Chapter 143

The lot of them were rather conspicuous when they entered the antique market . Walking around chattering and touching the things being sold, the bunch of them were curious about everything . Though they weren’t too sure about what they’re seeing, most of them believed otherwise and felt that they had sufficient knowledge .

Lu Yi Chen paid particular attention to the small jade pendants . Though he had no idea how to choose or buy, he wanted to get a jade green one for Xuan Mo, it’d suit her fair complexion very well . Honestly even he himself wasn’t too sure why he was so adamant on getting her a jade pendant, in fact, he’s never paid attention to things like these in the past .

Perhaps it’s just because he wanted to give her something .

And so, he’d pick up a jade pendant or two along the way and hold close to her neck . In the beginning, he asked her for opinions . When he realised she had no opinions, he turned to the rest for suggestions . However, none of the youths present knew how to look at jade, much less buy it . Lu Yu Chen knew that asking the sellers won’t help much either . And so, he relied on the various random and possibly incorrect inputs here and there from his friends around him . Despite having toured most of the market, he still had not found a piece that all of them could come to a common consensus to .

Xuan Mo remained as collected as ever as she followed after them, as though all this had nothing to do with her . As they walked, Lu Yu Chen’s annoyance and frustration built up . Just as he was about to suggest that they head back, Xuan Mo received a call from Tang Jun: “Xuan Mo? Are you in school right now?”

“No . ”

“Uhh, is it possible to come back now?”

“What is it . ”

Lu Yu Chen heard her call and turned to look at her .

“I was just updated that your Aerospace Materials major just received a classified and high-clearance mission . Your prof wants to select two students to participate in the research as well, emphasis will also be placed on the selected students for future development as well . The senior student has been selected, we’re still missing a junior student, are you interested?”

“The choice of participants to a classified and high-clearance mission isn’t within the academy’s jurisdiction, much less yours, why are you asking me if I’m interested? And if I’m interested, I can participate?” Xuan Mo walked a few steps away as she spoke in low volumes . “Tang Jun, I can report you for leaking state secrets just with this call . If this has anything to do with anything beyond our shores, you might even be pinned with the crime of treason . What are your intentions . ”

“…” Tang Jun was silent for a long moment . After a sigh, he continued: “Xuan Mo, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, not many will come across something like this, in fact, there are many people out there wishing they had an opportunity like this . Your reaction’s completely different . At least pretend to be excited c’mon . ”

“…I’m hanging up . ” ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 143 is hosted at ZHANLANN . COM ♢

“Hold up hold up hold up, fine I’ll tell you, I’ll say — you’re already inside the list when the mission was assigned . Honestly, none of us could figure out why . I mean, you haven’t even taken the introductory classes to the specialised subjects yet, how is it that you’re in the list . And it’s pretty much impossible to get yourself into the list though connections given the nature of the mission, because you won’t become famous nor will you gain financially . Even the other senior student and myself are only additional add-ons, we’re involved in external responsibilities and in charge of looking after you…”

“What mission is it . ”

“Eh, it’s a research on some sort of materials, I’m assisting the head of computing, as for you…”

“What will I be doing?”

“You’re the second secretary to the prof, your position is very deeply involved in the mission . ”

“I have the right to reject right . ”

“…wait wait wait wait , are you for real! Xuan Mo! Mo Mo, Mo Mo! This, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity?! You, you’re just gonna, are you kidding me!”

Xuan Mo ended the call with a click and met Lu Yu Chen’s concerned gaze . “Mo Mo, you have something urgent on?”

“No, it was a scam call . ” Her phone rang again but Xuan Mo hung up immediately . A moment later, she received a text instead .

“Xuan Mo, I’ve finally come to understand how obstinate you can be, but we can’t be stubborn when it comes to things like these . You are incredibly incredibly lucky to land yourself with such an opportunity in your first year . Don’t let your stubbornness ruin the opportunities presented to you ok?”

After Xuan Mo walked for a while, she replied his text: “Do you think there’s such a thing as a free lunch?”

“Mo Mo, what do you think about this one?” Lu Yu Chen picked up another pendant .

Xuan Mo glanced over, touched it and shook her head: “Bad . ”

“Oh . ” Finally a definite answer . While it wasn’t a very ideal reply, it was still an improvement from her earlier silence .

After walking around for a while more without finding a pendant to buy, the lot of them started discussing where to go for lunch . Just as Xuan Mo said she was alright with whatever the rest wanted, she received another call . It was from Zhao Jing Lei this time . She lingered behind, answering as she slowly tailed after the group at the end .

“Xuan Mo, we need to talk . ”

“You guys are very annoying . ”

“I did up the namelist . No matter what concerns you may have, I need you in this mission, really . ”

“You want me to believe that a freshman who hasn’t started even the introductory courses can attend such a mission? I really don’t understand you guys . What do you want to do exactly?”

“Before you agree, I can’t share anything about the mission . ”

“Then I’m hanging up . ”

“Do you want to travel in outer space?”

“Yes . ” Xuan Mo replied without hesitation .

Zhao Jing Lei paused . He’d said that because he wanted to stir some emotions in her . Honestly, he was expecting Xuan Mo to ask what he was trying to do as she’d done previously . Hence when she replied him otherwise instead, and instantly at that, he immediately became excited, and a little uncertain at the same time .

“Someone said that this research will be able to advance our outer space industry by leaps and bounds . ”
