Chapter 272 Proving Innocence
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage and looked at Chen Lie.
"You must be Chen Lie?"
Chen Lie nodded: "I am Chen Lie!"
"Hello Chen Lie, I am Wu Haitian, the director of the admissions office of Blue Star University, and I am in charge of the conferment ceremony of the Northwest Generals."
Chen Lie also said, "Hello, Director Wu."
Wu Haitian nodded, then walked to the center of the platform and announced: "Hello to all the special admission students of Blue Star University from the 7365th year of the Galaxy Calendar."
The seven of us who were in military training and were destined to win the Northwest General Star award have emerged.
They are, respectively, Lingnan Province—Shao Keyu, Dongzhe Province—Yan Feng, Sudong Province—Zhou Yang, and Jinhai Province—
Xu Wanqing, Zheng Zhongming of Guyue Province, Wang Tianen of Beixiang Province, and Chen Lie of Dongchuan Province.
The above seven students will receive the honor of General Star, with the Blue Star military recognizing them in their respective provinces and awarding them a special Blue Star reward of 100,000 Star Yuan Galaxy Coins. They will also be granted the rank of Junior General Star by the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters.
"Blue Star University knows that the students have worked hard to practice martial arts and that time is tight, so we will not take up any of your time. Next, Blue Star University staff will record the information of the seven students so that they can receive their rewards after they are admitted to Blue Star University."
As soon as Wu Haitian finished speaking, several staff members went up on stage to record the information of the seven people who had captured the Northwest General Stars one-on-one.
A staff member approached Chen Lie, asked for his name and hometown, and then gave him a certificate of honor for generals, saying, "With this certificate, you can receive 100,000 Star Yuan Galaxy Coins at Blue Star University. Even if the certificate is lost, it doesn't matter; you can file an appeal with the Academic Affairs Office of Blue Star University."
Chen Lie accepted the certificate, folded it, and put it in his pocket.
"Next, Zhuo Nuozhuo, a three-star general in the Northwest Front Army who is in charge of this military training, will land and award you the Northwest General Star Medal."
As soon as Wu Haitian finished speaking, a young military officer in his early thirties walked onto the stage.
The young officer clapped lightly in front of the seven men who had been awarded the Northwest General Star.
Immediately afterwards, a staff member came up carrying a tray with seven general's stars on it.
The young officer picked up the medals from the tray and pinned them on Shao Keyu, Yan Zheng, and the other six men one by one.
When the young officer finally came to Chen Lie's side, he put the medal on Chen Lie's finger and said, "Chen Lie, is that right? Come with me in a little while."
Although Chen Lie found it a bit strange, he still nodded.
"Students, next, reporters from Blue Star Times will interview you one by one. Of course, it won't take up your time."
The purpose of this interview is to facilitate your commendation in your respective provinces later. You can refuse the interview, but the commendation from the official media may be very monotonous.
Okay, those of you who don't want to be interviewed can leave now.
Liu Haitian, director of the admissions office of Blue Star University, added.
After Liu Haitian finished speaking, Shao Keyu and Wang Tianen, two of the seven, left.
Guided by the young officer Zhuo Nuo, Chen Lie went to an office in the central military camp.
Once inside the office, Zhuonuo went to the desk, said "Sit down" to Chen Lie, and then sat down himself.
After Chen Lie sat down, he asked, "May I ask what brings you here?"
Zhuonuo said, "Don't be nervous, Chen Lie. I asked you to come over because there's something I need to ask you routinely."
Your performance within the military training area is fully monitored by our Blue Star SkyNet system.
The SkyNet system shows that you completed the military training mission of hunting alien beasts in just a few days. Your highest kill rate was 23 alien beasts per minute, which is something even a sixth-level martial artist cannot do.
The highest number of beasts you can kill per hour is 143. In just half a day, you have killed 400 beasts. For your martial arts level, this is simply unbelievable.
When the strange beasts encounter you, they will instantly faint and be at your mercy. Even martial artists at the sixth level of the True Qi Wall realm are helpless against the flying strange beasts in the sky, but in your hands they are like chicks, powerless to resist.
The youths on our planet Earth could never be like you.
Now, military leaders strongly suspect that you are an extraterrestrial spy lurking on Earth, and they want you to prove your innocence.
If you cannot prove your innocence, we will report your unusual behavior on the military training field to the highest administrative body of Earth, the Global Political Council.
Of course, if you really have no problems, even if we report you to the Global Political Council, you don't need to be nervous; the authorities won't do anything to you.
Now you can prove your innocence.
