Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 168 The Differences of the World

The world is changing too fast.

Xue Pengkai walked into the base as usual, with an inexplicable chill in his eyes.

No one on the road greeted him. Everyone's eyes were on the newcomer Wang Lang. They greeted him warmly, welcomed him, and even wanted to kneel down to him.

It was obvious that he used to feel annoyed when being stared at by that group of people and seeing them nodding and bowing, but now that no one paid any attention to him, Xue Pengkai felt even more annoyed.

The boy at the center of the storm with a shy smile nodded back awkwardly. When he saw Xue Pengkai, he touched his head and gave a cordial greeting.

"Brother Xue, good morning."

The base is mostly populated by white people, with quite a few black people doing hard labor, but there are very few yellow people. Because both of them are Chinese, Wang Lang had a good impression of him and called him brother as soon as they met.

It was also for this reason that Kelly asked him to give Wang Lang some simple training, telling him the knowledge related to the seal, some precautions and so on.

"Well, good morning. Congratulations, Xiaolang, you became the team leader right after joining the company."

Xue Pengkai's expression quickly changed to that of a gentle senior and he smiled at Wang Lang.

In just two days, the new boy won the love of everyone in the base and became a hot topic. Whether it was ordinary employees on the ground who were unaware of the situation or real employees in the base, everyone couldn't stop praising him.

This was normal. After all, he had just arrived and had resisted the urge to open the first-level sealed object "Pandora's Box". Then he successively subdued the third-level sealed objects "Nameless Portrait", "Emotion Covering Machine" and the first-level sealed object "Book of the Dead". The whole process took less than a day.

Yesterday, after the seal of the first-level seal "Kabadun Tree" failed, he turned the tide and re-sealed the "Kabadun Tree" by himself, saving a large number of employees.

In just two days, he became the youngest, fastest promoted, and least experienced team leader in the Future Fund.

"I also want to thank Brother Xue for giving me the knowledge about Sealed Objects. Otherwise, I would be completely in the dark and would not know anything."

Xue Pengkai pursed his lips and gave Wang Lang a perfect smile, "You are still very capable. Everyone in the base knows what I said, but it's not as systematic and detailed as what I said."

"But there are still many people hanging around at the civilian level, unlike you who have been promoted so quickly and have become equal to me in just a few days."

Wang Lang shook his head repeatedly, with an inevitable smile on his face, "Brother Xue, please don't laugh at me. I just got here, what do I know?"

At this point, Wang Lang sighed, "In fact, I never thought I could do these things."

These things happened so fast, so fast that he couldn't react, so fast that he felt like he was dreaming.

Before this, he had always been cowardly, a failure in all aspects, and always remained unknown.

But after arriving here, everyone regarded him as a rising star and the next manager, and he was overwhelmed by expectations and praise.

"But this kind of life is pretty good. Even though it's a little dangerous, my talents can be developed here, and I can save others and atone for my sins."

Wang Lang's whole body was filled with a feeling of happiness.

"..."

How dare you say that? He was obviously just a lowest-level first-level personnel at the beginning, used to test and refill the consumables of the seals, and theoretically a criminal who could not be promoted.

Xue Pengkai suppressed his thoughts and smiled apologetically, "Let's talk next time. I should go look after the Level Zero derivatives. You know, these kinds of creatures are very dangerous."

"Is it Derivative Number Three?"

Wang Lang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

Xue Pengkai's smile slowly disappeared, "You know, but the information about the Sealed Object should be kept confidential, especially the knowledge related to Level Zero."

"Director Kelly told me that because the sealed object seemed to be intelligent and had some connection with what happened to my father, I asked about it in detail."

"..."

Xue Pengkai could no longer maintain his smile. What kind of thing was it to tell the truth about the level zero derivatives he was responsible for just because he was "asked carefully"?
"Brother Xue, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Lang saw that his face was not right, and asked hesitantly, "Did I say something wrong?"

Xue Pengkai nodded slightly, "Level 0 confidential information cannot be disclosed casually. Manager Kelly's actions are against the rules. Be careful not to spread it around, otherwise even the manager will be punished."

"Ah, about that."

Wang Lang hesitated, "Actually... um... nothing, Brother Xue, go and do your work, I... I'll leave first."

When he saw Wang Lang's figure disappear around the corner, Xue Pengkai's face darkened completely, with all kinds of emotions churning in his eyes, and finally calming down.

He went straight to the 1th floor and came to the monitor in Derivative Room No. again.

The boy in the picture is sitting quietly reading a book just like last time, and it seems like life is peaceful and tranquil.

"Luke, can you predict the future?"

He asked directly in a strong tone as soon as he came up: "Last time you told me to come back in three days because you anticipated the current situation, right?"

Luke ignored the voice on the speaker and continued to calmly and calmly flip through the book, with no intention of paying any attention.

Xue Pengkai closed his mouth and waited patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ke finally closed the book and said calmly, "You deserve praise for being able to wait patiently, but you will be deducted points for not controlling your emotions at the beginning. Your evaluation in my heart has been reduced, Mr. Xue."

