197: Aliens from the world of Saida?

At the same time, after everyone exited the Cross-World Group, Ran Quan also exited the Cross-World Group.

Just then, a Researcher in a white lab coat hurried into the lounge, and his eyes lit up when he saw Officer Lin and Ran Quan.

He quickly walked over, “Officer Lin! The results are out! Old Jiang wants you and this…“

“Ran Quan,” Ran Quan said, taking the initiative.

“Oh! Ran Quan, Old Jiang wants you two to come over,” the Researcher nodded.

“Alright, let’s go,” Officer Lin stood up.

The Researcher led the way.

Soon, they arrived at the laboratory.

“Over here!” Old Jiang waved to Officer Lin and Ran Quan.

Officer Lin brought Ran Quan to Old Jiang’s side.

In front of them were piles of data.

Ran Quan looked utterly bewildered.

“This robot is absolutely not from our world’s technology.

Whether it’s the technology or the materials, it’s nothing we have in this world!” Old Jiang said with a very serious expression, “This is a major discovery!”

“This… Ran Quan, right!” Old Jiang looked at Ran Quan.

“Yes, Old Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Quan,” Ran Quan quickly nodded, his attitude very respectful.

“I heard you discovered this and brought it back, is that right?” Old Jiang asked Ran Quan, “Can you tell me what happened?”

“No problem!” Ran Quan nodded, then recounted his encounter with the robot.

“You mean, it actively attacked you on the way back?” Old Jiang frowned, “I checked it over, this robot… it’s still alive…”

“Alive?!” Officer Lin was stunned.

“I mean, it’s still operating.

Ran Quan did very well; he didn’t completely destroy its head.

We found a control chip in the robot’s head, and the technology contained within is incredibly powerful! Much more advanced than ours!” Old Jiang nodded slightly, “And this robot contains a lot of technology.

If we can fully grasp even one-fifth of it, our technological level will advance significantly.”

“Ran Quan, you’ve rendered a great service!” Officer Lin exclaimed, looking at Ran Quan with surprise.

It was well-known that the Frontier Technology’s technological level was already extremely high, and any progress was immense.

And for Old Jiang, as a top scientist at Frontier Technology, to say such a thing… it clearly showed how significant the value brought by this robot was!

“But that’s not the most important thing!” Old Jiang shook his head.

“Hmm?” Everyone’s gaze was on Old Jiang.

“After various studies and comparisons, including all the technological remnants and documents we’ve obtained from the Ground World, we suspect that this robot does not belong to our world!” Old Jiang stated.

“Old Jiang… you mean?” Officer Lin’s pupils constricted slightly upon hearing Old Jiang’s words.

“That’s right! We suspect there are external worlds existing on the Ground World! Perhaps people from other universes, perhaps aliens…” Old Jiang said.

“This… isn’t that a bit rash?” Officer Lin frowned slightly, finding it hard to believe how they suddenly jumped to aliens or other worlds.

But when Ran Quan heard it, his pupils constricted.

He believed that!

After all, he had a system and had joined the Cross-Border Exchange Group, which was inherently linked to the Celestial Realms.

This already confirmed the existence of other worlds.

So, when Ran Quan heard Old Jiang’s words, he felt it was true.

After all, for so long, the technological remnants, materials, and resources obtained by the Underground World from the Ground World had always had a certain connection to the Underground World itself.

Moreover, the creatures were all monsters.

But this robot was a completely “independent” existence, so it was no wonder Old Jiang would say that.

Furthermore, people in the Underground World already believed in the existence of “other worlds,” and one hypothesis was that the Ground World was destroyed by “aliens” or “other worlds.”

“There’s just this possibility, and it’s not small, but currently, Ran Quan’s discovery is the only robot, so no one can say for sure what the situation is,” Old Jiang shook his head slightly, “However, I will report this matter; it needs to be paid attention to.”

“Understood!” Officer Lin nodded.

“Ran Quan’s contribution is significant, and I will report that as well,” Old Jiang said.

“Ran Quan, why aren’t you thanking Old Jiang?” Officer Lin, hearing Old Jiang’s words and seeing Ran Quan’s lack of reaction, patted Ran Quan and said.

“Ah!? Thank you, Old Jiang!” Ran Quan snapped back to reality.

Although he wasn’t sure what was happening, if Officer Lin told him to thank Old Jiang, he would thank Old Jiang.

He had just been chatting in the Cross-Border Exchange Group.

He had mentioned this matter.

Everyone immediately spoke up enthusiastically.

Miya-pasu: “Wow! Are there other worlds? Will they join our Cross-World Group?”

Lin Zifeng: “Xiao Miao, you’re thinking too much.

This is clearly a ‘mission’! The Cross-World Group might have missions then!”

Yi Xin: “That’s something to look forward to, a mission to save a group member’s world!”

Miya-pasu: “Eh? What are these?!”

Yi Xin explained what had happened before to the “newcomer.”

Miya-pasu: “I see! Yay! I want to do missions too! Earn source points!”

Ran Quan: “No ‘Yay’! I really don’t want anything to happen to my world!”

Ran Quan genuinely didn’t want such things to happen to his world… He was currently progressing steadily, his development momentum was good, and he was growing smoothly.

Although this matter might offer “profit,” the risks were high!

And who knew what would happen!

This was what you called creating unnecessary complications!

Ran Quan really didn’t want such a thing to happen, but at present, he felt that it was highly likely to occur.

Simply because he discovered this robot.

It was absolutely, absolutely not a product of this world.

Ran Quan: “I’ll start a live stream! I still have things to do!”

Immediately after, a notification appeared in the Cross-World Group:

【Group member “Ran Quan” has started a live stream】.

Everyone rushed into the live stream room.

They saw a woman next to Ran Quan say, “Ran Quan, why aren’t you thanking Old Jiang!”

Then everyone saw Ran Quan snap back to reality and say, “Ah!? Thank you, Old Jiang!”

“No need, I just did what I should do,” Old Jiang waved his hand indifferently.

“Then we’ll head back first.

If you need anything, just call me!” Officer Lin nodded to Old Jiang.

This matter was considered concluded.

What would happen next, Officer Lin would await notification, and Ran Quan likewise.

“Alright, go.

However, for now, you and Ran Quan should not return to District 11.

Stay here for a while, or you can stay at the headquarters,” Old Jiang thought for a moment and said to Officer Lin.

“Okay, I understand!” Officer Lin nodded, “Then we’ll be going.”

“Go on,” Old Jiang waved his hand.

Officer Lin then led Ran Quan out.
