130: I'm really not a scammer.

Lin Yan's wife was named Ye Ying.

The two met in college and, after seven years of dating, their relationship bore fruit.

A year later, they had a child, and their life was quite fulfilling.

Unfortunately, their good fortune didn't last; on her way to work, her electric scooter was rear-ended, causing her to fall into the green belt, which ultimately resulted in both her legs being disabled.

To care for his wife, Lin Yan resigned from his high-paying job and worked part-time from home, barely covering their living expenses.

"Husband, do you think that Elf Principal in the livestream can really cure my legs?"

Lin Yan held his wife's hand and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, my dear, you'll definitely be able to stand up again."

After an anxious wait, the couple finally had their turn for the test.

"ID card."

Lin Yan pulled out his undershirt, wiped the sweat from his ID card, and then handed it to the staff member.

The staff member took the ID card, skillfully placed it on the card reader, and then operated the computer.

Lin Yan gripped the handles of the wheelchair tightly, like a prisoner awaiting judgment, sweat pouring down his forehead uncontrollably.

The staff member brought up Lin Yan's information, and no prompts appeared. He routinely pointed to the crystal ball on the table.

"Put your hand on it."

Lin Yan placed his hand on the crystal ball.

Two seconds later, it displayed red.

Did that mean he passed the test?

Lin Yan's heart grew increasingly uneasy.

If following the rule of 'red light stop, green light go,' red should signify elimination.

"Sorry, Mr. Lin, you did not pass this test."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes immediately reddened, and his pale lips trembled uncontrollably.

He failed again.

It was like when he used to take his wife to big hospitals for check-ups, only to be given a death sentence by the doctors.

Only this time, it might be the last chance.

Ye Ying appeared very calm, instead comforting her husband.

She had gradually begun to accept her fate.

"Can I try?"

Staff member: "Yes, ID card."

Ye Ying took out her ID card from her bag. Lin Yan took it, and a final glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

The staff member took the ID card and placed it on the card reader.

"Put your hand on the crystal ball."

Wang Ying slowly placed her hand on the crystal ball, though she didn't have much expectation in her heart.

The crystal ball displayed red.

"Sorry, Ms. Wang, you did not pass the test."

Urged by those queuing behind them, the couple silently left the Municipal Square.

The couple were not locals of Magic City; they had come here for medical treatment. They had spent a lot of money but hadn't gotten very good results.

After a quick meal, the couple returned to the temporary hotel.

"Wife, wait here, I'll go pack the luggage, and we'll go home."

As Lin Yan was about to go upstairs to pack, a man in a suit and sunglasses walked towards him.

"Mr. Lin, are you interested in Star Sea Elemental Academy?"

Lin Yan was startled. A new type of scam?

That was his first thought.

After all, he had just failed a test, and now suddenly someone appeared asking if he was interested in Star Sea Elemental Academy. How could this not be a scammer?

"Not interested."

The man in black paused for half a second, immediately understanding what was going on.

"I'm not a fraud."

The man in black took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

Lin Yan took the business card and looked at it.

[Star Sea Elemental Academy Vice Principal: jarvis]

Vice Principal?

Coming to find him personally?

This was too fake... Lin Yan didn't even think, casually handing the business card back.

"I'm not interested."

Wang Ying somewhat worriedly grabbed her husband's hand, looking warily at jarvis.

"Husband, I think we should call the police."

jarvis expressionlessly took out a terminal, dialed a number, and amidst flickering light and shadow, a virtual projection screen emerged.

It was a nearly perfect face, precisely the Elf Principal the couple had seen in the livestream.

jarvis: "I really am not a fraud."

The couple were both stunned at the same time, clearly taken aback by the virtual projection screen.

Blue Star's current technological level was already very advanced, but it was mainly concentrated in Star Sea.

Among numerous tech giants globally, only one possessed virtual projection technology.

"You really are the Vice Principal!"

jarvis: "Yes, if you wish, you can complete the enrollment procedures now."

"After completing registration, you will receive the right to use a detached villa within the academy and a fully intelligent butler robot."

Lin Yan replied without hesitation, "I'm willing!"

"I'd like to ask, if I complete the registration, can the Principal, that is..."

Lin Yan momentarily couldn't recall Fan Xi's name.

jarvis: "Principal Fan Xi."

"Yes, yes, yes, can Principal Fan Xi cure my wife's legs?"

jarvis: "No problem, but she needs to pass the review first."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Yan felt light-headed; his wife could finally stand up!

Still uneasy, he quickly asked again, "Are you sure she can definitely be cured?"

jarvis: "I'm sure. Even if Principal Fan Xi can't cure her, with our Star Sea's technology, we have the ability to make your wife stand up again."

Lin Yan squatted down to look his wife in the eyes.

"Wife, this is great!"

Wang Ying was also at a loss for words at this moment. One moment she was in despair, and how could things suddenly take such a turn for the better?

"Mmm..."

Although Lin Yan wasn't clear why he suddenly received a personal invitation from the Vice Principal of Star Sea Elemental Academy, these things were no longer important. What was important was that his wife could finally stand up.

That afternoon.

When the couple arrived at the Starport, moved into the detached villa, and enjoyed the services of the fully intelligent butler robot, they finally believed that all of this was real.

Star Sea Building.

"Sir, Special Elementalist Lin Yan has been picked up at the Starport."

A virtual projection screen appeared in front of He Ming, displaying Lin Yan's detailed information.

jarvis: "Should we arrange for Fan Xi to perform the healing immediately?"

"Tell him that if he defeats the Hai Star people, his wife will be able to stand up again."

"Understood, sir."

He Ming walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down, his eyes slightly narrowed as his consciousness entered his inner universe.

The omniscient notebook emerged and automatically opened.

[How far along are the negotiations between Hai Star and Tianqin Star?]

[The Tianqin Star delegation stationed on Beastman Star will arrive at Hai Star headquarters in three days for the first talks.]

[List all members of the Tianqin Star delegation and their itinerary for three days from now.]

The reply appeared. He Ming scanned it, noticing one piece of information.

[Head of Delegation: Yan Chong, life index 95600]

"jarvis, arrange for Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Zhifei to support Beastman Star, and have Jiang Zhenhai make arrangements to intercept the Tianqin Star delegation."

"Understood, sir."
