After Li Xiang hung up the communication device, he let out a long sigh. Although he hadn't known Wang Chongyue for a long time, he had met her when he was escorting Dong Ling and Lan's family. It was rare for him to have a friend that he liked, but she ended up on this path. It could only be said that fate made fools of people.
Wang Bo only sent a "thank you" and then there was no more news. He guessed that the Wang family was also in a mess. Wang Haisheng was one of the core members of the Wang Family of Jingbei who had been sent out to gain experience. He himself was a Level-3 Magician and had a promising future. Wang Chongyue was his biological daughter. If she really died in this cannon fodder operation, the Wang Family of Jingbei would definitely vent their anger.
He could only pray that Wang Chongyue could turn the danger into safety and wait for the rescue of the player team, although the possibility of this was very low.
Li Xiang walked out of the room, and Number One handed him Professor Maria's letter. The content of the letter was very simple. She congratulated him for getting the ticket to travel through the galaxy and agreed to meet him at the Red Pavilion building in City 0123 after he returned from the galaxy. She would personally give him the blueprint of the winged chariot.
After getting her reply, the last stone in Li Xiang's heart was finally lifted. The materialization of his brain's magic circuits would definitely be completed before the final trial. In addition to the equipment he had purchased and the magic he had learned, his strength had once again increased by leaps and bounds compared to the final exam. If he couldn't be chosen by the Chronometer Tower Alliance in the final trial with the strength of a magic apprentice, then he would have nothing to say.
The next morning, Li Xiang woke up from a nightmare. He dreamed that Wang Chongyue was caught by the tarot card people and was living a life worse than death. The resentment in his heart accumulated again, but there was nothing he could do.
Number One looked at him a little fearfully. Ever since she met him, her personality had become weaker and weaker. She didn't know if it was because she was naturally restrained by him.
Li Xiang felt a headache coming on. This kind of emotionless relationship was very common in this world. Even the players lived a precarious life. The higher the level, the lower the marriage rate. However, he did not plan to live such a life for the time being. But looking at Number One, it seemed like she had made up her mind.
"I — I know that you will leave after this. A woman like me can only be an insignificant scenery on your path ahead. Maybe there will be No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 … But — but I hope that I can give you temporary happiness as a reward for the ticket to travel in the sea of stars. Don't worry! I won't tell anyone anything. I'll leave after my trip to the sea of stars! "
Number One's feelings were complicated, and Li Xiang's feelings were even more complicated.
She ran out, not daring to listen to his reply.
Half an hour later, the two of them ate breakfast as usual. Number One returned to her previous state. While eating, they talked about the trip to the sea of stars. Li Xiang finally understood why she was willing to repay him.
The wonders of the sea of stars only appeared in deep space. There were very few airships that could set foot in that area. Once one entered the illusionary realm while watching the sea of stars, the average person would receive some kind of improvement, cultivation, or a certain ability. In short, there would be a great change when they returned. If private guides like Number One could obtain the approval of the contestants, they could accompany them for free once.
Therefore, the guides working in the Sky Arena spent their entire lives looking for contestants who had the opportunity to enter the sea of stars. They would then use all kinds of methods to please them and obtain this opportunity.
In the past, the worst of the successful guides had been promoted to a guide manager in the Sky Arena. They had left the bottom and were considered nobles in the eyes of the commoners.
Number One was a slave. She didn't ask for any other changes. She just wanted to leave her slave status and be able to pursue the life she wanted.
And this was definitely not a problem.
To Li Xiang, it was only a thought — whether or not he would take her along. But to her, this was a chance to change her fate. She was willing to do her best to satisfy him even if he asked for something excessive.
Although Li Xiang wasn't such a person, most private guides had to pay a great price to move the contestants.
She was very grateful from the bottom of her heart.
"Let's go." Li Xiang stood up with a smile. Very soon, he tossed these thoughts away. His goal was clear. Number One was indeed just a fleeting memory, but he also considered her a friend.
He was willing to help her if it wasn't too troublesome.
Number One changed into her most beautiful dress and left the resting area with his hand in hers.
The two headed to the departure hall. The Aokiji 2-7 airship was docked on the tarmac outside the 50th floor. Its incomparably large body stretched as far as the eye could see. This kind of super airship was even larger than the Colossus. It was completely capable of entering the deep space zone.
Those who could come to this departure hall were all contestants who had successfully passed the 50th floor's guardian test. Most of them had changed into beautiful and handsome clothes, and each of them had a male or female companion with them. They looked like a group of successful people.
