One day passed very quickly. When Gu Qingshan returned to the real world, only one hour had passed.

The communication device on the bed kept ringing. He picked it up to find 7 missed calls, and they were all from Su Xue’er.

Gu Qingshan called her back, and she picked up immediately.

Su Xue’er’s face appeared on the device.

“Qingshan, I have good news to share with you.”

There was a faint look of joy on Su Xue’er’s face.

“Oh? What’s the good news?” asked Gu Qingshan.

“I’ve been accepted by Capital University in advance, so I don’t have to go through the college entrance exams, and I’m going to report to the university right now!”

Gu Qingshan replied happily, “Capital University is the best in the Federation, congratulations.”

Su Xue’er replied regretfully, “My family has packed everything for me already, and they’re hurrying me to leave now, so I can’t visit your stall tonight.”

Gu Qingshan said, “That’s all right. I can always cook for you after you come back.”

He thought about it seriously and continued, “After you turn 18, you can take alcoholic drinks, so I’ll make you some drinks. That’s your privilege, okay? Not everyone gets to drink the drinks I make.”

These words didn’t seem out of the ordinary to Gu Qingshan. He had been influenced by someone in his previous life, so he would cook and make some drinks for himself whenever he had nothing to do.

He had spent some time and effort into making drinks, so he had reached a very high standard. Later, he even learned how to use ingredients from the other world to make wine, and this wine was very beneficial to one’s health.

Many high-level players wanted to befriend him, but they weren’t eyeing his commander status. They were eyeing the addictive tasty wine he made.

But when Su Xue’er heard him mention alcohol, she turned red and quietly whispered, “Qingshan, you must work hard for the college entrance exams. I’ll wait for you in the capital.”

Gu Qingshan was now a Qi Refiner Level 5 cultivator and even the slightest movement in the air couldn’t escape his ears, what more such a gentle voice.

Gu Qingshan had gone through two lifetimes now, and he could hear the emotions she had for him through these words.

He was a little stunned and wondered how the topic had changed so quickly from talking about food and drinks.

But his heart couldn’t help but start pounding loudly when he heard these words.

Gu Qingshan was about to say something, but Su Xue’er avoided eye contact with him and didn’t even dare to look at him anymore. She switched off the communication device with her little hand.

It was so embarrassing for her to say something like that. Su Xue’er felt like she was going mad.

Back when she’d heard that Gu Qingshan had been going to confess to her in front of all the teachers and students at the graduation ball, it had caused her great pain inside because she couldn’t have agreed to go out with him.

If she had agreed in front of everyone, then it wasn’t just her family who wouldn’t have let Gu Qingshan off. Many other heirs to aristocratic families would also have secretly tried to harm Gu Qingshan.

That wasn’t what Su Xue’er wanted to see.

In the end, it all turned out to be a misunderstanding, and someone else was behind it all.

At the ball, Gu Qingshan had faced this situation so calmly and resolved the entire incident rather perfectly.

Su Xue’er’s heart had relaxed, and she liked Gu Qingshan even more.

That’s why she took the initiative to call him today.

On the other end, Gu Qingshan stared into space for a long time. He snapped back to reality only when he saw a notification on his communication device.

It was a message from Su Xue’er.

“Gentle reminder. It’s my birthday next week.”

Gu Qingshan closed his eyes and thought for a while before replying: Okay.

He had to admit that he didn’t know what to do at first.

But everything was still going well.

Gu Qingshan quickly reached a decision.

He walked out of his room, swiped his pass at the elevator, and pressed the button for the 99th floor.

The elevator went upward until it reached the top floor of the Changning Steel Mecha building.

Gu Qingshan walked out and stopped at the processing machine in the middle of the top floor. He placed his hand on the scanner.

An electronic voice rang out, “Identity authentication passed. Number 41157, please state your business.”

This was Changning Steel Mecha Tech’s mainframe optical computer, and it was in charge of everything within the company.

Gu Qingshan replied, “I would like to connect to the Impartiality Goddess.”

After he replied, the electronic voice immediately spoke, “Connection to the Impartiality Goddess will require the system to go through an extremely detailed identity authentication process and to calculate your Personal Meritorious Service points in order to ensure that the credibility and reputation of Changning Steel Mecha Tech will not suffer any damage as a result of your personal actions. Do you still wish to connect to the Goddess?”

“Yes,” replied Gu Qingshan.

“As per your confirmation, the authentication will begin after one minute.”

The electronic voice faded, but there were many mechanical arms that rose from the ground and gleamed coldly in the light as they surrounded Gu Qingshan to carry out a series of authentication checks.

At the same time, the 99th floor was now sealed off and nobody else could enter at this point.

“Iris scan passed.”

“Blood test passed.”

“Biological characteristics match 99.1759%.”

“Checking for clone characteristics. Confirmed to be not a clone. DNA test passed.”

“Unique frequencies of life match records. Passed.”

“Checking recent activity, confirmed to be non-dangerous person.”

“Credit records in good condition.”

“Calculating Personal Meritorious Service…”

Gu Qingshan stood where he was and waited quietly for the complicated and complex authentication process to end.

The Impartiality Goddess was the main AI processor of the entire Federation. She controlled the operation of the Federation, oversaw all citizens, and carried out all actions in accordance with the constitution of the Federation.

The Impartiality Goddess was the product of the best of the Federation’s technology advancement. She was the most glorious and splendid result of human civilization.

Because the Impartiality Goddess was too fast at calculating the future, and her intelligence level and logic was far beyond many other countries, no other country had dared to attack the Federation for the last few decades.

After ten minutes.

The electronic voice spoke again, “Your Personal Meritorious Service has hit the minimum requirement and you have passed the authentication check. Changning Steel Mecha Tech optical computer will now officially request to connect to the Impartiality Goddess. Number 41157, please remain where you are and do not move.”

Personal Meritorious Service referred to the contributions that citizens of the Federation made to advance human civilization and improve human society.

The more one contributed, the higher the number of Personal Meritorious Service points, and that corresponded to better benefits or special privileges.

Even some important universities looked at this index and didn’t accept students who hadn’t reached their minimum, despite having excellent results.

Personal Meritorious Service points didn’t matter if you were part of one of the nine magistrates’ families.

Freedom Federation was a country founded by the nine magistrates, so they naturally had special privileges that ordinary citizens did not have.

“Impartiality Goddess has accepted your request.”

The electronic voice suddenly changed and became a solemn female voice.

This female voice used a unique way of enunciating each word, so there was a special rhythm to it.

“Dear Federation citizen Gu Qingshan, I am the Impartiality Goddess. Please state your request.”

“Please take note that all actions that waste my time will lower my review score of you.”
