At that moment, Liu Limin suddenly raised his hand and spoke up.
Next to him, Cao Yingjun looked over in surprise, seemingly not expecting his single-celled organism of a roommate to actually have a question.
The female teacher nodded to indicate him to speak, “Go ahead.”
“Teacher, I’m just curious. Do these confirmed creatures include the discovered star space creatures? I haven’t come into contact with them, but I have heard of it,” Liu Limin asked.
His question prompted many students to also start thinking.
Star space creatures are considered the most mysterious kind of creatures, with no one knowing their true place of origin.
“Including,” the female teacher nodded affirmatively, “However, in the struggles over a thousand years, the number of star space creature species has been rapidly declining, even on the verge of extinction at one point, but in recent years they have shown signs of resurgence… However, I should remind you that there is current disagreement within the academic community regarding the boundaries of what constitutes a star space creature.
There is a voice that proves that certain DNA fragments of some star space creatures are actually similar to creatures from more ancient times in our world, so it cannot be ruled out that these current star space creatures might have been bred by someone.”
The classroom erupted into commotion.
“Artificially created creatures?”
“Damn, who would do something so disgusting, can’t evolve themselves properly, have to evolve this kind of thing?”
“As far as I know, star space creatures are never the good guys, most of them will slaughter human beings…”
The female teacher raised her hand to quiet them down and said, “You don’t need to worry so much, the Federation is always investigating this matter deeply.”
“Teacher, could there be a possibility that these star space creatures are originally creatures from our world, like fossilized products?” the male student who raised his hand earlier asked again.
The female teacher wasn’t surprised, nodding her head, “As I just mentioned, there are some similarities in the DNA fragments with ancient creatures, but more evidence is needed to substantiate this.”
With that said,
She gestured toward the data projected from the projector.
“I’m sure you all know about Snow Dragon Mountain. There are fierce beasts that are vicious and possess strong abilities. These creatures are also excellent medicinal materials. For example, Small Yuandan and Calming Incense require these creatures as ingredients…
After you all understand the basics in one week’s time, we’ll start the bounty mode, and you can go to Snow Dragon Mountain to experience it for yourselves.”
Many students were eagerly anticipating this.
The female teacher looked at their excited faces and couldn’t help but smile.
Though not as experienced as Lin Xiuxian in teaching, she had already taught one cohort and naturally knew what the students were thinking.
“In this week, you will be introduced to all the knowledge you need to know. What you need to do now is to calm down and learn some necessary theoretical knowledge. This knowledge will be lifesaving for you in the future.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Snow Dragon Mountain has been around for many years, and humans haven’t been able to fully conquer it, which also tells us something.
I hope that, no matter how much you grow in the future, you will always maintain a reverence for life.”
The students’ expressions gradually became more serious.
The female teacher pressed a button in her hand.
A planet appeared on the screen behind her.
Pei Jinye looked at the planet in front of him.
It was much larger than Earth, with blue regions scattered about.
He watched dazedly,
Feeling somewhat disinterested.
Just then, the female teacher’s voice came through, “This is the planet we live on. In the vast universe, only our planet harbors life, as far as is known to this day. Our technology has yet to support departing this star system.
But do you think that in this vast universe, we human beings are truly alone? Or could there possibly be extraterrestrials?”
Hearing this, the crowd started discussing fervently.
“I think there are.”
“I think there aren’t.”
“Why hasn’t Star Ring been able to find them if there are?”
“I just don’t get it; Star Ring has evolved the Federation so many times, why can’t there be a breakthrough in space exploration?”
“Nonsense, of course there’s been a breakthrough. Do you know how far our spaceships could fly before? Now with Star Ring’s help, we can detect up to 10 light-years away. It just means that within this distance, we haven’t discovered any other life forms.”
“So, are we really alone?”
“I suddenly feel so lonely.”
“Lonely my foot, over ten billion people in the world, and you’re talking about loneliness. If there were aliens, they might want to wipe us out.”
“What if the aliens don’t want us to find them?”
The heated discussion continued.
It wasn’t until the female teacher raised her hand that the voices gradually died down.
“Your discussions reflect the current mainstream opinions. Some people are adamant that extraterrestrials exist, while others insist that we’re alone in this world… but the exact answer is not yet confirmed by anyone…”
Pei Jinye was listening quietly.
He wasn’t sure if the “Different World” he had traveled to with the help of Flame God’s Coffin was a real world.
If it was a real world… then why would time stand still?
And why couldn’t he pick anything up?
These questions puzzled Pei Jinye in some sense.
Furthermore, he didn’t even understand the origin of Flame God’s Coffin.
Even Xing Tian could not give a definite answer.
Everyone suspected that it originated from a higher-level civilization.
There were even suspicions that Star Ring had connections with an external High Rank civilization.
But all these…
Were just speculations.
Pei Jinye had once devoured an Extraordinary Ninth Rank, but even the memories of this highest combatant of the Federation showed no sign of a High Rank civilization.
Probably…
Besides Star Ring, no one truly knew about the High Rank civilizations.
A slip of paper was passed to Pei Jinye.
He looked towards Ji Yuyan.
