My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races

Chapter 347 195: Farewell (Part 2)

Uncle Xie Zhenhai couldn't help but frown, worriedly saying, "What if artificial intelligence really does have a bug?"

"...It's indeed possible." Lu Xun pretended to be thoughtful and said to his uncle in a deep voice, "So my suggestion is not to spread it around. We'll quietly move, not telling anyone, getting rich in silence. Only a discovered bug is a bug; if it's not discovered, then it's part of the program! The heavens give to those who take it, refusing only brings misfortune. Even if it's truly a bug, it has nothing to do with us. If it dares to give us main city residency, we dare to take it!"

"Uh... Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Uncle scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Aunt and Xiao Yu exchanged a glance, thinking that nephew Lu Xun (the older brother) made sense.

After all, it's one of the only four main cities of the Human Federation!

If placed in ancient times, the main city would be equivalent to the Imperial City or the Royal Capital.

Rock Sparrow, Star-picking, Infinite, Titan. These four cities embody the essence and brilliance of human civilization, are the core sacred places of peak human technology, and the strongest reliance of the Human Federation in the world's forest.

Compared to the main city, Jinghai City is nothing more than a backward primitive village.

Given the opportunity to settle in the main city, who wouldn't be tempted?

Uncle and the others were very tempted too.

This is definitely a great opportunity to bring glory to our ancestors.

Uncle and aunt just felt a bit guilty, thinking they didn't deserve such treatment because there are so many more outstanding people than them in Jinghai City. The coveted spot that countless talents seek fell into their laps.

This windfall makes people uneasy.

But Lu Xun was calm.

Of course, fortunes don't fall from the sky. He seized this opportunity himself, so why shouldn't he accept it with peace of mind?

Uncle and aunt thought that ordinary people like themselves didn't deserve to settle in the high and mighty Star-picking City.

But Lu Xun thought the exact opposite.

Just because you're my family, Lu Xun's family, who deserves it is still up for debate!

That might sound a bit arrogant, but that's just the reality.

He was willing to take his family to settle in Star-picking City, and every brick, blade of grass, and tree there should be eternally grateful to him and feel infinite honor at his arrival.

His confidence came from his strength.

Ten minutes later.

After a family discussion, they finally settled on the relocation plan.

No time to waste; they would leave tomorrow and head to Star-picking City.

Lu Xun had Xi book four plane tickets for the following night at eight.

This way, after he received the Prayer opportunity tomorrow, he could set off with his family and take a flight out of Jinghai City.

Of course, before that, he had to bid a simple farewell to this city.

...

As night fell at the Internal Guard Headquarters.

Shi Yanxin was having a meeting with her team members to execute a plan for an eradication operation.

Suddenly, her communication device beeped a few times. When she took it out to look, it was a message from Invincible Zhan—

[I'm leaving Jinghai City and probably won't come back. Do you want to go out for a midnight snack? My treat. If you're busy, it's fine; we can catch up some other time.]

This was a farewell message.

She was a bit surprised, not knowing why Brother Zhan was leaving, or where he was going?

Invincible Zhan had helped her many times, fought alongside her, and drank with her, truly a rare friend.

Although he was powerful and mysterious, he wasn't condescending, carrying the swagger and righteousness of a chivalrous hero.

He was leaving.

Shi Yanxin definitely wanted to see him off.

So she looked up and gestured to the team, signaling the meeting to adjourn, then quickly replied to Invincible Zhan with her communication device—

[Not busy, where are we meeting? Give me an address, and I'll come out now.]

...

Shortly after, Shi Yanxin changed out of her combat gear, put on a simple everyday outfit, and met the familiar Invincible Brother Zhan in a restaurant named "Celestial Food Pavilion."

Lu Xun had already ordered food and drinks. Seeing her arrive, he smiled: "The view here is nice at night, please have a seat."

