Chapter 709
The page also remained in the user information section.
A capital “S” barged straight into Xu Jingshan’s eyes.
Xu Jingshan’s mouth grew in shock and he looked up sharply in disbelief, “How can you have an S-rank account?!”
In the Institute, only researchers who had reached the S-rank could apply for an S-rank account through the Institute to the W-Net.
At present, there were less than a hundred “S” rated researchers in the Institute, and most of them were the older generation and mentors.
Although Biel also has an S-rated account, it belongs to the Lehngar family.
Xu Jingshan had been promoted to a rank A researcher only a while ago, and in turn got an A-rank account.
Today, he heard that the senior senior trainees of the Biogenetic Institute had stuck the experimental channel of group b, so he rushed over early to show off.
But s-rank?!
Xu Jingshan stared at the capital ‘s’ with a deadly gaze, and his face instantly turned red.
It was like someone had slapped him across the face, and it hurt like hell.
“Yo, let me hear it, what did you just say you were going to do?” Ye Siqing pulled out his ears, surprised, “You said you were going to help us with the parts access problem?”
Xu Jingshan’s eyes were red as he heaved two breaths, “How did you get the S-rank account? How did you get it?!”
“Sorry, no comment.” Ye Siqing was cold, “I gave it to you then, you’ll regret it.”
She used to have a pretty good relationship with Xu Jingshan.
But Xu Jingshan had run away at the most difficult time for Group B, and there was nothing left between them.
“Regret?” Xu Jingshan gave an audible laugh now, “Ye Siqing, you wouldn’t be unaware of the gap between group b and group a, would you?”
“Yes, that Ying Ziji is number one in the engineering school this year, but how long has she only been studying? Can she compare to Miss Bi’er?”
Ye Siqing’s gaze became even colder.
“Senior Brother Xu, didn’t you have to follow Bi’er Leyengar? Aren’t you looking down on those of us who are holding you back?” The male cadet spoke up slowly, “Then go ask and see if someone else, Miss Biel, will give you her S-rank account to use.”
Not so with them.
Ying Ziyi had casually left an account that was S-rank.
Just now, she even said she would just give it to them to use.
Could Bea L’Engle compare?
Xu Jingshan’s expression froze.
W-net’s s-rank account is not a cabbage, who would just lend it to someone?
“Wouldn’t just have to, looking at you, those who don’t know would think you’ve even joined the Leingale family.” The male cadet pooh-poohed, “You should hold on to Bea’s thighs well, don’t get kicked.”
“Fine, fine, then you guys will wait and see.” Xu Jingshan raged, “The day you turn in your experimental projects, you’ll all be finished, one by one.”
He turned around and headed out.
The male cadet immediately got up and quickly stuffed a small ball into Xu Jingshan’s hood, then pushed him out.
“Boom, boom, boom–”
There was another crackling sound outside, accompanied by Xu Jingshan’s miserable screams.
There was a faintly sickening smell coming from it.
The other group member froze for a moment and decisively turned on the air purifier.
Ye Siqing turned her head slyly, “Just how many stink bombs did you make?”
“Uh!” The male cadet touched his trouser pocket, “There are still three left, do you want them, Senior Sister Ye?”
Ye Siqing: “…… Get as far away as you can.”
If other people knew that their engineering school was making stink bombs, the whole school’s face would be ruined.

Other side.
In the car.
Ying Ziji opened his eyes slightly, raised his hand to his brow bone and looked out the window.
It was only spring in the City of Worlds, and the afternoon sun was warm but not blinding.
“Awake?”
A low, slow voice rang out and a gla*s of chilled juice appeared in front of her.
“Mmm.” Ying Ziji stretched slowly and took it, “Much more comfortable.”
Doing experiments was not like fighting, just hands-on, and she was interested in the fact that she had indeed been overexerting her brain power recently.
Fu Yunshen raised his hand and stroked her head, his voice line lowered, “It does seem like you’ve been quite tired these past few days, wait until you’re done with the experiments and take some time to rest.”
He knew why she was so obsessed with the aerospace experiment.
Even if it was just a one-in-a-million chance, she wanted to meet with her friend.
