Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 470: Verification
Arriving at the Enjoy the World Hotel, Chen Chuan requested a private room with a view overlooking the Central City night scene. He ordered dishes on the Boundary Token, and before long, steaming dishes were brought up.
Wu Han happily picked up a piece of braised pork, perfectly balanced with fat and lean meat, shimmering enticingly. He took a bite, and the texture was soft, glutinous, fragrant, and tender. The skin was slightly sticky but also had a bit of chewiness. The juices instantly filled his mouth. He exclaimed, "Delicious! This taste is no worse than Yang Zhi's!"
Chen Chuan said, "It's said that some of the water used here is transported from Yang Zhi. This is the only hotel in Central City that does that."
Wu Han was taken aback, and said, "No wonder I thought it tasted a bit familiar. This is the real deal."
He then ate several more pieces of braised pork, satisfying his craving. He put down his chopsticks, grabbed a paper towel to wipe his mouth, and asked what he hadn't asked in the car, "By the way, junior, who exactly attacked us today? Judging by the scale of things, with guns and cannons, they must be quite powerful."
Chen Chuan said, "Although there is no clear conclusion yet, I suspect it's likely someone from the Ferris Wheel Corporation. You guys need to be careful in the future."
"Ferris Wheel Corporation?"
Wu Han pondered for a moment, "I seem to have heard of them somewhere?" Then he remembered, "The last time I went on a mission with you, junior, didn't we encounter this Company?"
Chen Chuan nodded, "That's them."
Wu Han said, "This Company seems very arrogant. Hey, Molan Company used to be like that, I don't think they will last much longer."
Chen Chuan said, "These Companies are similar to us Martial Artist in some ways, in that they either advance or retreat.
It's just that the environment they are in doesn't allow them to stop. They will try every means to expand their own ecological environment. In the end, either they eat others, or others eat them."
This mention of eating made Wu Han crave more food. He turned his head and noticed that in the time it took to say just a few words, Wei Dong had silently eaten more than half of that large plate of braised pork.
He quickly picked up his chopsticks, "Hey, kid, eat slower, leave some for me."
Chen Chuan smiled and tapped the Boundary Token a couple of times, ordering a few more plates for them.
As one plate of dishes after another was brought up, the two of them indulged to their hearts' content, eating with greasy mouths, and exclaimed how enjoyable it was.
When they were on missions in Wuyi, they ate Nutrition Paste. This stuff was very filling, and they rarely went to restaurants to eat. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the money. They earned a lot from Commissions in Yang Zhi. It was mainly that eating out was a waste of time.
The extra one or two hours they could do more Commissions and do more training, completely no few Nutrition Paste come save time and effort, and ordinary people eat these provided nutrition and energy also no Nutrition Paste come comprehensive, so at most just in the spare time to relax occasionally improve the taste only.
After finishing their dinner, both of them contentedly held drinks and came to the window to look at the night view below, pointing and arguing.
When Chen Chuan was paying the bill with the Boundary Token, the hotel platform gave a reminder, telling him that the Boundary Fusion Company account had already paid for it.
He checked and found that Fusion Boundary Company had an account connected to the Central City public service platform. As the Company Security guard chief consultant, during the New Year period, as long as he consumed at various service places in Central City, the Company would pay for him as long as it didn't exceed a certain limit, which was regarded as a welfare benefit from the Company.
He also looked at the Company platform. Everything had been normal in the past month. Meng Shu "s travels had not encountered any attacks. Ferris Wheel Corporation obviously had no intention of targeting her again. So, the previous attack, including this one, was likely all directed at him.
He also looked through the news of the past month, especially on the Marginal Channel. Besides the usual violent conflict programs in Central City, there didn't seem to be anything particularly noteworthy.
However, when he saw below, a voice message caught his attention. After the New Year, the number of airships in the berths of various districts seemed to have increased significantly, and there were also more Ocean liners parked at the Port than in previous years.
He pondered that whether it was airships or ships, besides military use, the rest could participate in transactions and transport bulk goods or even a large number of people.
This situation showed that Central City was not as unchanged as it seemed on the surface, but was preparing and brewing something, but it was either far from ordinary people or the upper levels had intentionally blocked the news.
After reading it, he picked up the hot drink on the table and drank it, then took Wu Han and Wei Dong out of the hotel, and drove to his residence in Martial Determination District, planning to let Wu Han stay there tonight.
Although Enjoy the World Hotel also has guest rooms, it requires citizen status, and non-citizens are not accepted at all. It is better to live in their own place, but also can bring two people to recognize the place.
After bringing the two to the residence, Wu Han exclaimed again, "Junior, you have such a Mansion in Central City? Are Main Academy students so good at making money?"
