However, Zhou Wen didn't think too much about it. What others thought had nothing to do with him. All he wanted was to get good results in the combat test at the college entrance examination and enter a famous school. Then, he could game well until he graduated and find a job that allowed him to come into contact with dimensional zones.
However, there was something that bothered Zhou Wen. He had never thought about how An Jing had defeated him. With Fang Ruoxi's reminder, he felt that something was amiss.
An Jing was about the same age as him, perhaps even younger. However, it was very likely that she was already a Legendary expert. Although there was only a difference of one level, the difference between a Mortal and a Legendary was like night and day. It was nearly impossible for someone at the Mortal stage to defeat a Legendary expert.
The most obvious sign was that only Legendary experts had a chance of obtaining Companion Beasts. And it was very difficult to obtain Companion Beasts at the Mortal stage. Even if one obtained a Companion Egg, they didn't have enough Primordial Energy to incubate it.
There were also many invisible differences. For example, after humans advanced to the Legendary stage, they would awaken a Legendary Life Providence. That augmented their physique greatly, further widening the gap between the Mortal stage and the Legendary stage.
Unless there was a reason that forced them to take action, the typical Legendary expert wouldn't even bother to attack someone at the Mortal stage. However, An Jing had taken the initiative to challenge a Mortal stage student like him. Furthermore, she had transferred schools not long after the challenge. No matter how he looked at it, it was as though she had specially come to beat him up.
I've never left Guide City my entire life. How could I have offended such a figure? Could it be Dad … No matter how Zhou Wen thought about it, there seemed to be only one possibility.
Zhou Wen's mother had passed away during childbirth. He had grown up in a single-parent family, and his father was extremely unreliable.
Zhou Wen's father's name was Zhou Lingfeng. Just like his name, he was a man who resembled the wind. From the age of five, Zhou Wen learned to be alone. He even knew how to cook simple meals, do the laundry, do the housework, and go to the supermarket to buy things.
And his unreliable father claimed that this was to nurture his survival skills as a man from a young age. This was also the capital he needed to get a wife in the future.
Although his unreliable father was extremely lazy, the only thing that comforted Zhou Wen was that Zhou Lingfeng never skimped on his living expenses.
Zhou Lingfeng worked as a translator and was proficient in many languages. When he was young, he would often translate documents at home. But as time progressed, the translation software became more and more powerful, and Zhou Lingfeng's work gradually decreased.
Later on, when Zhou Wen grew older and became more independent, Zhou Lingfeng took on some on-site translation jobs. He would often head out, sometimes for about a week, and sometimes for two to three months.
It was even more ridiculous this time. Zhou Wen hadn't seen him for half a year. If he hadn't transferred his living expenses to Zhou Wen's account on time every month, Zhou Wen would have been worried that he had died outside.
This was because Zhou Lingfeng would sometimes go to relatively remote areas where communication was terrible. It was common for him to lose contact with his phone, so Zhou Wen was already used to it.
Even if he was not used to it, there was nothing he could do. Aside from waiting for Zhou Lingfeng to return, there was nothing he could do.
With only the two of them in the family, Zhou Wen didn't have the chance to offend someone like An Jing. Therefore, Zhou Wen suspected that his father, Zhou Lingfeng, had offended someone, and since they couldn't find Zhou Lingfeng, they decided to vent their anger on him.
Zhou Wen had no confidence in his father's character at all. He was a glutton who loved to have fun. He often frequented places like bars. In the past, he had seduced many chicks and ended up being chased and beaten up by their men.
If not for Zhou Wen's strong survival skills, he suspected that Zhou Lingfeng wouldn't have been able to raise him alive.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard his phone ring. It gave the spaced out Zhou Wen a fright. He took out his ordinary phone and saw that it was his father, Zhou Lingfeng.
I really get what I want. Zhou Wen hurriedly picked up the call. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhou Lingfeng's voice. "Son, I'm getting married. Are you coming to my wedding?"
Thankfully, Zhou Wen hadn't drunk any water, or he would have spat it out.
"You're getting married? Who are you getting married to? " Zhou Wen didn't mind Zhou Lingfeng getting married again. After all, Zhou Lingfeng had been single for so many years. It was normal for him to find a partner. Furthermore, after getting married, he might not be as unreliable as he was now. It might even be a good thing.
"I'll send you a photo of Little Sweetheart," Zhou Lingfeng said. Without waiting for Zhou Wen to say a word, Zhou Lingfeng hung up the phone and sent a photo over.
Zhou Wen glanced at the photo on the phone and saw that it was a photo of Zhou Lingfeng and a woman. The woman looked to be in her thirties at most. She was elegant and beautiful with a rather good bearing. She was different from the so-called beauties on the Internet. This woman had an intellectual beauty and an indescribable unique bearing.
"How is it? The new mom I found for you isn't bad, right? Her name is Ouyang Lan, "Zhou Lingfeng said smugly as he called again.
"Not bad, but she's not my mom," Zhou Wen said.
Although he didn't mind Zhou Lingfeng getting married again, he was already an adult. He had no plans of acknowledging another mom. After all, Zhou Lingfeng wasn't usually at home. He was already used to living alone, and the woman might not welcome a burden like him. It was good for them to live their own lives.
"My wife is obviously your mom. It's an undeniable fact. By the way, son, it's my wedding in a few days. You have to attend it, alright? "Zhou Lingfeng said indifferently, as though he didn't care about anything.
"Where is it? When? "Zhou Wen asked.
"Luoyang. About a week from now," Zhou Lingfeng said.
"It's the college entrance exam in a few days. The time you mentioned happens to be during the combat test. I plan on participating in the combat test, but there's a time conflict. I can't go even if I want to," Zhou Wen said helplessly.
He was willing to attend the wedding, but he really couldn't go this time.
"Time really passes quickly. You're about to take the college entrance exam." Zhou Lingfeng clearly didn't remember the matter as he sighed when he heard that.
Zhou Wen didn't have any expectations for Zhou Lingfeng, but he still felt a little disappointed when he heard that. Perhaps Zhou Lingfeng had even forgotten that he was graduating from high school this year.
"Dad, do you know that there's a metal biscuit box in our cloakroom?" Zhou Wen suddenly asked.
"Biscuit box? What biscuit box? "Zhou Lingfeng asked in puzzlement.
"It's a biscuit box made of metal that's about thirty centimeters long. On it is a cartoon bear …" Zhou Wen carefully described the biscuit box's characteristics.
"That's a bear biscuit box. I often ate it when I was young, but that brand of biscuit is no longer sold on the market. Our biscuit box might have been left behind in the past. Why are you asking?" Zhou Lingfeng asked.
