"Sea Blue Star, 4.5 billion years old, with a radius of 6,378.2 kilometers. 71% of its surface is covered by water, while the rest is land. It is a sea-blue planet. It rotates on its axis every near 24 hours and revolves around its constant star, Xuanyang Star, annually. Its moon, Moon God Star, rotates around Sea Blue Star every 27.32 days..."
Lin Na finished playing the short film introducing Sea Blue Star, her gaze sweeping over the group of children below. She noticed a pair of eyes staring intently at her, so she followed the gaze.
The child had short black hair and black pupils, appearing slightly thin compared to his peers. His gaze conveyed some confusion, but it was clearly focused on her rather than the stereoscopic projection behind her, causing her to frown slightly.
Lin Na had always been confident in her disguise; posing as an introverted, taciturn planetology teacher was the least challenging role in her disguise career. She pursed her lips. If it weren't for the fact that this woman's boyfriend was the transporter of the Federation Government's cargo, she wouldn't have had to disguise herself as a woman who never exposed her chest to the air. Fortunately, she had already obtained the item and completed the mission. As long as she finished this class, she could leave this low-level civilization planet without arousing any suspicion.
But that boy's gaze concerned her. "Could he have discovered something?"
At this thought, she looked down at the teaching guide screen in front of her, lightly tapping the desk to display the seat number. The information about the boy quickly appeared in detail.
Name: Guding
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Gene Level: First Order
Special Ability: Not Awakened
Cell Comprehensive Index: 10
Spiritual Power: 9.8
Combat Talent: B+
Comprehension: A
Special Event: Once openly expressed during the New Student Orientation his hope to "become the man with the highest bounty in the entire Cosmic Sea."
Evaluation: Advantages, possesses extraordinary comprehension and combat talent. Disadvantages, personality is too strong and difficult to manage.
Lin Na was a bit surprised after reading the boy's information. "He doesn't have any detected special abilities, so it should be impossible for him to discover my disguise. The Cell Comprehensive Index of an adult with a First-order Gene is generally only 1. It's not surprising for a trained individual to reach the First-order Gene Body limit of 10 points. But such high spiritual power, this is not easily improved through cultivation... He actually openly expressed his desire to become an interstellar pirate in a Federation military training base. Interesting..."
A hint of amusement appeared on her lips, and she was suddenly in the mood to tease. "Guding, please tell us the current proportion of indigenous residents on Sea Blue Star."
Guding was initially taken aback, then calmly stood up. "The current proportion of indigenous residents on Sea Blue Star is 18.1%, approximately 340 million."
Lin Na secretly glanced at the screen for the answer, then asked a second question. "Second question, besides the indigenous people, how many immigrant species are there on Sea Blue Star?"
"There are 117 recorded immigrant species, totaling approximately 1.53 billion." Guding answered without any hesitation.
Lin Na looked down at the data and found no mistakes. She narrowed her eyes slightly, remaining silent for a moment before continuing, "Please briefly describe the event of the population decline on Sea Blue Star."
This topic was from the period before the New Era and was a dark history that teaching materials were careful to avoid. By bringing it up, Lin Na was clearly intending to challenge Guding.
Guding raised an eyebrow and continued to answer. "In Federation Era 7842359, or 2112 in Sea Blue Star's calendar, a meteor carrying an extremely contagious unknown virus crashed into the Atlantic Ocean of Sea Blue Star. The virus began to spread rapidly, resulting in the death of many living organisms, whose bodies were controlled by the virus to actively attack the surviving ones. In eight years, the population dwindled from 7 billion to 300 million, with other species having a survival rate of less than one in a thousand. The Cosmic Federation Government dispatched troops to preserve the civilization of this planet, taking seven months to completely eliminate the virus and rebuild and restructure Sea Blue Star. It was then officially incorporated as a member planet of the Federation Government, and the planet was officially renamed from Earth to Sea Blue Star..."
The awkwardness on Lin Na's face was fleeting, her gaze slightly shifting to the left of the young man she was looking at. It was a blond boy, languidly leaning as if about to fall asleep. She slightly lowered her head to glance at the name displayed on the teaching guide screen. "Guding, you may sit down. Reid, please answer..."
The day's class ended quickly. Just as Guding was about to get up and leave, Reid stopped him, lowering his voice, "Hey, don't you feel that today's Teacher Ailee was a bit different?"
"Yeah, she was different, so what?" Guding had clearly noticed some irregularities too.
"I suspect that the woman who taught us today is a fake." Reid raised an eyebrow.
"Fake?!" Guding was momentarily stunned. He had only intuitively sensed changes in Teacher Ailee, but Reid's speculations were usually well-founded.
"The woman exposed many flaws. First, when she tapped the teaching screen, she initially used her left hand, indicating she's left-handed. Then, she seemed to realize it and switched to her right hand. Everyone knows Teacher Ailee is right-handed."
"Second, the last question she posed to you concerned a topic from the planetology's dark history, which is prohibited by the Federation Government from being included in educational materials, and teachers are forbidden to discuss such content publicly. Given Teacher Ailee's rigid personality, she would absolutely never touch on such content."
"These are the two main flaws. Additionally, in terms of details, she exposed more loopholes. She didn't know our names, nor did she know the answers to the two questions she asked you. That's why she looked down at the seating chart and teaching guide. Over a half-hour class, the total time she spoke didn't even exceed seven minutes. The actual Teacher Ailee would spend about eighteen minutes explaining teaching materials each time. Need I go on?"
"I'm off." Guding had been busy organizing his bag and hadn't really listened to Reid's reasoning process.
"Don't you want to know where the real Teacher Ailee has gone? Who is that woman? What's her purpose in disguising herself as Teacher Ailee?" Reid seemed eager to continue his reasoning.
"Teacher Ailee should've been taken out, and where her body is located is something only the Federation Army needs to worry about. As for the identity of the woman just now, that too should only concern the Federation Army. I have to work for Auntie 'meat floss' now, goodbye, chatterbox!" Guding interrupted Reid's incessant chatter.
"Bastard, I'm not done! The chance that Teacher Ailee was killed is clearly only 91%, leaving a 9% survival rate! There's more than a 60% chance that this woman's identity is..." Reid cursed angrily, continuing to display his formidable and terrifying reasoning ability in a self-talking manner.
After escaping from the school, Guding rode a hover motorcycle westward toward the city.
The west side of the city was a backward and noisy area, littered with garbage that exuded a revolting stench, and the sirens that blared countless times a day made people's ears grow calluses. It was the root of evil and a paradise for criminals.
This area also had an alias, the Red Light District. Previously, the Red Light District referred to places of pleasure, but this Red Light District didn't. The red light symbolized alarms, and the Red Light District symbolized a place where alarms blared continuously every day.
Due to its chaotic nature, this place had also become a temporary haven for many interstellar pirates. Although Sea Blue Star was a newly developed planet, the number of passing interstellar pirates was steadily increasing. Guding had grown up in this district; as far back as he could remember, it seemed it had always been a haven for interstellar pirates.
Seeing the sign of the Rose Tavern not far ahead, Guding slightly slowed his pace. His gaze inadvertently glanced toward a street on his left and spotted a somewhat familiar figure.
"Eh, why is she in the Red Light District?" Guding felt a touch of curiosity but saw the figure disappear in a flash. Hesitating for a moment, he couldn't resist his curiosity and quietly followed.
