Sky-cracking Rider

Seeing that the five individuals had stabilized their emotions, the monk Miyoshi Xuesen continued his methodical introduction of this Lin something-or-other, listing from birth to the path of crime, even detailing who had shared a bed with whom on particular dates and how often they could still muster the energy for it these days.

However, these were all trivial details to help Chen Fei and others get a better understanding of the target for reference purposes.

The Pure Light Sparrow that had followed them into the wooden hut hopped onto the tatami mat and stuck its little head into Chen Fei's teacup, pecking quickly at the content before tilting back its head to take a sip.

It then flapped its wings and flew around the room.

It seemed to notice that Xiao Jiu was in the hut, as the frantic chirping outside had not stopped.

No one seemed to mind the little creature the size of a fist.

After all, the Pure Light Sparrow was considered one of the most harmless Magical Beasts, unless it mastered offensive spells, its combat power was practically negative.

"Next up is the combat plan…"

Miyoshi Xuesen's organizational ability was indeed as Chen Fei had guessed; commanding a Ninja Team must have made him accustomed to hunting assignments. The plans developed, from A to D, were meticulous enough to deal with various situations.

But this time the target wasn't just an Ability User, but also an important core member of the "Water Bear" organization. That's why Chen Fei and the other five Ability Users, two Spellcasters and three supernatural power users, were brought in. Close combat wasn't necessary; the group of ninjas would probably be sufficient on their own.

"Chiu!"

A blast of bright light suddenly erupted from a corner of the hut, almost coating half of it in blindingly white radiance.

A few figures then stumbled out awkwardly, with more wavering in the distance.

The ninjas who had been forced to reveal themselves quietly dispersed and jumped into the nooks and crannies of the room, disappearing from sight again.

If they couldn't be dealt with, could they not at least be avoided?

The Little Bird cocked its head curiously; out of sheer curiosity, it couldn't help but release a "Light Burst Flash," which resulted in a trick that revealed more than one person.

Nice!

"Xiao Jiu, come back!"

Chen Fei couldn't let Xiao Jiu continue to wreak havoc in the hut any longer.

The Light-based Spells clearly had a strong effect against Dark Element abilities; otherwise, Teacher Shen's Shadow Wolf wouldn't think it's just a cat. Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire

(The wolf, beaten into a dog and then into a cat, has a journey of the heart that cannot be easily shared with others.)

"…Alright, does anyone have anything else to add?"

After talking in detail, Miyoshi Xuesen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

He had completely ignored Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu's mischievous behavior throughout.

A man of his stature wouldn't get upset over a little thing the size of a fist; he had that much tolerance.

Moreover, knowing the birds that perched on the big tree in the yard, which he was around all the time, they were just as curious as cats.

"I do!"

Chen Fei was the first to raise his hand.

With his other hand, he held Xiao Jiu in his palm to prevent further mischief.

"Go ahead!"

Miyoshi Monk nodded and made a welcoming gesture.

Chen Fei tentatively asked, "Is it possible to wipe out the target with a Demolition Bomb of 600mm caliber from over 100 kilometers away, one shot to get it done?"

"Emmmm…"×4

Everyone was either used to solo battles or team actions; what's with resorting to bombing without a word, and with a 600mm caliber at that? What was he planning?

A Demolition Bomb with a 600mm caliber weighs in tons by itself. Once launched, accuracy is the least of concerns; a deviation of a hundred or eighty meters is insignificant.

If such a bombardment were to occur, what's the point of them doing anything?

"You…"

Miyoshi Xuesen scratched his head, feeling rather overwhelmed, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Wait, have you been in contact with heavy weaponry of 600mm caliber?"

Only with such an experience could this B-Rank Metal Ability User have the audacity to make such a suggestion.

"The other day, I just had contact with the D-600 type twin-barrel Railgun, along with several other heavy weapons," Chen Fei confessed honestly.

There was no use hiding it; a simple check could reveal the truth, and feigning ignorance now could lead to a question of attitude.

In joining such a hunting team, attitude is crucial; any deviation, no matter how slight, is unacceptable.

"Who, who allowed this?"

Miyoshi Xuesen finally showed a bit of agitation.

Chen Fei's Metal Elemental Psychic Power reaching an Industrial-grade standard was no secret, but what made it particularly formidable was a skill known as "Sacrifice". Even though it wasn't a combat skill, it was more battle-ready than most. Since he admitted to coming into "contact" with it, that meant there was no denying it.

Such destructive power in the hands of an employee of a military contractor, could anything good come of it?

Any location on the surface of Blue Star could potentially be within the blast radius, and no place would be safe.

"The supervisor!"

A horse doesn't get fat without nighttime grazing, and a person doesn't get rich without some windfalls. Making a tidy profit, Chen Fei did not hesitate to sell out the supervisor.

We're all from the Jianghu, and it's not about spending every day together; just get the money and that's it!

Miyoshi Xuesen said with resignation, "I understand, heavy weapons should not be used casually to avoid hurting innocents."

