Chapter 28: Twenty-Eight Nights [Two in One]
Wu Yan Returns
"Who? Who else can cut in line in front of me?"
Wu Yan was furious.
Anlock didn't know that he had been noticed by the legendary Star Pirate Flame because of a few words. He was humming a song while studying how to arrange the pipelines for the next stage. After looking at the drawings for a long time, the initial dizziness seemed to be an illusion. Now he just felt that this pipeline network was particularly exquisite, as if it was hiding an unspeakable secret, but unfortunately he couldn't see it.
When I was taking a break, I felt like someone was watching me, but who else could it be here?
An Luoke turned around and smiled brightly at Yun Wanwan: "Miss Yun! Do you have any instructions?!"
Yun Wanwan, who was still communicating with Wu Yan, smiled and said, "Not yet."
Wu Yan also heard Anluo's voice: "Who, who is over there?" How long has it been since he left, and there is a new person around Yun Wanwan?
He sounds young, is he Yun Wanwan's adopted son? Wait, could it be that Shi Kaien, that bastard prince, placed him by Yun Wanwan's side?
Yun Wanwan didn't answer Wu Yan's question. Instead, she smiled and said to An Luoke, "Locke, are you free to pick someone up?"
Anlock: "Huh?"
Pick someone up? Who? Where?
When he asked Wu Yan for the coordinates and handed them to Anluo, Anluo was still confused. Although his main task was to guard Yun Wanwan and listen to her orders, he had also been following the Legion's actions and arrangements in the Y4162 star field. So there was actually someone outside the security network, waiting for him to pick up, and who could also contact Yun Wanwan through a single line. This didn't seem right no matter how he thought about it.
When Anluo saw that the person Yun Wanwan asked him to pick up was Wu Yan, he felt terrible.
When Wu Yan saw Anluo, his face didn't look very good, but when he thought about how he had been able to sit face to face with Shi Kane before, it didn't seem strange that he was facing Shi Kane's little follower now.
"It's you!" Anlock's hand was already on the intelligent computer, as if he was ready to release the mecha to have a good fight with Wu Yan if they had a disagreement.
Wu Yan's face was filled with disgust: "Wanwan actually asked you to pick me up? This is really unfair to Captain Anlock."
In the Dandelion Legion, in addition to the position of captain of the guards, Anlock also holds the actual rank of captain. He is a truly capable person and is completely different from him, a rat in the gutter.
Anluo calmed down. Although he didn't know how Yun Wanwan and Wu Yan knew each other, and he didn't know what conspiracy Wu Yan had, he kept in mind the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as it did not endanger the safety of the empire, he would obey Yun Wanwan's orders.
But at this moment he was a little hesitant. Would allowing Wu Yan's existence and getting close to Yun Wanwan be considered a potential threat to the security of the empire?
At this moment, Anlock looked down and saw the message sent by Yun Wanwan: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about Wu Yan's existence.
This sentence contained too much information, and Anluo was unable to care about it for the moment, but he also understood what Yun Wanwan meant. Wu Yan must be taken back.
"snort!"
Ignoring the baby-faced captain's cold snort, Wu Yan calmly boarded the small starship driven by Anlock and returned to the Evening Star. Speaking of this, Wu Yan thought of the information he had found on the Star Network. The Y4162 star field had been officially transferred to the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Of course, he didn't deliberately check and would not pay attention to this at all, but the existence of the Evening Star did not appear in the records of the Star Network.
Even the original information of Yuanhang Group no longer has any record of it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very deliberate.
Wu Yan was delighted to see Yun Wanwan again. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her, his pretty face showing a look of sorrow and grievance that was completely inconsistent with his temperament. "It's only been a short time since I left, and you already have a new lover. Are you planning to take my place and let him cut in line?"
Yun Wanwan: “…”
To some extent, Wu Yan and An Luoke are both acting masters, but Wu Yan is an obvious actor, and sometimes his enthusiasm is overwhelming, while An Luoke is purely imagining things, and the plot he imagines may be a world away from the actual situation.
