Pang Kirates’ Destiny
The college entrance examination results were announced, and Feng Yuansi, without any surprise, secured first place, becoming the top scorer in the comprehensive subject category. He outperformed everyone, both in arts and sciences. In no time, Feng Yuansi’s fame spread throughout the entire alliance.
In any era, the weight of being the top scorer is significant. Even in such a vast interstellar conglomerate as the alliance, this universally participated college entrance examination is a test that most pay attention to. The principal of Alliance Third Elementary School sent a message to Feng Lianzhu’s portable smart brain the moment the results were announced. First, he congratulated him, and then he inquired about which school and major Feng Lianzhu wished to attend. Whether it be politics, business, military, or even directly entering the Alliance Science Academy, Feng Lianzhu could freely choose.
Feng Lianzhu stared at the message silently for a moment, just about to type out his reply, “I want to study physical education in teacher training,” when he received a prompt from the system.
ใTriggered host Pang Kirates’s evolution phase five task: Enter the Alliance Science Academy and destroy the alliance’s ultimate protection specimen. Pang Kirates will then obtain the adult energy of the fifth phase.ใ
Feng Lianzhu’s pupils constricted slightly; the task released by the system at this time was somewhat strange.
The system had mentioned before that Pang Kirates’s final task must be completed by him alone, yet now it was assigned to him. The system claimed it was infallible, so there was only one possibility.
“Is the fifth phase task not Pang Kirates’s final task?” Feng Lianzhu asked.
ใYes, the fifth phase is only to provide energy for Pang Kirates’s evolution. Whether he can integrate this energy into his body depends on Pang Kirates himself. After the host Feng Lianzhu completes the fifth phase task, the system will release the final task for Pang Kirates.ใ
Feng Lianzhu frowned slightly and said, “Don’t you think the difficulty of my tasks and Pang Kirates’s tasks are too different? Now even the number is unequal.”
According to the principle of system sharing, it should be one task for another task. However, since graduating from elementary school, his side had been releasing final tasks, while the tasks for Fat Dragon continued uninterrupted, both in number and difficulty, not on the same level.
Feng Lianzhu didn’t mind doing these things for the little dragon he liked. Moreover, from his initial cluelessness to now, he had begun to enjoy these tasks, helping the Atavists, rescuing underground arenas, and even studying and teaching. All these made him gradually understand and experience humanity. Without these tasks, the him who was bored with fighting monsters would definitely not have become a real person.
What he cared about was that his final task was related to the Atavists’ nation-building, which belonged to Fat Dragon. Then, was there a possibility that Fat Dragon’s final task was also related to him?
At this time, the system responded: ใThe host can rest assured, after big data calculation, the system believes that the efforts of Pang Kirates in tasks are completely equal to the host’s, and there is no situation where the host’s tasks are harder.ใ
This made Feng Lianzhu even more worried; he had already done so many more tasks than Fat Dragon. If everything was to be compensated in the last task, how difficult would Fat Dragon’s final task be?
He was genuinely worried that the little dragon might not be able to handle it.
ใThe host need not worry about Pang Kirates; the tasks issued by the system are definitely within the host’s capabilities.ใ
Feng Lianzhu could only temporarily suppress his concerns and asked, “Is the ultimate protection specimen that young dragon corpse captured by the alliance?”
He thought about it and felt that the item related to Fat Dragon and also related to the Atavists might be this.
The alliance’s genetic enhancers and gene intervention technologies all originated from the young dragon specimen. Only by destroying the young dragon specimen could the Atavists stop being born. Indeed, the alliance could no longer produce genetic enhancers, but ordinary people above grade B already accounted for over 60% of the alliance’s population. These people continuously breeding and evolving, probably would complete the entire race’s evolution in tens of thousands of years.
The young dragon specimen would advance this process to within a thousand years, while also resulting in countless lizard-like Atavists appearing.
Neither the system nor Kirates wished for life energy to intervene in human evolution again; it was against the natural laws.
ใExactly, Host Feng Lianzhu’s intelligence and emotional quotient have made leap-like progress during the task execution process, faster than the system had anticipated.ใ
Feng Lianzhu ignored the system’s praise. After pondering for a moment, he said, “I understand now. If it were Pang Kirates completing this task, he will probably take it slow, starting from elementary school and gradually working his way up. By the time he reached university, you would have him specialize in biological genetics. After graduating from university, he would take the postgraduate entrance exam and then a doctoral entrance exam. Perhaps decades later, he might have the opportunity to join the Science Academy.”
Feng Lianzhu had previously wondered about something. Kirates did not need to study; they could accept the racial memory inheritance when they reached adulthood, making it completely unnecessary to pursue a university degree. He had asked the system why such a pointless task was issued, and the system’s response at the time was that, after big data calculations, the system’s tasks were completely rational.
Now, the Atavists, schooling, entering the Science Academy to destroy the young dragon specimenโall tasks were interconnected, just as the system said, these tasks were all reasonable and closely related to the Kirates race.
