Baiyi found a seat and sat down, smiling as he said, "Lord City Lord, I've hit a small bottleneck and plan to head out for a while...."
"No way!" Eric interrupted before Baiyi could finish, firmly refusing.
Are you kidding? A genius of this level, if he just informed those old folks in the council, a legislator would immediately take residence in Dongwu City. Go out? The federation would explode!
Baiyi paused and seriously said, "I know what you're worried about, but I have a hunch that the opportunity for a breakthrough lies outside the city."
Eric frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you have to go out?"
Baiyi's eyes were sincere, "Yes, I wouldn't joke with my own life."
Eric pondered for a while, "Alright, I'll go with you."
Baiyi shrugged helplessly, "What about Dongwu City?"
"Heidinger, that old guy, will come over tomorrow, let him stay in the city. I haven't gone out for a stroll in ages anyway," Eric replied decisively.
