12 Fried Dough Sticks and Soy Milk (2/2)
Yan Xiaosu spat out a mouthful of soy milk onto Wang Zheng's face. ”Boss, you are my idol. No, you are simply a statue of god!”
The press conference came to a satisfactory close. Applause resounded, especially because of the last answer. Fried dough fritters with soy milk was the specialty of Asia. This proved Princess' true understanding of Asia and won a lot of people's hearts. Fried dough fritters and soy milk, thanks to the Princess' words, became the latest popular snack of the Milky Way.
The Princes embarked on her return trip. This trip to the solar system was a success. The Princess' beauty and people-friendly image was admired by the people of the solar system and greatly eased the Aslan Empire's tough diplomatic image.
A week after the Princess left, the news' passion also gradually subsided. Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu's lives also returned to normal. Of course, Yan Xiaosu would brag about it from time to time, but no one believed him at all. Although there was that small episode at the birthday banquet, everyone believed that it was just the Princess courageously stepping in to be a savior, teaching a little lesson about bullying.
Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu, this pair of brothers who have overcome many obstacles together, also officially graduated. What was worthy of congratulations was that Yan Xiaosu was formally admitted into Ares College's Star Department of Commerce, while Wang Zheng actively prepared for the military.
”Ah, Little Yu, you are too mean, always disappearing at crucial times!”
Yan Xiaosu complained. This fellow seemed to have gone missing.
Xie Yuxin was another brother of the two of them, but he was different from Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu. Xie Yuxin was a genius with a gene score above 90. He was the only one reported to have entered not just Ares Military College but also the military command line, in the officer bracket.
This was the coexistence of handsomeness and intelligence. Truly a handsome mess. Although his expression was always ice cold, girls still threw themselves at him.
Xie Yuxin placed an envelope on the table. ”Wang Zheng, this is yours.”
”D**n you, don't think we'll let you off with just a letter. If I don't get you drunk today, I'll adopt your family name!” Yan Xiaosu snatched, but was shocked when he saw the envelope.
”This is Ares College's special entrance exam. I can only do so much.” Xie Yuxin smiled, and he only smiled when he was with Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu.
”D**n, my dear Little Yu Yu, I have wronged you. Come, let Brother give you a hug.”
Yan Xiaosu immediately hugged him. In all honesty, no one knew why Xie Yuxin was friends with these two.
”How did you do it?”
”Nothing much. I sat outside of the principal's house for half a month. I thought it would take longer.”
Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu made eye contact and gave each other a thumbs up. Buddy, you are really shining. Who would have thought that when someone as cool and handsome as him acted like a rogue, it would actually convince someone!
”Wang Zheng, I've always felt that gene score was merely a point of reference. Based on your capability, you are more than qualified to enter Ares College.”
Xie Yuxin said. Actually, the three knowing each other was a bit of a contradictory start. Xie Yuxin was the pride of Dawn Middle School, but Wang Zheng showed him that there was no limit in the universe. Wang Zheng's profundity was not something he could compete with, it was just that Wang Zheng's results were not that good.
Wang Zheng was also helpless. The Old Merchant had told him to keep a low profile and only maintain a pass for his examinations. This was to be the case until the day came where he was no longer around anymore.
”Here's wishing success to you!”
”Haha, Boss will surely succeed. Us three brothers must dominate the Milky Way!”
The three raised their beers. This was just a joke of youth, but legends all have their beginnings like this …
”Principal Gu Te, you know I am very busy; there are still a lot of experiments to do!”
Inside the office was a hale and hearty silver-haired old man. This was Ares Military College's 23rd Principal, General Gu Te.
The female, who appeared to be in her twenties, was a known scientist on Earth. She attained double doctorate degrees in space and physics at 13, a genius scientist with a gene score of 98.
”Cough cough, Dr. Xiao Fei, there is a special student. I may need you to find out more about him; apparently he is very talented in physics.”
Gu Te found this doctor in front of him to be quite a headache. Geniuses were always almost quirky, especially those studying space physics.
”Really, you want to waste my precious time?”
Gu Te nodded. Xie Yuxin was his grandson. That little bastard even sat outside his house daily. Gene score should indeed only be used as a reference, but the unspoken rule was that it was used as the first evaluation criteria. In practice, it has proven rather accurate, and also greatly improved efficiency.
If there was a talented person, they would not be missed.
Outside the office, Wang Zheng was preparing. He did not know what the examination was about.
”Come in.”
When Wang Zheng saw the examiner, he stared blankly. She was a female teacher not much older than himself … were all teachers so pretty now?
Xiao Fei pointed at the chair. ”Sit. Firstly, I am contemptuous towards your unorthodox means of entry. I hope you are not wasting my time. Let's get straight to the point: talk about your views on space.”
Xiao Fei was very arrogant, and she did not like these kinds of things. But the principal was the principal after all, so she had to give him a bit of face. Besides, this was related to her research and development funding.
Wang Zheng composed his thoughts. This question was too broad, but he had discussed it a lot of with Old Merchant.
”I personally think that space technology is the main direction of human development, which depends on the establishment of the framework of space theory. The current mainstream space theory is slightly one-sided … Curvature theory is only a shallow understanding of space. The future direction of mankind must be space jumping and folding, and I think some parts of the parallel space theory can be taken out, specifically the ones integrated into the current space system. Some parts of the theory are a bit too far ahead of us, but some can be studied in the present. ”
Wang Zheng also did not care and went on a lengthy spiel, finishing his and the Old Merchant's discussions. To think that they initially had fought and argued so much. Old Merchant was too stubborn; he treated the alternate school of thought with disdain. On the other hand, Wang Zheng felt that it was the best fit.