Feng Lianzhu recalled the carefree little fat dragon sleeping on a mountain of gold coins in his mind and frowned, saying, “Isn’t it too much to put so many tasks on a young dragon who hasn’t come of age?”
He had never considered how difficult it was for himself to carry out the tasks; instead, his first thought was of Fat Dragon, who was just a young dragon that should be happily growing up. It was really too difficult for him.
ใPang Kirates is the last bloodline of the Kirates clan. Life energy is an existence that goes against the natural laws and the development of the universe; it cannot be spread indiscriminately. As the last dragon of Kirates, he has the duty to retrieve all the seeds of life energy.ใ
Seeing the system’s response, Feng Lianzhu came up with a bold idea: “Is the extinction of the Kirates clan closely related to life energy?”
Such a powerful race, and humanity, having only obtained a unsuccessfully evolved young dragon corpse, could complete the evolution of their race in just a few thousand years. The Kirates clan had the power to destroy the cosmic life system.
ใThe host does not have the authority for this, but since you have guessed part of the answer, the system can responsibly tell Host Feng Lianzhu, yes, Kirates should not exist in the universe. The destruction of this species was by the cosmic consciousness. Given that Kirates was too powerful, each galaxy was allowed only one Kirates. To destroy the Kirates species, countless galaxies have been destroyed. The reason the Azure Galaxy still exists is that the Kirates young dragon meant to be here failed in evolution and was captured by humans, and the cosmic consciousness did not detect the presence of Kirates.ใ
Feng Lianzhu felt a chill in his heart upon seeing the system’s response and couldn’t help but ask, “So, the entire Azure Galaxy, the Alliance, humanity, are they all just survivors under a great purge? What about Pang Kirates? If he comes of age, won’t the cosmic consciousness target him?”
ใThe host does not have the authority to inquire.ใ
Feng Lianzhu nervously pinched his fingers. He didn’t care whether he would die in the purge; Feng Lianzhu actually didn’t have a concept of life and death. He wasn’t a complete person; to him, death was data that could be restored. Having lived this long was already a profit.
But Fat Dragon, the little golden dragon who liked to sleep in people’s arms…
He alone could not die.
Feng Lianzhu was silent for a while, with the brain he shared with Pang Kirates working at high speed. He said, “Why would the cosmic consciousness determine that Kirates should not exist? Is it because in other galaxies, due to the presence of Kirates, there was an excessive creation of life, and supernatural evolutionary phenomena occurred? When such phenomena exceed a certain scale, the galaxy would explode in a purge of species. Establishing the Atavists’ nation and destroying the specimen to slow down human evolution is actually an effort to shift artificial evolution towards natural evolution, which may be closely related to the survival of Pang Kirates.”
No, even exchanging worlds, letting Pang Kirates wildly destroy and release his life energy in the game, might be preserving him.
The system did not answer Feng Lianzhu. Feng Lianzhu could only be sure of one thing: completing the tasks indeed helped Fat Dragon.
But he still had to graduate from university, and he had already started an internship…
Feng Lianzhu stared at the principal’s message, thinking about many things to find the most suitable answer.
“Principal, I want to attend a teacher training college for physical education; I have already started my internship,” Feng Lianzhu finally replied.
Soon, the principal called him via video, saying in frustration, “Going to a sports university is a waste of your talent! I’m not saying sports universities are bad, but you… you shouldn’t go there! Even if you like physical training, you could study mecha engineering!”
“But I want to be the fastest graduate,” said Feng Lianzhu. “Less than half a year from elementary school to university graduation, isn’t that a talking point, a topic, an achievement? After analysis, sports university is the last school where I can graduate quickly.”
“This… this actually makes sense, but it’s such a waste!” the principal said with deep regret.
“Principal, think of it this way,” Feng Lianzhu said. “When I graduate from university, because of my speed of learning, being exceptionally admitted by the Science Academy would be even better, wouldn’t it? Even if I enter the Science Academy, I enter as a student, but with a university degree, I enter as a researcher. Can that be the same as a student?”
After a moment of contemplation, the principal felt that Feng Lianzhu was right, but he was studying physical education. Would the Science Academy exceptionally admit a student from a physical education major?
Feng Lianzhu said, “They can take exams, and I can use this time to study the knowledge needed for the Science Academy’s exams. I probably also need an artificial intelligence teacher.”
Finally convinced by Feng Lianzhu, the principal said, “I can ask an alumnus of the university to upgrade the #1167 AI teacher to help you study. However, this AI teacher is probably only suitable for you, as ordinary people can’t keep up with its learning pace.”
“Thank you, Principal.” Seeing that he had finally persuaded the principal, Feng Lianzhu showed a smile.
With this, after obtaining his university diploma, he could go to the Science Academy to investigate the whereabouts of the specimen. Feng Lianzhu was confident in completing this task; after all, destroying it was easier than stealing it.
Author’s Note:
Feng Lianzhu: I need to protect Fat Dragon.
Everyone: You need to protect… who? That Kirates dragon that can tear planets apart?
