there's a goalkeeper, it doesn't mean you can't score. We'll support you!"

Ye Zisu seemed quite indifferent to the situation. One couldn't tell if she was feigning it or not. "I have faith that time will tell."

"Zisu, I'm sure you have a trump card hiding somewhere. Why don't you tell us truthfully?" Du Qingqing said as she hugged Zisu. Many guys did not know what was happening in the girls' dormitory. They dressed more casually than guys, so the chances of one spotting a girl walking around in her underwear was higher than seeing a guy do the same in the guys' dormitory.

It was truly stunning.

[1] This means that if there was no one stronger than him, then he would have the opportunity to be the best.
