Tang Qiuqiu didn't know what kind of fun place Huimao was talking about. She never thought that she'd be able to get to the place Silin was talking about this way.
When they were passing through the "passage", everyone was sitting in their seats with their shields down. It wasn't a pleasant experience.
Silin put Tang Qiuqiu's shield to sleep, so Tang Qiuqiu didn't feel too uncomfortable during the journey from the League of Stars to the Mist Bodhisattva Empire. When she woke up again, they were already in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire.
The monitor showed that it was still a starry sky outside, and nothing special could be seen.
The bastion had appeared very close to where they had left, and there were no patrols or people in that area.
One of the monitors inside the bastion was showing news in a language Tang Qiuqiu had never heard before. Silin put on a translator so that Tang Qiuqiu could better understand the lifestyle, social system, and everything else that was different from the League of Stars.
Czedow didn't need a translator. He had already memorized the language of the empire and some of the major planets' dialects from the program Silin and Moon provided.
Xi Mu's translator wouldn't be of much use anyway. He might not be able to memorize every language like Czedow, but he had a pretty good grasp of the common tongue.
Huimao couldn't wait to log into the "return" forum the moment he returned.
The "return" forum had just been established when he left, and it was still in a period of rapid growth. Now, it was the largest academic forum in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire, and the one with the strongest backing.
Xi Mu could see the uniqueness of the forum from the login screen. There were two badges of authority: one from the Mist Bodhisattva Imperial Family, and the other from the Royal Mist Bodhisattva Academy. Xi Mu had just arrived, but Xi Kai had told him a lot about the Mist Bodhisattva Empire before Tang Qiuqiu, Czedow, and the others. Because of this, he also understood the significance of these two patterns. Among them were members of the royal family, the royal family, and other nobles. Xi Mu was surprised that Silin was able to win their recognition and support.
The "return" forum that had once caused a storm in the academic world was now known to most people in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire. Some people made money by answering the bounty questions in the forum. From some news reports, many civilians benefited from this forum. Some of them went from being penniless to being filthy rich.
The rapid development of the Return Forum resulted in countless new registrations. The number of people in the forum left the royal family and the RAS speechless. The forum had stabilized, and the number of visitors wasn't growing as fast as it used to be. The last time Huimao logged in, the forum hadn't been up for long. Thanks to the influx of new people and talented people, the name "Hubie Lu" had long since been forgotten by most people. Someone would occasionally mention the name, but it was quickly brushed away. After all, most of the new registrations didn't know who the "quarreling expert" was. Moreover, a lot of famous scholars and big shots intentionally avoided the name because they didn't want to see or hear it at all.
The disappearance of "Hubie Lu" allowed a lot of people to breathe a sigh of relief. Gradually, the name faded from people's minds. The "arena" topic on the forums had become a hot topic, and countless people were paying attention to it. Many of the Mist Bodhisattva Empire's theories had been overturned in the "arena", and it had become a habit for scholars, media, and spectators to log into the forums and watch the debates.
It was the same today. However, compared to the day Huimao left, the number of spectators had multiplied many times, and the "arena" had become a lot more complete. It was obvious that the Mist Bodhisattva Imperial Family and the RAS had put a lot of effort into this forum.
However, today was a special day. While a heated debate was taking place in the 'arena', and the talented people and the famous authorities of various space zones were commenting on the forum, a name that had not appeared for a long time suddenly lit up.
Then, when the "arena" was about to end and the next one was about to begin, a loudspeaker blared on the forum —
"My children! I'm back! "
It was a very arrogant tone.
There really wasn't a single person in the "arena" who dared to make a ruckus outside of the few famous authorities. That was why everyone who was discussing the "arena" just now stopped talking after Huimao's declaration.
Some curious people wanted to see who this arrogant guy was, but they soon discovered that the "arena"'s "hegemon" status was Level 0.
This time, some people started howling. You're just Level 0, my ass!
A bunch of people started criticizing "Hubie Lu" one after another. However, some people soon noticed that the celebrities who had been chatting just a moment ago had all fallen silent.
In the end, an old user revealed "Hubie Lu's" glorious past.
The forum erupted once more.
Sitting in front of the Battlestar Alliance's microcomputer, Huimao shook his beard in annoyance. "I can't believe there's a hegemon level. Holy shit, I won so many battles when the forum was first created, but I didn't even get a single hegemon level!"
