Upon hearing Tugra's words, Zhang Lisheng, who had unknowingly turned Tudenan into a war machine that was neither a human nor a human, smiled. "I'm not worried about the safety of the tribe. The words I said just now are just to comfort you."
"Great Raider! Y-You really make me …" The Tudenan headman showed a half-sincere expression of gratitude.
"Alright, Tugra, don't be so emotional. You're my most valued believer so it's no big deal to comfort you.
I've thought about it carefully and I suddenly feel that after I leave, the tribe shouldn't blindly show off our strength. We might as well take the initiative to send some gifts to a powerful tribe that's far away like the Kamando to express our friendship.
I should conquer the nearby small tribes and make friends with the distant big tribes so that we can grow more safely. This is called 'befriending the distant and attacking the nearby'. "
"Befriending the distant and attacking the nearby? This is really an amazing wisdom method, Raider!
The Kamando tribe has always been ignorant, arrogant, greedy, and vain. As long as the gifts we give are valuable enough, they'll definitely be happy to accept it and give us some 'junk' in return. In this way, the big tribes of Eruya, Pelungia, Samru that have a population of 100,000 people will not dare to act rashly anymore … "
"This is not wisdom but a simple power play. My ancestors have already … Ah, forget it!
In your eyes, it should indeed be an amazing 'intelligence game'! " Upon seeing the Tudenan headman's excited look with his eyes wide open, the young man curled his lips in disdain and commanded the doll-like Ghostface to jump down from his shoulder with his mind, before landing on the ground to expand its body.
When he was using the 'connect' formula, the wizard power in his body surged so much that he almost could not control himself. Ever since he had conquered Mokacho, such a situation had happened again and again. This was a sign that his wizard power was about to make a breakthrough.
"It's obvious that I didn't put much effort in the battle but I've already drawn more than half of their hatred.
Picking the fruit is really hateful … "Feeling the boiling wizard power in his body, Zhang Lisheng smiled happily. After suppressing it for a while, he jumped onto the wizard gu's back and looked down at the Tudenan headman under his feet before finally instructing," I'm leaving, Tugra. I'll come back after 40 sunsets and sunrises at most. During this period of time, handle all the trivial matters properly. "
"Yes, Great Raider." Tugra knelt at the wizard gu's feet and said respectfully. As he knelt down, all the Tudenan tribesmen who stayed behind in the tribe also knelt down and buried their heads deep into the soil.
Sweeping his gaze across the caves that led directly to the underground Golden River, Zhang Lisheng suddenly felt a sense of steadiness and satisfaction. After looking at it greedily for a while, he finally commanded Ghostface to crawl on the invisible silk thread in the air and carried him into the jungle.
Leaping up and down in the foreign world's jungle, the wizard gu took less than two hours to carry the young man back to the city wall gate of the Shrimp B1 Island's human gathering place.
After changing into a dirty windbreaker, Zhang Lisheng walked into the gathering place. As usual, he took a big bag of steak and cola from the butcher shop opened by LS on the island and ate and drank without caring about his image. He returned to his residence and washed up. After changing into new clothes, he walked leisurely to the beach and bought a ferry ticket.
After waiting for a while under the sun of the late autumn afternoon with the sea breeze blowing, the ship's whistle finally resonated as it slowly approached the shore.
More than ten minutes later, it carried him back to the bustling new New York port.
After returning to the civilized world, Zhang Lisheng followed the plan he had already made up in his mind and did not return to New York City at all. Instead, he directly took a taxi and rushed to JFK International Airport.
After he was lucky enough to buy a direct flight ticket to San Francisco in the evening, he rushed back to Stanford University the next day.
The campus was still quiet. Zhang Lisheng walked empty-handed to his apartment building that was surrounded by green trees and lawns. Its outer wall was painted in milky white and beige and walked in as though it was a lifetime ago.
There were already very few people playing in the spacious corridor. Even though the faces swaying back and forth still looked youthful, their expressions were much calmer. Most of them were holding textbooks or tablets filled with research materials in their hands.
Most of the young people who could squeeze into the world's top universities might allow themselves to indulge a little in the first year to adapt to the university environment after living independently. However, when they entered the second year, they would inevitably put everything on the right track.
Following behind two tall and sturdy college boys who were wearing light green thin sweaters that looked like a couple's outfits, who had their arms around each other's shoulders and were discussing their schoolwork in a low voice with a smile, Zhang Lisheng walked up to the A011 room and twisted the door handle. When he realized that it did not budge, he knocked on the door with force.
"Hey, buddy! Can't you see the belt on the handle? No matter who it is, don't joke around at this time …" A few seconds later, a panting shout resonated from the room.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned. Instinctively, he lowered his head to take a look. He noticed that even though the mottled bright iron handle of the slightly old milky white door was empty, there was a wrinkled thin leather belt lying on the ground.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Jerry. Your belt fell on the ground. I didn't see it." Even though he did not spend much time in the university, Zhang Lisheng, who had lived in the US for a long time, knew very well what a tie and belt hanging outside the boys' dormitory meant.
