CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 25: REALLY DON’T WANT TO GO TO WORK!!!

Li Zhijian had no other thoughts; he was purely there to appease and offer compensation.

Because the Xuan Country side had learned all about it immediately after the incident occurred, they sent a message saying Lin Qianxuan was their man, threatened by local forces in Chao Li Country, and they needed an explanation for this.

When Li Zhijian learned all this, he had just woken up from his mistress’s bed.

The transcendent of Xuan Country was nearly used and threatened by Ni Country’s forces in his territory; if accountability were to be investigated, not to mention him, even his superiors could not withstand it.

The official institutions had turned into a sieve, infiltrated too severely.

He was gravely negligent; this time, there was bound to be a thorough political review from top to bottom.

Now his only way out was with Lin Qianxuan himself.

As long as Lin Qianxuan didn’t say anything, there was still room for maneuver.

If Lin Qianxuan expressed dissatisfaction, the outcome would be different.

Faced with Li Zhijian’s appeasement, Lin Qianxuan anticipated it early on, knowing all this would happen even before the game started.

However, he didn’t plan to engage too much with Li Zhijian.

There was no point in extorting benefits from here; Li Zhijian was just an ordinary person, so, frankly, all he could get was some money or something.

Regarding money, Lin Qianxuan believed that with his current strength, the possibility of lacking money in the future was very low.

So he didn’t plan to accept anything from Li Zhijian to avoid Ni Country’s side thinking he was only after profit.

Although they might see it as a minor flaw, he didn’t need to leave unnecessary blemishes on himself.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Don’t disturb us while we’re eating," Lin Qianxuan vaguely said to Li Zhijian.

"Well, I’ve settled the bill for you two, and here’s my personal gold card. If there’s anything you’d like to purchase, you can use this for buying. I hope you both have a pleasant time," Li Zhijian said.

"No need, take it back," Lin Qianxuan replied.

"You two will eventually have times when you need money, having a card will be convenient..." Li Zhijian said.

Lin Qianxuan stopped speaking, just turned his head and silently glanced at Li Zhijian.

Being looked at by Lin Qianxuan’s wine-red vertical pupils, Li Zhijian shivered all over, wisely retrieved the gold card, cracked a smile, and then got in his car to leave.

Sitting in his car, he suddenly felt his actions were a bit laughable.

How could such a level of transcendents possibly care much about worldly things?

If they wished, with power in their hands, what couldn’t they control?

Chen Long’Er silently watched Lin Qianxuan’s way of handling things and was also contemplating learning these things.

Lin Qianxuan gave Chen Long’Er a smile and said, "There’s no need to overly worry about these as long as your own abilities are strong. Generally, if you don’t provoke others, there won’t be much trouble. Of course, if someone bullies you, there’s no need to hold back. If you can’t beat them, call me; I’ll help you..."

Chen Long’Er nodded, indicating understanding.

Although lacking in understanding interpersonal relationships, Chen Long’Er’s learning ability was strong. Just seeing it a few times lets her know how better to handle things.

She had also learned to haggle before and knew the relevant contexts of usage. With the perception and emotional sensitivity brought by her strong spirit, she managed to bargain so much that the merchant’s expression turned from a grin to a frown.

...

...

Xuan Country, Anjing Otherworld Bureau Headquarters.

One of the deputy directors, Zhang Heng, was looking at Lin Qianxuan’s related information.

"Lin Qianxuan... orphan... multiple donations to the orphanage, grateful and pays back, with quite a sense of social responsibility... This time went traveling, unexpectedly awakened the Dragon Bloodline? Also encountered another girl suspected of having the Dragon Bloodline? Was it after meeting her that he awoke? Why are there two? Is this also caused by influences from rules of another world?"

Zhang Heng’s expression became somewhat complex.

The Dragon Bloodline holds a very special status in Xuan Country.

This thing has existed since ancient times.

It has been the spiritual totem of Xuan Country since the grand unification.

A force born from the collective spirit of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

It randomly descends upon the Xuan Country person most embodying its symbolic will.

However, in ancient times, it wasn’t as exaggerated.

Back then, at most, it could move a tripod with strength.

Though in the cold weapon era, with such strength, wearing armor, one person could indeed chase tens of thousands of troops.

As for now, the transmission of the Dragon Bloodline becoming so strong is entirely because of those "moons" in the sky.

The most bizarre speculation by netizens is actually true.

Those moons are indeed all otherworlds intersecting with their world.

Once these otherworlds form connections with them, correspondingly, the rules of the two worlds influence each other, causing unique changes in the world.

The change in the Dragon Bloodline is the most typical example.

Before the Otherworld Bureau’s reform, back when it was still called the Dragon Group, the initial leader was the possessor of the Dragon Bloodline.

Zhang Heng’s final gaze fell on the image of Lin Qianxuan destroying those dozen warships after transforming into a dragon.

Just awakened, he already possesses such strength; undoubtedly an elite with immense potential.

Moreover, the woman by his side is also suspected of having the Dragon Bloodline. If they could let them in, in due time, who says another two celestial-ranked national pillars couldn’t emerge?

If you still can’t rely on the Dragon Bloodline, what can be relied on?

To obtain the Dragon Bloodline, the primary requisite is a complete inner belonging to Xuan Country and recognition of oneself as the inheritor of the dragon’s legacy.

This is the spiritual totem of Xuan Country, how could one obtain it without single-minded devotion to the country?

He should be worried that the two of them might get seriously wrong, unable to tolerate even a speck of sand in their eyes.

