"Dingchuan Academy!?" The fat man couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. He knew all too well the difference between Luoqie Star and other planets. If they were to use a pyramid as a metaphor, Luoqie Star would definitely be the foundation at the very bottom. If Mu Fan lost his chance to get into a B-level academy because of his willfulness, then everything would be in vain.

She tugged at Mu Fan's sleeve. "I know you're amazing, Mu Fan, but this is a one-time opportunity!"

Mu Fan understood what the fat man meant. With a smile in his eyes, he patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Harry, when have I ever let you down?"

Mu Fan's eyes remained bright. The fat man recalled that since he met him, although their relationship had deepened, the mystery surrounding the man in front of him seemed to grow heavier.

"Are you planning to go to the exam together?" The fat man gave up trying to persuade him.

"Yes..." Mu Fan hesitated for a moment before answering, because he was afraid that if he said it, the fat man might really get anxious.

Right now, in the cargo hold beneath his feet is the Asura Mecha, which was transported under a false identity. Probably no one would have imagined that the invincible black reaper would leave Luoqie Star so uneventfully.

With Hei's help and the Asura Mecha beneath his feet, what reason did Mu Fan have not to give it a try?

Army Reserve Special Recruitment!

Even if the fat man thought it through the sky, he probably would never have imagined that Mu Fan would choose this exam!

"Mu Fan, your identity is ready. Go to D District in a bit. There's a separate testing center there. The process for the Reserve Special Recruitment is different from the main exam, so you'd better split up with Harry." Black's voice suddenly rang in Mu Fan's ears.

This time, Hei also left Luoqie Star with Mu Fan, even taking his original body with him. The main cabin of the carrier was in that container with the Asura Mecha.

The silver watch Mu Fan is wearing on his left wrist is a temporary vessel for Hei. Hei says it's made of Berkeley Alloy, so even if the mecha is destroyed, the watch won't be damaged.

With the new bone conduction headphones in his ear, Hei accompanied Mu Fan away from Luoqie Star in this special way.

Two hours later, the two appeared in the departure hall of the Space Port. The fat man patted Mu Fan on the shoulder and said excitedly, "This is my first time on Zicui Star too!! Let's go explore the city first! My dad gave me a 200,000 Federation Credit Points limit, hahaha, let's go shopping!"

In just two hours, the carefree fat man had put his previous worries to the back of his mind; thinking too much was a problem for adults.

"Where to?" Mu Fan asked, he needed to find an opportunity to go to D District.

"Let's stay in A District, but we'll have to pass through D District! I heard D District is a famous free zone here, and there are lots of interesting things to do there! Then we'll go back to A District tonight, how about that, hehe." There are still two days until the exam, and Fatty has been wanting to have some fun beforehand. A District is an administrative area, so it probably won't be very interesting.

"Okay." Mu Fan nodded, carrying his luggage. Since they were going to D District first, they would have a chance to take a look. He would find an excuse to go there in the next couple of days.

Once the two exited the port, they were immediately greeted by a network of high-speed maglev tunnels. This massive Space Port had more than ten tunnels connecting to it, and the two were now standing at the entrance of the fourth floor.

"It's truly magnificent! No wonder Zicui Star is the heavy industrial planet of the Fourth Administrative Region. It's so impressive!" The fat man exclaimed in amazement when he saw that the taxis were the new type of Hover Car that were rarely seen on Luoqie Star.

Now the fat man looks a bit like a nouveau riche from the countryside. Mu Fan, standing next to him, didn't express any more surprise, but silently followed the fat man's actions.

He didn't recognize anything, so he decided to go with the fat man. Hei had just told him that the cargo hold had entered an automated process to be transported to a vault in D District. They had secretly tampered with it, and the system identified it as just parts stored by a local machinery company.

A Hover Car with the words "Green Birch Taxi Company" painted in yellow swerved and stopped in front of the two of them.

"Go to D District and find a place to drop us off!" The fat man waved his hand magnanimously!

Twenty minutes later, Mu Fan and the fat man, each carrying a bag, stood in a bustling commercial street. The Hover Car dropped them off and drove away.

"Wow! Look at this! The latest floating skateboard! Look at this, there's even a limited edition Ghost Hovercar! Oh my heart!" The fat man was pressed against the shop window on the side of the road, drooling so much that he was practically licking the glass wall.

Mu Fan's eyes were fixed on the outdoor equipment store on the other side. Behind the glass window were rows of outdoor equipment, and on the top shelf lay a half-drawn Willow Leaf Blade, its gleaming cold light piquing Mu Fan's interest.

"Country bumpkins!" A passerby saw the two people's demeanor and immediately concluded that they were from a small planet, looking completely unsophisticated.

With sharp eyes Mu Fan noticed the price marked 12,999 under the Willow Leaf Blade. He forced himself to turn around and look for the fat man on the other side.

"Mu Fan, if Zicui Star is already like this, my god, I wonder how prosperous Landu Star, as the Administrative Star of the Fourth Administrative Region, will be!" The fat man looked at Mu Fan with shining eyes, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he excitedly said:

"Come on, follow Brother Fatty, I'll take you to a great place!"

Mu Fan followed the fat man's gaze and looked over there. It was a very lively place, with a constant stream of people coming and going at the entrance. Above the crowd were four flickering words projected by lasers: "Kingfisher Bar".

It was just 4 PM in Zi Cui time. Fatty licked his lips. Ever since June 2nd, his father had practically confined him to his home. Now, he had just randomly come to a street in D District and found a bar that looked pretty good. Fatty thought about the taste of cocktails and his throat felt a little thirsty.

Seeing the fat man's longing look, Mu Fan nodded in agreement, and the two of them headed straight for the bar with their luggage.

Three handsome young men had just entered. The bartender, who had been staring at the disappearing figure with lingering interest, turned his gaze to the two men in front of him, one fat and one thin, carrying luggage.

The bartender stared at Mu Fan's face for a while, looking at him with a strange expression. Mu Fan seemed a little confused, touched his nose, and looked at the bartender with a puzzled expression.

"Excuse me, are you two here at Kingfisher Bar?"

"Of course, hurry up and take us inside!" the fat man said excitedly.

"Is this your first time here? Have you heard of our bar before?" The bartender looked at the two of them with a strange expression, and checked again to make sure he was right.

The chubby man in the suit coughed sternly and nodded, saying, "This is our first time here, but we've heard so much about it, so we came here specifically." Well, it's always good to act like a seasoned veteran when you're out in the world.

Now that it was confirmed, the bartender smiled warmly and bowed, saying, "Welcome to Kingfisher Bar! Please follow me."

The fat man with the small leather bag and Mu Fan with the suitcase disappeared through the door.

If the two of them stood there a little longer, they would notice that... those who were coming in one after another seemed to be men, and among them were quite a few men with flamboyant postures...
