The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 284 Changing the Map
Subtitle of this chapter: With a roar from Southampton, our Master Yuan makes a loud appearance again!
Saturday, June 18, 1921, in the evening.
After nine full days of reading time, our Yuan Da Warlock, on board the "Maiden's Love", finally arrived at Booty Bay from Stranglethorn Vale...
Long live the Horde!
SORRY, I seem to have been interrupted.
But then again, the technological level of Earth in 1921 seemed to be lagging behind that of Azeroth , and there were not even goblin airships and portals.
After a transatlantic voyage of just nine days, our Master Yuan, on board the "Olympic", finally arrived at the port of Southampton in England from New York, America.
Since it is an island country, the British Empire has several good ports on its mainland, such as London, Manchester, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Bristol, etc. However, Southampton is the terminal for almost all transatlantic mail ships.
In other words, he switched from the map of the next world hegemon to the map of the current world hegemon.
For Yuan Yanshu, this time travel was like playing a game. It was just that the game he was playing had a little more freedom and the NPCs were a little more realistic.
Standing on the deck with him, gazing out at the harbor, a very realistic and beautiful NPC said excitedly, "We're finally in England... This is my first time abroad!"
She asked Master Yuan, "Boss, have you ever been to England?"
Yuan Yan, leaning on the railing, sighed and said, "Ai Si, how should I put it? I've been here once, too."
Of course, he came to Britain a hundred years later.
Yuan Hongjian is the only child born in the 1990s from a well-off family in a first-tier city. Young people like him don't have to worry about the big issue of housing. Even the money for buying a car is "borrowed" from their elders. Naturally, he has no burden. Spending tens of thousands of RMB to travel to Europe is nothing.
His great-great-uncle left the country in 1917, when the European War was still raging. Why would he end up in such a war-torn place? So, Yuan Yanshu boarded a ship in Shanghai, sailed across the Pacific, and then crossed the North American continent to New York.
However, the British Empire he "once" came from had become a harmless "big corrupt country".
However, now, the British sun has not really set and is still the number one overlord on this planet.
After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the British Empire officially became the largest empire in terms of land area in human history, with an area of 33.67 million square kilometers, due to the acquisition of vast colonies from the German Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
It’s equivalent to the combined land area of the three major powers, China, the US, and Russia, in a hundred years. What a huge map!
Of course, as a time traveler, Yuan Yanshu is very sure that the sun that never sets today is like the "sun in the west", and it will eventually "set..."
"Ms. Moman, Dr. Yuan. You can disembark now."
As passengers in the first-class cabin, they naturally had the right to disembark first, so Yuan Yanshu and his group were the first to walk down the gangway and into customs.
And because Miss Moman was too excited, they walked in the front.
Perhaps it was because these people were dressed in fine clothes and had extraordinary temperaments that even Master Yuan, a yellow man, did not face any difficulties. However, the British looked at him strangely, as if they had recognized him.
Yuan Yanshu was not surprised. His photos appeared in major American newspapers every now and then, and he even defeated the British military attaché, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander. It was natural that someone here knew him.
But our Master Yuan did not expect that as soon as he walked out of customs, he would meet many British people who knew him.
The twenty or thirty British people were quite enthusiastic, waving their fists at him excitedly and cheering loudly...
"GO TO HELL!"
"Go back, opium man!"
"Chinese monkeys, you are not welcome!"
Not only did they shout slogans that were disgusting to hear, they also rushed towards him aggressively.
Not far away, a few guys who looked like reporters had raised their cameras, apparently wanting to take pictures of Yuan Yan being surrounded.
Hey, what do you say?
Is it possible that my aura is so strong that I am so popular as soon as I arrived in the UK... then I am not popular.
Our Master Yuan doesn't usually read the newspaper, except when he's making big news himself. It's not his fault for not wanting to learn; if he wants to know what historical events happened on a particular day, he can just poke the Master Ball. Why waste time?
Apart from the occasional Times and the Daily Mail, he read no other British newspapers.
However, because of his articles "Nine Comments on the Democratic Party", his attack on the Times' New York correspondent, and the duel, these things combined made some British people, especially some British people in the Conservative Party, hate him to the core.
