back to Earth

Cheng Zhen, who was treated differently by Leiber, had just put down his luggage.

The boy looked around the room that belonged only to him, and showed a satisfied smile.

Compared with those so-called titles, a private space that is completely his own makes Cheng Zhen happier.He showed the first comfortable smile since entering Clemson Academy.

The room is actually not very big, but well-equipped.All kinds of advanced facilities that are convenient for life are available, and there are even special facilities specially equipped for mecha students.Looking at the rooms that are completely arranged according to human habits, Cheng Zhen thought that the college still cares about the basic life of the students.

And he didn't know that this kind of treatment was entirely the prerogative of the chief of the race.It is absolutely impossible for ordinary students to have such conditions.

Press a button by the window, and the dark covering instantly becomes transparent, allowing Cheng Zhen to see the scenery outside the window clearly.

There is no difference between day and night in the universe. Even during the current rest time, the scenery outside the protective cover is still dark blue as always.

But Cheng Zhen knew that once the rest time came, all outdoor activities would be prohibited.

This measure was originally proposed by the Interstellar General Assembly in order to save energy. According to the human 24-hour timing method, a curfew will be implemented after ten o'clock in the evening.

The word curfew is an annotation added by Cheng Zhen according to his own understanding. It is a word that fits the current situation very well.After entering the break, everything fell into silence except for the military equipment.

This is Interstellar Night.

Looking at the entire Clemson College that seemed to be in a deep sleep, Cheng Zhen looked away unknowingly.

Standing quietly in front of the window, thinking about what happened to me today.Sure enough, I was still too excited, thinking of my two lives as a human being, but today I almost lost my composure because of the hidden anger in my heart.Cheng Zhen could not help but blame himself.

He carries with him the memory of the 21st century. In that era, human beings claimed to be the spirits of all things, and their wisdom and abilities had no rivals on earth.But in today's interstellar era, human beings have become the weaker side.Cheng Zhen didn't take too long to get used to this reversal of status. It should be fortunate that he didn't inherit the inherent pride of human beings in the 21st century.

However, this does not mean that Cheng Zhen can endure the contempt of other races like his compatriots.Perhaps, it was precisely because he had experienced the peak period of human beings that Cheng Zhen could not allow human beings to be treated as a weak race.

The only way to change the status quo is to prove to the universe that oneself and human beings are not weak through step-by-step efforts.

The young man quietly looked out the window, under the calm surface, there were unknown waves hidden.

After reporting for duty, you can't go out at will. This was Lammermore's warning to the two at that time.As a freshman, Cheng Zhen was not yet bold enough to defy school discipline openly.

So before the official start of the school year, the bored chief human walked around the entire academy with his friend he just met.

Although the entire protective cover area belongs to the teaching area of ​​Clems College, less than one-third of the area is actually used for teaching and living for students.Other places are the residences of the college's faculty and staff and their families, as well as some commercial facilities.

Even if it is only one-third, it is still one-third the size of stars, and it is difficult to go through them one by one.Cheng Zhen and Misaqi screened together, except for the teaching areas of their respective departments, they only visited important places like libraries and training grounds.

As for the training ground of the fighter mech, it is not open to the outsiders at present, and Cheng Zhen regrets not being able to see it first.

While the two were wandering around the academy, they encountered the gatekeepers who stopped them when they broke through the door several times—the rock giants. Patrol duty.

"This is the first time I've seen a rock giant in reality." Misaki sighed as he looked at the far away figure. "Didn't it mean that they are about to exterminate the race? How did the academy invite this endangered race to be the gatekeeper.

The rock giants are a relatively rare race in the interstellar world. They are born with tyrannical physical strength. In this regard, even the Bertutans, who have the title of the golden family, cannot compare to them.However, their intelligence level is relatively low among the many interstellar races.The Interstellar General Council even hesitated for a while, whether to count the rock giants into the category of intelligent races.

Strong power, not enough racial IQ, this has laid a hidden danger for the extinction of the rock giants.

Countless poachers in the interstellar world like to go to rock planets to capture young rock giants, and then sell them to other higher races as slaves.As a representative of physical tyranny to the extreme, rock giants are very "best-sellers" among the rich and high-level races.

Sell ​​a race with independent thinking as an item.Cheng Zhen sneered, those self-proclaimed superior races were just doing ugly things with their gorgeous appearance.

