During the night, Huai Shi was awakened twice by the explosions in Canberra.
He got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water. Standing in front of the window, he saw the rising flames in the distance and the faint silhouettes of ascendants jumping between the tall buildings.
After watching for a while, he looked away without interest and went back to sleep.
He slept all the way until the sun rose.
After breakfast, a waiter came up and said in a low voice, "A messenger from His Excellency Sand King is here. Do you have time to meet him?"
"Sure." Huai Shi wiped his mouth and sat on the chair. He saw the ascendant with sunglasses walk in.
It was a familiar face … It was the one who drove Huai Shi yesterday.
The visitor bowed respectfully. "His Excellency Sand King sends his greetings."
"It seems that you had a good harvest last night?" Huai Shi asked.
"It's just some unbearable internal strife. It's not worth mentioning." The Sand King's subordinate said, "His Excellency Sand King ordered me to bring you a gift. It's just some help within my ability. It's not an exaggeration. I hope you won't refuse."
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment. He watched as the man opened the box in his hand and carefully placed an envelope and a bottle in front of Huai Shi.
Inside the envelope was a ticket to the South Pole.
The contents of the bottle were frightening.
It was a few golden specks of dust.
They looked like crystals of amber. There was so little of it that it didn't even last for a moment. However, the rich aura it contained was suffocating.
"This is … golden amber?" Huai Shi was in disbelief.
"It's just some insignificant fragments." The messenger took a step back and replied respectfully, "This little amount is not enough to affect the ceremony. However, His Excellency Sand King thinks that it might be of help to you."
"…"
Huai Shi was silent for a long time. Then, he shook his head. "I came here as a guest of the Sand King. The Sand King has already invited me to a banquet. I made a promise. I don't think this is something a guest should accept. Please take it back. "
"His Excellency Sand King said that this is an investment."
As if he had expected this, the emissary raised his head and said, "This has nothing to do with the Astronomical Society. If you can become a friend of Australia in the future, then this will be a reward for your kindness."
"You think so highly of me?" Huai Shi was stunned.
"He said that a man like you ought to succeed," said the emissary, "because you are like him."
"…"
Huai Shi did not know how to respond.
Was it the same?
Huai Shi didn't know. He wasn't even sure what Sand King was referring to and didn't know how to refute him.
After a long while, he looked at the bottle in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, he should have refused. Was the Sand King trying to humiliate him?
But the things he gave her were simply too fragrant …
Even if it was like a speck of dust compared to the main body of a miracle, the nobility of this speck of dust could not be bought with money.
"Please tell him I've accepted it."
Huai Shi picked up the small bottle, raised his hand, and directly stuffed it into the hole in his chest.
It was better to keep such a precious item close to his body.
"Okay."
The emissary nodded and took two steps back. "I will be waiting for you downstairs. Before you leave Canberra, if you need anything, feel free to tell me."
"I will."
Huai Shi nodded.
.
It was still the emissary who drove the car. In the morning, Huai Shi restocked his saddlebag in Canberra and picked out some local specialties and items that he no longer needed in his backpack to send back to Xin Hai.
Naturally, he did not forget to give Ol 'Liu a helping of Overlord.
Even though he did not have the chance to visit Shambala anymore, he still had to show his appreciation.
It was just like how Ol 'Liu would post pictures of himself with various beautiful big sisters and large robots on WeChat whenever he was free.
The friendship between the two of them, which hurt each other, could last forever.
Then, Huai Shi went to the Astronomical Society's base in Australia to do a simple report and registration to prove that he had been there and had not done anything wrong.
However, when he heard that Huai Shi had walked over from Darwin, the local person in charge could not help but reveal a look of surprise, as if she was lying to a ghost.
After confirming that Huai Shi was telling the truth, their expression became even more bizarre.
How could there be such a young madman?
At noon, he and the local representative even found time to have a working lunch at the canteen. After all, it was a Astronomical Society, and they were all in good company. Even if it was a working lunch, it was not that bad.
The local was very polite, and they did not have any suspicion or rejection toward outsiders like Huai Shi.
Huai Shi also confirmed Sand King's plan from the local representative.
"From the looks of it, the last stumbling block has been removed by him."
The middle-aged representative put down the wine glass and wiped his mouth. "His plan will most likely succeed. After all, with such a large amount of cultivation base, after repairing the land near Canberra, he should be able to clean up the radiation in the bay area as well.
Is that what Dong Xia said? "
"Is the Astronomical Society not involved?" Huai Shi asked.
"Due to certain reasons, we do not intend to interfere too much with Australia's current situation."
The representative did not tell Huai Shi the secrets of the Continuation Institute and the buffer zone. Obviously, these secrets were not something that could be casually divulged.
"Sand King is a wise man who knows when to advance and retreat. He knows where his bottom line is, and he will not act rashly."
