Bengtie: Reject the system at the beginning and become a powerful person!
Chapter 29: The End of Stagnation
The end of the world will come. It's just a matter of time.
"Father?"
Whether it was Bai Yu who had installed the synesthesia beacon, or even Schneider and Liuying who were not far away, they were all stunned by this name, and then they all turned their heads to look at Bai Yu.
Schneider's eyes were full of amusement, as if he had discovered something fun he had never experienced before. Bai Yu could not see Liuying's expression under the mecha, but at least he could not laugh.
Even through the mecha, I could still sense the chill she was emanating. Was it actually somewhat comfortable in this scorching zone?
Under the gaze of the two, Bai Yu looked at the boy in his arms helplessly and carried him upwards to get away from the scorching sea of sand under his feet. Otherwise, in a while, this child who looked only ten years old would become dehydrated and his skin would start to peel due to burns.
"I'm not your father. My name is Bai Yu. You can also call me Uncle Bai."
Bai Yu spoke helplessly, but from the shining eyes of the boy in his arms, he knew that the other party didn't believe it at all. Besides, he was in his thirties, so it was normal for a child to call him uncle.
"You must be my father!"
The little boy's tone was extremely firm, with an expression that said, "Don't try to fool me." He was not afraid of strangers and hugged Bai Yu's arm, shaking and saying,
“You said that every wind catcher who flies far away is going through a test.
In the end, they will all become tumbleweeds blessed by the gods!"
The little boy was very emotional. It seemed like he was talking to Bai Yu, but it seemed more like he was talking to himself.
As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, as if he realized something, and then a line of tears silently flowed down his face.
"You are the most powerful wind catcher, you will be fine..."
What a strong child...
Bai Yu sighed slightly in his heart, but still had no intention of taking over this identity.
Now he knew the situation. He estimated that the child's father must have fallen into the sea of sand and his body was probably cooked.
He is not heartless, but in this polar-like Salso map, it is good to be strong early.
"Uncle Bai, are you travelers coming to Tumbleweed?"
The little boy's tears dried up after a while. He no longer had the same intense emotional fluctuations as before. Instead, he sensibly wiped the tears from his face with his cotton coat, and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
This is a manifestation of not being able to fully control one's emotions.
In the early years, Sarsotu was also an energy star bordering the Milky Way. However, due to the increasingly harsh environment, the difficulty of energy extraction increased sharply, and many organizations willing to come here to mine were dispersed. The once wealthy wandering city also began to decline.
But the wandering city of Sarsotu was also a popular tourist area back then. Although it disappeared with the times, there are still many traces left by interstellar travelers in the Tumbleweed City today, so the little boy is not unfamiliar with it.
"Well, we are travelers from the stars. We have heard of the name of Sarsotu and want to see the desert and snowfield."
After listening to Bai Yu's words, the little boy's eyes finally calmed down. He lowered his head silently, and when he raised his head again, he smiled and acted cheerful. He wiped the remaining tears on his face and said to Bai Yu with a smile:
"Thank you for saving me. My name is Wilk, and I'm the best wind catcher in Tumbleweed!"
"Hello, Wilk"
……
Tumbleweed Airport is an open airport that connects the city directly to the sky. People are coming and going in the port, and many people fly down from time to time.
In the bronze city, metal equipment and steam gushed out from the tallest chimney in the entire city. Several huge windmills were turning, providing almost imperceptible energy to this huge floating city.
The energy conversion efficiency of windmills is still too low...
Bai Yu, who had been baptized by galactic knowledge, saw the flaws of this city at a glance. The main energy source, phlogiston, was insufficient, the conversion rate of wind energy alone was too low, and they didn't even know if they could use solar energy.
All these factors led to their embarrassing situation.
"Wilk, is the starship's berth also here?"
A group of people driving mechas flew above the tumbleweeds, pointing at the location of the airport from above to confirm the location.
"Yes sir, this is Tumbleweed's air port: Falck Harbor, which can accommodate no more than 500 starships stored at the same time."
