Undoubtedly, this was a man who possessed great charm, whether young or old.
Mingxi clasped the other party's hand, smiling as she said, “Hello, Dean Yin.”
The pressure in her hand was neither light nor heavy.
It looked like there were no problems.
After a brief contact, their hands separated.
Next, Mingxi greeted the other six bigwigs before beginning her speech as the freshman representative.
She hadn't known before that Star Pickers also had to be freshman representatives, so she hadn't prepared anything, plus she didn't like long-winded speeches.
So she just said one sentence: “May everyone present never forget their original aspirations and live up to their youth!”
“My speech is finished.”
Mingxi said, preparing to step down.
“Comrade Yan, wait a moment.” Yin Jiuheng stopped her, nodded to the host and the deans of the ordinary academies, then said to Mingxi, “Come with us.”
Mingxi remembered that she hadn't yet received the Star Picker's reward. freёwebnovel.com
Then she was sandwiched between two Vice-Principals, with four deans trailing behind her, passively walking down from the podium.
A teleportation gate suddenly appeared at the bottom of the steps.
Mingxi looked behind her and saw a dark blue Transcendent creature appear beside the dean of the Pharmacy Academy.
Its appearance was a bit like a pangolin, but its tail had a clump of white fluff, like a dandelion or a rabbit's tail.
Mingxi recognized at a glance that this was an Emperor-level Ghost and Ground dual-element pet, Armor Piercing Bronze.
A Transcendent creature unique to the Yinhe Country region.

The group walked into the teleportation gate.
The rest of the freshman ceremony was then hosted by the dean of the ordinary academy.
Through the teleportation gate, Mingxi found herself in an office decorated in a very understated, luxurious, and tasteful manner.
“Please make yourselves at home.”
Yin Jiuheng walked to the desk and sat down, and the others, as he said, casually found a spot to sit.
Mingxi wasn't so casual; she still remembered her identity as a student.
So she stood obediently in the middle of the office.
“Comrade Yan, you should have heard that Star Pickers at our school can receive rewards. In previous years, it was always the star luo fruit, but this year the xingluo tree had some unexpected changes, so we had to change the Star Picker’s reward.”
It seemed Yue Zhong’s information was accurate.
Her star luo fruit was gone.
“I hope you don’t mind.”
Mingxi: I would mind if minding helped.
She didn't make a sound, only looking at Yin Jiuheng with 'innocent' eyes.
What was with this silent standoff?
Yin Jiuheng, feeling a bit numb from her gaze, silently shifted the position of his crossed legs.
Then he cleared his throat and continued, “Comrade Yan, have you heard of Star Orbit?”
Yue Zhong had guessed it again.
Mingxi slightly lowered her gaze and replied, “Not much, I only know that Star Orbit is a miniature space of the cosmic Star Orbits, and Beast Tamers and Transcendent creatures can enter through the Star Orbit Gate, but whether it’s an opportunity or a crisis after entering depends on luck.”
In fact, her understanding of Star Orbit was quite extensive. During her recovery period, she had read through all the non-top-secret internal documents of the Silver Radiance Group.
Among them were materials related to Star Orbit.
Star Orbit refers to the trajectory of stars, the entire process from the birth to the destruction of each planet.
And Star Orbit is a special space that will recreate a certain segment of a star's orbit, allowing entrants to personally participate in the process from a third-person perspective.
Participating in the process is called Lying on the Star Track.
Yin Jiuheng nodded, “That’s right. Our Immortal University has a Star Orbit Gate, and the key still has one more activation opportunity this year. If you agree, your Star Picker’s reward will be changed to entering Star Orbit.”
Mingxi nodded, “Okay.”
Although Lying on the Star Track came with unknown dangers, the benefits were also great.
Yin Jiuheng was somewhat surprised by her decisiveness; it seemed she had already thought it through, without even a hint of hesitation.
“You have three months to consider and prepare. During this period, you can find your dean at any time, and he will open the Star Orbit Gate for you, but if it exceeds three months, the reward will be forfeited.”
The Beast Taming Academy Dean, Oath Sword Sound, now stood up from his seat, walked over to Mingxi, and handed her a thick letter, clearing his throat as he solemnly explained, “This letter contains some information about Star Orbit that our academy knows. Since you have obtained the opportunity to enter Star Orbit for Lying on the Star Track, you can read it for reference. I hope it can be of some help to you.”
Mingxi understood the meaning in the dean's words.
This information was specially prepared by the dean after he learned that her reward was entry into Star Orbit, and it was unrelated to the reward itself.
“Thank you, Dean.”
After sincerely thanking him, Mingxi took the letter.
“I almost forgot to mention, this thing has been enchanted with a 'read-and-burn' skill.”
Mingxi: “...”
Are they that cautious?
“I didn’t realize you, Old Sword, could be so thoughtful.” Morad, the dean of the Prop Academy, said with a teasing smile.
Oath Sword Sound snorted coldly, “Don’t call me Old Sword! And I’ve always been thoughtful! Yan Luoxi is this year’s Star Picker from my academy, what’s wrong with me thinking a little more for her?”
“Heh heh, you thoughtful? You mean stone-hearted, right? Last time this old lady wanted to enter Star Orbit and asked you for some information, how did you answer me? Just two damn words! Nothing!”
Zhu Meng, the dean of the Cultivation Academy, was a stunning beauty with an immortal-like appearance, but her voice was especially loud, especially the last two words, ‘Nothing,’ which were like a firecracker going off next to everyone's ears.
Mingxi couldn't help but tilt her head back.
“Oath, you’re too stingy. You didn’t even give our beautiful Zhu Meng any face.”
This time, it was another Vice-Principal, the female Mia Jacqueline, who spoke.
Mingxi noticed that this Vice-Principal was looking at her quite frequently, though not with malice, probably just out of pure curiosity.
Oath Sword Sound, being cornered by several people, showed no signs of guilt, snorting through his nose with a cold face: “Zhu Meng is neither a teacher nor a student of our academy, so why should I give her face?
Just because she’s beautiful?
Well, I’m handsome too!
Last time our academy needed two spots in the Mystic Ground, didn’t she also not give me face?”
Mia Jacqueline was choked.
She couldn't refute that.
Zhu Meng was also a bit speechless, spitting fiercely, “You’re handsome my ass!”
Oath Sword Sound sneered, “Likewise, in my eyes, you’re not even as beautiful as an ass.”
“You!”
Mingxi, surrounded by a group of bigwigs, deeply lamented this world where appearances could be deceiving.
Their dean’s trash-talking skills were clearly well-honed and incredibly impressive.
