Happy New Year Everyone.

Chapter 189 [ ]: The city lord invites the family to return

The students who survived the disaster were reunited with their families.

On the other side, the big guys from the Sanik Adventure Group were standing together, but no one around them dared to get close.

Either a Holy King or a King, the sense of oppression is too strong.

Especially Xiong Er and the werewolf Roland, they were burly, as strong as a mountain of meat, more than six meters tall, with bulging muscles all over their bodies and a fierce look.

Just looking at such a giant beast from a distance makes one feel tremendous pressure and tremble inside.

Let alone get close to them.

Even Shi Yanxin and others did not contact these powerful people without authorization.

Not that I was afraid.

It's because these people's identities are unknown and their details are unclear. Although the other party rescued the students in distress, it cannot be concluded that they are friends rather than enemies based on this alone.

"Didn't you say there were eight?" Shi Yanxin asked Wei'er in a low voice, "Is there one person who hasn't come out yet?"

"Well...that senior's situation is a bit special." Weier hesitated, not knowing how to explain it to her.

"special?"

Shi Yanxin was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, suddenly, there was a loud "rumbling" sound in his ears.

A huge hand that covered the sky and the sun stretched out from the mouth of the crack and grabbed the edge of the crack.

How big is this hand?

Each finger is several meters long.

It was like a devil's hand protruding from the abyss, shocking everyone present.

"Everyone, please step back. Please give way and make some space." Xiong Er said to everyone in a rich voice, "You are so close, it is not convenient for my brother, the Dragon God, to come out."

Hearing this, everyone reacted.

Members of the Internal Guard and the Public Security Department quickly retreated dozens of meters, reserving the entire playground space.

boom!

The next moment, another giant palm stretched out.

Both hands clasped the left and right edges of the crack, and then there was a roar like a dragon's roar. The muscles of the giant's body bulged and he tore it apart with all his strength.

There was just a sound of cracking silk, and the crack was torn open like a fragile piece of cloth under such terrifying power, forming a huge gap more than two hundred meters high!

Bang, bang, bang…

The giant, who was over 100 meters tall, raised his legs and stepped out of the crack. Every time he took a gentle step, the earth made a muffled sound, and it felt as if a giant hammer was hitting everyone's heart, causing a strong sense of suffocation. !

Huchi~

The dragon wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun.

His body is like a towering and majestic mountain, so powerful and domineering that all living beings look up to him.

"this…"

Shi Yanxin raised her head and looked up at the 100-meter giant, with a look of horror in her beautiful eyes.

This is a holy king!

Moreover, the tyranny of his life aura far exceeds that of ordinary holy kings.

He is most likely a peak Saint King, and he is only one step away from entering the Emperor's realm!

This is definitely a real boss.

"This is Senior Dragon God." Weier comforted her, "Senior is not a bad person. We can come out alive thanks to him. When we were in the rift before, Senior Dragon God single-handedly killed a Holy King. The giant ape at its peak level has just conquered the rift."

Hiss~

Hearing this, everyone gasped and couldn't help but show a look of awe.

Being able to kill the giant ape at the peak of the Holy King means that he also has the fighting power of the Holy King!

"0c...No, Xi, can you find the information on these people?"

Shi Yanxin came to her senses, took a deep breath, then regained her composure, turned on the communication device and asked Jinghaicheng's super artificial intelligence.

[Although it has been a long time, I have found some relevant information from the People's League archives of the Adventurers Association. The Sanic Adventure Group did exist in history, but there was only a short time between the registration and the disappearance of the adventure group. Time, combined with the description of the parties, it is extremely unlikely that they lied. 】——Xi responded immediately.

Phew~

Shi Yanxin breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Xi has said so, it proves that there is a high probability that there is no problem with the identities of Long Shen and Xiong Er.

As long as we can find out, everything will be easy to tell. I am afraid of the kind of guy whose background is unclear and who is terrifyingly strong.

The eight members of the Sanik Adventure Group are all super strong.

How had the small Jinghaicheng ever been so full of dragons and crouching tigers?

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Dragon God and the others have evil intentions towards Jinghai City, then Jinghai will have no way to deal with such powerful enemies except activating the "Giant Hero".

Xi is artificial intelligence and a tool. It cannot lie.

Of course Shi Yanxin chose to believe it.

But she didn't know that Xi didn't check the information at all. It was cooperating with Lu Xun in acting and deceiving Shi Yanxin.

Because its highest order is to serve Lu Xun personally!

