Chapter 55 (2/2)

Just when Mu Fan finished his big pineapple, a hover vehicle parked beside him, and the middle-aged butler from this morning stepped out of the driver’s seat and bowed to Mu Fan.

“Greetings, Young Master Mu Fan, please board the vehicle as the banquet is going to start in an hour and a half.”

Mu Fan got into the vehicle and pressed down on the soft seating out of curiosity.

“Don’t act so curious; that makes me, Lord Black, lose face, alright?” Mu Fan’s body suddenly straightened having heard a voice out of nowhere, and he reconfirmed again to make sure that it came from the bone conduction earphone from his left ear.

Black! The mysterious Black!

“Are you curious why you can hear my voice? Hehehe. I did some meaningful things in the past few days and discovered something interesting, but I’ll tell you those later since you’re not free to talk now anyways.” Black’s voice sounded proud as it came through Mu Fan’s left ear.

“Stop looking around. I bet you’re wondering how I can see your every move. Hahaha, I can go anywhere on this planet’s network. Look up at the micro-camera in front of you and say hi!” Mu Fan didn’t even have to ask before Black gave out the answer in its mischievous tone.

Mu Fan noticed a tiny hole on top of the vehicle in the front, and it had a glass reflection. Mu Fan nodded at it subtly without catching any attention.

“How is it? Isn’t it amazing! I, Lord Black, am invincible.”

“Oh, right, Mu Fan, how come you only bought the earphone today? Didn’t I tell you to get them way earlier?”

“Hey…”

Such a talkaholic. Mu Fan couldn’t help but want to shut down the earphone. Black was like an A.I. that got muted for hundreds of years and was talking non-stop. Since Mu Fan he couldn’t shut down the earphone, he closed his eyes and sat still in his seat.

The first thing that he needed to have when he was around Black was to have a strong mind!

It took about 30 minutes for the hover vehicle to go across the city district, suburbs, and satellite cities…

Mu Fan suddenly felt the speed decreasing when he heard the butler’s voice. “Young Master Mu Fan, we’ve arrived at the transit station for the planet core trains. Please wait a moment.”

Mu Fan looked out through the tinted window, and a magnificent silver structure with the shape of a ring stood in front of him. He could only see a small section of the entire structure, but there were already dozens of magnetic railways heading straight into the ring and endless people lining up, waiting to enter. However, it seemed like the vehicle that he was in was passing through a special passageway heading straight inside slowly.

When the hover vehicle parked at the VIP area, the butler walked out and opened the door for Mu Fan. Through the thick insulating glass and stretched into the horizon, Mu Fan saw a huge hole within the ring structure that seemed deep enough to devour everything. It was black, and it went down endlessly across the mantle and the core. It was stunning! Mu Fan did not feel anything other than how stunning it was.

The wind was howling, and Mu Fan could still feel the immense pressure coming from the hole even with the insulating glass. He saw a dome-shaped iron object slowly ascending from below, and the wind finally stopped howling once it reached the top.

It seemed like the butler knew that it was Mu Fan’s first time seeing a planet core train, so he smiled as he explained to him, “Young Master Mu Fan, this is the planet core train, and it’s a necessary form of transportation on every planet. Depending on the diameter of each planet, it is able to pass through the planet’s core and go from one side of the planet to the other within 16 to 60 minutes. It’s a brilliant invention, don’t you think?”

Mu Fan nodded his head affirmatively, but then he heard Black’s disdainful tone from the earphone. “This is nothing; none of you haven’t even seen the best yet.”

When the train stopped, the butler smiled as he led the way. “Young Master Mu Fan, please follow me. We have a special waiting area and boarding bridge. However, due to the special structure of the planet core train, the vehicles needed to be placed elsewhere alone. So please follow me this way.”

Black’s sarcastic voice came through the earphone again, “Isn’t it just that they need to adjust seats according to the changes to the gravitational force on the way? He said that it has a special structure? I will have to give him 99 marks out of 100 for acting cool.”