After all, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee was a legitimate organization, not a villainous party that took human lives lightly. Despite the prevalence of guns, bombs, and Ability Users, they had some scruples, so their image mattered.

Lin Zien, who exploited the Lin Family's name, hid nearby his secret base deep in the rainforest. The base was close to native tribes, but rather than tribes, they're more like tourist spots, using the frequent traffic of vehicles and goods as a cover to mask some shady illegal activities.

But the number of unrelated indigenous people and tourists was still not small; if a 600-hammer strike went down, the secret base would indeed be instantly cleaned out, but the nearby tribes and tourist attractions would be almost equally doomed.

After answering everyone else's questions, Miyoshi Xuesen clapped his folding fan and said, "Get ready, we set out tonight."

"And..."

Chen Fei raised his hand again.

"Please, speak!"

A ripple went through Miyoshi Xuesen's gaze.

"I heard a Crystal Jet crashed, may I..."

Chen Fei pointed in the direction of the temporary junkyard for old machines outside the city.

The kind-hearted soldiers not only delivered precious specialized plasma fuel to him but also reminded him of the information about the Crystal Jet "Skyhawk."

The monk felt a wave of weariness.

This guy's "Sacrifice" skill paired with industrial-grade abilities was a perfect match; almost all human-made objects were unable to escape it.

If it were just sacrificing some planes, tanks, cannons, and the like, it wouldn't be so concerning, but as soon as it touches something high-end and slightly taboo, this skill could immediately cause a headache.

Just like now, inadvertently crossing the red line, he started eyeing the Crystal Jet again.

To acquiesce or not to acquiesce, that was the question for the monk!

"What do you think?"

The monk Miyoshi, not wishing to die for another, subtly pushed the problem back.

The Buddha said: "It cannot be told! It cannot be told!"

Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form; to speak is not to speak, and not to speak is to speak. Go figure it out yourself!

Emmm...

Chen Fei pondered for a moment, quietly got up, and left with Andrew, Tuert, and others.

As they slid open the shoji door covered in pure white mulberry paper, dozens of birds on the porch were startled and flurried into the air.

These little birds had remembered Xiao Jiu, boldly blocking the door, but they scattered in fear as soon as they saw humans, just like a scattering flock of birds.

"Go on, get out of here!"

Tuert, who looked like a young man, waved his hands irritably, making a shooing gesture.

The birds were too bold, almost daring to burst into the house.

Yet no one blamed Chen Fei's Little Bird for attracting so many birds seemingly out of nowhere.

After all, it was a Light-element Magical Beast, even if low-ranking, still higher class compared to these ordinary-blooded fowls.

"Hehe, what a little mischief-maker!"

Aunt Caroline teased Xiao Jiu on Chen Fei's shoulder with a smile.

"Ugh, it's really dirty here!" Masuya, an A-rank Wind-type Ability User, took out a scented handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose,

looking in disgust at the specks and spots newly added to the porch floor, bird droppings... likewise unable to fault the birds' sense of public duty, for they simply had none.

The others who came out together carefully avoided the bird droppings on the floor, and seeing that their shoes were lucky to be unaffected, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

-

Chen Fei, with Xiao Jiu, took an autonomous taxi and headed out of town.

Arriving again at the temporary junkyard for old machines, there were many fewer rubbish mountains than last time, with about one-tenth of the area newly cleared.

Like other Aircrew Bases distributed around the globe on Blue Star, Hablav also had a dedicated melting and recycling center for dealing with city waste.

After all, burning or disposing of it carelessly in landfills was bad for the environment. The ecosystem of the Yangzhou Continent was already very poor, and any additional damage could cause a series of chain reactions in nature. Who could guarantee that the Mutants wouldn't cause even greater harm or become uncontrollable, sweeping across the entire continent, rendering Yangzhou no longer suitable for human habitation?

As Hablav City was being rebuilt, the demand for various construction materials increased, so the processing speed of the various metal waste materials in the temporary junkyard was much faster than usual.

No wonder that soldier, Babylon, had made an extra mention that the wreckage of the Crystal Jet "Skyhawk" would be dismantled in three days.

If Chen Fei hadn't arrived in time, he might have missed out.

"Xiao Jiu, use 'Light Mirror Spell' and look down over this area."

Chen Fei reached out his hand and scratched the little bird's chin on his shoulder.

The mountain of garbage in front of him was at least a hundred piles high, making it difficult to spot the Crystal Jet "Skyhawk" at first glance.

Instead of searching through each pile one by one, it was better to take a shortcut.

"Jiu!"

The little bird shook its body and its feathers puffed up.

Three feet in front of it, lights twinkled, and with a nearly inaudible click, the points of light spread out.

The "Light Mirror Spell" failed to launch.

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, then began to conjure the spell again.

Click!~

As usual, it failed.

Its "Light Mirror Spell" was hit-and-miss, entirely based on luck.

Sometimes luck was good, and it could cast successfully several times in a row; other times, luck was poor, as was the case right now, resulting in repeated failures.
