Chapter 30 - 28: Detonation—Ancient Jurassic Period History?
CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 28: DETONATION—ANCIENT JURASSIC PERIOD HISTORY?
Night falls.
Raindrops drip down.
Zou Anmeng and Li Feng, returning from school, ride the tram together back home.
The two go upstairs, open the unit door, put down their umbrellas, and step on the doormat to dry their wet boots.
"Liu Jun, time for dinner."
Everything feels as warm as usual.
As always, they bring Liu Jun some food from the student cafeteria.
But this time, on their way home after school, the two exude unparalleled excitement.
They are brimming with gossip, eager to tell Liu Jun about today’s intrigues.
In general, it was no big deal.
In the past, the two would recount the happenings at school every day, typically focusing on Xu Changsheng, Little Fatty, and the school beauty.
But this time, it was different.
"Did you hear about it? The affiliated lab at Rehe First High School discovered a mysterious ancient organism during their ancient biological Intelligent Brain research."
Liu Jun was stunned for a moment and pretended to be very interested, "Is it another Innate Saint?"
"No, it’s even more explosive!"
Li Feng, known for having a big mouth, excitedly said, "That ancient organism is a small round orb with wings that even saved people from a fire."
He took out a video recorded by students during the fire, which included a very impressive statement.
The elegant angel slowly departed, leaving behind a group of Rehe First Key High School students who had narrowly escaped disaster.
In the footage.
"Who are you?" a student asked.
[Millions of years before this era, if humans could explore the past, they would call me by my name.]
Liu Jun dumbfounded, said, "Such pretentiousness..."
"It’s called being cool!"
Li Feng was full of admiration, "Ancient civilization, definitely an ancient biological civilization."
Liu Jun: ???
That afternoon, he suddenly found out that two mushrooms were missing from his Mushroom Soup, wondering where they went...
Turns out, some aged Angel Emperor took them and escaped?
And somehow inexplicably possessed an experimental subject in the laboratory next door?
Liu Jun suddenly felt uneasy, a bit panicked and tense.
I was just raising some Mushroom Soup...
Yet something even more unsettling happened to him.
Zou Anmeng, also brimming with gossip, said:
"Now, students at various schools are going crazy, hearing that the ancient organism is not only beautiful but also a righteous knight! More honest, kinder, and more beautiful than us humans!"
"Some insiders say that the winged orb is an ancient Jurassic life form evolved from the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly!"
"Just like ancient apes evolving into humans."
Upon these words, both their eyes sparkled as they waited for Liu Jun to exclaim in surprise.
After all.
It’s the[Amber Swallowtail Butterfly]!
One of the three fundamental fairy tales in the entire human world.
Most children grew up with the company of Amber Swallowtail Butterflies, with Amber Swallowtail Butterfly dolls, boots, clothes, and theme parks.
Now...
The fairy tale has stepped into reality!
And just like in dreams, the butterfly is kind, honest, and pursues beauty...
Like a righteous knight descending from heaven, a great hero saving the living beings!
How could one not be excited?
In their eyes, Liu Jun was surely excited too.
Because he also grew up with Amber Swallowtail Butterflies, deeply sentimental.
"That’s simply unbelievable!" Liu Jun could only feign amazement, while silent at heart.
If not for childhood sentiments, why would he choose the[Amber Swallowtail Butterfly]fairy tale book first?
Asking me like this... it’s completely defying logic!
Liu Jun pretended to shovel rice, feeling utterly stupefied, and realizing that things had escalated far beyond his imagination.
Li Feng: "That ancient organism is truly fierce, I heard it already escaped from under the Wisdom God’s radar."
Wisdom God.
A fourth-tier Electric Realm, already considered a true Divine Spirit in this world.
Liu Jun was a bit surprised to hear this news.
Star Rushing Lightning, could it really escape that quickly?
No, it must be paired with Deep Love is not Long-lived, burning the body to further increase speed, escaping the pursuit.
