“Welcome! Welcome!”

“Welcome!”

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

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison.

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

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

…..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After 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?!”

“Sure!” Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

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

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

The group began their tour of the 404 Zone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How surprising!

The experts looked puzzled, not quite understanding.

After a while, they finally understood.

Zhao 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.

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

Colonel 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.

Helpless, 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…”

“Well, it’s not bad!”

What?!

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

But 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?!”

Zhao 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!”

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

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

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

Indeed, 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.

Zhao 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.

Seeing 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Without Thomas interfering, Colonel Chu led Zhao Yu on a tour of the entire base, gaining a lot of valuable information.

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

“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.

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

Even 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.

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

Following 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.

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

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

“All?” Colonel Chu was taken aback.

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

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

“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!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just as expected!

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

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

This was good news!

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

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

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

“Let’s take my spaceship!”

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

…..

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

“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.

Ten minutes later.

Over a hundred warships took off.

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

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

“What?!”

Thomas was completely dumbfounded!

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