Chapter 76

Ye Xiao turned his head and saw Park Jeong-saeng.

"Do you two know each other?"

Qin Yuyan looked at Ye Xiao and Park Jeong-saeng with some surprise, seemingly puzzled by their acquaintance.

These two, one is a bookworm who only reads in the library, and the other is a sword enthusiast who only practices in the martial arts hall.

Aren't they both the type who never step out of their rooms?

How could they have any connection?

Park Jeong-saeng said,

"Once, I went to the library to borrow a book and met Mr. Ye."

"I see."

"You two are on a date, right? I won't disturb you."

With one sentence, Qin Yuyan's face instantly turned red.

But before Qin Yuyan could explain, Park Jeong-saeng turned and left, heading in another direction.

Along the way, some naive girls occasionally tried to get Park Jeong-saeng's contact information, but he ignored them all and walked straight to the direction of the martial arts practice hall.

"That Korean guy is quite interesting, different from the others. Most of them don't have such high standards."

Ye Xiao watched his back and couldn't help but comment.

Qin Yuyan glanced at him with a slight sense of guilt and then explained,

"I heard that seven-eighths of his bloodline is from Jiuzhou, and only one-eighth is from Hanzhou."

"I see."

"He is a very decent person, not tainted by the low standards of other Koreans. The reason my grandfather wanted him as an exchange student is based on this. Otherwise, no matter how good his qualifications or reputation, my grandfather wouldn't have accepted him."

"Is that the only reason?"

Qin Yuyan smiled helplessly.

"No, he is a disciple of Hanzhou's Sword Saint, Liu Chengxun. My grandfather wants to learn some of Liu Chengxun's sword techniques and moves from him."

"Doing so is actually a bit despicable for a martial artist."

"But my grandfather has no choice."

"In the past two hundred years, Jiuzhou has suffered multiple large-scale star beast attacks, and many traditions have been lost."

"Moreover, with the technological封锁 of the various states, Jiuzhou's genetic technology and war technology have not been able to develop."

"So... any opportunity to strengthen and revitalize Jiuzhou's martial arts, my grandfather will not let it go."

Ye Xiao fell silent.

It must be said that it is because of the silent persistence and efforts of these people that Jiuzhou has remained standing in the East.

They are the backbone of Jiuzhou.

An individual may be insignificant, but many people are silently contributing to Jiuzhou, and ultimately, they will support a towering giant.

In his previous life, Ye Xiao admired those unsung heroes and great scientists who devoted their lives to their country!

Now that he is in Jiuzhou and has some ability, he should naturally contribute his share to the country.

This is not some kind of savior complex, but the responsibility of a Jiuzhou man.

Jiuzhou's martial arts traditions have declined, which is indeed bad for Jiuzhou.

But there will be a chance to make up for it eventually, given Jiuzhou's foundation.

Moreover, martial arts strength cannot be changed overnight.

However, Jiuzhou's war technology development is struggling. If he could contribute some war technology data to Jiuzhou, it might bring a significant boost to Jiuzhou's overall strength, and the effects would be rapid!

Speaking of which, the few American fighter jets he encountered in space seemed quite good. The pilots had to be grandmasters, so their value must be considerable.

At that time, he had already scanned the entire fighter jet with the Tai Xuan Tian Gang, so he was quite familiar with its structure and materials.

What if... he drew the design plans?

After all, it belongs to America, and America likes to steal others' things. Being stolen once can be considered a contribution to society.

Besides, what's the difference between copying design plans and copying homework?

It's just writing and drawing with a pencil on paper, no big deal, and it won't get anyone pregnant.

I'm sure American scientists would understand and be grateful for helping to promote their inventions.

"Ye Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Yuyan called out, and Ye Xiao came out of his silence, then looked at her.

"Nothing, if there's nothing else, I'll go back. I only took a half-day off."

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Gu Hai and Wanwan?"

"No need, they are in their own world of love. I don't want to be a third wheel. Goodbye."

Ye Xiao bid farewell to Qin Yuyan and left, and she couldn't help but shake her head.

"That guy, he's probably going back to the library to read. He's beyond saving."

...

In the City Lord's residence, Du Changfeng was discussing the city's future planning and construction with Du Tianyu, Qin Shenglong, and Ouyang Yunzhong.

"The foundation of a city lies in the library. The library must be further improved to absorb more martial arts techniques, maintain a fresh flow of blood, and help martial artists find suitable techniques.

I have some students in Chuzhou who are doing quite well. I can use my connections to bring in more techniques, especially high-level techniques needed by elites!"

"The Martial Arts Academy also needs to expand. I plan to establish several key postgraduate classes to cultivate a batch of high-quality martial artists. At the same time, I want to set up a research class to place students with low cultivation but deep academic achievements, to cultivate a batch of technological talents."

As soon as Qin Shenglong finished speaking, Du Changfeng raised his hand in agreement.

"Absolutely, technological talents are currently in short supply and highly valued in Jiuzhou. If we can cultivate a few, the benefits in the short term will be significant.

Unfortunately, we don't have the support of American scientists. Their new technologies are really too advanced. We can only look on with envy!"

Just as he finished speaking, a secretary quickly brought a file folder to Du Changfeng.

"Professor Du, please take a look at this."

"What is it?"

"I don't know who gave it to me. By the time I noticed, it was already in my hands."

Du Changfeng's expression changed. He knew his secretary, who was currently at the Seventh Rank of the Innate stage.

For someone to place the envelope in her hand without her noticing, that person's strength must not be underestimated!

He immediately opened the file folder, and when he saw what was inside, he lost his composure as a university professor and burst out with a curse!

"Damn!"