In Xi's judgment, Lu Xun's interests outweigh everything else and are irreplaceable.

…

Shi Yanxin reported the situation to the city lord.

Soon, she hung up the phone.

Then he walked up to everyone in the Sanik Adventure Group and said respectfully:

"Seniors, you have been trapped for thousands of years. It is a joy to see the light of day again. Seniors, please move to the City Lord's Mansion. We have prepared a sumptuous dinner. Don't refuse."

Although Jinghai City is small and dilapidated, there are still places for entertaining foreign guests.

Even for a "big guy" like Senior Dragon God, there would be no trouble. The People's Federation official had already considered similar situations.

Only by integrating with international standards can we develop our economy better.

If we can’t even entertain foreign guests, then there’s no point in the Human Alliance.

Compared to the grand banquet of the Ten Thousand Races, this is nothing, and we can handle it completely.

Hearing this, the eight members of the adventure group looked at each other, and after a brief discussion, the leader Sanik finally came forward, nodded, and accepted the invitation.

According to convention, if the pioneering group conquers the rift, it will be a great achievement!

Only after the successful reclamation can the construction team be arranged to enter the rift for mining and excavation.

If Lu Xun didn’t take action, Jinghai City would have to spend a lot of money to conquer this rift.

Not only would many people have to be sacrificed, but also money would have to be lost.

Now it doesn’t have to.

The "Sanik Adventure Group" directly helped Jinghai City to solve all obstacles, allowing them to pick up the ready-made goods.

It would be unreasonable if the city lord didn’t express his gratitude for such a great achievement.

Rewards such as money don’t matter.

But Lu Xun wanted something else.

For example, through the ruler of Jinghai City, the Sanik Adventure Group was officially recognized by the Human Union.

As long as the city lord opens a back door, the legitimacy of the puppets' identities will be completely stable and unshakable.

It will be more convenient to travel around the world in the future.

After all, ordinary puppets are okay, but the Saint King-level puppets are really exaggerated. So many strong people suddenly appeared, even if Xi was covering them, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Don't say "Heroes don't ask where they come from" and "Masters are among the people."

This is a world where all races stand side by side and the weak are preyed upon by the strong.

This is an era where all the strong are showing off their muscles.

No matter how much you whitewash the peace, you must admit that this is a chaotic world!

Only a few big countries and strong races are relatively peaceful.

In most places on this planet, conflicts, conspiracies, and wars have never stopped.

You must show your muscles so that you won't be bullied.

Lu Xun's puppets, who obviously have powerful strength, are not famous at all, which is very strange in itself.

The best way for the puppets to step onto the world stage openly is to obtain official recognition from the big forces.

After showing up in the Human Union, the identity problem can be truly solved.

"Then please lead the way, young lady." Leader Sanik said to Shi Yanxin.

"Okay, seniors, please wait."

Shi Yanxin said respectfully, then turned her eyes to Wei'er, Wu'er, and Lu Xun, and also issued an invitation:

"The Lord of the City knows what happened, and the three classmates also contributed. Especially Lu Xun, you used your knowledge to save everyone, you are worthy of being a genius boy. The Lord of the City also invited the three of you, let's go to the banquet together."

...

So, Lu Xun, Wu'er and Wei'er were also taken to the City Lord's Mansion.

At the dinner, the City Lord showed up.

Qiu Yaoyang, a middle-aged man, exuded the temperament of a superior in every move.

The highest authority in Jinghai City rarely appears in public.

This time, a special banquet was held to invite those who have made contributions.

Qiu Yaoyang spoke in an official tone as soon as he came up, greeting the eight people from the Sanik Adventure Group.

As for the three high school students next to him, they felt like outsiders.

The city lord simply greeted the three people, and then continued to chat enthusiastically with Long Shen and others.

The wine flowed, and it was a pity that we met too late.

"Brother Lu, the three of us seem to be here to make up the numbers." Wu Er was a little dissatisfied, and whispered to Lu Xun, "The city lord's mind is all on the seniors, and he doesn't care about us. I can see that he invited us here to serve as a foil."

Lu Xun heard this, his face calm, and lowered his voice: "What else? We are just small people, it's good to be able to sit at this table."

Wei Er also joined the channel and whispered to the two classmates:

"I don't like this kind of occasion very much, but I am happy to be idle. We will resign on our own later. The city lord should also hope that we will leave on our own."

"Yeah."

Lu Xun nodded.

Suddenly I felt a little tired of acting.

While talking to Wuer and Weier, he also had to deal with the old-fashioned city lord.

