Chapter 1691: line with translation of chapter title

NO．306：Evening is also a kind of optimism

While enjoying the fragrant coffee, exchanging opinions and discussing details, but also be careful not to let the momentum be too strong, blowing away the opposite side; (East Flame language note)

On one's birthday, one can wear the birthday law robe to say happy birthday; (Jidong language note)

The mushroom walked down the road, got hit by an orange, and the mushroom angrily shouted, 'You have no eyes, go die!' Then the orange died… Why? Because the fungus wants the orange to die, the orange has no choice but to die. (East Flame language note)

Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because atoms make up everything/they fabricated everything; (Hong English note)

The animal you must not provoke is the orangutan, because it beats its chest; (East Flame colloquial note)

No matter how quiet you are, Bud is even quieter; (Bade language note)

What will a butterfly with floral patterns become if it gets fat? It will become a prosperity butterfly; (East Flame colloquial note)

Use 'cake' to improve the 'atmosphere'; (Jidong language note)

If you're hungry, go take the subway, because there are 'turnstiles' there; (East Flame language note)

There was an East Flame person who went without food for several weeks; you guess what happened to him in the end? Did he die? He trained himself in Chinese fasting……

"Hey, Ludaofu! Enough already! Your cold jokes are smelly, rotten, and cold; there's no air tank here, give me your collection of cold jokes!!"

"If you want it, you have to come get it yourself."

"What are they doing?"

When the breath-held swimming intensity of three thousand meters was achieved, Chengtian BaiRen, returning from the sea currents, saw the two teammates each holding a small book, facing off.

"Intelligence training——although I want to say that, but as you see……"

Raise a hand to indicate that scene's Aomo, while also using the Mage's Claw to hand her a sports drink.

"It's the classic cold joke evaluation map seal war starting again."

Although puns are not the entirety of cold jokes, they at least count as an important and major component.

At the same time, it is also a common choice for Jidong people to display their sense of humor.

Since long ago, a certain Telesen Emperor has been troubled by his overly ingrained majestic image, trying to use some tricks to increase his approachability.

And her choice is obvious.

Cold jokes, only cold jokes!

The Jidong people's favorite pun cold jokes flow in the blood of every Jidong person (Ludaofu self-called), but likewise, cold jokes also require practice (Ludaofu self-called).

Coming from the environment of the symbolists that everyone who understands understands, the emperor obviously lacks any ingrained cold joke foundation; indeed, he must start from scratch like a little devil in a dojo, training as the Ludaofu Symbol, and thus he is full of confidence and drive——then!

Then……

Then the training partners obviously couldn't be ordinary trainees, because the emperor wanted to show affability rather than nervousness. So from the beginning to now, the training partners have all been in the Student Council, and among them, the most senior is obviously the Vice President beside the President's companion.

As everyone knows, the Central Student Council has only two Vice Presidents, and one of them is a permanently missing position.

——The result of Chengtian BaiRen's thorough understanding is to let the air tank bear weight forward.

Although in ordinary people's eyes, the lone wolf's guilt should be making the empress bear too much administrative work, but the fact is exactly the opposite: administrative work is a comfortable zone that the Student Council everyone has long been accustomed to and thus become skilled at.

Especially when the President's firepower goes full blast, everyone can raise their hands and shout, 'Great, it's Emperor Mode, we can get off work early!'

But cold jokes won't do!

That is a kind of mental devastation, enough to make the unsmiling empress's tolerance in this regard deteriorate further.

Admittedly, some expressions here are unclear; the deteriorating tolerance sounds like the humor point is getting lower and lower, lacking the qualities that training partners should have, but in fact, this tolerance refers not to the humor point but to patience.

——Quickly stop her! She's about to jump out the window!

Basically, this is the situation on site.

Furthermore, the later it goes, the higher the trigger frequency; ultimately, the daredevil who dares to point out the ruler's faults remains the same unruly spirit that once repeatedly challenged the throne on the field.