The winner of a debate in the "arena" would get a hegemon badge, and the number of battles they participated in and the number of wins and losses would be calculated accordingly to their hegemon level. However, it was set up later on when the "arena" system was perfected, and the overlord rank of the "arena" had also been implemented since then. Wheeze had left with Cillin before that, so it must not have been able to fish out a rank yet.
After Huimao logged in, Moon entered the forum as well. Sigma, Czedow, and Xi Mu were also registered in "The Return". In just one day, a few troublesome characters appeared on the "The Return" forum, and a lot of people fainted from anger.
Tang Qiuqiu couldn't understand what Wheeze and the others were talking about, and she didn't know much about academics either. She had never been to school, and she didn't want to go to school either. Uninterested, she took Cillin's Purgatory Thunder Snake and went to the training room to practice.
The first destination Battlestar Alliance visited was Xi Kai's electronic planet. Xi Mu, Moon, and Sigma would stay with Xi Kai for the time being.
Sigma looked very sad when he saw Chip in his current state. To avoid embarrassment, Xi Kai didn't show up in front of them. He wanted the three brothers to talk to each other.
After a thousand years, Sigma was finally able to see his brothers again. Of the five Original robot brothers, only three were left. In Moon's words, only two and a half were left.
Sigma hugged a cable attached to Chip's body, blue light streaming down his face like tears.
"You're still the same, Sigma. You haven't changed a bit." Chip looked at Sigma and patted it with a cable. Then he looked at Moon and said, "You don't have to be so sad. It's not like there's no turning back. Let me show you something."
… …
Sigma, Sigma, and Sigma wouldn't be leaving the electronic planet anytime soon. Xi Mu would stay here to learn more about the Gen Family. That was why Silin, Tang Qiuqiu, Czedow, and Huimao were arguing with the busy guy at Forum Road. Then, they left on a spaceplane.
Silin didn't need to deal with Black Viper at all. As long as they didn't cause too much trouble, Silin didn't need to deal with those brainless bastards at all.
After leaving Xi Kai's electronic planet, Silin's first destination was the imperial capital. There were some things he wanted to discuss with Gensheng and Angenia.
Xi Kai was the one who provided the spaceplane, and it didn't have any noble insignia or special codes. After Silin inputted some information, the spaceplane was able to travel unimpeded across many star realms.
Tang Qiuqiu was very unfamiliar with this galaxy, and she was also very curious about it. To think that such a large galaxy was actually an empire, unlike the GAL where there were many different forces. However, Tang Qiuqiu was very dissatisfied with the system of the nobles. She did not like the way they looked at her with superiority. Of course, to Tang Qiuqiu herself, anyone could become a sniper target, whether they were nobles or commoners.
There were many patrolling fleets and guards at the edge of the imperial star system. Most people who came to the imperial star system had to enter through a designated entrance, but some special nobles in the imperial capital had other entrances. Silin also entered through another entrance, which belonged to the Fudge royal family, the Gen family. Those who entered and exited were all people related to the Gen family, and the spaceplanes and starships that came and went all had the royal family's insignia on them.
Silin's spaceplane stood out among these extravagant spaceplanes and spaceplanes, and the patrolling fleets couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to.
"Who's that?"
"It's a commoner's spaceplane, isn't it?"
"Guards! What's with that spaceplane? "
The nobles who saw Silin's spaceplane all began to make a ruckus. It was embarrassing to see a spaceplane without any noble insignia in the exclusive passage of the nobles, and it was such a 'shabby' spaceplane at that.
However, what surprised these people was that not only did the patrolling fleets not stop the spaceplane, they even opened up a path for it to fly in unimpeded. Some dissatisfied people had their servants drive the spaceplane over to stop it, but who knew that the patrolling fleets would turn around and stop them instead.
Some people with brains knew that something was wrong, so they quickly held back and stopped making a ruckus. However, the brainless ones were still clamoring to complain and remove the patrolling fleet captain from his position.
The patrolling fleet captain didn't reply to them at all. Listening to the 'righteous' threats coming from the communicator, the patrolling fleet captain pursed his lips. 'Go ahead and complain, you'll be the ones to suffer.' Who would dare stop the spaceplane with a direct order from King Fuji and the previous King Fuji?!
Silin flew past the extravagant spaceplanes and spaceplanes, heading straight for Genya's planet.
