"Captain, where are you?"
Zhou Meng shouted loudly as he walked inside. After passing through the reception hall and a long corridor, he finally found the person he was looking for in the garden.
It was a silver-haired old man dressed in blue and white striped clothes.
The old man was holding a kettle in his hand. He was bending over and carefully watering the flower bed. He looked meticulous, as if he didn't hear Zhou Meng's shouts at all. He was unmoved.
When Zhou Meng saw this, he didn't go forward to disturb him. He just stood there quietly, patiently waiting for the old man to finish watering the flowers. Zhou Lin and Duan Yuxin, who were walking behind Zhou Meng, couldn't help but look at each other. Neither of them spoke.
After a while, when there wasn't a single drop of water left in the kettle, the old man finally stopped watering the flowers. He slowly straightened his body and looked at Zhou Meng. He said calmly, "I've already told you many times, don't call me captain anymore."
"Captain."
Zhou Meng smiled and still called him captain. "I've brought two juniors from my family to visit you."
Hearing this, the old man's gaze slowly shifted to Zhou Lin and Duan Yuxin. After a moment of sizing them up, he said to Zhou Meng, "They're both good seedlings."
Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Meng chuckled and said to the old man, "Captain, the two of them have just returned from the Unfettered Secret Territory."
"The Unfettered Secret Territory." A trace of nostalgia flashed in the old man's eyes. "That's a very dangerous place."
In the eyes of those who had never been to the Unfettered Mystery Realm, the Unfettered Mystery Realm was a blessed land, a good place full of opportunities. However, in the eyes of those who had really entered the Unfettered Mystery Realm and experienced some things, the Unfettered Mystery Realm was definitely an extremely dangerous place. The slightest carelessness could lead to death.
The old man walked to a bench at the side and sat down. He said to Zhou Meng, "Why did you bring the two of them here today?"
Zhou Meng walked to the old man's side and said, "Captain, a lot of things happened in the Unfettered Secret Territory. Let the two of them tell you about it."
Before meeting Zhou Lin, Zhou Meng had already learned about what happened in the Carefree Secret Realm through Hei City's intelligence system. However, he didn't know much about the details. This time, he brought Zhou Lin here to tell the old man in detail about what happened in the Carefree Secret Realm.
At Zhou Meng's signal, Zhou Lin sat down in front of the old man and began to recount what had happened in the Unfettered Secret Realm.
When she mentioned that Zerg had arrived at the Carefree Secret Realm through the teleportation channel, the old man's emotionless face finally showed some changes.
"Millions of years have passed. Has Zerg finally appeared again?"
The old man looked at Zhou Lin with a slightly complicated expression. "You were able to walk out of the Carefree Secret Realm alive under the threat of Zerg. Not bad."
After the old man sighed with emotion, Zhou Lin continued her previous narration. When she mentioned what Qinchuan had done, the old man's face changed again. He looked at Zhou Lin in surprise and asked, "Are you sure you remember correctly? That young man named Qinchuan really defeated Zerg alone?"
Zhou Lin nodded, "It's true."
After getting a positive answer, the old man said with some relief, "A hero comes from a young man. Not bad, not bad.
What else? "
Obviously, the old man was now very interested in what happened in the Carefree Secret Realm. He began to take the initiative to ask about what happened next.
When he heard Zhou Lin say that Qinchuan had entered the Carefree House, the old man's face suddenly became very excited. He asked Zhou Lin, "What did he get in the Carefree House?"
"Other than some elixirs, there was nothing else. The three treasures in the Carefree House were all obtained by other people. I was lucky to get one."
"You got one too?"
This time, the person who spoke was Zhou Meng. He did not know that Zhou Lin had obtained a treasure, so he was very surprised.
Zhou Lin nodded and said, "The treasure I got is called the Metal Origin. I don't know what it does."
"So it's the Metal Origin."
The old man seemed to know about the Metal Origin. He looked at Zhou Lin and said, "Little girl, your luck is not bad."
Zhou Lin hurriedly asked, "Senior, you know about the Metal Origin?"
The old man nodded and replied, "The Metal Origin is not a treasure, but a kind of natural origin. It may not be very useful in battle, but it is very beneficial to your future. As for the specific benefits, you will have to figure it out yourself."
Zhou Lin thought for a moment and said to the old man, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
"Alright, let's continue talking."
This time, the old man did not interrupt Zhou Lin. He waited until Zhou Lin finished talking, then looked at Zhou Lin with a subtle gaze and said, "The young man called Qinchuan is very talented and has great luck. To be able to obtain a consul's leg at this stage will be very beneficial to his future.
However, high rewards are also accompanied by high risks. An ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring will arouse the envy of others. This young man has obtained such an amazing treasure. If it is not handled properly, it may cause a disaster. "
Zhou Meng listened to the old man and asked, "Captain, what do you think of Qinchuan?"
The old man turned to look at Zhou Meng and said seriously, "If this young man doesn't die, he will have great achievements in a hundred years."
Zhou Meng looked at the old man deeply and said, "Captain, do you remember the call I gave you more than a year ago?
I told you that I found a good seedling. That good seedling is Qinchuan! "
Hearing Zhou Meng's words, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, but soon dimmed again. He shook his head and said to Zhou Meng, "I'm old, I don't have such thoughts."
"Captain, you're old but not old. I know you've always wanted to come out. Maybe this is your chance."
Zhou Meng said seriously to the old man, "Lin Lin's leg meat from Qinchuan can definitely help you change your body, cure your chronic disease, and return to the peak!"
"Zhou Meng, that's your daughter's thing. It's not yours, and it's not mine." The old man shook his head again, "Don't say anymore, I've made up my mind."
Seeing the old man's firm attitude, Zhou Meng's face couldn't help but show a touch of sadness. At this moment, Zhou Lin suddenly said, "I remember that those who have made great contributions to Black City can ask for any reward from Black City. If you want to change your body and cure your chronic disease, I think Heavenly Pure Water is more suitable."
Zhou Meng smiled bitterly, "Heavenly Pure Water is rare in the world. Captain, what you need is not a small amount. We don't have so many merits to exchange with Black City."
"You don't, but I do."
Zhou Lin looked at Zhou Meng deeply, "I forgot to tell you that I also got the key to the Unfettered Secret Territory!"
