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

Chapter 19 Departure, to Earth!

Pale purple tentacles tumbled across the ceiling, leaving trails of slime.

Li Ji gradually adapted to this walking pattern, avoiding crowds and saving himself unnecessary trouble.

For example, it won't be knocked away by a land shark running at 240 mph.

Today is the day he sets off for Earth, and he is inexplicably excited.

Could it be that "the closer one gets to home, the more timid one becomes"?
The images of Dailulu and Shark Baby unconsciously surfaced in my mind.

Once confirmed, it's not that I'm getting more timid as I get closer to home, it's just that I'm worried about what kind of tricks these two alien ancestors might pull.

He has been reflecting on his current situation these past two days.

With a seven-figure student loan debt, the only way to pay it off is to stay at the university as a teacher and rely on the policy of "the university repaying student loans for tenured teachers".

Barring unforeseen circumstances, there is only one opportunity each year for someone to stay on as a faculty member.

I am grateful for the teachers' kindness, which enabled me to pass every subject with a score of 60.6.

If it's true that Delulu doesn't want to stay at the school to teach, then I can stay at the school to teach as long as I surpass Nini and become second in the grade.

Judging from the results of the first place in previous years.

If I want to surpass Nini, I need to achieve an average score of 95 in every subsequent exam and activity.

It can be said that the task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

He has confidence in himself.

As long as Dailulu and Sharkbao are reliable, that's fine.

On my first trip to Earth, I need to get more than just a perfect score.

We need to put on a good show and give that grumpy catwoman, Delulu, a taste of her own medicine.

This way, we can quickly gain leadership of the group and prevent Delulu from causing trouble.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the school's spaceship port.

The interstellar bus that Shark Baby almost mistakenly boarded last time is docked in the harbor.

But unlike last time, the top of the triangular spacecraft is embedded with a honeycomb-shaped metal sphere.

Upon closer inspection, the large and small "honeycombs" on the metal sphere are actually small flight capsules.

"Li Ji, come quick!"

Shark waved to Li Ji from the cabin door; this time he hadn't made a mistake.

Upon boarding the plane, the bright blue lights were somewhat dazzling.

The air was filled with the scent of air freshener.

Beneath the long, pale blue windows, there are two rows of silver metal seats.

The oddly shaped students, who had been sitting, started whispering among themselves when they saw him enter, and many of them immediately stood up.

"Hey, Lee Ki."

A one-eyed, four-legged creature walked over. Its green body was covered with pale silver stripes, and its mouth had eight tongues fighting.

"I'm Guli. I've been following you for a long time. It's a bit of a shame that we couldn't team up this time. Maybe we can team up next time."

The other person extended a hand with fourteen fingers.

Li Ji did not shake hands.

"decide as things go."

Li Ji gave a vague reply and walked away.

Soon, many more students with strange appearances came up.

Everyone had a kind face and spoke extremely friendly language.

These people were telling Li Ji to "get lost" just a few days ago, but now they're all sticking to him.

"Hey, Lee Ki."

"Hello, Li Ji."

"father!"

Li Ji ignored them, squeezing past the kind faces as if passing through a forest.

Finally, they met up with Delulu at the end of the cabin.

Delulu sat in the corner with her arms crossed: "You're very popular now, meow."

Li Ji climbed to the spot next to her, his three eyes scanning the surroundings. Most people's eyes were focused on him, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He joked, "Don't worry, I won't abandon either of you."

Delulu simply meowed softly.

Shark seemed not to hear, and was playing with its tongue on the side.

Suddenly, the noisy cabin fell silent.

All eyes were focused on one point.

Oscar Wilde was floating in the center of the cabin, and before she could speak, she glanced around.

His gaze paused briefly when it fell on Li Ji, and he gave him a slight smile, as if to encourage him. "This is everyone's first time traveling to Earth."

"Although it is an experiential activity, it will still be scored and will be included in the evaluation of the total subject score."

"You will travel in groups to different regions of the Earth and take on the challenge of living like an Earthling for three days."

"The to-do list has been sent to your team leader. You can review it together later."

“Your mimicry devices have video recording capabilities and will record your every move over the past three days.”

