Inheritors of Ancient Civilization

Chapter 2: Preparing for College

Rodin might have been lucky to be saved by Chen Xiaofeng along with Jaina! Chen Xiaofeng is indeed a kind-hearted person. A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and seeing that Rodin and Jaina seemed like children who knew nothing, she kindly decided to keep them at her place.

During this month, Rodin and Jaina also learned a great deal of knowledge about the world, encountering many novel things. Thanks to their exceptionally developed minds as mages, both of them learned at an astonishing rate. By the end of the month, Rodin's level of knowledge had even reached that of a university student, while Jaina also acquired a lot of knowledge during this time, including how to cook. Chen Xiaofeng has a warm little family; her husband is an officer in the Jianou Public Security Bureau, and her six-year-old son, Xiaoqiang, is in the first grade.

"Rodin, have you ever thought about going to school?" Chen Xiaofeng's husband Liu Biji suddenly remembered during their meal. This young man was so smart; it would be a real pity if he didn't go to school. In the month or so since Rodin arrived, although she hadn't spent much time with him, she had always treated him like her own child.

"Oh... Uncle Liu is saying that I can go to school? But I don't even have an ID card!" Luo Ding did have the idea of going to school. He wanted to know more about the world, but he didn't belong to it at all, and he didn't even have an ID card!

"Hehe, don't forget where Uncle works. Getting an ID card isn't that hard! With Rodin's current abilities, I think going to college shouldn' t be a problem! He's practically a genius! By the way, I have an old classmate who is a professor at Xiamen University. It's almost time for the new semester, so I think he can help get you into Xiamen University without any issues. Just don't let us down, Rodin!" Liu Biqi was actually planning his own scheme. He had seen many people, but he had never met anyone as smart as Rodin. Although he was a bit skeptical about Rodin's background, as a police officer, he could tell at first glance that this young man wasn't a bad guy; there was no trace of evil in his eyes.

"Um, I won't let my uncle and aunt down! But what about Jaina when I'm gone?" As Jaina's boyfriend, although it was fake, Rodin and Jaina still managed to maintain their cover well. They didn't want people to suspect too much, because in this family's eyes, there were already too many questions about them. First, their origins were unclear, and then there was their intelligence, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, leaving them even more astonished!

Jaina has learned a lot in the past month or so. If you don't want to part ways, Rodin, take Jaina with you and have her find a suitable job in Xiamen. That way, you can be together! Haha, seeing you two so sweet reminds me of when I was young with Old Liu. Unfortunately, after marriage, everything changed; we were so focused on work that we never thought about having a home. Men really aren't good at anything; it's like the saying goes, "Thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on the other!" Jaina, watch out for this guy. Once you're in Xiamen, the world outside is full of excitement. Be careful he doesn't do anything bad behind your back! Chen Xiaofeng said, glancing at Liu Biji. Liu Biji was momentarily speechless, knowing well that his wife was scolding him. Indeed, after marriage, he no longer loved her as much! Spending your whole life with one woman can lead to aesthetic fatigue!

Jaina thought to herself, I don't care what that stinking mage does outside. After all, I'm not his real girlfriend. Once we're out, I'll never sleep in the same room with this person again. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Her smug expression couldn't be hidden and was immediately noticed by Chen Xiaofeng.

"Oh, Nana, what are you thinking so happily?" Chen Xiaofeng said with a wicked smile.

"Um... no, I didn't pull it. I just wanted to finally go back to work, so I don't have to rely on Auntie for food and drink every day. Auntie, I really appreciate your care over the past month. We'll come visit you, Uncle, and Xiaoqiang often when we have time!" Everyone knows how to be grateful. Without the Chen Xiaofeng family's care, who knows what chaos we would have caused in this unfamiliar world with Luo Ding.

Three days later, Rodin and Jaina boarded the train to Xiamen. Chen Xiaofeng sent them all the way to the station. Although the month was not long, their direct feelings were quite deep, especially Jaina and Chen Xiaofeng. Women and women are always easy to get along with.

In Rodin's eyes, although the human race on Earth is not powerful enough, he greatly admires their wisdom and technology. Though they do not possess the physical strength of the orcs from Li Mars, they can use tools to make themselves strong. Although they lack the mental power of magicians from Li Mars, they can create spaceships and use tools to travel to other planets without stargates. These technologies cannot help but make Rodin admire them. Most importantly, Rodin came into contact with human beliefs and found that the Christian faith is very similar to the faith of the Holy Light on Li Mars. However, human priests cannot summon the Holy Light to heal people's wounds; they can only pray, praying for the arrival of a god who does not exist, to save them and redeem their souls. Yet, the gods never come, and even the devout believers are not saved by the gods! Perhaps this is a form of spiritual solace for humans!

With a sharp whistle, the train began to speed away from the platform. Looking at the sea of people in the carriage, Rodin shook his head helplessly. There were not a few more people on this planet...

"Hey, Rodin, how about it? You're going to college soon. Are you happy?" Jaina leaned on Rodin's shoulder with a weak voice. The crowd had already made her tired when she got on the bus, and the mage was already weak!

"Well, of course I am happy. I have to thank Uncle Liu. If it wasn't for him giving us money, how could we have had a chance to come out?"

"Hmph, I'll be the first to say that once you get to college and live on campus, you need to plan for me. I have to rent a place, and I only have so much money. You can't just spend it recklessly!" Jaina was shrewd and had already started thinking about how to spend her money. Here, unlike in Azeroth where she was the top mage of the Alliance, admired by thousands wherever she went, without money, she would be nothing!

"Um, once I settle down in Xiamen, I'll find you a place to stay right away. But you need to start looking for work quickly, or we'll run out of money soon!" Luo Ding wasn't a fool. Once Jiana found a job, she would be his future financial support. He had to go to school and couldn't afford to earn money!

Jaina knew all about Rodin's schemes. She hit him hard on his vulnerable abdomen with a claw, making him cry out for help.

The journey was very boring. It took more than ten hours to travel from Jianou to Xiamen by train. The two soon lost their initial curiosity. Jaina fell asleep quietly in Rodin's arms. Rodin himself fell asleep.
