Chapter 489: 489 skill points maxed out Sister Lan, foreign civilization [1 more update]

After all, when he saw Miss Ye, he was so scared that he almost did a backflip on the spot.

Who could have expected Miss Ye to be so young?

Jermaine glanced at Wen Chaosheng and asked leisurely, "Chaosheng, are you scheming something?"

"Not at all, boss," Wen Chaosheng came to his senses. "How could I possibly be scheming? I’ve always been a very upright person!"

"If you’re upright, even the ghosts would have a few complaints against you," Jermaine snorted coldly and kicked Wen Chaosheng, "What are you dawdling for? Lead the way already."

Wen Chaosheng rubbed his butt and muttered, "So violent. One day when I take charge, I’ll definitely kick you back!"

Although he said this, the day he could do so was still far off, so he obediently took Jermaine to visit Ye Wanlan.

After getting permission, Wen Chaosheng opened the door, "Boss, please!"

Jermaine stepped into the room and did not notice anyone else besides Ye Wanlan, not even Hua Yingyue.

"Hello Miss," Jermaine greeted politely, "I am Jermaine, the deputy head of the Supernatural Affairs Office. May I know how to address you?"

Ye Wanlan was still leaning against the bedhead, her smile faint, "My surname is Ye."

"So, you are Miss Ye. It’s a pleasure to meet you," Jermaine nodded and went straight to the point, "Miss Ye, when you were trapped, did you encounter any supernatural phenomena? Or did you see anyone?"

He did not believe Ye Wanlan had the ability to break this evil formation.

Even the Supernatural Affairs Office had to deploy eighteen elites to initiate this Level A mission, indicating how dangerous this formation was.

Everyone in the world knew about the destruction of Shenzhou’s heritage.

Deep down, Jermaine believed that current-day Shenzhou was nowhere near the Global Center.

Insufficient resources, lack of talent, and no one with sufficient strength.

Yet, somehow, the formation had been broken upon their arrival.

Jermaine’s eyes sharpened a bit, carrying a measure of scrutiny, beneath which lay hints of disdain and scorn.

Such gazing deeply annoyed Hua Yingyue. Yet, given her current state, she could do little about it.

"Ah Lan, is this how he asks questions?" Hua Yingyue sneered, "Answer him? Why should I?"

Ye Wanlan’s expression remained unchanged, her smile diverting a heavy load lightly, "Deputy head, these questions you’re asking, I’m not quite sure about. The head of Division 723 of the East Desolate Bureau is right here, if you have any doubts, perhaps you could ask the 723 Bureau."

Jermaine was silent for a while, then sighed, "I’ve been presumptuous. Miss Ye, take care of your injuries. A blessing in disguise, I suppose. Chaosheng, stay with Miss Ye and chat for a while, provide some guidance."

A regular person would indeed be left with a considerable psychological shadow by such events.

He finished speaking and rose to leave.

The door opened and then closed.

Wen Chaosheng rubbed his hands, hesitating to speak, "Miss Ye..."

Ye Wanlan looked up at him, "What is it?"

"Miss Ye, I’m sorry," Wen Chaosheng said dejectedly, "My boss is a native of the Global Center, and he has always been quite xenophobic, even towards the people of Shenzhou who grew up in the Global Center."

Ye Wanlan’s voice was faint, "I know, why are you apologizing to me? It’s not your fault."

For three hundred years, the Global Center had been an independent core region outside any country, coupled with its dominant technological capabilities, its natives quite naturally included several arrogant individuals.

"Miss Ye, rest assured, I’ll definitely work hard to rise to a higher position soon," Wen Chaosheng clenched his fists, "I’ll show them how formidable we people of Shenzhou are when they underestimate us."

Hua Yingyue stroked her chin, "This young man isn’t forgetting his roots, pretty good."

"These are the medical supplies I’ve scavenged for you," Wen Chaosheng placed a bag on the ground, "If it’s not enough, I’ll continue scavenging. Miss Ye, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first."

"I do have a pressing matter to ask you," Ye Wanlan pondered, "Is there a third state of existence between a soul and a living person?"

"A third state?" Wen Chaosheng blinked, carefully saying, "Miss Ye, what did you experience again?"

Ye Wanlan didn’t answer, instead stating lightly, "Sometimes curiosity doesn’t need to be indulged."

"Understood, I’ll stop asking," Wen Chaosheng’s expression grew serious, "Though I haven’t seen it, theoretically, it exists."

"Oh?" Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow.

