In the following days, Zhao Chen stayed in the academy because Chu Xuan was by his side. If he left the academy, she would surely become suspicious.

Therefore, Zhao Chen did not go to the temporary station of the Xiaolong Fleet during this time, only maintaining necessary communication.

To Zhao Chen's surprise, Li Wei's sister actually came to North Star Academy and even wanted to invite him to dinner.

Zhao Chen could understand a person's curiosity.

But he didn't want to expose himself too much for now; he had already revealed enough in front of the Chu family.

If, on top of that, the technologies he had given to Li Yaqi were all concentrated on him, Zhao Chen,

then Zhao Chen couldn't guarantee whether the Chu family would change their 'thoughts' about him.

Therefore, Zhao Chen refused Li ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) Yaqi's several invitations on various grounds.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Chen had been in the academy for about twenty days, almost at the end of March.

His daily life involved reporting to the class. However, most of the students in Class 1 of Grade 5 had participated in the joint interstellar mission between North Star Academy and Heaven's Glory Academy, so there were actually very few people in the class.

The rest of the time, he acted as Miss Chu Xuan's 'companion'. Chu Xuan often asked about Starships, and Zhao Chen didn't hide what he could say.

At the same time, through Miss Chu Xuan, Zhao Chen could learn many things that he, as an ordinary student or a baron, wouldn't know.

The entire Starlight Empire was far from as calm as it appeared on the surface, but those things had nothing to do with Zhao Chen at present.

The interaction between Zhao Chen and Chu Xuan was a matter of each taking what they needed, and they became more familiar with each other.

But those in the academy who didn't know the truth thought this suddenly appeared beautiful girl was Zhao Chen's girlfriend.

"Look, that Zhao Chen is out shopping with his girlfriend again."

"I heard Zhao Chen has become a student of Class 1, Grade 5. That's amazing."

"You know, Jiang Shasha rejected Zhao Chen before. Now he's become a rising star; she must be regretting it deeply."

"Shh, shh, keep it down. That Jiang Shasha is over there..."

Jiang Shasha, who happened to be passing by, clenched her fists upon hearing the gossip.

After the Jiang family moved away from the Owl Dragon Star System, they traveled a long distance to settle in another star region of the North Wind Star Sector, where the Jiang family had prearranged industries, so they integrated quickly.

Jiang Shasha also returned to North Star Academy after the semester started.

She knew about Zhao Chen's several excellent performances afterward.

Every time Zhao Chen showed outstanding ability, it was like a slap in her face, and gossip naturally followed.

Especially the recent time when Zhao Chen completed the fourth-grade triple assessment credits in just four months and skipped a grade to become a student of Class 1, Grade 5!

"He's just a little better academically. The mess in the Owl Dragon Star System is still there. After graduation, he'll still have to obediently serve as a baron, trapped in that broken place for life!

Shasha, there's nothing to be sad about. You have a brighter future!" Jiang Shasha looked at Zhao Chen's distant back, comforting herself.

Among those paying attention to Zhao Chen was Li Yaqi.

After Zhao Chen rejected her invitation, Li Yaqi was very surprised. After all, her identity was that of the Northern Goose Starship Technology Group, the current hottest seller of the t1 wolf louse-class medium interstellar destroyer.

Even during her visit to North Star Academy, the vice dean, tutors, and professors treated her with great respect.

Many students deliberately tried to get closer to Li Wei during this time, partly to show their faces in front of this emerging tech group boss,

and partly to possibly get their hands on a t1 wolf louse-class medium interstellar destroyer, which was in such high demand that the queue stretched half a year.

On the other hand, this Zhao Chen actually directly refused?

Something unusual must be fishy!

Li Yaqi began to investigate the information of this student named Zhao Chen.

A Starship assembled from three old Starships achieved an astonishing speed of 100 knots and even defeated a T2 Bald Eagle-class Light Interstellar Cruiser.

Later, he even produced a never-before-seen T2 Black Rhino-class Heavy Assault Frigate and defeated a T2 Purple Rose-class Medium Interstellar Battlecruiser!

Terrifying Starship technical capabilities, and a Starship never known to anyone.

All this information made Li Yaqi suspect Zhao Chen, but considering his age,

Twenty-one years old!

Same age as her younger brother.

Could a student like this develop excellent Starship technology?

This still made Li Yaqi somewhat unbelieving.

So Li Yaqi began to intensify her research on Zhao Chen, even trying to create opportunities to meet him face to face.

But unexpectedly, she saw Miss Chu Xuan, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, by Zhao Chen's side!

She had once been fortunate to attend a banquet held by the Chu family and had seen Miss Chu from a distance.

She didn't expect that a student from North Star Academy, a mere baron, would know the eldest daughter of the Chu family.

This made Zhao Chen's identity even more mysterious.

"Could it be that the Chu family also wants to cooperate with him? But if the Chu family knows his background, they have their own Starship technology group; there's no need for them to let my Northern Goose take advantage."

"That means the Chu family might not know Zhao Chen's background!"

"So annoying. I really want to rush in front of him and ask directly if he is that person!" Li Yaqi felt she had never been this anxious, even when negotiating business with others.

Finally, she decided to find an opportunity to talk with Zhao Chen after Chu Xuan left his side.

After all, if Zhao Chen really was that man, then her Northern Goose Starship Technology Group would have an unbreakable connection with him.

Zhao Chen woke up in the captain's quarters of the Blizzard Zero. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

He stretched. Although Miss Chu Xuan was here during this time, he still enjoyed the leisurely life.

【Quarterly mission completed. Mission rewards can be claimed.】

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Zhao Chen's mind.

Zhao Chen opened his system interface and checked the system mission.

【Quarterly Mission: Own five different models of T2 and above Starships (5/5)

Build a Starfleet with a fleet size of thirty Starships (30/30)

Own a t3 level Starship (1/1) (System-produced Starship)】

This meant that the T3 Blizzard, which Zhao Chen had been waiting for, had finally gone into service!

He immediately opened his communication interface to contact Charlotte, but the next second, Charlotte's message came in.

'T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser has been commissioned and will enter a one-week trial sailing phase.'

Zhao Chen replied: Received.

Now, Zhao Chen felt much more relaxed.

Having a t3 level Starship in hand felt different.

Unfortunately, because Chu Xuan was here, Zhao Chen couldn't immediately go and see his first t3 level Starship.

But for now, he could claim the quarterly mission rewards.

【Quarterly mission rewards claimed.】

【Obtained 30 mission points.】

【Obtained 3000 system points.】

【Obtained T3 Super Soldier Potion.】

【Obtained a T2 Snow Mastiff-class Heavy Interstellar Battleship technical blueprint.】

【Obtained a T3 Andromeda Interstellar Medical Ship technical blueprint.】
