"As for the specifics, I'm not too sure about the rank of Ares College's principal. I think it's not bad. As for you, after causing so much trouble, have you thought of your next step?"
Regardless of the outcome of Titatitan Star, Wang Zheng's record in the military would not be able to escape the label of insubordination. To exaggerate, he could even be sent to the military court for trial. However, the Reformists led by Meng Ao did not back down. A general could not obey the orders of the emperor in battle. Moreover, the situation on Tita Star was so sensitive and ever-changing. No matter what, Wang Zheng had successfully completed his mission and brought glory to the Solar System Federation. From the reports, everyone knew that Wang Zheng had played an important role.
As for the agreement between Wang Zheng and the Tita people, only a limited number of people knew about it. Once it was exposed, it would bring more danger to Wang Zheng than protection.
Meng Ao and the rest could only balance things out. Wang Zheng's fate still depended on his next step.
As for his next step, other than enrolling in Elite Academy X, Wang Zheng had not seriously considered anything else.
"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Lear, Achilles and the rest is?"
Gu Te did not wait for Wang Zheng to reply, but continued. "They have a strong background and can control the mouthpieces of the media. Using this power, they can magnify their own strengths and at the same time, exaggerate their opponents' weaknesses. This is like a nuclear weapon. If you want to be their opponent, without the same ability, as long as you have any weaknesses, you will not be able to retaliate against their attacks."
Wang Zheng blinked and smiled. "Principal, you mean … for me to buy the newspapers?"
Pa! Gu Te heard the sound of his jaw cramping. He was furious. "You are quite humorous, kid. Not bad, your attitude is good. But it is necessary to hide your strength. Do you know what kind of opponent is the scariest? An invisible opponent is the scariest. What you have to do now is to be low key, low key, low key, low key until you are overlooked. When you are invisible, you will be closer to success. "
Wang Zheng nodded. He thought to himself that he was not low key enough. It was always trouble that came to him. Actually, he was not afraid of trouble at all, but he knew that Gu Te had good intentions.
Gu Te lifted his teacup and took a big gulp. He had seen through Wang Zheng. This kid should not have spoken in a roundabout way. Whatever he had to do, he should have just told him directly. That would have saved him the effort.
After chatting with Gu Te, Wang Zheng could finally enjoy the peaceful campus life. It was a pity that he did not get to see Zhang Shan, Meng Tian, and Zhang Runan. They were all interning in the army, and Wang Zheng knew that they had been put in an important position. Wang Zheng was happy for them from the bottom of his heart, especially Zhang Shan.
Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun brought two large bottles of beer into the dormitory and excitedly pulled Wang Zheng up to the rooftop of the dormitory building.
Yao Ailun's hands moved quickly. Pa, pa, pa. Three bottles of beer were opened. "If you don't drink it all, no one is allowed to leave. Cheers to our greatest brother!"
"Brother Zheng, mighty!" It was rare for Little Chen Xiu to be so emotional with others. He was really happy today. The two of them were Wang Zheng's staunchest supporters. Although there was no noise outside, in their hearts, Wang Zheng was the strongest mech warrior in the Milky Way Alliance. Of course, he was also their roommate!
Wang Zheng raised his head and blew the entire bottle dry in one breath.
"Xiu, it's not good for minors to drink."
"Sorry, I'm already 16!"
Little Chen Xiu puffed up his chest and took a big gulp from the bottle. He almost choked. "Keke, it's a pity that Big Mountain isn't here this time."
Yao Ailun also drank a whole bottle. "Big Mountain is famous now. The last time he went back to school, hehe, he flew back in the Alpha Tactical Transport Aircraft. Come, let's drink to him again."
The three of them drank happily and chatted about recent events. Zhang Shan's glory, Zhang Runan's steadiness, Meng Tian's future potential, and Meng Ao's daughter definitely had an advantage. Moreover, Meng Tian also had sufficient ability. With ability and background, there was no way to beat her.
Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were not bad either. Due to Wang Zheng's long absence, Xiao Fei finally set his sights on "normal people" due to work needs. Chen Xiu was chosen to be Xiao Fei's assistant and disciple, and Chen Xiu's performance was commendable. Slowly, he had his own achievements in the physics world.
As for Yao Ailun, he was also outstanding in physics. However, he was paid more attention to because of his growth in the commentary circle. There were even companies that had invited him to endorse products. His blog already had hundreds of thousands of fans, and was heading towards a million fans.
No matter how drunk he was at night, the next day, everything was back on track. He followed the original tone and continued to move forward.
After a few days of peace, Wang Zheng actually felt a little uncomfortable. He had originally been worried that Xiao Fei would look for him, but that woman was already crazy busy. There had been no news for a few days, and she was probably so busy that she had forgotten about Wang Zheng's return.
Regarding this, Wang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. He instructed Chen Xiu again and again not to mention his name when he was Teacher Xiao Fei's assistant. Xiao Fei's research had already entered the later stages. Actually, with Wang Zheng's current level, he could not provide much practical help.