There were about a hundred contestants in this group. The oldest looked to be in their forties or fifties, while the youngest, like Li Xiang, was less than twenty years old. They were all people who had obtained tickets for Space Travel for the first time.
However, the most eye-catching of them all was Li Xiang's group. Li Xiang's name had already spread throughout the arena. He had reached the 50th floor on his first visit to the Sky Arena. Compared to him, the contestants who had spent many years to reach this step paled in comparison.
Many contestants were secretly guessing his identity and background. Rumors were flying everywhere, but no one knew that he was actually just a kid from a commoner background.
Number One felt proud of Li Xiang from the bottom of her heart as she sensed the gazes from all around her. In the mechanical circle, there was no seniority. Only strength was respected. This group of people would all have some achievements in the mechanical field in the future and obtain tickets for Space Travel. Once their names were announced, it was likely that many organizations would extend an olive branch to them.
To be able to stand out among such people, Li Xiang deserved to be called a genius.
However, what touched No. 1 even more was that last night, she thought that there would be countless invitations sent to her, but she didn't expect that there would only be a handwritten letter from Professor Maria. This made her even more determined to leave Li Xiang.
A man like this was not someone she could control. Instead of thinking of ways to tie him down, she might as well leave a faint mark in his heart.
The fact that the other organizations avoided him meant that his background was astonishing. Ordinary organizations understood that there was no possibility of roping him in, so they didn't send any invitations.
"Hey, Brother Li Xiang, your partner is very beautiful." Chu Bai's voice came from afar. He was hugging a blonde European beauty. When Number One whispered "Number Ten" to him, he understood that she was also a private guide.
"You too." Li Xiang was not good at this kind of communication between nobles, so he could only pretend to be cold.
Number One let go of his arm and pulled away the reluctant Number Ten, leaving the two of them alone.
"Your partner is much smarter than me. That woman racked her brains to please me for this ticket, and now she's trying to break into my life. What a joke." Chu Bai smiled faintly, sweeping away the ruffian aura he had in the arena. The temperament of a nobleman was fully revealed.
"Then why did you still bring her here?" Li Xiang was puzzled.
"Haha, aren't you asking the obvious? It's just a matter of convenience. As a member of a big family, there's no need for us to be so serious with such a small character. "Chu Bai was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he was surprised that Li Xiang did not understand the ways of the aristocratic family.
He had thought that Li Xiang was a descendant of a super family. However, judging by Li Xiang's behavior and personality, he was different from the noblemen.
That aura could not be concealed, unless he rarely hung out in that kind of circle.
"As a matter of fact, I don't think it's necessary to look down on anyone. A lion will do its best to catch a rabbit. In my eyes, there are only friends, enemies, and passers-by. Men and women are the same." Li Xiang smiled. Men from the Subcontinent District had always been infatuated with European women. He wondered if it was because of the Blue Planet. Nowadays, under the leadership of Dong Ling's family, the European continent had become more luxurious and beautiful. It was a perfect example of a petty bourgeoisie.
In many ways, European beauties were indeed very attractive.
Chu Bai laughed heartily. Li Xiang's commoner words had surprised him greatly. However, he had already positioned Li Xiang well. Instead, he felt that Li Xiang was someone who did not like to play by the rules. Thus, he had a greater desire to befriend him.
The two of them talked for a while. Then, Bai Mumu, who was wearing a princess dress, came over.
She was holding the hand of a Goth loli, who was completely different from her. She walked in a dark and cold way. She had a loli face, but she insisted on acting like a queen. Li Xiang couldn't help but smile.
"This is my partner, Bai Wuxin!" Bai Mumu introduced the loli next to her without her usual shyness. She was very outgoing and bold, but without Bai Wuxin, she was back to being a gentle and cute loli.
After talking for a while, Li Xiang learned that Bai Mumu was also from the sixteenth branch. However, unlike Bai Yunfei, her parents were members of the branch family and were very powerful. She looked very young, but in fact, her body hadn't grown up yet. She was already sixteen years old.
He didn't know if he was fated to be with the sixteenth branch family. Why did most of the Bai family he knew come from this place?
Just as they were talking, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded in the departure hall.
"Mumu, you're here. I've been looking for you." Bai Jiaqi, who was travel-worn and had a beautiful woman in each hand, rushed over. Bai Mumu glared at him in disgust.
Bai Jiaqi, who was originally excited, slammed on the brakes as soon as he saw Li Xiang. His face changed. He was about to run away, but Li Xiang pressed on his shoulder.
"Brother Bai Jiaqi, why are you in such a hurry? I thought you were busy and didn't have time to reply to my messages. "
