"Returning to Earth and being able to stay for a month is quite a long time."
Su Bai's emotions did not fluctuate much.
For him, it was the same whether he stayed on Earth or in the Land of Redemption.
He even preferred to be in the Land of Redemption.
This is so that they can spend their days with the interstellar Zerg.
"Great! I can finally go back to Earth. I'm a little homesick!"
An Ruoyun's face lit up with joy, and a hint of delight appeared in her eyes.
“At that time, An Ruoyun and I will both be teleported to the Shanghai Military Region. The distance between us will be quite far,” Zhao Ganwu said with a smile.
"Beijing and Shanghai are just a short flight apart. That's it, we'll meet on Earth!" Su Bai laughed loudly.
"Great! Let's have a drink together!" An Ruoyun covered her mouth and laughed. "As your first vassal lord, shouldn't you treat me to a big meal in the capital?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Su Bai laughed and spoke.
Since arriving in the Land of Redemption, Zhao Ganwu and An Ruoyun have been his two closest friends of the same age.
Su Bai also valued this friendship very much.
As for Wang Zhenguo and Guo Jing, they are elders and are somewhat different from their peers.
"Once I reach level 50 or higher, I can travel between Earth and the Land of Redemption anytime, anywhere. I hope I can achieve this wish soon!" An Ruoyun said.
This system announcement mandates that all human lords return to Earth.
However, the passage of time in the Land of Redemption is still normal.
However, the number of monsters will be greatly reduced.
It is generally unlikely that a lord will be on Earth while his territory is destroyed by monsters.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Just to be on the safe side, Su Bai summoned Kerrigan, Abathur, and Dehaka, and quickly said:
"I'm leaving the Land of Redemption for a month!"
"Kerrigan will be in charge of all matters, large and small, within the territory during this period!"
"Be careful. While I'm away, hold your ground and don't go out unnecessarily!"
The three heroes nodded to show they understood.
Even the broken tooth is very anthropomorphic, wagging its tail and nodding its head.
"By the way, make sure to take good care of that young Thunder Beast! I hope it can grow into its complete form when I return!" Su Bai continued to instruct.
"My lord, rest assured! Nothing will go wrong!" Kerrigan nodded emphatically.
"See you in a month!"
Su Bai waved to the three heroes.
Clusters of white light appeared, enveloping Su Bai, Zhao Ganwu, and An Ruoyun.
"Don't forget our promise: let's have a drink together after we return to Earth!"
An Ruoyun raised her voice, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Don't worry! I'll contact you when I get back to the military region!" Su Bai smiled slightly.
The next moment.
A flash of light.
The three disappeared from the spot.
...
...
at the same time.
Earth.
Dragon Kingdom.
The Imperial Capital Military Region.
A series of white lights flashed, and figures appeared out of thin air.
The once deserted military area suddenly became lively.
"Phew! I'm back!"
Looking at the surrounding reinforced concrete buildings, Su Bai felt as if he had been transported to another world.
"Su Bai!" a male voice rang out.
Looking in the direction of the voice, the speaker was none other than Zhao Xiangtian.
"Squad leader, it's been a long time!" Su Bai said with a smile.
Zhao Xiangtian strode forward, his face beaming with excitement. "Su Bai, tell me quickly, how exactly did you manage to take first place on the kill leaderboard during the Infection Crisis and break through the Black Tide?"
Su Bai hadn't had a chance to reply yet.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the lords around them.
"Su Bai? You're Su Bai!"
"My God, the famous Su Bai is actually so young!"
"Boss Su Bai, I want to be your underling."
"The battle on the Cursed Isles was truly breathtaking. Su Bai, how did you manage to bring such powerful Protoss reinforcements!"
"You single-handedly broke through the Black Tide, Su Shen! We're both lords, how are you so strong!"
"And last time, during the infection crisis, you killed hundreds of millions of infected creatures—that's an astronomical number. How did you manage that?"
"I'm bowing down in admiration. Surpassing all the lords and reaching the top of the kill leaderboard, that's awesome."
"With the arrival of this black tide and the rampage of hybrid monsters, if it weren't for Su Shen resolving the crisis, we probably wouldn't be able to return to Earth alive."
Once Su Bai was recognized, his surroundings instantly became crowded.
Not only the new lords, but even the old lords stepped forward, eager to catch a glimpse of this legendary figure.
All the lords wanted to see if this eighteen-year-old had three heads and six arms, and why he was so powerful and repeatedly created miracles!
"Little brother, you're so handsome! I'm starting to get a little smitten!"
"Little brother Su Bai, I am twenty-eight years old this year, I have never been in a relationship, and my territory level is forty-two. Would you like to be my boyfriend?"
