Chapter 683
It was a face that was excessively young.
Definitely not over thirty.
The man wore a shirt, a pair of sungla*ses perched on the bridge of his high nose, and reflected his short, newly dyed mist blue hair.
He looked like he was on holiday.
Ying Ziji: “……”
As she said, she doesn’t believe in Xiu’s aesthetics at all.
The aesthetics of someone who could set their website to all black could be close to zero.
If the sages all looked like this, then the Sage House was a large bouncy dance hall.
Xiu took off his sungla*ses.
He saw the exact person he was looking for through the clothing features that Ying had sent him earlier.
Xiu looked up: “I mean, aren’t you girls all a bit…”
Before the word “slow” could be uttered, the words suddenly stopped.
The girl’s face came straight into view.
Her eyes were long, her hair pale and her lips light.
That aggressive beauty was like a blade across her throat, one that she would die for willingly.
Xiu’s foot swayed and he almost stepped on the accelerator and flew out.
Before they met, Hugh had envisaged many scenarios.
For example, there was a good chance that his old friend was a cripple.
Either blind or deaf, or missing an eye and an ear or something.
Otherwise, why else had he been wearing a black robe that didn’t show?
But now?
Xiu felt cheated of his feelings.
Ying raised his eyebrows, “Got an opinion?”
“No.” Xiu immediately changed his tone and pressed the button, “Get in.”
The car door opened automatically.
After Ying Zidian got in, Xiu stepped on the accelerator.
The car quickly took off and entered the air traffic track, immediately disappearing into thin air.
Tian Yan was left standing in place with a grim face.
She could see clearly that the car was a new land, sea and air mode sports car from the W Network.
Only S-rank accounts were eligible to purchase it.
Bea L’Engle had also picked up a new one only yesterday.
It was simply not available on the market.
The price for such a car was one billion.
Sky Smoke was only following Bea and her family could only be considered middle to upper cla*s, so naturally she couldn’t get that much money.
“I thought there was something to be arrogant about, it turns out to be a big money man.” Sky Smoke clenched her fist and sneered, “And see the Hidden One.”
A hermit would dye his hair?
What a joke.
**
The road.
The car was on autopilot.
Hugh opened a can of beer and turned his head, “What are you doing?”
Ying pressed her phone, unhurriedly, “Reporting to my boyfriend’s schedule.”
Xiu’s hand shook and almost turned the flight mode into sailing mode.
Then he accidentally saw a sentence.
[Don’t worry, sir, not as good-looking as you.]
There was a bunny emoji underneath.
The rabbit had a heart, and it said “Love you”.
Hugh: “……”
He was blind.
He now truly believed that this little girl in front of him was his old friend who had worked with him for a hundred years.
She didn’t say much, and her ability to dislike people had increased rather than decreased.
After talking to Fu Yunshen, Ying Ziji looked out of the window: “The other two founders of the W Network and the Hidden Alliance Society are also Sages, right?”
“Well, you guessed right, they are indeed sages as well.” Hugh was silent for a moment before he said softly, “It’s power and justice.”
Twenty-two Sages IX, Strength, strenh
Twenty-two Sages twelfth, justice, thejustice
Ying’s expression paused slightly, “They …… aren’t there anymore?”
In her friend bar, the avatars of these two people were always grey.
“Maybe they’re gone, maybe they’re deliberately hidden and disguised as ordinary people.” Xiu spoke, “As long as the Sage doesn’t actively reveal his identity, you won’t know he’s a Sage.”
Ying Zigui surveyed his misty blue hair, “I think that’s right.”
She would have thought it was the dude who came running cool.
“So I’d like you to do the math for me.” Xiu’s voice sank, “Are they still alive or not.”
Ying Ziji pressed his head for a long time before speaking, “I’ve lost my power, so I may not be able to count the sages at the moment.”
Xiu stared, “What’s going on?”
“Simply put, I died once and was reborn again.” Ying Zigui said lightly, “I thought I had died, but I never thought I would open my eyes again on Earth.”
To put it mildly, it wasn’t quite a rebirth.
It should be that she was reborn on Earth.