Ying nodded slightly and unscrewed the cap of the bottle, “How’s the investigation into the matter of auntie’s mother?”
“There are no clues yet.” Fu Yunshen’s tone was cool, “That group of people were so arrogant in the seven continents and four oceans to leave their mark because they knew that not many people could go to the World City, and even fewer people dared to trace it back to the Sage House.”
The House of Sages was a place of pilgrimage in the World City, where else would anyone dare to go against the Sages?
Ying Ziji’s eyes narrowed slightly, “So instead they are very careful in the World City, only occasionally leaving their mark.”
“Well, but, he said he was brain dead at the time, when he was out with his mother and was mobbed by a group of people.” Fu Yun Shen slowly, “Those people are no less powerful than the Four Knights, I suspect it was a shadowy force.”
Sage Magician, it could only be one of them.
The targets this force had moved against were scattered, and their purpose was unknown for the time being.
Ying thought deeply for a moment, “I will also check into it.”
Although Norton had regained his power and memory.
But he had always been a loner before, hadn’t had any close interaction with any sages, and the House of Sages didn’t return much.
Ying propped up his head.
As for Xiu, a sage who dyed his hair every day, she wouldn’t count on it.
“Enough of that, stroll around for a while to relax.” Fu Yunshen stopped the car, his peach blossom eyes curved up, his voice scattered, “I’ve ordered a meal for the evening, to make up for our little friend, we can’t be exhausted.”
The two of them got out of the car.
The big shopping mall in the centre of town was full of people, and there was no cla*s distinction, both commoners and nobles came.
Ying stopped at a clothes rack and pulled up a dress.
The dress was a lolita style, not her favourite style.
Only Norton had sent her a number of such dresses that day and asked her which one looked good.
“This dress really pops, this lady.” The counter girl’s eyes lit up, “There are styles for both adults and children, just now, a handsome silver-haired man bought several sets for his daughter.”
Ying Zidian: “……”
She didn’t need to ask, she knew who it was.
It really was getting sicker and sicker.
**
Evening.
Lab.
“I’m exhausted, I’m finally done.” Ye Siqing slumped on the table, “Wait for the test to be handed in at the weekend, to flash Xu Jingshan’s eyes.”
The members of group b were all excited.
This was the first time they had made a small spaceship, it was worth celebrating.
“Let’s go, my treat.” Ye Siqing waved his hand, “We’ll thank Senior Sister Ying properly when the experiment is over.”
The group was about to leave the lab.
The door was pushed open first.
Seeing the visitor, Ye Siqing froze, “Mentor Mo, Mo Feng?”
Mo Feng gave a faint sweep of his eyes, “You went to the Biogenetic Institute today and beat up your cla*smates?”
Ye Siqing spoke, “Mentor Mo Feng, the thing is this, that student he-”
“Whatever the reason, you should not have struck out at your cla*smate.” Mo Feng raised his hand to stop it, “You guys are so vindictive, if you have any more big experimental projects in the future and you have conflicts with people in your group, will you deliberately send equipment with missing parts?”
The Engineering Academy had always been very cautious.
After all, when it came to aviation, people could be killed if they were not careful.
In the centuries of development of the Engineering Institute, the achievements of today were all paved with the flesh and blood of those who came before us.
Let alone a missing part, even a misalignment could trigger an explosion.
“Pause the test.” Mo Feng indifferently, “All come out with me and receive thoughtful education.”
Ye Siqing’s expression changed, “Mentor Mo Feng!”
If the test was suspended, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?
The male trainees were also anxious, “Mentor Mo Feng, can we put everything after we have handed in the trial?”
“No.” Mo Feng didn’t show any mercy, “Your test code is only grade A, I have the right to suspend your experiment.”
Ye Siqing and the male trainee looked at each other and fell silent.
Indeed.
Mo Feng was an S-rank researcher and the first instructor of the Engineering Academy, his authority had always been great.
But if this matter had nothing to do with Group A, Ye Siqing didn’t believe it at all.
It was common knowledge that Mo Feng had always favoured Bi’er.
“Alright, Mentor Mo Feng.” Ye Siqing slowly exhaled a breath, “We will follow you, but the experiment cannot be suspended, we have a member of the group who did not do it, she is responsible for handing over the experiment.”
