He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 1: Traveling to an Alien Planet, Fury Urges Me to Take a Make-up Exam

Li Ji opened his eyes and found himself completely immersed in blue liquid.

The skin felt comfortable and cool, and the water washed over the eyes.

He rolled his eyes to survey his surroundings.

The white cylindrical wall was only a few tens of centimeters away from me, like a jar enclosing me inside.

"A hibernation pod?"

Suddenly, a vortex-like sound came from above.

The water rushed upwards from below, washing over his entire body, and his pale purple body trembled like a gelatinous substance.

As the water receded, my reflection appeared on the glass hatch in front of me.

Li Ji was startled.

She immediately stepped back, her soft body slamming against the wall like jelly.

He let out a screech like a horn.

The sound, with its reverberation, echoed in the cramped cabin.

A monster was reflected in the glass.

The body is like slime, seemingly solidified, yet also seemingly about to dissipate at any moment.

Her purple, translucent skin was smooth like jelly, making you want to suck on it.

Three tentacles grew from the top of its head, each containing one of three eyeballs.

The sapphire blue eyes resembled rare jewels, with a straight black pupil in the center.

Like a black hole in a vast galaxy.

The tentacles covering his eyes can move freely, giving him unobstructed vision and allowing him to see everything inside the cabin.

A short, pointed object, gleaming with a silvery metallic sheen, was stuck in its body, resembling some kind of flute.

"What is this?"

The sharp object emitted a piercing whistle, and words could be faintly heard within it.

Only then did Li Ji realize that this thing was his own vocal organ.

Only after repeatedly reading and memorizing it could he convince himself that this thing was indeed his mouth and still needed to perform the function of eating.

"The only saving grace is that it's not a dual-purpose (inbound and outbound) type."

Beneath its slime-like body grows eight one-meter-long tentacles, its entire body smooth like noodles made from jelly.

The hatch slowly opened, and six tentacles moved back and forth underneath, their footsteps landing on the smooth silver metal floor with remarkable stability, as if they were glued to it.

The house wasn't large, about fifteen cubic meters, and looked like a small silver shell.

Besides the cylindrical white sleeping pods, there was only one lamp pointing upwards on the floor.

A thin line stands upright, and a hemispherical lamp emits a faint white light.

Li Ji poked out three eyeballs, wrapped them around the light cord, and observed curiously.

"how did you do that?"

After a brief period of shock, he gradually adapted to his body and his current situation.

A mechanical female voice came from the ceiling, broadcasting in a strange and unfamiliar language.

"The Interstellar Federation Ministry of Education has issued new regulations to reduce the waste of academic resources, which will lead to the elimination of some disciplines in certain universities that lack practical significance..."

Li Ji looked up and saw a monitor upside down on the ceiling, and an inverted table in front of it covered with strange buttons.

He peeled his sticky body off the "floor," and gravity pulled him up to the "ceiling."

My body landed smoothly without any pain, and my jelly-like body bounced a little.

On the screen, a three-headed announcer is mechanically reading aloud.

Li Ji extended his tentacles and turned off the screen.

"Boring news."

He picked up the student card from the table.

In the photo, his three eyes stand straight up, but his pointed mouth is slightly downturned, as if expressing frustration.

His basic information was written next to it.

Milver University

Name: Li Ji

Major: Earth Science.

"Geoscience?"

His three eyes narrowed in confusion.

"Is this the Earth I came from?"

"I never imagined that aliens would specifically study Earth."

"I am an Earthling, majoring in Earth Science."

"What's the difference between this and sending my son abroad to learn Chinese? Wouldn't that make me invincible?"

Earth University Students Challenge Alien Universities!

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but feel excited, as if he could see his future as a top Earth expert.

His excitement was short-lived, but reality brought him back to reality.

Because he racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what exactly the courses in Earth Science entailed.

It wasn't because he had amnesia, but because—

A phone call rang on the screen.

When the call connected, a holographic image of a girl with a cat's head appeared.

She has a huge white cat head, but long chestnut-colored hair.

Its body is a hairy humanoid shape, wearing a standard brown American school uniform.

"Class Monitor Dailulu, what do you need me for?"

Delulu's beard trembled slightly, and her pale blue cat eyes darkened.

"My supernova meow, you wouldn't forget something so important, meow?"

Li Ji was completely bewildered. The three of them exchanged glances, then their eyelids curved slightly as they joked, "Do we have a date today?"

Dailu sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"Damn it! What are you thinking? Today is the makeup exam! Even if you skip class every day, you shouldn't forget it's the makeup exam day, right?"

Li Ji finally understood why he couldn't remember the course content. The original owner of this body was such a good-for-nothing; he hadn't attended a single class in a whole semester since the start of the semester.

He originally applied for Dark Matter Engineering, but somehow his major was changed to Earth Science.

He later learned that Earth was a habitable planet within the province of Milwall, and because it was a major habitat for cockroaches, it was designated as an ecological protection zone by the Interstellar Alliance.

Earthlings were not absorbed by the Interstellar Alliance because their level of civilization was too low. In the eyes of the Alliance, they were still a group of uncivilized monkeys.

This niche and obscure subject is offered by only three schools in the Milwall province, making it a distinctive specialty within the province.

