n“Welcome! Welcome!”

n“Welcome!”

nThe rest of the people couldn’t hold back and quickly joined in, shouting, “Change clothes, change clothes, thermal exchange clothes…”

nTens of thousands of people shouted in unison.

nZhao Yu was a bit overwhelmed since this was the first time he’s seen this many people gathering around for him.

nBut he didn’t show it on his face. Following Da Su’s teachings before leaving, he remained calm, standing still in his place.

n…..

nSoon, Colonel Chu and the others approached, saying in unison, “Mr. Zhao, hello, welcome to Earth…”

nThomas took the lead and stepped forward, extending his right hand for a handshake.

nZhao Yu glanced at him, ignored him, and turned to Colonel Chu, smiling, “Mr. Chu, hello, nice to see you again!”

nUpon hearing this, Colonel Chu quickly stepped forward, exchanging pleasantries while extending his hand.

nThis time, Zhao Yu didn’t refuse and shook hands with him.

nThomas’s face stiffened, and he rubbed his hands together, trying to conceal his awkwardness.

nAlthough he felt extremely displeased, he had to maintain a smile on his face.

nAfter some simple pleasantries between Colonel Chu and Zhao Yu, Colonel Chu spoke up, “Mr. Zhao, this is our 404 Zone, where all the cutting-edge technology of Planet Earth is gathered. Shall 1 take you on a tour?!”

n“Sure!” Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

nColonel Chu promptly extended his hand and said, “Please!”

nAccompanying Zhao Yu were only two robot soldiers, while Colonel Chu had a few influential experts with him.

nThe group began their tour of the 404 Zone.

nThomas involuntarily followed behind the team, hesitant to leave but unable to do so, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

nEspecially when he saw the two robotic warriors behind Zhao Yu, walking with steady and confident strides, he felt bitter in his heart.

nTheir robots here could only operate some weapons, and they weren’t even humanoid.

nOn the other hand, the aliens had already advanced their robot research to such a level!

nWhen they reached the rocket area, the staff began their introduction.

nThe experts accompanying Colonel Chu were constantly observing Zhao Yu’s reactions.

nTo their surprise, after hearing the introduction, Zhao Yu showed no disdain or contempt. On the contrary, he listened with great interest.

nHow surprising!

nThe experts looked puzzled, not quite understanding.

nAfter a while, they finally understood.

nZhao Yu’s reaction wasn’t that of someone looking at advanced technology, but rather, his eyes gleamed as if he had seen some great toys. That was it. The technology on Earth was, to him, like fancy toys you’d see in a store.

nWas the gap between humans and aliens really this wide?!

nColonel Chu had originally planned for the experts to give him some cues, but to his surprise, they were as astonished as if they had lost their memory, absorbed in their own surprise.

nHelpless, Colonel Chu could only force a smile and say, “Mr. Zhao, please don’t mind. We of Earth can only use these rockets to travel to space…”

n“Well, it’s not bad!”

nWhat?!

nColonel Chu was taken aback. That line wasn’t in the script.

nBut the opportunity passed in an instant, leaving him with no time to think. He quickly continued, “Compared to your spaceship, our rockets seem to lack the fiery exhaust, don’t they?!”

nZhao Yu turned his head to glance at the hovering flying saucer and smiled, “It’s maglev propulsion. It works well within the planet, but not so much in space!”

nThis statement contained a great deal of information, bringing joy to Colonel Chu, who eagerly committed it to memory.

nAt the same time, he felt a strong sense of bitterness deep within.

nAs it turned out, the spaceship that they humans wanted so badly were nothing significant to the aliens.

nIndeed, it was of little importance. The essence of the spaceship lay not in its appearance but in its propulsion system, which couldn’t be easily learned in just a few sentences.

nZhao Yu didn’t think much of it. He didn’t anticipate that the people of Earth would take every word he said so seriously. Not even Uncle Da had considered that.

nSeeing Zhao Yu being so talkative, Colonel Chu felt relieved. He was worried that Zhao Yu would maintain the same attitude as during the projection, which wouldn’t make for a pleasant interaction.

nThe group walked leisurely, and Thomas discreetly slipped away for a while.

nWhen they reached the laser weapons area, the staff there casually gave them an introduction.

