Movie Release: Alone, Saving Civilization's Only Home

But just as Lin Xiqing was conjuring up a whole series of scenarios that had nothing to do with Su Wen...

In the blink of an eye, Su Wen had already disappeared into the crowd.

He didn't dare waste any time. After all, Director Yan's lectures were notoriously brutal, with a high failure rate and an even lower pass rate for retakes.

He really had bad luck signing up for physics.

By the time he made it to the lecture hall door, The classroom was already quiet and the lecture was underway.

He could only sheepishly make his way from the back row to Jiang Menghan, who had empty seats on either side of her, under Director Yan's watchful gaze.

"Su Wen, right? Twenty minutes late. That's ten points off your attendance grade for the semester."

Director Yan certainly lived up to their name; the first thing it did was deduct points.

It had spotted Su Wen sneaking in right away.

These young people today – they might skip class, but still take the time to look good.

Does being handsome earn extra credit?

It asked sternly, "And did you complete the physics group model you were assigned yesterday?"

Su Wen was truly screwed.

He'd spent half the day doing 'voluntary labor' and had fallen asleep out of exhaustion. Now, it was a double whammy.

He looked at Jiang Menghan next to him, but was met with Miss Jiang's cold expression.

He had no choice but to start making things up:

"Based on Professor Gu Liunian's article, Shallow Activated Dark Matter Field Theory Based on Strong Interaction, published in the leading scientific journal, I used the Finnish Science Information Centre's open-source Elmer software to simulate the divergent field, but only obtained a Fluid-like Model."

"Professor Gu is a well-known theoretical physicist. That's a cutting-edge viewpoint he proposed during a visit to All Souls College at Oxford University. It's already good that you were able to simulate a Fluid-like Model. Su Wen, I hope you can put as much effort into being on time for class as you do into competitions."

He finally managed to escape this predicament.

Amidst envious and jealous glances, he finally sat down.

The reason for the envy and jealousy wasn't because of how well he'd spoken, but because this guy was sitting next to Jiang Menghan, the top-ranked student in the year and an ice-cold beauty.

And, Probably because he was quite handsome.

"Well said."

"Jiang, the academic, please help a person to the end. If I can't answer, I might as well skip class."

Su Wen thought it was better to get more sleep than to suffer multiple social embarrassments.

"I don't think it will be difficult for you."

"Please lower your perception of me next time."

"Then if you get zero on the next test, I'll post on the BOSS community to mock you."

"That's too much. Can't you avoid extremes?"

"The 'Strong Interaction affecting Dark Matter activation' model you mentioned earlier is very interesting. Let's run a simulation in your room after class."

"Run a basic theoretical model, or rather, an unproven Dark Matter field theory model? Do you want to completely destroy my used graphics card?

Let's talk about the matter of posting on the BOSS community to mock me, instead."

Su Wen was resolute.

Even if you're an ice-cold beauty, you can't touch my graphics card.

This time, Jiang Menghan was speechless.

Time passed quickly.

And just like that, It was time for class to end.

The surrounding students were all excitedly discussing what had happened yesterday.

Having slept for half a day and a night, Su Wen was clearly a bit out of touch with the times. He asked the girl next to him:

"Did anything big happen last night?"

Jiang Menghan looked at him with a hint of surprise, "I thought you knew. An anonymous account released a large-scale production movie at midnight, and it caused a global sensation as soon as it was released."

Su Wen opened his phone.

Sure enough, all the major video websites were dominated by it.

The movie was titled: Alone, Saving Civilization's Only Home

The plot described how, from the Cretaceous Period to the end of the Origin Era, environmental degradation had destroyed the ozone layer, creating a huge temperature difference between the sunlit and shaded sides of the Earth.

The 'Spaceship Faction' became the final choice, and humanity had no choice but to leave its Home Star.

Three thousand years later, the protagonist, who failed to leave in time due to the cryogenic preservation plan, became the sole survivor.

By chance, he connected to the Starship's communication channel.

With the support of the Starship civilization's thousand years of technological advancement and the legacy resources of the old era.

The protagonist began an incomparably lonely journey to save the world.

And Su Wen was extremely familiar with that figure.

That was his in-game avatar, slightly tweaked to resemble a person of European mixed descent based on his own appearance.

Plus, he wore a helmeted astronaut life-support suit most of the time.

So, other than himself, probably no one would associate them together.

[I used to think home was behind us, but now, we have no home.]

[No matter where the final result leads human history, we have decided to choose hope!]

These two lines from the movie became trending buzzwords.

On this day.

Whether it was a Bard on the Aegean Sea coast, a Scandinavian sailor, or an office worker in Northern California.

Everyone was shocked by this sci-fi epic with its extremely exquisite visuals and grand plot.

But at the same time.

Perhaps only Su Wen himself knew.

That was also Qin Mingyuan's conversation with him across time and space.

It was also the final slogan seen when the Starship returned three thousand years later and saw the Eden Life Cycle System in full bloom.

He nodded, his words filled with calmness.

"It's indeed very touching."

Jiang Menghan had a similar feeling.

She didn't like romance dramas that would lower people's intelligence.

But who wouldn't like a hard sci-fi epic that used civilization as its banner and loneliness as its keynote?

"I'm going to watch this movie again carefully when I get back."

Su Wen understood that this should be the result of the ['Time Travel' game].

But he very much approved of this story.

Thinking of this.

He hadn't used the [Appraisal] he got yesterday yet.

So he looked at Miss Jiang beside him.

[Appraisal: Jiang Menghan, five-star Extraordinary potential, extremely bad luck.

Suffered widespread cold violence in both junior high and high school due to bad luck, strong personal will, requires Mind Essence [Sacrifice] or Origin Knowledge [Space Folding] [Warp Jump] to activate Extraordinary potential.]

Su Wen didn't feel like he had encountered any bad luck since he had known Jiang Menghan for so long.

At most, he was officially removed from the Su family.

His savings became negative.

His residence became an old house in Old Town.

And his bicycle would clang and clatter when he rode it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt like he was withering, like a fallen leaf in autumn.

No wonder he often heard of people who confessed to Miss Jiang crashing into trees or tripping on flat ground.

He used to think that this ice-cold beauty with a less-than-ideal personality was pretty, but not pretty enough to make people crash into trees.

Now that he had appraised her.

Su Wen realized that Jiang Menghan was truly a [Treasure Girl].

This sentence did not carry any sarcastic meaning.

Since he was already facing a threat of death.

Then, any bad luck less than death was just a joke to him.

On the contrary.

With her five-star Extraordinary potential, she might become the key to changing the future of civilization.
