Chapter 20

“For returning to the Immortal Program to undergo trials again, Master, you really don’t need to worry too much. As soon as the Immortal Program is repaired, Lindsay Brooks will bring you into the space at the very first moment.”

At this moment, the completely innocent and pure smile on Little Lolly’s face appeared even more sinister than a devil from hell in Brian Carter’s eyes. He couldn’t help but recall the thousands of painful deaths he had experienced over the past year and a half, and shuddered for no reason.

“How long will it take to repair the program?” After a moment of silence, Brian Carter gritted his teeth and asked.

Lindsay Brooks smiled faintly and said, “If we rely solely on the Immortal Program’s self-repair system, it will take fifteen Earth years to fully repair the second trial scenario.”

At this point, Lindsay Brooks even gave Brian Carter a very human-like gentle look before continuing, “But if Master can assist in the real world, the repair speed of the Immortal Program will increase several times, even dozens of times…”

“The weather is really nice today!” Brian Carter decisively interrupted Lindsay Brooks, stretched lazily, then his expression darkened as he ordered, “Alright, our conversation ends here. Send me out of this space immediately.”

“Master’s request can be fulfilled.” Lindsay Brooks agreed obediently.

“I can finally return to the real world, finally no more dying over and over again!” Overcome with excitement, Brian Carter didn’t hesitate to give Little Lolly a heartfelt hug.

“Master, if you wish to accelerate the Immortal Program’s self-repair, please strengthen your cultivation of your spiritual sea. When your spiritual sea becomes powerful enough, the Immortal Program can draw a certain amount of energy from it…”

Although Brian Carter really didn’t want to hear any of this, as he was being sent out of the Immortal Program’s space, Lindsay Brooks still dutifully explained everything clearly.

“I have no idea what spiritual sea cultivation even means, and even if I did, I wouldn’t bother with it…”

With this somewhat stubborn thought, Brian Carter finally left the Immortal Program’s space, which he regarded as a nightmare.

Chapter 11: Tail

As the largest, best-staffed, most modernly equipped, and most selective academy in Y City, Augdin Military Academy is also one of the three top universities of the Earth Federation. It’s not an exaggeration to say that at least sixty percent of the current Earth Federation’s military officers are graduates of Augdin Military Academy.

Of course, given Brian Carter’s current age, before he participates in the Ministry of Education’s entrance assessment for new graduates, he has no chance of entering Augdin Academy. However, the intermediate academy he currently attends does have a rather close connection with Augdin Military Academy.

Augdin First Affiliated Academy—located to the east of Augdin Military Academy—is a private school, and is also known as the most expensive intermediate academy in the Federation. It’s important to note that the reason Augdin First Affiliated Academy dares to charge such exorbitant fees, even though it only provides intermediate education for students under eighteen, is entirely due to the immense reputation of “Augdin.”

Of course, the most crucial point is that Augdin First Affiliated Academy has three direct recommendation spots every year, allowing three students to enter Augdin Military Academy without taking the entrance assessment. Furthermore, seventy percent of the teachers at Augdin First Affiliated Academy are retired professors from Augdin Military Academy, which speaks volumes.

In fact, Brian Carter was not happy about attending this expensive private academy at first. For someone who knew his own mediocrity and believed in being content with what he had, Brian Carter never dreamed of getting into a top institution like Augdin Military Academy, which gathers the best students of the Earth Federation. Although Brian Carter had his own dream of becoming a master of ancient martial arts, and the Federation military was undoubtedly the best place to learn advanced ancient martial arts, he always felt that getting into an ordinary advanced military academy would be more than enough.

Similar to the old nine-year compulsory education, primary and intermediate education are basic requirements for every citizen of the Federation. After turning eighteen, one can take the entrance exam for higher education.

At Augdin First Affiliated Academy, Brian Carter’s mediocrity made him almost invisible. Over the years, his classmates’ impression of him was just that he was a decent-looking guy with average talent.

Only William Clark, his close friend, had a deep impression of Brian Carter. After all, their parents were close friends, and the two of them had grown up together, forming a bond that was more than brotherly.

In a corner of the academy, the burly William Clark punched Brian Carter on the arm, then hooked his arm around his shoulder and chuckled, “I think your injury and hospital stay turned out to be a good thing—you’re even stronger than before!”

Today was Brian Carter’s first day back at school after being hospitalized, and seeing his friend put him in a great mood. He put his arm around William Clark’s shoulder in return and said, “Your big brother here is blessed by the heavens. Good people are always protected.”
