Chapter 2

Wang Zheng came to stand in front of Yue Jing, "Are you Yue Jing?"

Yue Jing’s gaze swept over Wang Zheng, assessing him in just 0.3 seconds. From head to toe, he was a cheap and unfamiliar presence, someone who was unknown and thus considered useless in school.

Her cheeks lifted slightly as she said indifferently, "I am."

"Hello, this is for you, I..." Wang Zheng took out Yan Xiaosu’s love letter, but before he could finish, Ye Zisu impatiently interrupted him.

"I have no interest in you. Keep this trash to yourself."

Yue Jing lifted her head, her response smooth and practiced, instantly freezing Wang Zheng in a glacial abyss. Ye Zisu smiled slightly, shaking her head at Wang Zheng.

"Zisu, this month I have twenty-nine, five more than you!" Yue Jing said smugly. For different suitors, she had different responses. If they were useful, she might comfort them, but this one was a toad, and it was best to cut off his hopes.

Ye Zisu still smiled, "If you consider a guy with a gene score of twenty-eight as one, I don’t mind."

Yue Jing was taken aback, "You mean he’s the Wang Zheng who made school history?"

Ye Zisu couldn’t help but laugh, while Yue Jing’s face turned ashen. For someone who cared deeply about her reputation, being liked by such a person was a humiliation.

The two girls didn’t avoid Wang Zheng, and every word reached his ears.

Wang Zheng approached them again, and Yue Jing, seeing him, became even more impatient, "What do you want now!"

"Ye classmate, you’re mistaken. This love letter is from my friend Yan Xiaosu, he likes you." Despite the harsh words, Wang Zheng wasn’t angry.

"Yan Xiaosu?" Ye Zisu burst into laughter, "Xiao Jing, you’re glowing! Yan Xiaosu is the nouveau riche who makes sanitary napkins, Little Fortune Star Sanitary Napkins."

Yue Jing’s expression turned to rage, and she tore the love letter to shreds, throwing it in Wang Zheng’s face, "Get lost!"

With a roar, she turned and walked away. Ye Zisu was delighted; though they were friends and competitors, she had never seen Yue Jing so humiliated.

Ye Zisu, still laughing, noticed that Wang Zheng was just quietly watching, neither angry nor dejected.

"Ah, you’re not angry?" Ye Zisu was curious.

Wang Zheng smiled, "A dog bites a man, but a man doesn’t bite a dog. Seeing her shallowness is a lucky thing for my friend."

Wang Zheng walked away calmly. This was for the best; such a woman wasn’t suitable for Yan Xiaosu, it would shorten his life.

Ye Zisu was taken aback, looking at Wang Zheng’s back with surprise. This guy was quite cool.

This incident was just a small episode for Wang Zheng. He had thought about it all night. He felt he couldn’t give up, perhaps he should try joining the military directly, even as a logistics soldier. It was said that good soldiers could be sent to military academies for further training, or even be promoted to mobile warriors.

He really believed he could be a good soldier.

Wang Zheng, who had grown up without his parents, was very independent. For nearly sixteen years, he had never doubted himself, but this evaluation was a blow.

"Do you believe in yourself, or in the evaluation?"

Not long after, Wang Zheng stood on a large rock by the lake, looking at the rippling water. His mood lightened. Twenty-eight was just twenty-eight, so what? In human history, there were many successful people without talent. Einstein was a fool as a child, and Alan Turing almost didn’t get into university!

"I, Wang Zheng, will become a glorious mobile warrior. War God Academy, prepare to welcome your master! Charge!"

Roar~~~ Young people need passion!

To hell with gene scores!

His voice was loud, and Wang Zheng leaped with passion, as if the gate of War God Academy was right in front of him, moving forward without hesitation.

...

In mid-air, Wang Zheng suddenly remembered a very serious issue. Damn, he couldn’t swim.

Splash...

Not far away, a series of shouts echoed, "Someone jumped into the lake, quick, save him!"

After staying up all night and part of the afternoon, Yan Xiaosu emerged, feeling extremely lucky. "Kids" always had such a pleasant time during holidays, winning eight out of ten games, very comfortable.

He was the super VIP here. After a good time, lunch was already served. Opening his communication device, he scanned the campus news as usual. With graduation approaching, the campus atmosphere was a bit heavy, and the gene evaluation scores had hit many people hard.

A red headline flashed by, only fresh and spicy news appeared in this color. Yesterday, Ye Zisu’s gene score of ninety-two had severely hit the "losers," a perfect combination of beauty, intelligence, and wealth, a goddess.

A passionate young man failed to confess to the goddess Ye Zisu and jumped into the lake to show his resolve!!!

There were over a thousand replies, perhaps because everyone was too depressed recently, this news was like a timely rain, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the crowd.

