Tempest of the Stellar War

Although it was known that all kinds of influential people gathered at Elite Academy X, such as Ai Xiaolu, many of them chose to keep a low profile. Many had intimidating power back in their own countries, but, like Ai Xiaolu, kept this those close to them. Outsiders would not understand it. Even so, hearing of Luo Er’s status was still a shock.

The predecessor of the Milky Way Alliance was an alliance formed by the early empires, which had developed gradually to where it was today. But the essence of it was different. The Milky Way Alliance Council’s powers were much stronger. The former honorific of Secretary-General was now Chairman.

Of course, the Chairman did not run a dictatorship, but merely had access to more resources and voting rights. In this current world, there was no single strongest person, but if you had to pick the top 10 influential people, the Chairman would definitely be in the running.

This was also the reason why General Bredt was so uptight. If anything had happened to Luo Er, he might as well retire.

They recuperated on Gemini Star for two days, then began the journey back to Inner Roland. Cleaning up the spies in this commercial espionage would also take considerable time. The only good thing was that the runic mecha was unspoiled. If they had taken the runic mecha away, that would have been the real tragedy.

It was not that Qi Bin and Kulifa did not want to, but that they had been unable to. Otherwise, it would also have fetched a tidy sum.

Back at Elite Academy X, the academy was bustling as usual. It missed nobody. Olivios and Lear’s performances had been startling recently, and as for First Blood being drawn, Wang Zheng was not too surprised. In fact, it would be more surprising if it had remained unclaimed.

In terms of overall strength, the other Battle Teams were still stronger. Once Wang Zheng had revealed the way, the rest would definitely catch on. They were not so weak to be unable to. But all that was unimportant.

Zhang Shan was a different person now. Returning to the Battle Team, his training performance left the Battle Team gratified. Even Achilles acknowledged it. Zhang Shan’s growth had unlocked many new variations in Saruman Snake Battle Team’s tactics. Takumi’s expression was full of envy. If he had known, he would have followed for special training as well. He wanted such improvement as well. Zhang Shan’s improvement was mainly in terms of breathing technique. On this journey, the extra-strong gravity had fortified his 16 Step Breathing Technique. At the same time, with Wang Zheng and Lie Xin accompanying his training, he had managed to free his acupuncture points. Lie Xin would not hold back when she fought, and possibly did so on purpose. After returning to school, Zhang Shan still sported injuries, although his level had indeed risen greatly.

Wang Zheng did not immediately throw his energies back into the Battle Team training, nor immediately lead everyone to begin a challenge of the super Zerg. His worries were elsewhere. On the shuttle, he had already been informed of the Tita Star situation by Yan Xiaosu. Just as Ye Zisu and the rest had analyzed, this had already escalated to an international dispute, and not a simple profit war.

In Elite Academy X, any had also started to discuss the Titatitan Star dispute. After all, it was a new and important planet in the Milky Way. The super-gravity ore’s importance determined the developments in humanity’s next step in space technologies. Broadly speaking, this was a planet crucial to humanity entering the next golden era.

“The big countries are jealous, but made no moves. Who would have thought it would be two small nations fighting over it?”

“Keke, how are you sure there are no shadows behind these two small countries? It’s all a game, and I won’t say more than that. It’s hard to guess anything else.”

“In the end, Titatitan Star should not have let relations sour with Aslan. Who knows why?”

“What else could it be? Aslan people’s attitudes are too superior, the Tita people must have been rubbed the wrong way.”

Such discussion sprung up in all corners of the school. Each time he heard this, Wang Zheng felt like a bystander. Given Tita Star’s current situation, there was no way to develop from here. They could not win the war if they started it. And once war broke out, everything would be over. OMG and Little Lucky Star would also be caught up in it, and all their investments would vanish into smoke.

Wang Zheng was rather popular in school now. The price of fame was rather high. Even when he bought things at the supermarket, the cashier would give him encouragement. The vendor at the canteen would give him encouragement along with his takeaway. Walking on the streets… there were all kinds of unruly juniors who were raring to challenge him. Of course, there were unruly girl juniors who wanted to “make monkeys” too. Wang Zheng violently rejected all of these requests. How could humans give birth to monkeys! Girls, “what’s your number”, Takumi and Zhang Shan had no “official” girlfriend, and were very interested in all this monkey business…

But returning to the main point, Wang Zheng was clear that, although he was worried about the Titatitan Star situation, but he could do nothing. His modest popularity in Elite Academy X was already very influential for a student. But in the context of international disputes, Wang Zheng was out of his depth.

If he wanted to know more, there were plenty of sources. Ai Xiaolu, Lin Huiyin… and even Aina.

But in the end, Wang Zheng still looked for Luo Er first. After all, he had heard the news from her first. Wang Zheng was also interested in hearing Luo Er’s analysis, as to the likelihood of conflict breaking out, and if there was a solution.

It was not that he did not want to ask Ai Xiaolu, but rather he did not want to impose too much on her. Only when he had a concrete need would he go to find her.

And Lin Huiyin… that wench was like a bomb. In comparison, Luo Er’s composure left a deeper impression on Wang Zheng. Of course, what was more important was that he wanted to know the attitude of the Milky Way Alliance.

After dismissal, Luo Er walked out of class and immediately spotted Wang Zheng. She was overwhelmed with surprise and happiness, and eagerly rushed over. “Wang Zheng, you’re here! Are you looking for me?”

After being through the crisis on Gemini Star, the friendship between the two had grown far past the status of normal classmates or friends. Tiding through tough times was a rare bond. Besides, Luo Er was quite interested in Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng smiled. He was about to speak, when he noticed that all kinds of stares were pinned on him. “Ke, watch your image. Looks like you’re really popular with your class.”

“Younger sister complex, loli complex, I’m sick of them. Stop staring, this is my boyfriend.” Luo Er did not care. Instead, she clung to Wang Zheng’s arm tighter than ever, a cute and helpless figure of a little girl that swayed the masses.

Gemini Star girls only looked petite, but were not the lolis that others imagined. Of course, unless the guy was charming enough for the girls to bring forth their warm and obedient side.

“Wang Zheng, did you have something to ask me?”

Luo Er was sharp, and knew that Wang Zheng had something on his mind.

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded. “I’ll buy you a meal. And I want to consult you on things.”

In the canteen, Lin Huiyin was furious!

She was really fuming! Lin Huiyin stared at Wang Zheng, who was having lunch not far from her.

Of course, a somebody who she could not ignore no matter what, Luo Er!

She could overlook the fact that Wang Zheng had left school without telling her. But he had not even bothered to keep her in the loop after he returned.

Wasn’t that too unreasonable? Did he even care about her? Wasn’t he naughty?