If human beings were not the second awakened race in the interstellar world, would they have already become the second "rock giant"?Thinking of this, Cheng Zhen's eyes darkened even more.

"Cheng Zhen." Mi Saqi beside him called out suddenly.

"what's up?"

"Uh, it's nothing. I just want to ask, what are you thinking about?" Misaqi was slightly taken aback. "The eyes look terrifying."

Misaqi didn't dare to look directly at the fierce eyes like a beast about to rush out of the cage.

"It's just a further understanding of the 'reality' of this world." The black-haired boy sighed and smiled. "Let's go, don't you really want to go to the Starlight Pavilion? It's right in front."

"Ah, really! The Starlight Museum here has the most complete star field map in the interstellar collection. Cheng Zhen, you can't compete with me. I want to see it first!" Ignoring other things, I ran towards the domed building in front of me.

The black-haired boy who successfully changed the subject continued to stroll leisurely as he looked at his friend's back with a smile.

In the week before the start of school, apart from visiting the college with Mi Saqi, Cheng Zhen always liked to stay in his own room in the White House during the rest of the time.During this period, it was rare to see the two Botutans, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.

On Misaqi's side, there are always different freshmen coming in every day.According to Misaqi, more and more new students have moved into the ordinary student dormitory, and almost half of the students have arrived for registration.

At this time, there are only two days before the start of school.On this day, Cheng Zhen, who wanted to rest in the lobby on the first floor, met the fourth person in the White House.

"Oh? Human."

The same black-haired, black-eyed creature with a very human-like appearance said so.The tall figure was dressed in a decent black and dark red uniform, which made him stand up even more.

Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Zhen immediately stood up. After all, the dark red and black uniform symbolized the sophomores of the academy. "senior."

The young man was neither disrespectful nor disrespectful, and addressed him politely.

"Heh." The black-haired second-year student chuckled and walked over the process to the third floor.

"Work hard, freshman."

Cheng Zhen, who was left behind, looked at his back as he walked away, thoughtfully.This was the first chief of a race other than a freshman he met in the White House. Unexpectedly, it was that race.

The Vail tribe has a very similar appearance to humans, except for the slightly pointed ears.This race is elegant, slender, and handsome, just like the legendary elves in the 21st century.However, the Vail people are not elves, but a branch of humans.

Of course, they themselves do not admit this, and human beings are also unwilling to recognize this differentiated alien species.As for why, it can be seen from their unique pointed ears that the Vail people have genetically modified their bodies.

This is one of the eight taboos explicitly prohibited by the Interstellar General Council, second only to war.

It is conceivable that the Vail people who dare to break taboos do not have a good reputation in the interstellar world, even if they are strong enough.

As for how the Vatican escaped the interstellar sanctions, Cheng Zhen is not clear. Since the split, the Vatican and humans have never been in contact.

Unexpectedly, he would meet half of his fellow clan here, and Cheng Zhen sat back on the sofa with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

From two days before the start of school, the senior race chiefs began to gradually return to the White Hall.

In addition to Cheng Zhen and his three freshmen, there are six other residents in the Baiguan.The third-year Gold Clan is the only woman, and the other two chiefs in the third grade are an Amis from the Silver Clan and a Ryan Star.

However, the three principals in the second grade were all of the Vatican race, which surprised Cheng Zhen a little.

For these Vail people who can be regarded as half of their compatriots, he does not hate them like most humans, nor does he keep a respectful distance like other races, but is cautiously curious.

In this way, among the nine chiefs in the White Pavilion, three were from the Golden Clan, Botutan, and three were from the Vatican, and they were evenly matched.The rest are a Ryan star, an Amis of the silver clan, and Cheng Zhen who is a human being.

As a human representative staying in the White House for the first time, Cheng Zhen unsurprisingly received most of the attention, including the obvious malice of the Amis.

This malice is not concealed. I believe that not only Cheng Zhen himself, but also other people can see the dissatisfaction of the Chief of the Silver Clan with the newborn human beings.

Every time he faced that cold gaze, Cheng Zhen couldn't help rubbing his forehead. It's really a long story to tell what made the relationship between human beings and the Silver Clan Amis so bad.Speaking of it, it seems that a few years ago, the relationship between the two races could be described as harmonious and friendly.

In such a weird atmosphere, the annual school day of Clemson College arrived.