Looking at Anluo's expression, you can tell that he has already imagined about 800,000 words in his mind, but the focus is still Wu Yan. When this person comes, the whole air smells different.
Hmm, what's that word? That's right, greasy.
"Wu Yan, don't you think talking like that is greasy?" Yun Wanwan, speaking frankly, looked at Wu Yan, who was smiling provocatively. "Is it true that no one has ever hit you for this?"
Wu Yan: “…” To be honest, someone really did hit him.
Someone did say that his mask was too heartburning and beat him up. At that time, he was not strong enough and was pinned to the ground and beaten severely, but he laughed even more happily for no reason.
The man also said: "Laugh if you want to laugh, don't laugh if you don't want to laugh, and don't laugh so hard in the future, or I will beat you up every time I see you."
It’s a pity that there is no future.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t laugh anymore, but that person can’t beat him now.
Skipping this topic, Yun Wanwan greeted Anluoke: "From now on, the hunting and gathering tasks will be handed over to him. You will be responsible for the construction of the base and pipeline network, as well as the research data..."
"He wants to stay here too?" Anluoke was very unhappy, but he had no choice. Suddenly, he realized another problem: "Where will he live then?"
Wu Yan must not be allowed to pass through the camp. This is a matter of principle.
Wu Yan came over and said with a smile, "Of course I live with Wanwan!"
Anlock:???
Yun Wanwan glared at Wu Yan and said, "You can live anywhere in this vast forest, but if you dare to get too close to this yard, Manman will whip you into outer space."
They all knew who Manman was.
Thinking of himself being whipped away by the devil vine, Wu Yan was filled with joy. Before landing, Wu Yan also noticed the changes in the area, especially the unsightly camp, which looked very imperial in style, and he was itching to tear it down.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll go to the garbage dump for a while. After all..." He glanced at An Luke, "In Captain An's eyes, I should be more compatible with the garbage dump?"
He didn't care about what Wu Yan said, but it made Anluo very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but retort: "I don't think so! The garbage dump is not suitable for human survival. There is no need for you to live there just to entertain me."
"Who said that?" Wu Yan raised an eyebrow. "Who said a garbage dump is unsuitable for human survival? I was born and raised in a garbage dump."
Anluoke: "..." How should he respond to this?
Anlock, who came from an aristocratic family, and Wu Yan, who came from a garbage dump that couldn't even be called a slum, seemed to have naturally opposing positions. Not to mention that one of them was a captain of a legion, and the other was a pirate leader, officers and bandits.
Yun Wanwan covered her forehead with her hands. How did this situation come about?
Of course, Wu Yan didn't want to argue with Anluo. He was seriously considering the possibility of settling in the garbage dump. Growing up in a garbage dump was no joke. When he was a child, his way of making a living was to dig out usable waste from the garbage dump and exchange it for a little bit of living resources.
Rather than living in this dense forest or in Anlock's camp, he would rather live in the garbage dump. Of course, he would be more willing to live in this yard, but unfortunately Yun Wanwan would not agree.
The Devil Ivy wouldn't agree either.
"Hey, has this little guy grown up a bit?" Wu Yan looked at Yingying in Yun Wanwan's arms. The little white dog, originally the size of a palm, seemed to have grown a little bit now, about the size of two palms. It was still so fierce. I believe that if Yun Wanwan hadn't held it down, it would have jumped over and bit him. "Hehe, it's still so fierce."
He was busy talking to Yun Wanwan just now and didn't have time to pay attention to it. The little guy kept showing his teeth in protest, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.
Now Wu Yan was talking to it, and the murmur in its throat became a little louder - it sounded righteous and confident.
"Well, its name is Yingying."
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly without giving any face: "Oh, it's actually called Yingying! This suits its whimpering appearance quite well. Very good, very suitable! Wanwan, you really are good at naming."
