Jin Ke: “?”
Wei San straightened her clothes and said confidently, “Back then, just in case I returned to abject poverty, I buried a bottle of nutrient solution under the tree behind the academy.”
At that time, she had to painstakingly scrape out a vial of nutrient solution from between her teeth and secretly bury it underneath.
“I’ll call my teacher’s wife later and ask her to mail it to me,” Wei San said.
“Sending something this important by mail?” Jin Ke was a little incredulous at her actions.
“If we take it too seriously, people will notice something amiss,” Wei San said nonchalantly. “Anyway, we order things frequently from StarNet, so no one will suspect anything.”
“……Alright.”
As soon as she left the meeting room, Wei San called her teacher’s wife to tell her about the incident, specifically asking her not to tell Li Pi, so that teacher wouldn’t criticize her again.
Jiang Wenying readily agreed on the other end of the phone: “Okay, I won’t tell Lao Li. Xiao Wei, have you been eating properly?”
“I’ve been eating properly.” Wei San deliberately brought her cheeks close to the camera. “Teacher’s wife, please check.”
Jiang Wenying looked at Wei San and couldn’t help but laugh: “I know, Xiao Wei, do your best in the competition.”
……
When the starships from the various military academies arrived at the white dwarf, the happiest people were Samuel Military Academy cadets, who hadn’t been back for six months.
Xiao Eli was the first to rush out; his family had said they would put up a big banner at the port to cheer him on.
Sure enough, as soon as they came out, they heard all sorts of shouting voices, all calling out Xiao Eli’s name.
There were even several aircraft in the air carrying huge banners that read “Samuel Military Academy will win” and a picture of Xiao Eli.
“Is the Eli family that rich?” Wei San looked at the huge, glittering banners in the air as soon as she came down, which looked like they were made of special materials.
“The number one family on the white dwarf planet, rich.” Jin Ke looked up at the huge banner in mid-air. “There aren’t many smart people in the Eli family, they’re just lucky.”
Wei San looked at Jin Ke in surprise; this was the first time she had heard him express himself so emotionally.
“The Eli family doesn’t have anyone who knows how to manage their assets, but whatever they buy goes up in value,” Huo Xuanshan explained. “They buy a piece of land, and it’s full of the remains of star beasts underneath, instantly increasing its value dozens of times.”
The five officers from Damocles Military Academy all stared intently at Xiao Eli.
A sour smell suddenly filled the air.
What does it mean to be extravagant? Today, the people from Damocles Military Academy got a real look at it: dozens, even hundreds, of luxurious aircraft constantly circled near the port, just to cheer on Xiao Eli.
Xiao Eli looked smugly toward Damocles Military Academy: “You’d never see a scene like this on your planet Sadu, it’s too poor.”
Wei San darted to his side in a few strides, startling Xiao Eli.
“What are you doing? You dare to make a move here?!” Xiao Eli instinctively stepped back, trying to avoid Wei San.
He still remembered that slap he received at the port of the Imperial capital!
“Brother Eli, you’re being too polite.” Wei San put one hand on his shoulder and said in a very ‘affectionate’ manner, “The competition is already halfway through, and we’re good friends, how could we possibly fight?”
“Who’s your friend?!” Xiao Eli shrugged, trying to break free from Wei San’s grasp.
“Of course it’s Brother Eli.”
Huo Xuanshan and Liao Runing squeezed over, calling out “Brother Eli” affectionately.
Everyone: “……”
“Brother Eli, your family is really rich.”
“Brother Eli, your parents are so kind.”
“Brother Eli, your family must have lots of delicious food.”
Damocles surrounded Xiao Eli, and amidst the praise, Wei San clapped her hands and said, “Brother Eli, you are going to treat everyone at Damocles Military Academy to dinner? How can we possibly accept that?”
Xiao Eli: “I……” When did I ever say that?!
He had barely begun to speak when his shoulder was pressed so hard it hurt.
As Xiao Eli was momentarily distracted, Huo Xuanshan immediately followed up: “Since Brother Eli is so kind by inviting us, we can only reluctantly agree.”
Liao Runing immediately called out to the school team, saying that Xiao Eli wanted to invite them to Eli’s house for dinner.
Damocles’ school team paused for a moment, then cheered in unison.
The five immediately dispersed, and Wei San patted Xiao Eli on the shoulder: “The media is watching.”
