City Lord's Office.
Qin Chuan sat at the tea table, sipping the freshly brewed hot tea while listening to a gray-haired old man reporting to him.
The uncle who reported to him was the general manager of the exchange hall, in charge of the exchange of evolutionary resources in the entire warehouse.
On Earth, he would be a finance minister with real power and a very high status.
"You said that there are strangers from the Land of Annihilation in the dangerous area outside the city?"
Qin Chuan put down the empty teacup in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with some surprise.
The person in charge of the exchange hall, an old man known as Old Man Li, nodded and said:
"Yes, there is a strange person from the Land of Silence in the dangerous area. Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan, Fu Zhou, and Wu Shiya encountered him while they were out of the city for training."
"According to reports, the alien creatures in that Land of Silence were of a very rare level, but they were instantly strangled by the large number of thick scarlet vines controlled by Lin Zichen, leaving them completely powerless to fight back."
"This little fellow who grew up on Earth is so powerful that it's truly unbelievable."
As Old Man Li was talking, he turned the topic to Lin Zichen. He found it hard to believe that this genius could shine so brightly just after arriving at his hometown.
He has lived for nearly a thousand years and has never seen an Earthling as talented as Lin Zichen.
After listening to this, Qin Chuan said, "Well, I understand. I will send a reconnaissance team out of the city to investigate and see what is going on."
Old Man Li: "City Lord, it's nothing, I'll go back to the exchange hall first."
"Let's go back."
Qin Chuan waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
After Old Man Li left.
Qin Chuan fell into deep thought, wondering what the alien from the Land of Silence was doing in the Southern Region.
Could it be... that the Sun and Moon Holy Land and the Land of Silent have joined forces?
It feels unlikely.
There must be some other reason.
Just as Qin Chuan was thinking.
There was a knock on the office door.
It was Lin Zichen knocking on the door outside, with Shen Qinghan along.
"City Lord, I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Zichen's voice came from outside the door.
Qin Chuan's expression was calm: "Just come in."
“Crack—”
There was a heavy sound of a door opening.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan walked in and stood respectfully in front of the tea table.
"What's up?"
Qin Chuan guessed that it was about the Land of Nirvana, but he still asked.
However, Lin Zichen did not mention the matter of the alien in the Land of Silence, but said this:
"City Lord, she and I want to go back to Earth. I just talked to Instructor Lan, and he said he can't make the decision on this matter and needs your consent."
When Lin Zichen said this, he was very confused.
I'm just applying to go back to Earth, why do I have to ask the city lord for his approval?
Is the city lord so idle?
Do you have to take care of all the trivial matters?
While he was thinking about this, Qin Chuan asked, "I remember that you two seemed to have just entered the source not long ago. What are you going back to Earth for?"
Lin Zichen: "My mother is pregnant with her second child. Judging from the time, she should be giving birth now. I want to go back and see my sister."
Hearing that the two were going back to Earth just for this matter, Qin Chuan said expressionlessly: "It's a bit too willful to return to Earth after just over a month in the source area. Let's wait for three months before going back."
"Every transmission through the biological channel consumes a large amount of source power."
"And the source power comes from source crystals, beast cores, or other rare evolutionary resources. They are all earned by our compatriots at the cost of their lives. We can't waste them like this."
"You two must stay here for at least three months before returning to Earth. This is the most basic rule."
“…”
It was the first time that Lin Zichen heard of such a rule, and he was really surprised.
However, he did not dwell on it too much. He just said "I understand" respectfully and quickly took Shen Qinghan away.
Since there is such a rule, we should abide by it and wait for three months before returning to Earth.
Anyway, I have been here for almost two months, and I can go back after staying for another month.
…
In the dormitory.
On the bed.
Shen Qinghan hugged her knees, leaned against the headboard, and said with a bit of loss, "I really want to go back to Earth to see my parents right now, but the City Lord said I have to stay for at least three months before I can go back. That's a long time."
"It's a bit long."
Lin Zichen rubbed Shen Qinghan's body and comforted her: "But we have been in the source for almost two months. We can go back in just over a month. It will be quick."
"That's right." Shen Qinghan nodded, then turned her head to look at Lin Zichen beside her, and said with a hint of lust in her voice: "Lin Zi, I'm so bored, how about doing it?"
"Well, do it."
Lin Zichen said without thinking.
There are no mobile phones or computers in the source area, and there is an extreme lack of entertainment.
In this environment, enhancing the relationship between men and women is basically the best form of entertainment.
"I forgot to bring a condom when I came in, and the box in the storage space is almost empty."
Lin Zichen took a look at the box of ultra-thin xx condoms in the storage space and found that there were only two left, which would not even last today.
Shen Qinghan didn't care about it: "It's okay, just give birth if you get pregnant."
"We're only 19, too young."
"Not small anymore."
"Let's think about having children in a few years."
"All right then."