Once King Fuji's order was issued, it would definitely be recorded on the other side. Every order corresponded to a specific person, so after Silin took out the order, Genya quickly received the news. Genya, who was sitting in the courtyard playing with Tortoise, couldn't sit still anymore. He resisted the urge to send someone to meet him. After all, it would be too much of a commotion if he sent someone, and it was better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to Silin.
After sitting for two seconds, Genya got up and walked around the courtyard, looking up at the sky. When he finally saw the spaceplane flying in his direction, Genya felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what news Silin would bring him. On one hand, Genya was eager to know about Angenia and the others, but on the other hand, Genya was afraid that it would be bad news that he didn't want to hear.
What a contradiction! How uneasy!
There was a landing spot around Genya's courtyard, and the people around it were all people that Genya trusted. After receiving Genya's notice, they quickly cleaned up the landing spot and received the spaceplane.
They were already very familiar with Silin. Although they were surprised that Silin had left for such a long time, they didn't say anything. Firstly, their identities didn't allow them to do so. Every core member of the Gen Family knew about Silin and Genya's relationship. Everyone treated him like the Young Prince of the Gen Family. Secondly, Silin was a celebrity in the Mist Bodhisattva Family, and a celebrity's actions were always unpredictable and unpredictable.
Logically speaking, Silin had to go through a series of inspections before he could bring two strangers over. But Genya had given the order, so the guards didn't have to go through that step.
Tang Qiuqiu and Czedow followed Silin into the courtyard next to the sea. The courtyard was huge, and what surprised Tang Qiuqiu the most was the sea next to it. If Silin hadn't told her about it beforehand, Tang Qiuqiu wouldn't have thought that it was an artificial sea.
Huimao let out a high-pitched howl the moment he arrived.
Then, a thick pillar of water shot into the sky from the artificial sea very quickly. Before the pillar of water even hit the ground, an enormous figure appeared on the surface of the sea and moved swiftly towards the courtyard by the shore. It let out a howl similar to Huimao's as it moved.
The surrounding guards laughed. Blue Skin had been depressed for so many days, but now that Silin and Huimao had finally returned, it was obvious that the big fellow was in a good mood.
"Blue Skin, I've missed you so much!"
Huimao sprinted, jumped into the air and spread its wings.
The guards outside the courtyard were dumbfounded.
It had been a while since they last saw it, and now it could actually fly!
It's a fucking flying Lynx!
Huimao flapped its wings proudly and flew towards Blue Skin.
Blue Skin was sad because Silin and Huimao hadn't come to visit and comfort them for a long time. His appetite hadn't been great lately, and he hadn't been hunting much, so the number of fish in the artificial sea had increased a lot. But now, Blue Skin's mood skyrocketed. After it popped its head out of the water, it swung its tail and swam backwards in circles, howling as it did so.
Tang Qiuqiqiu's eyes twitched uncontrollably when she saw this. Blue Skin had shocked her quite a bit when he first appeared. There was no doubt that he was a sea beast, but now Tang Qiuqiqiu had the urge to go up and shoot the big fellow a couple of times.
Is this a fucking sea beast? This was a miniature version of the Alien Seal!
After Silin greeted Blue Skin, he went into the house with Genya to discuss business. Tang Qiuqiqiu and Czedow were sitting in the spacious courtyard. One of them was reading a book in the Mist Bodhisattva language, and the other was eating candy produced by the Lhasa Empire obediently.
Inside the house, Silin played a video of Angenia and the others to Genya. Genya couldn't help but tear up as he stared at the people in the video. His long-separated wife and son were in the video. The last time he saw Gensheng, he was still a tiny child. He couldn't have been bigger when he picked him up. There were also his grandson and granddaughter. Gensheng's name contained the word "Xing" … Genya felt that his life had been worth it!
Some of the videos were recorded by Silin himself, and some were given to him by Angenia. The ones about Gensheng, Gen Xingfu, and Gen Xingji were all part of Angenia's collection.
Genya was a little worried about the League of Stars, but there wasn't much he could do right now. The passageway wasn't stable yet, and he couldn't send reinforcements even if he wanted to.
"Sector S is relatively stable right now. The three great forces have made up their minds, and they're all cooperating with each other. Considering their connections, the flames of war won't extend to them."
Cillin explained the current situation to Genya, and the latter felt a lot more at ease.
