1390 The Appreciation of the Light Velvet Race, Mysterious Stone Plate! (1)
Youre a good man?
Harrett and Billbrom thought they heard wrong.
This fellow didnt look like a good person from any angle. They felt they were the good guys in comparison.
The furry creatures didnt believe Wang Teng either. His ruthless behavior from moments before had left them terrified.
Those furries had always lived on the planet, away from the rest of the universe, so they hadnt seen such a fierce person before.
Wang Teng was speechless. Am I that scary?
The natives were looking at him as if he were a devil.
To think he actually saved them and they treated him like an evil man. Who could he complain to?
Fortunately, the natives knew that the latter did spare them from their plight, so they didnt label him as evil right off the bat.
Furthermore, they witnessed the young humans ability, so they truly wished he was a good man. If not, they would be caught between a rock and a hard place.
Erm, hello. My name is Rong Li; Im the chief of the Margera Tribe. Thank you for saving us.
The chief was at the planetary stage, and was more than three meters tall. With a round body, he definitely seemed scared of the young hero. He released his spiritual wavelengths with care as he offered thanks.
Rong Li! The Margera Tribe! Wang Teng blinked. He nodded with a smile and said, Youre welcome. Actually, we could be considered friends already.
Friends? Rong Li was stunned.
Wang Teng wasnt in a hurry to explain. Instead, he asked, Youre members of the Light Velvet race?
Yes. Rong Li was surprised. You know our races name. Are you a friend who visited our planet in the past?
This is my first time here. However, I have a friend whos been here before. He asked me to come so Im familiar with your race, Wang Teng answered.
Whats your friends name? Rong Li asked.
Veblen! Wang Teng made the revelation.
Before his trip, Veblen said he would contact the planets grand elder. However, this fellow of the Light Velvet race was just a head of a medium-sized tribe, not the acquainted grand elder.
Hence, he didnt know if Rong Li would know of the scientist.
Still, he had no other choice. He needed to do something to gain their trust or they would be unable to communicate properly.
Rong Li was startled for a few seconds. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, Youre Veblens friend? He was using the common universal language.
You know the common universal language! Wang Teng was surprised.
A few outsiders have descended to our planet over the years; Veblen was one of them. They left many things behind, including some knowledge. The tribe chiefs were asked to learn the common universe language to facilitate communication, Rong Li explained.
I see. Wang Teng nodded thoughtfully.
How do I address you? Rong Li asked.
Wang Teng!
You dont have to use honorifics. Just use my name!
Wang Teng? Lets see... I think Veblen mentioned your name before, but I forgot. Ive seen your picture before, but all humans look the same... Thats why I didnt recognize you, Rong Li said in frustration.
Wang Teng: ...
What do you mean by we all look the same?
This Light Velvet race must be face-blind.
Wang Teng looked at the tribe chief and felt they were the ones who looked too alike instead. If he hadnt studied about them, he wouldnt know who was who.
Still, the problem was, the chief was a blurry one. He didnt know how to recognize the fellow and had already forgotten his name. Could he be more reliable?
Wang Teng didnt know what to say anymore.
Rong Li blinked his large and cute eyes, then scratched his head as he asked embarrassedly, Can you contact Veblen? I recognize him.
Wang Teng didnt consider the tribe chiefs incapability to discern his unique and handsome features.
He felt helpless about the whole matter, but he could only ask Round Ball to contact Veblen.
Concurrently, he waved a hand and formed a protective shield around them. The ones outside couldnt see or hear what was going on inside.
This was to prevent the mercenaries from overhearing, since they were still present. Wang Teng didnt want to reveal his identity that quickly.
Soon after, a hologram appeared. It was Veblen.
He was wearing his lab coat and was doing some experiments in his laboratory.
Moira stood next to him. She seemed happy to see Wang Teng and even waved at him.
Veblen glanced at Wang Teng and said, Looks like youve reached the planet Light Velvet.
Yes. Wang Teng nodded.
Wang Teng, have you met the Light Velvet people? Moira asked.
Yes, but... Wang Teng sighed.
But what? Moira asked curiously when she saw his expression.
Its hard to explain. I have a friend here who knows you. You can have a chat with him. Wang Teng shook his head dejectedly.
Then, he pulled Rong Li over, allowing Veblen and Moira to see him.
Rong Li! Veblen laughed happily when he saw the latter. Long time no see!
Rong Li! Moira greeted him with delight, too.
Veblen, Moira, my friends. Im so glad to see you. Veblen was also elated; his furry face was filled with happiness.
They exchanged some pleasantries and Veblen understood why the young man had contacted them. He wanted to laugh.
