"Do lovers dare to hold hands on the streets?"
When such ridiculous questions were asked, Wang Zheng could not take it anymore and retreated in defeat. Go sweep the floor, you guys carry on chatting.
A wave of laughter sent Wang Zheng off. A few hours later, another group of guards came. Wang Zheng did not wait for instructions and had already prepared a cold drink.
"Kid, I heard you're a soldier?"
"You must be a soldier of the Milky Way Alliance. Look at your steps and figure, you're made from the same mold. Being sent to this godforsaken place at such a young age, I'm guessing you must have offended many people."
The eyes of the mercenaries that the Lan family had spent so much money to hire as guards were sharper than the other. They were never biased in their judgment of people.
"I'm a military school student, in my second year. I'm here for an internship, but my luck is a little bad."
"Ah, you're still a student. Eh, maybe there was a mistake. Kid, your luck is really bad, but also really good. The Lan family has the most power here, and you know the missy. When you return, you'll probably be quite proud." Miloxius said. The missy had specially instructed him to take care of this kid, or else Miloxius would not have bothered. But overall, this kid was weak, but not annoying.
"I feel very lucky too, and hope to have the chance to repay her."
"Haha, actually I was also indebted to the missy back then, and that's why I decided to stay. You just have to take care of your body now, and don't cause any trouble." Miloxius laughed. He knew how to be grateful, but what could he do to help? He did not even have the strength to truss a chicken. The Solar System was famous for being weak, and Miloxius was a respectable person from Manalasuo. "Also, keep your spirits up. There are plenty of fish in the sea, don't wilt over a woman."
Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry, and could only nod. To Lan Ling, the so-called princess was probably a girl from a better family on Earth, and that was the extent of it. Therefore, she did not take it seriously.
"Only the missy of the Lan family is kind. Consider yourself lucky. If you were discovered by the people of Tita first, hehe, do you know how those black skeletons hanging on the walls of Windbreak City came about?" Another person said.
"Don't talk nonsense. The people of Tita are not as barbaric as you think. Their civilization is worthy of respect. As for the black skeletons, they are warriors who failed in the tea party. Only human warriors recognized by the people of Tita can participate."
"Tsk, I'm just scaring this kid. Why did you expose me?"
"What's a tea party?" Wang Zheng blinked his eyes. Although he had heard many things about the people of Tita from Lan Ling, he still knew nothing about some of the customs of the people of Tita.
"Every year, the people of Tita would hold a warrior's assembly three months after their coming of age ceremony. The method was similar to our triathlons. However, the event was extremely perverse. If one wasn't a true expert, he wouldn't be able to make it."
"What kind of place is Windbreak City? Isn't it a little too cruel to hang the heads of the warriors who sacrificed themselves here?"
"They are the people of Tita. You can't use our human eyes to look at their customs. Different civilizations have different ways of respecting the corpses after death. We humans are mostly particular about resting in peace. The dead are the most important. The corpses are the resting place of the soul. Even after death, they are still closely related to the soul. When the ashes float to everyone, the soul will return to the sea. However, the people of Tita believe that the corpses are for the living to remember. After their death, the soul will return to the Titan, which is the minerals beneath our feet."
When people get older, they would like to show off their knowledge in front of the younger people. It was probably because they had eaten salt before that they knew how powerful they were.
Wang Zheng listened happily. The few guards at the side had already stood up straight. It was useless even if they kept winking at Wang Zheng. So what if he was a big shot? Wasn't he just like any other old man who liked to show off?
It had been a long time since Lan Jiang had spoken to his heart's content. As the only remaining elder of the Lan Family, his status in the Lan Family was frighteningly high. He had only mumbled a few words in his throat and someone had already prepared some tissues, spittoons, and mouthwash tea for him. What the hell! Did everyone have to be so obedient and smart? Didn't they know that old people liked to be lively? In the house, wherever he walked, it would be cold and quiet. Other than the thumping sound of his footsteps, the others would be like ghosts floating around. Not a single sound could be heard.
Alright, respecting the elderly was a good traditional virtue. However, every time he opened his mouth to speak, his descendants would be more familiar with the history of the family than him. They would even say behind his back that he was "so annoying talking about the ancient past" and "I got sick of hearing it when I was young" …
Alright, it was fine if you guys didn't want to listen. He would go and find someone else to talk about it. Before he could even step out of the house, he was "escorted" back. What the hell was escorted? Two burly men on his left and right dragged him back to the house. It was more like a kidnapping!
It was lonely at the top.
Lan Jiang sized Wang Zheng up with interest. "You must be the brat that Lingling saved, right? I'm warning you, Lingling is kind by nature. Don't have any evil thoughts towards her. She doesn't have much meat on her. She needs to be trained as a soldier. "
Wang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He nodded his head and said that he wouldn't dare to. Although he wasn't old, due to his relationship with the Old Merchant, he had a good impression of interesting old men.
"With me around, you wouldn't dare to ask about the customs of the people of Tita. You haven't been to TitaTitan Star before, right?"
Lan Jiang said in an unfathomable manner. He had the look of a detective.
