Eternal Night

Chapter 323: Learned the arts of literature and martial arts, and sold them to the emperor

Wu Xianxiao brought Jiujiu and Daphne to the dream world of salvation. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw that the town was crowded with people.

This is not an exaggeration. The entrance to the town has been rebuilt and looks a bit like the highway toll station scene in the 21st century that Wu Xianxiao knew, except that it was much more technologically advanced. There were people on both sides of the streets inside. Although it was not crowded, it was a rare scene of human concentration in the 29th century.

"…Have they all returned from the dream world? Or have more maintenance personnel been awakened?"

Wu Xianxiao was surprised. He was queuing at the entrance, and there were still those remote-controlled patrol robots around. However, when he appeared, these robots stayed away from him, obviously having recognized who he was.

Hearing Wu Xianxiao's mumbling, the verifier at the entrance immediately smiled respectfully and said, "Both. After all, it is a decree of the unified human government issued by the mastermind. If you don't come back, the highest punishment is a reduction in your job title, which is unacceptable."

Wu Xianxiao turned his face to the scanner and asked, "Do you know me?"

The verifier immediately said, "Of course, Mr. Wu, you are a presidential candidate, of course I know you."

Wu Xianxiao nodded, and the scan verification was completed in a few seconds. He then walked from the entrance towards the Gaochang Gong Guild Building.

After he walked in, people around him would subconsciously bow their heads slightly in salute as soon as they saw him. Although they didn't say anything to him or show any other expression, this alone made Wu Xianxiao feel different... some kind of difference of power being in front of him.

This made him feel a little unhappy, but the actions of others were their own behavior, the values ​​​​brought to them by the unified government of mankind in the 29th century, and respect for his status as a presidential candidate. Although he would be unhappy, he had no power to stop others from doing so, so he could only keep his head down and move forward, trying not to look at these people as much as possible.

Just after he walked in for about a minute, he suddenly felt something in his heart. When he looked up, he saw a flash of goose yellow light coming from the distance. Before he could react, a soft body crashed into his arms.

"荍蜉..."

"Snapped!"

Before a soft voice could finish its words, he had already raised his hand and slapped it away, crashing into a building on the street in a parabola. Everyone saw that this person seemed to be stuck to the wall of the building, and the entire building slowly turned into powder in an incredible way, instead of crashing straight in and creating a gap. This phenomenon stunned everyone around, and then they immediately subconsciously moved away from the building, as well as away from Wu Xianxiao who was standing in the crowd.

"...Amazing, is this also extraordinary?"

"It's definitely not a high-tech weapon. Because of the previous assassination of the presidential candidate, all weapons above Gauss level are now prohibited from being brought into the town."

"I really misjudged him. When I saw this presidential candidate before, I thought he was weak..."

"To be honest, I still think he's very weak. I feel like I can slap him away with one blow."

Wu Xianxiao's face turned a little dark, but he didn't say much. He just looked at the person who was sitting in front of the ball of powder.

The person who came was an acquaintance...Hao Cheng.

He was wearing a casual, goose yellow outfit, which made him look neutral and slightly masculine, and his features also showed neutral features. He could be called a man or a woman, but at least he was much better than the stunning beauty he appeared in Castlevania.

Although still petite...

But this is not the point. The point is the effect of this attack...

When Wu Xianxiao delivered this slap just now, he obviously used soft force and applied the technique of hitting a bull from behind a mountain. It definitely wouldn't hurt anyone, but it definitely wouldn't cause the effect of directly turning a building into powder, unless he directly used the Immortal Instant Thousand Strikes to attack the building, so... is this the effect after a common man's improvement?

Real harm?

If this is really the effect of real damage, then the improvement in the title of this man is even greater than he expected.

At this moment, Hao Cheng shook his head violently, he immediately stood up, patted the dust off his body, and then he smiled bitterly. His expression and movements changed. Although his figure and appearance did not change, people suddenly saw him as a male instead of a neutral one, and there would be no misunderstanding anymore.

"I'm sorry, Wu Xianxiao, I can't control myself." Hao Cheng said to Wu Xianxiao with a wry smile.

Before Wu Xianxiao could say anything, three people came running over from a distance, two men and one woman. They hurriedly got out of the crowd and saw that Wu Xianxiao and Hao Cheng were both intact. They then breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they saw the powder behind Hao Cheng, the pupils of the three of them shrank slightly.

The leading man walked up to Wu Xianxiao and said, "Mr. Wu Xianxiao, thank you for saving my life. By the way, we are Hao Cheng's teammates and we are trapped in the demon world."

Wu Xianxiao looked at the three people. The man in the lead had an ordinary appearance, a dull complexion, and wore a pair of plain glasses. Behind him was a man and a woman. The man was rough and tall, while the woman was tall and ugly. The man in the lead looked around and said to Wu Xianxiao, "Mr. Wu, we are now staying in Mr. Gao Changgong's guild hall. I heard that you and Mr. Gao Changgong are also acquaintances. How about we go there to talk?"

Wu Xianxiao naturally agreed. Putting aside his... ill-fated relationship with Hao Cheng, he was also very curious and admired Hao Cheng's captain.