These superiors spoke too obscurely, never speaking directly, and often a simple sentence could hide several layers of meaning, probing a little bit.

Lu Xun hated this kind of official language.

It reminded him of his previous life. When he first entered the workplace, he once went to report to his leader. During the period, the leader's mobile phone rang. He answered the call, said a few "hmm" and hung up.

A week later, Lu Xun was inexplicably bullied.

He thought about it for a month, but he didn't figure out where he had offended the leader.

Until he went to ask a senior, the other party asked some details such as the leader's eyes, expressions, and movements, and then he said it in one word.

It turned out that when the leader answered the phone, he didn't find an excuse like "going to the toilet" and took the initiative to avoid it!

It was a private call.

The leader hinted Lu Xun to go out with a very obscure look, but it was too obscure, and Lu Xun didn't understand.

The other party didn't say it clearly, just said a few "hmm" and hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, the leader still looked friendly and continued to work, but in fact he had already secretly held a grudge.

Either you are not smart, or you are deliberately challenging his authority.

In either case, they have enough reasons to deal with you.

Therefore, when dealing with these people, you must be very alert, otherwise you will fall into a trap if you are not careful.

...

Fortunately, it is all past events.

Now that he has the ability to read minds, he can handle these things with ease.

Regardless of how obscure the other person's words are or how deep the city is, Lu Xun can clearly understand the other person's inner thoughts by directly reading his mind.

Naturally, you will know how to deal with it.

Even Qiu Yaoyang was very surprised. The city lord was in a good mood. The more he talked, the happier he became. It felt like he had met a close friend!

Who says a soulmate is hard to find? There are eight on this table!

Soon, Lu Xun saw that the time was almost up and settled the matter of the puppets' identities.

It lost contact with the outside world for 1,400 years. After reappearing, the world has already changed, and things have changed.

Qiu Yaoyang waved his hand and said that it was all a small matter and that you are all friends of the People's Federation!

He even directly called his secretary and registered new identities for everyone in the adventure group on the spot. He also labeled them as "foreign guests" and "international friends" and gave them permanent residence rights in Jinghaicheng.

Making friends with a group of strong people is also of great benefit to Qiu Yaoyang.

"Ahem, City Lord, it's getting late, please allow the three of us to say goodbye."

Ur, Wei'er, and Lu Xun stood up and excused themselves.

As they expected, although they were all meritorious people, the city lord didn't care much about the three of them.

A genius appraiser and two international students may indeed be extraordinary compared to ordinary people. But compared to the big shots in the Sanik Adventure Group, the status of the three seems too insignificant.

"Ahem, Secretary Liu, take three guests to receive the reward, and then arrange for someone to take them home. Don't neglect the guests." Qiu Yaoyang told the secretary in a pleasant manner. After finishing, he continued to talk to Xiong Er and others, then played music and danced. .

Lu Xun and the other three left with Secretary Liu.

The so-called reward is five million in cash per person and a certificate of honor.

The certificate states their experience in opening up wasteland and fissures, proving that they have contributed to the development of Jinghai City.

This is a highly valuable resume that will definitely be helpful in finding a job and taking public exams in the future.

But the problem is that Ur and Weier are both international students, and they will not stay in the People's Federation after they graduate.

And Lu Xun...does he still need to find a job?

Ur stood at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the certificate of honor in his hand speechlessly, wanting to throw it into the trash can next to him.

But after thinking about it, I decided to stay.

After all, his academic performance is so poor, so it would be nice to have a certificate to show off his appearance, so as not to receive a severe punishment when he returns to the Necron Tribe during the holidays.

Submitting the transcripts and certificates together can be regarded as outweighing the merits and demerits, right?

"It's so boring. Let's go home." Wu Er turned to Lu Xun and asked, "Brother Lu, do you want to go to my house to play? Come play games with me."

Lu Xun shrugged: "I still have things to do, you can play by yourself."

"Things? Oh, yes, your family went on a trip before. Are you going back to Jinghai tonight?" Wuer then remembered that Brother Lu had mentioned this matter to him.

"Well, if the plane is not delayed, it will arrive in an hour." Lu Xun replied, glancing at Wei'er and Wu'er, "No more, I'm going to the airport first, let Secretary Liu take you two home. "

"Classmate Lu, please be careful on the road and pay attention to safety." Classmate Wei'er said with concern.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Lu Xun waved his hand, then got into the special car that Xi had prepared on the side of the road, and went straight to the airport.

He hadn't seen his aunt and the others for a week, and he still missed them.
