Chapter 174: Chapter 131: Just Remember the Agreement with the Mysterious Team

Shu Chao Yu said unhappily, "For my sake, can’t you say something nice for a change?"

"Have some ambition!" Wei Jin thought Shu Yao wasn’t thinking clearly. "Let me tell you, with your qualifications, even if you aced the district-wide unified examination, you don’t have a GPA. A ton of universities would reject you outright. For regular admissions, they prioritize students with both high scores and a solid GPA. But special admissions are a different story—"

Shu Yao raised a hand to stop him, declaring righteously, "No one is going to stop me from going to the Agricultural College to plant potatoes!"

In this cold, mechanical, interstellar world, it had been too long since she had smelled the fragrance of the earth.

Now, she yearned for the soil.

Unable to persuade her, Wei Jin came up with another idea. "Oh, right! You can pursue a dual degree! Plant potatoes and pilot a Mecha at the same time. You’d be mastering both agriculture and military arts!"

"Not happening." Shu Yao waved a hand. "I’ve already thought about a dual degree. My second major will be my grand-uncle’s mysterious science."

Wei Jin refused to give up. "What about a triple major?"

"A triple major?!" Shu Yao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Please, treat me like a human being!"

Wei Jin said, "Back then, your younger uncle..."

Shu Yao cut him off. "He’s single and has all the time in the world! I’m a mother!"

’If I study that many majors, what time will I have to raise my child?’

Shu Chao Yu felt personally attacked.

Before Wei Jin could open his mouth, Shu Yao cut him off with a verbal barrage:

"Teacher Wei, why are you so persistent? I’m not even half a student of yours, so you really don’t need to waste so much effort on me. If you really want to mentor a top student for a prestigious university, haven’t Wen Miaomiao and You Dan come to you from Class One? They’re both promising prospects!"

"Sigh, you don’t understand." Wei Jin glanced regretfully at Shu Chao Yu, who was acting completely indifferent, and sighed. "Your younger uncle is a genius. Before he even graduated, he received a guaranteed admission offer from Imperial University. But he turned it down.

After graduation, not only was he the top scorer on the unified examination in the entire district, but he also had the highest GPA. Getting into Imperial University would have been a breeze for him. The university even contacted his family! But what did he do? He enrolled in the police academy. Even though he wasn’t my student, I’ve always felt it was such a shame.

Later, after he graduated from the police academy, Military Department One’s command headquarters extended an olive branch to him. But he’s so stubborn, he flat-out refused, choosing to come back to the Fourth District to be a district cop instead. I don’t know what he was thinking! Getting into Military Department One’s command headquarters—that’s the dream of so many men!"

"’Follow your heart, and you will find your own success.’" Shu Yao found a respectable justification for ’doing things his own way,’ speaking with righteous conviction. "My younger uncle is my role model! Therefore, I won’t fight my own heart, either! I’ll do whatever I want to do!"

"How can you be so..." The rest of the thought, ’stubborn,’ went unsaid.

Wei Jin felt deeply defeated.

Shu Chao Yu patted his shoulder sympathetically and advised, "Just give up."

Wei Jin sighed, seeming to relent.

"Fine. Then let’s talk about something else—" He folded his arms and looked at Shu Yao, his expression intriguing. "The battle of Ice City, three years ago."

Shu Chao Yu shot him a look. "Have you forgotten the agreement?"

Wei Jin ignored him, his gaze sharpening as he locked onto the impassive Shu Yao.

"Three years ago, a conflict broke out in Zone 8. The city was encased in ice, becoming an impregnable Ice City. Our volunteer force from the Fourth Division was sent to Ice City to deliver supplies, but we were ambushed on the way.

Back then, I thought we were all done for. But at the critical moment, a mysterious team with mysterious technology and abilities appeared. They helped our volunteer force complete its mission and then escorted us safely out of Ice City.

We made an agreement with that mysterious team that after we left, we wouldn’t tell anyone what we saw or heard in Ice City..."

Shu Yao lazily cut him off. "I imagine what they actually told you was this—if you don’t want to bring disaster upon yourselves and the people around you, you’ll forget everything that happened in Ice City the moment you leave."

Shu Chao Yu and Wei Jin looked at each other, speechless.

A chilly smile played on Shu Yao’s lips. "The fact that the Austin family showed off their Mimicry Mecha Technology at the presentation today means one of you broke the agreement."

Wei Jin’s voice was grave. "The reason I ignored the agreement and went after the Austin family for plagiarism was to confirm that very fact. I don’t know what methods the Austin family used to steal intelligence from the volunteers, but I’m certain they have something to do with my comrade’s disappearance!"

Shu Chao Yu’s expression turned grim. "You mean... Duan!?"
