When Yuan Cun Feng came out, he pointed to the composition “A Littling Thing Around Me” and said: “This man, I will kill!”
Waking up the soundly sleeping little golden dragon, they needed to head towards the examination center.
The drowsy little Fat Dragon was clearly reluctant to get up, shedding too many scales at once, which caused him to throw a big tantrum, expending a lot of energy and necessitating ample sleep.
He “dada dada” ran to the corner, took out a box, and handed it to Feng Lianzhu, straightforwardly giving Feng Lianzhu the authority to pilot Kirates’ spaceship.
Feng Lianzhu remembered this box; in the video, when the Fat Dragon lost scales, he would place them in the box.
Upon opening the box, besides a pile of tiny scales, there were also three huge scales inside, different in texture from the smaller ones, sharp and hard. Feng Lianzhu picked up a large scale, and just touching it, his fingertip was cut, bleeding red.
He quickly put down the scale, looking puzzled at his bleeding finger.
This scale was completely different from what the Fat Dragon had given him before.
ใThis is a scale from an adult Kirates dragon, only three are available, intended for the young dragon’s survival.ใ
The system explained.
After increasing his friendship value with the Fat Dragon, the system granted him more permissions.
ใThe control center for Kirates’ battleship is located at the head. Inserting PangยทKirates’ scales and entering commands can activate the spaceship. Its power is much less than that of adult scales, sufficient for interstellar transport but not for prolonged battles.ใ
So that was it.
Feng Lianzhu took out two of Fat Dragon’s scales, carefully covered the box, and Fat Dragon showing him all this was indeed an excessive trust.
With the little golden dragon sleeping soundly on his shoulder, Feng Lianzhu went to the control center, saw the slot for placing the scales in the energy trough, inserted the scales, and started the spaceship.
Human radars could not detect Kirates’ spaceship; it was like a ghost ship in the interstellar space.
Feng Lianzhu didn’t need such a large spaceship; he tried adjusting the commands, and the black spaceship slowly shrank into a small shuttle-shaped warship, quickly leaving the primitive star’s atmosphere.
This was Feng Lianzhu’s first foray into interstellar space. Looking out from what was said to be Kirates’ eyes, one side was darkness, the other the sun, releasing immense light and heat energy.
This was the universe.
Feng Lianzhu’s world had only been “Voyage in the Void”; this was his first time seeing the vast, boundless universe. Before, he thought Kirates was an unimaginably large race, but coming into the starry sky, he realized that compared to the universe, the Kirates race was just a group of little dragons.
Despite the spaceship’s fast speed, the distances between stars were too vast; he felt as if the spaceship wasn’t moving at all. On the primitive star, the speed of the armor was so fast that the trees would quickly recede, but the universe was different; after flying for a long time, it seemed as if he was still circling in the same place.
Rubbing the little golden dragon sleeping on his shoulder with a finger, Feng Lianzhu no longer felt Fat Dragon was big.
After the frame of reference changed from planets to the universe, the size difference between him and Fat Dragon seemed not so pronounced.
It took six hours for the spaceship to reach the nearest examination location. When entering the atmosphere, the planet’s automated scanning system did not detect the spaceship’s intrusion. Before landing, Feng Lianzhu spent 100 points to obtain a distribution map of the planet’s population from the system, choosing a deserted desert for landing. He then spent another 100 points to acquire the ability to shrink the spaceship and store it in a golden pouch, costing 100 points/hour.
The points that needed to be spent, should be spent, even if he didn’t spend them, PangยทKirates would go into debt. Feng Lianzhu decided not to shortchange himself and to be a wealthy bamboo.
Waking Fat Dragon and changing him back into Yuan Cunfeng’s skin, the two took a small flyer housed within the spaceship to the examination site, with Fat Dragon still asleep.
Arriving slightly early, Feng Lianzhu carried his “uncle,” who was drooling in his sleep, along with his interstellar pirate-facilitated Empire identity proof and a printed admission slip. He met Teacher Jenny, who was waiting for him in the examination waiting room, already ahead of time.
Teacher Jenny in reality was even more beautiful than on the StarNet. She seemed to have dressed up specifically for the occasion, wearing formal attire with a suit skirt and high heels, her hair neatly done up, wearing a flawless smile. Her smile froze upon seeing Feng Lianzhu.
“Hello, Teacher,” Feng Lianzhu greeted politely, then placed his “uncle” on a chair. Yuan Cunfeng, still in a daze, grabbed around until he found the table, rested his head on his arms, and fell deeply asleep.
“Hello, Student Feng. Is this Mr. Feng Lianzhu, your uncle?” It took a moment for Teacher Jenny to regain her composure, looking at the heavily slumbering “uncle” Feng Lianzhu had piled on the table.
“Yes,” the eighteen-year-old, who was only starting elementary school, Feng Yuansi, nodded.
He shook Yuan Cunfeng a bit, who grabbed his hand in a daze, still asleep.
“He seems very tired,” Teacher Jenny said with a dry laugh, “and his hairstyle has become… quite refreshing.”
In the interstellar world, due to the multitude of planets and races, except for formal work occasions, people could wear whatever clothes they wanted, as long as it was appropriate.
Feng Yuansi’s retro aqua robe was fine, and so was Uncle Feng Lianzhu’s sleeveless golden outfit.
Hair was a matter of respecting the customs of various races; long was okay, short was fine, and being bald was also your freedom.
