Chapter 126: Exploration Is Also Infinite
On this day, the Materials Research Park officially went into operation. To mark the occasion, Liu Shichang and others organized a modest yet meaningful ceremony.
Lu Yu was invited onto the stage to say a few words. Facing a crowd of employees and researchers, he avoided empty platitudes and spoke sincerely:
“First of all, welcome everyone to join Xiaosanghe Materials Research Company! I hope you will find comfort in your work here and achieve great results.”
Most of those present were engaged in material research as scientific staff. Specifically, the first floor housed a restaurant, the second a leisure club, the third an art exchange center, the fourth a game hall, and above that, five floors of guest rooms for external rental. Each floor’s rooms and atmosphere were distinct, creating a world unto itself.
The divine emblem on his brow was unlike any he had seen before, yet Wang Yu could not yet be considered a true divine being; there was a fundamental difference between him and the gods.
“Uncle Tan, I’ll leave my friends in your care,” I said without much fuss. Having caused trouble in Donglin this time, I knew I would have to bear the consequences.
Earlier, She Yu had almost persistently persuaded her to agree to appear on the program with me. Catfish still felt frustrated; although this was an opportunity to appear on television and perhaps attract advertisers and fame, she felt indifferent.
Taiwanese media reveled in their antics, while Hong Kong’s entertainment circle was mentally exhausted, each person cursing Zhang Jin in their hearts.
“You mean? You want me to swallow this? What is it?” I immediately picked it up. It was warm, with a faintly fishy smell.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mo Feng, with a dull expression, took Ye Fang aside, saying they had something to discuss, then excused themselves from the group. They found a quiet corner and sat down at an empty table.
Fortunately, Zhang Jin’s second debut on the music scene was in Taiwan, where the media had witnessed his rise to fame firsthand. How could they not lavish praise and express their high expectations?
This was a temptation he found hard to resist, even though the person he was to pledge allegiance to was a mortal, not one from the underworld.
Honestly, Zhang Jin envied Liu Jialing. At least she had Wu Junru and Zeng Huaqian by her side during the toughest times, while he had fought alone for a grueling twenty days.
“The Fire Qilin shouldn’t be so easy to tame,” Lin Fan observed the creature resting within the Fire Spirit. It seemed to have found a safe haven, lazily lying there yawning.
Inside the government hall, Wang Xu muttered to himself. Today’s battle beneath Langguan City had not ended in defeat for the enemy, and there was no need to retreat a hundred miles. All signs suggested that Aoyun Tian no longer wished to attack Langguan City.
He was clad in a peculiar black leather suit, seamless from head to toe, enveloping his entire body. Only a jet-black mask was visible, exposing just the prominent bridge of his nose, lending him an eerie and ominous presence.
The water level only began to recede at night, leaving the city streets covered in filth. All Parthian defenders guarded the crumbling walls with trepidation, fearing that at any moment, a horde of Roman soldiers might emerge from the darkness.
A brand-new flag representing the Wanbao Tower faction flew side by side with the banner of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, both hoisted at equal heights.
Apis led the charge personally, spearheading the assault. Though middle-aged, his strength was undiminished. With a single spear throw, he pierced the skull of a Parthian infantryman, blood and vile fluids spilling out.
Yet now he had become Tyne, the best shield for Mark and Maria’s escape. To Mark’s surprise, the once timid and trembling Tyne was now a completely different person.
Seeing Wang Hao’s resolute gaze, Qian Tu realized there was no point in arguing further. Reluctantly, he fell silent.