"My Lord's Mark is of Epic quality, my awakened innate race is the divine beast Blood Phoenix, Su Bai, be my boyfriend, I won't hold you back!"
"Get out of my way, everyone! Su Bai is mine, and no one is allowed to take him from me!"
"Why should it be yours! Su Bai belongs to all of us, it's fair competition!"
The group of female lords moved forward one after another.
Her fiery enthusiasm made Su Bai feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Can a woman be this terrifying when she goes crazy?
For a moment, Su Bai was surrounded in the center, feeling extremely overwhelmed.
But he was too embarrassed to ignore the enthusiasm of the crowd.
He could only force a smile and greet everyone one by one.
Not far away.
A girl with a good figure and beautiful face pouted when she saw Su Bai surrounded by a group of female lords, her heart filled with jealousy.
This person was none other than Su Bai's childhood friend, Bai Mengyu.
"I've heard that Su Bai has a subordinate lord!"
"It's a girl, with long legs, a slim waist, and fair skin!"
"Could it be that something has already happened between them?"
Bai Mengyu gazed at Su Bai, and couldn't help but think to herself.
As time went by, the atmosphere on the field became increasingly heated.
Su Bai was surrounded by people, inside and out.
Even soldiers from the military region came to watch Su Bai.
It wasn't until Wang Zhenguo's voice rang out that the chaotic situation was brought under control.
"Lords, please maintain order and make way. Elder Guo needs to discuss some matters with Su Bai!"
"Furthermore, given that our country has received the National Fortune Award for several consecutive years, a celebratory banquet has been prepared! You may all take your seats now!"
The crowd dispersed.
Su Bai approached Wang Zhenguo and couldn't help but smile wryly, "Colonel Wang, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been swallowed up by the crowd."
Sometimes, being too famous can really be a problem.
“You’re the hottest celebrity in China right now!” Wang Zhenguo said with a smile. “Let’s go, Old Guo has been waiting for you for a long time.”
A short while later.
Inside a confidential meeting room.
"My child, the battle on the Cursed Islands was fraught with danger. You braved all the hardships and made such a great contribution to the Dragon Kingdom. I will not forget it, the country will not forget it, and the people will never forget it!"
Guo Jing looked at Su Bai with a sigh and patted him on the shoulder.
"Elder Guo, faced with that situation, for my own sake and for the country's sake, I would choose to fight to the death!" Su Bai said without hesitation.
"You're so genuine! I love young people like you!" Guo Jing's eyes gleamed with even greater joy. "With this national fortune reward, the Kunlun Mountain dragon vein has awakened, and the physical condition of all Dragon Kingdom citizens has greatly improved. Dragon Kingdom becoming the world's number one power is already a foregone conclusion."
"The United States, Japan, South Korea, and India have not only seen a decrease in resources and a decline in output, but their citizens' life expectancy has also been reduced by half a year. This is so satisfying!"
Wang Zhenguo was in high spirits, his voice filled with excitement.
"Mr. Guo, I have a concern in my heart, but I don't know if I should say it?" Su Bai raised his head.
“Speak freely!” Guo Jing replied quickly.
“On the Cursed Isles, Narud once said that the power of that so-called God of Darkness could actually extend to Earth. If that’s true, the situation could be quite bad,” Su Bai said in one breath.
Guo Jing frowned. "This is exactly what I'm worried about. If hybrid monsters were to descend upon Earth, all of humanity would face annihilation."
“Narud also said that that damned God of Darkness has been asleep for hundreds of centuries. If that’s true, he certainly wouldn’t wake up easily. If you ask me, that damned God of Darkness is definitely dead.” Wang Zhenguo said casually and without a care in the world.
"But I think we still need to be careful! With Earth's current technology, let alone the hybrids, even the native forces of the Land of Redemption are no match for them." Su Bai still believed that since the Protoss had already appeared, the Land of Redemption was not an isolated entity.
Earth and the Land of Redemption are very likely to develop more connections.
"I will report this matter to my superiors!" Guo Jing said with a serious expression.
"Um!"
Su Bai nodded.
"In the battle of the Cursed Islands, you risked your life and made outstanding contributions. The military region has already issued your reward, and you will see it when you return to the Land of Redemption," Guo Jing said again.
"Actually, this is what I should do." Su Bai scratched his head and grinned.
Of course, I'll accept the reward.
However, it's always good to be humble.
"By the way, in recognition of your bravery in saving many lords of the Russian Bear Kingdom, the Russian military has given you some thanks. You will see them all when you return to the Land of Redemption," Guo Jing said with a smile.
"Did they send me a case of vodka?" Su Bai joked.
...
...
Ten minutes later.
At the victory celebration banquet.
