Chapter 22 - Just This?

Chapter 22 Just This?

“Old fogey, those things of yours are already outdated!” Even Li Wenyuan was temporarily stunned by the young man’s extremely arrogant and confident attitude.

“Could it be that he really has a powerful trump card that can’t be detected? For example, a super bomb that can blow up the entire solar system?”

He couldn’t help but think so, and his gaze on the young man became much more cautious.

Seeing the Administrator in such a state, the young man became even more confident, and his every move was filled with the air of a superior.

“I knew you were bluffing. Otherwise, why would the life force detector that important figure gave me not have any reaction? You should know that it can even detect cosmic lifeforms that devour planets. Why are you the only one exempt?

“This situation means that either your life force is strong enough to shuttle through the stars freely, or you are just an outrageously weak ant!

“It’s obvious that you’re not the former. Life forms that have reached that level all exist in the form of pure energy without exception!”

The young man talked big in front of everyone, as if showing off his knowledge could give him a great sense of vanity.

Li Wenyuan also heard some additional information from his words.

“Is there still such a life form? The universe is really full of wonders. In addition… ‘That important figure’?”

His eyes flickered as he stared at the young man who was still talking nonsense. He quietly pointed one of the cannons of the Tiangang Battleship at this position.

If necessary, he would give up on this group of experts and nip the threat in its bud.

“I’ve miscalculated a little. I shouldn’t come out so openly next time… It’s good to be the mastermind behind the scenes.” Li Wenyuan was already slightly regretful.

After a long period of observation and scanning, he was absolutely sure that this group of aliens did not have any ability that could threaten him, which was why he took the initiative to talk to them about cooperation.

But what if this young man really had a bomb that could destroy the solar system?

All in all, Li Wenyuan was on high alert. Once this alien made a move, he would turn everything here into dust with his huge cannon.

“That’s enough, Hu Si!” At this moment, Cooper couldn’t hold it in any longer. He pointed at the young man named Hu Si and scolded, “Who gave you such courage? Did you forget how our spaceship went out of control? You’re that confident that your lousy device will work?”

“Shut up!” Hu Si suddenly glared at Cooper as if he was looking at an enemy.

“Do you think you’re worthy of insulting that important figure? I’ve long been unable to stand your self-righteous appearance!”

“You Laborns are a trash civilization that has just left the world of natives, and you, along with your trash race, are worthy of being in the same school as me? Just the color of your body makes me sick!”

“You!” Cooper was so angry that he almost couldn’t say a word. He had never thought that this was the reason Hu Si disliked him.

“I’m telling you! No matter how hard a person from a trash civilization works, it’s impossible for them to catch up to someone from a higher civilization like me!”

As he said that, Hu Si looked coldly at the expressionless Li Wenyuan and revealed a greedy expression.

“And you, old fogey, I’m very interested in your technology to control this battleship. If you beg me to accept this technology and let me become the master of this battleship, I may consider making you my slave and give you the glory of witnessing the conquest of the Milky Way with me!

Li Wenyuan wasn’t angered by his arrogant words. Instead, he thought to himself, “Did he take a fancy to the Tiangang Battleship? As expected, good things are welcomed no matter where they are… But is this alien really that powerful?”

It was the last doubt in his heart that stopped him from directly using the ship cannon to bombard this place.

If possible, he did not want to lose so many archeologists at once.

“Let’s wait and see what he has up his sleeve. I’ve already prepared to trigger it. If the synthetic humanoid loses contact, the ship’s cannon will immediately fire…”

Hence, he continued to stare at Hu Si without a word.

Upon seeing this, Hu Si also understood that the old fogey in front of him wasn’t going to do as he said.

With a mocking expression on his face, he said to Li Wenyuan with pity.

“As expected. You’re playing the zither to a cow. Old fogeys always like to immerse themselves in their own world and look down on everything new, not knowing that this is the root of their destruction…”

After saying that, he also snapped his fingers.

The entire interior of the ruins suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere. The glowing walls began to shake, and the dust attached to them continued to drift away.

Cooper and the other aliens suddenly knelt on the ground, and then they were forced to lie on the ground as if they were under great pressure.

Even so, they were still trembling all over and had pained expressions on their faces, as if there was really a huge rock pressing down on them.

Li Wenyuan’s pupils also shrank, and he almost controlled the Tiangang Battleship to fire in this direction.

