Silin did not leave immediately. Even though Huimao refused to budge and even threatened to go on a hunger strike, Silin did not change his mind. That was because after this large-scale test, Silin still had an elective course to attend. The instructor for this course was a well-respected old professor. He was quite good at academics, unlike some academicians in the Royal Academy of Sciences who wore academic hats and fought with politicians all day long.
Of course, the reason why Silin chose to attend this old professor's course was not entirely because of his character. More importantly, it was because of the content that the old professor taught.
The course this time was about audio interference and signal assimilation. Many students were not interested in this aspect, so there were not many who chose this course. The class was also a small one.
A true teacher would do his best even if there was only one student sitting in class. This old teacher was such a person. Although there were only a dozen or so people in the class, the old teacher was still as passionate as ever, and the content of the class was very beneficial to Cillin.
The processed audio signal could affect other signals within a certain range. In class, the old tutor did an experiment. He played an audio signal, and the dozen or so students in the classroom turned on their communicators. Under the influence of this signal, the brightness and image displayed on the communicator's holographic screen jumped at the same rhythm. At the same time, a kind of bewitching power that made everyone's pulse almost synchronized was spread out by this audio signal.
This feeling was very familiar to Silin. In the League of Stars, the Hunter Group liked to use this kind of audio signal as a group music. The way the Hunter Group appeared with this prelude signal was indeed very cool.
However, what Silin was more concerned about was how much this audio signal could be expanded and how many places it could be used.
Every time the class ended, it would be resumed after a period of time. This time, because the old professor had something else to do, he adjusted the course and brought forward the next class. Therefore, Silin had to stay at the affiliated school for a few more days.
After the first class, Silin returned to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Huimao lying on the ground, moaning and groaning. It looked like it was about to collapse from diarrhea.
Since Huimao had been protesting against Silin's decision to postpone his departure for the past two days, Silin was no longer surprised by its behavior.
Hunger strike?
Cillin shot it a glance before walking past the gray cat that was pretending to be weak on the ground while holding the electronic notebook that contained his lecture notes. "I told you many times to lick the crumbs off the side of your mouth after you're done stealing food. Besides, although I'm not a feline, I have a good sense of smell. I can smell the fishy smell from far away when you yawn. "
Huimao: "… Humph!"
He stopped pretending. Huimao crawled up from the ground and scratched Silin's pant leg, turning Silin's pant leg into a noodle shape.
"Also," Silin poked Huimao's round head, who was scratching his trouser leg, "Don't think I don't know what's going on with the screen flashing like it was having a spasm today!"
Huimao pulled its ears back and didn't reply. It was just venting a little. Who told the teaching device to be so useless!
"How many more days do you need?" Ever since Gen Xingming and the others left, Huimao often made long-distance video calls with them. Gen Xingming and the others had been enjoying themselves outside every day and showing off in front of Huimao, which made Huimao so angry that it went to bite the scale that the black adder had gifted it to grind its teeth.
Who knew if the black adder would regret it when it saw that the scale it gifted to Huimao was used to vent its anger.
"Five more days. The next class has been brought forward."
"Five days …" Huimao continued to pretend to be weak on the ground. It was too much of a blow to the cat. It had been so bored lately that it had a toothache. It swore on the few fish biscuits it had in stock that it didn't bite the scale!
"Then what are we going to do in the next five days?" Huimao rolled around on the ground. The affiliated school was so boring. It seemed like everyone and every animal was busy. If there were no classes, then there were missions. People like Gen Xingming and the others who had neither classes nor missions would just go out and enjoy themselves.
Silin paused for a moment before saying, "Then let's go back to the Gen Family and take a look. I wonder if that little pet of yours is still throwing a tantrum."
Silin didn't go back to the Gen Family last time because time was too tight. He only video-called Genya for a bit. As for Huimao's pet sea beast, it had grown up again. Genya's yard was too small, so he put it directly into the artificial sea. Only the Fuji Royal Gen Family, with their background and financial power, could easily build an artificial sea.
Genya built a small yard next to the artificial sea and watched the sea beast play with the fish inside it every day. However, the sea beast seemed to be throwing a tantrum because Silin and Huimao didn't visit it. It often sprayed seawater into some of the buildings around the artificial sea or howled in the middle of the night, making people complain all over the place. It wasn't afraid that people would cook it and eat it because Genya was its backer.
