Chapter 2: A Side of Heaven
This is your starship piloting instructor, Thomas, whose design prototype is inspired by a legendary pilot named Thomas from the last century
Su Xiang has finally gained some insight; the teaching staff equipped with this growth assistance device is undoubtedly vast and diverse, covering a wide array of subjects. Setting aside the conventional topics of astronomy and geography, there are even peculiar disciplines such as the appreciation of cosmic biology, the analysis of cosmic language and literature, and how to interact with extraterrestrials. In fact, there are a few teachers who resemble extraterrestrials like E.T.
This is the interior of the Growth Assistance Device, and you have already been shrunk, brother. This is the Dragon One residence, beautifully completed based on the renowned work "Ancient Year Rings" by the world-famous architectural designer Mr. Yan Yalun, primarily reflecting the architectural style of the twenty-first century
Su Xiang pressed the adhesive piece tightly with his right thumb, and in an instant, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, as if all thirty-six thousand pores were expressing one word—refreshing
This is your Jeet Kune Do instructor, Bruce Lee, whose design prototype is inspired by the martial arts master and kung fu superstar, Bruce Lee
Su Xiang quickly interjected, "Do piloting mechs and warships also require studying *books*?"
What, the human body is shrinking! Su Xiang's face was frozen in surprise and fear
"Is this the suction piece?" Su Xiang asked, pointing at a pure white crystal inlay on the growth assistance device.
It seems that the children in the future world have very heavy learning tasks! As Su Xiang casually observed the teachers introduced by Xiao Die, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
With a creaking sound, the door opened automatically, revealing a magnificent world beyond Su Xiang's imagination: the wooden floor exuding a long history, the grand crystal chandelier, the elegant paintings, and the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows. Everything was so graceful, so harmonious, noble yet not overly ostentatious
Yes, brother
This is your fitness coach, Zhang Qiang, whose design prototype is the gold medal fitness coach Zhang Qiang from the top fitness club in the universe
Su Xiang was unaware that in the future, the Tenglong Growth Assistant was specifically designed to cultivate heirs for the wealthy tycoons of the universe. Ordinary people simply do not have the means to purchase or use the Tenglong Growth Assistant. A standard version of the Tenglong Growth Assistant is worth an administrative star! It is absolutely unaffordable for those who are not prominent tycoons or influential figures. The Tenglong Growth Assistant he held, a super gold enhanced version, was specially customized by the richest person in the universe to train his grandson as an heir. This version, designed and completed by 137 experts from Tenglong Technology Co., Ltd. over seven years, is worth several hundred administrative stars! It is unique in the entire universe!
What? Mecha teacher? Starship piloting instructor?
This is your mech teacher, Ye Chong, whose design prototype is derived from an early 21st-century online novel "Legend of the Master"
This is your beautician, Miss Liu Rong. She has been designed based on the integration of over 300 renowned makeup artists, beauticians, stylists, and fashion designers from around the universe
Xiao Die ignored Su Xiang and continued to introduce the large teaching staff: "This is your golf coach... This is your basketball coach... This is your wine tasting instructor... This is your tea tasting instructor..."
"Could you let me eat first? I'm a bit hungry," Su Xiang said, scratching his head in embarrassment
This is your nutritionist and chef, Mr. Zhang Moyun. Mr. Zhang Moyun is the five-time culinary master of the Tenglong Cup Cosmic Culinary Grand Prix. He specializes in Chinese cuisine and has a profound understanding of the dishes from many ancient civilizations in the universe. A chubby man in a white lab coat bowed laboriously in front of Su Xiang and then suddenly disappeared.
Before Su Xiang could react, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic transformation. He found himself at the entrance of a magnificent and luxurious mansion, facing a grand golden door over three meters high. On the door was a soaring dragon, a larger version of the dragon depicted on the Dragon Growth Assistance Device. It was extraordinarily imposing, elegant, and noble. It is no exaggeration to say that this single door surpassed the majority of buildings in the world today.
This is your Tai Chi teacher, Zhang Sanfeng. His design prototype is derived from a well-known character in the martial arts novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" written by the famous author Jin Yong two thousand years ago
"Brother, please do not be nervous. We are currently conducting a human shrinkage allergy test, and you do not exhibit any allergic symptoms," Xiao Die quickly reassured.
Good brother, please hold down the suction pad of the growth assist device, and I will take you to dine
Xiao Die tirelessly introduced for over an hour before concluding: "Brother, the teacher has introduced the materials here, now please review the list of learning objectives"
Su Xiang was astonished to see the ethereal Zhang Sanfeng and the robust Bruce Lee, exclaiming repeatedly: the technology of the future is truly advanced, capable of bringing forth figures like Zhang Sanfeng and Bruce Lee!
Is this heaven?" Su Xiang gazed dreamily at everything in the room, murmuring to himself
"Is that really the case? What mechs or warships are there now? Is it useful to study these?" Su Xiang muttered in frustration
Alright. Su Xiang suddenly felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, quickly covering his nose to prevent himself from dying due to excessive blood loss
"Brother... can Xiaodie introduce you to the teacher assigned to you by the Growth Assistance Device?" Xiaodie smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks, which were quite charming
However, before Su Xiang had the chance to let out a refreshing moan, he was stunned by the scene before him—his body was bizarrely expanding and contracting. In one moment, it resembled an inflated balloon, and in the next, it appeared like a mere skeleton, with only skin clinging to bones. The rapid alternation between extreme expansion and extreme contraction was astonishing.
Hello, Young Master Su. A person who looked very much like a medieval European castle's housekeeper suddenly appeared before Su Xiang. After humbly bowing, they vanished in an instant, startling Su Xiang.
This is your karate instructor, Tang Qiang, whose design prototype is Mr. Tang Qiang, the champion of the Cosmic Karate Championship for two consecutive terms
"What place is this?" Su Xiang asked with some curiosity
Yes, brother, these are your required courses. Your mecha combat skills and starship piloting skills must reach an excellent level, as already established in the learning objectives said Xiaodie sweetly
Su Xiang's feelings of inferiority took hold of him, causing him to involuntarily step back. From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen such a magnificent and grand building.
Brother, please follow me. I will take you to bathe and change, and then we will have dinner. Little Die appeared silently beside Su Xiang, leading him towards the entrance.
This is your etiquette instructor, Miss Adriana. Adriana is the design prototype of the winner of the 17th Tenglong Cup Universal Etiquette Competition and is well-versed in the etiquette of one hundred thirty-eight ancient nations across the universe
... ...
It has been said that architecture is frozen music. Therefore, Su Xiang can guarantee that what lies before him is undoubtedly the most magnificent symphony in the world