Wang Zheng still had a place he wanted to go.
Alone on the intercity train, the first thing Wang Zheng wanted to see was whether he could buy back the house that the Old Merchant had sold. But after thinking about it, he gave up. This was clearly not a problem of money.
"Senior Gail, you're coming to Earth?"
As he was looking out of the window, Wang Zheng suddenly received an unexpected Skylink call. It was Gail from the Genesis Coffee Club.
Speaking of which, Wang Zheng and Genesis Coffee had first become acquainted because Gail had caused trouble for Wang Zheng. Apart from Old Mu, Gail was the most supportive of Wang Zheng in Genesis Coffee.
"I'm just asking, do you welcome us old guys?"
Gail's temper was still so impatient and fierce.
"Of course I welcome you with both hands raised. But if you come to Earth, it's definitely not my turn to welcome you."
Wang Zheng smiled.
"Haha, you're smart. Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'm not looking for you for anything else. There's a banquet later. If you're free, come over."
"Even if I'm not free, I'll definitely come." Wang Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Alright, then it's settled."
Wang Zheng closed his Skylink. The intercity train had just stopped. They had arrived at the station.
Wang Zheng walked out of the platform. The familiar streets had not changed. At the corner of the street was a Burger King, opposite was a tea restaurant. Wang Zheng had spent his days at these two opposite restaurants. Today, he would eat hamburger, and tomorrow, chicken chop rice.
Walking to the corner, Wang Zheng bought a hamburger and ran to the tea restaurant to order a chicken chop rice. His luck was not bad today. There was watermelon juice for his meal.
The food was still the same, but the waiters were all unfamiliar faces.
Time would always make the familiar become unfamiliar.
After dinner, it was dusk. The sun was setting, casting long shadows. On the road, there were children running. Their laughter made the streets full of life.
Wang Zheng smiled and walked along the familiar road back home. Suddenly, Wang Zheng stopped in his tracks. He stared blankly at the brightly lit bookstore on the side of the street.
Old Merchant's bookstore!
He quickly pushed the door open and entered. Ding dong!
The crisp sound made Wang Zheng's excited heart sink. Old Merchant never used such things. He entered and left the store quietly, saying not to disturb the people reading in the bookstore.
Walking in, the bookshelves outside were filled with current bestsellers and magazines. The bright and beautiful covers were the kind that people would like at first glance.
Inside, there were some reference books, but the level was very shallow.
"Welcome, dear customer. Other than magazines and unopened novels, you can read all the books here. If you don't like physical books, we can provide all kinds of electronic versions." The bookstore's staff came forward. He was a young man in his twenties, probably a part-time student.
"When did this store open?" Wang Zheng asked curiously. Did Old Merchant sell the store?
"Half a year ago. You?"
"Oh, I used to live nearby, but then I moved away."
"So that's how it is. I heard that this used to be a bookstore, but it sold antique books. It's completely different from the physical books we sell now. Although our books also have physical pages, the cover uses a new type of book page technology, which can also achieve some electronic effects …"
The staff enthusiastically introduced the new technology of modern physical books. With a light tap on the cover and a gesture, the cover came to life, showing a scene from a certain chapter of the book.
Under the enthusiastic attack, Wang Zheng also bought two bestsellers. They were not novels, but chicken soup for the soul types …
After walking out of the bookstore, he heard the staff enthusiastically welcome him again. Wang Zheng looked at the two modern physical books in his hands and smiled a little speechlessly.
After walking a few rounds in front of his old house, Wang Zheng took the two bestsellers and boarded the train back to Ares College. Unfortunately, it was rush hour, and the crowded train made him miss Titatitan Star.
Just as he reached the dormitory, he bumped into Yao Ailun, who was out. "I'm going to explain. Oh right, there's a package for you. It's on your bed."
"Alright …" Wang Zheng smiled, but before he could finish, Yao Ailun interrupted him with a surprised look. "This, Wang Zheng, are you alright?"
"Me? I'm fine, what could be wrong? "
"Keke, no, no." Yao Ailun glanced at the two books in Wang Zheng's hands, "Medicine of the Heart" and "The Heart of Success".
What was Wang Zheng buying these two books for? To heal the soul? Or was he eager to succeed? In truth, Wang Zheng had such an outstanding performance in IG, but in the end he had not received anything. There was not even a celebration party. The entire society seemed to have forgotten about him. If it were him, he would have gone crazy long ago.
Yao Ailun was a little worried about Wang Zheng's state. Sometimes society was too unfair. But there were some things that he could not say. At most, they would meet on the rooftop at night and get drunk.
When Wang Zheng returned to the dormitory, he saw a very crudely packaged box on his bed. He could not help but frown. Why did it look … so familiar?
(What's in the box? Those who know the answer can send it to Skeleton's public # public # # account, kuloujingling00. Skeleton will draw the correct partner to join the battle for supremacy in Elite Academy X and fight for the next stage. It was obvious that this character would also appear in movies and games in the future. I'm begging for a monthly ticket, even half a ticket is fine ^ Happy weekend!)