Huimao became spirited when he heard that they were going back to the Gen Family. Even if the Gen Family wasn't fun, it was still a lot better than the affiliated school. The restrictions of the affiliated school were too troublesome, so it was better to visit the Gen Family's pet and get some fresh fish from Genya …
Silin quickly packed up his things under Huimao's urging. He left the affiliated school for the Gen Family's main residence after saying goodbye to Guan Feng.
The guard fleet of the main residence only did a routine inspection when they saw Silin. They treated Silin very well and even sent someone to escort him to Genya's place.
The blue sea was very eye-catching in the middle of the green area. Although it was smaller than the sea Silin had seen before, the quality of the seawater was still pretty good.
Genya had planted a couple of Fuji Trees in Genya's new yard. They weren't as big as the ones in his yard, but they were growing pretty well. They didn't look dull when they were planted together.
Genya was very happy to see that Silin had returned. He didn't ask what Silin had been up to recently. Silin had his own path to walk, and no one could interfere with it. Genya also believed that Silin would be able to take care of his own business. Children and grandchildren had their own happiness, and Genya had long since regarded Silin as his own grandson. He didn't expect Silin to achieve anything great in the future. All he wanted was for Silin to live and be happy.
Many times, parents and elders had high expectations for their children, but in reality, their bottom line was very low. Living well was their bottom line. Genya had experienced too many things in his life that no one else knew about. No one, not even Gen Liao, would be able to get the answers out of him if he didn't tell them.
After experiencing so many things, Genya enjoyed a peaceful life like this very much. Silin and Genya sat together in the yard by the sea. They didn't need to talk, they just sat there quietly. It was better than anything else.
At first, the sea beast howled loudly when it saw Silin and Huimao. After that, Huimao and Blueskin went to other parts of the artificial sea to play around.
Even if the sea beast didn't grow under natural conditions, it might've been influenced by spending too much time with Huimao when it was born. To borrow Bel's mother's words, the sea beast had grown crooked.
As it turned out, Belle's stubbornness was contagious.
When Cillin saw the sea beast pretending to be a seal and swinging its tail to catch the fish the gray cat threw at it to eat, he suddenly remembered the saying "do not wash one's dirty linen in public". It was fortunate that they were in this place. If they were somewhere else, especially those planets that were rich in sea beasts, they would laugh their heads off.
"Oh right, you said you're going to attend Ulaganuo's cousin's wedding?" Genya asked.
"Not really. Gen Xingming and the others dragged me there to have some fun. Ulaganuo even gave me his entry pass." Silin took out the entry pass and showed it to Genya.
The bride and groom weren't the only ones who handed out entry passes in the upper nobility's circle. Most of the people behind the bride and groom were the ones who gave out entry passes. No matter what, profit was always the priority. Many of the guests invited by the elders were people the bride and groom hadn't even met before. They were only introduced to each other by the elders, and then everyone would greet them with a smile like they were old friends.
That was why when Ulaganuo asked for the entry pass and invitation from the organizer, they were overjoyed. They wanted nothing more than to stuff everything into Ulaganuo's hands. After all, as a prince, the people he knew and the people he socialized with weren't just ordinary people.
Genya looked at the name and words on the card and smiled, "Oh, the bride is from the Gleason Family!"
The Gleason Family had a lot of influence in the military. In fact, they were no weaker than Teita and the Yurong Family. Both the Gleason Family and the Yurong Family were big shots in the military.
"The Gleason Family, huh …"
Genya told Silin about the Gleason Family, but that was all in the past. Genya knew a little about the current situation, but it wasn't very detailed. Still, judging from the past, the Gleason Family wasn't too bad. They were very strict with their children's education, unlike the other nobles who raised a bunch of good-for-nobles.
"You can go take a look and give them a gift. The Gen Family will send someone there too, but it won't be a core member." After all, the bride with the Gleason surname wasn't a core member of the Gleason Family. If she really was a core member of the Gleason Family, the old general Gleason would've sent an invitation directly to the three kings.
