The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 229
Chapter 229 Make A Friend
At noon on July 3, 2030, in the banquet hall of Heavenly Rock Town.
Lin Xu and Tan Yong were sitting on the same table, looking at the sumptuous lunch in front of them and the few people sitting on the table. They were once again shocked.
The two of them had long since lost their pride when they first arrived. At this moment, they were already extremely shocked. This paradise-like small town had given them too much shock.
Not to mention the other things, the strength of the evolvers left them stunned. It was simply a perverted concentration camp. Since they entered the town, there had been dozens of Tier 4 cultivators that they had seen or encountered and sensed.
The originally arrogant two no longer had the slightest bit of arrogance. The six people who were currently eating with them were all Tier 4, and all of them possessed elemental energy.
The leader was a fairy-like woman. This person was naturally Ji Ruoxue. In fact, she had arranged this luncheon meticulously.
From the dishes to the people accompanying them, they were considered to be the highest standards in Heavenly Rock Town, except for Lin Xu and Tan Yong.
On this side of Heavenly Rock Town, there were Ji Ruoxue, Zhou Xin, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, Fang Mubai, Zhao Kai, and the others sitting on the table.
Looking at this fairy-like woman, Lin Xu couldn’t help but wonder what kind of person this Rock King was.
The apocalypse had only lasted for over a month. In less than two months, such a powerful direct descendant had actually been cultivated.
As well as such a perfect companion, the other party had just introduced her. This woman was the Rock King’s woman. Her name was Ji Ruoxue, and her elementium ability coincidentally matched her own. She was a water elementium.
The other five were also extremely extraordinary. Three of them, as well as an officer in his thirties, were all metal-attribute abilities. There was also a young man who was an earth-attribute ability.
Eight people sat down and the food was already served. Ji Ruoxue raised her chopsticks and said, “It’s guests from afar. Young Master Lin, Young Master Tan, please.”
The two of them immediately waved their hands and said, “Minister Ji, you’re flattering me. What Young Master? It’s already the end of the world, so how can there be any Young Master?”
Ji Ruoxue said calmly, “Since this is the end of the world, we shouldn’t be pretending anymore. Let’s start.”
After he finished speaking, he was the first to move the chopsticks. Only then did everyone start moving. The dishes on the table were extremely delicate.
In other words, they were all things that could not be seen before the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse, they were extremely rare things, mutated fish and shrimp, and mutated beasts in the mountains.
Lin Xu and Tan Yong were the disciples of the eight great generals of the north. What kind of banquet had they not eaten before? At this moment, they had put their minds on the meaning of this meal.
In fact, they had originally strolled all morning and saw a small town that looked like a peach garden outside the world. In the small town, experts were like clouds, ample armaments, agriculture was developed, and there were countless fertile fields. It was simply a perfect town.
Perfect to the point that Lin Xu also wanted such a small town. He even thought that he would build such a small town after returning.
However, that was after they returned. Right now, the two of them were thinking to themselves, it was the Rock King’s wife. What was the point of letting them eat?
Seeing this battle, the two of them actually had some foundation in their hearts. They estimated that they were either familiar with each other or had something to do in the northern region.
Apart from these two aspects, the two of them couldn’t think of any other reason. Whether it was in terms of strength or power, there was no need for the other party to show favor to them.
As expected, when everyone was about to eat, the other party spoke.
Ji Ruoxue said thoughtfully, “I heard Zhou Xin say that the two of you are the Lin Family and the Tan Family of the Northern Military Region. Furthermore, judging from your temperament, you have the arrogance of a young noble family.”
Lin Xu said, “Haha, what kind of aristocratic family is young? Minister Ji is joking.”
Ji Ruoxue smiled faintly and said, “You don’t have to deny that you, who were originally far away in the north, have nothing to do with our Heavenly Rock Town.”
“However, since you are able to come here today, it can be said that you are destined to be with the Rock King and Heavenly Rock Town.”
“Since we are destined to meet, why don’t we make friends? Therefore, I intentionally invited you to lunch today. I wonder what the two young masters think.”
Lin Xu looked at the fairy-like beauty in front of him. When he heard his words, he was already worried. He asked playfully, “Not only Minister Ji, do you want to make friends with us, or with the family behind us?”
Ji Ruoxue chuckled and said, “Since Young Master Lin has asked this question, then let me be frank. Whether it’s Young Master Lin or Young Master Lin’s family, we can all make friends. The key lies in Young Master Lin or Young Master Lin’s family.”
Lin Xu and Tan Yong’s hearts trembled once again. Ji Ruoxue’s words were filled with unparalleled confidence.
Ji Ruoxue’s words were also very clear. She meant that regardless of whether it was you, Lin Xu, or your Lin and Tan families, my Heavenly Rock Town has the ability and qualifications to make friends with you.
The last sentence depends on him, Young Master Lin, and he is extremely confident. The implication is that you can not make friends with us, but you must regret it, Young Master Lin or the Lin and Tan families.
Lin Xu frowned slightly. He had already made a decision in his heart. He said, “Minister Ji, it’s a pleasure to talk. I can’t beat you about the matters in the clan, but I’m still willing to make friends with the Rock King and everyone else.”
