    Ji Wutian fell silent after Pei Jinye patted his shoulder, the silence almost deafening.


    He gave a resentful look.


    But deep down, he believed it.


    If it was what Ji Yuyan had said earlier, he definitely wouldn’t have believed it.


    His sister, lacking in other skills, he firmly believed had a rather small brain capacity.


    “Old Pei, that was awesome,” Cao Yingjun couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.


    Beside him, Liu Limin had already started looking at Jinye with eyes full of worship.


    The female teacher looked at Pei Jinye: “Did you write this?”


    Pei Jinye nodded without any hint of stage fright, stood up, and took the piece of paper from the teacher’s hands.


    “Actually, this isn’t hard to understand. Think about it, can you find pure water in nature?”


    In the classroom, many students nodded in agreement.


    “Indeed, the water in nature is divided into seawater and freshwater.”


    “To get pure water, you can only go through distillation; distilled water is pure water, so basically, there is no pure water in nature.”


    No one contradicted Pei Jinye.


    Because what he said was an objective fact.


    Seeing that everyone understood, Pei Jinye continued, “So, if a fish finds itself living in pure water, the answer is obvious.”


    The teacher had already figured this out, so she knew what he meant.


    “There’s a saying that goes ‘where water is too pure, there are no fish,’ this, combined with common sense, you should all be able to understand.” Pei Jinye didn’t shamelessly claim this saying as his own.


    The expressions of everyone in the classroom clearly changed.


    “Go on,” the female teacher was eager to hear more.


    “Let’s assume… I’m just making an assumption,” Pei Jinye had to continue, borrowing the classic assumption from Elder Huo: “If we have not discovered anyone from the future traveling back to our time, it means, before we invent the time machine, human beings will have already perished…”


    People gasped in unison.


    “But what if… what if the time machine really can’t be invented?” The boy who was most fond of raising his hand couldn’t help but ask.


    A lot of students thought it seemed reasonable at first.


    But immediately, someone shook their head in denial: “Transcendence has already been mastered, what about a time machine? It’s definitely just a matter of time.”


    Suddenly.


    The expressions of many students became complicated.


    “Does this mean… our future is really heading towards extinction?”


    Pei Jinye looked at the girl who spoke, shook his head, and said, “No need to be so pessimistic. At least that day hasn’t come yet. Maybe in the future, there will be a time machine, maybe even now. Regardless of which possibility, right now, we can at least eat and sleep.”


    Everyone laughed lightly.


    The tension from just moments ago dissolved.


    “Let’s go back to the earlier question,” the teacher said at this point: “So if a fish can’t find other fish, it probably means it’s in a bathtub, not the ocean. Similarly, for us humans, the same principle applies. If the entire universe is vast…”


    She gestured to the cosmic galaxies on the slides.


    Then continued Pei Jinye’s topic: “If the universe is so huge, but only our place is unique, then are we living on Blue Star, or… in that fishbowl?”


    As the teacher said these words.


    Everyone suddenly felt a chilling sensation.


    “I’m getting goosebumps all over,” someone said, looking at their arms, drawing in a breath of cold air.


    Others were too shocked to speak for a good while.


    The teacher did not pay attention to these students but looked at Pei Jinye with an obvious smile and sincerity: “Thank you, you’ve really taught us all a lesson today.”


    “You’re too kind,” Pei Jinye shook his head, very modestly.


    The teacher smiled and gestured to the piece of paper in his hand: “Could you give it to me?”


    “… Of course,” Pei Jinye actually wanted to say.


    I could just write another one.


    Beside him, Ji Yuyan watched longingly as the piece of paper with her silly questions written on it passed from Jinye’s hands to the teacher’s.


    She felt so socially dead, she wanted to perform artificial respiration on herself.


    The teacher looked at Pei Jinye, nodded politely and friendly, and as she returned to the podium, she looked at the roll call, paying close attention to the three characters “Pei Jinye” for a while.


    …


    After class.


    Pei Jinye was surrounded by Liu Limin, Ji Wutian, and others.


    “Old Pei, tell us more.”


    “What else is there to say, wasn’t it all just said?” Pei Jinye gathered his textbooks and notebooks together, “Let’s go, time for lunch.”


    “Speaking of which, are there really aliens?”


    “Who knows, ask Star Ring,” Pei Jinye said casually.


    Ji Wutian nodded in agreement: “Don’t say, I really think Star Ring might be able to create a time machine. Who are they, after all? They’re our human hope. If it weren’t for Star Ring, humans might have perished once already.”


    Liu Limin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spoke with mystery: “What do you say, could the Star Ring actually be from the future? Old Chicken’s earlier words really reminded me. Back then humanity was on the brink of extinction, and out of nowhere Star Ring led humanity to establish the Five Continent Residence. Isn’t that so exhilarating?”


    “Not ruling out that possibility,” Ji Wutian nodded.


    Liu Limin immediately got excited: “Does that mean we have actually already created a time machine and humans in the future haven’t perished?”


    Cao Yingjun poured cold water on the discussion: “Does this affect the two academic credits in my account?”


    Liu Limin was stunned.


    Cao Yingjun, yawning, said, “What’s the point of discussing this? Have you learned the [Basic Breathing Method]? Thought about how to exchange it for academic credits? Even if aliens really come, they wouldn’t care about you.”


