Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the face of the serious attitude of the US military officer, Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally and did not say anything else. However, when he looked at the steel machine that was constantly swinging thousands of robotic arms in the distance, an uneasy gaze could be seen in his eyes.
Forty minutes later, the battleship was docked at the New York military base. Due to the reason that Joss’ adjutant was waiting at the harbor, the young man had no choice but to see the base commander and Captain Alansol, who was sent by the Atlantis to be stationed at the military base.
Pretending to be exhausted, the young man explained the matter of the Shrimp World No. 2 exploration and promised to submit a written report on Wizard Li in within one month. After a long span of nonsense, Zhang Lisheng finally removed himself from the New York military base and at this time, it was already late at night.
In the late autumn, the weather under the smooth moonlight had become somewhat cold. Other than LS Group’s factory, Lisheng, who had nowhere else to go in New York, took a hot bath and stood beside the glass wall. Pushing open a nearly invisible window, he breathed in the cold air and tried to dial a familiar number.
“Beep beep...” As expected, his mother and girlfriend’s cell phones were busy. Charlie’s phone, on the other hand, was quickly connected but the one taking the call was his secretary. “Dr., Mr. Charlie has been in Noah for the last two weeks for a business trip in the three new oases in New California. I’ll inform him the news of you returning to New York as soon as possible.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll go to Noah World soon so I’ll contact him by myself when I go there. Goodbye,” Since Zhang Lisheng did not have any luck in this matter, he hung up the phone in low spirits. After a moment of hesitation, he sent a text out and after that, threw his phone on the desk before walking to the middle of the red cashmere carpet and sitting on the floor. Slowly. He closed his eyes.
Not long after, under the illumination of the dark moonlight, the young man’s deep and slow breathing slowly became short and fast. As he breathed in rhythmically, the distant coastal water, wild grass and green trees within ten kilometers of vicinity in the desert, gradually began to ripple and sway according to the rhythm in the faintest manner.
He became oblivious during his cultivation. Time rapidly passed by and in just a twinkling of an eye, the moon sank to the sea level, while rising sun began to radiate bright light.
When the sun shone through the glass wall onto Zhang Lisheng’s face, the young man blinked and stood up. He strode to the refrigerator and took out a can of iced Coke before opening it with a loud ‘pop’. After tasting a mouthful and realized that it had become tasteless, he smiled wryly and threw it into the trash.
The instant his aluminum can was thrown out, the door of his office was pushed open. A beautiful woman with a slender and seductive body, an attractive face, and intelligent-looking manner strode in.
“Good morning, Maddie. It’s a good thing that you’re in New York. oh...” Upon seeing the beautiful lady dressed in a tailored and exquisite royal blue suit entering the office and kept coming to himself, Zhang Lisheng shrugged as he said. However, before he could finish his words, his mouth was already blocked tightly by warm lips.
One was passive while the other was voluntary. After both of them kissed for a while, Maddie suddenly released the young man and asked, “Why is your lips so cold? W-What’s wrong with you, Lisheng?”
“My body is ‘dead’ now.” Zhang Lisheng seized this opportunity to push the girl away. “This is like the checkpoint for my cultivation, the checkpoint for me to be resurrected after I’ve ‘died’. After I make a breakthrough, I’ll become...”
“Omnipotent like Jesus?” the beautiful woman interrupted the young man’s words, with her eyes widened and her thoughts floating through her mind.
In the eyes of the Westerners, the most famous person who died and resurrected again was none other than Jesus who made the New Testament with all beings. It was not surprising that Maddie knew such things but when Zhang Lisheng recalled the description of the Son of God in the Bible, he shook his head and said, “After Resurrection, my power should indeed be greatly improved but not to the point of omnipotent. Alright, Maddie, mythical stories are purely imagination and will not be of any help to us. Let’s get down to business. Oh yeah, I have a translating device that the Atlanteans use so tell me, are there any imitations on the market now? ”
“Yes, Lisheng. It’s not only imitations, you also know that the Atlanteans have another civil fleet that arrived on Earth two months ago?” When Maddie saw the young man took down all the almost transparent ear plugs, braces, lenses, she also took out the same things from her eyes, ears and teeth. “There are a few businessmen there who master the manufacturing technology of this translating device. They have worked intensively with Logitech, IBM, and HUAWEI and have launched exactly the same products as yours. Many sociologists have predicted that once this kind of translating device becomes popular, it would be equal to having all languages on Earth unified. By that time, the boundaries between countries will gradually blur...”
“I don’t believe in the bright future fantasized by the sociologists,” Zhang Lisheng took the translating device from the girl in delight and compared the two. “However, this kind of translating device is indeed a ‘weapon’ that can catalyze civilization. It’s great that it’s available on the market now. Get me 10,000 of this.”
