Chapter 633: Master, Let's Have a Deep Conversation

This little b*stard was pretty daring after all. How audacious of him! It went without saying that Xiao Fei did not actually know Wang Zheng’s true motives, but she was willing to numb herself in order to give herself an excuse; a reason for her to work without restraint. This was the only way she could relieve herself from her heavy burden of guilt.

In actual fact, her heart had already completely accepted this and she was feeling extremely carefree. Her train of thought became much clearer and what she was concerned about was not her own failure at all. There were no successful scientists that were not paranoid. They firmly believe in their own understanding of the world; external factors were always what ended up interfering with them.

“I accept your suggestion. Now then, master, we should discuss what to do next.” Xiao Fei lovingly battered her eyelids.

Goosebumps ran through Wang Zheng’s body. This was… way too scary.

“Ahem, Professor Xiao Fei. At present there aren’t any results yet, so it would be better if we continued to speak normally.” From her demeanor, Wang Zheng could tell that Xiao Fei had recovered. He had better keep his distance. For all he knew, this witch would take her revenge on him.

“No leaving. I want to take a good nap. Stay by my side and think about how to earn money in the mean time!”

Xiao Fei’s voice lowered in pitch as she fell into Wang Zheng’s embrace. She slid down as though paralyzed and rested her head on Wang Zheng’s thigh. Her breathing was heavy and well-balanced.

She had already fallen into a deep slumber. She had lost track of how long it had been since she had such a good sleep.

Wang Zheng smiled and extended his arm to pull her loose hair strands back behind her ears. Her pale face had a certain softness to it. It was rather curious that even this witch had such a tender side to her.

Wang Zheng fidgeted slightly, intending to move Xiao Fei to the bed. After the smallest of movements, he noticed that Xiao Fei had furrowed her brows. Her two hands hugged Wang Zheng’s thigh much like how a little girl would hug her oversized pet. She was as determined as a child refusing to let go of her favourite doll, causing Wang Zheng to stop in his tracks.

In this moment, Xiao Fei was not the all-powerful witch tutor he knew – she was a woman.

However, growl…

Student Wang Zheng’s stomach grumbled in disappointment. He missed his meal because he went to meet Xiao Fei. Recently, his training had been intense too…

Wang Zheng opened his Skylink. Hmm, who was going to deliver a meal to me?

Zhang Shan?

Forget it, if Zhang Shan was to see this scene, Wang Zheng would never hear the end of it.

Snow Li was around, but after 0.5 seconds of hesitation, Wang Zheng chose to pass. Xiao Fei was already a well-practiced witch while Snow Li was definitely still learning to become one. Wang Zheng’s rational choice was to not let the two of them meet.

On a chessboard, the kings never meet.

TL Note: Two individuals who are destined not to meet.

In the end, Wang Zheng decided to starve, treating it as an excuse to give his digestive system a break.

Teacher Xiao Fei was not only in a hurry when she arrived; she was in a rush to leave as well. She woke up bright and early the next day. Even if there was no time to meet up with Gail and the rest, Wang Zheng originally intended for her to at least have breakfast and take a small tour around Elite Academy since she was already here. However, this was clearly not in Xiao Fei’s nature. After getting enough sleep and getting rid of her worries, she was completely recharged and wanted to take on her challenges while she was still full of passion. There was no time to waste here at all, so all Wang Zheng could do was to send her off from Inner Roland.

Xiao Fei wanted to take the earliest flight back to Earth. Working to the point of fatigue was not always the right approach. Sometimes it was more appropriate to loosen up in order to gain a new perspective on things. This was definitely a fact, for Xiao Fei’s train of thought had become clear in this short amount of time, allowing her to come up with several new approaches that were worth trying.

Xiao Fei was most charming when she set aside her distracting thoughts.

Right before leaving, Xiao Fei gave Wang Zheng a sincere hug, “Little brat, I already belong to you after all, so go make a billion for me.”

Student Wang’s first thought was that she really treated him like a bank. Even if he was a good swindler it was not that easy. The incident with Ai Xiaolu was totally random; it would be difficult for him to get another large loan like this.

It was a pity that when it came to these matters, as a scientist Xiao Fei did not care. She reverted back to her original witch persona and cared only about the results, without any regard for the method and process used. She was counting on Wang Zheng anyway. His logic was sound after all, since she belonged to him, the final results were also his, so it did not make any sense for him to not put in any effort.

Wang Zheng could only bitterly laugh at this. While Xiao Fei was now free of her worries, his troubles had only began and he still had to prepare for his competition. This was… so stressful…

However, as he watched Xiao Fei leave with such vigor, it all seemed worth it anyway. As for the issue with the money, there seemed to be a saying that any problems regarding money were not truly problems.

… who was the b*stard who said this? This person had clearly not walked a mile in another’s shoes.

Inner Roland, Black Tortoise Region.

The environment here had an ambience that was different from that of Azure Dragon Region. It was tense yet orderly. On the pathways of the academy there was not a single idle person; there were no inseparable couples; and there were only study-related discussions on the student bulletin, with nothing like news of birthday parties at all.

Everything fit the mold of efficiency and eliteness.

Every academy was of roughly the same quality and only differed in their respective ideologies. Azure Dragon Region was clearly more relaxed, whereas Black Tortoise Region walked the path of the highly efficient elite instead.