Although the three kings didn't go, three princes did sneak over. As for the word "sneak" that Gen Xingming emphasized, it was probably more like taking off one's pants and farting. All three of them were familiar faces among the upper nobles, and they could guess the origins of the other two as soon as they recognized one of them. It wasn't hard to imagine how much they were enjoying themselves right now.
"Master Second Grandpa …" Huimao climbed ashore and shook off the water. Then, he ran over and jumped onto Genya's lap so that he could wipe his fur.
"How much fish did you eat? Don't kill all the fish in here, "Genya said with a smile as he wiped Huimao's fur.
"I didn't eat much. It was all Blueskin."
Silin looked at the frequency at which Huimao's whiskers were trembling and knew that the guy was definitely lying. When this guy lied, his ears would subconsciously move to the sides, back, or lower. His whiskers would also tremble at a specific frequency.
Blueskin was the scapegoat.
Hearing that Genya wanted Silin to go out and make more friends, Huimao pointed his paw at Silin, "Look, even Master Second Grandpa said that, but you're still stubborn!"
Silin raised an eyebrow and grabbed the fur on the back of Huimao's neck as he walked towards the other side of the sea.
In a parabola … plop!
When Huimao climbed ashore again, he purposely rolled around on the sand and rubbed against Silin's clothes, covering Silin's body with sand and seawater.
Genya was amused watching from the side.
Five days later, after Cillin had returned to the affiliated school to attend that elective course, the gray cat immediately bit his trousers and dragged him out of the house. This fellow couldn't hold back at home, and the moment it was bored, it would look for something to do. And the thing that the gray cat looked for was to eat. It ate everything, mechanical, organic, everything.
Raising such a cyborg cat with such a wide diet was seriously torturous. Hunger strike was bullsh * t after all!
After packing up his things and grabbing Genya's gift, Silin jumped onto the spaceplane he borrowed from Guan Feng with Huimao under his arm and flew towards the star map coordinates Gen Xingming had given him.
The destination planet had been decorated very well because of this wedding. Although the two parties involved in this wedding didn't mean much to the three kings, it was still quite famous among the upper class nobles. When they discovered that all three princes were attending the wedding, those who weren't planning to send their children to the wedding immediately called their children over to interact with the three princes and the other upper class nobles. Even if it was just to make them familiar with each other, it would still be good.
From space, the entire planet was decorated. Some of the big heart-shaped patterns were visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that a lot of effort had gone into these decorations. The planet wasn't big, but it was beautiful and full of flowers. Unlike the "Little Garden" planet Silin saw in the League of Stars, this planet had a longer history. It was a private scenic planet owned by Ulaganuo's cousin's family.
Most of the ships that came to the wedding were family fleets, and all of them had their family emblems printed on their starships. It was as if they were afraid that no one would know who they belonged to.
Compared to these fleets, Silin's tiny spaceship seemed insignificant. There were a few large spaceships next to them that weren't starships, but they were still large spaceships with gorgeous appearances. When the people on those spaceships saw Silin's tiny spaceship without any emblems, they all sneered.
"Are they here to attend the wedding too?"
"No way? They must be some family's errand boy. "
"Even the spaceships used by our family's servants are bigger than this one."
"Our house is the same, and it looks much more luxurious, not as shabby as yours."
"Which family is this guy from?"
Some people asked each other through their communicators, but no one admitted to anything.
"Sigh, who would admit to something like this? It's pointless to ask. "Some people felt that they had seen through the truth of the matter, and they spoke with an inscrutable tone.
As soon as this statement was made, many people echoed it in agreement.
Silin and Huimao stared at each other as they listened to the communication they had stolen from the device.
How could Guan Feng's proud spaceship be criticized like this?! One had to know that this spaceship was the work of Guan Feng and an engineering scholar from the Royal Academy of Sciences. If Guan Feng knew about this, he would've taken his new PURGATORY Thunder Snake S and shot these people to death.
Guan Feng was a man like this. It was fine to criticize other people, his character, and some of his misdeeds, but you couldn't criticize his work for no reason. If you criticized them blindly and couldn't find a reason for it, Guan Feng would fly into a rage.
"These people really don't know what's good for them. How dare they flaunt such a trash spaceship!" Huimao said disdainfully.
A pause later, Huimao wagged his tail and grinned. "Should we give them a greeting gift, Silin?"
