Chapter 15

This time, there are over twenty students who have been selected to go to the new star, while more than a dozen will stay in this city and soon return to their hometowns.

With so many people gathered together, it was naturally lively, with no barriers or awkwardness between them.

However, many of the students staying on the old earth still felt quite disappointed. They had all heard some rumors, and already knew that missing out on the new star meant missing a stroke of fate’s favor—something extraordinary seemed to be happening there.

Some had even heard that the extraordinary would soon appear in the future!

In such an era, if any of their classmates were always at the forefront, touching supernatural powers, it was hard to imagine what the future would hold.

“David Miller!”

Those staying on the old earth had complicated feelings as they greeted David Miller; they all sighed a little, surprised that even David Miller hadn’t been selected.

David Miller understood how they felt and went over to chat with them for a long time. When talking about the future, he truly felt sorry for this group of classmates.

They insisted on staying in this city, waiting for the final list to be announced, hoping that perhaps new names would be added at the last moment—this alone showed their state of mind.

At the same time, it also indirectly proved the confidence they had in themselves, as all of them had achieved quite a lot in the old arts.

But unfortunately, this time the selection criteria did not take that into account.

“I heard that the blood samples we gave during our physical exams were taken to the new star, and they did some kind of analysis over there as part of the selection process,” said a male classmate who was staying on the old earth.

David Miller was taken aback; this was the first time he’d heard of it. He had thought it was just as he’d previously analyzed with Brian Carter, and hadn’t expected it to involve such testing.

Brian Carter tried to lighten the mood, saying, “Forget it, let’s not talk about the past. Don’t be discouraged—staying here isn’t so bad. If we can’t touch the extraordinary, then let’s work hard and strive to become tycoons, and in the future, command and control the extraordinary!”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Night fell, and standing on this mountain, they could overlook the city not far away, its lights dazzling and the night view beautiful.

As time went on, many people drank too much and became more and more excited.

Those whose homes were on the old earth but had been selected to go to the new star were the most excited, imagining the future and dreaming of one day becoming extraordinary themselves.

So, most of them got quite drunk, letting themselves go.

But overall, the atmosphere was still good. Whether they were from the new star or born on the old earth and about to go to the new star, they all promised the classmates staying behind that if they had the chance in the future, they would definitely help them.

In the distant city, the streets were brightly lit, like interwoven silver chains, an endless sea of lights merging together in brilliant radiance.

At the same time, the sky was filled with countless stars, their starlight pouring down in a dazzling display.

Some people, tipsy and drunk, couldn’t tell the difference between the starlight above and the city lights below; it was as if the heavens and the human world were connected.

Eventually, someone lost control and started crying off to the side. He hadn’t been selected, and after drinking, his disappointment spilled out and he couldn’t help but shed tears.

David Miller and a few classmates immediately sobered up, quickly taking him to a room to rest and making sure he didn’t drink any more. Thankfully, nothing serious happened.

At this moment, someone approached David Miller, holding a crystal-clear wine glass, gently swirling it and releasing the fragrance of fine wine.

Brian Carter saw this and immediately followed, standing beside David Miller to face the newcomer.

The person had medium-length hair that reached his ears. He wasn’t particularly handsome, but his eyes were especially striking, leaving a deep impression and giving off a strong presence—this was very obvious.

“Henry Grant, don’t start anything,” Brian Carter warned.

If anyone among these classmates had a bad relationship with David Miller, it was this person.

David Miller was usually calm and steady, and got along well with everyone.

Henry Grant was from the new star, and the reason he was at odds with David Miller was mainly because, when they first enrolled, he had pursued Ashley Reed, but David Miller ended up becoming Ashley Reed’s boyfriend.

“What are you thinking? Would I really pick this place to cause trouble?” Henry Grant was a forceful person, and his words to Brian Carter carried a hint of provocation, mainly because he was dissatisfied with Brian Carter’s earlier attitude.

David Miller stopped Brian Carter, raised his glass to Henry Grant, and said, “Let’s drink. We’re all classmates, and we’re about to part ways. There’s nothing we can’t let go of, and besides, there was never really anything to begin with.”

Henry Grant shot a sideways glance at Brian Carter, then clinked glasses with David Miller and downed his drink in one gulp. “Come on, over here. I’ve got a batch of rare delicacies sent from the new star—let me treat you to a private farewell!”

David Miller walked alongside him, and Brian Carter, still uneasy, followed as well, worried something might happen.

“Look, this deep-sea flood dragon fish—you’ve definitely never had it. Even on the new star, it’s considered a rare specialty.”

“And this snow ox, raised on the grasslands at the foot of the new star’s snowy mountains, is full of spiritual energy. The meat is exquisite, and the carefully selected cuts can be made into top-grade sashimi even on the new star, let alone here. You’ve definitely never tasted it—these are specially reserved for some of the old-timers. Try it, it’s especially fresh.”

Henry Grant led David Miller into a room, introducing the food on the table, his body reeking of alcohol.

Brian Carter couldn’t stand him much, mainly because he was too overbearing, always going on about the new star and what others hadn’t experienced, speaking in a brash manner.
