However, since the brocade box containing the Substitute Straw Man could fly out of his Storage Ring on its own and land in Wen Xiangjie's arms, it proved that Wen Xiangjie was not lying.
Only the power of a Demonic Contract could take something belonging to him from his Storage Ring without his consent.
Lin Yongyue was furious with Lin Zhaokai at this moment, having failed to obtain Wen Xiangjie’s talent and even losing a Substitute Straw Man.
Was his brain broken? How dare he gamble with such a precious item as a Substitute Straw Man!
And at this moment, Geng Bingrong was still nearby, taunting him sarcastically.
“Why is Lin Yongyue so agitated? It’s just a small bet between juniors,” Geng Bingrong said, feeling refreshed.
When the Family Lin wanted to take Wen Xiangjie’s talent, Lin Yongyue had said the same thing to him; now he finally returned the favor.
Geng Bingrong looked at Wen Xiangjie with even greater admiration.
He truly liked Wen Xiangjie’s character—never taking a loss, brave, and resourceful!
Lin Yongyue had nothing to say, and didn't want to say anything. He stared intently at Wen Xiangjie's face for a moment, then turned and left.
If he stayed there any longer, he feared he would be so angry that he would lose ten years of his life.
Just a few meters away, he heard a teacher from First Military Academy seize the opportunity to say to Wen Xiangjie, “See, Wen Xiangjie, our First Military Academy can definitely protect your safety. You can rest assured and enroll in our First Military Academy!”
Lin Yongyue: ??? Are they crazy? Are they only going to fleece him?!
The admissions teachers from other universities also heard what the First Military Academy teacher said.
They immediately stopped arguing and glared at the First Military Academy teacher with displeased expressions.
Alright, alright, they were arguing endlessly here, and this sneaky guy just directly stole their prize, right?
They had initially thought he was willing to give up Wen Xiangjie, such a promising talent, since he hadn't said anything, and they were secretly grateful.
Bah! Shameless!
“Wen Xiangjie, our teachers at Four Seas University are also very capable!”
“Our Five Elements Academy can arrange a Dao Protector for you; as long as you go out, the Dao Protector will definitely accompany you.”
“Wen Xiangjie…”
“Thank you, teachers.” Wen Xiangjie said, “Thank you very much for your kindness, teachers. I have decided to enroll in First Military Academy.”
As the teacher from First Military Academy said, First Military Academy has Government backing and is a university directly affiliated with the Government.
Which university could have more powerful individuals than the Government?
What Wen Xiangjie needed most right now was time; with her abilities, she was confident she could grow quickly.
However, she would not underestimate the danger of a world whose level was not considered high just because she was the Cosmic Anomalies Bureau's top-ranked task-taker for years; the strength of the Family in this world, capable of contending with the Government, was absolutely not to be underestimated.
Before she grew stronger, she needed the temporary protection of the Government.
The teacher from First Military Academy immediately puffed out his chest, full of vigor.
The teachers from other universities were so envious they wished they could flay the First Military Academy teacher with their eyes.
“It’s alright, Wen Xiangjie. Even a university isn’t impossible to transfer from. If you’re unhappy at First Military Academy, our Five Elements Academy welcomes you anytime,” said the teacher from Four Seas University.
“Yes, Wen Xiangjie, if First Military Academy can’t protect you, you’re welcome to transfer to our Five Elements Academy at any time. I’d be very willing to become your Dao Protector,” the teacher from Five Elements Academy said gently to Wen Xiangjie.
The First Military Academy teacher's face immediately darkened.
To directly poach their First Military Academy student in front of him, who was more shameless!
Worried that Wen Xiangjie, being a young girl who had just finished her college entrance exam, might be thin-skinned and genuinely persuaded by other university teachers if she stayed longer, the First Military Academy teacher quickly said kindly to Wen Xiangjie, “Wen Xiangjie, without further ado, I’ll take you back to First Military Academy to register now.”
“For the summer break, do you want to stay at the school early or go back to the orphanage? For your safety, I suggest you stay at the school. Don’t worry, the school will definitely arrange everything for you.”
“If you want to go back to the orphanage, that’s also fine; I can personally accompany you.”
“Thank you, teacher. I won’t trouble you; I’ll just go directly to the school to register,” Wen Xiangjie said gratefully.
“Alright, then let’s go now.” The First Military Academy teacher nodded to Geng Bingrong: “General Geng, I’ll take Wen Xiangjie first.”
“Xiangjie, this is Geng’s contact number. If you need anything, you can contact Geng at any time.” Geng Bingrong proactively took out his communicator and exchanged contact numbers with Wen Xiangjie.
“Okay, Geng, I’ll call you to chat even if there’s nothing urgent,” Wen Xiangjie said with a smile.
“Good, good, good, Geng welcomes it anytime!” Geng Bingrong laughed heartily.
Amidst the envious gazes of teachers and students from other universities, the First Military Academy teacher took Wen Xiangjie and boarded his flying vehicle, then left.
After traversing several space tunnels, the flying vehicle stopped in the First Military Academy’s parking lot.
Although everyone primarily uses flying vehicles now, according to old traditions, the place where flying vehicles are parked is still referred to as a parking lot.
“We’ve arrived, Wen Xiangjie. This is our First Military Academy,” the First Military Academy teacher said proudly, introducing it to Wen Xiangjie.
Wen Xiangjie followed behind the First Military Academy teacher, accompanying him on a tour of First Military Academy.
First Military Academy truly lived up to its reputation as the world's top-ranked university, appearing exceptionally grand and majestic overall.
Located amidst mountains, it resembled a colossal steel beast, blending futuristic technology with traditional military aesthetics.
Accommodation areas, teaching areas, combat zones… all basic facilities were readily available.
After the First Military Academy teacher briefly showed Wen Xiangjie around, he took her to the admissions office.
Watching Wen Xiangjie sign her name on the enrollment application form and receive the First Military Academy badge, he finally felt a sense of relief, as if the dust had settled.
This precious gem, he had finally snatched her for his First Military Academy!
The First Military Academy teacher, concerned that Wen Xiangjie might be tired after just coming out of a 30-day instance, took her directly to the accommodation area, personally arranged a fully equipped small villa for her, and after caring for Wen Xiangjie once more, he hummed a tune and returned to the admissions office.
“Oh, Old Lu, you’re in such a good mood today?” His colleague, another teacher from the admissions office, who had just returned from outside, saw him in such high spirits and teased him.
“Of course! I’ve brought back a top-tier talent for our First Military Academy!” Old Lu, who was Lu Dezong, was just looking for someone to brag to, and immediately said.
“A top-tier talent? How good? Let me tell you, I also recruited a great talent this time!”