It’s just that this “uncle” in front of her was too different from the one she saw online, and Teacher Jenny had a hard time accepting it. She had thought Feng Lianzhu was handsome, hardworking, and charismatic, and had dressed up specially today to proctor the exam in her best form. But the online Feng Lianzhu and the real one seemed worlds apart!
Feng Lianzhu stated matter-of-factly, “It’s normal for one’s online image to differ from their real-life appearance.”
“That is true, but your graduation exam also includes family education. We need to ask your guardian. I have coffee here; does he need a cup to wake up?” Teacher Jenny asked.
“No need for now,” Feng Lianzhu said, “Teacher, can I have the interview with my uncle? I’m already an adult, and my uncle has only just adopted me. He’s not very familiar with many things about me.”
“That… I can apply to the school leadership for that,” Teacher Jenny hesitated before saying.
After a while, Feng Lianzhu went to take the graduation exam. The exam paper was only one, but it covered five subjects on a single sheet, with a vast number of questions and a three-hour time limit.
This custom-made exam by AI teacher No. 1167, after assessment by the teaching system, concluded that if Student Feng could score above 90, he could skip directly to junior high third grade. If he scored 100… he still had to attend junior high third grade because new subjects like “Interstellar Geography,” “Interstellar History,” “Basic Physics,” “Basic Chemistry,” etc., still needed to be learned.
Feng Lianzhu answered swiftly. With an AI teacher and surveillance cameras, no human proctor was needed. Teacher Jenny waited outside, and after Feng Lianzhu finished, she, along with the head teacher, grade director, and counselor, conducted an assessment of Feng Lianzhu’s moral character.
Uncle Feng Lianzhu, who had been sleeping in the classroom, seemingly unable to be woken by thunder, surprisingly woke up as soon as his nephew Feng Yuansi entered the examination room. He sniffed around, searching with wide eyes.
Teacher Jenny promptly adjusted her hair and approached, “Mr. Feng, your nephew has entered the examination room. Once he finishes the written test, we can arrange for the interview.”
Yuan Cunfeng surveyed Teacher Jenny from top to bottom, his gaze emotionlessly sweeping over her beautiful face, S-shaped figure, and long straight legs, then indifferently turned away, heading to the examination room door. He sniffed at the metal isolation door and stood there expressionless.
Teacher Jenny: “…”
The uncle was indeed a bit cold, but not to the extent of having no emotion at all in his eyes. Teacher Jenny felt as if Mr. Feng’s gaze upon her was as indifferent as looking at a table or a chair.
Yuan Cunfeng several times thought about barging into the examination room but remembered Feng Lianzhu’s words in time and forcefully restrained himself.
Teacher Jenny seized the opportunity to learn more about Student Feng’s usual behavior and initiated a conversation: “Mr. Feng, you seem very tired. Have you been busy with work lately? It’s also thanks to you that Feng Yuansi could exercise his right to education. His parents indeed neglected their duties towards him.”
“Parents?” Yuan Cunfeng’s eyebrows, straight and stiff, furrowed as he looked at Teacher Jenny.
“Have you not read his essays?” Teacher Jenny asked.
She took this chance to bring up the topic of Student Feng’s family education, pulling up Student Feng’s essays from the smart brain for Yuan Cunfeng to read.
Born with the capability for language, PangยทKirates inherited memories of dozens of languages. In the Azure Galaxy, even on the most remote planets, PangยทKirates wouldn’t face any language barriers. He could also understand the meanings behind animal calls.
Aside from “Voyage in the Void,” Fat Dragon had no communication issues elsewhere.
His innate talent for language was so strong that he self-taught a bit of Huaxiaโs language. Returning to the game, Fat Dragon planned to seriously and patiently learn the Huaxia language. In future conversations with Feng Lianzhu, he intended to surprise him by using his language.
Reading Student Feng’s Imperial language essay wasn’t difficult for Fat Dragon. He first read “My Dream,” nodding in approval.
“My Best Friend” saw Yuan Cunfeng reviewing the three hundred words repeatedly. Initially, seeing Feng Lianzhu write that he didn’t like him much, he nearly blew his top in anger. However, upon reading that he was considered a friend worth making, he smiled in satisfaction.
Yet, he spent nearly an hour revisiting this particular essay, as if wanting to memorize every word of those 300+ words.
“Print this out for me,” PangยทKirates pointed at the essay.
“Oh, sure, no problem, there’s a printer next door,” Teacher Jenny said, puzzled by Mr. Feng’s intense interest in this essay.
“Never mind,” Yuan Cunfeng changed his mind, “I’ll go back and engrave it on gold coins, one letter per coin, arranged just right to make a bed, and lend it to him to sleep on.”
The emphasis was on lending, not giving.
Teacher Jenny: “…”
Didn’t Mr. Feng just worry about a tuition fee of 100,000 units? How come now he has enough gold coins to make a bed? Was he boasting?
After finally getting through the essay and looking at the remaining three about his father, mother, and a minor incident, Teacher Jenny saw Mr. Feng’s nose literally smoking with anger!
Just as Yuan Cunfeng was about to explode in anger, Feng Lianzhu submitted his paper and exited the examination room, surprised to see Fat Dragon standing in front of the door with his nose smoking: “You’re awake?”
Upon seeing Feng Lianzhu come out, Yuan Cunfeng pointed at the essay “A Little Thing Around Me” and said, “This person, I’ll help you kill them!”
Teacher Jenny: “…”
Author’s note:
Teacher Jenny: Wait, is this some kind of spirit calling? I need to call the police, there’s been a murder here, a family affair, yes, between an uncle and his nephew.
