After being teased by Lin Lang, Yun Xiaoxiao fled back to An Xueyi and no longer dared to say anything sarcastic or praising insinuatingly, implying that Lin Lang was surrounded by men and was not worthy of the perfect president in her mind.

Aren't the female characters in anime like this? Aren't they always thinking about how to snatch the male protagonist away from the female protagonist?

Yun Xiaoxiao vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the education she received since childhood and the animation settings that were ingrained in her mind made it impossible for her to sort out her thoughts. She could only be wary of Lin Lang, fearing that she would really pounce on her and give her a passionate kiss. At the same time, she was afraid that Lin Lang was just numbing herself and only wanted to lower her defenses, but in fact he wanted to take the president for himself when she was unprepared.

How could any woman not like such an outstanding man as the president?

Yun Xiaoxiao looked at An Xueyi with admiration and moved closer to him.

Her every move did not escape Lin Lang's eyes. Her familiar behavior was exactly the same as those of the noble ladies of Parnaki. It was extremely troublesome, yet extremely sad.

Yun Xiaoxiao calls herself the "heroine" not purely out of fantasy, she does have the qualifications to be the "heroine": she wears light-colored casual clothes and light makeup on her face, which makes her already outstanding facial features look pure and beautiful, like a walking little white flower.

Lin Lang had read the information of this group of people before coming here. The "Traveler Union" has thousands of members in Province S alone, and it is said that the total number of members is nearly 10,000. This is a very terrifying number even in the real Parnaki. For many nobles who own territories, their private soldiers are only about 10,000, and the number of magicians or knights who can use magic is less than one-tenth of the total number.

Even if you can practice magic by implanting a "magic circuit", the "magic circuit" is not something you can just get by chance. If you don't have enough connections, you can only exchange it with money. If you want to practice magic, you need to go to a corresponding school to study. Various magic props, training supplies... are not something that an ordinary family can afford.

Compared to magic, more people would choose to let their children become soldiers. Through step-by-step promotion, they have the possibility of becoming knights. Once they become knights, they will definitely be awarded the "magic circuit" by the nobles as a reward.

Therefore, as long as An Xueyi has the intention to "rebel", with the power in his hands, he might be able to conquer a piece of noble territory in Parnaki and establish a country of his own for the "time travelers".

Yun Xiaoxiao, who became the vice president of a mercenary union as a woman, was very capable. You have to know that in Parnaki, women who work as priests either return to their families and become devout believers, or completely give up their freedom and stay in the church as nuns. A female priest like Yun Xiaoxiao who joins the mercenary group and follows the members to carry out missions is no exaggeration to say that she is a legend in the Parnaki they traveled through.

You've worked so hard to get to this point, why don't you cherish your talents and instead keep thinking about men?

What's more, the man she loves obviously has no interest in her. Is it really interesting to treat all women as imaginary enemies when she is the one who pays for her unilaterally?

Lin Lang felt regretful in his heart, and his eyes quietly fell on An Xueyi who was standing beside him - this was the legendary president who founded the "Time Travelers' Union" and organized the "time travelers" after returning to Earth, and brought them into the official ranks. All of them were promoted to civil servants. He was also the leader of the "Time Travelers' Group" that Lin Lang and the other two joined.

An Xueyi lived in Parnaki for about five years. He went from a novice who knew nothing about the other world to the president of a large guild that accommodated nearly 10,000 people. He had a large and loyal following. He was also able to realize the connection between words and magic when he was in Parnaki. He bypassed the "translation system" that the traversers brought with him, learned the local language, summarized the language system, and studied the laws between it and magic...

It is no exaggeration to say that his life is like the protagonist of a male-oriented novel. Even after enjoying the treatment of a protagonist, he did not fall into self-aggrandizement when he returned to Earth. He handed over all the information to the authorities without hesitation, and used the time travelers to continue to collect information about Parnaki and magic. He also gradually became the leader of the official organization from an "unknown" ordinary person.

Regardless of An Xueyi's talent for cultivation, just the things he has accomplished are enough to make Lin Lang look at him with a high regard.

It can be said that An Xueyi is an extremely calm and clear-headed person. He knows his position very well, has no unrealistic delusions, and never overestimates his own strength.

In addition, he seemed to know how to control people. He, Lin Yuan, and Su Mu were just ordinary travelers who had not even entered the union, but as the union president and leader, he still chose to humble himself and personally greet the three of them. He knew very well how to get along with the people around him. When facing the three of them, he was a leader who did things in an orderly manner without putting on airs. When facing the jealous Yun Xiaoxiao, he became a caring and gentle warm-hearted president.

But when he had a conflict with Yun Xiaoxiao just now, An Xueyi saw everything but did not speak out to stop it. He hid behind Yun Xiaoxiao and observed the actions of the three of them, judging their work style, personality and ability.