So when they heard the news that he was coming to Britain, some ignorant people "spontaneously" gathered together to give him a warning.
The female secretary saw that something was wrong and said in a panic, "Boss, let's get out of here!"
At this time, Xiaokang, who was following behind him, also rushed in front of him and said solemnly: "Second Master, hurry up. I'll cover you..."
"Humph, why are you leaving? I don't need cover... Wait, I still need cover, Xiaokang, don't move!"
Yuan Yan suddenly took out a small iron box from her arms, hid behind Condor and swallowed a poor insect.
When Miss Moman saw this, her face was distorted to the point of being unbearable to look at. She cried out in shock, "Boss, what are you doing? This is disgusting!"
Our Master Yuan turned around and shouted, "SHUT UP!"
"Pah!"
Her secretary seemed to be seasick. She staggered a few steps and then sat down on the ground.
Xiaokang, standing nearby, was also affected by the sound waves. He shuddered and swayed a few times. Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts since childhood, so his lower body was very stable. In the end, he did not fall like the poor secretary.
Vertebrates maintain their body balance by relying on the vestibular organ in the inner ear. If a particularly loud sound enters the ear, this situation will occur.
"Xiaokang, get out of my way!" Yuan Yanshu ordered in a voice as low as possible.
Unexpectedly, his driver yelled, "Second Master, what did you say?"
"Hi!"
Master Yuan had no choice but to push aside Xiaokang, who had been deafened by him, and face the protesters who were only three or four steps away from him...
Then he took a deep... a very deep breath. At this moment, the strong man running in front of him had already swung his fist at him...
"KNEEL FXCK DOWM!"
Someone who was going through customs formalities frowned and asked in surprise, "Hey, why is it thundering?"
Another person said: "No, this is not thunder, but..."
"Fire!"
Everyone rushed out the door, even the customs officials followed.
Katydids are a well-known group of singing insects. The outstanding members can produce sounds as loud as over 100 decibels.
By the way, this thing is commonly known as katydid, but this name is really too low-class.
Now he was a humanoid katydid, his roars almost as loud as the roar of a cannon. And that was because he was only a level zero insect vein sorcerer, and could only exert the power of the katydid to a very small extent.
When he reaches a high level, it won't be impossible for him to make the river flow backwards with just a loud shout.
But even a level zero insect vein sorcerer is enough to give these guys a hard time.
They all gave our Master Yuan kneel down.
So what others saw was that Yuan Yan suddenly shouted and dozens of people fell to their knees.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Those photographers left behind a precious historical record.
Oh, this is the famous "Southampton Persuasion Incident".
This incident was just the starter for our Master Yuan's arrival on the British Isles. Compared to this minor incident, it wouldn't be long before he would poke a massive hole in the sky above these three islands.
The sun sets in the west, and the pretentious people are far away.
He put his hands behind his back, looked up at a 45-degree angle at the setting sun that was about to sink below the horizon, and sighed softly, "JING WO RU JING SHEN!"
"Brother Hong, Hong, Hongjian..."
"I'm not Yuan Hongjian, I'm..."
Yuan Yan, who was too immersed in the play, finally came to his senses. He was not so lucky to travel to that exciting novel of "Urban Cultivation of Immortality".
Yuan Yan turned around and said in surprise, "Qi Sen..."
Well, why isn't it ringing?
Alas, my level is still too low. After shouting a few times, my voice returned to normal.
"Qi Sen, you are really something. Didn't I tell you in the letter not to pick me up? Why did you come anyway? You are so polite."
"I, I, I missed you so much after we parted ways in New York. That's why I just want to see you soon."
Xu Zhimo saw his old friend, who had remained calm, finally manage to speak clearly. However, he still pointed at the people kneeling on the ground and asked, "Brother Hongjian, what's going on?"
"Amori, this..."
Our Master Yuan immediately spotted a young Seres man standing beside Xu Zhimo, and changed the subject, "Who is this..."
"Oh, let me introduce him to you." Xu Zhimo pointed at his companion and said, "He's your fellow townsman, Chen Junyuan."
