Chapter 515: Disappointment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the game time was over and Jiang Fei was forced to go offline, there were already more than seven thousand civilians on Hua Mulan’s team. Jiang Fei had also ransacked four towns and obtained countless supplies.
However, the only thing that troubled Jiang Fei was that his Reputation Level with Hua Mulan had increased to Admire. If he continued with this, by the time they had to save ten thousand civilians tomorrow, this chick would become Infatuated with him.
Although this caused Jiang Fei a bit of a headache, he was already forced offline at this time. So, everything in relation to the game could only be put aside for now.
“0541, let’s go!” After eating something, Jiang Fei got on the Gigantic Saber once again.
After a night of rest in the game, Jiang Fei was feeling refreshed. One was guaranteed to enter the deepest level of sleep while in the game, which was absolutely the best for rest.
After leaving this uninhabited island, Jiang Fei was once again surrounded by the endless ocean. It was the sea and the sky no matter which direction he looked at. It was impossible to tell where he was.
“0541, where are we currently at?” After flying for about four hours, Jiang Fei asked 0541.
“We’re currently in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Midway Islands is fifty kilometers southeast!” 0541 projected a map in front of Jiang Fei as he spoke.
“Mmm!” Jiang Fei nodded. He was familiar with the Midway Islands. He had heard about this place repeatedly in history cla.s.s. They say that more than two hundred years ago, when the j.a.panese still did not get along with the Americans, the two countries had a fight on this island. The j.a.panese lost miserably and since then their country’s strength had declined. Eventually, the j.a.panese were tamed into becoming watchdogs for the Americans.
“Captain, I recommend you avoid going in the direction of the Midway Islands. There are large military radars there and our civilian invisibility device might be detected by the radar if we’re at close range!” 0541 warned.
“Okay!” Jiang Fei did not take the risk. After all, even though he had added a weapon system onto the Gigantic Saber at his feet, it was still a civilian Anti-gravity Hoverboard. If it gets detected by radar, one supersonic missile could easily kill him!
After deviating from the Midway Islands, Jiang Fei continued to fly aimlessly. Looking for Braveheart fragments was like looking for needles in a haystack. Jiang Fei had to constantly fly at a height close to the sea so that 0541 could receive the signals that Braveheart fragments emitted.
Although 0541’s active scanning range was three thousand kilometers, Jiang Fei could not bear to activate such a large energy-consuming function. Even though he still had enough energy for now, he had yet to find the engine room. The nuclear energy he had was decreasing by the seconds and he did not want to ransack a uranium mine again. After all, if he did such a thing a few more times, the European Vatican would definitely get angry. If they hunted him down, Jiang Fei would be no match for them as he barely had the comprehensive strength of a Level 4 Metahuman.
Therefore, in order to save energy, Jiang Fei could only let 0541 accept the signals pa.s.sively instead of turning on the search function. Hence, 0541’s search range was greatly reduced.
After flying for another five or six hours above the Pacific Ocean, 0541 finally gave some pretty good news!
“Captain, I’ve discovered a signal that looks like a Braveheart fragment signal, but it’s very weak. I need further confirmation!” 0541 sounded surprised.
“Tell me the approximate location!” Jiang Fei did not talk nonsense. After all, the closer they were, the more accurately 0541 could determine the source of the signal.
“Southwest direction! The specific coordinates cannot be determined!” 0541 gave an approximate direction!
“Alright!” Jiang Fei immediately drove the Gigantic Saber in the direction 0541 mentioned.
“The signal source has been determined!” 0541 said, about ten minutes later.
“Is it a Braveheart fragment?” Jiang Fei asked immediately.
“Yes!” Although 0541 gave a positive answer, 0541 sounded somewhat disappointed.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Fei asked.
“Although this is a Braveheart fragment, it’s totally useless. It’s just the wreckage of kitchenware from the Braveheart’s kitchen!” 0541 said.
“Pfft… we got excited for nothing!” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes.
“Captain, you don’t have to be disappointed. Even though the wreckage of kitchenware from the Braveheart’s kitchen has no value, this still shows that this spot is one of the areas where the Braveheart fragments had fallen. So, there might be other fragments nearby!” 0541 said.
“That makes sense!” Jiang Fei nodded. If the wreckage of kitchenware here, it means that it has not been discovered by others. After all, the other people on Earth were not as picky as Jiang Fei. In their opinion, as long as it was an extraterrestrial product, it did not matter whether it was plush toys or kitchen pots and pans, as all of them had research value. Hence, once found, these items would definitely be taken away.
If the wreckage of kitchenware was still here, it meant that humans have not discovered this place!
“Continue searching!” Jiang Fei nodded. Then, he began to use this kitchenware wreckage as the center point and started to enlarge his flight radius bit by bit, in an attempt to look for other fragments.
Unfortunately, however, the search for fragments was not an easy job. When the sky darkened, Jiang Fei still did not find anything.
“Let’s find a small island and take a break for now!” Jiang Fei was also pretty tired at this time.
This time, Jiang Fei did not ask 0541 to search for islands that he could land on, because he had already noticed several small islands when he was flying around previously. So, Jiang Fei chose the nearest one and flew there directly.
After landing, Jiang Fei ate something then sat down against a coconut tree.
“It’s so difficult because we’re always trying to find a needle in a haystack!” Jiang Fei sighed.
“It can’t be helped. Currently, there are many things that have not been solved. The stored energy that I have must be used with care, so we can only look for fragments slowly!” 0541 explained.
“I know!” Jiang Fei nodded. He obviously knew how valuable 0541’s current resources were!
The two chatted for a while. When Jiang Fei felt like it was about time, he returned to the game once again.
“You’re quite punctual today!” As soon as Jiang Fei got online, Isabella said sweetly.
“Of course. It’s because I miss you!” Jiang Fei was more experienced now. Girls liked to hear sweet words. Even if they knew that you did not mean it, they still liked to hear it.
After hiding Isabella back into the Pet s.p.a.ce, Jiang Fei descended to the ground and met Hua Mulan. Then, he asked Hua Mulan to lead the team and continue to the next town in order to evacuate the people living in that town as soon as possible.
Jiang Fei’s goal today was to complete these two Quests. Moreover, since he now had so many resources in his hands, he was not planning to build his new fortress like a normal fortress anymore. Since he had money, he naturally had to build a tyc.o.o.n version of it. Although the cost of building a tyc.o.o.n version fortress was way higher than building a normal fortress, the combat power was also far better. The only drawback was that it was an extreme waste of resources. However, Jiang Fei’s resources were free, so he was naturally not too bothered about it.
