But instant noodles are not good for health, could it be affecting your nerves?
"There were no blueprints in the lab." Qin Lingyan barely collected himself, expressionless, "No one helped any student cheat. The W network has always been maintained by the Hacker Alliance, so it’s impossible for an accident to have occurred."
The invigilator blurted out, "But the testing system clearly..."
"You should replace your testing system." Qin Lingyan interrupted him, "Qian Jun."
The steward named "Qian Jun" understood, and immediately pulled up a price list, displaying it in the form of a 3D projection.
"As far as we know, your institute’s testing system has not been replaced in three years." Qian Jun smiled, "Because the young master has recently returned to the alliance, the alliance leader is very pleased and is preparing to host a banquet."
"So, all services and products under the Hacker Alliance are also discounted. Your institute can choose any plan, and the Hacker Alliance will be fully responsible for maintenance."
Dean Norman: "..."
Such great salesmanship.
He had dealt with the leader of the Hacker Alliance many times and had once been tricked into buying a smart armor system incorporating both offense and defense.
Like father, like son.
Shrewd beyond measure.
The invigilator did not speak again.
If he said any more, he would be questioning the Hacker Alliance.
But Tian Yan was a bit stunned.
How could there be no blueprints?!
Had she made a mistake while importing them?
Tian Yan pinched her palm and gritted her teeth.
Once again, Ying Zijin had escaped unscathed, and this time she had succeeded in entering the Engineering Institute.
It wouldn’t be so easy to deal with her again.
Meanwhile, Qian Jun was discussing plans with Dean Norman and a group of mentors.
Qin Lingyan felt somewhat restless.
He frequently glanced at the girl and finally couldn’t hold back, stepping forward.
Ying Zijin glanced at him.
Qin Lingyan halted his steps, swallowed his words, and quietly made an "OK" gesture.
Indicating they would go for a meal together later.

On the other side.
Sage Academy.
A detailed report of the assessments from the two major institutes was submitted to the Sage Academy.
As for the other institutes, the Sage Academy neither had the time nor the concern to manage them.
The highest layer of the Sage Academy comprised twenty-two rooms.
Numbered from 0 to 21, each corresponded to one of the twenty-two major arcana of the Tarot Cards.
It was also the place where the Sages summoned others.
Each room corresponded to a Sage.
This was the second door, numbered "1".
A symbol on the door depicted a figure in a white robe and a deep red cloak, holding a scepter.
The place belonging to the second Sage among the Twenty-Two Sages, the Magician.
Gaining permission, the steward walked in.
But inside, there was no figure to be seen.
Only a voice was heard: "Speak."
"Reporting, Master." The steward respectfully made a full bow, "A few promising candidates have emerged from the Genetics Institute this time. This boy named Lan En scored 92 points, currently ranking fifth overall. He should receive focused training."
The Engineering Institute and the Genetics Institute, though listed together as the two major institutes,
everyone in the City of the World knew the Genetics Institute had two Sages behind it.
Any candidate who scored highly or performed outstandingly would get an audience with a Sage.
It was something that everyone longed for.
Hence, the number of participants in the Genetics Institute’s examination far exceeded that of the Engineering Institute.
The Magician’s voice sounded again, with a hint of coldness: "And the Engineering Institute?"
"Thirty people were selected in total from the Engineering Institute, the highest score being 88 and the lowest 60." The steward continued, "Here is the list, for your review, Master."
"No need." After hearing the scores, the Magician calmly said, "I am currently researching a new drug. You may leave, and do not disturb me."
Without scores above 90, it wasn’t enough to warrant his attention.
The steward bowed again and hurriedly left.
The door closed automatically.
The steward broke out in a sweat and was just about to head downstairs.
Turning around, he bumped into a man.
Seeing the man’s face, the steward was startled and hurriedly knelt: "Greetings, Commander."
As service personnel around the Sages, they had to remember the faces of all the key figures.