Yan Xiaosu was delighted, "Damn, dare to compete with me, you have to bear the tragic consequences!"

Good things must be shared with friends!

He immediately called Wang Zheng. As soon as the call connected, Yan Xiaosu, like a hyperactive mushroom, said, "Boss, did you see the school newspaper? A new idiot failed to confess to my goddess and jumped into the lake. Tell me, is there anyone dumber than him? This guy can be recorded in the history of Dawn Middle School, hahaha."

Feeling the other end was quiet, "Hey, boss, are you listening?"

On the other side, Wang Zheng lay on a hospital bed, holding his communication device, and said word by word, "Yan Xiaosu, I am the new idiot you’re talking about, the one who will be recorded in history!"

Pfft...

Yan Xiaosu’s soup splashed all over the waiter’s face, "Could it be..."

"This girl isn’t suitable for you." Wang Zheng sighed, explaining the situation briefly.

"Boss, I was just trying, you’re so moved, you even jumped into the lake to show your resolve!"

Yan Xiaosu was extremely moved, truly a true brother, willing to die to atone for failure.

"Get lost, I slipped!" Wang Zheng roared, and Yan Xiaosu was already laughing uncontrollably.

It was truly a day of misfortune. At this moment, the doctor walked over, "Alright, go back and rest. Young man, you can’t even handle a little setback, what will you do in the future!"

Wang Zheng’s face turned red, feeling extremely embarrassed. He had to bear this black pot.

He could only smile bitterly and nod. Fortunately, it was the weekend tomorrow, at least this matter could cool down for two days. ... Who the hell put it in the school newspaper.

Wang Zheng became famous, with a gene score of twenty-eight and a lake jump, he went from being unknown for three years to suddenly becoming well-known.

It took only twenty minutes to get home by magnetic levitation public transport, but... it was quite remote, far from the city.

Not going home, as there was no one there, Wang Zheng went straight to the bookstore across the street.

The bookstore was run by an old man, everyone called him Old Jia. He had been here for about ten years. Reading in a bookstore had become a cultural enjoyment, but the problem was that Old Jia’s bookstore was full of very profound books, especially in science, leading to few customers. Wang Zheng just chatted with the old man, and over time, they became friends.

Old Jia had two hobbies, drinking and teaching.

His only student was Wang Zheng.

"Old Jia, Old Jia, I’m back, I’m starving." Wang Zheng threw his bag and went to find food.

"You brat, you’ll eat me poor one day." An old man was leisurely reading a book, "Have you finished the Yafang number theory I gave you?"

"Long finished, nothing new. By the way, why don’t you get a communication device, it would be so convenient." After a day of trouble, Wang Zheng was really hungry.

After completing Old Jia’s homework, Wang Zheng could eat and stay here for free. This unique combination had lasted for more than eight years. From the basics of number theory to now, Wang Zheng’s knowledge was far beyond the school level.

Old Jia didn’t speak, waiting quietly for Wang Zheng to finish eating, then pointed to the chair opposite, "Come, let’s chat. Do you think Yafang’s theory of untouchable space is correct?"

Wang Zheng wiped his mouth, "Compared to Yafang, I prefer Tuko’s parallel theory. There is indeed a cosmic energy barrier between parallel spaces, but according to the theory of momentum, there must be a moment when natural alignment can occur, though the probability is almost zero."

Old Jia nodded in satisfaction, "You’re a natural scientist, why be a mobile warrior, that’s a waste of a smart brain."

"Ah, how did you know my gene score is only twenty-eight?" Wang Zheng blurted out.

Old Jia was taken aback, "Twenty-eight... you... you’re quite a character!"

Wang Zheng wanted to slap himself, why did he say that so quickly.

He shrugged helplessly, "Life is given by parents, can’t be changed. I’m not interested in being a scientist, life is about movement, old people can’t understand!"

Old Jia didn’t laugh, "I hope you can maintain your optimistic spirit no matter what. To become a great person, you must laugh at life."

"Old Jia, don’t talk as if you’ve met great people. After graduation, I’ll sign up for the military, and I might not be able to visit you often." Wang Zheng said.

Old Jia smiled, "You think you’re a treasure. But for your age, you’ve done well. Remember, mathematics is the foundation of everything. Even if you become a mobile warrior, it will be useful. Physics is the big picture of the universe, understanding one leads to understanding all. Be a smart warrior!"

Old Jia was a passionate scientist, but it was hard to understand why he ran a small bookstore. Every time he talked about it, there was an indescribable pride.

"Kid, you’re about to become an adult. This is my gift to you."

Saying this, Old Jia placed a simply wrapped box on the table.

"Wow, no way, the legendary miser Old Jia is giving a gift?