It was only that her consciousness had been asleep for too long, only fully awakening in the year she turned seventeen.
Xiu’s expression changed, “Is your body alright? What injury, so serious?”
“It’s alright.” Ying nodded slightly, “I’ve recovered quite a bit now, just that my strength is still lacking, but I expect I’ll be almost fully recovered by the end of the year.”
“That’s fine, there’s no rush for such a short while.” Xiu waved his hand.
Ying pondered for a moment, “I heard that the Sage Chariot has only just returned?”
“Hmm.” Xiu said, “I haven’t been back to the Sage’s House for decades, I hear it’s grown well, so I’ll go back some day and take a look.”
Ying propped his head up.
Apparently, there wasn’t complete unity within the Sages.
The Sage Queen and the Sage Demon, at least, were in two camps.
“I never told you something, if you weren’t indeed from another universe, I might have thought you were a Sage too.” Xiu pulled out the car keys, “Because my sister, with her special abilities, is exactly like you.”
Ying’s hand lurched, “The Wheel of Fortune?”
In the Tarot, the card after the Hidden One is the Wheel of Destiny.
Twenty-two Sages XI, thewheeloffortune
“Hmm.” Hugh, however, didn’t go any further, his expression darkening, “Buy whatever you want, it’s on me.”
After a pause, he emphasized again, “Ying, the House of Magi, you should definitely not take the initiative to contact them now.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“The sages’ abilities are more powerful than you think.” Hsiu pushed open the car door, “At least until your powers are restored, but why are you running to the Institute and selling things online?”
Xiu was the founder of w.com.
Although Ying had hidden her account type and level, Xiu was able to see that she had posted a trade a while ago.
It was an auction.
The price had now increased to one million.
“Oh, earning money.”
“Earn what money? I can call you directly.”
“The pleasure of arriving without labor for nothing.”
“……”
**
World City had space folding bags the size of the palm of your hand that a villa would be able to cram into.
Hugh, to show his fatherly love flooded the city, had simply emptied the central mall entirely and sent her back to the acting institute again.
The Institute had been in existence for almost a thousand years.
From the eleventh century onwards, alchemy was at the forefront of the Institute’s research.
It was not until the 16th century, when industrial technology began to develop, that the institute was established with two large institutes.
Ying Ziji stuffed the folded bag into her pocket, and then her steps suddenly stopped.
She looked up and walked towards a painting hanging by the corridor.
Ying Zidian’s fingers trembled. Silently, she pressed the panel and looked at the youth on it.
At the bottom right was his familiar name.
She knew Simon Brand well.
The old man was outwardly mad and sometimes liked to tease people.
But in reality very kind and always contributing to human society.
Even though she hadn’t realised until now that Simon was actually a native of World City, she could guess why he had chosen to break away from it.
It was just to bring this part of technology to the seven continents and four oceans to push society further.
Unfortunately, it had ended up that way.
“This is the best researcher we’ve had in the Engineering Academy for centuries.”
There was a voice ringing out behind her.
Ying Zigui turned her head.
It was an old man.
He was wearing a suit and standing straight.
A badge was pinned to the upper left part of the suit – the
Dean of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute!
“Unfortunately ……” the old man shook his head, “Alas.”
Simon Brand’s IQ was unparalleled in the City of Worlds that is.
“I’m sorry.” The old man drew back his thoughts from his memories and smiled kindly, “Excuse me.”
Ying Zidian nodded slightly and left the corridor.
The old man was still a little unconscious.
For a moment, he thought it was Su Wen standing in front of him.
The woman who was once famous in the City of the World for her talent and beauty had now fallen into a long slumber.
Heaven is jealous of talent, and also of red faces.
The old man pondered for a moment and called to his a*sistant, “Send me a copy of the information on that trainee just now.”
**
Ying put the bag back in her dormitory and went to the junior lab again.
She had just reached the corner when she paused in her steps and went on again.
The lab was a mess.
Two lab benches had been kicked over, and the computers and lab tools had all been smashed and smashed.
Ice Blue was sitting on her knees, panic in her eyes and scrapes on her face.
She was surrounded by several senior trainees.