Wilk, who was lifted into the air, did not show any dissatisfaction at all, and he seriously introduced the scenery of tumbleweeds to them.
"Falk Harbor is directly connected to the residential area. We usually live there. Oh! Don't worry about rolling down. Whenever an air current passes through, the airport will be directly blocked."
"See that biggest windmill? That's Mrs. Willan's house. They have the best bread in the whole Tumbleweed. Even the mayor likes the sandworm pie there."
"Behind the big windmill is the commercial district. It's the busiest place in Tumbleweed. Equipment, purchases, and even food can be traded there."
"To the east of these three places is the Tumbleweed Industrial Zone. The lifeblood of the entire city is there, and that's where the Sarsotus who don't dare to fly work. But there are very few people there, and everyone in Tumbleweed is a top-notch wind catcher."
Listening to Wilk's introduction, the three of them instantly had a general understanding of the city.
Wilk's introduction was very thorough. After just a few words, they had a clear understanding of the location of this city that was like a childhood dream.
Especially Liuying, although the sandworm pie sounds a bit scary, but what if? In Liuying's words, you have to trust Mrs. Weilang's craftsmanship.
Schneider didn't react much. He wasn't very interested in these technological buildings formed by a civilization that couldn't even break through the planets on its own. Now it seemed that energy was more attractive.
Although the appearance of this city is still quite attractive, I can find a place to punch in and send it to the traditional project department and let that dandy old man in the field see it, so that he can experience the feeling of youth.
"Okay Wilke, I'm going to stop the boat first. You go down with them and report. I don't want to be sniped from the air by you guys."
Apparently remembering something bad, Bai Yu signaled and shared the permissions of the drone carrying Wilk with Liu Ying. Then he turned into a flash of silver light and disappeared from the sight of the three people.
"Mr. Schneider, are we going straight into the city?"
Adhering to the good custom of asking when one does not understand something, Liuying flew obediently beside Schneider and asked.
Although she had little experience in going out, she was aware that landing in some places without asking clearly would cause hostility, especially since there was a senior executive of the company here.
A person's name is like the shadow of a tree. Schneider, the former unknown guest and current director of the Strategic Investment Department, is well-known to everyone in the galaxy. In order to avoid trouble, he is still cautious.
It was the first time that Wilk heard Firefly speak under the mecha. He was surprised by the voice. It sounded like a girl of the same age as himself?
Actually, this is not the case. Although Liuying awakened three years ago and received basic education from Baiyu, and physically looks to be fifteen or sixteen years old, her actual mental age may not be as old as the experienced Wilk.
Under Wilk's guidance, the three found a larger empty space at the airport. Since no one came to travel now, a lot of debris had accumulated here.
Wilk looked at his two saviors with a wry smile, and Schneider untied his rope. After he was freed and returned to his familiar territory, Wilk seemed to be alive again. His abundant energy made Liuying wonder whether the emo person in Baiyu's arms before was the same person.
"Plank! Your stuff is taking up space! Tumbleweed has a guest!"
The three sentences were shouted loudly and spread quickly throughout the entire Falk Port. This place was not big to begin with, but now everyone knew about it.
"Oh my, my little ancestor, where have you been all these years..."
A nimble but thin middle-aged man came out from the corner of the airport. His originally carefree expression changed instantly when he saw the mecha behind Wilk.
"Hey, we really have guests, brothers! Let's celebrate, Tumbleweed welcomes the first guest of this year!"
The voice of this sentence was much louder than Wilk's. Several men near the airport also put down their work and came to greet him with smiles on their faces. Even the wind catcher who had just finished catching the wind and returned to the airport heard the arrival of the traveler and rushed over without even taking off his wing suit.
"Welcome, my friend!"
"Where are you going to stay tonight? Bangbo Inn will definitely give you the best treatment!"
"Remember to try Old Nut's beer when you have time. It's a treasure that you will never get enough of."
Amid a round of welcome, Bai Yu followed Liuying's positioning and jumped down from the air, then changed into his mecha form.
Seeing yet another traveler descending from the sky and making such a cool appearance, the noise around them became louder.
