I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 100: Medal of Honor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the yellowed book in his hand, Feng Qi was speechless.

He felt that he had completely misunderstood the monk. He was just reading Buddhist scriptures. It was his thoughts that had gone wry.

He had the preconceived notion that “Temptations” referred to tempting content to the average man.

However, the actual content was about suppressing temptations.

As Feng Qi sighed in his heart, he continued to flip through a few more pages. Then, his expression froze again.

Looking at the female police officers, nurses, teachers, and all kinds of female illustrations in the book, he felt that his intelligence had been insulted.

His emotions were in turmoil at this moment, and his good impression of the monk disintegrated again.

He was actually reading this in the sacred library of the academy.

Realizing that Feng Qi was standing rooted to the ground, Lin Ran came to his side.

When he saw the skimpy illustrations on the book, he could not help but laugh out loud. Then, he realized that there were still many students studying in the reading room. He hurriedly stopped himself, but he could not suppress the smile on his face.

“Brother Qi, I like this monk’s personality very much. It will definitely be very interesting to have him in our class in the future.”

As the veins on his forehead throbbed, Feng Qi wore a helpless expression.

Since the first time they met, he realized that the monk seemed to have been restrained for too long. After coming to Star City Academy, he was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. He could no longer control his desires.

With such a personality, he would not be able to focus on studying at all. He would probably be the last in class.

Old Wang had said that he could not give up on any student, regardless of whether he was talented or not.

However, he did not expect to encounter a problematic student of the monk as soon as he became a teacher.

At this moment, the monk’s figure walked over from not far away.

Seeing that Feng Qi was holding his <Temptations>, the monk could not help but be stunned. Then, he realized that he seemed to have discovered something.

During this period of time, Feng Qi often went to the special training field, so the monk already knew that Feng Qi was the teacher of Combat Class Three.

He was a little embarrassed to be caught by his teacher.

However, he still braced himself and walked in front of Feng Qi. He pretended to be calm and said,

“Teacher Feng, Lin Ran, what a coincidence.”

“Monk, mind explaining what this is?” Lin Ran smiled and pointed at the yellowed book.

Upon hearing this, the monk’s expression remained calm.

“Oh, this is a Buddhist scripture to sharpen one’s mind.”

“What about this?” Feng Qi pointed at the illustrations in the book.

“Master said that the way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. The way to overcome temptation is to face temptation head-on. Therefore, I’m looking at these illustrations in order to suppress my temptations.”

“Hahaha, you’re really something!” Lin Ran gave him a thumbs up.

Feng Qi also became slightly helpless hearing this preposterous reasoning.

However, this was the monk’s private life after all, so he could not say anything. It was completely understandable for young people to be hot-blooded. He was only puzzled as to why the monk wanted to read this in the library.

At this thought, he immediately said,

“Monk, don’t read this in the library next time. It won’t be good if others see it.”

As he spoke, he handed the book back to him.

“It’s a small matter if you lose face, but it’s a big deal to embarrass Combat Class Three,” Lin Ran added with a smile.

The monk, who had reached out to take the book, scratched his head.

“It’s the special training period now. Freshmen are not allowed to stay in the dormitory. The instructors will run inspections from time to time, so I can only come to the library to read.”

“Alright, continue to suppress your temptation, but restrain yourself after the classes officially start.”

“No problem, Teacher Feng.” The monk scratched his head and agreed.

Returning to their seats, Feng Qi and Lin Ran smiled at the monk, who continued to suppress his temptations with a solemn look.

“Brother Qi, this monk was simply suppressed too hard previously. Now, he’s completely unrestrained. If you really feel that you can’t control him, you can use your ultimate move as a teacher.”

“What ultimate move?”

“Meet the parents, that is, his master.”

“Invite his master to accompany him in suppressing temptations together?” A wicked smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.

“Hahaha, you’re too mean.”

After the interlude, Feng Qi and Lin Ran opened the book and began to study.

The world outside the window was gradually enveloped by night. The street lamps in the academy were all lit up.

The world outside the library was slightly noisy, but in the quiet reading room, there was only the sound of books flipping and writing under the soft light. The learning atmosphere was strong.

Studying for the rise of mankind was definitely not an empty promise.

Someone had once proposed to vigorously develop aerospace technology. The way out for humans was in the starry universe. Only there could they find a chance of survival for humans.

The people who proposed this idea felt that humans should flee the new world that was increasingly covered by domain fields and find new habitats.

Some people agreed with this idea. Although they knew that only a portion of mankind could leave, they felt that this might be the only way to preserve the human lineage.

As elites, they had priority to escape.

However, more people objected at that time. Someone at the meeting said:

“You think that human civilization is not strong enough in the face of a domain invasion, but you can make it stronger through learning. There’s an old saying in the Xia Country: Study for the rise of Great Xia. In the future, this saying can also be changed to study for the rise of mankind.”

From then on, studying for the rise of mankind became the goal that generations fought tirelessly for.

The bad in human nature could not hide the brilliance in it.

The ancestors who came forward were like a light in the darkness, illuminating the path for humanity.