Fu Yunshen glanced at the door the steward had come out of with a half-smile, lazily, "No need to be so formal."
The steward stood up only after completing the bow, cold sweat dripping, "Is the Commander here to see the Magician? I can inform him now."
"Just taking a walk." Fu Yunshen replied indifferently, "I’m leaving."
Today, he had gone to see the Sage Pope.
Though "see" wasn’t quite accurate, as he didn’t see the Pope in person, only heard his voice.
After Fu Yunshen left, the steward’s legs went weak, and he knelt again with a thud.
This time, it was out of fear.
The steward wiped the sweat off his head, his heart still pounding.
Why did this man give him more pressure than the Sages?
He had met the Sage Magician so many times but had never been this terrified.
Furthermore, the Magician had always been unpredictable and would use the steward as a guinea pig for his drugs.
How could a newly appointed Sword Knight Commander make him feel this way?
The steward glanced again in the direction the man had left.
The dark figure gave him a sense of dread.
As if a devil was about to break through a long-sealed abyss and descend into the world.
Outside.
Fu Yunshen did not use the passage and leapt directly from the edge.
The abundant inner strength of an ancient martial artist was enough to support his safe landing.
The sky was vast, and the wind howled past.
Fu Yunshen brushed the dust off his clothes and took out his car keys.
His phone rang at that moment.
[Cute Girlfriend]: Officer, I saw Baby Face.
[Cute Girlfriend]: He is now the young master of the Hacker Alliance.
Fu Yunshen’s expression paused, his eyes deepening.
He was certain Qin Lingyan’s disappearance was definitely related to the City of the World.
How had this guy suddenly become the young master of the Hacker Alliance?
Fu Yunshen also had some knowledge of the Hacker Alliance; it was definitely one of the top forces in the City of the World.
The alliance leader was already in his seventies and was looking for a successor.
[Wait for me.]

Meanwhile, at the research institute.
The Engineering Institute and the Hacker Alliance had finalized their collaboration plans.
Dean Norman handed the matter over to Mo Feng and hastily left.
He still had to prepare for taking in new disciples and had no time to waste here.
Bier turned around: "Teacher, what’s the matter with the Dean?"
"He probably had some inspiration." Mo Feng said, "Let’s go, we’re visiting the Hacker Alliance headquarters."
Bier nodded.
Around them, whispers could be heard.
"I really envy Miss Bier, getting to go to the Hacker Alliance headquarters."
"Actually, that young master is quite a good match for Miss Bier in both looks and status."
"No, no, no, Miss Bier will surely marry into the Sage Academy. She might even marry one of the Sages."
Bier pretended not to hear any of it.
As she passed by Ying Zijin and Bing Lan, her steps slowed slightly.
Then she gave the girl a sweeping glance, her face devoid of any extra emotion, as if Ying Zijin wasn’t even worth noticing.
Bier didn’t know what Ying Zijin’s score was, but it definitely wasn’t higher than hers.
The reason she paid attention to Ying Zijin was certainly because of Ying Zijin’s high attractiveness.
But more so was a sense of familiarity that made her very resistant.
Mo Feng turned his head, "Bier?"
Bier brushed away her doubts and said indifferently, "It’s nothing, teacher. Let’s go."
She was going to meet the alliance leader and the young master of the Hacker Alliance; there was no need to pay attention to a mere newcomer to the Engineering Institute.
Bing Lan followed Ying Zijin and together they went to an outside restaurant. Bing Lan was puzzled, "Hey, Ah Ying, why did you choose a table for four?"
"There are two more people." Ying Zijin looked at the menu, "Let’s order first."
She knew exactly what Fu Yunshen would eat, and Qin Lingyan’s preferences were simple.
He’d be happy with a bag of instant noodles.
Bing Lan was curious, "Who else?"
Ten minutes later, the restaurant door opened again.
Qin Lingyan came in, wearing a hat and mask, wrapped up like a mummy.
