Meanwhile from another location… Gail had opened his Skylink to give a call to w.a.n.g Zheng. w.a.n.g Zheng had just added money to his Skylink bank balance and it had cost him dearly. In truth, w.a.n.g Zheng was not too good at earning, nor fond of spending money. But when he thought of the 64 Point Blade Techniques, he endured it.

He was preparing for the next training task. After training, there were still battles.

“You free tonight?”

Gail had come to Earth, his event pushed earlier by the Solar System Science Academy. He did not much like partic.i.p.ating in these official things, but could find no good reason to turn it down.

“An invitation from Senior Gail. Of course I have time.” w.a.n.g Zheng replied with a smile. Gail and Old Mu had helped him considerably, and he had to give them face.

“That’s good. Just a friendly thing, yeah? If you have friends, you can bring them as well. It helps to know more people.” Gail conceitedly instructed. In the game club, Gail had taken a liking to w.a.n.g Zheng. A pity that the fellow had no ambition, which was a waste of talent.

What he did not know was that all w.a.n.g Zheng knew had come from Old Merchant. w.a.n.g Zheng had some innate apt.i.tude, but if he had challenged these tasks alone, one would wait until their hair turned white. But each to his own, and w.a.n.g Zheng had always been clear of his goals.

When night fell, teacher Xiao Fei emerged from her long absence, accompanied by Ye Zisu, exhorting w.a.n.g Zheng to quickly depart.

“h.e.l.lo teacher! You’ve worked hard.” Seeing Xiao Fei’s contemplative look, w.a.n.g Zheng was a little hesitant. Every since he had returned, w.a.n.g Zheng had been fully enjoying his private life, even finding time to play CT and virtual worlds. If the overworked Xiao Fei knew about this, she would definitely explode in anger.

“Not bad, the recovery seems OK. Looks like you didn’t integrate and turn into a barbarian from t.i.ta Star. I hear from Zisu that you were really popular there, even snagging a girl from the Lan family, the foremost family on t.i.ta Star. Why didn’t you bring her back for me to see?”

Xiao Fei pinched w.a.n.g Zheng’s face with familiarity.

w.a.n.g Zheng was a man of the world now, and had accrued some reputation. To be treated like a child, and have his face pinched, he would not stand for this!

But seeing the look in Xiao Fei’s eyes, he quailed. With Ye Zisu beside, he still had an image to maintain. This was a game he could not afford to play!

Ye Zisu really enjoyed seeing w.a.n.g Zheng’s struggle to curb his tongue. There was always someone above one.

“Teacher, I’m the famous “Clean Member” in the Ares College, would I fool around like that?”

Xiao Fei was clearly practiced at teasing w.a.n.g Zheng. But the boy’s luck was undeniably good. Just as their material aspect was empty-handed, he had brought in the super-gravity energy ore. Gail also evidently favored him. The more the s.p.a.ce program developed, the more Xiao Fei felt inept. Such high level research was not something an ordinary research group could tackle. The signal volume and research volume was too large. Now that Gail was here, Xiao Fei intended to ask him for help.

The place Gail chose was quiet, a private villa in the suburbs. Once one reached Gail’s level, any place would gladly receive him.

Scientists in the era of peaceful compet.i.tion were indeed blessed. Of course, unless one became embroiled in trouble like Old Merchant.

Gail personally received them with great honor. “Xiao Fei, w.a.n.g Zheng. Haha, welcome, welcome!”

Sizing w.a.n.g Zheng up, he slapped his shoulders vigorously. “Punk, seems like the military’s been good for you. At least you’ve filled out some. Thinking back, I wanted to come here through the military too.”

“Gail senpai, with your strength, the army will still take you.”

Gail roared heartily, turning to look at Ye Zisu. w.a.n.g Zheng seized the chance to make introductions: “This is Ye Zisu…”

Without waiting for him to complete introductions, Gail nodded with a smile, saying: “OMG is a far-sighted company. It has done well.”

OMG played an important role in the KING universe s.p.a.ce technology company. As it rose, it received attention even from the Milky Way Alliance. Gail had also heard of Ye Zisu, who was slowly moving towards the front-end. Of course, because of w.a.n.g Zheng, Gail also paid it special attention.

Entering the villa, the interior looked simple and rustic, but a closer look at the fine details would reveal that it was nothing but common.

“This can be counted as a franchise for Genesis Coffee on Earth. Emerson is the famous owner of this place, in fact he does possess quite some might around here. If you ever meet any trouble, you can look for him directly. Gail said this casually. As a preeminent scientist, he enjoyed the best reception all across the galaxy. It could be said that some rules did not apply to them.

The black man who stood respectfully at the side hurried to offer a toothy smile and a slight bow towards w.a.n.g Zheng and Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei frowned, and Gail explained. “Genesis Coffee is unique. This is not special treatment for you, but something offered to all members.”

Science never existed in isolation. Any other domain at its respective pinnacle was the same. Clearly, what Genesis Coffee could do was not limited to this. Only, as w.a.n.g Zheng and Xiao Fei were new members, they were not qualified to enjoy the other resources.

Ye Zisu quietly reported to w.a.n.g Zheng that this Emerson was a rising star in Earth’s politics.

w.a.n.g Zheng smiled. It looked like Gail’s main reason for organizing this banquet was to introduce this Emerson to them.

Dinner was a simple affair, with Emerson’s family also seated at the table, although the presentation was solemn. Food always allowed human interaction to warm quickly, and Ye Zisu was good at networking. She was soon exchanging Skylink numbers with Emerson.

Gail, seeing Emerson’s family engrossed in conversation with Ye Zisu, brought w.a.n.g Zheng and Xiao Fei to the guest hall, evidently with something to say.

“My visit to the Solar System this time, besides lectures and some cooperation, is to specially notify the two of you. In 3 months’ time, Genesis Coffee has a members’ event in Roland Garros. The two of you must come.”

Xiao Fei’s eyes lit up. Genesis Coffee’s events were attended by the leading minds in the Milky Way’s scientific world. It was different from the pompous types found elsewhere. These low-profile affairs were in fact of the highest importance.

Gail smiled. “Xiao Fei, the problems you are facing now… If you bring them up then, I think many will be interested.”

Clearly, w.a.n.g Zheng and Xiao Fei had only seen the surface of Genesis Coffee, or the tip of the iceberg.

Gail eyed w.a.n.g Zheng with a little worry. w.a.n.g Zheng had never displayed any particular enthusiasm for Genesis Coffee, so he said directly: “w.a.n.g Zheng, this gathering is important. If you have time, you really should come over. Even if you have no time, squeeze time out for me!”

w.a.n.g Zheng saw that Gail was taking great pains to impress the gravity of the situation upon him, and could not help smiling. “After some time, I’m going to Roland Garros.”

Gail was surprised. “Why? Finally thinking on the right track?”

By his estimation, w.a.n.g Zheng would resist a little, even if it was a token one. This boy was not uninterested in science, but it was no great pa.s.sion of his. Research was not out of the question, but for meetings and such things, w.a.n.g Zheng’s appearances in the Genesis Coffee circle were numbered.

w.a.n.g Zheng rubbed his nose. “I’m coincidentally about to go to Roland Garros to take the Elite Academy X entrance test. But I don’t know much about this school. The last time I went to Roland Garros, I didn’t even hear about it.”

Hearing this, Gail broke out into a gloating smile. “You punk, after all that twisting and squirming, you still fell into the hole. Haha, I’m a mentor of the Elite Academy X!”
