The next day, Gao Jianfei changed into the indigenous clothing of the planet Huaxia that he had received from the intelligent program... well, it was a set of clothing similar to that of ancient Song Dynasty China on Earth.
Gao Jianfei, dressed in such an incongruous outfit, walked down the streets of Ocean Planet, attracting curious glances and turning heads. He himself felt somewhat amused and embarrassed. However, it didn't matter; they were going to Huaxia Planet soon, so changing clothes in advance was perfectly reasonable.
A short while later, Gao Jianfei received a call from Meiling... "Jianfei, are you going to the square? Wait for me, where are you now? I'll drive over and pick you up."
Gao Jianfei chuckled. He then told Meiling his approximate location.
Soon, Meiling drove over to pick up Gao Jianfei.
She had also changed into the indigenous clothing of the planet Huaxia beforehand. Meiling wore a lake-green long dress and had her hair styled in a bun, looking very much like a young lady from ancient China, and was very beautiful. Gao Jianfei couldn't help but praise Meiling a few times, making her blush.
The two chatted and laughed in the car. Before long, they arrived at the plaza where they had been teleported to Planet Huaxia.
Hundreds of people were already waiting in the square, awaiting teleportation.
Gao Jianfei and Meiling got out of the car and silently watched the people.
They were all exorcists who had taken on this job, along with some of their family members, and some women they kept as pets, even bodyguards.
Besides Gao Jianfei and Meiling, there are 498 exorcists who have joined forces to complete this mission, and they have all arrived!
After observing for a while, Gao Jianfei realized that about 300 of these exorcists were from the Ocean Planet, while the rest were alien exorcists like Gao Jianfei.
Everyone was dressed identically in the special clothing worn by people from the planet Huaxia (high-quality text first release, %). Even the people living in their ghost den had changed into their new clothes. Of course, Gao Jianfei's women and family members had also changed and were waiting in the ghost den.
However, the atmosphere in the square was a bit off.
Logically, going on a mission to a cultivation planet means facing mysterious and incredibly powerful cultivators, so the exorcists present should be extremely cautious. However, the atmosphere in the plaza was incredibly lively; these people seemed to be on vacation on a Chinese planet!
It was lively and bustling, with people chatting and laughing, and joking around.
"No way?" Gao Jianfei was stunned. Then, he pulled over a bouncy female exorcist. "Hey lady, what's so exciting about that? Going on a mission is always dangerous, why are you so happy?"
"Danger? Danger my ass!" The female exorcist, an alien with a rustic appearance, said, "Not dangerous at all. We can find lots of treasures on Planet China! Everyone says so! Getting this mission is all thanks to luck! Why worry?"
"I'm speechless..." Gao Jianfei was dumbfounded. "So you mean those cultivators are all made of paper? We can just go over there and kill that Changchun Daoist?"
"You're so ignorant!" the female exorcist said impatiently. "We can exchange for modern firearms. I've already learned how to use firearms from the ghosts of some arms experts. We have grenades, and even missiles! What are we afraid of cultivators for? We'll just blast them to pieces!"
"Firearms? Grenades?" Gao Jianfei wanted to curse.
Gao Jianfei is more knowledgeable than these fools; Earth has been invaded by aliens.
Sword Saints and Mages are not very afraid of grenades or bullets, and if they are prepared, they are not even afraid of missiles.
Cultivators are probably much stronger than those so-called sword saints and magic gods, right? Why would they be afraid of this thing?
"Meiling, I feel that going on a mission with these idiots in a tour group is really... really not a good idea!" Gao Jianfei said helplessly.
Just then, a synthesized mechanical voice rang out in the sky above the plaza, "Attention, exorcists! Attention, exorcists! Teleportation will take place in 10 seconds! You will be heading directly to Planet Huaxia! Please be aware!"
"10-9-8...Teleportation initiated!"
Suddenly, the square spun around, the sun and moon reversed, and space itself shifted! (To be continued)
Super Ghost Instrument 668, Chapter 668 of the main text of Super Ghost Instrument: Teleportation Over!
(Our group number is 95512049)
Chapter 669 Indigenous Peoples
Transmission initiated.
Our destination: the cultivation planet, the planet of China.
The 500 exorcists, accompanied by their families and friends, dressed in the clothing of the natives of Planet Huaxia, vanished in a flash from the teleportation plaza on Ocean Planet. During the teleportation, Gao Jianfei felt surrounded by dazzling light and shadow. He had experienced interstellar teleportation several times before, so he didn't find it particularly special. During the teleportation, the intelligent program in Gao Jianfei's ear reminded him, "Darling, I just received a language decryption packet temporarily sent by the main system. It will allow us to communicate smoothly with the natives of Planet Huaxia after we arrive, without any obstacles."
Upon hearing this, Gao Jianfei felt a surge of information flood his mind. This information was organized remarkably smoothly and clearly, revealing a peculiar language system. This language system was extremely similar to Chinese, the language spoken on Earth! Gao Jianfei marveled.
