Swordsman Returns from Another World

Chapter 141: A Dream No One Dared to Dream for Thousands of Years

Bai You drunkenly looked at Lin Yuxia in front of him, and Lin Yuxia was also looking at him.

Young, too young.

Lin Yuxia couldn't help but recall the video she had seen, in which Baiyue was full of vigor and vitality, holding a sword in both hands, roaring loudly, as if accusing the whole world.

With the Originium embedded in his hand, he was not worried about his body at all. He mobilized all his strength to slash at Kosche.

After that night, countless people said he was a hero, saying that Rhodes Island would be the future of the infected. There were even rumors that Rhodes Island already had a way to cure oripathy... Lin Yuxia didn't know whether she should believe it or not.

Now it seems that he is just a drunkard, just an ordinary person that I often see on the street. Apart from those eyes, there is nothing to care about.

But perhaps out of subconscious curiosity, Lin Yuxia did not move, but looked at Bai You quietly, sizing up his slightly tipsy and flushed face, and staring at his somewhat confused eyes.

Although I am quite interested in Lin Yuxia, but not now.

"Uh, sorry... make way." Bai You raised his hand, pushed Lin Yuxia away with the back of his hand, and walked into the store.

The two passed each other, and the smell of alcohol on the boy rushed into Lin Yuxia's nostrils. She frowned slightly, turned her head, and watched Bai You walk into the store.

She hesitated for a moment and followed him into the store.

She was really curious. As the daughter of the Rat King, Lin Yuxia felt that she had an obligation to find out why he appeared here.

"Boss, one bowl of noodles with two curry balls." She sat down, ordered, and looked towards the bathroom.

After a while, accompanied by the sound of flushing, Baiyou wiped his hands and left the bathroom.

When he took two steps and was almost next to Lin Yuxia, Lin Yuxia pushed the chair next to her with her foot, and the chair moved sideways on the floor, just blocking Bai You.

Bai You was startled. He raised his foot to prop up the chair in front of him, looked at Lin Yuxia in confusion, and whispered, "... Is there something wrong?"

"Something's going on." Lin Yuxia tapped the ground in front of her with her toes and said, "Come, sit over here."

...So direct?

That's true. Lin Yuxia's character is straightforward. If Chen sometimes expresses his emotions in a roundabout way, then Lin Yuxia's emotions are really like those of a gangster lady. Although she is weak and indecisive like a girl, she acts decisively once she makes up her mind.

Bai You carried a chair and came in front of Lin Yuxia, then sat on the chair, staring at Lin Yuxia's beautiful legs in black stockings.

Too top.

As expected of a gangster lady, the pair of black stockings she wore made her look pure and sexy, and the finishing touch of the leg straps made Bai You want to pounce on her and bite her.

The light black long skirt, with bright purple ribbons and fabric embellishments, further highlights the luxurious and mysterious temperament. Although Lin Yuxia is sitting in front of him without any image, she is in a food stall.

But his temperament was as if he was in the best restaurant in Longmen, attending an extremely important and even life-determining meeting.

She tilted her head slightly, her ears twitched, and said, "You are a doctor from Rhodes Island, Baiyue, right?"

"I recognize your face."

Baiyou groaned and nodded, "It was indeed me."

"... Let me introduce myself. I am the president of the Longmen Youth Entrepreneurs Association, a guest lecturer in social relations at Longmen Union University, an alternate spokesperson for the Longmen Business Federation, and an administrative consultant for the Longmen Market Supervision Bureau." Lin Yuxia brushed her chest with one hand: "You can call me Lin Yuxia."

"Recently, I have received a lot of disaster relief supplies donated by Rhode Island. On behalf of the infected people in the downtown area, thank you."

With those supplies, Lin Yuxia can not only settle the infected people who came with Qie City, but also transfer the infected people who originally lived in the sheds in the Longmen sewers to give them a better living environment.

"That's nothing. Those materials were not funded by Rhodes Island, but came from all over Terra." Baiyou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lin Yuxia wanted to talk to him about serious matters: "Kalan Trade, Rhine Life, Black Steel International, Scourge Apostle... and even Crisis Contract, all contributed."

"Ms. Lin, this is attracting attention from the entire world." Baiyou smiled, "Because everyone wants to see whether Longmen and Rhodes Island can do it."

“Let the infected and ordinary people really come together.”

Lin Yuxia was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is this really useful?"

“Is there really a cure for oripathy?”

"I wonder if Miss Lin reads historical newspapers and magazines." Baiyou's voice became a little sad: "Have you heard of the ruins of Sargon Cave No. 4?"

"A large number of infected corpses were found there, dating back to the time when the oldest laws of Terra were born."

"They isolated the infected, left them to starve to death, or executed them, and then dumped the bodies together, some in burials, and some even left exposed to the elements."

