I Hijacked The Timeline

Scavenger – Mu Qing

After getting to know Mu Qing’s situation, Feng Qi suddenly understood why she had such a reaction.

In her own eyes, she was a freak. It was only natural that the students of the Star City Academ were afraid of her. It would be abnormal if they weren’t.

Through the posts on the forum, he also learned that Mu Qing was actually a scavenger before entering Star City Academy.

Scavengers were the people who escaped from the cities covered by the domain fields. Due to the large population base, many cities could not receive them in large numbers, so they became wanderers outside the cities.

Their living environment was extremely harsh compared to the residents in the city. There was no trust between them. Sometimes, they would even kill their companions for food.

Their descendants had grown up in such an environment and had always followed the law of the survival of the fittest.

Star City had once accepted a group of scavengers and gave them a resettlement area and arranged jobs for them. However, the law and order in Star City soon became chaotic, and the crime rate rose sharply. In the end, Star City had no choice but to cancel the resettlement work of the scavengers.

Like Star City, other cities had generally adopted measures to help scavengers, but they had all failed.

Although they were all humans, in the eyes of many people, scavengers were misfits that could not be civilized.

Feng Qi’s impression of scavengers was not bad.

He first learned about the existence of scavengers in Wang Jinsheng’s history class.

Wang Jinsheng’s evaluation of scavengers was not as extreme as most people.

He felt that since they were all humans, everyone should get along harmoniously. There were also “cultivators” among the scavengers. On the long path of resisting the invasion of the domain fields in the future, they would also be an important force. Only by working together would there be hope in the future.

Wang Jinsheng believed that the inability of the city’s residents to understand the behavior of scavengers was related to the differences in living conditions.

The scavengers lived in places where resources were scarce outside the city, and the residents in the city did not have to worry about food and safety. This resulted in a huge difference in behavior and thinking. This problem could be resolved. What was important was communication and removing prejudice.

During this time, Wang Jinsheng also listed several incidents of scavengers helping the domain combat teams disperse domain fields, deepening Feng Qi’s impression of scavengers.

Therefore, Feng Qi did not have any negative feelings towards Mu Qing.

However, what puzzled him was that the Rune Transformers Project had long been put on hold because there were serious hidden dangers. Why did Mu Qing still become a Rune Transformer? And why was she able to join Star City Academy?

Confused, Feng Qi tried to find the answer in the Star City Academy forum.

In the search, a post on the forum’s hot list caught Feng Qi’s attention.

[Amazing. The new exchange student, Lin Ran, is too formidable. After listening to one class, I’m completely convinced.]

OP: Star City Academy’s Little Tyrant

Content:

“I’m sure everyone has heard of Junior Lin Ran from Winter Academy, and you must know that he has been accepted by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance. At that time, I was quite unconvinced. I felt that he had only proposed some ideas for the research of cultivation techniques. It’s not like he had developed a new cultivation technique himself. Why did he have such good treatment? I could have done it myself.

“Only after personally experiencing it did I realize that the gaps between person and person are real.

“He is very young, but his research on cultivation techniques has taken a completely different path. After the class, I went to the training room to practice Junior Lin Ran’s theory and was shocked again.

“Junior Lin Ran’s theory could already be combined with practice. It was not just a theoretical hypothesis. It was as if I’d seen a rising human star.”

…

“Where did you take the class? Is there a video recording? I want to watch it too.”

“The first class was at our Combat Class One. I’m not sure if there will be any more classes in the future, but I have to say that his class is really interesting. I benefited a lot from it. It’s not limited to theoretical knowledge research like everyone thinks it is. Now, I’ve already turned into a fan. As expected of a talented student who was recruited by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance.”

“Is he that incredible? No matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be? We’re all humans. Does he have three heads and six arms? (Confused Nick Young.jpg) Who took a video? Show it to me.”

Below this post, there were already replies from many students.

In addition to the students’ discussions about Lin Ran, one of the teachers’ replies made Feng Qi curious about Lin Ran.

“As a teacher in the combat department of the academy, I’ve personally experienced how ridiculous the difference in talent between people is. It can even be bigger than the difference between humans and pigs. Back then, when I was studying in the Star City Academy, I studied Cultivation Research. I can say without hesitation that I was the most hardworking in our class, but in a class of 100 people, my results couldn’t even be ranked in the top 50. The most outrageous was one of my roommates. He copied my homework every day and was frivolous with his studies. In the end, during the final exam, he scored 489 points, and I scored 271 points. Later, I understood that if I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t do it. I obediently transferred to combat studies, and my path after that was very smooth, whether it was joining a domain combat team or subsequently being recruited by Star City Academy to be a teacher for Combat Class Three. I wasn’t depressed anymore. In fact, even now, I’m still very envious of those students who continue to walk the path of cultivation technique research. Many of them later entered the various cultivation technique research institutes. That was once an unattainable dream of mine. Every one of them was a shining existence in my eyes. Student Lin Ran might be a student with similar talent to them.”

…

The praise from everyone on the forum reminded Feng Qi of someone.

Wang Jinsheng.

He was once an outstanding graduate of Star City Academy. Like Lin Ran, he had been recruited by the Tiger Soul Research Institute before he even graduated.

The only regret was that Wang Jinsheng had chosen to be a history teacher back then, and his talent had been buried.

Fortunately, Old Wang had already awakened in advance and was already considering giving up on teaching to go work at Tiger Soul Research Institute.

Otherwise, it would be the loss of all mankind.

Realizing that Lin Ran might be as talented as Wang Jinsheng, Feng Qi wanted to get to know him.
