Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 292 World History
Although he knew Jin Ping'an knew nothing, Wang Zhenghao did not skip him when asking questions, but instead asked a common-sense historical question.

Fortunately, Jin Ping'an answered perfectly.

If Jin Pingan didn't even know when Lianyalian was established, Wang Zhenghao would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood.

The book returns to its true story.

This world has a history of nearly a thousand years, compared to Ai Liang's previous life.

They're not so much different as to be completely unrelated.

There is no Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing dynasty here, no Crusades, and no World War I or World War II.

More than a thousand years ago, in the year 820 AD, when Ai Liang first asked the question.

There was once a unified political system in the world that lasted for nearly a hundred years.

To be precise, the war for world unification had already begun around 500 AD.

After three hundred years of unification wars, a unified world government was formally established in 820 AD.

The current Asian Union and European Union are both products of the political division that occurred in 913 AD.

As for the Americas and Africa, they later separated from the two major political systems and became independent.

Meanwhile, the kingdom of Theogu in the Southern Hemisphere serves as proof that this unified political system once existed.

With current technology.

Logically speaking, uncovering past history shouldn't be a difficult task.

However, even now, there is no unified conclusion in the world regarding what happened in those four hundred years.

History textbooks of various political systems unanimously choose to gloss over that period of global unification.

In high school history textbooks.

That unification war, which lasted three hundred years, took up less than three pages.

After that, not only were the rulers' names unknown, but even the reign titles during their reigns were unclear.

This has even led to numerous extraterrestrial hypotheses or conspiracy theories about Earth being a testing ground.

All the major political systems adopted an attitude of "let them make a fuss, say whatever they want."

Neither denying nor admitting.

It's as if these arguments are being treated entirely as a collection of stories.

Only when an association or organization causes a great uproar and tries to force a change of government through this viewpoint will they show slight dissatisfaction and issue minor punishments, or slap someone to death.

The people were very understanding of the difficulties faced by the authorities, and over time, no one mentioned that period of history anymore.

However, no one at the official level dares to openly explore that period of history.

This does not mean that people cannot discuss interesting anecdotes and unofficial historical events from that era.

After all, every family has ancestors.

There will always be some families that have kept some ancient books passed down through generations.

As long as you don't intend to use this to achieve any special purpose or ulterior motives, it's fine to publish some articles occasionally.

The only problem is that the article will be subject to traffic restrictions.

Ai Liang realized that the history of this world was different from that of her previous life.

The first thing to do is to consult relevant historical materials.

He bought a lot of folk books, but the results were very disappointing.

The contents recorded in the ancient books are like those in tales of immortal cultivation and strange phenomena.

The most outrageous one of them almost made Ai Liang think that it was a novel written by the buyer himself, which was then artificially aged and sold as an antique book.

Because the contents are truly frightening.

The dancers of the Red Sleeves Pavilion may appear beautiful from afar, but in reality, they are incredibly strong.

What kind of Mingjing Division chief is he, who can control a person's soul and decide their life or death with a single glance?

What kind of secret guards and assassins are they? They are all tireless and immortal.

Ai Liang was terrified, thinking she had entered a fantasy world.

After testing the people around him, he confirmed that these were all complete nonsense.

This world is still dominated by technology; there are no extraordinary systems.

Ai Liang breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the news.

There was a hint of regret in his voice.

The desire for extraordinary power is a common aspiration for almost everyone.

However, Ai Liang didn't care too much. He was already very satisfied to be able to live a second life.

Although his family has some minor flaws, it won't prevent him from living a carefree life.

As it turns out, life is like drawing cards.

The more you want something, the less likely you are to get it.

When you take things easy, it will prepare a great gift for you.

Ai Liang awakened her superpowers at the age of five.

After that, he took the book out of the sealed cardboard box again.

It wasn't until this year, when Ai Liang read Gao Bin's memories and learned about the strange existence, that he finally understood.

That dynasty, whose records are unclear, once unified the world; it was probably mostly related to the supernatural.

Otherwise, relying solely on the technological level of over a thousand years ago would have been insufficient.

Even if a country were to unify the world by force, it would still be unable to govern it properly.

Putting aside other things, what if the Americas had experienced a famine back then, and the rulers were in Asia?

After local officials report up the chain of command, those at higher levels receive the information, formulate strategies, and then issue orders.

Most of the people are probably already dead.

Only the bizarre and other illogical things can achieve global integration.

However, there is still one thing that doesn't match up.

