Chapter 15: Six-person crosstalk in Jinren Lane
With Ying Xing Wudi's invention, Lu Qi is no longer the weakest among the six!
She could punch Brother Ying Xing and kick Brother Jing Yuan. The new patented pair of gloves were tailor-made for her, and she made a group of people jump around in a mess.
The victim Jing Yuan has something to say.
"Brother Yingxing, this isn't fair!" Jing Yuan started to make a scene. He hid behind Yingxing, escaping Lu Qi's clutches, and breathlessly accused him, "Now I'm the only one who hasn't received the weapon you made!"
"Get out of here, kid, you haven't even grown all your hair yet," Ying Xing said to him impatiently, "We can talk about this matter later when you're in the battlefield and have mastered your skills."
"So what's going on with Sister Lu Qi?"
"Do I even need to ask? Of course it's because I'm loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever I go," Lu Qi said happily, "Brother Ying Xing, am I special?"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Ying Xing was afraid that she would pester him, so he could only nod perfunctorily, earning Dan Feng a death stare.
The bustling night market is buzzing with activity, and holographic menus lining the shops seem to exude the aroma of food. Traditional hawking clashes with ingenious machinery, and amidst the swirling steam, one can smell the scorching aroma of boiling oil and hear the clatter of gears on the freight tugboats at the Jinren Lane dock.
Lu Qi had not been to Jinren Lane many times. In her limited life, she was forced to enter such a prosperous place.
She is in poor health and takes medicine all year round. Junk food is almost insulated from her stomach. If she occasionally sneaks in to eat it, she will always be scolded by her overly worried mother.
Before playing this suddenly appeared game, the most outrageous thing she did was to argue with trolls online and appreciate the world through the small screen.
But I could only watch, but couldn't smell the scent of fireworks.
So now she especially cherishes the days when she can run and jump.
But this is hard for her friends who play with her.
There were many people in Jinren Alley, including people from the Immortal Boat and foreigners who yearned for this place. Usually, the shops with long queues were some novel online celebrity shops. Lu Qi looked at them for two or three times before being pulled away by Jing Yuan.
"Don't enter a crowded store!" Jing Yuan warned.
It was a good day, so he didn't want to go in and queue up. The food in these shops was not good and was expensive, and the queue would take at least two hours.
"I'm just taking a look, just taking a look," Lu Qi muttered, "I'm not planning on going in..."
When leaving, Lu Qi's eyes were still on the crowded shops.
It was impossible to get into the internet-famous restaurants, and even the old-fashioned restaurants that the locals loved had long queues. Before waiting to eat, Lu Qi took a group of people to buy food at the stalls.
She bought a lot, wanting to eat this and try that. As a result, five people, including Jingliu, became her trash cans, causing Jingyuan's younger brother to complain continuously.
"Don't buy anymore," the white-haired boy yelled, "If you buy any more, you won't be able to eat it all!"
That’s right. Jingyuan is the one who eats the most. These shameless adults said that Jingyuan is in the period of growth now, so they told him to eat more without thinking.
Bai Heng was eating so much that he almost had to lean on the wall to walk, so he quickly waved his hand.
"I, I can't do it anymore..." With Jingliu's support, Bai Heng tremblingly drank the last sip of tea, "Next time, next time..."
"Xiao Qi, you need to eat in moderation. Extravagance and waste will easily make headlines." Jing Liu reminded.
This is true... Although there are many people coming and going in Jinren Lane and not many people pay attention to them, these people themselves are already hot topics.
Lu Qi's gaze fell on Dan Feng, who was the easiest to identify.
The Dragon Vajra Master Yinyuejun possesses the ability to transform into a dragon, and his body displays the characteristics of the dragon clan. This is especially true of the dragon horns that snake from his forehead. Their rounded curves resemble those of sea coral, and they are just as beautiful and conspicuous.
If he hadn't hidden his tail when he moved around, he would probably be surrounded by a crowd of people taking photos and checking in.
Ying Xing next to him had a tough guy vibe. He rushed over after get off work from the Industrial Manufacturing Company. His hands were wrapped in bandages to increase resistance. His face was handsome, but relatively inconspicuous.
Jing Yuan is a teenager who has not yet grown up. Bai Heng's identity as a fox person is not uncommon in the Immortal Boat. Jing Liu doesn't like to go out. Even if she is awarded the title of Sword Master, not many people can recognize her.
If something goes wrong, it is inevitable that someone will dig out your identity and make a big fuss about it.
Lu Qi was originally thinking about the big eater event at the newly opened restaurant, but seeing that everyone was so hungry, he could only give up with a sense of unsatisfaction.
"Okay, then I won't buy it."
The snacks made this group of people so full that they had to regretfully cancel the queue and wander around the pier to digest the food.
