Blue Star People
There have been speculations about this Gu Jinlai, after learning about the concept of consciousness overclocking and having communicated with Blue Star more than once.
As the two worlds draw closer and attract each other, he is not the only Blue Star who suddenly arrives in this world.
He even came to a conclusion.
When a person is on the verge of death, their thoughts and consciousness are stimulated to the extreme by the great terror between life and death. If there happens to be a spacetime portal around them at that time, their thoughts and consciousness may travel to this world.
If there happens to be a soulmate in the place he travels to, he can be reborn through a borrowed body, just like he was.
Therefore, when he saw the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce building, which perfectly matched the layout of the Blue Star Mall, he had this guess in his mind.
Seeing Feng Yushu in person, and her outfit that was more in line with the style of Blue Star, his guess became even stronger. So, he tentatively asked the code that only people from Blue Star should understand.
Result...
She matched up.
This girl named Feng Yushu, she actually matched up!?
"You..."
At this moment, Feng Yushu seemed to realize something, and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide and look at Gu Jinlai.
"Shall we talk privately?"
Gu Jinlai, he has never hesitated to say so.
"Okay, let's talk privately."
Feng Yushu nodded vigorously.
His face was filled with surprise, astonishment, and disbelief.
After saying that, she led Gu Jinlai toward another office area.
"Ancient Martial King..."
Before Feng Leiming could speak, Feng Yushu reacted first. "Second Uncle, you saw it, the Ancient Martial King wants to have a private talk with me for a while. You're not going to stop him, are you?"
"No, no, of course not."
Feng Leiming quickly replied.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
But when faced with a Martial King, especially one who had shown them favor, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.
Even in Fengyu City, with a population of over 100 million, beings of this caliber belong to the very top tier.
This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Xuan did not hesitate to help Gu Jinlai obtain the qualification to study at the Martial Saint Academy, a martial arts holy land that ordinary people might not be able to enter in their entire lives.
If he dared to offend such a top-tier being, he would be killed instantly by that person, and the Feng family would all applaud.
In Feng Yushu's private office, she brought Gu Jinlai in, quickly locked the door, and then turned around impatiently, wanting to say something, but in the end...
But I don't know where to begin.
Although Gu Jinlai Blue Star in this world, he had strong self-control and quickly regained his composure.
"My name is Gu Jinlai, and I'm from Xia Yu City in the Central Kingdom. You're from the Yellow Dragon Kingdom?"
Gu Jinlai, people have taken the initiative to speak up.
"Oh? Your real name is Gu Jinlai."
Feng Yushu was somewhat surprised, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, my name is Zhao Yushu, I am from Huanglong Kingdom, and I live in Yunhai City... Xiayu City? Oh? I even participated in a debate at the School of Economics and Trade of Xiayu University."
"Zhao Yushu participated in a debate at the School of Economics and Trade of Xia Yu University?"
He pondered for a moment, reflecting on the Gu Jinlai.
Before he could even use his ultimate weapon, Kiyomitsu, he had already figured something out.
He still kept in touch with his roommates after graduation. He remembered that a few days before he time-traveled, one of his roommates, who was pursuing a master's degree, sent him a message saying that Xia Yu University had completely disgraced itself.
They were utterly defeated in a debate by a girl named Zhao Yushu from Yunhai University.
So...
"Are you Zhao Yushu from the class of '27 at Yunhai University?"
"It's me! It's me! I'm Zhao Yushu from the Class of '27."
Zhao Yushu nodded repeatedly in delight.
In a completely unfamiliar world...
It's one thing to meet fellow countrymen from Blue Star in a world where you don't even know if you'll ever be able to go back.
This fellow villager lived only a few dozen kilometers away from her.
Especially...
He still recognizes me!?
"Good heavens, it really is you, Zhao Yushu, who has nothing but beauty and talent, right? I've heard that you made a name for yourself at Xia Yu University with that debate. Although I had already graduated by then, you really didn't hold back against the younger students at Xia Yu University. I heard that you even made one of the younger girls cry."
This Gu Jinlai.
Zhao Yushu felt a little embarrassed when she heard her nickname.
He then retorted, "I was representing Yunhai University at the time. If I had gone easy on them, wouldn't that have been disrespectful to our school, to my teammates, and to your Xia Yu University as well?"
"What you said makes so much sense, but that junior girl you argued made me cry is my roommate's girlfriend's sister. I'm the kind of person who always sides with family, not with what's right."
Gu Jinlai smiled and said something.
"Roommate?"
Zhao Yushu quickly changed the subject. "Are you a senior from Xia Yu University?"
"I graduated in the second or third year."
Gu Jinlai, he seemed to have thought of something, "But, not bad at all, the Class of '27? They came to our Xia Yu University and wreaked havoc in their sophomore year?"
