Before long, the room was filled with the aroma of food.

"Woohoo!"

"It's absolutely delicious!"

"..."

Liu Qi was almost moved to tears as he ate; ever since Chu Xuan and Han Duoduo left, his standard of living had plummeted.

Now, he finally had meat again.

Braised chicken drumsticks, dried beef, twice-cooked pork... eight dishes in total, four meat, three vegetable, and one soup.

Han Duoduo continuously served dishes to Liu Qi and Han Ziang.

She wasn't lacking this food, and she was about to embark on a long journey.

She didn't know if there would be danger; hopefully not, but if there was, this might be their last reunion meal.

"What?"

"Go work with my dad? Can't contact in real-time?"

"Can I go?"

Upon learning that Chu Xuan and Han Duoduo were changing workplaces, Liu Qi's interest was piqued.

Chu Xuan: "No!"

Liu Qi: "Alright!"

He didn't ask any more questions; he was already used to not being able to contact Liu Peiqiang in real-time, and now it was just two more people.

Chu Xuan had also mentioned that the specifics were classified.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be two Security Department special agents standing at the door.

"Is there any danger?" Han Ziang couldn't help but ask.

"I will protect Duoduo well."

"Mm!"

Although Han Ziang was worried, he also understood that with great ability comes great responsibility. What undertaking doesn't have its dangers?

You could choke to death eating, or drown drinking water.

You could even encounter a madman on the street and be sent to heaven with a single knife.

Duoduo had also grown up; she had her own judgment and her own life, and at least Chu Xuan would take good care of her.

She wasn't without support.

Look at Duoduo now.

After following Chu Xuan for the past half year, her entire demeanor had changed, and her height was almost on par with Liu Qi's.

She was in good spirits, and her skin was healthy.

She certainly hadn't suffered any hardships.

It was precisely because her condition was so good that Han Ziang even suspected Chu Xuan of doing something beastly.

Forget it!

He couldn't meddle in the affairs of young people... The next day, in the morning, Chu Xuan went to the school to meet He Shuli.

"Good!"

"You haven't forgotten this old man."

"..."

His own professorship, compared to that of a professor at the United Government First Science and Technology University, was significantly less prestigious.

Although he had achieved fame at a young age, Chu Xuan showed no trace of arrogance from his success.

He was still as humble and polite to him as ever, showing respect for his teacher.

With such a student, he was content.

After all, there were only two top Scientists in the entire Underground City, and Chu Xuan was the first Scientist among his students.

As a mentor, he was extremely proud!

Of course, He Shuli also understood that it had little to do with their relationship.

That was because the young man truly had the ability.

But what did that matter? It didn't stop him from being proud of Chu Xuan... Over the next few days, Chu Xuan met with several acquaintances, such as Qian Jinhua, the former director of the N3 Experimental Base.

Now, he had been promoted and was in charge of all Experimental Bases in the N District.

Jin Xiangdong from the 108 Astronomical Observatory also came to join in the fun, bringing some fresh vegetables from the constant temperature dome there.

He knew Chu Xuan wasn't lacking, but it was a gesture of goodwill.

Xue family.

"Is it really possible?"

Xue Ming was struck by a pleasant surprise.

Chu Xuan had just said that if he was willing, he could recommend him to study at the First Science and Technology University.

"Mm."

Chu Xuan nodded.

A study quota was no big deal for him; his full professorship was not just for show and came with privileges.

He could recommend one person each year, as long as they weren't too bad.

"I am willing!"

Xue Ming didn't hesitate.

Seeing Chu Xuan's success, he, who had originally wanted to live a laid-back life, also felt that he should have aspirations.

Whether he could catch up or not was another matter.

At least he had tried... On October 16th, Chu Xuan embarked on his return journey.

Logically speaking, why didn't he recommend Liu Qi? Because Liu Qi didn't need a recommendation at all.

Liu Peiqiang had been conscripted.

Even if nothing unexpected happened, Liu Qi would receive many benefits.

Just like now, he had already obtained a Mechanical Engineering A3 degree.

The Underground City's university had made an exception, allowing him to enter the A1 degree program for in-service study.

With his existing foundation, he could graduate in one year.

Just like Han Duoduo, once his degree was awarded, there would be no obstacles for Liu Qi to pursue further studies at the First Science and Technology University.

This was what the United Government had promised Liu Peiqiang... On October 17th, at the United Government First Aerospace Base's physical fitness testing center.

"Pass!"

"Excellent!"

"Qualified!"

Many tests needed to be conducted before going into space.

The other screened individuals all went through them one by one.

However, Chu Xuan and Han Duoduo only had their blood pressure measured and underwent a few zero-gravity and overload tests.

He refused blood draws.

No one said much about this.

Chu Xuan was only twenty years old, young and strong.

As long as he could withstand the zero-gravity and overload tests, there would be no other problems.

And from the looks of it, not only did he withstand them, he seemed completely unaffected, achieving an excellent standard.