"In the end, only crystallized bones remained of those people, like sculptures covered by mud, not even qualified to become nutrients for the earth."

"This is the situation of the infected, Ms. Lin. Since the early days of the law, people have hated, despised, and even treated them with hostility."

Hearing this, Lin Yuxia remained silent and looked at Bai You. She realized that Bai You had not finished speaking.

Baiyou chuckled, with a firm tone: "Facts tell us, history tells us that the infected have never been treated as human beings. In most places on this land, the infected are the plague gods that people are afraid to avoid."

"After thousands of years of civilization, Miss Lin, what we have to fight against is so huge." Baiyou continued, "Ore disease is the root of civilization, constantly eroding human nature, dividing people and making them naturally hostile to each other."

"Now we want to eradicate it, we want to crush it, which is almost impossible. Countless people in history have wanted to do such a great thing, but they all failed."

"Now when we look back into history, we can see the traces left by those losers, right?" Bai You said, "The traces they left behind are full of failures, not monuments... But now, Rhodes Island will record those traces one by one. When we step on the cold eyes of the Terran countries and reach the top, when we set up a monument to defeating the mineral disease, then I will carve those traces on the monument one by one."

Baiyou smiled relaxedly, as if he was sure of victory.

“I want to do something that no one has accomplished in thousands of years, to dream a big dream that no one dares to dream, and then turn that big dream into reality, hold it in my arms, and generously give it to everyone, laughing, shouting, and roaring, so that everyone can praise me and spread the praises of me.”

"...That's Rhode Island, Miss Lin."

Chapter 142: Come to my house for a chat?

To dream a big dream that no one dares to dream.

He must step on the faces of other nations to rise, step on the stairs, and find a way to the top until he becomes the greatest madman in the world and accomplishes something that no one has accomplished in thousands of years.

Is this the Doctor from Rhode Island?

Lin Yuxia felt her heart pounding just thinking about it.

To challenge the rules of that world and to defeat what has existed since the birth of civilization.

Not confined to the sewers of Longmen, not trapped in this city, not even caring about Dayan, not caring about Ursus... not caring about any powerful country in the world, and not even caring about the thousands of years of history.

We came here to bring about change, to do something that no one has done for thousands of years, and to slap the faces of other nations, because if we don't do this, we don't deserve to say that we are going to heal the world.

Kal'tsit lacks such courage, and Rhodes Island dares not put such arrogance on the table. Therefore, before the arrival of the White Glaze, everyone was just accumulating strength and doing their best to change the situation that was within reach, but never thought about rushing towards redemption like a crazy idealist.

Baiyou is what Rhodes Island and Kal'tsit lack. Baiyou is that crazy idealist.

Because it is placed from the player's perspective, thousands of years of historical problems and powerful countries are not worth mentioning to him.

The stars, civilization, Eve... Baiyou has witnessed those magnificent things countless times, so he is confident that he can change them.

What's wrong with only playing games? Even if reality is a hundred times more difficult than games, why does it mean that I should back down?

The higher the difficulty, the more interesting the game is.

"...Really, what an arrogant idea." Lin Yuxia's eyes sparkled, staring at Bai You in a daze: "Doctor from Rhodes Island, you are really a very courageous person."

Bai You smiled and responded: "It's okay, but I can't be a person who only talks empty words, so I still need your help on this road."

"I am just the one who proposed the goal. What makes me really lucky is that there are people willing to go with me, my operators, my friends."

Lin Yuxia looked at Bai You quietly. At this moment, she was sure that Bai You was undoubtedly the person she had always wanted to find.

More courageous than his father, more energetic than Uncle Wei, he is so young yet so determined, and he knows what he must get.

This kind of determination is exactly what Lin Yuxia lacks.

"No wonder you did all this." She let out a sigh: "Just as I thought, you are indeed a great person."

She looked up at Bai You who was smiling in front of her, and was about to say something when she heard another voice behind her.

"Eh? Yuxia?"

It was Chen who walked into the store. She looked at Lin Yuxia with some surprise.

Chen, Shi Huaiya, and Lin Yuxia were all childhood friends. Although they each had their own paths when they grew up, Lin Yuxia was a cute little girl who would hide behind Chen with a blushing face and look shy when she was young.

Several of them were familiar with each other, including Tallulah of course.

But after growing up, everyone seems to have their own ideas, and the relationship seems to be drifting apart.

"...Chen Huijie." Lin Yuxia turned her head and replied in a low voice.

"Why are you here?" Chen frowned slightly and looked at Baiyou again.

"I just came to eat a bowl of noodles. Your search tonight has caused chaos everywhere, and I can't sleep either." There was a little resentment in Lin Yuxia's words.

"But you, as a superintendent and head of the inspection team, actually carried out such a large-scale operation in the slums, and then drank at the food stalls. Have you forgotten who is in charge of the downtown area?"

