The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 907: Welcome, This is the New World (Part 2)

The plants in the garden attracted the botanist in the group while the birds and insects attracted the zoologist.

He couldn’t even take his eyes off of a bee that was the size of a finger.

The largest honey bees on Earth were only 1.5 to 1.8 centimeters long. The bees flying in the garden were more than six centimeters, larger than a hornet.

Currently, they could be seen picking pollen as they flew around the flowers.

These bees were enough to surprise the zoologist, not to mention the never before seen birds that were perched on the tree.

“The atmospheric pressure here is a bit higher than normal,” a badly battered physicist said with a frown.

In fact, he discovered this the moment he arrived here, but didn’t mention it.

After Ren Baqian said that this was another world, the people who found it hard to believe began to find differences between this place and Earth while in search of an explanation.

Ren Baqian took everyone to the courtyard where the crow general was. In his opinion, he actually felt that Qishui would be more convincing.

However, it lay on the bottom of the lake every day and never came out unless the empress summoned it.

Fortunately, the crow general, which was 3.5 meters tall, was intimidating enough.

Standing there like a wall, its black feathers reflected light like metal.

When Ren Baqian patted its body, it simply turned to look at him before continuing to close its eyes and rest.

“Oh my god, this is… this is… this is almost as miraculous as King Kong!” the biologist exclaimed in admiration and rushed to touch the crow general’s feathers. It merely flapped its wings, which were slightly shorter than the length of its body. Immediately, the biologist got knocked back and threw up blood in the air.

In the face of this Cardinal Heaven level murderer, ordinary people were simply as weak as ants.

The others were taken aback.

“Check if he’s still breathing. Fetch the doctor.” Ren Baqian summoned the guards and turned to warn everyone, “I’m not responsible for your lives. You need to be responsible for yourself. You must understand that in this world, apart from your brains and knowledge, you are as vulnerable as a baby in all other aspects.”

Everyone looked at the biologist lying on the ground as he gasped for air, and their faces turned pale as fear emerged in their eyes

In the afternoon, the biologist regained his liveliness and became active again.

Alright, he wasn’t that active, but at least he managed to survive and didn’t have any problems walking.

The biologist was still suffering from post-traumatic stress, and it was clear that the crow general had taught him a good lesson.

In the evening, everyone saw two moons in the sky. There was a big red moon and another one that was only half the size of Earth’s moon. These people finally eliminated the last bit of uncertainty in their minds and confirmed that this wasn’t Earth.

Of course, there was a lot of evidence, but the two moons were directly observable, and they were even more inexplicable.

The next day, Ren Baqian met them again with his iconic kind smile on his face.

“Do you still have any questions about what I have said?” he asked.

“How did we get here? We seem to have been abducted and locked up for some time. Was that your doing? Who are you?” Everyone discussed throughout the night and finally unified their views. This issue was of great concern to them all.

“You were selected by the king of the deities, and you are a member of Earth’s advance party. You bear the expectations of your country and of all humanity. Although this is what I very much want to say, I’m a person who never lies.

That’s right, you have been abducted—kidnapped to a completely different world! Aren’t you curious? Apart from Earth, there is actually another planet where humans exist. Besides, you didn’t come here by spaceship, but through a more magical way.

What I want you to do is to unravel the most fundamental secrets—the rules of this world!”

Ren Baqian was rather patient with these people. After all, he required the knowledge in their brains. As such, he didn’t mind spending some time answering their questions.

He waited for that black woman to translate his words into English and Spanish before speaking again.

“As for myself, I’m an official in this country, one of the top executives here. I can decide whether you live or die. Of course, I know what you want to ask. Yes, I’m also from Earth.”

Sure enough, as soon as everyone heard these words, their gazes started to change. They were worried and also full of questions, dissatisfaction, and fear.

Here, Ren Baqian could tell everyone’s personalities. Some people had a stronger desire for knowledge. Exploring an unknown world like this was clearly a treasure to them.

There were also some people who, despite having enough knowledge, weren’t any different from ordinary people in many aspects. They felt afraid, lost, and resentful… Of course, if their knowledge was stripped away, they were just ordinary people.

“I have prepared a research institute for you. Don’t try to run away. With different appearances like yours, people would kill you instantly as if you were monsters. Of course, you also won’t have any chance to escape. I just hope you don’t make the wrong choices.

As for what will happen to you in the future, it depends on whether you can meet my requirements.

