Chapter 44: Invalid Counterattack (Part 3)

"This is what we want to demonstrate, the Curvature Engine." Zhang Ming took a deep breath and slowly spoke these words.

He pressed the switch, and a beam of dazzling light burst forth from the device, causing the atmosphere of the entire plaza to suddenly become tense.

That beam of light tore through the sky, as if it could break through all the shackles of reality.

However, to everyone's surprise, the noble students who were originally watching the demonstration began to leave one after another, their expressions filled with disdain and indifference.

Some muttered under their breath, as if they disdained to watch such a "low-level" performance.

Others hurried away, appearing completely uninterested in such low-tier technology.

But, to everyone's surprise, the grassroots commoner students standing in the distance stopped in their tracks.

Their eyes were filled with surprise and awe as they looked at the flickering Curvature Engine, as if they were witnessing an incredible miracle.

"What is this…?" a student who looked quite young asked quietly.

"This is their technology, the Curvature Engine!" another student answered excitedly.

"You all saw it too, right? It's actually the technology we've always longed for. To think it's right here…"

"Yeah, this is technology that can change the landscape of the entire Galactic Federation!"

In the eyes of Zhang Ming and Zhang Tie, all these changes became the results they had expected.

The departure of the noble students made Zhang Ming and Zhang Tie somewhat disappointed, but the attention from the commoner students gave them a glimmer of hope.

This group, which had once been ignored, was witnessing the future they had created with their own hands.

"This is what we wanted to do," Zhang Ming said in a low voice, "give those who truly understand technology a chance."

Lin Fan stood to the side, smiling slightly; seeing this scene, a profound light flashed in his eyes.

The bottom layer of this society finally began to have its own voice, and they would become the force for this transformation.

"Now, begin." Lin Fan waved his hand lightly, and Zhang Ming and Zhang Tie simultaneously started their demonstration.

The radiance of the Curvature Engine grew increasingly brilliant, and the energy fluctuations that shocked the entire venue began to spread, quickening the heartbeat of every person present.

Jiang Xingyu was wearing a sexy academy uniform, her skirt swaying slightly, revealing her long, slender legs, as she walked lightly behind Lin Fan, her gaze carrying a hint of profound warning:

"Lin Fan, doing this is very dangerous, do you know that?"

Lin Fan feigned an expression of confusion, turned to look at her, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered:

"This is my friend's research result; what's the problem with demonstrating it?"

Jiang Xingyu looked down at the folder in her hand, then slowly raised her head, a flash of complex emotions crossing her eyes.

"Are you sure this won't attract their attention? You know the forces behind Ningguta."

Lin Fan's heart stirred, but his gaze remained relaxed and at ease: "That is the effect I want."

Yin Miaoxue stood to the side, her eyes constantly following Jiang Xingyu's figure.

Her academy uniform accentuated her slender figure, and the fair, jade-like legs exposed beneath the short skirt perfectly displayed her beautiful curves.

Yin Miaoxue frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased, yet unable to ignore the aura emanating from Jiang Xingyu.

"Who is this person?" Yin Miaoxue asked quietly, her tone carrying a bit of curiosity and a hint of guardedness.

Lin Fan turned around easily and answered without any avoidance:

"She is Jiang Xingyu, one of the academy's top students. Although she doesn't really like to be in the spotlight, her identity is actually very special. We have some history together."

Jiang Xingyu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Yin Miaoxue, and a flash of shock crossed her eyes.

She had never seen such a stunning woman.

Yin Miaoxue was wearing a JK uniform dominated by white and icy blue, resembling an elf from the ice and snow, standing independent of the mortal world.

The uniform's design was simple yet elegant; the delicate white and light blue intertwined, outlining her perfect curves, possessing both the freshness of a young girl and a cold, noble grace.

The thin fabric swayed gently in the wind, and her snow-white, delicate legs were vaguely visible.

Her beauty was not inferior to Jiang Xingyu's at all, and perhaps even surpassed her.

Jiang Xingyu was somewhat puzzled, "What exactly is your identity? How could such beautiful women be following you?"

"He is our Young Master. We have been following him since my grandmother's time; is there a problem?"

As soon as the voice fell, Hu Xinlan and Princess Jin Xuan walked out one after another. The two women's beauty, like that of a Fairy, caused Jiang Xingyu to freeze instantly, and she even lost the courage to stand there and speak.

She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Grandmother?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xingyu could only lower her head again, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Her intuition told her that Lin Fan's identity was far more complex and profound than she had imagined.

Jiang Xingyu lowered her head, a complex emotion surging in her heart.

She had never thought that she would encounter such an unfathomable force here.

And Lin Fan, that deskmate who had always been elusive to her, seemed far more mysterious than she had imagined.

Her gaze involuntarily swept over Yin Miaoxue again; her cold, noble aura seemed not to belong to this world.

Looking at Hu Xinlan and Princess Jin Xuan, their beauty was like that of a Fairy stepping out of a dream.

Jiang Xingyu suddenly realized that the power hidden behind these people far exceeded her imagination.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ming and Zhang Tie were fully controlling the Curvature Engine, which was radiating light, making the atmosphere even more tense.

The surrounding commoner students had long been attracted by this demonstration; many stopped in their tracks, watching the light bursting forth from the engine with focus, their eyes filled with longing and reverence.

Jiang Xingyu frowned, her tone low and carrying a warning:

"Lin Fan, I admit your background surprises me, but I still want to remind you to have your friends stop. You know, today's demonstration might attract unnecessary attention."

She paused, her gaze sinking slightly, and continued: "I don't want to have just become your deskmate, only to have you locked in a laboratory tomorrow, becoming a guinea pig for research."

After speaking, she turned and walked towards the academy.

Her perky, jade-like buttocks were outlined in perfect curves under her tight academy uniform, and every step appeared exceptionally alluring.

Lin Fan stood in place, watching Jiang Xingyu's back gradually fade into the distance, and a thought suddenly arose in his heart.

He was slightly stunned, then quickly made a decision.

"What exactly does she know?"

Thus, he leaped lightly and followed closely behind her, silently trailing her.

Jiang Xingyu's pace remained elegant and composed, without the slightest realization of the movement behind her.

Lin Fan kept a certain distance, carefully avoiding detection.

He needed to figure out why Jiang Xingyu was so worried about him, and what inside information she knew that could make her warn him like that.

He did not walk hurriedly; his footsteps were light, almost soundless.

The curiosity and doubt in his heart drove him to keep approaching.

After walking for a while, Lin Fan finally decided to quicken his pace, get closer to her, and prepare to start a conversation with her at any moment.

However, Jiang Xingyu seemed to sense the movement behind her, suddenly stopped, and turned her head slightly.

At that moment, her gaze met Lin Fan's in the air, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness and vigilance.

"You followed me?" Her tone was cold and laced with a hint of mockery, "I knew you wouldn't give up so easily."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, his gaze profound: "I have some questions, and I want to ask you what exactly you know."
