Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Happy Client

No matter which Chu River it is, this high exam is indeed the first time.

In the Star Sea Era, there’s no such thing as a high exam anymore; every assessment from a young age is a certification of oneself.

Moreover, at a very young age, you can choose your learning path, and holographic training will guide each citizen to choose the path that suits them best.

For instance, Chu River’s career direction as a child was to become a Star Police Officer.

With this goal, when she privately drove modified children’s Floating Shuttles and border kids’ armed toys along with various personal devices on the street, she wouldn’t be monitored by the Star Police as she raced through half of the Central City.

Later, as she grew into her teens, she perhaps realized the truth of the universe and felt that being a Star Police Officer wasn’t free enough, so she shifted towards galaxy observation systems development and such.

The aim was to become a significant figure controlling one side’s surveillance, or the chief engineer of program development.

This way, she could freely erase undesirable records or leave a backdoor for herself... cough.

However... the scope of galaxy observation systems development is indeed broad.

To ensure fair thinking and moral obligations for developers, apart from necessary testing methods, most of it requires assessments of literature and history information.

Including but not limited to various historical guidance and ideological judgments.

Especially ideological judgments... holographic simulation judgments, which are almost error-free.

As a result, the girl’s great dream fell flat, drowned in the miserable sea of failure, and because she successfully simulated a "decapitation" action during the holographic assessment due to unusual event progression...

Cough, anyway, don’t mention those bloody violent past events, and don’t need to elaborate on being forced by the community to undergo routine thinking assessments weekly.

Later.

Later, on the day she turned sixteen, Chu River used a little method to make money and became the boss of a black shop that modified private Sky Falcons, Floating Shuttles, equipped weapons, and underground arena mechanical armor.

On the surface, she also took on jobs repairing small home appliances for big companies on remote planets—almost struck it rich!

If she hadn’t rushed to compete while modifying a small home appliance, installing a military-circulated universal chip in the family robot’s core temporarily, she wouldn’t have been caught by Chang Geng and sent to military school for reformation.

At only seventeen!

All his fault!

...

Anyway.

Can’t mention.

Every mention is a bloody tear-filled history.

...

Nowadays, Chu River sits in the classroom, the fan above her whirring, the air filled with an oppressive and hot ambiance.

All the students sit upright, staring intently at the teacher on stage, who is meticulously displaying the sealed examination papers.

Her mind wanders to Old Chen still waiting outside the school gate and the occasional meals sponsored by kind-hearted teachers, suddenly reminiscing about her days climbing upward on the holographic battlefield.

Such peace...

Since she can enjoy it, now, she certainly won’t squander it.

Chu Fa Da straightens her back, her demeanor finally serious.

She sits there in the classroom, like a sword about to be unsheathed.

Suppressing and preparing.

Yet so calm and steady, as if everything in the world should be orderly and peaceful—just like human belief, no matter the change in time and space, it should be what it is supposed to be.

She takes the paper, and at that moment, without hesitation, signs the name "Chu River" in the name slot.

—She said she’d get the top rank, and she will get the top rank.

...

The two days of the high exam were indeed somewhat dragging.

As the first in the Chu family, after this period of training, her speed in doing the papers was like lightning.

Often, after an exam, she would spend most of her time daydreaming, swaying back and forth between "sleeping or not sleeping."

If she sleeps... honestly, this environment isn’t very comfortable.

Her spiritual power, too happy from the night before, is a bit active now; if she lets it go, it might unknowingly spread to those around her.

Spiritual power is invisible and intangible, so it won’t affect others.

But the problem is, what if she accidentally sees someone else’s eye-stinging test paper?

Not that Chu River is confident; just now she accidentally withdrew her spiritual little feelers because she was too bored and brought back the confident answer of the neighboring candidate—

Chu River really wanted to sigh!

This world... peaceful it is, but everyone seems not so bright.

Just one side of that underachiever’s paper could at least lose 50 points!

She originally thought her classmates were annoying enough, even hand-in-hand teaching couldn’t bring the scores up.

How did this paper only score 650?

Could it be that they never really tried?

Or were born missing something in their brain?

Unexpectedly, outside her class, her sisters’ strengths were actually the best among the worst!

Now, looking across the entire classroom, there’s not a single 700 scorer!

Not even a 650!

Tell me, how can it not be dumbfounding?

Her desire to sleep was gone.

...

While Chu River is being blindsided by the surrounding test papers, at the police station, the kidnapped rich second generation Zhou Bai is making a statement, suddenly can’t help but show a silly smile.

—Not for any reason, just thinking about what happened this morning is so satisfying!

Oh my god!

The green mark above his head seems to have been washed away, and the pent-up frustration in his heart is also gone!

Just the bill is a bit heavy, boohoo.

—But it doesn’t matter.

He’s rich.

He’s truly excellent, having such a formidable father, setting up such a great empire, now able to enjoy this refreshing experience as a client boss!!!

Zhou Bai proudly thought, couldn’t help but giggle again.

The recording officer’s mouth twitched, clearly dumbfounded.

He couldn’t help but signal to the person next to him—

[Do you think he was scared stupid by the kidnappers going nuts?]

[Impossible!]

The policeman opposite was evidently logical.

[Those two kidnappers were in such shape... scared how?]

After speaking, he thought about it, as a policeman couldn’t be so subjective, cautiously and comprehensively opening his mouth:

[You make a point; maybe the two of them were self-destructive, and the madness scared him.]

Both felt they had a clue.

...

As for why only Zhou Bai is taking a statement here...

Mainly because the two kidnappers are still unconscious in the hospital!

Doing a head CT takes time.

They saw the police on the hill and hugged their legs, desperately wanting everyone to come save them, complaining that the police came too late...

Police: ...??? Is this something kidnappers should say?

Looking at them again, their entire being resembling pig heads, obviously beaten badly.

But when asked who beat them, they couldn’t name anyone, only blaming ghosts, and fainting when pressed further...

These kidnappers’ tricks, the police have seen many times!!

Why not say it was Green Arrow, Batman, or Spiderman?

Clearly knowing that foreign ones are unreliable too!

Insisting on pulling a feudal superstition excuse, dragging their own country’s story to take the blame...

Hmph.

Shameless.
