Chapter 274: Arrangements
Chapter 274: Arrangements
"However, you seem to be very lucky; the Holy Judgment Center didn't make things too difficult for you. There are some things I can't tell you right now, but they might tell you when you 'meet' with the Holy Judgment."
“I understand, thank you.” Zhou Yuan looked steadily at Lefia. “I think I know what to do. There are still ten days, enough time for me to make arrangements.”
Zhou Yuan opened his ring and contacted Nana, who then teleported the robot back to the warship. The transparent square light object continued to float in the air, becoming a unique attraction in the Huasheng Special Zone. Zhou Yuan gave Lefia a ring, saying he needed to arrange a meeting with the Arbiter and asked her to wait for him for a day. Lefia reluctantly agreed.
Zhou Yuan instructed Nana to deploy an advanced warship, and he personally spent a day meticulously preparing it, removing unnecessary functions and copying the hypercube information of the five-dimensional intelligent race and the human race onto the warship. Zhou Yuan still prepared some defensive measures on the warship, although he knew these measures might not be effective against the human race's Holy Arbiter.
After Lefia spent a day alone in the transparent square light body, Zhou Yuan indeed returned to the transparent square light body.
"Zhou Yuan, it's so stuffy and boring here. How are we going to pass the remaining nine days?"
"You've lived for fifty thousand years, why would you care about these nine heavens?"
"So curiosity killed the man. If I hadn't been curious about you humans, I wouldn't have come here. The guardians of this world are really boring."
"Then what do you humans in the fifth dimension do? Isn't that boring?"
When Zhou Yuan asked her that, Lefia was stunned for a moment. "Of course, we're trying to find a way to defeat the five-dimensional intelligent race. Anyway, we need to go out for a walk. We're so bored staying here."
Suddenly, Zhou Yuan's ring vibrated, and he opened it.
"Chu Xiaolu, what's wrong?"
"Zhou..., save us." The holographic image showed Chu Xiaolu, followed by Pan Na and Mei Ruolan; the three of them appeared to be locked in a room.
Where is your Brother Zhou?
“We were arrested together, but we don’t know where Brother Zhou was taken.”
Where is Ye Xiaomei?
"Sister Xiaomei and her child, and Brother Zhou's mother were locked in another room."
Zhou Yuan touched his ring, and then a holographic screen appeared on the ring, showing Xiao Mei, her child, and Zhou Yuan's mother near Chu Xiaolu's room, about seventy or eighty meters away.
Zhou Yuan recalled that he didn't seem to have a ring on his wrist.
"Don't panic, I'm coming to save you."
"Thank you." Chu Xiaolu's ring disappeared holographically, but Zhou Yuan's holographic image did not. "Nana, teleport all of Zhou Yuan's four wives, children, and mother to my flagship. Also, find where Zhou Yuan is, rescue him, and bring him here."
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing this, Lefia sensed that something interesting was about to happen. Ever since Zhou Yuan appeared in this four-dimensional virtual universe, the world seemed to have fallen into chaos, and she, as the guardian of this world, seemed to have neglected her duties.
Fifteen minutes later, a flash of light appeared, and a person appeared at the door of the square light body house. The person marked Zhou Yuan saw Zhou Yuan and Leifia and seemed to be surprised. Then, turning his head, he saw the building at his feet. Zhou Yuan noticed that the person marked Zhou Yuan was dressed in tattered clothes and looked haggard, probably because he had been abused.
"Thank you," Zhou Yuan said to Zhou Yuan, his voice not very loud. Zhou Yuan handed him a glass of water, which Zhou Yuan drank in one gulp. Zhou Yuan then poured him another glass.
Zhou Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, next to Lefia. Zhou Yuan pointed to the chair, indicating that Tad Zhou Yuan should sit down. Tad Zhou Yuan smiled and then sat down.
Lefia noticed that the two Zhou Yuans looked slightly different.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Yuan asked.
"After returning home more than forty days ago, I didn't have two days of peace before people came."
Zhou Yuan knew what the tag Zhou Yuan meant by "people have arrived".
"and then?"
"They interrogated me and forced me to confess, but luckily I'm knowledgeable and probably still have some use to me, so they didn't..."
"Are they using your wives and children to blackmail you?"
"Well, I'm sorry, I gave them a little information about you, but of course they didn't really believe it."
"Is it because you prevented your wives from asking me for help?"
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan and nodded.
"Lefia, the humans on this planet just love to fight amongst themselves. What do you think I should do?"
The tag Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan, then at Lefia, whose eyes held a pleading look.
Lefia stood up. "Although I am the guardian of this world, I cannot directly interfere in the affairs of you three-dimensional humans. This is your business, Zhou Yuan. You decide what to do."
Zhou Yuan was taken aback; Lefia had completely denied everything.
"Lefia, if I were to transfer the consciousness of the humans on this planet again, how would your human race view it?"
Zhou Yuan and Lefia looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise. Lefia said, "You can talk to the Holy Judgment Center about this. Asking me won't help."
"Ok."
Zhou Yuan looked at the tag "Zhou Yuan" and said, "It seems you can't stay on this planet. What are you planning to do?"
Zhou Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said somewhat dejectedly, "To be honest, I don't know."
