Chapter 71: Golden Wolf
It took Ming Chong a while to come back to his senses after this simulation.
It's not just because he successfully gave the golden finger to his sister this time, there are other reasons, such as Ming Chong has some indescribable feelings in his heart.
He lay on Murtada's shoulder, looking quiet and as if he was asleep. But he was just thinking. From this perspective, the reason for his time travel was probably impossible to trace.
Time forms a Möbius strip, and every beginning is an end.
No matter who travels through time first between Ming Chong and An Su, they will eventually try to pull the other person over, or try to return to their original world.
Then, the simulator wisely popped up the panel.
"Gained the traits [Greed] and [Destruction]."
Well... there is no [Abundance], [Breeding] and [Hunting].
Ming Chong had no idea how he got the characteristics, he only knew that they corresponded to his destiny. According to his knowledge, he had previously obtained [Preservation], [Memory], [Nothingness], [Joy], [Creation], and [Mystery]. Before entering the universe, he also obtained [Exploration] and another one whose name he didn't know.
Maybe he has already obtained something else, for example, his passive [Life] and [Abundance] feel a bit similar, but he doesn't know all the Star Gods.
Does he want to collect them all?
Ming Chong couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking.
Finally, something lit up on the simulator, but he wasn't in a rush to look at it. The amount of information he received in such a short period of time was a bit overwhelming.
Ming Chong wanted to give himself some time to think.
…
For a long time, Ming Chong had to face the endless yellow sand in the Civil Engineering Adventure Team. Um, what is the Civil Engineering Adventure Team?
This was when he was almost bored to death, so he gave them a team name.
"Earth" refers to Mingchong from Liyue, Senor and Gabriel from the desert, and half of Jade;
"Mu" refers to Nashida, Tilzad, Murtada and the other half, Jade, who are from the rainforest.
"Hey, why are you splitting me in half?!" Jade immediately raised an objection.
Ming Chong: "Just tell me if this is the case?"
Then Murtada and Tirzad turned their gaze to Seno, who had desert features but grew up in the rainforest.
"That's a very clever way of naming." Seno nodded, "But I suggest you buy Jade some popcorn oranges to apologize when you have time."
"Bubble Orange?" Jade blinked.
Ming Chong pursed his lips tightly, but in the end he still laughed while holding his stomach. "Hahahaha! Seno, Seno, you are simply the ancient god in charge of bad jokes, hahahahaha!"
"Hey, what are you laughing at!" Jade couldn't stand it any longer. "Tell me quickly, why is it Bubble Orange?!"
Murtada hesitated, "Because the bubble oranges also have petals?"
Received a look of appreciation from Seno.
Even through the red ribbon, Murtada could feel Jade's murderous gaze.
"Hahahaha hey hey——! Let go, Yue~ I'm going to be strangled to death cough cough cough..."
Of course, there was another reason why Ming Chong laughed like this, because there were quite a few fruits with slices, but he chose to buy bubble oranges.
——Just stand here and don’t move. I’ll go buy some oranges.
Is it difficult for him?
The name of the Civil Engineering Adventure Team was freshly announced, and before the others could object, they were distracted by Seno's Bubble Orange joke.
Ming Chong: He is indeed my best friend (thumbs up)!
Although the team name sounds like it is engaged in some construction project, it is quite appropriate in the current situation. The difference between mixing plaster and eating sand is just a project.
In short, it must be said that after such a long time of wandering in the universe, Ming Chong's mental threshold for boredom and haste has increased significantly. However, the simulated journey was a non-human perspective, and Ming Chong's current time perception in reality was only close to that of most people.
At least he wouldn't start harassing Murtada just after he left.
Starting from the Oasis of Fertility, their original destination was to sacrifice themselves in the pit, but they found traces of Thutmose. But Samel should have returned to Thutmose to plant the oasis, so it was really strange that he appeared here.
After Gabriel went over to talk to him, they learned that Sameer had been called to the vicinity of the House of Vitality. The Thutmose members did not know what excuse the person had used to call Sameer away.
All they knew was that he looked very young, with an extraordinary bearing, and was obviously well-educated. The people of Thutmose still remembered the scholar Youfei from more than ten years ago, whose temperament was something the desert people did not have.
Desert people... besides the great disciplinary officer, Senor, and the once-in-a-century genius scholar, Setare, there are actually scholars?
This is the main reason why they feel strange and remember it clearly.
"What? We still have to go rescue him?" Tirzad lost control of his voice for a moment, his whole body filled with rejection. "Me, go with us to rescue him? Are you kidding? Besides, there was no mention of him being in any danger!"
"No, I understand him." Gabriel shook his head. "Once he sets his mind to something, he'll do it. Since he said he wants to atone for his sins in the desert, nothing will easily move him."
What he didn't finish saying was that the person in charge here had probably already made up their mind. Although anyone in this team could fight with him, it was indeed because of him that these people were brought together.
Ming Chong rested his chin on his hand and looked at it for a long time. "What are we waiting for? Princess Sameer is already in place. What's there to hesitate about?"