The next moment, the shaking of the wall stopped, and everything returned to normal. Only the group of aliens remained in their suppressed position.

“How is it? Do you feel this power? This is an honor that only the chosen ones can obtain! All of you, kneel before me!”

Hu Si maintained his extremely confident and smug look.

Only Li Wenyuan, who was confused, couldn’t help but ask, “Just this?”

Even though he didn’t say this with any mockery, only a heart full of question marks, it still formed an ear-piercing noise in Hu Si’s ears.

“You despicable fellow! How dare you mock me, the great chosen one! You deserve to die!”

Hu Si’s eyes were bloodshot as the surrounding walls trembled once again.

This time, the aliens were bleeding profusely, and their internal organs were starting to feel overwhelmed.

Li Wenyuan was the only one who still looked at Hu Si with a strange expression. “Why… Why aren’t you affected? Shouldn’t everyone be kneeling at my feet?” Hu Si looked at the unmoved Administrator in disbelief as his expression turned deranged.

“Get down! An ant like you is only worthy of looking up at my figure!” He had once again increased the magical effect, putting the other aliens in danger.

At this moment, Li Wenyuan, who hadn’t responded much, suddenly spoke. “So that’s how it is. Gravity manipulation? This is the first time I’ve seen it. However, I can’t let you continue like this. Otherwise, the experts I’ve worked so hard to find will be gone because of you.”

Before Hu Si could react, the synthetic humanoid’s feet moved slightly, and before he could react, the synthetic humanoid punched him into the wall.

The force that was suppressing the aliens dissipated, and the professor coughed out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Hu Si, who was embedded in the wall.

Then he said, “This kind of technology… You’re one of Grand Duke Yinxing’s men? No wonder there’s that kind of life force detection device…”

Upon hearing a familiar name, Li Wenyuan’s expression didn’t change much. Instead, he raised a hand and aimed it at Hu Si.

The bionic skin on his palm suddenly split open, revealing a black hole behind it. Within the void, the aura of death was brewing. “I thought that there wouldn’t be such a stupid creature in the world, but you’ve really opened my eyes.

“You can’t tell that I’m actually a robot? Or do you think that you can take me down with your gravity manipulation technique?

“To be honest, even if you increase the gravity by a hundred times, it won’t affect me, because my maximum strength is far beyond your imagination.

“But you’re really confident. Even I’m scared of your confidence… If your acting talent is used in the arts, you should be able to achieve something, but… You have no future to speak of.” These faint words declared Hu Si’s death sentence, causing his expression to change slightly.

He struggled to get down from the wall, but he kept threatening, “Do you know who you are talking to? I was chosen by the Grand Duke! Do you know how powerful the Grand Duke is? “You reckless old fogey, if you dare to kill me, you and the planet you’re protecting will become the Grand Duke’s food!

“If you apologize to me now, I can let bygones Otherwise…”

be bygones!

“So there really is such a fool in this world…”

Li Wenyuan shook his head. He couldn’t be bothered to talk to this idiot anymore. The palm of the synthetic humanoid flashed, and a high-energy light beam shot Hu Si’s head. Before he knew if the gravity manipulation technique could pose a greater threat, he was more inclined to nip the threat in the bud, even if it would cost him some information.

The moment his life stopped, Hu Si still maintained his arrogant attitude, as if he still didn’t believe that Li Wenyuan would really dare to kill him.

The conceited alien fell to the ground. Li Wenyuan turned his head as if nothing had happened and looked at the others on the ground with a smile.

“Do you have any medicine to heal your injuries? If you don’t have it, I can lend it to you, but it’s not free. One pill for one year of freedom, how about it? Isn’t this a good deal?” The aliens who pretended to be heavily injured suddenly jumped up. Their physical fitness was very strong under genetic enhancement. They looked miserable, but in fact, they were not seriously injured.

After hurriedly swallowing the medical capsules they had brought with them, their uncomfortable expressions quickly returned to normal.

“However, we did suffer some internal injuries just now. We hope to rest for a few days before starting the excavation work.” Cooper carefully tried to bargain with the Administrator in front of him.

Li Wenyuan also nodded and agreed to his request in a good mood.

“Of course you can. You should get used to the planet’s environment first. This will be your home for a long time in the future.” Looking at his happy expression, for some reason, Cooper felt as if he had fallen into a black hole.
