Chapter 2102: Chapter 2101: Seeking an Item in Person
"It’s true, if you don’t believe , boss, co with
to et that person!" the person in charge said.
"Alright, let’s go!"
Ling Feng beca interested and was no longer in a hurry to return to Earth, so he imdiately followed him.
While leaving the base, he asked, "By the way, what’s your na again?"
"I’m Ma Qiang, part of the second batch of specially-trained employees of the corporation!"
Ma Qiang smiled, not minding that Ling Feng couldn’t rember his na. After all, there are so many people at the corporation, and he’s not the most outstanding employee.
Ling Feng let out an "Oh" and earnestly noted down the na. Then he asked, "How do you know that person has special ans to facilitate intergalactic communication?"
"This is actually quite a coincidence. Our plantation base employed so local people from Shallow Blue Star to work. To bring everyone closer, I like chatting with them in my spare ti. Initially, the language barrier ant we had to gesture while speaking, but slowly I learned their language, making communication much easier."
"Then one day, while talking about the boss’s exploits and unintentionally discussing communication issues, the local residents told
that they have a wizard who might be able to help us solve the communication problem!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng felt a bit incredulous. How could soone from a planet with low civilization like Shallow Blue Star be knowledgeable about such technology?
However, since they were already going to seek this person, he didn’t ask any more questions. He simply nodded and said, "If this person can really solve this problem, you’ll have made a major contribution, and I will surely thank you properly!"
Ma Qiang quickly replied with a smile, "That won’t be necessary. Being part of Ling Corporation is already an honor for . Serving the boss is just part of my duty!"
"Oh no, rits must be rewarded!"
Ling Feng chuckled and patted his shoulder. "Let’s not talk about that now; let’s go find that expert and see what’s going on!"
As they talked, they walked. Returning to a row of houses at the plantation base, Ma Qiang got in a car and drove Ling Feng away.
On the road, Ling Feng noticed that they were heading southwest, not toward the Imperial City. So he asked, "What? That expert isn’t from the Imperial City?"
"No, he lives in a nearby town. I’ve been there before!" Ma Qiang said.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "You’ve been there? Have you already found out how he carries out communication?"
"Not exactly, such a big matter, I wouldn’t dare to decide on my own. I went there for sothing else."
Ma Qiang blushed with a hint of embarrassnt as he spoke.
Ling Feng was a bit stunned, then looked him over carefully: "Why are you blushing?"
"No, it’s nothing!" Ma Qiang said awkwardly.
The more he behaved this way, the more Ling Feng understood. So he squinted his eyes and asked, "You rascal, are you in a relationship with a local?"
"Boss, I didn’t an to. It was she who pursued !" Ma Qiang panicked and quickly explained.
Ling Feng listened and then laughed, "I wondered why you progressed quickly with the language; turns out it was for this!"
Then he laughed heartily, "Relax, I was just joking with you earlier. As long as you don’t have a girlfriend or are married on Earth, then it’s fine!"
"My family is urging
to go on blind dates, but I haven’t gone to any, so I haven’t betrayed Lan," Ma Qiang explained.
"Lan, that’s the girl’s na, right? Quite a nice na!"
Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "Don’t worry, I won’t interfere in your personal matters!"
"Then I’m relieved!"
Ma Qiang let out a long sigh of relief.
The car sped across the plains for half an hour or so, and in the distance, they could see a town.
Before they even reached it, many children from the town ran out, waiting with delight.
Obviously, these kids had never seen a car before. Once Ma Qiang visited, they rembered it, so as soon as they heard the engine sounds, they would co running from various places to watch the car.
Ling Feng recalled how he was like that as a child. Back then, the economy wasn’t developed, and in the village, you couldn’t even see a motorcycle, let alone a car!
So whenever a car ca to Shiliu Village, all the kids in the village would run out to watch.
The alleyways in the town were quite narrow, so Ma Qiang didn’t drive further in, stopping at a more spacious area.
Ling Feng got out of the car, guided forward, surrounded by curious people, eyes wide, looking at them.
Soon, a person quickly approached them, warmly grabbing Ma Qiang’s hand.
From the exchange between them, Ling Feng learned that this person worked at the site and was the one who told Ma Qiang that there was an elder in the town who could use special thods to achieve interstellar communication.
After chatting with Ma Qiang for a mont, this person noticed Ling Feng standing behind him and trembled.
Seeing him nervous, Ling Feng quickly said, "It’s alright, don’t be tense, I’m just here to see the elder."
"Mr. Ling, please, please..."
The person’s speech beca jumbled and quickly led them forward.
The three walked into the town center, made several turns in the alleys, and arrived at the entrance of a private house.
The person leading then asked Ling Feng and Ma Qiang to wait outside, briskly entering the house.
A mont later, he assisted an elderly person outside.
Seeing the old man’s appearance, it was evident he was quite aged. Ling Feng quickly said, "This is unnecessary, elder; you should just sit inside. There is no need to co out!"
"You are an esteed guest; I must co out to personally welco you!"
The elderly man said, looking at Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, you are the benefactor of our Shallow Blue Star. To have you co to my place is truly an honor for
and our entire town!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng felt relaxed inside.
He knew he had succeeded.
Since the elder showed such respect, obtaining the item that enables interstellar communication should be a breeze.
Hence, he promptly replied with a smile, "You are too kind, elder. This is just what I should do!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Feng was welcod into the house.
Once inside, he got straight to the point about what he needed.
Just as he’d hoped, the elder didn’t hesitate and took out a black wooden box.
Seeing this item, Ling Feng’s eyes were sowhat transfixed!
Looking at just the box indicated that the item inside wasn’t large, yet such a small thing could facilitate interstellar communication?
It was truly amazing.
And when the elderly opened the box and took out two glass spheres, Ling Feng was stunned!
The spherical glass objects, egg-like in size, were semi-transparent with a cluster of light dots swirling within.
Ling Feng’s eyes widened: "Elder, is this, is this the item I need?"