He propped his head up with his slender hands. "What is the situation now?"

"The whole base is discussing Wang Lang's matter. Didn't you hear it, Luke?"

"But you are the only one who can come here to see me, Mr. Xue." Lu Ke lowered his eyelids and revealed a faint smile.

"Last time you told me to come back in three days, you obviously anticipated the current situation."

"I don't deny it." Lu Ke answered calmly, "I don't think I've told anyone else that I can see a person's fate."

Xue Pengkai was silent. The information about the sealed objects was filled with human lives. It was okay for those with rigid mechanisms, but no one knew whether the intelligent sealed objects would have the ability to conceal things.

Now that I think about it, how could Derivative No. 3 really be an ordinary person?

Luke's voice floated from a distance: "Do you remember what I said? It's a pity that such an excellent person like you is not loved by the world."

Xue Pengkai's pupils shrank. "So, Wang Lang is the one favored by the world?"

"At least that's the case at this stage."

Lu Ke smiled mysteriously, "How about it, do you want to cooperate with me?"

"How can you help me?" Xue Pengkai did not refuse at the first time.

"If you can observe, you can change. If you can change, you can control." Lu Ke casually made a suggestion, "Let me out, and I will help you become the protagonist."

"What are you going to do when you get out?"

"Well, there's nothing to hide about this. I want to destroy the world." Luke pointed to his feet, "The first step is to destroy the entire Future Fund."

"Are you worthy enough to destroy the Future Fund?"

Xue Pengkai sneered, "You really have no self-awareness. Do you know how many times the Earth has experienced a world-destroying crisis? Do you know how many terrible things the Future Fund has sealed?"

"It seems that I have overestimated you, Derivative No. 3."

He lost the mood to pretend, and the contempt in his eyes gradually poured out. Looking at the boy who was locked in the hotel suite, he said bluntly: "You can't even escape the house number 1408. You can only beg me to let you out, you incompetent monster."

Faced with Xue Pengkai, who tore off his hostility and directly called himself "Derivative No. 3" by code name, Lu Ke was not angry. Instead, he looked at him with a teasing look, as if he was looking at a clown who was making him laugh.

"Mr. Xue, you were born into a wealthy family, you have a good family background, you are good-looking, and you are in good health."

"You have received the best education and learned all kinds of etiquette. You are outstanding in ability, strong in execution, and have your own judgment on things. Every time you go out, the people around you become the supporting role to set off you. You are truly a child of destiny."

"Pain cannot make you surrender, and interests cannot corrupt your soul. At least for a normal person, your mental state is very stable, but there is only one thing you cannot accept."

Luke slowly told the truth, "You can't accept being a foil to others."

Xue Pengkai snorted coldly and turned away without any regrets.

Luke's last words came from behind.

"Mr. Xue, you are not the only choice."

Xue Pengkai paused for a moment, then continued walking.

……

Base level one.

While eating lunch without any taste, Xue Pengkai prepared to go and check out the other two sealed objects under his name, "Son of Plenty" and "Magic Fairy".

The Son of Fertility is a handsome sixteen-year-old boy. His blood can nourish and heal all things, giving life to anything. Dead seeds, rotten dead flesh, and even lifeless steel will bloom flowers of steel and bear fruits of steel after being watered with his blood.

But if blood is not donated voluntarily, it will lose its effect.

The magic elf is a pretty little girl who is 30 centimeters tall. She claims to be a visitor from another world in the Mam continent. She can use the magical wishing technique and claims to be able to fulfill all wishes. However, her ability is relatively weak, and she can only fulfill a few outrageous wishes.

For example, if you ask her to destroy the sun, the sun will indeed be destroyed, but only by an almost immeasurable amount. For example, if you ask her to resurrect the dead, she can also revive some of your cells.

Experiments show that the simpler the steps to realize a desire, the higher the degree of achievement will be, and vice versa.

"Team Leader Xue, Supervisor Kelly wants you to go to her office."

Xue Pengkai stopped and nodded, "Okay."

As he approached the office, he heard a sound coming from inside.

"... an emblem, a wanted poster without a picture of a person, a slate with nine decrees written on it, and the last one... what a monster!"

"As expected, you are not affected by any mental pollution. You are so outstanding, King!"

Xue Pengkai clenched his five fingers, knocked on the door, and walked in only after hearing the command "come in".

Kelly's face, which usually kept silent about her emotions, still showed some excitement at this moment. She stuffed the paper into the money shredder and nodded to him.

"Xue, I asked you to come here this time to make some adjustments to your work."

Kelly's natural voice sounded.

"You will no longer be responsible for Derivative No. 3 starting tomorrow. Hand it over to the king. I will prepare a seal that is more suitable for you later."

Xue Pengkai felt empty in his heart. He opened his mouth, but suddenly found that he could not make a sound. He remembered Wang Lang's hesitant expression in the morning.

Then he remembered what Luke had said.

"Mr. Xue, you are not the only choice."

It turned out to be the case.

Xue Pengkai forced a smile and nodded.

"it is good."