"Aren't you curious about what knowledge the desert scholars have mastered? Is it about the Red King? Or the Flower Goddess? Or the descendants of the priests we met before?" He embraced Tilzad and Murtada who were obviously beginning to waver.
"Don't you think Jade has a good chance of becoming a member of the Desert Scholars?" He held down Jade who was trying to resist with one hand and said to Gabriel who was lost in thought.
Ming Chong ignored Nashida and Seno, who seemed to know something and were hesitant to speak. The wild power in his body could hardly be suppressed.
Hey hey hey, there is a ~secret~
Isn’t this more interesting?
"In that case, let's go!"
"Assemble! Civil Engineering Adventure Team!!!"
Jade held her forehead, unwilling to admit that she knew this person.
Things went smoothly and we arrived at the location provided by Thutmose. Although the entrance was difficult to see with the naked eye, the Grass God and Ming Chong were there.
"Open the door! Disciplinary officer!" Ming Chongle knocked on the door loudly. He finally said this line, and he recited it for a long time.
"I didn't expect... they were actually here." Seno sighed, "I've passed by here before, but I never noticed."
After a while, someone appeared who fit the description of Thutmose's tribe.
"...I never thought we'd meet under these circumstances." The young man glanced at the adventure team before finally landing on Seno. "You are the Grand Disciplinary Officer Seno, right?"
“…”
Sino's face was calm and his expression was much more serious, as if he had returned to his cold and ruthless state at work.
The scene fell into almost silence, almost.
Ming Chong stretched out his hand between the young man and Senuo and waved it, "Hey, it's me who's speaking, right?"
Then he turned to Murtada and said, "He just skipped over me and spoke to someone else. How rude, isn't it, Murtada?"
"...Since you know that, why don't you just call other people by their names first!" Murtada couldn't help but started to complain.
Sai Nuo sighed, patted the back of Ming Chong's hand, and stood in front of him, "You are right, Grand Disciplinary Officer Sai Nuo, it's me."
"You don't seem surprised that I recognized you."
"This isn't the first time this has happened in the desert." Seno tried to ignore the person poking him in the back.
Ming Chong kept muttering: skip, skip, skip...
"It seems that your companions can't wait any longer. I hope you won't get too excited. The person you are looking for is fine... Anyway, follow me." The young desert scholar glanced at Nashida secretly and stepped back silently.
Senuo finally relaxed a little. He reached back and grasped Ming Chong's wrist. He whispered to the people behind him, "Although I know you're different from the others, something's not right right now...and the one who's wrong is me. I'm only telling you this, Chong."
"...Oh, I see." Ming Chong blinked, pretending to be obedient for a moment. Then his gaze slowly shifted to Buyer, who appeared quietly and thoughtfully at the side, as if no one around saw her.
A group of people entered an unknown secret place.
While nothing happened, Ming Chong started to ask Buyer for information. The information he saw was fragmented and he couldn't make out a complete picture.
Things like the Temple of Silence and Hermanubis had such a strong sense of déjà vu, like reading Egyptian mythology. Whenever Ming Chong felt that this world was real, he would have a similar feeling.
Puff, puff!
When Buyer turned around, she saw Ming Chong pretending to do nothing, but his whole face was signaling her to come over, which made her laugh.
"It seems that my warrior has encountered some trouble. Let me guess..." Buyer pretended to ponder for a moment. During this short period of time, Ming Chong's eyes were almost rolled up to the sky.
"Okay, you want to ask about this kid named Seno and the Temple of Silence. His feeling is right, there is indeed something going on here." Buyer looked a little disappointed.
As we walked in, Boyer's voice, like a tour guide, began to introduce the building.
"In the beginning, it was Amon... also known as the Red King, whose divine name was Akhmara. He rejected the throne bestowed by Sky Island, hoping to find a way out for mankind. After Nabu... alas, after the death of the Flower Goddess, Amon accepted most of her subjects." The former God of Wisdom made two consecutive slips of the tongue, and it can be seen that she still has a lot of feelings for those two gods.
Of course, in Ming Chong's eyes, they are still the troublemakers who are being chased by Buyer to clean up their messes.
"I guess you have a deep impression of Lilupal, right?" Buyer smiled slightly after noticing Ming Chong's pout. "This is what happened after that..."
"The Mother of the Town Spirits was split into seven, and a city of seven towers was built in the desert. Seven wise men ruled over it, dividing the people and establishing them as kings... Later, Amon, influenced by forbidden knowledge and the slander of the three kings, wanted to build an ideal city-state [Aru]."
Here, Boyer paused for a moment before continuing:
"After his death, the royal descendants of Gur unified the desert. Hermanubis, the priest of Amun, came to Tuledura in the City of Seven Towers and built the first Temple of Silence..."
She looked ahead, her gaze not fixed on the Temple of Silence, but on the past not long ago.
Then Bouyer smiled slyly:
"But what happened later, even I found the record from the World Tree! Please don't blame me for teasing you."
Ming Chong listened quietly. That was true. After all, Buyer was already dead at that time.
