Chapter 39 The World Is Not Peaceful

Xu Ying regards the title of "the strongest" as an empty title, but the two parties involved in the final showdown do not think so.

Su Tao could beat Guo Qiwei in seconds, but later he met Zhao Tianyu, and they almost "died together". What made him quite unhappy was that Zhao Tianyu surpassed himself, caught up with him, and even beat him slightly, winning the title of No. 1 in the country.

If Zhao Tianyu knew that Su Tao evaluated him like this, he would definitely teach Su Tao a lesson: You can compete with me when I am not using my full strength, but you cannot take my humility as the capital of your pride.

The modeling competition has come to an end for the time being, but the research and testing of asymptotic researchers has just begun.

Ji An's plan involved Dai Wenpeng and Wu Zhenyu. Dai Wenpeng was eliminated early and Wu Zhenyu stopped in the quarterfinals.

The three giants of the Day and Dark Project: Guo Qiwei cheated once and was still eliminated. Yang Yuan was average and ranked in the top eight. Qing Fuyu exceeded the task and tied for third place.

Needless to say, the three giants have great backgrounds and are involved in a wide range of affairs. As the "family" of the big shots, the painters Ji An and Shuang also have great influence. These five people are the key figures in the first phase of the plan.

There were five more key figures in the second phase of the plan, Zhao Tianyu, Su Tao, Pei Xinting, Jiang Han, and Ye Xitao, ranked from first to fifth, and their strength was enough to stand out from the crowd. These people were given high positions and generous salaries, and became colleagues with Guo Qiwei and others, working in the research institute.

On December 12, Mu Zhengguang went to school with a bandage on his body, shocking his teachers and classmates.

Lu Hao found it unbelievable. Mu Zhengguang was extremely powerful and had boundless abilities. He shouldn't have been seriously injured. "What happened to your arm?"

Mu Zhengguang sighed softly, and recounted his heroic words in a melancholy tone: "I was stabbed and suffered a minor injury. Do I have the ink?"

Lu Hao's curiosity was satisfied: "You said it was a minor injury, so it must be a minor injury. You have come to school, it can't be a serious injury."

"Yes. It has been placed in your desk a long time ago."

Mu Zhengguang took out a small glass bottle from his desk. The label on the bottle read "Starry Night". He squeezed the bottle cap tightly and waved the ink bottle back and forth in front of his eyes.

The gold powder in the colored ink is evenly dispersed into the ink. The color changes of the colored ink itself, coupled with the multi-angle reflection of light by the gold powder, make it colorful and gorgeous if you look closely.

"Thanks. It should last a long time."

"Not necessarily. If it's not enough, I have more. Come get it anytime."

"Ah."

After class, Mu Zhengguang went to the next class to find Ying and said enthusiastically, "The ink is done."

"Okay. Don't forget to come to my house for lunch."

After the meal, Xu Ying helped him heal again.

The gold sand was worn away and turned into ashes, weighing on Mu Zhengguang's heart. This was a process of "entropy increase" and it happened naturally. Xu Ying paid a heavy price and took great pains to slowly reverse this process.

Movement is both positive and negative, and can increase or decrease entropy. It drives all things to move and change. Activity and stop, order and chaos, change and constancy are all it.

Time settles into the golden glow in the hourglass, and the fine sand moves back and forth in the changes of time.

About half a month later, Mu Zhengguang's arm recovered.

At the end of December, his asymptote entity was back to normal.

The years passed by them peacefully and beautifully.

Time is like a huge wave, powerfully crushing the mediocre people.

The two competitions related to Asymptote have been subject to controversy since the day of registration, for one simple reason: the prizes are too generous.

Adding 10 points is scary enough, adding 100 points is appalling, and adding 400 or 500 points is unprecedented and shocking. This unfair treatment has ruined the efforts of so many people and made them go to waste!

The voices of opposition have never stopped, but the competition started, proceeded and ended as scheduled. The extra points and bonuses promised at the time of registration have been fulfilled. No matter how much others oppose, the matter has been settled.

The expression of different opinions was at best a minor episode, while more violent incidents continued unabated. From May to August, more than ten large-scale battles took place in Qichuan City, with more than a hundred casualties.

By September, some people were jealous of the extra points given to the contestants and started picking on the strong high school students. Many small-scale battles took place one after another, with both sides winning and losing, and the battle was in full swing.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying obtained the asymptote very late, so no one attacked them and they avoided the first wave of attacks.