"I can give you two choices: either you go to the Horizon, or I will scare the Eastern and Western Kingdoms so badly that they won't dare to touch you."
"I need to discuss this with them, since it doesn't matter where I go."
“Okay, I’ll wait for your message.” Zhou Yuan opened his ring. “Nana, teleport him to the flagship and give him another ring.”
“Yes, Master.” The tag Zhou Yuan immediately disappeared.
A short while later, Zhou Yuan called.
"Zhou Yuan, we've discussed it, and we still want to stay on this planet. But I have a suggestion."
What suggestion?
"To avoid a major conflict and to protect our safety, we hope you can have a proper talk with them."
"Yes, I understand what you mean. You don't need to worry about that."
"Thank you so much."
"Wait for my good news."
"Lefia, let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Aren't you feeling bored? Let's go."
Zhou Yuan walked to the door of the "bedroom" and then jumped down. Lefia also jumped down.
In mid-air, the little bee spaceship caught the two.
"Master, where are we going?"
"To the Presidential Palace."
It was Lefia's first time inside the Little Bee spaceship, and she found it quite novel, looking around curiously.
"Nana, dispatch a warship to stealthily reach the Huasheng Special Zone in the Western Turks."
Leidaya stared at Zhou Yuan. "What are you trying to do?"
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Just in case."
Soon, the stealth bee-shaped spaceship arrived at the presidential palace, and Zhou Yuan and Lefia appeared "out of thin air" in the presidential office.
There was no one in the president's office; Zhou Yuan and Lefia sat in chairs waiting.
About twenty minutes later, the door opened and two men walked in, one in military uniform and the other in a suit.
Upon seeing Zhou Yuan and Lefia, the two men paused for a moment and took a step back. Then, the man in military uniform asked, "Zhou Yuan?" The man in the suit remained calm, staring intently at the two of them.
"Mr. President, hello." Zhou Yuan stood up and walked towards the man in the suit.
The man in military uniform blocked Zhou Yuan's path, while the man in the suit said, "Arthur, it's alright," before walking to the president's desk and sitting on the "throne." Arthur, the man in military uniform, glanced at Zhou Yuan and Lefia, then at the president, and finally at the inconspicuous red button under the president's desk. Arthur then took out his phone and made a call.
Zhou Yuan did not stop Arthur from making the call.
"Zhou Yuan, who is this beautiful lady?"
"Mr. President, my name is Lefia."
"I didn't know you two were coming..."
“Mr. President, it’s like this. I need your help.” Zhou Yuan interrupted the president. “I hope you can provide a safe and comfortable home. This home is for Zhou Yuan of your National Academy of Sciences, his wives and family members, as they need it.”
The president stared intently at Zhou Yuan. "With your abilities, you should be able to do it."
“I can do it, but I can’t take on everything, and I don’t want to be restricted.” Zhou Yuan paused for a moment. “Mr. President, in return, I will help you improve your Horizon Landing technology.”
"Were the strange events three years ago, and the recent ones, all your doing?" The president didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked directly.
Zhou Yuan nodded, noticing a hint of fear in the president's eyes.
"Okay, I agree. But I have one more condition."
"What conditions?"
"I hope that Zhou Yuan will serve our country."
"You should talk to him about this. I can't make the decision, and I won't interfere."
"Well."
Zhou Yuan understood the president's meaning; he simply hoped to further utilize Zhou Yuan's wisdom to improve the technological level of the Western Kingdom.
Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open. Six men in plainclothes black suits entered, carrying guns. Four of them pointed their guns at Zhou Yuan and Lefia, while the other two stood guard beside the president.
"Put down your guns," the president shouted.
The four plainclothes men held their hands low and angled, their guns not directly pointed at Zhou Yuan and Lefia, but ready to fire at any moment.
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, "Mr. President, I will immediately teleport that Zhou Yuan here, and you can discuss the details. I think that Zhou Yuan will also give you a surprise."
After speaking, Zhou Yuan opened the ring and called Nana. The president, the man in military uniform, and the six plainclothes officers saw the ring's unique function and thought to themselves that it was indeed a powerful technological tool.
A moment later, a flash of light appeared, and the tag "Zhou Yuan" appeared. When this tag "Zhou Yuan" appeared, everyone except Lefia was surprised, because there were two Zhou Yuans who looked alike, but the tag "Zhou Yuan" looked older than the real Zhou Yuan.
Upon seeing Zhou Yuan, the president, and others, Zhou Yuan understood what was going on. He walked up to Zhou Yuan and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You'd better take care of yourselves." Zhou Yuan then said to the president, "Sorry, I have other things to take care of. You two can continue your conversation."
The president stood up and shook hands with Zhou Yuan, saying, "Don't worry, I will arrange everything."
"Thank you, Mr. President."
"Then we'll be going now." Zhou Yuan didn't expect the president and his people to treat him and Lefia kindly, so he didn't want to stay any longer.
The president nodded. "Arthur, why don't you see them off?"
"Yes, Mr. President."
Arthur gestured for Zhou Yuan and Lefia to follow him out of the presidential office.
Under the watchful eyes of Arthur and many others at the presidential palace, amidst their fear and astonishment, a small bee unfolded into a spaceship on the presidential palace lawn. After Zhou Yuan and Lefia entered, it suddenly disappeared.