Similarly, he was very aware of Yun Xiaoxiao's feelings for him, and he used them without any guilt, using Yun Xiaoxiao to achieve his own goals by giving her the feelings she desired.

Tsk, he's a smart guy, worthy of being a leader.

Lin Lang didn't really dislike such men. After all, they came here to work, not to fall in love. Emotional issues were never part of Lin Lang's evaluation of a person. Compared to a loyal but useless waste, a smart person would at least cooperate with their work and not cause them trouble.

However, why was this person, who is more suitable for commanding in the rear than at the front, transferred to the ruins? Aren't they afraid of losing their talents here?

Lin Lang became more and more curious about the ruins they were about to visit - what kind of magical ruins could it be that would make the authorities gather so many precious "time travelers" together.

...

After picking up the people, An Xueyi did not take the three of them directly to the ruins, but went to the village next to the ruins first.

"You will live in the same yard with us for the next two days." An Xueyi said, "We have prepared the room for you in advance."

As he spoke, he led the three people to the yard: "Don't worry, the village is full of our people now, so you don't have to worry about being seen by the villagers even if you use magic."

An Xueyi explained to the three people that after the ruins were discovered, the officials were worried that the information about the other world would be leaked and that the villagers would mistakenly enter the ruins and get hurt. So they immediately notified the local government and temporarily rented all the houses in the village under the pretext of "archaeological research." They also temporarily accommodated a total of 50 households in hotels in the city and even thoughtfully prepared free meals a day for them.

As they were not sure how long it would take to investigate the ruins, they only rented it for a month. They thought they could complete the exploration of the ruins in a month, but they didn't expect that a week had passed and they had only just opened the door to the ruins. It would take them forever to explore the entire ruins.

It is not a big deal to keep letting the villagers live in the hotel under the pretext of archaeology. The cost of renting a house is actually the most insignificant. The villagers, who are mostly middle-aged and elderly, are naturally happy to stay in the hotel for a month and get a good rent. But they are used to rural life. If they stay in the hotel for a long time and cannot go home, not to mention whether these people will make trouble, the villagers from nearby villages who come to watch the fun will also be a problem. Therefore, the superiors issued a death order that the secret realm must be completely conquered in a short period of time.

Therefore, all the "travelers" that governments across the country could mobilize rushed to the secret realm in batches. If one batch failed, they would be replaced by the next batch, such as Lin Yuan and his two companions.

After Lin Yuan and the other two returned to their rooms and put away their luggage and went back to the living room on the first floor, the other three members of An Xueyi's team, whom they had seen in the information in advance, finally appeared in their eyes.

"Then let me introduce myself again. I'm An Xueyi, the warlock and leader of the Huaxia mercenary group." An Xueyi did not act like the president of the union. Even though Lin Lang and the other two were just seventeen-year-old kids to them who were already adults, An Xueyi still showed basic respect.

After An Xueyi finished speaking, Yun Xiaoxiao reluctantly said, "Yun Xiaoxiao, the pastor of the Huaxia Mercenary Group... Let me tell you this first, when you arrive at the ruins, don't run around. If you get injured, I won't treat you!"

"Xiaoxiao!" An Xueyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't say such things, we are all companions now."

Yun Xiaoxiao snorted and turned her head away awkwardly, rarely ignoring An Xueyi's words.

An Xueyi had no choice but to apologize to Lin Lang and the others on her behalf: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao just said one thing and meant another. Don't worry, we will definitely protect you once we enter the ruins."

"Thank you, Captain An. However, we have a certain ability to protect ourselves and will not bring any trouble to you." Lin Yuan smiled to ease the atmosphere.

"Haha, kid, you have a good temper, I like it." In An Xueyi's team, the Gundam man with a buzz cut gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up cheerfully: "Liu Wei, the shield warrior of our regiment. You three kids should just hide behind your brother. Don't worry, your brother is here and will never let you three kids get into danger."

The thin and small woman with shoulder-length hair but sharp eyes said coldly: "Zhao Xin, assassin."

"Zhou Yuan." The last one, a handsome young man with a 46-point helmet, smiled and said, "A knight of the Huaxia Mercenary Group."

A standard RPG squad: tanks, damage output, and healing are all available, and the team configuration is very comprehensive. Even if the combat effectiveness of these five people is not very outstanding, this team with almost no shortcomings is enough to deal with most mutants on the earth today.

After An Xueyi's team was introduced, it was the turn of Lin Yuan and his two companions.

"What should we do?" Su Mu asked the team members: "We should use the same method as them?"

"How about using my mercenary group?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Forget it." Lin Lang refused: "What if they ask later: Why haven't we heard of a mercenary group called "Blue"? We will have to spend time explaining it."

So Lin Lang said directly: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Lang, and I was a dancer in the wandering troupe when I was in Parnaki."

