No matter what the situation, Soren was very happy. He had already set a record, and the first step of his plan had succeeded, which greatly alleviated his pressure. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known what would happen next.
Currently, Soren was working on Lin Huayin's Earth concert. The company, Heavenly Echo, was quite mysterious and seemed to be well-funded. Lin Huayin was extremely popular, but her endorsement activities were mostly for public welfare.
Despite not lacking money, Soren still had to work hard. Through a good cooperative relationship, this would elevate both the Skeleton Plan and CT's Asian region to a new level.
It's worth noting that the advertising fees for the live TV broadcast of the concert had already skyrocketed, as this was Lin Huayin's first visit to Earth.
Of course, the police in the capital were very busy and extremely tense. The more people there were, the more they had to prevent any chaos. Recently, the exposure rate of the Solar System Federation, especially Earth, had increased since the princess. Now, Lin Huayin's arrival was sending positive signals, indicating that the Aslan Empire was willing to improve relations with the Solar System Federation.
Currently, in terms of politics, economy, and especially technology, the Solar System Federation was in dire need of the Aslan Empire's assistance. At the same time, it needed to save face. In this situation, everything had to be done to the best of their ability.
It was said that the VIP tickets for the concert had been sold out internally, with many big shots from the political and economic circles snapping them up.
Of course, the concert had to cater to young people, especially students. The fan club was handling the relevant matters, but tickets were indeed hard to come by.
Wang classmate had no concept of this, thinking that spending a dollar on Tianxin to listen was good enough. However, the enthusiasm around him was hard to resist, even surpassing the enthusiasm for the exchange matches between the three military academies.
To win the lady's heart, the rich Su put in a lot of effort and managed to get two tickets. Regardless of how much it cost, the thought and effort he put in made An Mei very happy.
Fortunately, Aina and Wang Zheng were similar. Although they liked it, they weren't fanatical fans.
The school was already making intensive preparations. Zhang Shan was rarely seen, and Meng Tian had only been seen once since returning, during training. It was said that the tactics for this time had to be kept completely confidential.
Wang Zheng continued his routine training and classes, and in his free time, he accompanied Aina. The two toured the capital together, and Wang classmate finally made a small fortune.
After treating everyone last time, he checked his balance and found that he had over 100,000 in income. This was a huge sum for Wang Zheng, at least ensuring that he wouldn't have to worry about tuition and living expenses in the future.
Although Aina was a princess, she didn't have any airs. On the contrary, she wasn't interested in expensive things but loved street snacks. The first gift Wang Zheng gave Aina was a small bear pendant, made of glass. He bought it on a whim for 10 yuan, calling it a handicraft from human civilization. After buying it, he realized it was a bit... too cheap, but Aina loved it very much.
Wang classmate couldn't help but feel happy for a long time. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if this was the legendary "bitterness turning to sweetness."
There was no doubt that college life was the most beautiful, even for a military academy.
Behind the cafeteria, two large tables were pushed together, and a group of people sat with serious expressions, suddenly bursting into laughter.
"Are you kidding me, this is possible!" the rich Su said dejectedly.
His face was almost like a mask.
An Mei smiled and patted Xiao Su, "Good boy, one more."
She then took out her lipstick and drew a cross on the remaining space on Xiao Su's face.
Wang Zheng, Xiao Su, Yao Ailun, and Chen Xiu sat on one side, while Aina, Ye Zisu, An Mei, and Du Qingqing sat on the other.
The card game was never boring; they were playing Blackjack.
If the boys lost, the girls would draw pictures with lipstick. If the girls lost, they would be stuck with stickers.
Without a doubt, the best players were Wang Zheng and Yao Ailun. Chen Xiu and the rich Su were just there to lose. On the girls' side, Aina and Du Qingqing were the worst, with many stickers on them.
Wang Zheng felt a bit sorry, but Aina was having a great time.
"Wang Zheng, have you and Yao Ailun practiced? I never see you lose!" Du Qingqing said, frustrated. These two were really pulling everyone's hate.
Yao Ailun pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his small eyes sparkling with wisdom, "It's just a simple math problem, calculate the probability."
"Wang Zheng, what about you? I never see you calculate!" An Mei said, her eyes wide. "Our rich Su is almost finished."
Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly, "I guess I have good luck."
In fact, Wang Zheng did calculate, instinctively. This kind of mental arithmetic was simple for him, especially when playing with rookies. Playing with Old Jia was much more intense, with time limits and mutual distractions, but Wang Zheng usually ended up losing badly. Despite his age, Old Jia's mind was still sharp.