The oddity of this major is no less than that of offering Songxi Ecology at Zhejiang University.

You ask what Songxi is?
It's the little river in front of Li Ji's mother's house in the countryside.

Apart from a very few Earth enthusiasts like Delulu, most students were assigned to this program, so their job prospects are predictable.

Top students stay at the university to teach, while a small number compete to go to remote observation stations.

The others are outstanding talents that the school provides to the vast job market of the Interstellar Alliance.

Whether society accepts it or not is a matter for society to decide.

"Listen up, Li Ji, this make-up exam is really tough. If you don't pass, you'll be expelled. And it'll take you 243 years to pay off all that student loan debt you're carrying!"

Li Ji was terrified, and his pointed mouth began to spew air uncontrollably.

The original owner of this body was an orphan who defied fate by taking out an exorbitant student loan from the Interstellar Alliance government in order to go to university. If he had become a dark matter engineer, he would have risen to a high position and paid off his student loan in a few decades.

If a student loan cannot be repaid, according to the Union Act, if a borrower lacks the ability and willingness to repay the debt for more than forty Union days, the lending institution has the right to sell the borrower's remaining value to the relevant organization.

In short, it means dismantling and selling the parts.

Within the Interstellar Alliance, where the bio-industry is highly developed, any organ or tissue of any life form can play a valuable role.

The most distinctive feature of the original Barbaradu alien is that its brain does not die even when separated from its body, and it still retains consciousness. With proper protection, it can theoretically achieve immortality.

Therefore, the brains of the Barbaradus are extremely valuable on the market.

If he fails to repay his student loans, the alliance will connect his brain to the main network to increase computing power, so that he can repay the alliance's debts for all eternity.

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but gasp, and his sharp beak emitted a piercing cry.

If you don't want to be disassembled, you have to go to work.

The Interstellar Alliance is technologically advanced, so the jobs that are still available require extremely high levels of expertise.

Dropping out of university or studying an unpopular major makes it virtually impossible to find a job.

The only option is to go to the K768 Nebula and operate a space junk ship to recycle two hundred years' worth of interstellar waste.

Not only is it tough and tiring, but there's also the risk of being hit and killed by a crazy person speeding through spaceships, or dying from poisoning by unidentified substances in space debris, or being left with a lifelong disability.

There is only one way to get rid of student loans as soon as possible.

He could produce some research results and stay on as a faculty member.

Milwall University will repay all student loans for tenured faculty members.

On the other end of the phone, Delulu remained aggressive: "It's okay if you get fired, meow."

"Squad leader, aren't your words a bit hurtful?"

"But if you get expelled, causing our major to be classified as a useless subject and eliminated, everyone will definitely kill you."

Delulu's originally round black pupils turned into thin strips, and she even started breathing uncontrollably.

Li Ji had owned cats before, and he knew that this was murderous intent.

If he fails his make-up exam and the entire department, including the professors, ends up on a space junk ship, he'll definitely become space junk himself.

"You have half an hour left. Hurry up and come to the make-up exam room. I'll send you the address, meow."

"Class monitor, the make-up exam covers—"

Before Li Ji could finish his question, Dai Lulu hurriedly hung up the phone.

Then they sent me an address.

He tried to call back, but the other party did not answer.

After making seventeen phone calls and sending twenty-eight text messages without receiving a reply.

Li Ji's anxiety finally subsided.

An exam that concerns life, death, and freedom.

You only have one chance.

However, he didn't know the exam content and hadn't studied it at all.

If he were to be tested on topics like the history of Earth's geological development, ocean changes, or the origin of species, he would surely die.

I've forgotten all that knowledge from my high school teachers.

Even if he remembers, it might not be of any use. Perhaps human research findings are full of flaws and are just a joke in the eyes of aliens?
"A fool makes trouble for himself."

Li Ji slapped himself with his tentacles, his jelly-like face bouncing back and forth.

"I'm just an Earthling, why would I be afraid of taking an Earth studies exam?"

"I was given a second chance at life anyway, so I can just start over if necessary."

Lee Ki pulled the silver uniform out of the metal cabinet.

The clothes wrapped around his body were like tin foil, and his uniform was an eight-legged style with eight cuffs for him to extend his tentacles.

He now looks like a lump of jelly wrapped in tin foil.

This is clothing specifically designed for the Barbaradu aliens to maintain body humidity.

The jelly-like body secretes mucus, which is contained by special clothing to prevent excessive leakage.

The high school uniform that Dailu wore in her video was probably made by herself.

After all, she is a well-known Earth fanatic and a niche fashionista.

Her figure is also similar to that of an Earthling, so all kinds of clothes fit her exceptionally well.

Lee Ki couldn't imagine what he would look like in an American high school uniform, given his current jelly-like body.

"Thinking about it that way, aluminum foil isn't so bad either."

The metal door opens horizontally.

Six purple, jelly-like tentacles tumbled rapidly across the ground.

Li Ji felt as if he were inside a giant spaceship, surrounded by smooth metal walls.

Bizarre-looking aliens chased and played around inside the cabin.

He had to climb onto the ceiling to avoid being crushed by the whale man's five-meter-thick thighs.