"I know you and this guy... Su Mu, right? You two have become quite famous recently." Liu Wei said, "Isn't there a camel-like creature in the Wandering Theater? Oh, right, the Sand Camel Beast!"

Lin Lang nodded with a smile: "Sand camel beasts are the standard equipment of wandering theater troupes."

Just like circuses on Earth, the first impression is always inseparable from words such as horses, clowns, rainbow-striped tents, and fire rings.

The Wandering Troupe is not the name of a specific troupe, but a general term for all troupes that have no fixed place to stay and are constantly touring in Parnaki. Using the Wandering Troupe as a cover, Lin Lang does not have to worry about the "Traveler Guild" not having seen her performance, and she also has a reasonable explanation for the fact that she amazed everyone with her dance after returning to Earth.

"I have been performing with the troupe everywhere, but I never thought that you, the president, would have established such an amazing guild." Lin Lang showed a regretful expression: "If I had joined the guild earlier, I wouldn't have to wander around with the troupe."

As soon as Lin Lang flattered An Xueyi, Yun Xiaoxiao beside him began to get nervous, as if Lin Lang, the fox disguised as a human, had finally revealed his big tail and was caught by her. But she never thought whether the perfect president in her mind was the kind of playboy who would desperately cling to a beautiful woman as soon as he was teased by her.

After Lin Lang finished introducing herself, Su Mu and Lin Yuan followed her words and said, "Hello, seniors. I am Su Mu. I was a bard with no talent when I was in Parnagi."

"You are not some incompetent bard." Zhou Yuan praised: "I have heard the songs you sing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are heavenly music."

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Zhou Yuan." Su Mu smiled shyly, as if he was a low-key and well-behaved boy.

Compared to the two well-known artists, Lin Yuan's self-introduction did not attract much attention: "I am Lin Yuan. I am not as capable as them. I only learned a few moves from a knight of a mercenary group. I can barely be considered a knight."

An Xueyi glanced at him and smiled, "I heard that you can use magic and know a little bit of the common language of Parnagi. This doesn't seem like a person without any ability. You should not underestimate yourself."

It is not uncommon for "travelers" to know magic nowadays. It is better to say that "travelers" who can come to the ruins have mastered a certain magic foundation. Therefore, facing the self-introductions of the three people, Yun Xiaoxiao did not take them too seriously. On the contrary, because Lin Lang and An Xueyi's communication was very uncomfortable, she could not help but take the initiative to criticize Lin Lang's words: "Our "Travelers' Union" is well-known in Parnaki. How could you not have heard of the name of our union when you traveled to various countries?"

Lin Lang said calmly: "When we were in the troupe, we spent most of our time running around to make a living, either traveling or practicing dancing, so I didn't know about the ups and downs of Parnaki."

"Since you have been running around everywhere, how did you get to know them?" Yun Xiaoxiao seemed to be certain that Lin Lang was hiding a secret, and asked aggressively.

Lin Lang smiled and said, "Even if Senior Yun hasn't read our information, you should have heard that Su Mu and I are classmates, right?"

Yun Xiaoxiao choked.

"Xiaoxiao!" An Xueyi was somewhat dissatisfied, frowned and scolded in a low voice, but Yun Xiaoxiao obviously did not intend to give up, still holding back her anger and continued to ask: "You haven't heard of the 'Traveler's Union', but haven't you read the 'Traveler's Weekly'? I heard that you Liulang are trying your best to be published in the weekly. Besides, haven't you heard of the annual mercenary group competition in Parnaki? Our 'Huaxia' mercenary group represented the 'Traveler's Union' and won the best newcomer of the year. We are famous all over the world. The 'Traveler's Weekly' has even used the conference as the theme for many issues, and you told me that you don't know our 'Traveler's Union'?"

Lin Lang wondered what all this was. Just how many tricks had these “time travelers” come up with in their dreams?

With such a straightforward naming method, would the dream not detect the bug and correct it? Or were the Parnaki people in the dream all fools? Even with such a straightforward reminder, they couldn't tell who these people were - even if they planned to name it in their native dialect, there was a real-time translation program in the dream.

What kind of ridiculous competition is this mercenary competition? When did Parnaki start a competition to promote family traditions? It's impossible that the champion is a young man holding a black iron tooth and shouting "Don't bully the poor young man"?

"Lin Yuan, you have been in a mercenary group before, when did Parnaki have this thing?" Lin Lang asked in the channel.

Lin Yuan was also confused: "I don't know either."

Su Mu said, "I have heard of it."

Lin Yuan/Lin Lang: "?"