Soon, Gao Jianfei felt the surrounding light and shadow suddenly disappear! His feet touched solid ground. Then, he smelled a rich, refreshing fragrance! It was the aroma of herbs and trees, floating in the air, so much so that Gao Jianfei could smell the natural, delightful sweetness in the air.
Then, as soon as Gao Jianfei opened his eyes, he saw a clear, boundless blue sky!
"Wow!" Gao Jianfei couldn't help but exclaim almost instantly.
The sky here is absolutely stunning! More beautiful than any ocean planet! This place has remained completely untouched by industrial pollution, preserving its pristine beauty!
Back when Gao Jianfei was in school, he learned many words to describe the beauty of the sky in his textbooks. Now, even if all those words were added together, they wouldn't be enough to describe even one-tenth! One-hundredth!
So beautiful!
It looks as if it was carved from a single, expensive sapphire.
Even the white clouds in the sky are like cotton, spotless, pure white and lovely.
And those majestic and imposing distant mountains. Those unnamed wildflowers and grasses, and those fish swimming in the crystal-clear water.
Everything is woven together to create the image of a paradise on earth.
All the exorcists who were teleported over, including their families, were stunned and stood there, deeply moved, without saying a word.
Yes, I am moved, moved by this blessed land, this paradise on earth.
"This is the planet Huaxia? It's so beautiful!" Meiling said, standing next to Gao Jianfei, her gaze lingering on him.
Gao Jianfei agreed. "This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. If it were just beauty, that would be one thing. The key is that the air itself has a sweet, fragrant scent. I can say with certainty that breathing this air is extremely beneficial to our health and lifespan! Tsk tsk. The people living here are truly blessed by heaven! I estimate their average lifespan is several hundred years. No wonder this is a cultivation planet. By the way… could it be that the air here contains the kind of spiritual energy described in novels? Those with spiritual roots can rely on this spiritual energy to cultivate and become cultivators!"
"Heh, Jianfei, your deductive reasoning is really impressive. I think it should be like this." Meiling's pretty face was full of smiles.
Now, the group is located at the foot of a mountain range, with a forest directly in front of them.
When everyone first arrived on Planet Huaxia, they were reluctant to wander around and stayed in one place, appreciating the wonderful customs and culture of Planet Huaxia.
Gao Jianfei also released his family, friends, and women from the ghost den. Gao Jianfei's men also changed into the clothing of the natives of the Chinese planet.
"We've arrived at Planet Huaxia. You can experience some of the unique features of this planet. Hehe, this place is more perfect than any tourist destination. I reckon if we organized a tour group on Earth and brought travel enthusiasts here, we'd make a fortune," Gao Jianfei said with a smile.
Sure enough, especially Gao Jianfei's women, were now dancing and waving around him, their faces full of smiles.
"Oh, Jianfei, are these all your girlfriends? They're all very beautiful." Meiling greeted Gao Jianfei's women with a friendly smile.
"Oh, right, this is Miss Meiling. My friend. She's from Ocean Planet," Gao Jianfei quickly said.
So, Gao Jianfei's women and friends greeted Meiling one by one and gave brief self-introductions.
However, Gao Jianfei's women, Feilong and his wife, Tang Bao and others all secretly gave Gao Jianfei a thumbs up. Tang Bao even put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder and said, "Nephew Jianfei, you're something else! You're a master at picking up girls. You've only been on Ocean Planet for a short time and you've already got your hands on a pretty good girl. Impressive, impressive."
Gao Jianfei chuckled to himself.
Just then, a deep, resonant voice rang out, "Everyone, we've been teleported to Planet Huaxia! Admittedly, it's an extremely beautiful and perfect planet, but this isn't a place for us to linger. Remember, we're here to complete a mission! After we finish the mission and earn experience points, we'll return to Planet Ocean to participate in the highly rewarding arena tournament! Therefore, we absolutely cannot linger here enjoying the scenery! Alright, let's assign command! We've arrived on an unfamiliar planet, and we're all working towards the same goal. Besides, we're all exorcists, so we should unite! We are comrades, and everyone on this Planet Huaxia is an enemy! We must unite! However, for 500 exorcists to unite, we need a few leaders, a few people to give orders!"
Having said that, most of the exorcists agreed. Although this planet, Huaxia, looked beautiful, it was fraught with danger and undercurrents; cultivators lived there! Before being teleported to Huaxia, everyone was relatively relaxed. But after actually arriving, they felt uncertain. Everything was unknown, and the unknowns were of danger and terror.
Of course, there was also a small number of exorcists who, while agreeing in their hearts, were filled with ambitions to become the 'leader'.
The exorcist who spoke was a giant, standing 2 meters tall, dressed in a black short-sleeved outfit, and looked extremely fierce. His aura was calm and composed.
