Chapter 463: The World of Tita
Translator: AbyssrulerEditor: Lucas
Elder Mu Sen smiled and took huge strides into the battle stage. He grabbed Wang Zheng's right arm and bumped fists with the stretched fist of Rara Durai. "In my name as an elder, I bore witness to the friendship between warriors. Brat, you are now a friend of the people of Tita."
Wang Zheng smiled. Since the intention was to make friends, he bumped his fist lightly.
All the surrounding people of Tita let out a war cry. Subsequently, they rushed together towards Wang Zheng.
However, the surrounding humans' faces had changed. This was because the term "friend" had a different meaning to "friend" in human terms. To be recognized by the people of Tita had extraordinary significance. The reason behind the Lan family's infallible status was exactly because they were friends of the people of Tita!
What was this about?
Wang Zheng had originally tried to dodge, but seeing the smile on Elder Mu Sen, he stopped. Subsequently, he was grabbed by Rara Durai's hand that was in the hand and tossed into the sky like a ball...
Every Tita warrior was shouting the same line in the language of Tita, "the king of warriors." Subsequently, they would catch the falling Wang Zheng and toss him up again...
After the Tita warriors repeated the cycle a few times, they suddenly found it pointless as the little one felt too light...
Rara Durai blamed Wang Zheng for his weight softly and said, "Friend, are you made of feathers? You are too skinny. You have to eat more. As the victor, you have to treat me and my brothers to a meal!"
The surrounding giants revealed an expression that suggested this was a natural thing to do.
Wang Zheng's jaw dropped. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that it wouldn't be easy to be the friend of the people of Tita... With such huge physiques, how much they would eat?
Sun Xin was very surprised. If she had...
Lan Ling had walked to the side of Wang Zheng and said, "Various friends of Tita, the meal has been prepared; please do not stand on ceremony!"
Lan Ling's words drew huge cheers from the giants. Even the wise ones had smiles on their faces. It seemed that they had been longing for humans' food.
After the battle would naturally be a large scale dinner. Humans had been on Tita for many years. However, in reality, both sides had clear divisions. In human cities, one would rarely see the shadows of the people of Tita. The people of Tita knew about the powers of humans. Some of the wise ones from Tita knew the Milky Way Alliance laws well, and this was the reason why they chose not to always be in conflict with the humans and had chosen the Lan family. This wasn't just because the Lan family was one of the early immigrants but also because they would want to maintain a relationship with the humans.
However, the wise ones of Tita had an innate ability. They understood the nature of humans: boundless greed. Therefore, they did not wish to walk too closely with the humans.
However, with the discovery of gravity ore, this balance had been broken.
The people of Tita had a great time eating. The Lan family had a clear idea on their taste and preferences, and this was the only time the people of Tita could enjoy human food to the fullest. Obviously, with their appetite, an ordinary family would not be able to afford treating them.
"Wang Zheng, you always surprise the people around you." Lan Ling looked at Wang Zheng with a deep stare. It was as though she had discovered a new world. When she saved Wang Zheng previously, she did not have much thoughts about it. However, she had discovered a multitude of problems subsequently. It was just that from the external appearance of Wang Zheng, he would never be considered to be a highly skilled master.
She had brought Wang Zheng along to let the wise one of Tita to take a look as they had extraordinary perceptive abilities. However, the results were beyond their imagination.
Wang Zheng smiled and said, "I was just lucky. The strength of the Tita giant was truly frightening. If they were to equip the battle armor and weapon, it would be a tough match for the human mech."
Wang Zheng was trying to change the subject. He couldn't withstand the curious looks from a girl.
Lan Ling was really curious. Surprisingly, Wang Zheng was trying to hide from her sight. Could it be that people from Earth were shy?
"Your Skylink has been repaired."
A new Skylink was handed to Wang Zheng. "However, it seems that the level of security for your Skylink was extremely high. We couldn't repair it for use. This will have to wait for you to return to the Milky Way Alliance."
No matter how strong a military school student was, the level of security shouldn't be so high. It was so high that the Lan family had no solution to it at all.
Wang Zheng wasn't too surprised. They wasn't much to see though. It was the presence of the Genesis Coffee Club that raised the level of security of the Skylink. Repairing an SS Level Skylink would be a headache even for Aslan, moreover for the people on Tita.
"I tried to intercept messages on your behalf. The Milky Way Alliance has been looking for you. It seemed that it was a misunderstanding. Your transport ship seems to have transmitted an erroneous signal which resulted in the attack," said Lan Ling.
"Do you believe it?" Wang Zheng smiled nonchalantly.
"There's always some lies in truth and vice versa. What plans do you have? You have won the trust of the people of Tita and I would sincerely invite you to join the Lan family," said Lan Ling. The boy, who was slightly younger than her, had an unexplainable sense of responsibilities that attracted her.
Seeing that Wang Zheng did not give a reply, Lan Ling hurriedly said, "Not as a guard. Actually, Grandpa was just trying to protect me when he looked for you. He had said that you could be trusted. Please do not blame him for that. The situation in the Lan family is a little bit unique."
The Lan family was afraid that Wang Zheng was a spy from some other faction. This was because in such an air crash, only an extremely strong person would survive, or it was a staged crash. However, after rounds of investigation, it was probably the first reason. Together with the trust of the people of Tita, this had completely removed any suspicions from Lan Jiang.
