Caretakers were allowed to send and receive emails via internet.

Wang Tong opened his inbox and saw someone sent him an email, which he did not expect. Obviously, because the people he knew were not that many, and none of them would’ve sent him an email anyway. This single email in his inbox was definitely eye-catchy.

It was a letter from Wang Ben!

Wang Tong smiled joyfully and grabbed his fist as he read the letter. Since the last time he had met Wang Ben, Wang Tong already knew he was good, but never thought that Wang Ben was actually stronger than his expectation.

Wang Ben’s second Mind Opening Operation was a success. The second Mind Opening Operation would usually end up in two ways: one would either failed and died tragically due to mental breakdown, or successfully performed a Burst Opening, which happened when a person channeled and focused the force from the first failed attempt and unleashed it on the second attempt.

Wang Ben nailed it!

The mail was simple yet filled with passion, Wang Ben never mentioned ‘thank you’ in his email, but deep down, Wang Tong was able to feel his gratitude in his words. He asked Wang Tong to set a time, date, and venue; whenever and wherever Wang Tong preferred, and would be there as promised.

That made Wang Tong laugh, it really wasn’t some “life and death duel” promise, and it wasn’t the moment yet for him to show off, but nevertheless, he would love to have a casual fight with Wang Ben anytime at the TPA.

Wang Tong suddenly remembered Samantha, who was having a hard time regarding new admission to Ayrlarng. Since there were no reports regarding Wang Ben’s success, meaning that the news has yet to be made official, and Wang Tong was the first to know it, it would be great if the principal of Ayrlarng could send Wang Ben an invitation of recruitment right before the media released his story of success.

Some time ago, Wang Ben was approached by two famous S-ranked academies, but everything died down right after learning that Wang Ben had failed his first Mind Opening Operation, and he was pretty overwhelmed because of that. Hence, an invitation from Samantha might be able to cheer him up. Still, Wang Tong wasn’t sure if all of this would work, but in the other hand, he wouldn’t want to see Samantha stressed out on her own, if Wang Ben agreed to enroll upon receiving the invitation, then it might be able to lighten Samantha’s burden.

Wang Tong was impetuous on this matter, without much hesitation, he registered a new account using Samantha’s identity and decided to send Wang Ben a letter of invitation under her name; fake or not, it didn’t really matter.

In the end, the letter was prepared and sent to Wang Ben within an hour, and hopefully, he would be able to receive it right on time. A joyful feeling emerged as Wang Tong imagined Samantha would be glad when she knew this.

As for his studies, Wang Tong’s schedule was getting tighter, but somehow, he managed to receive tuition from Ma Xiaoru in between classes, as he had no time to spare at night due to his duty as caretaker. Lucky for him, the life in the military academy was very similar to universities — everything was about preparations and not the pace; hence he was still able to find time for self-studies and leisure.

Wang Tong was getting excited about the Astronautic course in the afternoon. No doubt, hand-to-hand combat with Zergs was fascinating, but as the family motto went: “Never give a damn when you have the chance”, of course, he would never miss out the opportunity to pilot a Space Battlecraft. Even though Zergs were able to evolve and developed abilities to nullify certain energy weapons, they were still not immune to Battlecraft energy weapons, not to mention that the Battlecraft weapons were also customized and modified to counter Zergs Space Hives. Compared to the complicated theoretical lessons, today’s lesson was simple, nothing but practical simulations, which the Command Force students favored a lot. Soon as the teacher left the classroom, the long awaited virtual dogfight finally began! Within minutes, the classroom was filled with “Gun-fires” and “explosions”, everyone was enjoying the excitement.

Everyone except for Wang Tong, who was eagerly practicing every single operating command instead. As a matter of fact, the outer space wasn’t a “safe” battlefield at all! Zergs were still able to surprise human beings with their superior ability to adapt and evolve from time to time, and even developed outer space weaponries that were capable of destroying Space Battlecrafts, which wasn’t funny at all.