"L-Lisheng? Sh * t! Is that you, roommate? W-Why did you come back so coincidentally today …"
"It's alright, it's alright! I'll hang the belt back on the door handle for you and then walk around the campus. Y-You can enjoy it slowly, buddy!" The young man said as he picked up the belt on the ground and hung it on the door handle.
Upon seeing his considerate action, a strange blonde girl who happened to walk by with her boyfriend smiled and patted Zhang Lisheng's shoulder. "You're such a good roommate …" The girl's boyfriend also gave Zhang Lisheng a thumbs-up solemnly.
At this time, Jerry's shout resonated from the room again, "Thank you, buddy! Come back in two hours! I'll treat you to pizza tonight!"
"Thanks for the compliment!" The young man smiled wryly at the couple passing by in the corridor and raised his voice to say, "There's no need for that, Jerry. If I walk into the lab, I might not go back to the dormitory tonight. Goodbye!" Then, he quickly walked out of the dormitory.
The bicycle that he left outside the building had long disappeared without a trace. Zhang Lisheng pondered for a while and walked to the biological laboratory building. Halfway through his journey, he suddenly felt a surge in his heart. Then, he felt a fleeting sense of hunger and thirst all over his body.
"I've made a breakthrough! I've made a breakthrough just like that …" On the spacious campus avenue, Zhang Lisheng, who was walking along the roadside, suddenly froze as he muttered in surprise.
Even though the feeling of being about to make a breakthrough to Rank-8 Wizard had been lingering in his heart for more than 30 days, due to the reason that the young man had been busy transplanting the Gold Core fragments for the aborigines recently, he rarely cultivated the secret method. For this reason, he felt that he was still far away from making a breakthrough. However, he did not expect that on the first day after he left Shrimp B1 Island, he would usher in the opportunity to make a breakthrough.
When he snapped back to reality, he subconsciously touched the wyrmdragon that had shrunk to several tens of centimeters long and had coiled into a ball in his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's fortunate that I've come prepared and brought Crocodragon with me. Otherwise, I'd have to take a bus back to San Francisco." As he continued to stride forward, he looked around for the bus stop on the campus.
As the second largest university in the US and the location of Silicon Valley, the forefront of the world's technology, the public transportation system in Stanford was very developed. Before he had even walked 200 meters, Zhang Lisheng already saw a bus shelter with only a wooden chair on it by the roadside. There was a bus sign erected next to the shelter.
He walked to the empty shelter and anxiously waited for the school bus. Not long after, he felt that the wizard power in his body began to boil spontaneously again. For this reason, he sat on the wooden chair and closed his eyes to suppress it.
There were a total of 12 breakthroughs in order to become a Grand Wizard and the number '8' was exactly two-thirds of the way. Adding on to the fact that he had absorbed the third wizard gu, he had completed half of the process of turning from life to death. For this reason, the pain that the young man was feeling right now was different from when he was close to breaking through in the past.
"This is simply the feeling of having to forcefully transform to make a breakthrough after my wizard power has reached the level of promotion without a good wizard gu.
So it turns out that if I don't make preparations in advance when I reach Rank-7 Wizard, I won't even have the chance to 'wait' anymore. "After suppressing the wizard power that was surging in his body for a while, Zhang Lisheng felt that the effect was not great. Frowning, he gritted his teeth and whispered," This must be common sense, but I don't know anything about it at all.
I don't even know what kind of taboos I'll encounter in the future if I cultivate like this. Don't tell me that I really have to go to the Gate of Witchcraft … "
When he was clenching his fists and muttering to himself in pain, he suddenly heard a clear female voice resonating in his ears. "Student, do you need help?
Ah, Junior Brother Lisheng, it's you! Y-Why do you look so pale? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?
Say something! Hey, hey! Can you open your eyes? Look at my fingers! How many are these? " Then, he felt a warm sweaty palm slapping on his face.
The young man opened his eyes and saw a panic-stricken delicate face with two fingers waving in front of his eyes. Feebly, he said, "It's you, Senior Sister Caiying. What a coincidence!"
"It's good that you can still recognize me." The short-haired girl from China, who had given Zhang Lisheng a bicycle before and could be considered as a friend, breathed a sigh of relief. However, she continued to wave her fingers and persistently asked, "Then, can you recognize how many are these?"
"Two." Zhang Lisheng cheered up and said, "I'm not an idiot, Senior Sister. It's alright, I'm just a little too tired. I'll be fine after a short rest."
"Tired? Then why didn't you go back to the dormitory?"
"I've been on Shrimp B1 Island for the past few months and I've just flown back to school today. In the end, I saw a belt on the doorknob of the dormitory …"
"Oh, that's unfortunate!" Guo Caiying was stunned for a moment before shrugging in an American manner. Unable to contain her laughter, she said, "For this reason, you had no choice but to go to the bus stop on campus to rest.
How pitiful! "
