Chapter 298 Remote Control

"Alright. But before I speak, could you tell me what you talked about with Old Liu and Old Li? Why are they so respectful to you in such a short time?"

Lingye blinked, her face full of confusion, and asked.

His curiosity was now burning like a flame.

"Oh dear, I have never seen anyone treat another person with such kindness and gentleness as they treat you. Please, tell me what happened."

Unable to contain her desire, Lingye eagerly moved forward and plopped down opposite Meros, leaning forward and staring intently at him, as if afraid of missing any detail.

Moros glanced at Ling Ye and saw that his face, which should have been that of a mature and steady man, was now filled with a childlike curiosity. This sight was something Moros couldn't quite handle.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you then."

He clicked his tongue and said helplessly.

“At the time, I noticed from a distance that the energy fluctuations on your instrument looked very familiar. So, I couldn’t help but move closer to take a closer look.”

"I was shocked when I saw it. It was extremely similar to a certain instrument we used in ancient times, and it even had our ancient characters clearly engraved on it. So, naturally, I explained to them the specific meaning of those characters."

Then, Meros began to recount the whole story.

After saying this, Meros spread his hands and shrugged, indicating that the whole process was that simple and straightforward.

However, Ling Ye was stunned when she heard this, her mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

"Huh? Just because of that?!"

He exclaimed incredulously.

Clearly, Lingye found Meros's explanation too bland and uninteresting.

"Yes, that's exactly why."

Faced with Lingye's question, Meros could only frown and reply.

His words revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Tsk, alright, alright. To thank you for your outstanding contributions to our research, I'll report this and discuss it with you when I get back, to see what you want."

Lingye shrugged helplessly.

"By the way, what do you usually use this machine for?"

Lingye suddenly thought of something and asked a question.

"Well... how should I put it, it's a kind of detector. It was mainly used during wartime to detect the enemy's energy fluctuations. Although it has other functions, this is the main one."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever examined this thing so closely!" Meros said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

"Huh? Even royalty like you can't easily see it?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Ye, who was standing to the side, widened her eyes and asked in surprise.

It should be noted that, based on the information Ling Ye had and the time he spent with Meros, he knew that Meros was not only a member of the royal family among the alien races, but also held an extremely prestigious status.

Moreover, judging from the powerful aura and outstanding abilities he displayed when searching for Lin Xiyue, his status within the clan must be extremely high.

Yet, even someone of such high rank and power felt unfamiliar with what was before him.

Could this thing really be that mysterious and powerful?

"Well... it's not that it's completely unwatchable. It's just that this thing has been carefully preserved in a museum. If I wanted to go and see it carefully like I just did, I would need to go through a series of tedious and complicated procedures and formalities, which is too troublesome. So, I have never taken the initiative to go and see it."

Meros nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then explained.

"Moreover, from what I've observed, what you're exhibiting here seems to have undergone some careful modifications, making it easy for even you humans to control and use."

He paused, then added.

After saying that, Meros gently shook his head, revealing a faint sense of emotion.

After listening attentively to these words, Lingye nodded as if she understood, and told Meros that she had fully grasped their meaning.

"Then I'd like to ask another question: would it be feasible to use this machine to detect the alien races hiding in the shadows of the city?"

Immediately afterward, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but become somewhat anxious.

At this moment, Moros casually crossed his legs and sat comfortably in the large executive chair.

"Yes, of course, no problem!"

"This machine can not only accurately detect targets, but also distinguish between registered alien races and unregistered ones. It's very easy to operate."

"However... we've already switched to a more advanced version, but unfortunately, those high-end models are unusable by humans. Because to operate them, we need to input our unique energy frequency."

A hint of boredom crossed his face, but he still answered patiently.

After saying that, he continued to casually touch and fidget at Lingye's table, seemingly looking for something interesting to pass the time.

Before long, Meros's hand touched a strangely shaped object.

Upon closer inspection, this thing looks quite like a remote control, but it only has a few buttons on it.

These buttons are: a power button to turn on the device; four up, down, left, and right buttons to control direction; a button labeled "OK"; and a last, particularly conspicuous red button with the word "Emergency" clearly written on it.

"Hey, what's this?"

With a puzzled look, Meros picked up the small, exquisite object from the table, turning it over and over in his hands, examining it carefully with curiosity and a look of inquiry in his eyes.

The object was rectangular, entirely black, and had only a few buttons and two indicator lights on it, making it look quite rudimentary.

"Oh, this is the treasure of our camp! It's the remote control for all the facilities in the camp."

Seeing Meros playing with the remote control, Lingye stood up with a smile and said.

"That's it? Just a few buttons?"

Meros raised an eyebrow.

"Of course not, let me show you."

After saying that, Lingye reached out and gently took the remote control from Moros's hand.
