Chapter 887: Chapter 722 Black Hole Reactor_3

...

"If all goes well, I will have the method to forge a Small World in three months."

Gu Jinlai, just out of his laboratory, slightly washed himself, changed his clothes, and headed to his office.

As he walked, he was still planning in his heart: "Once I obtain the method to forge a Small World, it will be time to return to the Longevity World..."

Thinking of this, he paused slightly.

The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was quite friendly to him, but this was also a way of treating talent with respect.

If he chooses to return under such circumstances, leaving the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty behind...

He wondered if the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty would let him go peacefully.

"Probably not. Although a Great Dao Golden Immortal has a decent standing in the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, they may not necessarily miss someone like me. At worst... I could return to the Longevity World on the pretext of moving people from the Longevity World to the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty. By then, spending a few decades in the Longevity World wouldn’t mean much to them."

Gu Jinlai thought to himself.

After all, to beings like Star Lord Tian Xiang, who measure their lifespans in tens of thousands of years, a couple of decades is akin to three or five days for an ordinary person.

He could take three or five days off, return to his hometown, and bring his family here to live; nothing could be more normal.

As he was pondering, a young girl dressed as an Energy Academy student approached him.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai, she respectfully saluted, "Scholar Gu."

Gu Jinlai nodded slightly.

However, as he passed by this female student, he seemed to sense something out of the corner of his eye. He activated his Divine Thought, quickly focusing on a Jade Pendant hanging from her waist as an accessory.

"Wait."

Gu Jinlai said.

"Scholar Gu?"

The girl seemed somewhat surprised, yet also delighted and expectant: "Do you have any orders?"

By this time, Gu Jinlai had already touched upon a very hidden message contained within the Jade Pendant in his mind.

This message was difficult to detect even with the Divine Thought of a regular Mechanic, and only a probe with the Divine Sense Ability of a Great Dao Golden Immortal level could perceive a hint of it.

"It’s nothing."

Gu Jinlai waved his hand and turned to leave, leaving the somewhat disappointed girl behind.

After all, the current Gu Jinlai was a University Scholar, said to be hopeful of entering the Cabinet, which to even a girl who got into the Energy Academy was an unattainable existence.

If she could get a little closer, it would be immensely helpful for her future prospects.

...

Several hours later, Gu Jinlai left the Energy Academy.

This was his first time leaving the Energy Academy since arriving in Tianxiang City.

Although he was currently an important research talent, he had neither entered the Cabinet nor officially begun research on the fourth-generation nuclear reactor, so leaving the Energy Academy wouldn’t attract too much attention.

Upon leaving the Academy, what met his eyes was a city full of retro-futuristic style.

He got into a hover car and soon arrived at a location in the city’s "middle layer," which was quite an ancient-style "cave."

In reality, this was a super skyscraper, only the building was so tall, like a peak, making this area naturally like a cave.

Though cave-like in structure, the interior was quite spacious, with plenty of artificial sunlight, allowing surrounding plants to thrive. Furthermore, the ceiling was deliberately set with an artificial sky resembling a mirage effect, making everyone feel like they were in a natural forest.

Seats for resting, and facilities for leisure and recreation were scattered within, with numerous visitors coming and going, staff bustling about. Thanks to the excellent layout, pedestrians did not appear out of place, achieving a marvelous balance between people and nature here.

"Nature’s House truly deserves to be the most high-end... silent bar of the Middle Layer District?"

Gu Jinlai remarked.

One could only describe it as a silent bar or a leisure club.

Moreover, although situated in the Middle Layer District, every guest received was of considerable prestige.

No more than a hundred guests are hosted each cycle to avoid congestion, while over a thousand staff serve inside, ensuring a ten-to-one service ratio.

Led by staff, Gu Jinlai quickly arrived at an artificial cave named "Dark Rock."

Inside these uniquely characteristic "boxes" presented in cave form, there were already three men and one woman waiting for him.

Among them, two were acquaintances of Gu Jinlai.

Upon seeing the two, Gu Jinlai understood.

"No wonder someone used an accessory representing the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and used the Profound Immortal Realm facing danger as an excuse to lure me here. It was Master Mu and Sect Leader Bi Yuan."

Gu Jinlai said.

Among those present, two were Mu Wuying and Bi Yuan.

Of course, in the crucial Tianxiang City, they did not come in their True Bodies, only very lifelike incarnations.

Yet, such realism could only deceive ordinary people or mechanics; to him, a Great Dao Golden Immortal, there was nowhere to hide.

"Scholar Gu, it’s not easy to meet you at present."

Mu Wuying said with a smile.

However, there was clearly some resentment in the words.

"What’s the matter?"

Gu Jinlai paid no heed, only responding calmly.

Finally, he glanced at Bi Yuan: "If Sect Leader Bi Yuan doesn’t wish to live a life of hiding anymore, I can arrange an appropriate identity for you, one that allows you to walk in the sunlight."

The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was very accommodating to Great Dao Golden Immortal level cultivators; he believed that if he truly asked Star Lord Tian Xiang, it wouldn’t be a difficult matter.