He didn't have many friends, but Shi Yanxin counted as one, and from now on, he intended to separate from Jinghai City. Unless fate intervened, meeting again would be difficult.

The two talked late into the night.

Concerning Lu Xun's personal matters, she didn't pry too much.

Even though it was a farewell, they were both open-minded people, so the atmosphere was harmonious, without much sadness.

Shi Yanxin presented Lu Xun with a gift.

He opened the gift box and found a finely crafted dagger inside.

After asking, he learned that it was once her cherished possession, a birthday gift from her father when she was 11 years old.

"What kind of normal father gifts a combat knife to his daughter?" Shi Yanxin laughed at herself, her eyes showing tenderness and reminiscence as she shared her past with Lu Xun.

Her father was also a warrior who defended the country, having noble ideals, but he tragically died during a manhunt, so mangled they couldn't even find his whole body.

"He didn't know how to express his feelings, but I know he loved me deeply. He gave his daughter a cold knife rather than a cute plush or pretty clothes because he wanted me to be self-reliant and strong when he was no longer around. Even if I didn't lean on strong people, I could still protect myself." she said.

"And you're definitely living up to his expectations, now a fine warrior yourself." Lu Xun smiled.

She sheathed the dagger, and handed it to Lu Xun, seriously saying, "Although I don't know where you're headed, be careful out there, make sure to protect yourself."

"Maybe I shouldn't... this item is invaluable to you, a treasure." Lu Xun waved his hand, attempting to decline.

"And how much does Brother Zhan mean to me? It will bring you good fortune." Without taking no for an answer, she pushed the gift into Lu Xun's hand.

She then glanced at the time, a hint of apology on her face: "Sorry, I have a tricky case to handle tonight, the battle deployment isn't complete, I have to leave."

"A case?"

"Yes, there's a gang of thugs killing people and harvesting luxurious prosthetic bodies for sale. We just tracked down their hideout, but the enemy is strong, led by a King Level boss, so we can't act recklessly, hence the need for detailed planning." she explained.

"King Level...boss?" Lu Xun blinked and said to her, "No need for such trouble, I'll just kill him for you as a parting gift. I'm leaving now, until we meet again."

"Eh?"

Before Shi Yanxin could react, the Invincible Brother Zhan in front of her vanished.

In just three minutes, the enemy stronghold was ruthlessly annihilated. The King Level leader also became a lifeless corpse.

...

The next day, Lu Xun also went to say goodbye to some old friends.

For example, Da Gu, Wei'Er, classmates, teachers, Ding Xuezhu, Li Xiaoning...

He also placed a bouquet of flowers at Old Octopus's grave.

Zhang Xinghai was not in Jinghai, unreachable, life or death unknown, so forget about it.

"Brother Lu, don't you forget about your buddies!"

Wuer handed a thick Magic Notebook to Lu Xun, with great reluctance: "Keep in touch after leaving, okay? I'll find you when high school ends."

"Yeah, I'll wait for you in Star-picking City." Lu Xun patted its skeletal shoulder, whispering, "Anyway, we won't be apart for long, finals are just two or three months away, see you during the break."

"By the way, why are you leaving? Going to Star-picking City? Did you manage to get Star-picking City residency?" Wuer quietly asked.

"Don't ask now, I'll explain later." Lu Xun said, "Just keep it to yourself, don't tell others I'm going to Star-picking City."

Not far away, Wei'Er's pointed elf ears twitched slightly, silently remembering the words "Star-picking City" in her heart.

Human lifespans are so short, many times you don't get to know someone before they're gone.

For some reason, Wei'Er suddenly had the idea of going to Star-picking City as well.

Even though she knew that elves and short-lived species couldn't be together, she still wanted to learn more about Lu while he was alive.

Many people, many things, once missed, become regrets.

Decades, for elves, are merely a blink of an eye.

But for mortals, decades are a long lifetime.

She wanted to know more about Lu, rather than it being a final farewell.
