Due to the integrated warfare contest, Ci Jincheng returned to Planet Seven Lights early. Inside the accommodation, Silin, Knight and Ci Jincheng sat in the living room and watched the past integrated warfare contests.
There were two locations for the integrated warfare. First, they had to gather on an asteroid, planet C-N976, which was overseen by the GAL Army at the border between Sector B and Sector C. The teams from the ten universities would undergo identity checks, be given tools and so on. Then, they would depart for their destination at the same time — another military-supervised asteroid C-N300.
While the trio were watching the video, the door to the accommodation opened, and Lung walked in proudly wearing his trademark singlet, flowery shorts and slippers.
"Hmph hmph, I can participate in the integrated warfare contest like you guys now!"
Kicking his slippers to the shoe rack, Lung walked barefoot to the living room and took out a bottle of cold beer from the fridge. Then, he sat on the sofa like Silin and the other two.
Seeing that Silin and the other two did not respond, Lung shouted in dissatisfaction, "Hey, aren't you curious?"
Silin and the other two looked at Lung at the same time with a 'curious about what' look on their faces.
Lung grinned, "I woke up early in the morning to stop the lord headmaster and ask him to open the back door for me!"
Silin and the other two were speechless. He was the only one who could walk through the back door with such confidence.
Although the name list had not been finalized yet, it was certain that these four would be in the top ten.
The next day, the list of ten candidates was announced on the Seven Lights forum. After seeing the name list and information display, there would be unknown people loitering around Silin and the others' accommodation at every moment, wanting to see what Shadow X's true identity looked like.
Shadow X's information display that everyone was looking forward to was shockingly Douance Silin's name. The first reaction of the Seven Lights students when they saw it was — What the fuck, why is it him?!
At the time, Allen wanted to cry but had no tears. Now he finally understood that he had been tricked by Silin. Other than word games, Allen had also vaguely guessed some things. Sure enough, it was just like what his father had said. He had to trust his first instinct. Otherwise, he would be fooled.
Although the name list that was announced caused a great commotion, in truth, there were not many who objected to it. There were still a lot of people who doubted the news that Silin was Shadow X at first, but they were relieved when they thought about it. After all, he had participated in a military mission, gone to the battlefield, killed black mice, and was familiar with Knight and the others. Even if they wanted to object to it, they would have to consider whether they had the ability to do so.
Since there were no major problems, the higher-ups of Seven Lights quickly made their decision and officially confirmed the list of ten: Fu Luo, Silin, Knight, Sird, Hard, Lung, Pride, Ci Jincheng, Kang Man, Copley.
It was worth mentioning that six out of the ten were new students. It didn't matter if they were specially recruited students or not. In short, if they could achieve a good result in the integrated warfare contest this time, then this phenomenon would be used by Seven Lights as an advertisement.
The day before the integrated warfare competition, the four of them were tidying up in the living room when Silin's communicator suddenly rang. Not long after, Silin walked out.
"I'm going out for a while."
Lung narrowed his eyes, "A date?"
"No." Before he left, Silin even snatched a bag of dried meat from Knight.
"Holy shit, you better return it double when you come back!" Knight yelled at the top of his lungs.
Silin waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
Lung watched Silin leave on a hoverboard and let out a vulgar laugh, "It's not a date? Who would believe that? Guess who Silin is going on a date with. "
"Is there even a need to guess? Of course it's Beauty Sa. He'll definitely give her a goodbye kiss. "Knight opened the cabinet and counted how many bags of dried meat he still had. He planned to bring all of them with him tomorrow.
"Not necessarily. I heard that Ling Long from the research division is a little interested in Silin as well." While saying this, Lung even purposely displayed Ling Long's image for Knight and Ci Jincheng to see, "Not bad, right? She's also an elite of the research division … "
Before Lung could finish, the dormitory's doorbell rang.
"Who would come at this time?" Lung muttered and reluctantly ended his sentence. He turned on the display and looked at the person standing outside the door.
After seeing the image on the display, Knight and Ci Jincheng turned to look at Lung.
Lung raised his hands, "Alright, pretend I didn't say anything."
The person who came was Ling Long.
This was the first time Ling Long came to their dormitory. After entering the room, Ling Long was obviously disappointed when she did not see Silin at first glance.
Ci Jincheng looked at the time, "Silin left for two minutes and twenty-five seconds. Judging by Silin's speed on a hoverboard, you won't be able to catch up."
Ling Long frowned, looked at the decorations inside the dormitory and accepted the water Lung's robot passed to her.
"When is Silin coming back?"
"That I don't know. Who knows what he and Beauty Sa are going to do."
Lung did not know if Knight's words were intentional or not, but when Ling Long heard this, Lung clearly felt the pressure around him become much lower.
The trio pretended that they did not see the pitiful cup in Ling Long's hand that cracked a few times and tidied up the things in their hands. Knight had flipped a singlet over and over again countless times, and he looked pretty busy.
One hour, two hours … three hours passed, and Silin still had not returned.
Silin had left his communicator at the dormitory, so he could not be contacted. Feeling the pressure around Ling Long growing lower and lower, Knight gave Lung a look, and Lung expressed that he could not do anything.
However, after Ling Long received a message, the trio suddenly felt as if spring had bloomed inside the room.
A bright smile appeared on Ling Long's face as she stood up and said, "Silin has gone to Professor Mo's place. It should be a while before he returns, so I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
After Ling Long left, Ci Jincheng said thoughtfully, "She looks a little familiar."
Silin had indeed been summoned by Sir Mo with a call. Since Silin had gone straight to Mo Heng's staff dormitory in Seven Lights instead of the research division, Ling Long had received the news a little later than usual.
Mo Heng was a little dissatisfied with Silin's participation in the Sector Championship, so he asked Silin to assemble another machine before he left. If he passed, then he could participate in the integrated warfare contest. If he failed, then he would have to obediently stay in the research division and assemble machines.
Mo Heng did not ask for a particular machine to be assembled. He allowed Silin to design and choose his own parts to assemble. As the vice headmaster, Mo Heng had a special workshop in the dormitory. There were plenty of parts and equipment, and they were all high-end products.
Silin had spent a lot of thought on this machine, so it took him a little longer than usual to assemble it.
Silin was very satisfied with the machine he assembled. After the assembly was complete, the inspection results were also very satisfactory. There was no regression, and it was still 99.97%. That was why two clear finger marks were left on Silin's face. Silin suspected that he would return to the 'baby fat' stage if this continued.
After leaving Mo Heng's dormitory, Silin went to the research division and tidied up the things in the workshop. When he walked out of the research division, he ran into Theresa, and Theresa said with a smile, "Congratulations to your father for winning the position of heir."
She did not say much, it was just one sentence, but there was too much information contained within it. Everything was understood without words.
It was time to end the mission.
