I can refresh everything

Just as Lu Qing looked out the airplane window at Wu Zhenzhong, the top official of Wucheng, who was there to pick him up, Su Zhitang handed him a silicone mask and said, "Put this on."

"We cannot let the media know that you are in this team for the time being."

"Later, you and I will walk among the crowd."

Lu Qing glanced at Su Zhitang, forcing herself to look away from Wu Zhenzhong.

Putting on the silicone mask, Lu Qing felt a sense of despair.

Has this Earth, which has undergone a century of transformation, really gone to such a crazy state?

He couldn't see any way out for ordinary people at the bottom of society!

The plane came to a stop.

Professor Bo Yang took the lead and went out first.

A crowd surrounded him from behind.

Lu Qing and Su Zhitang were in the crowd.

After getting off the plane, Wu Zhenzhong and a group of people came up to greet Professor Bo Yang and shook hands with him warmly.

Wu Zhenzhong gripped Professor Bo Yang's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Professor, how many days can you stay this time? I've already prepared a top-class hotel for you."

"How's the pill coming along? Any progress lately?"

Professor Bo Yang let Wu Zhenzhong shake his hand, chuckled, and said, "When have I ever broken my promise to do something you entrusted to me?"

"I'll probably stay for five to ten days this time."

"The same old rules."

"I'll give you the pill after I finish my work."

"One hundred in total."

Wu Zhenzhong laughed and said, "Can't you give me the formula too? After all, my Fog City does need manpower."

Professor Bo Yang said irritably, "One shouldn't be too greedy."

"How about I just become your beast of burden too?"

Wu Zhenzhong laughed a few times before releasing Professor Bo Yang's hand and saying, "Of course, I couldn't be happier."

"However, your two superiors will absolutely not agree."

Professor Bo Yang scoffed lightly and said, "The mission is more important."

Wu Zhenzhong then quickly made a gesture of invitation and walked side by side with Professor Bo Yang into a car.

The people Wu Zhenzhong brought lined up on both sides of the road and bowed to Su Zhitang and the others.

Lu Qing followed Su Zhitang into a car.

Lu Qing sat in the back seat.

Looking out the car window at the officials lining both sides of the road, seeing their respectful demeanor, Lu Qing leaned back on the sofa, feeling utterly hopeless.

Su Zhitang glanced at Lu Qing, seemingly guessing what he was thinking, and said in a completely emotionless voice, "In your world, are officials really that virtuous and upright?"

Lu Qing then looked at Su Zhitang.

Few people knew that he was forcibly summoned to this world by Professor Bo Yang.

Professor Bo Yang is one.

In retrospect, Su Zhitang was one of them.

Hearing Su Zhitang's question, Lu Qing didn't lie and honestly replied, "It also depends on the country."

"There are also some scoundrels in my country."

"However, the vast majority of officials appear to be quite dedicated to the country and its people."

"Especially the higher the official rank, the more upright they appear."

Su Zhitang said with an "Eh~", "I've never seen it since I was a child".

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

Su Zhitang was quite talkative today.

However, he really wasn't in the mood to discuss these things with Su Zhitang right now.

His gaze swept across the faces of the officials lining both sides of the road outside the car window.

Finally, the convoy left the airport and arrived at a suburb by the Wucheng River.

The entire suburbs are filled with villas, yet there isn't a single pedestrian on the road, and the roadside is spotless.

After inspection, the car entered the villa area.

Finally, the convoy stopped in front of a rather large garden villa.

A girl in a long purple dress ran towards him, calling out to Wu Zhenzhong from a distance, "Dad!"

When Wu Zhenzhong saw the girl, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

However, in the blink of an eye, his expression darkened, and he snapped, "When did you get back?"

The girl clung to his arm, shaking it as she said, "These past few days, there's been a conflict near our school. Hundreds of people were shot at by the U.S. immigration authorities, which shocked the world. So the school is closed for the holidays, and they told us not to go out. We'll go back to school once this is over."

"My sister was coming back anyway, so I came back with her."

"Dad, how come you seem unaware of such big news?"

Wu Zhenzhong reached out and pinched her nose, saying, "News like this from the Ugly Country happens every day; I'm used to it."

"I--"

Wu Zhenzhong wanted to say something, but seeing Professor Bo Yang standing beside him, he swallowed his words and beckoned two burly men to come up and say, "Take the Second Miss back to school."

"Right now."

The girl pouted, not wanting to leave.

Wu Zhenzhong ignored her.

Two burly men surrounded the girl, gesturing for her to leave.

The girl kicked her shoes on the ground, reluctantly got into a small car, and drove away.

Professor Bo Yang watched this scene and smiled at Wu Zhenzhong, saying, "I received news this morning that the root cause of this riot at the U.S. Immigration Bureau is your eldest daughter."

Wu Zhenzhong turned his gaze away from the departing car and looked at Professor Bo Yang with suspicion.

Professor Bo Yang said, "Your eldest daughter booked out an entire shopping mall in the Ugly Country, and was even photographed by Ugly Country reporters casually throwing valuable pills from the mall to the people next to her."

"Those Americans rioted because they heard the news."

"They, people of the Ugly Kingdom, are actually making way for a person from the Xia Kingdom—"

Wu Zhenzhong let out a breath, his face somewhat gloomy.

In the end, he didn't say anything, but simply said to Professor Bo Yang, "You must be tired after a long day, go inside and rest!"

"This house is for myself."

"I made special arrangements today for your safety, Professor."

"The entire suburb is under control."

"Don't worry, no one will pry into your privacy."

Professor Bo Yang smiled and didn't continue, following Wu Zhenzhong into the villa.

Lu Qing and Su Zhitang also entered.

The house is full of beautiful women.

One of the beautiful women invited Lu Qing and Su Zhitang to stay in two rooms in the corner.

Lu Qing stood at the window, looking out at the eerily quiet place where there wasn't a single passerby.

After a moment's hesitation, he went out anyway.

Just as I stepped outside, Su Zhitang came out from next door and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Qing said, "I want to go outside for some fresh air by myself."

Su Zhitang glanced at Lu Qing and said, "Only one hour."

"Don't leave this suburb."

"otherwise--"

Su Zhitang pointed to Lu Qing's chest.

Lu Qing did not respond, but walked out of the villa and strolled alone on the street.

After arriving at the river, Lu Qing found a large tree and sat down.

Looking at the tall buildings on the opposite bank of the river, Lu Qing seemed somewhat dazed.

In this respect, it's exactly the same as Earth before I traveled through time.

However, in reality, it's completely different.

Lu Qing sighed.

Before transmigrating, he often thought: If spiritual energy were to recover, that would be wonderful. Everything would be reshuffled, and maybe even a lazy young man like him could gain power and become one of the world's top figures.

After transmigrating, he realized: the lower class is the lower class. The world has truly changed drastically, and it's unlikely to be reshuffled. On the contrary, the oppression of the lower class by the upper class is even more brutal, and the class gap will become even more unbreakable.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind: "You are not my Lu Qing."

Lu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. He drew the Hundred Mile Sword from his waist, quickly stood up, and turned around.

But then, a man dressed in a suit and tie appeared behind him, seemingly out of nowhere.

Seeing Lu Qing pointing the Hundred Mile Sword at him, the man shook his head and said, "My Lu Qing, no matter how much I change, he will still recognize me."

Tell me, who are you?

"Why do you have control over my body, Lu Qing's body?"

"Where has my Lu Qing gone again?"
