Tempest of the Stellar War-Novel2

Chapter 562: Xiao Fei’s Worries

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The Cultivation Technique Trial on the Acolytes’ level was actually very simple. That was for one to circulate their 8 Point Blade Technique once so as to determine the situation and allocate the Cultivation Technique most suited for them. Tentacles had initially thought that with Wang Zheng’s talent and his King’s disposition, he would definitely be allocated a rare and unique technique. However, Wang Zheng obtained the most common 16 Point Blade Technique.

It was not a bad outcome. There were people who had passed the Cultivation Technique Trial and yet didn’t receive anything.

Tentacles also received the 16 Point Blade Technique. He was rather disappointed. One had to find a Cultivation Technique with the same elemental affinity as himself after entering the Acolytes’ level to be able to demonstrate their attacking prowess. The Basic Blade Technique was too gentle and wouldn’t allow one to fully demonstrate their strength.

Nonetheless, it would be better than receiving nothing. At least he could practise it first and think of a way to get “Wood” elemental Cultivation Technique later. If he could find “Wind” elemental techniques, it would be the best.

Wang Zheng wasn’t disappointed at all. He was aiming for the 16 Point Blade Technique when he came. He had initially thought that he would need to expend some time but he managed to get it easily. This was hard for him to get used to. Once he got the Cultivation Technique, he immediately started using it.

As expected, he was able to further corroborate with his Primordial Regression Technique after obtaining the 16 Point Blade Technique. Although it was only 8 Points more, its power had increased over 1 fold. If this Cultivation Technique could be combined with others, it would definitely be grand and magnificent.

Although one wouldn’t know how strong the humans of the era where humans ruled, if he could combine Primordial Regression Technique and the Blade Technique, Wang Zheng had the notion that he could even clash against a mech with just his body. Obviously, this was only a thought.

16 Point Blade Technique wasn’t difficult for Wang Zheng. After entering the Acolytes’ level, the saying of different grades of Cultivation Technique disappeared. In fact, when Wang Zheng was still at the Disciples’ level, the saying of separating the Blade Technique into mid-grade and high-grade was laughable to Wang Zheng. Cultivation Technique was about understanding it and shouldn’t be separated into different tiers. Obviously, there were indeed different levels of understanding. It was just that there was no need to separate it into different tiers. When he arrived at the Acolytes’ stage, this was no longer a problem.

He also get to understand that there were huge differences between Disciples’ level and Acolytes’ level after interacting and having a chat with Tentacles.

One could leave the Disciples’ level anytime as they had not made many commitments and was facing the possibility of elimination at all time. However, the Acolytes’ stage was different. Those who had entered the Acolytes’ level were highly gifted and had worked hard diligently. Alternatively, they would likely to be from a rich background and had spent much on this place. With more commitments, the level of seriousness would be completely different. Therefore, everyone wouldn’t be so casual in the Acolytes’ level.

Although Wang Zheng did not feel much about it, that was indeed the truth.

On the Acolytes’ level, the same battle would reward the victor while the loser would have their time deducted. Besides that, if there were spectators, the fees from spectators would be distributed to the victor based on a certain ratio. The greater the number of people, the higher the ratio.

This allowed those with superior strength to be able to not worry about money.

However, Wang Zheng was a candidate of the Trial to become a Saint. He wouldn’t need to earn money through this way.

After practising the Blade Technique for some time, Wang Zheng left the World of the Saints. It was time for dinner.

There were already people waiting for him for dinner.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Xiao Fei and Marcus were already there. They had even booked a little compartment in the restaurant. Wang Zheng was a little overwhelmed by this line-up.

It felt a little like a banquet that was set up to “rip” him off.

“Wang Zheng, what are you looking at? Take a seat! We have ordered the dishes already.” laughed Xiao Fei. Prof Xiao Fei looked particularly flirtatious. The charisma of this type of mature women clearly couldn’t be compared with a little girl.

It was especially so as this professor wasn’t holding back and was seemingly trying to tease Wang Zheng.

“Cough cough. My teachers, what is this about? I wouldn’t even dare to sit down in the current situation.” A cold shiver ran down Wang Zheng’s spine. This didn’t seem right.

“Looked at what you were saying. Weren’t we mentor and friends? Why would I be harming you?” laughed Xiao Fei. Professor Xiao Fei seemed to have become more well-endowed after not seeing for some time. Could it be that this woman wouldn’t stop growing?

If one considered Wang Zheng to be a pure little virgin, he could be considered as a real man now. The charisma of a woman was more lethal now.

“Take a seat first, Wang Zheng. Let’s talk as we eat.” Marcus had spoken and tried to mediate the situation. Wang Zheng had relatively great trust towards Professor Marcus. He was definitely someone Wang Zheng could rely on.

Seeing that Wang Zheng had sat down obediently, Xiao Fei wasn’t too happy about it. “Wang Zheng, what was the meaning of this? Could it be that I’m not reliable?”

“How could it be? Professor Xiao’s order would be equivalent to an imperial decree. If you asked me to go to the east, I would never head west.”

“Humph! You would head north and south right?” Xiao Fei wasn’t easy to deceive. She wasn’t easy on Wang Zheng and pulled his ears immediately. Wang Zheng did not retaliate. Succubus Xiao definitely had an upper hand when it came to dealing with Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was hungry too. He chowed down the food uncourteously. Marcus was maintaining a refined look as he ate. He had to maintain his image as the teacher! However, Xiao Fei who was just beside him was only slightly better than Wang Zheng.

“Professor, aren’t you afraid of looking uncouth with the way you eat?” Wang Zheng received a hit on the head as soon as he finished his sentence.

