My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races

According to tradition, if a Pioneer Corps conquers a rift, that’s a great achievement!

Only after a successful pioneering can a construction team be arranged to enter the rift for excavation and exploitation work.

If Lu Xun hadn’t taken action, Jinghai City would have to pay a heavy price to conquer this rift.

It would not only cost many lives but also a fortune.

Now it’s no longer necessary.

The "Sarnik Adventure Team" directly cleared all obstacles for Jinghai City, letting them reap the benefits effortlessly.

Such a significant achievement, the City Lord must acknowledge it, otherwise, it would be unreasonable.

Monetary rewards and the like don’t really matter.

But Lu Xun has other desires.

For example, through the authorities in Jinghai City, let the Sarnik Adventure Team gain official recognition from the Human Federation.

As long as the City Lord opens a back door, the legality of the puppets’ identities will be completely solidified, unshakable.

In the future, traveling across the world will also become more convenient.

After all, ordinary puppets are one thing, but the Saint King-level puppets are somewhat exaggerated; if so many powerful ones appear out of nowhere, even with Xi providing cover, it’s easy to arouse suspicion.

Don’t speak of things like "heroes aren’t questioned about their origins" or "experts are among the common."

This is a world with myriad races standing together, where the weak are prey to the strong.

It is an era where all the strong show off their strength.

No matter how much they beautify the peace, one must admit, this is a chaotic world!

Only a few major nations and strong races are relatively peaceful.

In most parts of this planet, conflicts, conspiracies, and wars never cease.

You must showcase your strength so as not to be bullied.

The puppets of Lu Xun obviously possess great strength, yet lack any bit of fame; it’s odd.

The best way for the puppets to ascend the world stage openly is to gain official recognition from a major power.

After making an appearance in the Human Federation, the identity issues can truly be resolved.

"Then please, lady, lead the way." Captain Sarnik said to Shi Yanxin.

"Okay, seniors, please wait a moment."

Shi Yanxin said respectfully, then turned her gaze towards Wei’Er, Wuer, and Lu Xun, extending the invitation likewise:

"The City Lord knows what has transpired, and you three classmates are equally indispensable to this achievement. Especially Lu Xun, you used your knowledge to save everyone; truly deserving of a genius youth. The City Lord has also invited the three of you to join the banquet."

...

Thus, Lu Xun, Wuer, and Wei’Er were also brought to the City Lord’s Mansion.

At the dinner, the City Lord made an appearance.

Qiu Yaoyang, a middle-aged man, emanated an aura of authority with every gesture and movement.

This highest authority in Jinghai City rarely appeared in public events.

Yet this time, he hosted a banquet specifically to invite the achievers.

Qiu Yaoyang started with official pleasantries, exchanging greetings with the eight members of the Sarnik Adventure Team.

As for the three high school students on the side, they seemed like outsiders.

The City Lord merely made a simple greeting with them and then continued to chat enthusiastically with the Dragon God and others.

Cups clinking, as if bemoaning a late acquaintance.

"Brother Lu, it feels like we’re just here to make up the numbers." Wuer said somewhat dissatisfied, muttering to Lu Xun, "The City Lord’s mind is all on the seniors, he doesn’t even bother with us. I see, he invited us to be the backdrop."

Lu Xun, hearing this, maintained a calm expression and softly said, "What else could it be? We’re just small figures; it’s fortunate enough to be at this table."

Wei’Er also joined the conversation, speaking in a low voice to her two classmates:

"I’m not fond of this kind of setting; I’m quite enjoying the ease. Let’s quietly excuse ourselves later; the City Lord must want us to leave on our own."

"Okay."

Lu Xun nodded.

Suddenly, he felt a bit exhausted from acting.

While talking with Wuer and Wei’Er, he also had to deal with the City Lord, who was quite the slippery character.

These high-ranking people speak too obscurely, never straightforward; their words hide meanings, often leading a simple phrase to contain multiple layers of insinuation and small testings.

Lu Xun really detested such official jargon.

It reminded him of past days, when he first joined the workforce and had once gone to report work to his boss, only to have his boss’s phone ring during, taking a call and hanging up after a few "uh-huhs."

A week later, Lu Xun found himself inexplicably marginalized.