"Remember, never cause trouble."

Shark asked loudly, "Professor, what kind of thing counts as troublesome?"

Oscar Wilde patiently gave examples: "Species extinction, technology transfer, having one's true identity discovered by more than fifteen people on Earth, helping an old lady cross a red light, and so on."

What the heck is the last one? How come it's listed alongside the previous ones?

"Teacher, is it possible to destroy a country or start a war?" Shark continued to ask.

Li Ji looked at him in surprise. What was he thinking under that harmless appearance?

Oscar Wilde waved his hand, seemingly impatient: "Is it even necessary to ask such a question?"

Li Ji silently agreed.

"As long as you don't reveal your true identity, it doesn't matter how many countries you destroy or how many wars you start. Earthlings themselves have done just that."

Li Ji stared at Professor Wilde with three wide eyes, but then realized that what the other man said made sense.

Since the birth of humankind, it seems that war has never ceased.

Li Ji raised his hand and asked, "Does that mean it's okay if fewer than fifteen Earthlings discover my identity?"

Oscar Wilde smiled and nodded.

"good question."

"Fifteen is the standard set by the Interstellar Alliance Criminal Law."

This was the first time Li Ji had ever seen school rules and criminal law overlap.

"Let's review this regulation again to avoid anyone crossing the line."

"To ensure the natural and orderly development of primitive civilization and to avoid irreversible impacts on the civilization's ecology."

"No individual or organization may reveal the existence of the Interstellar Alliance to primitive civilizations. If more than fifteen individuals of the same civilization are revealed to them, they will be convicted of leaking civilization information and sentenced to 1000 to 1500 stellar years of imprisonment."

Li Ji did not expect the punishment to be so severe.

"What if there are fewer than fifteen people?" Shark asked.

Oscar Wilde casually raised an eyebrow: "That's fine. If there's no video footage leading to an increase in the number of people sharing it, it won't have any impact."

“Those witnesses would be considered to have mental illness and sent to mental hospitals.”

Li Ji was startled. Could it be that Wang Shazi from his hometown village had really seen aliens?
"The senior students at the Earth Office will help you secretly, so you don't need to worry about any minor problems you encounter; it's perfectly normal."

"No one goes to Earth without leaving a trace on their first trip. It's inevitable that a few people will discover your identity. Just relax."

"As long as the leak is within the legal scope, they will help erase the memory. But you won't be able to keep your points."

"I want to emphasize again, do not kill Earthlings to silence them just because your identity has been exposed, even though it is not illegal."

Li Ji was shocked: Isn't this illegal? Earthlings' lives matter too!

"But I will still morally condemn you and deduct points from your score."

"Finally, let me remind you that even if you get a high score on the test of human behavior on Earth, don't be too proud."

"Going to Earth requires more than just physical movements like Earthlings. Earth's customs and culture are primitive and diverse, and you will also need to adapt."

Li Ji always felt that many people were watching him, and that quite a few were waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

"Nini is watching us, and she's even smiling."

Li Ji looked around, but couldn't find Nini anywhere.

"The spaceship is about to launch and perform an interplanetary jump. Everyone, please return to your respective flight cabins."

"Enjoy your Earth trip. You'll love it there, after all, it's a habitat for adorable cockroaches."

"Most importantly, don't hurt cockroaches, or you'll be in jail."

Li Ji was about to break down: "Are cockroaches more precious than Earthlings?"
With a loud noise overhead, steel columns fell from the ceiling.

Each steel column has a door with a different number written on it.

Li Ji and his group joined their assigned seventh group.

The steel ball shot upwards with a bang, and the three entered their own private flight cabins.

Oscar Wilde left the spaceship and watched it slowly sail out of the port and into the vast, dark universe.

Her communicator rang, showing that the caller was the judge from last time.

"Hello, Professor Lililia, I tried to contact Li Ji, a student in your Earth Sciences department, but I failed. Could you help me get in touch with him?"

"I'm afraid that won't work now. He's headed to Earth, and the spaceship will be blocking signals during interstellar jumps. I can pass on any information you need to him later."

"No need, I'll wait for him to come back before we talk about it."
