When people stood at different heights, they would have two very different ideas when looking at the same problem.
Even though Guo Caiying was born in a top political family in China and had experienced the so-called officialdom for a few years, so her horizons and knowledge were much higher than her peers, she was still a young girl who relied on the power of her father's generation to live a smooth life. The reason why Zhang Lisheng coincidentally asked her out was because she could not help but want to have more contact with this boy whom she had always felt mysterious and had a good impression of.
To Zhang Lisheng, who had already mastered tens of millions of square kilometers of land of faith and had the ambition to engulf the entire foreign world, the reason he came to see Guo Caiying was because he was not good at refusing.
Secondly, because he wanted to protect and expand the land of faith, the young man had an irreconcilable contradiction with the powerful Atlantis civilization. Adhering to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, of course, he wanted to maintain a good relationship with the major powers on Earth to share the pressure when necessary. The girl beside him could be said to be the best breakthrough for him to be friendly to China.
For this reason, even though Zhang Lisheng could tell from Guo Caiying's words that she had a deep fear of those who mastered supernatural abilities, he did not mind it at all. Instead, he echoed, "Letting a person who has a powerful power in his own body to have social rights will easily cause his ambition and desire to expand uncontrollably. This is indeed a very bad thing."
"You really think so, Junior Brother?" Guo Caiying was stunned and could not help but ask in surprise, "But don't you have a powerful witchcraft?"
"It's because I have a power that ordinary people can't imagine that I would think so …" Zhang Lisheng recalled his own experience and shrugged at the girl who was looking at him with her bright eyes. "Alright, Senior Sister, don't look at me with that kind of worship. The reason why humans are high-level primates is because we know how to reflect on ourselves.
In a society like Earth where people's wisdom has been widely developed, ordinary people may worship and admire those with supernatural powers, but they will never be willing to be led by them.
This is because deep in their hearts, people will subconsciously think that those who master supernatural powers are completely their own kind. Naturally, they will have a fear of 'those who are not of our kind must have a different heart'. For this reason, other than the potential influence brought by wealth, I have never sought any political power in the US.
It's not because I'm noble, but because other than having extraordinary power, I also have a smart enough mind. "
"Ha! I've finally met a Superman who doesn't want to be a Savior! Do you know, Junior Brother? This feels really good!" Guo Caiying naturally didn't know that the smiling young man in front of her needed the public's worship instead of recognition, so she blurted out.
"I feel good to hear that you're finally not talking to me in the strange tone that Chinese bureaucrats use." Zhang Lisheng shrugged and pointed at a Japanese restaurant that looked quite old on the street. "Ogawa Kyoto Cuisine, the only restaurant in New York that still imports Wagyu from Japan. Are you interested?"
"I didn't mean to speak to you in that hypocritical bureaucratic tone. It's a habit." Guo Caiying suddenly pulled the young man's hand and did not answer his question. Instead, she looked into his eyes seriously and explained.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere inexplicably became ambiguous. Zhang Lisheng, who had regained his humanity and became inflated, looked at the girl's short hair fluttering in the warm wind, her big dew-like eyes, her tall nose, and her pink soft lips. His heart suddenly began to beat faster, and his mouth became dry.
"Senior Sister, of course, I know that you didn't mean it …" Vaguely aware that his state was not right, the young man forced himself to calm down and said. However, his mouth was suddenly kissed lightly like a dragonfly touching the water.
At that instant, Zhang Lisheng's body froze. Guo Caiying's face also turned red, but she looked at the young man without any timidity. Restoring the playful smile she had when she was in college, she said, "I couldn't help it. Do I need to apologize?"
"I know that I'm very charming, but I didn't expect that I'm charming to this extent. There's no need for an apology.
What the hell am I saying? We're very awkward now, Senior Sister. Oh, are we still eating? "Zhang Lisheng said incoherently.
"Of course! What's there to be embarrassed about? My roommate in college was bored waiting for the plane, so she had sex with her best friend of the opposite sex in the bathroom of the Montreal Airport to kill time … Hmm, is this the life of young people?" Guo Caiying answered incoherently.
"Perhaps. Then, let's go eat Wagyu, okay?"
"Wagyu it is then." The girl nodded and walked to the Japanese restaurant not far away with the young man.
However, before they could even reach the door of the restaurant, a few dim light balls in the night sky pierced through the sky and fell at a high speed like a meteor, hovering in front of the two of them with a raging wind pressure.
"Are you Dr. Zhang Lisheng?" The light balls shrank inward and extinguished immediately. Four Atlanteans with bright red hair and fair skin landed lightly on the ground. The leader looked at Zhang Lisheng and asked politely.
