456 Lunardo and Tejano (3)
In the virtual chamber.
Xu Jingming stood alone and learned everything through the Primordial Battle Armor’s surveillance.
“All countries on Earth are urgently discussing this unexpected event,” the Primordial Battle Armor’s AI said. Surveillance images appeared in midair—they were all scenes of emergency meetings between countries.
Xu Jingming watched these scenes and could sense the fear and unease of the countries. His eyes turned colder. When you’re weak, you can only hope that others will be kind and not bully you. Only by being strong can others not dare to bully us.
Earth is still too weak. I’m still too weak. Xu Jingming thought to himself.
“Master, are you going to Primordial City?” the Primordial Battle Armor’s AI asked.
“Yes.” Xu Jingming nodded.
Many large factions in Primordial City invested in him, especially a genius like Xu Jingming from the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage. The probability of him becoming an Origin lifeform was too high, and those large factions were willing to make an early investment in him.
If he accepted an investment, he could seek their help! Their credibility over the years was trustworthy, but after becoming an Origin lifeform, Xu Jingming also needed to ‘return the favor.’
I originally wanted to avoid trouble before becoming an Origin lifeform so that I wouldn’t need to accept the investments of Primordial City’s factions. After all, I’ll need to return the benefits reaped in the future, Xu Jingming thought. But clearly, it’s difficult for people not to be involved in trouble.
“With your potential, those investment factions will probably make a killing, Master,” the Primordial Battle Armor AI said.
Xu Jingming immediately wanted to enter the virtual world.
Suddenly—
Huh? Xu Jingming suddenly received a call. Tejano?
…
In his personal space in the virtual world.
Xu Jingming stood in the hall and watched Tejano walk over from the void.
“Tejano.” Xu Jingming’s eyes had a smiling look.
“How can you still smile?” Tejano helplessly walked to the sofa and sat down, casually pouring himself a glass of wine. “Lunardo is very petty. He said that he would cut you some slack on my account, but it’s impossible for him to do nothing. With his character, he will definitely seek revenge as long as he lives.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
Tejano said, “However, such a member of the royal family values his reputation very much! Since he promised me, he probably won’t seek revenge on you. However, he might vent his anger on Earth. Moreover, he will do things secretly and won’t leave any evidence behind.”
Tejano knew the style of some arrogant royal scions.
“Yes. Before he left, he even said that Earth’s civilization was despicable.”
Tejano nodded. “That’s within my expectations; that’s Lunardo’s character! And that’s only now. Once his brother takes another step forward and inherits the throne of the Primestar civilization… As the emperor of one of the three advanced civilizations in the universe, his authority will be ten or a hundred times greater than now.”
Xu Jingming was helpless.
“Oh right.” Tejano gazed at Xu Jingming with anticipation in his eyes. “You dared to reject him because… you were selected by one of the 17 top factions during the mysterious land’s selection?”
“Haha, you don’t have to say anything.” Tejano smiled. “Regardless of whether you have any other means, since I’ve interfered in this matter, leave it to me.”
Xu Jingming nodded. “Tejano, thank you.”
After doing a little research, he understood that even being an official member of the Primordial Research Institute was nothing to Tejano, much less a peripheral member.
Tejano helped him because he really treated him as a friend!
“You didn’t even prepare a bottle of good wine to thank me.” Tejano took a sip of the wine and grimaced. “You’re too thrifty; you don’t even buy some good wine in the virtual world.”
“We are a weak civilization, so we naturally have to be frugal. However, I guess I’ll need to grit my teeth and be generous today.” Xu Jingming tapped his finger gently and bought a bottle of good wine before personally pouring Tejano a drink.
“That’s more like it.”
Tejano lay there comfortably, holding a wine glass and tasting the wine. He also began to think of a solution. “I have to get the think tanks to come up with a solution. I can’t predict how Lunardo will take revenge. There’s nothing I can do about it; my educational level is still low.”
“Thankfully, I have a group of smart people with high educational backgrounds.” Tejano thought for a moment before grabbing the wine Xu Jingming had just bought and leaving with the wine bottle. “I have to settle your matter immediately. I’ll make a move first; I’ll take the wine with me.”
Whoosh.
Tejano carried the wine bottle and disappeared from his personal space.
Xu Jingming held his cup. He only had one glass left of the precious wine.
“Tejano, my friend, thank you.” Xu Jingming smiled and raised his glass to take a sip.
