As for Li Fei’s words, Gu Xi would only believe half of them.

In terms of the planting ratio later on, Gu Xi also had his own ideas.

At the very least, he couldn’t let people lead him by the nose.

Because Liu Zengqiang was summoned by his superiors, the matters at Pei Xin Agricultural University were temporarily halted.

Naturally, nothing further was delivered afterward.

Li Fei then stayed to explain to Gu Xi some situations they encountered while tree planting.

All of these things were their latest research findings, but since Gu Xi was considered half a sponsor, Li Fei didn’t hide anything and disclosed everything.

Gu Xi listened, half understanding.

However, Gu Xi was smart enough not to interrupt when he didn’t understand, instead recording everything.

He planned to experiment slowly once back in Yalidov City.

For now, it’s better to jot everything down.

About seven or eight hours later, just as Li Fei asked Gu Xi if he needed a break, a young player entered from outside.

"Director, there’s a letter from the principal."

Li Fei looked up and only then noticed that the player was holding a seagull.

Li Fei quickly stepped forward, took the seagull, and pulled out the letter. As he read, his expression changed.

"Young man, the Lord of Ancestor City wants to meet you."

"Meet me?"

Gu Xi looked bewildered; what does the City Lord have to do with him? He’s only Level 8.

"Yes, the principal has already met the City Lord. This time, the matter concerning the Grass Returning Pill has stirred some reactions; the City Lord plans to keep it planted in the city, so hopes you’ll give a word."

"Additionally, offering the Grass Returning Pill counts as a merit, and there should be a corresponding reward, likely to be given to you." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Oh, alright, I’ll head over now. By the way, how is the City Lord?"

"He’s well, he’s at Level 29. This Grass Returning Pill is an opportunity for him; its effect of increasing by one level helps him too, allowing his level to reach Level 30.

Once the matter of the Grass Returning Pill is decided, he can begin preparing his Creation.

You didn’t know; it provided the last chance for many players unable to reach Level 30.

This time, our chances of returning to the real world will greatly increase."

Gu Xi nodded, although he didn’t quite understand the significance of Li Fei’s words, he knew he would definitely receive many rewards.

So, Gu Xi stood up, "How should I go to meet the City Lord?"

In Gu Xi’s mind, such a Level 29 expert like the Lord of Pei Xincun probably isn’t free every day.

And he wouldn’t possibly wait at some roadside café.

When he goes, there might be this or that restriction.

He has to ask things clearly.

Li Fei also shook his head, "I don’t know either; I haven’t met him myself."

Luckily, new information arrived quickly; the convoy sent by the City Lord had arrived at the entrance of the Agricultural University, and Gu Xi just needed to get in the car.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Xi gave Li Fei a look.

"Don’t worry, you’re just a low level. With the City Lord’s current power and status, he won’t care for your little attributes."

Only then did Gu Xi dispel certain thoughts in his mind, following the group of players who came to escort him to the university gate.

These players who came to escort him, although wearing suits, Gu Xi could distinctly feel the Power of Holy Light from them.

As an Undead Mage, he’s quite sensitive to Holy Light, and recognized immediately that these were Level 19 Holy Knights.

The coordination between the three seemed quite good judging by their motions.

No matter where Gu Xi was, any one of them could swiftly shield him behind them.

This habit appeared to be drilled into instinct.

Upon exiting the university gate, Gu Xi saw a bus-like car parked outside, entirely black, quite inconspicuous while stopped outside.

If not guided by the three Holy Knights, Gu Xi wouldn’t have even noticed the vehicle.

"Please get on, and once aboard, don’t speak out of line, and don’t carelessly utilize any means related to Teleportation Gate."

Seeing the three’s solemn expressions, Gu Xi finally agreed with a nod.

As he stepped onto the vehicle, he noticed it’s much larger inside than out; the décor style was significantly understated, but most notably, all windows were tinted black, preventing Gu Xi from seeing outside.

This situation left Gu Xi a bit speechless.

He didn’t even know if the vehicle was moving, or where it was heading.

Regarding such occurrences, Gu Xi couldn’t help but murmur internally.

What kind of person is this? Just a Level 29 player, what’s the big deal, he still has a Level 34 Undead under him, but he doesn’t flaunt it.

An existence yet to break through Level 29, what’s to be cautious about.

While Gu Xi murmured internally, he casually sat down on a sofa.

Afterward, Gu Xi didn’t survey around, nor did he take out his belongings to read, but instead sat with eyes closed.

At this time, Gu Xi gently moved his left hand, employing certain methods to utilize the power of the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp.

However, the strength was quite weak this time; Gu Xi fortified Spirit protection while secretly connecting with the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe and Spirit Lamp stored within the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp.

Since the Equipment Carrier wasn’t released, the visual effects of utilizing the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe and Spirit Lamp weren’t optimal.

But he could still make some use.

Under this view, Gu Xi saw many gazes upon him.

They seemed to be scrutinizing Gu Xi, exploring the circumstances and flaws on him.

However, Gu Xi’s situation was quite unique.

Ever since obtaining the Taishan Prefect’s Secret Record, Gu Xi’s path was influenced in some way.

The route he currently pursues is almost invisible to others.

What they could notice, at most, was that he mastered the Death Three Divine Skills.

This observation on Gu Xi lasted about seven or eight minutes before he suddenly opened his eyes.

The door in front of him was opened again, and a young player looking around twenty years old entered.

He looked at Gu Xi, then smiled, saying to him.

"Hello, Gu Xi. I’m Xu Youming, the current Lord of Pei Xincun, a Level 29 Great Mage. I’m glad to meet you."

Hearing this, Gu Xi was startled; how was he so young, but his actions weren’t slow, immediately standing from the sofa and sincerely speaking.

"Hello, City Lord."