“Ying, get out of here!” Seeing the girl come in, Bing Lan looked panicked, “They’re from Heavenly Smoke, they want to capture you for genetic experiments too!”
“Yo, back.” The male cadet in the lead clapped his hands and smiled, “Take them away together, it just so happens that we’re short of an experiment to implant a little frog gene in her for fun.”
This was a common occurrence at the Institute.
The Biogenetic Institute needed a lot of experiments, but there were not nearly enough of them.
Some of them are civilian slaves who sell themselves because they are poor to get money, and the other part are the junior trainees of the Institute.
There were thousands of junior trainees every year, which was insignificant in a place like World City where there was an absolute hierarchy.
Ying Zidian’s eyes narrowed.
She stepped forward, holding Ice Blue’s shoulder with one hand, and pointing her finger at the laboratory table with the other.
There was no warmth in her voice: “Pack it up.”
Chapter 684
“……”
The cacophony of voices within the lab all fell silent.
Not only these few senior academies called by Sky Smoke, but also the other junior trainees who were standing on the sidelines watching the good show froze.
It had been less than two days since Ying Zigui had arrived at the Institute.
Only she was extremely colourful, and even if she was not from this junior lab, many trainees from other labs had come to see her.
In their impression, the girl had always been quiet and low-key.
How dare she say such things to a senior cadet?
Did she even know the difference between the terms senior and junior?
As long as junior trainees didn’t have some power behind them, they could only be at the mercy of the slaughter.
That was why Sky Smoke was so arrogant.
Especially the senior trainees of the two academies.
The Biogenetic Academy relied on genetic modification and transplantation, and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Academy relied on new thermal weapons.
The combined strength was also much stronger, and no one would normally mess with them.
Bing Lan was also more flustered, “Ying, it’s actually nothing, the lab bench is able to recover automatically, there’s a repairer, just press it.”
Laboratories were always prone to explosions.
That’s why the Institute had invented this repair technology.
Even if an entire lab bench was blown away, pressing the repair button could restore it within ten minutes at the slowest.
This technology made the process of the experiment a lot faster too
Ying Ziji looked down at the half of the flying machine that had been trampled off, his eyes were waveless, still those three words: “Cleaned up.”
“Awesome, awesome, the first born is not afraid of the tiger.” The male cadet applauded, his smile bigger, “You? You’re good looking, it’s a waste to pull straight into a genetic experiment.”
“Why don’t we let us play with them first and send them to the lab when we’re tired of them, it’s not a waste of a good thing.”
As far as they were concerned, women were weak.
They can be bullied at will.
“Don’t put on such a cold face, come on, smile.” The male cadet smiled and walked forward, just reaching out his hand to shake the girl’s shoulder.
He hung back, not taking it to heart at all.
Ice Blue’s heart rose to her throat, “Ying!”
“Boom!”
There was a shocking sound, almost shattering the eardrums.
The girl only slightly raised her hand, and with a harsh over-the-shoulder slam, the male cadet was directly put on the ground.
A momentary paralysis of his body left him without even the time to react.
“!”
The other senior cadets who were about to follow were all being put in place, their eyes somewhat dumbfounded.
“Ka-chow!”
There was another crunching sound.
This time it was the sound of bones snapping.
At the same time, the male cadet let out a heart-rending howl, and blood even spilled out from the corner of his mouth.
“Ah…!!!”
His chest was stomped on by the girl with her foot, and three or four of his ribs were broken straight away.
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes dropped and her voice was cold: “I said, pack it up.”
She kinda liked where she talked with her fists.
What a relief.
The lab is silent.
Ying Zidian put her foot down, she raised her eyes and stepped forward.
Several senior trainees subconsciously took a step back, and this time the one who was horrified became them.
“I’m warning you, don’t you think about making a move with us.” One senior cadet was stern, “You’re only a junior cadet, if you dare to make a move, your family-”
The words were cut off by a few thumps.
This time, there were six people on the ground.
Some of the junior trainees had already fled in fear, and only a few remained in the lab.
Ying Zigui faintly said, “Pack it up.”
It was such three simple words that almost broke the nerves of these few senior trainees.