Zhang Heng immediately contacted the relevant personnel through the internal dedicated communication line, starting to issue his orders.

"Xiao Nie, are you free recently?"

"I just returned from the Antarctic Joint Battle Zone and am on vacation. Director Zhang, what do you need me for?"

"In Chao Li Country, two tourists have awakened the Dragon Bloodline. Due to some special reasons, they’ve had some conflict with local forces. Although we’ve pressured them in time, I worry that there might be more trouble later. I hope you can bring them back."

"Dragon Bloodline? Two of them? I’ll go right away..."

"Thanks a lot."

"Just make sure the subsidies are in place."

Ending the call, Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the information he received, Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er seemed to be naively strolling around, completely unconcerned about the trouble they had just caused.

Without thinking, Zhang Heng was sure that spies from other major countries lurking in Chao Li Country must already be trying to contact the two, although persuading them to defect was impossible.

But if they used some underhanded tactics, losing such promising talents would be heartbreaking.

....

....

"Ah, let me feed you."

Chen Long’Er obediently opened her mouth, revealing sharp teeth capable of cutting through steel.

Lin Qianxuan picked up a spoon and fed a spoonful of cake to Chen Long’Er.

"I’ll eat by myself."

Feeling that Lin Qianxuan wasn’t feeding her fast enough, Chen Long’Er took the cake herself and finished it in just three bites.

Lin Qianxuan slightly raised an eyebrow and gave Chen Long’Er a thumbs up.

As expected of her!

They then leaned back on a park bench, quietly watching the river’s flow, enjoying the tranquility.

Lin Qianxuan had prepared many sweet words and little anecdotes.

But at this moment, he couldn’t say any of them.

"Long’Er, it’s great meeting you." Lin Qianxuan said.

"Me too." Chen Long’Er replied.

Lin Qianxuan turned his head, feeling emotional.

Just as he planned to lean in for a kiss, he suddenly saw a figure approaching them.

The person wore an outfit that looked like a combat uniform, with tactical glasses covering half his face and a holster on his waist, clearly containing a real weapon.

This attire looked familiar to Lin Qianxuan because it was exactly like that of Nie Yidong, whom he had seen in a game.

Unlike in the game, Lin Qianxuan now faintly sensed a thread of intimidating aura emanating from Nie Yidong.

If he remembered correctly, according to Xuan Country’s tier judgment, Nie Yidong should be at the Profound Rank Seventh Heaven, while he himself estimated to be at Profound Rank Ninth Heaven or even at Status Level.

Moreover, Lin Qianxuan was quite special, with Dragon Heart bonuses or something.

For Nie Yidong to still pose a threatening aura, undoubtedly meant he was someone capable of surpassing ranks in battle.

"I’ve been looking everywhere for you two." Nie Yidong stood before Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er, slightly bowing to them, and presented his credentials: "Xuan Country Anomaly Event Maintenance and Processing Bureau, Nie Yidong. Here are my credentials. You can verify them on Xuan Country’s official website. Comrade Lin Qianxuan, you both are in quite a dangerous situation. The authority has been made aware of your situation and has specifically sent me to escort you back to Xuan Country immediately."

Lin Qianxuan looked at the credentials, not fully understanding, but the steel seal was quite intimidating. It seemed to have some extraordinary means, and upon seeing it, Lin Qianxuan understood in his heart that this must be authentic credentials from Xuan Country and he didn’t know what kind of means it used.

By entering his credential number, Lin Qianxuan could find Nie Yidong on Xuan Country’s official website, but only a name and a surface-level position, with no deeper information available.

Pretending to confirm the other’s identity, Lin Qianxuan said, "Could I say goodbye to my friends? Rest assured, it won’t take long, just one meeting, they’re in Xugu City, an hour will suffice."

"Of course, I’ll personally drive you there," Nie Yidong said.

Soon, Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er were seated in Nie Yidong’s car.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary black sedan.

But once Lin Qianxuan got in, he realized there was more than met the eye.

The engine’s humming was quite exaggerated, resembling an aircraft engine, and the glass seemed bulletproof, while the metal inside appeared to be a special alloy.

It also had several displays, looking like a vehicle specifically for escorts.

"This is a temporarily deployed escort vehicle from the embassy. It’s decent, but compared to our Otherworld Bureau’s internal vehicles, there’s quite a gap," Nie Yidong said with a glance at Lin Qianxuan’s curious inspection of the vehicle interior while driving. "If Mr. Lin and you join the Otherworld Bureau later, you’d be able to purchase some nice things with points, including travel vehicles. If you’re interested, you could try buying a flying hover car, faster than a typical fighter jet, max speed up to Mach 5, and with your physique, you could easily handle it. Plus, it comes with intelligent driving, no need for a driver’s license, the entire drive is managed by the Human Dao AI system..."

Hearing this, Lin Qianxuan didn’t show much change in expression.

In the game, he already knew that the Xuan Country’s authorities had long mastered technology far ahead of its time through some special extraordinary means.

At least civilian products couldn’t compare at all.

Although mass production couldn’t be achieved, many of the internal things were already provided to Otherworld Bureau personnel and government officials for use.

Nie Yidong said these things simply to pique Lin Qianxuan’s interest and coax him into firmly deciding to join the Otherworld Bureau.

But sorry, Lin Qianxuan was determined not to join.

Not because of anything else.

Merely because....

Going to work is so tiring, and there are life-threatening risks. He really doesn’t want to work!!!