They felt that while there was a thousand things wrong with this broken world, it was still their home.

Therefore, when facing a challenge, one should not avoid it. Making oneself stronger was the best way to deal with it.

In their studies, Feng Qi and Lin Ran lost track of time.

During this period, people left the reading room from time to time, and figures came.

After Feng Qi finished reading the < Basics of Cultivation Techniques Research 6> in his hand, looked up at the clock hanging on the north wall of the reading room and realized that it was almost midnight.

When he turned around, the monk had long disappeared, but nearly half of the reading room was still occupied by students who were studying hard.

“Brother Qi, are you leaving now?” Lin Ran put down his book and asked.

“Mm, I’m going to head back first. What about you?”

“Let’s go together. I’m about done too.”

After returning the borrowed books to their original positions, the two of them walked out of the library.

The night wind clamored, and the hot air was swept away. At this moment, the temperature was perfect and very comfortable.

On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Ran seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said,

“Brother Qi, I heard that the various academies will be holding a team competition for the new batch of combat classes. Are you interested in participating?”

“Combat class team competition?”

“That’s right. Many freshmen combat classes will be participating. It’s mainly a competition of team combat ability. After all, the students of the combat classes will basically join the domain combat teams in the future, so team coordination and combat ability are very important. This team competition is to let the freshmen realize the importance of the team and shape their collective consciousness.”

“There are 13 people in our class, including me and Senior Sister Mu Qing. Although that’s quite little, we have me, Lu Yue, and the three Xia brothers. If we take part, we should do pretty well.”

Hearing Lin Ran’s explanation, Feng Qi was immediately interested.

However, when he heard Lin Ran’s last sentence, he was speechless.

“Do you think you’re the strongest in our class?”

“Not necessarily. I think Lu Yue might not be weaker than mine. He might even be stronger than me. As for the others… I’m not bragging, but they’re basically not my match.”

“Then what do you think of Mu Qing’s strength?” Feng Qi asked with a strange expression.

“I don’t know, but I’ve roughly read up about Rune Transformers. I think Senior Sister Mu Qing won’t be able to last three rounds in my hands, though it’s a little hurtful to say that.”

“Remember what you said. It might hurt a little when the time to eat your own words comes.”

Feng Qi couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Ran’s inexplicable confidence.

Mu Qing, who was rated as a demon king by the future, was one of the absolute ceilings of combat power in human history.

Although Lin Ran was very talented, he was only talented in spell research. His actual combat ability was on a completely different level from Mu Qing’s. There was an insurmountable gap between them.

“Brother Qi, what do you mean?” Lin Ran couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“You’ll know in the future. Young people simply don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”

“I hate riddlers.”

As they chatted, the two of them arrived at the dormitory.

After saying goodbye to each other, they walked into their respective buildings.

Before Feng Qi entered, he saw the package placed in front of the door.

This surprised him. He didn’t remember ordering anything recently.

If it was a gift from his classmates, they would have informed him in advance. Therefore, the appearance of this express package seemed a little strange.

Picking up the package, he glanced at the recipient on it and realized that it was himself.

On the other hand, the sender’s column read: Joint Research Institute.

He immediately understood what was in this package, so he brought it in.

The status of the Joint Research Institute among the various research institutes was similar to the United Nations in the early days. In fact, they did not have the power to enforce the management of the various research institutes, especially the Special Research Institute.

The meaning of its existence was to give the various research institutes a platform for exchange and cooperation, as well as to be in charge of managing the cultivation techniques database and issuing awards.

Therefore, the package sent by the Joint Research Institute was clearly a reward for his research and development of cultivation techniques.

At the desk, Feng Qi opened the package.

What appeared in front of him was a deep blue metal box.

The surface of the box was also engraved with a silver symmetrical wheat head symbol representing the Joint Research Institute. It reflected light and was filled with a technological texture.

Opening the metal box, a silver medal stood in the center.

The medal was about the size of a child’s palm. It had a heavy metal texture when picked up. A sharp sword was carved on it, and flowers bloomed around it.

There was also a line of words engraved on the back of the medal:

a

A tribute to you, who have blazed a way through all obstacles for human civilizationa a the Silver Medal of Outstanding Contribution,.

Holding this medal, a smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.

Although he said that he did not care about these secular honors, the moment he received them, he could not help but feel proud.

With some things, the significance behind them were far more valuable than the physical object.

For more than 500 years, many heroes were like him, carrying this heavy glory and looking forward to the arrival of a beautiful tomorrow in their hearts. They had also worked tirelessly for this for their entire lives.

The Star City under his feet was built by the ancestors with their flesh, blood, and bones. That was why they could enjoy the beauty of stability and order after the calamity.

There were two meanings behind this meal of honor. One was history, and the other was spirit.

The former could be used to warn the world, while the latter could be used to soothe one’s heart.

As his fingers caressed the long sword and flowers on the medal, the deeds of the heroes of the era that Old Wang had mentioned in history class could not help but appear in his mind.

At this moment, it was as if time and space were intertwined.

He felt the heaviness and spirit behind this glory..
