Lin Yuan has always been confident in his communication skills.
Because of the peculiarities of his family, Lin Yuan had seen countless people of all kinds since he was a child, and thus gradually figured out a way to get along with others. After going to school, he was always the focus of the crowd.
After crossing into Parnaki, he followed the people of the "Temple of Disaster" as a "Knight Templar" to help the victims, distribute supplies, and spread the doctrine. He came into contact with more and more people, and became more and more adept at socializing.
Including the class teacher, there were only 25 students in Class 9 of Grade 2. Even though everyone except him had already held a high position, they usually communicated through "Qbao" or class meetings, which was equivalent to communicating across the network. They did not have to directly feel the pressure brought by the power gap. In addition, with Rui Hang in charge, Lin Yuan never felt how difficult it was to get along with these classmates. He quickly got along well with everyone. Even Rong Yu, who was recognized as the most autistic and reluctant to contact others in the class, gradually let down his guard in Lin Yuan's enthusiasm.
Bai Luo, Su Mu, and Zhou Xun, especially these three people, are the ones who get along best with Lin Yuan. So when Yu Zhi suggested that he join the mercenary group founded by Zhou Xun, Lin Yuan, who wanted to venture into Parnaki alone, thought about it again and again and finally agreed to the proposal.
Before setting off, Lin Yuan was still a little nervous - the so-called "death in the spotlight" means that some people can chat enthusiastically with others online, but when they meet in person, they can't say a word. Although Lin Yuan himself is not such a personality, he cannot guarantee that his classmates are such a personality.
It was not until he met Su Mu that Lin Yuan's worries finally subsided.
His classmates were indeed easy to get along with - Lin Yuan was still thinking optimistically a second before Zhou Xun and Rong Yu appeared in front of him.
"Hey, Lin Yuan, I finally see you in real life." Zhou Xun's smile was still the same as when he saw him in the class meeting, hearty and enthusiastic, making people feel good about him at first sight.
Lin Yuan subconsciously wanted to respond to Zhou Xun's greeting like he did every time he met him in the past, but the hands hanging by his side felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them up.
Even though he was in the sea, Lin Yuan could still feel cold sweat on his forehead.
What is this feeling?!
Sharp, heavy, cold, and with a faint, yet terrifying smell of blood. Even though the handsome man in front of him had short golden hair as bright as the sun, he still couldn't stop the murderous feeling that emanated from him, as if he had been tempered in purgatory for thousands of years.
Su Mu, who was standing by, quickly noticed Lin Yuan's abnormality. He immediately yelled at Zhou Xun, "I told you to be more restrained. Look, my bustling commercial street has been ruined by you two, and there is not even a trace of fish left!"
He didn't point out Lin Yuan's embarrassment directly, but Zhou Xun understood what he meant instantly. He laughed, looking a little embarrassed: "Sorry, sorry, I just happened to be doing a temporary mission and forgot to control my power."
In an instant, the cold aura and the dull feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on Lin Yuan quickly disappeared from him, and the man in front of him once again became the familiar good young man in the class meeting.
Rong Yu, on the other hand, was hiding in his hood as usual, as dull as the shadow following behind Zhou Xun.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after casting a grateful look at Su Mu, he smiled again, not caring about the embarrassment he had in front of his classmates, and said generously: "You really scared me to death just now. I'm just a little knight, so take it easy."
Although the words were spoken lightly, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Seeing the excellence of his classmates, although Lin Yuan felt pressured, he naturally put himself on the same level as them, thinking that since they were both traversers, his talent should not be much worse than his classmates. As long as he was given enough time, sooner or later he would be on the same level of strength as his classmates.
The gap between them and the Knights of the Temple made Lin Yuan feel a little light-hearted. Yu Zhi never showed her powerful side as the "Goddess of Disaster" in front of him, and his classmates always looked cheerful and silly in front of him.
The most powerful enemy Lin Yuan had ever encountered was the magical beast in the sea near San Carlos. Although it was stronger than him, it eventually fell to his strong willpower.
It was precisely because of all these reasons that Lin Yuan came up with the idea of traveling to Parnaki.
But it was not until now that he finally realized how naive he was.