Beating them up like this, just to make them become cleaners?
But when they met the girl’s cold, cool phoenix eyes, their hearts had already been mostly terrified.
Except for the first male cadet who was seriously injured, the other senior cadets got up with the pain in their bodies and picked up their destroyed lab tools with their hands and feet.
Ying Ziji sat on a chair and watched the battered male cadets clean up the lab table for her and Bing Lan.
Ten minutes later, the table was restored.
The senior trainees turned back with trepidation, “I’ve finished cleaning up.”
Ying Ziji nodded slightly, “Want me to send you away?”
Several senior cadets lifted the male cadet up and fled, “Go! Quickly!”
This was not like they had met a soft target, they had clearly kicked an iron plate.
“Ying, you’re too good!” After Bing Lan was stunned, she was excited, “Where did you learn those moves?”
Those were all senior trainees of the Biogenetic Academy.
Although not all of them had undergone genetic transformation, their strength was not comparable to that of the junior cadets.
But Ying Zidian had easily taken down a few big men.
Ying Ziji was silent for a brief moment and faded: “In the past, if you wanted to live, you had to learn to fight.”
The only thing that could protect oneself was one’s own hands.
Bing Lan froze.
Although she was a commoner, her family was small and her parents were alive.
Without a life of great wealth, her clothes and food were at least worry-free.
“Ying, do you have no money for food?” Bing Lan thought for a moment, “I’ll give you my meal card, you can swipe it as you like.”
Ying raised his eyebrows, “What about you?”
“I’ll just eat steamed buns.” Bing Lan’s voice trailed off, “You haven’t even eaten anything good.”
“No need.” Ying coughed and laughed lightly, “I still have money, I’m not as poor as you think.”
She glanced at the message in the w-net trading section.
The message alerted that the pair of shoes she had made had been auctioned off by a user for five million.
It seemed easier to earn money in World City.
“Ying!” As if remembering something, Ice Blue became anxious again, “The Biogenetic Academy will definitely not let you off the hook if you beat them up like that.”
“We junior trainees haven’t even taken the test yet, we don’t have the academy to protect us.”
That was why junior cadets had the lowest status.
This group of junior cadets are all waiting for the a*sessment next week on July 24.
“It’s alright.” Ying Zigui casually took out a few parts, “Let them come.”
Only then did Bing Lan remember that Ying Ziyi had an A-rank account on the W-net and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Seeing the girl looking at the repair button again, she was a little curious: “What are you thinking about?”
“I was thinking-” Ying Zidian was thoughtful, “This technique is perfect for my brother and his comrades who blew up the lab together.”
Ice Blue: “????”
**
The movement in the primary lab naturally did not escape the ears of the others.
But all afternoon, no second group came to make trouble, obviously surprised by Ying Zigui’s methods.
After Ying Zidian finished making the parts, he returned to the dormitory and connected to the video call.
“Ying.”
A cold female voice came out, and a stunningly beautiful face was reflected in the screen.
Long white-blonde hair and ice-blue eyes.
Ying Zidian raised his eyebrows: “Is this what you will look like when you grow up?”
Beauty comes from the Leingold family.
I’m sure that’s not just a saying.
“Well, sorry.” Sinai pressed her head, “I used to be more aloof, so don’t mind if I said something wrong.”
“It’s fine.” Ying yawned, “I’m the same.”
“I made a trip back to the clan and the Third Lady was shocked by me.” Sinai said, “I’ve made an appointment so I can take you to the medical room in the morning to heal my sister-in-law.”
“Hmm.” Ying nodded slightly, “I’ll go in as Mr. Yu’s a*sistant, and I’ll disguise myself.”
The reason the Third Madam was not good at refusing this time was also because Yu Xuesheng had already treated Su Man once.
The first time was when they went to invite him.
This time when Yu Xuesheng was invited by Sinai, the Third Madam could only shut her mouth even if she was not satisfied.
“Ying, with my authority I can give you a direct application for senior cadet.” Sinai added, “No, with your strength, you can be promoted directly to S-rank Fellow.”
