Chapter 38 Oh, it’s double eyelids
Everyone lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.
Ling Xiaoyue hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Xu, what's going on?"
"It's okay. Aren't we going to arrange for a technical team and scientific researchers to go to the original plane with you? We held a vote and selected ten people. Let me show you. If Major General Ling feels that they are not suitable or that there are too few or too many people, just let me know. They don't know the results of the vote yet. I'll show you the first one." Scientist Xu said, handing over the paper in his hand.
Ling Xiaoyue hurriedly took it and looked at it. It not only had the names of the people on it, but also the areas of expertise they possessed. Ling Xiaoyue nodded, feeling it was a good fit. But she was worried about missing something. She decided to let Cheng Jia take a look, too. So, she said, "I'll take the list for now. I'll go back and take a look after get off work."
Elder Xu nodded in understanding. Seeing that Ling Xiaoyue didn't immediately stamp the list of candidates he'd brought, he was quite pleased. He wasn't impetuous, arrogant, or making decisions rashly. This base had great potential for the future, and the research atmosphere wouldn't be too toxic.
Old Xu became happy and asked, "Can I go see Qinglong?"
Ling Xiaoyue said, "Qinglong is right here. As long as it's not feeling unwell, you can watch it, Elder Xu."
Just as Old Xu opened his mouth to say something, Ling Xiaoyue added, "I know everyone wants to see the legendary Azure Dragon, but it's a living creature after all, and we're worried it might be frightened. So, as long as the Azure Dragon is here, we'll draw lots every day. The reward is to see the Azure Dragon up close. What do you think, Old Xu?"
Mr. Xu had no objection and ran to the counter to watch Qinglong. The researchers in the monitoring room also had no objection, but they drooled enviously at Mr. Xu.
Qinglong heard the words of the woman here, the one who had a pleasant conversation with the Xia tribe leader. He snorted inwardly. Fortunately, this woman was sensible. She didn't let people see it if they wanted to. Otherwise... Otherwise, there would be nothing he could do.
The opportunity lies with this woman. I can't do anything to her.
Qinglong didn't know what kind of great opportunity this was. He only knew that in the future he foresaw, a devastating snowstorm killed most of the mortals in the Mountain and Sea Realm due to starvation and freezing. The few remaining humans didn't survive the ensuing flood. He and the tribes with totem beasts exhausted their last ounces of spiritual energy, but to no avail. They watched helplessly as the Mountain and Sea Realm was destroyed. Until the very end. He and the Phoenix sacrificed their lives, receiving a prophecy. A turning point came from a woman the Xia tribe met before the snowstorm. However, in the future he foresaw, the Xia tribe had only traded with this world once. Although the food they received lasted until the end of the snowstorm, they also lost most of their members who had managed to survive in the flood.
It's all death anyway. Qinglong suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, and the tears in his eyes. The last time the Mountain and Sea Realm was horrific, that idiot Phoenix had given him the power of Nirvana. As a result, the Phoenix, which hadn't burned up and transformed into an egg until the very end of its previous life, had become an egg in this one. It still hadn't achieved Nirvana. His karma was too much. Thinking of this, Qinglong felt a little angry again. Damn, that lazy bastard, saying he could predict the future and leave the search for opportunities to him. He was just trying to get away with it, pretending he didn't know. Look at the excuse he made. It made Qinglong so angry.
Old Xu slowly approached the Qinglong on the counter and saw the expression of Qinglong's small light-bulb eyes changing from time to time. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Wow, this dragon actually has eyelids." Old Xu said happily, "Yeah, it has double eyelids."
Everyone: …
"Little Qinglong, what's your name? Do you understand what I'm saying? How old are you this year? Do you have a father and a mother? Do you have any other tribesmen? Are there many mythical beasts like you over there? Can you invite them all to be your guests?" Old Xu rubbed his hands and spoke to Qinglong in a tone of coaxing a child.
Qinglong: ……
Damn, the whole sad atmosphere has been ruined. Does this old man deserve a beating? You don't have parents, did you just pop out of a stone? I can't understand what you're saying, are you farting?
Just when I was about to angrily scold this old man with such a vulgar smile and question that deserved a slap, I heard him call me a divine beast.
He called me a divine beast. Even though this old man was annoying, he called me a divine beast. Qinglong suppressed his trembling upper lip.
He raised his head proudly and said to the old man in a very cold tone: "Get lost."
Old Xu clutched his heart, nearly having a heart attack in his excitement. It, it, it, it, it spoke to me! The Azure Dragon actually spoke to me! No! This dragon can speak!
It exploded. The scientific researchers in the monitoring room and Ling Xiaoyue and others in the hall were all shocked.
Dig the grass! The animal is talking! This is not just any animal, it's a dragon! It's a dragon!
When Qinglong saw that he just said "get lost" and the mortals here showed such support, he couldn't help but start to show off again.
The two tears that welled up in the light bulb's eyes completely receded. The corners of his mouth were raised, and even if two black pig beasts were hung on him, they couldn't suppress it.
Cheng Jia came over and saw this scene, and his eyes went dark. Why does Qinglong look like he's not very smart?
When Ling Xiaoyue saw Cheng Jia coming, she hurried over to ask what was the matter.
Cheng Jia said that the wealthy people there said that they had run out of gold and honeysuckle at home, and wondered if they could use other things as silver to buy goods. Cheng Jia was undecided, so he came to ask.
After hearing this, Ling Xiaoyue wanted to ask the system. It turned out to be in an unusually deep sleep again. He didn't know what was going on, having called it repeatedly last night but it hadn't woken up. But the system had been dormant since he'd finished his first transaction and recharged his energy. Indeed, after the slumber, the system's functionality had improved. Ling Xiaoyue simply let the system do its thing.
So he used the system coins to buy a few more windows. After handing the magic paper to Cheng Jia, he said, "Gold, silver, silk, embroidery, and the like are all fine. As long as it's something valuable that can be converted into cash and circulated here, it can be used as a trade."
Cheng Jia said he understood.
Ling Xiaoyue added, "You've come at the perfect time. When you return, please inform the Ancient Plane. We'll be temporarily closed the day after tomorrow and reopen after we return from the Primordial Plane. Also, this is the list of names for their internal voting that Elder Xu just gave me. I don't see any problems with it. Please take a look and see if it's feasible and whether any staff additions or deletions are necessary."
"The ten of us plus Chief Su, a total of eleven, must go. You can arrange the rest. They don't know the contents of this paper yet, so feel free to remove any that you think are problematic."
