On a night that was destined to cause many sleepless nights in Copperfield, thousands of miles away in Stuart City …
This time, Divian had specially come to Stuart City to look for Carolyn. The relationship between these two bosom friends was rather good, and would occasionally arrange for a gathering. Naturally, the method of gathering would definitely be different from that of ordinary women.
The two of them engaged in a great battle to their heart's content. However, it was clear that Divian's condition was rather good.
Divian was very strong today. Exceptionally strong, so strong that it was somewhat excessive. During their previous meeting in the OP, Carolyn had already sensed that Divian was in a state of metamorphosis. From the looks of it now, Divian had successfully broken through. Furthermore, it was a breakthrough in all aspects!
Speed, strength, techniques, and even willpower seemed to have risen to a higher level.
After the battle, the two of them had a comfortable hot bath and were currently lying down on comfortable beach chairs to rest. The two super beauties' white and perfect figures were wantonly revealed under their towels. Coupled with their absolutely beautiful appearances, they were more than enough to instantly kill any man in sight.
"Occasionally losing is truly a novel feeling. To us, there aren't many things that can bring us a sense of novelty. Although we seem to have all kinds of resources, the opportunities for us to break through are too few." Divian sighed with regret as she held onto a cup of mixed fruit juice.
"Stop, stop!" Carolyn didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she replied. "How can others live if you complain about having too much? You have to be content. "
Divian smiled. "I'm not being discontented. I'm just sighing occasionally. Speaking of which, you really haven't made any progress in the past half a year. I've heard that you've been in contact with Solomon recently? Is this the intention of your family? "
Carolyn replied with a smile. "My contact with Solomon isn't as complicated as you think. It's just some business dealings. He bought a few runic cannons from us. Recently, he discovered that the cannonballs were a trap. Therefore, he's been thinking about how to fish something out from me."
"That's true. Ever since Old Potter improved the core technology of the runic cannons, it's not something that the Empire can covet. However, aren't you thinking too simply?" Divian said with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. "It's not like your family doesn't have someone in charge. They've purposely sent you out. Furthermore, your opponent is Solomon. I don't believe that the upper echelons of your family have no intentions of matchmaking the two of you."
"Perhaps the family has such thoughts, but I'm not the same kind of person as him. There's no way we can talk about that."
"What does Solomon feel like to you?"
Carolyn pondered for a moment before replying, "He's very ambitious and strong. However, he's too shrewd for a youngster like him. There are times when I feel like I'm talking to my parents, or even my ancestors. It's very tiring. He's the type that won't be controlled by anyone."
"So you like obedient babies, huh." said Divian with a smile. "Like that little lover of yours from Tianjing? What was his name again? How is it? Have you contacted him recently? "
Carolyn gawked for a moment before smiling. With a slight sigh, she said, "If you didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten about it …"
Divian opened her mouth wide in an exaggerated manner. "That can't be, right? We've even talked about it the last time. Didn't you say that you were extremely moved by it?"
"I was indeed moved, but that's all." Carolyn smiled. "That might be a beautiful memory in my life, but it's impossible for anything to happen."
A frown appeared on Divian's face. "Is it because of your identity and status? Family connections? "
"Do you think I'm that shallow?" Carolyn appeared to be more mature and indifferent than ever before. "Even if my family is very annoying, I still have the right to decide when it comes to dating. It's just that …"
She looked at Divian seriously. "Do you think that if I were to really be together with him, we would have a common language? Or would we be able to maintain that beautiful feeling?"
Divian went silent for a moment. With their status and education, what they had received, what they had received, and what they had enjoyed, were far, far superior to ordinary people.
"It's good that you can think that way. Impulsiveness will only last for a moment. As time passes, you might discover his various flaws and inadequacies. Rather than being disappointed at that time, it's better to maintain a beautiful state. It's no wonder that all the fairy tales don't have a continuation." Divian slurped on her fruit juice while swinging her long legs.
A prince and princess living a happy life? No, the two of them would soon get sick of it.
It had to be said that these two heavenly beauties did not care too much about their image when they were together. From time to time, they would reveal a little bit of their skin, causing men to go crazy and women to despair. Fortunately, there was no one else present.
Carolyn gave a faint smile and said, "Perhaps. In fact, it's the same for him. He only treats me as an ordinary person."
One was a student without any family background. Even if she had some talent, she was still destined to work hard for the sake of survival in the future.
