Chapter 289 - Getting a Temporary Resident Permit (2/2)
“How did you know you’d find data here?” Lonemoon and Yi Qing jumped.
“Every planet in District T of the Star Alliance has such a supervision station,” Shen Ying answered casually. “There’s one on Earth as well, but it’s been covered.” This was also why she could connect to the Star Network.
“…” Lonemoon did not fully understand her, but all of it looked very impressive.
Shen Ying rolled out a map and messed around with the data next to the hologram. After awhile, she spoke. “This really is the Mineral Planet.”
“What Mineral Planet?”
“More than 80% of this planet was made out of a mineral called W9851,” Shen Ying explained. “This type of mineral is common in the Star Network and it can be found on other planets as well. That’s why this supervision station has been abandoned. But the W9851 minerals are highly flammable. They explode violently and the flames would spread like wildfire.”
“You mean to say…” Lonemoon’s eyes twinkled. He immediately understood what Shen Ying was saying. “As long as we cause these minerals to explode, we can destroy the entire planet?”
“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded. “But there is one problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“This surface of this planet has been infected by all the animals and plants. The minerals are hidden deep inside the mess. My older sister would not let me help you all. Unless you find a way to destroy the surface of the planet and cause the minerals inside of it to explode, you would not be able to destroy the entire planet!”
“How thick is the surface of the planet?”
“A couple thousand metres.”
“That thick?” That was absolutely frightening.
“I will go!” Yi Qing suddenly shouted.
“You can’t destroy the surface either.” Before Lonemoon could finish speaking, Chef walked out of the room. “Wait outside-”
Lonemoon did not get to finish his sentence. A huge amount of sword Qi burst forth from Chef’s body. With a wave of his sword, he struck all the birds behind them dead. Immediately, they saw flames cover the entire sky as the birds got burnt alive. It looked almost as if the clouds were on fire. Still, Lonemoon could feel Yi Qing’s sword Qi. His body began to tremble from the impact.
This was shocking. Who knew that Chef’s cultivation level would be so frighteningly different from before? And this fire…
“True Phoenix Fire!” Aren’t you a dragon?
Before Lonemoon could figure things out, and after destroying all the birds, Yi Qing flew toward the ground. In seconds, strong sword Qi filled the air around them. They became covered by a dense golden light which was forming the shape of a great sword. The sword was thrown straight into the ground.
There was a loud crash as they felt the entire planet shake violently. Huge cracks appeared on the ground all around them. The ground began to open up wider and wider, until the ground became a series of deep, bottomless pits.
He… destroyed it!
(⊙ o ⊙)
Lonemoon’s eyes widened. Indeed, he was a cheat.
He turned to look at Shen Ying’s screen. It showed that they had only destroyed 2000 metres of the surface. This would not do! They still had a bit more to go.
“Chef…” Lonemoon started to call Yi Qing back.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a phoenix crying. Yi Qing, who had been holding on to the sword just seconds ago, suddenly turned into a gigantic fire phoenix. He flew straight toward the bottom of the pits, lighting them up. The flames caused the pits to go even deeper.
The planet was shaking even more violently now. The number on Shen Ying’s screen continuously increased.
2700… 2800… 2900… 3000!
“We’re done!” Lonemoon’s heart leapt. He immediately conjured a seal and notified Chef. “Alright, Chef.”
The number on the screen stopped once again. A moment later, the ball of light that earlier disappeared into one of the bottomless pits flew back toward the supervision station. Chef returned to his regular form and walked out from amongst the flames.