Chen Chuan said, "Most Main Academy student are recommended students, and their families are already well-off. However, this house of mine has another source. I'll tell you the details when I have time in the future. There is a training room on the fourth floor. If senior and Wei Dong feel restless, you can go there to exercise later."
Wei Dong "s attention was immediately attracted, and he said eagerly, "Is it the same training room as in the dormitory?"
Chen Chuan said, "The area is roughly the same, but the functions are much different. The energy field resources of Main Academy cannot be compared to those outside. You'll know when you use it."
He took the two of them around here, and then took them to see the "Ever-Victorious General" in the garage with the flag on top.
Wu Han exclaimed and walked around the car, "This car matches my temperament very well, junior. I must get one to drive in the future. Ever-Victorious General, the name is good too, it's meaningful, and it suits me."
Chen Chuan said with a smile, "If you like it, go up and try it. I don't usually drive this car, as long as you don't drive it out."
Wu Han shook his head and said, "No, Wei Dong is always clumsy, don't break it."
Wei Dong said strangely, "Why would I break it?"
Wu Han sneered, "Who else but you? Remember the last car we seized, the one you drove? It overturned seven or eight times along the way. What did it look like when we got to the destination? The people who received the car looked at us with disgust."
Chen Chuan smiled. At this moment, a flicker appeared on his Boundary Token. He glanced at it and saw that it was Ni Qianxi contacting him, so he walked to the side.
"Sister Ni?"
Ni Qianxi "s voice came out, "Little Chen, the bureau has received your report, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it. An investigation is underway. When another convoy chased after them during the day, we found the car parked there, but the people had already withdrawn.
The United Power Heavy Industries logo on it was temporarily pasted on. We have already notified United Power Heavy Industries and asked them to prove themselves."
Chen Chuan nodded. It was highly likely that United Power Heavy Industries didn't do it, but since the Processing Bureau had this excuse, they would definitely not let it go easily. They could also let United Power Heavy Industries use Strength to investigate together, because this kind of act of using other Company names is something that all Companies hate.
"The combat personnel who attacked you came from various sources. We checked their identities and found that some were from Outer Ocean, some were from Sheni Peninsula, and some were from Linax Federation.
The combat Implants on these people were all foreign products. It can be determined that they were uniformly customized. The two Third-Limit Martial Artist were ostensibly hired locals from the platform, but the past experiences of the two receiving funding were very obscure, which in turn indicates that they have similar backgrounds.
We did a residual Biological Field test on them, and these two people should have lived at sea for some time in the past.
Combining the previous situation, the analysis department analyzed that the mastermind behind the scenes is very likely to be Ferris Wheel Corporation."
Speaking of this, she hummed, "Actually, I can guess it without their analysis. Who else but Ferris Wheel? They are the most active recently."
Chen Chuan asked, "Sister Ni, how is the bureau planning to deal with this matter?"
Ni Qianxi said, "The matter is not small, after all, it is a public attack on Government officials on National Highway. The bureau has reported it and applied for a strict review of Ferris Wheel Corporation. It is said that the higher-ups are holding a meeting to study it. Wait for the results. This is not a matter of a day or two."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Thank you, Sister Ni, for the notification."
Ni Qianxi said, "What are you thanking me for? The bureau should give you an explanation for this matter. Rest assured on your vacation. I will keep an eye on it. I will notify you of any progress."
Chen Chuan thanked her again, said that he would treat Ni Qianxi to dinner another day, and then ended the call. At this time, seeing that it was late, he didn't want to go back to Mysterious Palace Tower. After arranging guest rooms for Wei Dong and Wu Han , he returned to the study on the top floor alone.
He took out the broken knife from the day, and as soon as he held it in his hand, he had the same feeling as during the day.
He turned the hilt of the knife to face him, saw a pin on it, pulled it out, and found something flickering in the gap under the light. At the same time, his mind was clear. The source of that invigorating Spirit should be here.
He poured out the things and found that they were many scattered, crystal-clear objects. He didn't know what they were, but he could clearly feel that these things were good for him.
Because as soon as he got outside, he felt that his Spirit quickly became clear and condensed. He instinctively felt that this thing had a great auxiliary effect on cultivating Steady Spirit.
It seemed that Jian Cheng Sheng "s Spirit was so condensed because of this thing.
He tried to check it with the Boundary Token, but he couldn't find any relevant information, which further proved that this thing was not simple. After thinking about it, he could find time to ask Senior Brother Cao , who must know what this thing is.
As for the broken knife itself... He looked at the Long Sword divided into two sections. He would have to ask the logistics team of the Processing Bureau to help repair it this time, so that it could be placed in the collection room afterwards.
