Chapter 51: Chapter Fifty: Arriving in London

~7 min read 1,331 words

Before continuing to write, I'll follow up on the previous issue: Selinna has now drunk Alexander's fresh blood, her bloodline purity has risen to the level of the progenitor, and she already possesses the ability to read memories through blood.

……………………

Days and nights have passed.

The progenitor vampire's source blood has not yet been completely devoured and merged; besides, returning to the manor means being lovey‑dovey with Selinna, and Su Qing, who has not yet merged Alexander's perfect source blood, still fears sunlight. Therefore, he set out from Hungary all the way to Dayingguo, just as he came, traveling by night and resting by day.

Afraid of missing the Titanic, Su Qing hurried on as soon as the sun set, only stopping to rest at dawn.

Unnoticed, in the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

Sob……

Clang clang clang……

We've arrived, we've arrived……

Inside the station, the train staff struck a triangle bell and called out.

The carriage door opened, Su Qing stepped off the train first, looked left and right, and felt that things were still as they were when he left.

He immediately merged into the crowd, and before long left London Station, arriving on the street.

At this moment the sun set and night fell upon the earth.

Yet the street crowd did not thin; instead it grew thicker. Su Qing walked slowly with his luggage, pondering his next moves.

His obsession with the Titanic stems mainly from three goals.

First, for the ship itself.

After all, having come this far, not seeing with his own eyes this great ship that was dubbed 'unsinkable' from the moment it was launched would be a pity.

Second, to confirm the world setting, which is very important.

Now he has downloaded the source blood of the Blood Wolf Progenitor and Alexander's perfect blood; once these three source bloods fuse into a super‑mixed bloodline, almost nothing in the night‑movie world can threaten him.

With such power, he could be Superman on Monday, Hancock on Tuesday, an ancestor on Wednesday, on Thursday simply say 'I don't eat beef', on Friday declare world peace — if they aren't peaceful, choke them and ask whether they are peaceful, on Saturday proclaim 'My Earth', and rest on Sunday; there's nothing wrong with that.

But all of the above hinges on one precondition: that this world is purely the Night Legend movie universe.

And to determine whether this world is purely a Night Legend world, one need only board the Titanic, after all, Little Lee's face is unmistakably recognizable……

As for why confirming the Titanic confirms the world setting, we must bring up the cockroach theory: spotting a cockroach often means unknown corners hide a swarm of them.

Put another way, if we discover the Titanic is a movie, it means this world certainly still contains many movie plots.

And to tell whether the Titanic is a cockroach, one need only board the ship oneself to find out.

Third, it's for the people aboard the ship.

He plans to go to Yingguo (Mei Jian) to start a business and launch a company, and entrepreneurship has three core resources: product, connections, and capital.

First, he can easily handle product and capital with his foreknowledge, but the only thing that's troublesome is the connections.

After all, he's a yellow‑skinned East‑land person in a country where ethnic discrimination is severe; though not to say it's impossible to get by, he certainly won't have an easy time fitting in.

Yet there are many people of background on the Titanic; if he rescues them and becomes their lifesaver, those connection resources will naturally come knocking.

He also didn't know when the ship would set sail; back when he watched the movie he was busy watching the heroine and didn't notice the time, so Su Qing genuinely feared he'd arrive late and find the ship already departed.

"Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper?" a child's voice called from beside his ear.

Su Qing snapped out of his thoughts and saw a boy in coarse cloth clothes standing to his side, a cloth bag slung over his shoulder, holding a stack of newspapers, looking at him hopefully.

What a coincidence — he just wanted to learn about recent conditions in Dayingguo.

"How much per copy?" Su Qing nodded and asked the price.

"Six pence." the newsboy replied happily.

"Give me one."

"All right, thank you, sir. Have a pleasant evening."

……

Watching the newsboy's retreating figure, Su Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the newspaper in his hand.

One can only say that the Titanic in this era is indeed shocking enough; even half a year later, the newspaper's front‑page headline is still about it.

【The unsinkable ship Titanic has begun ticket sales, with a deadline of March 30, and it is heard that various tycoons have already purchased tickets】

"Better lucky than early."

Su Qing raised an eyebrow, glanced at the other news, found nothing useful, and simply crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it into the nearby trash can.

It is now mid‑February; ticket sales run until March 30, leaving more than a month, plenty of time.

If so, then there's no rush.

After thinking, Su Qing lowered his gaze to his chest; four or five seconds later his personal info appeared: "Origin Bloodline: rank unknown, has completely devoured and merged the higher‑grade vampire bloodline, currently devouring and merging the progenitor vampire's source blood, progress at 99%."

When he left the manor, the devour‑and‑merge progress had already reached ninety‑nine percent.

Based on past progress, he estimates it will be just these two days.

By then he will be able to perfectly merge Alexander's source blood, completely eliminating his weakness to sunlight and making future actions easier.

However, installing the bloodline will cause a rejection reaction with his body; he'll likely have to faint for a period as before.

Last time it was seven days; he doesn't know how many days this time will take.

He must not faint for three or four months and miss the Titanic, or he'd suffer a huge loss.

Speaking of the quality of the perfect blood, such a possibility really exists!

Selinna isn't by his side; otherwise he could have told her to wake him up forcibly if the timing were off.

Now, alone in London, he doesn't even have an acquaintance.

While Su Qing was secretly worrying, he suddenly felt someone approach from behind, and then his arm was seized tightly.

"Huh?" Su Qing didn't sense hostility, so he didn't dodge; he merely turned his head and saw a strange woman looking somewhat surprised.

"You……

"Sir, want to play? Six pence……

The woman had fair skin, was very attractive, and wore a black robe; as she spoke, she pulled open a corner of the robe, revealing the thin, flesh-colored strap underwear inside.

Damn, that's so sexy!

At this time, even abalone sellers in Dayingguo are this bold?

Hiss!

No wonder it's the empire where the sun never sets; indeed, it's awesome class.

Unfortunately, Su Qing hadn't had his fill yet when the woman lifted her black robe, her eyes full of allure, saying: "For just sixpence, you can watch all night, and for an extra penny you can…"

Her words stopped at just the right point, but here silence speaks louder than words.

Seeing that Su Qing, this little fish, was already intoxicated by the bait's allure and unable to pull himself away, the woman immediately let go, hooked a finger at him, and walked into the nearby alley.

Watching the woman's swaying waist, Su Qing glanced inside and discovered a 'Rose Hotel' deep in the alley, and suddenly a bold idea came to mind…

Reasonably speaking, the abalone seller wants money, and I happen to have plenty.

As the saying goes, making reasonable use of resources is a form of wisdom.

Moreover, one can stay here, perfectly solving the upcoming lodging problem—it's simply the best place possible.