Mo Feng was about to nod when a voice rang out.
“Let go.”
It was cool and faint, like floating ice and broken snow, blown away by the wind.
Mo Feng turned his head and wrinkled his eyebrows, seemingly unable to believe it: “What did you say?”
The girl stood in the doorway, her eyes sullen and cold: “I said, let the people go.”
Chapter 710
The four words were not too big and not too small, just enough to spread throughout the lab.
The members of group b also froze.
Ye Siqing was a bit confused, she stammered for a moment, “Ying, senior sister Ying ……”
Having done experiments together for so long, Ye Siqing knew clearly that Ying Ziji was very rigid.
But she really didn’t expect that when she came back, she would directly get into a fight with Mo Feng.
Who is Mo Feng?
The number one tutor in the engineering school.
Apart from Dean Norman and a few vice-deans, Mo Feng had the most power.
Moreover, where else would a student dare to talk to his tutor like that?
Mo Feng’s eyebrows knitted tighter.
He had an impression of Ying Zidian, and it was deep.
But mostly from the girl’s too stunning face.
As soon as Ying Zidian had entered the institution, the heat of discussion about her in the engineering school hadn’t dropped.
Not much else.
Originally, Mo Feng thought that Ying Zidian was the first in this year’s examination, so her knowledge and hands-on ability were not bad.
However, he had followed Bi’er to the lab a few times.
The few times he came here, Mo Feng either saw Ying Zidian playing with the computer or taking a break.
The other members of the group were a*sembling parts, and he didn’t see her move her hands a few times.
The results of the exams were always kept secret, only Dean Norman himself knew.
But if the results are very good, Dean Norman will call the top tutors over and release the real results and ask them if they will accept disciples.
This was how Mo Feng accepted Bi’er back then.
However, this time Dean Norman did not do anything.
This was proof that none of the trainees in this cla*s had scored 85 points.
“Did you do it?” Mo Feng’s gaze added a few moments of dislike, “Do it and go get educated together.”
“Mentor Mo Feng!” Ye Siqing was anxious, “Senior sister Ying didn’t do it, you can go and transfer the surveillance video, she has to hand in her lab project.”
As she said that, she gave the girl a wink.
“Is that so?” Mo Feng blandly, “I see her like this, she even questioned on me, she doesn’t look like someone who can endure it.”
“Just as it happens.” Ying Ziji tilted her head slightly, “I see you don’t look like the first tutor of the engineering school either.”
Mo Feng’s expression suddenly changed and his face instantly sank.
“As a tutor of the Engineering Academy, I know that the Engineering Academy and the Gene Academy have historically had a long-standing grudge, and when something happens, instead of first investigating the causes and consequences and defending the students of the Engineering Academy, you help the Biogenetic Academy to punish us.” Ying Zidian’s eyebrows were distant and her voice was cold, “You are a good tutor, why don’t you go to the Biogenetic Institute? They should welcome you quite well.”
“……”
There was silence in the lab.
The male trainee froze for a few seconds and scratched his head, “Senior Sister Ye, it’s the first time I’ve heard Senior Sister Ying say such long words.”
The a-team that had just walked to the door were stunned.
Bi’er was stunned.
She had known that Ying Zidian was bold after she had beaten up a few senior students from the Biogenetic Academy.
But she didn’t think that Ying could be so bold as this.
“Miss Bi’er, she’s done for.” After Xu Jingshan’s shock, his eyes were gloomy, “Even tutor Mo Feng dares to educate, he will definitely be expelled!”
Being questioned like this, Mo Feng felt an unprecedented embarra*sment.
He sneered, “A few students, what am I wasting words with you, you, will be educated.”
“You, slander your tutor, suspend all Engineering Academy activities and stay in the Academy for inspection!”
He really didn’t believe that he couldn’t even clean up after a few students.
Where was the majesty of the mentor?
“Slander?” Ying Ziji wrapped his arms around him and nodded slightly, “I just recounted what you’ve done, you’re quite funny.”
Ye Siqing covered her face, “It’s over ……”
Mo Feng became even more furious and his face turned green for a while.
