Chapter 15

In the blink of an eye, it was only one night later, and Tang Zheng's powerful heart, which was like a comedian, had already forgotten the incident where he was knocked out by five cups of rice wine.

However, just because he forgot, it didn't mean others were willing to forget with him.

"Look, look, that's Teacher Tang. He was out after just a few drinks yesterday."

"Does that mean we don't have to attend classes these few days?"

"Of course. Uncle has already said that Teacher Tang will rest for three days before starting formal classes."

"Ha, so if we don't want to attend class in the future, we can just get Teacher Tang to drink?"

"Oh my goodness! You are so smart!"

On his way to the training ground, Tang Zheng heard the whispers of the young children of all sizes. For the first time, he felt that having the ears of a professional gamer wasn't such a happy thing.

When others spoke so sincerely in whispers, could it be a bit disrespectful to hear every word clearly?

Just as he arrived at the training ground, Tang Xiaotang came towards him.

"Don't mention drinking!" Tang Zheng quickly cut her off.

"Ha ha ha ha," Tang Xiaotang, seeing his gloomy face, immediately understood everything, "Then can I mention something else? For example, the half of 'Seven Persuasions of Wine' that Teacher Tang recited last night has already been framed, and I'll hang it in the school soon!"

"Ah?" Tang Zheng waved his hand, "No, that wasn't written by me. I was reciting someone else's poem."

"Reciting? Someone else's..." Tang Xiaotang gave him a glare, "Who are you trying to fool?"

"Of course, I'm fooling a three-year-old... Wait, I'm not lying! I really recited it, truly and honestly!"

"Tsk," Tang Xiaotang glanced at him, "Do you think my head is also on the ground? Zixie recited half of it, and you continued from there. If that could be recited, it would be a miracle!"

"We could still be friends if you didn't mention the head-on-the-ground thing!" Tang Zheng spread his hands, helplessly, "Believe it or not, I really recited it!"

"Fine, keep lying. If you have the skills, tell me whose poem you recited." Tang Xiaotang didn't believe him at all.

"Li... Bai?"

"Who is that?"

"Alright, let's change it to Tian Meng. Yes, in critical moments, brothers are for taking the blame."

"Hmm, that sounds more like the truth. Anything else?"

"Nothing." Tang Zheng surrendered.

While talking, they walked to the training ground.

In the初级 training ground, a group of children were still practicing with the instructor, each punch and kick executed with great seriousness.

In the intermediate training ground, the young boys and girls were engaging in practical combat.

Most of their star constellations behind them were thorns or thorn flowers, in various colors.

Tang Zheng took a quick glance and found that among this generation of the Tang Family, those who had activated one star in their destiny palace had already reached about 80-90%!

And the few who hadn't activated their star constellations were receiving special "attention" from their siblings—constantly being challenged to practical combat.

Tang Zheng watched for a long time before he understood what this was.

This, it turned out, was a family.

A family he had never seen in his previous life.

"By the way, Teacher Tang," just as Tang Xiaotang was about to step into the training ground, she turned back, slapped her head, and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Uncle Two asked me to ask you for your identity plaque."

"Identity plaque?"

"Yes, the one with your name, the family you were born into, and your birth date and time..." Tang Xiaotang used her small hands to indicate the size, "Can I borrow it for a moment?"

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered.

Identity plaque?

From Tang Xiaotang's description, the identity plaque seemed to be like an ID card?

What a joke! The Starlight Continent actually has ID cards!

"If... if it's lost?" Tang Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "You know, Tian Meng and I encountered bandits, and our book bags are gone..."

"That would be a bit troublesome. If it's lost, you need to get a replacement quickly." Tang Xiaotang didn't notice any loopholes in Tang Zheng's explanation, "All identity plaques on the Starlight Continent are made by the Hundred Refinements Workshop. There's a branch in Wulong Town where you can get a replacement. It won't be too difficult."

Tang Zheng nodded.

Although he didn't know what the Hundred Refinements Workshop was, since all identity plaques on the continent were made by the same place, the identity information must be globally networked. And from the name "Hundred Refinements Workshop," he knew they must have specific anti-counterfeiting methods for the identity plaques.

So, if he made one himself with a hammer, it probably wouldn't work!

"However, the Hundred Refinements Workshop might not have anyone these two days... Canglan Manor has borrowed their people to find the one who destroyed their flower fields..." Tang Xiaotang thought for a moment, "Wait for about ten days, and it should be fine."