Without knowing the exact process, Liu Jun could only suppress his doubts silently.
Zou Anmeng said:
"And that’s not even the most explosive news, what’s most explosive is... at that time, the mysterious butterfly, at its weakest while cocooning, had almost its complete information memory read on the spot in the lab."
"Now, some big shots have already uploaded his life memories online, it’s spreading like wildfire!"
"This is top-secret material firsthand!"
"Apparently, using Children’s Enlightenment Book PC001[Amber Swallowtail Butterfly], one can download and enter that segment of ancient history."
Speaking of which, the two pulled out their Intelligent Brains: "Look! We came back late today because we redeemed our rented out PC001 Intelligent Brains."
They both have the same Amber Swallowtail Butterfly model.
"Tonight!"
"We’ll read the book!"
"We love learning!"
Both of them were brimming with gossip and excitement,
"This is our only chance to access it! We are so lucky! The classmates using different first-tier Intelligent Brains in our class were crying after school, hahaha!"
"Quick, quick, quick, let’s explore the world of this ancient organism together, this is the world’s first-hand material, if it weren’t for those big shots competing, would we have such an opportunity?"
"Who knows in a few days, it might get sealed, and the resources will be gone forever."
Seeing the enthusiasm in the two, Liu Jun was completely numb.
It’s over.
This Jurassic history...
From last week!
There is no Creator God in this world.
What he did earlier was merely aligning with the last wishes of a certain elderly emperor, giving comfort before death, which originally was no big deal.
But now...
Liu Jun inside was utterly disturbed, couldn’t help asking: "Wait! How could such a book be disseminated online, and so rapidly?"
"Ha." Li Feng laughed, "In the end, a lot happened this afternoon, that Rehe First High School’s lab reportedly had infiltrators from other companies, you know, these big companies plant people as moles."
"Because the mole knew he probably couldn’t take away the compressed data, he uploaded it online right when he was exposed and caught by Rehe Heavy Industry, and now everyone sees it."
Currently, the dissemination of books can no longer be stopped.
Plus, other companies wouldn’t allow Rehe Heavy Industry to corner the market.
Amidst all parties’ interest conflicts, the book started circulating this afternoon.
Although most people assume it’ll soon be banned.
But where in this world is there a shortage of freeloaders?
These free book resources, if not downloaded vigorously?
In their hearts, we impoverished students finally have a chance to read a good book, which might change our destiny in college entrance exams!
This is our opportunity before the exams!
Li Feng and Zou Anmeng didn’t forget about Liu Jun.
Zou Anmeng: "Your first-tier Intelligent Brain hasn’t been redeemed yet, right? You can just watch mine."
Li Feng: "This book is just data, without information processing, we cannot enter the first-person perspective and freely explore, it’s just like watching a movie, so watching from beside us works the same."
The two were warmly enthusiastic, dragging Liu Jun into the page to start their evening self-study.
Upon entering, they saw the screen full of comments.
"I heard something big happened in Rehe City today, directly making headlines, is there really a Jurassic Civilization?"
"Hehehe, Amber Swallowtail Butterfly, hehehe, Amber Swallowtail Butterfly~"
"Big scoop, super big scoop!"
"I want to see the resurrection of ancient civilization, devastating us, I want to see rivers of blood!"
"Stirred up, fake, right?"
"Have ancient organisms really revived?"
"I heard how could an angel be a ball? With a pair of small wings?"
"Watched too many movies, in Mythical Story, angels were never human-like..."
"Not necessarily, you know, butterflies are multistage metamorphic organisms, angels evolved from butterflies, so angels might be multistage too, the small round ball angel before us is a Little Angel? The evolved form is the big angel we acknowledge?"
"During the fire rescue, what were the two mentioned God things? Estimating they were Wisdom Gods from that civilization?"
"Unclear, just watch it and find out."
Skimming past the chaotic comments, the three broke students began to read this ancient Jurassic book.