    “Mad, would you die if you didn’t talk?” Liu Limin snapped in anger.


    Cao Yingjun yawned again: “So sleepy.”


    Liu Limin lunged forward, and the two of them started goofing around.


    Pei Jinye and Ji Wutian exchanged a glance, neither intervening.


    On the other hand, Ji Yuyan, propping up her head, was watching Pei Jinye.


    To which Ji Wutian sneered in disgust, “Love-struck fool.”


    Ji Yuyan wasn’t embarrassed at all, “Mind your own business.”


    “Whatever.” Ji Wutian ignored her, threw his bag over his shoulder with one hand, and revealed a side-profile smile of self-admiration.


    Ji Yuyan kicked out in annoyance, “Greasy.”


    Ji Wutian couldn’t be bothered with her, chatting with some girls nearby.


    Ji Yuyan pouted, then turned to Pei Jinye, “What’s for lunch? Let’s all eat together.”


    “Who’s coming?” Pei Jinye asked.


    “Just us here.” Ji Yuyan looked around, “Oh right, one of my girlfriends got assigned to a regular class, they definitely won’t make it for lunch later.”


    The group, chatting and laughing, headed to the cafeteria.


    Along the way, students were coming and going.


    Some in groups, others alone with headphones on, gliding through quickly on skateboards.


    “Your theory really blew my mind.” Ji Yuyan also couldn’t believe that Pei Jinye had thought so big.


    But Pei Jinye shook his head, “Actually, it’s all been considered before, just that you guys haven’t thought in that direction, otherwise you’d have thought of it too.”


    “You sure have a way with words, sweet as honey.”


    “…Can we speak normally, please?”


    “Am I not normal?” Ji Yuyan, remembering her own writing on that note, once again grew a bit worried.


    As they were about to go downstairs.


    A group of people approached them head-on.


    Everyone around made way, seemingly with a lot of respect and fear.


    “They’re all members of the War God Society,” Ji Yuyan whispered to Pei Jinye after pulling him to the side.


    “Is the War God Society that domineering?” Cao Yingjun murmured to himself.


    He hadn’t expected.


    The departing group suddenly stopped.


    They turned their heads in unison to look back.


    Cao Yingjun’s complexion shifted slightly, realizing he had spoken out of turn.


    “What did you just say? Can you repeat that?” one of the War God Society members, a man with glasses and a buzz cut in a black uniform, said slowly.


    Ji Wutian stepped forward with a smile, “Isn’t this Brother Qiu?”


    He moved to extend his hand, but was stopped by someone next to him.


    The buzz-cut man with glasses looked at him calmly, “Your friend?”


    “Yeah, isn’t this a coincidence?” Ji Wutian said with a forced laugh, “Are you guys heading to class? We’ve just finished, planning to go to the Great Emperor’s.”


    Upon hearing ‘Great Emperor’, the buzz-cut man with glasses glanced at him silently, Ji Wutian’s smile remained unchanged, still the same playful grin.


    A “buzz” sound.


    It seemed like nobody noticed, but Cao Yingjun grunted softly.


    Everyone’s expressions changed slightly.


    Liu Limin was a bit angry but was restrained by Cao Yingjun, who said, “I’m fine.”


    While speaking.


    Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.


    Liu Limin looked over resentfully.


    However, the members of the War God Society looked indifferent, not taking him seriously at all.


    “Brother Qiu,” Ji Wutian frowned.


    The buzz-cut man with glasses spoke indifferently, “You can eat anything, but you can’t speak carelessly. For Dean Lin’s sake, I’ll let this slide.”


    Someone next to him spoke in a deep voice, “President, the student council members have arrived, they’re only waiting for us now.”


    “Mm.”


    The man nodded, not paying any more attention to the others, and led his team away.


    …


    After the others left, Ji Wutian cursed under his breath, “Bad luck.”


    Then he quickly went over to Cao Yingjun’s side, “Are you alright, Old Cao?”


    Cao Yingjun shook his head, “Just a shock, I’m fine. Someone must have helped me secretly just now, otherwise it would have been more than this.”


    “There was an expert helping us in secret?” Ji Wutian was stunned for a moment before turning to look around.


    Both Ji Yuyan and Murong Xiyue indicated they hadn’t noticed anything.


    This left Ji Wutian puzzled, “What just happened?”


    Cao Yingjun shook his head, “I don’t know, just a force that blocked part of that person’s attack.”


    “That must’ve been a kind senior or sister nearby lending a hand. But you really have rotten luck, bad-mouthing the War God Society right in front of a near-Seventh Rank, didn’t you know they’ve been holding a grudge lately?” Ji Wutian said sympathetically.


    “I really didn’t know,” said Cao Yingjun, looking rather pale.


    It was then that Pei Jinye spoke up, “Let’s go to the infirmary first, to get Old Cao checked out.”


    “Let’s go, I’ll lead the way.”

    …


    At the stairwell.


    One of the War God Society members whispered, “Brother Qiu, the guy behind Ji Wutian just now was Pei Jinye, the one who cost you eight thousand academic credits.”


    “Is that him?” the buzz-cut man with glasses raised an eyebrow, recalling briefly, “Doesn’t look like much.”


    “Of course, that kid is no match for you, Brother Qiu.”