The dock at Jinren Lane is not the place connecting to Linyuan Realm, but a freight dock.
The hurried cargo starships dragged fluorescent blue Mach rings across the sky, like shooting stars, forming unique landscapes above the fairy boats.
Lu Qi was tired from walking, so he found a long bench and sat down to look up at the sky.
The hard-working mechanical bird rested on a wooden shelf, with cardboard boxes of various sizes piled next to it.
After Lu Qi had eaten and drunk his fill, he started to act like a curious baby.
"Speaking of which, why is this place called Golden Man Lane?" Lu Qi raised his hand and asked, "Golden Man... is that what I understand it to mean?"
"Golden Man" is a term used exclusively on Xianzhou, and it's essentially a robot. Lu Qi had never been to school on Xianzhou, so his younger brother Jing Yuan, who had recently left school, was responsible for explaining things.
As early as thousands of years ago, Jinren Lane existed. At that time, Jinren Lane was still an important place for cargo transportation and collection, and the Xianzhou people often drove the Jinren to collect goods.
Until the mechanical catastrophe broke out in the universe, the inorganic emperor Rupert launched a war, and the impact of his anti-organic equation was so profound that it led to the rebellion of the Jin people.
Nowadays, the Jin people are no longer trusted and there are no more Jin people in Jinren Lane, but the name has a long history and has been preserved to this day.
"I see……"
Lu Qi seemed to be lost in thought.
The setting of the other world is quite comprehensive, and even the history is ridiculously rich. The Xianzhou Alliance alone has experienced countless wars of varying sizes over thousands of years of history.
It even affected some immortal ships, causing the demise of giant immortal ships.
And beside her, there was an orphan of a fallen immortal ship - Jingliu, whose hometown was from the Cangcheng immortal ship.
Jingliu noticed her gaze and turned his head to look over.
"Are there any more things you want to eat?" The cold and aloof sword-wielding girl asked softly, "I can eat some more."
"No, I'm full," Lu Qi swept away all the melancholy emotions and swung her legs with a smile. She leaned to the side in a frivolous manner and almost threw herself into Jingliu's arms. "Jingliu is so nice, I love you so much!"
"Then don't you love me?" Bai Heng refused and pounced on her.
"Love, love, love, love you all, you are all my unique wings!"
Happy times always pass so quickly. They went their separate ways at the entrance of Jinren Lane and went back to their respective homes. Only Danfeng insisted on sending Lu Qi back.
The young man with black hair and green eyes had no plans to go home for the time being, so he followed Lu Qi into her house.
This house had been vacant for many years before Lu Qi appeared. It was originally planned to be rented out through an agent, but it was always delayed and remained empty.
Until Lu Qi moved in.
The originally empty house was now filled with traces of Lu Qi, and even the air was filled with her unique fragrance.
"It's getting late, aren't you going home yet?" Lu Qi came out of the shower and saw Dan Feng still there. She asked in surprise, "You have to go to work tomorrow too."
Lu Qi is under Dan Feng's command. Their working hours are the same, and even their rest times are very different.
This is also the reason why Dan Feng was ready to tell Lu Qi that he only had one day left of vacation.
The small house wasn't big, but the living room was filled with quite a few things. Dan Feng looked carefully and saw some were gifts from him, and some were from others. The most eye-catching were the three sofas of different colors, which Lu Qi had bought shortly after moving in.
It is said that the lazy sofa is very popular recently. When you want to rest, you can lie on it and play Yu Zhao to spend a decadent day.
Dan Feng, Ying Xing and Jing Liu were not interested in it, but Bai Heng and Jing Yuan were very interested and even picked their favorite colors.
Because the other people didn't like the lazy sofa, Lu Qi bought three extra seats. They were hard wooden chairs without any fancy details.
Dan Feng didn’t know whether the other two were satisfied or not, but he liked it very much, after all, his name was written on it.
"I'll give you the things before I leave." Dan Feng sat down in the exclusive seat she bought and took out the box that had been prepared long ago from her sleeve.
"Hey, are you going to give me a gift?" Lu Qi came over, a towel hanging on her wet hair, "It's not even my birthday yet..."
"It's a return gift." Dan Feng replied.
Today in Jinren Lane, Danfeng saw Ying Xing using the materials sent by Lu Qi to create a return gift specifically for her. She couldn't sit still, so while they were strolling around, she went to Shoukao Hall and bought a piece of Changing Realm Tree Leaf.
This kind of leaves can be used as medicine, and the key is that they look very beautiful.
Lu Qi has recently become fond of collecting various plants. The leaves of the Changing World Plant have an extremely special space-warping ability, which may be helpful to her ability.
“What is this…?”
"I've compiled the specific uses of the Realm-Changing Leaves into a document and sent it to you." Dan Feng operated his Jade Omen and sent the information he had prepared long ago. "Rest well and be at the training ground on time tomorrow."