Humans had been living on this planet for a long time. However, the people of Tita had kept a distance from the humans. The wise ones had said that humans were too complicated and unpredictable.
To be recognized as a friend of Tita, Lan Jiang could be considered as one. Within the Lan family and in this generation, there was only Lan Ling.
And this was largely because of the pact formed in the early stages of exploration between the people of Tita and the Lan family. Also, this was because of them going through both the good and bad days over the years. This trust was built over a hundred years.
However, Wang Zheng was accepted as soon as he arrived. This was an extremely strange thing.
Wang Zheng remained silent for a moment and shook his head lightly. "I still have to go back."
"Why? Don't you feel that would be dangerous?" Lan Ling was stunned. She had not expected that Wang Zheng would reject her invitation. Rather, she had never been rejected. "Rest assured, we will not bury your talents!"
"Thank you, Lan Ling. I mean it. It's just that no matter what is waiting for me, I will still have to return. To be able to come to Tita planet and getting to know you, it was destiny. However, I still have my friends waiting for me."
When he thought about Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu, Wang Zheng felt warmth in his heart. Moreover, the whole incident was a little weird. Was it really the royal family of Aslan who did it?
There was a real possibility, but it seemed to be too over the top. His interactions with Aina weren't just made over a few days. How likely was it that they would not know about it?
To suddenly go to such great lengths for a small character like him, was it worth it?
Obviously, for Aina, they had the motives to do so. However, the style of doing things wasn't similar. Moreover, if he was really dead, how would Aina respond?
Moreover, if they had the intention to kill him, there would be no purpose in sending Aina to Atlantis. The intention of Aina being sent to Atlantis was to separate him and Aina, to use time and distance to solve the problem.
Wang Zheng faintly felt that matters weren't making sense. However, he was not in a rush, as this was something that couldn't be rushed. However, the matter could not be just left as it was.
For every grievance someone is responsible; for every debt there is a debtor.
If Aslan wanted to separate Aina and him, it would be inevitable. For Aina, he would just accept it. However, if someone wanted his life, no matter who he/she was, he would not just accept it!
"Wang Zheng, what are you thinking about?"
Wang Zheng returned to reality. "I'm sorry, I was lost in thought."
"If you wanted to leave, I will not stop you. However, please remember that I am your friend too," said Lan Ling seriously.
"Of course, you are not just my friend, you are my benefactor."
"...When you were recovering, could you hear what I said?" asked Lan Ling suddenly.
"Nope, I did not hear anything," said Wang Zheng instinctively.
Lan Ling's eyes widened. "You... heard everything?"
"Hehe, actually, just a little," said Wang Zheng embarrassedly.
Lan Ling's face turned red with embarrassment and she ran off. She had told him about all her secrets and worries. This...
"Haha, Wang Zheng, what did you say to the princess of our Lan family to scare her off?" asked Lan Jiang. Beside him were the wise ones of Tita, Mu Sen and Khalifa.
"Mr Wang, would you be interested in visiting our tribe as a guest?" asked Mu Sen. Khalifa, who was at a side, was also nodding his head in unison. "The people of Tita are known for their passionate nature. This is especially so for the Pool Tribe."
"What is wrong with you two old fellows to snatch my guest as soon as you arrive?"
"Elders, you can just call me 'Wang Zheng.' If you so wish to, I would definitely follow," said Wang Zheng
The two elders were taken aback and couldn't understand if Wang Zheng wanted to go or not.
"Wang Zheng is from Earth, the origin of humankind. What he just said is a commonly used term on Earth. He means that he is very willing to go," said Lan Jiang. He couldn't help but lament in his heart. As the ambassador of the Lan family and the people of Tita for over 30 years, he had received only five invitations.
"Haha, a person from the mother planet. Welcome, welcome!" Mu Sen and Khalifa were both surprised and became even more passionate. They had a slight feeling that they knew about this previously.
Lan Jiang knew that the two of them had misunderstood. In the eyes of the people of Tita, Earth must have had an extremely high position among the humans as it was the mother planet of humankind. However, the truth was that...
However, Old Man Lan did not clarify. After all, they were on the Tita Star, where Earthlings were rare.
"Mu Sen, you have been a little miserly to only invite Wang Zheng. What about our Lan Ling? She has not gone there either."
"Old Man Lan, we have already invited Lan Ling."
"This would then be acceptable!" said Lan Jiang as he nodded his head. An old man would still have a temper sometimes.
The resources the Pool Tribe needed had been prepared. The people of Tita had been very objective and reserved when trading for human goods. On one side, they could learn and improve themselves. At the same time, they would want to maintain the independence of their culture and not to be affected by the extravagant human culture. These were common among the strong extraterrestrial races, like the Atlanteans. However, for the people of Tita, who had a relatively backward civilisation, to maintain such a concept, it was indeed rare.
The people of Tita were celebrating wildly, singing and dancing. The people of Tita had great respect for battles. Achieving victories would be something joyous but wasn't the most important. This was at least the case in the Pool Tribe.
On the second day, the group of people from Tita had left Lan Kao City. The giants were the best transport tools themselves. Obviously, they had their own mode of transport. It was an organism known as "Dragon Cow". Its size was approximately 4-5 times that of the size of a rhino on Earth. As for its temper... it seemed to be rather docile.
