Chapter 418 243. Full-scale Assault on Human Cities_2
Bai Xue chose to suffer a loss herself rather than displease Lin Zichen.
It was best to steer clear of such vindictive and ruthless individuals.
Elsewhere.
Shen Qinghan hesitated briefly before gathering the courage to step forward and show concern for Luo Qianxue. Looking at her arm, she asked:
"That... are you sure your hand is okay?"
In the fierce confrontation with Liu Xinyi and Gao Jianying, Luo Qianxue's arms had been bashed until the skin broke and flesh burst, appearing gravely injured.
Shen Qinghan winced just looking at it.
Facing Shen Qinghan's concern, Luo Qianxue replied in a cold voice:
"It's fine, it will heal soon."
Right after she spoke, a mysterious white substance quickly secreted itself on the surface of Luo Qianxue's injured arms.
It looked like fresh milk.
But it smelled rather unpleasant.
In the moment this white substance appeared.
The wounds on Luo Qianxue's arms instantly healed, reverting as if new.
There wasn't even a trace of injury left to see.
Seeing this, Shen Qinghan couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, utterly astonished.
She and Lin Zichen both possessed the Rapid Self-Healing ability of Living Dead Slugs.
No matter how severe the injury, as long as they had sufficient energy, they could quickly repair themselves.
Returning to the state before the injury.
But the speed of self-healing couldn't compare to what she just witnessed from Luo Qianxue.
It was not on the same level at all.
The white substance that Luo Qianxue secreted... Shen Qinghan stared at the white material on Luo Qianxue's hands, full of curiosity.
Your next chapter is on empire
She remembered clearly that one of the reasons Luo Qianxue was ostracized at school was not only due to her distinctive white hair but also because her body secreted an unpleasant-smelling mysterious white substance.
On the other side.
Seeing Shen Qinghan constantly staring at the white secretion on her hands, Luo Qianxue's slender eyebrows knitted slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
She assumed Shen Qinghan was staring because of the unpleasant smell.
Because of this, she quickly turned around and left without lingering.
Shen Qinghan wanted to call out to her but didn't know how to, and could only watch as she walked away.
At the same time.
Lin Zichen no longer paid attention to the three, who had completely passed out, and turned to walk slowly towards Fu Zhou nearby.
Seeing this, Fu Zhou immediately panicked.
He hadn't spoken from beginning to end, had not offended Lin Zichen, and logically should have no reason to fear Lin Zichen.
But when Lin Zichen approached him, he couldn't help but feel afraid.
It wasn't that he was cowardly.
Instead, it was because Lin Zichen had been too brutal while beating the three.
And brutal people generally aren't rational, are quick to anger, and likely to displace their anger, causing harm to the innocent.
As Lin Zichen came closer, Fu Zhou was so nervous that sweat soaked his back and his legs uncontrollably weakened. He quickly spoke out to dissociate himself from the three:
"I'm not with them!"
"I know."
Lin Zichen replied indifferently.
You know and still head in my direction?
Are you planning not to spare even a bystander?
Damn it, you beast!
Fu Zhou cursed inwardly, his face dripping with cold sweat, scared of being beaten.
"I just wanted to ask if you can take us along when you go out of the city for training in the future?"
Lin Zichen stopped in front of Fu Zhou and asked very kindly.
Fu Zhou was momentarily stunned.
What?
So you're looking for a mentor for the newbies?
That gave me a scare...
Fu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, then smilingly said: "Of course, it would be my honor."
He wasn't trying to flatter but genuinely felt honored to take Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan out for training.
Consider this: Lin Zichen was only 19 years old and had just joined the team of Alien Human Level Geniuses.
Moreover, he hadn't enjoyed any resources from the Origin Land.
Yet, still, Lin Zichen managed to thrash Xia Liu, who ranked third in strength in the team, ruthlessly rubbing him on the ground.
What did this mean?
It meant that Lin Zichen was destined to become one of Earth's strongest Earthlings, likely to evolve into a Legendary Level Creature, and even be top-tier among them.
Now, having the opportunity to take him out for training and to foster good relations, this was truly an opportunity too good to miss; he could wake up laughing from his sleep at night.
"How should I address you?"
Seeing that the other party had readily agreed, Lin Zichen also asked with a light smile.
