[Genshin Impact·Zhongli]: "In my opinion, there may be someone involved among the Triumphant's upper echelons, and they are of high status. Mr. Pompey, with his perceptive abilities, must have noticed something."

[Genshin Impact·Zhongli]: "He chose to pin the blame on Morse alone, quickly closing the case and offering compensation to settle the matter peacefully. This move was done, firstly, to stabilize the situation and prevent organizational unrest; secondly... to give the person behind the scenes a chance, or perhaps a warning."

[Genshin Impact·Zhongli]: "Presumably, that senior executive has a close relationship with Mr. Pompey, or is a very influential figure within the organization, making him hesitant to act rashly. Therefore, he has temporarily put this matter on hold to see what happens next."

Zhongli's analysis was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the group.

[Zero Bell]: "Wha...what?! There's such a thing?! Mr. Zhongli, are you saying...Uncle Pompey...actually knows about it?!"

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Wow! So complicated?! Sounds exciting! Infighting among the top brass? Infernal Affairs? Kind of interesting, like a movie plot."

[Bengtie·March 7]: "Oh my god... Ling, is the situation over there so complicated? It sounds so troublesome!"

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "My head is about to smoke... It's so complicated! Zhongli, how did you see so much from just a photo and a few words?"

Unlike Ling, Xing and the others who were surprised, the other two in the group seemed much calmer.

[Juequ Zero·Zhe]: "As expected. Pompey's handling of the situation last night seemed perfect, but in reality, it was too 'perfect' and too quick, making it seem deliberate."

[Juequ Zero·Zhe]: "To blame everything on a single mid-level executive is illogical. What Mr. Zhongli said coincides with some of the doubts I had when reviewing the situation afterwards."

[Bengtie Danheng]: "Hmm. Conflicts of interest, checks and balances of power. It's not uncommon for such problems to arise within a large organization. Pompey's choice is a common strategy for leaders after weighing the pros and cons. Cut the Gordian knot quickly, stabilize the situation first, and then seek an internal solution. It's just..."

[Bengtie Danheng]: "The hidden dangers still exist, and the storm may not subside. Ling, Zhe, you are cooperating with the son of Calydon, so you must remain vigilant."

Ling looked at Zhe and Danheng's replies, and she suddenly realized what was going on, but also felt a little scared.

[Zero·Ling]: "So... that's how it is! My brother and I thought things were resolved a little too smoothly... I guess we need to think more deeply about things from now on."

[Genshin Impact·Ying]: "It seems that no matter which world you live in, trouble is inevitable. Ling, Zhe, be careful."

[Zero·Ling]: "Yeah! Thank you for the reminder! We will pay attention!"

This topic was obviously a bit heavy, so Xing immediately changed the subject to liven up the atmosphere.

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Alright, alright! All that conspiracies and tricks are too taxing! Let's talk about something lighthearted! Everyone! How did the training matches go?"

[Bengtie Xing]: "I've already mastered the outer ring of the training room! Those bends, those chaotic space entrances, are nothing compared to me, the Invincible Galaxy Transcendant No. 1! First place and 300 points, I'm sure to take it!"

[Bengtie·March 7]: "Hey! Xing! You started it again! Don't forget that I'm not a pushover either! Let's see who can fly!"

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "Hehe, Ying and I worked hard too! Ying taught me a lot about reading instruments and judging road conditions!"

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "Even though I haven't driven myself yet... I feel like I'm on my way to becoming an excellent driver! I'm sure I'll get a good ranking then!"

[Zero·Lin]: "My brother and I can only practice when we have time, but the basic operations are no problem! And we've already debugged the HDD equipment, so we can finally focus on training for a while."

[Juequ Zero·Zhe]: "The most important thing is to participate and finish the race safely. After all, personal safety is the most important thing."

When it comes to points, the atmosphere in the group becomes more heated.

Everyone mentioned that although they had completed the training matches and accumulated enough points before, they had already accumulated enough points to enjoy the 20% discount for new players for the first time.

But everyone tacitly suppressed the urge to draw the card immediately.

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Of course I have to hold back my ultimate move! After the finals, after we get our ranking points, we'll draw together! Let's see who has the most blue flashes! Whoever has the most luck will be the true 'transcendent'!"

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "That's right! I'm going to draw another super powerful skill! Even Zhongli will be shocked!"

[Bengtie·March 7th]: "Hehe, I've already figured out how to pair up the good stuff when I draw it! Danheng, don't let your luck get too bad!"

"Say, how about we schedule the finals on the same day as Caesar and the others? That way, we can watch them compete together. Maybe you can also learn some driving skills from the Sons of Calydon."

Ling was a little bit sinister at this moment. After all, Caesar and his friends often raced cars, and some of their maneuvers were really not something ordinary people could learn.

She also wanted her friends in the group to understand how she felt when she saw Caesar and the others' racing skills.