After Zhuonuo finished speaking, he stared straight at Chen Lie.
Chen Lie said, "I am a mentalist. I accidentally learned a secret technique from outer space that can restrain alien beasts and can launch mental attacks against them."
"The intelligence of the beasts is low; first and second-tier beasts simply cannot withstand mental attacks. Therefore, they naturally lose consciousness after being attacked and are at my mercy."
"This is not enough to prove your innocence."
I understand the concept of Divine Sense Masters. Even those who have reached a certain level can only deal with first-tier beasts with all their might, and they may not be able to make the beasts lose consciousness instantly. A first-tier Divine Sense Master will run out of mental energy after dealing with a dozen or so first-tier beasts.
But you can make a dozen or even twenty beasts lose consciousness at the same time, including second-tier beasts.
You can even hunt down 400 strange beasts in half a day. I'll assume that hunting 400 strange beasts a day is your limit, but that's illogical.
I don't know if extraterrestrial divine sense masters can do what you do, but our native divine sense masters on Earth could never be like you.
"Please provide further examples to prove your innocence," Zhuonuo said.
Chen Lie's illogical behavior was impossible to explain clearly, so he could only say, "There is a computer here. You can log in to the official website of the Blue Star Genius Protection Bureau, enter my Blue Star citizen number, and check my information. I think that should be able to corroborate my story."
"Oh? You're a genius from the Blue Star Protection Bureau?"
Zhuonuo nodded, opened the official website of the Blue Star Protection Bureau, glanced at Chen Lie's citizen number, and then entered the query.
After entering the citizen ID, Zhuonuo immediately clicked "Search".
Suddenly, a notification popped up on the computer.
"Insufficient permissions to query".
Zhuonuo was immediately startled and couldn't help but say, "How could it be due to insufficient permissions? I'm using the Northwest Army's personal terminal!"
Chen Lie said, "I have a set of keys here. You can use the keys to check."
"you say!"
Chen Lie recited a long string of secret keys.
Following the key Chen Lie provided, Zhuonuo searched again on the official website of the Genius Protection Bureau.
This time, the pop-up page had different content.
"Please enter the name, information, and contact information of the person who requests this information."
Despite her doubts, Zhuonuo filled in her information and then searched for it again.
On the quantum computer, a brand new page appeared with the name: Chen Lie, gender: male, age: 18, place of origin: Changdong City, Dongchuan Province.
Genius Protection Level: SSS
Basic information: Ranked 10th on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Consciousness Sea Rating List.
World of Consciousness: Starry Consciousness Sea Rating: 2765000
Potential assessment: With a vast sea of consciousness, he has the potential to become a master of divine sense.
(Note: To protect the personal safety of top geniuses on Earth, those who access this information are prohibited from disseminating it. They must wait for representatives from the Earth Divine Sense Master Association headquarters to come to their location and cooperate with the authorities in enforcing the gag order.)
Upon seeing the search results, Zhuonuo was astonished: "He's actually a top ten mental power genius on Blue Star's trainee mental master list?"
No wonder his military-grade personal computer didn't have enough permissions; that explains it.
The top ten on the Blue Star Trainee Divine Sense Master list are geniuses who could become candidates for the Blue Star Global Governor.
The candidates for the Blue Star Global Governor have a superior status. Although they do not have much power or authority, their theoretical administrative rank is only half a level lower than that of the Global Governor, roughly equivalent to a member of the Blue Star Global Political Council.
-
This also reflects the importance that Earth places on geniuses.
"How about this? Does this prove my innocence?" Chen Lie asked.
Zhuonuo glanced at Chen Lie, his lips trembling as he said, "It's possible. I'm sorry for the intrusion, but we're just doing our job to prevent extraterrestrials from infiltrating."
"It's okay, can I leave now?"
"Sure, I'll take you!"
Zhuonuo stood up and escorted Chen Lie out of the office, but in his heart he wondered if all the top ten geniuses of divine sense on Blue Star had this level of ability.
Killing alien beasts is as easy as killing chickens. If this person becomes a master of mental power in the future, wouldn't he be able to kill master-level alien beasts as easily as killing chickens?
Therefore, even if Blue Star cannot produce a tenth-level Celestial Master, the beast scourge in the northwest is not a cause for concern.
The higher-ups have consistently emphasized that if we do not hold the northwest defense line firmly, the planet will be in danger of collapse. They have also repeatedly stressed how serious the beast infestation in the northwest is, and how it may worsen in the coming decades. Such emphasis seems unnecessary.
