The purpose of this ball was to let An Lin and the others familiarize themselves with the celebrities from all over the Southwest, which would make things easier in the future.
An Lin and the others couldn't divulge the specifics of their mission. Only Mayor Qin, Zheng Hongyi, and Department Director Zhou Zheng knew the gist of the mission. Thus, they could only converse with the rest of the people here.
Soon, they felt a little bored and found a table to sit down at.
These complicated interactions were left to Huang Shanshan and Zheng Hongyi to handle.
As soon as Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng sat down, they took out their phones and started playing with them.
The temptation of phones wasn't just for humans. Even cultivators would be addicted to the rich variety of functions inside.
Xu Xiaolan was excitedly browsing through Jingdong and Taobao.
The girl's shopping instincts were burning.
Xuanyuan Cheng was using his phone to search for all kinds of cutting-edge electronic products, advanced mechanical products, and even military weapons of various countries.
Whether it was theoretical knowledge or construction models, they were all within the scope of his research. He looked like a top student in science and technology.
An Lin heaved a forlorn sigh upon seeing this.
Others came to the ball to socialize and dance.
But you guys were playing with your phones …
Just a moment ago, we were still acting like we were the heavens! We were the ones who shocked the entire audience!
Although we're now behind the scenes, we still have to act like we're the best, right?
Browsing Taobao, looking at blueprints … Is this really normal?
An Lin sighed. Then, he took out his phone and started playing Arena of Valor …
…
…
He chose Zhuge Liang. Compared to Li Bai, who was a hero who was good at picking up girls, he preferred Zhuge Liang, who was agile, handsome, and adaptable.
Some of the daughters of famous families at the ball began to have feelings for An Lin when he was in the limelight. They couldn't help but steal glances at him.
Some of the girls finally mustered up the courage to invite him for a dance, only to find that he was sitting on a chair and playing with his phone!
"What is Young Master An playing?"
A pretty girl secretly asked her female companion next to her.
"It's too far. I can't see clearly."
"However, I feel that every single move of a mighty figure like Young Master An must have a profound meaning behind it. It's best if we don't disturb him," his female companion said solemnly.
"That's true. It looks like he's really busy."
"Sigh, what a pity …"
The woman sighed and gave up on the idea of hitting on him.
At that moment, An Lin, who was in high spirits, had yet to realize that playing games could ruin his life.
His battle had already entered a white-hot stage.
The defense towers of both sides had been destroyed, and only the last big crystal was left.
In the 5v5 team battle, four of the enemies and their teammates had died. Only An Lin's Zhuge Liang and the enemy's Han Xin were still alive.
The outcome of this battle would directly determine the outcome of the entire competition.
Zhuge Liang and Han Xin both had a quarter of their HP left.
An Lin wanted to pull away from Han Xin and wait for eight seconds. When Zhuge Liang's ultimate move was ready, he would instantly kill Han Xin.
However, he had still underestimated Han Xin's mobility.
Han Xin leaped to the front of Zhuge Liang and flicked his spear, followed by a series of rapid and violent moves.
Zhuge Liang's HP was low, and he was caught off guard.
"Idiot! Can't you just teleport to Han Xin and use Easterly Strike? Why do you have to wait for the Primordial Bomb?! "
Just as An Lin's Zhuge Liang was killed by Han Xin, a crisp voice sounded in his ear.
An Lin raised his head to find an adorable girl with short chestnut-colored hair staring at his phone screen and giving him pointers.
Of course, he knew that this girl was right.
However, as a grown man, he felt a little embarrassed to be scolded by a girl. He immediately said with slight annoyance, "Where did this little brat come from? Go play somewhere else!"
"Me? Little brat?! "The girl pointed at her face, her bright eyes widened, and her chest rose and fell violently.
Ah, no, she didn't have breasts!
An Lin also knew that it was impolite to speak like this, so he changed the way he said, "Where did this little loli come from? Go find your parents!"
When the girl heard An Lin's words, her chest immediately tightened. She was very angry, and she raised her voice and said angrily, "Listen up, I'm 18 years old this year! I'm already an adult! "
An Lin looked at the girl's petite body and blinked.
The pink evening dress on her, even though it was a small size, still looked loose, revealing her crystal white shoulders.
The dress had a low collar, but even so, her chest still looked very flat.
"Okay … I believe you." An Lin nodded.
When the girl heard An Lin's words, she had just revealed a satisfied expression, but she was so angry at An Lin's next words that she almost fainted.
"You're a legal loli. Are you satisfied now?" An Lin added.
Satisfied? Satisfied my ass!
Will you die if you don't say the next sentence!?
The girl felt that if she continued to talk to An Lin like this, she might actually vomit blood.
She immediately chose to go straight to the point. "Hello, my name is Tian Lingling! Big Sister Shanshan recommended me to help you carry out your mission. "
"Oh, hello, my name is An Lin."
A hint of disappointment flashed across An Lin's face.
He had thought that this girl was attracted by his handsome figure when he was playing the game.
Now it looked like he was overthinking things.
An Lin stopped Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng from playing with their phones and introduced Tian Lingling to them.
Huang Shanshan belonged to the National Special Operations Department, which was a military force, while Tian Lingling represented the Hua Nation's cultivation world. Both of these forces would assist An Lin and the others in carrying out their mission.
The guest that Huang Shanshan and Zheng Hongyi had gone out to greet earlier was Tian Lingling.
Tian Lingling had reached the Eighth Stage Dao Body at the age of eighteen, which made her a prodigy even in the Kingdom of the Nine States.
On Earth, her aptitude was even more top-notch, so she didn't hold back or be polite to An Lin and the others.
An Lin didn't mind, of course.
What was the point of bickering with a brat?
"Hey! Hey! An Lin, dance with me! "
Tian Lingling blinked her bright eyes at him and spoke with great anticipation.
"You?" An Lin looked Tian Lingling up and down, and an almost imperceptible hint of disdain appeared on his face. "I refuse!"
What a joke, asking him to dance with a little loli at a ball? What a weird scene!
He would be mistaken for a weird uncle!
Tian Lingling stomped her foot in anger at An Lin's straightforward refusal.
After a long while, she calmed down and continued, "Hey! Hey! An Lin, do you have WeChat? "
"I do, I'm not a caveman, of course I don't have WeChat." An Lin pursed his lips.
Tian Lingling chuckled, then pulled out her phone and opened the QR code. Her purpose was self-evident.
An Lin didn't mind adding her on WeChat, it would be easier for him to contact her in the future, so he cooperated and added Tian Lingling as a friend.
Beep beep beep.
A message came from An Lin's WeChat, it was a smiley face from Tian Lingling.
He looked up at Tian Lingling and also sent her a smiley face.
An Lin was a little speechless. Was texting each other on their phones a new way of playing in the mortal world?
Beep beep beep.
Another message came from WeChat: Tian Lingling invites you to join the "All Cultivators of the World Unite to Protect Earth" group.
An Lin's eyes widened when he saw the name of the group, and he turned to look at Tian Lingling.
Tian Lingling explained with a smile, "This is the top cultivator group of the Hua Nation, and it's also your support team for this mission!"
An Lin was still dumbstruck.
What a weird group name … Was it really a group created by cultivators?!
All Cultivators of the World Unite to Protect Earth? Did they think they were Ultraman?!
An Lin was a little speechless, but he still joined the group.
However, he soon felt like he had joined a fake cultivator group …
