Chapter 1

"Cerule, 4.5 billion years old, with a radius of 6378.2 kilometers. Seventy-one percent of its surface is covered by water, and the rest is land. It's an aquamarine planet. It rotates in a period of nearly 24 hours and orbits its star, Mystic Sun, with a period of one year. Its moon is Luna, and it revolves around Cerule with a period of 27.32 days … "

After Lina finished playing the short video introducing Cerule, she glanced at the group of children below and noticed a pair of eyes staring at her. She followed the gaze.

The child had short black hair, and the pupils in both of his eyes were also black. His figure was slightly thin and weak compared to his peers. There was some doubt in his eyes, but he was not looking at the three-dimensional projection behind her. Instead, he was looking at her. This made her frown slightly.

Lina had always been confident in her disguise. The introverted and taciturn Star Globe teacher was the least challenging character in her disguise. She curled her lips. If this woman's boyfriend was not a courier for the Federal Government's goods, she would not have to disguise herself as this woman who never let her breasts breathe. Fortunately, she had gotten what she wanted and completed her mission. As long as she finished this lesson, she could leave this low-level civilized planet without leaving any traces.

However, she was a little bothered by the young man's gaze. "Did he notice something?"

Thinking of this, she looked down at the teaching guide screen in front of her. Her finger tapped on the seat number displayed on the table, and the young man's information was quickly revealed.

Name: Gu Ding

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Gene Level: Level 1

Special Ability: Unawakened

Cell Index: 10

Spirit: 9.8

Battle Prowess: B +

Comprehension: A

Special Event: Once publicly expressed his desire to become the man with the highest bounty in the entire Cosmic Sea as a freshman representative at the opening ceremony.

Evaluation: Advantage: Extraordinary comprehension and battle prowess.

Disadvantage: Too strong personality, difficult to discipline.

Lina was a little surprised after reading the young man's information. "Without any special detection ability, it should be impossible for him to discover my disguise. A Level 1 Gene adult's Cell Index is generally only 1. After training, it's not surprising for his Cell Index to reach 10, the limit of a Level 1 Gene Body. However, his mental strength is so high that it's not something that can be easily improved through cultivation … He even publicly expressed his desire to become an Interstellar Pirate in the Federation's military training base. Interesting … "

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she suddenly had the intention to tease him. "Student Gu Ding, can you tell us the current ratio of the natives on Cerule?"

Gu Ding was stunned at first, but he stood up calmly. "The current native population of Cerule is 18.1%, and there are about 340 million of them."

Lina sneaked a glance at the answer on the screen and asked the second question. "Second question. Other than the natives of Planet Aquamarine, how many races have migrated here?"

"There are 117 recorded Immigrant Tribes with a population of about 1.53 billion," Gu Ding answered without hesitation.

Lina looked down at the data and didn't find any errors. She narrowed her eyes slightly and remained silent for a moment before continuing. "Please briefly explain the drastic decrease in Planet Aquamarine's population."

This topic was actually something that happened before the New Era, and it was a dark history. The teaching materials were all taboo and vague. It was obvious that Lina was deliberately making things difficult for Gu Ding.

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows and continued to answer. "In the Federation Era, Year 7842359, which is also Planet Aquamarine's Era, 2112 AD, a meteorite carrying a highly infectious unknown virus fell into the Atlantic Ocean of Planet Aquamarine. The virus began to spread rapidly, causing the death of a large number of living creatures. The corpses were controlled by the virus and actively attacked the living creatures that were still alive. In eight years, the population of seven billion was reduced to 300 million, and the survival rate of other species was less than one in a thousand. In order to preserve the planet's civilization, the Universe Federation Government sent out troops and spent seven months to completely clean up the virus. After rebuilding and incorporating Planet Aquamarine, Planet Aquamarine officially became a member planet of the Federation Government. It was also officially renamed from Earth to Planet Aquamarine … "

The embarrassment on Lina's face disappeared in a flash. Her gaze shifted slightly and landed on the young man's left. It was a young man with blond hair who was lying on his stomach, looking like he was about to fall asleep. She lowered her head slightly and glanced at the name displayed on the teaching guide screen. "Student Gu Ding, you may sit down. Student Reed, please answer … "

The day's lessons ended quickly. Just as Gu Ding was about to get up and leave, Reed called out to him. He lowered his voice and said, "Hey, don't you feel that Teacher Ellie is a little different today?"

"She's a little different. What's wrong?" Gu Ding had obviously noticed something unusual.

"I'm guessing that the woman who just taught us is an impostor." Reed raised his eyebrows.

"An impostor?!" Gu Ding was stunned. He had only sensed a change in Teacher Ellie based on his intuition, but Reed's speculations were usually well-founded.

"There are many flaws in this woman's disguise. First, when she clicked on the teaching guide screen, she used her left hand at first, which means that she's left-handed. Later, she seemed to have realized this and switched to using her right hand. Everyone knows that Teacher Ellie is right-handed. "

"Second, the question she asked you at the end was about the dark history of Star Studies. This kind of history is prohibited by the Federation Government from being recorded in UNESCO documents, and teachers are not allowed to talk about it in public. With Teacher Ellie's old-fashioned personality, she would never touch on this kind of content. "

"These are the two main flaws. There are also some details that she made that are full of loopholes. She doesn't know our names, and she doesn't know the answers to the two questions she asked you to answer. That's why she lowered her head to look at the seat names and the teaching guide. In the half an hour long class, the total time she spent talking was no more than seven minutes. The real Teacher Allie would spend about eighteen minutes explaining the teaching documents. Do you need me to continue? "

"I'll be going first." Gu Ding was busy packing his bag and did not hear Reed's reasoning.

"Don't you want to know where the real Teacher Ellie went? Who is this woman? What's her purpose in pretending to be Teacher Ellie? "Reed seemed to want to continue his reasoning.

"Teacher Ellie should have been killed by someone. The Federation Army should be concerned about where her body is. As for the identity of the woman, that should be the Federation Army's concern. I'm going to work with Auntie Roastbeef. Goodbye, chatterbox! "Gu Ding interrupted Reed's rambling.

"Bastard, I'm not done yet. There's only a ninety-one percent chance that Teacher Ellie was killed. There's still a ninety-nine percent chance of survival! There's more than a sixty percent chance that this woman's identity is … "Reed cursed and continued to talk to himself, showing off his powerful and terrifying reasoning ability.

After leaving the school, Gu Ding rode his hoverbike all the way to the west of the city.

The west of the city was a backward and noisy area. The garbage piled up everywhere gave off a nauseating stench, and the sirens that rang out countless times a day were enough to make one's ears grow calluses. This was the source of evil, and it was also a haven for criminals.

This area was also known as the Red Light District. In the past, the Red Light District referred to the place where there were fireworks. However, the Red Light District here was not. The red light signified an alarm, and the Red Light District signified a place where the sirens rang non-stop every day.

Because of the mix of good and bad, the Red Light District had become a temporary stop for many Interstellar Pirates. Although Cerule was a newly developed planet, the number of Interstellar Pirates passing by increased by the day. Gu Ding grew up in this district. For as long as he could remember, this place had always been a paradise for Interstellar Pirates.

Looking at the signboard of the Rose Tavern not far ahead, Gu Ding slowed down his pace. His eyes inadvertently glanced at an intersection on his left, and he saw a somewhat familiar figure.

"Eh, why is she in the Red Light District?" Gu Ding's heart was slightly puzzled, but the figure disappeared in a flash. After hesitating for a moment, he could not suppress his curiosity and quietly followed her.