Yun Wanwan: Forget it, I don’t want to bother with him.
After Wu Yan settled down, Yun Wanwan directly gave him several books, all of which she had memorized recently. She forwarded them directly through the smart brain, and all the information could be directly recorded in the smart brain, which was quite convenient.
"What's this?"
“Is this considered study material?”
People like Wu Yan have never received a proper education since childhood. The knowledge they learned is just accumulated slowly after they became adults and had the means. Apart from instinct and common sense, they don't have much knowledge.
After all, as long as there is Starnet, anyone who can access it can receive the most basic education.
When Wu Yan was a child, he envied those children who could go to school and receive elite education, but he never thought that he would have such an opportunity to study at his age.
Wu Yan: What should I do if I’m not really envious anymore?
Especially after opening it and seeing the string of unfamiliar words, Wu Yan felt a headache starting to hurt.
"What is this..." Bullying him because he never went to school?
The popular characters in this world are different from what Yun Wanwan knows. After checking the information, she learned that the characters she is used to in this world belong to the ancient star characters. During the era of the interstellar explosion, the ancient star characters were lost. Now, only a few niche scholars can master these characters. They belong to the relic culture and basically no one studies them anymore.
There is no way that Wu Yan, who has never even attended a regular school, could recognize these words.
Yun Wanwan had already made detailed annotations very considerately, but Wu Yan still looked in excruciating pain.
"Try it first, and ask me if you don't understand."
“Do I really have to learn this?”
Yun Wanwan nodded, and there was unquestionable determination in her gentle smile.
"Okay, I'll learn." Wu Yan looked up at the sky. He was determined to keep going down the path he had chosen even if he cried.
An Luoke, who was watching the excitement nearby, was very curious, "Miss Yun, can I learn it too?"
Yun Wanwan raised an eyebrow, "You want to learn?"
"Can I?!" This posture was completely different from Wu Yan's face full of resistance.
The gap between people is so big.
"Okay." Yun Wanwan also gave a copy to Anluo. Thinking of Anluo's talent, Yun Wanwan felt that there might be unexpected gains.
She didn't know how far Anluo could learn, but it was definitely enough to stimulate Wu Yan, and things would definitely be lively in the future.
As a result, Anluoke exclaimed as soon as he opened it and took a look: "This is ancient star language! Does Miss Yun want us to learn ancient star language?"
"Do you know him?"
"Hehe, I don't know." Anluoke touched the back of his head, a little shy, "But I saw it in the school library before. It was too complicated, so I just thought it was fun to learn about it, but I didn't study it systematically."
Texts that carry history are charming no matter how you look at them. Ancient literature is not particularly difficult to learn, but it is very difficult to read and use it more thoroughly.
After all, vocabulary habits and context changes are different from the difficulty of mastering a new foreign language.
Anluoke added, "I never thought I'd have the opportunity to learn this. Miss Yun gave us this. Is this the complete article? So I need to read and understand the content of the article completely?"
Yun Wanwan nodded and glanced at Wu Yan: The gap is too big.
The introductory Qi-refining exercises she memorized were actually just a few hundred simple words, which was not easy for people today to understand, so she annotated each word.
It's a pity that there is no connection to the star network here, and her intelligent brain does not have any relevant introductory knowledge of ancient star language stored in it. She cannot start teaching them from the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic, so she can only make things difficult for them.
"It's not that difficult, actually. With a little effort, you can recognize all these characters in a day." After all, there is a cultural foundation, and the evolution of characters is also regular. It is not difficult to understand. An Luoke said it as a matter of course, "It's just that it will be more difficult to understand. I will come and ask Miss Yun for advice when the time comes."
Yun Wanwan smiled with her eyes curved: "Okay."
Then he turned his head and looked at Wu Yan: "Look, it's not that I want to do anything, but you are not irreplaceable, right?"