The other was a heavenly beauty that had stood at the peak of the Federation since birth. The people she interacted with were all elites from the political and business world. What they talked about was the future development of mankind. It was indeed impossible for these two people to have a common language to talk about. Once this relationship was exposed, even those with a certain background might not be able to endure it, what more a commoner.
This wasn't looking down on them, but reality, a slightly cruel reality.
Can you fight? In the eyes of ordinary people, you might be very amazing, and could even be crowned with the title of a hero. However, in the face of a colossus like the Stuart Family, no matter how good you were at fighting, it would only mean that you were just a hired thug with a higher price.
"There are many things that are usually the most beautiful when they are obscured," said Carolyn in a calm voice. Carolyn calmly said, "Rather than getting too close to him and ruining this beautiful moment, why not let him forever be a memory in my heart? That would be the best outcome."
"I understand. In your heart, he's an unrivalled hero that's capable of anything." Divian stopped the topic. "To sweet dreams!"
The two crystal cups gently clinked together, causing a faint echo to ring out within the luxurious lounge.
That night, Wang Zhong and Old Potter had chatted for the entire night. It wasn't as useless as others had imagined. In fact, the conversation that night had been extremely enlightening for both of them.
To Old Potter, although the little fellow's foundation in rune pattern theory was shallow, his pioneering and creative thinking was many times stronger than his own. While he was still thinking about 'one', this little brat was already thinking about 'three' … however, all of his thoughts were extremely reasonable. On the contrary, Old Potter's way of thinking was too limited. However, it was precisely because Wang Zhong's thoughts were too diffuse that he needed Old Potter to come up with the most crucial technical summary. Furthermore, Wang Zhong's summary and summary always made Wang Zhong gasp in admiration. With the long and short complementing each other, Wang Zhong felt as though he had become a roundworm in Old Potter's stomach, allowing them to chat to their heart's content.
Thus, under the old Potter's coaxing and pestering, as well as threats and promises, Wang Zhong accepted the old Potter's request to write a thesis on the life of rune patterns together with the old Potter, despite not agreeing to stay in Copperfield Academy or to devote himself to research. The old Potter would be the main author, with Wang Zhong only assisting from the side.
Therefore, Old Potter was brimming with enthusiasm as he said that he would start preparing the materials. After that night, he didn't appear for the next few days.
During these few days, the advanced classes were basically in a state of attending classes. There weren't many people who would deliberately mention what had happened that night. Although they were curious, their relationship with Wang Zhong hadn't reached that stage. There were some things that weren't convenient to ask. What's more, everyone had discriminated against him previously. Therefore, it wasn't appropriate for them to suddenly change their attitude and approach him.
Therefore, other than receiving a little more attention when he attended classes, Wang Zhong was basically the same as usual. The only difference was that Tianjing Academy had received special treatment.
It was said that Old Potter had specially arranged a temporary training ground for the Tianjing Squadron outside of the academy. It was a private training ground owned by the Potter Family, and wasn't any worse than the Wild Beast Squadron. The crux of the matter was that the Wild Beast Society was shared by ten squadrons. Here, there were only nine people from Tianjing Academy.
This was one of Old Potter's little tricks. Old Potter felt extremely pained by Wang Zhong's' valuing martial arts' attitude. No matter what, he had to think of a way to get Wang Zhong to devote himself to the great cause of scientific research.
When it came to matters like this, coercion definitely wouldn't work. Instead, it would be more reliable to guide him patiently and patiently. When it came to matters like favors, the more he owed you, the harder it would be for him to reject you in the future. What's more, Old Potter wanted to let him experience the strength of an old researcher. A large training ground with twenty to thirty specialized service personnel would only take a single sentence. Old Potter didn't believe that an outstanding youth like Wang Zhong, who wasn't even twenty years of age, wouldn't have any desire for power.
Indeed, Wang Zhong didn't reject Wang Zhong's offer. Tianjing Academy's current training was still focused on tactical positioning. If he went to the Wild Beast Society, the ten squadrons would be squeezed together. At most, they would be able to do some individual training. This temporary training ground was still very useful. However, even if he took it, great captain Wang Zhong had always been a person who wouldn't hesitate to eat people's mouths. A part of this was due to Ma Dong's influence, and the other part … Assisting in the writing of a thesis required a salary. As for Old Potter's words about the two people's names hanging at the end of the thesis, what kind of enormous benefits this thesis would bring to Wang Zhong, and so on, were too far away to be taken into consideration for the time being.
