Chapter 92: Chapter 87: Travel

Xiao Yi had wanted to visit other countries from the beginning of the Mad Banquet Dungeon.

Moreover, he could go to Aolan Country to find Sheraya and have him as a guide to experience what Aolan Country was really like.

However, Xiao Yi really hadn’t expected Xu Yingguang to deny him!

This was the first time Xu Yingguang had refused Xiao Yi’s request, which left Xiao Yi somewhat perplexed. He wondered if it was because he didn’t have a passport.

Of course, Xu Yingguang knew that no matter how much he explained, Xiao Yi might not listen to him, might not understand even if he listened, and might not adhere even if he understood.

So, Xu Yingguang didn’t plan to say much more but instead gave Xiao Yi another option.

Though forbidden to travel abroad, within Dragon Country, Xiao Yi could go wherever he desired without further inquiry from Xu; all was permitted, and Xu would arrange everything for him.

Xiao Yi, initially somewhat sullen, suddenly became excited upon hearing this.

It seemed true what books said about the Dragon Country People liking compromise—mentioning going abroad was denied, but domestic travel was allowed.

With the vast and beautiful landscapes in Dragon Country, whether he could travel abroad or not no longer bothered Xiao Yi.

Just as Xiao Yi was preparing for a long journey to explore, Xu Yingguang suddenly sent him something.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xu asked me to give this to you. He said you must wear it at all times when going out."

A man in black brought a black gift box and presented it to Xiao Yi.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi opened the gift box to find a pair of glasses.

"Glasses?" Xiao Yi couldn’t help being puzzled. "I thought my vision was fine. Why does Uncle Xu want me to wear these?"

The man in black replied, "Considering your current situation, you will definitely be recognized when you go out, which might lead to troublesome circumstances. Therefore, Mr. Xu has prepared these glasses, which have now finally been crafted."

"Definitely be recognized?" Xiao Yi wondered when he had become so famous.

But upon further thought, it made sense. Sheraya and Dick seemed already to know what he looked like; perhaps he really did have a bit of fame?

Nevertheless, setting these thoughts aside, Xiao Yi asked again, "But what does wearing glasses have to do with it?"

"It’s like this," the man in black explained. "These glasses use optical technology that can alter how others perceive you to a certain degree, making you unrecognizable. Additionally, they have communication, AR, range adjustment, and anaesthetic dart launching capabilities."

"Oh! Although I don’t understand, just from hearing it, I know these are high-tech gadgets!"

Xiao Yi, who had been somewhat unenthusiastic, immediately became fascinated. After playing with the glasses for a while, he put them on.

"How do I look?" Xiao Yi asked the man in black.

"...This?" The man in black was taken aback for a moment.

Because, the moment he looked at Xiao Yi, he suddenly felt as though Xiao Yi was a stranger, like someone he had never met before.

But when he came to his senses and shook his head carefully, concentrating intensely on Xiao Yi, he realized that Xiao Yi’s appearance hadn’t changed; it was just his own perception that felt unfamiliar.

The man in black couldn’t help thinking that this wasn’t just some use of optical technology—this was outright altering human cognition!

However, with such high-level technology for cover, likely, no one else would be able to recognize Xiao Yi either.

The man in black immediately nodded and said, "Hmm, perfect! I almost didn’t recognize Mr. Xiao! So, if you go out in the future, please make sure to wear these glasses!"

Since the other party said so, and considering that Xu Yingguang had given them to him, Xiao Yi naturally wouldn’t refuse. Moreover, Xiao Yi stood up, went to the mirror, and liked the look of himself wearing glasses.

Especially with the glasses on, Xiao Yi felt that he acquired a more intellectual aura, appearing to others as a well-informed and intelligent person.

The more Xiao Yi looked, the more he liked the glasses, so he had no objections to Xu Yingguang’s instruction that he must wear glasses when going out.

In fact, Xiao Yi was quite happy to wear them.

Thus, with glasses on, Xiao Yi, under the arrangements of Xu Yingguang and accompanied by many others secretly watching over him, set off on a journey to the distant lands.

But it wasn’t long before Xiao Yi grew tired.

He found traveling incredibly boring.

It wasn’t that the scenery wasn’t beautiful, nor were the experiences dreadful; the scenery was indeed breathtaking, and the experiences weren’t bad, especially since it was the off-season, and most people were still working or studying, so there were no crowds, and Xiao Yi wasn’t tricked by locals, thanks to prior arrangements.

The reason Xiao Yi found it boring was just that he found the act of traveling boring.

Even if the guide dedicated to him pointed out beautifully picturesque sites and the stories behind them, he couldn’t derive pleasure from the mere act of traveling and naturally felt bored.

The only thing Xiao Yi found noteworthy was the local cuisine he tried during the trip. He couldn’t help but wonder if the most interesting aspect of traveling was the food.

Later, when Xiao Yi decided not to use his private jet and tried traveling by high-speed train, bus, and taxi instead, he finally understood the reason for his indifference towards traveling.

A traveler who loved traveling explained it to Xiao Yi.

He said, "Traveling, at its core, is about escape—escaping from the current environment. Even if that environment isn’t necessarily oppressive, looking at the same surroundings day after day can eventually become suffocating, so people wish to escape that environment and let the flowing landscapes wash through their hearts, taking away the monotony. But remember, escaping is not the same as evading."

Although some of that was a bit pretentious, Xiao Yi still managed to understand.

Xiao Yi also realized that he had no environment from which he needed to escape, so naturally, traveling was just so-so for him.

Thus, Xiao Yi decided right then not to travel anymore.

But what could he do next?

Xiao Yi pondered this question while wandering through the unfamiliar city, about to cross the street when a red sports car rushed toward him, honking furiously.

Even though it was a red light on the car’s side and a green light on Xiao Yi’s side at the crosswalk, he still had to retreat.

However, watching the speeding car blaze past, Xiao Yi suddenly thought of something.

The men in black watching over Xiao Yi from eight different directions all frowned at this scene and immediately issued instructions.

Following that, five large black cars mobilized, intending to properly teach the owner of that sports car what road manners meant!

However, just then, Xiao Yi’s voice came through their earpieces.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing his words.

Because Xiao Yi said, "I want to get a driver’s license!"