According to Gao Bin's recollection, the Asian Union Countermeasures Bureau was established in the last century.

If it truly existed in ancient times, it represents an era where the supernatural was rampant.

It's impossible for the Asian Union to be completely unaware of the supernatural.

But in fact, of the five major political systems, only Theo is excluded.

It's like they blacked out from drinking last night; they have no recollection of the strange presence at all.

And the eerie thing disappeared into the river of history at the same time that dynasty collapsed.

It was only in recent years that they returned to human view.

Ai Liang couldn't understand the complicated reasons behind it.

So he simply stopped thinking about it.

The feud between the five major political systems and the Apostles has nothing to do with Ai Liang.

Anyway, once he's powerful enough, he'll naturally find out when he wants to. Why bother investigating those things now?
On stage, Wang Zhenghao was still telling anecdotes about famous figures from ancient times.

Ai Liang felt a little bored.

Because of those things, he read a lot of them when he was a child in order to learn about history.

If we really compare them, even disregarding memory banks, Wang Zhenghao's knowledge reserves probably don't match Ai Liang's.

With nothing else to do, Ai Liang began practicing the application of telekinesis.

He used his telekinesis to count the maple trees along the main road of the campus, noting that a few leaves would fall every minute.

One by one, fiery red leaves, supported by Ai Liang's telekinesis, fell from the branches.

Before long, many maple leaves had fallen on the main road.

Ai Liang simulated a miniature whirlwind, swirling up all the fallen leaves, and then used telekinesis to precisely pierce through the selected maple leaf, leaving a hair-sized hole in it.

So back and forth.

Sometimes he would also use maple leaves to fold a few origami cranes.

Ai Liang's absent-mindedness was naturally noticed by Wang Zhenghao.

After all, he was sitting right under the teacher's nose, so it was hard not to notice him.

However, Wang Zhenghao did not name Ai Liang.

It's only been less than a month since the start of the semester, and everyone is still in the adjustment phase. Only someone without a brain would immediately worsen the teacher-student relationship.

For Wang Zhenghao, as long as your grades are good and you don't disrupt class, it doesn't matter whether you listen to the lecture or not.

He would only speak up to remind those who had poor grades and didn't pay attention in class.

The teacher gives a lecture, and the students listen.

Only Ai Liang used the leaves from the main road of the school to practice the fine manipulation of telekinesis.

Two hours later, the long break finally arrived.

After speaking for a full hour and a half, Wang Zhenghao picked up his water cup and left the classroom.

Students who hadn't yet adapted to this system, where a class lasted more than an hour, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qing, standing behind Ai Liang, was no exception.

"Ugh~ Haha~ I still can't get used to this kind of long class time."

Ye Qing crossed her arms above her head and stretched, then patted Ai Liang on the shoulder from behind: "It's amazing that you can sit still like that without moving an inch."

"It's okay, there are still three years, you can get used to it gradually."

Ai Liang still speaks in that way that's sure to choke you to death.

Ye Qing handed over the earphones she had used during morning reading: "You really are quite straightforward. Saying 'thank you for your hard work' at this time can really boost your popularity."

"Your favorability rating is useless."

Ai Liang took the earphones and said without turning her head.

"That's really going too far, A Liang."

Don't give it to me! You bastard!
Yi Wenna, standing behind Ye Qing, stomped her feet in anger.

At this moment, Cheng Lejia, the class monitor, took a test paper and went up to the podium before anyone left the classroom.

Instead of shouting, he used a stylus to write the words "Collect Homework" in large characters on the blackboard.

"Please pass your math test papers from yesterday to the student in front of you in turn. I need to grade them before noon today."

Cheng Lejia, holding up the test papers, said, "I'll be handing out school uniforms in a bit, so please try to move as quickly as possible."

Ye Qing looked somewhat worried: "I wonder if the school uniform is easy to wash."

"Generally speaking, shouldn't we prioritize whether it looks good or not?"

Ai Liang handed the collected test papers to Cheng Lejia, and when she returned, she overheard Ye Qing and Yi Wenna chatting.

"Hmph, I'm not an ordinary person. To be honest, I prefer sweatpants to skirts. They're more convenient for moving around. Anyway, I don't usually wear my school uniform out."

Ye Qing said with a proud expression.

"I don't want to wear a school uniform in the style of a tracksuit; it doesn't look good at all."

Evanna, who pays more attention to appearance, retorted.