Ji Yuyan gestured for him to read the note.
“Do you think there are extraterrestrials?” it read.
Pei Jinye lowered his head and pondered for a moment before writing, “If there aren’t any extraterrestrials, that would be a very frightening thing.”
Ji Yuyan didn’t quite understand the sentence and tilted her head, pondering for a moment.
After a while, she passed the note back to Pei Jinye.
Three words were written on it–
“Why?”
Pei Jinye, not bothering to write, didn’t want to pay any attention.
But then Ji Yuyan tugged at him under the table, gazing at him with wide eyes and a pleading expression.
Meanwhile, Murong Xiyue looked suspiciously at the two, her gaze gossiping back and forth.
Pei Jinye had no choice but to write quickly, “Because in a vast sea, there are either no fish or it’s impossible to have just one fish.”
Ji Yuyan’s face was filled with question marks.
Although she could read the words clearly, when these words were strung together, she somehow couldn’t understand them.
Why couldn’t there be just one fish?
She looked at Pei Jinye.
At this moment, Pei Jinye was staring at the projection screen, recording something.
Seeing this, Ji Yuyan chose not to disturb him.
She flipped the small note over, quickly wrote a line of text, and then nudged Murong Xiyue with her elbow from the other side.
Without speaking, she just blinked.
Murong Xiyue understood in a second.
The note read, “Xiyue, do you know why in a vast sea, there are either no fish, or it’s impossible to have just one fish?”
Murong Xiyue looked at the note and then at Ji Yuyan.
Ji Yuyan’s eyes were encouraging.
After thinking for a bit, Murong Xiyue picked up a pen.
Ji Yuyan thought she knew the answer and immediately looked over with delight.
But Murong Xiyue wrote the exact same three words as she had.
“Why?”
Ji Yuyan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, shooting a resentful look back.
Murong Xiyue didn’t understand why she was acting that way.
She had thought that Ji Yuyan knew the answer, which was why she asked her.
Just as Ji Yuyan was about to say something, the small note in front of them was suddenly picked up by a hand.
Ji Yuyan reacted, hastily reaching out to cover the note, but she was a step too slow.
Especially when she saw that the person who took the note was a female teacher, she instantly turned into a quail, shivering.
The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became tense.
So far, no one had fathomed the female teacher’s depth.
On the contrary, Ji Wutian, reveling in schadenfreude, looked towards Ji Yuyan, finding the sight of his cousin being snubbed more delightful than if he himself had scored the first place in the exams.
“What is this?” the female teacher asked expressionlessly as she flipped through the small note.
At first, she thought it might be the usual trivial chat between girls.
However, when she turned it over, she was instantly captivated by a line of text.
“Because in a vast sea, there are either no fish or it’s impossible to have just one fish.”
At first glance, this statement seemed quite ordinary.
But as the female teacher noticed the two lines of dialogue at the top, her expression instantly changed.
The more she pondered, the more she felt that this phrase was an ultimate truth of human existence.
“Who wrote this?” she asked, gesturing with the note in her hand towards the two girls.
Ji Yuyan stood up reluctantly.
Adhering to the principle that one who commits the deed should take responsibility, she took the initiative to take the blame.
Who would have known that the female teacher would actually praise her?
“Your way of thinking is excellent, really good. To think of such things at such a young age, what’s your name?”
“Huh?”
Ji Yuyan was stunned.
What had I thought of?
Didn’t I just ask why?
Is that worth praise?
She instinctively looked at Pei Jinye.
At this point, there was also some stirring in the classroom.
This made Ji Wutian, who originally wanted to enjoy the drama, gawk as well, and he couldn’t help but say, “What did she say?”
And internally added, “Is it necessary?”
The female teacher, unusually unbothered, smiled and said, “I think this sentence is very good, and I’ll share it with you all. You can all think about it.”
All eyes turned her way.
Even Ji Yuyan was a bit puzzled.
She seemed to guess something looking at Pei Jinye, but was also uncertain.
The female teacher picked up the note again.
“‘In a vast sea, there are either no fish or it’s impossible to have just one fish.’ Can you all understand this sentence?”
Many students lowered their heads in contemplation.
Zhong Taishu looked towards Situ Liyue, while Situ Liyue looked at both Pei Jinye and Ji Yuyan, having observed their whispering the entire time.
“You tell everyone, don’t be afraid, just say what you’re thinking,” the female teacher encouraged as she looked towards Ji Yuyan.
And it was at that moment,
Ji Yuyan laughed awkwardly.
Pointing a finger,
She “betrayed” on the spot.
“Teacher, Pei Jinye said this!”
She looked at Pei Jinye.
Her eyes filled with grievance.
You started this culturally profound charade; you keep playing it. I can’t help you, pal.
…
At that moment,
The entire classroom burst into an uproar.

All eyes were instantly on Pei Jinye.
Even Ji Wutian stumbled.
“What the hell? Old Pei, you’re so deep?”
Pei Jinye: “???”
He looked helpless,
Patted Ji Wutian on the shoulder, and lamented,
“I wanted to live peacefully with you guys as an ordinary person, but alas, my strength won’t allow it.”