Be it Yu Zhi or Su Mu, they have already stood at the top of the world, and have never disdained to use their status and power to oppress others. They are also careful to maintain his dignity and only show their "human" side to him.
But Zhou Xun's appearance made Lin Yuan realize how thick the barrier between him and his classmates was - it even exceeded Lin Yuan's entire imagination of power.
This was just Zhou Xun's aura in its natural state without being suppressed. He didn't even take it seriously, didn't enter the combat state, didn't cast any magic, didn't use any combat skills, but he already made Lin Yuan feel as scared as if he was being watched by a giant dragon.
——Although Lin Yuan had never asked Zhou Xun and Rong Yu directly about their story, he had learned a little bit about it from the conversations with his classmates.
The country where Zhou Xun was born is called the Kingdom of Yaflan, located to the east of San Carlos, across the sea from it.
Unlike the religious state of San Carlos where power is concentrated in the "Temple of Disaster", the Kingdom of Avran is nominally ruled by the king, but the actual power is in the hands of the nobles. The huge Kingdom of Avran is divided into more than a dozen principalities, large and small, and Zhou Xun's parents in Parnagi are said to be the "Sandro" family, which has the largest political power in the Kingdom of Avran.
No one knows why Zhou Xun, the eldest son of a top noble family who is likely to inherit the entire family in the future, chooses to leave home to form a mercenary group and live a life of living on the edge of a knife.
As for Rong Yu, unlike Zhou Xun, he is not a pure human, but a hybrid of a cat demon and a human. Mixed races like this have a very low status in Parna and are naturally discriminated against. It is said that Rong Yu was sold as a slave when he was very young, and was later rescued by Zhou Xun, and has been with him ever since. Rong Yu's current extremely autistic appearance is closely related to his past as a "slave".
Apart from that, Lin Yuan didn't know any more details. The only thing he was sure of was that no matter Zhou Xun, Lin Yuan, or his classmates, everyone had suffered much more than he did.
"I once thought that Zhou Xun readily agreed to let me join the group because he saw my talent and ability, and the identities of a "time traveler" and a classmate were just added value. But now it seems that even if I go to Parnaki, I still can't escape the fate of being a "relative." "
"If we weren't both time travelers and classmates, would someone like me really be in their eyes?"
"Am I really qualified to join the mercenary group "Blue" they founded and become a partner who can fight alongside them?"
...
Even though Lin Yuan tried his best to restrain himself, his eyes still revealed his confusion and unwillingness. Zhou Xun and Su Mu had lived for a hundred years. Although they always looked cheerful in the crowd, they could not be as innocent as teenagers. How could they not see through Lin Yuan's thoughts?
The man and the fish exchanged a subtle look, and then Zhou Xun said, "Speaking of which, Rong Yu and I just happened to receive a commission in Kyrenia recently. Do you want to take on a commission with us?"
Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Xun in surprise. Although he had thought that Zhou Xun would discuss joining the group with him after they met, he had never expected Zhou Xun to be so straightforward and directly invite him to participate in such an important commission.
Seeing Lin Yuan's hesitation, Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small commission."
Having said that, if he continued to make excuses, there was no need for him, Lin Yuan, to continue joining the group. So Lin Yuan nodded, and then added: "I will not let myself become a burden to you."
Zhou Xun patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Not everyone is born with great strength. Rong Yu and I have also honed our abilities through countless battles. Don't worry, with your talent, it's only a matter of time before you can reach our level."
Lin Yuan curled the corners of his mouth, nodded vigorously, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
"It's my first commission. What kind of opponent will I meet?"
...
Lin Yuan stretched and rubbed his body which was a little stiff from sitting for a long time.
Soft white clouds passed by the plane window, as if emitting a sweet fragrance.
Lin Yuan recalled the taste of cotton candy in his memory, swallowed his saliva with some nostalgia, called out to the stewardess who happened to be passing by, and asked her for a glass of orange juice.
Although he couldn't eat the sweet marshmallows, the sweet and sour orange juice relieved Lin Yuan's fatigue very well, and his confused brain became a little clearer.
Looking to the side, Su Mu and Lin Lang were sleeping soundly with their heads tilted and large masks covering their faces.
At this moment, the three of them were sitting on a plane flying to L City, Y Province - in order to travel such a long distance, they even took two days off from school, the reason being naturally a commission from Major Zhang.
