"Ladies and gentlen, ladies and gentlen, the footage you are currently watching cos from Qiankun City Satellite Launch Center, where our Huaguo TV Channel One and News Channel are bringing you a live broadcast of the launch site for the Charming No. 1 rocket, and the launch is just 2 hours away."
"As you can see, the audience on-site is brimming with enthusiasm, the crowd of onlookers is vast, and it's so packed over here we can barely move."
"However, this is understandable, since this is our first attempt at a manned space moon landing mission."
"After several decades, humanity has once again embarked on a journey of exploration to our only companion in the cold cosmos. At the sa ti, this marks the first realization of our Huaguo's thousand-year dream of landing on the moon, and everyone's feelings must be extrely excited."
"Now, let's randomly interview so of the audience mbers here on-site and see what they think about this moon landing mission."
"Hello there, young student?"
"Hi, sister!"
The one that appeared on the live television footage was an incredibly cute little girl with divine looks. As soon as she entered the fra, even the cara seed to beco cuter.
[Wow, what a cute girl!]
[She could be in the top ten classic shots]
[Is she a celebrity, hey]
[I was wondering where my daughter had gone off to; turns out she ran into Huaguo TV's fra]
"I'm just so excited right now, super excited!"
The girl waved to the cara with ease: "Mom! I'm on TV! Did you see ?"
[So cute, wahh, my wahh]
[Mom saw, mom saw, love you daughter MUA]
"Nuo Nuo, what's there for you to be excited about, don't you often appear on TV?"
A boy's voice erged from the fra.
At this mont, the boy's face flashed by, but it imdiately sparked intense discussion among netizens.
[My goodness, who's this handso kid? You guys really know how to pick interviewees]
[Can I adopt both the son and daughter?]
[They are grown up now, what do you still want to adopt]
[That's exactly why, because they've grown up, so there's no need to worry, haha]
After being scolded by the boy, the girl stuck out her tongue, made a cute little expression, scratched her head, and said with a laugh:
"Eh heh, I forgot about that... Sister Qiao En, Sister Qiao En, why don't you say a few words!"
", um... should I speak?"
The television cara revealed a girl who looked very plain, with braided pigtails and glasses. At this ti, the reporter also passed the microphone to her:
"May I ask, what do you think about the imminent launch and ascent of the Charming No. 1?"
"Uh, I'm, I'm just really excited."
"I hope that Charming No. 1 can successfully complete the moon landing mission... and at the sa ti, I also hope that next year, I can be admitted to my dream university!"
The young girl clenched her fists, seemingly making so form of resolution; it seed she also had fiery aspirations.
"It seems our student here is so invested in Charming No. 1 that she's willing to spare ti from her busy exam preparation to watch the rocket launch. The affection our nationals have for Charming No. 1 is clear for all to see. We also wish our student all the best for next year's exams, and hope she tops the charts with excellent results!"
"Th-thank you!"
Carrying the fervent hopes of Huaguo's people, the first moon landing saw three astronauts board the manned spacecraft, and Charming No. 1 was indeed the crystallization of Huaguo's aerospace technology developnt.
Being able to personally witness the flourishing prosperity of one's country naturally brings a sense of pride.
Fang You advanced to Growth Level 8 and unlocked a progress bar with a high of 500,000 Growth Energy, along with a brand new mission.
This mission targeted a goal related to academic advancent.
However, the mission specifically designated a school.
Even Fang You, who was quite well-read, knew very little about Zhendan Academy; it wasn't until this mission that he started to look up information about Zhendan Academy during his free ti riding the bus during the day.
Zhendan Academy is a full-ti, closed, private boarding school that advocates elitist education and managent, with a junior and senior high school division.
Although nominally a private high school, it essentially has close communications and cooperation with many universities and even many departnts of Huaguo, and is indeed one of the top high schools in the country.
But if you're talking about high school rankings, Zhendan Academy would definitely not be listed.
Because it does not participate in those rankings at all.
As for fa, it doesn't quite match that of renowned schools such as Hengshui High School and Jiangcheng Teacher's Affiliated High School.
What is widely known, though, is that each student of Zhendan Academy is rigorously assessed and carefully selected, since there are only 100 spots for new students each year, and just the portfolio submission phase can weed out a large number of unqualified students.
However, the children who receive their diploma from Zhendan Academy are all quite remarkable. After graduating from the school, so beco world-famous authors, so are entertainnt divas, and so turn into financial tycoons, becoming influential figures in their fields.
For instance, the chief designer of this moon landing project is also an alumnus of Zhendan Academy.