At that moment, everyone left the area, leaving behind a large group of people chatting about the strange things that happened here.

At the same time, the news of Wu Xianxiao's arrival was quickly spread to the ears of all the major forces in the Land of Redemption.

"I am Chu Yuyan. Thank you again, Mr. Wu, for saving my life."

When they arrived at the guild hall, Gao Changgong was not there, but Wu Xianxiao was an acquaintance here, so he was naturally allowed in. He did not hesitate to take Hao Cheng and his team members to a reception room. After everyone was seated and someone offered them drinks, Hao Cheng's team leader, a man named Chu Yuyan, immediately stood up and bowed, and the other three did the same thing.

Wu Xianxiao accepted their thanks frankly, then Chu Yuyan smiled and took the other three people to sit down again. He immediately said, "I am ashamed. I was arrogant. After my teammates and I won the title, we planned to venture into the 0.6 dream world. After some planning, we set up a shelter in the Demon City Dream World and managed it. I felt that I was extraordinary. After integrating and investigating some information, we confirmed the location of the Demon Realm and wanted to completely conquer the Demon City Dream World. In the end, we were trapped and died in it. If Mr. Wu hadn't come here by driving the world, I'm afraid we would have become nutrients for the Demon City Dream World."

Wu Xianxiao took a sip of the drink, and then something occurred to him, so he asked, "Is your last name Chu?"

Chu Yuyan smiled lightly and said, "Yes, my last name is Chu. I am a distant cousin of the current president Chu Minghao. I am also a member of the eleven Chu families, but I am a distant relative and cannot be considered a direct descendant."

But they are still members of the eleven families. Wu Xianxiao recalled in his mind and thought of Chu Minghao, Xu Shilan, Xu Shilan's cousin Xu Ruonan, and several other presidential candidates he had met. He felt that these eleven families really had a solid foundation, as if any one of them was a hero.

“It’s genetic debugging.”

Chu Yuyan smiled and said, "It seems that the eleven families are full of talents, but this is actually the result of genetic adjustment, and it is the result of long-term genetic adjustment. In fact, the birth rate of newborns in the eleven families is very low, which is in line with the characteristics of life. The stronger the life, the lower the reproduction rate. The lessons learned from the Blue Period also made the eleven families dare not increase the birth rate while increasing the elite rate. In addition, several families practice intra-clan marriage, which is actually inhumane. We are far from being as glamorous as Mr. Wu thinks."

Wu Xianxiao looked at Chu Yuyan in surprise. He hadn't spoken a word just now, but was just thinking about it. Could it be that Chu Yuyan also had...

"No, I don't have a super brain."

Chu Yuyan shook his head and said, "Super Brain cannot be inherited through genes or anything else. Its mechanism of appearance is still unclear. Even if Chu Minghao has a super brain, it does not mean that the Chu family has a super brain. In fact, from the Azure Period to the end of the Fourth War, there were only two special cases among the eleven families: Chu Minghao and Xu Wanfang."

Wu Xianxiao stopped talking and just looked at Chu Yuyan silently.

Chu Yuyan smiled calmly and said, "Yes, that's right. I was trying to guess what Mr. Wu was thinking at the moment, and I was also trying to show myself. After all, I have to learn both literary and martial arts and serve the emperor. This is my first time meeting Mr. Wu, so I naturally have to show myself as much as possible."

Wu Xianxiao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Yuyan still had this indifferent smile on his face. He said, "My team member Hao Cheng is an acquaintance of Mr. Wu, which is a good relationship. Mr. Wu also saved my life and the lives of my teammates. Without a doubt, this is a great favor. Not only do I want to repay the favor, but I also hope to have more exchanges and cooperation with Mr. Wu. At the same time, the initiator and core of the operation to rescue Chu Minghao is undoubtedly Mr. Wu. So both privately and publicly, I hope to assist Mr. Wu, both now and in the future."

Wu Xianxiao fell into deep thought.

To be honest, Chu Yuyan spoke very bluntly, without any concealment or politeness. However, this straightforwardness actually touched Wu Xianxiao's liking, and his liking for Chu Yuyan increased rapidly.

At this time, Hao Cheng was sitting next to him listening to all this. No one knew what he was thinking about. Suddenly his face turned red and he lowered his head slightly. His original masculine aura slowly turned into that of a girl.

"You're blushing like a bubble teapot!"

Wu Xianxiao couldn't help but yell, causing Hao Cheng to shake his head again, then quickly looked up seriously.

This interruption interrupted Chu Yuyan's next words, but he was not annoyed. He just chuckled and shook his head slightly.

Wu Xianxiao then looked at Chu Yuyan and said, "In that case, I'd better learn from the ancients... What can you teach me?"

Chu Yuyan immediately turned serious, leaning forward slightly and said, "Yes, indeed. Regarding the rescue operation of Chu Minghao this time, my thoughts are..."

"Bring all those who have been confirmed or may be spies and traitors, and then..."

"Attract the Thirteenth Company and the People's Revolutionary League!"