In Lear’s point of view, this was the most suitable type of environment.

When it came to the elite, first and foremost was efficiency, and efficiency was always accompanied by a plan. The traditions that Black Tortoise Region sought to carry on were as good a fit for Lear.

Upon waking up every morning, Luo Fei would be greeted by the sight of a Lear that was scarier than the day before. Under these conditions, Lear was like a well-oiled machine. He repeatedly forged ahead without stopping at all.

This was not felt by Luo Fei alone. The entire class could feel it too. Lear’s breath became stronger everyday and the difference could be noticed by the naked eye. In theory, no one should be able to improve every single day, for there had to be times where your progress would stagnate. This clearly did not apply to Lear. Lear and Luo Fei had already entered Black Tortoise Region’s Huang Grade Class 1. They directly started their preparations for the promotion test only a short time after entering the academy, yet both of them were able to gain entry successfully. This caused a sensation within the academy.

“Lear, the five elements tutor is looking for you.”

Class monitor Jie Yuanhao furrowed his brow slightly. He did not like the gloomy Lear one bit. Jie Yuanhao even thought of causing some trouble for him, but this guy actually did not give him any opportunity to do so.

This guy was definitely a dog that would not stop snarling. Together with that treacherous fatty, they were sure to be a threat to his position.

Jie Yuanhao had already started giving Lear the cold shoulder the moment Lear first appeared in class. Who did he think he was? He was merely just some trash from Earth. He even brought a fatty with him to an elite academy? Was that his lackey?

His performance in class was nothing special initially, but now…

Lear’s brilliance was beginning to become an eyesore.

Moreover, Jie Yuanhao always felt that Lear had a terrible attitude, for Lear always seemed to look down on everyone around him.

It was true that Lear’s improvement had made him anxious. But how dare he look down on others? What right did a mere Earthling have to behave like this?

Lear’s expressionless gaze fell upon Jie Yuanhao’s face. He originally thought that Jie Yuanhao would be a decent competitor, but in both strength and mind he was nothing of note. While Lear was not considered to be among the strongest at Black Tortoise Region, he already felt more relaxed and was under far less pressure than at other places

As for Jie Yuanhao’s opinion, while Lear did not look down on others, he truly never took the feelings of others into consideration. Someone who was strong would not care about the corpses he trudged over as he advanced forward, much less who their rotting brains belonged to. The only exception was when a true opponent appeared…

Lear squinted as the silhouette of a certain someone appeared in his mind’s eye.

The decision to transfer from Azure Dragon Region to Black Tortoise Region was indeed not a mistake. Escaping from that person’s rhythm allowed him to achieve greater heights, for he was now able to more objectively judge and analyse his own ability.

He arrived at his tutor’s office. The five elements tutor was a plump middle-aged woman with brown skin and bright red short hair. While she was not exactly good-looking, her entire appearance had an unforgettable impact on others.

“Sorry for intruding.” Lear smiled as he bowed politely out out of respect. While this was part of Black Tortoise Region’s strict rules, Lear acted this way also because he could sense how frightening this tutor was. This was a terrifying entity whose Ability X power could not be measured. While it may sound ridiculous to claim that she was able to take on an entire squad alone, given enough time and without any restrictions on the methods to be used, a single squad of mecha would truly not be able to contain her.

The five elements tutor smiled, “Out of all the students I’ve seen, you’re the one with the most natural talent. Perhaps you’re the turning point of Black Tortoise Region. I’ve signed you up for the mecha competition this time, you’re able to bring glory to Black Tortoise Region I hope.”

Lear nodded, “Leave it to me, teacher. Thank you so much for your guidance!”

The five elements teacher smiled. She had her eye on this student all along. He was confident but not conceited; polite but not petty; took practice seriously; and had a keen sense of perception. She had not seen a youngster like that in years, so it was worth it to focus more on nurturing him.

Lear politely excused himself. Upon reaching the entrance, he immediately spotted a downcast Luo Fei below a tree.

Luo Fei was not only downcast – his life was practically about to be extinguished entirely.

Black Tortoise Region was like heaven to Lear, but to Luo Fei it was more like hell. What was wrong with the women in this place? Has the thought of enjoying their youth never crossed their minds? Haven’t they realised that their smooth and delicate skin could only be maintained by the serums of men?

A plethora of swear words flew out from Luo Fei’s chest. They all merged into a single sentiment – he could not obtain any girls.

However, the moment he saw Lear, Fatty became reinvigorated once again. He did not dare to remain depressed – Lear would definitely let him go insane if he stayed that way.

“Boss, there’s a slight problem.” Fatty chose his words carefully.

“Speak.”

“They failed over there again.” Fatty scratched his scalp. “Over there” referred to Azure Dragon Region. Over here, Lear clearly did not have enough idle time to care about things besides his studies. His godlike progress every day was not achieved by just playing around. Lear’s intense efforts may not have been noticed by others, but Luo Fei had seen it very clearly. Lear never bothered to hide it from him anyway.

Lear nodded his head and remained expressionless. It seemed like he had already expected this outcome.

However, Fatty was obviously unhappy, “Boss, I feel so wronged this time. We ended up forking out cash to make that guy famous. No matter how I think about it, I still feel dissatisfied.”
