Jinniu University, covering hundreds of square kilometers, occupies the southeast corner of the top floor of Jinyuan City alone.
This university brings together the top elites and talents from the twelve star regions. In addition to teaching and educating people, the university also has many top laboratories and high-tech companies.
This commercial area occupies almost half of the campus.
"The commercial district is very prosperous, with various high-end residences and consumer places, and it is also quite famous in Jinyuan. However, the commercial district also has a high threshold, and ordinary people can't enter..."
Xiao Wan took Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang on the campus express train while briefly introducing the situation of Jinniu University.
This is different from the scenery. Gao Xuan and the others will live here in the future, so she still needs to give a brief introduction.
"I like it. I want to buy a big house here."
Gao Xuan didn't want to live in the dormitory, not only because the conditions were poor, but also because privacy could not be guaranteed.
"You are not eligible to buy a house here yet. Even though you have money."
Xiao Wan said coldly: "You have to study for at least two years and get enough school points before you can buy a house."
“It takes so long.”
Gao Xuan sighed, "I am a billionaire. Do I have to live in a student dormitory? This is totally incompatible with my status."
"As long as you join the Kendo Association, you will naturally gain local recognition. You will be eligible to buy a house here."
Xiao Wan said: "Now, you and Yun Qingshang can only stay in a hotel first."
Jinniu University is of a very high level, and the president is at the same level as the governor of Jinyuan City.
Although Xiao Wan is very powerful, she still has to obey the arrangements of the school at Jinniu University.
Gao Xuan and Yun Qingchang have to wait for notification from the other party for their assessments.
Before this, the two could only be considered tourists and could only stay in hotels.
Xiao Wan sent Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang to a high-end hotel, but she didn't go upstairs and just left.
Fortunately, Xiao Wan had booked a room and paid for a week's stay.
Gao Xuan stood in front of the French window and said to himself in the direction Xiao Wan left: "Come on, I'm waiting for you to lead the way."
Xiao Wan naturally couldn't hear what Gao Xuan said. She took public transportation to leave the campus and went straight home.
The area where the Xiao family is located is a military control area. No one can enter without a military identity. Even a dog here has an identity certified by the military.
Outside the huge military control area is the defense force of Jinyuan City. There are a total of 100,000 people. These 100,000 people are responsible for riot control.
The main task is to guard the military control area. Unless there is a special situation, they will hardly be dispatched.
Xiao Wan's home is in the center of the military control area, which is full of high-end villas.
The Xiao family has a huge manor, which consists of dozens of independent villas.
The head of the Xiao family lived here, as did some of the Xiao family's underage direct descendants.
Xiao Wan's father, Xiao Cheng, worked in the security forces. His position was not high, but his status was very important. Because of his position, he also lived here.
Xiao Wan is not yet eligible to own an independent house here and can only live with her parents.
"Dad, I'm back."
Xiao Wan knocked on the door gently, and after a while, Xiao Cheng's low voice came from inside: "Come in."
After getting Xiao Cheng's permission, Xiao Wan carefully pushed the door and entered the study.
Xiao Cheng stood in front of the desk, practicing calligraphy with a brush. This was Xiao Cheng's only hobby.
Influenced by Xiao Cheng, Xiao Wan's brush calligraphy is very good.
"Dad, Gao Xuan has great potential, I want to help him."
Xiao Wan knew Xiao Cheng's character, so she didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly.
"oh."
Xiao Cheng is thin and handsome, and has a scholarly air due to years of practicing calligraphy. He looks quite elegant.
"Dad, Gao Xuan is good at mental attacks. I want to lend him two rare items to help him cope with the assessment." Xiao Wan said again.
Xiao Cheng didn't say anything this time. He held his breath and wrote the last word, then admired it for a while. Then he rinsed the brush in the brush washer and hung it on the pen holder.
His movements were gentle, neither hurried nor slow, with a sense of peace and leisure.
Xiao Wan watched from the side, she felt a little anxious but didn't dare to say anything.
After Xiao Cheng dealt with all this, he slowly said to Xiao Wan, "Spiritual items are very expensive and will cost you a lot of family points. Also, you can't return them once you get them."
"I believe in Gao Xuan's potential. He is worth investing in."
Xiao Wan had already thought it through and she didn't hesitate at all.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the old man tonight."
Xiao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "If you don't have enough points, I'll lend them to you first."
Xiao Wan was a little surprised, but then she was overjoyed, "Thank you, Dad."
"I'm proud of you for being able to become a swordsman at your age."
Xiao Cheng said: "You have grown up and have your own judgment. You need to organize your own strength. This is necessary.
"Whether it's the family, the army, or the society, if you don't advance, you'll regress. The so-called self-indifference is either a failure or a person who has the qualifications not to fight. We are just mortals, how can we have the qualifications not to fight."
Xiao Cheng sighed softly: "If you take a step back, you might lose, you might die. You are young, so you should strive to be the first."
Xiao Wan bowed deeply: "Dad, I know what to do."
She turned and raised her eyebrows again: "I will definitely achieve something."
Xiao Cheng smiled with relief: "Our family is counting on you for success this generation."