My fellow townsman is called Chen Yuan. Isn’t this Chen Xiying?
What a coincidence! My name is Chen Beixuan...
Yuan Yan shook her head, extended her hand, and said in her Wuxi accent, "It's Mr. Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I dare not call myself Mr. Hongjian the master." He shook hands with him politely and replied in his native accent, "My courtesy name is Tongbo."
"Brother Tong, you are too polite..."
Our Master Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked at "Yun Zhonghe", and a question arose in his mind.
When Xu Zhimo's cousin was writing the character of the "Old Naughty Boy" Zhou Botong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", did he refer to his cousin's good friend?
It seems wrong. Zhou Botong was cuckolding Prince Duan, while Chen Tongbo was cuckolded by someone else... a little foreigner.
That's right! Xu Zhimo's little cousin is really naughty. If his name is reversed, his life will be completely changed.
"Neo, are you okay?"
Just then, a voice called out from behind them.
The three turned around and saw a group of foreigners rushing towards them again.
In fact, these foreigners are Master Yuan’s friends. Among them, only Mrs. Einstein has never witnessed the magic of "Master Fool".
Therefore, although they were a little surprised, they were not too shocked.
As Major Arcana of the SCP Foundation, they were of course aware of their leader's extraordinary qualities, and "Lord Fool" had also promised them that if they made due contributions in the future, they would gain the same magical abilities as him.
Hasn’t “Your Excellency the Judge” “learned” to transform his body into gaseous form?
For "Lord Fool", it's just a matter of having a few less cards to show off. Not only can he gain the loyalty of his followers, but he can also change the style of the world. It's definitely worth it.
"Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Xu Zhimo suddenly pointed at someone inside and exclaimed, "Isn't he, he, Albert Einstein?!"
Don't underestimate this scumbag's role in the history of cultural exchange between the East and the West. He was a bit of a scumbag in his love life. However, he was not only the first to introduce Kaihensi to China, but also the first Chinese to popularize the theory of relativity in Chinese.
"What is Albert Einstein? Qi Sen, I decided to translate his Chinese name into Albert Einstein."
Yuan Yan quickly corrected him, then said somewhat proudly, "You should know that he is also my friend. This is a good opportunity to introduce you to each other."
Xu Zhimo couldn't help but applaud and said, "Excellent!"
So with Master Yuan's introduction, his Chinese friends and foreign friends became friends.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
Just as they were introducing themselves to each other, several British policemen came running over with sirens blasting. I guess they had received a call from the police.
They were also surprised to see the scene in front of them, but the sunlight had not completely disappeared yet, there was a large group of onlookers around, and the "suspect" was a Chinese.
These three factors combined gave them courage. The one with the highest status among them pointed at Yuan Yan and said, "Chinaman, what have you done?"
"snort!"
However, this Chinese guy was too lazy to pay attention to this level of policeman. He snorted, pretended not to hear, and turned his head away to continue talking to the person next to him.
His lawyer, Mr. John McCall, came before the police with a stern face...
"Who are you? What's your relationship to that Chinaman? What did he do?"
“I’m a lawyer!”
"By the way, what's a Chinaman called?"
"And what did my client do?"
The imposing "Emperor" pointed at the kneeling guys and said, "You can go ask them."
"you……"
"I what I?"
Just when the two sides were about to quarrel, several gentlemen squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the scene.
"Are you Mr. Louis Baker?"
Mr. Baker asked, "I am, and you are..."
"I'm the manager of the Southampton branch of the First National Bank of New York. My name is..."
Louis said happily: "Mr. Manager, you came at the right time..."
The good thing about the capitalist world is that rich people can act with impunity.
With the manager's guarantee, our Master Yuan was finally not thrown into jail as soon as he arrived in the UK, but he still had to stay in Southampton for a few days to cooperate with the investigation.
Now they could get in the car and drive to the Baker family's villa in Southampton.
"Hey , I seem to have forgotten something..."
After the car drove for some distance, our Master Yuan finally remembered that he had forgotten something at the dock.
"There's a lady here who has fainted. Does anyone know her?"
"If no one recognizes her, we'll have to send her to the hospital first."
