Chapter 60: His Name Shakes the Milky Way!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The biggest gambling chip was Xiao Fei. However, it was unlikely that she would be worth much in the grand scheme of things.

Jamal and Adonis were very interested in poaching Xiao Fei; they were willing to offer the highest compensation in order to get her to join them. It was just a pity that Xiao Fei was completely uninterested, leaving the two of them to feel extremely helpless.

"Gu Te, your style of thinking is too old fashioned. The situation now is extremely fierce and things are changing. To be bound by existing conventions will not suffice. Are you hoping that geniuses will simply magically appear? A case like Xiao Fei is as good as it gets. What else can you do?"

Jamal gulped down a mouthful of tea before admonishing, "Actually, aren’t you also changing the system? You poached students from the Moon and from Mars. However, you were too late and too slow."

Gu Te gave them a wry smile as he played with the teacup in his hands. This high grade tea was extremely flavorful and was one of the best teas that could only be drunk on Earth.

"This is my strategy, and I will still continue to use it in future. Although these students might not stay for long, their existence will continue to inspire other students. I believe that as the birthplace of Mankind, Earth will not continue to decline.

Jamal and Adonis felt extremely helpless. Gu Te was as stubborn as a rock in a rubbish dump; he was smelly and hard to convince! All of the major military academies were actively trying to woo elites and new students, doing their best to attract them. However, this Gu Te was extremely long-winded and too unrealistic.

This was a typical strategy of the colleges on Earth.

However, the truth was that Earth was no longer the core of Mankind.

Such fanaticism and self-belief belonged to the minority who sought to maintain Earth’s culture regardless of the circumstances.

Even if the discussion fell through, the other two headmasters were determined to try and convince Gu Te to pool their efforts together. Perhaps there would have been a chance of success.

"Regardless of how busy Xiao Fei is, I’ll make sure she attends the opening ceremony tomorrow."

Gu Te said. He did not know what was keeping Xiao Fei busy. She called it a secret and no one had even seen her shadow in the last three days.

At this point, the Skylinks of the three principals rang. As they were all old acquaintances, they didn’t really care, so all of them opened their Skylinks.

The three of them were extremely important members of the military government as well as representatives of the Solar System Federation. A Blue-Class secret message only meant one thing: there was good news!

Jamal and Adonis looked at each other. Speak of the devil, it really happened.

The two of them had complicated expressions on their faces. To be honest, Ares College had been declining, but a genius like Xiao Fei had appeared and even joined them. Although she couldn’t save the college by herself, she was still a life-saving pill.

But it was exactly as Gu Te had just said. Sometimes all it took was one person to create a miracle.

Xiao Fei’s newest theoretical paper had shaken the entire scientific world.

"Curved State Space -Time Movement Positioning."

The paper suggested numerous arguments, and although all of it was purely theoretical, it was the first paper to have shaken the entire scientific community in years.

Xiao Fei and her team had not slept at all during the last few days, but all of them were extremely happy. A lot of the work had been completed a long time ago, but it lacked a certain direction to it. However, after hearing Wang Zheng’s words, an idea sparked in Xiao Fei’s mind and she managed to link all of her previous research together.

Scientists were sometimes crazy and sometimes paranoid. However, these individuals would never stop theorizing, even if it meant disregarding all rest and sleep. Yet all of them were bursting with vigor even after all that! These people were insane!

In the scientific world, these scientists were the true gods!

Such prestige was no less than what a soldier would receive.

This was what it meant to be a hot-blooded scientist.

The moment the paper was published, without a doubt it had stirred the entire scientific community into a frenzy. If it was proven to be true, it would once again drive Mankind’s advancement and a great leap forward would be accomplished.

This was the result of innovation.

Mankind’s scientific advancements were in the form of large jumps. From Einstein till now, a single individual could change history. However, after the moment such an individual appeared, science would then struggle along as it slowly developed.

After so many years, everyone felt that another genius would soon appear. In fact, most of them felt that it would be Alan Tucker. However, the facts proved otherwise; the true genius was Xiao Fei.

This young female scientist’s name had shaken the Milky Way Alliance.

This also allowed Ares Military College’s name to rise from obscurity.

Jamal and Adonis could only bitterly smile as they congratulated Gu Te. This guy’s luck was just too good. They had sacrificed so much and made so many preparations, but in the end, none of it could match up to his luck.

Gu Te could not help but give them a large smile. "I’m sorry, my friends, I need to go congratulate the scientists. Please make yourselves at home."

Jamal and Adonis gave each other a look. "Haha, Old Gu, this piece of news is the pride of the Earth. We should all go to congratulate Xiao Fei."

"Indeed. The last time Xiao Fei came over, she was still a student. After so many years, I knew she would definitely create a miracle."

Jamal and Adonis acted particularly thick-skinned. At a time like this, this was necessary.

Gu Te knew that the other two old bastards were up to no good, but he still did not hold them in too much contempt.

Gu Te had always been waiting for Xiao Fei to succeed. To be frank, if it was another principal, they would definitely have gotten fed up with this problematic and capricious subordinate. So what if she was talented? This year alone had plenty of other talented individuals that also required nurturing. Furthermore, she had not produced any results over so many years. Gu Te, on the other hand, was different; he had always continued to support Xiao Fei.