The burly man swept his gaze across the crowd, taking in the expressions of all the exorcists. Then, he announced loudly, "I know some of you exorcists are trying to become leaders. However, our leaders must possess superior strength! Before we were teleported to this planet, the switchboard had a count: out of the 500 exorcists who signed up for this mission on the Chinese planet, there were 6 level 9 exorcists, a small number of level 8 exorcists, a large number of level 7 and level 6 exorcists, and finally, a group of relatively weaker level 5 exorcists. Let the levels speak for themselves! Those qualified to be leaders are the 6 level 9 exorcists!"
After saying that, the big man stepped forward, and at the same time, the other five exorcists, three men and two women, also stepped forward.
These six people all looked very confident and high-spirited. They were probably six level 9 exorcists.
The burly man who had spoken earlier exhaled and said calmly, "The six of us are the six level-9 exorcists participating in this mission! We're strong! We'll lead everyone to complete this mission and coordinate the overall situation. Does anyone have any objections?"
He spoke in a questioning tone, but there was an underlying attitude that his decision was made and could not be changed.
Of course, given their rank, the other exorcists had nothing to say and all acquiesced.
"Damn it, why should I be the boss?" Tang Bao growled indignantly.
Gao Jianfei laughed. "It doesn't matter. This kind of mission does require a few people to give orders. In short, we'll listen to what they say is right and ignore what they say is wrong. It doesn't matter, we don't need to argue about it."
Gao Jianfei was quite indifferent to the idea of being a leader. Besides, he didn't want to be one. There was no point in arguing about it; it would only needlessly undermine unity.
However, Gao Jianfei's friends were quite unconvinced. Just then...
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps echoed from the woods ahead! It sounded as if hundreds of people were rushing towards them from the other side of the woods, their approach aggressive!
Gao Jianfei noticed the sudden footsteps immediately!
This is why Gao Jianfei has excellent hearing and is skilled in martial arts!
Of course, the other exorcists also heard the approaching figure immediately! Even Meiling, whose level and martial arts skills were not high, heard it too.
"Jianfei, someone's coming!" Meiling said, slightly nervously. "It must be the natives of this planet Huaxia; they've discovered us!"
The exorcist who had spoken earlier immediately shouted, "Attention everyone! Someone's approaching! There are about several hundred of them! Everyone be alert! Family members, move to the back! Move to the back!"
As the exorcist shouted, the helpless family members neatly retreated behind him.
Gao Jianfei's family members are all people with superpowers, so they naturally have nothing to fear and don't move an inch.
A hint of surprise flashed in Meiling's eyes.
Soon, hundreds of people sprang out of the woods!
They were all dressed in the clothing of the natives of the planet Huaxia, including men, women, and children! They all had yellow skin and black eyes, just like the Earthlings, the Ocean Star people, and all the exorcists present!
These people were holding shovels, spades, hammers and other tools!
The group of exorcists remained silent, simply staring blankly at the group of people who had run out of the woods.
The group of natives didn't speak; they just watched.
The two groups of people stared at each other, wide-eyed!
On the exorcists' side, there was mostly surprise, curiosity, and bewilderment; they didn't know what to say.
The natives, on the other hand, were clearly terrified!
Chapter 670 Extracting Information
The two groups stared at each other, locked in a tense standoff. Gao Jianfei seized the opportunity to observe these natives of the Chinese planet up close. In fact, upon first glance, Gao Jianfei felt no surprise whatsoever; rather, he felt a sense of familiarity. These so-called aliens actually looked just like the characters in those poorly made martial arts dramas on Earth! They wore coarse cloth clothing. However, Gao Jianfei also keenly noticed that the natives' joints were very large, their skin was hard, with a bronze hue from years of sun exposure, even gleaming with a metallic sheen. Their temples were slightly bulging. Based on Gao Jianfei's experience… these natives must have practiced martial arts.
According to the mission description, the planet Huaxia contains not only cultivators but also martial artists. Compared to cultivators, martial artists are more numerous, essentially representing the lower ranks of the population.
"Jianfei, what should we do now?" Zhuo Xiaowei and Meiling asked at the same time.
Gao Jianfei sniffed, then muttered, "Anyway, several level 9 exorcists have already stepped forward to take leadership positions, so let's just wait and see and not take the lead." After a pause, Gao Jianfei added, "If it were me, I would try to gain the trust of these natives and then try to find out about the power structure of this planet from them."
Upon hearing Gao Jianfei's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Tang Bao cursed under his breath. "Those idiots are all scrambling to be leaders. I'd like to see how they handle this situation."
Feilong nodded in agreement. "Jianfei, you're right. We've just arrived on this planet, and the thing we should really avoid is getting into a conflict with the natives. Peace is the best policy; we might even get the information we need. If we insist on fighting, we might get ourselves into trouble. Right now, we're completely confused and don't know if these natives have any powerful backers. If we attract cultivators, it would be a huge loss."
"It might even lead to our total annihilation," Jian Fei laughed and cursed.