"I know..."
Lu Qi's happiness only lasted for a brief moment. When she thought about training again tomorrow, her scalp tingled.
She still remembered that Jingliu said he wanted her to train with Jingyuan... Danfeng did not refuse, which made her very nervous now, fearing that Danfeng would really let her receive Jingliu's Spartan education.
Even a strong young man like Jingyuan's brother was trained like a dog. If she were to train him, wouldn't she be half losing her life?
Lu Qi fell asleep with anxiety, but unexpectedly slept more soundly than he had imagined. As a result, he didn't have time to get up the next day, and was dug out of bed by Dan Feng.
This guy is almost 600 years old, how come he still has so much energy...
Dan Feng arrived early and brought her breakfast, but Lu Qi was so difficult to wake up. When asked to get up, she buried her head in the quilt like an otter.
He could only lift up her blanket, calmly pull down her pajamas that had shrunk to her belly, and then throw a towel soaked in ice water to wake her up physically.
Lu Qi shuddered when a cold towel wiped his face, and he woke up completely.
It was not late, so Lu Qi quickly finished her breakfast. The steamed buns and soy milk were delicious, but she ate so fast in order to save time that she almost choked to death.
Dan Feng could only sigh and pat her back.
"Woo woo woo, help me get the gloves Ying Xing gave me and put them on the bedside. We'll leave now!"
The two hurried to the training ground and finally returned to the team before the instructor called the roll.
Dan Feng is his superior and does not need to participate in the training of new recruits. He is in such a hurry just to accommodate Lu Qi's schedule.
He didn't need to train, and most of the time he served as a sparring partner for the other Cloud Cavalry, occasionally guiding others on their shortcomings.
Lu Qi was a rather unique figure within the Cloud Cavalry. She had been assigned to the logistics department but was currently assigned to the frontline training. The instructor in charge of checking the roster saw the suffix "Medical Officer" in her title and was overjoyed.
"Hey, we have a healer in our team. How old are you, kid?"
"Report to the Master, I am 20 years old this year!"
"You're still a minor..." the instructor muttered, "Frontline training is very strict. If you can't hold on any longer, report it soon. I'll transfer you back to the logistics team."
"Report to the commander, according to the age of the short-lived species, I am already an adult!"
The teacher pretended not to hear.
20 years old is too young for either the immortal or short-lived species. In addition, Lu Qi has a childish face. Even though there are many young people in the Yunqi Army, she looks so thin and small that it always makes people worry.
But I didn’t expect that Lu Qi completed the training quite well, especially the strength training. He could almost wipe out the entire team by himself.
Lu Qi was so proud. The gift Ying Xing gave her touched her heart. No matter what kind of weapon or enemy, they could not withstand her light blow - she did not use her full strength because she was worried about beating the opponent to death.
She had no idea of the value of the fabric woven by Xingyun combined with machinery, she just thought Ying Xing was awesome.
With the ability to thrive anywhere, Pure E was lively, cheerful, and talkative, yet without airs, and she quickly became one with the team. When Dan Feng came over to join her for lunch, the once delicate girl, now covered in a thin layer of dust, smiled brightly despite her disheveled face.
After seeing Dan Feng, Lu Qi said a few words to his colleagues around him and ran out of the encirclement.
"Want to have lunch together?"
Dan Feng nodded and said casually, "Did you make a new friend?"
"It's my younger brother," Lu Qi corrected. "They can't beat me, so they want to swear brotherhood with me and call me Big Brother."
Dan Feng raised his eyebrows, and seeing Lu Qi smiling and looking silly, he stretched out his finger and poked her forehead.
"Stop giggling and come eat."
He had brought it with him from the cafeteria, where everyone else had rushed to eat during lunch break. Dan Feng had a special privilege; the food from the cafeteria was delivered directly to him. He took the lunch box and brought it over to eat with Lu Qi.
Lu Qi was very hungry after exercising for most of the day. She didn't eat much and was full quickly. Dan Feng took the rest without hesitation.
"Come to think of it, why do you want me to train with the team on the front line?" Lu Qi asked Dan Feng while eating and drinking a drink.
She couldn't understand why she, a logistics worker, should train so hard.
Dan Feng raised his eyes and glanced at her.
"Prepare for your mission," he said calmly as he packed up the lunch box. "You will need to carry out a solo mission."
"Huh, a solo mission...me?"
"You've only been in the Cloud Cavalry for a month and haven't been officially listed yet. Although I have a record of you, I'm the only one who can see it," Dan Feng said. "So you're the most suitable person to take on this mission."
"What mission?"
The Vajra Dragon Lord Yinyuejun paused for a moment, his inky long hair hanging down to his waist, swaying in the breeze.
He lowered his dark blue eyes and spoke slowly.
"Undercover mission."
