World version update

Chapter 129 The Opportunity Brought by He Dongsheng
He Dongsheng's appearance was completely beyond Lu Yan's expectations.

Ever since he sent He Dongsheng away and killed the superior psychic last time, Lu Yan has also tried to find He Dongsheng.

However, there were hundreds of scattered caves in the lower city, and the situation was chaotic at the time. Even Shak, a local tyrant, found it difficult to find someone who was hiding voluntarily.

It was not until the occupation of the Paradise Computing Center and the liberation of City No. 14 that most people walked out of the cave, but still did not see He Dongsheng.

The only news was that some people in the cave mentioned that someone was selling fake chips, but there was no way to find any trace of He Dongsheng.

In Lu Yan's imagination, He Dongsheng should be hiding deep in some hidden cave.

But what Lu Yan never expected was that after He Dongsheng disappeared from City No. 14, the next time they met, he went straight back to the Eastern Federation and seemed to have established contact with the Archaeological Association.

If it were changed to the fairy-tale version, it would be equivalent to a down-and-out Qi-cultivating cultivator being directly noticed by Taiyi Sect, one of the ten major Xuanmen sects, and being accepted as a disciple. It could be said that he reached heaven in one step.

Compared to Lu Yan's surprise, He Dongsheng didn't think too much about it. Instead, he took the initiative to approach Lu Yan and grabbed Lu Yan's hand, and said excitedly:

"The last time in the United States, Brother Lu and I encountered people from the Bureau of Investigation. If it weren't for Brother Lu covering for me, I would have died there long ago.

After the situation calmed down a bit, I went back to the scene to try to find out where Brother Lu was. But not only did I not get any information, but I was put on the wanted list of the police station and was hunted everywhere.

Fortunately, I reacted in time and escaped from Phoenix City and ran all the way back to China."

Having said that, He Dongsheng let out a long sigh, looking a little frightened. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on him.

Lu Yan's expression changed slightly.

From what He Dongsheng said, he did not seem to have experienced the coalition forces' capture of the Paradise Computing Center and the liberation of City No. 14, but had left City No. 14 and fled back to the country before that.

But the problem is that in Lu Yan's conception, the cyber version should correspond to the Western version. Before the world version changed, how did He Dongsheng return to the Eastern version?
"Is there something special about He Dongsheng?"

Such doubts flashed through Lu Yan's mind, but with the update of the world version, there were too many things that were not in line with common sense, and Lu Yan did not have time to think about them one by one.

With a friendly smile on his face, Lu Yan reached out and patted He Dongsheng on the shoulder.

“After that incident, I asked someone to help me find Brother He, but there has been no news.

Now that I know Brother He is safe and sound, I feel relieved."

He Dongsheng was surprised and asked, "Send someone to find me?"

Then He Dongsheng seemed to remember something, and suddenly realized it, and then he showed a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

“It turns out that those who were searching were not spies from the police station, but Brother Lu’s men!

I was so scared at the time that I ran away at the first sign of trouble, and I didn’t get to meet Brother Lu.”

This subtle coincidence made Lu Yan marvel at it.

The two of them started chatting among themselves, leaving Chu Zhuoqun and Mu Chunqiu aside.

However, there was no dissatisfaction on Chu Zhuoqun's face. When he heard about the life-and-death friendship between Lu Yan and He Dongsheng, Chu Zhuoqun narrowed his eyes into slits, and his plump face was full of joy.

After a while of reminiscing about the past, He Dongsheng suddenly remembered that his master was still standing nearby, and he quickly introduced him to Lu Yan:

"Brother Lu, let me introduce you. This is my master, Mu Chunqiu, the archaeological master of the Federal Archaeological Association.

After I escaped from the United States, I was penniless. I met my master who was doing archaeological work in the field. In order to make a living, I worked for him for a few days.

Master saw that I was quite clever, so he accepted me and prepared to teach me the art of stealing. Pah! It was archaeology. "Mu Chunqiu looked to be in his forties, and the blue gown he wore was quite old, which looked out of place with the luxurious shops around him, but Lu Yan sensed a special temperament from Mu Chunqiu.

It's not an extraordinary ability, but more like the awe-inspiring temperament that comes from being in a high position for a long time and having an awe-inspiring demeanor.

With such temperament and the other party's identity as a master archaeologist, Lu Yan already had the answer in his mind.

Definitely a boss!
Lu Yan's heart trembled, he stood up and saluted towards Mu Chunqiu and said:

"Meet Master Mu!"

Mu Chunqiu was a little surprised that Lu Yan's attitude was so respectful.

The fact that Lu Yan was able to spend three million for a place in the Federal Archaeological Association is enough to prove that his status and wealth are extraordinary.

You have to know that although he is a famous archaeological master, he is actually nothing in front of these rich people.

The urban version is, after all, a world dominated by wealth.

Lu Yan's attitude made Mu Chunqiu's expression ease a little:

"I heard Dongsheng mention you. You have helped Dongsheng many times and even saved his life. There is no need to be so polite."

Seeing this, Chu Zhuoqun on the side immediately said:

"Since Master Mu and Mr. Lu have such a good relationship, I think Mr. Lu should join the Archaeological Association."

Mu Chunqiu glanced at Chu Zhuoqun and sneered:

"The fact that Lu Yan and I are destined to be together is between us. I have not yet come to an end the matter of you reselling cultural relics and putting a price tag on the quota for the Archaeological Association!"

Facing Mu Chunqiu's questioning, Chu Zhuoqun showed no displeasure at all, but instead said with a smile:

"Master Mu, you are wrongly accusing me. I am just following the rules passed down by the older generation.

Your main line does not engage in any production, but you go to various places to conduct archaeological excavations, negotiate with local forces, and organize people to relocate. Which one of these does not require money?

If we hadn't tried every possible way to make money, how could your main lineage be able to conduct archaeological research so peacefully?"

After hearing this, even Mu Chunqiu didn't know how to refute it, and could only throw his sleeves and scold:

"That's unreasonable!"

As he spoke, Mu Chunqiu strode out of the coffee shop.

Seeing this, Lu Yan had a bad feeling in his heart, but He Dongsheng took the initiative to come forward and said:
"Brother Lu, don't worry. Master didn't actively reject you, which means he tacitly agreed to your joining the Archaeological Association.

It's just that he couldn't stand seeing these dirty things, so he took the initiative to leave."

Only then did Lu Yan breathe a sigh of relief and feel somewhat fortunate.

If He Dongsheng didn't have this identity, even if Lu Yan could enter the Archaeological Association with the help of Chu Zhuoqun, he would probably offend Mu Chunqiu.

The urban version of Mu Chunqiu naturally has no influence on Lu Yan, but judging from the status displayed by Mu Chunqiu, he would be at least a Jindan Zhenren in the fairy-tale version.

Being hated by a big shot of Taiyi Sect, Lu Yan would probably not have an easy time even if he became a disciple of Taiyi Sect.
