Chapter 79 (1/2)
Chapter 79: College Office
The “G.o.ds and Demons” game had just left beta 3 1/2 months ago. But the mission to find the sphere was issued out perhaps several decades ago. If Myth was really created from the sphere, then what was those so-called great nation governments doing all these years? Researching how to turn it on?
This was also a possibility but actually, the smart brain Myth was something that was beyond this era’s science and technology. It’s not easy to try to study and understand it but there was a point that could not be understood. If the smart brain Myth really was a relic of an alien civilization, its importance was self-evident. Why was it used to be the brain of a game server? Wasn’t it too trifling of a matter?
Establis.h.i.+ng a virtual world could create great economic benefit but it would not develop the whole human civilization. The coalition of world powers would not limit their vision in this regards. What was their purpose in the end?

A day later, a flight from the Norris City ascended in a thundering roar. Zhou Jian had finally concluded his tour to the Amazon.
Norris City was known as the jungle hunter city. Every year, there would be hundreds of thousands of jungle hunters and employers from all over the world rus.h.i.+ng towards here. So, although the size of Norris City was not much, but its airport actually extended in all direction. Because the direct flight to Hong Kong would arrive at 1 am, but the flight to Huadu would arrive at afternoon on the same day, Zhou Jian’s final choice was to fly to Huadu.
By the time he returned to Lingnan University, the time was already 5:30 pm. At this time, it had been more than a week since Zhou Jian asked Zuo Rong Rong for his leaves. There’s also eight days left before the final exams of the Lingnan University. The final exams for the freshmen were very early in the first semester because there was also military training included in the test. And Lingnan province weather was burning hot. In the summer, it was easy to suffer heat stroke during the military training. Previously, there was a case where a student fainted during the military training and fallen off and cracked his head.
The school authorities feared that an accident would happen sooner or later. So, they changed it to winter training. In fact, military training in the winter was not necessarily better because the winter in the Lingnan was only 7 to 8 degrees Celcius. And because the air was moist, it felt especially cold. If there was winter rain, it would felt even colder. Military training on a cold rainy day was especially draining on the soul.
Zhou Jian wanted to slip to the dormitory that’s after the school office building. He observed for a while and after determining that Zuo Rong Rong was not there, he tried to hurry but he did not think that before he could pa.s.s through the building, a clear female voice resounded from his back: “Zhou Jian!”
Zhou Jian heard this voice and almost somersaulted on his back. Could he really have such bad luck? This was already 5:30 PM. It’s already half an hour after working hours. You, this old maid, did not go to go for a window shopping date but stayed behind in the office. It’s real that enemies often crossed each other’s path.
Zhou Jian forced a smile and with profound respect, he turned around and humbly greeted: “Teacher Zuo, what a coincidence.”
“Hmmm, a little unfortunate. I saw you through the window in the office.” Zuo Rong Rong raised her chin slightly. She seemed like she had an expression that wanted to fight.
Zhou Jian laughed hollowly. “Teacher Zuo must be vigilant and look carefully around in all directions. This is practice to monitor during exam time.”
“Are you trying to patronize me? Just you wait, I’m your invigilator for this final exam. If you dare to cheat under my nose, hmmm…”
Zuo Rong Rong thought that her threat was on point. But Zhou Jian also complied with the meek look. “Teacher Zuo really took your job seriously. It’s already so late but you still haven’t gotten off work yet. Then, did you not want to eat?”
“It’s useless to give me a high hat to wear. (tl: to flatter someone) I am not in a hurry to eat. Come with me.” Zuo Rong Rong said and turned around to enter the office building.
Zhou Jian groaned. This Zuo Rong Rong was the reincarnation of Zhuo Zhiruo who had grown twenty years, which was to say, just like another Nun Miejue. (tl: lol, Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber reference. The nun was a heartless b***h, and Zhiruo grew up to follow her footsteps.)
When they arrived at the student work office, Zuo Rong Rong pulled out a piece of paper and slammed it at the table. She coldly said: “Fill it out.”
