Chapter 162

However, even just considering his record of surviving assassination attempts, Wen Jing is now on a completely different level from his classmates.

Looking at all the students in all grades across the three academies, she is the most dazzling genius.

Therefore, the once arrogant Mystic Radiance students can now only look up to Wen Jing in awe.

"Wen Jing, will you agree?" Wan Ling asked cautiously.

"Of course not," Wen Jing shook his head. "We can't exchange it for a villa, we don't have that kind of free time."

Everyone was speechless. "No! It's a love letter!"

Every exploration of the Ancient Wilderness by Awakened is a struggle for survival. After university, they stopped taking inhibitors, so there are quite a few passionate (physics) couples in the college, and short-lived romances are also common.

Wen Jing seemed completely oblivious to this kind of thing, and it was rare to hear her mention it, so everyone was naturally very curious.

"Oh, there's nothing I like." Wen Jing shook her head again.

Eve blinked and quickly asked, "So what type do you like?"

Once the gossip started, everyone woke up and eagerly gathered around.

Wen Jing honestly replied, "I like pretty things."

After she finished speaking, everyone waited a while, and only when she didn't say anything more did they show incredulous expressions.

"... Huh? That's it?"

"That's all." Wen Jing nodded.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. None of the Awakened were ugly. Before awakening, they had trained from a young age, and after awakening, their genes were nourished and optimized by high-dimensional energy. On this basis, everyone was good-looking in their Qianqiu.

Those who possess an innate charm and approachability are even more popular.

People couldn't help but look at Wen Jing with suspicion: Did Wen Jing have a problem with his taste?

"Among the people who confessed their feelings to you, there are many good-looking ones!"

"Really? I didn't notice." Wen Jing suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "It's harder for me to notice someone who's weak."

The crowd fell silent for the second time. Someone opened their mouth, wanting to ask if there were any peers she considered to be equally capable.

But at this moment, Wen Jing had already stood up. "It's time for class."

Everyone quickly made way, those who had the same class went together, and those who didn't stay in the activity area.

As the latter watched her departing figure, they felt the answer should be 'no'...

*

Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and Wen Jing has been at the Mystic Radiance Academy for over a month.

Apart from being larger and more spacious, there is no difference in the procedures between the Mystic Radiance Academy and Azure Jade Academy.

In addition, perhaps because of Azure Jade's experience, even though the teaching level of the professors here cannot be said to be that all of them are masters in their respective fields, she did not encounter the situation of teaching assistants giving lessons in Mystic Radiance's classes.

"Drop!"

Current compatibility: 100%.

While updating personal information, the smart terminal automatically generated a celebratory effect on the Wen Jing's retina.

During the assassination, her compatibility was close to 90%. During her month in Mystic Radiance, she maintained a high intensity in traversing the Ancient Wilderness, completing the final 10% and becoming a fully Awakened.

At this pace, only a few spring semester students from the Mystic Radiance Academy can currently achieve this level.

This also means that Wen Jing can participate in the official league five months from now.

As she updated her personal information, her smart device received a flood of messages.

Becoming a fully Awakened, in a sense, represents the 'adulthood' of Awakened. Many advanced missions in the academy's mission area, as well as the permissions that Dean Bai had bound to her, were all unlocked.

Before Wen Jing could take a closer look, a holographic image automatically popped up.

It was a congratulatory message from Gaia, who resembled her in appearance. "Congratulations, Wen Jing! You are a fully Awakened. I am proud of you... I sincerely wish you a brighter and more promising future."

Naturally, it's another bowl of chicken soup for the soul.

In addition to the usual encouragement, the article also mentioned some career paths after graduation, all of which were pushed by the Mastermind's big data calculations.

It includes the Military Department, the ten major corporations, and academies... encompassing the most promising paths for Federation Awakened, a world apart from the 'advance combat personnel' she had suggested when she first awakened.

What do I want to do after graduation?

Wen Jing closed the window, a thought rising in his mind.

Dean Bai and Xie Ming led the Reformist Faction in an effort to change the status and position of capable individuals.

Dean Fu remained neutral and protected his own, minding his own business and only concerned with the affairs of the Azure Jade Academy.

The Ten Star Group knew it was futile, yet they did it anyway, solely to sow the seeds of rebellion...

Each of them is doing what they can, practicing their own principles.

And she...

The first thought that popped into Wen Jing's mind was interstellar travel.

She enjoys exploring the unknown, not only the 'deep' space-time of the Ancient Wilderness, but also the 'vertical' world of the material universe.

And she has that ability.

Perhaps after graduating in the future, she will choose to become an interstellar explorer, to see the neighboring empire, and to explore the deeper reaches of space to see if there are other civilizations...

Of course, Wen Jing hadn't forgotten that his most important task at the moment was to rescue his Clone.