A mysterious relic was suddenly discovered in a remote mountain forest in L City. After comparing the text in the relic, it was found that the composition of the text was somewhat similar to the Parnaki common language. The superiors attached great importance to this matter and have sent several "travelers" to investigate - it is said that these "travelers" are higher in status than Lin Yuan and are truly in contact with the core. The relic has been investigated for nearly a week, but there has not been much progress.
As the person in charge of connecting with the "time travelers" in Province S, Major Zhang has been looking for a "time traveler" who can go to Province Y to assist in the investigation after receiving instructions from his superiors.
In fact, he had already decided on the candidates: the technical backbone of the "Time Travelers' Union" where Lin Yuan and the other two were, and several "time travelers" who were also part of the union's management.
Just two days ago, these people had boarded a plane to Province Y and arrived at the ruins first.
But the "mutant cedar" presented by Lin Yuan and the other two gave Major Zhang a new idea. There are at least 200 mutants in the country, most of which are far away from cities, so the public has not yet discovered their existence. Among these 200 mutant incidents, the number of "travelers" who discovered and subdued them totaled less than 50, and more than half of them were solved by the team established by the president of the "Travelers' Union". This team is also the first team in China to start magic training and successfully use magic.
It can be said that this team is the undisputed strongest "time traveler" team in China.
However, they were able to become the "strongest" not only because of their own talents and their rich experience in magic in Parnaki, but also because they were the first batch of "travelers" who chose to surrender to the country and tell the truth. Their pledge of surrender not only earned them their current status, but also the country's full support for their magic practice.
All the results of high-tech analysis of magic, the places of practice with the strongest magic power detected through technology...all kinds of benefits, this team can enjoy them first.
With official support and their hard work, it is not surprising that the team has achieved what it has today.
But among the three people, only Lin Yuan could obtain intelligence-related information through the "Special Event Management Bureau". However, Lin Yuan could not obtain core secrets such as magic concentration and cultivation methods through his own authority. However, he, Su Mu, and Lin Lang figured out the channels for cultivation and the use of magic in their own way.
Major Zhang was convinced that these three people must be smarter and more talented than they appeared to be.
This mission was not only a preparation for Major Zhang to let them enter the real core, but also a test of the three people by Major Zhang - the former came from Major Zhang's frank information, and the latter came from the inference of Lin Yuan and the other two.
Although Lin Yuan and the other two didn't really care whether they could enter the core, they were very interested in the fact that Major Zhang mentioned "the remains of what appears to be Parnaki writing". Especially if they participated in the mission, Lin Lang and Su Mu would be permanently employed. At the same time, the three of them could travel at public expense without having to attend classes or do homework.
It's simply perfect!
If there was one thing that was not so satisfying about this trip, it was that Major Zhang took care of all their travel - from accommodation to transportation to L City.
Lin Yuan drank the orange juice in the glass, looked out the window and thought: It would be great if we could choose our own way of traveling. We can just find Xiao Shichuan and ask him to drive a "Didi Express" for us, and we can reach the mission location with one click of the portal, so we don't have to waste time and sit on the plane for several hours.
Outside the window, the beautiful scenery of L City slowly unfolds on the land like a scroll. The originally ethereal and thin magic suddenly becomes stronger the moment it enters L City.
The more beautiful the place, the more concentrated the magic power is, and the easier it is to mutate. Among the more than 200 mutant incidents in the country, Province Y can be said to be an absolute "hard-hit area". This province alone accounted for a full six or seven mutation incidents-it has only been less than half a month since Zhizhi was first discovered in the back mountain. At this moment, the magic concentration on Earth is less than one percent of that on Parnaki. Fortunately, the higher the intelligence of a creature, the harder it is to mutate, and these intelligent beings are often concentrated in cities where the magic power is thinner, so the chaos caused is not easy to be discovered and is easier to deal with.
If we were to ask who are the busiest people during this period, it would undoubtedly be Rui Hang and Xiao Shichuan.
