I can travel to the past and the future

Instead of looking at the genius Gu Qingshan, Qiao Yuan looked at the emblem of Galaxy University, which had a simplified galaxy vortex pattern as a silver background, with two layers of light gold concentric circles and a bright red inverted triangle in the center.

Inside the concentric circles, above and below are the eight Chinese characters: 【吾辈自强】【百折不饶】.

The number 2260 at the bottom of the inverted triangle likely represents the year Galaxy University was founded.

The overall school emblem is very simple, without even the words "Galaxy University" marked, but the three colors complement each other, making it very harmonious and memorable.

Then he looked at the curved edge of the front square, where at intervals stood magnificent gilded statues, each thirty meters tall.

Whether it's a proud warrior or a dignified elder like a leader, each one is lifelike, brimming with the eternal marks of time.

He had seen it when he took the hover taxi, and now, walking in front of the school gate plaza, which is a kilometer in diameter, it was even clearer.

A height of thirty meters is equivalent to a ten-story building, and it is extremely remarkable even when viewed from a distance of five hundred meters.

He counted them; from left to right in the square, there were a total of sixty-three such golden statues, giving him the awe-inspiring feeling of being in Valhalla, filled with an epic sense of history. They must all be outstanding individuals from Galaxy University.

Thinking of this, his emotions couldn't help but stir, after all, he was now a member of Galaxy University.

Right after paying his tuition, his account now had a new label: "Galaxy University Undergraduate Student," which would serve as a symbol of his identity wherever he went.

As one of the seven-star alliance universities of the Apocalypse Federation, Galaxy University has a high status and strong security. The entire university is shrouded in a thin, transparent energy barrier, which, according to Hu Tu, is similar to that outside the main city and is of the antimatter level.

Furthermore, the entry and exit methods are the same, requiring identity verification, ensuring excellent security.

Moreover, after Hutu screamed, he also received new information.

[Officially entered Galaxy University: Credit points +100, current total 220.]

It seems there's been a slight delay. I remember it was added immediately when I advanced to the first tier of Lone Ranger last night.

Qiao Yuan soon noticed that Yan Baobao's gaze was also fixed on the statues, her eyes sparkling.

There were also many other freshmen around who were discussing the statues.

Hu Tu leaned closer and said, "I checked yesterday. These statues represent the heroes and legends of Galaxy University over the past nine hundred years. There are former presidents, outstanding students, influential professors, and so on. Each of them has left their mark on the Apocalypse Federation. It's called 'Galaxy Outstanding Figures,' which is the highest honor of Galaxy University."

Qiao Yuan nodded slightly as he listened: "Only sixty-three in nine hundred years, that's an average of one every fifteen years."

"Yes," Hu Tu said wistfully, "Those who can be listed as statues are all very famous. I heard that most of them have already become gods."

"Look at that old man with flowing hair over there. He is the first president of Galaxy University, known as Emperor Yao Guang. He established Galaxy University during the first multiverse cataclysm. He was one of the first humans to ascend to godhood and one of the pioneering elders who developed the Star Empire."

"It's a pity that the Stellar Empire has been out of touch with us for 30 years. What do you think? Could it be that the Stellar Empire has already been destroyed by other cosmic forces, and we just don't know it yet?" Hutu sighed.

Qiao Yuan immediately shook his head: "How could that be? If the Star Empire is no good, then the Apocalypse Federation would have evaporated long ago. They are our front line."

Hu Tu muttered, "Yeah, oh well, never mind. Are you ready for the assessment later? Qin Xue just told me that Yao Guang University doesn't have any assessments, they just directly assign classes. Our Galaxy University is really strict. I just wonder what the assessment will be like."

"Baby just mentioned a tower climbing challenge, it sounds like it'll be really interesting," Qiao Yuan said with a smile.

"A tower climbing challenge?" Hu Tu blinked. "It seems like it would actually be quite fun, haha."

As 9 a.m. approached, more and more freshmen gathered here, including students from other cities and many students from other planets who had traveled thousands of miles by starship to arrive.

They come from stars such as Chixiao, Tianxuan, and Bimuyu, and their numbers are quite considerable.

I remember that Galaxy University enrolled 20,000 students this year, and half of them should be from other planets.

The Apocalypse Federation has a total of 736 planets, which, when spread out, is quite a small number, leading to the fact that, as Hu Tu said, it's indeed full of geniuses everywhere you look.

This feeling seems pretty good.

Twenty thousand new students may seem like a lot, but the official statistics for the entire Silvermoon capital city are two hundred million people!

Truly one in a million.

As Qiao Yuan thought casually, he gradually noticed many students displaying their credit scores on their wrists.

