Chapter 663: Heading to Water Spirit VillageTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under the earth in the mountain behind Water Spirit Village!
The bracelet was given to Hong Dali from a monkey there. The other four of the Five Element Wheel couldn"t be traced anymore, but this bracelet from the monkey was definitely firsthand—it was not possible that this bracelet was s.n.a.t.c.hed from some other people by the monkey, right?
“Water Spirit Village! Dali, let"s go there now, shall we!?” Finally discovering such an important clue, what else was there to wait for, they should go there immediately!
Hong Dali violently nodded and said, “No problem! Then let"s prepare to move out now! Hahaha! Looks like our Earth has quite a lot of treasures! There"s actually such good stuff in Water Spirit Village, we definitely should go there and explore!”
He immediately put his thoughts into action. Since there isn"t any possibility of operating this Thunder Angel in the short term, there isn"t a need to stay here anymore. We shall go to other places and explore first, and see if there"s really some good stuff in the mountains behind Water Spirit Village!
Hong Dali"s luck was indeed extraordinary, just as he was thinking of this, his phone rang.
Luckily, he had a perfect-grade smartphone with such strong connectivity. This was three kilometers deep in the ocean, after all…
“Uncle Chief, you have something to report?” Hong Dali answered the call and beamed with delight. “Did you found something in Water Spirit Village?”
“Little rascal.” The Bureau Chief smilingly scolded. “Did you find anything good in the ocean? We did indeed discover something here.”
“There"s indeed something good here.” Hong Dali grinned and said, “It"s just that I am unable to move it yet. It"s an interstellar fortress.”
“My G.o.d!” The Bureau Chief exclaimed, “You really found something so good? What level is that fortress? Have you asked Deca?”
“I did. He said that it"s quite valuable.” Hong Dali casually replied and hurriedly asked, “Uncle Chief, what did you discover in Water Spirit Village? Quick, tell me, let me be happy too.”
“Simply put.” The Bureau Chief"s voice sounded quite excited. “In the mountain behind Water Spirit Village, we detected a super-large s.p.a.ce 1,000 meters below ground. According to the sensor, the diameter is at least 2,000 plus meters. It"s a dome-shaped underground cave. From the detected section diagram, it"s like half a ball placed on the ground. According to this shape, it isn"t a naturally formed s.p.a.ce.”
Speaking up to this point, he hurriedly added, “Dali, that bracelet of yours probably came from this place!”
Yup, everything is clear now.
The s.p.a.ce fortress Thunder Angel, the Five Element Wheel, all of the answers might be in that cave!
Hong Dali hurriedly said, “Uncle Chief, wait for me, I am going over now to take a look too. I don"t know how to enter the fortress here, but I sense that the answer might be in that cave. We are coming over now.”
Curiosity could change a person. Even the normally leisure Hong Dali was anxious too, not to mention the others.
“Okay, come as fast as possible.” The Bureau Chief slowly said, “We have stopped all work now to wait for you. Oh right, didn"t Deca drive a small s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p when he came? It should be quite fast. Why don"t you come riding it? I will inform the air forces here not to intercept you.”
“Hehe, okay, thanks, Uncle Chief!” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “We shall prepare to leave now.”
Having received the steps for their next mission, Hong Dali and the rest didn"t delay any longer and went back the same way they came.
After they returned back onto the Big Fish, the Bureau Chief was already waiting on the deck. Upon seeing Hong Dali, he directly stepped up, grabbed Hong Dali"s hand and said, “Little rascal, everything has been prepared there at Water Spirit Village, we are all just waiting for you. Let"s leave now?”
“Sure.” Hong Dali looked at Deca. “Brother Deca, shall we go?”
“No problem!” This time"s trip had really shocked Deca. He felt strongly now that if he could become Hong Dali"s attendant, that would be quite a fortunate thing—at least, the Thunder Angel and Hong Dali"s two mecha were super valuable stuff even at the heart of the Galaxy Alliance. That was definitely a symbol of Hong Dali"s ident.i.ty!
Being the attendant of such a person was definitely worth celebrating!
Everyone was very curious, so they didn"t waste any words and directly boarded Deca"s small s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was about ten meters long, not very big, but holding the few of them was definitely not a problem. Yup, the first thing that Hong Dali did after boarding was to rest his head on Li Nianwei"s legs. “Sister Nianwei, I am tired, I shall take a nap. Wake me up after we arrive…”
Everyone was speechless—this is a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p! An alien s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p! Aren"t you in the least interested!?
Deca didn"t express anything towards that, only instructing the AI on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. “Number one marking point on the world map. Set off.”
The AI replied, “Yes, Sir.”
The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p instantly took off. The Bureau Chief asked, “Deca, is the AI able to complete all of the operations on this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p?”