All my efforts were in vain before.
Thinking about it, Lin Zichen asked: "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"
"I just thought of it."
"Okay, we're both idiots."
For her, this is what evolution is all about.
…
A few days later.
In the dormitory.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan sat on the bed, looking at an instruction manual called "Origin of Power" together.
Ever since he heard Fuzhou say that the source was divided into five areas that day, he has been very concerned about this and specially looked for relevant information to browse.
"Linzi, you turn the pages so fast that it makes me dizzy."
Seeing that Lin Zichen left afterimages when flipping through the book, and basically turned to the next page with just a glance, Shen Qinghan couldn't help but complain.
She thought she was very smart and had an outstanding memory, but compared with Lin Zichen next to her, she was as powerless as a mentally retarded girl with zero IQ.
"Then let me read it first, and you can read it slowly after I finish."
Lin Zichen said casually while flipping through the book quickly.
He possesses [divine wisdom] and can read ten lines at a glance, and he has a photographic memory. However, he cannot take care of Shen Qinghan's reading speed.
I can only be a straight man and finish reading it myself first, and then let Shen Qinghan read it slowly by herself.
About two minutes later.
Lin Zichen finished reading the entire book "The Power of the Origin" and gained a deeper understanding of the Origin.
The source area is divided into five regions: Central Region, Eastern Region, Western Region, Southern Region, and Northern Region.
The Central Region is a huge ruin with a large number of relics, which inherit the oldest civilization of the source area. It is a forbidden area that is opened regularly.
Most of the mythical creatures in the source land were born in the Central Region.
The Eastern Region is a boundless plain with numerous seas and lakes, home to countless mysterious and powerful aquatic creatures.
The Western Regions is an extremely desolate land, lifeless and filled with many underworld creatures with strange life forms.
The Southern Region is a mountainous and forested world with extremely rich evolutionary resources and is home to the most powerful land creatures.
Major forces like the Sun and Moon Holy Land and Qingqiu Ancient Mountain are all located in the Southern Region.
The strongholds established by the Earthlings at the source are all at the source point, because the biological passages connecting the two worlds are all in the southern region.
The Northern Territory is an extremely cold place with very few living creatures and few resources for evolution, so it is not very popular.
In addition to the five major domains, there is also a special land in the source land - the abyss.
There may be an abyss in every corner of the source.
The abyss is a forbidden zone for life. Even legendary creatures would risk their lives if they enter it. It is still full of mystery.
No one knows how the abyss appeared or what caused it.
Apart from knowing that the abyss is dangerous, it can be said that they know almost nothing else.
So... the enemy of the Earth is the Sun and Moon Holy Land?
There are also many seas and lakes in the Eastern Region. Maybe going there can help us solve the secret of the little dirty girl.
Well, I'll go to the Eastern Region if I have the chance...
Lin Zichen thought silently.
…
In a blink of an eye.
More than half a month has passed.
There are less than ten days left until we can return to Earth.
Shen Qinghan looked forward to every day so much that every day felt like a year and time seemed to pass very slowly.
It was just dawn this morning.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan woke up early and sat cross-legged on the bed quietly to stimulate the acupoints.
Most of the other people in the team of extraordinary geniuses went out of the city to gain experience and fight for the resources for evolution.
Although the two can become stronger by impacting the acupoints, they also need certain evolutionary resources to support them.
The reason why I didn't go out of the city for training was because I would be able to go back to Earth to visit my parents soon, and I didn't want to delay my return home because of the training.
Soon, several days passed.
There is only one day left before I complete three months in the city.
Because of this, Shen Qinghan was so excited that she couldn't sleep the whole night and pulled Lin Zichen to make love with her all night long.
She had never been without contact with her parents for such a long time in her life.
After three whole months without any contact, her longing for her parents reached an overwhelming peak.
"It's so boring staying in the dorm. How about being lazy today and skipping the acupuncture points and going for a walk outside to breathe some fresh air?"
Shen Qinghan suggested in a somewhat coquettish voice.
Lin Zichen himself didn't have the heart to stimulate the acupoints. He missed his parents at home and was curious about his sister, so he left the dormitory with Shen Qinghan and went for a walk outside.
The two walked aimlessly in the city, chatting intermittently, and unknowingly walked to the city gate.
"Let's go up to the high wall and take a look."
Lin Zichen suggested.
Possessing the [Eye in the Sky], he wanted to stand on the high wall of the city gate and look into the distance to become more familiar with the terrain outside the city.
Shen Qinghan smiled and said, "Okay, I just happened to want to go up there and get some fresh air."
The two hit it off immediately and quickly climbed up the high wall of the city gate.
Just when the two of them went up.
In the stable area outside the city gate, two figures were running desperately towards the city.
With the help of the [Eye of the Sky], Lin Zichen saw the two figures for the first time.
Very familiar.
They were the former big and small kings of the team - Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao.