Wu Yan nodded helplessly: "Yes, yes, you are right." Anluo Luo said that he could recognize all these characters in one day. What else could he say? He couldn't say that he might not recognize ten characters in a day, right?
Is Wu Yan someone who can be easily defeated? Of course not. He is a person who is extremely good at climbing up the ladder.
In the blink of an eye, he smiled and said to Yun Wanwan, "Wanwan, you see I don't understand a single word you say. Can I start asking you for help from now on?"
Yun Wanwan looked at Wu Yan in surprise, seemingly unable to understand how he could say such a shameless thing. She then smiled and said, "Actually, there's a better way. You two can study together. Following Locke's pace, he can definitely help you, the underachiever."
Underachiever?
Although this word is not familiar, it is not a good word if you understand it literally.
Wu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at An Luoke, "But I don't think Captain An will necessarily be willing to teach me!"
Yun Wanwan naturally had a solution to this problem. "Locke, are you really unwilling? If you don't help teach him, I will have to teach him myself."
Anluoke: How can this be possible?!
"No, I'm willing. I can help teach this person... Haha, but I don't think this gentleman will learn well from me. I'm afraid he'll complain that I'm not teaching well and that he can't learn, and then he'll come and bother you, Miss Yun."
Not bad, this kid has learned to use provocation.
Does Wu Yan buy this? Of course not. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Yun Wanwan say.
"Well, Wu Yan, you now have two choices. Either learn on your own or learn from Anluo. As for how far you can learn, it's up to you."
Hearing Yun Wanwan's tone, Wu Yan knew he had no choice, but he couldn't help but quip, "Isn't there a third option?"
"Yes." Yun Wanwan said with a smile, "You don't have to learn it!"
It was clearly Wu Yan who approached her from the beginning and wanted to learn this and that. If Yun Wanwan didn't see that Wu Yan was talented, she wouldn't have given him this opportunity. How could she be controlled by him at this time?
Yun Wanwan added cheerfully, "To put it simply, it's up to you to learn or not!"
Wu Yan: Tsk.
He knew that although Yun Wanwan looked gentle and kind, she was actually not easy to handle.
Anluoke said coldly: "If you need help from others, you should have the attitude of asking for help. Captain Wu, don't be so arrogant."
After suppressing the troublemaker Wu Yan, Yun Wanwan didn't care how he would study with Anluo. "I'm going to be in seclusion for a while, so it's a good time for you to study quietly. Don't come here to disturb me."
"Retreat?"
"what are you up to?"
The two said in unison.
Yun Wanwan changed her tone so the two of them could understand: "There are some things I need to do quietly and cannot be disturbed by the outside world, so you guys should be careful. Even if you want to fight, stay away from me, okay?"
"oh……"
"When I'm in seclusion, I'll let Manman guard outside. If I startle it, it won't be polite."
Neither Wu Yan nor An Luoke wanted to imagine what the devil vine would be like without Yun Wanwan suppressing it.
Yun Wanwan was in seclusion, not only because she felt she wanted to rest, but also because she felt the two of them were too noisy together, so she simply left them alone. More importantly, it was time to start practicing the cultivation method that Yu Manman had promised her.
It is a critical moment and we cannot be affected by the outside world. I don’t know whether these two people can comply.
Anluo was obedient, but Wu Yan was not so disciplined. Even though Yun Wanwan told him not to get close, he still secretly came to take a look when Anluo was not paying attention, but was shocked by the changes in the small courtyard.
It turned out that what Yun Wanwan said about the devil vine guarding the yard actually turned out to be the entire devil vine that had run out and tightly wrapped the small yard. Not to mention getting close, even taking a look from a distance seemed impossible, and the situation in the yard could not be seen at all.
Moreover, without Yun Wanwan's suppression and the devil vine's indulgence, the danger level in the forest increased sharply. He had just approached when he alarmed several mutated plants. He was caught off guard and was made into a mess. Fortunately, he was agile and was not turned into fertilizer by those dangerous plants.
