772 Arriving in Antarctica (1/2)
The ship had a 150-meter-long hull, with a width of more than 20 meters. The mid-section was equipped with two mechanical arms. A helicopter landing pad was located in the front with an ”Arctic” version of the Mi-8 helicopter. The side of the hull was painted with the giant words that spelled out in red -
Pathfinder!
It was the name of the polar expedition vessel and the name of the Antarctic research group.
There were no grand ceremonies. After the two dozen members, including Jiang Chen, boarded the ship, the Pathfinder left the port in a low-key manner. They crossed the equator and headed south. Not until all personnel boarded did the crew members surprisingly discover they were on the same boat as the famous president of Future Group.
”My name is Jiang Chen, obviously you already know that. Just go on with your tasks, I'm just taking a trip to check out the South Pole.”
The ship moved, and the leader of the team held a briefing session. All the crew members attended and Jiang Chen did not exclude himself. At the meeting, he made a brief introduction. After finishing his introduction, he headed back to his room and left the shocked crowd still in the cabin.
After the meeting, four girls that specialized in surveying gathered together and went to the cafeteria for food.
On the way, the four girls quickly began to gossip.
”Oh, is that...is that really Jiang Chen?”
”That's the one on TV?”
”The president of Future Group with multiple hundred billion companies...but why is he on our ship?” A girl covered her mouth with her her eyes widended.
”On the same boat with the president, My god, this is just the perfect beginning of a Korean drama!” Another girl said with stars flickering in her eyes.
”Wake up, Qianqian, it's time to take your medicine.” The girl standing next to her passed her, her lunch box.
”I hate you! Screw you!” The girl called Qianqian blushed and softly hit her friend
….
From the equator, the South Pole was close to 10,000 kilometers away, At the highest speed of the Pathfinder, being 18 knots, it would take them about two weeks.
Not until now did Jiang Chen realize how terrible of a decision he made not bringing Ayesha. With Ayesha, at least he didn't have to spend the nights alone. Now, his only pleasure all day was to stay in the bedroom with a Phantom helmet, using quantum communication satellite Wi-Fi to play online games.
The total number of female creatures in the entire vessel was scarce. First of all, the soldiers were all males. Second, all the scientific researchers were basically male. The only four female scientists were quite interested in him, but Jiang Chen was not interested in spending an intimate moment with them.
However, time did fly by quickly while playing online games and enjoying the sea breeze.
Although Jiang Chen had an administrator account, he did not use it. He registered an account and created an archer, and began to level up from level 1. It was certainly fun playing this game. In particular, when someone showed off in front of him, he would secretly open a hack and one shot them with a magic arrow
It felt amazing.
After playing for more than two weeks, he met several interesting netizens, but Jiang Chen didn't state his identity. When the Pathfinder approached Antarctica, he would probably stop playing the game.