"Okay, okay, the guests will stay here for a while, so please go away first."
Planck stood up straight, clapped his hands briefly to silence the noise around him, cleared his throat and decided on his next course of action.
It seems that this guy has considerable prestige here?
Bai Yu, who had just arrived, didn't care about that. He ignored Planck's almost sticky look and asked where the municipal government was in Wilk.
Seeing that Bai Yu ignored him, Planck was very slick. He retracted his half-extended hand, pointed at the retreating crowd beside him, and called two people to help carry the luggage.
There was no need for them to be polite. Schneider went forward to negotiate, and after he politely refused, Planck's expression didn't change, as if he wouldn't be angry. He handed them a voucher, enthusiastically recommended the Nut Tavern to them, and then turned and left.
Wilk looked at Bai Yu helplessly, motioned him to squat down, then leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"Uncle Planck is not a bad person. He is just like this towards strangers. His enthusiasm is a little strange. He has no ill intentions."
Bai Yu nodded slightly. Wilk was going to go home later to report his safety to his mother. He almost died in the sea of sand during this flight. His flying skills were so poor that even Bai Yu, who had only seen the wind catchers returning to the port from afar, could see it at a glance.
His mother must have known this, which was why she did not agree with him flying. He must have concealed his rash take-off on purpose this time, and he would definitely be criticized when he got home.
Although Liuying still has some social anxiety, she thought that she would have to live here for a while and it would be inappropriate to keep wearing a mecha, so she canceled her transformation.
Wilk was walking home and just turned around to say something when he saw this scene and was unable to walk for a moment.
There is no other reason. As a native of Sarsotu, everyone's hair color is brown or brown. Even the people in the neighboring wandering city have yellow hair. I have never seen such beautiful silver-white long hair as Liuying.
Not only her hair color was eye-catching, but Liuying's appearance was also full of the beautiful feeling unique to young girls. With a look of about fifteen or sixteen years old and an ignorant look in her eyes, Wilk had to admit that he was moved.
"Well...if you are worried, you can come and stay at my house."
Fortunately, although he was moved, Wilk's psychological quality was still good, and he said what he wanted to say before.
Growing up in Sarsotu where the folk customs are simple, this young man obviously can't hide his thoughts. Even if he is talking about serious matters, it is just a trick in front of the two old men. When he saw Schneider, he couldn't help but smile like an auntie.
Bai Yu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The child is three years old and has been noticed by another boy. How can I persuade him to stop without the girl hating him? Urgent, waiting online!
But after thinking about it, he only has a little emotional foundation with Wilk. Logically speaking, he is his savior. Although this kid is strong, he has a simple mind. If he lives with him, he will feel a little more at ease.
Bai Yu, who had made up his mind, discussed it with the two and agreed directly. Liu Ying did not understand Wilk's meaning at all, and all the little boy's courtesy along the way was in vain...
Facts have proved that having a local acquaintance is indeed a lot more convenient. Without opening the map, Bai Yu can rely on his brain to avoid getting lost. Schneider has sufficient pioneering experience and will never sleep on the streets. Liuying will probably just stand there stupidly with her eyes wide open.
Seeing Liuying's embarrassment, Wilk considerately walked out of his usual path and took the main road.
Although it is a main road, the alleys in the residential area are still quite narrow. However, a walkway of 1.2 meters is the width of the main road, not to mention the small alleys.
As it turned out, Liuying was not a person with a poor sense of direction, at least not when it came to the main road. After just a few turns, she was even able to point out the way to Falk Port by recalling the previous road conditions.
Well, under normal circumstances, I won't lose myself...
Looking at Liuying's expression of "I'm so smart", Baiyu nodded with satisfaction.
By the way, I talked to the little girl about the operating logic of this city and the uses of some conspicuous mechanical structures.
I heard that the little girl was quite dissatisfied, but the little boy was quite happy.
Wilk, who no longer followed Liuying, looked at Bai Yu, who was pointing and talking in the residential area, with starry eyes and said with envy:
"Mr. Bai, you know a lot~"