He had misunderstood this forest. Its good temper in the past had given him the illusion that it was kind and friendly. Now he saw its true face, which was also the face that Wu Yan knew best.
"Tsk, that's really curious."
What kind of person is Yun Wanwan?
Shi Kane, who was far away on the Central Star of the Empire, was also thinking about this problem. After investigating Yun Wanwan in detail again, he knew very well that the original Yun Wanwan did not have these abilities at all. As for the reason why Yun Wanwan drifted to the Y4162 star field, he also investigated it very clearly.
A new batch of supplies was mobilized and planned to be sent to the Y4162 star field. Shi Kane thought that after finishing the things at hand, he should go to the Y4162 star field in person to meet Yun Wanwan and confirm her future arrangements and plans.
He also looked at the data sent back by Anlock, but he also knew that, just like the special therapeutic potions he had, they could be developed but could not be mass-produced due to the limitations of raw materials. There were too many levels to overcome and they were too difficult.
Looking at the farming life that Anlock shared with him, Shi Kane felt helpless and wanted to laugh.
When this captain of the guards was first assigned to go, he was extremely reluctant, as if he was abandoned. But not long ago, the news he received was all about him enjoying it.
Yun Wanwan has this kind of magic.
Anlock is a chatterbox. At the end of a regular report, his complaints are more than the main text, and they are all his subjective speculations.
I used to find it very annoying because I couldn’t grasp the main point for a long time, but now when I read the stories he tells about Yun Wanwan, I find them quite interesting.
The adjutant beside him looked at Shi Kane's smile and knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be reading about Anlock again. He also knew that Anlock was assigned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Y4162 star field to be in charge of some confidential matters. He had comforted Anlock before. Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression now, he knew that Anlock performed well.
At least His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's smile at this moment shows that he is truly happy.
But the next moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
"Your Highness?" The adjutant was startled.
After His Highness came to power, he rarely showed his emotions. Although he was always smiling, those who knew him knew that it was a mask for His Highness the Crown Prince. The smile was very real, but it rarely touched His Highness's heart.
He really doesn't show his emotions on his face.
Only those few people who often follow His Highness can see something from the subtle changes in His Highness's mood.
It has been a long time since there has been such a drastic change as just now.
Kane had calmed down and waved his hand, "It's okay."
The adjutant retreated silently.
"We'll arrange it later and set sail for the Y4162 star region in three days."
"yes."
Shi Kane was a little dazed as he looked at the news that Anlock had just sent back.
Wu Yan is back. Yun Wanwan asked Anluo to pick him up. Judging from Wu Yan's appearance, he plans to stay on the planet permanently and has no intention of leaving.
Moreover, Yun Wanwan also asked Wu Yan and An Luoke to study the ancient star text together. An Luoke didn't know what the ancient star text meant, but he could feel the huge energy contained in it, and promised him that he would learn and understand it as soon as possible.
More importantly, Yun Wanwan announced that she would go into seclusion, and the small courtyard where she was was heavily wrapped in devil vines, and no one could get close.
Even the unexpectedly peaceful forest, without Yun Wanwan's suppression, became full of dangers. The kind of dangers they were familiar with made Shi Kaien very worried.
He didn't understand what Yun Wanwan meant by her seclusion, but he felt a need to go and see her. Shi Kaien covered his chest. This kind of feeling didn't come often, but every time it appeared, it was closely related to his future. Just like when he first saw Yun Wanwan, he felt that she was tied to some unknown future.
Several consecutive jump rifts have made the space around the already unstable Y4162 star field extremely chaotic. Large starships cannot pass through at all, and small starships can only get close through several jumps, and each time they need to find a stable route and time.
Only when the space stabilizes can the space stabilizer be injected to establish a stable jump route.
No matter how anxious he was, Shi Kane couldn't reach the Y4162 star field in a short time.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Kane opened his intelligent brain and ordered Kaia to collect all the information related to ancient star language.
Kaia: ???