After arriving at Copperfield City for a few days, the Tianjing Squadron members had more or less gotten used to the rhythm of the city. Recently, Wang Zhong had taken a liking to the library. Sometimes, when he wasn't at the training grounds, training and other matters were basically led by Scarlet and Grai. The two of them had the deepest and most thorough understanding of Wang Zhong's various squadron's tactical positioning. Due to training and revision of what they had learned in Tianjing Academy, it didn't matter if Wang Zhong was present or not.
On this afternoon, Wang Zhong was rummaging through some things in the library. Although Old Potter was the main author of the thesis, since he had agreed to it, he still had to do his job well. Not doing things half-heartedly or carelessly was Wang Zhong's habit.
Old Potter had quite a few unique points when it came to the system of living rune patterns. In the Federation's "Scoffier System of Rune Patterns", he had elaborated on a similar concept. Naturally, it was very vague, and at that time, he had only used the concept of 'living rune patterns' as his argument. It was far from the level of living rune patterns. However, he was indeed the first person in the Federation to break through the previous system of rune patterns and standardized rune patterns. He was the first person to propose that rune patterns weren't the same as the cold and cold 'because and so' relationships found in mathematical formulas.
Therefore, even though Old Potter's argument hadn't received the unanimous approval of the rune pattern scientific community, and he himself hadn't been able to find any valid evidence to support his argument, his viewpoint was still very advanced and his vision was very unique. In the system of living rune patterns, there was a foundation of research that was countless times more solid than Wang Zhong's.
That night, a large portion of the conversation between the two was still in the fumbling stage. The foundational knowledge of living rune patterns had given Wang Zhong a great deal of inspiration. Recently, he had been flipping through Old Potter's works and searching for relevant information in the library.
At this moment, he happened to stumble upon a treasured book titled "Elementary Discussion on Living Rune Patterns". This book was written a long time ago by another famous rune pattern scientist from the Federation's Academy of Sciences. It was specifically aimed at the concept of 'living rune patterns' that Scoffier had proposed. The scope of circulation was very small, and it was basically classified as semi-internal information. Only an institution like Copperfield Academy with such a deep foundation would openly display such a thing in the academy's library.
Just as he flipped through the first few pages, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind. "Hey, what a coincidence. What book are you reading?"
It was Laura. She wasn't the type of woman that frequented the library. It was truly a coincidence to bump into her here.
Wang Zhong chuckled as he flipped over the book in his hand, allowing her to see the name.
"Living rune patterns? Grandfather had previously proposed a new concept of rune patterns. At that time, it seemed to have caused quite a stir. "Although Laura's understanding of rune patterns was average, she still had some understanding of the system that made her grandfather famous. She thought back to that night when Wang Zhong and Old Potter had discussed the so-called 'living rune patterns'. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like the advanced version of living rune patterns.
"So that's what you and grandfather were talking about that day? I've always been curious about it. Grandfather wouldn't say anything even when I asked him. " Laura couldn't help but laugh. "Grandfather never had the chance to verify this theory. It has become a sore point in his heart, and he would mention it several times a year. It couldn't be that you gave him some inspiration in this aspect, right?"
If that was really the case, Laura could understand why Old Potter valued Wang Zhong so highly.
Wang Zhong couldn't help but admire Laura for being able to guess the truth from the book's title. She really was an intelligent woman.
Wang Zhong spread his hands. "I wouldn't dare to call it inspiration. It's just that I came up with an idea that coincided with some of Headmaster Scoffier's ideas."
"You're quite modest." Laura smiled as she sat down beside him.
"I'm just stating the facts. Why, is Student Laura also interested in the theory of living rune patterns?"
"I don't have such elegant and high IQ hobbies as you guys." Laura tossed her hair and smiled. "That's right. In two days, the group training will officially begin. How about it? Do you have confidence in the group battle? Saxon has an arranged battle with you guys. Not only is their Specter Dance Formation unique, but their regular lineup is also quite strong. "
"It's fine as long as you participate in such matters." Wang Zhong replied. "It's not like it's an official competition. We can learn from each other."
"Ah, how can you be so calm? But then again, your skills are quite good. You were actually able to dodge my Instant Flash Soul Bear. "