The other half of her Clone did not leave the Spacetime Amber, nor did she travel back to the Scorching Thirst World, lest she be 'attracted' there and sealed again.

Her intensive travel over the past month has all been done during the day, in teams with others using Locator Stone.

Because Mystic Radiance is the capital star with an extremely high level of Oversight, Wen Jing hadn't yet stayed in a large villa with a private training ground, nighttime travel was naturally not feasible.

After leaving the testing center, she went straight to the shuttle registration center.

There were quite a few people here at that time, and several of them, upon seeing Wen Jing, immediately brightened up and came to greet him.

"Wen Jing! Are you alone? Why don't you team up with us...?"

"Wen Jing, we had a very pleasant collaboration last time. This world is definitely worth exploring."

"Wen Jing..."

"I plan to explore alone this time." Wen Jing flatly refused, saying knowingly, "You guys should first make an appointment through the lottery system with Ocher Soil's classmates."

Seeing her head straight for the registration desk, the group didn't dare stop her and could only leave regretfully.

"Sigh, I knew it, you have to go through a lottery system to get a number..."

One of them sighed, saying he was quite used to the lottery system.

If she had told the Mystic Radiance students a month earlier that they would have to compete for a spot in a lottery to team up with Wen Jing to explore the Ancient Wilderness, even with her proven track record, they would have thought it was absurd and scoffed at it.

However, after their first collaboration, every single Mystic Radiance exploration team unanimously declared that it was surprisingly good.

The F-class rating, which was once criticized, has become an absolute advantage when exploring in a team.

The most troublesome thing about the Locator Stone is that it must be compatible with the level of the locator's Wilderness Body. Wen Jing, because Wen Jing's Wilderness Body level is low, even though his compatibility is already very high, he can still be perfectly compatible with most of Mystic Radiance's exploration teams.

On top of that, her combat power... is at the very top level!

Teaming up with Wen Jing, as long as you're not deliberately causing trouble, feels like having a cheat code.

Many targets that were previously insurmountable due to limitations in strength were simply carried away.

Who says there are no perfect teammates in the Ancient Wilderness Exploration?! That person is Wen Jing!

In this situation, naturally everyone, regardless of whether they are in a higher or lower grade, wants to team up with her.

Because there were too many people, and because the other exchange students from Ocher Soil felt inferior and had difficulty integrating into the Mystic Radiance Academy, Wen Jing simply delegated the power to team up with them, and currently a reservation lottery system has been implemented.

After the lottery results were announced, the people of Ocher Soil no longer felt inferior or struggled to fit in. On the contrary, it was rumored that Song Zhi was already conducting internal investigations to prevent corruption and bribery...

Wen Jing used Gravity Silk to record numerous coordinates during these many trips.

These coordinates include ordinary natural Ancient Wilderness as well as some remnants of civilization.

In one of these worlds, she finally found an opportunity that might unlock the secrets of the Spacetime Amber.

"Whoosh!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in Mystic Radiance, Wen Jing disappeared alone from the platform.

The next moment, the now pitch-black Zerg appeared in a completely new world.

Chapter 162

"Tick-tock... Click-click..."

Upon arriving in this world, one is immediately surrounded by the sounds of mechanical movement, sometimes rhythmic and sometimes chaotic.

It's not just the sound coming from the air; to be precise, the whole world is resonating.

The resonance comes from the ground below—though calling it 'ground' isn't entirely accurate.

The world is a wreckage formed by the fusion of a Western Gothic architectural complex and mechanical gears.

Giant gears are fitted together in a complex of buildings with pointed arches, clustered columns, and stained glass, interlocking at irregular angles and occasionally sparking.

The air was thick with rust and dust, filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Ancient Wilderness civilization relics are not limited to Huaxia Civilization, but exist in various regions and eras of the Blue Star.

During his month in Mystic Radiance, in addition to attending classes, Wen Jing participated in a large number of team explorations in Mystic Radiance, participating in each one only once, leaving behind a 'storage' of coordinates for nearly twenty worlds.

Although cultural relics constituted a small proportion of the total, she still gained knowledge and understanding of many relics from non- Huaxia Civilization.

For example, the ruins she is currently in, which she calls the ' Gear World,' clearly correspond to the Western medieval period.

As for why this world was chosen...

Wen Jing's gaze fell on the snowflakes drifting down from the sky.

From her current conscious perspective, everything is normal.

But for her consciousness within the Spacetime Amber, there was a strange sense of incongruity everywhere.

If you carefully follow the falling trajectory of snowflakes with that awareness, you'll find that their speed is constantly changing. Sometimes they hover for a long time, sometimes they fall quickly, and occasionally they even drift upwards in the opposite direction...
