Chapter 591: Chapter 379 Superior Among Men_2

He rode Qing Hong out of the Public Array and walked aimlessly down the streets.

The seemingly ordinary district actually contained a lot of Ether Technology. The ground was clean and tidy, and the building materials were quite peculiar, as if even the tree by the roadside hid a story behind it, but what Ji Xinghuo found most curious were the pedestrians.

There were so many races!

Most of the races he had never seen before, Ji Xinghuo couldn’t even distinguish between Star Realm natives and alien Alien Races.

There were over a dozen just in human forms.

Due to convergent evolution, similar natural environments in the Star Realm as well as the Galaxy always evolved similar species with four limbs and facial features, upright and walking, with only some differences in appearance and parts.

Of course, even if they looked alike, being not of the same race still meant reproductive isolation.

The difference was even greater for those races with strange and peculiar appearances.

But no matter the race or status, pedestrians on the street, upon seeing Ji Xinghuo, all made way or took a detour from afar.

The pseudo-dragon people he encountered all gave respectful greetings.

It seemed free and at ease, but in reality, the social hierarchy was strict.

Just by appearance, Ji Xinghuo felt like an upper-class person in the True Dragon Dynasty.

Not until that moment did he suddenly realize that Earthlings resembled True Dragon people way too much!

Height, body shape, facial features, skin, and so forth, Earthlings and True Dragon people were almost identical, the greatest difference possibly being in demeanor. The innate pride and confidence of True Dragon people, along with their perfect appearance, were hard for ordinary Earthlings to mimic.

But as long as Earthlings dared to impersonate, especially if they were handsome men and beautiful women with better figures, and fused with Alien Species bearing the aura of True Dragons, they would be convincing enough to deceive others.

Then came the eyes.

The pupils of True Dragon people shone with a spirit, various in color, carrying an oppressive feeling.

In normal times, Ji Xinghuo’s eyes were very restrained, with black pupils showing no anomalies, but to disguise as a True Dragon person, he slightly stimulated "Overload" to make currents flicker in his eyes constantly, truly a gaze as sharp as electricity!

Even if another True Dragon person faced him, it would be hard to distinguish the real from the fake.

Not to mention other races.

"I wonder if Earthlings and True Dragon people have any reproductive isolation?" Ji Xinghuo pondered the thought.

Then he had an epiphany.

The Winged People from the Sky Feather Royal Court were so wary of Earthlings, could it be related to the racial image of Earthlings?

The existence of Titanium Cobalt Dragon people from the Asia-Pacific Community was no secret; the Winged People must surely be aware.

The Winged People were wary of Earthlings but dared not invade openly, choosing to create trouble through the Qianyuan Association in secret, likely because of the presence of the Titanium Cobalt Family. They might speculate that there’s some relationship between the Asia-Pacific Community and the Titanium Cobalt Family.

Combining what the leader told him, it seemed to be the case.

"Time to go shopping."

Ji Xinghuo came back to reality, with Electromagnetic Induction scanning all the time. Although he seemed to be walking around aimlessly, in fact, he had avoided any Fifth Rank or higher powerhouses to prevent unnecessary complications.

Qing Hong turned onto a street with fewer people, and after a few turns, they arrived at a deserted place.

Ji Xinghuo immediately dismounted, allowing Qing Hong to shrink and pocketed it.

He then breathed a sigh of relief.

His Flashing Battle Boots twinkled, and Ji Xinghuo instantly moved tens of meters, emerging from another direction, he hastened his steps to leave the area. Then, he took off into the sky and landed on an aerial walkway connecting two buildings.

He passed through the aerial walkway and entered the mall.

After casually strolling around for a while, Ji Xinghuo finally spotted a store and walked in nonchalantly.

"Respected sir!"

An employee passionately approached to greet him.

Ji Xinghuo gave the individual a look, with a body slim like bamboo at noon, deep green skin, and two pairs of arms, one pair resembling blades, the entire person looked like a standing, walking mantis, but the pair of huge eyes contained a gleam of wisdom and rationality.

He did not recognize what race it was. With an indifferent face, he said, "I’ll look around myself."

"Yes, sir."

The green-skinned Alien Race did not dare to show any discontent. After another respectful bow, he politely retreated to the side, but his attention remained on Ji Xinghuo, ready to heed any call.

Others in the store, be they staff or customers, all glanced over, yet dared not look too long at a True Dragon person.

This was a "book" store.