“Standing too high, it’s easy to be targeted by the Sage House.” Ying propped his head up, “Trouble.”
Sinai understood, “See you tomorrow then, I tried the medicine you gave me and it lasted for 24 hours.”
After her body returned to normal, she was able to move around a lot easier.
“Good.” Ying answered, “When I contact my friend, you should be able to fully recover soon.”
Sinai: “…… Actually, I don’t want to follow an old man, I’d rather follow you.”
Ying thought for a moment, “He still has a young face except for his hair which is silvery white.”
Sinai pretended to believe it: “…… Oh.”

Other side.
School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering.
“Dean Norman.” The secretary knocked on the door, “Here’s the cadet information you asked for.”
The old man pushed his gla*ses, “Bring it over.”
The secretary placed the computer on the table.
Dean Norman opened it and took a look.
Name: Ying Zidian.
Gender: Female
Age: 19 years old
Level: Junior Cadet
Dean Norman’s eyes moved down to the family information section.
The timeline was accurate to the month and year, but the only thing he was concerned about was the words “both parents deceased” right at the beginning.
Dean Norman sighed.
He was thinking too much.
In this world, there was a certain probability that even people who looked exactly alike would appear.
Looking alike couldn’t be more common.
He had also met people who looked more like Pei Wei than Ying Zigui.
Besides, it was a well-established fact that Su Man’s child was dead.
Dean Norman proceeded to slide down again, to the column of referrals.
The column for referrer was an asterisk, obviously encrypted.
Dean Norman frowned and entered his identity information, then clicked on unencrypt.
A picture came into view.
Dean Norman’s expression changed and his grip was almost unsteady: “How come it’s this girl!”
He couldn’t restrain himself at all, his hand trembled before he jerked to his feet and was about to go to Ying Zigui immediately.
“Dean Norman.” At that moment, the secretary ran in again, panting, “There was no need to give you this matter, but you have just mobilised her information, I think you should take her very seriously.”
Dean Norman looked up, “What’s happened?”
“A couple of senior trainees from the Biogenetic Institute went over to the junior lab to take a couple of junior trainees to do genetic experiments.” The secretary spoke quickly, “And among them was her.”
Dean Norman drew a backward breath, “Don’t these senior cadets want to live?”
The secretary froze, natch, “No, no Dean, she’s fine, she wasted those senior cadets.”
“……”
Dean Norman choked for a moment too, “Then what else is going on?”
“The tutors of those cadets are angry and are going to have her arrested.” The secretary continued, “It’s gone to her dormitory now to make the arrest, just out the door of the Institute.”
Dean Norman’s face went cold, “I’ll go over and check it out.”
Using the new inventions of the Engineering Institute, he quickly followed the instructor of the Biogenetic Institute.
“Dean Norman.” The tutor treated him with respect, but didn’t back down from that, “This is a matter for our Biogenetic Academy, there are thousands of junior trainees, one less is nothing.”
“Do you know who sent her in.” Dean Norman said, “Any idea who is standing behind the person you want to move?”
The tutor frowned, “Dean Norman, what are you laughing at? Is there any great power standing behind a junior cadet?”
This was a matter for their Biogenetic College, and it was indeed troublesome for the Engineering College to have to interfere.
Besides, if there was a big shot behind Ying Zigui, would she be allowed to go to the junior lab?
As long as the family has some background and power, they will send their own children to high places.
The tutor spoke again, a little impatient, “Dean Norman, she beat up our Genetic Academy students like that, so you shouldn’t protect her.”
Dean Norman nodded.
Using his authority, he once again lifted the asterisk in the column of Ying Zigui’s referrals.
Then he threw the phone in front of the mentor’s eyes and faintly: “Take a look for yourself.”
The mentor was a bit reluctant, but took it anyway.
It was a photograph.
From the background, it seemed to be somewhat old.
A lot of the instruments and equipment inside had been eliminated long ago.
The photo was taken at least ten years ago.
The tall young girl in the cold white coat looked indifferently at the camera.
Sinai Leingel.
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
School of Physics.
The School of Space Technology.
After these faculties, there is a title underneath.
Fellow of the ss cla*s!
