After docking the ship and paying a few fees, Lin Feng and the others took the Alliance passage down to the planet's surface.
On the ground, they discovered that the red they had seen from space came from the color of the land and the haphazard paint jobs on the metal buildings.
It looked much as it had the first time Lin Feng visited: neon lights flickered along bustling streets that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Life-forms of every description passed back and forth, filling the air with the lively clamor of languages they couldn't understand.
Countless enormous shops floated overhead, along with the familiar old-fashioned suspension bridges built in an alien style.
Beneath the bridges was that same nauseating, unidentified liquid, a mixture of blue and black.
On his first visit, Lin Feng had wondered whether he should develop this place for tourism someday. Looking back, he really had been young.
The Alliance had probably done that ages ago!
"Wow... Oh!" Lin Jili's eyes sparkled as she gazed at everything before her.
The others were no better. Susan was so excited that she kept squeezing Lin Feng's arm.
What an eye-opener, guys! Their first visit to a planet inhabited by alien life!
They could brag about this for the rest of their lives!
Of the group, only Lin Feng remained completely unfazed.
He took out a few small bottles and handed them around.
He had spent some Reputation Points on Language Universal Potions so Lin Jili could greet their alien "friends."
"Here, everyone, drink up. Then you'll be able to understand what they're saying!"
Come to think of it, Lin Feng had almost forgotten that the System Shop also offered a universal language skill.
After drinking the potions, everyone followed Lin Feng across the old-fashioned bridge
