Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1195: Chapter 1194: Fully Restored

”What’s going on? Keke, isn’t it normal for me to chase after you if you run away? But Mr. Lin indeed is quite capable.” Li Pu said as he looked at Jiang Cheng’s adaptive land ship.

Jiang Cheng didn’t want to waste words with Li Pu because there was a large group chasing after him; however, when Jiang Cheng looked at the metallic object in front of him, Lin Shuai felt it was a small land fighter jet. He noticed that it was equipped with a Cation Cannon, which made Jiang Cheng believe that it might be very hard to escape today.

Wouldn’t Mr. Lin recognize this? ”Li Pu pointed to the Cation Cannon and said, ’If you want to try its power, be my guest. However, we value talent, and if you join us, the benefits you’ll get far surpass what you have now. What’s there for you to hesitate about?’ Li Pu said.

All the while, Jiang Cheng was calculating whether his adaptive land ship could withstand the attack of the Cation Cannon, and how many seconds it would take to reach a safe place. He didn’t pay attention to what Li Pu was saying.

”What are you doing? Jiang Cheng, now your life is at risk, and you still ignore me,” Li Pu was furious seeing that Jiang Cheng didn’t respond and seemed distracted.

”I won’t follow you. You have bad intentions, not thinking of peace but only focusing on war. Why would you think I would stand on your side?” Jiang Cheng said.

”Haha, so it is. Scientists like you do have integrity. Truly high-minded and noble. But given your current situation, you should know that a wise man submits to circumstances. What peace, what war, I only know that the strong should rule the world!” Li Pu said excitedly, ”The strong? I only know that your current behavior resembles that of bandits!” Jiang Cheng snapped angrily.

”At any time, achieving one’s goal is all that matters. Our Li Country is vast and abundant, yet those ignorant people of Kai Ao Country don’t know of our existence. It’s ridiculous. Now that you know everything about us, do you think you can leave here?” Li Pu looked at Jiang Cheng with a sinister smile.

”Do you think you can capture me?” Jiang Cheng said as he closed the cabin door. After analyzing the calculations, Jiang Cheng felt that his adaptive land ship could withstand the attack from the Cation Cannon. Besides, once out of the tunnel, it would only take five seconds to reach the destination. Jiang Cheng thought it was worth taking a risk.

Seeing Jiang Cheng was not planning to return with him, Li Pu also boarded the fighter jet and fired a Cation Cannon at Jiang Cheng. ”Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.” Li Pu’s face became more hideous.

Then Jiang Cheng quickly activated the defense system of the adaptive land ship and continued to advance. Suddenly, Jiang Cheng felt a vibration and noticed that a large piece of the Earth Ship’s Protective Shield was shattered. Jiang Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that the shield barely absorbed the attack from the Cation Cannon. After the disruption, Jiang Cheng became more cautious and returned to the hotel as fast as he could.

Li Pu stood there with wide eyes, ”What just happened? How could he withstand the Cation Cannon? Impossible, it can’t be true. How could he not only withstand it but also escape right in front of me at a faster speed? Impossible. No one has ever escaped from me, impossible.” Li Pu picked up the debris of Jiang Cheng’s Earth Ship Protective Shield from the ground, looked at it for a while, and then threw the fragments against the wall in frustration, his strong confidence shattered by Jiang Cheng with ease. He stood there, motionless, gazing at the ground in a daze.

After Jiang Cheng reached the hotel, he put away his adaptive land ship and checked the time, realizing it was already eleven at night. Tired, Jiang Cheng lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. The issues on Kai Ao Star were far more troublesome than he had imagined. Now that he knew about Li Country’s conspiracy, Jiang Cheng was unsure how to prevent the war from happening because, in his view, many places in Kai Ao Country might be filled with radical Li People. Jiang Cheng thought and thought until he fell asleep.

Jiang Cheng woke up the next day, checking the time to find it was already eight in the morning. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Cheng opened the door to see Zhao Shuai rush in, followed by Qi Rongfeng, ”Lin, are you okay? That old hag let you out? You scared us to death.” Zhao Shuai looked worriedly at Jiang Cheng.

”Yes, Lin, after the old hag knocked you out, she threw the three of us out. We waited for you at the entrance of the Dark Cosmos but didn’t see you, then we heard from Mantasha that you’d returned to the hotel. Only then did we come back.” Qi Rongfeng said.

”Mantasha told you? I’m back.” Jiang Cheng said. ”Yeah, if it weren’t for him saying you’d returned to the hotel, I would’ve asked my dad to eradicate the Dark Cosmos!” Zhao Shuai said angrily.

”No matter, haven’t I come back now?” Indeed, Mantasha knew my destination all along. It seemed like my every move was in his grasp, and Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

”So, Lin, did Mantasha give you any trouble? How did you manage to get out?” Qi Rongfeng asked.

”He didn’t really trouble me, just detained me, but in the end, I got out myself. No worries, you don’t need to be concerned anymore.

Jiang Cheng thought it wise not to tell Qi Rongfeng and Zhao Shuai about Li Country’s matters for now, as the more they knew, the more dangerous it would be.

”Although we were worried about you, I always felt that you could solve it.” Zhao Shuai earnestly patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder.

”But still, it was me who took you to the Dark Cosmos. If something had happened to you, I... I...” As Zhao Shuai spoke, he choked up.

”Alright, all good now, haven’t I come back safe? I made you worry,” Jiang Cheng patted Zhao Shuai’s shoulder. Jiang Cheng suddenly felt warmth, knowing that on this cold and strange planet, having such warm friends made him feel not so lonely.

”Let’s go for a meal, it’s on me today.” Qi Rongfeng patted Zhao Shuai’s shoulder.

”Oh wow, not easy. Qi Rongfeng, you being this stingy... I can’t believe I’m going to have a meal you pay for in my lifetime. I want to have that newly opened Italian restaurant at the corner.” Zhao Shuai raised his eyebrows and said to Qi Rongfeng, his eyes still red, but hearing about a free meal seemed to make him completely revive.

Jiang Cheng and Qi Rongfeng exchanged knowing smiles, and the three headed to the corner restaurant. As it was a newly opened pasta place, many people were dining inside. The waiter warmly welcomed them in, and Zhao Shuai chose a seat by the window, ”Rongfeng, does this mean I can order whatever I want?”

Zhao Shuai raised his eyebrows at Qi Rongfeng and said.

Qi Rongfeng saw Zhao Shuai’s familiar expression and sighed in resignation, ”Go ahead, I know I’m going to bleed out today.”

”I’ll have this, and this, and I want these too.” Zhao Shuai said to the waiter while pointing at the menu. The waiter took the menu and left.

”Wow, it feels so refreshed, it’s been a long time since I had a proper meal.” Zhao Shuai said, squinting his eyes in the chair.
