Nicoise's two friends smiled lightly . "Nicoise, that was quick . That girl's quite cute . Even the playboy couldn't do it?"
"She's fine, I guess – a pass . I recall that her family owns a mecha company . That guy at that corner, Wang Zheng, he's a recipient of this time's University Science Contribution Award for Physics . "
Nicoise's two guests were also winners of this time's Contribution Award, respectively the Biology Award and the Interstellar Network Award . It was obvious that they knew each other . They had similar family backgrounds and socialized in the same circle of friends .
"Wang Zheng . . . Oh, that student of Xiao Fei?"
"Haha, and I was wondering why you came back so quickly . You have a contender . "
"Him? Are you humiliating me? We're here because of our own hard work . He depended on his teacher to be here," Nicoise said with contempt .
"Well, that girl is not bad . There's a few days to spare; I'll see if there's a chance to have a good time . "
"You are interested even in that kind of country bumpkin?"
"She's still a rich man's daughter . The quality is there . "
The three of them snickered; their eyes kept shifting to the corner where Wang Zheng was .
Yan Xiaosu lips curled . "Boss, that guy has quite a glib tongue . Why do I feel like he was being sarcastic?"
Wang Zheng laughed . "Who cares? Don't let others spoil your mood . "
Wang Zheng ate one plate of Roasted Pork Neck happily . It was tender, sweet, and not greasy at all .
"Leave two pieces for my girl, An Mei . . . . "
Yan Xiaosu said .
"Go away, I'm not eating . Wang Zheng, don't be courteous with this fat guy . "
Yan Xiaosu was shocked . "Fat . . . Me? How am I fat?"
"You're going to become as round as a ball!"
Yan Xiaosu was so shocked that he rubbed his belly . Life was so good recently that he was getting plump .
It was actually a happy thing to be able to meet someone from the same hometown at such a far place . However, Nicoise seemed to think too highly of himself . Ye Zisu, Wang Zheng, and their friends did not intend to be any friendlier if he was so cold . To be a diplomat at Roland Garros, Nicoise was definitely an elite of the upper-class . It was no wonder that he looked down on everyone, even Ye Zisu .
Despite the unhappy episode, the food here was indeed delicious . The four people were not petty people, so they enjoyed their dinner .
When night arrived, Roland Garros' night life started . In reality, even though it was an administrative planet, the entertainment here was of the highest quality . After all, this was where the high-ranking officers of each country gathered . There was nothing lacking here, and the service provided was the best . All that mattered was one's rank, which determined what one could access .
Xiao Fei arrived back at the villa at the same time as them . She had a smile on her face . The experiment was a success and she had a breakthrough . It was obvious that contacting her friends had a beneficial effect on the communication process with various cooperating parties .
At this moment, the team Ye Zisu brought followed Xiao Fei and reported the situation to her .
"You guys continue talking . We will go upstairs to watch the stars . Just thinking of Roland Garros' night sky is so romantic . "
Yan Xiaosu pulled An Mei upstairs to enjoy a little private time together . Night time was the best time for couples to cuddle . Obviously, they would not want any third party disturbing them .
On the other hand, it was Wang Zheng who was starting to regret inviting them to this trip . These two people should be locked in a cage for a whole vacation to see if they could still be so lovey-dovey after that .
"Oh, right, there's a gathering tomorrow night . It's organized by a few old friends of mine and me . Wang Zheng will have to attend with me . Those attending are authorities in their various fields, and also their students," Xiao Fei said to Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu .
As she said this, she frowned when she looked at Wang Zheng's attire . "Zisu, please bring this rascal to shop for an appropriate attire later . I'll pay for it . "
From Xiao Fei's tone, this gathering would be quite formal . There should be many renowned scientists attending, and the attendees were not limited to the physics world . When a student won the University Science Contribution Award, authorities from various fields would be present to meet them . This gathering was also the pre-event for the Milky Way Nobel Prize that would be presented three months from now .
"Don't worry, leave it to me . " Ye Zisu smiled . Wang Zheng stood helpless at a side . He had absolutely no say in this .
Ye Zisu's excitement in choosing clothes scared Wang Zheng . He was not so devastated even when facing the Zerg Tribe's army . Ye Zisu could not suppress her laughter . "Look at your miserable face . I will choose the clothes . There! There's a resting place opposite . I will contact you via Skylink in a while . "
"Zisu, you really are a lifesaver . "
Wang Zheng quickly escaped . After shopping for such a long time, he felt like his IQ had dropped . Even his whole body felt stiff like a robot .
Other than having a mall café, the whole neighbourhood was filled with the usual facilities . There were also some very unique places that he had never seen before in other places .
Of these establishment designs, there was one named "Coffee" that had an entrance that looked strange and old . It was relatively grand . The shop sign had an explicit notice: Gene score below 90 not allowed .
This sign was like a slap to his face .
Did being at Roland Garros give this shop the right to be so demanding? He was determined to take a look .
Wang Zheng pushed Coffee's door open and saw a screen pop out . There was a string of algorithms . It was a passcode-based entry test .
"Please answer within five minutes . Please enter if your answer is correct . If not, please do leave within three seconds or you will get electrocuted . Thank you for your cooperation . "
Wang Zheng was stunned . My God, such an impressive entrance test! Who was the shop owner?
Moreover, the shop was situated in Roland Garros . Wouldn't there be a wealthy person or powerful officer who wanted to destroy this shop?