This ans that gaining admission to Zhendan Academy could give Emperor Youyou the chance to et peers with SS-level Talent everywhere, and better connect with many powerful figures.
Naturally, for Emperor Youyou, furthering his education at such a school would bring nurous benefits.
His goal had always been to reach the pinnacle of humanity, so naturally, he took a keen interest in experiencing the diversity of the human species.
However...
Watching Xia Nuo frolicking and showing off in front of the cara, it would be dishonest to say Fang You wasn't worried.
Even though he had arrogantly said before that Emperor Youyou wouldn't wait for anyone, and that others had to catch up on their own.
But if Nuo Nuo needed help, he was still willing to give her a push from behind.
After all, Zhendan Academy shouldn't be purely focused on academic achievents; they must be assessing overall proficiency, which ans Nuo Nuo should still have a chance.
Of course... Nuo Nuo's own opinion is also very important.
Entering that school would an she could no longer stay by her parents' sides and would have to start living with dorm roommates.
The academic pressure and the pressure of achieving in all aspects of academy life would probably be imnse. For Nuo Nuo, that kind of life might not be what she aspires to.
In any case, Fang You wouldn't force anyone to do sothing they didn't want to do.

The good thing is, the academy has a strict age requirent, only admitting youths over the age of 12, aning he didn't need to rush to skip grades.
Not that skipping grades would be of any use.
There are still three years left, so he'll just do his research slowly and see...
After the interview ended, everyone chatted and laughed, talking about the teor shower observed last night, the funny incident of catching the Moon Divine Beast Paru, and the scene of cheering for Su Mumu during the day.
Fang You noticed that his dad, Fang Guanghui, seed to have changed a bit after watching the teor shower.
He had beco more reticent.
...
Was it because he was left out last night, busy whispering with Nuo Nuo, and it hurt him a bit too much?
"Youyou, Dad wants to discuss sothing with you, well, it's not really a discussion."
"What is it..."
"After this outing, comparing myself to Uncle Xia's abilities, your dad has deeply realized his own uselessness."
Fang Guanghui said earnestly, "Even though I've always relied on Youyou, there will co a day when you will leave my side. I need to learn to be independent and grow on my own. I wasn't so bad before you ca along, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to win over your mom, right?"
"Ah, Dad, you don't need to prove anything..."
"Don't try to persuade , Youyou, I've made up my mind, and my heart won't be swayed by anyone else."
Fang Guanghui pursed his lips, his gaze steadfast, "Everyone has to grow up eventually. I'm already over 30 years old; I can't always be a child who never grows up. I have to let you all see, let Uncle Xia see, that I, Fang Guanghui, can also beco a remarkable adult."
...
These words... why do they sound so familiar?
It's so strange.
Fang You fell silent for a long mont, then lifted his head to ask, "So, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
"Are you planning to deepen your path as a civil servant, to make progress, work hard, and strive for a promotion? If you're aiming for a departnt head position, your current job is too leisurely; you might need a lateral transfer to another grass-roots or administrative position to strive."
"But you might be a bit too old for that... Or are you actually planning to start a business? If so, have you researched and prepared any industries to enter? If it's none of this, I guess you might want to beco an independent Paru Trainer?"
"But to win, you can't be fixated on beliefs, and turning a hobby into work can also be very painful. I think..."
Seeing Fang You continuing non-stop, Fang Guanghui seed a bit anxious.
"Ah? That fast... don't be in such a hurry to push , I just have the determination; I haven't decided what to do yet!"
"..."
This is my dad.
Fang You sighed helplessly.
Two hours later, as the sky grew dark.
Over the launch pad, the broadcast carried a clear and firm countdown command: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition!"
In an instant, roaring flas erupted from the base of the rocket, and with a deafening roar, a powerful thrust freed the rocket from its bonds, breaking the chains of Earth's gravity. Flas filled the night sky, illuminating the darkness like a gigantic dragon soaring upward, leaving behind a dazzling trail.
Thousands of spectators at the viewing platform, at a safe distance, either through telescopes or by looking directly at the heavens, witnessed this historic mont. The children cheered excitedly, while the adults watched this awe-inspiring scene, with many moved to tears of excitent.
As the rocket climbed higher, it beca a smaller and smaller point of light in the sky until it rged with the sea of stars.
"Youyou, I'm telling you!"
Xia Nuo stretched out her hand along the trajectory of the rocket's ascent, smiling at Fang You as she said:
"We should also ride a rocket like this to the moon together in the future, okay?"
"Okay."
Fang You nodded, "No problem."
