Chapter 783: Chapter 785: Blue Star Full of Acquaintances
Zhao Dimei’s excitement was known to no one.
After containing her excitement for a short while, she stopped talking about it, but she understood something clearly—she hadn’t just been lucky to win; someone had been helping her.
All the people had landed on Blue Star aboard Lin Mu’s Starship, and she had arranged for the more than three thousand newcomers in a familiar, yet somewhat different manner.
The similarity was that they were still to collect their own materials to build houses, but the difference lay in the fact that their new homes would not be near the small wooden house.
Not only were they not near the small wooden house, but they had started heading to other, newer, far-off parts of Blue Star.
More than three thousand people were divided into several groups, and with a portion of them, they took Blue Star’s established aerial transportation to the places where they would live and thrive in the future.
After settling these people, Lin Mu arranged for the mentor and Zhao Dimei to stay nearby—they actually stayed not far from the small wooden house.
Upon arrival at Blue Star, the location of the legendary Little River Live, Zhao Dimei could hardly express her excitement.
She felt her two eyes weren’t enough to take it all in, comparing herself to a sea turtle that people insisted was a land turtle, stuck living on the shore.
But after arriving on Blue Star, Zhao Dimei felt as if every pore of her body had opened up—this was her true home.
Looking at the expanse of land, she felt a love that reached deep into her bones.
“Sister-in-law, what do you like to do?”
Lin Mu had barely asked before she got her answer.
“I love to farm.”
Zhao Dimei’s eyes held a visible fervor as she excitedly said, “Can I farm? I love doing this kind of work. I had a plot at the school before, and I really took good care of it.”
“Sure, you can,” Lin Mu immediately replied. “We have plenty of land here on Blue Star.”
“I’ll arrange a plot for you later.”
“Alright, alright, I’m going to wander around first.”
Lin Mu watched Zhao Dimei wave her hand casually at him, then she headed to the rice field opposite and began weeding.
She truly didn’t want to take a single break and seemed extremely happy with the work.
Watching this scene unfold, Lin Mu said with a touch of emotion, “It’s over, Ha Ha has met their match.”
Here was another person willing to work hard.
Lin Mu turned and left to check on how the others were settling in.
On the other side, the balding mentor soon stumbled upon an acquaintance: Elder Hua.
However, Elder Hua, presently next to Uncle Long, seemed troubled, tugging at Uncle Long’s sleeve like a young wife.
“No, Boss told me to keep an eye on you, you can’t drink.”
“Just one sip.”
“Get lost!” Elder Hua cursed outright, almost blowing his beard off in anger.
“Last time you said the same, and you drank a whole jar!” Recalling the tormented history of recent times, Elder Hua felt as though his heart had received ample exercise, infuriated to the point of congestion daily.
“Alright, alright, don’t get worked up. If you die of anger, that little girl will come after me.”
“Seriously, the little girl must think you’re getting old and in poor health, so she intentionally tasked you with keeping me in line, knowing I’m too soft-hearted.”
Uncle Long had embarked on this analysis countless times, and it no longer phased Elder Hua.
“Elder Hua?”
The calling from the balding mentor made Elder Hua turn his way, a question forming in his mind.
“Do you know me?”
“Xiao Hua’s not quite right in the head,” Uncle Long said in a timely manner, pointing at Elder Hua’s head and shaking his head.
The bald master across from them didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Was he supposed to question what ghostly nickname “Xiao Hua” was, or why Elder Hua was here and didn’t recognize him anymore?
Boss Long looked at the two men and said bluntly, “You two seem to be old acquaintances, why don’t you have a chat while I take a stroll.”
After saying that, Boss Long was about to leave, but Elder Hua couldn’t dare to let him go alone.
The painful lessons of the past reminded him that letting Boss Long go off by himself was not a good idea, especially since Uncle Long, with his insatiable curiosity and unfathomable abilities, was just too unpredictable to control.
“Master, my brain has suffered an injury, and I can’t remember the past for the moment,” Elder Hua said to the bald master. “It’s very likely that you know me, but right now, I don’t have the time to talk. Let’s postpone this conversation until I’m free.”
Turning around, Elder Hua hurried after Boss Long, who was walking away disapprovingly, glancing back at Elder Hua. Other than a few words, he did nothing else.
The bald master, still watching from behind, was beginning to doubt one thing: Was this man truly Elder Hua?
According to his calculations, Elder Hua should be close to four hundred years old by now, and to be alive at such an age was already quite an accomplishment.
But this agile old man, speedy in his movements, did not at all fit the image of a four-hundred-year-old elder.
What the master didn’t know was that Nian Shutong had concocted an elixir for Elder Hua that improved his bodily functions, but this was the extent of its power—it couldn’t account for such significant abilities.
Nian Shutong’s order for Elder Hua to watch over Boss Long meant that the two were likely to spend a lot of time together.
Boss Long, who carried the entire Blue Star’s dragon lineage, possessed a powerful blessing. If he wished well for Elder Hua, then Elder Hua’s life on Blue Star was sure to improve.
This was the reason Nian Shutong had arranged for the two to be together.
Although Boss Long seemed quite disapproving of Elder Hua, he knew who was good and who wasn’t, so they were more like a pair of old friends who mutually disdained each other.
Regardless, the bald master found himself settling into life on Blue Star, at least for the time being.
When he met the Emperor and the Empress that evening, he had no idea what expression he should have on his face, especially when the Empress said to him, “Just call me Sister Huang.”
“Sister Huang, Brother Huang,” greeted the bald master, suppressing the multitude of doubts in his heart.
However, the Emperor was not pleased and said, “Call me brother-in-law, not Brother Huang.”
“Hehehe, you are right, Sister Huang, Brother-in-law Huang.”
The Emperor was then satisfied.
The master began his slightly bizarre Blue Star life.
Meanwhile, Nian Shutong had also led a few people to an Insect Clan Battlefield.
“Professor Nian, are we…?”
Zhou Zhen looked around the Border City, familiar yet unfamiliar. It had been many years since his last visit.
“We’re going into actual combat. No matter what the Planet Master of Gravity Star is like, having fundamental strength is essential, isn’t it?”
Zhou Zhen wanted to agree, but recalling the content of previous contests, he hesitated to confirm.
Right now, he was even more concerned about the safety of the students.
“Professor Nian, has your strength returned to normal?”
“No, I’m currently useless and unable to provide the help you need.”
Nian Shutong’s words led Professor Zhou to glance at Qing next to him, who immediately shook her head and said, “I’m hardly able to protect myself.”
Professor Zhou: Why do you say that with such pride?