He pressed a button on his watch, “Guards, now come–”
Before he could finish his words, an old voice rang out.
“What’s happening?”
There were footsteps coming.
The old man slowly walked into the laboratory and swept a glance, “What is this about?”
Mo Feng’s heart flinched and he respectfully said, “Dean Norman.”
In his heart, however, he was a little puzzled.
Dean Norman had never spent much time in the Engineering Academy, most of the time was spent behind closed doors doing experiments, why did he suddenly come to this side of the cadets’ lab today?
“Dean Norman, these students are disobedient and I was about to send them for education.” Mo Feng said, “And her, she maliciously slandered her tutor, she must be put on probation.”
Probation is no different from expulsion.
Dean Norman didn’t answer at first, but looked at the girl, “Is that so?”
Ying Zidian told the whole story from beginning to end, without adding to it.
When Dean Norman finished listening, his expression cooled down a bit, and his gaze fell back on Mo Feng: “Mentor Mo Feng, did the Biogenetic Institute send you here?”
Mo Feng froze, not really understanding, “Dean Norman?”
“No?” Dean Norman faded, “I thought you were a spy sent over from the Biogenetic Academy side, otherwise why else would you be thinking of punishing all the outstanding students?”
Mo Feng’s complexion changed greatly, and he was instantly slick with cold sweat as he fiercely knelt down on one knee, “Dean Norman, I swear to the twenty-two sages that I am absolutely sincere to the Engineering Academy.”
“Here, you come with me.” Dean Norman pointed to the private compartment in the laboratory, “You proceed with your experiments, the words of a tutor do not count in my case.”
Mo Feng’s face was already too bad to look at, so sunken that water could almost drip out of it.
Ye Siqing rejoiced, “Thank you, Dean Norman.”
She let out a sigh of relief and ran over, her heart palpitating, “Elder sister Ying, it’s lucky that we ran into the dean who happened to come over here for an inspection, otherwise it would have been a bad day.”
One word from Dean Norman could have cancelled Mo Feng’s position.
Ying Ziji raised her eyebrows, “Well, it is indeed a coincidence.”
She lowered her head and exited the communication page with Dean Norman, just as a phone call came in.
Ying Zidian picked up, “Hello.”
“Hi hi boss, it’s Cesar, it’s a lovely day, I’ve opened a bottle of red wine especially for-”
“I don’t want to hear the prelude, let’s play it if you have something to say.”
The flames over there wilted: “Boss, do you know that Norton, that son of a b*tch, he’s been sending me pictures lately.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Hmm?”
“He says you sent him a little girl who looks like a doll.” Cesar said, “He then asked me what clothes were better for a six year old girl.”
Ying: “……”
She needs to have a good conversation with Norton.
“Boss, you can’t be too generous to each other.” Cesar was a bit aggrieved, “Why should he be able to raise a little girl and I can’t? I want one too, and I want one that looks better than him!”
Ying couldn’t listen any longer: “…… I’m hanging up.”
“No, no, no, boss, I’m wrong.” Cesar was serious for a second, “I’m here to deliver something to you, there’s an auction at the beginning of August.”
Ying Ziyi nodded, “An auction?”
Xize had entered the World City a few days before her and had gone to play on his own too.
She hadn’t bothered much, just kept in touch with him.
“Didn’t I tell you that I had ancestors who inexplicably disappeared?” Cesar added, “I only suspected at the time that they had been received into the World City, and now I can be sure, they run that biggest auction house here.”
“Then I got mixed up in it by the way, and then I accidentally got to the top, and now the whole auction house is mine, and I have a vault again.”
Ying Zidian: “……”
This stingy style of wealth collection engraved into the bones of the Laurent family has really been pa*sed down from generation to generation.
“Well, you send it to me, I’ll take a look.” Ying Zigui nodded slightly, “Your medicine was also sent to you, ask me for it again if you don’t have enough.”
The City of Worlds was guarded by the Magi, and it seemed peaceful, but in reality there were dark tides.
It was much more dangerous than even the Ancient Martial World.
Cesar had already experienced death once and his body was much weaker.
Xize spoke cautiously, “I’m not very short of medicine, boss, look, I’m actually short of a-”
Ying Ziyi had little expression, and this time she simply pressed off the phone.
