Chapter 299: Imperial Academy of Science and Technology

The beginning of Starfall Season 2 is different from Season 1.

The first three episodes of Season 1 had almost no OP, just boring dynamic starry sky scenes.

It wasn’t until Episode 4 that they had a separately produced OP.

Season 2 starts with its own OP.

However, the theme song is still from Season 1, and even the OP footage is a mix of Season 1 clips.

This made many viewers think it was ridiculous.

This Starfall clearly has so much budget that it even turns everyday episodes into big animation sequences, and even background characters who appear for only a few seconds are drawn extremely detailed.

But then you use this prefabricated OP to fob off the audience?

Are you really that satisfied with your lousy theme song?

Many viewers complained in their hearts, suspecting that there might be a Starfall staff member secretly embezzling funds.

Of course, complaints are complaints.

The audience has long been accustomed to the production team’s bizarre behavior.

A phenomenal anime’s second season without any promotion, pulling a surprise release—they even managed that.

What’s the harm in making a prefab OP to avoid spoiling the plot?

As long as the story quality and animation level match Season 1.

They can still blow up Season 2 with praise.

Barrages swept across the screen like a flood.

Some viewers watched, some skipped, and the OP of the first episode came to an end.

X3123 Galaxy.

The cradle of the Empire’s scientists.

This is where the Transcendent Department of the Imperial Institute of Technology is located.

Countless top scientists have come from here.

As one of the Empire’s ten great academies, the Imperial Institute of Technology is hailed as the cradle of the Empire’s scientists.

But aside from the Empire’s top-ranked Science Department.

The Imperial Institute of Technology, with its vast resources and top scientists, has also made considerable achievements in star energy users.

Although it is not as good as the Imperial Astral Academy, which specializes in star energy users and absorbed a large amount of Heavenly Eye Group legacy during wartime, or the National Defense Academy, which is led and fully supported by the Military Headquarters.

Its Transcendent Department still ranks among the top five among all academies in the Empire.

“I get it, Beijing University of Science and Technology and National Defense University of Science and Technology.”

“That’s right, 2333.”

“The setting must have been written by someone from the mainland, the sense of déjà vu is too strong.”

“The budget is still huge, this galaxy looks great.”

Especially the star energy technology that has gradually developed in recent years by combining supernatural star energy and biotechnology, which is the specialty of the Institute of Technology, hailed as a major scientific breakthrough and the new direction of the future.

Under these circumstances, a Transcendent Department teaching site occupying a galaxy seems rather unremarkable.

And if compared X3123 Galaxy to a college.

The artificial planet located in the central region of the galaxy—Truth Star.

That is the teaching building.

Because of convenient transportation and ample facilities, it is equivalent to the main teaching building of the college.

Almost 80% of courses and experiments are conducted on it.

The total number of Transcendent Department students and school staff stationed there is as high as one billion.

Dozens of detailed areas, further divided into respective zones according to race, supernatural ability type, and other factors.

“One billion? How many?”

“It’s the interstellar era, after all, C9.”

“Feels like it’s still a bit small.”

Except for external internships and internal project transfers, they almost never leave their respective areas.

Most trainees rarely even cross zones during their eight-year academy career.

At this moment, in Area A21 on Truth Star, on a rather spacious marble-like plaza.

Two trainees were walking quickly one after the other.

The one in front was a Lulu race mixed-blood female trainee with cat ears, whiskers at the corners of her mouth, and a face full of anger.

She had smooth blue hair that reached her heels.

Her skin was so white it seemed to glow, and her features were as delicate as a doll’s.

Even in the interstellar era where everyone is beautiful, she was a rare beautiful girl.

Among people with certain special fetishes, she was an even rarer sought-after treasure.

And closely following behind her was a handsome black-haired boy with rainbow-colored pupils.

“Are you… the one I can’t forget?”

“I’m seeing things, with that blue hair I thought it was Xiao Xi.”

“Rainbow-colored pupils?! It’s adapted from a domineering CEO web novel, right? Can we see a fan chart in his eyes?”

“Let me say one thing!”

“Blue Lulu! Granny Blue, you really are my dear granny, just listen to me for one sentence!”

The boy chased and shouted, his face full of helplessness.

“Lin Yun will definitely not see you today.”

“Ha!” The girl named Blue Lulu suddenly turned and huffed at the boy, “I don’t care, meow!”

“I don’t believe your words anymore, meow!”

“You’ve used this excuse a hundred times, meow! He hasn’t seen me for a hundred days straight, meow!”

“Yun is looking for grade four star energy metal. I don’t believe he won’t even meet me if I have this, meow.”

Blue Lulu took out a metal sphere from her pocket.

“I heard that Lin Yun—”

“Is Lin Yun Lin Zhen?”

“Wait, there’s a rich woman chasing Lin Yun?”

“Tsk, the protagonist’s romantic luck.”

“Lulu race? Reminds me of that cat-eared boy.”

“This feels a bit like a Lulu race version of Lao Xi, Haji Xi, right?”

“Grade four star energy metal?” The boy gasped. “Granny Blue, you really went all out.”

“Xiao Xi’s movements are as agile as a kitten’s.”

“Derrick, if you say that again, I’ll tear your mouth apart, meow! But today really…!”

Blue Lulu bared her teeth and raised her left hand.

Swish!

Sharp nails immediately grew out.

The boy named Derrick immediately smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Because he knew that if he tried to persuade her again.

Blue Lulu, this Lulu race miss who has been lawless since childhood, could really scratch his face with her cat claws.

But today is that day… it really won’t do.

Derrick sighed inwardly, he was really unlucky to be stuck between this pair of rivals.

Seeing Derrick silent, Blue Lulu snorted coldly, retracted her claws and the metal sphere, and using all four limbs, turned into a blue flash and disappeared from the plaza in an instant.

Seeing this, Derrick also tapped his foot, and the ground instantly acted like a trampoline, bouncing him a thousand meters into the air.

After gliding several kilometers in the air.

He landed from the air and saw Blue Lulu in front of an alloy building, pounding on the door forcefully.

“Lin Yun, open the door, Lin Yun open the door, meow—”

“Lin Yun, open the door, Lin Yun open the door, meow!”

“I brought you the star energy metal you wanted, meow! Come out and see me, meow!”

Blue Lulu lay against the thick alloy door, pounding again and again.

As she pounded.

Getting no response, she started scratching the alloy door with her claws.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The grating sound of metal scraping was painful to the ears, and Blue Lulu’s claws left scratches dozens of centimeters deep on the grade three alloy.

“This feels even more cat-like than the previous 0008.”

“No, using an iron door as a scratching post? The combat power in Season 2 is a bit high.”

“This catgirl is relentlessly chasing Lao Zhen. Could it be that Lao Zhen previously used her as a substitute for Lao Xi because of her fur color?”

“There’s even substitute romance?”

This little ancestor.

Derrick stood behind Blue Lulu, his mouth twitching from shock at her astonishing destructive ability.

He looked up, gave a helpless smile toward the door, and silently said to a boy who was surely using his supernatural power to secretly watch here.
