And There's One More?

Those who understood the times became heroes; those who refused to eat became hungry ghosts.

Having been dragged here and made to hear so many highly classified secrets, Wang Ji knew he had been forcibly pulled aboard the armored vehicle. Though he was confident he could break free of his restraints and live carefree.

But there was no need. Since these aliens seemed fairly trustworthy, he did not have to find some place to become a petty emperor.

Simply put, his horizons had broadened, and his goals had changed.

He still possessed the awareness to fight for his country and resist an alien invasion.

For himself, he could not remain untouched by it all.

For the public good, every common man bore responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation.

As for the rest, Super God Academy felt like a place that would benefit him, but he did not know much about it and was not too sure.

"I thought you'd negotiate the price and benefits first..."

Inside an elevator, Du Qiangwei looked at the young man who had changed into a handsome modern Chinese-style outfit, smiling teasingly.

The meeting had ended. Chief Huang Ze had left first, and Leina, the Light of the Sun, had business to attend to as well. The rest of them were heading somewhere else.

As for Wang Ji, he had nothing to do, and no one had suggested that he leave.

To some extent, they wanted him to see more things and dispel the wariness he still had not let go of.

"Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain..."

Wang Ji had both hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and at ease. "I gave up my dream of being an emperor, not so I could come here and earn scraps. Your big brother may be a little poor... but if I want money, I really won't lack it."

He gave Du Qiangwei a similarly amused look and raised his brows. "You investigated my income and found it was over ten thousand yuan. All I can say is, that was legal... Of course, I never did anything illegal either."

But that only referred to when he had been an ordinary person, not now.

Now, he could do much more.

He had superpowers already. What was money worth?

"You're awfully arrogant... And you little brat have no manners at all. Who are you calling your big brother?"

Du Qiangwei's beautiful face was full of amusement. This guy really changed quickly.

When he was timid, he honestly played dumb. When speaking of his grand ambitions, he carried a faint air of dominance. Now that he was relaxed, he had returned to a young man's pride and arrogance.

"Sure. From now on, you're my old big sister, and I'll call myself your little brother." Wang Ji gave her a salute from his forehead and raised his brows.

Du Qiangwei could not help but smile, shooting him a sidelong glance with her beautiful eyes. "Tch, I'm only twenty too. Who are you calling old big sister? But you..."

"Everyone, let's go. We're here."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Du Kao, who stood at the front, suddenly spoke in a steady, authoritative voice.

The elevator doors opened. Du Kao led the way out, followed closely by the major general and Lian Feng, then Jess.

Du Qiangwei stepped out as well. Wang Ji was the last to leave the elevator, his eyes flickering slightly as though he were thinking something over.

Smiling inwardly, he stepped out with his arms folded and trailed behind everyone else, following them to a place he did not even know.

"How about I take you around Super God Academy this afternoon? You don't seem to have anything going on anyway. You can get an early look at your new school."

Du Qiangwei slowed by a step to wait for him, and the two walked side by side.

She wore a fitted dark green women's military jacket, her red hair flowing as she turned to Wang Ji with a smile. "Or you could grab a dorm room you like first."

"No need." Wang Ji strolled along leisurely. His White Dragon's Song Chinese-style outfit was elegant and flowing, while the silver chain on his chest added a touch more flair.

He looked cool—cooler than Du Qiangwei, even.

"Just give me the time and address. I can go by myself." He did not even turn his eyes to look at people when he spoke.

But Du Qiangwei did not think much of it. Handsome men and beautiful women probably all had that kind of air. She had it herself most of the time, so it was perfectly normal.

Simply put, it was the temperament cultivated by being praised by everyone since childhood.

So, faced with Wang Ji's calm manner, Du Qiangwei merely smiled inwardly at how cool this little brother was, and that was that.

She continued smiling at him. "Then do you want to find a shooting range and try some real guns? They have every kind of gun there. You should be able to play with whichever ones you want.

Don't you like Chicken Dinner Game? Don't you like guns?

There are tanks and planes too. How about I take you for a couple of laps in a fighter jet?"

Her voice was full of laughter, making Jess, who was walking ahead, turn back to look at them twice...

He could not help clicking his tongue inwardly. Was this Rose?

Wang Ji was genuinely tempted by that, but after thinking it over, he still shook his head slightly. "Thanks, but I still have quite a few matters to wrap up. Maybe another time."

"Tch, you cocky little brat. How can you be that busy? You don't know how to appreciate kindness at all." Du Qiangwei snorted, looking somewhat unhappy.

With his arms folded, Wang Ji followed Du Kao and Lian Feng into a hall, entering last.

The hall was dimly lit and filled with working computer screens and staff members. They came to a desk, where Lian Feng sat down and opened several videos.

Seeing that the videos appeared to be surveillance footage, Wang Ji's eyes shifted slightly in realization.

"Chief, look. Xiao Lun is still drinking beer and bragging. Liu Chuang is currently still in detention."

Jess, dressed in a black suit, explained something to Du Kao. Wang Ji listened quietly and roughly understood what they were discussing.

The screen displayed several split views, surveillance footage of several young men and women. Among them were Ge Xiao Lun and Liu Chuang, whom he had seen before.

"And there's Zhao Xin... This kid isn't simple." Jess spoke with some amusement. "He likes fighting people, and... usually under the pretext of protecting the weak. Chivalric spirit, I suppose."

"Heh~"

"Pfft~"

Everyone laughed at that. Wang Ji found it amusing too. This guy was really edgy...

"Rui Mengmeng is a restaurant server. There are very few people with the surname Rui in our country. Her family has fallen on hard times, and she is not very educated. She's currently working to earn money so she can attend university."

Jess introduced a young girl working in a restaurant in a server's uniform. She looked adorably simple and honest, diligently doing her job.

"I know about this one. She really is a good child. I know her grandfather; they're simple, honest common folk." Du Kao nodded with a serious expression.

Watching this, Wang Ji more or less understood why they had not let him leave and had brought him along.

Actually, it was nothing much. They probably just wanted him to understand that he should not be too arrogant.

And he had sensed it earlier as well. The other side might not have thought much of his speed ability, but after talking with him, they had acknowledged his mindset.

The people on these surveillance feeds should all be Super Soldiers. He was not all that rare.

But it did not matter. He understood the implication and did not feel embarrassed or angered.

Before, he had thought it only natural that he should become a king and dominate others. Now, he thought it only natural that he should fight for his country. He did not care about the influence of external things.

"And then, the prince, Cheng Yaowen... farming."

After the final video was introduced, Wang Ji was slightly surprised and confused... That was it?

Wasn't that a little too few?

He had already begun to humble himself, and this was all there was?

"Just these people? What a bunch of misfits."

Before Wang Ji could say anything despite his doubts, Du Qiangwei gave a dismissive chuckle, her tone scornful.

"You're not much better yourself." Du Kao calmly glanced at his daughter.

Wang Ji quietly stepped back half a pace. He was not like this bunch of misfits—he had strengthened himself from a young age and harbored great ambitions.

"Of course. Like father, like daughter..." Du Qiangwei said darkly.

"Heh, perhaps this is the misfortune of this era..."

"Wait, no... Isn't there one more?" Seeing that the introductions were truly over, Wang Ji asked instinctively.
