The Geared Immortal

Chapter 998 - Heaven And Earth Opening: Welcome!

Chapter 998

(Unedited)

Inside a simple-looking house that looks like an apartment building, there is a spot where a small garden could be seen in the middle of a room. In that garden, the dirt began to slowly form into a figure of two people.

As the dirt began to form it soon solidifies and then transformed into Shin Jiao and Nariz Gumal. The two then found themselves standing in the middle of a small flower garden.

"Shin Jiao!" the two were suddenly shocked by the loud scream coming from behind them.

Luna Halil and Maga Luan are currently having tea in the courtyard near the garden. When they noticed that the dirt in the garden suddenly forming into two people, they both showed excited looks on their faces.

Luna did no stand on ceremony and quickly hugged Shin Jiao without restrain. He was a bit taken aback but patted her head as he could feel the warmness in her embrace. It is the feeling of having a family member excitedly and happily waiting for your return.

In his life, after his grandfather died, Shin Jiao lived a lonesome life. He did not have anyone to turn to and has lived his days without the warmth of a family. He soon found someone to share it with, in his college days. It was his first girlfriend, Shi Anne Li, but that still felt a bit different.

The thing that occupies most of his life was the secret military service. And that diverted his attention for a while until he discovered his passion for research and technology.

But in his life, he truly did not have someone to call his family, until he began forming his own in Gaeus Ro. And after he left for the immortal land, he once again experienced a lonely life.

But now, with Luna Halil and Maga Luan, he feels like he already has another family. Now he has two sisters that are worried about him, waiting for his return, and is excited to see him.

As Shin Jiao smile and hugged the two women, he could feel that he is not lonely once again.

As the three separated, Luna Halil immediately asked for something.

"Hey, you came out for a long time… Did you bring some souvenirs?" she asked excitedly.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback and did not know what to say. In fact, he has a lot of things in his dimension. A beautiful saint ruler's body, an elemental dragon, some rare ores and specials stones, and some of the things he crafted… Those are just some of the things he has in there.

Suddenly, he thought of something and takes out a helmet.

"What is this? We already have more advanced gears for the virtual world." Luna said with a frown.

"This is different… This one doesn't need the soul to enter the mainframe of the immortal land to work. This uses a special stone that could only be found in the Land of Death. Well, that is as far as I know. I have not heard that a stone like this existed in the immortal land." Shin Jiao said as he showed the helmet.

The eyes of Luna Halil immediately glowed in excitement. Something that does not need the immortal land soul mainframe… That is something really amazing, right? She immediately got the gist of it and could already think of many ways to use the helmet.

"You mean localized mainframe… and… and one's own design!" she said excitedly.

Shin Jiao who heard her nodded his head.

"I would advise against opening it for the time being…" Shin Jiao warned.

"By the way, this is Nariz Gumal…" Shin Jiao was suddenly introduced.

The two were a bit taken aback upon seeing another beautiful young woman behind Shin Jiao. The eyes of Luna turned into slits as she eyed Shin Jiao with suspicion.

"I know that look in your eyes… Nariz will be working with us from now on. She is a High Lord and is very good with research and development of machines… You can ask her about my present and the other plans that come with it." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

That night, the four of them shared a lot of stories and talked for a while before going to rest.

The next day, Shin Jiao received a call from Xiamen Gong.

They have already prepared to accept those immortals that were trapped in the kingdom of Xinglo. Shin Jiao has already given them the scanner yesterday, that way, no other parasites would be able to enter and might cause havoc.

They did not let the others pass through the portal at that time because of the parasite that those despicable mages from the Phoenix towers has used. So they decided to go first and set up everything, and prepare the Long clan to accept the survivors.

After talking for a while, the call was done and Shin Jiao was greeted with the delicious smell of Maga Luan's cooking.

This is one of the things he missed the most when he was away. Although Shin Jiao knows how to cook, and he could have meals in the Xinglo Kingdom, yet no one can compare to the delicious taste of Maga Luan's cooking.

After breakfast, Shin Jiao walks outside and looks at the entire Ji village. The previous rustic feeling in this place was now changed into something partly reminiscent of the modern world on earth. The structures of the buildings have changed, and the streets have been transformed. Vehicles of every kind could be seen on the streets.

But there are no flying artifacts in the air which baffled Shin Jiao a bit.

On the side upon noticing the change in his expression, Maga Luan immediately explained.

"We have a lot of accidents a few months ago, that's why Master Ji Ha-jun decided to ban flying in the village and in the nearby town. So… many people decided to put wheels on their flying artifacts. Except for swords and other flat artifacts, most have wheels and could travel through the roads."

Shin Jiao nodded his head in understanding.

The two then arrive in a tall modern building and saw many people walking to and fro.

"It seems that this place became really busy…" Shin Jiao said with a smile feeling a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Ahh… Yes, ever since the headquarters was transferred here along with the research and development core, this place has been busy."

"Transferred? I did not receive that information…" Shin Jiao frowns.

"Ah… Sister Luna said that it would be a surprise to you, so…"

Shin Jiao did not ask more questions, he knew that Luna has her own plans. She is after all 10,000 years old older than him…

He did not say anything and just walk inside and saw the efficiency of the work of the people in every department.

He nodded his head as he feels that the village is really in good hands with Luna and the group spearheading the progress. After all, he is not good with management and those kinds of stuff. He can do research, create things, fight, and can do espionage, but management and running a company is not his forte.

The two then arrive inside a large meeting hall where many of the managers and executives of the village are seated inside.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback when he felt that there are many saint rulers in the meeting hall.

He then remembers the smug look on Luna's smile when they last have a meeting in the virtual world. She claimed that they now have large and sturdy walls to lean on in case any problem arises.

Seeing the powerhouses inside the room, he could not help but smile wryly.

When they enter, everyone also noticed the two. But no one give head to them as they took their seat on the side.

Shin Jiao did not want to be the center of attraction this time.

As soon as they took their seat, a handsome-looking tan-skinned man shakes Shin Jiao's hands.

"Are you guys also new in the village?" he asked enthusiastically.

Maga Luan did not say anything and just smile shyly on the side. Shin Jiao was a bit confused at the enthusiasm of the guy beside him. But he did not want to act haughty or anything, so he also nodded his head.

It is not a lie though as he felt that everything in the village is really new. In just a few months that he left this place, huge changes seem to have occurred which surprised him a lot.

"That is good. I heard others are talking about Heaven and Earth opening, I wonder what that is... Plus they said that there is a special guest who came to the village. I'm excited to see who the special guest is. In my stay here in the village, I feel my strength has actually improved. This is all thanks to that man Shin Jiao who developed this village… If only I could meet him." he said in a low voice.

Shin Jiao just shrugged his shoulder while Maga Luan has a beautiful smile on her face.
