Chapter 25: Earth Federation

As Qin Fuyue recounted the story with great enthusiasm, Sister Haitang’s expression grew increasingly solemn.

As a biological cruiser captain and a War King-level powerhouse.

She understood more deeply what it meant for Xu Zi'an to take out several higher-level scout ships with a Tier 1 biological scout ship while remaining unscathed.

Especially since the opponents were space pirates who had experienced many real battles!

Her first thought was the same as Qin Fuyue’s at the time...

Xu Zi'an was perhaps a captain who had experienced many real battles, had his starship destroyed, and then re-bound to a starship.

But!!!

Qin Fuyue actually told her...

Xu Zi'an was the same age as her!

And was still a high school senior in Earth’s Hucheng!

Furthermore!

He had only awakened for the first time during the Earth Federation’s collective awakening ceremony a few days ago!

The information contained within this was completely different.

A genius!

A super genius!!!

Sister Haitang made this judgment almost immediately.

At the very least, a super genius in space warfare!

While other captains of the same age hadn't even experienced real combat, and their legs would tremble at the sight of an enemy.

The contrast was immediately obvious.

If it were said...

That Qin Fuyue’s previous words only made Sister Haitang look at Xu Zi'an with new eyes.

After all, not to mention all humans in the universe, just in the Earth Federation, there were countless geniuses.

She admitted that Xu Zi'an was indeed a genius.

But, she had seen so many geniuses!

She herself was a super genius!

She had seen many like Xu Zi'an.

There were too many humans.

And too many geniuses.

However!

When Qin Fuyue said—

That this *Cui Can* starship was evolved by Xu Zi'an himself, step by step.

Sister Haitang immediately developed a very strong interest in Xu Zi'an.

A dual genius in space warfare and evolution?

Sister Haitang looked deeply at Xu Zi'an and suddenly asked: "Xu Zi'an.

Do you know about the special recruitment exam in two months?"

Xu Zi'an was startled.

He didn't understand why Sister Haitang suddenly asked this question.

But he nodded and replied: "I know, I’m planning to participate."

The special recruitment exam.

It was an exam before the college entrance exam.

Or rather, an exam specifically aimed at those top-tier geniuses!

Just as the name of this exam suggested.

This exam was different from the college entrance exam; it was distinct from the ordinary college entrance exam, and at that time, admissions personnel from various schools would personally be present to conduct evaluations.

Once they discovered a genius candidate they liked, they would grant a special recruitment quota.

With a special recruitment quota, you wouldn't even need to take the college entrance exam; you would be directly admitted by the school and could enter your desired university to study!

So the special recruitment exam had another nickname—

The arena for geniuses.

Xu Zi'an, naturally, also wanted to participate.

Being directly recruited into a school, wouldn't that be even better?

And it was said that special recruits could receive better treatment than ordinary students during their time at school!

They would be specially cultivated by the school!

In short, there were many benefits.

Seeing Xu Zi'an give a positive reply, Sister Haitang raised the corner of her mouth in a cold and alluring arc and nodded gently: "I look forward to your performance."

She didn't say anything more to Xu Zi'an, turned her head to look at Qin Fuyue, and said softly: "Fuyue, let’s rest here today?

We haven't seen each other for over a year, have we?"

Qin Fuyue was just about to nod, but suddenly looked at Xu Zi'an, a hint of awkwardness appearing in her expression.

Sister Haitang’s gaze narrowed; she looked at Qin Fuyue, whose pretty face was slightly conflicted, and then looked at Xu Zi'an, who had been observing her *Sea Siren* cruiser...

A strange look flashed in the depths of her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Xu Zi'an: "Xu Zi'an.

You saved Fuyue, so I should thank you properly.

Like Fuyue, why don't you rest here for two days too?

I’ll arrange a separate building for you; you can just stay there, and no one will disturb you."

Qin Fuyue didn't expect Sister Haitang to suddenly invite Xu Zi'an to stay as well; she looked at Sister Haitang with joy, and upon seeing Sister Haitang’s meaningful gaze, her pretty face instantly flushed red.

She pretended not to see it and cast an expectant look at Xu Zi'an.

Xu Zi'an was a bit confused.

Sister Haitang suddenly invited him to stay too?

What was this about?

He did indeed save Qin Fuyue...

But didn't Qin Fuyue also give him 100,000 yuan?

However, staying was definitely out of the question.

He had just started, and there were too many things he needed to do.

For example, the *Cui Can*'s components; he planned to evolve them properly.

And by the way, evolve to Tier 2!

Where would he have the time to accompany these two women... and the key was he didn't know what they wanted.

Could it be they were eyeing his looks?

Xu Zi'an couldn't help but be on guard—

Unless they paid.

He immediately declined without hesitation: "I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t stay here too long...

I have to leave as soon as I finish unloading the goods.

The college entrance exam is approaching, and there are many things that need to be prepared."

A hint of surprise flashed in Sister Haitang’s cold and alluring eyes; she smiled upon hearing this and said: "Alright then, I won't keep you."

Qin Fuyue beside them immediately pouted, looking as if her mood had suddenly plummeted.

She could only say: "Alright then... let’s keep in touch via communication..."

"Also, I’ll be going back in a few days!"

"And, if you find any good missions, remember to take me along!"

"And also, my *Hui Yue* still wants to ask you to help see if it can be further strengthened and improved in quality!"

"Oh, and also..."

Qin Fuyue’s little mouth just kept on blabbering non-stop.

Xu Zi'an was impressed; among all that content, only the part about asking him to help check if her *Hui Yue* could be further strengthened and improved in quality made him very happy.

It seemed this fish had some signs of taking the bait!

Qin Fuyue, wait for you!

After unloading the goods and saying goodbye to the two women, he piloted the *Cui Can* away from the place.

This time he didn't plan to return to Earth.

He planned to go to Space Relay Station JYZ1881!

Going there had only one purpose.

To evolve the *Cui Can*!

Anyway, everything was sold at the space relay station.

Even things not available in the Solar System could be found at the space relay station.

He didn't have to worry about running out of stock to evolve the *Cui Can*.

The price might be about 4%-6% higher...

But Xu Zi'an felt.

He couldn't wait another moment.

Aiming toward the direction of Space Relay Station JYZ1881.

He activated the pulse jump propulsion engine.

Space gradually distorted.

The *Cui Can* disappeared from the spot instantly.