"Is this luck? You could be a gambling god!"
Ye Zisu also laughed, "Shishi, is this your first time playing?"
Aina smiled and nodded. It wasn't about the game but the atmosphere. Looking at Aina's curious and adorable face, Wang Zheng secretly held her hand under the table.
The boys were casual, but the girls were very perceptive.
"Let's stop, playing with you science students is no fun. The competition starts in three days, I wonder how Zhang Shan and Meng Tian are doing. They are the pride of our freshmen, I hope they can do well this time!"
An Mei said, taking out a wet wipe to clean Xiao Su's face.
"We have Masas, shouldn't it be fine?" Xiao Su said.
"Don't be too superstitious about the Moon people's strength. Apollo and Zeus academies are not easy to deal with. We just need to avoid a terrible loss!"
Yao Ailun laughed.
"Brother Ailun, it's not that bad, right? Our strength is strong this time?" Chen Xiu asked, puzzled.
"Ha, how can only our academy recruit? The other academies are also trying to get stronger and focus on local talent. Although Earth's average level is weaker, think about how many Aslan elites immigrated from Earth?"
Yao Ailun said, his analysis calm and organized, the best among the 007s.
"Does that mean we are doomed?" Chen Xiu said dejectedly, and the girls were also worried.
"There's no way. From what I know, the leaders of both academies are terrifying experts."
"How do you know that?" Du Qingqing asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, you know Wild King, right? He's a special recruit at Apollo Military Academy and is now part of our Skeleton Corps. He likes playing CT, but his level is only enough for a substitute at Apollo."
Everyone looked at each other, and Yao Ailun continued, "This exchange is very important. Outstanding performers will have the chance to represent Earth in the Solar System Military Academy Competition, so some people who usually don't show up will also come."
Ye Zisu nodded, "That's true. The mechs used in the competition are provided by OMG. Those who enter this competition will become pillars of the military after graduation, usually directly entering the Solar System Federation Military."
Everyone's eyes lit up. In the galaxy, the Solar System Federation held a seat, but internally, it was divided into three major planetary federations: Earth Federation, Moon Federation, and Mars Federation. Each federation had its own military, but the Solar System Federation Military was the highest level, with ranks that no ordinary military could match.
For any military academy student, the goal was to serve in the Solar System Federation Military, and only such a stage would offer a broader future.
"Really? Then we might just be disappointed. Everyone was hoping to win this time!"
An Mei said dejectedly, clearly not exaggerating.
"Strength is the key. It's not easy to turn things around, and Masas is unreliable, likely to leave at any time." Yao Ailun wiped his glasses.
"You seem to be a pessimist." An Mei glanced at Yao Ailun.
Yao Ailun smiled, "I just like to be realistic."
"Damn, we'll deal with it as it comes. We're not in the military department, let's look forward to Lin Huayin's concert."
Xiao Su changed the topic, and Wang Zheng felt a bit regretful. This level was definitely much harder than CT. The key was that no matter how difficult CT was, it couldn't match the real-life experience of life and death. Sigh, it was all because of that guy Bones, causing trouble at a critical moment.
With his strength, even if he couldn't be the main player, he wouldn't have been sent back directly.
No matter what, what was coming would come. The visiting delegations from Zeus Military Academy and Apollo Military Academy arrived, and Gut gave them the highest reception. The school was also very lively.
The battle wouldn't start immediately. First, there were student council activities. Wu Jin, the student council president of War God Academy, warmly welcomed everyone as the student representative.
The main focus was on combat, with comprehensive exchange and research, as well as visits, culminating in the sparring matches.
The captain of Apollo Academy was Kanbena, a third-year student, the champion of the previous year, from the Command Department, and also the student council president, enjoying supreme prestige at Apollo Academy.
The captain of Zeus Academy was Lier Kronos, a first-year student, the student council president, and from the Command Department. A complete newcomer, unheard of for a first-year to be the student council president. Unlike Kanbena's fame, this person was a newcomer, indicating that Zeus Academy was also focusing on developing new talent.
The captain of War God Academy was Masas, a first-year student from the Command Department, also a newcomer as captain.
Clearly, Zeus Academy and War God Academy were using this method to compete with Apollo Academy. In terms of tradition, Apollo Academy did better.
Although they were opponents, Kanbena was the most popular, a super star in the university world. He was guaranteed to join the Solar System Federation's elite fleet after graduation, possibly starting as a lieutenant, a rank that others would struggle to reach.