Ye Qing couldn't help but complain, "It doesn't matter if it looks good or not, you wouldn't normally wear that anyway."

"You still have to wear it during the sports meet, right?"

Yi Wenna puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish and muttered softly.

Ye Qing placed her hand on Yi Wenna's head and rubbed it back and forth like she was rubbing a dog's head: "It's just a few days, and besides, good-looking people look good in anything."

"Well!"

Ye Qing's words immediately dispelled Yi Wenna's lingering emotions.

Like a Pomeranian, she squinted her eyes and peacefully enjoyed Ye Qing's petting.

"So, A Liang, which one do you prefer?" Ye Qing asked Ai Liang.

Hearing Ye Qing's affectionate way of addressing Ai Liang.

Yi Wenna's face looked like a rose ice cream that had been bitten by a dog.

One second she was beautiful as a flower, the next she was a complete mess.

She mentally glared at Ai Liang, then grimaced again.

"I don't care, the school doesn't have a rule that we have to wear it."

Ai Liang gave the most reasonable answer based on the student handbook.

Qianhua Experimental Middle School does not have strict requirements regarding dress code.

Except for sports meets, school uniforms are required for group activities such as all-teacher and student assemblies.

At other times, students can choose to wear school uniforms or their own clothes to school.

The papers were collected quickly.

Cheng Lejia and Jin Pingan left the classroom together.

When they returned, they were each carrying two oversized woven bags.

Facing the surging crowd, Cheng Lejia shouted, "These are summer school uniforms. Please don't push. Line up in a row so you can get them faster."

"Summer school uniforms, so there are winter ones too? I didn't expect the school to be so particular."

Ye Qing propped her cheeks up with her hands and smiled, "I just don't know what the school uniform will look like."

"This kind."

Ai Liang took out her phone and showed it to Ye Qing: "There are photos of students in school uniforms posted by previous students on the school forum."

"Wow, is this a V-neck knit sweater? It looks really nice."

Ye Qing tried to grab Ai Liang's hand and move the phone closer to look at it.

However, Ai Liang beat her to it and shoved the phone into Ye Qing's hand.

Yi Wenna, who was in the back seat, also got up and came over: "Hmm...not bad."

"Sports uniforms, knee-length skirts, shirts... Did we know our school has so many uniforms?"

Looking at the two or three outfits listed, Ye Qing was very satisfied.

Yi Wenna said with some regret, "I only have one T-shirt for summer..."

While the two were looking at past school uniform designs on their phones, Ai Liang went to the podium to line up and receive her school uniform.

While Ye Qing was still browsing other information on the forum, a video call interrupted her.

The caller ID picture is a cat, and the contact name is "Star and Moon".

Ye Qing and Yi Wenna looked at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at Ai Liang, who was about to receive her school uniform, Ye Qing hesitated whether to accept it or not.

Yi Wenna was secretly laughing to herself.

'Look at that profile picture and contact name. Calling at this time, it must be that guy's girlfriend, right?!'

"Haha, now that you know he has a girlfriend, you should finally give up!"

'Xiao Qing, hurry up and answer! Quickly see his true colors!'

Looking at Ye Qing, who was still hesitant to make up her mind, Yi Wenna suddenly felt a surge of malice.

She quietly reached for her phone, preparing to press the answer button.

Ye Qing seemed to have guessed Yi Wenna's thoughts.

With a snap, I grabbed that little hand.

"You can't just hang up the phone for someone else," Ye Qing said sternly.

Yi Wenna smiled and tried to break free from Ye Qing's grasp: "No, I just wanted to help him connect first. We can't just leave it like this forever."

But no matter how much Yi Wenna struggled, Ye Qing held her hand firmly.

"Really... but you clearly have a look on your face that says you want to watch the show."

Ye Qing looked at Yi Wenna with disdain.

She knew exactly what this girl was thinking.

They just wanted to see Ai Liang get his comeuppance and make him feel bad.

Not long after, Yang Xingyue realized that Ai Liang might not be there, and hung up the phone.

Ye Qing then released her grip on Yi Wenna's hand.

"Xiao Qing, can't you be a little gentler? My hands are all red from being squeezed."

Yi Wenna said with a mournful face while rubbing her wrist.

"You brought this on yourself."

Ye Qing rolled her eyes at her, annoyed.

Ai Liang returned to the two of them with the school uniform in hand: "What are you two doing?"

"Your friend called you."

Ye Qing handed the phone back to Ai Liang: "I didn't answer; the other end hung up on its own."
