Chapter 342 193: Searching for Humanity's Ancestor?
[Study hard, I'll pick you up after school.]— Lu Xun.
[Okay, got it! By the way... bro, are you really not in a relationship? I'm starting to doubt it.]— Xie Manyu.
Lu Xun looked at the reply from his sister on the communication device and was immediately dumbfounded.
In a relationship?
What's this about?
[Of course not, why are you asking?]— he typed back inquiringly.
[Because just two classes into my first day, 14 girls from different classes and grades asked me to deliver love letters to you! [Angry]]— Xie Manyu.
After a few seconds, she typed another line, interrogating her brother with her words—
[You're truly the dream prince of all the girls at school, with so many delicate, gentle, beautiful girls infatuated with you. Must feel great, huh? Can you really resist them? Come on, confess, I don't want a random sister-in-law! Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. Even if you are in a relationship, I won't tell mom and dad. [Smile]]
Lu Xun: "..."
Only 14? Seems like I haven't been active at school recently, my influence might be declining. He couldn't help but reflect seriously.
If I participate in more speeches, campus events, my popularity would definitely shoot up.
[Feel great? You misunderstood, your brother feels great openly! Don't throw away the love letters, I'll take them home after school, and after graduation, I can look at them from time to time and relish them, it'll be interesting. [Proud]]— Lu Xun replied with a smirk.
[???]— Xie Manyu.
She was so angry her teeth itched, this brother of hers was just shameless, with skin as thick as a wall.
But it also indirectly confirmed one thing.
That her brother wasn't actually interested in these young girls, and saw their pursuits as just harmless fun.
And indeed.
Lu Xun had lived two lifetimes, his mental age wasn't young, he wasn't a beast to have thoughts about underage girls.
Previously, he was busy making money to treat his uncle, no time for other things.
Now he's busy earning Trait Points, controlling 186 puppets exploring the world, no energy left for relationship games.
[Not chatting anymore, I'm heading out, see you after school.]— he replied to Xie Manyu and then put away the communication device.
Lu Xun came to school today mainly to help his sister get familiar with the new environment.
Coincidentally, the entire senior class 4 had a week off, and he had no plans for self-study, so he left school, planning to roam around the city.
During this time, Jinghai City had almost been emptied by him, even the City Defense Iron Guard's armory had been quietly scavenged under Xi's cover. Various weapons, prosthetic bodies, mechas, combat flying discs, aircraft… he had analyzed them all.
The whole city had no Trait Points left for him to earn.
…Though he hadn't analyzed the "Giant Hero" yet.
This Emperor-level strategic mecha of Jinghai could probably still provide seventy million Trait Points.
Unfortunately, the Giant Hero's body is deeply buried underground, and only the Commander-in-Chief can access it, even Xi doesn't have the authority.
Unless Lu Xun goes in forcefully, he can only wait and see for now.
But he's not in a hurry.
Because the location of his next opportunity is inside the Giant Hero's body, he's bound to go in a few days.
Those seventy million Trait Points aren't going anywhere.
Beep beep~ beep beep~
Just as he left the school gate, the communication device suddenly rang again.
Lu Xun saw the caller ID, it was Ding Xuezhu, so he pressed the answer button—
"Sister Ding, do you need something?"
"I do have something very, very important, there's a big business opportunity for Treasure Pavilion. Xiao Lu, are you free now?" A familiar female voice came from the other end.
"Yeah, I'm free." Lu Xun looked at the time and answered.
"Then come over to the shop, it's hard to explain over the phone, let's talk in person, I'll treat you to lunch afterward."
"No need for lunch, I have to pick up my sister from school at noon." He laughed, "Hold on for a bit, Sister Ding, I'm on my way."
"Okay, great."
...
After hanging up, Xi drove Lu Xun to the district where Treasure Pavilion was located.
Soon they arrived at their destination.
Upon entering the building, a secretary immediately greeted them: "Mr. Lu, you're here? President Ding is waiting for you in her office."
"Alright."
Lu Xun nodded and followed the secretary upstairs.
At the office door, the secretary opened it for him and stayed outside.
He walked in, the door closing gently behind him.
In the office was only Ding Xuezhu, sitting gracefully by the desk, her long legs crossed, donning a white professional outfit, looking exquisite, as always mature and elegant, beautiful and composed, full of intellectual charm.
"Come over, Xiao Lu." She eagerly beckoned to Lu Xun, her eyes shining with excitement, "This business opportunity is extremely limited, I managed to get you a spot… Of course, it's up to you if you want to take it, have a look first."
"Alright."
Lu Xun nodded, reaching out to take the documents she handed over.
Soon, he finished reading all the materials, understanding the situation.
It turned out that a very famous super biotechnology group in the Human Federation was seeking cooperation with Treasure Pavilion to explore mysterious ancient ruins.
The project's scale was enormously massive!
Just the initial investment amounted to a staggering over 400 billion Federation currency, and besides powerful capital, the project was even backed by the Human Alliance Government.