The representative pondered for a moment. "However, it is wise for you not to participate. After all, there are several international mining companies that monopolize the market, and they are not happy to see Australia's supply of goods suffer. These days, there have been many disputes. If there is any conflict, your identity will be very awkward, and you may be used as an excuse. "
Huai Shi laughed. "I'm just a Second Order Ascendant. What can I do?"
The representative could not help but laugh. "If you were just an ordinary Second Order Ascendant, that would be true."
He did not say anything else.
He raised his glass and toasted, ending the lunch, and wished Huai Shi a safe journey.
During the conversation, he hinted that he hoped Huai Shi would leave as soon as possible.
The longer he stayed in Australia, the more likely he would be involved. Even if Sand King did not intend to do so, his opponents would do their best to muddy the waters.
Coincidentally, Huai Shi did not plan to stay any longer.
He did not even go back to the hotel.
Anyway, he had brought all his belongings with him. After he left, he asked the driver to take him to the dock.
Before boarding the ship, he once again heard an explosion in the distance behind him.
When he turned around, he realized that it was in the direction of the hotel … He could not help but frown.
After the driver received a call, his expression suddenly became apologetic. He lowered his head and told Huai Shi that it was not Sand King's intention.
"I know." Huai Shi nodded and looked down at the report that had just been sent out. "But now, some people want to see what the astronomy club wants."
He had already given the excuse to the local representative.
He was not worried about being taken advantage of.
"You should go back. Sand King will probably need more people." Huai Shi stood in front of the stairs and said to the driver, "I should go too. Australia is not a place where I should stay for long."
"I wish you a safe trip."
"Same to you."
Huai Shi looked at him deeply. After handing the ticket to the crew, he was led into the cabin.
Next, it was time to focus on the journey.
Antarctica.
.
.
In fact, this ship took a long detour.
It did not go directly to the South Pole, but it was the earliest to arrive.
Because Australia did not have a direct flight to the South Pole, there was no need. On the contrary, the ore trade between Australia and America was very frequent.
This ship was used for both passengers and goods, but there were not many passengers.
According to the route, they would first go to America. After dropping off the precious goods, they would transfer a batch of equipment to the scientific research station in the South Pole. There, they could drop off Huai Shi.
According to Huai Shi's plan, after the trip was over and the 'birth of life' was settled, he could go to Mount Daiyu in Dongxia to replenish the last of the plant vitality and prepare for the advancement.
According to the message left by the Giant Goose Company yesterday, they had found the Undying Flame and were looking for clues. However, if they found it successfully, Huai Shi would need to make up the rest of the balance. This was because the Flame of the Undying was much larger than he had expected.
This was a good thing. Huai Shi would not reject it.
So now, the only thing he lacked was the 'Blood Hatred Crystal'.
Thinking of this, he opened Weibo and found the popular 'Bring Me Junior' and sent a private message.
"Hello? zaima?”
The other party replied at the speed of light, "No, cmn!"
Huai Shi raised his eyebrows. Then, he lightly tapped on the keyboard and replied with a '¿'.
On the other hand, Little Nineteen, who was used to doing business with a foul mouth, did not feel any negative emotions after sending the reply. He frowned and looked down at the name of the person who sent the private message.
'Little Peppa from Huaihai Road.'
Who was this?
Where had he heard this name before?
Wait … F * ck!
He was stunned for a long time before he finally remembered. Immediately, he was sweating profusely and could not help but shiver.
[Negative emotions from Little House in the Woods + 999!!!]
His hands had been impulsive and he had lost two days of business!
He was so blind that he did not see clearly and provoked this killing god!
Feeling the ominous aura above his head, he swallowed dryly and quickly replied, "Sorry, it's not me. I'm his cousin, Lin Yu."
"…"
Huai Shi was silent for a long time before replying, "Little brother, don't mess around. Blood Hatred Crystal, do you have a way?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Little Nineteen did not care about pretending to be someone else and replied crazily, "Big brother, how many do you want? I'll give you an internal price. There are two in my New Year's money this year, 50% off …"
At this point, he hesitated for a moment before he painfully deleted the 50% discount and changed it to 30%.
This time, he suffered a great loss.
"300 ounces, a whole piece, do you have it?"
This time, after Huai Shi sent, Lin Nineteen fell into a long silence.
Huai Shi thought for a moment and added, "I'll buy you at the normal market price. I won't take advantage of you."
"…"
Lin Nineteen replied with a long row of ellipses.
"Big brother, this is not a matter of money … I really can't help you with this amount."
300 ounces?
What a joke. Ever since Lin Nineteen was young, all his New Year's money added up would make him smile until he woke up with ten ounces, let alone a whole piece!
"Is it too much?"
"To be honest, no one can save up the amount you want … Why don't I introduce my ninth uncle to you? He's someone who values money more than his life. As long as you give him the money, he'll immediately go to the Yuezhou border and kill 160,000 Nigos! "
"Don't!"
Huai Shi was so scared that his hands trembled.
160,000 lives, his hands trembled just thinking about it!
Even Nigos could not do it!
Why was the advancement of this deluxe version of Young Master Si Ming so sinful!
