"Yeah yeah, bro, why don’t you just travel with us instead?" Xie Manyu stood at the side with her hands on her hips, supporting the point. "The Human Federation is so safe, it’s too easy to get into trouble going abroad. Mom and Dad are worried sick about you. Thankfully, the Human Alliance Military stepped in; it was a close call but ended well."
The father and daughter believed that the crisis faced by the Treasure Pavilion exploration team was resolved because of the Human Federation’s "influence."
After all, that’s how it was reported in Human Federation news, and the politicians have ample experience in taking credit.
Little did they know, without the 130 billion hired rcenary backup from the rcenary Empire, without the "Dragon King" pulling out his blade to help, all mbers of the exploration team would have already been finished.
Xie Zhenhai and Xie Manyu worried that Lu Xun’s life was in danger.
But in fact, it wasn’t Lu Xun who was in danger; it was the pirates.
He would kill anyone who stood in his way; neither man nor God could stop him—he was on a killing spree!
All four of the Blood Corpse Pirates’ Saint Kings were slain by him.
Of course, the Human Federation did contribute; the military’s warnings intimidated the Magma Emperor, forcing the pirates to issue a statent to maintain peace, which served to wrap things up.
Lu Xun didn’t care about such empty reputations; he didn’t mind how the Human Federation news reported it.
"I’ll be back in Jinghai City by tomorrow morning, you all continue with your trip," Lu Xun said to his uncle and sister. "There’s no need to change your plans because of ."
His uncle thought it over and nodded, "Alright, we’ll discuss it when your aunt returns. Once you return to Jinghai tomorrow, don’t run around aimlessly. This ti was really scary; we’ll be back in five days."
"Mm-hmm, no worries." Lu Xun nodded, "I’ll let you know I’m safe when I get ho."
After so more casual chat, he hung up the phone.
Then he called his aunt to reassure her as well.
This ti back to Jinghai, he should be able to get promoted to an elite.
In just two days, he earned a billion; the company should also provide so compensation.
The taxes he pays alone will be enough to accumulate contribution points.
Many citizens work tirelessly for decades in the workplace to get promoted to an elite.
But Lu Xun, with just one big job, accumulated enough contribution points all at once.
Jinghai City is rely a Second-level Self-looping City.
If soone earning fifty million a day can’t get promoted, it would be a joke.
**************
The next day, early morning.
Hotel.
Before he could even have breakfast, Lu Xun’s room door was knocked.
Opening the door, a beautiful silhouette ca into view.
"Xiao Lu, our Human Federation warship has arrived," Ding Xuezhu exclaid happily as she stood gracefully at the door. "Let’s go, we’re going ho!"
[Oh~ my life is really big this ti, but unfortunately, I got scolded severely on the phone by my parents last night. Once I get ho, I’ll surely be rebuked even more... I might even face a grounding; what bad luck.]—A self-pitying voice echoed in her mind.
Hmm?
Lu Xun was montarily stunned and then realized that he inadvertently heard her inner thoughts.
This was due to the mind reading techniques from the Spirit Rhinoceros Race.
He didn’t expect it to be this useful, truly a divine skill.
"Mm-hmm, let’s go."
Lu Xun maintained a normal expression, stepped out of the room, and walked alongside her.
Soon, the exploration team mbers gathered in the hotel lobby downstairs.
Zhang Xinghai and others appeared listless, with heavy spirits, but the excitent in their eyes had not yet faded.
It was apparent they had a hard ti last night, almost drained completely.
Lu Xun read their minds and could even see many inappropriate scenes that were too filthy to behold.
The mind reading technique could not only "hear" but also "see," directly accessing a person’s clear images in their mind.
But as the saying goes, don’t judge a person by their heart.
Even a saint’s heart has a dark side.
What’s more, the vast majority of people in the world are not sages.
The hearts of ordinary people are even dirtier.
Everyone has all sorts of ssy thoughts, and if scrutinized closely, it’s really dirty.
There are seemingly loving couples, but in truth, the wife fantasizes about being with another man;
There’s seemingly pure children, innocent and carefree, but secretly thinking about stealing their parents’ money to buy toys;
Soone drinks and chats happily with their closest relative, not realizing the relative is intensely jealous, outwardly close but inwardly wishing they had a car accident and died.
...
Lu Xun attempted to crank up the mind reading technique to full power, capable of simultaneously reading the thoughts of thousands of people within a kiloter radius.
