Cassell's trio had a packed itinerary.
After resting for the night at the hotel arranged by the Japan branch, they were woken by the waitstaff early in the morning and sent to the restaurant for breakfast.
Lu Mingfei, who had not slept well to begin with and had gone through a real-life Fast and Furious experience last night, had originally wanted to sleep in.
"The Japan branch's car is already waiting downstairs at the hotel," Chu Zihang reminded him.
Judging from the faxed documents they had received during breakfast, every moment of today, including meals, had been arranged down to the last detail.
This was why Lu Mingfei did not particularly like Japan's work culture.
It was like a machine, with every moment calculated and packed full.
Inside the car.
After tidying his bird's nest of hair, Lu Mingfei gazed at the scenery outside the window.
To be honest, he had not figured out what to do next. Should he go kill Tachibana Masamune ahead of time?
Who knew which one was his true body? He would not show himself until the very moment he harvested the fruit.
Besides, it would be rather difficult for Lu Mingfei alone.
Erii.
The girl's ending in the story had broken his heart. If possible, he hoped he could protect her this time.
But what kind of feelings did he have for her?
Lu Mingfei had not figured that out either. He felt a little uneasy, a little nervous.
He patted his own face.
Wake up, Lu Mingfei. You have not even gone inside or met her, and you are already thinking about someone else's little sister.
You have not even seen a photo of her.
There was too much to do. What should I do?
"Hm?" Lu Mingfei noticed through the reflection in the car window that the others were looking at him. "What are you looking at me for?"
"I just feel like you're a little excited today." Caesar raised an eyebrow and lounged lazily against the leather seat. "Like a child excited on the night before a spring outing."
"Unless something unexpected happens, you won't be able to go to Akihabara today."
Lu Mingfei fell silent for two seconds before saying, "That really is a shame."
At the foot of the Genji Heavy Industries building, wrapped in iron-black glass curtain walls, Gen Chisei's assistant, Yabuki Sakura, had long been waiting at the entrance to receive them.
She began telling them about the history of the Genji Heavy Industries building.
Bored out of his mind, Lu Mingfei followed behind the group while taking out the Chat Group to check its messages.
It was more convenient than a phone since he did not need to worry about looking down and missing the road ahead.
Hm? A gathering?
He absolutely had to experience this whole world-traveling thing.
"Sorry, Miss Yabuki. Where's the restroom?"
"Turn right up ahead." Yabuki Sakura pointed toward a corner decorated with several potted plants.
"President, Senior Brother, sorry. Nature calls."
He would come back after figuring out what to do in the future.
Come to think of it, should he visit the author of Dragon Raja and ask them to update faster, then find out what happened later?
What exactly was Lu Mingfei?
Shirou Emiya came out of the convenience store and scratched his head. He had planned to go home and prepare dinner first, unaware that Miss Tohsaka had arrived at his doorstep carrying a suitcase.
As he passed by the park, he saw a purple figure swinging alone on a swing.
So he privately messaged Xiao Yan.
Shirou Emiya: "Brother Xiao, I want to ask Yao Lao to examine my younger sister's physical condition. Is that okay?"
Xiao Yan: "No problem. Teacher agreed."
Shirou Emiya: "Brother Su, can I bring a family member?"
Su Lin: "That's fine. Luffy brought one of his companions over to hang out last time too."
Shirou Emiya: "Okay, thank you."
After saying that, he went offline to do who knew what.
Xiao Yan: "You're the first brat here to bring a girlfriend."
Ye Fan: "What about your snake?"
Xiao Yan: ".."
Su Lin: ".."
Luffy: "Uh, maybe next time. I really want to come and throw a feast, but something happened on this island."
Zhongli: "Very well. Then I shall trouble you, Mr. Su Lin."
Su Lin: "No need to be so polite. Just call me Su Lin."
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were refining pills in a mountain range filled with green hills and clear waters.
"Oh, we're going to another world again? Last time, I left in too much of a hurry and did not get to properly discuss the art of medicinal theory with several friends from other worlds. This time, I can stay for a few more days."
Thanks to the Chat Group's help, Xiao Yan's strength had now reached Two-Star Dou Ling.
The three-year agreement? A few days ago, he had suppressed his strength to roughly Nalan Yanran's level and won the match with ease.
However, the Misty Cloud Sect's Grand Elder seemed unwilling to accept it and looked like he wanted to cause trouble.
Xiao Yan had merely sneered at that. He returned to Wutan City soon afterward and waited for them to make their move.
If they did not come, he would not vent his anger over events that had not happened merely because of a novel.
But if they came, then heh.
Still, Yun Shan had probably already colluded with the Soul Palace by now. The Xiao Clan would likely run into some trouble regardless.
The aged medicinal herbs he had bought wholesale from Han Li were just about used up as well, so he needed to gather some more nearby.
It was just that Xiao Yan turned his head to glance at Queen Medusa, who was lying on a rock in the distance and basking in the sun.
Emmm.
Why had she not switched Little Cai out yet?
Little Cai, if you still do not come out, do not blame me for not taking you to eat good food this time.
Su Lin looked over the current state of his home, Water Mirror Peak.
Computers, potato chips, instant noodles, all sorts of snacks, and drinks were scattered everywhere. In any case, Historical Projection could help clean up.
It would be better to gather outside first.
On a stone table by Water Mirror Lake, Su Lin placed some spiritual tea he had acquired not long ago.
With the help of Han Li's Little Green Bottle, the spiritual tea trees grew quickly.
The tea trees had naturally been a friendly contribution from Ye Fan. Come to think of it, perhaps he would have the chance to plant an Enlightenment Tree here in the future.
They did not have to wait long before a portal opened at the edge of the lake on Water Mirror Peak.
Everyone arrived one after another.
There were three new faces this time.
One man wore loose black robes, his braided hair tied casually behind his head. The morning sunlight shone through it, bringing out a faint brown color. His eyes gleamed gold, and his gentle demeanor carried an equal measure of authority.
One young man wore a T-shirt and jeans, surveying his surroundings somewhat timidly, his eyes full of curiosity.
Su Lin thought, I don't even need to guess to know who they are.
Another slightly plump but pleasant-looking man in a suit stepped onto Water Mirror Peak. Su Lin froze for a moment before remembering that this was Zhou Mingrui's appearance.
"I am Zhongli."
"I'm Lu Mingfei."
"Klein. Of course, you can also call me Zhou Mingrui."
After everyone introduced themselves, they saw that the partner of Justice had yet to arrive, so they accepted Su Lin's invitation to sit down and chat first.
After some thought, Su Lin placed a pile of junk food on the table, along with takeout he had previously had a projection run errands to bring back.
After all, Klein had only just become a Sequence Four Demigod. He could not use Historical Projection to recreate food he had eaten before.
After so long, he must have missed the taste of home.
Although a certain Great Emperor Luo had "invented" quite a few things, they were more or less incomplete.
"Is this Earth from a parallel world?" Klein curiously examined his surroundings, only to find that they did not seem much like the Earth he remembered.
"This is Old Su's sect, floating ten thousand meters above the city." Ye Fan explained to Klein. "The city below is Ledu."
"There are three portals over there." Su Lin pointed in the distance. "They lead to Rong City, Anqing, and Ledu respectively."
"If you want to visit the city later, go that way."
"I would also like to experience this world's urban customs and culture." Zhongli took a sip of tea before speaking. "Brother Zhou, shall we go together later?"
"No problem."
Klein's purpose was to experience modern life again after so long. If possible, he wanted to buy some things and take them back to see whether they could be mass-produced.
Like bicycles, for example. That would presumably be a fine industry and earn quite a few gold pounds.
