Chapter 262 - Strangers (2/2)

The stranger smiled and said, “When are we having dinner? I haven’t eaten in five days.”

Zhao Pingfan thought about it and said, “Come with me. I’ll take you to the canteen.”

Although Zhao Pingfan was confused, he did not ask any more questions. After entering the cabin, he secretly asked someone to investigate this person’s background.

He led the stranger to the canteen and saw Wei Huo, Ma Tengyun, and the three Legendary creatures of the demon race. Zhao Pingfan’s heart skipped a beat. The leader was here to inspect things.

After all, although it had been a few days, he had yet to achieve anything. The inability of Rare-ranked creatures to control their own weapons was a problem that could not be solved. Even if they were given a cannon, it would be useless if they could not control it.

Wei Huo’s golden eyes scanned the stranger. He then retracted his gaze and did not say anything.

The stranger smiled faintly and did not say anything either.

The others did not notice the short exchange between Wei Huo and the stranger. Ma Tengyun only asked Zhao Pingfan, “Pingfan, how’s the research on the biological armor going?”

Zhao Pingfan was a little helpless. He had indeed come to inspect his work. He had mentioned his problem and wanted to hear if there was any solution for Legendary creatures.

However, he had overestimated the Legendary stage. As the saying goes, there are specializations in every field. Although the Legendary stage was strong, one might not understand scientific knowledge at that stage.

Wei Huo had another identity. He was a Battle Scientist. That was his player occupation. He also had a Skill Tree. Besides, Wei Huo knew a lot about technology.

He did not say much. He only wrote a formula for Zhao Pingfan.

Zhao Pingfan’s eyes widened when he saw the formula. He then mumbled, “This formula is so beautiful!”

The formula that Wei Huo had written for him had been obtained from the Machine Empire on the sixth level of Kunlun Mountain. However, he had not obtained much. The golden armor had obtained the most. Unfortunately, he did not know where the golden armor had gone. He did not know where Xiao Qian had gone either. Perhaps something had happened while he had been in seclusion.

Zhao Pingfan was intoxicated by the formula. He looked as stunned as if he had seen a naked beauty.

The stranger behind him took his plate and went to get food. He was supposed to swipe his card to get food, but a few important people had suddenly appeared in the canteen. The staff member could not pay attention to him and could only call him over.

The stranger held the plate and said, “I missed this. I haven’t eaten such food in hundreds of years.”

As soon as this person spoke, Ma Tengyun and the other Legendary creatures looked over. Ma Tengyun frowned as if he had thought of something. However, he shook his head moments later.

The three Legendary demons looked at the stranger in shock. They had long felt that this person was extraordinary. When they had first entered this place, this person had looked calm. Other people might not be afraid when they saw a Legendary creature, but they always felt nervous. It was just like when a leader came to inspect. Normal people would be at a loss.

However, this person was different. He was too calm.

“Is this person from the human race?” the Legendary Golden Eagle asked Ma Tengyun.

Ma Tengyun frowned again. “He doesn’t have any characteristics of the demon race. He should be a human. However, I’ve never seen him before.”
