Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 89 Generation
The Swift landed smoothly on the landing pad outside Longgu Village, and the hum of its engines gradually subsided.

The hatch slid open, and Bai Yuekui and Yang Chen stepped out one after the other.

Although no survivors were found, antimatter left over from the old world was discovered in that space station.

The Swift, piloted by ASH, carried the remaining antimatter back to Eco-Base Three.

Once the principles of Tasia's potential are fully understood, the remaining task is to study how to travel through time and space.

The first step in turning theory into practice.

The two walked side by side toward the village entrance, their pace quickening unconsciously.

However, as soon as they turned the corner of the path leading to the village entrance, the sight before them made them stop in their tracks.

The village entrance was much more lively than usual.

Several transport vehicles that clearly did not belong to Longgu Village were parked to the side, and a group of people dressed in different styles of clothing and looking travel-worn were loading supplies onto the vehicles.

The village guards and several familiar faces, such as Shan Da and Xu Tong, were helping to maintain order and guide the newcomers.

The most eye-catching were Hongkou, Poxiao, and Honglu, who had just come from Village No. 2, standing at the front of the crowd.

They seemed to be helping with the setup and welcoming.

Among the group of outsiders, an elderly man with a slightly hunched posture but a vigorous spirit stood out.

His hair and beard were all white, his face was etched with the marks of time, and he wore a faded but clean old-fashioned work uniform.

At that moment, he was smiling and talking to Xia Tian, ​​and Xia Tian and Nanji Xing were also nodding happily.

Beside the old man stood a boy who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old.

The boy was thin, with short black hair that made him look very energetic. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes that were obviously adult clothes altered to fit smaller, and he was carrying a bulging old backpack.

He was looking around with bright, curious eyes.

"Old Sun, Qianli told me last time that you were coming, I didn't expect you to actually lead the team here in person." Xia Tianlai's voice was loud, and his tone was full of familiar teasing.

The old man, known as Lao Sun, patted Xia Tianlai's arm: "Haha, I just came over to play a few rounds with you."

He then asked, "What's wrong? Is your partner keeping a close eye on you these days? Does she not let you play mahjong anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian straightened her back instinctively and raised her voice: "How dare she interfere in my affairs? I'm always the one who says what's right at home."

Just then, Nanjixing, who had been watching the show with his arms crossed, chimed in coolly, "Oh? Really? Whose secret training videos were those that Leila dug out from under the bed last month, and threw the boxes and discs right at the door?"

Summer's arrival caused my face to flush red instantly, and I immediately looked half-dejected.

He pointed at the South Star, exasperated: "South Star! Why do you have to bring this up? Besides, you still haven't paid me back!"

Nanjixing shrugged: "Don't look for me. Bai Yuetian took all your valuable materials a long time ago. Go ask him for them yourself."

He effortlessly shifted the blame completely.

Seeing that summer was approaching and he was about to get angry, Nanjixing immediately changed the subject and turned his gaze to the boy who had been quietly observing Old Sun.

"Alright, alright, Lao Xia, I'll save you some face in front of the kids."

"Old Sun, this must be your grandson? Last time I saw him, he was just a little kid. He's grown up so much! He looks so energetic!" He looked the boy up and down.

Old Sun chuckled and gently pushed the somewhat awkward boy next to him forward half a step, placing his rough hand on the boy's slightly thin shoulder.

"Yes, my grandson, Breaking Through the Void."

"Breaking through the void, call him Elder Nan and Elder Xia." He paused, then looked at Xia Tianlai and Nanji Xing, his gaze becoming more serious.

"I brought him here this time so that he could stay in your Longgu Village for a while beforehand, broaden his horizons, and get familiar with the environment."

The boy took a deep breath, suppressing his nervousness, and bowed respectfully to Xia Tianlai and Nanji Xing.

"Hello, Uncle Xia! Hello, Uncle Nan! My name is Pokong!" Xia Tianlai was a little embarrassed after Nanjixing exposed his secret.

Seeing Po Kong's sweet talk, he immediately found a way out and put on a smile again.

He waved his hand dismissively: "Good, good, good! Breaking through the void, is that it? What do you want to learn in Dragonbone Village?"

"I...I don't know." Po Kong smiled sheepishly.

Old Sun then explained, "This child has spontaneously unleashed his potential; you should take a look, Old Xia."

Although Dragonbone Village exchanges technology with other settlements, it is still at the forefront of research on source potential.

Just then, Yang Chen's voice came: "Looks like the village is quite lively today?"

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to them. Bai Yuekui and Yang Chen walked side by side from the village path.

Old Sun's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely solemn expression, and he bowed respectfully to the two of them.

"Boss Yang! Boss Bai!"

Old Sun quickly pulled Po Kong, who was still curiously observing Bai Yuekui and Yang Chen, in front of him, and placed his rough hand on the back of Po Kong's neck.

He urged in a low voice, "Silly boy, what are you standing there for! Quickly call them over! These are Boss Yang and Boss Bai!"

Po Kong was startled when his grandfather pressed him down, and he looked at the two people in front of him who were clearly "important people" in the village.

The boy blurted out, "Brother Yang! Sister Bai! Hello!"

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

Old Sun's large hand slapped Po Kong hard on the back of the head, causing the boy to stagger and almost fall over.

"Ouch!"

Po Kong clutched his head, wincing in pain, tears welling in his eyes, looking at his grandfather with a mixture of grievance and confusion.

"You scoundrel! You have no respect for your elders!" Old Sun was so angry that his beard stood on end and his face turned bright red.

You've got some nerve, calling me "brother" and "sister" right away, making your seniority suddenly higher than mine.

He pointed at Po Kong's nose and yelled, "Is this how you address people?! Call me Boss! Boss Yang! Boss Bai! Did you hear me?! No manners! How have I taught you?!"

As he cursed, he made a gesture as if to raise his hand again, which scared Po Kong so much that he shrank his neck and hid behind Xia Tianlai.

Xia Tian quickly stopped Old Sun with a smile: "Hey, Old Sun, calm down, calm down!"

"It's the child's first time here."

Yang Chen watched this scene, especially Po Kong's expression as he covered his head, looking aggrieved, scared, and stubborn at the same time, and couldn't help but chuckle.

He waved his hand and said gently, "It's just a form of address; let him choose what he likes."

His gaze fell on Po Kong, with the tolerance of an elder: "Hello, Po Kong, welcome to Dragon Bone Village."

Bai Yuekui's gaze also lingered on the boy, and he smiled gently.

When Old Sun saw that Yang Chen was still speaking up for his grandson, the anger on his face subsided slightly.

But he still glared fiercely at Po Kong: "Hurry up and call for help again, you brat!"

Po Kong hurriedly imitated his grandfather, bowing somewhat awkwardly.

"Boss Yang! Boss Bai!" This time he learned his lesson.