nColonel Chu found this somewhat puzzling. Wasn’t Thomas supposed to challenge Zhao Yu to compare laser technology?

nTaking advantage of Zhao Yu’s momentary distraction while listening to the staff’s explanation, Colonel Chu turned his head and glanced back.

nThomas was nowhere to be seen. Where had he gone?

nColonel Chu had worried that something might happen, but as they continued through the laser zone, nothing unexpected occurred.

nIt seemed like Colonel Chu understood something deep down. Thomas must have realized the gap and didn’t want to embarrass himself.

nWithout Thomas interfering, Colonel Chu led Zhao Yu on a tour of the entire base, gaining a lot of valuable information.

nAlthough this information was insignificant to Zhao Yu, it could save Earth from getting stuck at developing new technologies.

n“Not bad, not bad. 1 didn’t expect Earth to have such impressive development!” Zhao Yu exclaimed. If he hadn’t visited here, he wouldn’t have known that Earth’s private technology far surpassed the commercial technology used by the public.

nFeeling more at ease now, Zhao Yu was far from the apprehension he had when Blue Star discovered him.

nEven if his identity was exposed, it didn’t matter. If anyone dared to have malicious intentions, he could simply make the Blue Moon descend, leaving people with no resources.

nHowever, extreme measures were most likely unnecessary. For now, he still needed to accumulate technological points by interacting with the people of Earth.

nFollowing Uncle Da’s advice, Zhao Yu decided to make the people of Earth believe that he was an extraterrestrial bound to the Moon from Earth. He presented himself as a representative for negotiations.

n“As long as you’re satisfied!” Colonel Chu smiled and suggested, “Shall we go and eat now? We can chat while we eat.”

nZhao Yu looked around and suddenly asked, “Do you have soup dumplings here?”

n“All?” Colonel Chu was taken aback.

nThe restaurant served exquisite delicacies, the highest quality dishes with various elaborate preparations, flavors, and aromas. But soup dumplings? This seemed out of place.

n“Well, we don’t have that prepared, but if you want, 1 can have someone make them now…” Colonel Chu offered.

n“No need. I don’t expect you to find authentic soup dumplings in this place that is in the middle of nowhere,” Zhao Yu shrugged and said, “Let’s go to Great Xia. 1 want to have some soup dumplings!”

nHe had assumed that Earth would take him in Great Xia, but he never expected to end up in this desolate place.

nAs for how the people of Earth decided to get him to come to this place, he couldn’t care less!

nHe came to Earth to see Great Xia. That was all there was to it.

nColonel Chu was completely astonished. He never anticipated that Zhao Yu would willingly disclose information related to his identity.

nHe felt a bit anxious and cautiously asked, “Mr. Zhao, have you been to Earth before?”

nZhao Yu openly admitted, “1 used to be a citizen of Great Xia, but now, not anymore!”

nJust as expected!

nJust as the experts expected, Zhao Yu was not a native to the Moon. The aliens got him there.

nAnd not only that, during his stay on the Moon, Zhao Yu had successfully climbed to the position of a small leader!

nThis was good news!

nAlthough Zhao Yu’s current position aligned with the extraterrestrials, having that hometown connection might allow them to approach Zhao Yu for sensitive matters.

n“Great, then let’s go to Great Xia for some soup dumplings!” Colonel Chu said joyfully.

nThen he asked, “Should we take a plane?”

n“Let’s take my spaceship!”

nThis time, Uncle Da’s advice to Zhao Yu was to fully display the fleet’s strength.

n…..

nThe stronger the fleet, the higher the technological level, and the safer Zhao Yu would be on Earth.

n“In that case, I’ll trouble you…” Colonel Chu and the others couldn’t hide their excitement. Getting to ride in an extraterrestrial spaceship up close meant they could witness many things.

nTen minutes later.

nOver a hundred warships took off.

nThomas, who had been squatting in the restroom, hurriedly walked out and grabbed a staff member, asking, “Where are they?”

n“They left. The extraterrestrial representative said they wanted to go to Great Xia for soup dumplings and flew away in the spaceship!”

n“What?!”

nThomas was completely dumbfounded!

nHe didn’t think that they would just ditch him out like this..