The students have the duty of being "students" and must stay in the classroom most of the time, so they can only focus on defending the base camp of Y City. As the class teacher, Rui Hang has much more free time than others, and the school will not care too much if he disappears for a few hours. Therefore, as long as there is free time, Rui Hang will take Xiao Shichuan to patrol the world and nip any possible danger in the bud. At the same time, students will also use their spare time to pay attention to intelligence on the Internet. Once something involving supernatural events occurs, Rui Hang will rush to deal with it immediately, and the whole person is busy like a spinning top.
But at this moment, Rui Hang and Xiao Shichuan's strength has not yet recovered to their peak state. Even if they want to protect the entire earth, they are powerless. They can only patrol as many places as possible where mutations are likely to occur. For example, in this commission by Major Zhang, Rui Hang did not notice any abnormality at all.
Lin Yuan leaned his forehead against the airplane window and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Everyone in Class 9 knew that the chaos had not even begun, and everything that was happening now was not even the beginning.
A drop of rain suddenly fell outside the window, interrupting Lin Yuan's melancholy mood.
He was stunned for a moment, and looked out the window with a somewhat dazed look - the blue sky was covered by dark clouds without him knowing, and thunder seemed to be heard in the thick clouds, giving people a full sense of oppression.
It looked like a terrible thunderstorm was about to occur, but the falling raindrops were just a patter and showed no signs of getting bigger.
Lin Yuan heard the stewardess's voice in a very low voice, with a surprised "Huh": "Didn't they say it wouldn't rain today?"
"Lin Yuan."
Su Mu and Lin Lang had woken up at some point. The three of them exchanged a knowing look and saw the same solemnity in each other's eyes.
——This is not an ordinary rain. Every drop of rain falling from the sky is wrapped in pure magic. This phenomenon is not uncommon in Parnaqui. When the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky absorb a huge amount of magic, this kind of "magic rain" phenomenon will appear. The characteristic is that the cumulonimbus clouds seem to be very powerful, but the rain that falls is very little. Compared with the earth, the "magic rain" in Parnaqui looks much weirder. The raindrops are mostly blood red or black, as if it is a warning from God to people.
When the "magic rain" phenomenon is detected, the farmers of Parnagi will immediately build a rain shelter for the crops in the fields. The rain shelter is often larger than the cultivated fields, so that the magic-rich rainwater can flow into a specific drainage channel, so that the magic in it will not be absorbed by the plants and cause mutations.
But for the "magic rain" phenomenon to occur, it is absolutely impossible without sufficient magic power. Now that Lin Yuan and the other two are at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the natural absorption of magic power will indeed cause a huge amount of magic power to condense in the sky. However, this magic power has been absorbed by the three of them at the moment of condensation, and even the remaining magic power is not enough to support the appearance of "magic rain".
The appearance of "magic rain" can only mean one thing: the speed at which magic flows into the earth is gradually increasing, and the amount of magic has been increased by a level.
"You two help me cover, I'll go and disperse the cumulonimbus clouds," Lin Lang said to the two.
The appearance of "magic rain" at this time is not a good thing. The country has not accumulated enough experience in dealing with mutants, and has not made sufficient plans for the promotion of magic. With such a heavy rain, I am afraid that in the next month, mutants in L City will emerge like a gusher.
Lin Lang took a deep breath and closed his eyes. In an instant, a huge amount of mental power swept across the entire plane, and everyone's emotions quickly calmed down under Lin Lang's comfort.
When Lin Lang opened her eyes again, a layer of dreamy deep purple mist had floated in her eyes.
With a thought in her mind, she did not even need to chant magic. The seat where Lin Lang was sitting had been superimposed with spatial coordinates and illusions. The next moment, Lin Lang's figure flashed and he disappeared into the cabin.
"Would you three like something to drink?" The flight attendant walked over pushing a cart and said enthusiastically to the three people, especially Su Mu and "Lin Lang".
These two hot new stars have been secretly watched by all the flight attendants since the first moment they boarded the plane.
Now the plane was about to land in more than ten minutes. Su Mu and Lin Lang, who had been sleeping soundly since they got on the plane, finally woke up. The flight attendant took this opportunity to walk over to the three of them. After Su Mu asked for a glass of boiled water, he looked at him and "Lin Lang" expectantly: "Can you please give me an autograph?"
"Of course." Su Mu smiled at her generously: "It's no problem to take a photo together."