[Bengtie Xing]: "Alright, I'm ready for the finals at any time. A mere regional finals is nothing to worry about."

[Bengtie Xing]: "When the time comes, it won't be me who will learn their techniques. Instead, each of you will be amazed at the versatility of Galaxy Batman. Even the Hollow Cross Country can be easily mastered."

Looking at the stars showing off again, March 7’s complaining soul couldn’t help it anymore.

[Bengtie·March 7]: "Hey! That's enough, you! Don't cry about not even being in the top three. It would be embarrassing."

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Shameful? Even if that were the case, the ones who would be embarrassed would be the stars of the New Eridu Outer Ring. What does it have to do with me, the Galaxy Batman of the Star Train?"

[Bengtie·Xing]: "And this time I want to explore the other world well and bring back a lot of exploration energy. Then Pam will be at my mercy."

The more Xing thought about it, the more beautiful it became. 'From now on, on the train, I can rummage through any trash can I want! I can eat as many snacks as I want! I can have a party whenever I want!'

"Pam has to serve me tea and water, and March... is responsible for maintaining and polishing my 'Galaxy Beyonder One'! Wahahahahahaha——!"

Xing seemed to have seen himself sitting cross-legged in the main seat of the observation car, Pam holding the Xianzhou special snacks, and March Seven wiping the car with a bitter face. He couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and let out his signature, piercing and devilish laugh towards the sky.

"Star-Passenger--!" She saw that conductor Pam had been standing behind her without her knowing, her short legs stomping on the ground.

"I told you not to make loud noises on the train, Pa!"

Dan Heng, who was sitting not far away, didn't even raise his head. He just sighed imperceptibly and slid his fingers across the screen a little faster.

March Seven, who was flipping through photos, muttered quietly, "It's started again! This guy's paranoia is hopeless."

Chapter 29: Journey to New Eridu

A day passed after the eavesdropping incident, and Lucy keenly felt that something was wrong with Caesar since he met Pompey. He ate less and even ignored Lucy's provocation.

So Lucy asked Ling to enlighten Caesar, and Ling happily agreed.

He also joked: "It seems that Lucy still cares about Caesar!"

Lucy was also a little embarrassed and retorted proudly.

"Who cares about her? I just think the competition is about to start, and she's not in the right state to compete. Yes, that's it!"

Ling looked at Lucy with a smile: "Okay, okay, I believe you. How about I take Caesar to New Erie to have a look tomorrow? I need to go back and copy the offline data."

Lucy naturally agreed and promised to take care of Caesar's side and set off tomorrow morning.

The next day, Ling and Caesar set off early. After all, the focus of today's mission was to take Caesar out for a good walk.

The two of them first went to the video store to copy the data, and then rode their bikes to Guangying Plaza.

When it comes to watching movies, Ling has made a new discovery.

Although Caesar, as the eldest son of Calydon, is usually carefree, he is very loyal.

But she also has the gentle and delicate side of a girl of her age - she seems to unexpectedly like romance movies.

Caesar was extremely engaged in watching the film, especially the key plot in the second half.

Ling could even see her unconsciously clenching her fists, leaning forward slightly, and mumbling softly. She looked as if she wanted to rush into the screen and act as a love counselor.

Ling had already seen these movies, and it was indeed more interesting to watch Caesar's reaction than to watch the movies.

I accidentally discovered Caesar's little secret.

However, Ling did not pay too much attention to Caesar, as it would be bad if she made Caesar shy.

Ling opened the group chat and told the group members the whole story in detail, ready to ask the group members for help and advice to enlighten Caesar.

[Zero·Ling]: "That's the thing. I'm watching a movie with Caesar right now. Does anyone have any suggestions?"

[Bengtie Xing]: "So you still don't understand why Caesar is feeling a little down? So what advice can you offer?"

[Bengtie·Xing]: "If you have any questions, why not just ask directly? Why guess here?"

[Bengtie·March 7]: "Hey! You! Stop making trouble. How can you understand a little girl's thoughts?"

[Bengtie·Xing]: "How could I not understand? Obviously, asking directly when there is a problem is the best solution. I have always used it that way."

[Bengtie·March 7]: "I don't care. Ling, I think you can go shopping after watching the movie. Shopping will definitely make people happy."

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "Ling, I think Caesar's food hasn't been very good recently. Why don't you take Caesar out for a good meal?"

Ying read Paimeng's speech and tried hard to hold back her laughter. He was indeed a little foodie who never forgot to eat.

[Bengtie Danheng]: "Since Ling said that Caesar's depression began after meeting Pompey that night, perhaps the root cause lies there."

【Juequ Zero·Ling】: "Can you be more specific? What could be the reason?"

[Bengtie Danheng]: "Combined with the previous experience and resource control Pompey demonstrated in handling the internal traitor incident..."