Ji Ruoxue said calmly, “Since that’s the case, let’s make Young Master Lin our friend first. I wonder how Young Master Tan is thinking about it.”
Tan Yong immediately said, “Of course, I, Tan Yong, am willing to make friends with the Rock King and the others.”
Ji Ruoxue continued, “Alright, then since you’re a friend, there’s something that I’m afraid I need a friend to take action on.”
“Of course, even if you are friends, I will not let you make a move in vain. After the matter is completed, we will definitely thank you very much.”
Lin Xu and Tan Yong said. They were coming. This was the rhythm of the transaction. The tone they heard was likely to be looking for someone.
Lin Xu was vigilant in his heart, but he said calmly, “I don’t know, Minister Ji, what do you need us to do?”
Ji Ruoxue said seriously, “It’s very simple for you to make a move. It’s just to help find some people.”
Lin Xu was puzzled, “Who is it?”
Ji Ruoxue said, “Qiangzi, give them the list.”
Hearing this, Qiangzi quickly pulled out a book from his pocket. Not only was there a portrait on the book, there were also text descriptions. The book was not too thick, it only had dozens of pages. In other words, there were dozens of people.
Lin Xu flipped through the book and looked at it casually. He discovered that all the people he was looking for were at least forty years old.
Lin Xu’s mind lit up, and he understood the identities of these people.
Ji Ruoxue said again, “Find them and protect them. When the Rock King arrives, you will receive unimaginable rewards.”
Lin Xu’s heart skipped a beat. This was an opportunity. Lin Xu immediately said, “Since we are friends, Young Master Tan and I will do our best to find them. However, this is the end of the world. Whether we can find them or how many people we can find depends on their good fortune.”
Ji Ruoxue said seriously, “Of course, regardless of whether you find it or not, as long as you are sure that Young Master Lin, Young Master Tan, and you are looking for it with all your heart, you will obtain our friendship …”
After dinner, Ji Ruoxue and the others naturally wouldn’t stay with Lin Xu and Tan Yong anymore. It was time for them to return to the Northern Military Region.
Zhou Xin, Qiangzi, and Wang Yang personally sent them to the white stone bridge. Lin Xu and Tan Yong looked at the small town behind the bridge, as if it was another life.
This morning’s encounter, everything he saw, everything he heard, everything was like a dream. However, a book in Lin Xu’s arms let him clearly know that everything was not a dream.
“Buzz buzz!”
Lin Xu and Tan Yong drove out of Heavenly Rock Town and shot out at high speed. The two of them were in the car, as if they were still chatting about something.
Tan Yong asked doubtfully, “Young Master Lin, why are you so straightforward? Promise them.”
Lin Xu laughed in his heart, “Haha, you don’t understand. I’m different from you. You are the sole successor of your family, but you know the situation of our family.”
“Even if I am the eldest son, the position of Clan Master Lin isn’t that good. My younger brother is as fierce as a tiger.”
Tan Yong was even more puzzled, “What does that have to do with this Heavenly Rock Town?”
Lin Xu smiled and said, “Haha, of course it’s related. Do you remember how the Northern Military Region first received information about Rock King Zhu Yifan?”
Tan Yong’s heart skipped a beat. “It seems to be saying that in a battle with one person, killing a Sparrow King, killing a Rat King and killing two Queen Ants is bullshit. At that time, he probably didn’t have a Fourth Grade, right?”
Lin Xu said seriously, “Bullshit? I don’t think so. After seeing Heavenly Rock Town, do you still think those messages are bullshit?”
“Have you forgotten what we’ve seen and heard this morning? There might be exaggeration in it, but I’m sure it’s definitely not a lie.”
“There is no denying that the Rock King’s combat strength must be astonishing. Otherwise, why would he be able to subdue those dozens of Fourth Grades?”
“Even in the current situation, the Rock King has disappeared from the ruins for several days. The upper echelons of Heavenly Rock Town are all as stable as Mount Tai. This is a manifestation of their incomparable trust in the strength and abilities of the Rock King.”
“Everything I’ve seen and heard in Heavenly Rock Town makes me incomparably sure that the Rock King has an extremely unique cultivation technique in his hands. He can cultivate independently without needing to break through the Evil Core, or assist the core to reach the Fourth Grade.”
“I am not the only successor of the Lin Family. I need this help. If I can obtain the friendship of the Rock King, then I, the successor of the Lin Family, will be stable.”
“As for you, Tan Yong, have you ever thought that the status of the Tan Clan has risen so much in your hands?”
After Lin Xu said this, Tan Yong’s heart was filled with fantasies. However, he still asked, “Young Master Lin, it seems like there’s something interesting to hear from you. However, with such a small matter, the Rock King’s wife won’t forget it in the blink of an eye, right?”
Lin Xu sighed and said, “You can forget about other things. I’m sure that the Rock King, including his wife, and even his subordinates will not forget about this matter.”
“Go back this time and concentrate on this matter. In the future, you will definitely be glad that we are lucky to have entered Heavenly Rock Town today.”
