Tempest of the Stellar War

Gu Te was overjoyed. Back in the day, he had expressly gone to Aslan to invite back Xiao Fei, who had just graduated. Xiao Fei had no intention of coming back – Earth’s research and technology conditions were too poor, and she did not want to waste her life away. But Gu Te had changed her way of thinking. If the Earth wanted to come out of its slump, it needed precisely outstanding youngsters like herself. If even she gave up, then how would Earth ever have a future?

There had been arguments. Xiao Fei had her own stubborn streak, but in the end she gave up a sweet deal on Aslan to return to Earth, becoming a mentor in Ares College. It had been more than 6 years. To Gu Te, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Young people were the hopes of tomorrow.

Gu Te had been firm on this point. Which was why, in his principal nomination, he only left one name.

Only she was suitable to be the principal of Ares College, and he hoped she would be able to bring the Ares College even further, nurturing more talents for Earth and the Solar System.

The power of a role model was invaluable.

On Earth, one could also succeed!

Thinking back on his lifetime, Gu Te felt that he had made his share of mistakes, but had contributed as well. In the end, he had no regrets.

Gazing out the window to the sunlight, Gu Te smiled contentedly. He could finally retire.

If the program failed, this charge would raise debate. But now, as long as Xiao Fei agreed, then the zone members would cry with joy.

Although the news had not been formally announced, but those like Ye Bingwen naturally were informed. OMG had suffered for this program rather badly as well. If not for Tita Star’s situation which stabilized the situation and stock prices, OMG might not have tided through. But now… the horizons stretched endlessly.

Ye Bingwen was in high spirits as well. All this while, he had not thought that this day would come. He had actually become a council representative of the Solar System Federation. Perhaps he really was suited for politics, although the waters here were even deeper than the financial world. One needed money, status, and influence. The wave to the response on Tita back then had passed, and now he and Solon both felt that they had hit a wall, as if they had been hit by a time-slowing spell. And the moment they revealed any weakness, they would be furiously brought down by their opponents.

It was time to counter attack.

This space technology concerned the entire Milky Way. This was something that any army must control, if a favorable outcome was to be even remotely possible in warp flight situations. Such deficiencies would be fatal.

And such a program’s military value was much higher than the economic value. Ye Bingwen could not only cement his own position in the Solar System Federation council, but could simultaneously increase his own influence.

This was his sword of Damocles.

Of course, the economic value would appear as the stock prices rose as well. They had to make ready.

The time for counter attack was imminent!

At Elite Academy X, the school curriculum would not change for the qualifiers. Wang Zheng’s approach did not change much either. Things like sudden breakthroughs could not be counted on. Besides, those usually happened under special circumstances, but were definitely built on the accumulation of usual experience.

Zhang Shan had cut the bragging as well. When it was time to get serious, he would not drop the ball. Oli was preparing diligently as well. From the looks of it, she was looking to acquit herself well in front of Olivios. It looked like she had some pride as well.

Some were getting busy, but some were completely relaxed. After all, to the Huang Grade, such a stage was a little too high. Even if they wanted to join, but they lacked qualifications. Although the Xuan Grade had a livelier response, but this mainly came from the top 3 classes. Even the interest from the other classes was not too warm. It looked like participation was not on everyone’s mind, but attention paid to itwas unquestionably rising.

Not just students, but teachers as well. At such competitions, all the mentors would be present. This was a good chance to observe the students’ capabilities and condition.

There was a big difference in learning rewards between the average student and those favored by the mentors.

Ling Luoyu was giving her all as well. She fervently hoped for good results in this competition. Ever since the last gathering, Gail had only mentioned Wang Zheng once and, with a look of regret, dropped the subject after seeing her lack of interest. Ling Luoyu had heard form Mo Ling that Snow Li seemed to be chasing this Wang Zheng. Who knew what she was thinking.

With the big battle imminent, Olivios was fairly calm. There was no sign that he was increasing his training load. He attended lessons as usual. He seemed the most out of it.

Honing his strength for the big push!

On faraway Tita Star, Yan Xiaosu and company were enjoying service of the highest caliber. As the honored guests of the Governor and Council Representative, the entire hotel was at their beck and call, delivering the best service. There were plenty of rumors going around, but all that was known was that they were from Earth, and mainly dealt in everyday products. It seemed very mysterious.

Jasper sat on the spacious sofa, fondling his female secretary’s ass. But the feel, which had intoxicated him just a while ago, now held no attraction for him. Outside the window was the splendid natural scenery of Tita Star. Who would have thought that a priceless treasure was contained beneath these trees?

Super-gravity energy ore development? Some had genuinely come to develop a primitive planet, but it was really for the super-gravity energy ore. Only, coming directly was not an option. Coming through a circuitous route was the best way. Presently, all the ore was bought by official government purchasers, but it would have to be released to the market sooner or later. Whoever had the best relations with the Tita people would have a better shot at it.

