CHAPTER 1530: CHAPTER 36: GONE WITH THE WIND

Eastern Star Region, Austin Star Domain, ’Venus’ Residential Star.

This once entertainment and film-famous planet is currently engaged in a battle indistinguishable between real and fake.

The tall dark blue mecha flew past one side of the city’s skyscraper, the shrieking explosion shattered many of the building’s windows, while in the nearby sky, another white mecha fired opening at high speed, two laser beams fiercely tearing through the space, grazing past the dark blue mecha’s shell, leaving two charred marks.

Soon, the building slowly collapsed, and people who had not yet fainted to death inside fled from the main body of the building like ants, some leaving quickly, while others fell into the thick smoke below.

"Ah——"

Various screams echoed from inside and outside the building, while several red and white armored rescue hover cars hovered over the collapsed building, initiating rescue operations, and fire-fighting and disaster relief teams were bustling about.

Nevertheless, neither side in the sky had any intention of ceasing fire, still engaged in an intense battle.

The propulsion behind the dark blue mecha burst forth once more after rush into the sky, like five blazing white petals gathering, allowing it to traverse at extremely high speed and nimble trajectories through the crisscrossing particle beams, dodging attacks several times.

Soon, the two intersected in the sky, and in a moment, two different colored beams collided, with fierce sparks like magnesium powder bursting and sprinkling down from the sky, then both mechas turned their bodies, shooting at each other in the high sky again, with blue and orange-white beams occasionally piercing through the atmosphere, the piercing sound of tearing heard one after another.

As a planet renowned for entertainment and film industry, there were no significant resources and interests here, so when the envoy from the Central Star Domain and the major factions in the Eastern Star Region clashed, this place was not included as a priority.

However, often the least noticeable places are also the ones most likely to have problems.

In order to avoid the sight of the three major factions in the Eastern Star Region, some small forces in the Eastern Star Region chose to meet with peripheral personnel of the envoy on this planet, because they feared leakage if they used online communications, and the trade items required absolute secrecy and couldn’t be directly uploaded to the network.

’Venus’ Residential Star, East 3 District, White Beach Resort Hotel.

This is a node where many tourists reside on this residential star, and the hotel is right by the coast, offering a beautiful view, with azure sea waves, pristine white sandy beaches, and beautiful film stars, etc.

Under normal circumstances, tourists here are often overflowing, making hotel rooms unavailable, forcing some to choose capsule hotels. However, in recent years, with changes in the Federation’s internal economy, the number of tourists here has also reduced significantly, making previously expensive resort hotels now become more affordable.

A small aircraft flew gently out from the white clouds, drawing a graceful arc, slowly descending along the coastline, finally landing at an airport not far from the hotel.

Soon, a man wearing a plaid shirt and casual jeans stepped off with a suitcase, judging by his curious gazing around, he seemed to be a tourist visiting this planet for the first time.

After leaving the airport, he quickly summoned a hover car, which took him to the nearest resort hotel. During the ride, he specifically had the hover car fly around the hotel building once, and snapped many scenes from the car with a camera.

"I hope to take a good look at the scenery here and take photos as mementos." The hover car’s recording described his request at the time.

After flying around the hotel building, the hover car landed under the resort hotel, and subsequently, the man walked in with his luggage.

After finding his reserved room, the man stayed inside for an hour and a half before coming out, seemingly ready to find something to eat.

"Do you have any dining places here with particularly good views, fewer people, and more tranquility?" He directly asked the hotel’s autonomous service machine.

"Hello, based on your inquiry, we recommend you to the Sunshine Restaurant on the west side of floor A32, or the Garden Restaurant on the east side of floor B23, or the Red Crab Restaurant in the D zone of the beach outside the hotel, each offers a unique gourmet experience, some featuring high-ranked T3 dishes or above." The Autonomous Unit lifted its head, displaying on the panel at its chest routes and images, along with various suggested plans, etc.

"Okay, then take me to the Sunshine Restaurant on the west side of floor A32, and remember to reserve a seat for me."

"Alright, received your order." Subsequently, the robot guided the man to the designated area.

It was indeed as described, with sunshine bright yet not harsh, allowing enjoyment of the pleasant sea breeze, as well as an overlook of the coast and beach below.

After sitting down and ordering, the man leaned back on the beach chair to bask in the sunlight and closed his eyes for a nap.

At this time, there weren’t many guests here, and no one would intentionally disturb this tourist in the corner.

As time went by, when the autonomous unit brought the prepared chilled drinks and gourmet dishes, this guest had already fallen asleep.

"Hello, your drinks and meals are ready." The Autonomous Unit voiced an alert, but the man remained reclined on the beach chair, sleeping soundly without any intention of waking up.

In such cases, the Autonomous Unit had to remind once more, increasing the volume, trying to wake the man up.

Unfortunately, such efforts had little effect, as he remained unmoved, but the sound caught the attention of some other guests in the restaurant.