“Senior sister Ying.” Ye Siqing was a little curious, “Who’s calling you?”
“Hmm?” Ying Ziyi yawned, “A friend.”
Bi’er sniffed and glanced gently.
The last time she had gone to the Hacker Alliance she had known something.
Qin Lingyan was the grandson who had been retrieved by the Alliance Chief, and was a civilian before returning to the Hacker Alliance.
It was normal to know Ying Ziyan.
Civilians could only know civilians.
What other great friends could Ying Zidian have.
Bi’er withdrew her gaze and took out a few invitations from her bag, “For next month’s auction, I have a few extra tickets for Area D here, for you.”
Xu Jingshan was overjoyed, “Thank you, Miss Bi’er, thank you.”
After receiving them, he proudly shook the tickets in his hand towards group b: “Ye Siqing, how about you give me an apology and I’ll take you in?”
“This ticket is different, no civilian can get in.”
Ye Siqing snorted, “Narcissism is a disease, please go to the hospital.”
Ying Zidian didn’t listen.
She leaned against the table and pondered slightly.
According to Xiu, there was no such place as the City of Worlds on Earth before.
The twenty-two Magi also lived on Earth, guarding the seven continents and four oceans.
Then something happened and the twenty-two sages developed by relocating a part of the fire of human civilisation to this place, naming it World City.
It has continued until now.
What that event was, Xiu did not talk about it.
Ying Zigui pressed his brow.
**
The other side.
In the private compartment.
The atmosphere was sombre and cramped.
“Ah Mo Feng, I know you think highly of your students, and so do I.” Dean Norman pushed down his gla*ses, “Have you really understood the causes and consequences of this matter?”
“Understood.” Mo Feng frowned, “That student from the Biogenetic Institute just stuck the parts channel, it’s not like he did anything.”
“Moreover, we originally had quite a lot of conflicts with the Biogenetic Academy, they could have given the instructors a word when their parts access was stuck, there was no need to directly take revenge, this would only expand the conflict.”
The development prospect of the Engineering Academy was better than the Biogenetic Academy, but because the Biogenetic Academy stood behind the Sages, they were always weaker.
With the idea of not fighting hard against the Biogenetic Academy, Mo Feng certainly had to back off after these things had happened.
“To the tutors?” Dean Norman laughed, “Mentor Mo Feng, if they really gave you the word, would you really help them?”
Mo Feng was choked for a moment.
If group B came to him, he would only say that they were not as skilled as others and did not have a higher level account.
It wasn’t like Ying Zigui was Bi’er, so why would he need to look after it.
“In this matter, neither student Ying Zidian nor Ye Siqing and the others are in any way at fault.” Dean Norman looked straight at him, “Well, now go out and apologise to them.”
Mo Feng was shocked, “Dean Norman?”
“Apologise.” Dean Norman stood up and pushed open the cubicle door, “Go apologise.”
Under the sight of all the cadets, Mo Feng took a deep breath and walked up to Ying Zigui.
He finally bent down and lowered his head, “I’m sorry.”
Ying Zidian looked up and gave him a look, “It’s okay.”
Mo Feng’s fingers creaked as he walked over to Ye Siqing and the other members of group B and apologised again.
In all the time he had been in the Engineering Academy, he had never really encountered such a thing.
Inside, he was suffocating to the point of explosion.
“Bi’er, let’s go.” Mo Feng gave the girl a deliberate glance, “Turn in your experimental project the day after tomorrow, the w network will be live streaming, prepare well.”
Some people, are about to be revealed in their original form.
Bi’er stood up and followed Mo Feng.
Before they could leave, there was a knock on the door.
A deacon stood at the door, apologetic: “Excuse me, is Miss Ying Zigui in? I’ve been ordered to deliver something to you.”
A single word caused everyone in the laboratory to turn back.
Everyone, including Dean Norman, was amazed.
The technology in the World City had become so advanced that even couriers were not needed, there were courier boxes everywhere.
Just put the courier in the courier box, and there would be special transport tracks and machinery to transport the courier all over World City, which was very convenient and fast.
What is it that still needs to be sent for delivery?