Xiao Wan returned to her room and logged into the Kendo Association.
The Kendo Association has a virtual hall on Skynet with the highest security level.
After all, the members are spread across the twelve star regions, and the distance between them is far. Online communication is the most convenient way to communicate.
After Xiao Wan landed at the guild hall, she entered the guild hall's archive room.
All the files were imitating ancient folder formats and filled huge cabinets.
It contains all the written files, various records, etc. accumulated by the Xiao family over thousands of years.
Each folder has a unique password and is completely bound to the room. The data format cannot be changed, copied, or transferred.
Xiao Wan was sitting at the desk when an old man with glasses and white hair came over. He greeted Xiao Wan respectfully, "Ma'am, how can I help you?"
"I want to look at the catalog of curiosities in my home."
Xiao Wan said this and showed an electronic authorization letter, which was the authorization given to her by Xiao Cheng.
Her father was a ninth-level member of the association, so he had this authority. With her status, she was not qualified to consult the catalog of rare items.
There was a faint light flickering on the white-haired old man's glasses. After verifying the authorization letter, he contacted Xiao Cheng again and obtained Xiao Cheng's consent. Only then did he find a document for Xiao Wan.
There are dozens of huge wooden cabinets in the archives room, which contain millions of documents. Only through the smart housekeeper can the corresponding documents be found. This is also the safety measure of the Xiao family.
Xiao Wan took the folder, verified her identity twice, and entered the randomly generated quantum key before opening the folder.
A curtain of light opened in front of Xiao Wan, revealing strange objects one after another.
As long as she clicks on the rare object, the image of the rare object will enlarge and rotate, and there will be a detailed text introduction.
As a family with thousands of years of history, the Xiao family has accumulated thousands of rare items in their home.
From the lowest black iron to the highest gold, there are many types of strange items.
Xiao Wan took a look at the golden treasures. The points required to exchange for these treasures were very high. Her father might not be able to afford them. So she should forget about it.
Moreover, the rare item is loaned to Gao Xuan, so its level cannot be too high.
Xiao Wan searched and found several spiritual-related rare items. She memorized the information about these rare items, then returned the folder and left the archive room.
When Xiao Wan left the guild hall, she ran into Xiao Hanshan.
"Xiao Wan."
Xiao Hanshan stopped Xiao Wan with a sinister look in his eyes.
His face was pale with a hint of blue, he wore a long gown, was thin, his voice was sharp, and he looked malicious.
"What's your business?"
Xiao Wan looked impatient, she didn't care about Xiao Hanshan.
The other party was just a collateral branch, and he was only at level 11 when he was in his seventies or eighties. Although he was called a silver swordsman, he was not considered a big shot in the Xiao Family Sword Association.
If it weren’t for Gao Xuan’s matter, Xiao Wan wouldn’t even bother to talk to the other party.
Xiao Hanshan said with a cold face: "Xiao Wan, Gao Xuan is an outsider who openly disobeyed my orders. Such a person is not qualified to join the Kendo Association!"
Xiao Wan said disdainfully: "It's not your turn to speak on this matter. I can let whoever I want come."
"good."
Xiao Hanshan sneered: "I want to see how a corpse can join the Kendo Association."
"By you?"
Xiao Wan also sneered: "Take my advice, don't go on stage."
Xiao Hanshan had a cold face and said nothing. He was a generation older than Xiao Wan and could be considered Xiao Wan's cousin.
But in a big family like the Xiao family, the relationship between the two sides is not close.
The conflicts between the direct line and the collateral line are even more serious.
Xiao Wan was an outstanding figure of the direct lineage, but the collateral lineage had no good feelings towards her. Xiao Wan was also arrogant and did not look at the collateral lineage in the eye. The conflict between the two sides deepened.
This time, Gao Xuan's incident only triggered the hidden contradiction between the two sides.
Xiao Hanshan stared coldly at Xiao Wan's back until she disappeared, then he said to Xiao Changsheng beside him: "Changsheng, you saw it too, she didn't even look at you straight in the eye."
"Uncle Shan, I will fully support you. I will arrange to put you on the assessment list. Just do it, and I will be responsible for any consequences."
Xiao Changsheng was tall, and although he was not very handsome, he had tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, and he looked extraordinary. His voice was not loud, but it had a sense of power, which made people naturally believe him.
Xiao Changsheng is more than ten years older than Xiao Wan, and they are of the same generation. He is also the leader of this generation of the collateral branch.
Even an elder from the side branch like Xiao Hanshan would implicitly regard him as the leader.
Xiao Changsheng and Xiao Wan are both outstanding people of this generation, so there is naturally a great conflict of interest between the two sides. If he wants to get to the top, he has to step on Xiao Wan. There is no other way.
"That's great." Xiao Hanshan was overjoyed. As an eleventh-level silver swordsman, it was easier for him to kill a seventh or eighth-level swordsman than to crush a small insect.
Xiao Changsheng smiled and said, "I know she is going to arrange for Gao Xuan to go to Jinniu University, and I have prepared a little surprise for her. Dong Kuohai will come out to assess her. Poor girl, I heard she is pretty, tut tut..."
