321: Chapter 205: Star Lord Descends 321: Chapter 205: Star Lord Descends Ti rewound to three minutes earlier when Zhang Xiaoman was eating in the newly purchased villa of his mother.
Six people sat at the table, including himself, Lin Sisi, his mom, Master Liu, Brother Hero, and Mrs.
Hero.
The purpose of the al was naturally to celebrate the Zhang family’s move to a new house; according to the traditions of Hua Xia Country, a banquet was customary.
However, he had few family mbers, and the only additional person they could invite was Master Liu, plus so friends of Zhang Xiaoman, bringing the total to just six people.
In the end, everyone decided it would be more lively and convenient to have the al at ho.
As for his mom, Pei Lingsu, even though she had just resigned from her job, she naturally had so friends and connections, but they weren’t invited this ti; she planned to have her own separate gathering in a few days.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t invite many people either; it was just so very close friends, naly Brother Hero’s family plus Lin Sisi.
It could be said that while he and the young lady hadn’t formally clarified their relationship outright, both had already entertained the thought, with only a thin layer of “window paper” remaining unbroached.
Zhang Xiaoman had often heard that life’s pace changes drastically after getting a girlfriend, requiring much ti spent accompanying her to als and shopping.
However, during this period of interaction with Lin Sisi, perhaps because their relationship wasn’t officially defined, or maybe because the young lady was blind and seldom needed to go out, or perhaps for so other reason,
he did not feel overly tied down.
Although Lin Sisi couldn’t see, she wasn’t overly reliant on others and never demanded Zhang Xiaoman accompany her; during their ti together, they often discussed matters regarding Dark Energy.
The young lady was rather gifted, possessing unique insights in many areas.
Even Zhang Xiaoman, soone with MAX affinity, often gained valuable experiences from their conversations.
This al was essentially the housewarming banquet of the Zhang family, personally cooked by his mom, with Star Guard as the assistant.
The efficiency was so elevated that in a short while, eleven dishes were prepared, which was quite surprising.
With Master Liu present, dishes involving goose were a must, making up three of the offerings on the table, though it seed he favored the salted goose more.
At noon, while Zhang Xiaoman was enjoying his al, he suddenly received a call from Xiao Shun.
As soon as he pressed the answer button, Xiao Shun’s first sentence imdiately put him on alert.
“Brother Man!
We’ve encountered Fog Heart here in Africa, and there are many Alien Species.
I barely managed to escape to notify you, and Lord Bear and others are injured and still in the fog.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman quickly asked for details and understood the urgency of the situation.
Without a word, he went back to his room, hastily donned two pieces of equipnt, and set out.
He intended to use the “Unlimited Teleportation” Skill, but since Lord Bear and his group were not yet official gang mbers, it couldn’t be used directly.
However, that wouldn’t deter him as Zhang Xiaoman had been consistently winning Star Dust in the lotteries over the past few days.
He imdiately opened the gang mber list, expanded the mber limit, then activated Lord Bear’s mbership, thus enabling the use of Teleport on him.
In the Skill’s senses, blurred images of the site appeared before Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes.
He chose an appropriate spot, activated his Ability, and after a casting ti of 5 seconds, he instantly arrived at the battlefield.
One could say that one second he was at a warm and harmonious family gathering, and the next, he was thrust into a battle swarming with monsters, an experience that even he found novel.
What happened next unfolded just as Weiss and others had witnessed; having learned of the monsters’ weakness from Xiao Shun, Zhang Xiaoman imdiately summoned Star Guard to tank the monsters, then created four Burst Spirit Skills, killing the remaining monsters.
Using the Burst Spirit Skill once consud 40 points of Dark Energy, and with his current limit of 183 points, launching four attacks was well within his capacity.
With the monsters on site exterminated, Zhang Xiaoman cast a Spirit Detection Technique on himself to check for threats around the area.
He then walked up and indicated that it was safe for everyone in the vehicle to co out.
The others were still sowhat in shock, especially Weiss.
Just monts ago, it had been a scene like sothing out of a horror movie with monsters descending, but suddenly, the style changed to that of a superhero movie where the superhero saves the vulnerable.
And Weiss and his companions seed to be those who were powerless and frail.
“Man…
Star Lord!
It really is you who ca, hahaha, I knew my life wasn’t over yet!”
Hu Peng and Xun You also ca out, excitedly shouting upon seeing Zhang Xiaoman.
“Thank you, Star Lord, for the rescue,”
Lord Bear also ca forward to express his gratitude, his face also wearing an undeniable smile, although not as exaggerated as the others.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded at everyone, when suddenly footsteps were heard behind him; it was Xiao Shun rushing back.
“Boss!
You’re here!
Uh…
what’s going on here?
Why are there more monsters??”
Weiss was looking at the group talking from the side, wanting to say a few words, but was hindered by the language barrier and couldn’t chi in.
What surprised him, however, was that he could understand the words of the young man enveloped in a black robe, even though everyone spoke Hua Xia language.
While he couldn’t understand what others said, he could clearly comprehend what this particular person was saying.
“You all worked hard on this mission,”
Xiao Shun’s face reddened as he said, “Boss, it was our incompetence, and in the end, we had to ask you to step in personally.
Moreover, we still haven’t found the Black Mamba Snake, and the feeder here has been killed by monsters.”
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand, “Don’t be too hard on yourself.
With your current abilities, you aren’t ready to deal with these Alien Species.
It’s good that no one was hurt.”
“By the way, if you need to go to such places for fieldwork again, consider asking the organization for transportation.
An Anti-gravity Car can quickly bring you to your destination, saving a lot of ti.”
Hearing this, everyone felt deeply moved, and they began talking about the events that had just unfolded, even Weiss chid in a few words.
“Alright, let’s leave this place first.
I have so business to handle, about an hour’s work.
Wait for outside, and I’ll co back to you shortly.”
