Chapter 101 Bubble Civilization? (Seeking First Subscription)
"What's your name?"
"I asked, expressionless."
"Liu Bai".
Because the counter was too low, Liu Bai had to bend down to face the dwarf.
"What civilization do you come from?"
"Human civilization on Earth".
Do you have any unique characteristics?
"have!"
"How did you get here?"
How do I get here?
Remembering Zhao Li's instructions, Liu Bai said, "The elders delivered it using their own abilities."
After clicking through the screen in front of him, the dwarf picked up a token and handed it to Liu Bai, saying, "Your characteristics will be tested once you go in. Go to the testing station and queue up."
After saying that, he took out a flowchart and gave it to Liu Bai.
"OK, thanks."
Liu Bai took the two items and headed towards the waiting area following the large red sign above his head.
About two minutes later, Liu Bai walked through the corridor and came to a spacious hall.
All sorts of creatures stood, floated, and lay in the hall, which was completely devoid of any facilities.
In front of the hall were dozens of light gates, each with an alien number above it.
Liu Bai glanced at his number.
"239"
On the light gate, the most recent number has reached two hundred.
There are ten light gates, and four more rounds until it reaches him.
Liu Bai scanned the area around him, then found a corner and stood quietly.
Almost all those who can get here are individuals with special abilities from their own civilization.
These individuals with special abilities are likely one in a billion within their own civilization.
Liu Bai couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be someone with even more extraordinary abilities than him.
After all, the Milky Way is really too big; there are billions of galaxies like our solar system!
Therefore, it's better to play it safe for now.
"Hey bro, what's your number?"
Leyu crawled out of the corridor: "Oh right, I haven't asked you your name yet?"
Just call me Liu Bai.
Liu Bai replied softly, "I am number 239."
"Damn it! I'm only a little slower than you, how come I'm five places behind!" Le Yu shook his head.
Liu Bai did not reply, but responded with a smile.
The octopus inexplicably started talking to him and even gave him a language capsule; he couldn't believe there was such a generous person.
I just don't know what they're after.
Seeing that Liu Bai didn't speak, Le Yu touched his bald head with one of his tentacles, his expression unchanged, and looked at the creatures in the hall.
"Brother Liu, let me go find another teammate for us first. This batch is all from the same period, so it should be easy to find one."
"Uh-huh"
Liu Bai nodded.
Seeing this, Leyu wriggled its body and walked on the metal floor, its black goat-like eyes constantly scanning the creatures in the hall.
Liu Bai glanced at the departing octopus, crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and waited for time to pass.
Somewhere ten kilometers away from Liu Bai, a male voice asked, "Are you sure it's the target?"
A hoarse voice said, "It's confirmed. After receiving the information, I kept an eye on things in the reception plaza. That human walked out of a portal of light in a blaze of light. It was clearly Zhao Li's doing."
"Okay, that's good. After he arrives, will anyone from Xingcheng be there to meet him?"
"The backup—I'm not sure either. He just chatted with an octopus for a bit, and the octopus even gave him a language capsule."
"An octopus?" The man's voice suddenly turned serious. "Do you have any information about that octopus?"
"Yes!" the child said with absolute certainty. "The octopus comes from the Centaurus R galaxy and is a civilization under the Galactic Alliance."
"Those are all spoiled brats over there. We can ignore them for now. They're probably just going up to have a chat."
The male voice whispered, "That human named Liu Bai's ability seems to be telekinesis, the triggering condition is unknown. When he comes out later, you need to cause an accident to kill him. You absolutely cannot let him live!"
"Yes, boss!"
The child's voice immediately assured him, "His body is just that of an ordinary person, don't worry!"
"Okay, once you succeed, destroy your identity immediately. Star City is cracking down hard lately, so I'll arrange for you to go to an ordinary world to lay low for a while."
As soon as the man finished speaking, silence returned to the surroundings.
"Number 239, please step into Gate 5."
A mechanical sound echoed throughout the hall.
Liu Bai heard himself and immediately walked towards Gate 5.
Passing through the portal of light, you enter a closed room.
In the very center of the room, a large toad with bumpy skin was perched on a table.
"Croak, your name is Liu Bai, right?" The toad stuck out its tongue.
"Yes."
Upon hearing Liu Bai's agreement, the toad touched the light screen in front of it with its tongue and asked with some doubt, "You come from human civilization?"
Liu Bai nodded.
The toad blinked its big eyes and retracted its tongue: "Where is human civilization located?"
Without hesitation, Liu Bai replied, "Blue Star in the Orion Arm Solar System."
What region are you from?
"Summer District".
The toad nodded, then stuck out its tongue and tapped the screen, directing the screen towards Liu Bai: "Repeat the above text using the language of your region."
The Salvation Club is a strong supporter of all civilizations in the galaxy! Our goal is to save galactic civilizations from a spiritual crisis and preserve their future!
"this--
'
Upon seeing the screen, Liu Bai's expression immediately turned strange.
If he remembers correctly, isn't this the truth-telling medium?
What do these mean?
Just as Liu Bai remained silent, the toad squinted and asked, "Have you seen this writing before?"
"I've met him," Liu Bai said without denying it.
"Okay, then we can skip the truth-or-dare part; you can just repeat it once."
"Okay." Liu Bai nodded and immediately repeated it in Mandarin.
After listening, the frog nodded and said, "Next, I will conduct a characteristic test on you. I will take a drop of your blood for testing."
Liu Bai frowned, but still stepped forward.
As soon as he stepped forward, the toad stretched its tongue behind the table, rolled up a syringe, and placed it on Liu Bai's arm.
With a gentle prick, the needle pierced Liu Bai's arm.
"Alright. The test results will be available in five hours. Once you pass, our Salvation Club will notify you to attend the Salvation Training."
"After the training, you will be able to travel to various worlds in the Milky Way to carry out missions to save the world."
After saying that, he put the syringe back behind the table and rolled up a metal box, handing it to Liu Bai.
"This is your next accommodation. Just follow the map above to get there."
"OK, thanks."
Liu Bai nodded, and as soon as he took the box, a light gate appeared on his side.
As soon as Liu Bai stepped out of the portal and returned to the waiting hall, he saw a giant octopus approaching him.
"Brother Liu, wait for me outside for a moment, let's go to our lodgings together."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the square?"
"Okay, I've found my last teammate. I'll tell him to go to the square later too."
The octopus nodded, then smiled and said, "That last teammate, he's heard of your human civilization, you might even recognize him."
"I know him."
Liu Bai asked with some curiosity, "Where is he from?"
"He's from the Bubble Civilization—oh? Never mind, it's my turn. Let's talk again once we're out of the square."
As soon as the octopus finished speaking, it heard its own call and hurriedly crawled toward the portal.
Liu Bai didn't leave immediately, but silently watched the octopus's retreating figure, his brows slightly furrowed.