Silin even mentioned Food King Hara. Genya couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the image of Food King Hara. He was happy for Hara's current achievements.
Genya felt like he had become a lot younger after hearing so much good news. His mental state was the main problem. Although Genya's body had been improving ever since he returned to the Gen Family, his mental state was the main problem.
That being said, Genya's face was glowing every day after Silin returned with the good news.
"Oh right, Silin, why don't you stay here and rest for a couple of days? You can go look for Guan Feng later. That guy has a bad temper lately, and I don't know why, but a lot of his students have been scolded."
Bad temper?
Guan Feng usually displayed his gentle and scholarly side, so what exactly was it that made Guan Feng lose his temper?
"I don't know why he's so angry, but it can't be a big deal. I think it's his personal business," Genya added.
Since it wasn't a big deal, Silin didn't worry about it. It wasn't Black Viper, the RAS, or the empire's politics. He heard that Guan Feng had a bad temper for the past couple of days, so Silin decided to leave it to his senior brothers and sisters.
After resting at Genya's place for a couple of days, Genya treated both Czedow and Tang Qiuqiu very well. He knew that Czedow loved books, so he sent over a lot of collectible books. He also sent over all kinds of candies and things to protect Tang Qiuqiu's teeth. Candies must be eaten, and teeth must be protected.
After staying at Genya's place for a couple of days, Silin left for the affiliated schools.
As an honorary scholar of the RAS, Silin had a lot more freedom than most people in the affiliated schools. Not many people paid attention to Silin now, even though he used to be at the top of AF3's ranking. When Silin first disappeared, a lot of people doubted Silin's abilities. His absence made those who didn't think highly of Silin believe their own judgment even more. That was until one of the results of Guan Feng's big project was announced not long ago. Guan Feng was listed at the top of the list, and Silin was right behind him. The project introduction also included all kinds of achievements Silin had made in the project.
The voices of doubt had died down, but many people who wanted to find Silin discovered that Silin was nowhere to be found. No matter how much effort they put in, they just couldn't find him.
It was lunchtime, and Guan Feng was cooking a "nutritious meal" for himself as usual. Guan Feng had just sat down when Cillin arrived. However, Guan Feng's expression didn't change when he saw Cillin. He didn't make a sound, and he didn't say anything when Wheeze shamelessly jumped onto the table to eat his food.
Silin sat on the sofa in the living room and didn't interrupt Guan Feng's meal.
Guan Feng finished his lunch and had the robot take care of the dishes. He wiped his mouth, rinsed his mouth and wiped his face. Then, he leaned against the sofa with a cup of tea in hand. "You're finally willing to come back?"
He sure was angry.
Silin smiled. He didn't try to find an excuse or explain himself.
"Get out of my sight. I'm going to take an afternoon nap." Guan Feng turned around and prepared to go upstairs after he said this unhurriedly.
"Two sentences, Teacher Guan. I'll leave immediately after that."
Guan Feng stopped and looked at Silin. "Half a minute."
"Alright."
Cillin passed Guan Feng a document with some data and icons on it.
Guan Feng took two minutes to read through the document, which was longer than the half a minute he gave himself. This meant that Silin didn't have to leave for now.
It was a document about the Purgatory Thunder Snake C. Silin had modified some parts of the original design after using it. Since he had experienced it himself, he naturally understood some of the details.
Guan Feng didn't say anything about the document. Instead, he asked, "What's the second thing?"
"The second thing is that I've let someone else use the Purgatory Thunder Snake B, E, and K. Moreover, she's doing very well right now. I hope that you can meet her, Teacher Guan. "
Guan Feng paused his movement of drinking tea and sat down on the sofa.
Guan Feng's action made Silin feel a lot more reassured. This was a discussion.
Guan Feng put down his cup and asked, "Information."
Silin handed Guan Feng a document about Tang Qiuqiu that he had prepared a long time ago. "She's uneducated, but she has the best gun sense and talent I've ever seen."
Guan Feng didn't comment on Silin's evaluation, but he couldn't deny that he was shocked when he saw Tang Qiuqiu's information.
She was young, uneducated, and her body was weak at the beginning. But all of that was wiped out by the shooting data later on.
Why was Guan Feng so angry recently? It was because he couldn't find a second person who was suitable to use the S gun other than Silin! Goryeo, Pistura, and Fu Qingqing were all applying to use the Purgatory Thunder Snake S gun. Goryeo's gun model had changed from E to K, and he thought that he had mastered K as well. He wanted to apply to use the S gun just like his senior brothers and sisters.
