Unlike the depictions in books or movies, where Jiang Cheng would have a three-hundred-round battle with the local martial arts experts of the Ah District, it all unfolded quite differently in reality. Jiang Cheng effortlessly overwhelmed those from the Net Three District; it wasn't thrilling at all. Jiang Shu just moved a few fingers, and they were already down.

Impatient to teach the Ah District a lesson, Jiang Cheng quickly finished his task, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. To keep himself entertained, he launched all of Ah District's Lotus weapons into outer space.

The Hua Family District had already gained absolute dominance, and the fight's outcome was completely one-sided. Jiang Cheng found it too dull, so he dropped out of the fight to even the ground.

The result of this fight was the disintegration of the defeated Ah District, with its autonomous regions declaring independence one after another. Originally, the reasonably substantial Tong San District splintered into more than a dozen different Qu Family areas, and their millennium-old history was extinguished just like that.

Therefore, when the little girl said she went to the Hua Family District to study because of its long-standing history, Jiang Cheng wasn't surprised at all. It was so expected, it was only natural.

After learning that the little girl's name was You Mei and that she came from Akse Planet, Jiang Cheng grinned at her, saying, "Having eaten your meal, I ought to show my gratitude, but as you know, I am currently empty-handed.

The little girl smiled, "The great Water Ball Guardian, a defender of order, wouldn't carry a wallet wherever he goes. Besides,

She looked at Jiang Cheng, and Mr. Jiang noticed a familiar glint in her eyes and started to feel a headache coming on.

Indeed, the little girl's face was full of admiration, and once others around him learned of his identity, they inevitably wore the same expression.

For some, fame is enjoyable, but for others, it's a burden. Jiang Cheng belonged to the latter group.

His immense reputation brought many inconveniences. For instance, if he wanted to enjoy some fresh seafood at a roadside stall without some disguise, in just a short while, reporters would rush over. And even before they arrived, if anyone in the dining crowd at Zhou Tian recognized him, it would trigger a cascade of people snapping pictures or videos on their phones.

Jiang Cheng really found this feeling annoying. He just wanted to eat a meal, yet why was he not allowed peace even while dining? He wasn't some rare and exotic creature from the Animal District. At least, externally, he looked no different from the people of the Hua Family District around him, just a bit taller and more handsome.

Furthermore, recently, a prestigious university in Whitehead District invited him to give a lecture related to the cosmos. Jiang Cheng strongly supported education. After all, knowledge could change a person's destiny, and sharing his insights to help those in need was a deeply fulfilling experience.

Hence, Jiang Cheng would always make time for invitations relating to education and science and attend them with delight.

There was nothing much to say about this. It was just a university inviting a celebrity to give a lecture.

When Jiang Cheng arrived at the conference room of the school, a few silver-haired professors were discussing something. They too were guests on this program.

Initially, they paid little attention to the young Jiang Cheng and even slightly underestimated him. After all, in education and technology, sometimes age could indicate something.

Jiang Cheng sat by himself on a couch in the corner, looking at the documents arranged by the organizers.

Then, the host entered. The chance to meet this legendary Water Ball figure evidently made him excited, leaving other professors puzzled as to why the host was so agitated. Considering the host had considerable fame as well, his lectures always drew many participants, including almost every famous scholarly figure, even icons in certain fields. The host, though handsome and slightly aloof, seemed ordinary to the eyes of those who valued academic achievement over appearance.

Therefore, it was natural for them to express confusion over the host's excitement.

When the host, overwhelmed with excitement, introduced Jiang Cheng to the professors, his voice was still trembling.

As the following situation unfolded, Jiang Cheng once again became annoyed by the fame that followed him.

Once the professors realized who this young man was, they could no longer stay seated. Instead, they stood respectfully before Jiang Cheng, asking him about cosmic knowledge, seizing the opportunity to voice long-held, unanswered questions in hopes of receiving Jiang Cheng's guidance.

Even though Jiang Cheng repeatedly invited them to sit down, we know that the elderly tend to be insistent, and these professors, being older and renowned in academics, weren't short of stubbornness. If they weren't stubborn, it's hard to say whether they could have achieved great success in their fields. Consequently, Jiang Cheng had to allow these senior professors to stand beside him. Even as he stood a few times himself, he was strongly urged to sit back down. Those professors claimed they were mere students seeking guidance from a teacher and should not be sitting.

This left Jiang Cheng in an awkward position. Although their interaction was pleasant, with the professors especially thrilled as Jiang Cheng cleared their doubts, he still wished they would be seated, making him happier.

This is how Jiang Cheng viewed fame: everyone cannot imagine how much he wished others would treat him like an ordinary person or, at most, a moderately famous one. He would be truly grateful for that.

Unfortunately, his wish was never fulfilled.

So when You Mei, the girl from Tongkese Planet, again revealed that expression of admiration, Jiang Cheng felt quite the headache.

His first thought was to escape.

Whether great like Jiang Cheng or other Yintong people, when they felt uncomfortable around certain individuals, their thoughts often aligned with Jiang Cheng's: to avoid.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng thought the same.

Since he already knew the girl's name and had exchanged pleasantries with her, he expressed appropriately that, although he couldn't repay her sumptuous breakfast right now, Jiang Cheng promised that whenever he was at home on Water Ball, the girl named You Mei was welcome to visit him anytime.