He had heard that his precious granddaughter had saved someone from the Milky Way Alliance. Moreover, he was a young lad with explosive vitality. Initially, he wanted to praise his granddaughter for being kind. However, after thinking about it, he felt that something wasn't right. His granddaughter had already reached the age where she had her first awakening of love. As her granduncle, how could he not come out and find out the truth?
Fortunately, he wasn't handsome at all. Even if he was to be fair, he was only slightly handsome. He shouldn't be able to steal his granddaughter's soul.
"When are you returning to the Milky Way Alliance?"
Lan Jiang seemed to have the intention to chase him away. The guards were all watching the commotion. Although they stood straight, they couldn't stop their smiles from showing on their faces. They were waiting to see Wang Zheng make a fool of himself.
"Knock off." Wang Zheng smiled. He turned his head and returned to the room that the guards had arranged for him. He had knocked off an hour ago. He took the initiative to work overtime without paying his salary.
"Brat, you have guts!"
Lan Jiang was furious. However, he was also overjoyed. He had no intention to chase Wang Zheng away. There was actually someone in the Lan Family who dared to ignore him? Even if it was done intentionally to attract his attention, it was still quite fun.
"Why? Brat, do you think I'm too long-winded? I want to reason things out with you!" Lan Jiang snorted.
Wang Zheng was regretting his decision to take the initiative to work overtime. It was fine if he didn't please him, but he had even brought trouble to himself.
Lan Ling came knocking on his door at night. She was smiling and looked extremely charming. "Granduncle is a very nice person. It's just that he's a little lonely. If he has any requests, we will usually try our best to satisfy them. Therefore, I'm counting on you."
Wang Zheng agreed without hesitation. After all, this was a request from Lan Ling. If he couldn't even complete such a small task, he wouldn't be considered a human.
The next day, Old Man Lan Jiang came knocking on his door early in the morning. "Brat, follow me. I'm lacking an assistant."
"Can I return to the Milky Way Alliance now?" Wang Zheng purposely asked. Sometimes, old people were afraid of loneliness. Teasing them would make them happy.
"No, no. How can you do that? We haven't clarified your identity yet. Moreover, you haven't returned the money. Do you know how much we spent on your treatment? That was the girl's private money." Lan Jiang shook his head like a rattle drum.
Regarding the matters of the Titan Star, Lan Jiang was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable. The wise were dwarfs, the brave were giants. The wise held knowledge, and the brave were natural born warriors. Any weapon in their hands would be able to be used to its best, including human weapons.
The Tita people had already started to adapt to human technology. The Lan Family had specially designed close combat weapons and armours for the Titan Star people. One had to know that in this place, laser weapons and energy shields were ineffective. A Titan Star warrior could reach a height of 5 to 6 meters after they matured. Moreover, they were extremely strong.
Old Man Lan's position was not only because of his qualifications, but also because of his talent in weapon design.
The laser weapons that humans loved to use were useless on the Titatitan Star. As for the design of cold weapons, they were specially tailored to the physical conditions of the Titans. Basically, they were all created by Old Man Lan. Everyone said that Lan Jiang did not get the name "Jiang" for nothing. However, Wang Zheng suspected that he had changed his name himself. Lan Dachui was definitely not as famous as Lan Jiang. At the very least, he would not be able to become a grandmaster.
When Lan Jiang was doing his research, he would always lock Wang Zheng up in a small room. If it wasn't for the tea, food, and television, what difference would it be from being locked up?
However, the television was really … not good!
Back and forth, there were only two channels!
One was the Tita Entertainment Channel. It was broadcasting a recording of a Milky Way Alliance variety show from a year ago. Now, it was broadcasting the Genius Prank Gu. A group of self-proclaimed geniuses were challenging various difficulties … As for the content, Wang Zheng was speechless.
The other channel was a children's channel. It was fine if he did not watch it. He did not expect that there would be such a backward channel in this day and age.
After switching off the television, Wang Zheng drank a mouthful of tea. Although he did not know much about tea, he knew that it was a good tea. The fragrance lingered in his mouth and he felt comfortable when he took a sip.
Some things, although he wanted to play it down from the bottom of his heart, the aftershocks of the impact could not be ignored. There were doubts and unwillingness.
Luckily, Wang Zheng could always find something for himself to do. There were a few pieces of draft paper in the corner at the side. On them were a few math questions. This was it.
Wang Zheng took a pen from the side. Old Man Yun seemed to especially like to use these primitive things. Wang Zheng also quite liked it. The pleasure he felt when he waved the pen. Those who did not have good handwriting would definitely not understand. Wang Zheng's handwriting was quite beautiful.
He wrote fluently. The more he wrote, the faster he got and the prouder he got. The questions were still very difficult and involved a lot of knowledge …
Halfway through, Wang Zheng frowned. He could not solve it anymore. This question was missing an important factor. It should not be on these two pieces of draft paper.
Forget it, I can't figure it out.
He casually threw the draft paper on the table and focused his attention on the bookshelf at the side. If he had to describe it, there was only one word – clean.
There was not a speck of dust. He casually took out a book. "The Evolution of Mecha Design". It was actually an old book from 200 years ago. Looking at it, the content was more boastful than factual. There were some records about the Mayans, but it was a pity that there were very few.
