2076 Back to Narrow Moon
Han Sen submitted an application at the general services building, requesting that his daughter be allowed to join him in Sky Palace. He received permission, and so he left Sky Palace and returned to Planet Eclipse to pick her up.
Han Sen was careful not to attract attention on the trip, and his return voyage was not impeded by troubles. He brought Baoâer into the geno universe half-way, and then went to Narrow Moon.
He took Baoâer to meet Yisha, who quickly grew fond of her. She allowed Baoâer to stay on Planet Blade, while Han Sen went back to Planet Eclipse.
Han Sen knew that Yisha intended to investigate Baoâer. The Rebate did not have strictly enforced rules like Sky Palace, but they wouldnât allow someone unknown to occupy a high level district.
It wasnât as if she was an ordinary immigrant, either. Relatives of an important person required some testing to see how far along they themselves might have progressed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Han Sen wasnât worried, though. Baoâer was incredibly smart, and he was sure sheâd have no problems.
Back on Planet Eclipse, Xie Qing King, Gu Qingcheng, and the others had all become Earls. Zero, Dragon Lady, Han Mengâer, Little Angel, and Wang Yuhang were Earls, too.
Han Senâs friends had geno arts that were easier to level up than The Story of Genes, and they did not have to practice four different geno arts at the same time, either. In combination with the many resources of Planet Eclipse, this allowed them to level up quickly.
âOld Han! We are already Earls, and the resources on Planet Eclipse canât support us beyond Marquise. We would like to explore and practice off-world.â Xie Qing King told Han Sen.
Gu Qingcheng, Wang Yuhang, and Dragon Lady wished to do the same. Han Sen agreed to let them practice someplace else, but he also tasked them with recruiting. That way, Han Sen could bring more people from the Alliance, when they returned.
Perhaps it was because of the gold bird markings, but the refugees that populated Han Senâs base were now Baron nobles. He had enough people there, as well.
âHan Sen, I have heard about you killing Sharon and Dragon Thirteen, beating Dragon Nine in Return Ruin Sea... Your name is all over the geno universe! Everyone knows Knife Queen has a genius student named Han Sen now.â Black Steel came to Planet Eclipse, looking troubled. He went on to say, âBut until I become a Duke, Father wonât allow me to leave Narrow Moon. I really want to go and explore with you.â
âIf you want to practice, Narrow Moon is the same as anywhere else you could go. Thereâs little difference. Compared to what Iâve been doing, Iâd rather remain in Narrow Moon. I would stay here if I had a choice.â Han Sen laughed.
âDonât say that. Iâm not leaving, anyway,â Black Steel sighed. âBy the way, Rebecca is throwing a welcome party. I am here to invite you to come.â
âI donât have a very good relationship with the people of Moon Garden. Why would they think of inviting me?â Han Sen was surprised.
Black Steel rolled his eyes. âThings are different now. You have earned a brilliant reputation out there, so now youâre Narrow Moonâs golden boy. No one wants a rivalry with you now. Given the absence of any grudges you might have been worried about, perhaps you should go and pay them a visit?â
âSure. Iâll take your advice.â Han Sen smiled.
He went to Planet Moon Wheel with Black Steel. Rebecca, Du Lishe, and the heirs of other Kings were all gathered there.
This gathering was quite different from the knife events that Han Sen had attended before. Back then, no one cared for him. Everyone looked down on him, and they didnât bother speaking to him. But now things were different. Han Sen was like a visiting celebrity. The heirs of every King were very polite to him, constantly complimenting him. He talked to more people on that one night than in all the time he had lived in Narrow Moon before.
Han Sen had placed first in the Sky Palace exam and fought Lone Bamboo. He killed Sharon and Dragon Thirteen, and he also beat Dragon Nine. All those feats made Han Sen the first of a new generation of elites in the geno universe.
Although Han Sen had a low chance of ever becoming a King, it wasnât an impossible task. No one wanted to make him an enemy, either.
âHa! Itâs only his fifteen seconds of fame. All of this is nothing to boast about. Itâs all for naught if he canât become a King, anyway.â Sad Night, who was supposed to be the focus of the nightâs proceedings, was sitting in a corner and whining into his drink.
Night River King had the biggest grudge with Han Sen. Sad Night harbored one, too. He didnât like Han Sen becoming so famous.
âThese guys are really short-sighted. They only see Han Senâs fame now. They arenât paying any attention to the difficulty Han Sen has leveling up his geno arts. There is no way heâll become a King. Itâs really funny how theyâre licking his boots now.â Sad Night heard a voice. He turned around and saw a young Earl Rebate walking towards him with a drink.
Sad Night frowned. He did not recognize the young man. Perhaps it was someone of little renown. The young Earl raised a cup to Sad Night and said, âMister Night, my name is Vikdo. Can I speak to you alone after the event?â
âWhat for?â Sad Night looked at him with disdain.
âI have a way in which you could beat Han Sen and take his fame for yourself. Are you interested?â Vikdo said.
You can do that?â Sad Night raised an eyebrow, but he didnât seem too interested in the young manâs claim.
âIâm not an important person. There is no reason for you to be impressed by me. But you recognize this, donât you?â Vikdo pulled out his phone and showed Sad Night a video.
When Sad Night saw it, he looked stunned. He balked, âWhere did you take this?â
âIf you are interested, then letâs resume speaking after the event concludes.â Vikdo smiled.
After the event was over, Rebecca and Du Lishe escorted Han Sen out. They brought him right to the boarding ramp of his aircraft.
âBrother Han, if we have done something to upset you, itâs because we acted foolishly. Please donât hold it against us,â Rebecca said, then presented Han Sen with a box. âThis is a gift weâd like you to accept. It is an apology, and a hope that youâll forgive us, for the way we mistreated you in the past.â
âItâs okay. Even friends argue sometimes. And I was new to Narrow Moon. I didnât know you guys,â Han Sen said with a shrug.
âEven so, please take this. How about we be friends?â Rebecca smiled, placing the wooden box in front of him.
âYou guys are so nice. Thank you!â Han Sen took the wooden box and smiled at them both.