Students with credit scores of six or seven hundred, or even over a thousand, are likely local students from the main city of Silvermoon, giving them a natural advantage.

Especially Gu Qingshan, who attracted everyone's attention, was tall and had a refined and elegant demeanor. He wore a black mandarin jacket and had a pair of narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes that seemed to be smiling. He appeared unassuming and unassuming.

Its credit score is as high as 1546.

Not far away, there was another blond boy with a credit rating of 1507. He was extremely arrogant, with his arms crossed. His aura was like a storm, so that there was no other student within a three-meter radius. He was domineering and formed a stark contrast to Gu Qingshan, who was surrounded by everyone.

There was also a black-haired punk girl with a lip piercing. Although she didn't have any credit points, her strong, high-quality genes made even her fair skin glow slightly, making her as eye-catching as a precious gem.

Similar brilliant geniuses are everywhere.

Many students even compared Yan Baobao's arrogant demeanor to these people, sparking a quiet discussion.

The reason is simple: both Gu Qingshan and the blond boy were ignored by Bao Bao.

They were puzzled, yet they vaguely sensed Yan Baobao's power, like a hidden master.

Qiao Yuan, however, had long been used to it.

From the time he met the baby at the orphanage, no one but him could get the baby to look at him properly.

He always has an indifferent expression and a cold demeanor, giving people the impression that he is being ignored and looked down upon.

Even those seniors never made the baby take them seriously; they were always self-willed and ridiculously strong.

He had always been curious about when he would meet a powerful person who would catch the baby's eye.

"That's... a fox?"

"My God, it's the Tushan family!"

"Wow, so cute!"

A sudden commotion arose at the school gate, and students around turned their heads to look, most of them with curiosity in their eyes.

Qiao Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw that it really was a fox girl who stepped down from a very retro gold-plated floating car.

The girl had two pointed, fluffy fox ears standing upright on her snow-white long hair, and a huge, fluffy tail like a cotton candy behind her.

The fox's tail was estimated to be about a meter long and thirty or forty centimeters thick, sticking up high behind the girl, which was quite adorable.

The girl wore a burgundy dress and black round-toed Mary Jane shoes. The layered patterns on the skirt exuded the elegance of a noble lady. She carried a similarly fluffy bear backpack. At this moment, she looked reserved, her fair face tense, and her beautiful golden amber eyes held a hint of shyness, as if she were socially anxious.

At the same time, a powerful female teacher walked over with a smile and said something to the girl.

Qiao Yuan only noticed that the fox girl relaxed a little and behaved especially obediently.

He had heard of the Tushan family; they were one of the oldest and most powerful families, with a distinguished lineage and a mysterious background—truly top-tier noble families.

The surrounding discussions had already overshadowed everything else, and thousands of eyes were focused on her, leaving the fox girl extremely bewildered. At this moment, she bit her red lips and clutched the hem of her skirt, completely at a loss.

Fortunately, the female teacher smiled and invited the fox girl to the administration building outside the plaza on the left.

Qiao Yuan's gaze grew increasingly strange. The more he looked at the fox girl, the more she resembled the frog girl from that morning.

He remembered that earlier, when the frog girl noticed him staring at the bulge on her back, she instinctively covered it with her hand. Although they chatted for a few words afterward, she was still quite reserved and very polite.

"Impossible, right?"

"A socially awkward fox calling himself Frog Hero? And investigating a serial murder case?"

Qiao Yuan gradually withdrew his gaze. Although they looked very similar, and might even be the same girl, many of the logics didn't hold up, making it seem very strange.

unless……

He needs to hear the other person's voice for himself!

Yan Baobao, standing nearby, twitched her lips slightly and asked, "When did you become interested in foxes?"

"This is the first time I've seen this. It's quite novel." Qiao Yuan coughed twice, but inwardly he was wondering, "When did my baby become so jealous?"

Seeing this, the baby pouted and snorted, but didn't say anything more.

Hu Tu, standing nearby, said with genuine envy, "Wow, it looks like she doesn't need to take the exam."

"But she really is so cute."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Qiao Yuan said with a half-smile, "I'm going to tell Qin Xue."

Hu Tu panicked upon hearing this and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Damn it! You can't say that, okay? We're not even in the same school."

Qiao Yuan chuckled twice, but the fluffy fox girl was indeed quite cute.

At that moment, a school leader with half-silver hair walked out in front of them. He was about fifty years old, wearing a black Zhongshan suit. He was robust and had a dignified yet approachable appearance.

Beside him was a refined-looking male assistant, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Qiao Yuan's eyelids twitched suddenly. The aura of this school leader in the Zhongshan suit was so strong, he felt a terrifying aura of the sixth level.