"You've already flown directly in front of me. Can't you confirm my identity yet, Mr. Aliens?" The young man, who seemed to be at a loss a minute ago, had a change of expression. With an arrogant and calm smile, he said sarcastically.
"Doctor, we're the staff officers of the First Interstellar Fleet of Atlantis stationed in the New York military base." In the face of Zhang Lisheng's bad attitude, the Atlantean frowned with a gloomy expression but did not express any dissatisfaction. Instead, he took out his ID from his pocket and handed it over. "We'd like to ask you to return to the base to record the exploration information about the Shrimp World No. 2."
"Wharton Dulphee, third-class staff officer of the First Interstellar Fleet of Atlantis." Zhang Lisheng took the ID that depicted a flaming planet and a bald eagle and looked at it before casually saying, "Since when did the federal law enforcement authority become managed by the aliens? Don't tell me that the former 'selfless comrades' of the Earthlings have now openly subverted the White House?"
"Dr. Zhang, I don't understand. Please state the relationship between the exploration of the foreign world's intelligence and the federal law enforcement authority," Dulphee said stiffly.
"In that case, I don't have to go?"
"According to the relevant agreement between you, the United States of America government and the Atlantean fleet before the exploration of the 30009 World, the information statement is a necessary obligation."
"No matter how tactful you put it, I still have to go to the New York base tonight. In that case, aren't you guys here to exercise your law enforcement authority if I don't agree?"
Dulphee choked on his words and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. However, the pedestrians who would pay attention to him from time to time as he walked on the street made him unable to flare up. He could only suppress his emotions and growled in a low voice, "Doctor, I'm not here to have a debate with you. You better follow us obediently."
Upon seeing the Atlantean's angry look, Guo Caiying suddenly took half a step forward and stood in front of the young man. "Mr. Dulphee, I'm Chinese …"
"Senior Sister, this has nothing to do with you. I haven't fallen to the point of being protected by a girl yet.
Don't worry, the situation is actually under my control. I just didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to have dinner with you tonight. " Zhang Lisheng reached out to pull the girl behind him and whispered in her ear before shrugging at the Atlanteans. "Alright, since it's an obligation, I'll go back with you, alien gentlemen. But how should I go? Should I call a taxi?"
"What a funny joke, Doctor!" Dulphee smiled with a grave expression. Since the young man had already agreed to go back with him, he did not continue to be rude. He took a golf-ball-sized milky white cube from his waist and handed it over. "Just hold it tightly. We'll bring you back to the base."
Zhang Lisheng took the soft and elastic cube that seemed to be made of rubber and squeezed it curiously.
At once, a faint light radiated from his fist. His feet slowly hovered in the air as a round light shield appeared around his body.
"Wow, what an unimaginable means of transportation!" Stomping his feet hard, the young man realized that there seemed to be an invisible air cushion under his feet that he could not touch the ground at all.
"It's just a very ordinary simple aircraft on the planet. If it wasn't for the fact that it needs a light stone to guide its flight, we would have popularized it on Earth long ago." A proud expression appeared on Dulphee's face. "Alright, Doctor, let's go!" Waving his hands down with his companions, his body radiated a faint light as he hovered in the air.
"I'm Guo Caiying, Guo Caiying from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can investigate my identity.
Remember, I'll wait for the news of Dr. Zhang Lisheng leaving the New York base safely. I'll wait until he contacts me … "Watching Zhang Lisheng slowly ascending behind the Atlanteans, Guo Caiying, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly panicked inexplicably deep in her heart. Without warning, she lost her composure and shouted at the top of her lungs.
When the girl's words left her mouth, the Atlantean officer and the young man, who had climbed to a certain height and began to accelerate rapidly, had already turned into a meteor that drew a beautiful ray of light and disappeared into the night sky.
They flew in a straight line at a fast speed. A few minutes later, when Zhang Lisheng, who was looking around in the light ball, shifted his gaze from the big star to the ground, he realized that the brightly lit bustling city had been replaced by a military camp with dim street lights on the tree-lined road.
After more than ten seconds, under the guidance of the alien soldier, he slowly landed in front of a three-story office building that occupied a large area at the seaside military port.
"You're the most courageous Earthling I've ever seen flying in the air!" After landing, Dulphee, who had been accelerating all the way to watch the young man make a fool of himself, could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Zhang Lisheng was taken aback. Shrugging, he smiled. "I'm a biologist who has cooperated with an Atlantean sergeant major and explored the foreign world before. Of course, my courage is not that bad.
Alright, Staff Officer Dulphee, where are we going next? "
