Chapter 285 - 285 169 Gathering

285: Chapter 169: Gathering 285: Chapter 169: Gathering The nine o’clock in the outside world is actually twelve o’clock on Rebirth Island.

To differentiate the time differences between various regions, the Star Table’s homepage constantly displays both the time on Rebirth Island and the local time.

Zhang Xiaoman and Brother Hero had agreed to meet at nine in the morning, while those from the Light Blue Clan would arrive a bit later as they needed to be picked up by an Anti-gravity Car, just as Brother Hero and Ye Cang had been in the beginning.

While Zhang Xiaoman was still waiting, over at Su Zhuang in Qionghua City, all members of the Light Blue Clan had already gathered there.

There were a total of eight people present, including Xiao Shun, Yang Yangyang, and the other four original members of the Light Blue Expedition Team.

Su Fu and Lord Bear were also among them, as they were on the list for Zhang Xiaoman’s second batch of awakenings.

The Light Blue Expedition Team actually had more than these members, with many others who would occasionally join the adventures as their interest took them, but they weren’t considered core members.

Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t planned on recruiting too many people at once, so after the establishment of the Light Blue Clan, Xiao Shun had directly disbanded the expedition team, preparing to put all their effort into the missions of the Star Alliance.

Now, everyone had gathered here, staring eagerly at their cell phones, just waiting for the time Zhang Xiaoman had mentioned to arrive.

Su Fu seemed to be the calmest person present, currently sitting under a sunshade chatting with Lord Bear, while other family members had been sent away, leaving only the eight who were to participate in the awakening.

They were currently located next to a rockery in a small courtyard designated by Zhang Xiaoman as the meeting place, saying that the car would pick them up here when the time came.

“Get on a car?

I say, Xiao Shun, are you sure Brother Man told us to get on a car here?”

In the courtyard, Xun You was asking Xiao Shun, who was seated on a rockery stone.

His tone was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Xiao Shun looked at him somewhat speechlessly and said irritably,

“Dog, you’ve already asked me the same question five times.

Why do you keep repeating it?

How many times do I have to tell you that Brother Man did indeed say we should wait here to get on the car?”

Xun You’s face grew more troubled as he could not fathom why they would be waiting here to go to Rebirth Island, and what this getting on a car was all about.

“Could it be that a train with a name like six-eighths plus one would emerge from this pool, then take us straight to Rebirth Island?”

“Heh, Dog, you really are wasting your imaginative talent by not writing novels.

You can’t possibly think Uncle Su’s pool has a direct route to Rebirth Island,”

teased Hu Peng from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xun You didn’t take it well and retorted, “Fox, all you do is argue with me.

Then you tell me what this getting on a car really means.”

Seeing everyone’s eyes on him, Hu Peng revealed a mysteriously confident smile and said,

“Heh, I don’t know if you’ve heard about the incident that spread from Changming Tower a few days ago?”

As soon as he mentioned it, someone responded,

“Yeah, I heard about it.

It was supposedly about a Monster or something.

I wanted to watch the video but couldn’t find any resources online after searching for quite a while.

Then I went to the forum to sift through posts, and though there were plenty of discussions, they were all over the place, with even the Dinosaur Team mentioned.

I had no clue which one was true.”

Pleased with the response, Hu Peng nodded at him and said with a laugh, “Good, Sweater, you have a nice habit of not easily believing things and seeking to trace back to find the truth.

That’s a quality very much worth…”

“Hey Fox, are you asking for a beating?

Just say whatever you have to say, will you?!”

Yang Yang couldn’t stand his ostentatious bearing and was on the verge of giving him a knock.

“Don’t hit, don’t hit, protect the animals, protect the animals…”

someone next to him interjected.

“Cough cough, back to the topic, actually I haven’t seen the video either, but I…”

Just as Hu Peng was halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that everyone looked like they were about to come forward and beat him up.

He hastily sped up his words:

“But I found a photo!

I think this must be real!

I’ll show you guys!

Don’t hit me, folks!”

As he spoke, he immediately took out his phone, pulled up a photo from his album, and then passed it around for them to see.

The photo showed a night scene from an aerial perspective, pointed towards the sky, where at the top of the Changming Tower, there seemed to be a black object hovering.

However, perhaps because the shot was taken in a rush, the image was a bit blurry, and since it was nighttime, it was not very clear.

“Hehe, what do you think?

Isn’t it awesome?

This is a precious resource that I managed to get my hands on.

If you guys want it, I can copy it to a USB drive for you later.”

Hu Peng said proudly.

Meanwhile, a few people were huddled together studying the photo, and Xiao Shun couldn’t help but say, “Fox, you’ve got such a great thing here, why didn’t you bring it out sooner?”

“Hehe, I only just got this last night.”

Yang Yangyang snatched the phone and zoomed in on the image significantly, looking at the black shadow in the middle and wondering:

“This thing, it kind of looks like a car?

And a bit like an alien spaceship?

Could this be the ‘Flying Car Hero’ that’s being talked about online?

By the way, do you have any other photos?”

As he spoke, his fingers subconsciously flipped to the next picture, and a sexy bunny girl photo suddenly appeared on display.

“No, ah!!”

It was only at that moment that Hu Peng realized what had happened, but it was already too late.

“Hahaha, who would’ve thought the Fox would be into this kind of stuff, hehe, bro, next time I’ll take you to see the real thing?”

Xun You patted his shoulder and laughed, “No worries, what’s there to be shy about?

We’re all men here, what’s wrong with a man liking a beautiful woman?”

“Sleazebag!” Ji Xiaoqi gave him a disdainful glance.

Hu Peng felt like crying but had no tears, thinking to himself, how did I become a sleazebag.

Their conversation was successfully derailed and it took a long while before it finally turned back to the matter of the Flying Car Hero.

“I also saw online that ‘Flying Car Hero’ is just like ‘Lord Sword Immortal’, a silent protector, a super hero guarding us in the background, it’s just that one relies on True Qi and the other on technology.”

“Wow, do you think this could be another Transcendent?”

“Impossible, impossible, I remember Brother Man said that on Water Blue Star, humans no longer had Transcendents.

I think this must also be Brother Man, and look, isn’t there a black aircraft?

It’s very likely the car Brother Man said he would send to pick us up!”

“No, no, what if he’s another member of our Star Alliance?”

“Hey, I say you’re all wildly guessing here, for such questions, why not just go up to Rebirth Island and ask?”

“…”

Off to the side, Su Fu looked at the enthusiastic scene of their discussion, couldn’t help but crack a smile, and shook his head, “I really envy these young ones, youth is wonderful.”