However, they were all scolded away by Guan Feng. Some people even came over to plead for mercy, and Guan Feng didn't hold back. That was how his temper came to be.
Recently, Guan Feng was wondering if he should go out and find more suitable people to train. He didn't like anyone in the affiliated school, and they were all arrogant bastards. He wouldn't even spare them a glance, much less a Purgatory Thunder Snake.
However...
Guan Feng stared at the document in his hand and pondered.
Czedow and Tang Qiuqiu were waiting in the flying car outside Guan Feng's apartment. Guan Feng didn't allow strangers inside.
The moment Tang Qiuqiu put a candy in her mouth, Silin told Tang Qiuqiu to come in through the communicator.
Tang Qiuqiu grabbed the candy bag and touched the barrel out of habit. She suddenly remembered that the barrel was at the League of Stars's building, and that she had come with the Purgatory Thunder Snake Silin had given her. However, Silin had put away the Purgatory Thunder Snake, so she didn't have a gun with her. Plus, guns weren't allowed in the affiliated school.
Tang Qiuqiu was a little uncomfortable without a gun, so she was a little uneasy. It was only when she saw Silin after she walked through the door that Tang Qiuqiu's uneasiness eased a little. Sitting down next to Silin, Tang Qiuqiu examined Guan Feng from head to toe. Is this the person who set up the Purgatory Thunder Snake?
While Tang Qiuqiu was examining Guan Feng, Guan Feng was examining Tang Qiuqiu as well. He could see a bit of uneasiness in Tang Qiuqiu's eyes, but nothing else. She was a very pure person.
Guan Feng gave her a good impression in his mind.
"Are you feeling uneasy?" Guan Feng asked.
"Yes," Tang Qiuqiu admitted openly. Moreover, with Silin around, Tang Qiuqiu wasn't afraid of anything happening. She was a lot calmer.
"Why?"
"I don't have a gun."
Guan Feng let out a rare chuckle at Tang Qiuqiu's answer. It was the first time Guan Feng had laughed in so many days.
"Come with me."
Guan Feng rose to his feet and led Silin and Tang Qiuqiu to the shooting room.
Guan Feng's shooting room was the best one Tang Qiuqiu had ever seen in her life. Everything inside the room was of high quality, and the protective gear was of excellent craftsmanship.
Guan Feng pressed a button, and the wall split down the middle to reveal a shelf. Guan Feng took out a box from one of the shelves. He opened the box and found a pile of gun parts inside. There was a Purgatory Thunder Snake pattern on the box.
Guan Feng quickly assembled the parts into a gun with a wave of his hand. Tang Qiuqiu recognized the gun, and Silin had one as well.
It was a Purgatory Thunder Snake K.
Guan Feng passed the assembled Purgatory Thunder Snake K to Tang Qiuqiu. "Try it."
Tang Qiuqiu shot Silin a glance and accepted the gun under Silin's encouraging gaze.
Guan Feng was the one who controlled the target, so Tang Qiuqiu didn't know where the target would come from, how big it was, or how fast it would be.
"Are you ready?" Guan Feng rarely asked this question. He usually didn't ask this question when he was testing his students. He always started straight away.
"No."
Tang Qiuqiu walked to the side and put on the protective gear on the shelf. Then, she stood at the shooting point.
"I'm ready," Tang Qiuqiu said.
Guan Feng's students didn't wear protective gear during the shooting test unless Guan Feng requested it. Tang Qiuqiu was the first one to do so.
Guan Feng didn't say anything when Tang Qiuqiu put on the protective gear. He turned on the control switch.
The image inside the room changed, and it looked like Tang Qiuqiu was standing in a forest full of trees.
Whoosh —
A green object that looked almost the same color as the surrounding scenery flew out.
Bang!
Tang Qiuqiu fired the first shot.
Then, the targets appeared one after another. Tang Qiuqiu fired again and again. Her movements were a bit jerky at first, but now she was very familiar with them. With Tang Qiuqiu's stamina, there was almost no time for her to aim.
Seeing that Tang Qiuqiu was in the zone, Silin pulled over a chair and sat down. He believed that Tang Qiuqiu would give Guan Feng a pleasant surprise.