Among those of the same level, there are nine geniuses ahead of Chen Lie who can hunt 400 exotic beasts a day.
In a decade or so, when the next generation of geniuses on Earth grows up, the threat of alien beasts will be nothing to worry about.
Zhuonuo saw Chen Lie out of the office, waved goodbye, and began to wait for the gag order from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association. The personal information of geniuses of this level is strictly confidential.
Chen Lie returned to the center of the camp, where a reporter from the Blue Star Times was interviewing the only girl named Xu Wanqing among the seven who had won the Northwest General Star.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, a reporter from Blue Star Times stepped forward and asked, "Are you Chen Lie?"
You are one of the seven Northwest Generals. Would you be available for an interview?
Chen Lie shook his head and said, "No need."
"Oh well!"
Upon hearing the reply, the staff of Blue Star Times had no choice but to leave.
Chen Lie stepped off the stage, and Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er came over one after the other.
"Chen Lie, congratulations on winning the Northwest General Star. This is an honor that only the top twenty provinces on Blue Star can possibly obtain," Luo Zhixun said.
Tang Jiu'er said, "Honor or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that the reward of 100,000 Star Yuan Galaxy Coins for capturing the Northwest General Star is very valuable."
My sister is a student at Starry Sky University, and she's told me many times that the Star Yuan Coin, which is used throughout the Canglan Star Region, is extremely valuable. It's a currency recognized by all planets, and ordinary people simply can't find a way to earn Galaxy Coins.
Just as Chen Lie was about to speak, he suddenly saw a young girl, not very old, angrily approach him.
"You're Chen Lie?"
Chen Lie sized up the girl in front of him and asked, "Who are you?"
"You took my spot as a general, and you say you don't know me?"
At this moment, a special recruit from Nanjiang Province walked over and said to Chen Lie, "This is Han Keke, the martial arts champion of Nanjiang Province."
"Nanjiang Province? The seventh-ranked martial arts province on Earth, Nanjiang Province?" Tang Jiu'er asked in surprise.
Chen Lie looked at Han Keke and asked, "Did you need something from me?"
"Hmph, you've taken up my personal general's spot. Don't you know why I'm looking for you?" Han Keke said coldly.
"You took my spot? The Northwest General Star should be a fair competition. You're not as skilled as others and don't have the ability to compete for the Northwest General Star, so you're blaming me?" Chen Lie retorted.
"You say I'm not capable of vying for the Northwest General Star? That's laughable!"
Go ask around, if I wanted to seize the Northwest General Star, how many could rival me?
"Oh, so why didn't you get one of the general's spots? Was it because you didn't want to?"
"you----"
Han Keke was speechless at Chen Lie's question.
At this moment, Xu Wanqing, who was on stage, also walked down with a smile.
"That's right, Han Keke. You didn't have the ability to win the Northwest General Star title, and after failing the exam, you still have the nerve to question others about taking your spot. Have you no shame?"
Han Keke glanced coldly at Mu Wanqing: "You're just a defeated opponent. This is the only time you can come out and annoy me. If you really have the guts, then pick a time for us to have a spar."
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Mu Wanqing said coldly, "You can't even win the Northwest General Star. It seems that your martial arts have been stagnant all this time. I really don't know why the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters ranked you at the top of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Extreme Realm Martial Arts Ranking."
Before Han Keke could say anything, the special recruit from Nanjiang Province behind her said, "Don't slander our Captain Han. She was just hiding her strength when she was hunting alien beasts at the military training field. If she really got serious, I can't guarantee she'll be first, but she'll definitely have no problem taking second place on the individual points leaderboard."
"Hiding your strength? Heh—"
Xu Wanqing clearly didn't believe that anyone would miss out on 100,000 Star Yuan Galaxy Coins just because they were hiding their strength.
Knowing that there is a risk of failing the exam, wouldn't it be foolish not to intensify the hunting of exotic beasts and catch up with others?
Han Keke ignored Xu Wanqing and looked at Chen Lie, saying, "I'm asking you, how did you, a person ranked 76th in the Blue Star Martial Arts Index, break through the thousand in the individual points ranking?"
Why did my points suddenly surge by over 300 on the last day? Did they mobilize all the specially admitted students in the province to help you hunt down the alien beast?
Xu Wanqing, who was standing next to her, was also slightly startled when she heard this.
A sudden increase of over 300 points in one day? That means hunting 300 alien beasts in one day? How is that possible?
Even Shao Keyu from Lingnan Province, who is ranked first in the individual points leaderboard, does not have this ability.