He turned around and said to "Lin Lang" beside him naturally: "What about you?"
"Of course no problem." Lin Lang's voice came from the "Phantom". She nodded to the flight attendant and smiled: "A cup of coffee, thank you."
The flight attendant looked flattered and quickly poured a cup of coffee for Lin Lang, handing it over attentively: "Please take it carefully."
At this moment, Lin Lang's magic had not recovered to the point where the illusion could condense into a physical entity, but the half-filled coffee cup landed steadily in Lin Lang's hands in the slightly bumpy plane - the magic from Lin Yuan held the cup in mid-air, and with Lin Lang's movements, it was placed on the dining table.
On the other side, Su Mu also took out a notebook and a signature pen from the small bag he carried with him, and wrote his name in two strokes. While the flight attendant's attention was drawn to "Lin Lang", he signed his name for Lin Lang at the bottom, and covered it with illusion. Then, as "Lin Lang" signed, he gradually released the covering illusion.
The three people's seamless cooperation made the flight attendant not notice that Lin Lang in front of them was not a physical entity.
Just after she left happily with the autograph, Lin Lang finally arrived at the cumulonimbus cloud.
Under the blue sky, the sun was still shining brightly, but the rolling dark clouds were like an endless iceberg, blocking all the sunlight and dividing the sky into light and darkness.
The projection of "Parnaki" was still hanging in the sky, and a torrent of magic power poured out from the gap that overlapped with the projection. This time the magic power was no longer pure light gold, but seemed to be covered by a layer of gray mist.
The moment the huge amount of magic power fell into the sky, the cumulonimbus cloud opened a huge hole as if it had life. The strong wind carried the magic power and swallowed it all into its belly.
Indistinctly, the cumulonimbus cloud seemed to have grown even larger. White light flickered in the dark clouds, condensing into a huge electric current.
Eventually, just like raindrops containing magical power falling to the ground, this lightning that has absorbed too much magical power will also strike the ground fiercely, bringing unpredictable disasters.
A deep purple magic circle unfolded under Lin Lang's feet. She stood ten thousand meters in the sky, and the strong wind lifted her long hair and skirt.
"Creature of the Goddess of Light, spirit that controls the element of ice, please obey my call and dye the rain clouds before you into silver-white - eternal freezing."
As the ancient language from the elves was spoken, the temperature around them dropped rapidly. Wherever Lin Lang's magic reached, all water elements turned into ice crystals at a speed visible to the naked eye. The magic rain and lightning contained in the huge cumulonimbus clouds also froze rapidly under the wrapping of Lin Lang's magic, like a barrier that sealed all the wandering magic under the ice, turning it into a huge "iceberg".
Such a huge object has long exceeded the weight that the air can support, but it did not fall according to the laws of gravity, but still floated in the air.
——After releasing the freezing magic, Lin Lang quickly used wind magic on the cumulonimbus cloud that had turned into an iceberg, forcibly holding it in the air.
With Lin Lang's current magical power, if she continued to hold the iceberg like this, her magical power would be quickly exhausted in less than five minutes. Therefore, before the iceberg fell to the ground, Lin Lang needed to completely get rid of the iceberg in the air.
The magic power surged once again, and the wind around it changed direction with the magic power. All the free magic power in the air gathered around Lin Lang as the core, and continuously poured into her body.
Lin Lang took a deep breath and uttered words that were completely different from the Elvish language, more ancient, and full of mystery and madness.
"Master of Chaos, King of the Abyss. Please answer my call and ignite the flames of hell that devour everything."
As the last word fell, a whisper seemed to ring in Lin Lang's ears. At the same time, Rui Hang, who was far away in Y City, also raised his head from the test papers he was grading and looked in the direction of L City in astonishment.
Is this... the demon clan's "karma fire"?
Why did Lin Lang suddenly use "Infernal Fire"? Did he encounter something?
Without any hesitation, Rui Hang quickly turned the magic power in his body. An invisible contract was formed between Lin Lang and Rui Hang as Lin Lang cast his spell. Huge and pure magic power quickly poured into Lin Lang's body, filling her "magic circuit" that was about to be exhausted.
Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
If you want to prevent magic from falling to the ground, simply using wind magic is just scratching the surface. Before long, the cumulonimbus clouds will condense again, allowing the "magic rain" to fall.