Su Mu: "Si Jishi happened to complain to me about this before, saying that the Mercenary Union held a "Mercenary Group Competition" that was a bit family-style. The participants were basically small groups of low level, and the winners could get rare equipment, magic tools, etc. For small groups, rare equipment is already very precious, so there are many participating teams, and they are very active. At that time, he was curious about what the rewards of this competition would be, so he sneaked into a small group to help win the championship. When he got the things, he found out that they were basically the equipment and magic tools that had been gathering dust in the Mercenary Union warehouse for many years and were completely difficult to sell. Some of them were damaged, and the repair cost was more expensive than the equipment itself. I guess the Mercenary Union thought that the things couldn't be sold, and wanted to clean up the warehouse, so they simply used it to motivate the enthusiasm of the small groups. "

Lin Yuan: "...How come I didn't know there was such a thing in the Mercenary Guild?"

Su Mu: "Don't you think about Zhou Xun's level and your mercenary group's level? There's no need for this kind of small activity to be heard by you."

Lin Lang asked curiously: "Why is Yun Xiaoxiao so proud? As if it is a great honor."

"Aren't we still in the Novice Village?" Su Mu said very understandingly: "The overall combat power of the game dungeon will continue to increase with the combat power of the players. For them who are level 20, this kind of activity is indeed worth a full-scale carnival."

Although he was complaining in his heart, Lin Lang still had to give them face on the surface. So Lin Lang said with a tone of amazement and pity: "I am ignorant. It's a pity. Because of the time travel, I have always been afraid that I will die in another world one day, so I have been thinking about working hard to make money so that I can leave the troupe and live a more comfortable life in the future."

At this point, Lin Lang's smile had a hint of sadness, tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked pitiful.

"Unfortunately, I still couldn't escape the fate of death. I traveled all over the country with the troupe for so long, but I didn't die of poverty, but died in the attack of sand bandits. Even my sisters in the troupe..."

She seemed to have been touched upon by something sad. She pursed her lips and lowered her head. Her eyes were red, and she felt aggrieved and sad.

Lin Yuan and Su Mu sighed at the same time, and walked forward as if in coordination, either gently patting Lin Lang's back or stroking her hair, comforting her while saying, "It's not your fault. We are not like President An and the others who can have a prominent life. It's not easy to try our best to survive."

"Yes. Parnaqui is so big and full of dangers. Even if we have heard of the name of the union, ordinary people like us with bare hands do not have the courage to cross the land alone and meet fellow travelers, even if we are yearning to do so."

The three people spoke in such a pitiful way that their emotions were so deep that even before Lin Lang began to truly feel sad, the "sentimental" bard could no longer hold back his tears.

"Hey, why are you crying so fast?" Lin Yuan complained.

Su Mu winked at Lin Yuan proudly: "This is my unique skill. I can control the water element in my body to make tears fall in a second. I can make any crying scene you want."

Lin Lang said: "The acting is devoid of any emotional ups and downs, bad review."

No matter how the three of them bickered in their own little channels, Yun Xiaoxiao and several other "time travelers" were already dumbfounded.

She thought that Lin Lang was angry and embarrassed, and also thought that Lin Lang used tears to confuse An Xueyi - but she never thought that the person crying would be Su Mu!

Why are you crying, you grown man?

But Su Mu couldn't hear her inner silence, and instead cried more and more sadly. The tears seemed like pearls that had broken off the string, each one large and round, falling down with a crackle, and he wiped them away stubbornly, tilting his head at a 45-degree angle to look at the sky, as if he didn't want them to see the fragility in his eyes, and even less willing to let the tears fall. But the overdeveloped tear glands still let the tears overflow from the corners of his eyes, rolling down Su Mu's delicate jawline, looking both sad and with a heart-touching messy beauty.

An Xueyi stared with his eyes wide open and swallowed hard subconsciously.

Lin Yuan noticed this scene out of the corner of his eye and quickly shouted in the channel: "The drama is over! Why do I feel that the president is almost falling in love with you!"

Su Mu, who was passionately showing her "36 ways to perform crying scenes" because Lin Lang complained that her acting skills were lacking in emotion, said: "......"

What the hell! Is this man a bisexual?

There was silence in the air for a moment, and An Xueyi finally came to his senses. He coughed awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "Well, I almost forgot to tell you that Major Zhang is out on a mission recently. I will be your person in charge and contact the higher-ups."

The three of them quickly stopped their performance and nodded obediently.

"Hey, do you think this An Xueyi was sent by Major Zhang to monitor us?" Su Mu asked.

Lin Lang laughed with an ambiguous tone: "So what if he is monitoring us? Is this the most important thing right now? Look at this guild president, he never takes his eyes off Su Mu~"

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Yes, judging from his current mental state, even if he knows our secret, he will probably cover up for us. Tsk tsk, a handsome man is a disaster!"

Su Mu: "I'm a straight man!"

Lin Lang: "Aren't you a mermaid? Since ancient times, there have been many mermaids in the flower market who are bisexual—"

Su Mu: "Please take a good look at my nickname: Reject Haitang!!!"
