Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the off-road vehicle dealership, glanced at the Bannerman in the rearview mirror, then looked at the large black leather suitcase and a set of casual clothes on the passenger seat. He curled his lips and turned on the car's navigation system. He stepped on the accelerator and left the abandoned building along the rugged mountain road.
As for the Bannerman, Xiao Ran had no desire to obtain it. The Bannerman's grade was only D, and it was extremely inconvenient to drive it anywhere, unless he transported it to a place that no one cared about. However, Xiao Ran now had the ability to send the Bannerman to a place that no one cared about. Why would he need to drive a D-grade Bannerman?
Moreover, it had been more than a few hours since he entered the world. The inexplicable test had ended, but the main mission had not been released yet. This made Xiao Ran feel a little puzzled. At present, there was no way to obtain information from the outside world, and there was no way to know if the plot had begun. However, according to the car's navigation system, he was now in the territory of the Union, and the distance from New York City where Sherry Dew was located was still very far. In short, there was no way to reach Sherry Dew's location with this off-road vehicle.
Fortunately, the navigation system stated that the nearest city was only three hours away from him. Xiao Ran decided to go there first to solve the problem of food and drink, and then find a way to reach Sherry Dew's location. He also had to confirm whether the current plot had begun or not, and organize his thoughts that had become somewhat chaotic due to the inexplicable start of the mission.
After waiting for more than three hours, Xiao Ran also arrived at a city that he had never heard of. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal. After all, he was just an ordinary person before he came to Prometheus. Moreover, this was not the earth he lived on, so it was normal for him to not know anything.
Originally, Xiao Ran planned to sell a few pieces of jewelry to exchange for some money, but he did not expect that after the inexplicable test, the black suitcase in the car was neatly placed with a lot of jewelry. According to the Union currency unit, there were about 500,000 yuan, which was more than enough for Xiao Ran's normal consumption in this world.
He parked the car in front of a luxurious hotel. In the car, Xiao Ran changed into the casual clothes on the co-pilot seat and stored the pilot's uniform in the storage compartment. Then, he carried his suitcase into the hotel. He naturally had an identity card. Although his real identity was a borderless person, he would also have a formal identity certificate. At most, he would not have an international identity. In this world, there were countless people with identities similar to Xiao Ran's after the political situation on Earth changed. Therefore, there was no problem for Xiao Ran to stay in the hotel.
After having dinner in the suite, Xiao Ran sat and drank tea while thinking about what to do next. Of course, he couldn't give up the advantage of knowing the plot, but he had to think about how to use the plot to maximize the benefits.
As for today's test, Xiao Ran wasn't too sure if the people behind today's test were the Celestials. After all, the start of the mission was indeed a little complicated for someone like him who knew some things but didn't fully understand the Celestials.
"If I join the Celestials, the restrictions may be great, and there will be too little free time for me to arrange things." Xiao Ran thought while drinking tea, "The worst thing is to have a bomb tied to my neck, or to be handcuffed. In that case, I can only passively follow the development of the plot. "
"But joining the Celestials should also have some benefits. I can come into contact with the solar furnace, GN particles, and new bodies. If the people behind this test are really the Celestials, Angels, or those hidden families, does it mean that I may be under observation now? No matter what force it is, I have to be careful in the future. I'm afraid I can't find Sherry Dew for the time being, or I can only appear by her side in other ways. "
"If it's really the Celestials, then if the other party comes to invite me, should I join the Celestials?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, "Once I join the Celestials. Maybe because of the mission, I'll have to join the UNION, AEU, and the Human Revolution Alliance very early on. That will also conflict with my temporary goal. "
"After all, in this world, I'm going to find a way to get the rank of Brigadier General and achieve a grand slam. Maybe I can even get a title or something. Maybe I can accept the invitation of the Celestials, but I'll stay in another camp for the time being. " Xiao Ran put down the teacup and nodded while thinking, "And in order to achieve my goal better, maybe I should have an ally with a powerful family or force in this world."
After thinking about it, Xiao Ran already had a few targets in mind that could be allies. But now, he was not qualified to talk to the other party on an equal footing. The precious jewels in his inventory could be used to manipulate them. After all, no matter which world it was, money could buy a lot of things.
