Chapter 638: A Surprise Guest

“We are not cutting part of it. We are taking it!” said 0541.
“Taking it? As in taking the entire beast?” said Jiang Fei to clarify the absurdity of 0541.
“Captain, the beast has been beaten to a pulp, literally. It will take at least hundreds of years to recover. At best, 10 years before it can even move freely on its own. In this period, it can only rely on psychic attacks to defend itself. It is nothing but a slab of meat, unable to do anything but scream. In the eyes of the other Level 5 Metahumans in the world, this Level 5 Alien Beast is nothing but trash. However, they will soon understand its importance and come after it. We are taking it in to keep it away from others. One of these days, you will be strong enough to take on this beast on your own! You will need to train on your psychic defenses if you want to defeat it though,” said 0541.
“Psychic defenses aside, if I can defeat this alien… thingy, I take it that the beast will be a treasure trove for me to make stronger Bio-Humans?” said Jiang Fei. Given enough time, Jiang Fei could devise a special plan just to defeat the beast. Once he became stronger, the poor alien beast would be Jiang Fei’s chicken! Jiang Fei could harvest as much flesh from it as he wanted! Like an unlimited egg supply… figuratively.
“Alright, do your thing,” Jiang Fei instructed.
0541 sent out a beam of silver light, engulfing the entire Level 5 Alien Beast like a cozy blanket. As it was in deep sleep, the beast was cut off from all external stimuli. It did not even realize that it was being protected by 0541’s barrier.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fei thought that 0541 would be absorbing the beast into the ring as it did with the other s.h.i.+p fragments. It appeared that 0541 was only s.h.i.+elding its presence from other people. Once the light barrier was fully erected, the faint Level 5 energy that the beast gave out was removed completely. Even if other Level 5 Metahuman stood next to it, they would not be able to sense its presence unless they got past the barrier.
“It is done. No one will be coming here to check on it. We are all set to leave this place,” said 0541.
“Well, time to leave this G.o.dforsaken volcano,” said Jiang Fei as he prepared the hoverboard.
After he was out of the volcano, he blasted the top of the mountain and covered the entrance of the volcano with dirt. That way, no one would suspect anything hiding inside the volcano.
“Where to next?” Jiang Fei asked.
Jiang Fei’s top priority was to find the Main Engine room of Braveheart. Energy Crystals would make a good find as well since Jiang Fei’s number one concern was his energy problems.
“I have three places to suggest,” said 0541.
“Where?”
“Earth’s North and South Poles, as well as the famous Bermuda Triangle.”
“Ahh! Good call,” said Jiang Fei.
The poles of the Earth were icy tundra with almost no human in sight. Even if they were, the chances of them finding an alien aircraft would be low. The Bermuda Triangle was famous for its ghastly phenomenon as well as unexplainable activities. Since there are many instances of s.h.i.+pwrecks, as well as, planes going missing in this area, it might have something to do with Braveheart.
“Let’s go to the North Pole first,” said Jiang Fei.
There were many reasons why Jiang Fei would want to go to the North Pole first. The first being time zone. Since he had already accepted 0541’s suggestion to court more female NPCs, he needed to play the game every night without skipping. Bermuda Triangle is located at the other end of the world, which makes things a little hard for him to log into the game. Unlike the Bermuda Triangle, Jiang Fei did not have to worry about time zones. At his position, he was much closer to the North than the South. If he failed to find anything in the North Pole, he would fly across the world towards the South Pole and only then, the Bermuda Triangle.
“I hear and obey, Captain!” said 0541. As long as Jiang Fei listened to its suggestion, whichever the place that he visits first would not be a problem.
Once the coordinate was entered, Jiang Fei set off on the hoverboard and zoomed into the sky. Jiang Fei reached close to supersonic speed on the hoverboard and took approximately less than 12 hours to reach the North Pole.
“Wow. It’s literally nothing but ice!” cried Jiang Fei as he shouted from the top of his lungs.
“Captain, fly around the area, I will start my scan,” said 0541.
“Very well!” cried Jiang Fei as the howling of the winds blew by, m.u.f.fling his voice.
To prepare Jiang Fei in the sub-zero environment, 0541 made a barrier surround Jiang Fei, preventing him from getting hypothermia. It was the same kind of technology that protected Jiang Fei in the volcano, as well as when he was deep in the ocean. The technology was created in Planet Namek to allow s.h.i.+p crews to travel far from the normal environment.
Jiang Fei flew right above the surface of the ice as the ground might be too deep for 0541’s scanning ability. It was not the first time he was forced to do something due to 0541’s lack of powerful scanning ability. After several hours of hovering above the ice, 0541 remained quiet for the entire time, indicating nothing. Eventually, Jiang Fei got tired and took a rest while snacking on biscuits and soft drinks.
“This is boring…” Jiang Fei yawned.
“It can’t be helped. When the s.h.i.+p crashed into Earth, many of my equipment were damaged. If I had a powerful scanning function, we only need to stay at home, and I can map out the entire Earth down to the millimeters!” said 0541.
“Stop bragging about the past when you can’t even do half of what you could now,” said Jiang Fei. To be honest, Jiang Fei felt grateful for everything that 0541 had done, even though its current function and power was only at 10% of its original capability.
After resting for a bit, Jiang Fei spent two more hours flying around the North Pole. After that, he came back empty-handed and decided to call it a night and prepared to log into the game.
Jiang Fei used the Giant Sword and made a cave in the mountain. He found himself a smooth piece of flat ground and laid there to sleep. With 0541 providing excellent protection, there was nothing to worry about the cold.
In the game, Jiang Fei continued his one-punch technique to finish off his opponents. He did not want to waste his time and efforts to “make a show” as his opponents did not possess any of the Treasure Cauldrons.
Just when he wanted to spend his extra time with the girls, a man suddenly appeared. It was a surprise guest that Jiang Fei did not want to see so soon.
