Su Ming carefully recalled his hazy memories and finally recognized the group of people in front of him. The leader was none other than Zhang Tai, known as the little tyrant, who was notoriously domineering and arrogant in the academy. Of course, he had the capital to be arrogant.

Zhang Tai’s family was very influential in the Thirteenth District, and it was said that he could even claim some kinship with the district chief.

Zhang Tai frowned at Su Ming. He felt that something was not right. Normally, this damn fatty should have been scared to death and trembling when he saw him with his men.

But now, this guy was sitting there calmly.

However, Zhang Tai didn’t let it go just because of Su Ming’s unusual behavior. He said viciously.

“You brat, you’ve got a lot of guts, huh? You think you can pursue Lin Chuyu? Believe it or not, I’ll break your legs!”

Su Ming acted as if he hadn’t heard anything. He propped his head with one hand, turned his face to look at Zhang Tai, and replied calmly.

“What do you think would happen if I jumped out of this window?”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Tai and his underlings were shocked. They all looked at Su Ming, at a loss.

They had never expected Su Ming to reply like this.

Zhang Tai was at a loss for words. He was about to speak when an underling quickly advised him.

“Big brother, don’t! If he really jumps, we’ll be in deep trouble.”

Of course, Zhang Tai understood what his underling was saying. If Su Ming really went crazy and jumped, they would be in a position where they couldn’t explain themselves, and their future would be ruined.

This was tantamount to betting their future against the other party’s. Although his family was quite influential, this damn fatty’s family was not bad either.

The most crucial point was that if someone else had said this, it might have been just to scare them. But this guy had tried to hang himself before and didn’t want to live. It was possible that he would really jump in a fit of madness.

No matter how arrogant Zhang Tai was, he didn’t dare to bet his bright future on this. So he took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.

“You’re ruthless. Just you wait!”

Su Ming looked lazily at Zhang Tai and didn’t reply.

Zhang Tai turned and left with his underlings in a rage.

Su Ming looked at their retreating backs and sighed helplessly. This was really troublesome.

He put the modern history book aside and picked up a book on advanced information theory to flip through.

Su Ming was catching up while thinking about the City Exam. The difficulty of this exam was really not ordinary. Because it was linked to their future and their lives, everyone was desperately competing.

The basic score had already been pushed to a ridiculous level. As for the mecha subject score, Su Ming was also a little unsure.

...

Late at night, Su Ming closed the last book. He looked around.

There were only a few figures left in the second-floor reading area. Although the library was open 24 hours a day, most people had gone back to rest.

Su Ming took out his phone and checked the time. It was already two in the morning. It was time to go back. So he stood up, picked up his books, and walked toward the stairs.

Thump, thump~

Su Ming walked down the spiral staircase. Just as he was about to reach the first floor, he came face to face with a 178 cm tall, beautiful girl wearing a white lace dress. Her long, waterfall-like black hair fell smoothly on her shoulders. Her eyes were clear and lively, her nose was exquisite and small, and her lips were rosy.

Su Ming’s heart instinctively contracted, and his heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated. For a moment, he was in a trance, and he was stunned. He couldn’t help but murmur in his heart.

“So this is Lin Chuyu? She’s really beautiful.”

At this moment, Su Ming finally understood why that boy had fallen for her. But then, Su Ming was surprised to find that Lin Chuyu’s ears were long and pointed, not like a normal person’s ears.

The next second, Su Ming instinctively realized that Lin Chuyu was a second-generation New Human!

The so-called second-generation New Humans were genetically improved. Compared to normal humans, they had more excellent memory, thinking, physical fitness, and even longer lifespans.

In the interstellar age, the lifespan of ordinary people had evolved to 200-300 years, but the lifespan of second-generation New Humans could reach 300-400 years.

The most important point was that second-generation New Humans would have extremely high talent in a certain aspect according to different genetic improvements.

Of course, this was only second-generation New Humans. It was said that there were even more powerful third-generation New Humans.

As for how New Humans were born, Su Ming only knew that ordinary people had a chance to naturally give birth to second-generation New Humans. In addition, it seemed that artificial intervention was also possible, but he was not sure how to intervene.

In fact, most New Humans were born through active intervention with genetic potions. They were superior to ordinary people from birth.

Of course, it wasn’t that ordinary people couldn’t strengthen themselves later in life. They could also strengthen themselves through exercise and injecting genetic potions.

However, there was one point. The effect of injecting the same level of genetic potions later in life was not as good as that of a born New Human. Therefore, New Humans were very popular.

At this moment, Lin Chuyu also saw Su Ming. She smiled and nodded at him, a polite greeting.

Su Ming immediately came back to his senses and nodded in response.

The two of them passed each other like strangers who knew each other.

...

A long time later, in the dim dormitory corridor, Su Ming walked tiredly toward his dormitory. His stomach rumbled from time to time.

From noon until now, he had only eaten a synthetic chocolate bar. His body was protesting instinctively.

However, Su Ming directly ignored it. His body had so much fat that it wouldn’t be a bad thing to starve for a day or two.

Soon, Su Ming came to the dormitory door. He reached out and grabbed the doorknob. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped.

Su Ming’s eyes flickered. He keenly sensed a strange sound coming from behind the door.

So Su Ming raised his foot and kicked the door hard!

As the dormitory door was kicked open, three cries of “ouch” were heard.

Su Ming walked into the dormitory and looked at the three of them on the ground with some surprise.

“It’s so late. What are you three doing hiding behind the door instead of sleeping?”

Yellow Hair and the others clutched their heads and stood up in pain. They said to Su Ming.

“We were worried about you.”

Hearing their words, Su Ming looked at them with interest and replied.

“Worried about what?”

Hearing Su Ming’s words, the three of them immediately showed an unnatural expression.

Su Ming looked at their expressions and immediately guessed what had happened. It seemed that Zhang Tai had been able to find him in the library because the three of them had sold him out.

However, he was not angry. It was expected.

Yellow Hair and the others asked Su Ming awkwardly.

“Bro, are you okay? We heard that Zhang Tai went to block you?”

“So what if he did? Isn’t that normal?”

Su Ming said as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter, his expression without a trace of fluctuation.

“Normal?”

The three of them were stunned.
