Chapter 13: Liu Shaoge (2/2)
“Hand me your personal gadget,” said with a smile, and a sluggish Phil passed it over without question.
Not long after, Liu Shaoge closed the gadget and massaged his head, “Now that I’ve taken him off the network, will they find out I’m controlling him? Hmm… Forget it,” he put on the watch and smiled, staring knowingly into the skies.
……
Two days later, Lu Yin’s troops finally approached the frontlines. Had they not been forced to repair communication lines along the way, they would have arrived already. Those two days had been spent idly staring at the moon, something that made Luo Yi think that he was a fool.
The fleet suddenly stopped and Xu San looked towards him, “Something’s wrong, Boss. We haven’t seen any survivors since yesterday, and there should be soldiers patrolling nearby.”
“Have the troops rest,” Lu Yin got up and stared into the distance, heading away from the army and taking out his wristwatch. He started the scanner and slowly extended its range. One kilometer, two kilometers, ten… He soon screened out everything below the Sentinel realm and kept going until he finally found someone 37 kilometers away. His expression sank as he saw the combat level: 2200. When he checked his map, he saw an abandoned town that was less than 20 kilometers from the frontlines. This was right on their path.
Having the troops hunker down, Lu Yin headed north on his own. He needed to know if this Sentinel was a person or a mutant beast, but that question was answered less than ten kilometers into the journey. Ahead of him was a squadron of cultivators, which meant that this abandoned town had been turned into an assembly ground. The Sentinel he had detected was undoubtedly one of the students who had descended upon Earth. Muttering to himself for a while, he enabled the location tracker on Vesta’s watch once more.
The moment the tracker was reactivated, a girl in white armor with waist-length hair suddenly popped up more than a dozen kilometers away. She looked at her own watch and snorted, flying south. Not long after, she was in the skies glaring coldly towards Lu Yin, “This region has been marked blue, please leave.”
Lu Yin’s eyes gleamed at the sight of the pretty girl, “Good day! I’m Yatar from the First Military School of the Pagoda Planet.”
“I’m not interested, leave now,” the girl replied coldly, energy rippling around her as she directed her strength downwards.
“Wait, don’t be hasty!” Lu Yin replied, “I’m injured right now, not a threat. I can give you resources, a lot of resources.”
Her gaze remained cold, “You’re Just a Seeker, and you dare to participate in a planetary trial? How did you get in?”
“My grandfather is the headmaster,” Lu Yin answered with a proud tone.
“Ugh, scram!” the girl was clearly getting annoyed.
Lu Yin immediately retrieved several fire crystals from his cosmic ring and tossed them over, “Help me survive this, and I’ll give you a whole basket of these crystals.”
The girl grabbed the crystals nonchalantly, but was shocked at the heat they were radiating. She finally descended, “Where did you get these?”
“My grandfather, of course. He’s an Explorer, he can get as many as he wants.”
The girl’s eyes finally gleamed as well, making a fist as she started emanating bloodlust. Lu Yin immediately retreated and glared, “Don’t you dare mess around. No one can interfere in the evolution, but they can look up who lived, who died, and who killed who later. You don’t want my grandfather coming after you!”
The girl thought about it and relaxed her hand, “I can help you get out of this planet alive, but I’ll have nothing to do with your results.”