Countless negative thoughts, dirty images flooded his mind.
...It was simply an indescribable form of ntal pollution.
Even Lu Xun himself couldn’t escape.
He noticed a few female exploration team mbers not far away, outwardly serious, but inwardly they were fantasizing about dating, kissing, hugging, and even rolling in bed with Lu Xun... and several of them were already married.
It was truly eye-searing.
Frightened, Lu Xun quickly withdrew.
[Xiao Lu looks so handso today, um... although he’s always been handso, why does he seem so charming today? I can’t help but want to... bah bah bah, can’t think like that, Ding Xuezhu, you idiot, Xiao Lu is still young, no wandering thoughts allowed!]
Yes, that’s Ding Xuezhu’s inner voice.
Even she has wicked thoughts.
Lu Xun could only helplessly turn off the mind reading technique.
He just realized that this ability shouldn’t be used casually on familiar people; it should only be used occasionally and appropriately when necessary.
Otherwise, it’s very easy to read things that shouldn’t be read, causing friendships, family ties, and romances to all beco distorted and unbearable.
And that would make normal life impossible.
Actually, it’s not entirely Ding Xuezhu’s fault, nor those female exploration team mbers’.
If a single man encounters a super beautiful girl on the street, he can’t help but have improper thoughts. He doesn’t even know her na yet, but he’s already thought up the nas of their future children.
Conversely, when a woman sees a guy who perfectly ets her standards, how could she not have any stray thoughts?
Lu Xun projected the succubus trait, and under the All-Knowing Right Hand’s optimization and enhancent, he was countless tis more "charming" than a succubus.
Even though he tried to suppress it, the charm still "leaked" a bit, having a deadly attraction to the opposite sex... and even to the sa sex.
So it’s really not their fault.
Thinking a bit doesn’t break any laws; don’t judge by the heart.
Lu Xun, if not for suppressing the trait and fully releasing his charm... the consequences would be unimaginable.
’Better use this mind reading technique sparingly with acquaintances.’
He sighed, reminding himself in his heart.
...
Once all exploration team mbers were present.
An entire Human Federation navy and air force unit, fully ard, marched in with a neat stride.
A stern-faced middle-aged officer addressed the crowd:
"Rest assured, comrades, we will remove all obstacles and ensure your safe return ho, please follow us."
Thus, under the escort of the Human Federation army, the group left the hotel, boarded transport vehicles, and reached the port in batches.
The Human Federation dispatched a total of over a dozen warships.
Mighty and imposing, full of sci-fi flair, visibly several levels higher in advancent than those of pirates and the rcenary Empire.
Among them, two were even "tactical level" sky giant ships, equipped with heavy weapons capable of annihilating the majority of King-level creatures with terrifying power.
Just like Shi Yanxin’s "half-step peak limit great perfection lord" cha, the power of technology side weapons cannot be asured by "realm."
The Human Federation’s top tactical weapons cannot handle Emperor-level, but non-Emperor creatures, no matter how many co, they won’t survive.
No matter if it’s Extraordinary Saint King, Fighting Saint King, Infinite Saint King... it’s all a matter of one shot.
The truly powerful war instrunts of the Human Federation are impossible to sell externally.
The strategic level battleships that counter emperors and natural disasters are indeed possessed by the Human Federation, but strategic resources are very precious and scarce, to be reserved for the next War of Ten Thousand Races and next Celestial Convergence.
...
Because the exploration team mbers ca from different Self-looping Cities, not everyone boarded the sa warship.
"Only three of us from Jinghai City survived?"
Zhang Xinghai looked around, finding only Ding Xuezhu and Lu Xun standing beside him, feeling quite surprised.
"There are a few seriously injured who have already been sent back ho," Ding Xuezhu explained.
But anyway, it was still quite tragic.
"Let’s go, we’re going ho."
Lu Xun took the lead, eagerly boarding the warship.
Though the chance arranged by fate is still five days away, he couldn’t wait any longer.
When he left Jinghai City, he was only at Lord Peak, but now he’s Saint King Tier Three.
When going abroad, his Ultimate Form was only 4.2 ters tall; coming back, it’s 85 ters!!
For rapid growth, it still depends on opportunities.
...Well, on the way ho, let’s analyze the battleship as well.
No less than a hundred Dutch to start with!
With Lu Xun’s opportunistic nature, how could he let it slip by?