[Bengtie Danheng]: "As a leader, Caesar faced this gap head-on, questioning whether his leadership was sufficient to support his ambitions and worrying about failing to live up to the expectations of his followers. This was a logical source of pressure."

[Zero·Ling]: "While there's some truth to that, Caesar has always struck me as carefree and generous. He probably wouldn't be stressed out by these things."

[Bengtie Danheng]: "Ling, you're right, but Caesar isn't that simple either. She's very sensitive to the people around her, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly appeared the night you were following Kasa."

Ling thought carefully about Danheng's words and felt that they made sense. Perhaps Caesar was like this because of the pressure.

I was just about to ask in detail how to enlighten Caesar, but the movie ended and Caesar rang the bell several times.

"Ring, ring?" Seeing Ling finally come back to his senses, "Is this movie really not to your liking?"

Ling, realizing what was happening, quickly waved her hands: "No, no! I was just... I was just overwhelmed by the sweet ending, and I'm still savoring it!"

She thought quickly, "Oh, Sister Caesar! We seem to have a few more movies of this type in our store, and they're all pretty good! Can you pick them up on your way back? We can watch them together next time we're free?"

Caesar's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great! No problem, it's just for fun!"

Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well... I'm feeling a bit thirsty after the movie. I know there's an amazing tea and milk shop nearby! Shall we go try it?"

Lu Luling, relying on her experience of having watched the movie, talked to Caesar about the plot of the movie and successfully made Caesar believe her statement that she was "immersed in the love between the male and female protagonists".

They arrived at the Licha Tea and Milk Shop smoothly. Ling sent Caesar away and ordered a few extra cups of tea and milk for everyone in the group.

After all, everyone in the group took good care of her and her brother. Although they couldn't afford to treat everyone to a meal at a high-end restaurant, they could still buy them a few cups of tea and milk.

[Juequ Zero·Ling]: "Thank you all for taking care of us brothers and sisters. Please have some tea and milk. You can go directly to the group warehouse to get it. I won't talk much more. I have to accompany Caesar for a walk."

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "Wow! Thanks, Ling! I happened to feel a little dizzy from soaking in the hot springs."

[Bengtie·March 7th]: "Got it! Thank you, Ling! It's delicious. When I have time, I will definitely treat you to Xianzhou's 'Immortal Happy Tea'. It has Star Taro Bobo in it, and it tastes amazing! Dan Heng can testify!"

[Broken Iron·March 7th]: "This reminds me of when I was practicing swordsmanship with Master Yanqing and Master Yunli. Sneaking in a sweet drink was the most wonderful thing in the world."

Everyone in the chat group thanked Ling for the tea and milk.

Ling was walking and chatting with Caesar in Guangying Square. Ling was organizing her words to try to enlighten Caesar.

But because he had never been a leader and didn't understand the pressure involved, he didn't want to say anything casually for fear of making Caesar uncomfortable.

At this moment, something strange happened. A fugitive ran from the side into a dark alley, and several sheriffs who reminded pedestrians to avoid him followed closely behind.

Caesar followed him in without saying a word. Although Ling was not surprised by this, she still felt a little worried about her safety and could only think of contacting him later.

Sure enough, after a while, Ling called Caesar, but before she could say a few words, there was no sound from Caesar's end. Maybe the phone broke during the pursuit.

But knowing that Caesar was fine was good, Ling decided to go back to the parking lot and wait, so that the two of them wouldn't get lost and lose track of him.

It was a long time before Caesar returned to the parking lot, looking much better.

After returning to the video store, Caesar rarely took off his usual carefree disguise and opened his heart to Ling.

It turned out that just as Dan Heng had analyzed, Caesar had indeed doubted his own abilities deep down, fearing that he wasn't doing well enough...

But fortunately, as long as I have revealed the words in my heart, I already have the answers.

At this time, you just need to say some encouraging words, and those bad moods will naturally be solved.

Fortunately, Ling also understood this principle, but it seemed that she played no role at all that day.

I felt a little sorry for Lucy. I was thinking of helping her, but Caesar got better first.

Chapter 30: Gathering in Wildfire Town

Another day passed on Ling and Caesar's trip to New Eridu.

It was a new morning, and the mist had not yet completely dissipated, but the simple parking lot in Wildfire Town was much busier than usual.

Ling's eyes looked back and forth at a remote place outside Wildfire Town, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes, a mixture of excitement and a hint of imperceptible nervousness.

"Brother, can they really travel through time and space to where we are?" Ling couldn't help but ask for the Nth time.

Zhe's face was as calm as ever. "Don't worry, it's definitely possible. Didn't Ying and Paimon travel directly into the cave to save me last time? There's no reason why they can't do that this time."

Ling and Zhe deliberately chose this secluded corner outside the town as the meeting point.