He still didn't know Fu Zhou's name because Fu Zhou hadn't introduced himself, and Lan Tianbai hadn't introduced him either.
"My name is Fu Zhou, 'Fu' as in bus driver, and 'Zhou' as in Jiuzhou. I'm only five years older than you, you can just call me Fu Zhou."
Fu Zhou introduced himself with an unwavering smile.
He rarely smiled, usually presenting himself with a relatively aloof demeanor.
After all, being a genius from a young age, it was quite normal to be a bit aloof.
But at this moment, facing Lin Zichen, whose evolutionary talent was astonishingly unique, he couldn't maintain any aloofness; he only wanted to act like a younger brother and keep smiling.
"So, it's Brother Zhou. If Brother Zhou plans to leave the city to gain experience someday, please take the two of us with you," Lin Zichen responded with a smile.
Though the other had said it was fine to just call him by his name, he politely added 'brother,' being very amiable to others.
Hearing "Brother Zhou," Fu Zhou felt a burst of surprise.
Having just seen Lin Zichen beat up the three from the Xia family, and with such heavy hands, he had subconsciously thought that Lin Zichen might be difficult to get along with.
But now, it seemed he might have misunderstood.
Lin Zichen's personality did not seem hard to get along with.
And he was quite polite.
Not as arrogant as he had imagined.
Thinking this, in order to please Lin Zichen, Fu Zhou started flattering with a smile, "Speaking of which, Zichen, you are incredibly handsome, truly capable of overturning nations and cities, causing fish to sink and geese to fall, making the moon shy and flowers blush, you make others feel inferior upon seeing you."
Overturning nations and cities?
Causing fish to sink and geese to fall?
Making the moon shy and flowers blush?
Are these idioms used like this?
Lin Zichen was baffled, feeling somewhat at a loss, not understanding in what state of mind Fu Zhou had uttered these words.
Shen Qinghan, who had just approached, was equally perplexed, wondering if Fu Zhou was being sarcastic.
"You two seem to get along well. I had previously heard Lord Ye say that in a while, a couple would join the team; I suppose that must be you two, right?"
Fu Zhou asked cheerfully.
Lin Zichen nodded, "Yes, that's us."
After receiving a positive response,
Fu Zhou became more relaxed and, including Shen Qinghan, praised profusely, "Tsk tsk, Qinghan is as good-looking as you, both of you are tall and handsome, elegant and dashing, you really are a perfect match."
Tall and handsome?
Elegant and dashing?
Bearing a romantic and roguish charm?
Using these three idioms to compliment a woman?
Was it intentional, or a slip?
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were truly puzzled, unable to determine whether Fu Zhou didn't understand the meanings of these idioms or was being sarcastic.
In the end, Shen Qinghan couldn't hold back, her voice timidly saying, "Um... Brother Zhou, you seem to have used the idioms incorrectly."
" 'Overturning nations and cities,' 'causing fish to sink and geese to fall,' 'making the moon shy and flowers blush,' these are for complimenting women,"
" 'Tall and handsome,' 'elegant and dashing,' 'bearing a romantic and roguish charm,' these are for complimenting men."
"..."
"Ah, it's all the same, all meant to say someone is good-looking, don't mind these minor details."
After finishing, Fu Zhou added, "I wasn't even old enough for kindergarten when I was sent here to the Origin Land for training; I haven't read much; many idioms I know only superficially, using them incorrectly is normal, don't take it too seriously."
"I can understand."
Lin Zichen smiled.
He truly understood, and wasn't just agreeing for the sake of conversation.
In a desolate place like the Origin Land, where there were no mobile phones or computers, it was hard to come into contact with educational content.
Growing up in such a place, if one didn't spend time learning cultural knowledge, becoming illiterate was nothing unusual.
...
In a gloomy palace,
a man enveloped in dark mist sat high on a pitch-black throne.
Below him, a slender woman also surrounded by dark mist spoke lifelessly: "After several attempts, the Domain Power of Earth has become very weak.
Should we build a new channel?
The higher-ups denied.
To build a new channel, it would take a long while before it could accommodate Legendary Level Experts.
"Let's start sieging the city right away, first probe, then gradually deepen."
Release the information about that relic to attract Earth's strong ones.
Then we'll attack the city."
