Gu Ya answered the call from You You.
“What is it?” Gu Ya asked.
“Brother! Are you coming back this weekend?” You You asked.
“Yes, I go back once a week,” Gu Ya replied.
“Don’t forget to bring Ye Ying jie back! Hehe. Sister Ge knows I’m home alone, so she brought me to live in the Alliance’s new community. The houses here are all new!” You You said excitedly.
Gu Ya smiled gently and said, “Okay, okay, I’ll bring your Ye Ying jie back with me on the weekend.”
“And me! Hehe,” Liu Feng quickly added.
You You hung up the phone excitedly.
Gu Ya and Liu Feng smiled at each other and walked towards the dormitory building.
In the afternoon, it was Thought and History class.
Sixteen students sat quietly in the classroom. The teacher, a seemingly refined old man with all white hair but full of energy, hurried in.
“My name is Dong Xianwen. I will be your Thought and History teacher.”
Dong Xianwen tapped the podium with his communicator. His name and communicator number automatically appeared on the holographic screen behind him.
Then, he picked up a coin-sized device and placed it on the podium. The course content automatically appeared on the holographic screen.
“Everyone, open your e-books, find the Thought and History class, and let’s begin with the first lesson.”
“The History of Xian Xia Country.”
Gu Ya had a vague impression of the history and development of Xian Xia Country.
Xian Xia Country was located east of the Great Loop Oasis. It had been established for 1320 years, during which it had undergone countless dynastic changes and technological leaps.
Three hundred years ago, the universal material Lei Ti descended to this planet along with a small comet.
The world was hit by comet fragments. The most severely affected were Xian Xia Country and the former Black Star Empire.
Xian Xia was almost annihilated.
Later, people rebuilt 53 cities from the ruins and gradually grew stronger.
The cities later merged, forming the current 24 super-large cities of Xian Xia Country.
Wu He City was one of them.
The destruction brought by the disaster was permanent.
What was once fertile land was now barren. Outside the cities, it was covered by desert and Gobi. It was almost impossible for humans to survive outside the cities.
The former Black Star Empire was directly annihilated.
Comet fragments gouged out countless craters on the continent where the Black Star Empire was located. Seawater rushed in, forming the prototype of the current Black Star Empire.
This was also the reason why the Black Star Empire was known as the “Land of Ten Thousand Islands.”
Later, humanity discovered the immense potential of Lei Ti.
With the excavation of Lei Ti technology, the scientific and technological level of this planet surged, gradually developing into the current mecha world, which relied on Lei Ti as the main energy source.
After that, wars over Lei Ti energy continued for several hundred years.
And two factions gradually emerged.
The Black Star Empire firmly controlled all the land in the southern hemisphere through invasion.
In the northern hemisphere, led by Xian Xia Country, various countries formed an anti-aggression alliance.
As Gu Ya was recalling, he heard Dong Xianwen shouting his name: “Gu Ya! It’s not right to be distracted during class! Answer this question.”
Gu Ya stood up and looked at the holographic blackboard, which was already densely filled with text. In the center was: “What is the development path of Xian Xia?”
Huh? The holographic blackboard, which was bare just now, was filled with text after a moment of distraction?
“Gu Ya!” Dong Xianwen urged.
Gu Ya didn’t know the core of Xian Xia’s development.
Several students turned to look at Gu Ya. The two students Gu Ya had beaten in the morning shouted, “Teacher, he doesn’t know this question.”
“You don’t even know such a simple question, how did you get into the Class A? I think you cheated your way in.”
Gu Ya’s face darkened, then he immediately summoned the system and found information about Xian Xia Country’s development path.
It was indeed there!
Gu Ya looked at his system panel and read aloud, “The core of Xian Xia Country’s development is people-oriented, based on the development of politics, economy, military, culture, and education, and technology, extending to various detailed projects. For example, in terms of economy, first, maintain domestic currency stability, stabilize the real estate industry, maintain the parallel development of the real economy and the online economy, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and so on. For example, in the military, vigorously develop new military technologies. On the basis of developing mechas, find military technologies that can break through armed mechas, such as the combat capabilities of individual mecha armaments, and so on.”
“For example, culture…”
“Good, good,” Dong Xianwen interrupted. “You’ve explained it in great detail, very good! Pay attention and don’t get distracted next time.”
Gu Ya sat down steadily. The other students were silent. Even the two students who had mocked Gu Ya lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Dong Xianwen continued lecturing for the entire afternoon. By the time class ended, he took a sip of water.
