Exploding God

Hezi has very smooth skin and a sweet scent about her...

Hmm, it seems to be the lollipop in her hand.

Of course, Lu Ze wasn't trying to verify this. At this moment, a phoenix phantom flashed in his eyes, and his gaze was distant and playful.

He was looking at the glasses intently.

At first glance, from the outside in, there seems to be nothing unusual, but these round-framed glasses are just plain glasses with transparent lenses, which cannot completely block out the flashing... symbols inside.

Even though they are shallow.

As for Hezi's right hand, which she pretended to casually adjust the glasses frame, that was even more interesting.

What are those fair, delicate fingers doing, gently rubbing the temples of the glasses?

It's probably about triggering some kind of mechanism, and that mechanism happens to be a built-in function of the glasses.

Since their invention, eyeglasses have served to improve and protect people's vision. Plano glasses are naturally not for nearsightedness, and this cute design is even less likely to be sunglasses, so it must be for improving vision.

Is it to see further, or to see deeper?

It's most likely the latter.

Therefore, the little girl brought some kind of high-tech equipment to watch herself.

As for why she was looking at herself, it must be because she had noticed something, or had observed something before.

He recalled what had just happened in front of him.

This location is only occupied by myself and my younger brother...

The younger brother awakened the seed in his sea of ​​consciousness in an unbelievable way, breaking through the biggest barrier to entering the extraordinary realm ahead of schedule despite only having 1-star strength...

So... if something is amiss, the other party should be observing Ah Ming, not themselves.

But now, it's me who's come looking for him...

Therefore, these glasses cannot observe the trajectory of the stellar energy, but rather identify the individual's stellar energy response level?

Is this a technological device that transcends the current stage and uses genetic identification as its standard?

The true identity of the little girl in front of us...

First, we can rule out the Yanhuang Combat Alliance, which is composed entirely of genetically engineered warriors.

Secondly, possessing state-of-the-art equipment inevitably implies strong scientific research capabilities; such casualness in bringing things out suggests that the individual is not an ordinary researcher whose movements are restricted.

So, who is this little girl...?

Logistics and research personnel of the Combat Association?

Or, a key member of a technology organization with a certain status?

This is a bit delicate.

All the thinking may seem lengthy, but it can be done in a single moment; 0.5 seconds is all it takes.

The time-stop effect vanished abruptly, like a mirage.

The world is back to normal.

Hezi finally secretly twisted the temple of her glasses.

Before the pupil, everything was clear and pure.

but……

Hezi looked a little confused and blinked her big, cute eyes.

Why do I always feel a fleeting red blush appearing at the edge of my retina?

Is it just an illusion?

But the detection glasses didn't actually react; look, everything's fine now.

As expected, the older brother in front of me is a complete weakling.

Hezi squinted her eyes.

So, my thought processes have already begun to be invaded by aliens... As expected, this is a world full of danger and evil.

"Of course I'm good."

For Lu Ze, the 0.5-second pause was like a tiny, extra branch on the world line and timeline—a unique branch that only Lu Ze could truly control. For others, however, what happened during the Star Origin Clock's pause was simply absent from their continuous memory.

Therefore, what Lu Ze said at this moment was very consistent with He Zi's question earlier.

Hezi: "Huh?"

Lu Ze laughed and said, "After all, I can make milk tea taste like coffee."

Hezi: [○｀Д′○]!

"Little sister, do your parents know how cute you are?"

"I..." He Zi froze, then suddenly burst out the next second.

"I'm not cute! I'm a 28-year-old auntie, and I'm super fierce! Humph, I'm not talking to you anymore, you brat."

He Zi said angrily, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, then looked at Lu Ze's height and paused for a moment...

He turned and ran.

Just as I was about to run out of the store, I slammed on the brakes. After thinking for a moment, I glanced reluctantly at the giant grapes on the ground, closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, rushed over and grabbed them, and then fled the milk tea shop like a frightened little rabbit.

"Sister Zhu, Sister Zhu, I'm coming back right away."

"Let me tell you, I've discovered a big demon king. He has long legs and he's really fierce."

He ran while giving a rapid-fire report.

Two full minutes after she ran away, a soft voice finally came from behind her glasses, which were close to her ear.

"Hezi, even if Earth is invaded by aliens today, you still have to go back to the lab."

"...Okay, I got it, why are you being so fierce?"

Hezi sighed, dejectedly hailed a taxi, and climbed into it.

Inside the shop, Lu Ze held his milk tea, staring blankly in the direction of the entrance.

What was he just called?

Little brat?

……

Lu Ze remained seated in the shop, slowly sipping his osmanthus oolong tea.

This little girl who suddenly appeared clearly had ulterior motives.

However, Lu Ze did not show the slightest impatience throughout the entire conversation. He even teased He Zi by agreeing with her words, making the atmosphere quite loving.

This attitude was completely different from when he was with Lin Chujun.

Lu Ze tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. Just now, seeing He Zi's mischievous appearance, he suddenly remembered when he found Wu Ji in the Misty Tower.

They're the same age and both are equally mischievous, but if you really want to be picky, Kirihime is definitely smarter than that little girl from before.

After all, in the Tower of Mist, those who aren't clever have long since perished.

Therefore, when Lu Ze saw that He Zi and Wu Ji looked somewhat similar, his attitude naturally softened.

Five minutes later, he put down his empty milk tea cup and glanced at the two unread messages on his bracelet.

One is from Liang Bo, and the other is from Han Zhen.

After thinking about it, he replied to both of them.

The reply to Liang Bo was, "Wait for my message."

The reply to Han Zhen was, "11:00 AM tomorrow, G71 defense zone city gate."

After finishing all this, Lu Ze left the milk tea shop and walked towards the beautiful building with a minimalist and forest-themed style, about two hundred meters away.

Shangnan Book Center!

……

Shangnan Book Center is a comprehensive cultural building that integrates borrowing and sales.

When Shangnan City was demolishing and expanding its existing library, it considered the beneficial effects of knowledge on all citizens and took into account factors such as environment, convenience, and coverage. Ultimately, it chose to build a library based on high visitor traffic.

The three-story building, with an interior ceiling height of over 5 meters on each floor, makes everyone who enters feel the spaciousness of the building.

Most of the works in the lending area can be read electronically in the reading room, but some books and materials with provenance are still preserved in traditional paper form. This is a kind of cultural inheritance and a testament to human history and culture.

The goods in the sales area are quite interesting; unusually, paper materials make up the majority, and most of the customers coming and going buy paper versions.

After Lu Ze swiped his ID bracelet, his privileges as a student of Shangnan High School granted him the right to enter.

As the crowd passed through the security gate, Lu Ze stood in front of a 3D map placed near the entrance, his eyes calmly scanning the markings and directions in the sales area.

[General History Section], [Mechanics], [Astronomy], [Modern Literature]...

It eventually lands on the [Geographic Map] section.