"That's because my senior isn't here, otherwise I definitely wouldn't be a match for him."
As Zhao Yushu spoke, her eyes gradually reddened.
She seemed to be thinking about her time on Blue Star.
Back then, she only needed to study carefree at school. Why would she need to be like this now, constantly scheming against people whose names she doesn't even know?
Having finally gained some autonomy and achieved some success, thinking that he could somewhat control his own destiny, his Lineage members interfered again.
She didn't dare to refute it.
Because there are martial artists in this world.
A terrifying warrior.
They are truly capable of killing someone without a second thought.
They even killed members of the Lineage.
Why did she give up her position as president of the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce?
It was because of her stubborn resistance that she woke up one morning a month ago to find the head of her maid, whom she regarded as a sister, on her bedside table.
She will never forget that nightmarish scene.
Thinking of this, her body trembled slightly.
Looking at her appearance from Gu Jinlai, one can guess that she must have had a similarly difficult time when she first came into this world.
He lived in Qiantian, a relatively peaceful place, but he was always on edge for the first month or so after arriving in Changjun City. He was then pursued for almost a month before finally gaining a foothold thanks to the mysteries of the Green Lotus.
However, not everyone can possess such an inexplicable treasure as the Green Lotus.
At least Zhao Yushu in front of us, although she has traces of cultivation, is at most at the level of Organ Refining Blood Changing, and has not yet cultivated True Qi.
Don't forget, she is the vice president of the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce, and the resources she can access are not a small amount.
"It's alright, it's alright. We've already gotten through the toughest time. With your record of dominating our Xia Yu University back then, I believe you'll soon be able to make a name for yourself here."
Gu Jinlai, all we can do is offer words of comfort.
"To carve out a place for oneself... it's not that easy. People in this world don't follow the rules at all."
Zhao Yushu spoke with red eyes.
It seems that the two naturally had a certain foundation of trust due to their shared hometown and similar age.
"At least, we didn't come away empty-handed, did we?"
Gu Jinlai, looking at Zhao Yushu, he said, "Like you, although you want to dress more maturely, your real age is probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. That's equivalent to looking several years younger for no reason."
"I'd rather grow up sooner."
Zhao Yushu rubbed her youthful face, which even makeup couldn't hide. "You don't know, my father was a scumbag. He had no skills and used the name of the Feng family to philander everywhere. My mother was just an ordinary woman, and she died of a serious illness. I was only twelve years old when I first came here. I had no human rights at all. I was almost given away by that scumbag father to an old guy who could be my grandfather..."
"Twelve years old? How long have you been in this world?"
"Three... four years..."
Zhao Yushu lowered her voice a little.
Looking at her from Gu Jinlai, I really underestimated her makeup skills. I guess she's only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Have you... been here long?"
"A little longer than you."
This Gu Jinlai.
"No wonder you've become a Martial King..."
Zhao Yushu paused, as if she had finally come to her senses, and couldn't help but cheer. "Heavens, King Wu, you... you are actually King Wu!"
As she spoke, her face was full of joy, and she clasped her hands together in a pleading manner. "Senior Gu, Brother Gu, please help me, okay?"
How do you want me to help?
Gu Jinlai, the question has been, "Should we destroy the Feng family outright, or take you away from the Feng family?"
"Forehead?"
The words from Gu Jinlai made Zhao Yushu's face turn pale.
"So, if you're timid, don't try to outsmart people who are much more capable than you."
Gu Jinlai reached out and ruffled her hair without any politeness. "Do you think I can't see that your performance is a bit exaggerated? Besides, would someone who can gain a foothold in the Feng family without relying on outside forces and build the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce on their own be so naive and innocent?"
Zhao Yushu lowered her head. "I... I'm sorry... I..."
I accept your apology.
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Jinlai said something.
He could understand Zhao Yushu's little scheme of playing the "fellow townsman" card at the first opportunity.
But...
"This will not be repeated."
This Gu Jinlai.
"Senior Gu, I understand."
Zhao Yushu nodded obediently, then said, "But I have to say something... I wasn't acting just now. I was genuinely happy to see you, Senior Gu, in a place where we don't know if we'll ever be able to go back. I'm just so..."
This Gu Jinlai, however, no one interrupted her.
If he were in a difficult position and suddenly encountered a fellow human being from Blue Star who was incredibly powerful, he would naturally try to get their help.
At this moment, he recalled what he had seen in Wind and Rain City...
This system seems out of place in the broader social context.
Examples include free education, medical insurance, banks, newspapers, and so on.
He suddenly asked, "Do you think there are any other people from Blue Star who have also come to this world?"
"Are there any other Blue Star...? Before I met you, I had some guesses and doubts, and now..."
Zhao Yushu looked at Gu Jinlai, who served as a real-life example, and nodded emphatically. "Yes!"