After the preliminary round, the school held a commendation meeting, and several people were targeted and unfortunately injured. After the semi-finals, the school held another commendation meeting, and people with ulterior motives were eyeing them covetously. There were fewer people on stage, and the target was narrowed, but the strength was too strong, and few people dared to take action.

The confidentiality of the finals was well maintained, and at this point, the scores had already been decided, and the finalists were all very capable, so no one tried to attack the contestants anymore.

In theory, only the contestant can match his or her name to the final ranking: your last opponent can calculate your ranking, but does not know your name. Others know you, but have no way of knowing how you performed in the final.

Xu Yingze is very sensitive and thoughtful. At the beginning of the finals, she reminded her classmates, "Don't tell others about our ranking, even uncles and aunts. Parents love their children more than scores. As long as you tell them that the scores are enough, they will be very happy."

Mu Zhengguang kept these words to heart and kept them secret: To this day, among my family, friends, classmates, and teachers, no one knows my specific grades except you.

When Lu Hao asked about his ranking, he used the injury as an excuse to complain and avoid the topic. After that, Lu Hao never asked about his ranking again. Dong Chuang also asked about his results, but he replied "no comment" and the matter was dropped.

In order to better hide their ranking, Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying did not give 99% of the prize money to their parents as originally planned, but only handed over 55000, which was the accumulated prize money for ten consecutive wins. The two did their best to eliminate hidden dangers and fought side by side in the confusing and chaotic world.

By the end of this year, looking back on major events, there are only two frameworks.

The unprecedented "darkness" has brought about unprecedented disputes. The chaos has lasted for more than seven months, and the victims far outnumber the beneficiaries.

The grand and high-profile competition ended quietly and became a boring story that few people mentioned.

This winter, a snowstorm as heavy as the scorching summer arrived early. The cold air flowed through the drainpipes to the ground, forming sewage icicles thicker than water pipes wherever it passed.

Snow and ice accumulated, tree branches broke, and the school made an exception and cancelled the morning and evening self-study sessions for the senior high school students. The freshmen and sophomores were given a temporary holiday to go home.

In Mu Zhengguang's memory, it was the first time he had seen such heavy snow and experienced such a cold winter. Fortunately, with the asymptote strengthening itself and the air conditioning heating, he didn't feel cold, but he still sat on the bed and didn't want to move.

He thought, there is still winter in the City of Six Summers.

In the second semester of my senior year, the physics teacher asked everyone in class which season was the longest. All the students said they were the same length. The teacher said that after a while, you should wear short sleeves until October...

From mid-April to mid-October, the short-sleeved shirt season lasts for six months, which is how the city of six summers came about.

Mu Zhengguang glanced out the window. The snow had stopped and the world was filled with pure white and silence.

He opened the refrigerator and took out the big dumplings. He bought a lot of fast food on the day of the holiday, and he had been eating them for the past two days. Today, it was time to change the taste. The big dumplings made by Ying's mother had more meat and less vegetables, and they tasted very good.

Mu Zhengguang was thinking about when to give his aunt a generous cash gift, after all, he had received too many benefits. Moreover, he was not short of money now and had the ability to repay those who had helped him.

The bonus was 19 yuan, 5.5 yuan was given to my parents, 5 yuan was given to my grandparents, and the remaining 8.5 yuan was used for living expenses and pocket money, which was extremely sufficient.

Mu Zhengguang had carefully considered how to spend the money, but after thinking about it, he had no idea. This huge sum of money gave him the illusion that he could never spend it all. Even if he wanted to return the gift, he didn't have to give cash to his classmates, and he could spend at most two or three thousand on his aunt.

As he thought about it, he poured water into the pot, added salt, heated the water, and put the dumplings in. After the water boiled, he added another bowl of cold water and continued to cook. When all the dumplings floated on the water and the dumpling skins were slightly transparent, they could be taken out.

What a great feeling it is to be on vacation in the cold winter and wake up to a bowl of steaming hot dumplings made by your family.

Before I knew it, it was the third day of the holiday. Teachers and students all received the notice at short notice. The teacher did not assign homework, and the students did not bring school bags. Mu Zhengguang was on vacation at home, and he had nothing to do, so he finished watching "Happy Superman League Star Power".

52 episodes, it only takes one day to finish watching.

The strongest BOSS core Superman, who had been foreshadowed for several seasons, ended after only one season. This was unexpected but reasonable.