After thinking about how to proceed in this world, Xiao Ran dialed Sherry Dew's communication device. The call was picked up after a few rings. Sherry Dew's happy voice sounded in Xiao Ran's ear, "You're already here? Where are you? I'll pick you up right away. "
Hearing Sherry Dew's voice, Xiao Ran felt a little more relaxed. He smiled, "Not yet, but I'll be in the city you're in tomorrow."
"You'll only arrive tomorrow? What have you been doing all day today? " Sherry Dew muttered in a somewhat angry voice, "You left me here for a month. Instead of coming to find me immediately, you're still hanging around outside."
Hearing this, the image of Sherry Dew's dissatisfied face appeared in Xiao Ran's mind. He could not help but shake his head and smile, "Okay, I'll be there tomorrow. But now I seem to be targeted by an organization, so I can't find you normally. I'll find a way to meet you after I get there."
"You're being targeted?" Sherry Dew's voice suddenly changed a little, "Didn't you just arrive today? How could you be targeted? Is the situation serious?"
"It's not serious, but it's best to avoid implicating you."
"Okay, be careful. Don't force yourself. I can take care of myself here. You have a sensible and reasonable star like me as your girlfriend, so you should be content. Don't do anything messy outside when I'm not around. "
"I know." Xiao Ran smiled and hung up the phone with Sherry Dew for almost an hour.
The next morning, Xiao Ran checked out of the hotel and drove to the city's airport. After ditching his car, he got on the plane and went to the city where Sherry Dew was located. It was an important city of the Union, New York City.
After getting off the plane, Xiao Ran only called Sherry Dew to tell her that he had arrived. After getting Sherry Dew's address, he hung up the phone. He did not immediately go to Sherry Dew's residence. Instead, he went to a hotel near Sherry Dew's residence. After settling down, he went to an electronic shopping mall to buy a mobile phone, a laptop, and other things. He also bought some clothes. Then he stayed in the hotel for three days, using his laptop to search for things he needed on the Internet.
"Wang Liumei, a socialite in the financial circle of the Chinese Revolutionary Federation, the head of the Wang Family, a top family in the Chinese Revolutionary Federation."
"The Halaway Family, the actual leader of a large multinational consortium. There are four main members in the family, the Halaway couple, a son, and a daughter."
"Alejandro Cona, the United Nations ambassador. His family is quite rich and powerful in the United Nations."
"Marina Ismail, the princess of the Azadistan Kingdom. She is currently running around the world for the country's energy crisis."
Wang Liumei, the Halaway Family, Alejandro Cona, and Princess Marina. These four people or families were the targets that Xiao Ran wanted to form an alliance with. Of course, the alliance and whatnot were just Xiao Ran's thoughts at the moment. No matter who it was, these four options were not easy to come into contact with.
Among them, Princess Marina directly represented a country. She had independent administrative rights and even some military power. She could help Xiao Ran achieve his goal in the shortest time possible. It could be said that this was a very good choice, but at the same time, it was also the worst choice because Princess Marina was very weak in terms of both financial power and authority.
Then, there was Alejandro Cona, the BOSS of the first season of Gundam 007. He was a very ambitious person, but he was also a fool who was used by others. The benefit of cooperating with him was that Xiao Ran would receive Alejandro Cona's full support, at least as long as Xiao Ran was useful to him. However, Xiao Ran could also use Alejandro Cona to develop a deeper cooperation with Livonz.
Wang Liumei's situation was similar to Alejandro's, but the power behind her was much greater than Alejandro's. She could even influence the decisions of the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Federation. She was young, so Xiao Ran was confident that he could control her and even guide her in the direction he wanted. He could also contact the Celestials and join their missions.
However, the Halaway Family was a typical financial group. Needless to say, the financial power of a multinational financial group was not to be underestimated. They had a certain amount of influence in both AEU and the United Nations, but they had nothing to do with the Celestials. They were not as ambitious as Wang Liumei and Alejandro. Xiao Ran felt that they were the best choice. With their financial power alone, they could build their own MS manufacturing factory. As long as Xiao Ran was strong enough and had some money, he could be on equal footing with them. (To be continued.)
