Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Mysterious Mission?

“Please rest assured, dear host, products from the system are always top-notch!”

“Although the prize might seem like junk from a trash heap, do not doubt the production techniques of a Level Five civilization. Please compare a generation one micro nuclear fusion reactor with a plastic bottle from a human garbage dump, thank you.”

Mo Jingchun: ???

Plastic bottle!!!

Isn’t that a bit exaggerated!

And if I take this thing out, how am I supposed to explain it?

Am I supposed to say I found it? Don’t be ridiculous.

Mo Jingchun shook his head and sighed.

Forget it, for now, I’ll let this thing collect dust in the system warehouse.

When the company has its own building in the future, we can see if there’s an opportunity to bring it out for research.

If all else fails, I can use it as an emergency backup power source then.

While Mo Jingchun was lost in thought, Candy stuffed a cherry into his mouth.

Snapping back to reality, Mo Jingchun smiled and patted the little one’s head.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Thump thump thump~

Strangely, Mo Jingchun felt a little anxious.

Could it be? That thing is still lying in the system warehouse, untouched, and someone already knows?

After all, apart from Colonel Zhang Aijun, no one else has ever knocked on this door.

Holding onto Candy, Mo Jingchun walked to the door, peeking through the peephole to see who was outside.

Sure enough, it was indeed Colonel Zhang Aijun!

Opening the door, Mo Jingchun winked at Colonel Zhang Aijun.

Zhang Aijun glanced inside and teased Mo Jingchun:

“Took you so long to open the door, are you hiding some treasure in there?”

“No way!”

“Alright, enough chit-chat. Pack your bags and come with your sister, Candy, and me. There’s a very important project that needs your involvement. We’ll inform your school, so don’t worry about that.”

Mo Jingchun asked nervously, “Just participating in the project?”

“What else? Do you think we’re inviting you on a vacation?”

“Oh, then no problem.”

Zhang Aijun looked at the slightly baffled Mo Jingchun with some confusion.

Meanwhile, Mo Jingchun felt a sense of relief inside.

Damn, Zhang Aijun came at the perfect time.

Scared the life out of me.

Normally playful Candy was quiet in Mo Jingchun’s arms, her big eyes fearfully watching Zhang Aijun.

Standing at the door, Zhang Aijun gave the little one a gentle smile, causing Candy to shrink back her neck in fright.

In the bedroom, Mo Jingchun packed only the necessities for his sister Candy, three changes of clothes, and his usual laptop.

After triple-checking to ensure nothing was left behind, Mo Jingchun wheeled the suitcase out of the bedroom.

“I’ll carry the suitcase for you.”

After closing the door and heading downstairs, Mo Jingchun directly got into the military vehicle.

Despite knowing better, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but excitedly ask, “Where are we headed?”

“The airport.”

“The airport? We’re leaving Jing City?”

Driving, Zhang Aijun nodded without saying anything.

There were no drama-like green lights all the way; at red lights, even in a military vehicle, they still obeyed traffic rules.

After more than an hour, they finally arrived at the airport.

Without going through security checks, Zhang Aijun drove directly into the airport.

By this time, Mo Jingchun was already captivated by the massive object at the airport, looking like someone who’d never seen the world before.

And not just Mo Jingchun, Candy was the same.

Mo Jingchun never expected to see a Fat Lady at the airport, and it seemed that’s what they were going to board.

The little one pointed at the massive Fat Lady in a babyish voice to Mo Jingchun:

“Bro～”

“Plane～”

“It’s an airplane.”

The little one nodded her small head, “It’s a plane～”

Suddenly, Mo Jingchun realized he hadn’t informed Xu Pengfei about this sudden departure.

Hastily, Mo Jingchun pulled out his phone and called Xu Pengfei.

The phone was answered after just three rings.

“Hello, boss, did you want to talk to me?”

“Xu Pengfei, I’m heading out for a while, unsure how long. I might be unreachable during this time, so please keep an eye on the company with Su Wenyan. Don’t let the new tech hires idle; have them develop a company website, and tell them not to do a sloppy job thinking they can fool me. If I find the website subpar when I return, I’ll fire them all.”

By then, the military vehicle had already stopped beside the Fat Lady, and the quick-handed Zhang Aijun had opened the trunk, retrieving Mo Jingchun’s suitcase.

“Alright, that’s it. I’ve got to go.”

Just after hanging up, a soldier approached.

“Hello, please place all electronic devices into this box.”

Mo Jingchun turned to Zhang Aijun and said, “I’ll need my laptop later.”

“Don’t worry, all electronic devices will be returned upon arrival. There, only a local network is available; there’s no phone signal.”

Holding Candy, Mo Jingchun shrugged, “Alright then.”

After handing over all electronic devices, Mo Jingchun went through a security gate, followed by a manual check, before finally boarding the Fat Lady with Colonel Zhang Aijun.

Big, very big, extremely big.

The space inside the Fat Lady was enormous, loaded with many unknown goods.

After sitting down, Zhang Aijun produced another seatbelt from somewhere, securing Candy to Mo Jingchun.

And to be honest, it was quite secure.

However, the little one strapped in seemed uncomfortable, her small hands incessantly fiddling with the seatbelt.

Soon, everyone had boarded, and the huge cabin doors began to close.

Suddenly, Mo Jingchun realized that this transport plane seemed to be specifically waiting for Colonel Zhang Aijun and him.

It was Candy’s first time on a plane and she felt a bit uneasy. The little one clung tightly to Mo Jingchun’s hand, her eyes darting around.

“It’s okay, brother’s here.”

Mo Jingchun placed his hand over Candy’s chest, gently comforting her.

The Fat Lady flew continuously, and without any electronic devices, Mo Jingchun had no idea how long it had been in the air or where it was.

After another ten or so minutes, Mo Jingchun noticed the Fat Lady’s altitude decreasing.

It seemed like they were nearing their destination.

Mo Jingchun tensed up as the plane smoothly landed.

After waiting for about a minute, the cabin door slowly opened.

A dry, hot breeze hit them, feeling as if they were in a desert.

Quickly, Mo Jingchun realized he was right. As far as the eye could see, there was just sand, nothing but sand.

Using his clothes to shield Candy’s face, Mo Jingchun followed Zhang Aijun into an indoor area.

Indoor and outdoor were two completely different worlds, and whatever technology they used, the indoor temperature and humidity were just right, and the air was fresh.
