Chapter 12 The Influence of a Sentence
"Why?" Zhou Wen asked, looking into Fang Ruoxi's eyes.
Fang Ruoxi's eyes were evasive, not daring to meet Zhou Wen's gaze. She shook her head slightly and said, "Don't ask anymore. Anyway, I am sorry for you."
Zhou Wen smiled slightly, put his hand on Fang Ruoxi's head, ruffled her hair and said, "I should be the one to say sorry. Someone wants to deal with me, so they implicated you, Tian Xiangdong, and Li Zhi. While there's still time, find another team member. Make sure you get good grades, otherwise I'll feel uneasy. Also, apologize to Tian Xiangdong and Li Zhi for me."
Fang Ruoxi stared at Zhou Wen in a daze, with a complicated expression on her face, including surprise, guilt, confusion, and a hint of strange emotions.
"Okay, go ahead. I also have to work harder." Zhou Wen retracted his hand, smiled, turned around and was about to leave.
Fang Ruoxi stood there, watching Zhou Wen's back. After Zhou Wen took several steps, she spoke with a slight tremor, "Zhou Wen, I don't know who you've offended, but that person's power is terrifying. You have to be careful."
Zhou Wen didn't say anything, just turned around and smiled at her, then continued to leave quickly.
Zhou Wen knew that he didn't have much time left. Li Zhi's family background was ordinary, but Tian Xiangdong's family was one of the most prominent in Guide Prefecture, and Fang Ruoxi's family background was even better. It had long been rumored in school that her father was a high-ranking official in the city, and a powerful figure.
Anyone who has the ability to influence these three people at the same time must have extraordinary power.
Zhou Wen couldn't think of when he had offended such a person, but considering that An Jing transferred to another school and fought with him, there were clues.
When they arrived at a deserted place, Zhou Wen picked up his phone and wanted to contact his father to ask him if he had offended anyone.
However, the phone received a notification that it was turned off. I don’t know what Zhou Lingfeng was doing. He didn’t turn on the phone in broad daylight.
After hanging up the call, Zhou Wen thought about what to do next.
"The most important thing right now is to find three students who are willing to team up with me to take the actual test." Zhou Wen frowned and thought.
The practical test is different from other subjects in the college entrance examination because the location of the practical test is in an extra-dimensional field. Although it is a dimensional field controlled by humans and there is not much danger, there are still many casualties in the test every year, so the practical test has a voluntary registration and free team formation mode.
Zhou Wen didn't know why the federal government chose this testing method. Every year when casualties occurred in actual combat tests, the federal government would be subject to large-scale public criticism, but the actual combat tests still continued every year without any signs of change.
Zhou Wen didn't mind the danger. With his current strength, even if he took the actual combat test alone, he could still get good results.
However, federal government regulations require that four students from the same school must take the test together in order to register, so before the registration for the practical test closes, he must find three other students who are willing to team up with him.
"There are only a few days left before the college entrance examination. Students who are willing to participate in the practical test have probably already formed their own teams. Who can we find to form a team to take the test together at this time?" Zhou Wen felt a little distressed.
Originally, he just wanted to get into a prestigious university, find a stable job, and play games quietly in the future, but someone didn't want him to be quiet and insisted on making trouble.
"Zhou Wen, come with me." Zhou Wen had just walked to the classroom door when he was stopped by Yu Qiubai.
Yu Qiubai's face turned grim. He took Zhou Wen back to his office and locked the door. Then he looked at Zhou Wen and asked solemnly, "Zhou Wen, do you know Governor An?"
"Who is he?" Zhou Wen asked blankly.
"General An is a respectful title that carries the nature of an official position. His real name is An Tianzuo. You really don't know him?" Yu Qiubai stared at Zhou Wen and asked again.
"I don't know him." Zhou Wen shook his head with certainty.
Seeing that Zhou Wen's expression didn't seem fake, Yu Qiubai looked puzzled. "That's strange. You don't know General An, so why would he single out and criticize you, a high school student, when he came to Guide Prefecture for an inspection?"
"Who does An Tianzuo have?" Zhou Wen probably understood now that the withdrawal of Fang Enxi and the other two was probably related to this An Tianzuo.
Yu Qiubai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a teacher. I don't have access to people like that. I've only heard the principal mention him. The Earth Federation is divided into four regions: East, South, West, and North. Guide Prefecture is just a small city in the East Region. Although that Commander An Tianzuo is very young, he comes from a prominent family. In his twenties, he already holds a high position in the East Region military. He holds real power and is a remarkable figure."
"Teacher Yu, do you mean that An Tianzuo is targeting me?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"Maybe it wasn't directed at you, but he said something bad about you. Those who want to curry favor with Governor An think and do much more." Yu Qiubai said helplessly.
"To be able to reach such a high position, wouldn't he know that his words could ruin a high school student's future?" Zhou Wen said coldly, "Could this Governor An be related to An Jing?"
"It seems there's some connection, but I'm not sure what it is." Yu Qiubai thought for a moment and said, "We can figure this out later. The most important thing right now is that you must find a team to sign up for the combat test. The registration deadline is the day after tomorrow. It will be too late if you delay any longer."
Zhou Wen said helplessly, "It's already this late. The students who are interested in participating in the actual combat test should have already formed their own teams. Where can I find people? Moreover, even if I could find someone, they can break up once, so why can't they break up a second time?"
"So, the teammates you are looking for this time cannot be ordinary students." Yu Qiubai seemed to have already had an idea.
"Not an ordinary student?" Zhou Wen was slightly stunned, not understanding what Yu Qiubai meant.
Yu Qiubai paused for a moment and said, "The combat test requires four students to form teams freely. This rule has huge loopholes and drawbacks, but the Federation has insisted on using it for decades without changing it. Under this rule, many students who are not strong themselves but have very strong teammates have achieved results that are not commensurate with their own strength."
After a pause, Yu Qiubai continued, "There's a student named Li Xuan in our school. If you're willing to team up with him, as long as he's willing, no one should bother you anymore. But in exchange, you must do your best to help him get good grades, and he must be the best student on the team."
"You mean, you want me to be Li Xuan's substitute?" Zhou Wen was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Yu Qiubai meant.
"Under normal circumstances, you naturally wouldn't have to do this, but now, although you can't get first place in the team, you can still get a good result. It's just that you can't be first, which is much better than not being able to participate in the actual combat test." Yu Qiubai said.
Zhou Wen wasn't a pedantic person. Without hesitation, he thought for a moment before saying, "Then please help me contact him, Teacher Yu. But is there really a student named Li Xuan in our school?"
If there really was such a student with such a prominent background in Guide High School, there was no reason why Zhou Wen had not heard of him.
"Although Li Xuan is a student at our school, he rarely comes to school except for the day of registration. It's normal that you don't know him. Even among our teachers, not many people know him." Yu Qiubai smiled and said, "In short, let's get through this difficult time first. It's not too late to make plans for other things later."