His principles were simple: don’t suspect the ones under you and don’t have suspicious individuals under you. Giving the other party space to develop and grow was important compared to criticizing and ordering them around.

The entire research laboratory was celebrating. The highest scientific authority in the Solar System Federation had already acknowledged the paper and rumors saying that everyone was absolutely dumbfounded by the theory were spread.

"Dr. Marcus! Thank you for all your hard work for all these years!" Xiao Fei said sincerely.

Marcus gave her a small smile. "The one that should be giving thanks should be me!"

The two of them were old partners. Marcus had never let Xiao Fei’s age affect his opinion of her. On the other hand, he agreed with her reasoning. A scientist required an outstanding mathematician’s help in order to increase their rate of success.

Their joint success had once again confirmed this fact. Of course, although a large amount of credit was due to the scientist, the contribution of the mathematician was also indispensable. Those who chose this line of work already knew this fact, as the important thing was finding meaning in life.

"I think we have to thank that brat. He is our lucky star!"

Marcus sighed. When he found out that that line of thought had originated from Wang Zheng, he was shocked. His ability to do math truly left people speechless.

"Hehe, that brat will become famous soon enough."

There were three names at the bottom of the theoretical paper: Xiao Fei’s, Marcus’, and Wang Zheng’s.

From a student’s point of view, it was truly a miracle. Only those who had contributed greatly to the paper would appear on it; even the other researchers were not recognized.

Without Wang Zheng’s incisive comments, no one would know how many more years it would have taken before results could be shown.

Even if much of the work had nothing to do with that brat, in certain cases, inspiration was the most important thing. It was what differentiated one from others.

The three principals quickly came over. Adonis and Jamal’s enthusiasm had even seemed slightly overwhelming.

"Dr. Marcus, I finally understand why you chose to come here so many years ago. Although I feel regret, I also feel extremely happy for you."

Jamal said.

"Jamal, you’re too polite. We are just assisting her work."

"That’s very humble of you. May I know who Dr. Wang Zheng might be?" Jamal suddenly asked.

At this point, Adonis’s eyes lit up as well. "Yes! Could you please introduce us to him? I have never heard of this genius until today. It is extremely ignorant of me."

Xiao Fei and Marcus glanced at each other momentarily before roaring in laughter.

Jamal and Adonis then stared at each other. Was this question really so funny?

A researcher at the side couldn’t help but to explain to them, "Principals, Wang Zheng is a student. He’s not a doctor. In fact, he is a freshman of the Physics Department."

Gu Te was stunned momentarily. He couldn’t believe his ears. When he first saw the name, he just thought that it was someone else with the same name.

Jamal and Adonis glanced at each other. One could clearly see the thirst in their eyes.

A genius freshman?

Fuck. If they didn’t try to poach him, the heavens wouldn’t forgive them!

The two of them smiled dully. "Ah. The two of you have taught the younger generation well! However, don’t you think that the prestige afforded to him does not match up to his contribution?"

Jamal looked at the rest of them trying to spot any dissatisfaction, but to his surprise, there was none.

Xiao Fei shook her head. "Honestly, his name should be at the front. Without his revolutionary thinking, we would not have today’s paper."

Gu Te suddenly coughed dryly. "Xiao Fei, you look extremely tired. I don’t think we should disturb you any further."

After saying so, he winked at her furiously. This Xiao Fei was good at many things; however, she was not good at reading in between the lines. Jamal, that old fox, was clearly just trying to get more information from her.

Jamal and Adonis already knew from the start that even if they could not poach Xiao Fei, they could still poach others. Thus, they were already smiling in their hearts.

Students were much easier to tempt. Furthermore, whether it was Zeus College or Apollo College, both of them were considered to be better than Ares.

The two principals were also of similar thoughts. The moment they got back, both immediately called all of their Physics Department students to try and figure out if they knew who this student by the name of Wang Zheng was.

After Carlos and Gong Jin recounted everything that happened, Adonis began to pace back and forth. This student was one that was recognized by Xiao Fei, so he needed to figure out what privileges and special methods he could use to tempt him.

This was a genius among geniuses!

He had to be poached. If they wanted to enter the top 50 in school rankings in the Milky Way Galaxy, one not only needed a strong military teachings department, but they also needed to contribute to the sciences. This brat had quite a good future ahead of him.

It goes without saying that just by being recognized on the research paper was sufficient to make him famous in the scientific community.

historical

If he wanted to snatch such an extraordinary student away, he would first have to demonstrate his school’s ability.

Without question, there was an excellent opportunity right in front of him.

"Oh yes, I heard that Student Yue Jing was his friend from middle school."

Gong Jin suddenly said.

Adonis then smiled immensely. "Why didn’t you say this earlier! Bring Yue Jing over!"

...

When Yue Jing entered the principal’s office and heard what he had to say, she almost bit her lip apart. This was not a joke!

This piece of trash that existed at the bottom of Dawn Middle School suddenly became a physics genius?

Yue Jing would not believe it even with the threat of death. However, the facts were in front of her; additionally, the principal could not have been lying.

He even wanted her to come up with a plan to seduce Wang Zheng and get him to enter Zeus College instead. Any conditions could even be discussed.

Yue Jing felt like as though she was selling her body to seduce Wang Zheng.
