Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 4 City Test

At this time, Zhao Ning saw Su Ming put down his chopsticks and looked listless, so he asked with concern.

"My dear son, are you still upset about that incident? Listen to mom, don't worry, your father has already dealt with it, and he will definitely find the person who bullied you and send him to jail! As for school, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll change you to another school."

When Su Ming heard what Zhao Ning said, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

For some reason, he felt as if he had been given the script of a cannon fodder villain.

So Su Ming said to Zhao Ning.

"It's okay, mother. You don't have to change schools. Besides, the city exam is about to begin. If you change schools at this time, it will easily cause problems."

"My dear son, it's okay. It doesn't matter whether the city exam goes well or not."

Zhao Ning was still a little worried about Su Ming, fearing that he would be overburdened psychologically if he returned to school. After all, she knew very well that her son was an introvert, and his mental endurance was very fragile and sensitive.

"Haven't you always wanted to go back to the City of Starlight? Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to pass the exam and get back."

Su Ming said very seriously.

The so-called city exam is a very important entrance exam for the old federation. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. It is also an important way for people from the lower districts and residents of other planets to enter the three main cities.

As for Su Ming, his family actually moved from Starlight City. Their Su family is also a prestigious chaebol in Starlight City. His father, Su Yuan, is the ninth son of the current head of the Su family, Su Zhentian. Because of his mediocre talent, he was assigned to live in District 13.

The industry that Su Yuan was assigned to was the shares of the garbage disposal plant in District 13. In the context of the interstellar era, being assigned to such an industry actually clearly showed how poor Su Yuan's talent and status were.

But this industry is indeed very profitable, so they can live here just fine.

But given a choice, who would want to live underground their whole life?

Of course, it doesn't mean that Su Ming and his family can't return to Starlight City, but they can't go back in a glorious and legitimate way. After all, being assigned to District 13 was a disguised form of exile.

If you don't have a legitimate reason to go back, you will definitely be met with all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule.

However, if Su Ming achieved excellent results in the city exam and went to Starlight City for further study, then Su Yuan and Zhao Ning would have a reason to return in glory, and the old man and his family would not have any objections, but would be very pleased, after all, it meant that another talent was born in the family.

After hearing Su Ming's words, Zhao Ning was deeply moved, but she knew her son's abilities better than anyone else.

Just when Zhao Ning was thinking about how to tactfully dissuade Su Ming from his lofty ambitions so as to avoid a blow later, an excited voice was heard!

"Well said, you are worthy of being my son!"

Su Ming turned his head and saw Su Yuan walking over with a big smile on his face. He was very pleased to hear his beloved son's lofty ambitions as soon as he came back.

At this time, Zhao Ning glared at Su Yuan angrily, and the smile on Su Yuan's face suddenly froze.

Zhao Ning then walked up to Su Yuan and complained in a low voice.

"Why are you making such a fuss? You don't know your son's level. What will you do if he gets hurt again?"

"Well, my son actually did well in the city exam, so it doesn't matter if he does well or not. If he doesn't do well, it wouldn't be bad for him to come back and inherit the family business."

Su Yuan changed his words awkwardly.

When Su Ming heard Su Yuan's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. At this time, Zhao Ning quickly changed the subject and asked Su Yuan.

"How is the situation being handled? Has the person been caught?"

When Su Yuan heard this, he also had a headache, and he replied helplessly.

"No, we asked the person involved, and he knew nothing about it. When it happened, she was in special training with the teacher, and she only found out about it after it happened. The person who bullied our precious son is an information expert. He cleverly took a photo of the letter and uploaded it to the campus network, and sent it to all the students at the same time, without leaving too many traces. You also know that there are very few people who are proficient in information nowadays, but it doesn't matter. The old man already knows about this matter and has specially sent an information expert down, and he will be able to catch the guy when the time comes."

Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but think about it carefully. In his memory, the love letter that this body wrote was written during lunch break when no one was around, so he ran to the girl's class, sneaked in and stuffed the letter into the girl's desk.

Logically, no one should know about this. How did someone frame him?

"I don't know how to adjust the surveillance."

Zhao Ning said angrily.

"There are only a few key areas with closed-circuit surveillance, and they didn't capture anything. You know it's not necessary to have surveillance."

Su Yuan explained helplessly.

In fact, the technology tree of this world is a bit crooked. Of course, the reason for this is that an epic war broke out between the Old Federation and the mechanical race composed of silicon-based life forms a hundred years ago.

At that time, the Old Federation's fleet communications, scanning equipment, and information command platforms were all invaded and tampered with silently, causing a large number of weapons to be paralyzed and counter-controlled.

In the end, the Old Federation's fleet suffered devastating damage and was almost unable to recover.

After the war analysis, people found that the mechanical race could easily capture signal sources, invade information databases, and collect and tamper with various information.

Since then, the old federation has restricted the use of information equipment, using local area networks and closed-circuit lines as much as possible.

Currently, communications within the three major cities and sixteen districts on the third planet are all completed through closed-circuit lines, and the signals are only for civilian use in local areas. Monitoring equipment and the like are used as little as possible.

Because once we go into battle with the mechanical clan, these may become the enemy's eyes.

"Father, Mother. I plan to go back to school tomorrow."

Su Ming thought for a while and then said to Su Yuan and the others.

As for the investigation, he didn't hold out much hope. You have to know that the person who bullied him must be a student. Being a student but an information expert, it means that the other party is very outstanding and definitely not an ordinary person.

Even if such a person is caught, there is no way to charge him with a serious crime. After all, his behavior is nothing more than a crime of leaking privacy, or a prank at the very least.

Moreover, such an outstanding person can't stand scrutiny at all, and it's easy to guess who it is. Since my father couldn't find out after investigating for a long time, I will explain everything implicitly, so I have to deal with this matter by myself.

As for why he didn't change schools but was anxious to go back to school, the reason was very simple. There was not much time left before the city exam, and there was no time to waste.

"Son, you want to go back to school? Is that okay?"

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked worriedly.