Facing all the lords, Su Bai looked at the script in his hand and began a passionate speech.
"When the people have faith, the nation has strength!"
"Unity and concerted efforts are our greatest weapon in defeating the enemy!"
"..."
The speech ended amidst thunderous applause.
Amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd, Su Bai returned to his seat.
Actually, he doesn't like such noisy occasions.
The speech was not written by him, of course.
But as a Chinese citizen, I have no choice but to participate in such activities.
"Su Bai, you're amazing! Although my Lord's Mark is of legendary quality, I feel the gap between us is widening!"
A clear and pleasant female voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Su Bai turned his head, and the person speaking was Bai Mengyu. "Haha! Long time no see! Don't underestimate yourself. The Blood Elf race is very powerful."
"Compared to your Zerg, they are nothing." Bai Mengyu stuck out her tongue. "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget your childhood friend."
"How could I forget you!" Su Bai said with a smile.
At this moment, Zhao Xiangtian strode over with a glass of wine in his hand. "Old classmate, you have created so many miracles and brought national fortune awards multiple times. Compared to you, I am far behind!"
"You're exaggerating. I was just a little bit lucky."
Su Bai picked up his wine glass and clinked it against Zhao Xiangtian's.
Many lords cast envious glances at Zhao Xiangtian and Bai Mengyu, who were sitting on either side of Su Bai.
They whispered to themselves:
"That boy's name is Zhao Xiangtian, and he is Su Bai's classmate."
"I'm so envious! To be Su Bai's classmate!"
"I've heard that Su Bai values relationships the most. With this connection, Zhao Xiangtian can practically do whatever he wants."
"The beautiful woman next to Su Bai is rumored to be Su Bai's childhood sweetheart."
"I know her name is Bai Mengyu, and she is a lord with exceptional talent, but I never expected that she would have this relationship with Su Bai."
"I heard that Bai Mengyu is Su Bai's lover."
"Really?"
"Of course, last time at the military region, I saw Bai Mengyu dressed sexily and enter Su Bai's room alone!"
"I'm so envious of this girl, to be able to have such a relationship with Boss Su Bai!"
"To be honest, if I were a woman, I would definitely throw myself at Su Bai immediately."
The murmurs of the crowd reached the ears of Zhao Xiangtian and Bai Mengyu.
Zhao Xiangtian's face lit up with joy, his eyes filled with excitement.
It's incredibly prestigious to be known as Su Bai's classmate!
As for Bai Mengyu, a blush rose on her face, which spread all the way to her snow-white neck.
...
...
Three days later.
The capital city.
Ameng Barbecue Restaurant.
"How about it? The location I chose for our get-together, isn't it pretty good?"
Su Bai, dressed in a black tracksuit, looked at the four people behind him.
"It's so down-to-earth! I like it!" Bai Mengyu smiled.
"Barbecue is my favorite!" Zhao Xiangtian said without hesitation.
The other two are Zhao Ganwu and An Ruoyun.
At Su Bai's request, the Imperial Capital Military Region specially dispatched a private plane to bring the two of them over from the Shanghai Military Region.
In fact, lords are not allowed to move across military regions.
However, Su Bai's achievements were so great that the military region made an exception for him.
After several rounds of drinks...
Zhao Ganwu, An Ruoyun, Bai Mengyu, and Zhao Xiangtian are already familiar with each other.
Su Bai looked around at everyone, his voice sincere.
"As lords, we face greater dangers than ordinary people; a single misstep could lead to our demise!"
"The Land of Salvation is fraught with danger. From now on, everyone must be even more careful!"
"You are my friends. I hope that many years from now, we can still get together here, have some barbecue skewers, and drink!"
An Ruoyun blushed slightly and said earnestly, "Su Bai, I am your subordinate lord. No matter what, I will do everything in my power to help you!"
“My blood elf soldiers are skilled in night combat. I can send troops over whenever you need them!” Bai Mengyu said without hesitation, her eyes clear and calm.
"Alright! I accept your kind offer!" Su Bai laughed heartily.
An Ruoyun shifted her position, subtly moving closer to Su Bai. "Returning to the foot of Shang Mountain, drifting like clouds, heartless. Su Bai, do you know? My name is taken from a line of Li Bai's poem."
"It makes my name seem too straightforward." Su Bai stuffed a piece of lamb skewer into his mouth.
"Sister's name is so beautiful." Bai Mengyu said as she picked up a tissue and wiped the grease from Su Bai's mouth.
The two women's eyes met, sparking a unique kind of chemistry.
Zhao Ganwu and Zhao Xiangtian exchanged a glance, their faces showing a look of sudden realization.
Only Su Bai, those involved, are blinded by their own perspective.
Under the influence of alcohol, I didn't notice anything.
