The Seventh Base

Chapter 119: Chapter 23: Fat Sun’s Opportunity
 

Lin Xi quietly stood there, waiting to see Xu Mo finish the test.

Her gaze turned toward the control room.

The control room was soundproofed, so she couldn’t hear the conversation between the two inside.

However, Lin Xi somehow felt that the two inside were acting suspiciously.

Among them, a controller from before was communicating, seemingly seeking someone for some issue.

However, it seemed like he couldn’t get through.

The two walked out.

They glanced at Xu Mo, then looked at Lin Xi.

“How was it?” Lin Xi asked.

“The machine had a bit of a problem…” the observer said to Lin Xi.

Xu Mo showed a hint of confusion. Was there a problem with the machine?

It had seemed normal to him before.

“Sister Xi, perhaps we should just let it be,” Xu Mo suggested to Lin Xi.

“No, no!” The observer looked at Xu Mo and said with a smile, “Please, take a seat here. The machine will be ready soon. I need to step out for a bit.”

With that, he ran out hastily.

This was a crucial time to not be able to reach anyone.

Xu Mo nodded in confusion but remained standing.

The tester kept watching him, occasionally giving a silly grin.

This made Xu Mo feel very strange.

Could there be people in this world with some bad habits?

He was a bit anxious.

Outside, Ye Qingdie and the others quietly waited.

Just now, they had seen the screen flickering erratically.

A, A+, S, gibberish…

Finally, the screen showed gibberish but was then turned off.

So, what was the result?

The observer came out, and the gazes of the four instantly fell on each other.

“Machine malfunction,” the observer mentioned, noticing their glances, then quickly left.

Ye Qingdie and the others were stunned. A machine malfunction?

They were somewhat nervous. Couldn’t it be tested?

If so, wouldn’t their trip have been in vain?

…

The graduation ceremony at Noah Academy had already started.

At that moment, beneath the stage, all the students were there, vibrant and energetic.

On the stage, the academy’s leaders had also taken their seats.

Acting Dean Lin Qingze delivered an ‘inspiring’ speech and then sat quietly, like a wooden figure.

He was clearly in a foul mood.

It was embarrassing.

This year, during the opening day of the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, Noah Academy was almost at the bottom, and people from Steel Dome City were watching.

At this moment, their opening ceremony was being live-streamed.

Lin Qingze sat there feeling extremely uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.

Yet, he had to continue sitting.

Adding to Lin Qingze’s displeasure was the constant vibrating of his communicator. Which oblivious person, not knowing today was the opening ceremony?

In the center of the stage, Ming Hui was full of vigor.

This was undoubtedly the highlight of his moment, establishing a foundation at his alma mater, broadcasted citywide.

Even though it cost a billion Federation coins, the value gained was also tremendous.

After his speech, the next item on the agenda was for Acting Dean Lin Qingze to present the certificates of honor.@@novelbin@@

At that moment, Lin Qingze had already stood up with the certificates in hand.

Just then, a figure rushed up onto the stage beside the elder, shouting, “Dean Lin.”

The surrounding crowd was somewhat displeased. What was this guy thinking?

Such an important occasion, so heedless.

Lin Qingze frowned as well.

The person’s face was flushed, panting.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Qingze’s frown deepened.

From a distance, Ming Hui was also displeased, thinking this guy came running to have Lin Qingze present him a certificate.

“Dean Lin,” the man adjusted himself, then whispered a few words to Lin Qingze.

Lin Qingze’s expression changed rapidly, and he said, “Really?”

“No mistake,” the man replied.

“Let’s go.” Lin Qingze handed the certificates to someone beside him and turned to leave directly.

The person beside him, dumbstruck, took the certificate and looked at the departing Lin Qingze with a peculiar expression.

“Am I to present it?” he weakly asked.

Everyone around was baffled, wondering what had happened.

Ming Hui’s expression at this moment also became extraordinarily vivid.

Below the stage, a commotion had already erupted, and the media reporters were broadcasting live.

Noah Academy’s Acting Dean Lin Qingze was about to present a certificate to Ming Group’s Ming Hui when he suddenly handed the certificate to someone beside him and left the stage!

…

Xu Mo was staring at the tester in the testing room.

The tester occasionally grinned foolishly.

This made Xu Mo feel that the tester seemed not very clever.

At that moment, two figures walked directly in.

Lin Xi was startled when she saw the arrivals, then shouted, “Dean Lin.”

Lin Qingze nodded at Lin Xi, then his gaze stayed on Xu Mo.

Upon hearing Lin Xi’s reference, Xu Mo knew a significant figure had arrived.

The dean of Noah Academy?

Lin Qingze approached, examining Xu Mo.

Xu Mo also watched him.

Under his surprised gaze, Lin Qingze walked up to him, extended his hand, and adjusted Xu Mo’s clothes, asking, “Young man, you look spirited. What’s your name?”

“Xu Mo.”

“How old are you?”

“Not yet seventeen.”

“From where?”

“Desert Hunter.”

Xu Mo felt somewhat strange, was this a census check?

“Desert Hunter, huh? Are you in a relationship?” Lin Qingze continued asking.

“???” Xu Mo felt it was getting more bizarre.

“No.”

“No is good, our academy has many beautiful girls,” Lin Qingze patted Xu Mo’s shoulder.

“…”

Lin Xi: “…”

“Dean Lin, Xu Mo is an orphan without an identity card. I brought him here to test his Source Power Fusion Degree, to see if the academy could help arrange an identity card,” Lin Xi spoke.
