1390 The Appreciation of the Light Velvet Race, Mysterious Stone Plate! (1)

You’re a good man?

Harrett and Billbrom thought they heard wrong.

This fellow didn’t look like a good person from any angle. They felt they were the good guys in comparison.

The furry creatures didn’t believe w.a.n.g Teng either. His ruthless behavior from moments before had left them terrified.

!!

Those furries had always lived on the planet, away from the rest of the universe, so they hadn’t seen such a fierce person before.

w.a.n.g Teng was speechless. Am I that scary?

The natives were looking at him as if he were a devil.

To think he actually saved them and they treated him like an evil man. Who could he complain to?

Fortunately, the natives knew that the latter did spare them from their plight, so they didn’t label him as evil right off the bat.

Furthermore, they witnessed the young human’s ability, so they truly wished he was a good man. If not, they would be caught between a rock and a hard place.

“Erm, h.e.l.lo. My name is Rong Li; I’m the chief of the Margera Tribe. Thank you for saving us.”

The chief was at the planetary stage, and was more than three meters tall. With a round body, he definitely seemed scared of the young hero. He released his spiritual wavelengths with care as he offered thanks.

Rong Li! The Margera Tribe! w.a.n.g Teng blinked. He nodded with a smile and said, “You’re welcome. Actually, we could be considered friends already.”

“Friends?” Rong Li was stunned.

w.a.n.g Teng wasn’t in a hurry to explain. Instead, he asked, “You’re members of the Light Velvet race?”

“Yes.” Rong Li was surprised. “You know our race’s name. Are you a friend who visited our planet in the past?”

“This is my first time here. However, I have a friend who’s been here before. He asked me to come so I’m familiar with your race,” w.a.n.g Teng answered.

“What’s your friend’s name?” Rong Li asked.

“Veblen!” w.a.n.g Teng made the revelation.

Before his trip, Veblen said he would contact the planet’s grand elder. However, this fellow of the Light Velvet race was just a head of a medium-sized tribe, not the acquainted grand elder.

Hence, he didn’t know if Rong Li would know of the scientist.

Still, he had no other choice. He needed to do something to gain their trust or they would be unable to communicate properly.

Rong Li was startled for a few seconds. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, “You’re Veblen’s friend?” He was using the common universal language.

“You know the common universal language!” w.a.n.g Teng was surprised.

“A few outsiders have descended to our planet over the years; Veblen was one of them. They left many things behind, including some knowledge. The tribe chiefs were asked to learn the common universe language to facilitate communication,” Rong Li explained.

“I see.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded thoughtfully.

“How do I address you?” Rong Li asked.

“w.a.n.g Teng!

“You don’t have to use honorifics. Just use my name!”

“w.a.n.g Teng? Let’s see… I think Veblen mentioned your name before, but I forgot. I’ve seen your picture before, but all humans look the same… That’s why I didn’t recognize you,” Rong Li said in frustration.

w.a.n.g Teng: …

What do you mean by ‘we all look the same’?

This Light Velvet race must be face-blind.

w.a.n.g Teng looked at the tribe chief and felt they were the ones who looked too alike instead. If he hadn’t studied about them, he wouldn’t know who was who.

Still, the problem was, the chief was a blurry one. He didn’t know how to recognize the fellow and had already forgotten his name. Could he be more reliable?

w.a.n.g Teng didn’t know what to say anymore.

Rong Li blinked his large and cute eyes, then scratched his head as he asked embarra.s.sedly, “Can you contact Veblen? I recognize him.”

w.a.n.g Teng didn’t consider the tribe chief’s incapability to discern his unique and handsome features.

He felt helpless about the whole matter, but he could only ask Round Ball to contact Veblen.

Concurrently, he waved a hand and formed a protective s.h.i.+eld around them. The ones outside couldn’t see or hear what was going on inside.

This was to prevent the mercenaries from overhearing, since they were still present. w.a.n.g Teng didn’t want to reveal his ident.i.ty that quickly.

Soon after, a hologram appeared. It was Veblen.

He was wearing his lab coat and was doing some experiments in his laboratory.

Moira stood next to him. She seemed happy to see w.a.n.g Teng and even waved at him.

Veblen glanced at w.a.n.g Teng and said, “Looks like you’ve reached the planet Light Velvet.”

“Yes.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.

“w.a.n.g Teng, have you met the Light Velvet people?” Moira asked.

“Yes, but…” w.a.n.g Teng sighed.

“But what?” Moira asked curiously when she saw his expression.

“It’s hard to explain. I have a friend here who knows you. You can have a chat with him.” w.a.n.g Teng shook his head dejectedly.

Then, he pulled Rong Li over, allowing Veblen and Moira to see him.

“Rong Li!” Veblen laughed happily when he saw the latter. “Long time no see!”

“Rong Li!” Moira greeted him with delight, too.

“Veblen, Moira, my friends. I’m so glad to see you.” Veblen was also elated; his furry face was filled with happiness.

They exchanged some pleasantries and Veblen understood why the young man had contacted them. He wanted to laugh.
