Chapter 1300: No Longer the Same

After learning about the general situation of T’Challa’s meeting, Lin Rui felt considerably relieved. It seemed that even with his involvement, not everything would necessarily present unexpected difficulties.

So, after sending a message to Rogers’ side, Lin Rui became more relaxed, truly embracing the role of a tourist as he followed Shuri to explore Wakanda.

It had to be said that being away from the Earth’s space, far from the environmental destruction caused by centuries of industrial expansion, Lin Rui keenly felt that the environment in Wakanda was much better than Earth’s.

If one were to make a comparison, Wakanda’s environment was even more pristine than the best-preserved tropical rainforests on Earth.

Of course, this was just one aspect of it. On Earth, the better the environment, the more remote the human presence. However, in Wakanda, due to the surpassing technology, even in tribes that appeared quite primitive, their everyday items were highly advanced.

During the visit to the nomadic tribe just now, Lin Rui could sense something subtly different about the seemingly ordinary tribal people herding cattle and sheep on the grasslands. It could be due to Wakanda’s weaponry, which Lin Rui wasn’t aware of, or perhaps their own strength.

After the meeting had concluded, Lin Rui followed Shuri to visit several tribes before returning to the futuristic central capital of Wakanda. With Shuri’s guidance this time, Lin Rui and Bucky didn’t need to dress up as local tribespeople.

Although T’Challa’s meeting had already concluded, only a few tribal elders were aware of the fact that SHIELD had sent an ambassador for diplomatic exchange with Wakanda.

Along the way, the curious and probing glances of the locals lingered on Lin Rui and Bucky, but after exploring outside for so long, they naturally could ignore this kind of curiosity.

Following Shuri, Lin Rui and Bucky did not return to the laboratory where they had spent a long time before. Instead, they entered a more lively and spacious room. At the entrance, several bald, serious-looking female warriors who had been guarding Shuri all along stopped in their tracks and stood guard at the door as Shuri continued inside.

In the elegant and technologically advanced central hall, apart from Black Panther T’Challa, his mother, and a tall elder in purple robes stood by his side.

Lin Rui, playing the role of a SHIELD diplomatic envoy, couldn’t help but show a suitable amount of surprise and curiosity on his face when he saw these two influential figures. However, in Lin Rui’s heart, he wasn’t a stranger to these two.

“Your Majesty, it’s a pleasure to meet you again.” Stepping forward to T’Challa and his entourage, Lin Rui greeted them with a smile.

While greeting, Lin Rui made a Wakanda gesture, crossing his fists in front of his chest. Naturally, Bucky, who was following behind Lin Rui, also silently imitated the gesture. At this moment, his identity was not just a regular friend of Wakanda’s King T’Challa but also Jackson Lin, SHIELD’s special diplomatic ambassador.

Facing Lin Rui’s polite greetings, T’Challa’s mother and the elder by his side remained calm and didn’t return the gesture.

“Lin, this is my mother, and this is our elder of Wakanda,” T’Challa said as he indicated the two figures standing next to him.

“Hello, and welcome to Wakanda. I believe your visit to Wakanda this time will be an unforgettable experience,” T’Challa’s mother said with a smile as she stepped forward to Lin Rui, her eyes radiating warmth.

“Thank you, I’ve already sensed the wonder of Wakanda,” Lin Rui replied with a smile. As an “ordinary” diplomatic envoy, Lin Rui appeared quite composed. ⱤἈꞐօʙΕȿ

After the introductions, T’Challa led Lin Rui and Bucky to a room that resembled a meeting room. They gathered around a large silver-white table, with Lin Rui, Bucky, and the top-ranking leaders of Wakanda sitting opposite each other. The official exchange between the two sides was about to begin.

Based on the information Shuri had shared on the way here, Lin Rui wasn’t too worried about the upcoming conversation. After all, on the Earth’s exterior, a Royal Guard of Wakanda was also in talks with Rogers. In other words, as long as both sides negotiated well, Lin Rui’s plan could indeed be realized flawlessly.

“Lin, although the way you came to Wakanda this time may not have been entirely straightforward, we won’t discuss that now. So, have you really decided to establish stable diplomatic relations with us in Wakanda?” Once they were all seated, T’Challa was the first to speak.

“Not entirely straightforward? Weren’t Bucky and I invited to attend the New King’s Inauguration Ceremony?” Lin Rui couldn’t help but mutter to himself upon hearing T’Challa’s words.

However, Lin Rui naturally didn’t reveal any of this on his face. “Yes, after we discovered that there was another civilization on Earth that shares common origins with the rest of the world, we thought about joining forces with you.”

Lin Rui began by answering T’Challa’s question. After scanning the faces of the people opposite him, he continued, “After all, Earth is no longer the same planet it was decades ago, where internal conflicts were the biggest issue. It has now become a cake that can attract superpowers and beings from other dimensions at any moment.”

“There’s no doubt that Wakanda is currently the most powerful on Earth, and this conclusion was reached after we gained some insight into Wakanda. But living in Wakanda for a day has made me realize that Wakanda’s development may have already surpassed the average level of the universe. This makes me think about a few more things, and the information we received about Wakanda is just a tiny part of it.”
