On the plane.
The Jinghai City exploration team was all in the sa compartnt.
Lu Xun was in the middle, sitting next to him was Ding Xuezhu.
Many people didn’t know each other, it was completely a first eting, but under the influence of a few sociable people, the atmosphere quickly beca lively, and the team mbers started chatting and laughing.
At first, everyone didn’t pay much attention to Lu Xun.
After all, although he was tall and strong, paired with a mature and stable three-piece suit and hair slicked back in an adult style, appearing very stylish and quite charismatic.
...But he was ultimately too young.
He looked like he was just over twenty years old.
Totally out of place with this "elite of the elite" luxury team lineup.
Everyone thought he was a disciple of so master in the archaeological team, accompanying them to the ruins to gain experience and accumulate so credentials, a marginal character.
Lu Xun planned to keep a low profile, first downplaying himself, then making a big reveal, initially not explaining, staying silent, preparing to make a stunning appearance tomorrow like a sweeping monk from Shaolin Temple, putting on a big show.
Before appearing, it would be best to have so extra spreading rumors everywhere, "Did you hear? There’s a big boss with a daily salary of fifty million coming..." "Among us, there’s a super boss proficient in ancient demon language" ... sparking curiosity and anticipation among the team mbers, while the protagonist stood by smiling silently.
...The showing off effect would be better then.
But unfortunately, Ding Xuezhu didn’t cooperate at all, the old lady directly exposed his identity.
"Xiao Lu is a demonic script master we painstakingly invited, also the highest-level archaeological consultant in the team."
Ding Xuezhu patted Lu Xun on the shoulder, smiling and saying to everyone, "Don’t be fooled by his just turning of age yesterday, his abilities are outstanding."
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately widened their eyes, pupils quaking.
"Holy crap! This young guy?!"
"Is it true? Mr. Lu Xiao is that aweso? 18 years old, a demonic script master?"
"Ambition does not depend on age, a hero is not questioned about origins."
"Amazing!"
"Happy birthday, Younger Brother Lu."
...
Although the buildup was insufficient, the effect was sowhat lacking, everyone’s shock was still evident.
What apprentice on an experience trip?
The person himself is a master!
And...only 18 years old.
No comparison, no damage.
A pair of eyes looked at Lu Xun with incredulous expressions.
He went from an ignored marginal character to the center of attention on site.
Even the "cold-faced tough guy" Zhang Xinghai couldn’t stay firm, he actively ca over to et Lu Xun, acquainting himself with the big boss, expanding his network.
"My na is Zhang Xinghai, I’m a combat mber of the exploration team, hello Brother Xiao Lu, please guide ."
Although the Human Federation is full of martial virtue, people have great respect for senior intellectuals, especially the big bosses among intellectuals.
Zhang Xinghai was able to reach Special-Level Peak relying on "technology and ruthless skill".
All of his proud power cos from the intellectuals of the Human Federation.
So in the Human Federation, a capable scholar, even if just an inferior ordinary person, with no combat power at all, can still earn others’ respect and admiration.
"Ahem, easy there, easy there."
Lu Xun grinned, shook hands with Zhang Xinghai, thinking:
Nah, I still like your original unruly look!
*********
The journey was long, Lu Xun took a nap on the plane.
Then felt his arm being pinched by a small hand, waking him up.
"Stop sleeping, Xiao Lu, we’ve arrived at our destination." Ding Xuezhu said to him.
Hmm?
Lu Xun was startled for a mont, then turned his head to look out the window, imdiately his pupils dilated.
What ca into view was an endless azure sea.
Vast and boundless, where the sea and sky et.
An island city stood lonely on the sea surface.
The whole city was "remodeled" from a small island, the island was lush with vegetation, the beach and sunlight complinting each other; the buildings stretched endlessly, with tens of thousands of rooms, neat and orderly, row upon row.
At the harbor, ships of all sizes ca and went frequently.
Like an erald set in the center of a sapphire.
A green oasis suspended in the blue sea.
"The Naga Race, although they like to live underwater in the deep sea, are actually amphibians that can operate on land. And to align with international standards, the Naga Race built many offshore cities for foreign travelers to stop by and conduct comrcial trade." Ding Xuezhu explained with a smile, "The city you’re seeing is called ’Snow Algara’, a famous nocturnal city on the sea, isn’t it magnificent?"
Lu Xun nodded.
Magnificent indeed!
"A nocturnal city on the sea?" He caught onto the focal point of her words.
"Yes, it’s dayti now, but you can only truly feel the charm of this city on the sea at night."
"The main team will gather completely by tomorrow afternoon, today you can freely roam, unrestricted by contracts, feel the bustle of the nocturnal city, an experience not to be missed."
After Ding Xuezhu said this, she seed to recall sothing, her face changed slightly, first looking around the team mbers, then in a low voice to Lu Xun:
"Xiao Lu, don’t go to places where good boys shouldn’t go, and don’t go if soone looks for you."
"Hmm? What do you an?" Lu Xun scratched his head, not understanding.
"It ans..." the old lady hesitated, then simply snorted, turned her face away, arms crossed, said stiffly, "In short, don’t turn into a bad boy!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t." Lu Xun nodded, seriously saying, "I’m an adult now, at most I’ll turn into a bad man."