He pondered for a month, unable to figure out how he had offended his boss.

Only after consulting a senior did the truth come out, after being asked about the boss’s eye contact, expression, and gestures.

It turned out that because when the boss took the call, he didn’t find an "excuse to go to the bathroom" and voluntarily avoid it!

It was a private call.

The boss subtly hinted with his eyes for Lu Xun to step out, but it was too subtle for Lu Xun to comprehend.

The boss didn’t clearly state it either, just made some sounds and ended the call.

After hanging up, the boss continued to be amicable on the surface, but in reality, had harbored a grudge.

Either you’re not perceptive, or you’re deliberately challenging his authority.

No matter the case, they had ample reason to make things difficult for you.

Thus, when dealing with such clever individuals, you must be highly vigilant, or you’ll inadvertently step into a trap.

...

Fortunately, those are just past affairs.

Now, he has mind reading techniques, making such matters easy to handle.

No matter how obscure the speaker is, how deep their scheming, Lu Xun can directly read their minds, clearly understanding their thoughts.

Thus knowing exactly how to respond.

It even astonished Qiu Yaoyang greatly; this City Lord was in a very good mood, becoming more exuberant as he spoke, feeling as though he had met a kindred spirit!

Who says kindred spirits are hard to find? At this table, there are eight!

Soon, Lu Xun saw the time was ripe and settled the matter of the puppets’ identities.

Disconnected from the outside world for 1,400 years, upon re-emerging, the world had changed greatly, things were different from before.

Qiu Yaoyang waved a big hand, stating these were minor matters; everyone here was a friend of the Human Federation!

He even waved over the secretary, officially registering new identities for the adventure team members on the spot, labeling them as "foreign guests," "international friends," and granting them permanent residency in Jinghai City.

Making connections with a group of powerful figures is also greatly beneficial for Qiu Yaoyang.

"Ahem, City Lord, it’s getting late; please allow the three of us to take our leave."

Wuer, Wei’Er, and Lu Xun stood up to take their leave.

Just as they suspected, although they were contributors, the City Lord didn’t really care about the three of them.

One genius appraiser and two exchange students might be somewhat special compared to ordinary people, but compared to the big figures of the Sarnik Adventure Team, their status seemed so insignificant.

"Ahem, Secretary Liu, escort our three guests to receive their rewards, then arrange for someone to send them home; don’t neglect our guests." Qiu Yaoyang instructed the secretary kindly, and after everything was done, he resumed his conversation with Xiong Er and others, continuing the music and dance.

Lu Xun and the other two left with Secretary Liu.

The so-called reward consisted of five million in cash per person and an honorary certificate.

The certificate detailed their experience in pioneering the rift, proving the contribution they made to the development of Jinghai City.

This is a highly valuable credential that would undoubtedly be useful for future job searches or civil service exams.

But the issue is, Wuer and Wei’Er are exchange students and won’t remain in the Human Federation after their studies.

And Lu Xun... does he even need to look for work?

Wuer stood at the gates of the City Lord’s Mansion, looking at the honorary certificate in his hand with utter helplessness, tempted to toss it into the nearby trash bin.

But after a moment’s thought, he decided to keep it.

After all, with his poor academic performance, having a certificate might come in handy, saving him from a harsh scolding when he returns home to the Undead Race over the holidays.

Handing in both the transcript and certificate might balance things out, right?

"So boring, time to go home." Wuer turned and asked Lu Xun, "Brother Lu, want to come to my place and play games with me?"

Lu Xun shrugged his shoulders: "I have other things to do, you go play by yourself."

"Things? Oh right, your family went on a trip and are returning to Jinghai tonight, right?" Wuer suddenly remembered Lu had mentioned this before.

"Yeah, if their flight isn’t delayed, they’ll arrive in an hour." Lu Xun replied, glancing at Wei’Er and Wuer, "Not much else to say, I’m heading to the airport now; let Secretary Liu take you two home."

"Lu, be careful on the way, stay safe." Wei’Er kindly reminded.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Lu Xun waved goodbye, then boarded the special vehicle prepared by Xi at the roadside, heading straight to the airport.

He hadn’t seen his aunt and uncle for a week and quite missed them.