Hearing Lin Yuxia say this, Chen Huijie was also a little annoyed. She frowned slightly and said, "Lin Yuxia, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you have to say such things as soon as you meet?"

"You were the first to cross the line, Chen Huijie." Lin Yuxia's tone turned cold: "You are too idealistic and naive. You think you can bring light to the Lower City District by yourself and the Guard Bureau."

"Do you know how many people will lose their food money tomorrow because of tonight's action? Do you know how many people will have to sleep on the streets or curl up in the sewers and drink sewage because they have no work tonight?"

"The best way to live in the slums is to not move a muscle, Chen Huijie. If you high-ranking people move a finger, it will be fatal to these people."

Chen Huijie suddenly choked up. When she followed Xingxiong to Chernobyl, she had already witnessed the miserable conditions of the infected people.

She had already experienced what happened in the Longmen slums. She respectfully called the Rat King Uncle Lin, so how could she not know about it?

But if she didn't patrol tonight, how many violent incidents would happen? There were too many new people pouring into Longmen. The Rat King's people knew everything about the Lower City, but they might not be able to protect everyone or prevent all crimes. If they could, then it would be better not to call it a slum but a model city.

Some things cannot be explained simply by right or wrong.

Bai You was picking her teeth with a toothpick beside them, looking at the two people competing with each other, and said, "Well, how about you guys continue chatting while I leave first?"

"I haven't finished my noodles yet..."

"Sit down!" Chen Huijie looked at him.

"Please wait a moment." Lin Yuxia also looked at Baiyou.

"I still have many things to ask you, and many things to say." She held out her hand. "If you don't mind, why don't you come to my house and have a chat, Doctor from Rhode Island?"

"I may not have as strong a will as you, Doctor. I can only try my best to take care of the things in the slums. As for how to change the tragic things in this city, I think I need to learn from you."

"No!" Chen Huijie was the first to object. The man in front of her belonged to her sister...well... maybe he would be her brother-in-law in the future!

How can I leave it to this little pink-haired mouse?

"He came with us tonight. We came together and we have to leave together. Lin Yuxia, you need to figure out the order of priority!"

Lin Yuxia didn't care at all. She stood up leisurely, adjusted her skirt, picked up her noodles, and said, "Then I'll eat with you."

"I haven't seen Sister Tallulah for many years. I want to see how she is doing now."

She didn't wait for Chen Huijie to react and walked straight outside.

Baiyou sighed, stood up and wanted to go back.

But Chen Huijie grabbed his sleeve.

Bai You turned around and saw Chen Huijie staring at her with narrowed eyes. She said threateningly, "Yuxia is rarely interested in people. You'd better... be careful."

Baiyou nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I know what I'm doing."

Do you know? If you knew, you wouldn't...

Chapter 143: When Have I Ever Been a Loser?

Chen Huijie was somewhat suspicious, but she couldn't refuse Lin Yuxia's meeting with Tallulah, so she could only follow them silently.

After that, it was a torture for Chen Huijie.

It was certain that Tallulah and Baiyou were in an ambiguous relationship, so when the two of them were chatting at the dinner table, even the slow-witted Chen Huijie could sense the affection in her sister's eyes.

Xingxiong and Baiyou get along very well. Baiyou's character of not hiding anything is a perfect match for Xingxiong. It can be said that Baiyou is very much to Xingxiong's liking. Chen Huijie is afraid that the two of them will stick chopsticks in their noodle bowls and become sworn brothers on the spot.

As for Lin Yuxia... Lin Yuxia's curiosity about Bai You seems to come from Bai You's views on the slums and Longmen. Bai You is an outsider who can divert his vision from Longmen's existing structure, but his views are so sharp that they go straight to the core. For Lin Yuxia, such a chat is a rare experience.

The three people were all happily chatting with Bai You, except Chen Huijie who couldn't join in the conversation. He sat aside, looking a little dazed.

The four of them sat at the food stall drinking for most of the night, and only left when the stall owner said it was time to close.

"Wow, it's already past three in the morning. Hey Baiyou, how are you going to get home? Take a taxi?" Xingxiong patted Baiyou's shoulder and said familiarly.

"If you ask me, it would be better to live in Longmen. You were planning to live here anyway."

She pointed to a building not far away and said, "I remember that Governor Wei's house is over there. I'll say hello to the doorman. You have such a good relationship with Governor Wei, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to stay overnight, right?"

The drunk Baiyou waved his hand to refuse: "Forget it, I still want to stay in a hotel, so that I can feel the feeling of Longmen."

Lin Yuxia said, "Dr. Baiyou, you might as well reconsider going to my house tonight. I think there are still many things I can discuss with you about the future of the slums, and it would be more convenient to communicate directly."