Looking at the hustle and bustle of the passer-bys, there seemed to be no intention of anyone wanting to destroy this shop . Perhaps the people here had a high level of tolerance and good restraint .
However, that did not include him .
Gene score was Wang Zheng's sore spot . He wanted to represent all of those with a gene score below 90 and prove that they too were capable . At least at this moment, whether one had a gene score of 28 or 88, they were all in the same boat .
It was just a simple problem based on the basic Five Dimensional Numerical Analysis Theory . It required a little mental calculation . Wang Zheng used only 48 seconds .
He entered the answer and the screen disappeared . When the door opened with a squeak, he heard loud sounds of people arguing .
"Old Mu, if I do not destroy you today, I'll take on your surname!"
"Gail, you already have my surname . Go back and practise again for another 100 years!"
Two silver-haired old men were shouting at each other like a pair of hot-blooded youths . Their hands were also waving in the air… They were playing a game .
This was indeed a special coffee shop . There was no service crew, there were only two old men fighting and more than 10 people watching . None of them were young .
Wang Zheng felt like fainting . Was this place for the elderly to reminisce?
There were strings of formulae on two screens . It was a competition to solve problems . The slower party's avatar would suffer a hit on the head by the faster person's avatar . The older you were, the more childish you would be . They were like children, fighting to win . No elder was giving the other a chance .
Seeing how they were so agitated, Wang Zheng was reminded of the Old Merchant and smiled knowingly .
"Ahhhhhhhhh . " With this scream, the old man called Gail had his avatar beaten till it fell .
Gail raised his head and saw a young man in the crowd "laughing" at him .
"Rascal, you, no need to look anymore . Yeah, you there . How did you come in?"
Gail said fiercely .
Those present also turned back only to find out that there was a young man in the room . They were all surprised .
"Sorry, I went the wrong way . I'll leave now . " Wang Zheng, feeling that the mood was not right, decided not to stay any longer . These people were either of the age of uncles or grandfathers . It was quite pressuring .
"Hold on, where do you think this is? Entering and leaving as you wish!" Gail was obviously looking for a person to take his anger from losing the game .
"Grandpa, are you kidnapping me?" Wang Zheng laughed . This old man looked like Colonel Sanders from Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was angry .
"Grandpa your head! Have you ever seen such a handsome and young Grandpa?" Gail retorted furiously . The crowd erupted into laughter as a result .
That Old Mu laughed until he was breathless . "Haha, young man, you have a good eye . Ignore this old man; he's always a sore loser . Returning to the topic, did you really solve the problem? The question I set today is quite difficult . "
"Old Mu, what did you set?"
"High Level Milaso's Numerical Theory with a time limit of five minutes . Let me see . . . Eh? He solved it in less than one minute . "
At this moment, the whole room fell silent . The group of people looked at Wang Zheng as if he was a monster .
"Yo, looks like he's here to challenge us," Old Mu said . This group of people were like zoo keepers . They made Wang Zheng uncomfortable .
"Ahem, gentlemen, I'm just looking for a cup of coffee . I have something going on, I got to go . "
"Haha, young man, there's coffee here, and it's free of charge . Since you're already here, stay . "
"Rascal, are you thinking of leaving? Too bad . In this place, even if it was Ryan, he could not come and go as he wished!"
Gail said arrogantly, his moustache puffed out, looking very majestic .
Wang Zheng quickly assessed Gail's ability to fight . . . it should be close to zero . . . This should not be a kidnapping .
"To be able to solve the question so quickly shows that you have excellent mathematical and mental calculation ability . How about this: we will play one round . If you win, you can leave . "
Old Mu laughed .
"Let me play . I love to beat young people," Gail said impatiently .
Wang Zheng was speechless . What kind of people were they?
"Young man, this old man is just a little mean with his words . He was addicted to CT recently . Look at him, he is definitely the one getting beaten up . Not only that, people called him a primary school kid every day . Actually, he is an old student . Haha . "
The people surrounding them teased Gail .
Gail, on the other hand, remained calm . He ignored their teasing .
Wang Zheng finally understood . He had met a mischievous old man . Still playing CT at this age? Who else would get beaten?
"I don't really understand this game," Wang Zheng said . Looking at them reminded him of Old Merchant . Even the way they spoke was similar . He treated this as spending some time with the elderly .
"It's very simple . There will be questions appearing non-stop . Whoever solves theirs first, their avatar can hit their opponent's avatar . You win when your opponent's avatar falls . "
Old Mu said .
Wang Zheng nodded his head . Gail was excited . It looked like he really did love this game . Gail had already rolled up his sleeves .
"Young man, you are quite brave, eh? Don't worry, I'm actually very nice; I won't be so harsh on you . "
Wang Zheng laughed and stood at the opposite side . Once the two were in place, the screen appeared in a flash . At the same time, different categories of problems dropped down on the screen .
There were simple mental calculations and also high level deductive questions . It was okay if you were only slow; however, if you miscalculated, you would not only suffer a hit from your opponent's avatar, but also get punished .
The audience was all smiling . This Gail was a bit too much to be bullying a young man . However, to be able to compete with Gail was an honor in itself . He would not play with just anybody .
Initially, Gail intended to give Wang Zheng a chance . One minute later, his face darkened . His hands did not stop and his eyes were focused on the screen . He started playing seriously .
Not long after, the audience was all taken aback .