The history of Xian Xia Country was more complex than Gu Ya had imagined, with many major events and heroic figures who drove those events.
As Dong Xianwen walked out of the classroom, the mecha teacher Shi Heping walked in.
“Excuse me for one minute!”
“The school has decided to start an urgent training for three days starting tomorrow.”
As soon as Shi Heping spoke, some students in the class grumbled, “Teacher, students usually have a two-week adaptation period!”
“Yes, Teacher, we just finished training this morning!”
“The morning training really scared me to death.”
Shi Heping smiled and said, “Oh, teachers are also having a hard time! I finally got to teach the Class A first-year students, thinking you were all excellent and easy to manage, and I could have a good two-day rest.”
“Who knew the school would do this.”
“Teacher, can you report this to the school?”
“Why don’t we all go to the school to reflect this!”
Shi Heping still smiled and asked everyone to be quiet, saying, “After this training, it will be the weekend, and we’ll still have a break, haha!”
“It’s not the same, Teacher, the weekend is the weekend!”
At this moment, the class advisor Xie Fangbin walked in, helping Shi Heping out of the predicament. “I just received the notice, and there is no reason to refuse! The school has considered you, and next week’s training will not be assessed, so it will be relatively easier.”
Since the class advisor had spoken, the students didn’t say anything more.
“Class dismissed! Get a good rest tonight! The next three days will not be easy.”
Amidst complaints and chatter, the students left the classroom one by one.
Xie Fangbin looked at Gu Ya’s back and said to Shi Heping, “Pay special attention to this student, Gu Ya.”
Shi Heping smiled and nodded, asking, “Do you have an opinion about him?”
Xie Fangbin said, “He comes from a poor background, with limited resources, yet his grades are so excellent. It’s not normal.”
Shi Heping sneered and said, “Can’t outstanding individuals come from humble beginnings? Heh heh, you’re overthinking it.”
“Perhaps,” Xie Fangbin said thoughtfully.
In the evening, Gu Ya found Liu Feng in the cafeteria but did not see Ye Ying.
Liu Feng pointed to a distance. Gu Ya saw Ye Ying eating with several girls, and Xing Bin sat not far away.
Gu Ya felt uncomfortable and was about to go to Ye Ying, but Liu Feng held him back.
Liu Feng smiled and said, “Don’t rush. Ye Ying confronted Xing Bin in front of the whole class this afternoon. You didn’t see it, Xing Bin’s face turned red and then black.”
Gu Ya smiled incredulously and sat down.
Liu Feng said excitedly, “Wow, I’ve never seen Ye Ying talk to someone like that, sharp and merciless!”
“What happened?” Gu Ya quickly asked.
Liu Feng continued, “During the flight training this afternoon, Xing Bin kept flying next to Ye Ying, probably wanting to help her complete the training.”
“But Ye Ying’s technique was excellent. She finished flying out of the training ground in two minutes, a full three minutes ahead of the second-place finisher.”
“Later, in the rest area, the teacher asked if there were any other issues.”
Liu Feng suddenly laughed and said, “Ye Ying said that class monitor Xing Bin was suspected of framing her, haha!”
“Xing Bin retorted, but Ye Ying directly listed Xing Bin’s various actions. Every point was logical, and crucially, everyone saw it and no one dared to say she was wrong, haha!”
“Finally, Ye Ying said coldly…”
Liu Feng suddenly imitated Ye Ying’s tone, “Please, class monitor Xing Bin, don’t bother me anymore.”
Liu Feng’s imitation was not very accurate, but Gu Ya could guess the extremely cold tone Ye Ying had when she said those words.
Gu Ya laughed happily.
Liu Feng nudged Gu Ya with his elbow and grinned mischievously.
After dinner, Gu Ya met Ye Ying and wanted to invite her to tour the school.
Ye Ying said coldly, “No, thank you.”
Gu Ya said, “I’m starting three days of training tomorrow.”
Ye Ying stopped and looked at Gu Ya, still coldly saying, “Train well.”
“Come with me to the Alliance’s new community on the weekend. You You will be there, and Liu Feng too.”
Ye Ying lowered her head and said, “We’ll see.” Then she left without looking back.
Gu Ya watched Ye Ying leave, feeling a mix of reluctance and awkwardness.
This was the second time she had left without even saying goodbye.
Alright, take it slow.