“Yes.” The Bureau Chief was an important figure on Earth, Deca was aware of this fact. If they want to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Earth, both Hong Dali and the Bureau Chief were crucial to them. Deca nodded and said, “After the civilization progresses, most of the large scale types of machinery have such an AI system on them. For most of the contents, we only have to instruct the AI and it will complete it for us. It"s very convenient. Of course, this AI of mine is only a normal-grade one; it can only complete simple instructions. Higher-grade AIs have other functions, such as self-judgment and such. However, those are quite expensive, there"s no need to waste the extra money.”
“Oh, I see.” The Bureau Chief nodded and didn"t ask anymore.
After all, the Bureau Chief knew that he wouldn"t be able to digest too much information at one go. Since he had Deca by side his, he could just ask him when there was a need to. There was no need to rush.
This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p from a higher civilization was indeed much better than the fighter jets on Earth. At least, on a Planet-level location, this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p could easily reach a speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour, much faster than the supersonic planes on Earth—calculating the sound of speed at 340 meters per second, it could only fly 1,224 kilometers per hour. But these s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps could reach 4,000 kilometers per hour. Advanced technological stuff was indeed better…
“Deca, the speed of your plane is indeed quite fast.” Hong Dali looked at the view outside. “This speed is really awesome.”
“It"s only average.” Deca smiled, looking slightly embarra.s.sed. “Compared to your mechas, this thing is still quite cheap. It only costs 15,000 Galaxy Dollars each. If you like it, I can just give this one to you after I return.” Hong Dali gave him as much as 12 Dali Beans in total when they just met, which was akin to 120,000 Galaxy Dollars. If he sold them on the black market, he could sell it for 150,000 each—therefore, Deca was still quite smart, using one-tenth of that value to earn Hong Dali"s favorable impression. Next time, if Hong Dali gave him another one or two Dali Beans, he would be rich…
“Oh, no thanks.” Hong Dali actually rejected something that was sent to his doorstep for free, this caused the Bureau Chief to be really angry. This prodigal! Hong Dali wasn"t concerned about that though. “Being one of the top prodigals, naturally, I will only want the best stars.h.i.+ps. I have a premonition that there will be a suitable one in that cave, brouhaha!”
Are you dreaming? Just because you said that there will be one, so there really will be one there?
Deca was nonchalant, but the Bureau Chief thought otherwise—according to Hong Dali"s history, this might really be possible…
A speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour was indeed quite fast. Just shortly later, they were already in the air territory of Heavenly State. The Bureau Chief had already made preparations beforehand, so when the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p projected out the world map, he familiarly enlarged the image, pointed at a spot, and said, “This is the place.” Yup, being on the favorable side of Hong Dali seemed to make him walk at the frontier of technology too. If it was someone else, they might have been frightened by such high technology. But after being with Hong Dali for so long, this was nothing to the Bureau Chief.
Holographic Projection? Our Earth has it too!
Momentarily, the Bureau Chief felt really proud of himself. Hehe, who said that I am a b.u.mpkin? I am quite formidable too!
“Yup, since we are here, let"s alight.” Deca instructed the AI, “Activate the invisible s.h.i.+eld, then find a place to land.”
If such a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p just landed like that from the sky, it would easily alarm everyone. Since he prepared to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Hong Dali, naturally, he shouldn"t behave too arrogantly, and instead, be low-profile.
Very quickly, after activating the invisible s.h.i.+eld, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p slowly landed. Upon reaching a height of 30 meters or so from land, a lift descended from the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Hong Dali, Deca, the Bureau Chief, and the others were all standing on the lift and descended to the ground. After the lift was retracted back, s.p.a.ce was distorted for a while and the guards in Water Spirit Village then saw Hong Dali and the rest just suddenly appearing on the gra.s.s patch.
“G.o.d! Young Master Dali has the ability to teleport now!” The guard placed all of the credit on Hong Dali without a second thought. Speak of which, being able to control such a huge typhoon, teleporting was just a piece of cake compared to that. Therefore, this caused Deca to be very grieved. “I am the one who did this, it"s me…”
Of course, he said this very softly, so there wasn"t any effect.
The guards walked up to them with expressions of believers facing their G.o.d. One of the guards respectfully said, “Young Master, you are here.” Only then did he report to the Bureau Chief. “Greetings, Bureau Chief.”
Hong Dali beamed with delight. “You all have worked hard. Reward, one each.”
Therefore, the nine lackeys took out the gold bricks from their pockets and gave the guards one gold brick each. “This is a reward from the Young Master!”
“d.a.m.n it, being with Hong Dali forever made me become a supporting character.” Seeing this scene, the Bureau Chief muttered. Then, he coughed and asked, “How"s the progress with the digging?”
The tunnel to the cave was the priority, so he naturally had to ask this first.