"Alright, alright." Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had saved himself from a self-inflicted problem because Canglan Manor had occupied the Hundred Refinements Workshop's personnel, giving him at least ten days to think of a solution.

Although he could easily make up a lie to get past the identity plaque issue, an ID card would be needed in the future, so it was better to solve it in Wulong Town directly!

...

Cloud Palm Crane! Throat Seal! Spiral Thrust!

Tang Zheng already had over a dozen strands of star power in his body. With the help of star power, his originally proficient footwork became even more elusive and unpredictable. He was also becoming more adept at controlling the flow of star power within his body. Now, when he reached a tactical position, his star power could keep up, but there was still some delay as it flowed through each meridian.

"No problem, just keep practicing!" Tang Zheng had practiced for dozens of hours at a time in games before, so he wasn't afraid of this monotonous training.

Tang Zheng was still practicing in the corner of the初级 training ground, while Meng Fenghua was teaching the children some basic moves in the center.

The morning passed quickly.

At noon, during the break, Meng Fenghua brought Little Lingdang over.

"Hey, you've grown taller, Little Lingdang." Tang Zheng patted Little Lingdang's head.

"But you said the same thing yesterday..." Little Lingdang pouted her tender little mouth.

"Yes, but just because you grew taller yesterday doesn't mean you can't grow taller today."

"..." Little Lingdang was speechless. He made a good point.

Tang Zheng and Meng Fenghua sat down beside the training ground.

Meng Fenghua seemed to hesitate for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Teacher Tang, you don't want to reveal your true identity, right?"

"Ah?" Tang Zheng didn't expect Meng Fenghua to ask this.

"I heard what Xiaotang said this morning," Meng Fenghua's voice was cold like moonlight, but to Tang Zheng, it carried a hint of gentleness, "People who come to Wulong Town often have many pasts they don't want to mention. To be honest, when my sisters and I first came to Wulong Town, we changed our identities several times."

Tang Zheng understood. She was here to help!

Meng Fenghua's voice dropped even lower as she whispered an address: "Wulong Town West Street, Treasure Pavilion, first floor and a half."

She didn't explicitly say what the address was for, but if Tang Zheng still didn't understand, he would be too ungrateful for her kindness!

"Turns out... we are both wanderers. Thank you!" Tang Zheng patted her shoulder.

Meng Fenghua didn't respond, stood up with Little Lingdang, and soon walked away.

Although Meng Fenghua only said it once, Tang Zheng had already memorized it word for word—Wulong Town West Street, Treasure Pavilion, first floor and a half. This should be the place to get the identity plaque!

With these three days off due to his "drunkenness," he planned to check out the place Meng Fenghua mentioned and buy some ink patterns.

"Wait a moment." Tang Zheng suddenly realized a serious problem, "I... seem to have no money!"

Whether it was to forge an ID or buy ink patterns, he couldn't go empty-handed, right?

He didn't know the price of ink patterns, but based on his past experience, just making a nationally networked ID with a file wasn't cheap!

"Hey, old buddy, give me some power!" Tang Zheng's eyes moved to his purple-gold belt.

If he couldn't open this belt soon, he wouldn't be able to get the identity plaque or the ink patterns, and his start on the Starlight Continent would be stuck!

Tang Zheng didn't think much more and hurried back to his room...

Wave after wave of star power surged, and the star power in his body became increasingly robust. In Tang Zheng's perception, the space inside his purple-gold belt appeared smoothly and clearly.

Dozens of strands of star power, like wisps of smoke, probed into the space of the purple-gold belt, lighting up the entire space like candles, gradually brightening it.

Blocks of purple-gold bricks were neatly stacked, filling the entire space. Since it was a spatial item, there was no need for people to go in and out, so there wasn't even a walkway between the bricks, filling the space tightly.

The lack of a walkway was a minor issue, but the major problem was that this space had no door!

Without a door, how could he take out the bricks?

"Ah!" Just a short while of inspecting the independent space, Tang Zheng's forehead was already drenched in sweat.

As sweat droplets fell to the ground, Tang Zheng gritted his teeth and persisted, gathering his star power to the farthest corner of the space...

Impact, collision!

Tang Zheng's star power was still too weak to create a passage to retrieve the purple-gold bricks from the space.

He quickly became exhausted and had to release his control over the star power.

A large area of the bed was already soaked with his sweat.

"Don't be stubborn, old buddy, I will find a way..." Tang Zheng's eyes were determined, "I am the top professional gamer, there must be a way..."