“This translating device has just been launched so it’s still a luxury item. It costs 12,000 dollars per set and 10,000 sets will be 120 million dollars. With such a large amount of money, I’d need a signature from you!” Maddie did not ask the young man why he wanted to buy so many translating devices and just walked up straight to the desk to open the computer. As she was typing out a letter, she informed him.
“Use the money in my private account to buy. I’ll transfer the money to you later. Don’t be too obvious. Get it all for me in within 40 days. Oh yeah, don’t forget to fill in all the physics and natural science knowledge that is available, except for sociology, into one of the translating devices.”
“Are you going to set off a ‘wisdom storm’ in the brain of your native believers in the foreign world, baby?” Maddie was stunned for a while. Looking at Zhang Lisheng’s faint proud expression, she suddenly asked.
“Isn’t knowledge equal to power?” The young man did not answer the question directly. He just smiled and said, “Let’s go, let’s go have a stroll in the city. After spending such a long time in the foreign world’s jungle, I kinda miss the high-rise buildings in Manhattan a lot now.”
“I don’t think you miss the high-rise buildings in New York but you want to see what changes have been made to the most prosperous economic center on the planet now that more and more Atlanteans are coming to the Earth, right?” Maddie walked up to Zhang Lisheng and took his arm. Smiling, she said, “You better be mentally prepared. I bet you’ll be very surprised.”
“Then I’ll be looking forward to it,” When the young man saw that the girl had guessed his thoughts for the second time, he said with a smile. Even though he was mentally prepared, in the next few days, all sorts of strange things still took him by surprise.
The street fashion most popular among the young people had now had a touch of strong Atlantis elements. Fair skin had beaten the healthy wheat-colored skin to become the fashion element. If they could not make their skin fairer, then they would dye their hair red. In private schools, be it secondary schools or universities, elective courses about the history of ‘Atlantis’ had appeared and the number of students enrolled in it was incredible. The Atlanteans, who were generally beautiful, appeared in films and variety shows, becoming outstanding figures — the stars among the stars — and had an appeal even bigger than Elvis Aron Presley. After more than a year of ‘incubation period’, the new instruments created from the design ideas provided by the Atlantis civilization emerged one after another. The household appliance was showing a trend of entering the era of light energy. In short, the Earthlings’ lives had been changing greatly unconsciously, the imprint of Atlantis was deeply visible.
All of this made Zhang Lisheng become even more vigilant. However, Earth was not the Hellfire sea region and there was nothing he could do within his power. The only thing he could do was to choose to not see these things and flew to Feren City in New Mexico on civilian flight so that he could cross the wilderness and go to New York.
However, when he came to the Oasis foreign world, he realized that the Atlantis’ element here was more exaggerated than on Earth. Sitting on the jeep that was built based on the extended US military desert transporter, he came to the border of the New Washington A along the flow of traffic.
Zhang Lisheng rolled down his window and looked up at the hundreds of light balls in the air that were brighter than the sun. After a few minutes of silence, he asked, “Hayde, are there so many Atlanteans flying using the light energy in the air above New Washington A everyday?”
“Yes, Dr.,” Hayde, who was driving the car, nodded profusely.
“They’re so unscrupulous in Noah but so cautious in Shrimp World No. 2...” the young man muttered and entered a deep ponderation.
At this time, a light ball flying in the sky suddenly fell down rapidly. When it was about one to two meter near the ground, it abruptly stopped falling with a gush of wind and hovered to slip into the window to the back seat of the jeep, like a swimming fish.
“Trish, I didn’t expect it to be you who came flying to see me after I made a call to Tina... Oh, I haven’t seen you in a few months and your control over the power of light stone is better than the average Atlanteans. This is incredible! It seems like the law of biology stating that ‘mixed-blood creature’ is generally better than ‘pure-blood creature’ can be applied to the entire universe as well.” After snapping back to reality, Zhang Lisheng turned his head to look at the beautiful redheaded girl behind his seat and said in bafflement.
“I’ll take your last sentence as a compliment.” Trish, whose skin had become unusually white and delicate, with her hair becoming more lustrous than before and had become very similar to the Atlanteans, looked at the young man and smiled charmingly. “Tina had a last minute task of attending to the guest merchants from China. I just so happened to be on a break today so she asked me to pick you up.”
“Business merchants from China?” Zhang Lisheng was stunned. “Does Noah World allow foreigners to come?”
“In the entire world, only the US and China have a foreign world that are without masters and terrible creatures. Since the pressure exerted by other countries is too great, in order to not be completely isolated by the international community, these two countries have no choice but to gradually open Noah and Kunlun to all mankind. And their first step is of course to open their own foreign worlds to each other first.”