"From the scientific point of view, even a soul is composed of particles invisible to the human eye," Wen Chaosheng explained, "So, this third state you’re speaking of must also be composed of another type of particle yet to be observed, which falls into the realm of Supernatural Studies."

"Then, is it possible to revive a ’person’ in this state back to human?" Ye Wanlan asked.

"Theoretically, it’s possible, but it’s just that—theory," Wen Chaosheng scratched his head, "because no one has tried it before."

"I see," Ye Wanlan nodded, "That’s all from me, you can go."

"Alrighty, then Miss Ye, rest well," Wen Chaosheng said cheerfully as he walked out.

After closing the door, he pulled out his phone and texted in a group without Ye Wanlan.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: I’ve delivered the medicines, give me a hundred points for today’s performance.

[YN]: It definitely deserves a hundred points. Next time, you don’t have to hide it from me.

Wen Chaosheng: "!!!"

He was so scared that he almost dropped his phone.

[Cultured Person]: A warm welcome to Sister Lan’s arrival.

[Crazy Scientist]: Let’s give her a round of applause!

[Deadly Poison Master]: You added Sister Lan to the group? Brave indeed.

Wen Chaosheng was on the verge of tears.

He didn’t add her!

He didn’t know how Sister Lan got in; he had clearly closed the group’s invitation gate.

[YN]: Have you forgotten what I initially did?

Wen Chaosheng: "..."

He indeed forgot; Sister Lan was well-known on the computer technology leaderboard.

He dared not forget again.

A sudden torrential rain found East Desolate City, and Section 723 was organizing manpower for post-disaster reconstruction.

The news had already exploded online.

With trouble brewing, many applied to go to East Desolate City for aid.

[It’s fine, thank heavens, the show can be postponed, as long as everyone is safe!]

[I’m from East Desolate City, finally got a signal, you weren’t at the site, I’ve never seen such heavy rain in my life, if it weren’t for the timely arrival of the Section 723 rescue team, the wind could have carried me away!]

[Me too, me too, after a lifetime of drought, this torrential rain washed away all the rain from those years.]

[Do you guys really think this is a natural disaster? Impossible, it completely defies natural laws.]

[I think the "Treasures of The Divine Land" crew really should visit Yongning Palace to pray, how can filming a show bring so many disasters?]

The director felt the same way; he sighed and said, "Old Liu, I am beginning to suspect that we didn’t pick a good day to start filming, which is why we haven’t had a peaceful day since."

"Hey, old buddy, you’re wrong there," Producer Liu took a drag on his cigarette and slowly said, "You should say, we picked just the right day; this prevented the disaster from spreading."

It was unthinkable, what if Ye Wanlan wasn’t there, how many people in East Desolate City would have been trapped?

The director choked: "Well, that’s true too..."

"But the filming is also nearing the end, no hurry for now," Producer Liu patted his shoulder, "We will definitely finish before Miss Ye has to return for the Shenzhou college entrance exam."

**

Two days later, Ye Wanlan was finally allowed to go out by Yan Tingfeng.

Her injury had healed on the first day, but Yan Tingfeng was not at ease.

Hua Yingyue followed behind Ye Wanlan, she looked up at the sky, clear and blue like water, and softly said, "It’s so good."

Ye Wanlan turned her head and smiled, "I think, it’s very necessary for you to see the Shenzhou you’ve come to join in person, at least you won’t have regrets."

"The king indeed knows that this war is doomed," Hua Yingyue suddenly said, "Regret? Of course, it’s regrettable because I know after my death, those vermin will definitely break through Shenzhou, charging in, I fear that after my death, Shenzhou will no longer exist.

She didn’t fear death; she feared failing to protect Shenzhou.

She feared the billions of people of Shenzhou suffering the ravages of war.

She also feared the disruption of the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, rendering Shenzhou non-existent in the world.

Hua Yingyue raised her hand, catching a falling flower from the air: "But now, my regret has indeed been resolved."

Shenzhou was still there, the mountains and rivers had not been lost.

What more was there to regret?

Ye Wanlan walked slowly: "When you were confronting them, were you able to discern their origins?"

"Never," Hua Yingyue shook her head, "They came too quickly at that time, I couldn’t figure out their origins, the only thing I could be sure of was that they were definitely not from any known force."

This was what she had always wondered.

Looking at the entire world, who else had the strength to overthrow Shenzhou?

Ye Wanlan’s eyes darkened: "Although the International Strategic Studies Institute hasn’t found their origin yet, they proposed a hypothesis."

"What hypothesis?"

"Extraterrestrial invasion."

"Extraterrestrial..." Hua Yingyue’s expression suddenly changed, "Ah Lan, now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered something very important!"
