Chapter 241.1 – Granddaughter’s Husband?
If traditional rune patterns were able to become widespread due to industrialization, then one could say life rune patterns wouldn’t be suited to follow it. w.a.n.g Zhong didn’t plan to overly explain and break down this life rune pattern array as it belonged to Aioros in the end. Even so, this process of comprehension had benefited both w.a.n.g Zhong and Old Potter a great deal. Especially for the latter, as he already possessed outstanding knowledge and depth of understanding on the subject. Old Potter gave w.a.n.g Zhong a clearer understanding of the essence behind the little spatial pouch which allowed him to learn much.
w.a.n.g Zhong’s own understanding of s.p.a.ce was built on the academic foundations provided by the academy, along with his own view of the dimensions from Simba. As he studied the Federation’s basics on the matter, he had already determined that such a high level of understanding wasn’t something ordinary students and teachers possessed. This was before he met someone like Old Potter. If he hadn’t met him, then everything he said would’ve been regarded as heretic.
One old and one young continued to chat with a frenzy. At this moment, Laura arrived with an antique purple teapot in hand. Those two had already forgotten about the time and there was nothing else present in their eyes other than the subject of their conversation. They didn’t even notice Laura when she walked over to them and poured them each a cup of tea. But it was just as she was doing so that a single sentence nearly made her slip and fall.
What had happened was Old Potter nodding his head repeatedly before turning a thousand words into a single sigh and sentence; “Listening to the words of a wise man is truly superior to studying ten years of books!”
Laura’s hands turned limp for an instant and she nearly dropped the precious purple porcelain pot in her hands.
This, this… is this really grandfather, the one who dared to scold the Federation’s chairman? Furthermore, this statement was actually spoken to a youth around her age! Exactly who was w.a.n.g Zhong? Rune patterns having lives? What the h.e.l.l?
Laura was completely stupefied and stayed in that state until Old Potter sighed once more with deep emotion as he said, “w.a.n.g Zhong, your understanding towards the lives of rune patterns truly makes me…”
It was only then that old Potter noticed Laura’s presence. With a casual wave of his hands, he signaled Laura to come over quickly. “I’m really having a hard time thinking where exactly a little braniac like you sprouted from. You even give me a feeling like you’re looking down upon me from an incomparably high place. If not for me personally hearing you speak, I wouldn’t have believed it. Although that fellow, Moore, is quite alright on the creation of weapons, he isn’t on this level.
“w.a.n.g Zhong, you’re really an extraordinary brat. Even with such limited information available to you, you were actually able to reach such a high level of understanding on the topic. Do you have any interest in joining my research team?” Old Potter was the kind with a quick temper. As he approached the topic, his poaching heart was quickly lit.
With a smile, w.a.n.g Zhong said, “I have just a bit of interest in rune patterns. But in the end, I want to become a heroic soul soldier. If you just let me do research for too long, I’ll become no different from everyone else.”
Old Potter wasn’t one to easily give up. “Don’t reject me so quickly, ok? Let’s just use this period of time and have you give it a try.”
“I’m afriad that’ll be hard considering I still have to partic.i.p.ate in the lessons of this special training.”
Old Potter almost choked on his tongue as he tried to sc.r.a.p together a reply. “Special training? That playing session isn’t very important. Why do you care about the influence from the academy? I’ll help get you a special case absence slip. In fact, that won’t even be necessary—”
“I still have to attend ordinary training,” w.a.n.g Zhong said with a smile. “The CHF is just around the corner and our Tianjing Squadron wishes to obtain a good ranking. I can’t just skip training.”
“Are you joking with me, little fella?” Old Potter stared at w.a.n.g Zhong with wide eyes, an incredulous expression on his face. “How can you lump that killing business together with the big things we are about to do and achieve?”
This tone…
Hearing Old Potter’s words, w.a.n.g Zhong really had nothing to say. They definitely held different levels of importance toward the topic. Different people had different aspirations. Still, refusing now would appear rude and impolite. “Our Tianjing Academy placed all its hopes and dreams on the shoulders of our squadron. We—”