However, the medium carrying the content was not a book in the conventional sense, but an artificial crystal stone, about ten centimeters long, one finger wide, and very thin, similar to bamboo slips on Earth, but its capacity was a million times greater than that of bamboo slips.

This "stone slip" was manufactured using Ether Technology, and it could be used normally in the Star Realm, though its storage was far less than that of an electronic chip.

A single stone slip could store about ten books.

But it was limited to text information only, and both reading and writing required the use of Star Power, which ordinary people couldn’t use.

Even so, the stone slip was the most convenient storage medium in the Star Realm.

Ji Xinghuo casually picked up a stone slip, injected a wisp of Star Power, and the content within was displayed before his eyes.

Written in True Dragon script, he scanned it twice, and it was a novel.

So he put it down.

He casually browsed through the bookstore for a while, holding some stone slips he was interested in as a cover, and finally went to the "Geography and History" section, where his gaze immediately found several stone slips with titles he wanted.

"Dynasty History," "Biographies of Dragon Emperors," "History of Dragon Territory Division," "True Dragon Species Appreciation," "Bloodlines and Genes," "Geographical Analysis of Candle Star Dragon Domain," and so on.

Ji Xinghuo had already learned some of this content.

But it was certainly not complete.

Even though the contents of these dozen or so books were rather superficial and did not touch upon the real core, they were enough for him to gain a deeper understanding of the True Dragon Dynasty.

Ji Xinghuo pretended to flip through the stone slips in his hand nonchalantly, picked a few, and continued to other shelves, selecting a few more stone slips, and browsed through the entire bookstore.

"How much?"

He placed all the stone slips in front of the staff.

The greenish Alien quickly tallied up the price of the stone slips and said with a smile, "My lord, the total is sixty thousand two hundred, but you can have them for fifty thousand."

The currency was naturally in True Dragon Coins.

The exchange rate of True Dragon Coins was very high on Earth, but in the True Dragon Dynasty, the purchasing power was much less than on Earth, because the productivity here exceeded Earth by more than an order of magnitude, and the stone slips themselves were also quite expensive.

Ji Xinghuo paid the fifty thousand True Dragon Coins expressionlessly, took the stone slips, and left.

From beginning to end, he didn’t directly look at the bookseller or anyone else, behaving arrogantly, but everyone present was accustomed to it.

Such was the way of True Dragon people.

In truth, Ji Xinghuo dared not talk too much for fear of exposing himself.

After leaving the bookstore, Ji Xinghuo wandered for a while and then entered a restaurant, where as expected, he received special treatment. He ordered a private room and, after asking the waiter to serve the food, instructed not to be disturbed before he took out the stone slips to examine them closely.

A wealth of text appeared in his view, and he read through the pages quickly.

His eyes did not blink.

With Overclocking Thought, Ji Xinghuo’s reading speed could reach more than ten times that of an ordinary person, and his comprehension ability greatly increased. He had already learned many of these knowledge contents, so his absorption and understanding were very efficient.

After a little over an hour, he finished reading several stone slips.

The food on the table was fully consumed by Qing Hong, while Ji Xinghuo hadn’t eaten a bite. He paid the bill, changed to a more distant restaurant, entered a private room, and continued reading.

Half a day later.

Ji Xinghuo came out of the third restaurant.

He had finished all the stone slips he had bought, gaining a vast amount of knowledge about the True Dragon Dynasty. Although he couldn’t fully digest it all at once, his understanding of the True Dragon Dynasty had increased by a level, no longer vague but now clear and distinct.

This made the chance of being exposed while impersonating a True Dragon person even lower.

Ji Xinghuo looked eastward.

"Traveling from Canghuo Territory to Yuan Magnetic Territory, I’ll have to pass through Tungshan Territory. The fastest way, of course, would be to use transposition, but since I’m not a Dragon Lord, I must choose the safest of the three routes. It will take at least three days to fly, yet I can’t go too quickly," he mused.

A map of routes appeared in his mind and, after some deliberation, he chose the one of medium distance. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly became alert.

Looking up, he saw three Canghuo Dragons descending from the sky.

In the midst of the strong winds, the three Canghuo Dragons surrounded the street he was on, and more military forces were moving closer, causing Ji Xinghuo’s heart to skip a beat, not understanding what the problem was.

A loud voice came from the back of the largest Canghuo Dragon: "Impersonating a True Dragon noble, you deserve death!"

Damn it!

Ji Xinghuo hadn’t expected to be exposed so soon and without hesitation, he turned and fled, soaring away toward the distance.