In order to completely solve it, it is necessary to burn it along with the magic power thousands of miles high in the sky.
Among them, the fastest and most effective way is the demon clan's "Infernal Fire", which is the "inherent talent" that Rui Hang once used. It is a terrible flame that can even burn magic power, one of the most dangerous existences in Parnaki. Apart from the demon clan, almost no one can cast "Infernal Fire", even the "great magician" who can exist as a "legend".
The reason why Lin Lang was able to use the "Infernal Fire" was because Rui Hang took the initiative to provide the students with the "inherent talent" of the demon race for analysis and evolved it into a magical form. By chanting the spell, a special contract can be formed, and the corresponding magic power can be borrowed from Rui Hang to use the "Infernal Fire" as a medium.
Due to the special nature of "Karma Fire", if non-demons want to use it, "Karma Fire" will also burn the user's magic power, consuming a huge amount of magic power.
In the past, Lin Lang had a huge reserve of magic power, and he did not feel much magic power consumption when using "Karma Fire". Therefore, when choosing to destroy the cumulonimbus clouds, he did not think much and chose the most convenient and fastest "Karma Fire" without hesitation.
But the moment she finished the spell, Lin Lang regretted it. The consumption of magic power far exceeded her imagination. The magic power reserve in her body that was enough to support a forbidden spell was drained in an instant, and even the simplest "Floating Spell" was difficult to maintain.
Fortunately, just before she ran out of energy, Rui Hang's magic power entered Lin Lang's body like timely rain and solved her predicament.
"Thank you, Teacher Rui." Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his lips. He didn't waste any more time. The magic power transformed into "Karma Fire" which directly enveloped the cumulonimbus clouds.
The blazing "fire of karma" melted the cumulonimbus clouds, and the rain containing magical power fell on the "fire of karma", but did not extinguish it. Instead, even the water vapor was "melted" in the fire of karma.
The lightning lurking in the cumulonimbus clouds gradually revealed its true appearance as the outer layer of ice and water vapor disappeared - the lightning that was supposed to be invisible actually condensed into a solid entity, flashing dazzling white light, like a dragon wrapped in electric current, roaring painfully towards Lin Lang.
Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations before Lin Lang arrived, with all kinds of barriers and illusions, which completely concealed the changes in the sky. Whether it was the naked eye or machine monitoring, no trace of Lin Lang, the cumulonimbus cloud, or the "Thunder Dragon" could be found.
The "Thunder Dragon" twisted and curled up in pain in the "Karma Fire", like a long snake that was pierced seven inches, and soon became the fuel of the "Karma Fire" like a cumulonimbus cloud.
Only after the magic power in the body and the surroundings was completely emptied did the "Infernal Fire" tremble unwillingly for a few times and completely disappear into the air, without even a trace of burning residue left.
Finally solving the big problem, Lin Lang flashed back to his seat and tore down the barrier covering the sky. Then he relaxed his body, picked up the coffee that had already gone cold, drank it all, and sighed deeply.
"I'm so tired." Lin Lang leaned back in his chair without any image, and said lazily: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone alone to expose myself to the limelight. I would have brought you two along as well."
"Who told you to be so stubborn?" Lin Yuan and Su Mu laughed, but they still held down one of Lin Lang's wrists and infused magic power into her body.
Lin Lang hummed comfortably a few times. At the same time, the cabin broadcast, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again.
"Dear passengers, the plane is about to land——"
Outside the window, the sunlight dispels the haze and falls gently, as if bringing infinite vitality to the earth.
...
An Xueyi closed the book in his hand, looked up at the clock on the wall, and stood up.
"It's almost time, let's go."
Following him, Yun Xiaoxiao, a pastor in the team, stood up reluctantly and walked towards the exit with An Xueyi. At the same time, she couldn't help but complain, "President, why did you have to come and pick them up in person? This is too embarrassing!"
After that, she shook her lower lip, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "Because they are some kind of 'celebrity'? Humph, they are just pretending to be noble on Earth with Parnaki's things!"
An Xueyi looked at Yun Xiaoxiao with a bit of a smile, not understanding why she was so hostile. "I am the person in charge of Province S. The three of them are going to join our team and help us decipher the ruins. They are also talents specially recommended by Major Zhang, so of course I have to welcome them in person."
