Chapter 931: Contact

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ren Baqian returned to the Earth, walked to the window, and looked at the city below.

It had been a good while since he last took a deep breath.

When he was talking to the members of the Temple of Heaven, he wasn’t very nervous.

However, upon returning, the state of utilizing all of his mind subsided, and he began to feel lethargic.

Facing dozens of top experts who could easily take his life with just their fingers while he used words to stir their minds—Ren Baqian really didn’t want to experience this again.

Although he had countless stories from the Earth in his mind, he had to combine these stories together without exposing any gaps in logic. He had to remember almost everything that he said to them in order to not give the game away in the future. This was no easy task.

Fortunately, it seemed pretty successful.

What Ren Baqian was most afraid of was someone getting close to him at the last moment. Although he was dozens of meters away from those honored ones, this distance wasn’t a problem for them.

Not to mention that Wen Xiaosheng was right beside him.

If that happened and they realized that he was from another world, a place without any fighting power, he would really be dead.

Fortunately, this didn’t happen.

At this point, everything that followed would only be logical.

This incident was a daunting experience without any mishaps. Furthermore, it was quite rewarding.

With this group of people, it would be easier to gather all the experts of the human race.

The only problem was… they had killed Deputy Protector General Wu Kai, two lieutenant colonels, and those in the patrol teams.

The empress wouldn’t let this matter pass so easily.

Although the overall situation was important, to her, revenge was more important.

She had always been an unyielding and clear person.

After standing at the window for some time, Ren Baqian took a shower and prepared some things.

At the same time, he learned about the situation on Earth.

Relations between China and the USA had been rather strained lately. In fact, there had always been some friction between the two countries. Ever since China overtook the USA as the largest economic power a few years ago, not only had this friction not decreased, it had also flared up in various domains.

It wasn’t until the emergence of martial arts that attitudes changed among the western countries, the media, and the public.

Many of the USA’s allies hesitated for some time before letting go of their restraint and approaching China on their own. Aside from this, the number of ordinary people applying for immigration had also gradually increased.

However, there had been some changes recently. The USA’s exoskeletal system had reached the point where it could be deployed on the battlefield. Troops were beginning to use them on a small scale.

Simply put, these straightforward alloy exoskeletons were faster, stronger, and more accurate. Combined with artificial intelligence assistance systems and the shallow martial arts that they obtained from China, the military strength of the USA had greatly improved. This was the source of their confidence.

Even some of their allies had begun to change their stances.

Compared to martial arts that were unpredictable, it was easier for these allies to understand and have confidence in things like technology, which they could see, touch, and control.

The news that Ren Baqian received afterward had also proven this point. It was said that some of the Man Wheel level troops in the military had been transferred to that chaotic continent. It seemed that both parties would be having a showdown.

He got his people to monitor the situation over there. At the same time, he prepared his own affairs and even got people to bring him a blonde westerner.

Two and a half days later, he immediately returned to the other world.

Ren Baqian was in his pajamas, sat in a chair, and held a plate of fragrant beef noodles…

He used one foot to touch the box beside him and stepped on a person with the other. As soon as the light in front of him turned black, he was transferred from the towering villa on Earth to the underground hall.

The sudden change in brightness made him temporarily blind.

However, he wasn’t surprised at all. He remained calm in this position until he was gradually able to see the surroundings, then laughed and greeted, “Everyone, we meet again.

In fact, the crowd was more surprised than he was.

With the passage of time, people always felt restless. After all, Ren Baqian disappeared in everybody’s presence, and the entire situation had reversed from them being in control to him being in control.

Although he said that he would return, no one knew when he would.

It wasn’t until the air changed and his silhouette appeared that everyone finally managed to calm down.

After settling down, everyone had mixed feelings when they saw the state that Ren Baqian appeared in.

This was because he was in a very relaxed state. It was as if he had just woken up and was having breakfast at home… Meanwhile, these people were just waiting here anxiously for him to return.

Naturally, he did this intentionally. At times, such gestures could make others sense one’s attitude and make them understand where they stood.

“Since the quantum transmission technology isn’t mature enough, it takes some time to recover. Still, I managed to make it back earlier than I had expected, which explains why I’m in this state.” Ren Baqian laughed.

Although he said that the technology wasn’t mature enough, it was enough to shock, stun, and astonish everyone.

Ren Baqian was someone who vanished into thin air and reappeared. Furthermore, he brought other things back… Looking at the box beside him and the human-like object under his foot, everyone was dumbstruck and felt extreme fervor.

Later, Ren Baqian felt a little frightened. He had forgotten that the space on the shoulder of the statue was limited.

Although it was pretty spacious for one person, it was a blessing that the box and the other person didn’t fall off the statue.

He felt that his luck had been pretty good during this period of time.

“I’m only halfway through my meal—I hope you don’t mind?” Ren Baqian gestured at the crowd with his plate before lowering his head to finish eating the plate of beef noodles and placing the empty plate on top of the statue.

“This is a Valoran native. We didn’t kill them all. Instead, we took in the survivors as part of our own after our victory, and we are now living together. I have brought him as an eye-opener.” Ren Baqian picked up the person who was asleep under his feet and threw him to Wen Xiaosheng.

Wen Xiaosheng took a look at the man and found that he looked similar to humans, but his facial features and hair color were very weird… It was acceptable for him to describe this man as a monster.

He clicked his tongue as this was the first time he had ever seen someone like this.

As for strength, this man was even weaker than an ordinary human and was nothing to pay attention to.

Wen Xiaosheng then threw him to the others. A human body that weighed around 100 kilograms simply flew more than dozens of meters through the air. Everyone seemed to be able to do this skillfully and effortlessly.

After seeing such a strange person, no one had any doubts about Ren Baqian’s words anymore.

“I told you before that two people could communicate directly with each other from thousands of kilometers away…” Ren Baqian opened the box, took out a radio station, and adjusted the frequency after turning it on.

Other than the electric current, no other sounds could be heard. He then started to doubt whether he had adjusted the frequency correctly or whether they were out of range.

How could the chat group of Dayao’s officials be so quiet?

Especially when Ren Baqian was still missing, shouldn’t they be in a frenzy?

“Hi, is anyone there?” He tried speaking into the receiver. At the same time, he kept an eye on the others to see if they would stop him.

Fortunately, everyone watched intently as he spoke to that odd thing.

Ren Baqian turned the volume all the way up and heard a surprised voice say, “Zhao, Zhao Prince Consort?”

Although the sound wasn’t very loud, all of them were seniors with sensitive ears and exceptional eyesight. As they were also in an enclosed space, everyone immediately heard the sound coming out of that weird box, which made their eyes open even wider.

“It’s me!” He laughed.

“Hurry, hurry and inform Her Majesty! Zhao Prince Consort, there’s news about Zhao Prince Consort!” The flustered voice at the other end of the radio could be heard.

“Zhao Prince Consort, where are you? Didn’t you get… captured?”

“Oh, I just came here to chat with people and to talk about life and ideals!” Ren Baqian coughed.

“Zhao Prince Consort, you are okay in the end.” This was the voice of Zhuo Yue, who was from the Protectorate of the Southeast.

“Cough! You almost scared me to death,” said the voice of Li Qianqiu.

“Kid, where are you?” asked the voice of Hong Wu.

“You don’t know that Her Majesty almost went crazy! After creating so much trouble, you won’t be able to escape a beating when you come back!” exclaimed the voice of the old clapper, Tong Zhenye…

The whole chat group suddenly became lively. It was as if they had received red packets!