“Did you think that I would grow fatter by eating more after considering my daily work load?” said Xiao Fei. Brain labour expended more energy than body labour. Moreover, Xiao Fei was in charge of the KING company and the various matters with regard to the school. She was truly a busy person.

Wang Zheng subconsciously took a glance at Xiao Fei’s boobs... It seemed bustier than before. Actually, it was rather embarrassing. One could say that there were different phases to a man. A little virgin boy liked to look at the face. Those with a little more experience liked to look at the boobs while those with more would look at legs and even...

Currently, Yan Xiaosu had claimed that he was at the phase of looking at legs. As for Wang Zheng, he probably was still at the phase of looking at face.

Could he have been considered to have moved on to the next phase?

Xiao Fei wasn’t concerned about this. In fact, she truly had some worries this time.

Although it was dinner, the three of them were highly efficient. They were eating with their lives and weren’t idling.

“Two professors had laid down such a formation. If there’s anything, you could just say it. I have finished eating and drinking. You can deal with my little life as you deemed fit.” laughed Wang Zheng.

Xiao Fei took a look at Marcus. Marcus coughed twice and said,” The Super Gravity Energy Mineral has arrived. Based on our simulated experiment, the possibility of our theory being used for military-uses has greatly increased. There was a 70-80% success rate.”

Wang Zheng was exhilarated. “That’s a great thing!”

“Obviously, this credit belongs to you. The Super Gravity Energy Mineral that we received was the first batch in the Milky Way Alliance. The truth was that since our theory was released, several Science Colleges of other countries had been conducting their own research in secret.” said Xiao Fei.

“Ah, didn’t we apply for a patent?”

Xiao Fei rolled her eyes at Wang Zheng. “If the other party was using it secretly, they wouldnt care less about us. Moreover, they could claim that they weren’t using our theory and we couldn’t do anything about it. Therefore, the only solution was to push towards practical-use research as soon as possible and applied for a more holistic patent protection!”

Theory was something hollow. Once it could turn into a practical product, the effect would be completely different.

“I would definitely give my full support!” said Wang Zheng.

“Hehe, the most pressing issue we have now was with funding.” Marcus waved his hand helplessly.

Wang Zheng was taken aback. “Didn’t we receive an injection of funding from FCL Organisation?”

“It was far from enough. We had to increase the funding. The initial funding was to be spread over 5 years. However, we had to request for a huge amount of funding within this year as you got your hands on the Super Gravity Energy Mineral. We couldn’t miss this opportunity.” said Xiao Fei. She was full of zest. She was truly a mad scientist to the point that she could neglect her own beauty and life and was completely immersed in the world of exploring.

“What does Zisu think about this?” action

“Currently, OMG and Little Lucky Star were both expanding into certain segments. In terms of sheer capital, both of them might also not have enough for their own uses. Moreover, they are only a small shareholder of the KING company. We have no reason to ask them to increase their stake.” Xiao Fei looked at Wang Zheng as though Wang Zheng was capable of everything.

“FCL could increase their level of investment. However, the amount was truly too great. Business is business. If we were to request for more funding, the other party would definitely request to increase their shareholding in the company. This might not be worthwhile in the end. Therefore, we would like to seek your views.” said Marcus. He could no longer treat Wang Zheng as a student anymore. Disregarding the fact that Wang Zheng had already entered the Universe’s Genesis Coffee Club, the fact that he could get his hands on the hottest Super Gravity Energy Mineral would mean that he wasn’t an ordinary person. To be more direct, even the Chairman of the Solar System Federation might not be able to do so too.

“I don’t care. I would definitely not give them more shares. You have to think of a solution for the funding.”

Wang Zheng was speechless. The well-known Xiao Fei was acting shamelessly.

“Cough cough. Professor, I’m sure you know about my limited capabilities. I could help if the amount was small. However, what was the amount needed now?” asked Wang Zheng.

“We have saved a huge sum of money without needing to purchase the Super Gravity Energy Mineral. However, we would need a full set of the most advanced equipment to analyse the mineral. Currently, only Arbiter possesses this. Besides that, we might have to use some of the technologies of Aslan, They had contacted our side and had a certain level of interest. We would need about 500 million for the initial stage. Obviously, more would be welcome too.” said Xiao Fei.

Wang Zheng’s brain went blurry. They were treating him as a gold mine! Even a gold mine would need time for its riches to be excavated.

Every company would had their own set of operating model. There couldn’t be an endless injection of capital. Currently, KING Company was just like a black hole. They had initially thought that they could save some money after getting their hands on the Super Gravity Energy Mineral. However, they end up needing more.

This was also why others weren’t willing to make commitments in this aspect. Plans would never catch up with changes. The company might have gone bankrupt before reaching the practical application stage. From the very start, Xiao Fei didn’t care about the money. What she wanted was to complete this technology. It was like her own child. Wang Zheng also had his own objectives but that was Xiao Fei’s life and objectives.

Therefore, there were times that he seemed naïve and idealistic.

From some aspects, Xiao Fei could be considered a mad scientist. Marcus who was at her side was also feeling helpless. This was because any scientist would dream of having such an opportunity to focus on research and not to worry about the money.

Even Wang Zheng could understand why the Milky Way Alliance would list the Old Merchant as a wanted man initially. That brat had spent countless fortunes but wasn’t able to develop anything out from his research...

Wang Zheng had wanted to reject them. He was only a student with some capabilities. However, he wasn’t capable of everything. However, when he raised his head, he saw the burning passion in Xiao Fei’s eyes and her conviction towards the goal. Xiao Fei was the same type of person as him. It was just that within the burning passion, there held a gaze of ... reliance.

He was also the largest shareholder after all. Heck. Wang Zheng smashed the table and gave Xiao Fei and Marcus a scare.