Yun Xiaoxiao curled her lips, unwilling to accept An Xueyi's words: "What kind of talents are they? Why haven't I heard of their names in the union before?"
"There are so many time travelers, but not all of them have joined our union. It is said that they have relied on their own abilities to travel alone in Parnaki for several years and have even learned the local language. Based on this alone, their talents must be no worse than those of the core members of our union."
But Yun Xiaoxiao was not willing to listen to An Xueyi's explanation. She felt that the higher-ups had suddenly stuffed three people into their team, two of whom were "big stars", which was clearly an attempt to use their team to brush up their qualifications, and maybe even to steal the credit.
Especially that Lin Lang!
Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but secretly glance at An Xueyi.
As one of the earliest core members to join the "Time Travelers' Union" and become the union's vice president, Yun Xiaoxiao has always had a secret crush on An Xueyi, the president who led them to struggle for survival in the alien world and who took them to join the official forces upon returning to Earth. He is the real "core" of their union.
As a girl who used to have low self-esteem, several years of time travel changed her character and also changed her destiny.
In Yun Xiaoxiao's heart, An Xueyi is the handsome, omnipotent hero in Dianjia literature. He stands at the turning point of the world's destiny, saving people from despair and leading them to hope.
And she is the heroine who silently guards the hero. Although she is equally extraordinary, she is willing to use her own achievements to set off the hero's great career, and only wishes to be his supporter and understander forever.
Yun Xiaoxiao has seen many animations adapted from novels like this. A powerful male protagonist is always surrounded by confidantes. They may have outstanding families, or have deep secrets, or have dazzling identities - and without exception, they are all extremely beautiful women.
"Coming." She heard An Xueyi say.
A large wave of passengers poured out of the exit like a tide, but Yun Xiaoxiao still spotted Lin Lang in the crowd at a glance—she had chestnut-dyed curly hair, a light-colored halter dress, a denim jacket, a pair of flat canvas shoes, and was holding a bright red suitcase in her right hand.
Most of her face was blocked by the sunglasses, but even the small half that was revealed exuded a breathtaking beauty.
——A time traveler, an official, a popular female star, at the young and beautiful age of seventeen, and still a top beauty.
Yun Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with alarm bells, and a strong sense of crisis surged from her heart.
Without waiting for An Xueyi to say hello, she stepped forward and grabbed Lin Lang's hand.
"You must be Lin Lang, I'm Yun Xiaoxiao, nice to meet you."
Lin Lang: "...Hello, I'm Lin Lang."
"I've heard that Sister Lin Lang is very pretty. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed as pretty as her reputation says." Yun Xiaoxiao forced out a fake smile and said sarcastically, "With such a pretty face, I'm afraid her suitors will go all around the L City Airport."
Lin Lang: “…”
Why does this sister speak in such a strange tone? Is she acting in a palace drama?
It was only then that Yun Xiaoxiao's gaze fell on Lin Yuan and Su Mu behind Lin Lang, and her smile suddenly became more playful: "Ah, but with them here, those suitors won't have a chance to touch my sister even a finger."
"Sister, you think too much." Lin Lang finally figured out something. He grabbed Yun Xiaoxiao with his backhand and exerted force on his hand, causing Yun Xiaoxiao to stagger and fall directly into Lin Lang's arms.
"Oh, sister, why are you so careless?" Lin Lang took the opportunity to hug Yun Xiaoxiao's waist, put his lips against her ears, and let out an ambiguous low laugh: "They are just my pet number one and pet number two. Are you jealous, sister?"
Yun Xiaoxiao: “…”
"Don't worry, sister." Lin Lang said faintly: "Compared to stinky men, I prefer women like sister~"
Yun Xiaoxiao: “!!!”
...
"Pet No. 1" Lin Yuan and "Pet No. 2" Su Mu looked at each other helplessly and sighed.
"If you say she is a green tea, then so be it. Why do you have to drag us down with you?"
Su Mu patted Lin Yuan's shoulder: "This is already good enough, do you want to hear her spread rumors that we are a couple?"
Lin Yuan: "......"
I always feel that this "commission" will be full of blood and gore.
