Chapter 1344 - 1343: Traveling to Mianguo with Lin Wan
"So, was the other side just coincidentally right?" Lu Zheng asked speechlessly.
"Theoretically, such large equipment shouldn’t end up out there."
Lin Wan smiled helplessly, "I heard someone in the Lighthouse Country was prepared to take the blame, but someone came up with the idea to pass it to the neighbor."
"Wait a minute..."
Lu Zheng curiously asked, "Even if the neighbor takes the blame, does that mean no one in the Lighthouse Country has to take it?"
"It’s all about how you handle things."
Lin Wan sneered, "If handled well, not only do you avoid blame, but there might be credit and you can let Interpol take over."
Lu Zheng was speechless, "Can Interpol really take over such things?"
"Nothing is beyond the Lighthouse Country," Lin Wan waved her hand dismissively, "Unfortunately, the neighbor isn’t a member of the International Criminal Police Organization."
Lu Zheng, "..."
"It’s just someone distancing themselves from the issue and shirking responsibility," Lin Wan said.
"What did we say?" Lu Zheng asked.
Then he saw the news push in the phone’s notification bar.
[Lighthouse Country military base loses radar, accuses us, we refute]
At the same time, a few more messages were pushed to Lu Zheng.
[The Lighthouse Country navy crashes again in Japanese waters, repair may take ten years]
[Al-Qaeda showcases Lighthouse Country equipment]
[Severe discrimination within the Lighthouse Country military]
"Cut, same old routine, not a bit of originality," Lu Zheng complained, "The people up there aren’t keeping up with the times."
Lin Wan snorted, "Why not directly promote our journey with the Immortals?"
Lu Zheng rubbed his nose and then said, "Although it’s a bit conservative, there aren’t many mishaps, so let’s keep it that way."
As soon as Lu Zheng finished speaking, he saw Lin Wan packing her things, "Hey, off on a trip again?"
Lin Wan nodded, "Been idle for a while, finally got some work."
"Where to?"
"Mianguo."
"Hmm?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow.
"Small matter, just a crime syndicate," Lin Wan said lightly.
"Phone scams?"
"Yeah."
Lu Zheng rubbed his hands together, "Do you need me to lend a hand?"
Previously, he and Lin Wan cleared out powder merchants twice in Three Kingdoms Corner, and now many traditional agricultural merchants have shifted to new media industries.
Recently, the domestic promotions have been quite intense, and Lu Zheng was thinking of circling back, but Lin Wan got the task first.
However...
Lu Zheng curiously asked, "Can the Mianguo government handle those areas?"
"Of course not."
Lin Wan shook her head, "This time it’s actually because the crime syndicate’s leader was caught in the capital during business, and since the person is from Hua Country, I’m going for extradition."
Lu Zheng sighed, "Another Hua Country person."
Lin Wan shrugged, "A large forest has many kinds of birds."
"Speaking of which, we haven’t traveled for quite a while, right?" Lu Zheng asked.
Lin Wan subtly said, "Didn’t you just return from a trip to Antarctica?"
"Ahem..."
Lu Zheng couldn’t help but cough and then changed the subject, "How about when you return from this business trip, we take a vacation and go to Mianguo for a trip, reminiscing the glorious days of the past."
"Just the two of us?"
"Just the two of us!"
Lin Wan pursed her lips but couldn’t help a smile and then gave Lu Zheng a kiss on the cheek before heading out.
...
A week later, a young man in shorts and a t-shirt appeared alongside a stunning woman in a dress on the streets of Yangon, Mianguo.
Although they intended to visit Mianbei’s media industrial park, it was merely incidental, and the most important thing...
Of course, was to accompany his wife on vacation!
It so happened that due to Mianbei’s growing reputation, not many respectable Hua Country people dared to travel here.
Without this prevailing global tourism powerhouse, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan had a relaxing and enjoyable time.
The hotels weren’t expensive, and the seafood was cheap.
As a country with a per capita GDP of only a thousand US dollars, the purchasing power of RMB was quite strong.
Thirty yuan could buy a seafood feast, and four hundred yuan could secure a five-star hotel.
The sky was blue, the clouds leisurely, surrounded by green trees and flowers, as well as monks in red robes, and temples scattered throughout the city.
Although the infrastructure, travel, and city appearance looked similar to third or fourth-tier cities in Hua Country, the overall environment was great, leisurely, and pleasant.
If it weren’t genuinely unsafe here, it would be the ideal travel destination for ordinary people.
Lu Zheng shook his head, "What a pity."
Lin Wan said flatly, "No pity. When one lacks ambition, no one can help them."
Then the two arrived at Yangon’s most famous Great Golden Pagoda.
A hundred meters tall, over a hundred square meters base, weighing seven tons of gold foil, and fifteen thousand bells.
Viewing from the tower below was truly stunning.
"They say this tower was initially formed around 500 BC?" Lin Wan asked.
Lu Zheng shook his head, "I don’t know, but even if there was a prototype then, it had nothing to do with Buddhism."
"Why?" Lin Wan asked.
"Because the Upper Realm’s Tathagata Buddha reincarnated as Shakyamuni around 500 or 600 BC," Lu Zheng explained.
"Uh..." Lin Wan swallowed, "How do you know Shakyamuni on Blue Star is the reincarnation of the Upper Realm’s Tathagata Buddha?"
"Lingxi guessed," Lu Zheng shrugged, "She even guessed that Old Ran is the reincarnation of the Supreme Lord Laojun."
"What about the Primordial Celestial Venerable and Tongtian Sect Leader?" Lin Wan couldn’t resist asking.
"That’s from a novel," Lu Zheng glanced at Lin Wan, "You’re a cultivator, the legitimate Daoist Three Pristine Ones include the Lingbao Celestial Venerable!"
Lin Wan, "..."
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "Maybe in some realm, he became famous as Tongtian Sect Leader, spreading the name to Blue Star as well."
"Now I can’t tell which legends to believe and which not to," Lin Wan sighed.
Lu Zheng shrugged, "Better to believe them than not, besides...
When we ascend to the Upper Realm, I’ll take you to ask the Supreme Lord Laojun personally."
"Thank you very much..."
Walking and chatting, they circled the Great Golden Pagoda but didn’t wait for the night view and left the scenic area, returning to the city, where they bought a large durian from a street vendor.
"The fruits from the homeland, ripened on the tree, taste the best!" Lin Wan praised.
Lu Zheng managed a smile, "As long as you like it."
Lin Wan offered a piece, "Have a bite?"
Lu Zheng quickly waved his hand, "No, thanks!"
Maybe after seeing many couples where the girl eats happily and the boy frowns, the store owner stood by smiling.
But hearing their conversation, the middle-aged female store owner couldn’t help but ask in Chinese, "Are you from Hua Country?"
