The Way Back to Civilization - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Preparations Before Departure

When ancient civilizations were about to be destroyed, a qualified successor was naturally indispensable in order to allow those precious cultures to continue.

Gu Fan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart about everything Wilm had said.

To find a suitable successor and test if they could take on this responsibility. If he guessed correctly, the Observers had given the technology template to the Piras Pirates for this purpose, and all of this might also be part of Project Rekindle.

Since that was the case, these observers must have a large amount of human technology in their hands. Similarly, the final fate and belonging of their compatriots might also be recorded in their records…

The next goal seemed to be very clear, but the problem was how to contact the other party.

Seeing that Gu Fan had fallen into a long silence after knowing the answer, Wilm looked very strange. He tapped his finger on the table rhythmically.

After a long time, he could not suppress the curiosity in his heart and could not help but speak.

“Mr. Gu Fan, can you tell me why you want to know this?”

Listening to this inexplicable question, the other party’s words clearly had a deeper meaning. However, Gu Fan was not in the mood to figure out the other party at this moment and only replied hastily.

“It’s just to satisfy my curiosity. Also, you haven’t told me how to find them.”

However, the other party only remained silent for a moment.

“It’s almost impossible.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan did not say anything. He just quietly waited for the other party to explain.

“As far as I know, they live in wormhole space. Unless the right entrance can be found, no one can see them.”

“There was a spaceship that accidentally visited the Observer’s territory when passing through the wormhole. It’s said that there’s a huge computational array of the size of a star there. I wonder what these guys are planning to do.”

As he spoke, Wilm’s tone changed again.

“However, I heard that they have been appearing quite frequently in the Northern Star Region recently. Perhaps you can try your luck there.”

Although the answer was still a little unsatisfactory, it was better than not knowing anything.

“Thank you. That’s enough.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wilm could not wait to pay attention to the strange device that was shining like a gem.

“Since that’s the case, deducting the value of this information, I will buy the artificial black hole in your hand for 1.7 billion star coins. What do you think?”

It could be seen that he really liked that thing.

After a long time, when the two of them walked out of the mansion, Gu Fan was already silently calculating how to spend wantonly in Soma’s market.

After all, at this moment, a total of 1.7 billion star currency had already been transferred into his newly established company account.

For the rest of the trip, this sum of money was more than enough.

“Mr. Gu Fan, I have a gift for you.”

At this moment, Ramchi’s voice came from behind him, but when he turned around, Well…

What was going on???

Behind the short rat, a maid with a good figure was following it. It was the cat-eared girl he had seen in the mansion not long ago.

Such a strange combination of cat and mouse really shocked Gu Fan. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

A moment later, the girl gradually spoke.

“From today onwards, I will be your exclusive slave. Please allow me to serve you as your personal maid…”

Her voice was small, and when she said this, there was no change in her eyes. She looked like a soulless walking corpse.

“A rather cute little girl. I guess you’ll like her.

Why don’t you bring her along and treat it as having an additional bedmate…”

As he spoke, Ramchi rubbed its little hands and let out a wretched laugh.

“After this, I’ll go to the southern Amar Alliance to do some small business. I wonder what your plan is?”

At this moment, Xue Feng sent a secret message.

[There are traces of implants in the subject’s brain. Judging from this, it was forcefully plugged into a personality blockade chip.]

As soon as he said that, Gu Fan could not help but glance at the mansion at the side. It seemed that Wilm was planning to use this opportunity to get close to him.

Using the implant to control the slaves in his hands was a rather efficient method, although the slaves were not happy about it at all.

“I’ll continue to the north. There are many things that I have to confirm personally.”

“Really? I heard that the situation in the north is not very stable, but I still wish you a safe journey.”

Looking at the merchant Ramchi in front of him, Gu Fan suddenly asked without any warning.

“If there comes a day when I establish my own country and city in this galaxy, I wonder what kind of attitude you and your chamber of commerce will have.”

Hearing this, almost without thinking, the flower rat in front of him suddenly slapped its claws.

“I promise you that the Ram Chamber Of Commerce will definitely provide full support when the time comes.”

Not long after, Gu Fan’s gaze was fixed on the cat-eared girl in front of him as he sat in the car heading to the tarmac. Upon closer inspection, the other party indeed had many human characteristics like the Amarians. Other than his ears and pupils, the biggest difference between him and humans was the tail behind him.

After seeing so many strange races along the way, Gu Fan had already made a judgment in his heart. These races might also be related to the plan called Project Rekindle.

If he could bring the girl in front of him back to the Glory Queen, he might be able to determine if she was a man-made species through technical means. She would definitely be a good test subject.

[Is there a way to remove the personality obstruction chip?]

After sending a sensory communication to Xue Feng, he quickly received a reply.

[Of course.]

Then, Xue Feng raised his right hand and touched the girl’s forehead with his index finger. -Zi La. Accompanied by the faint sound of electric current, the cat-eared girl suddenly let out a scream. She hugged her head tightly with a painful expression. At the same time, the electronic collar hanging around her neck fell off.

It seemed that Xue Feng had damaged the chip in the other party’s brain. Although this might damage the other party’s brain, it was the fastest and most convenient way. Fortunately, it did not take long for the girl to wake up again. When she saw the two mysterious masked people in front of her, her ears instantly crawled down. Clearly, she was shocked by the strange person in front of her.

“You are…”

After waiting for a moment and seeing that the other party had regained some of his rationality, Gu Fan immediately threw out his question.

“It’s a simple choice. Do you want to stay here or come with me?”

Hearing such inexplicable words, the girl was clearly unable to react to the current situation. However, when she looked down and saw the broken collar on the ground, A look of surprise appeared on her face. She touched her neck in disbelief. After a few confirmations, she finally believed that the collar had been undone.

“If you’re willing to stay here, the shackles on you have been removed. You can leave on your own after this.”

“If you are willing to follow me, then I promise that you will be a crew member and not a you slave.”

Facing Gu Fan’s two choices, he only thought for a moment.

“Anything is good…”

“As long as I can leave this place, I’m willing to follow you… It was an unsurprising choice. After all, as a simply slave, even if she obtained freedom, it was impossible for her to survive alone in such a world. To be honest, there was only one path in front of her from the beginning.

Upon hearing the answer, Gu Fan spread his hands at the other party.

“Good. Tell me your name.”

“Lilym…”

“Lilym of Milos…”

It had to be said that she really lived up to her name. A cute name for a cute girl. However, just as everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly and kindly… What Xue Feng said next almost made Gu Fan vomit blood.

[Question: Do you want to set the new member, Lilium, as a bed partner?]

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

[I think you should seal this word…]

[It would be great if it could be deleted…]