Rest assured, I’m a tolerant person and won’t be too harsh on you.

Actually, you’ll be more valued here by me.

On Earth, all of you were neglected. You were all mediocre people who were outshined by others!

From this perspective, you should be cheering. In this place, you are one of a kind!

After the black woman finished translating, someone immediately argued, “My research is about to produce results, and all physicists will remember my name!”

“Sorry, but you have lost your chance on Earth. However, you can let everyone in this world remember your name!” Ren Baqian spread his hands and continued, “Now that you understand the situation, I’ll give you a day to sort out your emotions. I’ll take you to the research institute tomorrow.”

Before this, he had already built a research institute in the nearby mountains that was about half a day’s journey from Lan City. If he was riding the crow general, it would only take an hour.

With the black woman translating, a man suddenly asked, “Excuse me, what’s your name? Are you Chinese? Did the magical martial arts of China come from this world?”

“Very smart!” Ren Baqian gave a thumbs up. “I like smart people, so I won’t lie to you. That’s right, those martial arts came from here. As for me, you can call me Zhao Prince Consort!”

“So, does the Chinese government know about this? Does our government know?”

“Maybe, but no one else can come to this place. This isn’t a place that can be accessed through existing technology. This is neither the moon nor Mars. It’s not any place in our solar system, our galaxy, or our universe. Ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you that our universe isn’t unique and that parallel worlds do exist. As for the rest, you’ll have to explore further!” Ren Baqian explained.

He let everyone ponder and sort out their emotions while he prepared to leave and work on other things.

“Mr. Zhao, can you give us a few pieces of clothing?” The black woman tried to suppress her panic and smiled at him.

She would be considered pretty good looking back on Earth, but in his eyes, the only valuable thing was her brain.

He looked around and saw that everyone was wearing a variety of clothing. She wasn’t the only one who was wearing just underwear.

“I’ll get someone to deliver clothes to you! Also, my surname isn’t Zhao. You can call me Zhao Prince Consort or boss!” Ren Baqian smiled and nodded.

That night, these people quarreled for about two hours. After the guards persuaded them, they quieted down very quickly.

The next day, accompanied by the guards, Ren Baqian personally took them to the research institute.

After a two-night transition, these people probably understood their current situation. They had given Ren Baqian the proper respect and remained sufficiently quiet.

Of course, the crow general previously flapped its wings gently and caused the biologist to get severely injured. Such a terrifying force had served as enough of a deterrence for them.

The physical persuasion of the palace guards was also pretty effective.

All of these added together allowed the unorganized and undisciplined researchers to know their place.

Along the way, these people opened the curtains of the ox cart and peeked at the outside world. However, everything they saw revealed the kind of civil society that they were in.

The various sights in Lan City made them very curious, and for a moment, they forgot about their abduction to a different world.

There were also various types of mounts everywhere in Lan City, such as mountain-gazing birds and saber-toothed tigers. These strange creatures had attracted most of their attention.

The research institute was located on a mountainside, and there was a pair of three-story cement buildings that covered an area of thousands of square meters. This was the so-called research institute.

In addition, there were two rows of brick houses, totalling 30 homes. Each of these could accommodate four people. With seven or eight mu of land, this allowed the researchers to grow stuff on their own.

Outside, there were courtyard walls up to two meters high. These weren’t to prevent them from escaping, but to prevent wild beasts from breaking in.

Apart from this, there were also 50 winged cavalry warriors that were divided into two shifts of guards.

In a place like this, it was simply a waste to deploy 50 Kismet Heaven winged cavalry warriors. However, Ren Baqian placed a lot of emphasis on these researchers and didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this.

After everyone was transferred over and had sorted out their emotions, he cast other matters aside and immediately dived into preliminary preparations.

Although he had prepared some modern tools, they were worthless compared to what the researchers required. A long list of items was handed over for him to prepare.

“Everyone, supercomputers, particle accelerators, large colliders… Are you kidding me? Let’s face it, remember that you are in a world that is 500 to 1,000 years behind Earth’s technology. You need equipment that is simple and easy to use. Instruments that are too complex and sophisticated aren’t realistic.”

After saying this, everyone finally embraced reality and drew up another list.

Although some items made Ren Baqian scratch his head, most of them were still acceptable.

He marked the priority of these items after asking about each of their functions.

He would be a porter from now on and for quite some time after.