Tadinger Group had thought this way, just as every other financial group did. The wine-drinker’s mind was not on the cup.

Of course the Tita people and those of the Lan family knew this. This was an open secret, and depended on how well they did it.

Only, who would have thought that that unremarkable fatty was actually the key to the whole thing?

Little Lucky Star, a small label which made sanitary towels. Honestly, it scared Jasper silly. Were they so awesome?

Could Mu Sen’s concubine like such things?

Was this some sort of joke?

Of course, one could laugh it off, but things were not so simple. Jasper had pulled what strings he could, but such a small company was like a sesame seed. There was not even information to be had.

But Jasper believed what he saw. Lan Ling’s warm expression was directed to the fatty. It had no real connection with the company itself.

And Governor Mu Sen’s personal reception at night was unbelievable. Everybody knew that Governor Mu Sen was the real controller of Tita Star. The Lan family was in charge of organization, but had no real decisive power. The Titan was the spiritual leader, but the giants were not suited for organization. If the deal was to be struck with the giants, then business would be all too simple. But the Tita intellectuals were even wilier than humans. Doing business with them was a tough nut to crack.

In such a situation, those who could earn Mu Sen’s favor were few and far between. Although not much was known, but clearly it had fallen on that rube called Yan Xiaosu.

Jasper’s inspection of the business situation this time round was but a pretext. He had mainly come to play. Of course it was not only him in the group. At the same time that they were playing, they also kept an eye out for the next big break. To these 3rd generation heirs to the family business, work and play were not separate. The world was not divided into playboys and not playboys. That was too rigid. Although their personalities were more relaxed, but they were not unintelligent.

And clearly Jasper had seen an opportunity. He eyed the wench beside him. She was a 3rd year economics student in the capital of Lya Sphinx, working at the Tadinger company. He had favored her, and chosen her as his secretary. Given his personality, he grew bored of most women in a week, but this girl had been with him for a while now. She looked good, and had a great personality as well. She was not a basic girl, where one lost appetite quickly.

As a man, he had obviously recognized the interest in Yan Xiaosu’s eyes. When necessary, what needed to be sacrificed must be sacrificed.

Natalie could read the look in men’s eyes. She sighed lightly. Her fate was never in her hands.

Yan Xiaosu had not expected Jasper to actively come calling. He had no intention of rejecting him, as a businessman himself. After he calmed down, he was clear that Lan Ling and Mu Sen had no real connection to him. This was all out of respect for Wang Zheng. This was helpful for business, but from another angle, this brought problems as well. Because Little Lucky Star had neither prodigious charm nor ability, this might reflect badly on Wang Zheng instead. Yan Xiaosu knew that Wang Zheng had a place in the Tita people’s hearts. They saw Wang Zheng like a god, and anyone he introduced must no doubt be excellent.

Old Yan and the rest had left to the bigger cities to conduct field research. There were no problems with access, and Old Yan and the team had been very happy. They had been favored indeed. Only Yan Xiaosu was not satisfied. He was thinking about how to ensure that things went well, and so well that it was memorable.

But even the best housewife could not make a meal without rice. This was indeed a difficult matter. KING company had entered dire straits, and the capital of OMG and Little Lucky Star was not in a comfortable zone either. And to want to work magic here was no easy task. It was saturated with financial groups, and even if Little Lucky Star did its best, it could not reach their level.

Jasper and Natalie had finally reached the top floor. This was the most mysterious place, with the tightest security. If one did not obtain the permission of the owner, one could not possibly enter.

Even Jasper, who had travelled widely, was tongue-tied at the bold decoration. The reliefs embedded in the walls were actually made of super-gravity energy ore. But that was to be expected. What was hotly fought over outside was actually in abundance here, only it was sanctioned strictly. What was important here was the rights.

And this was what the elites fought over.

Jasper set a cordial smile on his face. As the vice-chairman of Tadinger, he naturally needed to keep his cool.

They moved to Yan Xiaosu, who was lounging in a pair of boxers watching… pornography.

F*ck… that was too much.

“Brother Yan, what an elegant taste you have.”

At one side, Natalie’s face reddened. She lowered her head. She was but a secretary, and had no position to comment.

“Haha, a good man is unafraid to play with his balls in public, whereas a miserly one will hide his crotch to be deemed seemly. I had thought you were a man of like-mind.”

Yan Xiaosu gestured to the sofa casually, although he still switched off the television. It was not too suited to matters at hand. This was all calculated on his part. He knew who his opponent was, and what status he had. After agonizing for a long while, he could not find suitable clothing, and decided to just give up and play the playboy role. This was called ‘returning to his roots’.
