Abnormal crossing

Chapter 220 Jin's former sidekick
"It's just a little gadget for storing things, nothing special."

Hearing Vallin's astonished words, Jin simply fiddled with the necklace while glancing at the bauhinia-like armband on the other's arm: "From the Fourteen Flower Festival Imaginary Tower?"

“Yes,” Varlin was taken aback, and subconsciously said, “You can recognize the Flower Festival? Could you perhaps be one of the Six Great Masters?”

Fujimori frowned slightly, as if he sensed something was amiss.

Imaginary Tower.

This is one of the six major universities in the Star Sea that studies energy and mathematics. There is another university with a similar focus: Zero Point Tower.

As its name suggests, the Tower of Imaginary Numbers is a giant tower floating in the starry sky, with seventeen floors inside, each representing a progressively deeper knowledge system.

The higher up the hierarchy, the more profound and obscure the theories become.

Students begin by studying basic theories from the bottom up. Upon reaching the sixth level, they graduate and receive an academy badge symbolizing academic achievement—an imaginary flower with six 'flower nodes'.

Those who continue climbing will have a flower festival added to the college emblem for each level they clear.

At the same time, this 'climb' is not limited to students within the school. That is, even if you feel that your academic level has improved after graduation, you can continue to return to the Tower of Imaginary Numbers to try to challenge yourself.

Therefore, the more flower festivals he has, the greater his achievements are.

And what's really special is that...

The flower patterns of the Imaginary Tower are not simply numbers, but geometric light patterns fitted by dynamic equations. They can only be deciphered by following certain rules—rules that are usually only found within the six major powers and require a high level of computational ability.

Therefore, in the sea of ​​stars.

Many people can recognize the emblem of the Imaginary Tower, but very few can identify the specific flower festival.

"The Tower of Imaginary Numbers"

When asked by Vallin, Jin didn't answer directly. Instead, she touched her chin with her other hand, which wasn't holding the necklace: "I remember when I went to your place back then, I took in a little follower named Wendy. Do you know her?"

“Wendia?” Vallin blinked, then seemed to realize something, and suddenly became flustered: “You…you mean Wendia Weber?”

Jin thought for two seconds: "Oh right, I think his surname is Weber. It's easy to remember, being both 'withered' and 'erect'."

Vallin froze for a long while before managing to squeeze out a few words: "Vendia Weber is now one of the seventeen deputy tower masters of the Imaginary Tower, in charge of the daily affairs of the ninth floor."

As a graduate of the Tower of Imaginary Numbers, Vallin was very familiar with the academy's leadership.

Wendia Weber was not only the deputy tower master of the Imaginary Tower, but she also reached the pinnacle of the regular ninth-level honor, the [Star Sage], fifty years ago. She was also one of the candidates for the Monument of Civilization—although not one of the top favorites, she was still ranked around one hundred.

To know.

Since the establishment of the Monument to Civilization, only 1934 people have passed the test of the "Voice of Civilization" to inscribe it.
Of those, only four are still alive today!
Being ranked in the top 100 is already an incredibly impressive number.

Also, if Vallin remembers correctly...
Wendy Weber appears to be over 260 years old.
Seemingly noticing the subtle change in Warlin's expression, Jin suddenly asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"?!"

A chill suddenly rose from Vallin's spine, and he shuddered twice, his body seemingly becoming much more agile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, hello senior, hello senior." Gu Wei: "."

A frail, elderly man calling a pretty girl who looks no more than twenty "senior sister"—this scene is rather unusual.
Seeing this, Jin didn't say anything more, and quickly took out a large, jet-black ball from the weaver's necklace: "Here, this is it."

The instant I saw the big black ball.

Fujimori, who had been frowning because of the conversation between Jin and Vallin, was suddenly startled. He put aside his many thoughts, took a step forward, and stared intently at the big black ball.

"call"

More than ten seconds passed.

Fujimori's breathing gradually calmed down, and he gave Vallin a look.

Warlin nodded excitedly, and shakily pulled a probe that was flashing blue light from his personal device, extending it to the side of the large black sphere.

call out.
The needle tip suddenly curved into an arc when it was five or six centimeters from the surface of the large black sphere, and Vallin's pupils began to change color wildly, as a torrent of information flashed through his mind:

"Energy field verification shows a single-crystal structure matching degree of 99.99998% and a spacetime curvature distortion coefficient of -7.93Γ. Yes, that's right!"

The old man looked up frantically, his beard trembling with excitement: "The data match is correct! It's Wei... cough cough... it's the target carrier!"

A look of surprise flashed across Fujimori's face: "Mr. Vallin, quickly take it!"

"Station Chief Fujimori, don't be in such a hurry," before Vallin could even make a move, Milo stepped in front of him, blocking his way: "Are you ignoring me?"

Fujimori's surprised expression froze instantly. He stared at Milo for a few seconds, then his tone turned grim: "Captain Milo, what do you mean by this?"

Based on Fujimori's initial guess.

Although Milo's explanation was rather perfunctory, they probably didn't know much about the truth of the Persian civilization—after all, all they could access were the so-called rituals held by Melendorth.

Milo might imagine many things, but these imaginings could be big or small, and he's more likely to attribute the whole thing to Melendorte's small group.

So initially, Fujimori chose to appear as a member of the 'Tallinn Grand Alliance'.

But this conjecture was shattered after Hibiscus recognized the Imaginary Tower's flower festival.

To know.

The highest level of the Imaginary Tower emblem is the Seventeen Flower Festival, and scholars at this level are either monuments to civilization or the best among the Stars of Sages.

Such figures may not be the highest leaders in the scientific research field in an eighth-order civilization, but they are at least the leaders of a certain scientific research faction or academic clique.

The sixteenth flower festival is basically equivalent to the chief scientist of a seventh-order civilization. Some early seventh-order civilizations with insufficient foundation can only recruit the fifteenth flower festival as their chief.

As for scholars like Warlin who celebrate the Fourteenth Flower Festival.
An ordinary sixth-order civilization might be lucky enough to recruit one or two geniuses—for example, geniuses cultivated locally, or retired scholars who have settled here, etc. The probability cannot be said to be zero.

But those kinds of people are all protected by a sixth-order civilization. When they leave the planet's capital, they can even be protected by the chief of mechs. How could they be assigned to a supply point of the seventh order and be ordered around by a station chief like Fujimori?