At this moment, one of the two people was running wildly, and the other was being carried and running wildly.
The one being carried was Zhao Qingxian.
Lin Zichen looked closely and found that Zhao Qingxian had multiple wounds on his body.
There were wisps of black air on the wound.
The black energy looks familiar.
It was exactly the same black energy that I had seen on the strange man in the Land of Destruction before.
Soon, the guards on the high wall saw Zhang Tao and Zhao Qingxian through special lookout props, and immediately opened the city gate to welcome the two into the city.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhang Tao was so tired that he sat down on the ground and gasped for breath.
Zhao Qingxian, who was carried on his back, had turned pale and fainted, and his physical condition looked very bad.
"What happened?"
A guard captain on duty today immediately stepped forward to check on the two people.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan also jumped down from the high wall to see what had happened to the two men.
"Outside the city, in the dangerous area, there are many strange people from the Land of Desolation..."
Zhang Tao kept gasping for breath and answered in a very disordered voice.
Hearing this, the guard captain's expression suddenly became serious. He immediately sent the two people to the medical department for treatment and reported the matter to his superiors.
Lin Zichen's expression also became solemn.
The appearance of many aliens from the Land of Destruction in the dangerous area is not a good sign.
It is possible that the Earth will have another enemy in the future.
…
Soon, it was afternoon.
News came from the city lord that people with biological levels lower than rare level are not recommended to leave the city in the near future to avoid unnecessary losses.
…
At night, in the dormitory.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan had nothing to do, so they chatted while doing it on the bed.
"I don't know how the young man named Zhao Qingxian is doing now. When he entered the city, his wounds were oozing black liquid. He looked seriously injured."
Shen Qinghan said with a trembling voice.
Lin Zichen replied while moving forward, "I don't think he's seriously injured. Rare creatures have very strong self-healing abilities. As long as he receives prompt treatment from the medical department, he'll probably be able to recover quickly."
"Lin Zi, those strange people from the Land of Annihilation suddenly appeared in a large group in the dangerous area outside the city. What do you think they want to do?"
Shen Qinghan asked with some confusion.
Lin Zichen said nonchalantly, "I don't know. Maybe they're scouting the area and trying to capture City No. 1."
"ah?"
Shen Qinghan's expression changed immediately.
Lin Zichen's guess scared her and made her feel very uneasy.
If those strange people from the Land of Annihilation really come to scout the area, then City No. 1 is bound to face a war, and there will be countless casualties.
Seeing Shen Qinghan's pretty face full of anxiety, Lin Zichen smiled gently: "I was just talking nonsense, don't panic."
…
the next day.
It was just dawn.
After staying in the source for three months, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan left the dormitory with light luggage and returned to Earth through the spacious biological passage.
The biological passage exit of City No. 1 is located at the military district headquarters in Kyoto.
After the two came out, they took a military helicopter for nearly half an hour before arriving at Shanhai University, which they had been longing for.
As soon as they got off the plane, they went straight to the family quarters outside the campus, eager to see their parents whom they hadn't contacted for more than three months.
When the two of them came back this time, they did not contact their parents at home in advance, thinking of giving their parents a surprise whom they had not seen for many days.
"Why don't you go back to your own house to see Uncle Ye and Aunt Meng first?"
In front of the house, Lin Zichen took out the key to open the door. Seeing Shen Qinghan was about to follow him into the house, he couldn't help but look at her and asked this question.
Shen Qinghan said with anticipation: "No rush, my parents have plenty of time to see me. I just want to see my sister Ziying now."
"I want to see it, too."
Lin Zichen smiled, then inserted the key into the door lock, opened the door, and walked in with Shen Qinghan.
Now, he has suppressed his five senses to the level of an ordinary person and has no idea what is happening in the room.
The reason for doing this is to give myself a surprise.
He wanted to open a blind box to see what his sister, whom he had never met, looked like.
"Linzi, I heard the sound of typing on the keyboard in the writing room. Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xin really like writing novels. It's only a little after 8 o'clock in the morning and they've already started typing."
Shen Qinghan said with a smile.
Lin Zichen also laughed and said, "My parents are like this. I asked them to stop writing and enjoy their life of financial freedom, but they just can't sit still."
Shen Qinghan: "Tell me, is your sister sleeping in her room now, or drinking milk in the coding room?"
She also followed Lin Zichen and reduced her five senses to the level of an ordinary person, unable to sense the specific situation in the room through the wall.
Lin Zichen guessed: "He should be sleeping in the room. Babies tend to be sleepy."
Just as he finished speaking, a baby girl wearing a diaper and holding a pacifier in her mouth crawled past them.
It crawled very fast, and darted past in the blink of an eye like a cockroach.
Lin Zichen's eyes widened in shock.
This baby girl looks like she’s only one month old, how come she can crawl so fast?
The body has been sanctified, is this?!
…