Qianming, representative, steps forward grandly!

With the warrior's mindset, launch words like projectiles toward the heart of the cold joke demon!

But, such an activity.

Unrelated to the lone wolf.

"Ha… can't you calm down at the seaside?"

Chengtian BaiRen, who gulped down the sports drink in one long gulp, screwed on the bottle cap and precisely threw it into the trash can several meters away, then casually asked:

"Hey trainer, are you finally free now?"

"For now, let's just say so."

Looking at her just now precise one-handed Aomo, hearing that, he turned his head to see the four horse girls about to finish the last weighted line not far away, then turned his gaze to the seaside where the girlfriends who had come over to join the fun were playing.

Looking over there, there's currently no sign of them coming over, but later it's hard to say.

Earlier, Miss Xingxiong was seen carrying several watermelons, unclear whether they were for eating or for playing the East Flame people's beloved blindfolded watermelon-smashing beach game.

Miss Chen Huijie had also placed a volleyball on the shore, clearly intending to organize a group activity.

But frankly, this doesn't count for much.

Whether nobody seeks him out, letting him stay quiet, or everyone comes to him, leaving him no leisure, it doesn't hinder him from continuing to rely on monster power as a base station to remotely control the puppets.

People just can't stay idle.

Especially when short-term goals haven't been achieved, they're even less able to stay idle.

Although he indeed hasn't found the chance to infiltrate the enemy's base, the bait that startles the snake has already been cast; now is the critical moment to check the buoy.

But even if this matter weren't happening…… he has always been devoted to promoting the Terra Federation's monster-related industry development, with the primary goal of getting the livestock industry off the ground, and that would still drive him to let those avatars run around everywhere.

Heaven Gate City is indeed far from the mother star to an extreme degree, but this distance, under the effect of the Star Gate, is actually nothing.

Their cooperation can likewise be established.

Especially, the cooperation between Heaven Gate City and Border Gate District is naturally close; it can even be said that these two urban areas have many residents and workers who can trace some friendship ties.

As a former and current Transmigrator Special Zone, and indeed being a large area where alien culture dominates, the trade and cultural exchange channels on both sides are already in place; all he needs to do is replicate his actions from the past few months:

Running around everywhere, helping to broker connections, seeking opportunities to witness more types of monsters and to see more ingenuity and research achievements.

There are still many things to do, and these also consume considerable mental energy; even for Aomo, who has already expanded the boundaries of spirit and thought to an almost inhuman degree, he must still make some choices about what to focus on.

Mental effort must be directed.

Compared to the leisure and ease here, your mental focus should naturally be placed on the serious, rigorous aspects over there.

He didn't even need to think; he decisively decided to participate here only in simple activities that don't tax the brain much, like chatting with people or doing light physical exercise that doesn't require seriousness.

"Can you help me apply some sunscreen?"

Right, just like helping someone apply sunscreen…?

Apply sunscreen?

Who?!

Who's framing me!!

Almost instantly, Aomo Lindun felt a flood of gazes converge on him, and his instinctive thought was exactly that.

And when he moved past that thought and saw that the speaker was Chengtian Bai Ren, who had just been chatting with him, he further contributed to reducing the carbon emissions of Heaven Gate City, instinctively sucking in a breath of cold air.

Bad.

Bad…

Although the other person wore a casual expression and spoke casually, those straight‑like ears still revealed some thoughts.

It wasn't just exposed to him; it was also exposed to everyone who was each busy with their own affairs.

It made Aomo feel that the gazes falling on him had decreased by about half.

But… this isn't worth feeling relaxed or happy about.

Because the diverted gazes are only temporary.

"Guinea Pig‑kun, didn't you forget to apply sunscreen to the assigned horse girl?"

"…"

I guess…

He felt that unless he could become a bloodless, tearless service machine, his idea of shifting his mental focus outward to external investigation would have to be postponed until evening.