Back then, the principal of Huanxi State's No. 1 High School had only reached the third level of advancement and was the only one in the school.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and noticed that Yan Baobao, apart from being jealous, still had the same indifferent expression.

Suddenly I feel like the baby is so cute. He's obviously super aloof and arrogant, but he gets jealous every day.

"Ahem, hello new students, I am Wang Xinjie, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Galaxy University. Next, you will be randomly given a numbered bracelet to go and take on the tower climbing challenge."

Teacher Wang raised his hand and pointed to the blue buildings in front of the central axis of the semi-circular square: "There are a total of twenty towers. You will be divided into twenty groups of one thousand people each, and climb the towers at the same time."

"Each tower has a total of thirty floors, and each floor contains different challenges, with the difficulty increasing as you go higher."

"The rules are very simple. After you put on the numbered wristband, your real-time data will be linked. Each student has two chances to make a mistake. After the third mistake, the wristband will turn red, and you will be stopped and exited. However, the floors you have reached will be retained."

"The Tower Challenge tests your comprehensive combat skills. Each of the thirty levels is different. Whether you prioritize speed or stability is up to you."

"During the challenge, the top 100 from each batch will be displayed in real time on each tower. After the challenge ends, corresponding reputation points will be awarded based on the ranking."

As news of the credit score increase spread, the surrounding students became noticeably restless.

Teacher Wang then emphasized: "What we will test you on is not only speed, but also stability, mindset, consistency, decisiveness and other aspects. The final ranking will be based on a comprehensive score across multiple dimensions, and then combined with your college entrance examination scores to determine your class placement."

"If you have a conflict in the same level during the challenge, please stop short of fighting. Violators will be judged as failures."

"Now, everyone can go to the tower entrance to get your numbered wristbands. Don't rush or scramble. After everyone has gotten their wristbands, we will enter the tower in batches."

After listening quietly, Qiao Yuan and the others walked towards the tower ahead.

I climbed the tower to the 30th floor, but only entered the timeline 4 times, which is a bit few.

wrong!

Qiao Yuan's expression suddenly lit up: "Although I can only enter four times, each time I get half an hour, so four times is a full two hours. That's more than enough to quickly clear all these levels! Wow, I'm a god!"

This is so awesome!

He had never enjoyed climbing towers so much; it was a paradise made just for him!

This is... my world!

Twenty blue towers stand on either side of this wide campus avenue, which resembles a central axis. Their semi-transparent glass surfaces are particularly luxurious, resembling clusters of large larkspur flowers blooming in a garden.

On both sides of the road, there are delivery trucks filled with smart bracelets. They don't have numbers when you pick them up; you have to wear them on your wrist and bind them to your own DNA code for a serial number to be displayed.

"I'm in 07-2095, what about you?" Hu Tu looked over after putting it on first.

Qiao Yuan immediately laughed and said, "I am 07-0087. It seems we are in good luck."

"Hahaha!" Hu Tu was very happy.

Unfortunately, Yan Baobao is number 01-0009, which means he's not in the same batch as Yan Baobao, so they can't climb the tower together.

She frowned slightly, then said seriously to Qiao Yuan, "Don't rush. Let others try and make mistakes first. Your Pioneer ability is photographic memory. Use it well, and reaching the thirtieth floor shouldn't be difficult."

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, baby, Hu Tu and I are together, we'll take care of each other."

At 9:20 a.m., they went to their respective towers after removing their phones and other devices, according to their assigned numbers.

Each tower houses a thousand people, a considerable number. Fortunately, the towers are spacious enough to be comparable to a stadium, so they are not crowded. Here, Qiao Yuan saw the arrogant blond boy with a credit score of 1507 from before.

The first layer in front of them was the contaminated zone of light beings from universe 06755, with patches of blinding white light radiating outwards.

According to the holographic screen projected from the ceiling, they need to find radiation-free passages in this simulated contaminated area; otherwise, if they are exposed to radiation, it will be considered a mistake, and they will be eliminated after accumulating three such instances.

But once you pass through, you can proceed to the second level.

The burly, martial arts expert slightly twisted his neck, and his bones cracked all over. He eagerly said, "Hehe, this is too childish. Hey, those who want to take shortcuts should learn from this and stop running around aimlessly."

The sickly-looking boy who walked through the tower gate yawned lazily: "Alright, the first place in the 07 batch, don't try to take it from me."

The blond youth immediately sneered, "You think you deserve to be number one? Don't make me laugh."

These guys are all second-tier students with credit scores exceeding 1,000, and they all intend to leave everyone else in the dust.

At that moment, the arrogant blond youth snorted coldly and charged straight in.

Qiao Yuan licked his lips with great interest.

The future! Launch!
